Hump Day Hook: Oscar enjoys watching in The Power of Three #HDH #PNR #erotica #menage
Hello everyone! Welcome to the last Hump Day Hook of July. Today, I’m sharing a hook from my first erotica story, which released just over a year ago from Decadent Publishing.
Here’s an excerpt from The Power of Three,
available from Decadent & other ebook retailers.
Oscar groaned as Delayna rubbed her husband’s ass, her signature move in seducing him. Even though Bo feigned sleep, the man’s twitching foot gave him away. Next, she would reach around to grasp his cock, and Oscar held his breath in anticipation of the move.
As her hand rode up Bo’s shaft, Oscar closed his eyes, imagining her fingers tightening ever so gently on him. Just enough to amplify his need. She dragged her thumb up the vein on the underside of his dick. Oh yeah. And then back down. If only….

Lush, Bold and Beautiful by Jane Kent
If life were a television series, then Gabriel Benton’s life has suddenly become an episode in the classic Twilight Zone…where nothing is as he thought it was…
When Gabe returns home to his family’s Niagara Peninsula vineyard, after close to ten years in Europe, for the funeral of the father he’s only recently reconciled with, there is more than one shock waiting for him. The first is that his father has not cut him out of his will as Gabe had always supposed; Gabe is now a co-owner of the Stone Crock and Oak Barrel Winery with his mother…and his ex-wife, Ayanna. And second, Ayanna is thought of and treated as a daughter by his mother, and she and her sister have apparently been living with his parents for nearly a decade…something that no one had bothered to tell him. Third, sometime between trying to poison him—figuratively, not literally—with her cooking during their brief marriage and Gabe’s return to Canada, his ex-wife has become the highly-regarded chef of the winery’s onsite restaurant.
And life has a few more surprises in store for Gabe, not the least of which is being blind-sided by the very unexpected sexual attraction he still feels every time he’s in the same room with Ayanna. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist or a relationship counselor to tell Gabe what he already knows…Ayanna would likely throw herself into the Niagara gorge or over the Falls before letting him anywhere near her body—or her heart—ever again. She has every reason to hate the cheating, vice-addicted wild boy he’d once been…and he can’t really blame her.
So, exactly how, in the name of Dionysus, god of ritual madness and ecstasy, is he supposed to make this partnership work?

Spotlight: The Demon Side & The Human Side by Heaven Leigh Eldeen
The Demon Side Series
By
Heaven Leigh Eldeen
The Demon Side
(The Demon Side Series, #1)
Blurb: Every kid has problems. Every kid has even more problems when they move to a new home. But when a kid with problems moves to a new home that has a Demon living inside it—look out!
Etta’s world is about to spin out of control when she encounters her new roommate—and Rahovart, that ancient trickster, is in for a few surprises too. So don’t mind all the crashing and rumbling; that’s just the normal noise Angels and Demons make when they’re fighting an epic war in the attic.
One thing’s for sure: Etta and Rahovart will have to go through Hell to Heaven and back again before that old Victorian home in Quantico Town finally quiets down…
Excerpt – The Demon Side:
Etta plopped back onto her bed and stared at the ceiling for a few moments. I wished I could hear her thoughts. Her father had just admitted to being a murderer for all practical purposes, though that was not how I viewed him. I truly believed John only tried to save the village, but his fervor and some help from a desperate Alastor, turned what should have been a heroic act into a bloodbath. Many men have unknowingly fallen from grace in the name of the greater good. Now, hopefully Etta would see that her father was just the victim of blurred lines between good and evil.
“What are you thinking?” I asked as I lay down next to her on the bed.
“Can a person still go to Heaven even if they’ve killed someone?”
“Well, I’m not in the business of getting people to Heaven, Etta. That’s the last place I want them to go,” I reluctantly replied.
“Even if it were me?” Etta stared hard at me with watery eyes, looking right into my blackened soul. I never gave much thought to where her soul would go, except to stop her from mistakenly giving it to me.
“That is a choice for you to make. I can’t force you to choose a side. I can only put the temptations in front of you.”
“You didn’t answer my question.”
“What do you want me to say? I want to see you burn in the depths of Hell? You’ll never hear that from me. Only you and your actions can decide where you go when you leave this world.”
“I would go if it meant I could be with you, you know.”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about.” As much as I would have loved for that to be the case, her comment angered me. I couldn’t imagine a person like her becoming something like me.
“I know that when you’re around I feel safe nothing could ever hurt me. I get butterflies in my stomach when you touch me. I know your soul, Ra. I don’t know how, but I know. I knew it the second I saw you. You weren’t meant for this existence. You fought for good once, and I’m certain you will again.” Etta was strong in words. She spoke with solid confidence. She described what I felt.
The Human Side
(The Demon Side Series, #2)
Blurb: From above, Etta’s life seems to be calming down in the town of Quantico, Virginia, but with every passing moment away from his love, Rahovart finds the emptiness unbearable.
After redeeming himself once again as an Arch, Rahovart is still unable to let his past go. Needing to be near Etta, he strikes a deal with Father—except it turns into a mission with great consequences.
With Arch Angel Gabriel in tow, Rahovart sets out to prove himself worthy of Etta’s love, only to face discouragement from Etta’s father, John, and her new boyfriend, Tristan—on top of the threats made to Etta. Would he be able to protect her if she no longer remembered him or shared the love the once held so dearly?
One thing’s for sure: The past, with all of its secrets and lies will come back to haunt them all.
Excerpt – The Human Side:
“I have two solutions, but the choice of which to accept is up to you. There is plenty of time to think about these choices, but remember, whatever you choose, you will be bound to it.”
“What are the choices Father?”
“Your first choice is an exchange. Swear never to interfere with Etta’s life again, and all you have lost will be restored, including rank and principalities. If and when she returns to Heaven, her memories will be restored. Break the promise at any time for any reason, your soul shall be sent to Purgatory and Etta’s Guardians will be removed from her detail. As for the second choice, go to Earth in human form with no wings, no abilities. Show Etta the same cruelty and disdain as when the Demon Rahovart met her. Etta fell in love with a Demon once. It should be quite interesting to see if she can do it again. She must profess her love without coaxing or prompting. There can be no mention of our deal or what lies beyond the veil, including who you truly are, where you come from. Fail to abide by the rules or rekindle her affections, your days shall be spent on Earth with no recollection of life beyond the veil. But, succeed, and you can return home with the added benefit of continuing your relationship with her. Visit her anytime as long as it does not interfere with work.”
I listened intently as Father explained my options. Both carried heavy consequences if I failed to abide by their guidelines. He’d given me a life or death decision to make, but I didn’t need time to think. Without thought or question, I gave Father my answer.

Back List Blast from The Power of Three #PNR #erotica #menage
Hello and welcome to my last Back List Blast post for now! I started these posts as a way to share excerpts from my stories after Six Sentence Sunday ended. But now, I’m participating in Hump Day Hook (Wednesdays) and My Sexy Saturday, which work very much the same way.
I’m also on Paranormal Romantics today, talking about the movie R.I.P.D. Please stop by!
For my last BLB post, I’m sharing an excerpt from The Power of Three, a paranormal erotica MMF menage, which is part of Decadent Publishing‘s The Edge line. And it was the first erotica story I wrote. My first paranormal, too.
Here’s an excerpt:
Delayna crawled across the bed to her nightstand. She pulled out a box of condoms and a bottle of lube. “We’re going to need these.” She then shuffled to the end of the bed, pulling him and Bo to stand before her.
Gazing up at them, she grabbed a cock with each hand. Oscar shivered in anticipation. A year of imaginings paled in comparison to the real thing. She drew Bo’s dick into her mouth first. He’d anticipated as much. She had to play favorites, but he didn’t.
He clasped Bo’s jaw and claimed his mouth. The man surprised him by responding to the kiss rather than pulling away. He lined the firm lips with his tongue, seeking entrance. He intended to pleasure them both. When granted access, he plundered the man’s mouth, taking all he offered.
“Holy fuck, that is so hot.”
They broke apart to see Delayna staring up at them.
Bo pulled her into his arms. “Maybe I’ve had this fantasy, too.”

The Craziest Blog Tour Ever: Interview with Mars & Mars. WIN $25 Amazon GC! @Liza0Connor
Hello everyone! It’s a special day today. I have two of Liza O’Connor’s secondary characters here for an interview. Sorry, her notes seem a bit mangled. She has you both down as the butler with the name Mars.
Mars: That is correct. I run Master Lancaster’s penthouse, and Mars runs his Long Island Estate.
Well, that’s going to make for a confusing interview.
So I’m calling you Young Mars and you–
Old Mars: *furrows brow*
Mars Senior.
Mars Senior: That is sufficient. Honestly, this has never been a problem because a butler rarely leaves his place of responsibility.
Young Mars: I call mine the war zone, but same thing. I don’t dare leave it.
So what is it like working for Trent Lancaster?
Butlers: *both stare at her with matching raised eyebrows*
It’s okay to tell me. Liza sent dispensation letters for both of you.
Mars Senior: Miss Liza may send what she pleases, but it does not change the creed of my profession. A butler never talks out of turn.
Then what are we going to talk about?
Mars Senior: *rises and examines the shiny metal walls.* I have never been in a spaceship before. Would you mind if I have a look around?
*sighs* Go ahead. *glares at Young Mars* Don’t you want to go examine the ship, too?
Young Mars: *leans back and smiles* I’d rather trade you an understanding of Master Trent for an in-depth tour and understanding how this ship works.
You can tell no one what you learn.
Young Mars: You have my word as a butler.
So how horrible is Master Trent?
Young Mars: *brow wrinkles* Now or a week ago?
Has there been a major improvement in a week?
Young Mars: In fact, there has. I had either forgotten how horrible he used to be or he reached new lows when Carrie went to Taiwan for a month. This last month has been a bloody nightmare. But from the day Carrie returned, Master Trent began to calm, and a few days ago he actually thanked me for calling the doctor and getting him an appointment.
That’s just common courtesy, hardly proof of anything.
Young Mars: For you and me, yes. But Master Trent has always believed saying thank you was redundant and unnecessary since the receipt of a paycheck should be thanks enough.
Seriously?
Young Mars: I do not jest when it comes to Master Trent. Miss Carrie is truly metamorphosing him into a better man. Whether he’ll ever become a butterfly remains to be seen. But at least he is not a destructive caterpillar anymore.
That’s a good analogy. Most earthlings see caterpillars as harmless soft bellied bugs, but burrowed deep in the Fidas asteroid cluster, there lives a 300 meter long caterpillar that devours minerals from within the asteroid. It also swallows any mining ships that attempts to land there.
Young Mars: Intriguing. Do you by chance need a butler?
I thought you said Master Trent had improved. Why are thinking about jumping ship now?
Young Mars: I said he improved, not that he had a full brain transplant. Becoming a butler on a spaceship sounds like a far better life.
Give me your hand then.
Young Mars: *reaches to her then grimaces as she painfully scraps away skin from his palm.*
*I place the scraper into a tube and caps it. I walk to the metal wall and a small opening appears. I place the tube inside and muttering. I return to my chair and smile.*
While it is against regulations to remove critical humans from Earth, we are allowed to clone those we deem worthy. So while you must stay and help Carrie nurture Trent into a better man, an exact replica of you will live the life you’ve requested.
Young Mars: You mean–
In eighteen hours and 27 minutes, my ship will have a new Logisitics officer. I’ll name him Mars 3.
Old Mars: *returns* We need to be going now. I’m not comfortable leaving my staff alone. Honestly they are like participants in Survivor, the Bachelor and Big Brother all combined into one horrible nightmare. By the way, your ship needs dusting.
*Glances at my wrist* Well, in 18 hours and 25 minutes, I’ll address the matter with my new logistics officer.
Young Mars: *stands and shakes my hand* I envy the lucky Logistics officer. Still, it’s nice to know that person will be having a far more interesting life than me.
Old Mars: *shakes head* It’s dusting. What’s interesting about that?
Young Mars: The fact that is dust from a different planet makes a great deal of difference.
Well, thanks for coming. *I see them to the transporter and send them on their way. Then I face the communication wall.* I didn’t have the heart to tell Young Mars that I’ve been stranded on earth for 11 years and that all the dust collecting in this space ship is just the common earth variety. He might have demanded his clone back.
Here’s more information about Liza O’Connor’s book Worst Week Ever. She’s calling it a humorous contemporary romance. Trent and Carrie are one couple. Hmmm, I wonder who the other romance is with.
Worst Week Ever
by Liza O’Connor
New Adult, Humor, Contemporary
What do you get when you put a hardworking, can-do middle-class young woman together with a egoistical, outrageous, billionaire boss, then throw in the worst week of disasters imaginable?
Book 1 of the 3 book series A Long Road to Love.
Worst Week Ever.
Trent Lancaster spends one month without his Executive Assistant, or as his drivers refers to Carrie: ‘Trent’s brain, left hand, and right hand’. He’s had a miserable month without her at his side and to ensure it never happens again, he intends to marry his brilliant beauty. Only given all the times he’s threatened to fire her, he’s not sure she even likes him. However, the future of his company and his happiness depend upon him succeeding, so Trent begins a slow one week seduction that happens to coincide with Carrie’s Worst Week Ever when everything that can go wrong does so in hilarious form.
(Hilarious to the reader–Carrie is not having much fun this week.)
EXCERPT
Closing his eyes, Trent enjoyed the pleasure of Carrie’s body pressed against his.
His eyes popped open in horror. Oh God, David’s right. I am besotted.
What the hell was he thinking?
Statistically, his relationships never lasted more than a month and they always ended badly. A billionaire who couldn’t make a relationship last more than a month. How horrible did he have to be to chase off women who had a billion reasons to stick it out?
If he became involved with his most valuable employee, in a month, she’d dump him and quit. Then his business would collapse into chaos and he’d finally prove his father right. The old man constantly claimed Trent was a worthless human being and the world’s worst businessman.
And then Carrie arrived and single handedly saved his company. She never gave up. If one solution failed, she’d find another way to resolve the problem.
He smiled at his sleeping EA. If anyone could make him into a better man, it would be her. Carrie could solve any problem, had the patience of a saint, and the determination of a pitbull. Best of all, she loved a challenge.

The trilogy is out! Meet the Boys of DownCrash! @London_Casey
Please welcome London Casey back to Mark of the Stars!
Now that The Boys of DownCrash trilogy is fully published, I want to thank the readers for supporting the series AND for those who haven’t read the books yet, why not meet the band, DownCrash?
Tripp – featured in The Stronger, Safer Kind, Tripp meets Scarlett and it’s instant. They don’t know why at first but as they reveal each other’s pasts, they realize how much they have in common. Beyond the physical attraction. Beyond the feelings of love too. They’re both in pain and they seek each other and music to save themselves.
Tatum – featured in Torn to Pieces, Tatum is rough and tough. He’s tall and strong and isn’t afraid to defend Maggie when something terrible comes close to happening her. He can’t stop thinking about her and Maggie is afraid to open to Tatum. But then something horrifying happens… a person comes back from Maggie’s past and threatens to take everything away from her. Including her life. And it might be something that even Tatum couldn’t handle.
Logan – in the final book of The Boys of DownCrash, Some Kind of Hell, Logan and Annie fall in love. It’s almost picture perfect… how they flirt, push each other away, chase each other, and succumb to their feelings. They share personal stories and as DownCrash is growing more and more popular, things are on the rise. Then two devastating pieces of news hit both Logan and Annie, tearing them apart. But there’s something that can never break them apart… and Annie hopes it’s love.
The series is now available for Kindle – and for the first time ever, available for Nook and Kobo! 
Some Kind of Hell
(The Boys of DownCrash #3)
In the trilogy finale, shy DownCrash bassist, Logan, has his sexy eyes on Maggie’s best friend, Annie. But Annie is still reeling from the way her relationship ended. She’s hurt, angry, jealous, and the last thing she wants is some wannabe rockstar looking for his next hookup… although it may just be what she needs.
Logan wants more for his life. The past is living in his apartment, which forces him to spend nights in his car to avoid reliving the nightmare over and over again.
When Annie’s guard comes down, tragedy strikes and their lives will be changed forever. Determined to win Annie over and help DownCrash get signed to a record deal, Logan has his work cut out for him. His gorgeous body and no-bullshit personality may just be the key to both…
The Stronger, Safer Kind
(The Boys of DownCrash #1)
All Scarlett wanted to do was thank the sexy stranger who helped her push away a drunk, grabby college boy at a bar. When that stranger identifies himself as Tripp and then takes the stage as the lead singer and guitarist for rock band, DownCrash, everything in Scarlett’s life begins to change.
Her best friend, Andy, confesses his love for her and leaves her with what should be an easy decision to make… yet each time she looks in Andy’s eyes, she can’t help but face her secret, nightmarish past.
The only thing that makes Scarlett feel better is Tripp… but Tripp isn’t just a bad boy rockstar, he’s hurt. He’s in pain. He tries to hide his pain in a bottle, but Scarlett believes that, perhaps, their secrets can help each other.
Friendship and love is suddenly put to the test, and Scarlett is torn… Will she choose an easy, comfortable, happy life or a life clouded with mixed signals, raw emotion, and intense romance?
Torn to Pieces
(The Boys of DownCrash #2)
Trying to forget about the promises she was forced to make as a young, naive eighteen year old, Maggie creates a false persona that paints her as the girl who never says no…
However, once she lays eyes on the drummer of DownCrash, everything clicks. From his sexy lip ring to the way he stares at her from the stage, Tatum becomes everything Maggie has ever fantasized about.
When trouble catches up to her in a parking garage after a DownCrash show, and Tatum shows up out of nowhere to protect her. For the first time in years, she is intimidated by a man’s kindness and sexiness, and not by his temper and jealousy. As real feelings begin to grow Maggie is faced with her past and wonders if she’ll ever be able to escape the promises she once made to keep the promises she wants to make right now.

Hump Day Hook Giveaway Week! Danger in Never Gonna Desert You #HDH #LGBT #scifirom
Hello everyone! It’s giveaway week for Hump Day Hook. And since I’m sharing an excerpt from the second book in The Underground series, I’m going to give away the first book, Never Gonna Let You Go. I will be gifting it from All Romance.
To enter, leave a comment below telling me your favorite thing to do in the summer. My favorite thing is to sit outside reading or writing while the kids play.
No purchase necessary. Contest is international. Must be 18 or older to enter. Good luck!
Here’s another look at Never Gonna Desert You,
available from Decadent Publishing & other ebook retailers.
Brook has set out to find Melina.
But her life is in danger:
She opened the folder with her mission directive inside. Instead of the stack of papers detailing what Planet Core expected of her, she found a single sheet. Her father’s handwriting scrawled across the page. You can never know the truth.
Hard, cold steel pressed against her temple. A gun. Her breath caught. What the fuck is going on? She grabbed her knapsack and launched out of the vehicle.
