#MWTease RUNAWAYS #reverseharem #whychoose NEW RELEASE

Welcome to Mid Week Tease, here's a few from RUNAWAYS, the lastest novel in my series THE CHALLENGE.

Her dreams were gentle, and her sleep heavy. When she woke the Californian sun was filtering through the curtains and she was still in the same position.Raul murmured something in Spanish, and she stroked his bare chest, the duvet having slipped to their waists.When he murmured again and his hips twitched, she became aware of movement beneath the cover.She raised her head and looked at his face. Expecting to see him awake. But he wasn’t. His eyes were closed, his long dark lashes almost resting on his cheeks, and his lips slightly parted. He moved his head to the right and mumbled something she didn’t catch.She drew her attention downward. A knot of excitement caught in her belly. He was hard. Not only that, he was touching himself, masturbating in his sleep. It was the only explanation for the shifting bedding.Setting her attention on his face again, she slid her hand downward, skimming over his flat belly, then over the hair that ran from his navel to his groin.He didn’t wake.


THE CHALLENGE is a reverse harem series (one lucky girl with lots of hot guys!) and best read in order, CASTAWAYS, TEARAWAYS, RUNAWAYS, and coming soon, STOWAWAYS.

Adria Yuan — a dossier
Lily, thank you so much for having me on your blog.
The day before her eleventh birthday, she jumped an alleyway fence with the kids from the neighbouring complex. Every Sunday, they’d steal candy from the corner store and leg it before the owner let the dogs out.
The owner was someone’s grandfather. The game was his idea. Better than having you kids steal for real and end up in the system, he said. Or worse — off-world.
This was the first Sunday she landed clean on her feet and kept on running. No stumbling, no skinned knees, no grit in her palms. Just feet and speed. This skill saved her life after the gang wars broke out.
Adria Yuan is the heroine of my new novel, Chasing Sisyphus. She’s come a long way since those days in the alley. Now she’s a bounty hunter, listed among Basilica City PD’s most wanted. She’s agile, a fast learner, and an efficient killer. She doesn’t love the job, but it pays the bills.
If she had it her way, she’d put this life behind her altogether — leave the planet and start fresh somewhere. But with Basilica City boasting the best medical care in the galaxy, and her brother in failing health, it looks like she’ll be sticking around a while longer.
Chasing Sisyphus excerpt:
Adria hadn’t counted on the tripwire. This kid knew someone would follow him home one day. He’d strung a line of empty soup cans across the apartment hallway. When she kicked that out, a hefty serving of iced water came down squarely on her head. Gooseflesh prickled her neck and shoulders. The muscles in her jaw seized in the cold. Against the shock, she scrambled to her feet, fired up to catch the stomping and crashing in the other room before it got away.
A figure ran past the doorway.
“Stop!” she yelled.
It rounded the corner. Adria gave chase.
She scanned the room. It was dim at best, thanks to the streetlights from outside, but she saw enough. Computer equipment and various peripherals lay strewn across the floor, some still plugged into a transportable battery in the corner, emitting tiny lights and numbers.
A window slammed shut. The glass shattered. Shards crunched and ground beneath Adria’s boots as she hurried in pursuit of her fleeing target.
When she stepped out onto the fire escape, two hands rammed her into the ladder. The whole balcony shuddered from the collision. Pain flared down her shoulder, but she kept her grip on the gun. She held it up with her good arm and fired.
Two shots.
Missed.
She stumbled backward, clutching her burning shoulder, but the railing crumbled under her weight. Adria grabbed what was left of it with both hands as her footing slipped away.
It looked like a four-storey drop. Maybe five if she’d miscounted. Her legs dangled over thin air while from below came the clatter of broken pieces of railing, along with her gun, as they hit the concrete.
Overhead, her target stomped away on the rungs and disappeared onto the roof.
Adria’s shoulder raged. She tried to pull herself up, but couldn’t take the weight with just one good arm. Her feet kicked out, searching for a foothold, but the grill beneath had long withered away to slivers of rust and sharp edges.
Water and sweat dripped into her eyes. She swiped them helplessly on her sleeves and winced as rough seams grazed the skin. The railing creaked in her clammy grip. She could always let go. If she timed her landing right, maybe she’d get away with a broken ankle and a tetanus shot. Surely it only looked like a long way down.
Then she heard a gunshot from inside the apartment.
Back Cover Information
Bounty hunter Adria Yuan is hot on the trail of her final hit: a notorious hacker wanted by the city’s elite. With the reward, she can pay for her brother’s surgery and finally get out of Basilica City. Trouble is, her line of work’s not exactly legal, and she’s barely staying ahead of the cops who want her target, too.
Detective Rhys Carver may be a little unorthodox, but he’s a good cop. Born and bred in Basilica, he does his part to keep his city clean. As clean as it gets, at least. And with Adria suddenly in his sights, it’s going to take more than falling in love for him to let her go.
As the pair close in on their mark, they are unwittingly drawn into a high profile conspiracy that could thrust the whole of Basilica into chaos. Can Adria and Rhys set aside their differences, and their desires, to save the only home they know?

Taming the Alpha (Balls & Chains Series #2)By Amara Lebel
Title: Taming the AlphaSeries: Balls & Chains #2Genre:  M/M Paranormal BDSM RomanceWords: 53,300 (114 pages)Red-Hot Romance

Story blurb:
Past sins have forced Cadeon Rosseau into isolation, his pack turning against him and casting him out. Self-hatred and mutilation made him the male he is today. An alpha in his own right, he prowls the rooms at Balls & Chains in search of the one who will either save him from himself or break him completely. Jaded and alone, he finds it difficult to pull away from the self-made hell which has become his life, until a new submissive garners his attention…Curiosity and a need for adventure lured Blake Copeland to the doors of the famous gay BDSM club. He craved distraction from his monotonous life and had been assured that he would find it there. Little did he know exactly how true that statement would be. Not only did Blake find what he was looking for, but he also left with a slightly unhinged mate in tow…Will these two lone wolves find the strength to battle the obstacles in their path and build a future?
Excerpt from ‘Taming the Alpha’:
     “I can live with that. The fact that you’ll try for me, is enough.”     Cade’s chest ached at Blake’s words and the emotion in his pale eyes. If he weren’t careful, this male would be his undoing. It didn’t change the fact that he wanted him, though, and always would. He ached for him. “Blake, I need you.”     “Yes, Mon Liege.” Moving back, Blake remained on his knees, casting his eyes downward as he moved into position. “I am yours to do with as you please.”     “Such words, yet you have no idea what you’re asking for.” Cade stood, moving around his male as his body reacted to Blake’s willing submission. “You’d be nothing but a plaything to me. I would use your body, taking everything from you, and I wouldn’t go easy. I’d push you beyond your limits, force you to do things you normally wouldn’t. And then, when I’d exhausted your body and mind, I’d fuck you until you felt, nor knew, nothing but me. Think you can handle that, loup?”     Blake groaned, squirming where he knelt on the bathroom floor. “Yes, Mon Liege.”     Cade had to bite back the groan threatening to escape him. His male was something else, and he wanted him more than he had anyone else before him. “Bien, go to the playroom and get into position. You know the rules. I’ll be there soon.” Without uttering another word, Cade turned and left the room before he gave into his needs and took Blake on the bathroom floor like the animal he was.     A few minutes later, he was standing by the open door, staring down at his new plaything where he was kneeling on the floor, naked and in position. He was so fucking beautiful, and an eager and obedient submissive. It pleased Cade greatly. He wanted to reach out and touch Blake, to praise him, but now was not the time. He was his Dominant right now, not his mate. So instead, he moved to stand by his head which was currently pressed against the hardwood floor. “You know the rules. Repeat them, word for word, otherwise, we stop here and now.”     “I am unworthy of you, Mon Liege. I shall not look at you, nor will I touch you. I speak only when you give me permission to do so. I shall always refer to you as Mon Liege. And if I disobey, I will be punished.”     Cade smirked, he was so proud of his mate, but he wasn’t about to tell him that. Not yet. Without saying a word, he walked past Blake to retrieve two pairs of cuffs from the cabinet. One leather, and the other steel. “Stand.” As Blake moved to do as he was told, Cade made his way back to his plaything’s side. “Bend over and grasp your ankles.” Cade stood at his back, watching appreciatively as he bent over. His ass was bared and open to him. Temptation.

WATCHING HER - Pre-Order Your Copy for Just #99! #thriller #suspense #erotic #KU

What wouldn't I do?
Indulged and spoiled, fed everything I'd ever craved on a silver spoon, I still was lacking. A need for more had grown in the hot house I'd been raised in. It was a thirst I couldn't quench, a hunger that wouldn't be satisfied.
Until he came along. Hardly a knight in shining armour, he left me greedier than ever before. Travelling the globe, sashaying my hips and showing off my wares as I went, I never could have guessed the danger that was stalking me. Or who was stalking me.
Until the only thing that had ever mattered to me was threatened, and then I had to sit up and smell the roses. Torn between a ghost and a man who was strangely immune to my charms, I found myself on the run.
Trouble was, I was galloping into the danger and not away from it. I had to--instinct had taken over. She was all that mattered. I couldn't fail. I had to face my demons and hope the guardians who'd been sent to protect me were up to the job.

Watchdogs 1 CYCLOPS by Gale Stanley

Blurb:
Ray Miller finds his calling in the Army, but an explosion in Afghanistan takes his left eye and his career. Set adrift, he turns to alcohol, until an old army buddy shows up and offers Ray a job. Now Ray has a secret identity. He puts his combat skills to use as Cyclops, a paid assassin who rids the government of bad guys.
Then, one day a chance meeting sets off sparks, and Ray falls for a man who could destroy him. Hooking up with a cop is reckless, but the sex rocks Ray’s world. How long can he hide his secrets before the hitman becomes the target?
Excerpt:
Mission accomplished. A simple in and out job, take aim at the target and pull the trigger. Now it was time to vanish, lie low and keep my head down. I usually played by the rules, but tonight I didn’t want to be alone. Danger is an aphrodisiac and I was one anxious horndog. I didn’t sniff trouble in the wind, so I went to Jared’s apartment, where I could keep my head down and suck his cock at the same time.
My digital car clock said three am when I pulled into a dark spot behind Jared’s building. He’d be asleep, so I let myself in with the key he’d given me. I shed my clothes in the living room and left them on the floor. I wanted to slip into bed beside Jared and surprise him. Quiet as a church mouse, I opened the bedroom door. A floorboard creaked as I stepped over the threshold. The light came on, blinding me for a few seconds.
Jared sat up and looked daggers at me. “Do you know what time it is, Ray?”
I grinned sheepishly. “Time to get busy?”
“What were you doing until 3 am?”
“Missing you.”
“Right.” Jared threw a pillow at me. “Go home, Ray.”
I picked up the pillow and walked over to the bed. “Don’t be such a sourpuss.” I tucked the pillow behind his back. Yawning, I scrubbed a hand through my regulation cut, two inches of hair on the top of my head, and tapered down the sides and back. I like to leave a little for Jared to pull on. The thought made my dick even harder.
Jared lay down and put an arm over his face. “I have to get up for work in a few hours. Lock the door on your way out.”
I sat on the bed and slid my hand under the sheet. Jared’s limp dick didn’t budge when I made contact. Damn, he really was pissed. “Okay, go to sleep. I’ll just lie next to you.”
“I don’t want you here, Ray.”
My temper rose, but I tamped it down. I have a short fuse but I try to lengthen it around Jared. A few slow deep breaths calmed me down. I pulled Jared’s arm back and stared at his face. His eyes were closed and it was hard to tell if he meant what he said. “Look at me, babe.”
Reluctantly, he opened his eyes. God, he was gorgeous. Honey brown hair framed high cheekbones and emerald green eyes. “Come on, babe, you know you don’t mean it.”
Jared and I had been together for eight months, and I’d gotten used to having a steady fuck, or as steady as it could be in my line of work. I didn’t see Jared as much as he would have liked, and the longer we were together, the harder it was to explain my absences. But, nothing worthwhile came easy and I was determined to keep him. I liked knowing Jared was there when I needed him. And right then, I needed him bad.

Saturday Spankings #SatSpanks #erotic #romance

Welcome to Saturday Spankings. I've been quiet for a few weeks because I've been trekking in Nepal (I got some serious inspiration, pics of my trip HERE!). But here I am again, with a snippet from TAKING CHARGE my steamy  BDSM themed erotic romance set around Westminster in London and it's had some great 5* reviews while I've been on holiday.

Despite her success in the world of politics, Sheena Nichols has grown tired of spending her nights alone, and when her need for a man to take charge in the bedroom becomes too intense to ignore she seeks out a professional. But she gets much more than she bargained for...
While mastering Sheena properly is a challenge Julian Roath is more than happy to accept, he has no need for her money. When he claims her, it is purely for the pleasure of seeing her blush as she's made to kneel naked at his feet, hearing her beg as her bare bottom is soundly spanked, and feeling her writhe in ecstasy as he enjoys her body in any way he pleases.
Before she knows it, Sheena finds the strict control she's always maintained over her life slipping away as Julian shows her what it means to be thoroughly dominated. But is she truly prepared to surrender herself completely to a man who will not hesitate to take what he wants?


Sheena reared forward dragging against the cuffs and staggering on her toes. Her climax had barely receded and another was on its way.And her ass, damn it, it was on fire. Already she’d lost count of the number of spanks Julian had set soundly on her buttocks.Her pussy was damp, her breasts heaving over the corset.“Only just begun?” she repeated breathlessly.“Yes. Now it’s time to see how you cope with orgasm after orgasm as you receive your spanking.”She groaned and closed her eyes. Behind her lids she could still see the flickering of the candles in the room, it was as if they’d become imprinted.“Keep your legs apart,” Julian said, slipping his hand between her thighs. He found her entrance and pushed in. “Oh... you’re so wet.”The filling sensation along with the wand sent her spiralling into a fresh climax. Her pussy throbbed, hugging his fingers and her clitoris sent out a new wave of bliss over her nerves.He withdrew and slapped her again, each cheek. Hard, fast spanks that spread white-hot heat over her skin. The heat mixed with the orgasm, intensifying it and making her heart rattle wildly. She shoved herself forward to escape another spank but the action set her clit more soundly over the wand.She cried out as she came again. How many more times could she climax?
