Guest Post - 08/28/2022 - "Arresting Jeremiah" by Amber Daulton #ContemporaryRomance #EroticSuspense

 

When threats escalate, will Jim and Calista succumb, or fight for a love they can’t deny?


Excerpt:

Calista entered her bedroom and her mouth dropped open. Oh my God.

Her date reclined on her bed as though he starred in a photo shoot. Candlelight flickered across him. The sultry gleam in his eyes arrested her, holding her captive. His sexy smile weakened her knees. None of her past lovers rocked a pair of classic black slacks and a crisp white dress shirt like he did. His chest hair, a few shades darker than the locks on his head, poked from the parted fabric and teased her.

How would that thick hair feel against her nipples? Soft? Coarse? Just right?

Jim was spread out for her pleasure like a Christmas present. She wanted to unwrap him, layer by layer. Maybe he should unwrap himself, so she could enjoy the show.

Her gaze traveled the length of his body to the bulge pressed against his zipper. Yum! He’s hard already. She licked her suddenly dry lips.

“Stare all you want, but it’s more fun to touch.” He patted his thigh, the invitation clear.

“I’m tempted.” She cocked her hip to one side. “I guess the blueberry clafoutis can wait, but you’re a little presumptuous to think this is how the night would end.”

Then again, she did mention having breakfast together. What did she expect him to think?

“End? Honey, we’re just getting started.”

She laughed, grasped the hem of her blouse, and pulled it over her head. Her favorite perfume scented the room, and she picked up the bottle. “You like?”

“Hell, yeah. A lot.”

She sprayed a few drops on her fingers, caressed the pulse at the base of her throat, and dragged her touch down between her breasts. His guttural growl teased across her nerve endings, shooting rockets through her belly. She shimmied her skirt down her hips and kicked aside her heels. A red satin bra and panty set sheathed her body. She locked her hands together behind her back before involuntarily covering her breasts and stomach.

“Damn, look at you. Come here, Calista.”

She climbed onto the mattress and knelt over him, one knee between his legs.

His shirt spread farther apart as he sank deeper into the pillows. More dark hair covered his taut muscles. His shirtsleeve hid the cast.

Yes! Finally! She buried her fingertips in those kinky curls and traced the hard, hot expanse of his chest. Her belly twisted into a bundle of lust.

His pecs twitched. He moaned and grasped her hip, his face flushing red. His spine arched as she lightly pinched one of his nipples. A long hiss escaped through his teeth.

“Lay back and let me handle everything.” She straddled his waist and trailed her fingers around his belly button. His eyes darkened, the pupils expanding, and heated her from the inside out. She laved her tongue over his nipples, kissing one yellowish bruise after another.

“Undress me.”

She bit his nipple in reprimand. “Don’t rush me.”

“Jesus, woman. You’re driving me insane.” Jim rubbed the bulge in his slacks along her satin-covered clit.

“Ahh…” 





Blurb:

Injured Parole Officer Jeremiah “Jim” Borden never expected Calista Barlow, the sassy blonde waitress he’s craved for months, to ring his doorbell. She slips into his heart—and his bed—but he’s obsessed with a gangland investigation that threatens his career and maybe even his life.

Calista doesn’t trust easily, not with a daughter to protect and the stalker who keeps calling her. After her violent ex-boyfriend returns, she finds solace in Jim’s arms.

Jim may have to forego his need for answers to protect the ready-made family he adores, but how will he and Calista escape an unseen enemy that is always one step ahead of them?

Guest Post - 8-21-22 "Arresting Mason" by Amber Daulton Book One of the Arresting Onyx series #RomanticSuspense

 Their chance encounter resulted in a steamy affair, but will his former gang and a parole officer tear them apart?



Excerpt:

“Which one is your car?” She glanced around the crowded parking lot. A few streetlights pushed back the darkness and shadows. The restaurant served customers until midnight on the weekends, but no one loitered in the lot, at least from what Mia could see.

“Don’t have one at the moment.” Mason hooked his thumbs in the belt loops of his jeans. “I took the bus. It stopped a few blocks from here.”

“Would you like a ride?” She pulled the car keys from her purse. “I feel a little ridiculous we met here tonight. I just wasn’t sure if you were some kind of freak.”

His eyebrow lifted, and he closed the distance between them as a tiger would zero in on its mate. A sexy, masculine smile curled his lips. “Have you made up your mind yet?”

“I’ll let you know in the morning.” Desire trickled down her spine. Mia nodded toward the passenger side of the car for him to hop in.

He confiscated her keys instead to unlock and open the driver’s side door for her like a gentleman. Then he leaned closer and nuzzled her temple with his nose.

Not sure if he planned to seduce her in the parking lot or if he merely wanted to tease her, Mia pressed her hand to his chest and tried to think straight. “You’re the first guy I’ve gone on a date with since my divorce. I haven’t slept with anyone since Evan.”

He tunneled his fingers through her wavy, chestnut-brown hair. “I haven’t dated anyone in a long time either. We’ll take it slow or fast, whatever you want, but I promise you one thing. After I’m done with you, you won’t even remember that bastard’s name.”

Oh, God. She almost melted right then and there. “Fast. I want you, Mason.”

“Take me to your place and you can have me.”



Blurb:

Once you’re in a prison gang, you’re in it for life. That’s what Mason Harding thought until the boss accepted his resignation. After the State releases him on parole, a sexy divorcée behind the wheel of a car almost ends his life quicker than a shank. His chance encounter with Mia Eddison results in a night of passion, but her brother—his parole officer—catches them together and doesn’t approve.

Mia falls hard for the cocky ex-con, but not because of his chiseled body. She vows to break through his walls and discover his secrets, but never expects those secrets to threaten her life.

When members of an organized crime ring kidnap Mia to force Mason’s return to the gang, he goes up against an old friend to save the woman he loves. Will his sacrifice be enough or will everything fall apart in a blaze of gunfire?

Guest Post - 8/12/22 - "In Deep Water" by Anita Philmar #TexasRomance, #hothistorical, #Western

 Saved by a sexy stranger, Carolyn Devans tells a lie claiming Marcus Goodman is her husband…Now can she hope for a happy-ever-after or just enjoy a brief affair?




Excerpt:

Sinking lower into the murky depths, Marcus realized her panicked grip had loosened before a muffled scream rang above him and a foot connected with his chest. Seconds later, air exploded from his lungs. Darting away from her, he scurried to the surface and was met with a roaring whirl.

Gulping in both air and water, his lungs rejected the mixture, causing a stream of coughs to inhibit his progress of saving the drowning damsel.

Plop.

Spinning, he caught sight of a floating white circle before waves crashed around him.

“Grab hold, and we’ll pull you up.” A voice boomed from the steamboat.

Instantly glancing around, he noticed the woman struggling to reach the device. Swimming over to her, he shoved her closer to the floating ring before grabbing hold and draping an arm around her waist. “Just hold on, and they’ll lift us up.”

Eyes growing wider, she stared up at the boat’s railing. “But...”

After being drug for a short distance, the ring lifted onto its side. Tightening his grip on the woman, he repositioned her into its center. “If you put your head through here, you can wrap your arms over the sides, and it’ll help keep you steady.”

Seconds after following his instructions, the device rose between them. Immediately grabbing ahold of the rope, he wrapped his arms around her and the ring. Then the upward movement tugged them from the water. His feet dangled in the river for a moment before they swung on the end of the line. The rope jerking them upward, slammed him into the side of the steamboat. Pain radiated along his right side, prompting his grip to tighten.

“Oh, God, what if they drop us?” Her whispered words rang with fear before she buried her face onto his upper torso. “Thanks for at least trying to save me.”

Plastered against him, her silky skin caressed his stomach while her alluring warmth penetrated the fabric of his pants, diverting the pain in his back and created a fire in his blood that eased the frigid chill of the tributary.

Hearing the voices of the people lining the steamboat’s railing, he glanced up at the concerned expressions above. With his frame hiding the naked woman in his arms, he couldn’t help but wonder what the curious passengers would say when they finally arrived on board in their current state of undress.





Blurb:

Hot? Yes, Texas summers sizzle. Lured by the brilliant idea of dipping naked into the Trinity River, Carolyn Evans wades into the water and is captured by the swift moving current, putting her life in danger.

Help! The cry sends Marcus Goodman, who’s on his way with a friend to the Gulf of Mexico to join the confederate army into the river to save the naked lady. The only problem is a passing steamboat has the same mission, placing him in a ticklish situation when they’re pulled aboard, and she claims they are married.

Tempted by the adventurous opportunity and enthralled with the sexy woman, he holds her to the claim of matrimony. Will this end with a happy-ever-after union or a soul-crushing heartache?

Guest Post - 8/2/2022 - "In Too Deep" by Anita Philmar #TexasRomance #historical #hotread

 Desperate woman seeks helps from a stranger…but can she escape loosing her heart to this sexy stranger.




Excerpt:

Oh, God, what the hell was I thinking?

Aware of the searing blush on her face, she bowed her head to hide her embarrassment from the man still holding her in his arms. Flustered by her reaction to him, she drew her hands back to her chest and held tight to the thin fabric of her top.

Releasing her, he squatted to examine her foot. His hands circled her calf and glided over her ankle. “Sorry, but you’re not walking on this foot anytime soon.”

His emerald gaze met hers and she sank into their welcoming depths. The sudden urge to get away from him melted under his smile. Damn, I’ve always been a fool for an Irish devil.

Easing his palm along her leg to her knee, he squeezed it before rising. “Why don’t I help you get dressed? Then we’ll head back to where Marcus and I camped. Once I retrieve my things, I’ll take you home.”

Captured by the caress, she didn’t hear his words. Instead, she fought the sudden attraction expanding through her core and dug through her memory, searching for a way to avoid the danger of another heartbreak.

Luckily, the saints were with her because he stepped away. Leaving her torn between the old carefree spirit she’d been in her youth and the more season soul she’d become by trusting the wrong man with her heart. With great restraint, she held her tongue and watched each step he took around the wagon.

Pausing after a moment, he reached over the side and retrieved her discarded dress.

Hit by the reality, she lambasted herself for believing any man would want her. Didn’t Kirk, Richard’s brother, constantly tell her she was plain, and that no one would want her other than him?

Fighting the depressing thought, she swung her head to the path along the river and stared. What would it hurt to take Callum home with her? If she could persuade him to help her instead of having to ask her in-laws, then she might break free of their constant presence in her life.

Or was she playing with fire?

“If you’ll just lift your arms,” the handsome stranger stopped in front of her. “Then I’ll slide your dress over your head, and you can button it right up.”

Studying him, she debated her choices. Could she resist him? If so, then... Mind racing with potential solutions, a workable proposition blurted between her lips. “Why don’t you come home with me? I’ll need help with my farm until I can walk again. And could use the extra help.”

Lifting her dress again, he nodded as if he’d already devised the plan before she even thought of it. “It’ll give me a place to stay until Marcus and your friend return.”

Still uncertain if he understood what she was offering, she clarified, “You’ll need to handle most of the chores. Because I’m not sure how soon I’ll be back on my feet. So, how much will this cost me?”





Blurb:

Furious with her in-laws’ demands to marry her deceased husband’s brother, Sadie Pepperman heads for the Trinity River with a friend to escape the pressure of their unsolicited advice.

Seeking an adventure, Callum Murphy and his friend, Marcus Goodman, are heading to the Gulf of Mexico to join the confederate army. Their quiet camp is interrupted by a lady’s scream. Spotting a woman in the swiftly moving water, Marcus jumps to the rescue, followed almost immediately by the rumble of wagon wheels along the dirt path, accompanied by a beautiful lady calling for help. 

Attempting to save her friend, Sadie meets Callum and joins forces. Only to discover their friends are being hauled onto a steamship. Eager to get away from temptation, she turns to leave and twists her ankle. The agonizing pain leaves her with the inability to walk. To avoid asking her in-laws for help, she offers Callum a place to stay if he’ll help with her farm’s chores.

Enamored with the lady, he discovers she has a few issues; crops to bring in from the fields, a sex starved brother-in-law, and a body which inflames his desire. One problem, however, worries him. Can he convince her to forget the other rascals in her life and give him a chance?
