excerpt

“Now is not the time. If we’re here it’s for a good reason.” He ran a hand down the back of his neck.

Kenny rested his glass on the table. “Listen to your boyfriend before you piss me off.”

I opened my mouth to say more but stopped.

“You think I give a shit about the bartender hearing you talk about the dead body in my trunk?” He cocked his head sideways, several heads turned.

“She’s done.” Slade touched my arm. “She won’t say another god damn thing.”

I shut my mouth when his hand slammed down on the table, the hand that killed my dad.

Kenny put an arm around me and pointed across the room. “See the blonde?”

I searched the crowd of drunks and found a skinny blonde wiping a table.

“She’s the girl who can bring your daddy back to life. Unless of course you’ve changed your mind and want us to dump him on the side of the road somewhere.”

I pulled away from his fingers toying with my hair. “I haven’t changed my mind.”

“Alright, work your magic.”

I waited for Slade to stand.

“Why can’t you go ask her?” I looked at Kenny. He made everything so complicated.

“I don’t know why I didn’t think about that.” He nodded at the bartender and took his glass. “Oh that’s right. She hates me.” I sighed. “Doesn’t everyone?”

Slade interrupted us. “What’s the issue?”

“I sort of beat the shit out of her husband and threatened to make the rest of her life miserable.” He shrugged.

“And you think we can convince her to help?” I rolled my eyes. “By the way is there anyone that can stand you or do you like it that way?”

Slade shook his head.

Kenny raised an eyebrow. “I love how even though you know I hold your dad’s life in my hands you’re willing to talk shit to me. It’s kind of a turn on.”

I swallowed.

Slade sat his beer on the table. “I said we would help. I didn’t say I’d let you sexually harass my girl.”

“You call it sexual harassment. I call it foreplay.”

I grabbed my drink the sweat soaking my fingers. “What are we supposed to say to her?”

“Say whatever you need to, do whatever you need to. Just get her to agree to a meeting.” Kenny downed his. “And do it fast she’s off soon.”

synopsis

Mia the saint. Kolton the sinner.

Kolton Royce is a tatted, bad boy rock star at the top of his game. Mia Phoenix is an overly responsible nineteen-year-old striving for stardom since losing her parents in a house fire.

When Mia ends up on Kolton’s team for the debut of the new nationwide singing competition, The Stage, she’s not sure if it’s her or her voice that he’s hellbent to control.

After he takes special interest in her welfare, they’ve been warned, any contact between them outside of filming is strictly forbidden.

He has other ideas.

She’s a phoenix rising from the ashes, the only one who understands the pain that lies beneath the persona. Though he’s not sure if he’s too bad for her, he can’t stay away.

excerpt

Chemistry

“Kole,” I whisper, and feel him shiver as I push my stomach up against his knees.

“Mia, if you don’t move back to your seat—”

“What, Kole? What will happen?” And when I call him that again his eyes shut, his legs tense up as I push up against them with my stomach. He opens his legs; his hand comes up from his thigh and moves to my lower back. His eyes move to mine as I slide in up to his chest. It’s so intimate, the way he’s touching me, and he smells so good. Slowly, his other hand moves up to cradle my neck.

“A kiss,” he whispers, pulling me closer. “Just a kiss and then we stop,” he says, his breath warm on my face. I nod my head as he bites his lip again, his gaze on my mouth. It feels like slow motion as he moves in, tilting his head to the left.

When his lips meet mine, they feel softer than I’d expected. His lips are wet and soft. Needy. They take and take, and I’m struggling to keep up with his pace. His tongue finds mine and the sensation tingles down my spine, all the way to my feet. I want more. I can’t get enough of his lips. His gifted tongue makes me feel like fire’s inside me forcing itself through the pores of my skin. And I know, until this moment, I’ve never truly been kissed. Not like this.

As we suckle each other’s lips, and moan, and lick, his hand moves down and cups me, his fingers moving in from behind to the hallow spot between my thighs. I push into his fingers, trying to find some relief from all of this physical teasing. He pulls me up onto his lap, legs spread, knees hitting the back seat. He finds my neck, nips and sucks—giving me a moment to catch my breath as he flicks his tongue all the way up to behind my ear. Under me, I feel his length filling out, trying to reach me through our clothes. My lips feel swollen and raw as the air inside the car starts to remind me his mouth has just been there.

Possessively, he moves his lips down my chest until he reaches the curve of my cleavage. Then I feel teeth sinking into the soft flesh there. I gasp, shove both hands in his hair. My head flings backward. One of his hands is kneading and feeding me into his mouth. The other is still pushing against the seam in my jeans, forcing me to rock into his swollen length to ease the building pressure. The sounds I’m making sound foreign to me. Primal.

Then, he growls. His hands move up to the collar of my shirt. I feel pressure and hear a loud rip. When I look down, my shirt’s completely open and tattered. My bra is pushed down so the cup is lifting my left breast up and out.

Kolton pulls away, pushing me at the same time as if I’m something he doesn't’ want anymore. With his long fingers, he gently pulls my bra back up, covering my breast, and then hastily yanks the tattered seems of my shirt together. The look on his face is shock. Anger. Disgust.

“Kolton?” I ask. “What’s wrong?” He doesn’t answer me, and he won’t look at me, his chest is moving up and down as he’s trying to catch his breath. I touch my swollen lips, as my eyebrows furrow together. I move off of his lap and push my back into the corner of the seat, as far away from him as I can get.

Why is he ignoring me? Why is he so disgusted by me? The car stops, and I realize we’re at the Wilshire Thayer. Kolton rolls down the partition glass.

“Can you pull us into the garage?” he asks Devon, unable to mask the emotion in his voice.

“Sure thing,” Devon responds. I didn’t know there was a parking garage here. As Devon drives through the garage entrance and down under the building, I pull my knees up to my chest and squeeze my eyes shut.

I feel the car stop and then hear Kolton say, “Devon, can you go upstairs and get me a jacket for Mia?”

“Yes,” he says, as I open my eyes and watch Devon walk toward the elevator door. I’m shaking with adrenaline, breathless, still completely turned on, swollen and achy for him—which makes me seethe.

“I don’t want you getting out of the car with your shirt open like that,” Kolton says, his face is stone cold, and he’s now resting his knuckles on his lips. I don't respond. I hate him right now. I just want to be as far away from him as I can be. I contemplate just running out of the car, but I’m sure he’d chase me. It’d make it worse for me if we made a scene and someone took a picture or something.

No, he won’t chase me, I think, but I don’t want anyone to see me like this with my shirt ripped open, so I wait. Kolton adjusts himself in his pants. When I look down, he’s still obviously aroused, but why, then—why push me away? Did I do something wrong. That was the opposite of frigid. I’ve never felt like that before. Ever.

“Why did you want to kiss me?” he asks. He seems so genuine, but I hate him so I don’t answer. “Answer me.”

“I don’t know. You were talking about your mom—I.” I look down, confused.

“I went too far,” he whispers. “But this is not your fault.”

“You’re right. You went too far—and I want off your team next week.” To this, his eyes shut. I wipe a humiliated-tear from my cheek. The door opens and Devon hands Kolton a leather jacket from his room-sized closet collection.

I reach to take it, but Kolton moves his arm away so I can’t. “Just a minute,” he says, sliding forward and motioning for me to scoot my back away from the inside of the car.

“No.”

“Just—do what I say for once. They you can get away from me. Okay? Lean forward.”

When I do, I feel his warm breath as he wraps the jacket around my shoulders. I take a deep breath. It smells of him. Cologne, and Kolton. All man.

Gently, he coaxes me to put my arms in. It makes my heart ache. He’s so gentle with me, like I’m a porcelain doll with a hairline crack.

He cautiously moves my hair off my face and then pulls the length of my hair out of the back of the jacket. I watch his long fingers as he feeds the zipper in, moving it slowly up my front. I’m tingling and aching for him again. “I’ll think about your request,” he says, his voice soft, controlled. “But the team you’re on at the end of next week will be up to me.”

“I’m moving out of your apartment,” I say. I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m not staying here under his control anymore.

“What about Riley?” he asks. “Deloris is my employee and she’s going to take care of Riley in my apartment.” He knows I have nothing. I can’t really leave. He knows I need him.

“It’s just a few more weeks until I go back to Sac. What are you going to do then?” His jaw twitches and he glares at me.

“You’ll have to come back. It’s just a few months off. Deloris will be with you.” But he looks worried about it.

“I will never trust you, Kolton. Never,” I say, and watch his face change in front of me. I know that hurts him. “Because you’re an asshole. A controlling asshole,” I say, forcing myself away from the heat of his body. I purposely sever the draw of my soul to his, find the door handle, and bolt out. My heels clicking as I run atop the concrete floor of the parking garage. I’m frantically tapping the button for the elevator when I hear him approaching me from behind.

I keep my back to him. When the doors open, I step inside. As the doors are closing behind me, I turn and catch a glimpse of Kolton standing there, helplessly watching me leave. The look on his face is pure conflict, pain, and remorse.

The doors press together, closing him out, and I’m pulled upward. What have we done? I’m drenched in his scent, lips swollen and body singing from his hands having been all over me. Do I even want to try and understand him when I can barely understand myself? He’ll burn me. Consume me. I know I have to protect myself. But with every interaction, he’s making that harder to do.

RELEASE DAY BLITZ- Lucky Numbers by: Kelly Gendron


synopsis


Although a part of a series, this book can be read as a STAND ALONE.

One locked safe, a troublemaking tattoo, and two determined people… add up to unlocked secrets and a love that just won’t stop.

Luke “Lucky” O’Conner is a committed bachelor. His motto…“Nobody’s ever getting this Lucky.” So when Kaley Harlow walks into his tattoo shop and somehow leaves with the only record of the numbers to his new safe tattooed on her sexy little hip, Lucky’s motto is threatened. If he wants to see those numbers again, he has to get close. Closer than he’s ever gotten to any woman. And he has three weeks to do it.

Kaley Harlow, a happily washed-up former child star, is out to ruin her reputation. She’s through with people looking at her like she’s still that innocent little girl in pigtails. Not to mention, her agent has just signed her up for a movie contract. But, really, all Kaley wants is to start a new life and finally go to college.

When Lucky happens into Kaley’s life for the second time, the hot, tattooed badass is exactly what she needs to sabotage her image. But this badass has a secret, one that could ruin more than just Kaley’s reputation.

teaser...excerpt

Excerpt

“Put your hand under your dress,” he said, his thumb still stroking that damn wet beer bottle like it was her clit. Kaley turned to see if anyone was watching.

“Hey!” Lucky’s stern voice whipped her head back to him. “Look at me. Don’t worry about anyone else. I’ll warn you if someone is coming.” His feet spread her legs farther apart. “Where you’re sitting, I’m the only person who can see you. Now, do as I say, unless you want me to stop.”

His daring eyes held hers, and all discretion slipped out of her grasp. She gave him his answer by dropping her hand beneath the table.

“That’s good,” he rasped, deep and low. “Now place your hand on your thigh and slide up to the top of it. Are you there yet?”

She nodded.

“I want you to grip it hard.”

With her heart racing and wishing his hand was there instead of hers, her fingers dug into her flesh.

His eyes raping her of any reluctance, he bent forward and grunted, “Harder.”

Noting all the hot spots, the tight grip he had on the beer, his biceps and the tattoos bulging from the cut of his sleeves, his mouth that lay slightly open, Kaley squeezed tighter.

“Are you wet?”

“Yes,” she gasped, clinging tighter to her thigh. “I’m so wet.”

His tongue tapped his top lip. “Are you throbbing?”

“God, I’m aching for you,” she said, and she meant it, for she wanted nothing more than his tongue on her.

“Kaley,” he said, swaying closer, tempting her, “tell me, is your pussy mine?”

“Yes,” she breathed out. “It’s all yours.”

“Then touch what is mine.”
