New York Times bestselling authors Lauren Hawkeye and Suzanne Rock’s STOLEN BY THE SHEIKH is available now! Get swept away in Liv and Nayo’s story.

Stolen by the SheikhAbout STOLEN BY THE SHEIKH

Fast-talking career woman Olivia Bremer is at the peak of her profession. Employed by one of the country’s most influential magazines, she spends her days dining with celebs and taking her pick of free products from designers and cosmetic companies. Every woman’s dream job, basically. So what if it’s a little lonely at the top. Success often comes at a price, right?

Nayef “Nayo” Darzi is used to getting his way. The wealthy prince can have any beauty he wants—until danger throws him together with a stubborn American, perhaps the first woman unaffected by his alpha tendencies. Tattooed and contentious women aren’t his thing—normally. But there’s something about Olivia and her sexy curves that makes Nayo want to take a big bit. If he can keep her out of trouble long enough…

Get a sneak peek of STOLEN BY THE SHEIKH:

“I apologize. I never meant to offend. It’s just, where I come from, women are meant to be provided for.” Nayo reached up and tucked a stray strand of her long red hair behind her ear. “And a woman as beautiful as you would have many suitors lined up for the job.” Her body betrayed her, reacting to that one simple touch in ways most men couldn’t elicit with their best efforts. Jesus. What was wrong with her? She should be telling this ass-backwards man where he could shove it, yet instead she was quivering at his touch. She needed to get out of there and get her head on straight, fast.

“Um. Thanks?” Listen, I’m already running late for my meeting, and I still need to clean myself up. Carrie will have a fit if I show up looking like this.”

She started to turn to walk away, but Nayo’s intense stare held her in place. He took in every inch of her from top to toes, and back up again. His eyes burned a trail of heat on her body as if his hands touched everywhere he looked. Finally his gaze stopped, lingering on the first green stain she acquired on her chest and to her own surprise, she found herself leaning forward ever so slightly to give him a better view.

“I think you look perfect,” he said. Stepping in close, Nayo reached his hand up to her face and slowly rubbed his thumb along her jaw. “Except for maybe this.”

“What are you…” Before she could finish, Nayo placed his thumb to his mouth and licked off the green smoothie that was there. A low growl escaped his lips. “Delicious.”

She felt heat rush her cheeks, flushing them a deep crimson. She couldn’t tell if it was from embarrassment or the sight of him licking his thumb, but it was probably a bit of both.

“I…uh..” Liv stammered over her words, lowering her head in hopes he wouldn’t notice how much he had affected her with his words, his actions. Fat chance though, it would be hard to miss the red in her cheeks, as her fair skin provided a great contrast.

Nayo leaned in close, breathing his next words into her ear “I’d love to taste more.” Her whole body shivered and Liv snapped her gaze up to meet his. She slowly tilted her drink toward him, offering it up without a second thought.

“I wasn’t talking about the drink.” Heat coursed through her body at his words. Her breath hitched in her throat as Nayo closed what little distance was left between them. Images of biting that luscious lower lip of his flooded her mind as Liv parted her own in invitation… Ding! Ding Ding Ding! “Oh, for fuck’s sake” Liv muttered under her breath, her boss’s incessant text messaging effectively ruining the moment. And she knew it had to be her boss. No one else would send her that many messages in a row.

 

About Lauren Hawkeye

Lauren Hawkeye/ Lauren Jameson never imagined that she’d wind up telling stories for a living… though when she looks back, it’s easy to see that she’s the only one who is surprised. Always “the kid who read all the time”, Lauren made up stories about her favorite characters once she’d finished a book… and once spent an entire year narrating her own life internally. No, really. But where she was just plain odd before publication, now she can at least claim to have an artistic temperament.

Lauren lives in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada with her husband, toddler, pit bull and idiot cat, though they do not live in an igloo, nor do they drive a dogsled. In her nonexistent spare time Lauren can be found knitting (her husband claims that her snobby yarn collection is exorbitant), reading anything she can get her hands on, or sweating her way through spin class. She loves to hear from her readers!

5+StarScope

OMG… this book came as a complete surprise!  It was intensely riveting!  I could not put this book down and consumed it in one sitting!  It’s deliciously dark, frighteningly dangerous, and insanely erotic. This fast paced, action packed conspiracy novel will leave you with goose bumps and chills up your spine. It will make you think twice about one night stands.  It will make you think about every breath you take.

It wasn’t Paisley Warren’s first one night stand but ended up being her last.  After meeting  Simon in a bar at her work end of the year party, a delightful hook up seemed to be the pick me up she needed in her lonely life.  She awoke the next morning a bit tired but completely rejuvenated from her sexual tryst.  She should of called in sick and stayed home in bed relishing in the previous night’s sexcapades.  Instead she made the second fatal mistake in a 24 hour period, she went to work.

Working as a lab technician at the Hamilton County Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is an interesting job.  She has seen it all until the latest John Doe crosses their doors.  His circumstances of death and condition of his corpse lead to further investigation.  Paisley discovers an unusual condition in his blood.  Just as she is re-evaluating her findings, all hell breaks loose in the lab.  Her co-workers are brutally murdered right before her eyes.  She is taken hostage and forced to show the killer the mysterious John Doe.  It is her death sentence.  Her captor is none other than Simon,the one night stand from the night before.  Now he is her executioner.  Her only bargaining tool is the findings from the lab results she ran on the mysterious John Doe.  She will do anything to stay alive and she is going to hold onto her information as long as she can.

Her captor is not the ordinary man she thought he was.  His name is not Simon.  He is a trained killer that goes by the name SIX.  He is definitely going to kill her, the only question is when.

SIX is a ruthless killer involved in conspiracy, espionage, government secrets, and contract murders.  There is nothing redeemable or good within his being.  He’s gone rogue and is on a mission to find out who is behind the assassinations of the other agents in his inner circle.  One is already dead, there has been an attempt on his life, and several of the nine killers have gone to ground.  Paisley is the only person that may have a bit of information on how these agents are being disposed of.  He will get the information and then he will kill her.

SIX is on a hunt that will take him and Lacey ( aka Paisley) from Georgia to Paris and lead them from one end of the country to the other.  He will do everything including torturing his hostage to get what he wants.  He has no conscience.  The only thing that matters is getting to the bottom of this conspiracy.

During her captivity Paisley will evolve into an entirely different person. She has to do whatever it takes to stay alive.  She hates her captor but also craves him.  He is her safety net as well as her executioner.  It is stockholm syndrome in it’s deepest form.

It’s not a happy romantic story.  It’s the story of Paisley Warren’s death.  And she will die.

K.I. Lynn wrote a powerful story.  It made Jason Bourne seem like a novice.  I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book.  The writing was perfectly executed with the right amount of intensity, dark humor, ruthless passion, and emotional passages. The fast paced action and the element of mystery added to the intrigue.  It was impossible to figure out what would happen next.

I highly recommend SIX by K.I. Lynn.

Kick Push – Book 2

By Jay McLean

b48ad-goodreads

Synopsis

***Please note: Coast is the sequel to Kick Push and must be read in order***

One life-changing summer.
One boy.
The boy.
The boy who offered me safe touches and heart-stopping smiles – smiles he shared with his son.
We filled our days with porch-step kisses,
filled our ears with laughter,
filled our hearts with love.
Deep, soul-aching, desperate love.

But love is misleading.
It’s an invisible, fleeting moment.
Somewhere between false adoration and pure hatred comes an emotion, a vulnerable need, a single desire.
It lives within the ones who miss it, who crave it,
who know better than to expect it.
Love is relentless.
Even when that love turns to hate, turns to loathing,
turns to pain.

Love should heal you.
But it can also break you.
Believe me, I know…
Because I’m Becca Owens – a broken girl…
…And he’s Josh Warden – the boy who broke me.

Michel’s Review

Spoiler Free Review

COAST is NOT A STAND ALONE NOVEL

Last summer I read Kick Push by Jay McLean.  The moment I finished this phenomenal book I was dying for the conclusion to Joshua and Becca’s story.  It about killed me to wait almost a full year before Coast released.  I can honestly say that it was worth the wait and gave Joshua and Becca the happily ever after they truly deserved.  It wasn’t an easy journey filled with flowers and sunshine.  It also wasn’t a gut wrenching journey filled with hurtful angst.  It was a journey of growth, self discovery, and forgiveness.  Over a three year period Joshua, Becca, and little Tommy are going to learn the true meaning of life, love, and acceptance.  They are going to learn that no matter what happens in the incredible journey known as life, as long as they have each other they can coast.

I don’t want to say too much more because I don’t want to give away spoilers.  It took Becca three long years to find herself, to heal enough to move on in life, and accept happiness.  Joshua also had to find his place in life.  His professional career and family commitments are colliding.  He has to make choices, shuffle his schedule, and bring Becca home.  The glue that holds all of them together is Chazarae.  She gave each of them the push they needed to learn how to coast.

Jay McLean did a phenomenal job writing this story.  She touched upon every emotion and created a story that any reader can relate to.  I highly recommend these two books.

Kick Push Series – Book 1

By Jay McLean

b48ad-goodreads

Synopsis

There’s a single defining moment within every skater.
It lasts only a second. Two if you’re good.
Three if you’re really good.
It’s the moment you’re in the air, your board somewhere
beneath you, and nothing but wind surrounds you.
It’s the feeling of being airborne.

The sixteen-year-old version of me would’ve said it was the
greatest feeling in the world.
Then at seventeen, I had my son.
And every single second became a defining moment. Even the ones that consisted of heartbreak when his mother left us.

Seventeen. Single. Dad.
That’s what my life became.
Yet, every day, I managed to find that feeling of being
airborne.
Or at least I convinced myself I did.
But I lied—to myself and to everyone around me.
Until she showed up; Tanned skin, raven dark hair, and eyes the color of emeralds.

You know what sucks about being in the air?
Coming down from the high.
Sometimes you land on the board and nail the trick.
Then kick, push, and coast away.
Other times you fall.
You fall hard.
And those are the times when it’s not as easy to get back up, dust off your pads and try again.
Especially when the girl with the emerald eyes becomes your drug…
And you become her poison.

Foolproof Love

Foolproof Love Series – Book 1

By Katee Robert

Buy: Amazon / B & N / ITunes / Kobo

07d10-goodreads

Synopsis

Bull rider Adam Meyer put Devil’s Falls in his rearview mirror years ago and hasn’t stopped running since. Now he’s back—temporarily, if he has any say about it. Restless, he finds himself kissing the sexiest girl in town…and agreeing to be the fake boyfriend in her little revenge scheme.

Jules Rodrigez isn’t interested in the role of town spinster. Being seen with a hell raiser like Adam is the perfect way to scandalize the residents, make her ex jealous, and prove she’s a sexy, desirable woman. And if their plan includes ridiculously hot sex—in public, of course—all the better.

But this thing between them has an expiration date. Putting down roots isn’t in Adam’s blood, and Jules’s roots in Devil’s Falls are bedrock deep. He’ll leave, even if it rips out his heart. But this time, he’s not sure he’ll survive it…

Tracey’s Review

*******4.5 Seriously Hot, Quirky, Cat-Loving Stars*******

Jules Rodriguez has a problem. Her ex, the one that dumped her and high-tailed it out of town right after high school graduation, is back in Devil’s Falls. Jules knows that some people think of her as the ‘on the shelf’ spinster with a penchant for cats, nursing a broken heart over the one that got away, and she is determined to put an end to that idea. How? By stirring up some scandal, and giving the townfolk, especially Grant, something to talk about. Enter one Adam Meyer, former bad boy of Devil’s Falls. Adam is more than happy to help a girl out, as long as she knows the score: he’s just back in town for a while, but he sure isn’t staying. In the meantime, though, he’ll be glad to help Jules with her plan.

Okay, I’m not going to lie. If you tell me that the heroine of a book owns a cat café, namely Cups and Kittens, I’m already all in. Add in a tall, dark, sexier-than-sin cowboy, one that’s damaged but not beyond redemption, and I’m a goner. Happily, FOOLPROOF LOVE by Katee Robert, has all of this and more, making it one of my favorite reads lately.

Katee has the gift of writing books peopled with quirky complex characters, and storylines that grab you from the first words and wrap you up completely. I didn’t know much about FOOLPROOF LOVE before I started it, but knowing that Katee had written it, there was no question that I had to read it.

I loved every single character in this book. Jules spent high school known as one half of the ‘golden couple,’ until Grant left Devil’s Falls for greener pastures. Since then, she’s done her best to move on, and she has done, for the most part. Her love of her hometown is evident in all that she does, and she is not about to have Grant, or anyone else, determine how people see her, or how she feels about herself. Adam Meyer is definitely not a ‘what you see is what you get’ kind of guy. Shaped by his father’s desertion, he couldn’t wait to leave Devil’s Falls behind, refusing to be tied down to any place or anyone. But one person that Adam would do anything for is his mother, and finding out that she’s sick has brought him back to the place that he just can’t bear to stay.

The chemistry between Jules and Adam is H.O.T., oh, my gosh, it’s crazy combustible, like, whoa, as Jules would say. The two agree to be ‘fake’ boyfriend and girlfriend, in order to kick up Jules’ scandal factor a few notches, but, well, we know how these things go. It isn’t long at all, oh, maybe one hot minute, before the ‘fake’ part evolves into something very real and not at all what either of them was expecting.

I can’t say enough how much I enjoyed FOOLPROOF LOVE. Besides two main characters that I love, Katee has populated Devil’s Falls with a whole host of other folks that I can’t wait to read about. Aubry, Quinn, Daniel, all of them have a story of their own, and I can’t wait to have them in my hot little book-loving hands. I highly recommend this book (can you tell?!), and suggest you pop it right up to the top of your TBR. Happy reading!

Excerpt

“That’s really sweet, Grant. It was great seeing you, but my boyfriend is waiting for me.”

He frowned. “Boyfriend?”

“Oh, yeah, it’s a new thing. We haven’t exactly gone public with it—you know how Devil’s Falls can be—so you wouldn’t have heard.” She gave him a pat on his arm. “It was nice seeing you. So great. Really, we’ll have to catch up sometime soon.” And then she stepped around him, dragging Aubry behind her.

“What are you doing?” Aubry whispered.

“Winging it.” She stopped by the trio of men, all too aware of Grant watching her. “Hi, Daniel. Quinn. Adam.” They raised their beers.

Daniel looked over her shoulder with a frown. “Is that your piece-of-shit ex-boyfriend I see?”

“The very one.” She disentangled her arm from Aubry’s. “Speaking of, I need a favor.”

“Anything for you, kid.”

She tried not to roll her eyes at him calling her kid. He was a whole seven years older than her. Not exactly ancient. “Actually, it’s not you I need the favor from.” Before she could talk herself out of it, she sidled up to Adam and put her arms around his neck. To his credit, he didn’t shove her on her butt in the dirt, merely raising his eyebrows. Jules kept her voice low so there was no chance of Grant overhearing. “So as you’ve noticed, my ex is watching me really closely right now, and I might have told him a tiny white lie about me dating someone in order to avoid a devastating dose of humiliation. And since I can’t date Daniel and no one would ever believe I’d date Quinn—”

The man in question frowned. “You really know how to hit a man where it hurts, Jules.”

“—that leaves you.”

Adam’s face remained impassive. “I see.”

There wasn’t a whole lot to work with in those words, but he also had let his free hand drift down to settle on her hip, so she just kept talking. “If you could just play along and maybe kiss me like you want to do filthy things to me in the bed of your truck, I’d really appreciate it.”

If anything, his eyebrows rose higher. “That guy really got under your skin, didn’t he?”

“You have no idea.” Next to them, Daniel made a sound suspiciously like a growl, but neither of them looked over. Adam’s hand pulsed on her hip, the heat of it shocking despite the warmth of the night. His calluses dragged over the sensitive skin bared by her T-shirt, and she shivered. Maybe this was a terrible idea. She didn’t have time to really reconsider, though, because he set down his beer, cupped the back of her neck, and dealt her the single most devastating kiss of her life.

No, not a kiss.

He took possession of her mouth, his tongue tracing the seam of her lips and then delving inside. He tasted of beer and something darker, something that hinted at exactly what she’d asked for—like he wanted to do filthy things to her in the bed of his truck. She closed her eyes, giving his tongue a tentative stroke, and had to fight down a moan at the way the move made her entire body go tight. More.

He lifted his head, breaking the kiss and slamming her back into the real world. She blinked up at him, all too aware of her body pressed against the entirety of his, of how he was hard in all the places she was soft, of how goddamn good he smelled. “Wow.”

There went that eyebrow again. “You think it was believable?”

Excerpt Reveal: Stripped Bare by Emma Hart

 

SBbanner

 

 

 

sbcoverWhen unlucky in love Mia O’Halloran finds herself face to Sex God V-Lines with a chiseled, hot male stripper in possession of a package not even the postal service could lose, what happens in Vegas is definitely supposed to stay in Vegas.

She doesn’t expect to find Mr. Multiple Oh-Oh-Oh as her client—and hell, how is she supposed to pitch a marketing plan when she can remember how easily he briefed her g-spot on an orgasm… or five?

West Rykman has one rule: you don’t mix business with pleasure. They can look, but unless they’re shoving a dollar inside his pants, they can’t touch. He learned that lesson the hard way two years ago.

He had no idea the flame-haired vixen with a penchant for hot, kinky sex and a mouth that would make a hooker cry would be the one to bend—and break—his rule.

She’s sworn off men after ten too many heartbreaks.

He’s determined he’ll never lose it all for a woman again.

She’s pretty screwed.

He’s really screwed.

And not in the we’re-not-sleeping-tonight way…

STRIPPED TEASER 2

 

“Hi,” I said into the phone. “What’s up?”

“Me,” he rumbled back. “I’m pretty sure I’ve been hard all fucking day.”

I swallowed. Was this phone sex? I’d never done phone sex before.

“West?”

“Yeah?”

“Are we going to have phone sex?”

He paused. “Do you want to have phone sex?”

“Are you hard?”

“I’m always hard when I think about you.”

I felt like I needed to preen a little. “I’ve never had phone sex before.”

“What kind of assholes have you been dating?”

“You really don’t want to go there. We’ll be here all night. I mean, seriously. I bore myself at this point.”

“You’re rambling. Are you drunk?”

“I wish,” I mumbled. I needed to be drunk to phone-sex, didn’t I?

Yes, I decided, blankly staring at my TV. I did. And not just any kind of drunk. I needed to be absolutely hammered.

“You didn’t answer the question, Mia,” he said softly.

Oh. Right. Did I want to. Well, I had looked at that picture several times…

“Yes. I want to.” I was officially crazy. I’d lost my mind. No doubt about it.

“Where are you right now?”

Through the phone, I heard a door shut.

“Are you in bed?” he asked.

“No.”

“Get into bed. Take your clothes off first.”

His tone was commanding and strong, and before I could think it through, I was in my room, my phone was on the bed, and I was stripping down to my underwear.

I picked the phone up and climbed in bed. “I’m in bed.”

“Good.” His voice was a little gruff. “What are you wearing?”

I bit down on my lower lip and glanced at the scarlet-red underwear set I had on. “Hold on.” I brought up the camera on my phone, kicked the sheets to the side, and took a photo of myself using the front camera. It was good enough, so I texted it to him. “Check your messages.”

He was silent for a good few seconds. Then there was, “Jesus, Mia. Fucking hell.”

“Do you…like it?”

“Like it? You look sexy as fuck. If I were with you right now, I’d rip those fucking panties off you.”

“And do what?” Look at me go.

He laughed slightly. “Kiss you,” he answered roughly, all traces of laughter from his voice gone. “I’d run my hands up your body as you wrap your legs around my waist.”

I swallowed, my clit aching as the low tone of his voice mixed with his words turned me on.

“I’d kiss down your neck and unclasp your bra so I could touch your gorgeous tits.”

My hand hovered as I contemplated doing it—and then I did it. One quick fiddle with the clasp between them and my bra cups fell to my side. My nipples were hard, and I cupped my right breast, my thumb ghosting over my nipple.

“I’d take them in my mouth. Roll my tongue over your hard nipples until you moan beneath me and beg me for more.”

My eyes closed.

“And then I’d kiss my way down your stomach to those tiny, red panties.”

My hand took on a life of its own as it followed his words. My fingertips trailed down the center of my stomach until they brushed the waistband of the red lace thong.

“Then what?” I asked.

“Then I’d peel them down your legs and, once they were off, open your legs so I could see your wet little pussy.” He exhaled. “Are you naked?”

“Yes,” I replied softly.

“I want to see you.”

“Will you send one back?”

“Yes.”

“Okay,” I whispered. Then I awkwardly took a picture.

Luckily it wasn’t blurred, and no sooner had I sent it to him than one came right back. No face, just like mine, and my eyes skipped right over the hot body to where he looked like he had a tight grip on his cock.

I struggled to right my breathing. I was even more turned on now, seeing that he was too.

“Fuck, Mia. I’m so hard for you.”

I swallowed. “Are you touching yourself?”

“Yes. But, if you send me another picture like that, I won’t need to.” He paused. “Are you touching yourself?”

“Not yet.”

“Touch yourself. Now. Open your legs and slide your fingers over your clit.” The demanding tone was back, and I loved the thrill that danced down my spine on a shiver. “Rub it and put a finger inside your pussy. I want to know how you feel when you fuck your own tight pussy.”

My heart pounded in my chest as I did what he’d said. I slid my hand down between my legs, ghosted a fingertip over my clit, and bit down on my lower lip as I pushed my middle finger inside myself.

“Move it,” he ordered me, his voice gruff. “Rub your thumb against your clit. Fuck your own hand, Mia, and imagine it’s mine. Imagine I’m there watching you finger yourself and get off.”

“You’re behind the times.”

“Probably so. I’m not much on technology. My phone is four years old and I’m told it’s considered a dinosaur. So, how have the computer dates been going?”

I stared at the green lip on the coffee cup. “I’ve just started.”

He snorted, “That well?”

I allowed the silence to speak for me.

“Sorry. I’m not usually such a jerk. I’m out of my element.”

“What is your element?”

His eyes narrowed and his jaw muscles worked. “You like adventure?”

I lifted a shoulder. “Sure. Who doesn’t like an adventure?”

“You have anywhere you need to be in the next, say…” he studied his watch, “three hours?”

My curiosity piqued. “Three hours? Not in particular.”

He ducked under the table to glance at my crossed legs. “You wouldn’t happen to carry a pair of boots or tennis shoes in your car?”

“I have a gym bag. Yoga pants, T-shirt, sweatshirt, shoes, socks.” I rattled off, listing each one by finger.

“A well prepared woman, I love it.” He rose and held out his hand. “C’mon, let’s get your stuff.”

“I need gym gear for a three hour breakfast?”

“That’s right, I promised you breakfast. Wait here.”

Campbell sauntered over to the counter and perused the glass case of pastries. He exchanged conversation with the barista behind the counter and pointed to different confections, and I turned back to the table to gather my materials.

“All set.” He held the bag aloft.

I rose, shouldering my tote and grasping my coffee like a lifeline.

What the hell am I doing?

It’s an adventure; you said you were up for an adventure.

Yes, but I hardly know this guy.

Just go with it.

As my subconscious argued with itself, Cambell held the door for me. “Where’s your car?”

“I lucked out. Street parking, around the corner.”

“That’s me, right there.” He indicated a black four door jeep with a hard top, big knobby wheels and splashes of dirt fanned along the sides.

“Okay, why don’t you stay here, I’ll drive round the block and follow you.”

“No need. Let’s get your stuff, I’ll drive.”

My head moved from side to side. “I don’t think so. I’d feel more comfortable if I followed you.”

“It’s about forty-five minutes away.”

“So.”

“Fine,” he sighed. “We’ll take your car.”

“Hold up,” I placed a hand on his chest. “I’m not getting in a car alone with a stranger.”

A light bulb went on. “Ah. I see. Did you read this in a dating handbook? You’re right. You shouldn’t get into a car with a stranger, except, I’m not a stranger. We were introduced through mutual friends.”

“First, Erika and Neil, though very nice people, are not my friends. They’re clients, and I’ve only known them a few days. Second, you’re much larger and stronger than me. It wouldn’t take much to overpower me, steal my car, and leave me stranded along the side of the road in the middle of nowhere.”

“Hey, I offered to drive.” He ran his hand through his hair, tucking it behind his ears.

I frowned.

“Okay, okay. I get it. Here’s what we’re gonna to do. Who’s on speed dial on your phone?”

“Why does that matter.”

He rolled his eyes and sighed, “Work with me. Who’s on speed dial?”

“Office co-workers, best friends, my mom…”

“Who’s expecting to see you soon?”

“That would be either Sierra my assistant, or Cody an account manager.”

“Call one of them, and tell her you’re going to Malibu for an adventure. Then take a photo of me and text it to her. Tell her if she doesn’t hear from you in three hours to call the police and turn me in.”

“Hmm…it’s a thought.”

“Here,” he reached into his pocket and pulled out a knife, deftly flicking it open.

I sucked in a breath.

He laid the sharp end in his palm and offered the handle to me. “You can hold onto this for security. If I make any false moves you have my permission to gut me with it.”

A passerby eyed the knife and scuttled quickly through a neighboring shop door.

“Oh, for the love of Pete. Put that thing away,” I hissed. “We’ll do the photo thing. Say cheese.” I held up my phone and clicked a photo.

Synopsis

A smokin’ hot British player…

A jilted girl…

One night of mistaken identity…

 

Two weeks before her wedding, Remi Montague’s fiancé drops her faster than a drunken sorority girl in stilettos. Armed with her best friend and a bottle of tequila, she hops a plane to London to drown her sorrows before fall semester begins at Whitman University.

 

She didn’t plan on attending a masquerade party.

 

She sure didn’t plan on waking up next to the British bad boy who broke her heart three years ago—the devastatingly handsome and naked Dax Blay. Furthermore, she has no clue how they acquired matching tattoos.

 

Once back at Whitman together, they endeavor to pretend they never had their night of unbridled passion in London.

 

But that’s damn hard to do when you live in the same house…

 

One night. Two damaged hearts. The passion of a lifetime.

Cover Reveal: Anti-Stepbrother by Tijan

anti stepbrother cover

I came to college with daydreams about being with my stepbrother, but what would happen if I fell in love with the anti-stepbrother instead?

Anti-Stepbrother

By Tijan

Release Date: August 2016

b48ad-goodreads

Synopsis

He told me to ‘settle, girl.’
He asked if ‘something was wrong with me?’
He said I was an ‘easy target.’
That was within minutes when I first met Caden Banks.
I labeled him an *sshole, but he was more than that. Arrogant. Smug. Alpha.

He was also to-die-for gorgeous, and my stepbrother’s fraternity brother.

Okay, yes I was a little naive, a tad bit socially awkward, and the smallest amount of stalker-ish, but if Caden Banks thought he could tell me what to do, he had another thing coming.

I came to college with daydreams about being with my stepbrother, but what would happen if I fell for the anti-stepbrother instead?

_____________________

tijan bio I didn’t begin writing until after undergraduate college. There’d been storylines and characters in my head all my life, but it came to a boiling point one day and I HAD to get them out of me. So the computer was booted up and I FINALLY felt it click. Writing is what I needed to do. After that, I had to teach myself how to write. I can’t blame my teachers for not teaching me all those years in school. It was my fault. I was one of the students that was wishing I was anywhere but at school! So after that day, it took me lots of work until I was able to put together something that resembled a novel. I’m hoping I got it right since someone must be reading this profile! And I hope you keep enjoying my future stories.
