Red Zone

Red Zone releases today!

A Boys of Fall story

Unlike so many of his teammates, Joel never left small-town Quinn after high school. Coach Carr offered him a full-time job on his ranch, and Joel was more than happy to stay near family. In his downtime, Joel good-naturedly competes with his best bud Oakley for the sexy local bartender’s attention, but Sadie repeatedly turns down their frequent requests for dates. She doesn’t want to come between the two friends…until a little too much champagne at a wedding reception leads to a sizzling encounter. In that moment, Joel and Oakley know they’ll never make Sadie choose — she can have them both.

A no-strings affair between the trio turns complicated when it becomes clear there’s nothing casual about their feelings. Add in a sensual, accidental touch between Joel and Oakley, and those feelings become intense times a thousand. It’s an emotional game of chance, one they may ultimately lose…but if they can reach the Red Zone, Joel, Oakley and Sadie have a chance at the biggest score of their lives.

Warning: This is a full-contact story with scenes of m/m/f sex.

Be sure to also check out the other new Boys of Fall books out today as well: Illegal Motion by Erin Nicholas and Going Deep by Cari Quinn.

Excerpt:

She allowed Oakley to take her hand and lead her to the taxi as Joel pressed his palm against her lower back. She caught more than a few sideways glances from people as the three of them left together. God only knew what everyone was thinking.

Actually, Sadie had a pretty good notion what they thought. As she climbed into the cab—Joel and Oakley doing exactly as she’d expected as they trapped her in the middle—she wondered if the dirty-minded people didn’t have a great idea.

Oakley kept hold of her hand, his fingers absentmindedly toying with her rings. Joel leaned closer, his arm draping around her along the backseat. Sadie gave the driver her address, though it was hard to speak with a dry mouth.

They hadn’t been in the cab more than two minutes before the darkness of the night wrapped them up in a cocoon that wasn’t lost on the guys.

Joel’s fingers began to stroke the nape of her neck—dear God, that was one of her favorite erogenous zones—as Oakley’s hand released hers in favor of her knee.

“I like your dress,” Oakley murmured.

She’d wondered when she bought it if it was too short for a fall wedding, but had decided fuck it. She’d liked it because it showed off all the assets she felt like revealing perfectly. She hadn’t cared about the old biddies giving her the hairy eyeball as much as she’d wanted to find a lover for the night.

Instead, she’d snared the wrong two guys.

Or the right two.

Oakley’s hand drifted higher and, because she didn’t have an ounce of self-restraint, she parted her legs in silent invitation.

Neither man missed the movement. Joel turned toward her, his fingers gripping her neck more firmly as he leaned closer to kiss her cheek.

Her eyes drifted closed, savoring the heat from his breath as his lips lingered there, stroking the sensitive skin of her face.

Oakley didn’t hesitate to explore deeper between her legs, his fingers lightly grazing her panties. They were wet, a dead giveaway to her desires, but it wasn’t as if she was pushing them away or protesting. Instead, she slid her hips forward a bit more, making sure Oakley had even better access.

The smart cowboy never missed a beat. Oakley dipped his finger beneath her silky panties and found her clit almost instantly.

Sadie sucked in a loud gasp, then pressed her lips closed tightly. The cab driver’s gaze found hers in the rearview mirror. There was no way she could play off the fact she was currently the cream filling in a cowboy Oreo, so she just winked at the guy.

What the hell did she care what he thought?

She didn’t give two fucks about what she thought either. The champagne had done its job well.

Oakley applied some pressure to her clit and the world shrank down to just that tiny spot. Well, that one and the one Joel was currently sucking on her neck.

Sadie was in serious danger of spontaneously combusting when the cab pulled up to the curb outside her apartment.

Oh, hell no. She was about to tell the guy to circle the block a few times, but Joel spoke before she could make the suggestion.

“Thanks.” He handed the guy a twenty, told him to keep the change and then he got out, reaching to help her. When she heard a second door close, she realized Oakley had gotten out too.

The cab drove away, leaving her on the curb, hot and bothered and still not alone.

“Did the plan change? I thought the taxi was taking you guys to the ranch.”

Oakley chuckled. “Do you want us to call him back?”

She shook her head. “Fuck no.”

Make sure to check out our other WTRAFSOG Box Sets here: http://amzn.to/XWaILq

This great new box set features ten erotic reads by a cast of NYT & USA Today best selling authors!

Dangerously Inked by Eden Bradley — When Aussie Dom Finn Carter spends New Year’s Eve in New Orleans at The Bastille, the city’s infamous BDSM club, a night of play with a beautiful sub leaves him wanting more—much more. But when the tattoo artist he has an appointment with turns out to be her, more than his flesh may be marked forever.

Cirque de Minuit by Annabel Joseph — A dark, taciturn trapezist lives in a lonely world of pain, until a fellow performer reaches out to him with her unique combination of innocence and recklessness. Before long the two are collaborating on an aerial act for the Cirque de Minuit.

Played By The Master by Opal Carew — Jacqueline crashes a billionaire’s exclusive poker game in order to seduce him into granting a favor to save her sister, but instead finds herself Played by the Master.

Black Jack by Mari Carr — When his best friend Emma calls in a favor, asking Jack to perform in a pirate fetish fantasy at the nightclub she manages, she inadvertently opens Pandora’s box—for both of them. As Jack’s secret desires come to light, Emma finds herself enmeshed in sensual explorations of BDSM, wax play, bondage and sex in public that leave her questioning her vanilla existence.

The Erotic Dark by Nina Lane — Submission is her only escape…and punishment takes many forms. Seeking escape from her criminal past, a desperate woman enslaves herself to a dark trio of men who own an antiquated Louisiana plantation.

Finding Submission by Megan Michaels — Preston Harrison was the picture of the gentleman Southern lawyer, as handsome and affable, as he was strict and precise, but he was more than a lawyer though — he was also a Dom. Being the only daughter of a respected Judge should’ve set Avery up for a life of ease, until she ran afoul of the law.

Owned by M. Never — “I like you collared, baby. I like you naked, I like you mine.” Ellie Stevens has lusted over Kayne Roberts since he first walked into the import/export company she works for a little over a year ago. She kept a safe distance from the man with the majestic blue eyes – until temptation finally gets the better of her.

Submission Therapy by Abi Aiken & Rozlyn Sparks — Bad girl billionaire Christina Pocock is used to being on top. A hard-nosed and ruthless CEO. An obsessive, compulsive micro-manager who trusts nobody with her business. Public or private. Beneath that brittle facade, though, she’s a hot mess.

Storm: Episodes 1 & 2 by Tara Crescent — Timothy Banks is Hollywood’s hottest star. He is funny, charming and utterly sexy. I probably shouldn’t have named my vibrator after him. I probably shouldn’t have abandoned him in the middle of a winter storm. I probably shouldn’t have started playing BDSM games with him.

The Next Big Thing by Lucy Felthouse — Catriona’s life seems to be spiraling out of control. One minute she’s a successful investment banker with a flat by the Thames and a healthy bank balance, the next she’s a world-famous author. On launch day, curiosity gets the better of her and she goes into a busy London bookstore to queue up for her copy. A chance meeting leads to a whole lot more, giving Catriona the opportunity to experience the things she’s previously only fantasized about.

What’s Happening?

It occurred to me a few days ago that I’m very bad about sharing good news. As a result, I haven’t mentioned a few of the AMAZING things happening in my writing world right now. Shared some of this on Facebook a few days ago (if we’re not friend there, come find me here!), but I thought I’d put it here as well.

1. I signed a contract with Entangled for a Brazen book. It’s part of an awesome series with some super cool authors and will release mid-year 2016. Tentative title of my book is Never Say Never and it involves a hospital admin who enters an explosive affair with an ER nurse.

2. I am one of the hostesses of RT’s Friday night Cirque du Punk party in Vegas next year. I know people always think “shows” when they think of Vegas. Well, trust me, the Smutketeers and friends are putting together a show that will blow your mind. Rg Alexander-Rachel Grace has been helping me (the person most likely to NOT dress up) design my costume. I’m in love with everything she’s picked out and I can’t wait. Here’s a sneak peek at the wig I’m wearing! Hope everyone attending the conference makes plans to attend. This is a NOT to be missed party!

3. Something Sparked released last week and I’m delighted with the kind reviews and positive comments from readers. Believe me, I’m a worrier. Hearing all these nice things has had me grinning from ear to ear for days. And for one brief, beautiful, blink-and-you-missed-it moment, it was number one on a list over at Kobo (a first for me). If you missed the book, it’s an m/m/f romance with two sexy-as-sin firefighters. Just sayin’.

4. And finally, this weekend I will be in Boston with one of my favorite people on the planet, Erin Nicholas, as we do a little “research” on the city. I’m preparing to write the next Trinity Masters book, while she has something truly wonderful coming down the pike.

As you can see, there’s lots happening. I’ll try to be better about remembering to share the fun stuff! My super-crazy-busy summer has ended and while I’m back at work (boo), I’m starting to get back into my routine and catching up! Hoping to start posting more regularly again.

Oh! And I have a newsletter coming out next week. If you haven’t subscribed to get it yet, I’ll hope you’ll take a second to do so now.
