#WickedWednesday Dare to Hold

Hold #WickedWednesday Dare to Hold


“I know what you need, baby. Let me take the edge off of your stress.” He braced his hands on her hips and moved her back and forth, heeding her soft sighs and increasingly rapid breathing. He gritted his teeth at the heated press of her mound against his confined cock, promising himself release later. This wasn’t about him. Since he’d met Meg, nothing he did was about anyone or anything other than her. “Oh, Scott. This feels so good.” Her hips shifted restlessly, her lower body gyrating hard against him.

Consumed By the Dare by Casey Hagen Click here to buy it


Casey Hagen London Abbott, head librarian of the Bronx Public Library, is determined to turn a reading initiative into a raving success, solidifying the career and financial security she craves. Adding the burden of a tag-along playboy trying to improve his tarnished image is a stressor London doesn’t need, but when a trusted friend calls in a favor, she’s saddled with bad-boy football star Ryker Christiansen.


Ryker never imagined his lucrative contract with the Miami Thunder would ever be at risk, but after too many nights of partying he’s told to repair his tattered reputation or be terminated. Sent to New York to preen for the media and show his altruistic side by working with children and seniors, he’s committed to sitting in a Bookmobile with antsy kids, ornery seniors, and taking orders from a snotty librarian.


Unsympathetic, London tests Ryker’s mettle without mercy. He earns her respect by meeting every challenge she creates, proving he’s more than just one more overindulged athlete. But there is one more prize he’s determined to win, so he dares London to step out of her carefully constructed world for a walk with him on the wild side.


London expects to bring Ryker down a notch or two, but as their slow-burning heat erupts into sexual flames, the intensity of the fire threatens to either destroy their hearts or forge them together. Discovering which comes with a price. Will they emerge stronger? Or are they destined to be…Consumed by the Dare.


 


Casey Hagen is a debut contemporary romance author releasing her first book, Falling in Fiji, in October. She writes her stories from the dense, green wilderness of the Delaware National Forest, Middle of Nowhere, Pennsylvania. She’s a born and raised Vermont native with Ben & Jerry’s in her heart and real Vermont maple syrup pumping through her veins.


Over the years, Casey has dabbled in a wide variety of professions. She worked in the States Attorney’s office, created beautiful works of art as a florist, slaved to the public in retail, taught preschool (and potty trained eleven two-year-olds at the same time), and finally, she owned and operated her own residential cleaning business for over a decade. She is also the new Vice President of the Penn Jersey Women Writers Guild.


Casey is the proud mother of three girls, two of which are successful college students…yay! She resides with her youngest daughter, husband, and two cats. Her days are spent in her new office that she proudly admits they would need dynamite to blast her out of! When she’s not working she can be found chasing after her youngest with a camera (much to her youngest daughter’s embarrassment) or on the golf course with her real life hero!Author Media Links

Sizzling Dare by Taige Crenshaw Click here to buy it


Taige When circumstances forces adversaries together in a common goal they’re powerless against the sizzle…


Tiana Malik thrives on being in control and doesn’t do anything that she doesn’t want to. Yet, she finds herself having to give up some of her control to help out her brother. She needs to intervene or her brother’s career as a defensive back for the Miami Thunder will be over. Swallowing her pride she faces the one man that she vowed never to ask for anything. Jameson irks her beyond all reason, but he is her brother’s best friend—her last hope to get through to her stubborn twin. For her brother, she will do anything even face Jameson and ask for his help even if it galls her to do so. The man aggravates her and attracts her all at once. She refuses to give into her baser instincts. She is in control….maybe.


Jameson Williams can’t believe the ice queen is asking him for help. Since he planned to step in to help his best friend any way, he doesn’t mind saying yes. Usually he avoids the tightly wound woman who makes him want to shake her out of her controlled exterior. Although she is aggravating, he can’t help but grudgingly respect her for her unwavering loyalty to her brother. He’ll work with her so they can save her brother’s career before it’s too late. Although she is under his skin he won’t give in…maybe.


They have forced to work together to help a man they both care about. But a passion neither expects awakens….going from a flicker to a sizzle that they are powerless against. Will they dare to give in?

With interracial and multicultural novels set in today, in alternate dimensions, or in the future she writes with adventure, fun sassy heroine’s, and sexy hero’s.

London With A Dare by Jennifer Conner and Angela Ford Click here to buy it


Angela-Jennifer 


Chapple Palmer is the captain of one of the top soccer teams in the world, the London Lions. He should get more respect, but due to bad press he has a bad boy reputation in the British tabloids that he can’t seem to shake. In fact, he’s even beginning to believe the things they say about him. Chapple knows his playing days are numbered and the last thing he needs is to be stuck babysitting an American billionaire, Ian Dare and his wife, who are there to promote Dare’s American football team’s exhibition game in London.


Elisha Sheppard is fairly new at being the Dare’s scheduling assistant. She knows how important it is to stay professional and detail oriented at every moment. So why is Elisha letting herself be distracted by Chapple Palmer who she can guess is nothing but trouble, not to mention a heart-breaker? Why is she finding it so easy to say yes to his every invitation when her brain is screaming no?


After a disastrous sexual encounter with Elisha, Chapple realizes that he’s proved the truth in all the tabloid rumors. Why would Elisha even talk to him? How can he make it up to her? Chapple feels a connection with Elisha he hasn’t felt with a woman in a long time. If she’ll give him another chance, he’ll prove to her that he’s the lover she’s only dreamed of. But can he also trust her with his heart?

Daring to Try by Cassandra Carr Click here to buy it
 
Cassandra  Wide receiver Taylor Wilkinson’s worst nightmare has come true. As a member of the Miami Thunder professional football team, Taylor has always prided himself on staying in shape and playing smart. What he didn’t count on was a three hundred twenty pound defensive lineman tackling him and using his body to cushion his own fall to the turf. Over the roar of the crowd on Thanksgiving Day, Taylor heard the pop in his shoulder and knew things would never be the same.

Fresh out of surgery to repair the double break in his collarbone, his season is over. After ten years in the league, Taylor fears his career might be too – not many players last into their thirties in professional football. Pinning his hopes on Sherryl Stoddard, the best sports psychologist in Miami, he’s ready to do whatever it takes to get over his fears and back onto the field. Now, if only he could stop thinking about Sherryl’s curves…


 
 
 
Cassandra Carr is a multi-award winning writer. When not writing she enjoys rooting for her beloved hockey team – the Buffalo Sabres, taking her daughter on grand adventures, and binge watching TV shows. Cassandra’s books have won numerous “Best Book Of” awards and her novella Power Shift (former title Unexpected Top) was nominated in the E-book Erotic Romance category of RT’s Reviewers’ Choice Awards.

She thinks the best part of being a writer is penning stories in her made-up worlds while most others struggle with commutes, micro-managing bosses and cranky co-workers.

A Secret Dare by Donna McDonald Click here to buy it
 
DonnaTheir love was no secret, but did he dare tell her the rest of the truth?


Aurora Snow has a secret—one she inherited from her dying mother. Now she has to decide what to do about it, which is especially hard when she doesn’t believe it can be true. For over forty years, she’s never cared about what her mother was hiding about the past. Why should learning about her father change anything now? She’s happy with herself, her art, and the new man in her life. Jeremiah is everything she ever dreamed of finding in a man. Isn’t the perfect lover really all a woman needs to be happy?


Jeremiah Cranston has secrets. The biggest is that he’s fallen crazily in love with the target of his investigation. His boss is already upset that he’s sleeping with her. Jeremiah’s more upset that he’s having to lie to Aurora about his purpose in her life. Finding out she’s a Dare would be the worst thing possible for both of them, even if it is his job to do just that. When all his secrets are revealed to Aurora, it’s going to be hard as hell for him to protect a woman who hates him.


 
Donna McDonald After 35 years of doing everything for a living except writing books, I finally published my first romance novel in March of 2011. Thirty novels later, I am living my own “happily ever after” life as a full time romance author. I give back to the universe by hanging out to write at local coffee shops and keeping them in business. Addicted to making readers laugh, I include a good dose of humor in every book.

NOTE FROM AUTHOR: Thank you for visiting my Amazon Author page and for choosing to buy my books. I love to hear from readers and will try my best to answer back. You are truly the reason I write. Happy Reading!

#TeaserTuesday Dare to Submit

CarlyPhillips_DareToSubmit_800 #TeaserTuesday Dare to Submit


At work and in his personal life, Decklan laid out the facts and the truth. He didn’ t tolerate BS or lies. With this woman, who eyed him with an intense amount of distrust coupled with a healthy dose of desire, at least when she thought he wasn’ t looking, he intended to do the same. They sat together at the bar. He ordered two club sodas and let her drink in silence, waiting until she was definitely over whatever had happened with Mike. She was. The tense quiet between them now had everything to do with them. She didn’ t trust him, and his gut said the reasons went deep. When she put down her drink and met his gaze, he decided it was time. “I’ m Decklan Dare.” He held out his hand. “Amanda Collins.” She accepted the gesture, placing her smaller palm against his.He immediately slid a thumb over the pulse point in her wrist, pleased with the rapid beat that told him she wasn’ t immune. Just wary. Wary he could deal with. Now that he was here, he was in for the night. She attempted to tug her hand back, but he held on tightly, keeping his thumb pressed against her skin. It was his human lie detector, and with this one, he felt sure he’ d need it.

DIRTY SEXY TEASER – DIRTY SEXY SAINT – OUT NOW!

“I’m not going to lie by the end of this snippet today you are all going to want to go buy this book because its OMG AMAZING!” Heather, The Book Reading Gals







 


out now - dark DIRTY SEXY SAINT


Clay waited until the two were gone and he heard Tara lock the main door before he turned around to deal with the blonde. He strolled toward her end of the bar, where she was running her finger along the rim of her shot glass, her chin propped in her hand. As he approached, her heavy-lidded gaze shifted his way, then slid down the length of his body, blatantly checking him out.


When her bluer-than-blue eyes found their way back up to his face, a soft sigh escaped her lips. “You are sooo freakin’ hot,” she said, her unfiltered comment a good indication that she was well and truly intoxicated. Then she glanced down at her empty glass and frowned. “I think I need another Royal Fuck, or maybe you could give me a Screaming Orgasm.” She giggled like a naughty little girl, so cute and impish. “I’ve never asked a guy for a Screaming Orgasm before, but that last one was so good I want another.”


The corner of his mouth twitched with undeniable amusement. Damn, he didn’t want to like her. Didn’t want to see her as anything more than the rich, privileged woman she appeared to be. The inconvenience he’d referred to earlier, and it was that thought that prompted him to put an end to her evening.


He took the shot glass from her fingers and set it in the sink beneath the bar. “I think you’ve had enough Royal Fucks and Screaming Orgasms for tonight, Cupcake.”


“Cupcake?” Her pretty eyes lit up, her complexion rosy and flushed from the alcohol. “I like cupcakes. I like to make them, and I like to eat them. And when no one’s looking, I like to lick the frosting,” she said in a low, secretive whisper.


Fuck. He wanted to lick her frosting, starting with her lush mouth and moving to her full breasts and tight nipples, then working his way lower, where she no doubt tasted sweeter than sugar. Those dirty thoughts sifted through his mind, along with a sudden jolt of arousal that had him gritting his teeth.


His physical attraction to her was unlike anything he’d ever experienced, so raw and hot and immediate. She wasn’t even close to being his type of woman, but she was such an enigma, and the kind of temptation he knew would be nothing but trouble. With a shake of his head—mainly to jog some sense into his brain—he went to the register and printed up her bill. When he turned back around, he found her gaze in the vicinity of where his ass had been, and she was now shamelessly eyeing his crotch.


She slowly licked her lips and raised her glassy eyes back to his. “That Blow Job I had was pretty tasty, too,” she said huskily, a faint hint of wickedness in her voice. “Maybe I’ll have another one of those.”


A hotter-than-fuck image of her soft, pink lips wrapped around his cock as she sucked him off emblazoned itself in his mind. His unruly dick was totally on board with that idea, and he swallowed back a groan.


Jesus Christ, she was killing him.


“The bar is closed and it’s getting late.” He placed the slip of paper on the bar in front of her. “If I can get you to settle your tab, we’ll get you on your way.” And he was certain he’d never see her again, thank God.


That frown came back again, along with a hint of worry creasing her brows. She reached into her purse, fumbled around the contents for a few seconds, then withdrew a wallet with the same pattern that was on her handbag. With clumsy fingers, she tried to slide a credit card from its slot, and when she finally managed the feat, she gave it to him.


He stared for a moment at the American Express Black Card. He’d heard that they existed, knew that the exclusive credit card was reserved for the obscenely wealthy, but had never seen one before. His bar clientele was strictly blue collar and paid in cash or with a standard credit or debit card. As he walked back to the register, he glanced at the name imprinted on the plastic card.


Samantha Jamieson.


Yeah, she looked like a Samantha, he thought, and ran the card through the system. A few seconds later, the word DECLINED showed up on the display. Certain that was a mistake, he swiped it again…and the reply remained the same.


Holy shit. Had she really maxed out one of the highest-limit credit cards available? He hadn’t seen that coming. He returned to Samantha, but before he could say anything, she looked up at him with wide, knowing eyes.


“It didn’t work, did it?” she asked in a pained voice.


“Umm, no,” he replied, and handed her back the card. “Do you have a different one you’d like to use?” He was certain she had half a dozen credit cards to choose from.


She swallowed hard and shook her head. “No. None of them will work,” she said softly, disbelief etching her beautiful features. “He really did it. My father completely cut me off,” she mumbled in resignation.


Before he could process that interesting statement, she swayed on her chair, and Clay instinctively reached across the bar to grab her arms before she fell off her seat and ended up on the floor on her ass. She clutched his forearms as she tilted to the side again.


“The room is starting to spin.” Her eyes squinted in a frown as she tried to focus on him. “And you look…a little fuzzy.”


Oh, yeah, the cupcake was drunk. He no longer cared about her bill, but he needed to figure out what to do with her. “Samantha, I need your cell phone so I can call someone to pick you up.”


“Got rid of it,” she murmured as she pressed her fingers to her temple. “Don’t want my father to find me.”


Her responses were getting stranger and stranger, and he had no idea if what she was speaking was the truth or the alcohol talking. Who got rid of their cell phone because they were worried someone would find them—unless they were running from trouble? And now she was his problem. Fucking great.


He gently pulled her forward so her arms were resting on the counter, supporting most of her weight so she didn’t tip to the side again. He quickly moved around the bar, then turned her around on the chair so that she was facing him. She blinked up at his face, looking so sad, so forlorn, that he felt an odd tightening in his chest.


He exhaled a frustrated stream of breath. “There has to be someone I can call. Or how about I get your address from your driver’s license and have a cab take you home—”


She shook her head wildly, sending that cloud of silky blonde hair cascading over her shoulders. “I can’t go home. Don’t make me go back home.”


He really wanted to be a cold, cruel bastard and send her home anyway so she was no longer his headache, but considering her emotional state, and the alcohol in her system, she was at a huge disadvantage and would never be able to deal logically with whatever she was running from.


Fuck, fuck, fuck.


She reached out and clutched a handful of his T-shirt, her eyes shimmering with moisture. “Oh, God, what have I done? I don’t have…anything. I don’t have any money, nowhere to go…” As if finally realizing how dire her situation was, she threw herself against his chest and burst into tears. @CP Publishing 2016
