Laura Excerpt:
 The crowd parted. They were not dancing, having left off in favor of supper, so Paul walked straight across the room to face Hetty. His gait was loose and easy, but he ate up the ground with no regard to the careful, mincing steps of the fashionable gentleman. His Hussar uniform, one of the most flamboyant in the army, looked as good as any ever did on his broad shoulders, and tall, muscular form. Gold was so heavily laced across the front that the red cloth beneath could hardly be seen. The pelisse that hung from one shoulder, red lined with blue, was equally fine.Despite the magnificence, the man outshone the uniform, his carefully brushed dark hair and square jaw more than adequate to the task. The grim purpose delineated in every spare line of his form embellished the uniform rather than the other way about.Hetty drew her hand away from Lewis’s arm, and stood clear of him. Paul bowed to her. “My lady.”    "My lord.”    Thus, a year of silence was broken.    She held out her gloved hand, proud that it did not waver, even though her pulses throbbed and her throat had tightened so she could scarcely breathe.    He took it and bowed over it in the approved manner. Then he glanced at his cousin. “Lewis.”   “Welcome home, Sherstone,” Le

Love After Waterloo by Suzi Love       Lady Anne Melton joins her brothers on the continent after the death of her soldier husband, hoping to keep her unborn baby from the clutches of his strict relations. With one brother an army physician and the other on Wellington’s staff, Anne uses her nursing skills at the battlefields and feels safer with them than in London. Captain Gabriel Belling deems ladies near the army an unnecessary distraction for soldiers and makes his feelings known to Anne when they meet in Brussels.        But when Gabe, Anne, and her son travel with the last group of wounded to leave Waterloo, they learn to depend on each other’s skills, Gabe as a soldier and leader and Anne as a compassionate nurse, during their skirmishes with crazed deserters from both armies. In London, social restrictions force them apart, with Gabe opening his club for returning soldiers while Anne battles her son’s grandparents.       When Anne begs for Gabe’s protection, will their love be enough to overcome their troubles and form a family?

Love After Waterloo by Suzi Love
“Mama, why doesn’t that man like me?” Daniel asked, his singsong voice echoing loudly around the walled chamber. Slowly, the Captain turned to face them. He took two steps closer to Daniel and squatted as low as he could manage on one leg, while keeping his bandaged leg straight and using it for balance. “I apologize, your lordship.” He spoke directly to Daniel. “My name is Gabe, and I don’t dislike you. In fact, you remind me of my three nephews and I like them. A lot.” He sighed. “I have several decisions to make, difficult decisions, but that isn’t an excuse for bad manners.” He glanced up at Anne. “As I’m certain your mother has told you.”Daniel nodded. “Uncle Bren told me to be good for Mama, and you, ‘cause you’re the Captain and you’re taking me and Mama to En…En…” He tugged on her hand. “Where we going, Mama?” Lady Melton smiled at her son. “England, darling. We’re going to England.”Daniel pulled his hand from hers and stepped up to the Captain, careful to avoid his bandaged leg. His tiny hand rested on Gabe’s shoulder and he patted him. “My mama will help. Mama knows ‘bout Englin, and she makes sores better.” He pointed at Gabe’s outstretched leg. “Kisses make it better.”Anne gasped, while Gabe chuckled. His amber eyes held a twinkle as he spoke to Daniel. “I’m sure your mama’s kisses would make any man feel better.” He looked up at her and smirked. “Will you kiss me, Lady Melton?” Anne groaned and put her hands to her burning cheeks, thankful that Daniel’s focus was on his new friend and not her red face. When Gabe stood and slowly drew his bandaged leg under him, Anne realized that he didn’t have his crutch. “Captain, please, lean on me.” She moved closer and was relieved when, with a muffled groan, he slid his arm around her shoulder and settled a little of his weight on her. His eyes closed momentarily and he shuddered. Daniel reached up and again patted Gabe’s hand, before turning begging eyes towards her. “Mama, make man’s sore better?”  She’d planned to evaluate the Captain’s capabilities from a distance, thereby avoiding another discussion about scandalous ladies who assisted surgeons, but between her son’s pleading and the Captain’s obvious pain, she had no choice. Years of caring for the sick meant she could no more turn her back on a person in pain than she could feign interest in endless drawing room discussions on the weather. Treating the Captain’s wound, and reducing his pain, might also lead to a shorter journey, because his focus would be on maps and roads rather than his leg. “Captain Belling−”“Please, as we’re to live in close quarters for a time, let’s dispense with formality.” He gave her the sort of winsome smile that would cause many women to swoon. “My name is Gabriel, or Gabe if you wish.”She hesitated. A week ago, she’d thought the man insufferable, so suddenly becoming the recipient of his debonair charm made her squirm. The first lesson she’d learned when making her social debut was that rogues and rakes should never be trusted. Still, if a temporary truce ensured an easier journey for Daniel, she’d disregard her previous impressions of him as narrow-minded and condescending, and treat him as a friend.She nodded. “Gabe, will you allow me to inspect your wound? I’ve had considerable experience with slashes from swords, and I know several methods to increase blood flow, reduce the swelling, and lessen the pain.” He stiffened, stood to his full height, and removed his arm. “Thank you for the offer, Lady Melton, but a surgeon will treat my laceration when we reach London.”“But that could be a week. Ten days.” She glowered at the obstinate man.
“And my name is Anne.”“I’m hoping for a quicker trip than that, Anne, depending on how many problems we encounter.”“You mean, how many deserters.” She glanced down at Daniel who had returned to lean heavily against her side, a sign he was ready for a meal and bed. After picking up her son, she followed Gabe as he hobbled back to the table, took up his crutch, and used it instead of her shoulder. Not that she’d tell him, but she often missed the feel of a strong male arm enclosing her. Missed a man’s body touching hers, even if that heavy maleness meant extra weight to support. Gabe watched Daniel carefully and took his time replying. “We’re planning on a straightforward journey directly to the coast, and then a smooth sail across the Channel. So let’s not dwell on what may or may not happen along the way. Every soldier in our group suffers from some sort of injury, but we’re well trained and will keep you safe.” He smiled at Daniel and reached out his hand. “You’ll soon be in England, young sir.”

Read an Excerpt from The Captain’s Heart!
Mont-Saint-Jean farm, Belgium
June 21, 1815Gazing down at the shrunken figure lying on the hospital bed before him, Captain Edward Hathaway searched for signs of the perpetually happy young man everyone knew and loved. Why was it that men always looked so much smaller in stature when stretched out on a bed?Or in a coffin.His mind shied away from that image. He’d seen more than his share of death recently, but he’d also seen men survive worse wounds than the loss of a leg. And if anyone deserved to live, it was Private Freddie Reynolds. It should have been him in that bed. Freddie had come between him and a bayonet aimed directly at his back during that final, bloody battle on the fields near Waterloo. The private had fielded off that blow, but his heroism had been rewarded with a musket ball to the leg. Edward still didn’t know what exactly had happened. They had managed to break through the front line of Bonaparte’s infantry and the enemy had been everywhere. Time had passed in a blur of blood and battle frenzy as every man fought for his very survival.But he did know one thing. If not for this man, he would probably be dead. He never knew what to expect each day when he walked into the field hospital that housed far too many of his men. The number of injured in the ward dwindled daily as men were discharged, transported, or succumbed to their wounds. But Freddie survived and Edward clung to the hope that he would shake off the fever that seemed to plague him.He was rewarded when the young man opened his eyes.“The nurses told me you were awake earlier today. I was beginning to think you were pretending to be asleep to avoid speaking to me.”“Not at all,” Freddie said with a strained chuckle as he drew himself up into a seated position on the bed. Neither of them said anything about his grimace of pain, or about the visible absence of one of his legs underneath the blanket. “I was hoping to see you today, Captain.”Edward lowered himself onto the stool by the bed. “It eases my mind to see you up.” He’d been thinking about what to say to this man, but how did one adequately thank someone for saving their life? “I am forever in your debt,” he said, having decided that the prosaic words would have to suffice. “It has been an honor to serve with you, Captain.”It sounded as though the man was saying his farewells, but Edward shook off that morbid thought. “The honor has been mine. If there is ever anything I can do for you, you have only to ask.”Freddie looked him square in the eye and in their depths Edward could see his determination. “In case there is no future, I do have a request to make of you.”“There will be a future,” Edward said, refusing to believe otherwise.Freddie looked away for a moment, struggling to form his next words. “I have written a letter to Grace. I’d like you to take it and deliver it to her personally. It is vital that she receive it.” He pulled a folded square of paper from under the corner of his pillow. “I wrote it earlier today and one of the nurses was kind enough to seal it for me.”Edward balked at the implication that the man before him would not be seeing his oft-spoken-about betrothed again. “I’m sure you will see her yourself soon enough.”Freddie tried to hand the letter to him, but he was weaker than he appeared. When Edward didn’t take it right away, his hand sank to the bed. “I would consider it a personal favor.”Edward couldn’t deny the request, but he hated that Freddie was even considering the possibility that he wouldn’t recover. He took the letter from his hand.“Promise me that you’ll deliver it in person, Captain.”“You have my word, Private. But I won’t be returning to England for at least another few weeks. I hope, by that time, to be delivering it to you and you can give it to your future wife yourself.”His promise seemed to put the young man at ease. His shoulders visibly relaxed and he could only nod in reply. Taking that as a sign that Freddie needed to rest again, Edward stood and took his leave. When he reached the hallway, out of sight of Freddie and all the wounded men in the ward, he had to stop and gather the composure for which he was famous. Seeing Freddie in such low spirits had unsettled him more than he would have thought possible. The man in that bed was not the person he’d come to know. The Freddie he knew had buoyed the mood of every man in their regiment at one point or another. He was the eternal optimist who refused to give up hope even in the most dire of circumstances. Edward had to struggle against the impulse to march back into that room and order the private to get better. The sound of a single pistol shot came out of nowhere, unnaturally loud in the quiet hospital environment. Without thinking, Edward’s hand flew to the hilt of his sword, but then he remembered where he was and that he didn’t have the weapon that had seemed a part of him for so long. He waited, listening for signs of a battle. But instead of hearing the clash of swords or the return fire he expected would come from the men stationed outside the makeshift hospital, a woman’s cry of alarm came from the room he’d just vacated.Dread settled in the pit of his stomach as he rushed into the ward. What he saw there affected him more than anything he’d seen on the battlefield. More about Suzanna Medeiros:

What’s hotter than a hot firefighter? @desireeholt has your answer!

Blurb: Montana Wade was home after writing off the past ten years of her life, but she needed one more night of courage before she faced her family. Boone Crider, hotshot firefighter, was burned out form the rash of malicious fires. They thought one night as strangers would cure them both, but the fire they started between them soon became a barely controlled burn.
Excerpt: “See something you like?” He signaled the bartender for another.“You didn’t answer my question.”When the bartender set a fresh drink in front of him, he took another deliberate swallow of beer then set his bottle down carefully. “Question?”“Yes. Are you drinking to forget the wrong kind of woman?”He turned on his stool, studying her from beneath hooded lids for so long she felt compelled to meet him eye to eye. Mistake. Big mistake. Sexual heat surged through her, the muscles in the walls of her cunt vibrating as if they were doing a two-step, and her nipples became so hard she thought they’d poke holes in her tee shirt. Her mouth suddenly dry, she lifted her drink and finished it in one swallow. This time, it burned going down, but she was grateful. It distracted her from the other reactions of her body.“Maybe,” he said, at last. “Are you the right kind of woman?”Montana had a feeling she could climax from nothing more than listening to his voice. She tapped her glass on the bar to signal for a refill and wondered what in the fucking hell she was doing, anyway?Ooh, fuck! Andy would have a shitfit. Another naughty word.She barely suppressed a laugh.“Something funny?” Mr. Hotstuff asked.“Just a private joke.” The fresh drink arrived, and she took a tiny sip. “Maybe I am. The right kind of woman. What does that mean to you?”He draped his arm across her shoulders and threaded his fingers into the mass of curls at her neck. His touch was like the kiss of a match, igniting any nerve endings that might have still been sleeping. And, oh, god. If her panties hadn’t been wet before, they were soaked with her juices now. She squeezed her thighs together, trying to fight back the need radiating from her.He nudged her around on her stool again, so he stared into her eyes once more.Oh, god!“It means maybe we both came in here for the same thing tonight.”“Yeah? Explain.”“A night out of time. Would you go for that?”Would she?There was certainly no mistaking his meaning, even if he hadn’t said the words. Well, hell. She definitely wanted to forget a whole lot of bad business. Getting naked with him would be so much better than getting drunk. And probably leave her in a better mood.Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Controlled-Burn-Desiree-Holt-ebook/dp/B00VCETG94/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1427655713&sr=1-2&keywords=Controlled+Burn

For Lover or RevengeBy Dominique Eastwick Captain Roarke Wooldridge returned from Waterloo a different man than the one who left. Captured and detained as a prisoner of war, he endured both torture and betrayal at the hands of his captures and a single traitorous turncoat. Now those who survived the nightmare of that cellar in France are determined to get revenge.Read an Excerpt!
“She is utterly—amazing.” His face lit with genuine love as he spoke of her. Getting back to his feet, he moved to his chair on the other side of the hearth. “Perhaps when you are in town for the season, I can introduce you to her. I think she would enjoy your friendship. She complains about the lack of honorable people within the ton.”“One of the many reasons I stay away. It took very little time for the shine to dull on ton life. But I think I would very much like to meet her.”If he felt Alex and he would run into one another out in society, his family must be part of the ton. His manners and speech spoke to a man who had been well-educated. “I would like that, as well.”She couldn’t remember the last time she had looked forward to parties or balls. Unfortunately, shortly after her marriage, her husband had placed her in his country estate, fearing she would take a lover and try to hoist her bastard off as the earl’s. But, she would never have cuckolded him or caused him embarrassment. Life in the country fit her best. And he had treated her far better when they were away from the expectations of society. The few times they’d been required in London had been the most miserable of her married life.Alexandra hadn’t attended a season in nearly ten years. And that had been for her own. Bad memories had a way of keeping a person from returning. During her marriage, she hadn’t wanted to be paraded out as the young countess, a title she never quite felt comfortable with. And after the earl passed, she saw no reason to head into town for the season when everything she wanted lay within these walls. She had no desire to remarry, and, as children required the act of copulating, she had long ago resigned herself to a life without them. Although she had desired children, she was long past hoping for them. Until now, that is, when this handsome captain had come into her life, weakening her knees and causing a pool of desire to form in her belly.Picking up a fan from the side table, she waved it near her overheated face and neck, the temperature of the room having suddenly risen.“What about you, Captain? Are you married?”

Award winning author Dominique Eastwick currently calls North Carolina home with her husband, two children, one crazy lab, and one lazy cat.

Desiree Holt says Texas Hold 'Em was never like this! Her scorching series can be yours....

The latest in the very hot Club Fantasy Series#5 in Cut the CardsThe series within a seriesLeave a comment! One lucky winner will receive a Club Fantasy book of her choice.
Sage Drummond left her life in Dallas when her situation with her Dom, a life she fully embraced, turned into a nightmare. Sure she’d never find the kind of relationship she wanted, she look for nothing more than a scene now and then at Club Fantasy. That was until she met Garrett Long, the very sexy, very Dominant former rodeo cowboy. In the private room at Club Fantasy he led her into a world of submission she never thought she’d find, capturing both her body and her heart. And losing his at the same time.
What happens when you take one former rodeo cowboy and one submissive and put them together for one intimate scene at the darkly sensuous Club Fantasy? Fireworks that neither expected or planned for. But life has a funny way of dealing its own hand in the game of Cut the Cards. And for Sage Drummond and Garrett Long, this might just prove to be the best hand of all.
Excerpt:
Garrett was having a hell of a time keeping himself under control. The very last thing he’d expected when Reulas told him about Sage was to be poleaxed by a storm of emotion the moment he laid eyes on her. He’d listened to the Dungeon Master describe this very special sub, a woman who had been badly treated by her longtime Dom and was just now dipping her toe in the scene again. She needed special handling, firm but compassionate. He had not expected to fall for this woman—or any woman—at first glance. When he retired from the rodeo all he’d hoped for was a sub with whom he was compatible who he could share his life with. But this? This was like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.Lustrous golden blonde hair tumbled to her shoulders brushing softly against creamy skin. Hazel eyes flecked with gold looked up at him through the thickest lashes he’d ever seen. Ripe full breasts tipped with rosy nipples made his mouth just water while he hands itched to trace the curve of lush lips and a well-rounded ass. A beautiful cunt completely waxed so he could see every mouthwatering inch of it. When he’d slipped his fingers into the tunnel between those sweet cheeks the heat of her nearly burned his skin and his cock painfully demanded release from its restraint.The last thing he’d expected tonight was to find a woman that he wanted to take home and keep forever. He saw by the look in her eyes that the same thunderbolt had struck her. But first they had to get past the baggage he knew she still carried, which is why he had chosen the rope for his card. He would use it properly as a means to gain her complete trust, to show her how different this could be.And make this work. Erase all the bad memories that lurked in the back of her mind.“I like to oil my subs,” he said at last. “It not only enhances every contact with the skin but eases the bruising.” He nodded at the padded table, covered with a thick towel. “Climb up on there and lay down on your back.”Her movements were so graceful, although a little self-conscious, not unexpected under the circumstances. When she was flat on her back, hands at her sides he allowed himself a moment to look at her again. Then he toed off his boots and socks, stripped off his shirt and set all the items next to the big armchair. He had to keep the pants on or he was afraid he might embarrass himself. It had been a lot of years since a woman made him so hard and so hot and so ready this quickly.

Lassoed by a Dom by @desireeholt debuts and you need her cowboy!

Welcome to Rawhide , the exclusive BDSM club north of San Antonio, Texas, where the ranchers and their friends come to play in carefully guarded anonymity. Ruled by a Dungeon Master extraordinaire, its well-vetted membership enjoys delights to please even the most experienced Dom and sub. Come on in. The evening is just about to start.
Blurb:
Just for an instant their gazes connected, then he was gone. Barrel racer Trish Barton wanted to find that mysterious man in black who in brief seconds pushed all her buttons. A born submissive, she saw herself on her knees before him, bound by the lasso he'd held in his hand. Jake Keenan had never forgotten that one brief glimpse of he woman who set him on fire, a woman he’d give anything to Master. How could she have taken root in his dreams after that one brief glimpse? Then Fate threw them together and gave them the opportunity to fully explore the Dom/sub relationship they craved. But Trish wasn’t yet ready to give up the rodeo circuit, much to Jake’s dismay. And then an emergency turned their lives upside down and showed both of them what’s really important. 
Excerpt:Like a paintbrush sweeping across her field of vision the image of a man blew into her mind. She’d only seen him once, at the rodeo in Oklahoma. She couldn’t seem to make herself look away.  And seeing was probably the appropriate word because all she’d gotten was the one look at him. She was brushing Misty after the show and he’d walked into the barn. Something had made her turn at that exact moment and their eyes met. For a breathless second she thought he intended to speak to her. Then a group of friends swept into the barn, crowding her. He backed away and when she could look again he was gone. But the incredible impact of that one quick visual contact had never left her, the image of him etched in her mind. The most idiotic part of it was this man, who had spent less than a minute in her life, had become the object of some very erotic dreams. No matter how much she tried to wipe away the memory, the nights when she was really tired as soon as she closed her eyes there he was, in his naked glory, the Master of her imagination. Sometimes when she awoke she was sure she could still feel the chafing in her wrists from handcuffs, the pressure of knots from the rope he’d tied her with or a soreness on the cheeks of her ass from his punishment. How crazy was that? Smiling to herself now she wondered if she could run an ad in the paper. Wanted: man in plaid shirt and blue jeans who almost got to talk to me.Dumb, Trish. Really dumb.Getting to this point in her rodeo career hadn’t been easy. Ever since her first contest in high school she had worked hard and sacrificed a lot. But she’d had a single-minded purpose and the support of her family. Now she nearly had it all. She was favored to win the title at the Nationals for the third time in a row, validating all she’d accomplished, and her family would be there to cheer her on. So why was it she suddenly felt unsettled. Out of sync. As if there was a hole in her life she’d just stepped into.Maybe it was the fact that the Doms she spent time with at the private clubs at each stop lately weren’t answering her needs. Up to this point that was all she’d wanted or needed. For the first time since she’d discovered her submissive nature and her needs, everything was suddenly a little off the mark. Or it might be the two weeks she’d just spent hanging out at her friend CeCe’s ranch, taking a break from the circuit. Sitting on the wide porch, drinking iced tea and looking back on things, she’d begun to wonder if there was more to life than training and competing and taking her pleasure in small doses when she could.  She’d never worried about it before, never given a thought to having a man in her life for anything more than the here and now. But the reaching of her thirty-fifth birthday had made her stop and think. Take a good long look at who and what and where she was. Was a man what she was missing? She hoped not because fixing that wouldn’t be as easy as it sounded. For one thing, she’d seen too many women on the circuit meet a man, fall for him and then suddenly they were out of competition, giving up an exciting career. Why would they give up what they’d worked so hard for just because some man came along? Didn’t they have regrets? Even for a moment?She wanted one that wouldn’t try to put a halter on her except when—

Get ready for THE INCOMPARABLES 6.18.15 #Waterloo #anniversary #99cents limited time!

Defeating the imperial power of Napoleon Bonaparte demanded of the allies who opposed him an enormous force of men, weaponry, savvy and guts.

Napoleon had dominated continental Europe for nearly twenty years when he was defeated in the spring of 1814 and sent to exile on Elba.  In less than a year, however, he escaped his island home in the Mediterranean and returned to France. Landing near Cannes, he was met by ecstatic French people. He marched north, gathering military as he went so that within a month, he had chased the French Bourbon king, Louis XVIII (Louis XVI's brother) from the country. He then posed a major threat to all of Europe as he attempted to re-establish his empire and wipe out national boundaries. Gathering remnants of his general staff to him, he marched north into Belgium.

By June, the allies had chosen the British Duke of Wellington as their commander and had amassed a huge force on the plains in Belgium and northern France.

Knowing that a major showdown would occur soon, both sides girded for a bloody battle.

A few facts about Waterloo that you may not know?

1. The battle was one of a few that occurred over a period of 3 days.

2. Waterloo occurred in a small town south of Brussels in Belgium and was the last and deciding battle!

3. Some historians argue over how the battle was lost and won. A few say that Napoleon deserved to lose—and that Wellington won by default.

4. In 1815, many men in the ranks had joined to earn money. Many were terribly wounded—and many, British, French and other of the Allies' men lived in abject poverty afterward.
