<p><strong>Excerpt </strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>So, the new concierge, his name was Hugo, and he was tall and skinny—far too skinny if you asked me—with a head full of bouncy blonde curls, thick, dark eyebrows over deep-set eyes, sharp cheekbones and plump, puffy lips. He seemed like a nice bloke, stood up for himself. Finn moaned about him, saying something about the guy being great at his job but an untidy bugger. The floor around his desk was always a disaster zone of scrunched-up pieces of paper and torn-up leaflets. Finn wasn’t wrong. I could see stuff on the floor from where I was, while Hugo gave directions to some guests, arms flailing, his phone miraculously still pinched between his cheek and his shoulder. He smiled at something. I smiled too. He had that kind of smile.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Dropping my cigarette on the ground, I squashed out the embers with my shoe. So sue me. I was French. Had grown up there, then moved to England with my mum in my teens and had to adapt to being Ben instead of Benjamin after my arsehole dad kicked us out. I didn’t take shit from anyone.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>It hadn’t been bad. Just…my life hadn’t become quite what I’d expected.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I strode back through the lobby with confidence, smiling politely at our maître d’hôtel, who pursed their lips at me. Yeah, I was a dick. I had tomato juice down my front, and my apron was covered in cooking fat. I looked a state and shouldn’t be anywhere near paying guests. I knew it. Mabel knew it. I actually liked them. A lot. Today, our super-efficient restaurant leader rocked a shocking-pink dress and sky-high heels with a face full of make-up. Some days, they presented as a stunning bloke, other days, like today, they wouldn’t look out of place on the cover of a women’s fashion magazine, and they knew it too.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Looking good, Mabs.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Oh shut it, Ben.” They grinned and blushed while giving me a full head-to-toe inspection. “You really need to go change, babes. Honestly, you’ll give Mark a heart attack.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“You mean I look that good?” I laughed, enjoying another of Mabel’s many smirks.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“You look like shit, babes. How are you ever going to get laid when you walk around looking like someone has dragged you face down through the walk-in fridge?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Bah,” I huffed and left them to it. I washed my hands and ripped off my apron, dropping it in the laundry chute and grabbing a fresh one from the shelf before glancing over the line. All under control. Nobody panicking.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Watch the liquid,” I commented to one of the trainees as they flipped a tray of mushrooms into a serving dish and splattered juice all over the hot plate. Yeah. Newbies. They had to learn, usually the hard way, and there wasn’t much I could do other than show them how to do it the right way, remind them to watch the bloody timings, let them make mistakes and hope they didn’t kill themselves in the process.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I looked down at my own battered hands. I had too many scars to count. Cuts, burns. My hands had survived years of being battered on the rugby pitch, which was nothing compared to getting fingers stuck in blenders and close encounters with sharp knives.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I blamed my mum, getting me into cooking when my hand-eye coordination had been blasted to hell. I had to concentrate, not be stressed, keep focused for my mind to function the way it was supposed to, not that it ever did, and this was a working kitchen. My entire shift was always one huge, stress-induced, disaster-prone trial.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“You all right?” Mark appeared next to me in his immaculate suit, his hair up in a tidy man-bun and eyebrows tightly knitted. Arms crossed, he surveyed our little world. Him and me, we were brothers, partners in crime, a duo of idiots who should have known better, but we worked well together, and there was nowhere else I would rather work than here with him by my side.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“All good,” I said, mirroring his pose.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“The boys out there,” he said conspiratorially. “They’re placing bets on who can get a hook-up with Hugo. There’s good money involved.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Hell.” I sighed, rolled my eyes harder than Mabel. “He gay then?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“I went over and asked him. He just laughed, so yeah. Between you and me, he lives with his long-term boyfriend down in Canary Wharf, so I think all the boys are barking up a dead tree, but I’m not going to tell them. Are you?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Nah.” I laughed. I wasn’t. As long as they did their job and made my food look good, I wasn’t getting involved with anything. And anyway, this Hugo? None of my business.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Rolling up my sleeves, I plonked my arse down by my little office set-up and logged into the laptop. I had orders to sign off, menus to plan, things to do. A life to live. Mark shook his head and disappeared back out to the restaurant.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>This Hugo? God help him.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;"><strong>About the Author</strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Sophia Soames should be old enough to know better but has barely grown up. She has been known to fangirl over TV shows, has fallen in and out of love with more popstars than she dares to remember, and has a ridiculously high-flying (un-)glamourous real-life job.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Her long-suffering husband just laughs at her antics. Their children are feral. The dogs are too.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">She lives in a creaky old house in rural London, although her heart is still in her native Scandinavia.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Discovering that the stories in her head make sense when written down has been part of the most hilarious midlife crisis ever, and she hopes it may long continue.</p>

<p>Welcome to Crescent Hills, where beauty only runs so deep. Scandal lurks below the surface behind the McMansions, designer clothes, and fancy cars. When the town is shaken by the disappearance of journalist Ivy Fields, whispers of betrayal and intrigue begin to unravel the threads binding its elite residents.<br /><br />Audrey, haunted by her own past, is determined to unveil the truth behind Ivy's disappearance, hoping to find closure she never received. Amidst this, Marcia grapples with the confines of her seemingly perfect marriage, leading her down a dangerous path. At the same time, a young Ben navigates the complexities of love, friendship, and societal expectations. Meanwhile, Cassandra's life gets disrupted by a ghost from her past.<br /><br />As Crescent Hills residents confront their own dilemmas, the shadow of Ivy's disappearance looms large. For behind every beautiful façade, there are secrets yearning to be exposed, and as they say, the past always finds a way to catch up.</p>

<p><strong>Excerpt </strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Birds screeched when Audrey opened her eyes. She yawned, then stretched. Her back hairs stuck up. Audrey might’ve been lying on the seating of the pontoon boat, but black no longer veiled the sky. Instead, sunlight beamed from the cloudless sky. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Audrey scanned the boat. Ivy was gone. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Dread filled Audrey’s insides—she couldn’t think of one logical explanation as to why Ivy would no longer be on the boat. Audrey did the only thing she could and leaned up against the edge of the boat and peered into the water. No sign of Ivy. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Something vibrated from her jean’s right pocket and she whipped out her iPhone. Sawyer was calling her. “Hello?” Audrey asked. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“I wanted to see how you were doing this morning.” Sawyer chuckled. “And don’t worry. I’m not mad you decided to have a fun night with Ivy. Just glad Ivy texted me about you staying over at her place. Most people wouldn’t be so courteous.” </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“I’m still on the boat,” Audrey blurted. “And Ivy is nowhere to be found.” </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Come again?”<br />“We never went back to shore and had dinner.”<br />“How much did you drink last night?”<br />“Just one gin and tonic.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>A folded piece of paper on the driver’s seat of the boat caught Audrey’s attention, and she rushed over to it. “I’m sorry, but I’ve gotta go,” she said. “I’ll be home as soon as I can.” </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Audrey pressed END before shoving her iPhone back into her pocket. Then, she unfolded the note and read it. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p><em>Dear Audrey,</em><em><br /></em><em>I’m so sorry to have to tell you this, but I’ve been very unhappy </em></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p><em>with my life for a long time, and I’ve decided to end my life.</em></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p><em>I know my suicide will probably come as a shock to you. However, </em></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p><em>please always think of me fondly. </em></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p><em>Love, </em></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p><em>Ivy </em></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Audrey crumbled the note and it fell onto the floor of the boat. After that, she screamed. Tragedies were supposed to be something that she watched on the news, not witnessed first- hand. But no explanation was necessary about how cruel life was and the universe often had a twisted sense of humor. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Tears welled in Audrey’s eyes. Nothing could’ve prepared her for this moment, because she wanted to cry. And cry. And cry. Ivy couldn’t be dead; she was only thirty-seven. So, she still had a little more than half her life left. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Ivy was in trouble and Audrey hadn’t seen the signs. So, </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Audrey’d never forgive herself for Ivy’s suicide. Audrey had failed Ivy, and she couldn’t fathom how she’d continue with life. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Audrey’s throat tightened. Perhaps Ivy’s death was only meant to resemble a suicide and was really murder. There was a reason people always touted the saying about life being stranger than fiction. Audrey shook her head. Yeah, that had to have been it. Ivy <em>couldn’t </em>have been desperate enough to commit suicide. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The only thing Audrey was certain of was that Ivy was nowhere to be found. And that was why she’d get to the bottom of Ivy’s death. Whether someone murdered Ivy or Ivy actually committed suicide, there <em>had </em>to be more to the story. </p>

<p><strong>Blurb </strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Hachi is an unstoppable Tau-born juggernaut on the battlefield with her golem Araine. The two wake up in a cryopod after a thousand-year sleep to find the world she knew is gone, and the others who came with her are nowhere to be found. Determined to find others like themselves, Hachi and Araine embark on their search, encountering a human scavenger named Sara, and a treasure hunt through space ensues.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>While Hachi is confident in her abilities as a warrior, she is insecure and unsure of herself in social interactions. She is forced to deal with not only the loss of her own kind, but with people she doesn’t know, and more than she could have expected. Throughout their adventure, Hachi must confront her vulnerabilities, even as she battles against seemingly insurmountable obstacles.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>With the help of Araine and Sara, Hachi must not only find others like herself but also discover the truth about the new world she finds herself in, regardless of what tragedies occurred and what may yet still befall them.</p>

<p><strong>Blurb </strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>One year after the events of book 2, Hachi is trying her best to help lead the new world she created, even as her relationship with Araine is strained. A new series of challenges, both emotional and physical awaits her.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>A celebration gone awry, a mission to the belts to rout out the last remnants of the old regime, and ongoing struggles with relationships are now just par for the course for Hachi and Araine. Along with the help of Gemini, Scarlet, Darius, and KAD their goal is to bring safety and a lasting peace to the people of Sol.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>But the clock is ticking as Amrita has warned her. Will any of Hachi’s actions matter once they face off against entities known only as the First Children. Unfamiliar beings from Draco that rival the abilities of the Founders and want nothing more than to consume all life within Sol.</p>

<p><strong>Blurb</strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Micah Rose is ready for a clean slate. He might’ve messed up his rookie year with the Miami Piranhas, but being traded to the Condors is the best way to put all that behind him.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p> The Condors are rebuilding, too. New owner. New coach. New players. New rules.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p> But one rule hasn’t changed: <em>don’t marry your ex-best friend in Vegas.</em></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Beckett West isn't looking forward to seeing Micah again. Back in college, they shared not only a ride-or-die friendship, but a ton of unresolved sexual tension.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>That was before Micah pushed him away.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Still, Beck’s never forgotten their last drunken night together. Not only did they finally confess their feelings, they both promised if the day ever came when they played on the same team again, they wouldn't waste the chance to be together.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>But Beck didn’t expect that day to ever be <em>this </em>day.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>He certainly didn’t expect to wake up in bed with Micah’s ring on his finger.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Or that he’d never want to take it off.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>But it turns out the only man for him is the one man he could never forget. The one man he’s always wanted to make his.</p>

<p><strong>Excerpt</strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“There you go.” Scott sounded smug. “So you’re gonna let yourself have this. You’ve made amends. You’ve apologized to Beck. You’re gonna be his friend.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Yeah.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p><em>What if I want to be more than just his friend?</em></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>But Micah didn’t say it. He probably didn’t need to, the way Scott kept hinting that there might be something more between them.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Listen, you’re a good friend, so just be that guy I know who’s under those ridiculous suits, and you’re gonna be just fine.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“My suits aren’t ridiculous.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>They were <em>extra </em>not ridiculous, especially after he’d worn his new camel plaid suit the other day, on the way to Toronto, and he’d been far too aware of Beck’s eyes skimming over him when they’d been boarding the plane.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>He looked good, he <em>knew </em>he looked good, and it had felt satisfying that Beck had been forced to acknowledge just how good.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Especially when he was still so caught on how <em>Beck </em>looked.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Son, they’re ridiculous, but it’s alright. It’s your thing. I’m just glad you’re expressing yourself now.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Scott didn’t have to say it bluntly because Micah already knew what he really meant: <em>you’re not too afraid to express yourself anymore.</em></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Thanks.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“So you’re gonna fix things, huh?” Scott continued.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“I apologized, yeah. And he said he wanted to be friends again.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“What’re you gonna do about that?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Geez, <em>Dad</em>, ask an easier question,” Micah retorted.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Scott laughed. “And here Asa thinks our only kid is Beau.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“You’ve got an entire team of kids,” Micah pointed out.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Plus one more.” Scott’s voice was warm.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>And while Micah had known he wouldn’t lose Scott’s friendship—or Asa’s respect—when he left Miami, it felt good to hear it, too.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Clearing his throat, Micah tried to change the subject. “What do you mean, what am I gonna do about it? We’re friends.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Friends spend time with each other, Micah. You gonna invite him over? Meet him out for a drink? How about what you’re gonna tell him? He’s going to want to know why you left Miami.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“I don’t know. Some of those, I guess.” Micah could admit he hadn’t thought that far. He’d been pretty stuck on just getting the apology out—and hoping Beck listened to it.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“You should tell him.” Scott’s voice was knowing.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“About what happened with Sebastian? Hell no.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>He knew how he’d feel if Beck told <em>him</em> about some guy he’d been attracted to. Because it had happened more than once, and Micah had hated it every single time, even though he’d refused to do anything about it.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“You can’t just talk to me, no matter how much it warms my heart to know you don’t think I’m some old, washed-up, uncool dude,” Scott teased.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Fine, fine, I’ll talk to him about some of it.” <em>Not about Sebastian, and why we didn’t get along. That’s way too far.</em></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Invite him over for a beer,” Scott suggested, “and then when he’s there, get close on the couch—”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Enough!” Micah yelped. He stood and started pacing. How had being <em>just </em>friends with Beck been so easy before and now felt impossible? “You’re supposed to be helping me be his <em>friend</em>.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Come on, Rose, we both know that’s not what you really want.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“It’s all I’m gonna get.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“It’s all you’re gonna get if you don’t make it clear you’re crazy about him.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Maybe I’m not.” He knew how stubborn he sounded.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Scott scoffed. “Don’t lie to me. Especially not when it’s so freaking obvious. You’re absolutely head over heels for that guy. Don’t do either of you the disservice of pretending otherwise.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“He probably doesn’t—”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>But Micah didn’t get the rest of it out.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“You’re never gonna know if you don’t say anything. But, that said,” Scott said with a chuckle, “maybe try to be friends for a little while first. Get used to each other again.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Thanks, Dad.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“You keep calling me that like I’m gonna hate it, and so far, not so much,” Scott teased.</p>

<p><strong>Blurb </strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>A graduate student and an archivist work together to fight a god.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Fall, 1969. Ulysses Lenkov should be working on his dissertation. Instead, he's developing an unlucrative sideline in helping ghosts and hapless magic users. But when his clients start leaving town suddenly—or turning up dead—he starts to worry there's something afoot that’s worse than an unavenged death or incipient insanity. His investigation begins with the last word on everyone's lips before they vanish: the mysterious Dionysus.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Sam Sterling is an archivist who recently moved back to Madison to be closer to the family he's not too sure he likes. But his peaceful days of teaching library students, creating finding aids, and community theater come to an end when the magnetic, mistrustful Ulysses turns up with a warning. There's a god coming, and it looks like it's coming for Sam.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Soon the two are helping each other through demon attacks, discovering the unsavory history of Sam's family, and falling in love as they race to find a solution. But as the year draws to a close, they'll face a deadly showdown as they try to save Sam—and the city itself.</p>

<p><strong>Excerpt </strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“What did you want with it, anyway? There’s nothing of value in there. Just books. I would have let you look at any of them if you’d asked.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Ulysses took a deliberate step closer, and Sam found himself retreating until he fetched up against the metal of the door. “Would you have, though? If I’d come to you and said I needed to investigate why the spirit of the stacks seems interested in you?” Ulysses took another step forward. They were standing far closer than people generally did, and it was both thrilling and terrifying. “Because a lot of people might find a request like that peculiar.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Sam’s mouth went dry. They were practically chest to chest now. “I—Yes!” he said, and tried to pull himself up to his full height. “I don’t know what any of that means.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Ulysses nodded. “Then this is going to be weird for you,” he muttered, voice rough and practically in Sam’s ear, and grabbed him. He opened the lock and pushed Sam through the door before he could protest.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>On his desk were a white candle and a small, heart-shaped piece of blond wood that held a pencil in a vertical position. Beneath it was a sheet of typing paper, blank except for a cursive letter D in the center of the page. “What’s all this?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“The inconclusive results of last night’s experiments,” Ulysses said. He grappled with the chair for a moment and then shoved it out into the corridor, shutting the cage’s door between it and them. There was just barely enough room for both of them standing up. This was going to be hideously embarrassing if anyone came along and caught them.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Ulysses, heedless, was lighting the candle with a Zippo. “The building seemed to have something to say to you in the elevator. Maybe it just needs more time to build up to a real psychic discharge, but we can’t wait that long.” He grinned again, eyes wide. “So I thought I’d bring it what it wants, and see if that helps.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“You—what exactly do you do, Mr. Lenkov?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“I’m a human lightning rod.” He reached up and grasped Sam very gently by the chin, turning his face to the candle. “Look. Be silent and breathe. Think about the flame.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The other man’s taut body was pressed right up against Sam’s back, his left arm wrapped around Sam’s waist, and the candle flame was definitely not where Sam’s thoughts were heading. His face still tingled where he’d been touched. “Lenkov,” he said uneasily, “Ulysses. Are you okay? Are you—”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“No drugs, if that’s what you’re trying so delicately to ask. I never touch the stuff. Now hush.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>For some reason he wasn’t entirely clear on, Sam hushed. The man’s tone of voice seemed to demand compliance. At first all he could feel was the rush of blood through his veins, most of it headed southward. But after a while, his head started to clear. He could feel Ulysses breathing behind him and the movement of air through the study cages, smell the paper and Ulysses’s piney cologne and the slightly acrid candle. It wasn’t that his body stopped responding with arousal, but rather that for what felt like a few increasingly long moments he was conscious of <em>all</em> of it, and the linoleum beneath his feet, the rush of water through the pipes of the building. The loud clicks as the motion sensors turned the lights out, one row at a time. Still they stood in their tiny puddle of candle light.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Then, suddenly, the temperature dropped. Sam opened his eyes wide, afraid to say anything lest he break the spell, but also more generally terrified. He twisted slightly, but Ulysses’s grip was unforgiving. The other man leaned forward, murmuring something almost inaudible in a calming tone, and Sam gave up. Whatever was going to happen, he’d have a front-row seat for it. His breath hissed out, steaming.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Ulysses reached out and grabbed Sam’s right hand with his. “Using your left hand,” he whispered, “touch the planchette. Whenever you’re ready.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Sam wanted to ask how he’d know when he was ready, but as their skin connected he felt a tension building in the room. It reminded him, abruptly, of the churning green clouds before a thunderstorm. The tension was in him, too, somehow, like anxiety but not quite, a nauseating squirming thing hiding there behind his breastbone. He closed his eyes and let it build for another minute, until it reached a level he couldn’t stand anymore.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>He touched the planchette and felt it jerk to life as something ran through Ulysses and through him and somehow grounded itself in the paper. It was a little like the peculiar relief offered by a sneeze or an orgasm or taking off a pair of painful shoes, and a little like a static shock turned up to eleven. He might have shouted.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>A moment later, Ulysses reached around him and pinched out the candle flame. Sam leaned dumbly against the wall, trying to catch his breath, and Ulysses turned on the overhead light, swung the door open, and carefully pushed Sam down into the chair.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Sorry about that,” Ulysses said, sounding entirely unaffected. He picked up the page from beneath the planchette and frowned at it. Sam looked at the little stylus, which gave a desultory wriggle and was still.</p>

<p><em>1964: A dark summer night on a still black lake. A lantern is lit at the end of a dock. A blond girl in white appears and begins to dance, her body illuminated like the fireflies surrounding her. A second girl emerges from a house and is beckoned forward. The two meet, swim, and then kiss. Thus begins an ethereal romance and a young woman’s journey into adulthood.</em></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Robin Bennet, age fourteen, has been accidentally abandoned at a lakeside rental house in the Pocono Mountains. Her parents were arguing, and each believed the other had remained with Robin. Alone, Robin discovers that someone has been sleeping in the house and is now stealing vodka and snacks. A fifteen-year-old boy, Kieran, the intruder, appears and invites himself to dinner. Robin is charmed by him, especially when she learns he is the brother of the beautiful girl who magically appeared on the dock the night before. After Kieran leaves, the “Firefly” returns, lights the lantern, and circles around it until Robin joins her. The two swim and make love on the beach. When Robin awakens, the Firefly—Stella—has disappeared, and Robin’s mother arrives, announcing they will return to New Jersey immediately because she is divorcing Robin’s father. Frantic, Robin tries to find Stella, a search that continues while Robin builds a career as an architect in Manhattan, fails in marriage, and struggles with her sexual identity. </p>

<p><strong>Excerpt</strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>[Robin’s parents have left her alone in a rented lake house, each thinking the other would remain. The year is 1964, Robin is 14, and has just drunk some wine.] “Robin shuddered awake. She shook her head, which felt on the verge of aching, and lifted her gaze toward the lake. To her amazement, the lantern was lit on the dock. Standing by it was the Firefly, dressed in white, her blond hair bright against the darkness of the water and the forested hill beyond. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Robin rubbed her eyes. She must be having drunken hallucinations, but when she looked again, the beautiful vision remained. Excitement shot through her, and she lurched to her feet, descended the stairs with the bottle of wine, and walked down the grassy hill to the path, afraid to blink and lose sight of the enchanting image that lay before her. As she stepped onto the dock, the Firefly circled the lantern and offered her hands in invitation, her long fingers sweeping through the air with elegant fluidity. It appeared the girl was smiling, but perhaps this was what Robin hoped. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>She made her way carefully. Some of the boards were uneven, and she didn’t trust her steadiness after drinking so much. Her ears also seemed filled with a pulsing sound, or was that the loud beating of her heart? Nearing the girl, Robin knew the figure was Stella because of the strong resemblance to Kieran—the same yellow hair, slender build, neat features, and gracefulness. But Stella was more magnetic, more enchanting. Instantly, the dinner with Kieran was forgotten. This moment was all present, all now. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Dazed, Robin stopped and stared at this beautiful apparition, one she struggled to believe was real. Almost afraid of breaking the silence with words, she whispered, “Hello.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Hello,” the girl replied.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Stella?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Yes. Robin?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Yes.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The water lapped against the dock pilings, and a bird called from a distant tree. Above, the dark sky shrouded them in an illuminated enclosure. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>They smiled at each other.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Robin inched closer, reveling in the sensuous figure before her. Stella had blue eyes. Perhaps a paler shade than Kieran’s or maybe the lantern’s glittering reflections were creating the appearance of translucence. Her skin was unblemished, smooth, and creamy. The fragrance of Jean Naté floated in the air. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“I hoped you’d return,” Robin said. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“I’m glad. I waited until Kieran left.” Her expression was amused, flirtatious.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Robin sighed. “I don’t think the dinner went well. I mean, the meal was fine, but Kieran is hard to understand.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Stella laughed. “He’s perfected the fine art of being secretive.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“And you? Are you the same?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Yes, I suppose so. You’ll have to find out.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>This sounded like a teasing challenge. “I will,” she answered in kind. “Would you like some wine?” </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Stella accepted the bottle, drank, and wiped her mouth. Her lips were perfectly cut, pink, and alluring. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Thank you.” She handed the wine back to Robin, who took a swallow. “Good. Now, it’s a warm night, Robin. We should swim, don’t you think?” </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Without waiting for a response, Stella began undressing. Underneath her blouse, against her tanned skin, a lacy white bra was revealed. Robin noticed that Stella’s breasts appeared to be larger than hers, but Stella was two years older.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>When Stella leaned down to unbuckle her sandals, Robin unbuttoned her own shirt, overcome with shyness. Although she showered with girls after gym class, Robin had never exposed herself like this. She fixed her eyes on Stella, who had dropped her pants and stepped clear. The girl was slightly taller than Robin, with legs and arms that were lean and strong. Clad only in cotton underpants and a bra, Stella gave her a captivating smile, turned, and dove neatly off the dock. For what seemed like a minute, she stayed underwater until she resurfaced about fifteen feet away. Stella brushed back her short hair and watched as Robin took off her slacks and sandals and executed a clean entrance into the black water. Rising near Stella, the two swam closer to each other and kept upright by paddling their arms.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Robin felt a wave of dizziness pass over her. Because of the wine or because of the nearness to this radiant being? She waited for the girl to speak, to act. Instead, Stella laughed, the sound reminding Robin of wind chimes blowing in a light breeze.” </p>

<p>Michael's story continues from <em>A Reservoir Man</em> (2022) where we find him teaching at a university ready to retire. He unexpectedly meets a young man named Ron who becomes his protege and journeys in a haphazard adventure with him throughout America and Europe, each twist and turn of the road bringing unexpected adventures. The journey taken is one of joy, friendship and discovery.</p>

<p><strong>Excerpt </strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>They begin to move closer to Ron, a street light illuminating one of them for a moment; everything else was in darkness. He realized these were some of the kids from the shelter he used to be in. They had a fire in them, maybe it was jealousy that he got out and got on his feet. How did they know that much about Michael? He knew that they could hurt Michael, at his age that could kill him. They could hurt Carol, badly. They might have a knife. He knew how much danger they were in now.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Ron made a move towards the one he recognized, when suddenly all five pounced on Ron, beating on him, taking no break in their punches. One of them picked up Rhonda and threw her against a brick wall. Ron spit blood and, in between blows, tried to move to protect Rhonda. Carol ran to grab Rhonda. She tried to pick her up and saw she was hurt. Ron looked at the young men, spit blood at the closest of them, and screamed, “Fuck you! I hope you all die for what you did to her! Fuck you!”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The noise of this was so loud, a group of people leaving a bar saw the commotion. One of them yelled “Hey! What’s going on there? Hey!” Another woman was dialing for help on her phone. The young men ran away as quickly as possible, disappearing down a dark side street and into the blackness of the night.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>They were nearing the back door of the house, Carol carrying Rhonda, with Ron limping on his own. As they approached the door, two of the young men were behind them again, taunting them. He asked Ron if he could meet his boyfriend. Ron lunged at one of them and fell to the ground. They began to kick him. Carol screamed for help.</p>

<p><strong><br /></strong></p><p><strong>Still Sky</strong><br /><strong>Skylar Nightingale</strong><br />Publication date: June 20th 2023<br />Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance</p><blockquote><p>Sky Hartman is enduring another conversation with her mom about her nonexistent love life when she slams into sexy business mogul Mateo Jacobson with a hot cup of coffee in her hand.</p>
<p>Despite their messy meeting, Sky is quickly swept up in his charismatic charm. Her best friend warns her of his notorious playboy ways, but after a few warm and cozy nights by the fire, Sky realizes she’s falling for him.</p>
<p>Until his womanizing ways leave her heart shattered.</p>
<p>When Mateo’s best friend, Cade, swoops in to console her, Sky questions his intentions. Although it makes her uneasy to learn his true feelings for her, she wonders if his sweet, romantic nature is what she needs.</p>
<p>But when Mateo is attacked and left for dead, Sky volunteers to help nurse him back to health. Faced, once more, with the selfless and tender ways of the suave casanova, will Sky risk heartbreak again by choosing Mateo? Or will Cade’s kindness and laughter provide her with the happily ever after she hopes for?</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EXCERPT:</strong></p>
<p style="background: white; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">I was walking along a peaceful path in the woods when a branch snapped beneath my barefoot. Birds flew away, shrieking in the distance. For some strange reason, I was not wearing any shoes. I wiggled my toes and continued my peaceful journey. But I came to a screeching halt when I noticed splotches of blood on the ground. My heart raced, and I thought about turning back. But my feet continued to carry me forward. The splotches were getting larger and becoming more frequent as I walked. And then I saw it. I saw him lying there on the ground in a pool of blood. <em>Mateo.</em> He was lying motionless with his eyes closed. Squealing louder than I’ve ever squealed in my life, I sprinted over to him. “No. No. Teo,” I screamed, rocking his body back and forth with force. I lifted his shirt to see where the blood was coming from. But there was no indication of where it was escaping. His body was intact. I checked his neck for a pulse. Pulse, pulse, where the heck was his pulse? I checked his inner wrist. I couldn’t feel it. “Where is it?” I sobbed, clasping his shirt. “Teo. Please. Please. Come back to me.”</span></p>

<p><strong>Blurb</strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>At one hundred and fifty years old, Ian finally had everything he wanted. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Becoming a vampire when he was eighteen, he viewed it as his chance to find his own fated mate, to explore the world, to live and see new things. He’s never regretted his choice, finding friends among paranormals and humans. When he finally meets his mate, he’s amazed that Fate brought him such a perfect fit. Berkley’s handsome, caring, creative. Everything Ian could have wanted in a partner. They settle into their life together, but when a fun outing takes a dangerous turn, will Ian and Berkley be able to save themselves, or will bigotry and hatred win?</p>

<p><strong>Excerpt</strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Ian tilted his head, his mate bond letting him know that Berkley was close. “Berkley’s almost home. Did ye want to meet him?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“What kind of question is that?” his aunt scoffed. “Of course, I want to meet him!”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>A minute later, he heard the library door open and felt a kiss on his head as Berkley came to sit beside him.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Aunt Agnes and Uncle Robert, this is my mate Berkley. Berkley, Aggie and Robert,” Ian said.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Hi, it’s really nice to meet you,” Berkley said, threading his fingers through Ian’s. He was a little nervous about meeting Ian’s family. “I wanted to say thank you as well, for turning Ian and giving him the chance to be himself. I never would have met him otherwise.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“It’s lovely to meet you as well,” Aggie replied, smiling. “I’m so happy Ian found his mate.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Berkley leaned against Ian, relaxing as his aunt and uncle spoke to them. They felt like his family too by the time they got off the call.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“They seem nice,” Berkley said, resting his head on Ian’s shoulder. “Did they yell at you like you thought they would?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Eh, not as bad as I thought it would be,” Ian admitted. “They loved ye,” he added, giving Berkley a kiss. “Ye know what I just thought of?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Hm?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Rolf is locked in his office working, Emma’s down at the clinic, Gawain never leaves his room, and the rest are still in town working. Want to head upstairs?” Ian asked, blinking flirtatiously.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“To help you get something out of your eye?” Berkley asked dryly.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Shut up! I was going for flirty,” Ian laughed, shoving at Berkley’s shoulder before standing up.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Don’t try that one again,” Berkley advised, keeping his face straight. He stood, grabbing his mate around the waist and pulling him close. “I would love to go upstairs with you, even if you don’t have an eyelash in your eye,” he said with a grin.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Brat. Let’s go then. I want us naked on the bed, and me inside ye. Now,” Ian said, dragging Berkley out of the room.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>They stumbled up the stairs, hands groping and stopping occasionally for kisses. Berkley reached out and fumbled for the doorknob, not willing to let go of Ian’s lips so that he could see. He finally got the door open and they fell inside, Ian kicking it shut behind them. As soon as he heard the click, Ian lifted Berkley, hands under his thighs, moving to hold him pinned against the door. Their cocks lined up perfectly and Ian rutted against him, the friction causing them both to moan. Berkley’s fingers tangled in Ian’s shorter red hair, pulling his head back so that he could lick his way down his neck, sucking a love mark near his collar bone.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Ian took a step away from the door, walking them over to the bed and letting Berkley slide down to sit on the edge of the mattress before stepping in closer between his legs.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;"><strong>About the Author </strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">I have loved reading since I was a child. I also enjoy baking, photography, and seeing new things. My favorite books are romances with a happily ever-after. The world is a crazy place. Sometimes escaping into a great book is the only way I can truly relax. Happily-ever-after is my favorite type of book, so my stories will end with a HEA, even if the road is a little bumpy getting there. I am also a wife, a mother, and a photographer. </p>

<p>Even time cannot stop love.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>University professor Matthew Richter hates complications. Planning his every day down to the second leaves no opportunity for a social life, which he doesn’t feel the need for anyway. Jian Wei helps run his family’s business. The only thing he enjoys more than tormenting his parents and siblings with endless pranks is plotting his next trick on a certain uptight customer.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Though so different, chance inexplicably draws them both to a World War II photography exhibit, and the aging photographer Milton Glass. Milton shares the story of two soldiers brutally cut down on the battlefield—which has haunted him for the better part of his life—and his suspicions that the soldiers shared a bond they never fully realized.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Now, in the twilight of his life, Milton can’t help but wonder if Matthew and Jian share a potential bond of their own. Could they possibly be the same men from so long ago, returned for a second chance at being together?</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Milton can hope. </p>

<p><strong>Excerpt </strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Jian opened a cardboard container filled with lemon tea and grabbed two six-packs. Mister Important Professor could afford to buy two, especially since he’d inconvenienced Jian in the first place. He then checked the incoming produce, and when he didn’t find any lychee, grabbed a third six-pack of the tea.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Jian’s father was nowhere to be seen when he returned. So much the better.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Here you go, Mister Important Man.” Jian transferred the tea from his arms to the arms of the object of his discontent. “Thank you for waiting so patiently while your humble servant retrieved what he could of your most profound wishes. No fresh lychee either.” He started to head away, then stopped. “Or is it Mister Important Professor?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The professor’s face turned beet red. “I never said I was important.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Thinking of the professor as the professor felt…odd. The name suggested someone much older, like in their fifties or sixties. This one didn’t look much over Jian’s age. Maybe he was an old soul acting like an old man in a younger man’s body. What a waste of good genetics.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“True. My father says you’re important.” Jian knew he could be accused of being rude, but he switched to speaking Cantonese to avoid insulting the professor in a language the man understood. “<em>You almost never talk when you come in here, and you give off the impression you don’t want to talk to anybody, like they’re beneath you. You might even be handsome if you learned to smile and changed everything about your personality. Right now, you’re just another uptight white man. But, we do appreciate your business.</em>”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The professor stared at Jian for at least a solid ten seconds. While the man remained silent, he moved his lips, though almost imperceptivity. Jian swore the professor must be continuing the conversation in his head. <em>Seriously? Who does something like that? Is he even human?</em> The professor finally took a deep breath and exhaled. “Thank you for the items.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Jian watched him start walking away. Much to his surprise, the professor paused and looked back over his shoulder.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Oh, <em>I don’t think I’m better than anyone else, and I’m not trying to be something I’m not,</em>” the professor spoke in perfect Cantonese. “<em>Also, I come here because I love the food. Finally, you don’t know me well enough to talk about my personality. That would be like me saying you come across as someone who enjoys annoying his father and the customers for no other reason than because you can, and you probably admire yourself in the mirror every morning, too.</em>”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Jian felt his jaw drop, which he then shut with a loud snap. “What? Seriously? You’ve been shopping here since we opened two years ago and you couldn’t mention you speak Cantonese? You’ve understood everything we’ve been saying about…I mean to you?” He decided to change tactics and switch to Mandarin. “<em>You sure talk when you want to</em>.” See how Mr. Important Professor liked that!</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“<em>I only speak when I have something to say,</em>” the professor replied back to him in Mandarin.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Jian felt his own face burn with the sudden rush of blood. “Don’t let my father hear you speak Mandarin! He’ll probably offer you my bedroom and I’ll wind up in the basement. Why are white people so weird?” He stormed off and caught a Caucasian woman glaring at him. “Not you. Him. He’s weird. You’re perfection. Have you tried the new Thai milk tea packets we just got in?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“<em>Jian!</em>” His father’s voice bellowed throughout the store.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Huh.” Jian looked up at the ceiling. Had his father installed cameras he didn’t know about? “He doesn’t even have to see me do something wrong anymore to know I did.”</p>

<a href="http://www.keithmilano.org/">The Keith Milano Memorial Fund</a> was established to help raise awareness about the devastating and deadly disease that is mental illness. Keith’s spirit and laughter are kept alive through our efforts to increase awareness about mental illness and to raise money for education and imperative research. Keith often struggled with society’s perception of mental illness. Our hope is that by having the strength to say that Keith was “Bipolar” we can strip away the stigma and help others to be more open about their disease.

<p><strong>Blurb </strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Fifteen years ago, I helped put my abductor behind bars.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>And shunned the events of my traumatic past.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I’ve lived a content life with my wife.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Until the dreaded phone call.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Duncan Whittaker’s out on parole.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The first time I confront him, I intend to kill him.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>But when we’re face to face, everything changes.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I’m still codependent on him.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Duncan’s the only man who’s ever made me feel desire.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>He’s also the one who held me captive for almost a year.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Isolated me from others to make me grateful for his presence.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Deprived me of sensation to make me crave his unwanted touch.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Duncan Whittaker’s the sadist who broke me in the name of revenge.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Now his twisted obsession is about to ruin my life a second time.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>And God help me, but I don’t know how to stop him.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I… may not want to stop him.</p>

<p><strong>Blurb </strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>They called him Vicious… I called him mine.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Sebastian St. James was more mystery than human…</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>His timid, feeble disposition contradicted the violent rumors that surrounded him. He wasn’t a murderer… but they were afraid of him, anyway.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I was fascinated by him and the cautious way he hid his face. His hands trembled when somebody stared too long, and he was wary of speaking.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Secrets burned beneath his skin, and it was my job to expose them all. Bit by bit, I was tasked with tearing him apart until there was nothing left but the truth.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The funny thing about the truth? There’s always two versions, and it was Sebastian’s version that made me bleed.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I no longer wanted to wreck him. I wanted to protect him.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>They called him Vicious… but it was me they should’ve been afraid of.</p>

<p><strong>Blurb </strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>He left me.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Alec Sanborne abandoned me when I was nothing but a scared teenager. He deserted me in a house with a monster. Now, he’s prancing around NYU as a professor, pretending he’s normal.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>But my step-brother is far from normal. I know all of his dirty little secrets, the ones he tries so carefully to hide. I plan to expose him, to strip everything away that he loves until he has nothing but me.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>One look and I can see the love and desire in his eyes. He says he wants nothing to do with me, that I can’t be in his class. But how could I abandon the man I’ve fantasized about all these years?</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Alec Sanborne is mine. My bloody valentine.</p>

<p><strong>Blurb </strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>What started off as nothing more than a product to them quickly became everything to me.Each Friday is the same. I drive a borrowed truck to a warehouse to pick up a delivery. The back of the truck stays locked at all times, and I never look inside no matter what. These are the rules I must follow without any mishaps.Nothing can go wrong. Until it does. The curiosity I usually fight against ends up winning when I'm stranded in the middle of nowhere. Something calls my attention to the back of the truck and once I cut the lock, there's no turning back. I can no longer lie to myself when I finally see what I've been delivering.One look at the frightened, beautiful man crawling out of the dark, and all the rules are shot to hell, and so is the promise of my family's safety. I can't walk away no matter how hard I try. The heartless man I've allowed myself to become in order to keep my loved ones safe now feels too much, and I can no longer finish what I started. Is Paxton really worth the risk? Can I keep him safe from the men who are after us. Most importantly, can I protect him from myself?It won't stop me from trying. They want him and will keep coming until they get what they're after.Him and everyone else keep forgetting one very important detail,the only person he belongs to,is me.</p>

<p><strong>Blurb </strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I’ve been tormented by three a-holes my whole life; Theon, Foxyn, and Leyton. From sticking me in lockers to giving me wedgies to stripping me naked and laughing while I try to run home these three have done it all.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I hated them and their cruel games.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I’m their senior, I shouldn’t let them push me around.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>But at some point the pain turned to pleasure and I…liked it. Their wicked glances, their devilish grins, their endless teasing. A few well placed words and I’m a wet, squirming mess.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Now? I can’t get enough of them. I don’t want to share them with anyone else. They will be mine. My cruel Valentines.</p>

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5110376408">4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
Anne of Green Gables is the book that I remember getting me into reading as a kid. I loved it and went on to read the series. Later I watched the movies. I have recommended it to my daughter many times. I even watched the latest television adaptation on Netflix and couple of years ago. I don't think I'll ever not have a spot in my heart of this story. I've tried Manga Classics before and had a good experience so when I saw they had Anne of Green Gables, I had to read it. I think they did a wonderful job of turning this into a manga. They pretty much stuck with the storyline. It still made me emotional. The artwork really brought it life. I hope it opens this story up to a whole new group who wouldn't have read the story otherwise. I enjoyed the author's explanation of why certain areas were more prominent and what things meant to them personally. I also liked the artist sort of "walking through" the drawing of the characters. If you like Anne's books or movies, classics, comics or manga, you should definitely check out this book. <br /><div>

<p><strong>Excerpt </strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“I don’t—” Another crack. The window made a sound like breaking stone. Kernels of clear plastic pelted Julian’s right side. His HUD flashed a bright red damage warning.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Big guy?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“I’m all right!” Julian said.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Something hit Julian’s back. Hard. He couldn’t swallow down the grunt of pain. Another warning flashed across his HUD. He ignored it and kept his eyes focused on the map. “Left again. One de— Half of the last turn.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The driver’s eyebrows slashed downward, but the smile didn’t quite leave the man’s face. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>They flew over the sand and the rover spent at least as much time in the air as it did on the ground, leaving Julian’s stomach behind each time it rose.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>More debris clanged against them. The rear window cracked. It pelted his back. The debris overwhelmed the map with flashing red warning messages, but it didn’t matter. He was past the point of being helpful. If he’d let his teeth open, the only thing that would come out would be a scream.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The driver’s eyes never flicked away from the windshield, and his fingers never left the wheel. Not even to wipe away the blood rolling down his cheek.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Everything in Julian’s HUD lit up bright red, then it went dark. He looked down.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>A rod of rusted metal was jutting through his side, just to the left of his belly button.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The pain hit him like it was waiting for him to notice it.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>He ground his teeth together. The scream scorched his tongue. His arms shook. Sand streamed past his shoulders and into the rover. Julian pressed hard against the space of the window. It was the only way to keep himself from dropping forward into the seat with each bump. The pressure shoved the metal rod deeper, and spots of color danced across his vision.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The driver’s grip on the wheel was so tight that it made his knuckles white, but the guy was still smiling.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The roar of the storm was everywhere. It was filling up the world, and there was no room left for any other sounds.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The darkness was thick enough to feel. It pressed against Julian’s skin and sucked up the warmth. There was nothing but the dark, the scream, the pain, and the driver’s tight expression lit by the displays on the dashboard.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Hold on!”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Laughter bubbled out of Julian. Holding on was the only thing he could do.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The rover hit a bump, and he flew. His head hit the roof. The world started spinning and flickering.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Julian bit the end of his tongue to keep the sounds locked inside. Another bump made him bite too hard, and his mouth filled with the metallic taste of his own blood.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>They stopped.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>His hand slipped, and he smacked the front window hard enough to make his vision flare red and then black. For a second, Julian was sure that he was going to pass out. He wanted to pass out.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Julian’s eyes cleared, and he got a look at the spot his rescuer chose to get them through the storm. It was a stretch of desert locked away inside a blacked-out Wall. The darkness of the storm had been bad, but the shadows that had pooled where they were now were something else. They were the thick, living kind that he’d only ever seen inside the mine.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The rover entered the space at an angle and the headlights caught on strange shapes and crumbled walls. It was impossible to see anything beyond the cones of light they cast in the heavy darkness, but Julian didn’t need to see to know where they were.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>They were in Easton. The town his father destroyed.</p>

<p><strong>Suitors & Sweethearts: An African Romance Box Set</strong><br />Publication date: February 7th 2023<br />Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance</p><blockquote><p><strong>BOUND TO FATE by Kiru Taye<br />
</strong>All Ike wants to do is to keep out of trouble and get through the one-year internship required for his degree program. But trouble finds him, in the form of the intelligent and brave Lara who turns his world upside down. Falling in love is forbidden. So why does it feel so right? Love like theirs cannot be denied. But catastrophe lies in wait and one-night changes their lives forever.</p>
<p><strong>VEGAS NIGHTS by Unoma Nwankwor<br />
</strong>A woman scared of being hurt again is bent on playing it safe.<br />
A man determined to stay focused and never experience poverty again.<br />
One night on the wild side that changes everything.</p>
<p><strong>LOVE AND HIPLIFE by Nana Prah<br />
</strong>Blaise is on the verge of taking African Francophone countries by storm with his new style of music. Learning how to sing in French without butchering the beautiful language is harder than he thought. Multi-linguist, Lamisi is the key to his success. When his presence in her life puts her in danger, will he end the budding relationship in order to keep her safe?</p>
<p><strong>MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR by Empi Baryeh<br />
</strong>When Lord—his given name, not a title—sets his sights on Chantelle, he has more than work on his mind. Yet, even the infamous playboy couldn’t have predicted the magnetic attraction from the moment they met, nor the evening ending with more than just an interview. But now he has to convince Chantelle that their one-night stand wasn’t a mistake… and that not all bachelors are heartbreakers.</p>
<p><strong>THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY by Zee Monodee<br />
</strong>Eldest sister of the Hemant sibling trio, Lara, returns to Mauritius as a divorcee and she comes across Eric, the man she loved as a teenager and gave up because their interracial relationship would not stand a chance on this island. But here comes a second chance: Eric wants her back in his life, and he will stop at nothing to win her back. Will Lara be her own worst enemy and thus end up unhappy ever after?</p>
<p><strong>BITTERSWEET BEGINNING by Nkem Akin<br />
</strong>“Efe Sagay grew up and went to school in Nigeria. While attending school she met the love of her life, her soul mate, the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with…Kevwe Mukoro. And the feelings were duplicated by Kevwe. As soon as Efe graduated, they would be married. This was the dream and this was the plan. But real life doesn’t always see things the way we do. The perfect future can always be destroyed by unforeseen circumstances.” ~ Martha A. Cheves, Author.</p>

into Ike’s office.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“Sure.”
Ike stood up and grabbed his jacket from the back of his leather armchair. “I
was just heading out for a meeting. We can walk and talk.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“Good,”
Olu said as Ike headed towards him and shut the door after he’d exited the
room. “I just wanted to let you know we’ve recruited the final member of the
Baytown project. I just finished the interview.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“That’s
a quick decision.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“She is
the best of the candidates we’ve seen and will make a good fit to the team. I
didn’t see the point in holding off any longer.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“Great.
Well done. I’m keen to get the ball rolling on this project. I presume Jane’s
already onto HR about the contract.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“She is.
I told the young lady to wait and pick up the contract. In fact, she’s waiting
in Jane’s office. Do you have a sec to meet her?”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“Of
course.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Olu led
the way and Ike turned in the direction of Jane’s office.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">He saw
the girl then. She was dark-skinned, with a heart-shaped face and wide brown
eyes. Something in the back of his mind prickled as there was something
familiar about her.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">In a few
seconds, he was standing in Jane’s office in front of the girl and recognition
dawned.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">It
couldn’t be. This person standing in front of him looked so different. For
starters, the hair was short and had red streaks in it. The girl he’d know five
years ago had long braids and was too conservative and introverted to ever
colour her hair such a loud shade. Secondly, the glasses were missing.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“Lara, I
wanted you to meet our MD, Ike Thomas” Olu said. “This is Lara Johnson, the new
project planner.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">It was
her.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">He’d
banned anyone he knew from mentioning that name for the past five years. After
the night that everything changed. He hadn’t wanted to think of her because he
knew he would’ve gone looking for her if only to make sure she was okay. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">And what
if she wasn’t? He wouldn’t have been able to live with himself.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Seeing
her now, she looked okay. In one piece. So it had been a good thing to walk
away. She’d survived. He’d survived. The world had moved on.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Ike’s
muscles went rigid as the breath whooshed out of him. It took him a few
heartbeats to recover enough to speak. “Welcome to Thomas International. We’re
looking forward to having you on board.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">He
didn’t stretch out his hand to shake hers, afraid of what physical contact with
her would do to him.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“Thank
you, Mr. Thomas,” she said in a tense tone. “I look forward to working here.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">She
smiled but it seemed forced.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calisto MT",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://www.xpressobooktours.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/02/SuitorSweethearts_SQteaser4-1.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://www.xpressobooktours.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/02/SuitorSweethearts_SQteaser4-1.jpg" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></a></p><div><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Lustria,serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Lustria,serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></div>

<p><strong>Excerpt </strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Tobia approached the house cautiously. He smelled vampires all over the street and side yard. There were at least four different scents mingled. His heart pounded in his chest. How could he have left Gwin and Matthew alone? How could he have not known so many others were in the area? They must have come from the south side, up I-75 from the airport—downwind. He’d been further north and to the east on his hunt. He’d never sensed anything wrong until he was nearly home.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>He circled around to the front of the house where he could see the lights on inside through the bay window. The garage took up the west side of the house and temporarily blocked his view of the door as he moved. When he came around to the front again, the porch light was still on, but now he could clearly see the front door on the ground, nearly half of it inside the house. It looked as if it had been knocked off its hinges. The doorframe had been left in splinters. He stepped closer and picked up two additional vampire scents. Six vampires had been here. Gwin never had a chance.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>He called out to her tentatively in his head as stepped on the door. As she opened to him, he felt her pain and anguish. The others had left and taken Matthew with them.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Gwin sat on the floor against the bar that separated the kitchen from the living room. She had her knees pulled up to her chest, and she was crying hard. Nothing like he’d ever seen from her. She was beyond words. He went to her and knelt. He touched her leg, and she slowly tilted her head up to look at him.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Tears streamed down her face. “They took him,” she managed between sobs. Her heart wasn’t simply broken. No, nothing as easy as that. Her heart was shattered. And Tobia felt every bit of her pain. His own echoed it. He pulled her up in his arms, rocking her back and forth. If he ever questioned his love for her before, he didn’t any longer. It was there between them like a physical thing, and it was stronger than anything he had ever known. He projected that swelling feeling back to her. He had to. She needed to know, and she needed it now. She’d been badly defeated when she’d most needed to protect Matthew.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Tobia kissed the top of her head and projected what reassurance he could. We’ll find them. I will track them down.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“I swear to you, if he hurts Matthew, I will tear him apart with my bare hands.” He felt the intensely ferocious venom in her words, powerful enough to make him lean away from her.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Gwin, we’ll find them.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>She stood, took a deep breath, and wiped her face with the sleeve of her shirt. He’d promised Matthew earlier that very evening that he would not let something like this happen. He had failed. He had failed them both. Gwin had been hurt.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“I’m fine,” she said reading his thoughts. “A good feed, and I’ll be like new.” She stood up and stepped away, giving Tobia a good view of the damaged wall. It had the imprint of her shoulders and back. “It was Tetrick and Myranta. I don’t know how they found us, or how they knew.” She paced the floor as she spoke. “Tetrick said Matthew is a muse, and they took him, and I don’t know where to look. I haven’t searched for them in a long time.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“He’s a what?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Muse. Like Greek mythology.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Matthew? A muse? That’s bizarre. How could that be possible? Think he was lying to you?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“No, I think he’s right. We’re possible, why not a muse?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Tobia shook his head. He didn’t know what to think. Didn’t know what that even meant. And worse, he didn’t know what to do. He had never tried to track a vampire. He wasn’t so sure he could do it, but they had to try. His maker, Runihura’d had that talent, and Tobia had inherited other things from him, so he could figure it out. He had to.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Okay, Gwin. Let’s focus. What do you know about this Tetrick? Where could he have gone?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>She stared at him for a long moment before answering. “I don’t know. I’m so damned tired of not knowing the answers, Tobia.”</p>

<p><strong><br /></strong></p><p><strong>Pretty Evil</strong><br /><strong>Zoe Rosi</strong></p><p><b><br /></b>Publication date: January 17th 2023<br />Genres: Adult, Thriller</p><blockquote><p><strong>You’ve done a bad thing. She has you in her sights. Now you’re going to pay.</strong></p>
<p>Meet Camilla Black: an affluent, respected, influential fashion magazine editor, who lives it up in her beautiful Mayfair apartment. But Camilla’s glamorous life is a lie. Behind her poised exterior beats the cold dark heart of a vigilante killer, a murderer hell-bent on wreaking vengeance upon bad men.</p>
<p>Camilla expects to get away with murder. She’s careful. And anyway, it’s worth the risk. She’s making the world a better place with each predator she kills. But when one of her victims’ bodies is unexpectedly found, his gruesome death is splashed all over the papers.</p>

His pecs are straight from a swimwear ad, his broad shoulders and ripped arms are built like a boxer’s. His biceps are strong, lined with veins that will soon cease to pump blood. He has the kind of arms that could pin you down so tightly you wouldn’t be able to move a muscle. His hands are large – the least attractive part of him: dry, thick, stubby. They’re the type of hands that could grip your wrists and stifle screams. Hands that could have killed me tonight. Hands that would have hurt me.

<p><strong>Blackout Trail</strong><br /><strong>Linda Naughton</strong><br />Publication date: January 10th 2023<br />Genres: Adult, Dystopian, Post-Apocalyptic</p><blockquote><p>Doctor Anna Hastings is no stranger to disasters, having spent much of her career as an aid worker in conflict zones around the world. Yet when an electrical phenomenon known as an EMP brings down the power grid, Anna faces catastrophe on a scale she never imagined. She must learn what it means to be a doctor in a world deprived of almost all technology.</p>
<p>As the blackout causes planes to fall from the sky, Anna crosses paths with devoted father Mark Ryan in the chaos at the airport. Mark convinces Anna to travel with him and his seven-year-old daughter Lily to their family’s cabin in remote Maine. There Mark hopes to reunite with his wife, and find a safe refuge from a society on the brink of collapse.</p>
<p>Journeying across a thousand miles of backcountry trails, they will face a daily struggle against nature. Their biggest peril, though, may come from their fellow survivors. As Anna grows closer to Mark and Lily, she resolves to see them safely home. But can she hold onto her humanity in a world gone mad?</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EXCERPT:</strong></p>
<p>I lowered the phone and narrowed my eyes at the blank display. No indicators, no clock —nothing. How could it be dead already? I’d charged it before I left Jess’ house last night, and the damn thing was barely a month old. I scowled. “Oh, come on.”</p>
<p>The nearby baggage carousel ground to a shuddering halt. A collective groan from the other passengers drew my attention away from the useless brick in my hand. Snatches of disjointed conversation reached my ears.</p>
<p>“Can you hear me? I think we got cut off. Frank?”</p>
<p>“The hell? I had plenty of charge left.”</p>
<p>“Moooommy! My movie stopped!”</p>
<p>A growing sense of dread pooled in my stomach. It wasn’t just our baggage carousel that had stopped; they all had. Both the overhead lights and the computer screens showing the baggage carousel assignments had gone dark too. The only light streamed in from the floor-to- ceiling windows lining the perimeter of the baggage claim area. Why hadn’t the emergency lights kicked on?</p>
<p>The automatic sliding doors had also stopped, confounding a gaggle of college kids trying to leave. Beyond the doors, an ominous stillness had replaced the constant bustle of parking shuttles, cars, and taxis creeping along the pickup lane. There should’ve been engine sounds. Horns. Something. Now there were just a bunch of confused and pissed-off people getting out of their vehicles.</p>
<p>Grumbling from the other passengers gave way to a stunned hush. Panic bubbled just beneath the surface. You couldn’t set foot in an American airport these days without being bombarded with reminders of terrorism. Everyone looked at each other, the same question written on our faces: Was this some kind of attack? What should we do? I expected some sort of alert or explanation over the loudspeaker, telling everyone to remain calm, but none came.</p>
<p>A thunderous crash from the opposite end of the terminal had me ducking and covering my head. Metal screeched on metal, accompanied by the tinkle of shattered glass and an ear- splitting grinding sound. A chorus of terrified cries erupted around me. I’ll admit it—I screamed too. I caught a glimpse of a plane fuselage crashing through the airport ceiling before plowing into the ground.</p>
<p>The plane flattened the south end of the building as casually as a child knocking over a stack of blocks, and the resulting fireball sent flaming debris flying in all directions. At the opposite end, the shock wave knocked me off my feet. A rush of hot air stung my face and hands.</p>
<p>People started picking themselves up off the ground. Dozens of survivors made a mad dash for the exits. Their screams sounded distant to my ringing ears. Non-functioning doors proved to be a mild hiccup for the exodus. The lucky ones smashed through or pried the doors open before they got smashed against the glass.</p>
<p>Catching my breath, I rose to a crouch. The putrid smell of aviation fuel mixed with acrid smoke tickled my throat and made my eyes water. Heart hammering, I surveyed the destruction in slack-jawed horror. The rectangular terminal stretched for the length of a football field, and nothing remained of the south half but fiery rubble. Between here and there was a wide stretch where it looked like a bomb had gone off.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Author: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lauren Crowne</span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Genre: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Paranormal Romance </span></h2><div><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>

<h2><b>About </b><b><i>Stolen from the Demon Prince:</i></b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The demon prince is possessive, jealous, and determined to protect what is his.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Can the prince ever see me, a former fae slave, as his equal?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Or will he always see me as only a possession to protect?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The longer Leo and I are in the demon kingdom, the more obvious it becomes to both of us that it's not safe for me to stay there with him. Demons want to take me from him at every turn, and rival factions are eager to use me as a pawn to hurt the prince.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When it seems impossible for us to be together, will the prince abandon his title, throne, and kingdom for me?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Or should I seek out the fae city and find a new home with my own kind?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite all of the forces working against us, deep down I know that the only home I've ever wanted was with him.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Unfortunately for me, there are demons who will refuse to let that happen.</span>
<div>
<b><i>All books in the Sins of the Blood War series contain spicy tension, deliciously steamy scenes, characters who talk (and curse) like adults, and occasional moments of violence. Leo's a prince who can do whatever he wants, after all, and in this book, what he wants is her.</i></b>

<span>He is also my new owner.</span>
<span>As a fae slave, I knew that one day I'd be sold at auction, but I never expected to be purchased by royalty, much less by the demon prince himself.</span>
<span>Rumors say that Prince Leo is a cruel master who murders his fae when they no longer entertain him. They say he's just like every other species that harvest the magic in our fae blood.</span>
<span>But I know the truth.</span>
<span>There's more to the demon prince than what the world sees. He has plans, big plans, and if I agree to help him, it could mean freedom for me and every other enslaved fae.</span>
<span>When the day comes that I'm given the chance for freedom, will I take it, even it means leaving Prince Leo forever? Or can I admit that the demon prince who owned my body might own my heart as well?</span>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Title: </b><b><i>Stolen from the Demon Prince</i></b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Author: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lauren Crowne</span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Genre: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Paranormal Romance </span></h2><div><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>

<h2><b>About </b><b><i>Stolen from the Demon Prince:</i></b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The demon prince is possessive, jealous, and determined to protect what is his.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Can the prince ever see me, a former fae slave, as his equal?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Or will he always see me as only a possession to protect?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The longer Leo and I are in the demon kingdom, the more obvious it becomes to both of us that it's not safe for me to stay there with him. Demons want to take me from him at every turn, and rival factions are eager to use me as a pawn to hurt the prince.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When it seems impossible for us to be together, will the prince abandon his title, throne, and kingdom for me?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Or should I seek out the fae city and find a new home with my own kind?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite all of the forces working against us, deep down I know that the only home I've ever wanted was with him.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Unfortunately for me, there are demons who will refuse to let that happen.</span>
<b><i>All books in the Sins of the Blood War series contain spicy tension, deliciously steamy scenes, characters who talk (and curse) like adults, and occasional moments of violence. Leo's a prince who can do whatever he wants, after all, and in this book, what he wants is her.</i></b>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The demon prince is arrogant, dangerous, and hot as sin.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">He is also my new owner.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">As a fae slave, I knew that one day I'd be sold at auction, but I never expected to be purchased by royalty, much less by the demon prince himself.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Rumors say that Prince Leo is a cruel master who murders his fae when they no longer entertain him. They say he's just like every other species that harvest the magic in our fae blood.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But I know the truth.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">There's more to the demon prince than what the world sees. He has plans, big plans, and if I agree to help him, it could mean freedom for me and every other enslaved fae.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When the day comes that I'm given the chance for freedom, will I take it, even it means leaving Prince Leo forever? Or can I admit that the demon prince who owned my body might own my heart as well?</span>

<p style="text-align: center;">—</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><br /></strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EXCERPT:</strong></p>
<p>“I’m just having a bad day.” Her bottom lip quivers. “A really bad day.”</p>
<p>“I can see that.” His voice is soft. So soft. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Sully speak to anyone that way. Interesting. “Talk to me.”</p>
<p>“I can’t,” she whispers, her voice shaking.</p>
<p>“Honey,” Sully says, lifting her chin so she’s looking up at him, “you can. You’re hurt. You can trust me, remember?”</p>
<p>Rather than explaining to him what has her so upset, she cups his cheeks, drawing him to her. His lips are gentle as he kisses her supple mouth. It’s as though he has to handle her with kid gloves or she’ll break. I know for a fact she can take rough handling and barely crack.</p>
<p>She’s much tougher than she lets on.</p>
<p>His hunger for her wins out. Grabbing her ass, he pulls her up into his lap so her legs wrap around his middle. A needy moan escapes her, singing straight to my cock. As quietly as I can, I pull down my zipper and unbutton my jeans. I pull my throbbing dick into my hand, eager for some sort of release.</p>
<p>Sully’s massive hands squeeze her ass as he moves her against his lap. They’re dry humping like there aren’t people just around the corner. So dangerous, but so hot.</p>
<p>“We have to talk about this,” Sully murmurs. “As good as this feels, it’s only putting a bandage on the problem.”</p>
<p>For fuck’s sake.</p>
<p>Don’t be a pussy, man.</p>
<p>She ignores him, kissing him with all the fiery passion she possesses. Sully shoves one hand down into the back of her yoga pants, his palm splayed out over her ass cheek. This must feel good because she starts panting harder. I stroke my dick in tandem with the sounds she’s making. I’d kill for some lube right now, but since I don’t have any, I make do with licking my hand a couple of times to get it nice and slick.</p>
<p>“Ford,” she hisses, breaking from their kiss so she can look at him.</p>
<p>With his free hand, he yanks down her hood, revealing her messy, damp hair. He stares at her like she’s the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen.</p>
<p>These fuckers are obsessed.</p>
<p>I know obsession when I see it.</p>
<p>“I’m going to come.” Her whispered words sound surprised. “Ford, oh my…” She tilts her head back, baring her pretty neck.</p>
<p>I want to bite it and suck it and wrap my hand around it.</p>
<p>Mine.</p>
<p>Mine.</p>
<p>My breathing comes out quick and harsh. If they weren’t so consumed in one another, they’d hear me. I know the second she comes because her body tenses before trembling. She swallows down the cry of her orgasm as not to alert anyone.</p>
<p>He starts to lift her hoodie, giving me a flash of her small bra-less tits, but she stops him, dragging it back down.</p>
<p>“Ford,” she says, breathing heavily. “We can’t do this right now.”</p>
<p>Right now. Not never.</p>
<p>Images of her trussed up and captive in my bed are too much. I come silently, my semen hitting the orange ball with a barely audible patter. While I tuck my dripping dick back into my jeans, I keep my stare fixated on them from my hiding spot.</p>
<p>They’re so enamored in each other.</p>
<p>Which means she’s just as enamored with me.</p>
<p>My turn. My fucking turn.</p>
<p>I’m about to stand up and demand my turn when some doofus walks into the weight area. As soon as he noticed the two of them, his face blanches and he stumbles back.</p>
<p>“Oh, I’m so sorry, I, uh, I’ll leave.”</p>
<p>The dumb shit hurries to leave them to their dry fucking, but the moment is lost. Landry is already pulling from my brother and standing. He thrums with need, his dick trying to tear through his jeans as he reaches for her.</p>
<p>“I shouldn’t be here,” she mutters to herself. “This was a mistake. I was upset but if he finds me gone.” Panic flashes over her features making her reddened skin pale to a ghastly white. “I have to go back home.”</p>
<p>“Honey,” Sully growls. “Let me go with you. To make sure it’s safe.”</p>
<p>“No, lover boy.” She smacks his hand that’s still reaching for her. “I appreciate…”</p>
<p><em>Appreciate what, prickly princess? Making you come in your little panties and giving your lover boy blue balls in the process?</em></p>
<p>He rises to his feet, capturing her waist and pulling her to his chest. “Did he hit you again?”</p>
<p>“That was an accident, I think.” She frowns. “It’s other stuff. I just…never mind. You’ve calmed me down, but I really need to get back. I’ll call you later.”</p>
<p>They share another long, passionate kiss until she peels away from him. She runs off, leaving Sully alone with his nine-inch boner. I stand up, ignoring the searing in my bad knee. Slowly, I hobble toward him. He hears the sound of my feet on the mats and whips around to face me.</p>
<p>Shock turns into brief fear and finally into fury.</p>
<p>“What the actual fuck, Scout?” he snarls, shoving my chest. “You were spying on me?”</p>
<p>I reach down, rubbing at my knee, and scowl at him. “She’s my job, too.”</p>
<p>His brown eyes flicker with a multitude of emotions, but the one that’s most prevalent is possessiveness. He doesn’t believe she’s a job like he’s supposed to, and he certainly doesn’t believe she’s mine too.</p><p><br /></p>

<h2><b>About </b><b><i>Stolen from the Demon Prince:</i></b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The demon prince is possessive, jealous, and determined to protect what is his.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Can the prince ever see me, a former fae slave, as his equal?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Or will he always see me as only a possession to protect?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The longer Leo and I are in the demon kingdom, the more obvious it becomes to both of us that it's not safe for me to stay there with him. Demons want to take me from him at every turn, and rival factions are eager to use me as a pawn to hurt the prince.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When it seems impossible for us to be together, will the prince abandon his title, throne, and kingdom for me?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Or should I seek out the fae city and find a new home with my own kind?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite all of the forces working against us, deep down I know that the only home I've ever wanted was with him.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The demon prince is arrogant, dangerous, and hot as sin.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">He is also my new owner.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">As a fae slave, I knew that one day I'd be sold at auction, but I never expected to be purchased by royalty, much less by the demon prince himself.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Rumors say that Prince Leo is a cruel master who murders his fae when they no longer entertain him. They say he's just like every other species that harvest the magic in our fae blood.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But I know the truth.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">There's more to the demon prince than what the world sees. He has plans, big plans, and if I agree to help him, it could mean freedom for me and every other enslaved fae.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When the day comes that I'm given the chance for freedom, will I take it, even it means leaving Prince Leo forever? Or can I admit that the demon prince who owned my body might own my heart as well?</span>

<h2><b>About </b><b><i>One Kind Night</i></b><b>: </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Everyone knew if you shared your birthday wish, it wouldn’t come true. And Jackson wanted this one to come true.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">What’s better than digging in the dirt and putting together the pieces of history? For archaeologist Jackson Henley, absolutely nothing. Unfortunately, lost funding forces him to head to his hometown in Vermont. It’ll be great to see all his brothers who still live in town, but Jackson’s stay is definitely temporary. He’s got valuable treasures to unearth in far more interesting spots than a small town deep in the woods.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">An injured dog, however, leads Jackson to an unexpected reunion with his high school sweetheart. Isabel Perri is not supposed to be in town. She shouldn’t be running Pine River Cottages where he’s staying either. She definitely shouldn’t look even hotter than she did as the teenager who had broken up with him when he’d entered college ahead of schedule.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Isabel also swears she’ll be out of Maplehaven before it gets its hooks back into her. She’s got dreams of opening her own resort in a busy tourist area. Getting replanted in her hometown won’t make those dreams come true. Neither will giving in to the magnetic pull she feels every time Jackson is around. Will this second chance alter their escape plans?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Is one kind night enough to uncover a love buried in the past?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">One Kind Night is a second-chance, small-town, contemporary romance that features a business-minded heroine and an archaeologist hero who both return to their hometown.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Christine DePetrillo can often be found hugging trees, conversing with dragonflies, and walking barefoot through sun-warmed soil. She finds joy in listening to the wind, bathing in moonlight, and breathing in the fragrances of things that bloom. If she had her way, the sky would be the only roof over her head.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Her love of nature seeps into every story she tells. As does her obsession with bearded mountain men who build, often smell like sawdust, and know how to cherish the women they love. Today she writes tales meant to make you laugh, maybe make you sweat, and definitely make you believe in the power of love.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">She lives in Vermont with her husband and many woodland creatures who defend her fiercely from all evils.</span>

<p>Hunter’s life is turned upside down when he’s forced to leave his ‘job of a lifetime’. When chance tosses him into the path of a very talented, and handsome young nurse, his life takes on a new direction he never could’ve anticipated.<br /><br />Cam’s focus had shifted from pursuing his musical passion to nursing. But a one-night stand quickly changes into so much more, especially when that one-night stand ends up helping to run his late grandmother’s resort.<br /><br />Career changes, inheritances, and a greedy corporation all make it seem impossible for these two men to make it. But, on the slopes of Colorado, they might just find love in the melody of the snow.</p>

<p><strong>Excerpt </strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I walked into the bar and immediately laid eyes on one of the most handsome men I’d ever seen. He was tall, though several inches shorter than me, and had that slim swimmer's build that made me thirst to touch him. The fact that I caught him checking me out made me smile. Maybe tonight was showing promise after all.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I was about to walk over to him when the drag queen onstage began taunting him. After others joined in on it, he climbed onto the stage and started singing.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>At first, I thought he had to be lip-syncing, because no way did someone randomly sing that well.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Of course, the more I watched from my vantage point, a head taller than most people at the bar, I realized it was actually his voice.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I sat and listened, mesmerized, as he ran through a full set of songs. He was about to leave the stage when the crowd demanded more, and during the pause in performing, I had enough sense to pull my phone out and record his final song.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>As he began to sing Queen’s<em> “</em>Somebody to Love,” I felt my heart beat a little quicker. I wanted to be his somebody to love. <em>No, fuck that, no.</em> I needed to find somebody for the night, somebody to get my rocks off with, that was it. Once I started working for my aunt, my next opportunity to get away would be… well, probably too long to even think about.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I made my way toward the stage the moment he began the final bars of the song, recording him on my phone as I went. I wanted to be the first person he ran into as he came offstage, because I wanted him with all I had in me, especially after hearing his sultry singing voice.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The energy between us sparked, and it only took him a moment to agree to a hookup. When he snapped my picture and texted it to his friend, it made me like him that much more.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>As a deputy, how often had I advised college kids to do that very thing? “Let someone know who you’re leaving with,” I’d imparted dozens of times. Even in our small town, several lives could’ve been spared if the kids had abided by that simple rule.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>By the time he returned, I was beginning to salivate at the thought of having this sexy man’s body wrapped around mine.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I wasn’t one for physical affection outside the bedroom, but when he took my hand as we drove my rental to the hotel, I didn’t pull away. This guy felt different, like more than just a quick fuck, although that’s all it could possibly be.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Soon I would be headed for the mountains, miles away from Denver, in the height of winter. At best, I’d only get back here in the spring. More likely, though, my aunt would have me working so many hours I’d be lucky to see Denver next summer.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>This was a one-night stand, but damn, I was going to enjoy every minute.</p>
