Enjoy this excerpt from Eternal Oath:

This time when the colors reformed she saw herself, as though a spotlight shone down on her. She was much younger than she was now, about ten, and wrapped in a woolen blanket. Her hair hung in two long braids which looked frazzled and had loose strands coming out of them. Dirt and twigs clung to her and she was looking into a mirror over a bowl of something from which steam rose. Because of the steam the image wasn’t super clear but Linda could see her younger self’s lips moving…she was saying something.

Even though Linda knew the girl was her, she also knew it was not her. It was as though she were the girl looking into the mirror and at the same time an observer standing in the corner and watching. Instinctively she knew she had to hear what the girl was saying. She stilled and focused her eyes and hearing, harnessing a tranquility that cleared and sharpened her mind. Her breaths came even and deep. And then, as if the volume button had been pressed, she could hear what her dream self was saying.

“You must remember. You must remember. You must remember,” chanted the girl.

But that was all she said with her eyes so large and charcoal-gray as she looked into the mirror. She seemed to be concentrating with all her being on those three words. But those were all she said. After a few more moments Linda became frustrated. Remember what? This girl knew something. She was the key to these horrible dreams she was having, Linda could feel it in her gut. But if she was, why wasn’t she saying more? She waited a few more moments hoping the girl would continue. When she didn’t Linda cried out, “Remember what? Tell me!”

The little girl sucked in a surprised breath and then her dark gaze shifted in the mirror from her own reflection to Linda’s. She seemed amazed to see Linda there but she paused no longer, her words came out in a rush. “You are both in grave danger. Tonight.”

And then the rest of the girl’s words were lost as Linda was pulled to consciousness again, unwillingly this time. As she was swept away she could see the girl’s lips moving but the sound had been turned off again. The image shattered like glass and she woke to Falk gently shaking her by the shoulders.

Excerpt

I take a fistful of her hair and pull her closer, wanting to lick every inch of her mouth. Her taste is intoxicating and makes me want to do sinful things to her body. My cock is already painfully hard, nudging against my pants, practically begging to be taken out and played with.

I’ve wanted this since I first laid eyes on her. It’s so fucking bad, but I can’t get enough of the way she looks at me with those innocent eyes. She’s a vixen, and she knows it. She spins us all around her little finger, and I love it.

Marcus stands behind her, grabbing her waist, only to push her closer to me. He kisses her shoulder, neck, and back as I kiss her. Between us, she smolders with heat and desire that’s impossible to ignore.

I let my hands roam freely over her body, squeezing her tits and tugging her nipples until she squirms and moans into my mouth. I smile against her lips and continue to kiss her, knowing that my touch drives her crazy. I know how to please a woman. I’ve been taught for so long, I could never forget.

But fuck me, is this something else.

We’re kissing her both, sandwiching her between us like some sex-crazed cavemen.

“Show her how much you want her,” Marcus growls, setting his teeth into her skin.

She gasps as he leaves a gentle bite mark, and I take her nipple into my mouth and suck hard, then nibble a little, setting her skin on fire.

She moans out loud, and I return to her face to capture the sound.

“Yes, make those sounds, Ava. Show us how much you want us too,” Marcus growls.

He slides his hand between her legs as I kiss her, and I can tell from the way she’s panting into my mouth that he’s flicking her clit so hard she could come right there and then. God, I’d do it just for that look of pure pleasure on her face. It’s magnificent. Something to behold. Something special I can’t place, but I feel it deep down in my heart. I need this woman. Right now.

However, I don’t get the chance to make a move because Marcus just grabbed a bottle of lube and positioned himself behind her, squirting it all over her and himself. He parts her legs, grabbed his cock, and shoved it up her ass.

She mewls out loud, her head tipping back as he grips her hair. I do the only thing I can think of. I kiss her neck, toying with her nipples as he pounds her ass again and again. Her eyes connect with mine, desperation and need seeping through until I feel nothing but the desire to satisfy her every craving. So I keep kissing her over and over until she can barely breathe.

I watch him bring his fingers back to her pussy, flicking her clit as he fucks her in the ass.

“You’re so wet, Ava. Is it because you’re kissing him?” he whispers. “Or is it because I’m fucking your tight ass?”

“Yes,” she moans, and her admission only makes me harder. “Both.”

“I bet you’d like to come all over my hand, don’t you?”

His dirty talking even has me shivering as I kiss her lips.

“Oh, God, yes,” she says, shuddering.

“Daniel wants you too, Ava … He wants to fuck your pretty little mouth while I claim your ass …”

“Yes … both of you.”

“Both of us at the same time, fucking your holes until you can no longer stand,” he groans.

She gasps. “Yes.”

Fuck me.

I thought my cock couldn’t get any harder, but apparently, it could.

It’s about to burst out of my pants, so I throw all my restraint out the window and tear down my pants, allowing my cock to spring free from its constraints.

And good God … the way she looks down at it, blinking rapidly, licking the top of her lips … it makes me want to bend her over and fuck her next.

“See how hard he is for you? It’s all for you, Ava.”

“But Master …” She swallows, gazing at my length and then back up at my eyes. “Are you sure this is okay?”

“Ava … you both belong to me.” His eyes glint with thirst as he licks her skin like an animal. “Now … Bend over.”

 

 

Let me begin my review by saying that this dark romance that is unlike any I’ve read before. So it took me a couple of days to think before I could even write this review.

I loved the book, and hated some parts of it.

Ava was beautifully broken, and my heart went out to her. Marcus made my heart ache, and I wanted to see who he really was. And his last act…well, I won’t say much about that because it would be giving things away, but that was, by far, my favorite one.

Why I’m not giving it a 5 star you ask?

Because there were some unbelievable things that occurred that just didn’t make sense. I don’t want to reveal them because that would be not cool, but let me say this:

Clark Kent ALWAYS looked like Superman. A pair of glasses and no S-curl hanging on his forehead doesn’t change that. Remember that when you read the book and then you will understand what I mean.

I also had to push through the beginning a bit to get to the meat of the story, but once I did, it took off. I wanted to know more about Ava’s past and what happened. I wanted to know what made Marcus tick, and what would be the catalyst that would bring them together. And I never saw the way it switched coming. That was a fact. The twists (some of them) and the way the material was written was great. The characters were developed and believable (except for the Clark Kent incident) and that pushed me to give the story a 3.5-4 star.

If the beginning had been stronger and the major twist a bit more believable I have no doubt this book would have moved into 4-5 star territory.

All in all, it was a good read, and I’ll be looking for more from this author.

EXCERPT:


The smell of food bore down sharply on her senses, and she moved swiftly through the trees and brush to follow it. She was almost silent in her footsteps. Her nose and ears told her everything she needed to know.

            She stopped and sniffed the air. Then, she lowered herself behind brushes and trees and leaves, the autumn colors hiding her tawny, black, and bits of white perfectly. She waited…

            There it was. Dinner. From the west, unaware and getting closer.

            The whitetail came into view seconds later, dipping its head to a mountain stream. It was rare that a doe was alone this time of year, but here she was. At the perfect angle.

            She lowered herself more, preparing, using her expert hunting skills and knowledge to make the kill. She was very patient.

            Then, with a burst of speed and precision, she attacked. The deer realized her fate far too late and only ran but a few yards. Teeth sank into the neck, and within moments, dinner was served.

****

            It was the time of year. She just had to hunt more often to work off the extra rush of hormones and need to feed. She was always careful, staying close to or on her vast property. But today was different. She was on a friend’s property, a trusted friend who was out of town for the day. After retrieving her clothes from the porch of the friend’s home, she jogged to her truck and grabbed a pen and paper from the glove box. She wrote a thank you note and IOU for the hunting. Then, she got back to her truck and took off over the mountain to her house…on the dirt back roads.

            She couldn’t help but go a bit too fast today, knowing who would be traversing them as well.

            The flashing red lights in her rearview as she turned a corner made her grin. She hoped he was in a playful mood this evening—knowing he was on duty had been the reason she’d picked this route home. Her grin widened as a six-foot-two redhead stepped out of his own truck to walk to hers.

            She rolled her window down.

            The fair-skinned man grinned back as he rested his arms on the door. “Cilla Walton, you know better than to drive that fast on this road.”

            Her blue eyes met his brown ones. “Aw, come on, Riley.” She tried to look as sincere as possible. “I was only doing fifty/fifty-five.”

            He chuckled. “On a forty mile an hour road.”

            She laughed softly, loving the scent rolling off of him. She knew he was smelling her as well. “Riley Cooper, are you going to give me a ticket?”

            He leaned in the window about an inch, inhaling. His grin turned wicked, suggesting all sorts of tempting things. She tried not to visibly shiver.

            She won.

            “Not tonight, I’m afraid. I’m heading for my parents’ house for dinner with them and my brothers. As you know, my mom’s birthday is tomorrow.”

            “Yes. I have something for her,” she replied. “I’m also taking her shopping over in Burlington in the morning, with Ginger and my sister Cat.”

            “Dad talked to you.”

            She nodded. “We’ll be back before dinner, around four-thirty.”

            He leaned against her door and reached a hand in to move stray strands of her tawny-colored hair behind her ear. “You’ve been out hunting…and you got the kill.”

            She smiled softly. “Of course I did.”

            “Over at Ram and Mara’s?”

            She nodded.

            “Yeah, Ram mentioned you asked permission to hunt on his and Mara’s land. Why?”

            She shrugged. “I just wanted a different place to hunt—the deer near my house are getting suspicious.” She winked.

            He chuckled.

            Shiver, shiver, shiver… She managed to hide the shiver, but not the scent it caused. Damn autumn air.

            “I’ll see you tomorrow, then?”

            “Yes, you will. And by the way,” she said as he stepped away from the door while she put it back in gear, “you smell edible.”

            He grinned. “So do you, babe. And I plan on remedying that soon.”

#NewRelease: Her Cowboy by Kate Richards

 

Blurb

Felicity Franceaux’s new position as head of the Corbin’s Bend emergency room meets all her expectations. A professional staff, challenging cases, and a home in a town where spanking is not only accepted but appreciated. But losing her late husband left her so heartbroken, she’s afraid to try again. But if she did, the guy next door sure has her attention.

John Estrada, former ranch foreman now successful cowboy novelist also likes what Corbin’s Bend has to offer, but he’s having a hard time letting go of life on the range for life in the Bend.

He’d like to get to know the pretty neighbor lady who never gives him more than a casual wave.

If only they could find a way to connect.

Excerpt

So long since she’d been so close to a man. Two years. Pierre smelled like soap and his expensive cologne du jour. Different, but his aura of strength, of command of any situation was the same.

“Tell me about your book.”

Resting his chin on her head, John sighed. “I don’t tell anyone about my stories until they’re done. Bad luck.”

“But I looked—”

“For a moment. I would have shut the screen down if I’d expected company.”

“Something you don’t want me to see?” What else did he have there? “Lurid sex scene?” He wouldn’t, would he? Was he a stalker? Stiffening, she stayed put but didn’t give him any encouragement. She’d just met the man, and here she was alone in his house.

How many times had emergency room visits resulted from such bad judgment on the part of her patients? Nobody knew she’d visited him…and the arm he wrapped around her shoulder held lean muscle; he could overpower her without even trying.

“Sex…no. No sex scene in this story. At least not yet.” He gave her a squeeze. “I don’t know you well enough.”

Her? Did he mean if he, if they…. Heat flooding her cheeks—again—she knew she should make her excuses and leave. But why didn’t she want to? Something about the man’s presence evoked a safety, security. Like Pierre, but her late, beloved husband had been older than her by ne thirty years. Such an age difference held a different feel than….

Than what? A casual conversation with the next door neighbor after dinner? Obviously she was too hard up and needed a quick visit with Cowboy to regain her balance.

“Oh…okay, well….” Casting her gaze around, she spotted a clock hanging on the wall above the flat screen TV. “Look at the time. If you won’t let me help with the dishes, I should get going. You must have a lot of writing to do yet this evening.”

He rubbed her arm. “What’s the matter, darlin’? Afraid I might try to use you for more intimate inspiration?”

An amazing love story with grown, mature adults who know what they want from life. John and Felicity are perfect for each other and their chemistry was off the chain! I also adored the story in the story, very clever :) Fantastic book!

I enjoyed reading my cowboy, I was given this for a free review. I downloaded it, started reading and never stopped until finished. A little short , but it be nice to have some more on their new adventure. It was sweet story of two broken hearts come together over home made stew and bisque and thunder and lighting. So if your a fan of Corbin Bend. Then you won’t be disappointed.

Her Cowboy is another enjoyable Corbin’s Bend book – about a young widowed emergency room doctor who never expected to find love again, and a retired cowboy turned author. They meet, they develop a quick interest in each other and learn of a common interest in spanking, like most residents of Corbin’s Bend. After a separation and some misunderstandings, they come together again and move quickly to HEA. It is a good story about nice people finding love; I only wish it had been a little longer and more developed, because I liked both characters.

Reviewer: Laurel Loughman

As usual, this was another great addition to the Corbin’s Bend saga. Felicity seems like an overworked but lonely young doctor who is still grieving the loss of her husband. And John is a lonely cowboy trying to transition from a lifelong career of working on a ranch to a budding author in a small town. The two spend months peeping in each other’s windows and are finally thrown together. It is definitely desire at first sight if not love. John and Felicity seem to get off to a slow and rough start, but once they get started, nothing is slow. I truly enjoyed this new edition to one of my favorite neighborhoods.

New Release: Wicked For You by Erzabet Bishop

Blurb:
True love awaits. Passion burns bright…

Carrick is an Alpha werewolf preparing for the annual Pack

Gathering. Pack law dictates he must have a mate by his thirty-sixth year or

forfeit his rule. But what if he’s already found her and lost her in a swirl of

cinnamon-scented dreams? Can this Alpha brave a sea of single wolfy females to

find the one woman who enchanted his heart?

She’s a kitty girl, in a wolfy world…

Sage is the curvy owner of the Hot Whips Café. Bound by pack

law, even as an adopted cat, she must attend the Gathering for the Alpha to

select a new mate. Heading to a wolf ball isn’t high on her list of fun

activities, but damned if she can’t get the image of a certain amber-eyed wolf

out of her head.

Excerpt:
Carrick stood with his back to his second in command, his

wolf pacing beneath his skin. He wanted to break the double doors open and

bound into the woods rather than face the torment waiting for him in the

grounds outside. Women. Hundreds of single wolfy females. All vying for the

privilege of putting his cock and balls into their handbags like some

godforsaken trophy.

Fuck.

Ever year he’d dodged the bullet, but this year one of the

hungry piranha circling his house would become his mate.

Double fuck. He’d been through this before. He already had

one. He just needed to find her, but the elders wouldn’t listen.

“You have to make a choice, Alpha.” Reid crossed the room

and stood in front of him, blocking his view.

Carrick growled and spun away. “I’ll find her.”

Reid’s lips flattened, his dark eyes flashing in his anger.

“You know the rules. Thirty-six is the last year an Alpha can rule without a

mate by his side. The pack needs an Alpha female to be whole.”

“The pack is stronger than it’s been, or are you forgetting

how I got here?”

Reid swallowed and backed up a step. “No. Justin was a

horrible Alpha. You were right to destroy him. He was wrong for the Westmore

Pack. Evil.”

And the bastard had been. He’d abused his power as Alpha to

enslave his pack rather than uplift it. The amount of victims he’d unearthed in

the days that followed would disturb him for the rest of his days. He could

still see the faces of the women Justin had taken against their will and the

shivering form of his sister and the strange girl who stood up to a monster.

Hers was the face that haunted his dreams. Her need reached

out to him and made him into who he needed to be to overcome a near impossible

situation. He had been up against a being far superior in strength but what he

lacked in brawn, he’d more than made up for in sheer bullheadedness. And the

electricity he felt when he touched her. His wolf recognized his mate and so

did he. Now all that remained was to find her. It wasn’t like he hadn’t been

looking. No one knew her name and, with her face partially shifted, her image

was only a fleeting ghost in his mind.

“You’re damned right.” Carrick leaned back against his desk

and rubbed the bridge of his nose. His father would be proud of the work he’d

done. He’d turned the Westmore Estate from a near financial ruin to a lucrative

operation centered on the newly formed security company owned by him and his

second, Reid. Where people had once feared shifters for their propensity for

violence because of Justin and his henchmen, he’d turned the tide and people

paid for their protection. Handsomely. So much so that when the media had heard

about the weekend’s festivities, he’d been dubbed the Ultimate Bachelor.

It made him fucking nauseous.

The one person he needed to find and he couldn’t and it made

him crazy. Now, in a matter of a few days, he would either have to relinquish

his role as Alpha or marry a gold digging piece of arm candy. The closest

person he’d found was a barista at the coffee place he frequented but she

didn’t look anything like the girl in his dreams. And now whenever she saw him

coming, she hightailed it for the hills.

But she had popped a whisker.

Just like his goddess.

Jesus. He was losing his shit. Completely.

ABOUT 
LETEISHA & JESSICA

 

LETEISHA NEWTON is an author, blogger, massive geek, and villain lover.  Professionally published since 2008, she really didn’t seem to catch her stride until 2012. (You know how it is, life and all that jazz takes over). Then she used her love of Anime, random trivia knowledge, and excessive world building to create her paranormal romances. Somewhere along the way she got a bunch of scrapes, bruises, and thick skin. That probably has more to do with her mini-alpha in training then writing, but we won’t tell her that. When she’s not tapping away at the keys, she’s watching Anime, playing her Playstation, or arguing about why female superhero poses are IMPOSSIBLE, albeit sexist. One day she’ll have her own comic, and she’ll do it the right way (she just has to learn how to draw!)

New Release: The Ghost of Trenton House by Libby Bishop

Title: Ghosts of Trenton House

Series: Revenant Investigations Book Two

Blurb:

Empath and paranormal investigator Lena Tompson is enjoying a night of relaxation when she’s interrupted by a phone call from her boss. She hurries to the office, still in her pajamas, and finds herself face to face with the once love-of-her-life.

Knox Trenton, also an empath, has a problem: his beloved great grandmother has accidently conjured the spirit of her dead sister while trying to find the spirit of her dearly departed husband, who died decades earlier. The sisters have fought bitterly since his death.

As the case heats up, so do Lena’s feelings for Knox. She doesn’t know how long she can hold back the tide of emotions, especially when she realizes that Knox has feelings for her as well. She can only hope that trusting him doesn’t tear her apart as deeply as his own family will be torn if they fail to stop the fighting.

Excerpt:

Oh, how Lena Tompson wished she was still at home, curled up on the couch watching Pride and Prejudice—the Colin Firth version, of course—instead of at the Revenant Investigations office for an emergency meeting. But that wish wasn’t going to come true. When her boss, Folger, had called they all knew to come immediately. She had and now Knox Trenton, the former love-of-her-life, sat in her boss’s office with his forehead creased from worry.

“I’m very sorry to drag you all here at this hour,” Knox said. “But there’s an emergency at Trenton House.”

Arabella Pierce—coworker, medium, and Lena’s best friend—spoke up. “What do you mean?” she asked.

Knox rubbed his eyes. Lena could feel just how worried he was. Having grown up with and seriously dated Knox, she knew this wasn’t normal for him. Something had to be dreadfully wrong in order for him to be bleeding emotions so strongly. As a high-level empath, he was very good at guarding himself, unless unduly stressed or tired.

Lena reached out with her own empathic gifts to search his feelings, and a brick wall slammed down.

“Nana has done something,” he replied, dread lightly imbedded in his tone.

Oh, dear. When his great-grandmother did something to earn that tone of voice it normally meant another feud was brewing with someone, probably a family member. The elderly spitfire was too fiery for her own good, at times. “What did Imogene do?”

“You both know the story of my great-grandmother and her twin sister, Ruth.”

“Hard to forget,” Arabella replied.

While the story was well known, not many knew the details as Lena and Arabella did. He’d told them in Junior High. And a hell of a story it was.

He turned to Folger. “I’m going to tell you the story, but I ask that you keep it to yourself, for your records. This is a very sensitive issue.”

Folger raised his hand. “What you tell us goes no further than this room.”

Knox sighed. “Thank you. My great-aunt Ruth conjured my great-grandpa Duke’s spirit when he died of a heart attack in his mid-thirties. She wanted to punish her sister for allowing him into the family and betraying her. Their father trusted Duke and had learned to love him as a son, so he willed Trenton House to Duke and Nana. Ruth was furious with her sister for allowing such a thing, saying she was betrayed, even though their father left her and her husband well over five hundred thousand dollars and the country house at the edge of town.” He paused, sighing. “Most of the family believes her objection was solely about Duke’s name being put on the house. I think it’s safe to say if it had been just Nana’s name on the deed, Ruth wouldn’t have been so vehement about the whole thing.”

Lena had been to that country house a few times—a beautiful home, on a lovely four-acre plot of land. But Duke being willed Trenton House and watching it fall into his hands, even with Imogene there, had only been the beginning––the spark, to ignite the rest of the Trentons’ sisterly feud.

Lena had seen no real ‘ill will’ between Knox and his cousins, but their parents… Well, there was a reason she never liked going to the family get-togethers. Their barely veiled animosity was like ice, cracking against her skin. Knox tried to shield her from most of it, but the intensity was too great for him to block it all. Lena tolerated events the best she could, but finally admitted they’d taken a toll on her, and her view of their relationship.

“And no one knows where Ruth trapped Duke’s spirit,” Arabella said, leaning back against the couch and crossing her legs. “Ruth took that information to the grave.” “Knox,” Folger said, “tell them what Imogene did.”

Hesitation lightly touched the air, held clear in his dark brown eyes when he glanced at her. All thoughts of their past momentarily fled when Lena saw it—something was very wrong, all right, and worry twisted her gut. “Knox?”

He fidgeted in his chair, until he settled for sitting with his back completely straight as if someone had pulled a string upward, and rested his hands on the arms of the chair.

“Nana…raided Ruth’s crypt at our family’s private cemetery and stole a necklace from her coffin.”

Lena’s mouth dropped in shock. “She did what?”

#RIPAlanRickman and Suffering Writer’s Depression

Today is a pretty shitty day.

We lost the Sheriff of Nottingham, Hans Gruber, Professor Snape.

We’ve lost an icon in global cinema and stage performers.

We lost the man with the amazing voice that you didn’t even have to see to know who it was.

I am heartbroken. Seriously. And it just happens to come right on the tail end of finishing Scarred, Book 2 of the Lost Series.

And why is that bad? Yesterday I was over the moon. Totally excited that I had penned my second series novel in less than a month, and loved my characters. Today I realized I couldn’t write their story anymore. I can edit, fix sections, tie things up after proof-reading, and so many other things. But the act of writing their story is done. I’ve seen them go from point A to Z and make every stop in between.

I’ve seen them fight and fall in love in the darkest of ways, despite what they shared being so fucked up. And I realized that I lost three people today….Alan, River, and Ethan. I can remember them fondly. Watch his movies, read their story over again, and live those moments of great happiness and sadness. Because they are now in my world of fantasy.

But he is still gone when I turn the movie off, and I won’t see him in something new and smile when his voice makes me quiver. I won’t get to see a new way Ethan makes River scream, and I will never have to envy River because she got a man to die for. The story is over, done, complete.

Books send us through so many emotions. As does life.

Right now, we are low, after losing David Bowie, my Goblin King, earlier this week. I can pick up another story, write another tale, but I’ll always mourn them.

Writers love their books like children, and actors are the faces of our characters. Is it only fitting they go hand in hand, and we are just as hurt to see them go?

“After all this time?”

And I say, “Always.”

#ReleaseDay #HNH Book 3 Jazz’s Vizier, and Completion of a WIP!

 

So Jazz’s Vizier, Happily Never Happened Book 3, is available now on Evernight and Amazon now!

I’m super excited about this as this is my #steampunk girl finally getting her man!

Jazz didn’t care one fig about love after that street rat gold-digging jerk tore her heart out. No, she’s content with being the financial mind behind Fantasy Ave and protecting it as fiercely as a tigress. 

That was until Lysandros Sotiris walked into her office with the intent of buying into Fantasy Ave. And then Tatiana, Fairy-Godmother, had to stick her head in it. Now Jazz has to give Lysandros one week without any barriers, and preferably without any clothes, in order to keep Fantasy Ave. If she walks away she loses the home she’s helped build for the displaced women of Elsia. 

But how can she fall in love when she doesn’t even know it exists? How can she trust herself to know if his love is worth fighting for? 

Excerpt:

“Look, let’s make it a business deal, Jazz. There’s a man here who has a proposition for you that you have already refused,” Tatiana began.

“And the answer will stay the same. I will not let someone buy into Fantasy Ave. You should already know the dangers of allowing outsiders in and know who we are, or notice that a few of us don’t age, or get in touch with their animal sides.”

“I know better than anyone, Jazz. I put you all here and helped make sure that Fantasy Ave was accepted and smoothed the way. What you’ve done with it was beyond anyone’s expectations, though,” Tatiana added when Jazz glanced at her with narrow eyes.

“So why would I give him a chance?” Jazz asked.

“Because he’s the man I should have given you all those years ago, and he’s the man who will make sure that Fantasy Ave is protected in a way that it isn’t now,” Tatiana said.

“Why don’t you just make sure of that? We had a deal.”

“I fulfilled my deal. Now I’m taking care of you all the way I should have. Elsia is dying, Jazz, and it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have made the mistakes I did, but by giving back to all of you, I can save it, and restore what I broke. My proposition is this: give this man a week. One week, and in return I will make sure that he will safeguard Fantasy Ave in the market and on Earth tight enough that you will never have to worry about losing it to outsiders again. If you don’t, then I will allow him to take over Fantasy Ave.”

“You bitch,” Jazz yelled, jumping to her feet.

“Yes, yes I am, but it’s for your own good. You won’t do it if you don’t have anything to lose. If you don’t give this man a week, he will take over Fantasy Ave, if you do, you and the other women here will have it for centuries to come. Those are the only two choices you have.”

Jazz gritted her teeth, trying her best not to scream. She knew she hated Tatiana for a reason, and she hated her more now. None of the women of Fantasy Ave should risk losing everything they ever wanted just because this bitch wanted to have her way in their lives again. But Jazz couldn’t let that happened just because she was too stubborn. Tatiana didn’t say she had to fall in love with the guy, she just said she’d have to spend a week with him. She’d make sure it was the worst week ever.

Tatiana tsked, shaking her head. “I know you better than you know yourself, Jazz. Give this man a week, a true week. Sabotaging it will only make you forfeit in the deal. You have to do this straight up, as the business woman I know you to be. Anything less will leave you on the losing side.”

“You want me to give him a chance to win my heart?” Jazz asked incredulously.

“Yes, Jazz, that’s exactly what I want.”

“I hate you, and one day I’ll figure out how to destroy you.”

“Let me help all the women here with one final wish and I’ll die anyway,” Tatiana said. Jazz narrowed her eyes at Tatiana.

“Should have given me that option first,” Jazz said.

“I like this one better. Do we have a deal?”

“I don’t think I have a choice,” Jazz barked at her. Tatiana flicked her fingers and a cream colored sheet of paper appeared on the desk, glowing golden letters stating the agreement and all the points in which Jazz could either win or lose her deal. At the bottom was Tatiana’s signature with another line for Jazz.

“Have to do this right, don’t I?” Tatiana asked. She pinched the air and a golden pen appeared in her hand.

“Agreed,” Jazz gritted out and snatched the pin. She signed her name on the bottom of the document, feeling the burn of magic pulse through her fingertips as she signed. She knew right then if she did anything to mess this up, magic would immediately ensure that Lysandros Sotiris was the new owner of Fantasy Ave, and all the businesses that resided on it.

“I’m not doing it for me,” Jazz promised.

“I know, but you’ll gain the most out of it. And when it’s done, when you’ve gotten the man meant just for you, you’ll thank me, and Fantasy Ave will be that much better.”

“I’m just waiting for the day I can rip those pretty wings off,” Jazz argued.

“Have a good week, Jazz, for all our sakes,” was Tatiana’s only reply before she disappeared.

AND NOW IN OTHER NEWS!!!

Scarred, the second book in the Lost Series is now complete!!! I’m so, wow. This story poured out of me in a month, and now I’m going to be heading to Phenomenal, Book 2.5, next. Then it’s off to Paper Doll, Book 3.

So, readers, don’t think that this will be a series you can’t keep reading. (Well, considering they are all stand alone novels with NO CLIFFHANGERS, that will probably make it easier LOL)

Just wanted to update everyone, since I haven’t been blogging much because I’ve been writing.

Stay fab, fierce, and awesomely geek everyone!

I’ll be back with more soon!
