vegetable cans in the cabinets. Where were the croutons? After he checked the
fridge, he pulled the cracker box off the shelf. “I usually top the casserole
with croutons, but this will have to do.” He dumped the square bits of wheat
into a bowl to crush.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">“No worries. I’m already impressed you’re not feeding me a TV dinner. A
man who can cook gets top notches in my book.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">He winked at her. After he drained the water, he layered the
pasta-and-vegetable mixture with the chicken in a large casserole dish, topped
it with crumbs and cheese, and popped it into the oven. “Come
here.” He pulled her close and kissed her warm, welcoming lips. Her
sweet taste rocketed through him. She twisted her fingers into his damp hair
and tugged hard enough to sting his scalp. He groaned. This was real. Normal.
The skanky women who flocked to him at clubs and after his gigs no longer
thrilled him. Did he have a shot for something real with Shea?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">She moaned into his mouth and nibbled on his lip.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">Tingles shot through his jaw. “Let me take care of you. I want to give
you candles, music, the works.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">“You mean to seduce me?”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">“I’ll only go as far as you’ll let me.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">A soft noncommittal noise rumbled from her mouth. He drew her hand up and
kissed her knuckles. Was she weighing the pros and cons? Would she let him
treasure her as she deserved? He licked the underside of her wrist.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">“Oh, God.” Her breathing sharpened, her chest rising and falling faster.
She clutched his biceps as he planted light kisses along her nose and brow. “Don’t
stop kissing me, Trevor. I want to forget about everything, except you.”<o:p></o:p></p>

O’Bannon feels like a fifth wheel around her romantically paired-off friends,
but there’s too much slime in the dating pool for her to bother with it. Then
she sees her two-timing ex, Trevor Madero, serenading the mostly female crowd
at a live-music bar. God knows trouble follows him around, but her desire for
him rushes back in anyway. After he rescues her from a handsy drunk, temptation
takes over.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Determined
to prove he never stepped out on Shea, Trevor slides back into her life—and her
heart—with forever in mind. Even with the wall he keeps up to protect her, his
secret criminal life weighs heavy on his soul and drives a wedge between them.<o:p></o:p></p>

the truth comes out and his enemies target them both, they’ll have to fight for
their love, or kiss it goodbye.<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></div><b>Buy Links:</b><br /><b><br /></b><p align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="background: white;">Add to Goodreads<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></b><span style="background: white;">– </span><a href="https://bit.ly/TrevorsRedemptionGoodreads"><span style="background: white; color: black; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">https://bit.ly/TrevorsRedemptionGoodreads</span></a><b><o:p></o:p></b></p>

kiss and danced the tango with her tongue. Her sweet cherry taste rocketed
through him. Yes! Delicious. Her breathy gasp filled his lungs as he trailed
his hands to the hot skin poking out between the hem of her top and her
waistband.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;">Chanel clutched
him close and feathered kisses across his jawline. “More. Touch me.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;">Fucking hell. He backed her against the stove
and claimed her mouth again. She pressed her soft breasts to his chest and
tugged on his hair. The burning in his scalp thickened his cock. The inferno
racing through him blazed hotter as he squeezed her supple ass.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;">She gasped and ripped her mouth from his.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;">He fisted her long, silky hair. The shudder
rolling through him stopped his heart, then jump-started the organ. He unbuttoned her pants and stroked the hem of
her cotton panties.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;">“Ryan.” She gyrated against him, breathing
hard. “We shouldn’t.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;">“You don’t have a boyfriend, do you?”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;">“Of course not. I wouldn’t be here with you
if I did.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;">He suckled the
smooth skin of her neck. “I’ve wanted
you since I saw you lugging boxes to your apartment.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;">She gripped his back. “Why didn’t you say
something?”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;">He thrust his erection over her belly. “I
thought you might’ve been dating one of the men helping you.” Though he
hadn’t seen either of those men in the building since Chanel moved in. One of
them reminded him of someone, as though they’d met before, but he couldn’t place
him.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;">“Mason and Jim are both engaged to their
better halves. You had nothing to worry about.” She tilted her head back as he
licked the line of her throat. “We need a—”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;">“I won’t hurt you.” He clasped her flushed
cheek and treasured her kiss-swollen lips. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;">“Ooh, I know,
but…” She shifted out of his hold.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;">He groaned. No!
Why? He gulped and lifted his hand to calm her. “Chanel, I like you a lot. I
didn’t mean to insult you about being a beautician, I swear. You must like me,
too, or you wouldn’t have kissed me back.” Please, God. He needed release. This
sexy woman had twisted him into a pretzel.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Beautician Chanel Leroc can wield a pair of scissors like
nobody’s business. After she witnesses a murder and lands on a serial killer’s
hit list, she has to figure out how to protect herself—and fast. The killer
tracks her down, but her sexy new neighbor, Dr. Ryan Naylor, drives the brute
off. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The police dump the pair in a witness protection program,
which doesn’t last long. Either the killer has a connection to the police, or
he’s far more intelligent than they realize. All Chanel wants to do is get back
to her safe life and get to know her neighbor better. Instead, she and Ryan hit
the road and try to survive on their own.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How will they stay alive and keep their blooming romance
intact with the killer hot on their trail?<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></div><b>Buy Links:</b><div><br /></div><div>Add it to Goodreads - <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58601725-ryan-s-temptation">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58601725-ryan-s-temptation</a><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

her mouth dropped open. <i>Oh my God.</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">How would that thick hair feel
against her nipples? Soft? Coarse? Just right?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">Her gaze traveled the length of
his body to the bulge pressed against his zipper. <i>Yum! He’s hard already.</i> She licked her suddenly dry lips.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">“Stare all you want, but it’s
more fun to touch.” He patted his thigh, the invitation clear.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">“I’m tempted.” She cocked her hip
to one side. “I guess the blueberry <i><span style="background: white;">clafoutis</span></i><span style="background: white;"> </span>can
wait, but you’re a little presumptuous to think this is how the night would
end.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">Then again, she <i>did</i>
mention having breakfast together. What did she expect him to think?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">“End? Honey, we’re just getting
started.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">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?”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">“Hell, yeah. A lot.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">“Damn, look at you. Come here,
Calista.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoBodyTextIndent">She
climbed onto the mattress and knelt over him, one knee between his legs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoBodyTextIndent">His shirt
spread farther apart as he sank deeper into the pillows. More dark hair covered
his taut muscles. His shirtsleeve hid the cast.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">“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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">“Undress me.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">She bit his nipple in reprimand. “Don’t rush me.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">“Jesus, woman. You’re driving me insane.” Jim rubbed the bulge in his
slacks along her satin-covered clit.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">“Ahh…” <o:p></o:p></p></div><div class="TEBContentfont-bookantiqua12pt" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""calibri" , "sans-serif"" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghyK46-vjLN14li5BSe2utaEDddL0b7jERCmYNei5B95HsLPCiqM-xRbawv4XW-Bg4ST1ZG7b-KuJXAlO31B5eb5lH5Y7CetgMF0MKmEvCabqYNaPex9LDgMJNTl34jgxWboxn_XHnDPX14LlZOxOa6JRnOZVFNQu2pmt8nMPqs7ubRWNfD9XymIFz6A/s899/Arresting%20Jeremiah2-AD%20teaser%201-new.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="642" data-original-width="899" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghyK46-vjLN14li5BSe2utaEDddL0b7jERCmYNei5B95HsLPCiqM-xRbawv4XW-Bg4ST1ZG7b-KuJXAlO31B5eb5lH5Y7CetgMF0MKmEvCabqYNaPex9LDgMJNTl34jgxWboxn_XHnDPX14LlZOxOa6JRnOZVFNQu2pmt8nMPqs7ubRWNfD9XymIFz6A/w400-h286/Arresting%20Jeremiah2-AD%20teaser%201-new.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Blurb:</b></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.4px;"><p class="MsoNormal">Injured Parole Officer Jeremiah

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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">“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.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">“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.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">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?”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">“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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">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.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">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.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"><i>Oh, God.</i> She almost melted right then
and there. “Fast. I want you, Mason.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">“Take me to your
place and you can have me.”</p></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjULTVZ0sXL6hg5dNVS81XuPJhjnRi-Twd752ZVwU65DtRV7LTTOlQYRbskuL8VwORGcUeWiliqi4yKP1nds9mh_A8-qjRpaZDrdUWfPFhAfRMCDcM2bmv8jd-HyN8O6HnRgrHhph1MTqTXXOGBK2VX4DfXVZda6tM80qouGcTLqRNKrxBrs6T8HptTaQ/s640/Arresting%20Mason2-AD%20teaser%205.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjULTVZ0sXL6hg5dNVS81XuPJhjnRi-Twd752ZVwU65DtRV7LTTOlQYRbskuL8VwORGcUeWiliqi4yKP1nds9mh_A8-qjRpaZDrdUWfPFhAfRMCDcM2bmv8jd-HyN8O6HnRgrHhph1MTqTXXOGBK2VX4DfXVZda6tM80qouGcTLqRNKrxBrs6T8HptTaQ/w400-h300/Arresting%20Mason2-AD%20teaser%205.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Blurb:</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.4px;"><p class="MsoNormal">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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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?<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></div><b>Buy Links:</b><br /><b><br /></b><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>Add to Goodreads – </b><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39005064-arresting-mason">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39005064-arresting-mason</a><b><o:p></o:p></b></p>

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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

a floating white circle before waves crashed around him.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

up.” A voice boomed from the steamboat.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">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.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Eyes growing wider, she
stared up at the boat’s railing. “But...” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">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.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">“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.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div class="TEBContentfont-bookantiqua12pt" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""calibri" , "sans-serif"" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh59iHSm5KybpsLKwqLtP-uACxQMQpIBCBzGYt71TDwJvjdpIwh_2gduPSPsXogwhd41fdtycav4vH_cxe8A4d7q_mvKKO7sPO9IaF3WrsNJf65orZV7_9581kTOrxNHbP59IN-1quO_3uxe-zQFEgsATqlXZBbz130j5Z16UHR2VZBggsU3PXhpYDk5A/s299/In%20Deep%20Water%20Title%20Banner.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="174" data-original-width="299" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh59iHSm5KybpsLKwqLtP-uACxQMQpIBCBzGYt71TDwJvjdpIwh_2gduPSPsXogwhd41fdtycav4vH_cxe8A4d7q_mvKKO7sPO9IaF3WrsNJf65orZV7_9581kTOrxNHbP59IN-1quO_3uxe-zQFEgsATqlXZBbz130j5Z16UHR2VZBggsU3PXhpYDk5A/w400-h233/In%20Deep%20Water%20Title%20Banner.png" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Blurb:</b></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.4px;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Hot?</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> Yes, Texas summers sizzle.

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

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">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.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">His emerald gaze met hers and she sank
into their welcoming depths. The sudden urge to get away from him melted under
his smile. <i>Damn, I’ve always been a fool for an Irish devil.</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">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.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Pausing after a moment, he reached over
the side and retrieved her discarded dress.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">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?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Or was she playing with fire?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“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.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">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.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">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.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">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?”<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div class="TEBContentfont-bookantiqua12pt" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""calibri" , "sans-serif"" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig35NC8HrAvjG0ZF2ugfmGOEbNOptYWub1q5_rug1o4cPnb-ZDMQbFxuedD91elVK0WNVZYspHH0QKj-repfxroT0hld33fpewWBYBP41K3SdLOv0jInAKk75yALqNbqvuJVz4A0DhZfQt0-YXZYFtKCqOOlODP639YTL4SgHz3MyMGlHDBfZKm16v1A/s1650/In%20Too%20Deep%20-%20AP%20Promo.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1275" data-original-width="1650" height="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig35NC8HrAvjG0ZF2ugfmGOEbNOptYWub1q5_rug1o4cPnb-ZDMQbFxuedD91elVK0WNVZYspHH0QKj-repfxroT0hld33fpewWBYBP41K3SdLOv0jInAKk75yALqNbqvuJVz4A0DhZfQt0-YXZYFtKCqOOlODP639YTL4SgHz3MyMGlHDBfZKm16v1A/w400-h309/In%20Too%20Deep%20-%20AP%20Promo.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Blurb:</b></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.4px;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

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?</span></div></div><div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></div><b>Buy Links:</b><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Amazon

container. “Betcha thought I was going to rub this on you to ease out some of
the aches in your muscles. Well, you’d be wrong. I’m gonna make every muscle in
your body tense and scream for me.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

oil between her breasts. It dribbled down her belly and puddled in her belly
button. Using her middle finger, she stroked her oiled flesh from the top of
her chest to where the material covered what he desired. She wiped her finger
dry, stroking it across his nipples. They responded to her touch.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

more liquid into her left hand, pressing it against her right breast. With her
palm, she circled her hand around, spreading the oil. She stroked under her
breast, up and around, drawing a spiral pattern closer and closer to her
nipple, then flicked her finger across the tight peak.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .2in;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Darien’s eyes stung, reminding him

everything on the other side.” She poured the scented massage oil into her
right hand and echoed what she’d done — rubbing, stroking, and flicking.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .2in;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The oil’s fragrance wafted on the

made Darien grunt and flex every muscle. The heat of his sexual tension caused
a bead of sweat to form on his brow, even though he was stretched out naked on
the bed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0in;">Daryl (@daryldevore) lives
in an old farmhouse in Ontario, Canada, with her husband and 2 cats. Daryl
loves to take long walks on her quiet country road or snowshoe across the back
acres, and in the summer, kayak along the St. Lawrence River. She has touched a
moon rock, a mammoth, and a meteorite. She’s been deep in the ocean in a
submarine, flown high over Niagara Falls in a helicopter, and used the ladies
room in a royal palace. Life’s an adventure and Daryl’s having fun living it. </p>

The Peter Thorton who had insisted she get enough sleep, eat properly and cease her destructive habits, or pay the consequences for disobedience.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Hurt and angry, Kate is torn between tossing Peter's offer back in his face, and risking all by placing her shattered heart back under his tender, yet dominant care. Though she'd never admit it, Kate had gone terribly adrift without Peter's steady guidance. She'd felt anchored and protected within his safety net of limits and rules, and reassured by the loving discipline he offered. But another failure would destroy her.~</span></div></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; margin: 5pt 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><i><br /></i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; margin: 5pt 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFkiS2v9VF4F8WrBn_3mYnP0YL17B-GEYZ6ePJWaVXtNLj6uSko35nUp2MCsK60yydnIYuqo2cGVzTdyJEJtjnENE_OR2MbEfbEc5KXB93s_YxG-NnL1wooN87aeEcexFLuDgYWlNIjyl6CW9OhLBLKkuV33qTEkK3q0-9PT93awIWejIMNrjnlFPktg/s626/al-bedroom-tonys-rev2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="626" data-original-width="626" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFkiS2v9VF4F8WrBn_3mYnP0YL17B-GEYZ6ePJWaVXtNLj6uSko35nUp2MCsK60yydnIYuqo2cGVzTdyJEJtjnENE_OR2MbEfbEc5KXB93s_YxG-NnL1wooN87aeEcexFLuDgYWlNIjyl6CW9OhLBLKkuV33qTEkK3q0-9PT93awIWejIMNrjnlFPktg/w400-h400/al-bedroom-tonys-rev2.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">BUY LINK ->-><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Acting-Lessons-ebook/dp/B00DNFCTR6" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: left;">http://www.amazon.com/Acting-Lessons-ebook/dp/B00DNFCTR6</a></div></span><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; margin: 5pt 0in;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Teaser:</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> He

ground her teeth together. Admittedly,
she had goaded him with her jabs, but then she hadn't believed he'd carry out
his threat. He certainly hadn't followed
through during the last years of their marriage, and yet he seemed different
today. More adamant, but concerned,
too. And, even though his arms
restrained her, the firm touch of his hand sliding along her backside and
thighs soothed her. So, despite the
precariousness of her position, she perversely enjoyed the attention. She felt secure--and she hadn't been this
content in a man's arms for a long time.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> None
of that changed the fact she was still inwardly furious with him for spanking
her in front of another person, but she had difficulty reconciling her
righteous anger with the part of her that was purring in response to his

she wanted.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> Unwilling

expected a verbal reply to his question, but she didn't remember what he'd

embedded in the floor before welcoming the watchtowers and elements. Trusting
each item in the box, her confidence grew with the knowledge that each possess
the power to answer her wishes. “For my altar, I offer these elements.” <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric ideograph-other; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Placing her colored candles in their sacred positions with each

a hawk-shaped candle. Setting it on the floor, she chanted, “A fire hawk to

invocations whispered from her pursed lips. “Wisdom to come for my amethyst.
Oil from a water creature held in an ocean shell to ease the tide of emotions
from swimming in the world of dreams.” She set a seashell with a small vial of
fish oil nestled in its center on the floor.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric ideograph-other; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">“And illumination shall come from the quill of a dove.” Throwing the

the regret building in her soul and centered her focus on the four elements on
the floor. Having established the inherent bond that they shared in their
youth, she lowered her head and nudged a message through her sister’s dark
dream. <i>“Wake up, little one! You need to go home. Mother needs your help.”</i><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p><b>This box set includes all three stories and can be purchased in either

spotted her down on the dock. He quickly strode down the gently sloping hill to
the river. Jenny stood with her back to him. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-shadow: yes; mso-padding-alt: 31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt; text-indent: .25in;"><span style="font-family: Times, "serif";">"Why didn't you answer me?" Cal asked.<br />

momentarily. With her still over his shoulder, Cal paused in the kitchen to

Stories of this nature were hard to come by before the Internet and the ones I found were a little harsh on discipline and very much lacking in love. So, I made up my own stories and enjoyed these in my head for years. I finally began writing them down. Although the lovely women in my stories are spanked often, the love between them and their men is the most vital part of their lives together. </span><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /><br /><span style="background: white;">I don't think of myself as a writer so much as a storyteller. I don't churn out books nearly as fast as perhaps my readers would like. My stories are told to me by my characters and I pass them along. I write what I've always wanted to read about - dominant men, strong women, intense love and loyal friendships. My Cassie's Space series is about a mature couple who are deeply in love. Despite adoring Cassie's free-spirited ways, Tom is determined to keep her safe, even if it takes a trip over his knee to do it. And with her friend and accomplice Sue by her side, a trip over his knee is very likely. The Cal's Law series is about a younger couple. Though from very different backgrounds, Cal and Jenny are drawn together by love and discipline. And my newest series, On the River, combines all my characters as they go about their lives on The Landing.</span><br /><br /><span style="background: white;">I was a school teacher most of my adult life. Now retired, I love having the time to write. I share a fulfilled life with my wonderful husband and my cat, Sophie. My adult children come around enough to keep us satisfied. Besides writing I spend my time reading and designing and unique, hand-drawing bookmarks. And I delight in hearing from my readers.

return a lost princess to her homeland, his commitment to the mission demanded
results. But the personal cost of never holding the woman who owns his heart
heightened the importance of the operation. So, whatever it took to achieve the
goal... <i>I’ll </i>b</span><span class="Heading6Char"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">ring</span></span><span class="Heading6Char"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><span class="Heading6Char"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Danella home.</span></span><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Because you need relief.” Sinking onto
his lap, the plush pressure of her bottom on his legs inflamed his need for
sex.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Toying with the drawstrings on his
shirt, she brushed her fingertips over his chest. “Shifting shapes builds a
fire in your loins, and you haven’t fed the beast in a while.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Unmercifully flirting with him, she
wiggled her bottom across his growing erection.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Curious
how she could know of his ability to transform unless she possessed the same
skill, he curved a hand over her knee. “And what about you? Do you suffer from
a similar problem?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">An intimate giggle broke between her
lips before she widened her legs. “No one can ever accuse me of not taking
pleasure wherever I can find it.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“But can you shift forms?” Enticed by
her silky skin, he glided his hand under her skirt and stroked her velvety
inner thigh. Fighting the firestorm that touching her inspired, he studied her
beautiful face, looking for a reaction to his touch.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I’m a witch. I can accomplish many
things.” Nudging the string on his shirt aside, her fingernails scored his
chest before she combed her fingers through the hair and tweaked his nipples.
“You’ll find sharing your passion with me is like nothing you’ve ever
experienced before.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The enchanting tone of her voice sent
wave after wave of energy through his system. But if this wasn’t Danella, then
he needed to get back to his job and leave the witch alone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Still, something about her...<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I must say, I’m tempted.” Wedging his hand
deeper, he fought the insatiable fervor the creamy texture of her skin
inspired. Driven onward by her response to his touch, he darted ever closer to
her wet heat with each stroke until she moaned and rocked forward as if
desperate for his next caress. Completely captivated, he struggled against the
ravenous fire burning through his loins. “But I prefer a little more privacy
when I stroke a woman.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span></p>

by his comment, she grinned and shut the door. “Well, I’m hoping you won’t
mind. With so many guests in the castle, some of us are forced to share
quarters.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to have him so close, she drew in his tantalizing scent of inflamed pheromones
that ignited a hunger in her sexually deprived body. Excitement tempted her
hands to slide under his jacket to the curve of his shoulders and slip his coat
down his arms. “Like?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

releasing her for more than a moment, he rid himself of the garment, stepped
closer and tugged her against his chest. “Like a taste of,” he leaned forward
and kissed the side of her neck. “The luscious cream coating the lips of…” his
tongue circled her ear. With a low moan, he whispered, “your hot pu… uh… female
opening.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

her own.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">Kelly Franklin is not your "normal"
submissive. In fact, there's some question as to whether she's a submissive at
all. She seeks the protection a Dom can give her without paying the price a Dom
exacts. Unfortunately, when Master Evans takes her in hand, she pays double.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><o:p> </o:p>James Evans has been a police detective for
sixteen years and an active participant in the local BDSM scene for even
longer. The fact that Kelly Franklin, a
pretty and feisty submissive, scurries off like a frightened rabbit every time
she sees him, intrigues him both as a Dom and a detective. So, when a fellow police officer mentions
he's looking for a new Dom to top Kelly, Jim eagerly signs up for the job.</p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">As a Dom, Jim is pleased by Kelly's open
responsiveness, but as a police detective, he is determined to solve the enigma
she presents. When he discovers Kelly
has not only been keeping secrets from him, she has lied, he is more than
willing to drape Kelly bare butt over his knee for a spanking--until she
finally tells him the truth.</p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><o:p></o:p></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Available on Kindle Unlimited</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj4vf9XOojIZbZoMhySg2fc-sltu4LtairK4yqu3nTEvdIeTaitafN2_-8lsalrqkY8ZIpd2eWlUjugNe_Ubn5dF3Mhv6hPetBLbp8y4NNsbfhpYltH1EBGPbHWN2eqYUJxxsVM7Dj7i9airozHaARwmAMKkem4_j4WGsUCTKhMG94VoTTZE0WpFa7STA=s626" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="626" data-original-width="626" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj4vf9XOojIZbZoMhySg2fc-sltu4LtairK4yqu3nTEvdIeTaitafN2_-8lsalrqkY8ZIpd2eWlUjugNe_Ubn5dF3Mhv6hPetBLbp8y4NNsbfhpYltH1EBGPbHWN2eqYUJxxsVM7Dj7i9airozHaARwmAMKkem4_j4WGsUCTKhMG94VoTTZE0WpFa7STA=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">BUY LINK ->-><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><span style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/A-Doms-Dilemma-ebook/dp/B009OUY24W/">http://www.amazon.com/A-Doms-Dilemma-ebook/dp/B009OUY24W/</a></span></div></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; margin: 5pt 0in;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Teaser:</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">The ride to her apartment so smooth, Kelly floated into a twilight sleep. It seemed like only seconds had passed before Jim was opening her door again. Taking his hand, Kelly stepped out of the car, all-too-aware of the firm palm settling at her waist before she was briskly escorted inside. Uh oh. It didn't matter if she wanted him to come upstairs or not. This Dom intended to make sure she was settled before he left, and expected her to go along with his wishes without comment. Kelly made no dissent, since even hinting at an objection would most likely get her in trouble again. Despite his arrogance and marked tendency toward bossiness, his determined mindfulness of her welfare caused Kelly to feel desired and protected, but it didn't solve her problem. </p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">She hadn't cleaned in weeks. </p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Too embarrassed to let him see how she lived, Kelly balked at asking him in. So, when they got to the door of her fifth floor apartment, she held her hand out. </p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">"Thank you, Sir." </p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">He grasped her wrist, pulled her close, kissed her and extended his palm. "Keys," he ordered. </p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Sighing, Kelly dug around in her purse and slapped them into his hand. She received an arched eyebrow in return. </p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">"Look, the place is a mess," she admitted. "I wasn't expecting anyone to come home with me." </p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">He gave her chin a light pinch. "Kelly girl, I'm not here to inspect your housekeeping skills. I'm here to make sure you're tucked in safe and sound. So, relax." </p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">When she sighed in response, he regarded her with a frown. "Yes, Sir," she answered, though even she heard the petulance in her tone. </p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Choosing to ignore her ungracious attitude, he opened her door, grabbed her hand and pulled her behind him as he walked through her apartment, thoroughly checking the place out. She tried several times to tug free so she could at least pick up the pile of dirty laundry she'd left scattered on the couch, but he refused to let go. Left with little choice except to obey, she followed him around and continued to apologize as he went through and searched every room, including her small laundry area. By the time she'd uttered her tenth 'sorry', he turned and drew her into his arms. </p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">"Would you stop apologizing, woman? If you're so upset about it, we'll work on your organizational abilities as a project. At least I'm getting an idea of how you live." </p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">"That's what I'm afraid of," she muttered under her breath. </p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Kelly received a firm swat for her flippant response along with an order to shush. Even though none of her clutter seemed to faze him, she could tell he was making mental notes, which made her stomach churn with unease. The churning turned into a full-fledged dread, however, when he began sorting through her stack of unopened mail.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt;

father who curses her ability to shape-shift, then uses her special skill to
scam local villagers. The only freedom she knows comes as she soars through the
sky in falcon form. A chance meeting with another changling turns her world
upside down. Beyond satisfying the powerful sexual cravings that follow
transformation, he reveals a surprising dimension of sex between their kind…one
to unlock the secrets of her soul. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Havyn Westmore has questions…Faye Lynn holds the answers.
Determined to unravel her secrets, he must strives to gain her freedom and
trust. Teaching her the finer techniques of transformation keeps her close
while sex strengthens their bond. But on the trail of discovery, Havyn must
confront his own past. Accused of a heinous crime, he was banned from his
homeland. Now, he must choose between returning to face certain execution—or
robbing Faye Lynn of her birthright and a life in Paradise. <o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></div><b>Buy Links:</b><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Banished-Hero-Paranormal-Romantic-Banished-ebook/dp/B012UIRW32?tag=tingay-20"><span style="color: #950000; font-family: Rosario; font-size: 13.5pt; text-decoration-line: none;">Amazon</span></a> <span style="font-family: Rosario; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Rosario; mso-fareast-font-family: Rosario;">| </span><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B012UIRW32?tag=tingay-20"><span style="color: #950000; font-family: Rosario; font-size: 13.5pt; text-decoration-line: none;">UK</span></a> <span style="font-family: Rosario; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Rosario; mso-fareast-font-family: Rosario;">| </span><a href="http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B012UIRW32?tag=tingay-20"><span style="color: #950000; font-family: Rosario; font-size: 13.5pt; text-decoration-line: none;">CA</span></a> <span style="font-family: Rosario; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Rosario; mso-fareast-font-family: Rosario;">| </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B012UIRW32?tag=tingay-20"><span style="color: #950000; font-family: Rosario; font-size: 13.5pt; text-decoration-line: none;">AU</span></a> <span style="font-family: Rosario; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Rosario; mso-fareast-font-family: Rosario;">| </span><a href="https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/697684"><span style="color: #950000; font-family: Rosario; font-size: 13.5pt; text-decoration-line: none;">Smashwords</span></a> <span style="font-family: Rosario; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Rosario; mso-fareast-font-family: Rosario;">| </span><a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/banished-hero-anita-philmar/1017484522?ean=2940153974231"><span style="color: #950000; font-family: Rosario; font-size: 13.5pt; text-decoration-line: none;">B&N</span></a> <span style="font-family: Rosario; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Rosario; mso-fareast-font-family: Rosario;">| </span><a href="https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/banished-hero"><span style="color: #950000; font-family: Rosario; font-size: 13.5pt; text-decoration-line: none;">Kobo</span></a> <span style="font-family: Rosario; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Rosario; mso-fareast-font-family: Rosario;">| </span><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/banished-hero/id1198333062?mt=11"><span style="color: #950000; font-family: Rosario; font-size: 13.5pt; text-decoration-line: none;">Apple</span></a> <o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEizzoKPwp_OrpNZTTzJE8WrvNzZtjfYG1wh41RLJdPOt-BxDqq18_rmzIpKxiDG888AKDz-AMbO6f_898bu0NdCaAb9x3B2UDBYpm3PQ3QMgqnMyt5tAjsIFzfcJqNrp4-EFPGLplQ6DgXIxoIMWlFmGfUE0wDvIpnNdrkJ2l42-IBMAUo5OHFTsUdBqA=s299" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="59" data-original-width="299" height="79" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEizzoKPwp_OrpNZTTzJE8WrvNzZtjfYG1wh41RLJdPOt-BxDqq18_rmzIpKxiDG888AKDz-AMbO6f_898bu0NdCaAb9x3B2UDBYpm3PQ3QMgqnMyt5tAjsIFzfcJqNrp4-EFPGLplQ6DgXIxoIMWlFmGfUE0wDvIpnNdrkJ2l42-IBMAUo5OHFTsUdBqA=w400-h79" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.12px; margin-bottom: 8pt; mso-hyphenate: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-align: left;"><b>About the Author:</b></div></div><div><div class="normal"><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="MsoNormal">Anita Philmar likes to create stories that push the limit.

bed,” Jarrett whispered as Marissa closed the door to Jason’s bedroom. “You’re
a naughty girl for lying on Christmas Eve.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">She winked. “It worked last year and the year before.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">“I see. You’re naughtier than I expected.” He nibbled her earlobe until
a sweet gasp escaped her mouth.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">“Jarrett, wait. Not outside my son’s room. C’mon.” She dragged him into
her bedroom and pushed him against the door. “You’re wearing too many clothes.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">“So are you.” He cupped her ass and dragged her up his body. Oh, hell.
He’d never get enough of her. Those legs and her breasts—fuck. As she wrapped
her long limbs around him, he seized her lips and pushed away from the door.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">“The bed,” she mumbled the words against his mouth.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">He laid her down and topped her. “Lift your arms, baby.” He jerked off
her sweater and groaned. The overhead light cast a golden glow across her
smooth skin and curly hair. A sexy red-and-green striped bra cradled her
breasts. He licked one of her taut nipples from atop the fabric and moaned from
the scent of sugar cookies.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">Marissa gasped and arched her back, pressing her breasts against his
face.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">“You’re killing me.” He nuzzled her chest before sliding his hands to
her back and freeing the bra clasp. Her breasts bounced free and grazed his
chest. His cock throbbed so painfully against his zipper that he lurched
forward and dry humped her.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">“Like what you see?” Her mouth hitched up in a smile.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">“Tease.” He glided his tongue across her other nipple.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">“Yes, more.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">He stroked the curve of her soft bottom lip. She swiped her pretty pink
tongue over his fingertip, trying to draw it into her warm mouth, but he pulled
back and jerked off his shirt. After he stripped off his jeans and underwear,
she pushed him down on the mattress and swirled her amazing tongue across his
chest. Ah, fuck. His muscles bunched as she trailed her decadent kisses down
his abs and upper right thigh, circumventing his needy, straining cock.<o:p></o:p></p>

picked up the bottle and poured oil over his chest. It was cool but rapidly
warmed against his hot flesh. Her fingers were firm as she kneaded the
slickness into his skin. With broad strokes, she dragged her fingers down his
chest, pausing to tap his nipples, then continued until her hands met by her
mound. She scratched the back of her fingernails back up the same path, adding
a quick tweak on his nipples. Up and down, her hands aroused his body to a
fever pitch.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the explosion building in him.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

faced him. He loved her back. Especially, the small of her back. Nirvana was to
get lost in time while placing tiny kisses in the hollow just above her hips.
Something about that curve lit a desire in him which drove him to do things to
elicit moans from Erika. Her hips would twitch. She’d writhe against the bed
while her fingers dug into the sheets. He loved driving her to that point of
almost bliss.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

groan of frustration. Although only a foot or two away from her, it was a
chasm.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

ran her fingers up her body, outlining the teddy. “It’s easy on.” She reached
up, pulled two ties and shimmied. The outfit dropped to the floor. “And easy
off.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

raised the pressure in his throbbing cock. He ran his fingers over his head.

Erika Bailey, only to discover his brother is missing. Fearing the worst, he
contacts his nemesis, Gan, and makes a repulsive deal that will free his

python and Gan are involved, things go sour, and Darien sinks into a deep
depression.<o:p></o:p></p>

Her father's destruction of her club and the humiliation of her mother’s
drunken behavior have her feeling down, but those are the least of her worries.
She has a wedding to plan, but won’t. Having been betrayed too often, she’s
scared to trust Darien.<o:p></o:p></p>

Life’s an adventure and Daryl’s having fun living it.</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0in;"><span lang="EN-CA"><a href="https://daryldevore.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 6.0pt;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">He didn't respond.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 6.0pt;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Tears welled. "Damn you, Darien. I trusted you."<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 6.0pt;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">She blinked. "What?"<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 6.0pt;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"I was drunk. She's hot. I was missing you and… things
just got out of control. I'm not always controlled by my brain. Sometimes other

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 6.0pt;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"I miss you, too." Her voice was small.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 6.0pt;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Erika stared at her keyboard and tapped a fingernail on her

evident in his eyes, his words, and his tone. He hadn't meant to let things get
out of control. It started off as a fun night out with his friends. Cut loose.
Let some steam off. She chuckled.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 6.0pt;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">He raised an eyebrow. "Okay, you laughing kinda
seriously creeps me out. What's so funny?"<o:p></o:p></span></p>

followed him to the bedroom. “I don’t know what has gotten into Lily!” she
exclaimed. “I made a few suggestions and she’s off the deep end.”</span></p><p align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">Andy
stepped from the closet where he had been rummaging around. When Annie saw him
emerge holding the leather paddle she had brought home years ago, mostly as a
joke, she stepped back shaken, exclaiming, “Have you gone crazy too?”</span></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Someone’s
off the deep end and it’s neither me nor Lily. We’re going to have a talk right
now.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Annie
found herself across Andy’s lap before she could realize he was serious. “I
want <i>my</i> wife back, Annie. You’ve been under enormous stress. I realize
that, but something needs to snap you back to the calm, lovely woman we all
know and love. My friends say this works and I’m going to find out.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Andy,
no! You can’t do this!” Annie cried.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Andy
had spanked Annie several times over the years. Nothing like Tom often dealt
with Cassie, but this wasn’t a completely new experience for either of them.
Except it <i>was</i>. Andy was deadly serious. He’d heard from Tom and Steve
and even Ryan and Cal how much a ‘stress-relieving’ spanking could work. And
Annie needed stress relief!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">He
spanked right through her shocked protests. He continued to spank as her brief
anger flared and still kept on until he felt her body relax and her shouts of
‘no!’ and ‘stop!’ turned to sobs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Andy
laid down the paddle and helped Annie up to sit on his lap. He held her tightly
as she continued to cry.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Let
it out, honey. Just let it out. Everything’s okay and you’re going to be fine.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Annie
cried on his shoulder. <i>That really hurt! Why did he do that?</i> she asked
herself in bewilderment. But the longer she sat, held firmly in Andy’s arms,
the better she felt. It was like a bubble swelling inside her. When it burst
she began feeling a calm she hadn’t felt in months.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Andy
patiently continued to hold here, gently rubbing her back. “You feeling
better?” he asked.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Annie
nodded into his neck, a little embarrassed and not quite ready to look him in
the eye. “I want you to remember there is nothing the two of us can’t handle.
Especially with the help of Lily and the rest of the family. <i>You</i> don’t
have to take it all on your shoulders. You mind Lily on what to eat and drink.
Get yourself into bed at a decent hour, too. And <i>relax</i>! You can do his
Annie. I’ve never been one to tell you what to do, but that’s what you can
expect for a while. Do you understand me?”<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div class="TEBContentfont-bookantiqua12pt" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""calibri" , "sans-serif"" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdSo0paUFpfZcs6PC56M621m-miiTGCLeolMaLk76KXa91fgtr0OV2n_Rvd16r44SY-pZFoOJFUvN8wYlqt1-0ZqWR0otIyTEkACSa-0I2PPyDgVQQE3-Pjrz2l6OuGu-WmojnLRCdwcKU/s1080/Secrets+on+the+River-PK+mail-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdSo0paUFpfZcs6PC56M621m-miiTGCLeolMaLk76KXa91fgtr0OV2n_Rvd16r44SY-pZFoOJFUvN8wYlqt1-0ZqWR0otIyTEkACSa-0I2PPyDgVQQE3-Pjrz2l6OuGu-WmojnLRCdwcKU/w400-h400/Secrets+on+the+River-PK+mail-8.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Blurb:</b></div><p align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Everyone has secrets, but most don’t have
major implications. When Jenny tries to keep her weekend activities from Cal,
the repercussions of him finding out land only on her. But some secrets are
bigger and more far reaching. You would think that as long as Cassie, Sue and
Annie have known each other, surely they could have no real secrets from one
another. But you’d be surprised. The full truth behind one secret may never be
known, another could change the face of The Landing forever.</span><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>

by spanking stories since before I first saw Ricky spank Lucy. Stories of this
nature were hard to come by before the Internet and the ones I found were a
little harsh on discipline and very much lacking in love. So, I made up my own stories
and enjoyed these in my head for years. I finally began writing them down.
Although the lovely women in my stories are spanked often, the love between
them and their men is the most vital part of their lives together. </span><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I don't think of myself as a writer so much as a
storyteller. I don't churn out books nearly as fast as perhaps my readers would
like. My stories are told to me by my characters and I pass them along. I write
what I've always wanted to read about - dominant men, strong women, intense love
and loyal friendships. My Cassie's Space series is about a mature couple who
are deeply in love. Despite adoring Cassie's free-spirited ways, Tom is
determined to keep her safe, even if it takes a trip over his knee to do it.
And with her friend and accomplice Sue by her side, a trip over his knee is
very likely. The Cal's Law series is about a younger couple. Though from very
different backgrounds, Cal and Jenny are drawn together by love and discipline.
And my newest series, On the River, combines all my characters as they go about
their lives on The Landing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I was a school teacher most of my adult life.
Now retired, I love having the time to write. I share a fulfilled life with my
wonderful husband and my cat, Sophie. My adult children come around enough to
keep us satisfied. Besides writing I spend my time reading and designing and
unique, hand-drawing bookmarks. And I delight in hearing from my readers. You

of blood seeped from Darien's wolf tattoo, mesmerizing him. They trickled over
the inside of his bicep, splattering against the bar floor.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">Darien ran his hand back through his
hair and frowned. Why was the wolf bleeding? It was supposed to look sexy. Turn
chicks on. Not bleed. He blinked as a thought formed. Maybe it wasn't the
tattoo. Could he be bleeding? He didn't remember getting hurt. But that might
be because he'd had too many vodka shots.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><i><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">Expensive gold-infused vodka.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">An order snapped out in Thai ripped
his focus away from the cost of the booze.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">Stumbling with the translation, his
gut clenched - <i>Check everyone. Anybody
alive. Kill them.</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">A shrill female scream. A gunshot.
Silence.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><i><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">That'd be one of the hookers. Damn.</span></i><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA"> <i>Hope it wasn't the one
with the butterfly tattoo above her clit. She had a mouth on her that performed
miracles.</i> <i>Dude! What the fuck! Must be the vodka talking. Stay focused.</i>
<i>There are guys with guns out there</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">Darien stretched his neck out and
peered around the edge of the bar. In his line of vision, a male leg stuck out
from under a table. Expensive looking shoe. Presumably Italian leather.
Probably belonged to Nai Jâhng.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">Darien raised his eyebrows. <i>Wow.
Somebody had the balls to kill a Triad boss</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">He shifted his glance. A few feet to
the left lay a female arm with brilliant orange fingernails. He shivered at the
memory of those nails grazing his balls. He focused on a tiny object a foot in
front of him. Shards of glass were scattered about. He frowned, trying to
remember what happened. He'd walked behind the private club's bar to get
another bottle of vodka when, one by one, bottles started exploding. Next thing
he knew, he was on the floor, looking at the blood dripping from his tattoo. He
glanced at his arm. The bleeding had stopped.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">Okay, so he wasn't gonna bleed to
death. Good. Now he just had to get his dumbass outta there. Past them. The
guys with the guns. How the fuck could he do that?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">Voices interrupted his thoughts. The
tones were panicked or angry, and the words too fast for him to translate,
although he understood the meaning of the three rapid gunshots, followed by a
short groan. The door at the opposite end of the bar, leading to the kitchen,
swooshed as someone pushed it open.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">Gunfire and screams sounded from the
kitchen. The door swung open again. Darien translated the shooter's words,
"Nobody alive in there. I'll check the offices upstairs."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">Darien slid back, trying not to disturb
the glass. He did his best not to yelp when a sharp edge sliced through the
skin on his knee. With deliberate movements, he backtracked the length of the
Black Dragon's bar. Squatting, he peeked around the end.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">Three men stood with their backs to
him, dressed in black pants and muscle shirts. Each one held an assault rifle.
A bleeding sun tattoo visible on one attacker's shoulder. Daeng Arthit Triad.
Not good. So not good.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">He looked forward. The kitchen door
was six feet away. Six feet of wide-open, easily visible space. It might as
well be six inches or a mile. He couldn't risk it. Wouldn't. He didn't want to
get shot.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">He shifted his weight off the knee,
pressing on a piece of shattered bottle. <i>What the fuck, dude? You're gonna
die if they find you. Better to be running for your life than just lay here and
let 'em kill you.</i> That was the logical side of his head's opinion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">The chicken shit side said,<i> Stay
here. Stay down. You're safe.</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">A yell and several more gunshots
drifted down from the floor above. The men pounded up the stairs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">Without taking a moment to think,
Darien bolted through the kitchen doors, then skidded to a stop. The rancid
smell of burning food and fresh blood hit him deep in the pit of his stomach.
Four bodies lay facing him, eyes wide, obviously unseeing. One of the dead
chefs held a massive meat cleaver clenched in his right hand.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><i><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">Never bring a knife to a gunfight. </span></i><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">He shook his head.<i>
Quoting movies at a time like this? Focus, dude.</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">Heart pounding, Darien cast his gaze
about the room, looking for an escape, while his ears listened for the sound of
running footsteps coming up behind. He fought the nausea of rising fear as he
moved forward, searching for an exit while trying to keep his gaze from the corpses.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><i><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">Please let this be some shitty
nightmare, and I'm gonna wake up now. Fuck!<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">In the back-right corner, he spotted a
door. With renewed hope, he raced to freedom. He bolted through the doorway,
skidded in the pool of blood, lost his balance and crashed onto the dead
hooker. He tried not to be judgmental, but in the brief glance he’d had, a girl
on her knees in front of a man with no pants on was obviously on the clock. Or
cock, as the case might be.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-CA">He braced his hands on the
blood-soaked floor and pushed himself to his knees. The back of her head was
missing, and her dead John had no face. Just a bloody, pulpy mess. He laid
sprawled back on the desk. <i>Big enough guy to be one of the ones who was
supposed to be guarding the front entrance.</i> <i>Well, he went out with a
bang.</i></span></p><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgodkj9yBiprvT7brsesCvFLNKtv8kjmTHaI9-OAy8u0r9B0kGjdtR2iNcZYJT7EJV587xTA4ZDJmCvEHsgBcyzBMMaUG9zkk4x_2U5nDbXwvIatWEktD0q-U263gHvltCDSMMa_gt034fs/s1080/What+Happened+in+Bangkok+-+DD+teaser+1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgodkj9yBiprvT7brsesCvFLNKtv8kjmTHaI9-OAy8u0r9B0kGjdtR2iNcZYJT7EJV587xTA4ZDJmCvEHsgBcyzBMMaUG9zkk4x_2U5nDbXwvIatWEktD0q-U263gHvltCDSMMa_gt034fs/w320-h320/What+Happened+in+Bangkok+-+DD+teaser+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Blurb:</b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.4px;"><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">To save Darien's life his brother asks,

What inspired <b>What Happened in Bangkok?</b> A song on the radio. Hubby and I were in the car on the way to
visit with our daughter. Gloria Gaynor’s <i>I Will Survive</i> was playing and
I turned around, grabbed my laptop, and wrote the first 3 chapters of a book
that I had no idea I was going to write which turned into a trilogy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">If you are scratching your head thinking this sounds familiar – this is
a re-release. I received my rights back from my publisher and decided these

That was a punishment swat. You are not allowed to rub yourself after you're
spanked, unless I give my permission. If I catch you doing it, I will put you
over my knee. I usually tie the wrists of repeat offenders behind their back, but,
given your fear of restraints, I won't do that to you. However, I assure you
there are countless other ways for me to punish when I think you deserve it.
That spank was for hesitating. Whenever I tell you to do something, I expect
you to follow through immediately. I regard any hesitation on your part as
disobedience, which will earn you a swat at minimum, but more likely a
spanking. Go stand by the dressing table."</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; margin: 6pt 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; margin: 5pt 0in;">

back down at the bed coverings and kicked away her heels. <i>Only a coward
would continue to stall.</i> She turned her back on her lovers, slowly untied
the halter straps of her little blue dress, and shimmed her hips. The clingy
fabric slid down her body and pooled around her ankles. Wearing nothing but a
pair of lacy black panties and a matching bra, she puckered her lips in a
flirty pout and glanced behind her.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoBodyTextIndent">“Little tease.” Sam clenched one hand at his side,
his gaze dropping to her perky ass, and he pumped his cock harder with his
other hand.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">She grinned,
her self-confidence shooting like a rocket into outer space. Tunneling her
hands through her hair, she lifted the heavy locks and let it cascade back down
in a slow, sensuous fall, swaying at the tip of her ass. Nathan growled as
Calla reached for her bra clasp, and she batted her eyelashes at him from over
her shoulder. “You wanna do it?” Nathan liked undressing her, Sam enjoyed her
strip shows, but Calla didn’t care how she undressed as long as she woke up
sore in the morning.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">Nathan crossed
the blankets in three long strides and grasped her waist with his strong hands.
His fingers dug a little hard into her skin as he held her from behind.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">Desire shot
through her, and she almost melted as he trailed hard little kisses along her shoulder
blade. She inadvertently transferred power and control of the situation to him,
but she couldn’t find the will or the want to steal it back.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">Nathan swiped
her hair to one side, feathered his fingertips down her spine, and wrapped his
arms around her like two steel bands. Caged against his solid chest, his cock
pressed into the small of her back. He turned them both around, keeping her
backside flat to his front, so they faced Sam.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div class="TEBContentfont-bookantiqua12pt" style="line-height: normal;"><span face=""calibri" , "sans-serif"" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVX7giFUEoWIE3550p2alKpjgBvI-svypUcxHcpGZGcleMUAkkwYEUlaC4s00AuLCDQ5X24SMZ1zTkWsXacvLVluPJ9p2qvLl8mHhhyfODWlYrYP_nu8r7VeGp5ZU51O2m7aVGyIxuzcVY/s1200/Calla%2527s+Summer+Fantasy+-+AD+teaser+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="1200" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVX7giFUEoWIE3550p2alKpjgBvI-svypUcxHcpGZGcleMUAkkwYEUlaC4s00AuLCDQ5X24SMZ1zTkWsXacvLVluPJ9p2qvLl8mHhhyfODWlYrYP_nu8r7VeGp5ZU51O2m7aVGyIxuzcVY/w400-h209/Calla%2527s+Summer+Fantasy+-+AD+teaser+2.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Blurb:</b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.4px;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: none;">Calla Lansky needs help at playing the field.<o:p></o:p></p>

There’s always a strong plot, with lots of adventure. Then there’s the sex. Her pet hate is cliff hangers, so even the books in her series can be read as stand-alone romances. Add in that she's a sucker for a happy-ever-after, and you’ve got her writing style. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face=""arial" , "sans-serif"" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;"><i>Consummating her marriage shouldn’t be so hard</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNvYVzBIV4hK-N8u7x5nXOHZwoAqqSz7mZMX1g3FW5Z-sTzfUzqOkjLPNu08paf1z5Wj8-OYefo6mGiii_lW4RjALPu3gdrmvasn8xrOLkrjYNlyfhMEaJHAzMhBryHsiWokeCExlwUUQ9/s1600/His+Innocent+Bride-KF-cover_LRG.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="955" data-original-width="636" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNvYVzBIV4hK-N8u7x5nXOHZwoAqqSz7mZMX1g3FW5Z-sTzfUzqOkjLPNu08paf1z5Wj8-OYefo6mGiii_lW4RjALPu3gdrmvasn8xrOLkrjYNlyfhMEaJHAzMhBryHsiWokeCExlwUUQ9/s400/His+Innocent+Bride-KF-cover_LRG.png" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Excerpt:</b></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">The way he ran his hand up and down her spine made her thighs turn weak, but she’d promised to obey him. Unfair as that seemed, she would do as he asked. He’d already told her to strip, so rising to her feet, she let the blanket fall to the floor and untied the belt of her borrowed dressing gown. The silk slid from her shoulders and slithered down her arms. It pooled on the floor at her feet.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">She covered her nipples with her right arm and used her left hand to shield her pussy.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">He sucked in a breath. Voice stern, he commanded, “Arms at your sides. That’s it. God, woman, you’re temptation personified. I’ve pictured you naked since I brought you off that first time, but I never imagined you as beautiful as this. Turn around, let me see every inch of you.”</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">All her life, her mother had insisted vanity was a sin. When her husband called her beautiful, Alethea’s smile shone brighter than the summer sun. As she pirouetted before him, her nipples hardened, and damp heat flooded her pussy. In a perfect world, she’d study his bare chest and delicious-tasting cock too, but she was too shy to ask.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">Holding her gaze, he beckoned her closer. “Come here, chick. Because you’ve accepted that I’m in charge in our marriage, I’ll forgo the punishment spanking you deserve. Instead, I’ll spank you for our mutual pleasure. Put yourself in danger again, and I’ll blister your beautiful bottom with my belt. Do you understand?”</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">She nodded and took a nervous step toward him. How any spanking could be for pleasure was beyond her, but she’d trust her husband and obey his commands. Another two steps and she stood with her knees at right angles to his lap.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">A nervous glance showed her his cock had grown to humongous proportions. When she’d worn her blindfold, she’d never seen his arousal. Now it fascinated and delighted her.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">When he pulled her over his knee, his cock dug into her hip. Positioned like this, she felt like a naughty child. She tensed when he stroked her bare bottom.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">Deanswood patted it gently. “Relax, or this will hurt more than it should.”</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">Those were easy words for him to say, but hung over his lap with her bottom in the air, she felt vulnerable and scared. Taking a deep breath, she untensed the muscles in her bottom.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">He brought his hand down in a sharp smack that made her yelp. Heat exploded through her, warming her bottom. Another two blows followed in quick succession, one on each cheek. The way he spread the pain made her wail. Tears misted her eyes, but she clasped his ankles and tried to stay still. Another slap, harder than before, made her sob in earnest. Her bottom blazed. Pain crescendoed through her like thunderbolts that jarred her bones.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">Her mind fogged and her vision blurred. She forgot the terrors of her day. Forgot where she was. She couldn’t even remember her name. Her world narrowed until only she and Deanswood existed. His next two strikes made her howl.</div><div><br /></div></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIJPuzmZ-6EJjD_4GWAhSGzlaw0raNs2ERi0yXmqygEv1uv4cu85emOo9apiSAjM-HW2YMUHBiiktMqUd7ZhkaxuEe5SGvGkC_KZccEOTKiXm0Cxa_9nA0UdMo0poSpeAUAfu1iCoyO7gJ/s1600/His+Innocent+Bride+-+KF+Review+Promo.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="770" data-original-width="1020" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIJPuzmZ-6EJjD_4GWAhSGzlaw0raNs2ERi0yXmqygEv1uv4cu85emOo9apiSAjM-HW2YMUHBiiktMqUd7ZhkaxuEe5SGvGkC_KZccEOTKiXm0Cxa_9nA0UdMo0poSpeAUAfu1iCoyO7gJ/s400/His+Innocent+Bride+-+KF+Review+Promo.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Blurb:</b></div></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><div class="MsoNormal"><span face=""arial" , "sans-serif"" style="background: white; color: #333333; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 14.98px;">Going about her mundane life in a small fishing village, Alethea never dreamed she would end up with a man like the Earl of Deanswood, yet when she caught the handsome gentleman's eye he wasted no time in making her his wife. Unbeknownst to Alethea, however, her conniving mother has convinced Deanswood that she has no interest in the marital bed.

Her earliest memory is going to the library with her mother. She can’t have been more than two at the time. Reading, especially when a book’s hot and explicit, is more than a guilty pleasure. It’s an obsession.</span><span face=""arial" , "sans-serif"" style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;">Kryssie loves to visit historic sites, from Hadrian’s wall to Regency Bath. The first book she fell in love with was Georgette Heyer’s <i>The Unknown Ajax</i>. After that, she devoured every regency book she could. Part of Kryssie’s psyche lives in in in Regency London. She longs to dance quadrilles and flirt behind fans. Of course, Kryssie’s heroines do far more than flirt.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">Kryssie lives in Bridlington on the Yorkshire coast –about thirty miles from Whitby, where Bram Stoker wrote Dracula. She enjoys gardening, travel, and socializing with her author friends. You’d be surprised how many erotic romance authors live in the North of England. </span></div></div></div></div><div><div class="normal"><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div></div><div class="normal">Visit the other participants joining in the<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH5dbKSCX-PWVUELJzpBZwGuDaiXhDGWl_TBqkkfAA1h8TQGbpdQqbwr4mwN3JFnhhfiFfVSXxxTH_QmfsLjGrcr_xJ2ob8hCAsXm461IoQWiHSAg-QekYRHijyVncLQjmSQmt5li3fmU5/s1600/Neverending+Blog+Tour-ebook.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH5dbKSCX-PWVUELJzpBZwGuDaiXhDGWl_TBqkkfAA1h8TQGbpdQqbwr4mwN3JFnhhfiFfVSXxxTH_QmfsLjGrcr_xJ2ob8hCAsXm461IoQWiHSAg-QekYRHijyVncLQjmSQmt5li3fmU5/s1600/Neverending+Blog+Tour-ebook.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-align: center;"><hr align="center" noshade="" size="1" width="100%" /></div><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="MsoNormalTable" style="border-collapse: collapse; mso-table-anchor-horizontal: column; mso-table-anchor-vertical: paragraph; mso-table-left: left; mso-table-lspace: 2.25pt; mso-table-rspace: 2.25pt; mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184; width: 646px;"><tbody><tr><td style="padding: 0.75pt; width: 230.25pt;" valign="top" width="307"><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-element-anchor-horizontal: column; mso-element-anchor-vertical: paragraph; mso-element-frame-hspace: 2.25pt; mso-element-wrap: around; mso-element: frame; mso-height-rule: exactly; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; vertical-align: top;"><a href="http://kryssiefortune.blogspot.co.uk/">Kryssie Fortune</a><o:p></o:p></div></td><td style="padding: 0.75pt; width: 253.9pt;" valign="top" width="339"><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-element-anchor-horizontal: column; mso-element-anchor-vertical: paragraph; mso-element-frame-hspace: 2.25pt; mso-element-wrap: around; mso-element: frame; mso-height-rule: exactly; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; vertical-align: top;"><a href="http://jayepeaches.com/blog/">Jaye Peaches</a><o:p></o:p></div></td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 0.75pt; width: 230.25pt;" valign="top" width="307"><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-element-anchor-horizontal: column; mso-element-anchor-vertical: paragraph; mso-element-frame-hspace: 2.25pt; mso-element-wrap: around; mso-element: frame; mso-height-rule: exactly; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; vertical-align: top;"><a href="http://krbnaughtythoughts.blogspot.com/">Kathryn R.
