Scars (Marked #2.5) (10 page)

“He pushed me to do it.” The blubbering caused me to be choked up. My body seized up, and my throat tightened. It felt like the start of a panic attack. “Made me do it...I hurt…Oh God!”

“Janice, what did you do? Talk to me, let me help you!” The panic in his tone, the pure amount of worry that came through the phone caused another round of tears to fall. “Is this about what happened at dinner? Babe, I need you to explain.”

Enough about that fucking dinner—this was so much worse than my hurt feelings.

“Fuck that dinner.” I hissed between trying to take in deep enough breaths to calm my frazzled nerves. “Luke, I need you. I need help.”

THE END FOR NOW.

Marked

(#3 Marked Series)

Coming December 2015

Summary:

“With everything I am. I’ll always be by your side.”

It was his truth.

A vow Talan made to the woman who owned him. Because that is what Maya did to him, she held his entire life in her hands. He lived for her smile . . . her happiness.

And now someone has dimmed that light in her eyes with their malice.

Because if one thing was certain, it was that he breathed for her. It was her warmth and love that gave him a home—a purpose and desire for more.

But now that had been threatened. Maya was in pain and that for him was unbearable.

His love for his Bitty has taken him past the breaking point and he’s determined to make those that hurt her pay. He wanted the blood of those that wronged her—almost took her away from him—on his hands.

It was his fault. A fault that he would right no matter what he had to go through.

How does a man so completely in love with his female react to seeing her broken in a hospital bed?

He fights. Goes against all logic and seeks vengeance.

HELL

Coming Late Spring 2015

Summary:

How do I dominate and enamor the woman who’s in charge of signing my paycheck?
 

That’s the one question, Joshua Timbers, has been asking himself since he first stepped foot into his own personal Hell. JT, or Yoshi—as his tormentor likes to call him—has lived a life of hardship and loss since an early age. Being the product of a single parent home, he’s accustomed to hard work and lonely nights.

Seeing the strong man that raised him suffer after the loss of his mother made JT’s own heart harden. All that mattered was seeking instant gratification to curve his enormous appetite.

Until the blessed day he met his fallen angel, Janelle.

Beautiful, and with balls bigger than her entire crew, Janelle is accustomed to the leering looks of men, even though she’s their boss—the owner of Walker Constructions, alongside her brother.

Her beauty is untouchable to everyone, but how far will Joshua go to bend his hellion to his will and make her his?

Ardor:

Warning: 
This erotic novella contains a lot of sex. And I do mean a lot. This is probably the most sex I've ever put into any of my books. Enough so, that my own husband blushed while reading certain scenes. If you are not into strong alphas that are dominating, have a dirty mouth, and use said dirty mouth to lick and suck sweet concoctions off his girl’s body, than it isn't for you. 18+ only please. 
Gregory Thomas has always had an easy life. When it came to his profession, he excelled, gaining himself the position of manager to one of the nation’s biggest wholesale retailers. He was amazing at everything; except when it came to love. The night he found his ex-wife in bed with her gay best friend was the night he decided it wasn't worth it. He was better off just focusing on his career, and nothing more. 
He became content with just being. That is, until Jasmine Velez, his new employee, walked into his store. 
Blunt, and honest to a fault, the woman captivates him against his will. Not only is she gorgeous, but she’s the first woman that doesn't chase him around. Something that makes ignoring her that much harder. The last thing he wants to do is try to have a relationship with a woman again, and he knows that if he allows Jasmine in, that’s exactly what he’s going to go for. 
Except, then he’s faced with the possibility of Jasmine being with someone else, and the choice is taken from him. He’s left with only one option: He needs to make her his. But that might prove harder than he originally expected. 
How the hell does a man seduce a feisty woman who’s gotten tired of waiting for him and is hell bent on not giving into him?

Marking Her (#1 Marked Series):

Talan wants to mark Maya—with more than his ink. The owner of a prominent tattoo shop, he’s used to being hit on by easy women. Though “easy” is not a word associated with Maya when she comes in to support her friend. Flirtation ensues, but what will it take to break the painted man.

Marking Him (#2 Marked Series):

The day Maya Owens walked into his tattoo shop, everything Talan knew changed.
After officially starting a relationship, he is now having trouble managing Maya—a woman who consumes every part of his being and owns his heart. His need to control her and everything around her drives Maya insane, but he has good reason. After all, Janice is still lurking around and she has a vendetta against his Bitty.
In no time Talan wants more, and it’s faster than Maya can handle; things begin to get complicated.
Months of frustration and want take them for a ride neither wanted, but now yearn for. Will they make it through the turbulence? And if so, at what cost?

Teasing Hands:

The hands kneading my flesh into submission are strong, yet gentle. Rough yet tender. His talented fingers dig deep into my naked flesh applying the perfect amount of pressure, bending me to his will. 
His will which now entices me and burns itself into my every pore, ruining me for any other’s touch—but his. Once a stubborn and independent woman, I find myself wanting to submit; to give him all that I am and power over everything I can be with his guidance.
Camden Daniels has a voice full of sin built to destroy my mental walls. The dulcet sonnet of his tone controls my resolve with but a single utterance from his lips:
"Undress for me."

Taunting Lips (A Teasing Hands Accompaniment):

Her body was my greatest damnation. 
I craved her and the way she came alive beneath my fingers. The way she’d let me force my will upon her tender flesh, so breakable and trusting—open to all I could teach her. 
The moment I laid eyes on my defenseless gatita, everything within me shifted. Everything about her sang to my most basic of needs. She made me want things that never mattered before, that had no place within my solitary existence.
Amanda let me take. She let me gorge myself on all she had to give and never complained. I became addicted to her. 
I was supposed to be the one in control. The master of our time together.
But, this was never my game. 
I was never in charge. 
And now, I’m left dealing with the consequences of everything. My hunger, denial...the resentment.
“I hate that I love you.”
