<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the moment of my birth I’ve been rejected by those who should have loved me, labeled as a freak because of my birthmark, bullied and tormented because I look different. When you’re told every day that you’re ugly and worthless you start to believe it. I managed to escape my malicious family and build a life for myself, but they’d broken something inside of me. I’m afraid to go outside, afraid to be around large groups of people, afraid of any type of confrontation and my panic attacks have left me pretty much house bound. If it wasn’t for my online friends I probably would have given up on life long ago. But there is one special friend, a man by the name of Mark, who keeps me going. He’s brave, smart, strong, and kind…and has no idea that I’m secretly in love with him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><i><u><span style="font-size: large;">Mark</span></u></i></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once I was a good man with a perfect life. I had a job I loved training dogs for the police with my wife, had a great family who filled our lives with laughter, and I woke up every day with a smile on my face. I was completely content in my blissful ignorance. I had no idea about the criminal world that thrived all around me, no idea that I’d made some powerful enemies who do anything to destroy me. Including killing my wife. I swore my revenge, and got it, but in the process I lost my soul. It was during these dark times, after my vengeance was fulfilled and I was drifting in anguish, that a beautiful soul rescued me from my own personal hell. I tried to keep my distance, tried to shield her from the villains of the world, myself included, but the evil that surrounds me wouldn’t be denied. Despite my best attempts to keep her safe, someone is out to destroy Layla, and I’m the only one who can protect her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But who’s going to save her from me?</div>

About Ann Mayburn</h3>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
With over forty published books, <strong>ANN MAYBURN</strong> is Queen of the Castle to her husband and three sons in the mountains of West Virginia. In her past lives she's been an Import Broker, a Communications Specialist, a US Navy Civilian Contractor, a Bartender/Waitress, and an actor at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. She also spent a summer touring with the Grateful Dead-though she will deny to her children that it ever happened.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From a young Ann has had a love affair with books would read everything she could get her hands on. As Ann grew older, and her hormones kicked in, she discovered bodice ripping Fabio-esque romance novels. They were great at first, but she soon grew tired of the endless stories with a big wonderful emotional buildup to really short and crappy sex. Never a big fan of purple prose, throbbing spears of fleshy pleasure and wet honey pots make her giggle, she sought out books that gave the sex scenes in the story just as much detail and plot as everything else-without using cringe worthy euphemisms. This led her to the wonderful world of Erotic Romance, and she's never looked back.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now Ann spends her days trying to tune out cartoons playing in the background to get into her 'sexy space' and has accepted that her Muse has a severe case of ADD.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ann loves to talk with her fans, as long as they realize she's weird, and that sarcasm doesn't translate well via text.</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><u> Review</u></b></span><br />
As you realize I've gotten away from doing my Book Blog, but for this book I'm glad I cleaned the dust of the old girl and I am thrilled to play hostess to everyone on this blog tour.<br />
Where does one begin after reading a book that reached inside their-selves and ripped out their heart, tossed around for a game of hacky-sack and then attempted to put it back, only slightly bruised.<br />
Holy Fuck! I've spent the better part of my adolescence as a girl who thought and felt her self worth was worth shit. That no one would love me because of my disease, or because I was overweight, or a million other things that a young impressionable girl can think. Thank the creator that I now have a loving and doting husband that humors me when I fan-girl over authors or something nerdy.That was literally a roller coaster of emotions, I couldn't put this book down once I'd opened it. Layla and Mark where perfect, their character development, the setting, admittedly I have to say that the villain was kinda lack luster once I'd come to that part. The build up was great but then the actual scene of the rescue.... nada. After the first two books in this series as well as her other books that are in the same verse, this left me with a case of blue balls.<br />
And it really shocked me. Ann you have never, ever left a girl hanging but damn girl :(<br />
Other than that minute detail, the book was the usual sexy you'd come to expect from the wonderful and amazing Ann Mayburn. I definitely look forward to the continuation of this and other series by her in the future.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>This is a STANDALONE dark(ish) erotic romance with insta-obsession between two damaged soulmates(no cheating-HEA-no cliffhanger)</i></b></span><br />
<b>Hannah</b><br />
All my life, I've only wanted one thing: someone to love me and someone who will let me love them in return. This seems like a simple request, but I was born to parents who wished I had died of childhood leukemia, instead of my younger sister, and who have ignored me no matter how much I've tried to please them. I'm starved for affection, addicted to the feeling when someone cares about me, which has led to a love life filled with either boys I've scared off, or men all too eager to take advantage of me. I thought I would never find a man who could feed my craving for constant attention--and then I met Leo. He fills the void inside of me, haunts my dreams, and does things to me in bed that are so good, they're probably illegal. I can only pray I don't scare him off once he figures out just how needy I really am.<br />
<i><b>Leo</b></i><br />
There are very few people in this world I've ever been able to form an emotional attachment to, but the moment I saw Hannah, I knew she was mine. We were bound together by fate, our paths crossing first as children, then as adults, each time marking me. She doesn't know it but I've been watching her for a year now, studying her, stacking the deck so when I do make my move, there's no way she'll ever escape me. But my world is a harsh, cruel place, and the cartel I work for demands absolute loyalty and trust...a loyalty Hannah has yet to earn in the dangerous eyes of my employers. There is only one way to ensure Hannah's absolute devotion, and I hope that she doesn't hate me forever when she finds out that not only have I brainwashed her into loving me, but that I don't feel an ounce of guilt about doing it. She's mine, only mine, and I'm keeping her forever.
<i>Warning: This story features a rough and demanding Dom who's completely devoted to bringing his baby girl pleasure through such unconventional means as spanking, mild BDSM, D/S, roleplaying, and various other forms of wicked kinkery.</i>

REVIEW</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I Loved this story. Period. Hands down, unequivocally..... Just. Loved. It. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
From the beginning where a broken Leo is trying to work through what he knows is the inevitable loss of his mother, he takes time to connect with Hannah. A stranger who'd just lost her sister, and her parents essentially as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Fast forward ten years and Leo is again dealt a physical blow with the death of a young boy he'd been entrusted to guard. Their paths cross again at a diner later, and sets Leo on the secretive plan to make Hannah his in every way. Every dirty, kinky, twisted way he wants. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But will Hannah be into his kink? Will she crave the painful pleasure he will give her? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Read it peeps. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you like lite Bdsm, with a taboo kink thrown in then this is your book. Ann hits it out of the park again with her skilled story-telling capabilities, spinning a tale that draws you in and leaves your panties drenched. Stock up on the batteries ladies, or better yet get a plug in ;) lol! You'll be thanking Ann later and lining up for the next book afterwards.</div>

<span style="background: white;">Trinity is the last of her bloodline and cursed with a bizarre ability for a Banshee. Living a mundane façade, she became a psychologist who helps her clients work through their own grief—or at least she did until her life took a sinister twist. Soon after the murder of her uncle, her traumatic past comes back to haunt her. She’s faced with a few other challenges she can’t control, along with her empathic talents. An unexpected offer of help comes from the Rowan siblings when she receives a ticket to the Wiccan Haus for a much needed retreat, along with some sizzling adventure she doesn’t bank on. The evil that stalks her has bigger plans than anyone on the island realizes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Kane, a tortured soul with a profound fear of showing anyone his Gargoyle form, is forever indebted to his best friend. They attend the Wiccan Haus for additional security training, but an unexpected run in with a voluptuous white-haired beauty brings about a change of assignment—and sleeping quarters. How will they maintain the safety and wellbeing of this mystifying woman from looming threats, while battling their deep-seated desire for her?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">With a deep breath and her Wiccan Haus charm in hand, Trinity folded her completed checklist for items to pack and shoved it into her pocket. She clutched the handle of her suitcase and mustered the courage to step into the portal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">In a flash, lights swirled around her, the sensation of gravity dissipated, her body lightened, and her limbs lingered in the air. She floated up, twisted, and spun on the spot. A faint, but deep voice echoed in the distance, “Incoming.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">In the blink of an eye, she bounced through the end of the portal, crashing into three large, burly men and toppling over a dark-haired stranger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“Whoa!” He stopped their rolling together and landed on his back. Heated hands gripped her sides as she came to rest on top of his rock solid-chest, face to face. He chuckled. “You okay, princess?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The sweetness of his warm breath brushed her lips and tingles of electricity ran over her sides where his hands held her steady. A delectable aroma of amber and patchouli wafted past her nose. Trinity leaned closer to his neck and inhaled then jerked. Lost in the depths of his dark eyes and chiseled features. His stare penetrated her and his touch stirred something deep inside. “I’m…oh, my….” She bit her lip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“Are you hurt?” He frowned.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“No.” She rested her palms on his hard chest. <i>But I don’t think I would notice if I was. My word, you’re handsome</i>. A warmth curled around her spine, followed by giddy tickles in her tummy. Her body responded to the contact and lulled her other senses. In the next instant, she snapped out of her lustful daze with dread. “I’m so sorry,” she sucked in a sharp inhale and eased herself to sit up. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">His hands settled on her hips. “I’m not.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Trinity slammed her eyes shut, her cheeks burned with embarrassment at the sudden realization she now straddled the stranger she had just tackled to the ground. “By the gods, please tell me this did not just happen.” She slung her leg over to kneel on the floor and scrambled to get up. Another set of heated hands gripped her under the arms and lifted her to her feet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“You landed pretty hard, are you sure you didn’t get hurt?” A second hunk straightened her glasses and brushed her shoulder off. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“I had a cushion to break my fall,” she whispered. Trinity smoothed back her hair to find the tight bun she had slicked her mane into had loosened and stray strands of hair littered her vision. She brushed away the rogue locks, and her breath hitched as her focus landed on another delectable vision. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">From the moment Alexandr Novikov met the young auburn haired woman bartending at her uncle’s pub in Ireland, he’d been fascinated by her delicate beauty and fiery spirit. Unfortunately, he is in no position to offer her the kind of safe, normal life she deserves so he attempts to put her from his mind for her own good. Something easier said than done when a deal is struck between the Novikov Bratva and the Irish Cleary Gang, an arrangement that includes Alex and his men being on twenty-four hour bodyguard duty with the object of his forbidden desires.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With over forty published books, Ann is Queen of the Castle to her husband and three sons in the mountains of West Virginia. In her past lives she's been an Import Broker, a Communications Specialist, a US Navy Civilian Contractor, a Bartender/Waitress, and an actor at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. She also spent a summer touring with the Grateful Dead-though she will deny to her children that it ever happened.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">From a young Ann has had a love affair with books would read everything she could get her hands on. As Ann grew older, and her hormones kicked in, she discovered bodice ripping Fabio-esque romance novels. They were great at first, but she soon grew tired of the endless stories with a big wonderful emotional buildup to really short and crappy sex. Never a big fan of purple prose, throbbing spears of fleshy pleasure and wet honey pots make her giggle, she sought out books that gave the sex scenes in the story just as much detail and plot as everything else-without using cringe worthy euphemisms. This led her to the wonderful world of Erotic Romance, and she's never looked back.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now Ann spends her days trying to tune out cartoons playing in the background to get into her 'sexy space' and has accepted that her Muse has a severe case of ADD.</span></div>

Cassandra Montclaire is a three-hundred-and-sixty-year-old vampire living in modern-day New York. Her human life ended three centuries earlier when, condemned as a witch, she was rescued and turned by a Master Vampire named Killian. Bonded in a passionate trio with their Protector, the three lived an exciting and dangerous life full of love, decadence, and dark passion. But then Killian vanished without a trace. Until now.</div>

A human ally of Cassandra’s has proof Killian is alive and is killing off members of his organization. Killian is now a marked man, and Cassandra must find him before time runs out and he is eliminated.</div>

This was another one that took me awhile to get into, but not because it was lack of being interested. No, this one was fraught with details upon details. The attention to the minute details and character development was Insane!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In my opinion it was on the level of one of my favorite authors J.R.R. Tolkien.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once the story grabbed me, just after Cassandra's turning, I couldn't put it down. I had to though because life got in the way. But I picked it back up when I could.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And boy am I glad!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The way the whole story is told, and unfolds...how it all builds to the inevitable outcome at the end.... GAH! I didn't want it to end!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now that I've discovered this amazing author, I can't wait to read more by her!</div>

This one was a little hard for me to get into initially, but as the story progressed I was hooked. The characters really do seem like a couple of people you might meet along the road. They didn't read like a two-dimensional, imaginary person (couple) I really liked that, it made the story setting and plot more believable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The pact about her brother though was an easy one to call, and I felt that there could have been a little more to his part in it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But really, overall I liked it, once I got into it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Definitely worth a read through or two, again.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Why did you write me?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The quiet words gave him a degree of control. “I beg your pardon?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Her tongue darted out to wet the plump flesh of her lower lip. “Why did you write me? Why did you write those letters?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Stifling a groan, he cursed himself. <i>Control yourself, man. </i>“You were the one who made the error.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Yes,” she said. “But you didn’t need to write back.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">No, he hadn’t. Her letter had clearly been an error, addressed to her friend and full of the easy conversation of long acquaintance. He never should have read it, but he couldn’t help himself. It had been so full of life, so happy and joyous, and he’d wanted to experience that. “Because I liked them. Your letters.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“What did you like of them?” A smile lit her face, a soft thing that seemed directed more at herself than him. “It was Etta, correct? She and her antics?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A smile tugged at his own mouth, and he allowed it some expression but not enough to pull his scar. “No, I liked you. That is, I like you.” Heat rose along his neck.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Oh.” A similar blush stained her skin. “Well. I like you, too.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He couldn’t stop his smile then.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She drew in her breath.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Immediately, he wiped the expression from his face. He knew how he appeared when he forgot himself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Why did you stop smiling?” Confusion filled her voice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Staring at the floor, he said, “I apologize. I know it’s grotesque.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“What is grotesque?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He dug his hands into the chair. “When I smile.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“No. Edward, no—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Of course it is,” he said, and not even her calling him by his Christian name again lightened him. “I am scarred, Gwen. You cannot claim not to have noticed.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“No, I have, I only—You smiled and I thought....You are so handsome, and when you smile, you are even more—” She cut herself off. A furious blush lit her cheeks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She thought him handsome? A low boil started within him, and he could not tear his gaze from her lips. </span></div>

When she helps out Cameron’s difficult daughter, a bond develops between the two dancers.

<b><i><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">About the author</span></i></b><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Here's a little bit about me for those who may be curious. I've been writing for about ten years now. I started off writing children's books. Then my husband suggested that I try an adult novel. I enjoyed writing it so much, and it turned out to be a romance. That made me realize that I could bring my love of romance into my writing. My writing has evolved over the years from partial romance, to inspirational romance, historicals (which didn't work at all!) to sweet, contemporary romance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">I've also learnt that writing isn't just about writing - that so much thought goes into it, there's also the editing process which is actually even more work than the writing process, and lastly, once the book is out, there's promoting of your book. But I love it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Besides writing, I keep myself busy by homeschooling my three children (okay one is a teenager), tackling piles of laundry and dishes, making all sorts of food from scratch, and helping out with raising funds for the local Cubs and Scouts. Reading and watching romantic movies help me unwind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">The best inspiration for my writing has been the ROSA (Romance Writers of South Africa) Group. What a fantastic group of writers they are who have helped me get to where I am now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some people think my boyfriend, Smoke, is a total biker psycho, a natural born killer who will destroy anyone who threatens what he considers his. They wouldn't be wrong, but he's so much more than that. For the first time in my life I know what it's like to be completely and truly adored by a man who loves me for exactly who I am, a high functioning autistic with more personality quirks than there are stars in the Texas Hill Country night sky. He's the dark salvation I never dared hope for, my beloved fallen angel who is trying with all of his wicked heart to save me from what seems like an entire world bent on either killing me or a fate worse than death. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
We're headed to the Denver, Colorado chapter of the Iron Horse MC, chasing after my narcissistic, junkie mother who decided to steal from some very bad men leaving her two daughters behind to pay the price for her betrayal. My twin sister, Sarah, old lady to the Iron Horse MC president, is looking for my mother as well, but Sarah's gone rogue and has no one to guard her back which worries me deeply. To further complicate matters, there are traitors in the Iron Horse MC who are working with my mother, not only helping her to escape but also informing my enemies of my every move. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The odds are stacked against me, but I will do whatever is necessary to protect those I love, and with Smoke at my side, I just might make it out of this mess alive.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>

<em><span style="font-size: x-large;">~<strong>Excerpts</strong>~</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>(Naughty and Nice)</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">~Nice~</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Resting my cheek on Smoke’s chest I absently stroked the sparse hair on his arms, humming</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
to myself while I enjoyed my post orgasmic bliss. I felt so connected to him, so loved, and I was </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
trying with all my might to avoid thinking about the day to come. The small, scared, dependent </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
part of me my father had tried so hard to destroy wanted to spend the rest of the day hiding here </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
with my man, but I knew Smoke would never allow that. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sure enough, his muscles flexed beneath my cheek as he sighed. “Time to get up, sweetheart. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have a brunch we need to get to and a traitor to catch.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His perfect, bronze skin gleamed in the sunlight, and I let out an appreciative sigh as he stood. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He really was too fucking hot for his own good. “You think one of them is a spy?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The old ladies?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Yeah.” I walked into the bathroom to quickly wash the remains of our activities away with a </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
brief shower. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There was silence while I cleaned up, and by the time I came back, he was looking at his cell </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
phone with a frown, busily typing something.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whatever he was reading wasn’t making him happy if the anger coming off of him was any </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
indication, and I tensed as well, my body reacting to his non-verbal language. I watched him </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
begin to pace, and my pulse picked up, throwing off the lingering afterglow from good sex. The </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
only time my man paced was when he was struggling to hold back some strong emotion, usually </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
rage. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fear tried to worm its way further into my heart, but I concentrated instead on getting dressed </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
in a pair of cute jeans, with elaborate stitching on the back pockets, and a lovely orange and pink </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
bra that matched my panties. When he growled, I turned my back and tried to apply my lip gloss </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
with a shaking hand, before giving up and watching in the mirror as Smoke paced behind me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I’d first met him, I would have wanted to stop him from pacing, to try to calm him down, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
but now I knew him well enough to realize that this was his form of downloading. For Smoke, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
his ground-eating strides somehow soothed him, so I left him alone and slipped on my wrist </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
cuffs, admiring the gleam of silver in the sunlight coming in through the partially opened shades </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
and sheer, white curtains.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A harsh sigh escaped him when he finally stilled and met my eyes in the mirror. “It’s not </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
outside the realm of possibility that one of them may be a traitor.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As soon as the word traitor left Smoke’s lips, memories of my father lecturing me on how </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
traitors were the lowest of the low, the scum of the earth, raced through my mind. If there was a </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
rat among the old ladies, I was gonna find her, fear of meeting new people or not. I would find a </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
way to get through this and bring us a huge leap forward in my efforts to get this fucking hit off </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
my head, and bring Sarah home. With this in mind, I turned back to look Smoke in the eye and </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
he grinned. With his words, the training from my dad kicked in, and I gave him a slow nod as my </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
mind shifted from ‘Swan, the woman’ to ‘Swan, the battle-trained survivor’. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“What do you want me to do?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Easy, mama bear. I don’t need you clawin’ anyone’s face off.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That brought me out of my cold space a little bit and I shrugged. “I’m going to do what has to </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
be done.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Still smiling at me, he nodded, and the light caught the hints of amber in his eyes, turning </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
the irises to the color of melted chocolate. “I know you will. But for right now, just check them </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
out. The traitor could be acting independently of her old man as well, so if a woman seems real </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
unhappy with her man, she might be a suspect. Or if she seems really happy with everything, that </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
might trip your female ESP as well.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“My female ESP?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Yeah, you know, that chick intuition shit. Look, we don’t have time to sit around and bullshit </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
right now. If we did I’d still be fuckin’ you instead of talkin’. Damn woman, I can’t seem to be </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
around you without wanting you beneath me.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Heat rushed through me, and I squeezed my thighs together to try and stop the initial ache of </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
arousal. “Okay.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My voice came out in a high-pitched squeak that made him chuckle. Not knowing what </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
the day would bring, I chose a loose, long-sleeved, pink, silky shirt with a tight, white tank </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
top beneath that, which was also a waist holster. As I got dressed, I waited for Smoke to come </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
molest me, but he remained on the bed and focused on whatever he was texting. A renewed </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
sense of purpose filled me, but there was also a growing sense of loss at being away from the </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
safety Smoke provided me. He was the only person here I trusted, and I wasn’t a big fan of being </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
in unfamiliar environments, even if he would be there with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Baby, what’cha thinkin’ so hard about?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before I could stop the words, I said what I was really thinking. “I don’t want to be away </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
from you.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He sighed and looked up, watching me as I hid a variety of weapons. The weary look left his </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
face and a slight smile curved his lips. “Make sure you don’t go through any metal detectors.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Strapping a sheathed throwing knife to my forearm, I glanced up and raised my eyebrows. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Ha. Ha.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I’ll be there, but you’ll be on your own with the women. If I hung out with you, it would be </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
totally out of character.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I placed my handgun into its holster on my waist before securing it in place and tugging my </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
shirt down. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I moved this way and that in the mirror to make sure the gun couldn’t be seen through the </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
tank and shirt, Smoke laughed. “Does that thing have a laser sight on it?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Of course. Never hurts to have that little bit of extra help, but I don’t use it much. If I relied </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
on it, I’d be a shitty shot at night.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Wouldn’t you worry that the laser would show them where you are?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Not really. When I shoot, I shoot to kill.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Baby, sometimes you scare me.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Ditto.”<br />
<br />
<br /></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
I was still lost in my own fantasy world when the door to my side of the truck was jerked open, and I was snatched out before I could tumble to the ground. Smoke ignored my shriek and grabbed a blanket from the backseat before carrying me over his shoulder to the back of the truck. He took the gate down, tossed the blanket onto the bed of the truck, then perched me on the blanket, all while speaking in Spanish to someone on the phone. Judging by his tone, it wasn’t a happy conversation, but he gazed at me with lust and not anger. He wasn’t pleased with whoever he was talking to, and it made his movements somewhat harsher than usual, more dominant. <u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br />
I liked that.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br />
He put his hand over the cellphone and said in a stern, no-bullshit voice, “Take your pants off and play with that sweet pussy for me. Fuck, the thought of being the first to do all these dirty things with you and knowing that I’m gonna be the only man you’ll ever have inside of you, makes me want to give your greedy body<br />
<ins datetime="2014-10-27T16:55"></ins>every inch of cock it wants, and then some. I own that golden cunt.”<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br />
I moaned loudly, and arched my hips up at him, begging him to touch me as he seduced me with his raw words. I wanted to argue that I belonged only to myself, but that wasn’t true. Smoke owned a piece of me now, not just my libido but a bit of my heart and soul. I should’ve been freaked out, but I also realized I owned a part of him as well. <u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br />
I looked into his dark eyes and studied his face, and found a dizzying amount of desire mixed with rougher, darker emotions. I deliberately made a great production of taking my clothes off, putting everything I’d learned while working at a strip club to good use. My moves were controlled, the dip of a shoulder to draw his gaze to my neck, a slight arch to my back that pushed my butt out. <u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br />
His voice faltered for a moment then picked back up as he traced his fingers over my bottom. The tremble in his fingertips as he stroked me made me want to drive him crazy. This man loved me. It was evident in his every caress, his every glance, and his every territorial move. Smoke was one hundred percent alpha male, and his need to assert his dominance over me never failed to turn me on. He put his hand between my shoulder blades and pushed me down, then propped my butt up so I had to curve my spine to accommodate his silent demands.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br />
Remembering what he wanted from me, I spread my legs the slightest bit and slowly ran my fingertip over the wet slit of my sex. Smoke went silent behind me for a long, long moment. When he spoke again, his voice had a rough edge to it that hadn’t been there before. I stared at the bed of the truck with unseeing eyes, my imagination painting vivid pictures of my man standing behind me, trying to concentrate on business while I tempted him with pleasure. The control that I had over Smoke with my body ramped my desire higher as I tried to entice him to touch me…taste me. <u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
I teased myself and him, swirling two of my fingers through my arousal before sinking them slowly inside of me. I startled when Smoke grabbed my hips, but it was only so he could arch me further and spread my legs wider, leaving nothing of my body hidden from him. He stroked the back of my thigh with one hand, his voice becoming nothing but a rumbling sound in my ears as I reveled in his attention. My fingers felt good inside of me, but his cock would feel so much better. <u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br />
“Touch me,” I whispered.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br />
Evidently I said it loud enough so that Smoke could hear me, because a second later he spanked my bottom hard enough to sting. I almost jerked my hand away from my pussy in surprise, but his hand cupped over mine. He moved my fingers inside of me, using my hand to touch my pussy the way he wanted me to. I gave myself over to him completely, my bite-bruised breasts crushed to the blanket and my ass feeling heated in the cool air.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br />
When he was satisfied that I was playing with my sex as he’d silently instructed, he removed his hand for a moment and unzipped his pants to free his thick erection Then he ran his thumb near the entrance to my body, coating it with my arousal. I tensed when that thumb began to spread my natural lubricant up to my anus, but he just played with me, toying with my body until I was trying to get him to sink his thumb into my bottom. A naughty pleasure tightened my sex, and I groaned as he slowly breached my rear entrance with his thumb, which felt gigantic.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

I tensed, not sure if I liked this sensation. It was weird and uncomfortable and…ohhhh, God... Smoke was smacking my hand away so he could press his rock-hard shaft against my pussy. His thumb turned from a distraction to an erotic thrill as he slowly sank into me, now speaking in English. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"><span style="color: #222222;">I had no idea what he was saying, too caught up in the press of his almost unbearably thick dick breaching me where I needed him the most.</span></a><span lang="X-NONE" style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 150%;"> </span>The feeling of coming together was bliss, and I moaned from deep in my chest. When he went to pull out, I squeezed my inner muscles and earned a rough, choking sound from Smoke, followed by a snarl directed at the person on the phone.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br />
“Baby, bite down on that blanket,” he whispered to me. “I don’t want this dirty fucker Hustler listening to you. You get too loud and I’ll stop fuckin’ you.”<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br />
I managed to gather the blanket, and hoped it was clean as I bit down on it. Personally, I didn’t give a shit if Hustler heard me. I’d seen him getting a blowjob by a pretty, but world-weary woman. Hustler could kiss my ass about me making any noises. It felt good to moan my pleasure into the cloth, and I had no doubt that Smoke—he loved gagging me—was getting off on the sight. Evidently, I had a bit of an exhibitionist streak because the idea of Hustler on the phone getting turned on by our fucking made my pussy clench. Now, I’m not saying I’d touch Hustler, ever, but I wanted to do anything and everything, as long as I did it with Smoke. A decadent shiver went through me at the sheer naughtiness of what we were doing, and I began to rock back onto Smoke’s devastating cock, enjoying the slow burn as he stretched me.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br />
He stood still and let me experiment, his thumb still playing with my bottom. My eyelids slowly closed, and I became lost in the nothingness, my entire being focused on what kind of sensations I could coax from my buzzing nerves while rocking my hips back into Smoke. Soon, I was making little, pained noises into the blanket. There was a place on the upper part of my pussy that felt really, really good when he stroked over it in a certain way. The ridge of the crest of his shaft was pressing into me just right, and I shuddered then grunted.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br />
I barely moved a few inches with each roll of my hips, trying to move to maximize that wonderful, hard tingle I got with every short stroke. It almost felt like he was rubbing my clit from the inside. Another hard moan escaped me, muffled by the blanket, then both of Smoke’s hands gripped my hips hard enough that it sent bright sparks of pleasure/pain surging through me.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br />
“You like that, my naughty girl? When my cock strokes you right…there?”<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br />
I cried out as he shoved roughly into me, pressing hard on that spot and making my whole body shiver and shake. <u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br />
“Yeah, you like that.” His chuckle was that of a smug, self-satisfied male. “We’ll have to see if I can make you squirt for me sometime. But right now, I need to fuck you before anyone else calls me.”<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br />
With that he pulled all the way out until the bulbous head of his dick stretched the entrance to my sex, a cry of distress leaving my lips before I could stop it. He laughed again, but the sound turned into a growl as he began to fuck me, harsh thrusts that rocked the truck with his movements. One of his hands left my hip and wound into my hair, pulling back hard enough that I couldn’t help but scream out my pleasure.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ann is Queen of the Castle to her wonderful husband and three sons in the mountains of West Virginia. In her past lives she's been an Import Broker, a Communications Specialist, a US Navy Civilian Contractor, a Bartender/Waitress, and an actor at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. She also spent a summer touring with the Grateful Dead-though she will deny to her children that it ever happened. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From a young age she's been fascinated by myths and fairytales, and the romance that often was the center of the story. As Ann grew older and her hormones kicked in, she discovered trashy romance novels. Great at first, but she soon grew tired of the endless stories with a big wonderful emotional buildup to really short and crappy sex. Never a big fan of purple prose, throbbing spears of fleshy pleasure and wet honey pots make her giggle, she sought out books that gave the sex scenes in the story just as much detail and plot as everything else-without using cringe worthy euphemisms. This led her to the wonderful world of Erotic Romance, and she's never looked back. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now Ann spends her days trying to tune out cartoons playing in the background to get into her 'sexy space' and has learned to type one handed while soothing a cranky baby.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Born to a destitute woodworker who
wanted a son to carry on the family business, Talia grew up with one phrase on
her lips: “If I had been born a boy.” If she had been born a boy, she would
have been cherished, supported, and launched into the world with her father’s
legacy. As only a worthless girl, she toils all day long to earn her handful of
inferior grain. <br />
<br />
Far away in the heavenly palace, Queen Vina receives a mysterious coin necklace
from Nicodemus, teller of stories. Compelled by the throbbing heartbeat, she
scours the earth to come across Talia, enslaved to a family who never wanted
her. Rather than admit her motives, Vina purchases the girl with a sack full of
gold. Furious, betrayed, and homesick, Talia endeavors to share her misery with
the entire palace. Vina, afraid to confess her love, allows herself to become
trapped in the role of brutal slave owner. <br />
<br />
Talia, bred to expect nothing but misery, faces the first choice of her life.
Will she accept love, even if it comes from an unlikely source? Or will she
reject the one who offers her everything? <br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If I had been born a boy, I would have followed
in my father’s footsteps to become a tradesman. Because I was a girl, he sold
me instead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“No,” Vina corrects me when I bring up the
story, which is not often. She doesn’t like the facts, and I dislike her pretty
lies. “Your mother agonized whether to let you go, but she knew you would be
better off here. She wanted to give you a better life.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I would call Vina on her mistruths, but she
claims I still reason as a child. All of my protests to the contrary serve to
prove her right, at least in her mind. Only when I agree with her does she
admit I am a full-grown adult.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“You’re happy with me, aren’t you?” Vina makes
me sit next to her at the formal dinners she hosts most nights, and she dresses
me in rich silks with real lace. If I tell her “no,” she sends me to my room as
punishment for my petulance. If I resist, she gives me one of her lessons in
obedience. Some are painful, some pleasurable, and all serve to narrow my world
and make me focus on her. How could I not, when she owns me?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“No,” Vina corrects me when I call her my
owner. “I set you free, and I gave you the life you never could have had
otherwise.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I turned nineteen, no one wanted to marry
me. My mother fussed with my “hope chest,” if it could be called that, and
arranged the one cotton handkerchief as if it could attract a suitor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Let me stay with you,” I entreated, and I won.
I always did. The house needed new walls, and I wielded the power tools. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“You’ve turned her into such a tomboy no one
will want her,” Mother chided Father, and the truth stung. I could have cared
for my parents into their old age, but they wanted me gone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>After years of playing the rake to hide a dark family secret, the Duke of Aversley feels tainted beyond redemption and cynical beyond repair. Never does he imagine hope will come in the form of a quirky, quick-witted lady determined to win the heart of another gentleman.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Thanks to a painfully awkward past, Lady Amelia De Vere long ago relinquished the notion she was a flower that had yet to blossom. But when her family faces financial ruin and the man she has always loved is on the verge of marrying another, she’ll try anything to transform herself to capture her childhood love and save her family―including agreeing to participate in a bet between her brother and the notorious, dangerously handsome Duke Of Aversley.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Colin rose, walked over to Amelia and grasped her by the elbow to lead her to the looking glass. “You do not properly see yourself, Amelia,” he said staring at her.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>He wanted to run the pad of his thumb over her skin and remove the lines of worry. Instead, he took a deep breath and continued. “The color of the gown does not make you beautiful nor in truth the opulence of the material. It is correct both can enhance beauty, but unless beauty is there it cannot be revealed.” He gripped her shoulders and turned her until she faced the looking glass. ”You already possess beauty. It’s here.” He brushed his finger down the silken skin near her shining eyes. “Real joy comes from your eyes. I also see beauty here.” He ran a finger perilously close to her full lips. “When you smile it’s genuine.” The tremor that coursed through her made him want to spin her around, tilt her head back and claim her delectable mouth for a kiss that would make her forget who the devil Worthington was. The problem was the kiss might make him forget who the devil he was.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Appalled at the desire she inspired in him, he forced himself under control, inch by painful inch, until the detachment that had always been a part of his life when it came to women descended over him like a fog blanketing the countryside. He forced his fingers to release her arms and break the contact that made him feel tethered to this woman who was supposed to mean nothing to him. Yet words that needed to be spoken still burned his throat. “Never forget that a dress cannot make you beautiful, because you are already heartbreakingly so.”</b></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Artemis's Hunt by Lia Davis</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(Sons of War #2.5)</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">By Lia Davis</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b>
<b>Blurb: </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Artemis, goddess of the hunt, has lived with heartache for the last fifteen hundred years, believing her only love is dead. That’s what her father—Zeus, king of the gods—told her. After recent events brought the truth to light,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Artemis must gather the courage to face her lost love again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Evangelos, former god of messengers, was content living in the mortal world until he discovered he has a daughter and her mother is Artemis. When the goddess shows up at his place of employment with tales of renewing his god status, he’s skeptical. Zeus wouldn’t reverse the curse out of the goodness of his heart. There is always a catch. The god king wants something in return.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When Artemis explains she has to hunt down her stepmother, Hera, in order to get Evan back into Zeus’s good graces, Evan demands to accompany her. However, the journey turns out to be a test that could bring them closer together or tear them apart forever.</span><br />

<div class="LiaWrites">
Artemis sat on a stone bench in the rose gardens outside the dragons’ home—her daughter’s new home with her mate, Tyson. Tears blurred her vision and her nose tingled, fueling her anger at herself for daring to believe for even an instant that things could be as they once were. Evan didn't want her, not after so much time had passed. She was going on Zeus’s mission, regardless— deliver his message then return home, alone.</div>
<div class="LiaWrites">
<br /></div>
<div class="LiaWrites">
She sensed her daughter before she entered the small courtyard. “I saw Evangelos.”</div>
<div class="LiaWrites">
<br /></div>
<div class="LiaWrites">
“I know. He called.”</div>
<div class="LiaWrites">
<br /></div>
<div class="LiaWrites">
“He didn't want me there.” Although she tried to contain the storm of emotions within, some of her misery leaked out in her tone, frustrating her further. It was bad enough that she ached from a rejection she should have foreseen. She should have better control than to let others, even her daughter, know of her weakness, and finding she didn't was humbling.</div>
<div class="LiaWrites">
<br /></div>
<div class="LiaWrites">
Ashlynn appeared in front of her as she knelt down and took her hands. “That is not true. He’s hurting, like you. Men handle feelings different than we do.”</div>
<div class="LiaWrites">
After a few moments, Artemis squared her shoulders. “I have to find Hera.”</div>
<div class="LiaWrites">
<br /></div>
<div class="LiaWrites">
“What? Why?”</div>
<div class="LiaWrites">
<br /></div>
<div class="LiaWrites">
She met her daughter’s concerned stare. “I have to deliver a message to her for Zeus. In exchange, Evangelos gets reinstated as a god.”</div>
<div class="LiaWrites">
<br /></div>
<div class="LiaWrites">
Ashlynn stood, folded her arms, and narrowed her eyes. “If you live through it. Do you even know where she is?”</div>

Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt and childbirth, she is the
daughter of Zeus and Leto. Many traditions said she was a virgin goddess, never
wooed by a man. That was until she met Evangelos while on a hunt. </div>

For fifteen hundred years she believed her love had died. A
deception her father let her believe until her daughter, Ashlynn, discovered

AD</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Artemis crept through the
darkening forest, her bare feet barely making a sound as she hunted her prey.
The scent of damp earth and spring wildflowers filled the air. The <i>thump</i>, <i>thump</i> of her heartbeat and that of the deer hiding amongst the
foliage a few feet away were the only sounds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The doe’s head rose above the
brush, her ears flickered as she carefully stepped forward. Artemis stilled,
slowly pulled an arrow from her quiver and drew her bow. Before she could fire,
the animal jerked her head toward Artemis, then took off in the opposite
direction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Damn</i>. <i>So close</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A familiar, masculine scent
mixed with that of forest and earth met her nose. Annoyance bathed her, turning
to anger as she twisted sharply to face the intruder. Evangelos, minor god of
the messengers, stood a few feet away, his own bow at the ready. She snarled,
glancing from the bow to the smug look on his face.</span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“I thought Hermes taught
his sons better manners. Don’t you know it is dangerous to sneak up on me
during a hunt?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One large, bare shoulder rose in
a lazy shrug as he stalked closer. She planted her feet in place, refusing to
show him any type of weakness—he would never know how her body heated when he
was near, something she hadn’t experienced with any other man.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She was a pure goddess,
untouched by the desires of the flesh, and she would stay that way. Not even
Evangelos could change who she was or her nature.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He stopped a foot away, the heat
from his virile body reaching out to her, coaxing her to come closer. “I want
you to teach me to hunt.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Steeling her spine, she narrowed
her gaze at him. “You can already hunt.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Not like you. I want you to
show me your way.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Why?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He took a step nearer. She
desperately wanted to move away, but giving up ground would be a sign of
weakness. “Does the reason matter?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">No, it didn't matter. She
couldn't care less why he wanted her to teach him. “What do you offer me in
return?” He had to know asking a boon of her meant she’d require some sort of
payment in exchange. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One corner of his mouth lifted,
drawing her attention to his full lips. What was wrong with her? She must be
ill. It was the only reasonable explanation for her reaction to him. When he
spoke, his tone softened, almost to a whisper. “I offer my services to you
during the time it takes you to teach me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Suspicion crawled up her spine.
“What services?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He closed the distance between
them until only a breath separated them. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Anything you wish, my goddess.”</span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She was fully unprepared for
what happened next. When his soft lips brushed hers, every nerve in her body
lit up as if charged by lightning. For a moment she allowed his testing caress,
but when he wrapped an arm around her waist, she broke the kiss and slapped
him. The sound of the strike echoed off the trees as his head whipped to the
side, thunder to emphasize the storm he’d awakened with his touch.</span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="LiaWrites" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Do
that again and I’ll kill you,” she warned.</span></span></div>

She must find a sexy soldier and burn up the sheets in a night of scorching passion. It’s been her fantasy since forever, but what if her military man is also the man who can break her run of bad luck in the dating world? </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">As a Marine, Zane Cooper can handle intense situations. But when it comes to Suzette, and the lingering feelings she inspires, he’s in unfamiliar territory without a tactical handbook. Though his life’s compass is spinning out of control, the right direction could be closer than he thinks. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Drawn together by lust and pulled apart by assumptions, can they work together to complete their mission for love?</span></span></div>

Jocelyn Miller is wanted for crimes she committed before she was born. Homeless, blind, and out in the elements on one of the coldest nights of the year, her desperation results in a bad decision. When Jocelyn and her brother Nate rob a convenience store, Jocelyn comes face to face with her worst nightmare and greatest love, a reaper named Gabriel. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Gabriel Solaris is an Enforcer, a genetically enhanced psychic often referred to as a reaper for his ability to take souls, and he’s charged with collecting Jocelyn’s. When he finds Jocelyn outside the store, he’s sure she’s up to something illegal. Proving it isn’t necessary. He holds a warrant and it’s all he needs. But the closer Gabriel gets to Jocelyn, the more he begins to question his duty and why he believes her claims of innocence. When Jocelyn tells him she loved him once, Gabriel loses control and kisses her. Instead of taking her soul, he gives her a week to prove innocence in her past-life crimes—something he has no authority to</span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> grant. </span></span><br />

theft? Tedious, but seamless – until small town museum director Kara Daniels

<b><i><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Planning a heist<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our latest release, <i>The Heist,</i> got its start on a rainy
Monday a while back, when hubs and I attended a behind-the-scenes tour at our
small Iowa town’s exquisite art museum. A new exhibit was about to open, and we
were treated to detailed descriptions of the process of locating and ordering
traveling exhibits, shipping them, storing them, uncrating them, hanging them,
insuring their safety, and repacking them. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You must know by now
that hubs is a criminologist by
profession. It didn’t take us long to be looking for vulnerable spots in the
museum’s process, and by the end of the day, with a little internet research on
the high stakes world of stolen paintings, we had our basic plot sketched out. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our next problem
was—what painting should be stolen? Clearly, we couldn’t go with an existing
well-known piece of art. We opted to create <i>The
Three Maids,</i> an entirely fictional trio of medium sized Impressionist
portraits, based on what we knew about Monet, Manet, Renoir, Caillebotte, and
the women they painted. We’ve put so much detail into the paintings’
descriptions that I keep expecting to see them when I enter an Impressionist
display. If no one has painted them yet, I definitely think someone should!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I’ll leave the details
of how the actual heist was planned, carried out, and (we hope) foiled for
readers to discover—we hope you enjoy reading <i>The Heist</i> as much as we enjoyed creating it!</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Ashlynn Blake, minor goddess of the hunt—lethal, beautiful, and able to connect with animals on a psychic level—is the perfect person to place judgment upon an accused dragon. But first she has to prove to the gods that Ty Sullivan is innocent of his crimes. If she fails, she’s doomed to lose her heart along with him forever. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Ty’s been beaten, scarred, and betrayed by females. He doesn’t trust them, can’t stand being around them for longer than he or his dragon needs to be. Yet, when he meets Ashlynn, his dragon is ready to mate, but the man believes she’s no different than the others. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">The Fates have thrown them together, forcing secrets to be told and igniting a passion so fierce it may destroy both of them.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><u style="font-size: x-large;">Review:</u><span style="font-size: large;"> </span>Another thrilling adventure and tale of the heart ffrom Ms. Davis! Ty and Ash were utterly perfect together, their attitudes and stead fast loyalty to those they love making them stronger.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"> What really intrigued my from the get go in this book was how Ash was going to prove Ty's innocence for the crime that he was being accused of...Hmmm...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I have to say I definitely did NOT expect the little twist that was thrown in the story, nor did I expect the other tid bits Ms. Davis through into the mix. Believe me you won't see those coming when you read this story. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I can't wait to read more of this series by Ms. Davis! (of course I'm partial to the whole changing into dragons part ^_^ ) </span></span><br />

With his best friend out of town, trouble seems like the best option and it comes in the form of his building's newest temporary resident, a gorgeous fireman named Kevin.<br /><br />Fen's been attracted to men before, but this is the first time he's considered acting on it. And act he does.<br /><br />Fen and Kevin have an intense summer fling. Just in time for Kevin to go home, more feelings develop than Fen can ignore, but they don't stop Kevin from leaving. Once Kevin's gone, Fen can't stop thinking about him. That's when reality sets in and Fen faces the difficulties of distance and fidelity, while Kevin balks at Fen's reluctance to tell his friends and family. They just need to find a way to make their magic more practical.</span></div>

And Fen wasn’t usually one to react to things strongly, but damn if that chuckle didn’t send a whole flock of shivers flying up his spine.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 27.4px;">

Hell, he’d been at the pool most days that week and in the building for over two years. He’d know if he’d heard a voice like that before. Especially with the way his body seemed to react to it.</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 27.4px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Fen blinked at the hand that seemed to materialize out of nowhere right in front of his chest, which was still mournfully pale and freckling more than tanning. “I’m Kevin. Just moved into the building a few days ago.”</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 27.4px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>So he is new. Summer just got a bit more interesting.</i> Fen checked himself. <i>Wait, why did I think that?</i></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 27.4px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He grasped Kevin’s big, long-fingered hand with his, a bit cautiously. “Fenton, but everyone calls me Fen.”</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 27.4px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There were the shivers again. What the hell? He had to see this guy. But wait. That meant…. Fen wanted to groan.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 27.4px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The combination of the over-chlorinated pool and his contacts had made his eyes itch, so he’d simply slung his nerdy glasses on when he’d left for the pool earlier. Now he had to put them back on or else he’d stay in Blind City. But first he had to find the damn things. Fen swept his hands along the ground until he found his glasses. He shoved them on his face and stood so he wasn’t looking up at Mister Shivers from his back. Of course when he stood, it was on his tube of sunscreen, which then proceeded to squirt all over his other leg. He </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><i>screamed</i></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> and jumped like a little girl, and then wished he could disappear into the pool and never return.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 27.4px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kevin chuckled. “You okay?”</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 27.4px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Other than being terminally awkward? Yes, I’m fine.” Fen wiped desperately at the thick spooge of lotion that had made its way all up the inside of his thigh and under his shorts. What a fantastic first impression he made.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 27.4px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“I like your glasses. They make you look smart.”</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 27.4px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Fen decided the guy must be fucking with him. He looked up and just about choked. <i>And they make you look like…. Dammmmnnnn.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 27.4px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Earlier shivers be damned. His whole body melted when Fen finally got a good long look at this not-so-mysterious new guy. Yeah. Damn was pretty much the only word his brain had room for. Tall, at least compared to Fen, with dark brown hair that curled up at the ends, big brown eyes, gorgeous smile, golden tanned skin, and his body… <i>fuck</i>. He looked young, probably not much out of the jailbait range, but Fen had to stop himself from drooling visibly. He was already drooling like a damn St. Bernard inside.</span></span></div>

He’d noticed… and maybe got a warm, melty feeling in his belly a time or two. But he’d never done anything about it. He didn’t know why. He just hadn’t. And he was twenty-nine, not a kid anymore, and there was this seriously fucking hot guy standing there, and… was he flirting? Fen didn’t even know. But for the first time ever his body really, </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><i>really</i></span><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1405443735004_4210" style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> wanted to know.

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kevin just shrugged and dropped into the seat next to Fen’s.

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Thanks. I’m okay though,” Kevin said shyly.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Casey's Warriors ~ Ann Mayburn</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1403580356111_3545" style="background-color: white; display: inline; float: none;">Adar has searched more than a lifetime to find his bondmate—the one woman he was born to love and the only woman who can save him from the approaching madness that threatens all unbonded males of his race. When a wormhole opens from his galaxy to Earth and the women who could hold their future, Lorn will do all in his power to not only find his mate, but show her a Universe she never knew existed.<span class="yiv4199839071Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1403580356111_3543" style="background-color: white; display: inline; float: none;">Casey Westfall’s normal life changed forever when she finds the sexy leather clad man on her doorstep. One innocent kiss leads to an adventure that will span worlds and Casey will have to choose between the man who is the other half of her soul and never seeing her family or her world again. To complicate matters Kadothians live in polyamerous family units and Lorn will have to convince his Earth bride to accept not only his love, but the love of his best friend and brothers in arms or risk the chance of losing them to either the madness or the Hive—the race of sociopathic women bent on destroying and enslaving everything in their path, but Casey can’t see loving more than one man as being anything other than a sin. Lorn will have to teach his bride that she was created for both of them just as they were created only for her.<span class="yiv4199839071Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1403580356111_3551" style="background-color: white; display: inline; float: none;">In a Universe where all is possible, the battle to protect not only his people, but his heart rests on the soul of a human woman who must face the unknown and take a leap of faith that could save or destroy them all.</span></span><br />

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1403580356111_3536" style="background-color: white;">
</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1403580356111_3538" style="background-color: white;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1403580356111_3537" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ann is Queen of the Castle to her wonderful husband and three sons in the mountains of West Virginia. In her past lives she's been an Import Broker, a Communications Specialist, a US Navy Civilian Contractor, a Bartender/Waitress, and an actor at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. She also spent a summer touring with the Grateful Dead-though she will deny to her children that it ever happened.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1403580356111_3532" style="background-color: white;">
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1403580356111_3534" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1403580356111_3533" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">From a young age she's been fascinated by myths and fairytales, and the romance that often was the center of the story. As Ann grew older and her hormones kicked in, she discovered trashy romance novels. Great at first, but she soon grew tired of the endless stories with a big wonderful emotional buildup to really short and crappy sex. Never a big fan of purple prose, throbbing spears of fleshy pleasure and wet honey pots make her giggle, she sought out books that gave the sex scenes in the story just as much detail and plot as everything else-without using cringe worthy euphemisms. This led her to the wonderful world of Erotic Romance, and she's never looked back.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1403580356111_3531" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1403580356111_3535" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now Ann spends her days trying to tune out cartoons playing in the background to get into her 'sexy space' and has learned to type one handed while soothing a cranky baby.</span></div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1403580356111_3576" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Excerpt #1 Nice ;)</b></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1403580356111_3576" style="background-color: white;">
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When her gaze strayed
down his face to his exposed chest her arousal deepened, making him desperate
to seduce her. Throttling back his lust was difficult, but he had to take
things slowly with his little Earth woman. Mary, Matriarch of the Scout who had
spoken before the council, had lectured the Warriors going to Earth on how to
seduce human women. She’d urged them to take things as slow as they could, not
to rush it for fear of scaring away their bride. If they proclaimed their
undying love for a woman the moment they met her, an Earth female would
consider them mentally deficient, no matter how true it was.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“You have the softest
skin,” he said in a voice barely above a growl. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She blinked up at him and
her scent cooled a touch. “Um, thanks.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With that, she stepped
away from him, and he tried to figure out why complimenting her would repulse
rather than attract. Did the women of this planet not enjoy hearing how they
affected a man? Did they not want their mate to appreciate them? He needed to
get her mind back on her attraction to him. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Gently clasping her hand
he pulled it down his cheek, over his neck, and to his chest, letting it rest
over the heart that now belonged to her. “See, my skin is much tougher than
yours.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She stared at where her
small hand rested above his heart and he looked down as well, enjoying the
contrast of her creamy skin against his own dark bronze tone. “Do you get spray
tanned?”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The immediate flush that
went from her neck to her hairline made him grin. “What is that?”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“I’m not sure what the
word would be in your language. It’s like a thing people do to make their skin
darker.” She glanced up into his eyes then back to her palm on his chest again.
“Usually you only find your hair and eye color on really pale people.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">His little bride was far
too observant. “This is the way I was born, Casey. No artificial enhancements.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well that wasn’t entirely
true. He had plenty of enhancements that heightened his sight, his hearing, his
strength, and his endurance. All things a Warrior needed to survive. There were
also small crystal chips embedded in his brain that allowed him to boost his
psychic powers and connect with his men over long distances. Right now he was
in contact with his friend Cormac who waited near Casey’s house in case he was
needed. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She bit her pretty pink
lower lip when he began to gently caress her hand. “Wow, you sure lucked out in
the genetic lottery.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It took him a moment to
process her words and he smiled. “You find me attractive?”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Her response came out in
a whisper. “Very.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Both his pride and his
cock hardened further at her response, the ultra-sensitive nerves of the
pleasure ridges swelling along his shaft. “I find you very attractive as well.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Once again she seemed to
find his compliment offensive and tried to pull her hand away from his chest.
“Don’t bullshit me.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Utterly baffled he stared
down at her. “Why would I make a bull shit on you?”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She gaped up at him, then
giggled. “Sorry, it’s a slang saying in America. It means don’t lie to me.” </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He dropped to his knees,
their height difference putting her only slightly taller than him. He wanted to
look her in the eyes, begging her to see his sincerity even if she couldn’t
feel it. The darkness of her gaze grew and at this level the perfume of her
nectar was even stronger, making him tremble slightly with the roaring need to
bury his face between her thighs and tongue her to her release. The generous
pillows of her breasts called to him and he marveled that someone so small had
such abundance. Even though his conscious mind knew she wasn’t in heat, his
body demanded he take her, now, that he satisfy her every need. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Casey, I will never lie
to you.” He inwardly flinched at the thought that he was lying to her right now
about who he was, but he pressed on. “You are beautiful. Where I come from men
would fight to the death for the honor of your smile.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She let out a slow
breath, the scent of a healthy, fertile female filling him like the first rain
over the desert of Valdoon. “Where the hell are you from?”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Someplace far away.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“No shit. Wherever it is,
I know about a million women that would like to go there for vacation.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The irony of her
statement wasn’t lost on him, and he smiled, enjoying the way her gaze kept
straying to his mouth. Moving slowly, he placed his hands on her hips,
resisting the urge to squeeze. Mary had said Earth women were self-conscious of
their natural softness, that having body fat was considered unattractive and
how they wouldn’t understand a Kadothian male’s intense pleasure at grasping
them where they are the most feminine. Like Casey’s beautiful rounded belly and
generous thighs. Just the thought of her lying on his chest, nestling his cock
against her giving flesh, had him fighting with everything he had not to rush
her.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She tilted her head to
the side and examined him. “You have the strangest eyes.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“What do you mean?”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“They…kind of change
color. I mean, I know that eye color can change depending on the lighting and
the clothes you wear, but yours…” She reached out and touched his face again,
filling him with elation, “they go from aquamarine to an almost navy blue.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He turned his head
slightly and brushed his lips over the tender skin of her forearm. Her response
was an immediate and maddening rush of desire. For the briefest of moments the
psychic shields around her softened and he read the desire, confusion, doubt,
and hope spinning through her. Wanting to heighten her arousal, he removed one
hand from her hip and grasped her arm, moving her hand so he could gently
nibble on her inner wrist. While she was unaware of the significance of the act
he rejoiced that his bride offered such a vulnerable part of her body to him so
freely.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“What are you doing?” she
asked in a whisper-soft voice.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Tasting you.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Why?”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Because you are
delicious.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Oh.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After a few moments of
caressing her skin with his tongue and teeth she made a soft moaning noise.
Worried he’d hurt her, he looked up and found her watching him with half-closed
eyes, giving him a look so damned arousing that he had to choke back a growl.
Human males didn’t growl and they certainly didn’t howl their joy at claiming
their bride.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Unable to fight off his
primal urges any longer, he looked up at her. “Kiss me, Casey.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The dart of her tongue
wetting her lips had his erection pressing against his pants. She began to lean
down slowly and he bit the inside of his lip, allowing his blood to flow and
fill his mouth. Only a drop or two was needed to start the hormonal chain
reaction, but he wanted to do everything he could to connect Casey to him
because his soul already belonged to her. Bonding ceremony or not, this young
Earth female was his Matriarch.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She hesitated right
before their lips met, close enough that they inhaled and exhaled each other’s
air.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Desperate at the thought
she might reject him, he did the unthinkable for a Warrior. He begged her.
“Please, Casey, please kiss me.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A moment later their lips
met and elation filled him. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Soft, giving, gentle, her
lips explored his as he kissed her back, not seeking entrance yet, determined
to give her the kind of kiss that she deserved. Their noses rubbed together as
she changed the angle of her mouth, the sweet scent of her desire enveloping
him and making his whole body tense with need. He wanted to devour her, to
taste every part of her flesh, to make her climax until she fell into an
exhausted sleep, but those were later stages in the courting ritual. Right now
he lost himself in the glory of her maddeningly hesitant touch.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With a soft moan she parted
her lips for him and he took advantage of her surrender with a growl he
couldn’t stop. She tensed but before she could pull away he stroked his tongue
against hers, sharing his blood with her, marking her as belonging to him. Soon
her scent would change, merging with his so every male knew she had been
claimed as his bride, his beautiful Casey Westfall, soon to be Matriarch of
House Westfall and his alyah, his beloved and the future bride of his blood
brother, the Lord of Life willing.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The sensation of her
fingers stroking through his hair as they kissed sent pleasure spinning through
his nervous system until he had her clasped against him as tightly as he could,
her large and tempting breasts pressing into him and driving his desire higher
until it was an inferno of need. She tasted so damn good, like the essence of
joy, and he finally understood why Kadothian males considered finding their
bondmate life’s ultimate pleasure. He’d listened to their tales, had been
taught what would happen, but nothing had prepared him for this. Soon she was
tugging on his hair and kissing him harder, rubbing her body against his in a
silent plea for him to ease her need as her nectar spilled from her sweet body.
</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He wanted to take her,
over and over again, but if he did he would lose his chance to bring her back
with him, to have a full bonding witnessed by his people. Once she fully
transformed he could plunge his shaft into her willing body, but until then he
would have to be satisfied with this one stolen moment. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tongues stroking
together, they kissed for what seemed like a lifetime, tasting each other and
burning hotter until Lorn was desperate to mate her.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tearing his mouth from
hers, he leapt to his feet and tried to put some distance between them, afraid
he would soon be unable to control the primal need to make her his in all ways.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Her shocked gasp alerted
him to the fact that he’d moved faster than an Earthling could even as he
struggled to keep from hauling her decadent body against his. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Forgive me, Casey.” He
quickly sent a message to Cormac on a mental link to come get him, now. “If I
keep kissing you, tasting your need, smelling your sweet pussy all wet and
waiting for my mouth I will not be able to control myself. I will tear your
clothes from your body like an animal and lick every drop of nectar from your
body until you scream my name.”</span></div>

<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lorn didn’t even try to hide
the hard rush of lust that filled him at the thought of making love to Nast
with their alyah watching. His wife had no idea what she was in for, but he
couldn’t wait to show her the reason why none of them would ever feel jealous.
But first they had to get her to relax and lower her shields all the way so she
could fully immerse herself in the moment.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Looking up at Lorn, Nast
smiled and a delicious wave of arousal came from Casey. “Let us get her
comfortable.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Together they helped
Casey move up and she jerked at her restraints. “Come on, guys, untie me.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“No,” Lorn said and
rubbed his lips over the swell of her breast with the bondmark. “You have no
self-control when it comes to pleasure, alyah, and while I love it, we get to
torture you a little for scaring us.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She huffed at them, but a
smile played at the corners of her pink, kissable mouth. As if reading his mind
Nast leaned over and gave her a soft, tender kiss that left her pleasure-dazed
when he pulled back. Having been on the receiving end of one of Nast’s
devastatingly gentle kisses Lorn could sympathize with her stunned look.
Grabbing the bodice of her robe he swiftly tore it in two while Nast grabbed
the sleeve of her robe and ripped it. Together they shredded her clothing from
her in violent moves that had her wet and panting by the time she was naked
with her robe lying in ruins around her pale body. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lord of Life, she was
beautiful.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nast gripped his forearm
and pulled them down the bed so they were just beyond her tiny feet. With a low
growl he held his blood brother to him, enjoying the familiar perfection of the
other man’s body. They’d been together so long they knew each other’s pleasures
intimately and Lorn put that knowledge to good use, gripping the back of Nast’s
neck and drawing him in for a punishing kiss. Fire streaked through their bond
from Casey and he silently rejoiced she wasn’t upset about their touching. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pleasure built hot and
fierce in his blood and he slipped his hand beneath the loose band of Nast’s
pants, curving his palm around the other man’s hard cock, milking some of that
precum which Casey seemed to like so much. Lifting his fingers, now coated with
lilac precum, Lorn held his hand to Nast and together they began to lick his
fingers clean, their tongues twining and their growls blending together. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Having Casey here
watching them had to be one of the most erotic acts of Lorn’s life.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Holy shit, that’s hot,”
their little bride whimpered from where she was propped up at the head of the
bed. “I’m going to come from just watching you kiss.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Satisfaction flowed
through Nast, matching Lorn’s pride in pleasing their woman. And she was their
woman; it was as plain as the moons in the sky, as true as his love. They were
meant to be together and his wife was finally beginning to accept that. The
more the men kissed the more her soul opened to Nast until it almost felt as if
the other man was already bonded to them. Lorn rejoiced in the sensation of
finally almost being completely linked to his blood brother like he’d yearned
to be all these years. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nast grabbed Lorn’s ass
and pressed their still covered cocks together as they kissed, grinding against
each other while Casey began to moan softly.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“I can feel you,” she
marveled. “Both of you. Like you’re touching me.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pressing his lips up
against Lorn’s ear, Nast whispered, “I want you to take me, then I want Casey.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The thought of Nast
moving over Casey, covering her small frame with his as he worked his cock into
her had Lorn close to spilling in his pants. He pulled back with a ragged gasp,
straining for control that was quickly stripped away by the sight of Casey
rubbing her legs together and squeezing her lush thighs trying to ease the ache
of her very wet sex.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“What a pretty pussy,”
Nast murmured. “I cannot wait to get my tongue into it.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Please,” Casey begged as
she strained against her bonds. “Eat me, lick me, make me come, Nast, please.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Oh, I will alyah, after
I take care of your husband.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Both men stiffened as
Casey’s lust overwhelmed them. It was so strong Lorn had to close his bond the
slightest bit before his wife took away all his control. A fine tremor ran
through Nast and the need to fuck his blood brother filled Lorn with a
vengeance.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Hands and knees,” Lorn
said in a voice barely above an inhuman growl.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nast, of course, resisted
and the men wrestled on the bed. Soon Lorn had Nast pinned and moved enough so
Casey could watch him spit down the crack of his blood brother’s ass. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“You’re so fucking
dirty,” she whispered. “I love it.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He gave her a feral grin,
flashing his fangs before planting a hand on Nast’s lower back and dipping his
head down to kiss along the hard curve of the other man’s buttock. Nast arched
with a low moan and Lorn quickly rewarded him by teasing the sensitive rim of
his anus, pausing to wet two of his fingers before he slid them into the
welcoming heat of his future husband’s body. The feeling of that tight, firm
entrance clasping around his fingers was enough to have Lorn finger-fucking the
other man fast and hard, eager to open his body enough to accept him.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Take me,” Nast groaned
and got onto his hands and knees, the heavy muscles of his back and shoulders
flexing as he looked over at Casey.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She stared back at Nast
with a dazed expression and love wove into her lust, throwing them all higher
until Lorn was fumbling with the drawstring of his pants before shoving them
down enough to free his aching cock. Lorn groaned with the sensation of the
cool air on his oversensitive flesh, a sound quickly echoed by his wife and
lover. Spreading open the crack of Nast’s ass with one hand, he spit into his
other hand and smeared the lubrication over his cock. Once he was positioned at
the entrance to his blood brother’s body he looked over at Casey and began to
sink in.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With wide eyes she
watched avidly at where the men’s bodies joined and spread her legs. The sight
of her flushed, wet sex made his mouth water and Nast growled like a beast
beneath him. She was so aroused her sex contracted as she unconsciously raised
her hips as if she was the one receiving his cock, and in a way she was. As
connected to them as she was now she was feeling an edge of the sensations
filling both men. The burn of being stretched along with the hard pleasure of
pushing a cock into willing, hot flesh. It was so good he had to close his eyes
as he eased into his lover until their balls brushed each other.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A hard shudder worked
through Nast and he whispered, “Have to close myself off. Need to last. Need to
come in her.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lorn completely understood
and while he mourned the loss of Nast’s emotions it allowed him to concentrate
fully on Casey. He let out a snarl as she silently urged him to move with a
jerk of her hips. All finesse left him as he drowned in their mutual need, her
desires building his own until he felt almost like he was in rut, eager to fuck
until he couldn’t fuck anymore. Moving with harsh thrusts of his hips he
pounded into Nast, certain of his blood brother’s ability to take him. Nast
responded by squeezing with his inner muscles, gripping Lorn’s shaft as tight
as a fist. His heart filled with love and he opened his eyes again, looking to
Casey, needing to see her pleasure.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She was watching him and
wiggling on the bed, her magnificent breasts topped with hard little nipples
trembling with her shaky breaths. When their eyes met her love overwhelmed him
and he threw his head back, feeling overwhelmed from the pleasure blasting
through him. Nast fucked him back, meeting his thrusts until the sound of their
flesh slapping together mingled with the low growls spilling from them both.
His climax threatened and he fought it, working to prolong this intense
pleasure.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Please, Lorn,” Casey
screamed. “Please come. Oh God, I can’t stand it.”</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span></o:p></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With a roar spilling out
of him he did as his wife begged, the first hard blast of his semen coinciding
with a shockwave through his bond with his alyah, followed by the warm pleasure
of her own orgasm. Her moans drove him crazy as he continued to press himself
into Nast, leaning forward so he could hug the other man, to tell him without
words how much he loved him, how much he loved them both. When his orgasm
stilled at last he pulled gently out of his lover and gave his ass a smack
before rolling off the bed on unsteady feet.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><u style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">Review</u> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> A whole new world, a new race to learn about and love! Woot! Sign me up for the reaping ship please! ^_^ </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Casey's world is torn upside down by 'The Event', her sister is called back from leave due to martial law being insituted, and who cares about college now, right? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Meanwhile on a planet light years away, Kadothia, the High Council has discovered that Earth females are compatiable with the men of Kadothia, but can they risk sending them through when the wormhole is likely to close.... Do they dare not send them and risk losing more to the madness that overwhelms them when they are unable to find their Matriarch? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Against all odds they decide to go for it....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Meanwhile a couple of months have gone by and life is pretty much back to 'normal' after 'The Event' and Casey is working at a small grocery when in walks a tall hunk of man (Lorn) her hormones sky rocket, and she can barely form a coherent thought. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> What follows after that is definitely worth a re-read a few times, maybe more ^_^ Oh and don't forget your batteries girls, lol! This book is extremely SCORCHING HOTT!!! Ann has created yet another fabulous series and world that I can't say enough good things about, the characters are seriously hot, sexy and oh man do I wish they existed in real life, lol! What's more she also adds in elements that you could so see happening in todays' world, like the martial law being instituted,...man when I read that in the chapter preview she had on her webpage my mind went NEED TO READ!!!! It grabbed me from the word Go! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I absolutely cannot wait to read the next in this series, and to answer the Awesome Domina's question (which book do I want to see next....)I'd have to say Paige and Commander Trenzant, I think their story is going to be a real tissue grabber, not too mention battery operated as well. Lol. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Living her life as a reclusive computer programmer, Sorscha never expected much out of life. That was until the man who had not only ignored her for her whole life—but was hired as her bodyguard—suddenly shifts into a huge, hulking—bear.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Watching over Sorscha has been a pain, right in Tethur’s big, fat—well , you get the point. Suddenly Sorscha’s life is threatened, their deep mutual sexual attraction is exposed, and Tethur reveals he’s a shape-shifting hunk from a world right out of one of Sorscha’s favorite movies.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The unlikely pair are thrust into a world of fantasy, sexual hunger, and mysterious powers. Join Sorscha as she discovers that she is not quite the nobody she thought she was, and after years of trying to get in the Grumpy ole’ bear’s pants—she is going to have to start ‘<i>trying’</i> to keep him out of hers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><u><i><br /></i></u></b></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tethur didn’t look like a bear now, although his eyes had that deep
glowing hue to them. The heat of rage radiated off him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Do you have any fucking idea what I thought when I went to our room
and saw not only the lock shattered, but you missing?” he snarled at her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">His voice and aggression was so fierce his hot breath fluttered her
hair around her face. Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, she stormed
around him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“You can’t just lock me up like a doll, Tethur. You spent my whole
life caging me, I realized today. No more. I have powers, I’m strong. I can do
stuff on my own, you know,” she fired back.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“I can lock you anywhere I wish. That is my right as your guardian and
mate,” he roared.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">His huge arm locked around her upper arms and she was spun around. A
squeal leaked from her lips as she was pinned against the wall. She heard the
ice splinter.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A sharp whistle sounded, and she looked over at Cassandra just before
Tethur’s large bicep blocked her path. He caged her in with both his huge,
bulging arms. Arousal consumed her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hmm, who would have thought?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sorscha’s chest rose and fell, her heartbeat kicked up a notch and she
met his fierce, predatory gaze with her own look of defiance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Dear Goddess, thank you for gifting me with a horny elf and not a
bear.” Cassandra tossed the couple a wink and disappeared back outside.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“No, wait…” Sorscha protested.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The deep rumble that came from Tethur’s chest drew her gaze back to
him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“You’re being unreasonable,” she whispered.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tethur leaned in closer. His nose brushed against hers. The hair that
covered his cheek and jaw brushed over the tender flesh of her cheek, and she
shivered.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Unreasonable? So that is what you call keeping you alive?” he
rumbled.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“I call caging me unreasonable,” she whispered.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Turning her head to the side, feeling the hot breath spilling over her
cheek, she squealed and ducked out from under him. Trying to run, she heard the
roar and the sound of rending fabric, and froze.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He had shifted.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sorscha’s eyelids fluttered shut and she braced for impact. Tethur was
shockingly gentle with how, as a bear, he threw her over his shoulder and moved
up the stairs with the grace of any animal in the wild. He dropped her to her
feet at the foot of the bed. Before her eyes he shifted. His fur slid back into
his skin, his muzzle melted into the handsome man she had known her whole life.
Those glowing eyes gazed at her as if she were a feast laid out just for him.
But it wasn’t just his face, oh no, she could see him all, including the huge
club he called a cock standing proud and reaching to his belly button. Her
mouth went dry and she fought to drag her eyes back up to his.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They were both breathing hard. They looked at one another, and
Tethur’s steps ate up the space between them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Strip,” he growled.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She could feel her eyes go wide. Her words gone, lost, as he looked
down at her, his gaze burning through her clothes. She took a step back and he
matched it, keeping his bare chest pressed against her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“No!” she said with much more fire than she felt.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Yes, but you will,” he rumbled back at her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The confidence in his voice shattered her independence. She would not
give into him, she couldn’t. Tethur would understand that she was equal to him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Little bird,” he warned. “If you don’t do it, then I will, and I’m
not in control.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sorscha shook her head, attempting to clear her thoughts. It was hard
when every nerve ending responded to him. His voice, his scent, his breath,
dear God, she was drawn to him like a moth to a flame and her body fucking
burned for him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Moving back, feeling as if he had left her with no escape, her next
words were stuttered out again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Look, just because I was swoony over you in high school doesn’t mean
I will let you, just, well…” she paused.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Should I say fuck me? Because I
kind of want him to fuck me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“So you call smelling like heaven and honey twenty-four seven, and
pushing every button I have day and night…swoony?” he growled.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She gulped as he prowled closer and she retreated. The chase, small as
it was, excited her. Feeling her body get warm as sweat beaded onto her flesh,
the cool air brushed against her and she realized they were outside, on the
balcony.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Trapped like a…bird.</span></div>
