Synopsis

My name is Angelica McCoy and I am a man-eater. I use men. I use them to make me feel worthy and beautiful, to help me get through the day. To help me forget.


That is until a certain man walked into my life and turned it upside down. He’s the only person that’s been able to see through the lies, the bullshit masks. He turns every wall I’ve carefully constructed around my broken heart to rubble.


Without questioning it, without asking for permission he takes my heart and makes it his.


The question is can I get over my own fears, the suffocating disbelief in happily ever after to give him what he needs? What he deserves?

Excerpt 

“I’m still mad at you,” Ryan announces as we’re pulling into my parents’ driveway. “I can’t believe you used my body against me.”“Oh, quit it. Don’t act like you’re above using sex to get what you want.”We step out of the car and make our way towards the house, before we get to the front door Ryan pushes my back against the siding. “Just for that little stunt, you’re mine tonight. All night. Don’t forget you promised I can have it anyway I want it tonight.”“How convenient that you remember that part of the discussion.” My tone is exasperated, a smile just begging to be freed but I refuse to give in. That is until he gifts me with his unfairly sexy crooked grin, his blue eyes shining with mischief.

With his mouth on mine he makes delicious promises, and for the first time I wish Thanksgiving was already over. “All night, baby. All fucking night long.”

With one final knee-weakening kiss he steps back and walks away. It takes me another second to catch up, I keep picturing Ryan bending me over the dining room table and fucking me from behind. Fuck, I want that. Can we go home now?

Stepping towards him I roll my eyes at the victorious look in his eyes, he knows he has me. He knows me well enough to know that I’m all worked up and ready to go now. What he may not know, but is about to learn, is that I’m just as good — if not better — at teasing than he is.

Bring it on, Ryan. Bring. It. On.

Stripping Her Defenses’ Dream Cast

Riley Before 1
Riley is your all-American guy, but with a few alpha man tendencies. I have to admit, Chelsea Camaron helped me pick out this dream cast because according to her, Riley Sullivan is her book husband. Who she game me though, oh boy… he was a pretty close fit for how I saw Riley in my head. She also happened to pick an actor who starred in one of my favorite movies, Starship Trooper. Casper Van Dien. *swoons* He’s so handsome that I sort of want to steal him from Chelsea Camaron. ;D

nikki_reed_Kara
For Kara, I would cast Nikki Reed. She comes across as both a subtle exotic beauty from her mixed ethnic heritage, with a touch of the girl next door. For me, she fit Kara perfectly except I imaged Kara a good bit curvier. That aside, she’s a fabulous representation of my good little Navy SEAL wife turned stripper!

A little bit of heaven is about to meet a whole lot of hell.

Morgan Powell was raised to be perfect, to set an example for her sisters to follow. Her life has been dedicated to making something of her career, so she wouldn’t know what to do with a man even if you gave her an instruction manual.

Brett ‘Ice’ Grady spends his days trying to keep up with his teenage daughter, his nights consumed in Regulators’ MC business. He has no time for anything more than a casual hookup.

Two worlds collide when the dangers of his life crash into the calm of hers.

Can she go beyond her own boundaries and chip her way through to the man known to be as cold as ice?

BLP REVIEWS – Rebecca

 

I should state going into this review that I’m biased because I am a Jessie Lane fan, I love their paranormal Big Bad Bite Series and Walk on the Striped Side is one of my all-time favourite shifter books.

So …………….. The Ex Ops Series

Secret Maneuvers

I read Secret Maneuvers some time ago but reread it this week before Stripping Her Defenses, I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it – fast paced, well executed, damn fine secondary characters as always and leaving you wanting more.
Some mistakes from the past haunt us forever… unless fate steps in with a second chance.

One ‘Dear John’ letter haunted Bobby Baker’s every living moment. It was the letter he’d stupidly written to his high school sweetheart, Belle, right after he had left to join the Army. The letter in which he’d told her that he wasn’t so sure they were ready for forever yet. Before he could let her know that the letter, and his second thoughts, were nothing more than a mistake, she disappeared from the small Georgia town they had both been raised in.
Fifteen years after the letter, Belle unknowingly walked back into Bobby’s life when her job as an ATF Agent forced her to work with a group of men secretly headed by the CIA to help her track down whoever was involved in funnelling black market weapons to a drug cartel in Mexico.

Bobby planned to use this mission to try to soothe Belle’s hurt feelings while proving to her that their love was meant to be forever. He would use every dirty trick he’d learned since he had joined the Army to maneuver her back into his life for the long haul. Belle was not making it easy, though, as she continued to keep him at arm’s length in the hopes that mistakes of her own would never come to light.

 

Not gonna lie, there were times I wanted to take a baseball bat to Bobby and inflict some serious damage! But this a story of second chances (more than two in Bobby’s case!), first loves and what ifs all interwoven into a military action story.

“Ever since I met you, even my feet stopped belonging to me and became yours because all they ever seem to want to do is travel to wherever you are. My heart only lives and beats when you’re where I can see you. Touch you. Kiss your lips and show you the physical equivalent of how deeply I love you. My soul fucking died after I sent that stupid letter and you disappeared. I’ve spent the last fifteen years walking around as a shell. Not a living, breathing human, but a robot going through the everyday motions. You were, are, and will always be more than my life. More than my beating heart, or any other physical reaction my body has. You’re my everything, my fucking essence. I cease to exist unless I’m with you.”

I really felt for Belle and Bobby through their reconnection because life is messy and complicated, sometimes the decisions we make while right at that particular time have far reaching consequences that you cannot anticipate or foresee. Belle at first comes across as an incredibly strong woman and it’s not until Teagan and Seth have their say with Bobby that we realise life has hurt her more than she shows.
Bobby’s reaction to the news of what he has missed and some of his subsequent behaviour is where my friend Slugger and I wanted to get to know him! But Jessie Lane then writes pieces like that above and you want to forgive him, you want him to give Belle that happy ever after and for them to have the family life together they should always have had. Bobby frustrated me for a fair amount of the book, however, I still enjoyed it and even on the reread didn’t skim any.

The secondary characters were as outstanding as always, special mention has to go to Declan just because it’s Declan! Jaxon and his observations on relationships and military tactics were very funny, subtle and almost scary!

A Solid Four Star Read for me

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Stripping Her Defenses

Ex Ops Series: Second Chance Romance with a hint of Suspense

He can’t change the scars on her body…
but fate will give him a second chance to mend the scars he put on her heart.

Riley Sullivan and the Ex Ops Team are headed to Miami undercover… as bikers. Following up a lead, the men will perform their investigation acting as members of the Regulators Motorcycle Club with the club’s permission. Surrounded by hard-core bikers and investigating missing strippers, Riley finds the last person he ever expected to see again—his ex-wife.

Kara Sullivan left the man she loved after a tragic accident cost them their unborn son. After years of therapy, she’s come to grips with the loss and has re-emerged from the pain a brand new person. That doesn’t mean she’s ready to face the man who inadvertently broke her heart, and who she’s hurt in return.

Riley has never stopped loving her and he never will. He’s ready to fix their marriage and move on with their lives, however Kara’s reluctance to renew their relationship isn’t their only problem. Danger lurks just around the corner… and there’s a chance she could disappear permanently.

Riley for me was not a character who had stood out in my mind on the previous book so I was taken by surprise at exactly how much I liked him. Nah I’ll correct that, how much I wanted to do dirty, dirty things with him because I liked him that much! He sort of sneaked up on me and it all became clear why he was so withdrawn in the previous book. Some serious regrets there that he would change in a heartbeat.

Kara I was pretty unsympathetic to in the beginning – however the way depression is explained and dealt with really opens your eyes – it’s a tricky, largely misunderstood problem that they beautifully, clearly explained and my heart went out to her and to Riley as this affects not just the one going through it but all their loved ones as well.

This story is second chances the same as the first but with a completely different feel to it. Kara has spent years finding and accepting herself, she’s in a good place; body, mind and soul all at peace. A chance run in with Riley shows both of them that there is still unfinished business between them as well as love and a very healthy chemistry. That chemistry when it explodes in the backseat of her car…….. Well, panty melt. Who knew Riley was like this?!?!?!

This book is also the introduction of The Regulators MC which is a series Jessie Lane and Chelsea Camaron are writing together. Being the unfaithful book whore that I am, and hey you’ll see what I mean when you read it, I wanted to do REALLY DIRTY things with Ice (yep Riley was forgotten that fast!) and as I adore MC books this just made it all even better, bikers, military men, hotness, sex, a damn sweet story and oh, did I mention bikers and sex?

#bikerwhoreandproud

On the whole I devoured this one and thoroughly enjoyed it, there is a lot going on but I thought it was a good introduction to the new series, adored Riley and Kara, want to console Ice and have to say that at one point Jessie Lane stopped my heart. I sat there looking at my kindle thinking NO, she wouldn’t? Would she?

Another solid book from these two talented writers who just get better and better………………………

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Day: October 29

Conflagration is the second in an Explosive spin-off series called The Wellingtons.

Can be read as a standalone

goodreads

 

Synopsis

Branson Wellington? The name, my name, is usually followed by arrogant prick or self-serving bastard, and I can’t say I haven’t earned those titles. It’s true. I’m not the good guy. I’m not the boy next door. I’m definitely not your Prince fucking Charming. Not even close.

And I never wanted to be. Until her. The day I pulled her from the wreckage was the day that my life changed.

Who would have thought that one little lie had the power to throw two lives off course?
Love has never been in the cards for me, but now that she’s here, I have no idea how I’m ever going to let her go. Even if I don’t deserve her.

Because like I said, I’m a self-serving bastard and some things never change.

Excerpt

As the blackness starts to fade away, I see that white light, but it doesn’t really look like that tunnel. No, it’s just a scene change, and if I could muster up enough strength, I’d groan because there are things in my life I’d rather not relive. It’s bad enough that I have the memories and have been dealing with the fallout for far too long. Reliving it all over again is more agonizing than the first time around, because now, I know the truth. I betrayed my brother in the worst possible way when he’d done nothing wrong, but by the time I found out, it was far too late.

So why am I having these flashbacks playing in slow motion? I thought when you were on death’s door, your life was supposed to flash before your eyes. So why am I replaying every single mistake I’ve ever made as if it were the first time—in slow motion instead of quick bursts? Maybe my life did flash before my eyes and it happened so fast that I missed it. Maybe I’m dead after all and this? This is my hell.

BLP REVIEW – Rebecca

PURE CLASS…….
THOSE TWO WORDS HAVE BEEN ON REPEAT IN MY HEAD SINCE I FINISHED CONFLAGRATION.

CONFLAGRATION
It isn’t just a few flames; it’s an especially large and destructive fire that causes devastation.

 

Branson Wellington? The name, my name, is usually followed by fucking prick or self-serving bastard, and I can’t say I haven’t earned those titles. It’s true. I’m not the good guy. I’m not the boy next door. I’m definitely not your Prince fucking Charming. Not even close.

And I never wanted to be. Until her. The day I pulled her from the wreckage was the day that my life changed.

Who would have thought that one little lie had the power to throw two lives so off course?

Love has never been in the cards for me, but now that she’s here, I have no idea how I’m ever going to let her go. Even if I don’t deserve her.

Because like I said, I’m a self-serving bastard and some things never change.

THIS BOOK IS JUST PURE CLASS THROUGH AND THROUGH – EMOTIONAL, PASSIONATE AND REAL, IT’S ABOUT FACING UP TO YOUR FAULTS, MISTAKES MADE AND CHALLENGING YOUR COURSE IN LIFE, THE BALANCE AND DIRECTION.
I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF TESSA TEEVAN BOOKS SAT ON MY KINDLE FOR A WHILE NOW THAT, DUE TO OTHER COMMITMENTS I HAVEN’T GOT ROUND TO YET, SO THIS WAS MY FIRST INTRODUCTION TO THE WELLINGTONS AND TO TESSA.

I SHOULD NOT LIKE BRANSON ACCORDING TO THE BLURB AND HIS ASSHOLE SELF AT THE BEGINNING OF THE BOOK BUT, BEING THE FICKLE BITCH I AM, I ADORED HIM FROM FIRST MEET. I ALWAYS LOVE THE TORTURED, BROODY ONES THE BEST! HOWEVER, I WOULD DEFY ANYONE TO READ THIS AND NOT HAVE MS TEEVAN TURN THEIR OPINIONS AROUND – SHE WROTE HIM WITH SUCH DEPTH AND SYMPATHY THAT YOU JUST WANT TO FIX HIM AND FUCK HIM………………………………….. OR FUCK HIM AND FIX HIM, WHICHEVER!!!!

“If you don’t want anyone else to give up on you,
You can’t give up on yourself.“

THESE ARE THE WORDS ARI WRITES TO BRANSON AFTER THEIR FIRST MEETING, NEVER EXPECTING TO SEE HIM AGAIN. HIS MEMORIES OF THAT DRUNKEN NIGHT ARE INCOMPLETE BUT THE WORDS RESONATED WITH HIM AND SO HE STARTED TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION HIS LIFE WAS SPIRALING TOWARDS.
AN ACCIDENT PLACES THEM TOGETHER AGAIN.

MY BRAIN IS SCREAMING AT ME TO RUN AWAY, TO FIND SAFETY, BUT THEN I LOOK BACK INTO THE CAR. HER HAND PRESSES AGAINST THE GLASS, HER FINGERS SPREADING, AND SHE LOOKS AT ME, TEARS FILLING HER EYES. I PRESS MY HAND TO THE WINDOW, COVERING HERS, AND IN THAT INSTANT, THE WORLD AROUND US STOPS. OUR EYES LOCK, KNOWING WE MAY BE THE LAST THING EACH OTHER SEES, AND FOR A SPLIT SECOND, THERE’S RECOGNITION IN HER EYES. THERE’S A FAMILIARITY HERE, AS IF I’VE MET HER BEFORE, BUT I CAN’T PLACE HER. I’M TRANSFIXED ON HER FOR A MOMENT, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW I KNOW HER.
I NO LONGER FEEL THE HEAT ON MY BACK, THE FLAMES ON MY FACE, ALL I SEE IS HER. ALL I FEEL IS HER. SHE’S SOMEONE IMPORTANT – I CAN FEEL IT DEEP DOWN IN MY SOUL, BUT I’M NOT SURE WHY. WITHOUT QUESTION, SOMETHING INSIDE ME SHIFTS, AND I START POUNDING MY FIST AGAINST THE GLASS, KNOWING I NEED TO GET HER OUT OF THERE.

YEP FIX HIM AND FUCK HIM, TOLD YOU! PAGES IN AND MS TEEVAN HAD ME ROOTING FOR BOTH OF THEM. WHAT STUCK ME MOST ABOUT HOW THIS RELATIONSHIP HAS BEEN WRITTEN IS THAT MISTAKES ARE MADE ON BOTH SIDES BUT THE APOLOGIES AND THE WILLINGNESS TO WORK AND FIGHT FOR IT SHINES THROUGH FROM BRANSON AND ARI, I GET SO BORED READING WHERE ONE IS DOING ALL THE COMPROMISING AND WORK – RELATIONSHIPS TAKE TWO, THEY TAKE EFFORT, COMPROMISE, HUMOUR, PASSION AND FRIENDSHIP – THIS IS SHOWN BEAUTIFULLY IN CONFLAGRATION IN MY OPINION.

ARI IS A WOMAN DISCOVERING HER STRENGH, ACKNOWLEDGING HER WORTH AND HER JOURNEY, BOTH TOGETHER WITH BRANSON AND ALONE, TO DISCOVER HERSELF IS JUST BEAUTIFULLY DONE.
I DETEST REVIEWS THAT TELL ME THE WHOLE BOOK SO I’M NOT GOING TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE STORY DEVELOPMENT, THE DISCOVERY IS THE PLEASURE, BUT WHAT I WILL SAY IS THAT THIS IS THE SWEETEST, PUREST, CLASSIEST CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE IT’S BEEN MY PLEASURE TO READ FOR A WHILE. TOTALLY UNEXPECTED IN THAT IT JUST GRABBED THOSE HEARTSTRINGS AND DID NOT LET GO.

PURE CLASS FROM START TO FINISH……

EXCERPTS

#1

I’m smiling so brightly that my cheeks hurt and I can’t help but feel emotional as he leans in to kiss me. His kiss is full of passion and a steady stream of tears flow from my eyes down my cheeks, because of how proud, honored and loved I feel. And that’s all coming from the man I love, the man kissing me, the man I want to be with for an eternity, and in this moment I know that nothing can tear us apart.

#2

“Then fuck me, Colt,” I say and he groans into my mouth. His hands slide on to my arse and he pulls me from the desk. He takes me over to the bed and lays me down making his way over the top of me.
“I’m definitely going to fuck you, Lia, I’m seriously going to fuck your brains out. But first I’m going to make sweet normal love to the most beautiful girl in the world

Australian author K E Osborn was born and raised in Adelaide, South Australia. Having worked in the optical industry for some time, K E Osborn decided it was time to leave the optical world behind and start on something new. With a background in graphic design and a flair for all things creative, she tried her hand at writing.
K E Osborn hid the fact that she was writing from her family, as she believed her first story was simply something she had to get on paper first and then judge if it was good enough for others to read. It wasn’t until her mother found a printed version of the manuscript that her secret came out. She was a writer, and she loved it. Writing gives her life purpose. It makes her feel, laugh, cry, and get completely enveloped with the characters and their story lines. She feels at home when writing.

BLOG TOUR ~ TANGLED ROOTS by REBEKKAH FORD

 

 
Tangled Roots
by
Rebekkah Ford

 

 

After
eighteen-year-old Carrie Jacobson discovers she was a witch in a previous life,
she seeks to reawaken the past part of her soul. With the help of an eccentric
enchantress and a boy who is more than he seems, Carrie succeeds and is
spellbound by the memories of her life in the 1600s. She reverts to her
bewitching, more volatile form and sets out to break a curse she cast long ago.
If she succeeds, she’ll unleash a powerful force, the likes of which has not
been witnessed in centuries.
Carrie’s
boyfriend Jack (A.K.A. Tree) cannot help feeling unease about the changes he
sees in the woman he loves. When Carrie’s past clashes with the present and
dark magic intoxicates her once again, Tree must take drastic matters into his
own hands and attempt to save Carrie from herself.

 

With
Tree’s help, will Carrie be able to resist the allure of her new powers? Or
will she plunge into the deep end and give into them?

 

Isadora’s POV The year 1630:
I stood in a clearing
deep in the forest with four followers. My fellows: Driscol, Jorsten, Lukas,
and my baby brother Niklas. All of them had on the same dark, hooded cloak I
wore. The torches we held blazed, casting us in a reddish orange glow against the
night sky. The full moon was white, like marble glass. Its rays filtered
through the canopy of trees, throwing layers of beams to the right and left of
us, crisscrossing, as if the Moon Goddess was sheltering our coven from
outsiders. Every cell in my body buzzed with magical energy from what I took
from the earth when I made the elixirs I now carried in my pocket.
“As you know,” I said
to the group, “Margaretha has been accused of causing frost on the crops in a
diabolical plan to destroy her competitors, resulting in crop failure, plague,
and malnutrition. Because of the loss of wine and grain, a period of
hyperinflation ensued. We all know the accusation are false and misleading.
Margaretha did nothing of the sort. The only guilt that weighs upon her shoulders
also lies on ours: practicing control of the weather. But by no means were we
the perpetrators of such stressful times. By no means did our weather- making
practice stimulate the vicious nexus of supernatural beliefs and common
reasoning. Nature is beautiful and ugly, temperamental even. From its bosoms,
it bears wondrous gifts, but her misgivings grow beneath the surface and can
erupt at any time and for any reason.” I paused long enough to look at each one
of my fellows. They nodded in agreement. A fierce, affectionate love for them
warmed my heart. “Margaretha,” I continued, “is innocent of all charges, so are
Simone, Tobias, Ulrich, and my father.”
“Why don’t we save
them?” Lukas asked.
He was the most
adorable one out of the bunch, with his golden hair and eyes to match. However,
he was the youngest and lacked common sense. He favored his emotions over
reasoning. We were lucky to have reached him before he made a foolish mistake.
“Why ask something
you already know the answer to?” Niklas asked. “Your magic is no longer
effective due to your excessive use and possible punishment from the high
counsel of witches.”
“But Isadora still
has her magic,” Lukas countered. He met my eyes with his. There was no malice
in them, only curiosity. “Why won’t you free your father and our friends? You
have the power to do so.”
“My power is waning,”
I told him. “I must conserve it to protect us.”
“But—” Lukas started
to say, but Niklas elbowed him in the side and gestured for him to listen.
“When Jaegar told
Niklas and me about the fate of our father and friends, I wanted to do nothing
more than bring Hell’s fury down upon those involved in these witch hunts.” I
pointed to Niklas. “He can confirm the truth I have just spoken.” Niklas
nodded, and I went on. “Thankfully, Jaegar had the presence of mind to quell my
wrathful state, so I could think clearly on the matter. After he departed to
attend his store, I formulated a plan which would surely guarantee our
survival.”
“An immortality
spell,” Driscol said, a grin crossing his handsome face.
Ah, he possessed many
enticing qualities that had more than once sent me in a tailspin of unvirtuous
thoughts. Countless nights, as I lay skyclad beneath the moonlight, I’d
envisioned straddling his tall, muscular frame and riding him as we paid homage
to our ancestors. Jaegar was a skillful lover, but Driscol was a bit of a
rogue—edgy and a trusted ally. Jaegar, on the other hand, I harbored
reservations for. However, I was drawn to his touch and had given him my heart
before I’d realized I did so. In truth, I knew it would be my undoing. There
was no future for us, yet I gravitated to him like bears to honey.
“Correct,” I said,
sending Driscol a flirty smile. He winked and brushed his brown hair out of his
eyes. They appeared darker green than normal, and a hungry need filled them.
Was it for me or for outwitting our oppressors? My body warmed at the mere
thought of him touching it. “Well . . . theoretically speaking.”
“What do you mean?”
Jorsten asked, shifting his weight, rubbing the stubble on his face. He was the
rugged, beastly type in our group, with his dark, shoulder-length shaggy hair
and dark eyes. He loved his ale and to have a grand time. He never cowered from
a challenge or authority. I admired those qualities about him.
“All spells have a
loophole,” I told them. “I plan on casting a transmigration spell after I see
Jaegar tonight. Once this nightmare is over, we’ll meet here, and I’ll break
the enchantment you’ll be under. If for some reason I run into some trouble,
you my friends will live on, unless you choose to die or some accident befalls
you.”

 

 
 
Rebekkah Ford grew up in a family that dealt
with the paranormal. Her parents’ Charles and Geri Wilhelm were the directors
of the UFO Investigator’s League in Fairfield, Ohio, back in the 1970s. They
also investigated ghost hauntings and Bigfoot sightings in addition to UFO’s.
Growing up in this type of environment and having the passion for writing is
what drove Rebekkah at an early age to write stories dealing with the
paranormal. At one point in her life, she thought she wanted to be a
journalist, and although she enjoyed writing articles, she quickly discovered
her real passion was writing fiction. Her fascination with the paranormal is
what led her to write the ‘Beyond the Eyes’ trilogy and soon to be released new
adult urban fantasy, Tangled Roots. Visit her online and read her blog at

RELEASE DAY BLITZ ~ OCEANS APART by EMMA FITZGERALD

 
 
BOOK:  Oceans Apart
SERIES: Book One – Ocean Dreams
AUTHOR: Emma Fitzgerald
RELEASE DATE:  November 4th, 2014
 
 
 
 
 
 
SYNOPSIS
Nobody ever cares for second place.
 
Talented public relations associate, Annie Scott, knows second place well. She has never been anyone’s priority and is sick of wallowing in self pity, sick of being an option. In a snap decision, she flees her hometown of Nashville for the unknown shores of Sydney, Australia. There she can be whoever she wants to be. Perhaps, the enforced solitude will give her back her identity and kick start a new path in life.
 
Professional surfer, Cam Hart, is home on leave from the Pro Tour, and in desperate need of some rest, relaxation and maybe, a little female company. All extremely achievable at his home in Bronte, Sydney. There will be women willing and waiting for him, of that he has no doubt. He’s never been a relationship kind of guy, and after his embarrassing defeat for the recent World Title, the idea of losing himself in between the sheets for some no-strings fun, definitely has appeal.
 
Fate throws Cam and Annie in each other’s path. Their attraction to each other is immediate. Cam believes he has found the perfect girl to distract him for a few weeks, while Annie is ready to throw caution to the wind and dive into a holiday romance. The two drifting souls soon realise that their chemistry and passion is more than they bargained for.
 
 
Cam has never wanted to entrust his heart to anyone again. But, with Annie, he sees that he may indeed want a future, a change from his impulsive and wild ways. Could Cam actually be capable of such change? Should Annie consider Cam to be more than a summer fling, or will she be bound by her insecurities and not believe him worth the risk? Will she return to her hometown, the same as she left it: alone

EXCERPT

Cam looked down at Annie. She was seeing the view of the beach through fresh eyes and her wonderment made Cam realize what he took for granted. Strands of Annie’s hair had fallen out of her ponytail and were fluttering across her face. Cam moved his hand up and tucked them behind her ear. His touch made goose bumps jump to the surface of her skin. Annie tensed slightly before a warm rush of shivers went through her body. His thumb lightly rubbed over her cheek while the rest of his hand slid around the back of her head. Annie looked up and directly into Cam’s eyes.They stared at each other for what seemed like forever to Annie. He then leaned down slowly and got closer to her, their faces just a few inches from the other. Annie broke eye contact and looked down but Cam placed his other hand on her chin and brought her head back up. He held on to both sides of her face, moved in, and gently kissed her. Softly, sweetly. Then Annie released a sigh, which seemed to give Cam more confidence. His hands moved from her face to around her waist and he pulled her in toward him.Annie’s hands were flat against his chest and she could feel his heart was beating just as fast as her’s. His kiss changed from soft to more intense as their tongues tussled together. Annie was more than willing to match what he gave her.Cam turned Annie around and pushed her against the stone wall bordering the side of the balcony. His hands ran down the sides of Annie’s breasts, which peaked her nipples instantly. If she weren’t already highly turned on, that move would have done it! Just as Cam was about to lift the tank top up and over her head, a loud wolf whistle shook him out of his trance.

Synopsis

Life sometimes gives you a fork in the road and doesn’t give you a hint of which direction to take. There’s no signs, no arrows, no neon lights to help. Luckily, Samantha Beckman chose the right path years ago and escaped from the horrors of her childhood. Along with her best friend, Jess, she lives a wonderful life—happy and carefree just as any twenty six year old should.

Opportunity arises when Samantha lands the job of a lifetime as the COO’s executive assistant for North Carolina’s leading corporation, Weston Company.

Yet, not everything is as it seems. Samantha soon learns Mr. Eye Candy from the elevator isn’t who he says he is, the sexy construction worker isn’t what she thought he was, and don’t forget about her new unwanted and clever stalker. Maybe her life isn’t as simple as she hoped it would be.

Caught in the sights of two men and a stalker, Samantha is forced to decide between flight and fight, fear over strength. Will she be able to take the right path again, or has her luck finally run out?

Author Bio

New independent author, TC Matson, loves to let her characters voices be heard. With a head full of stories, she puts her keyboard through a beating daily. Regularly she visits the solidity of her writing cave, whether it be on the couch, at her desk, or wherever the three year old can’t reach the laptop. Currently she is publishing her debut novel, Mistaken Identity that’s set to storm the web in the fall of 2014.

She is an avid reader and is known to devour books within hours. As a romance junkie, Matson sets her sights to try to find stories that are relatable and real. She’s not a fan of vampires, fairies, or any other out of this world fiction stories. And understanding that love isn’t always instant and full of flowers…her writing mirrors it.

Matson resides in the peaceful piedmont area of North Carolina with her husband and three boys where she stays hopped up on caffeine and chasing children. She has a relatively normal life managing her home, or as she calls it, her looney bin. Chaos is indefinite and a sense of humor is absolutely a must.
