ABOUT THE WOMEN IN OUR BOOKS:

If you haven't read Chase's Love that introduces Rachel and Chase to everyone...

Rachel wasn't looking for love. As a matter of fact, she'd written off men altogether as the last thing she wanted in her life was another controlling jerk.  At least that was the plan until the guy of her dreams walked into her life. 

 

Chase Jamison had just got out of the military and was working toward expanding the business he started with his brother and best friends.  He had a goal and he was focused.  Never in a million years did Chase expect to find the sexiest woman on earth at his club. 

 

As Chase and Rachel come together and try to find happiness, one question remains. Will Rachel's ex-lover step in and keep the pair from finding true love?

 

Then we introduced Allison and let's just say she can get herself in some dilemma's...

Who said “Two's company Three's a crowd?”

                                            In France, ménage a trios means 'household of three'.

Society’s Child

Allison Cruze has always been the ideal daughter every power couple wanted: beautiful, college graduate, successful and primed to take over the family business.  Her parents gave her the best of everything including a husband; all she had to do was follow the rules and she would be set for life. Her parents know what it is like to be in an arranged marriage after all it has worked for them all these years

Two of a Kind

Mike Cross and Drake Jamison were best friends through the military and now in a very successful business.  They learned early in their military careers to depend on each other and they also learned that they loved to share the same woman.  Knowing this was not the traditional relationship they searched for the right woman. A woman that was strong, beautiful, talented and wasn’t afraid of going against the norm. As they watched their best friend and brother fall in love they realized that they were ready to settle down and they knew just the woman they wanted – Allison Cruze.
Now can they devise a plan to get Allison to fall in love with them? To trust them enough to go against her parent’s wishes and against the society that she grew up in? Can they turn them into  a Three of a Kind?

Once you have laughed, cried and cheered on these two women we moved on to Toni!

We both are extremely proud parents of our boys and have amazing people in our lives to support us as we go out on the adventures of life.  Mollie has an amazing, smart and energetic little boy and two wonderful precious puppies that fulfill the majority of her life and like her I have a two amazing young men but I have five puppies and a husband to consume my time.  In addition to editing and co-authoring books Mollie and I have a small home business that started as a crazy hobby, www.seamrippers2012.blogspot.com .

BOUND BY SEDUCTION by Kharisma Rhayne

Thanks so much for being a stop on the Bound Tour.

Ok, so how about a little more blabbing today? Don’t worry, I’ve not forgotten about the excerpt for Jacob & Isa. It’s still coming for you on a stop.

Let’s turn those tables away from my last chatty post. So, here’s what most women really would enjoy doing, in nor order, of course.

--School Girl: Yes guys, many women actually think about the naughty student and the spanking from the teacher. Here is your chance to give her what she wants and be dominant while doing it.

--Domination: There’s nothing quite like a dominating man. We all want to be women from time to time. So, this is your chance to let that testosterone run wild. Push us back into a wall, make us beg for it—tease us unmercifully.

--Voyeur: Let me get this out of the way. The often said “women are not visual” is most times very far from the truth. Chances are that she loves watching as much as you do.

--Forced Seduction: I want to stress on this, that while many women crave this as it’s an excuse to be the bad girl that so many really want to be—CONCENT is a must. Also, there needs to be a safe word no matter how non-extreme you feel things will be. Safely done…this can be great fun for both partners.

--Domination: She wants to manhandle you. It gives the relationship new perspective. Yes, you’re her big, strong knight in shining armor—but imagine how turned on she feels when she’s in control of that.

--Dancer: Many women have the dancer fantasy just as much as men do. It’s the thought of having any man look at you with such desire….knowing that you’re the one in control of what he is wanting…you’re the one making him hard.

--Threesome: It seems to be the thing to do. As more and more people are getting comfortable with their own sexuality, the idea of another woman joining in with your female and you isn’t all that unheard of. You never know, this may be on her fantasy wish list and she’s afraid to ask.

--Threesome: While we’re talking in threes—one woman and two men. This is so hot to many women. Sometimes the desires are easy enough—wanting the attention of two men…maybe one kissing while the other penetrates. This fantasy isn’t always about double penetration.

--Stranger Danger: The thrill of sex with a stranger. Hot! Many women would never act this out, but oh the fun the fantasy entails. To make it hotter, don’t tell him your name and don’t ask for his. In an instance like this, a female can be however she wants to be with no one ever being any the wiser. Maybe she’s a straight-laced business woman. This night, she can be a rock groupie and leave refined sex at home.

--On Exhibit: Most women put on a disgusted face when a man mentions taking naked pictures or filming their own sex. In reality, many women want to have that sexy feeling of being on display. Something like this, allowing her to act out the bad girl in her, may go great with the forced seduction mention.

Isn’t it nice to see how many fantasies men and women really do have in common? So my questions is: What are you waiting for? Try some out.
I’ll see everyone at the next stop tomorrow.

PART 5: JACOB & ISA

Jacob liked Isa, maybe even loved her, but if she couldn’t accept everything, it was time for them to both move on.  Would she accept what he was about to tell her?

Picture Challenge

I recently took on a challenge to take the pictures above and make them into a short story with 1000-2500 words.  I did this story in about 45 minutes so I hope you like it.

Alexis was walking through the gallery with her best friend Markas looking at the most amazing group of pictures ever, as she approached one it took her breath away, grasping Markas arm “Look at that anguish on his face how the artist did that is amazing, I wished I could do something like this”

“I know the old man screaming is wonderful, the details in the eyes being shut, the scruffiness of the beard just blows my mind.” Markas was not only her best friend but the only man she could count on in her life.  “Hey did you notice the two Mr. Yummies over there” with a brief nod to the right Alexis peeped around him.

“Yes they are yummy but darling I had to disappoint you they are straight as an arrow.” Alexis laughed teasing Markas.

“I know silly, I was talking about you, the one in the dark purple shirt is all about watching you” Markas laughed as Alexis swatted his arm.

Ignoring his comment she slowly made her way around the corner to another picture, standing there taking in all the details of the old Indian woman, how her eyes again told the story of anguish and pain. Alexis was so deep in thought she didn’t hear someone walk up, thinking it was Markas she reached over and patted his stomach.  That was when she instantly realized that those hard as rock abs didn’t belong to her best friend; shocked she spun and was face to chest with the sexiest man she had ever met.

“Oh crap I am so sorry, I thought” pausing to look up to his face “I thought” well she stammered as their eyes locked “I thought you were my friend Markas” bowing her head she mustered up the courage to apologize “I am so sorry” as she started to move away. She watched as he slowly reached out and touched her hand.

“I am sorry to startle you” pausing to gently hold her hand in his palm moving his fingers along hers “My name in Jasper Kline, it has been a pleasure to meet you.” He looked down at her holding her undivided attention; she was so enamored and unable to speak. Thankfully her best friend saved the day again as usual.

“Hey there I was wondering where you got off to” reaching out offering his hand to shake “I’m Markas and who would you be?” Alexis held the attention of the man holding her hand the entire time Markas spoke to him. That is when the other gentleman walked up and patted him on the back.

“Jasper I see you have met a beautiful lady” taking her hand from Jasper’s “It’s nice to meet you and your friend here, I am Jackson Kline and who might you be?”

Alexis was finally woken from the spell she was under, shaking her head “Sorry I’m Alexis it’s nice to meet you.” Turning to Markas quickly to explain what happened she noticed he was smiling like a hyena at a buffet.

“I turned to talk to you and smacked him in the stomach, you are always disappearing on me” she swatted Markas’ arm “I wanted to show you this Indian woman she is wonderful the way her eyes reach to you.” Markas nodded in agreement but noticed that Jasper still hadn’t stopped staring at his best friend.

****

Markas decided that he wanted to experiment a little with the man looking at his best friend like he could eat her for lunch. “Have any of you seen this photo?” reaching out to direct them to the photo of a woman sitting with her back to you, nothing but a burlap wrap on, hair a mess and petals surrounding her.

Alexis looked at the pictured getting shivers up and down her spine “Wow that is completely on different spectrums it could be so many different things.” Looking at the picture she could see a woman sitting down in a room darkened at dusk waiting for her master to join her.

Markas agreed as he explained what he thought “I think this woman is waiting for someone to join her, the way her fingers are softly touching the ground, and the mussed hair” pausing “It could be sexual or just pitiful.”

Markas knew he planted a seed and had every intention to watch that grow “Hey check out this next one the artist did a great job intermixing these photographs it leads you down path that has a fork in the road but it’s up to you to determine the path you take.” Walking off he pointed to the picture of an axe placed in some wood where it had been used.

Alexis understood completely where Markas was going with this and was going to thoroughly kick the shit out of him later at the apartment. Looking over to Jasper she smiled “Sorry he is a pervert what can I say.” Shrugging she walked over and looked at the next photograph and smiled slightly knowing that Markas was completely right again, damn she hated to admit it when he was because he was impossible to live with.

****

Jasper walked slowly next to this woman that has taken his breath away “Don’t apologize for his comment because I completely agree, just like the last two the photographer is allowing you to take the path, the cross over his fingers allow you to choose the path” he looked over at the next one that was just around the pillar “she is using the umbrellas here to clear the air and purify it before moving to the next series” Alexis appeared to be in awe of this man not only was he sexy but he had a brain, mentally pumping her fist up and down she walked up next to him.

“Ok I can see that but then” she turned around to the next series “This one here with the flowers it could represent the cleansing results, the blooming after the rain.” Alexis reached out and touched his arm and felt the skin shiver under her touch.

Taking a deep breath he has never had a reaction like this from a woman “True and the only color being the flower could represent a new blooming, but if you on that path what does the rope stand for?” looking at the opposite side of the pillar she walked around and stared at it. Shivers running up and down her back, thoughts bursting in her mind and in each thought Jasper played the main character.

Inhaling deeply Alexis looked up at Jasper “Well that would depend on how it is taken” Jasper saw his only chance and leaned in slowly pressing his lips to hers as he felt the electricity burst around them like flashing lights. That is when he reached out and pulled her closely deepening the kiss as he felt her open for him.  He moved his arms around her pulling her closely not caring that this most intimate kiss was being watched by several people. He felt her softness melt into him pressing closer and reaching out to him.

Unable to stop himself he kept ahold of her even after he kissed her breathless, never wanting this moment in time to end they were interrupted by chuckling, as they turned to look at Markas and Jackson standing there looking at them both smiling like loons.

Jackson and Markas stood back and looked at Jasper and Alexis “Well I guess the artist knew what he was doing by ending the show with the marbles, it does appear my new friend that these two lost theirs” Markas’ comment brought lau

Can an arranged marriage lead to love?

Recent college graduate Gabriella has finally married the man of her dreams, the older, charismatic attorney Lorenzo Martinez. She's had a crush on him for as long as she can remember and always imagined they'd one day find their happily ever after. Unfortunately, they enter into a union arranged by their fathers.

Lorenzo is charming, protective, and loyal to his crime lord father Carlo. When Carlo asks Lorenzo to marry Gabriella he jumps at the opportunity. He's been drawn to her for many years and knows by marrying her he's helping to protect her father.

Gabby is resentful and won't be Lorenzo's charity case. But sparks fly and the couple soon gives into their desire, realizing they were meant to be together.

What happens when Carlo's enemies threaten their future? Will someone get caught in the crossfire?

Excerpt

Lorenzo walked up the porch steps, turning to stare at her. "Are you coming, Gabriella?" No one but Lorenzo and his father called her by her full name. She liked when Lorenzo said it. He'd always made it sound so formal and sexy.

These were the first words he had spoken to her since they left the courthouse. They were married in the chambers of the prestigious Judge John Cartwright. He'd been a family friend of the Martinezes for many years. He was their go-to man whenever they needed something done fast and legally. Well, legal in her new father-in-law's eyes anyway.

She hurried up the steps and followed Lorenzo inside their new home. It was built within a matter of months after she'd agreed to marry him. Carlo wanted them to have their privacy, but he also wanted to keep them close. He didn't trust she'd hold up her end of the bargain, and keeping her on the property was the best way to ensure she wouldn't run.

It was silly, really. How could she run from a family like this? They had ties all over the world. There wasn't any place she could escape to that they wouldn't know about. She was a woman of her word. She said she would marry Lorenzo and she did. She'd find a way to cope. She always had.

Lorenzo pulled his jacket off, poured himself a scotch, and then loosened his tie. "Would you like a drink?"

"No, thank you," she said.

Most brides would be dancing the night away and drinking champagne by this point in their wedding night. She didn't think that was part of Lorenzo's plan.

"I didn't think you'd go through with it." He sipped the amber colored liquid as he looked her over.

"I said I would."

"I know, but when push actually came to shove, I thought you'd run."

"You don't know me that well," she said. "I don't run."

"Good." He smirked as he put the glass to his lips.

Gabby couldn't take her eyes away from those lips. She'd never had the pleasure of having them on her own. Judge Cartwright hadn't asked him to kiss his bride. She hated herself for thinking about him that way.

"You could've stopped this. Why didn't you?" she asked.

As they stood in front of the judge, she kept hoping he'd put an end to the charade and stop the wedding. It didn't make sense to her why he had agreed to marry her. She didn't have a choice. Her father's gambling debts made sure of that. But she didn't understand why he'd allowed things to get as far as they had.

"I was just as trapped as you were." He downed the rest of his scotch.

She didn't believe that. She knew he respected his dad, but she didn't get why he wouldn't have put his foot down and said no to such a life-altering decision.

"You could've told your father no from the beginning. Why would you agree to marry someone if you didn't have to?"

"Look." He shook his head. "It's done now. We're going to have to make the best of it."

"Make the best of it?" She plopped down on the leather sofa. "I'm twenty-two years old. I just graduated from college, and you want me to make the best of it?"

"I know this isn't what you might have wanted, but it is what it is. You agreed, and now it's done. You can't go back on it now. My father won't forgive that."

Blurb:

When you’re the last man standing…

 Not only was Logan Delaney the last of his siblings to remain unmarried and unsettled, his entire family believed he’d never find a wife. The baby of eight, he’s been dubbed an irresponsible player and told he’ll never amount to a hill of beans. And at one time, Logan may have been okay with those descriptions, but no more. On a quest to prove his worth, he’s spent the entire summer learning the family business, staying in at night, and saving his money. And if his family would stop meddling in his affairs and trying to dictate who he should and shouldn’t be seeing, he might just show them he’s found the one, Lizzy Jenkins.

And have a bad reputation to blame…

Elizabeth Jenkins had always known Logan Delaney existed, but he’d never so much as turned one glance her way until she handed him his butt on a silver platter in three sentences or less over the phone. After that it seemed at every turn there he was and the more she resisted the heat building between them, the bigger the fire got. Until his family interfered. And why wouldn’t they? Between Logan’s legacy and her baggage, they were a disaster in the making.

Can you be trusted with a fragile heart?

But Logan doesn’t run when he finds out about Colby. In fact, he embraces Lizzy’s special needs son and defies the advice of everyone urging him to leave Lizzy alone. But after one moment of weakness, Logan finds himself knee deep in a marriage complete with the little boy whose father bailed before his birth and Lizzy’s grandfather, who needs constant care as well.  Then there's the man who just might be the demise of it all.

Excerpts, please choose one:

Excerpt 1:

With a mixture of emotions swirling through her, Lizzy watched the same storm overtake Logan’s features which was brewing inside her. A veritable lightning bolt passed between them as soon as he’d touched her. She knew she’d always been attracted to Logan, but the instant heat still scalding her skin from his fingers left her unsettled. It was but a mere couple of hours prior she was trying to convince herself she could do with some sort of quickie sexual gratification, although she’d admitted it could never be with Logan, and now she wanted nothing more and the door to her emotions was wide open leaving her vulnerable and believing maybe they could have both. And just as she was trying to tell herself to stop trusting the lies her deprived body was concocting, Logan decided to try to convince her he might be interested in more as well.

 

Where was Logan the player and who was the imposter sitting across the table from her who could probably talk her right into his bed with one sentence or less and keep her coming back heartbreak on the horizon or not?

 

As her pulse slowed a bit, she turned to look at Colby and reminded herself why she couldn’t be playing horizontal Twister with anyone let alone Logan. And she sure couldn’t go letting Colby think there was a reason to get too comfortable around him. He seemed to like Logan and the Delaney herd of kids and she didn’t want him getting his feelings hurt because she couldn’t control her hormonal urges. What if she made the mistake of screwing Logan’s brains out, things didn’t work out, and that made it awkward to be coming around anymore? This was the first time anyone had really taken them in and welcomed them unconditionally and she didn’t want to rob Colby of it.

Excerpt 2:

Lizzy watched Colby make yet one more circle around the living room with his arms spread and sighed in frustration. He was oblivious to the disruption he was causing which only added to her exacerbation with the situation. How could she possibly be angry with him when he didn’t grasp the concept of time or what it did to her nerves when his unscheduled moments of innocence hampered what should have been her scheduled life? And it surely wasn’t his fault he was the way he was or that he’d even been conceived at all for that matter. No, his conception was wholly her fault and she’d been paying for it for nearly six years. Alone.

But the truth was, no matter how many times she kicked herself for believing whispered promises in a back seat and guilt swamped her even though medical science would argue it was nothing she’d done to make him this way, Lizzy loved her little boy more than life itself. There were days, though.

Like today, she wanted to sit and cry until there were no more tears left then cry some more. Rarely was it, though, Lizzy had time for such frivolities as tears. What time wasn’t taken up with Colby’s care was spent at her job as the assistant officer manager at the farmer’s market, somewhere she had no intention of working a lifetime and which brought her to yet another responsibility on her list. School. When she wasn’t working or caregiving, Lizzy was an almost full-time student and watched the sun rise on a new day without sleep having studied all night more than once. In a word, she was not only exhausted physically, she was just plain tired. Never in her life would she have imagined being twenty-three and feeling so defeated.

What she wouldn’t give for one night of freedom. One night filled with beers and dancing. Maybe even some hot sweaty sex in the form of someone who would disappear the next day and not look back. Well, that and not leave her knocked up. Alone was fine, with another baby to tend to by herself, not so much.

Of course she had no idea how to go about this stranger for one night sex. The closest she came to any man was when they made deliveries to the market or they drove their grandfathers to the Senior Center for bingo and hung around waiting for the old farts to get tired of dotting cards and fighting the caller over what had come out as B-five but was mistook for B-nine because someone’s hearing aid battery was running low. And although they all knew

her fairly well, they avoided her for the most part because of which grandfather she dropped off at bingo. Thank God none of them knew Michael Silcox was the one who’d left her high and dry with a special needs child, not exactly prime bait to fish with in the pond of hooking up. Her name associated with his would only add fuel to the stay away from Lizzy fire as his family owned most of Georgetown.

Bio:

HEY ALL!!!!!!!

Hey everyone, I am sorry it has taken me so long to get back on here so let me catch up everyone up on a few things that have happened since the new year.

Well the flu happened to me and Mollie both we have been sick but working through it, Mollie has been hitting the keys hard editing Teaching Summer and has Dylann's Long Road Home coming up fast.  Also our publisher has Toni's Heartbeat in the editing cue so that will be coming out really soon, can't wait to wrap up the Lion's Den collection. 

As for works in progress we have on tap our short story from Rebel Ink Press Dad's Plan Anthology and we are turning that into a great paranormal shifter book.  I am super excited about this story simply because this will be our first shifter book.  So please hang in there and we can't wait to hear what everyone has to say once we get it finished.

Thanks everyone!!
