Big Sky Pre-Order!

I originally released BIG SKY back in 2012 before dark romance was yet officially “a thing”. There wasn’t the big ready and hungry audience (that sounds a little dirty but whatever, you knew what you were clicking on!), for these kinds of books. So I always felt like BIG SKY could have done better and reached a wider audience.

There were a BUNCH of 1 and 2 star reviews but most of them were because they didn’t like the dark content. A few were for the open-ended ambiguous ending (Though the re-release has a new epilogue from Luke’s POV, and it is EPIC, and solves that “ambiguous ending” problem.) Plus the cover wasn’t that ‘dark’ looking.

But it remains one of my best books for those who love my books, and it’s definitely one of my darkest.

So if you haven’t read this one, it’s re-releasing this Wednesday at a special $2.99 introductory price with a hot sexy dark new cover, the epilogue from Luke (which occurs 5 minutes after the ending of BIG SKY so it’s not some “3 years later” cop-out) And there’s also a Behind The Scenes With Kitty author’s note at the end.

This is a dark contemporary standalone.

“Big Sky is my favorite Kitty Thomas story. It’s taboo, hot, and so memorable, that years later I can still remember my feelings while reading.” ~ Aleatha Romig New York Times bestselling author

“I’ve broken horses. I have never-ending patience with women.”

I’d lost my job and was about to be homeless when a sinfully attractive man offered me a job on his ranch that felt too good to be true.

I turned him down, but he wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Now I’m his captive, a domestic servant on his beautiful ranch in the middle of nowhere–for my own good, supposedly.

And of course he wants so much more from me than domestic labor.

What Readers are Saying

Holy f*ck. That was disturbing.

I LOVED IT!” – Eda, Goodreads

I imagine Luke’s tagline to be “FLORIDA MAN….”
Such a complex character, I can’t help but FEEL for him! He does this awful thing- kidnapping a woman who was practically homeless- he knows it’s wrong by HER definition. HE FEELS and he cares. He wasn’t a cruel lover to her (imo), but my goodness he sure did know how to push her limits…

I can see why all my GR friends are in love with this author, I think I love her too. The writing is so beautiful, I love everything about it. To the characters, the scenes, her mentioning the fucking sky and the fucking dialogues. HELLO SO GOOD.” -Benevolent Bastard, Goodreads

Well, this book was amazing..how sick am I…I loved it!!!” – Lynn, Goodreads

Nhaughty V is handing out 5 Fucktastic-Freaky as Fuck Stars to Kitty Thomas’ Big Sky! First off, I’m ashamed that I had this book on my TBR pile for so long I forgot I hadn’t read it! Then saw it being discussed in a group, and I was like, WTF? I don’t remember that, so I dashed off and started reading…OMFG! Did that just happen? They did what? Is that a thing? Is it wrong it’s kinda hawt? Ok, enough fan girl blah blah blah! Let’s do this!

Veronica “Ronnie” Carson is all about material pleasures with no fucks given as to cost or the consequences for her spending extravaganzas! Finding herself friendless, homeless and destitute, she is “rescued” by a handsome stranger. And this version of “rescue” is a smexxy cowboy tying her up like she’s the grand prize at the local rodeo, and driving her out to his ranch to become his and his fellow ranch hands little “milk maid”. For reals! Apparently, milk does the body good!” -NhaughtyV, Goodreads

“These are not your average wedding stories.Kitty doesn’t exactly do average anyway so that shouldn’t even be an assumption you have of this.” – Morgan, Goodreads reader

And now a word from Colin Black:

I’m not going to fucking hit her or anything—at least not with a fist. She isn’t a man. Men get punched, women get spanked. Or paddled. Or cropped. Or caned. I’m not a complete monster.

I pick up the phone on my nightstand. It doesn’t dial out. I’ve long given up my landline for the ease and convenience of my cell. The phone is wired up as an intercom system to dial downstairs now.

Jeffrey picks up on the third ring. “Yes, Sir?”

“I need some ointment and bandages to tend to the girl’s injuries.”

“I’ll bring them up right away.”

Jeffrey has been with me for the last ten years. He’s a man of few words, no questions, and no judgment. He’s seen the dirtiest of my dealings both in blood and in sex, and he hasn’t once flinched. Frankly that makes me wonder about him, but there was nothing concerning in his background check.

Half the business I do these days is off the books. I’ve somehow gotten into shit in the past five years that would shock the mob. And I’ve started behaving like a mob boss in how I deal with my problems. More than one person has conveniently disappeared after threatening me with multi-million dollar lawsuits. I just don’t like threats. They bother me. Especially threats that involve me having less money.

It’s definitely not how my father handled the business, but I’ve become addicted to the power of it all and the feeling of invincibility. I’m either a sociopath or an adrenaline junkie, possibly some combination of both. I’ve taken things many steps farther than my father ever did, both by dealing with my problems in unconventional and illegal ways, and by my sexual habits which run equally dark.

If Soren were any other person in the world, his decision to fuck with my business dealings—however inadvertent—would have cost him his life. Instead, I decided to be more petty and less lethal. Besides, I try not to shit where I eat, and Soren isn’t far removed enough from me to keep suspicion at bay if he turned up missing.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t concerned with my own thirst for other people’s blood and the guilt that never materializes over that reality. I sometimes wonder if there is a me inside this hollow shell at all. I know I’m not normal inside, but maybe I just have the balls to do what other men only fantasize about.

Maybe the problem is that I think life is a game. I’ve always thought this way. There’s a sort of unreal quality about everything in the world to me, and I often think of others as mere characters in a virtual world—characters in my own playground, as if they exist only to move my story forward—as if they don’t have their own personalities or desires; it’s mere window-dressing, the shallow backstory of extras.

But hey, maybe that’s what happened. Maybe technology advanced to the point that I really am playing a game set inside an earlier timeline. Yes, I know how that sounds. I know what it says about me. Crazy? Narcissist? I don’t know. But I’m not right inside. I know that much. And isn’t admitting you have a problem the first step?

Shouldn’t I get some sort of pin or ribbon for this?

And here I am, crossing yet another line. Initially I’d thought to get Soren to loan his blushing new bride to me, but he came up with something better… something sweet, that I can keep forever… with conditions.

That something sweet is of course the beautiful and innocent Macy Laine. The condition Soren gave me was that I had to secure her future. Legally. I had to marry her. From his twisted perspective this somehow protects her and alleviates his guilt because she’ll be provided for in a lifestyle she could have only dreamed about before. From my perspective it just seals her doom. Not all money is good money. And I am most definitely not good money.

But a wife looks good to the stockholders. If I’m going to have a body count, I need to look as normal and respectable on the outside as possible. And nobody will make me look more normal and respectable than Macy.

This girl is so innocent and sweet, she doesn’t even have so much as a traffic ticket on her record. I couldn’t resist the urge to taunt her, to suggest that I might deflower her, use her, train her to all my dark and twisted desires, then return her to the man she’s meant to marry.

Of course that was a lie. She’s mine.

What Readers Are Saying:

 
“Every time a new Kitty Thomas book comes our I think she cannot top the last story and once again I am wrong!” – Kelly, Goodreads.

“Colin was HOT. He oozed that strong quiet power that I adore. He was ruthless and powerful yet he was so careful with Macy, it’s a combination I love. 5 Sacrificial Stars!” – Charlie, Goodreads reader

A Slightly Spicy Teaser Scene:

I don’t even know if Griffin and Dayne know about these nightly phone calls. Then my entire body flushes as I realize Griffin and Dayne may be listening at this very moment. After all, Soren calls from his land line at the estate.

Someone else listening in is a distinct possibility because there’s more than one phone in his house—all connected to the same phone line. It feels oddly old-fashioned, and yet, he refuses to give up his land line even as he handles most business with his cell phone. He is the oldest thirty-seven-year-old man I know.

“Was your pussy wet at the pre-nup meeting today?” he asks without any warm up. And now that it’s occurred to me that Griffin and Dayne may not be making calls like this only because they’re enjoying the pleasure of listening to them, everything takes on an even more illicit tone.

“W-what?” I stammer.

He laughs. “You looked really turned on. I know that look.”

And he does. They all know that look. Even though they’ve behaved like monks when we’re together, it’s only because they don’t want me to get too comfortable with them before they’ve stolen all my freedom away. This act of waiting for the wedding night has become its own brand of kink. We don’t talk about it out loud, but I know we all feel it.

They’ve gotten used to this fantasy idea of me, the untouched virgin on her wedding night. And even though it isn’t true—I’m not in any way untouched—my long bout of celibacy means in some ways it’ll be like my first time. And it will definitely be my first time with three different people all touching me together. So there’s a strange truth to this extended role-play.

“I wasn’t turned on,” I say, “I was upset. I was mortified and humiliated, especially by what Griffin said.” I still can’t believe he said that. I’ve been romanticizing him somehow as my protector for months on the basis of a single interaction where he stepped in against Soren.

“Sure, Livia. You know, these lies won’t be tolerated when we’re married. You may get away with it now, but if you try this after you’ve pledged to honor and obey me, you will be punished. By all three of us.”

I swallow hard at this, trying to tamp down the stupid fucking excited arousal flooding my panties again. My body is in an all-out mutiny against my mind these days.

“You’re wet right now, aren’t you?”

“Y-yes,” I confess, clutching the phone more tightly.

We’re reciting traditional vows at the wedding. Very traditional vows—the ones where I will promise to honor and obey in front of hundreds of people. Royal weddings don’t even include the word obey for the bride anymore. But the idea of saying those words in front of all those people sends an erotic thrill down my spine. There is something deeply wrong with me.

“Are you ready for wedding preparations?” he asks.

The first time he called me and asked this question I thought he meant things like flavor of cake, or the dress, music, flowers, invitations, or the thousand tiny details of a wedding this large and lavish.

But that wasn’t what he meant. He was talking about me preparing my body so that I could receive them on the wedding night. He actually used those exact words, and my knees almost buckled beneath me as my breathing became more erratic. He’d only chuckled at my reaction.

“Yes, I’m ready for wedding preparations,” I say quietly. Demurely. Who is this person I become under the spell of his low rumbling voice?

“Good girl,” he growls. “And let me remind you, sweet Livia, these wedding preparations are for your benefit and protection. If you’re lying to me and not doing what I ask, it’s going to be a very painful and difficult wedding night for you which would be a fitting punishment for your deception.”

This isn’t the part of the story where the princess gets the prince. This is the part where she gets locked in the tower.

THE PROPOSAL: (Book 1)
 
Livia wants to get married. She’s tired of men stringing her along into being their forever girlfriend, so she decides to build a rotating harem and ruthlessly eliminate any man who fails to give her what she needs. But when the three men in her current dating rotation all know each other and decide they’re all taking her, will she be played once again?
 
THE SACRIFICE (Book 2)
 
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Macy caught the bouquet at Livia’s wedding and now finds herself engaged to William, a nice enough man she knew from college, but she isn’t attracted to him. And either way, Colin Black is about to turn her world upside down when he accepts her as payment for Livia’s husband’s debt. She’s now the sacrifice. Maybe that wedding won’t happen after all.

Why we blow things up on the 4th of July

Okay to my non-American friends, let me explain to you the 4th of July. I was surprised by just how many non-Americans don’t really know specifically what this holiday is. This is an “American Thing” where we think the entire world either IS the US or knows about all our stupid America-Specific holidays…

So basically originally back in ye olden days before we were a country, we were part of the British Empire under King George. King George was a total asshat and we were getting ridiculously taxed. And finally we were just like fuck the monarchy and we just told them no and dumped some tea in the harbor. And THEN shit got real.

They’re all like no you WILL pay these taxes and you WILL obey the crown. And we were like… “You’re not my real dad!” And then we went to war. And our ragtag group of freedom fighters kicked their asses back to England.

Now, if we had lost, we’d all be considered terrorists, but… we didn’t lose, so we made a country. Now, we also did a bunch of evil shit like killing Indians and taking their land (Native Americans or First Nations I think now) and giving them smallpox but we like to focus on where we kicked King George’s ass. For obvious reasons. We were also embroiled in slavery at the time, so we really needed a win where we could be the good guys for a change.

July 4th 1776 was the day we declared our independence and the date we celebrate. Hilariously the war FOR our actual independence went on well AFTER that. There is nothing more America than celebrating not the day we WON but the day we just DECLARED we were going to be free of this toxic garbage fire.

Unsurprisingly Americans don’t give a crap about the British Monarchy, but we did like Princess Di and now Harry and Megan. We like anyone who rebels against the crown. We’re sort of pathological that way.

So how do Americans celebrate the date we officially DECLARED our Independence? I mean obviously cook-outs and blowing things up (fireworks). It’s just our way. My neighbors have been shooting fireworks for at least the past 2 weeks. Now, don’t get me wrong, the world is moving fast toward a dystopia and is anyone ever REALLY free? But… nevertheless… cookouts and fireworks! Yay! So wise of our forefathers to declare independence during the summer so we could celebrate with grilled meat eaten outdoors today.

Though I do think there is a lesson here in celebrating the date you DECIDE to be free as opposed to the date you actually win. There is something psychologically important about this distinction. Also, who knew I had so much to say about the 4th of July? Definitely not me when I started typing all this.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk…
