Southern Comforts Anthology NEW RELEASE

Southern Comforts AnthologyOnly 99 cents for a limited time! 
Stiff drinks, hard men and hot southern nights.
Finding love can prove to be a difficult journey for even the strong-hearted, but when you've been hurt, the path to find comfort can be a long, seemingly never ending one. But there is hope as each of these stories demonstrate, and love can be found when each of these characters allow passion and desire to light their way.

Kentucky on the Rocks by Gwendolyn Grace: Josette Lewis has been living a lie and needs to get out of Kentucky as soon as possible. To her devastation, the ultimatum she gives her long time boyfriend, Derek, has backfired. Before she can tuck tail and move home to California she must put her house on the market and upgrade her security system to keep Derek out of her life for good. When, Aidan Ross, a hunky security consultant shows at her front door Josette is instantly charmed by his sexy grin and easy-going ways. Can she let go of her familiar pretenses and allow Aidan convince her to take another chance at love.

I loved his dominance in bed and that he took from me what he wanted. I loved his dirty mouth as he described everything he wanted to do to me and followed through on every word. He had total power over my pleasure, and I was all too happy to give him the control.


Tequila Sunrises over Georgia by Yara Greathouse: Gia chooses to fill her life with work instead of love. As the top home designer in her firm, she is prepared to handle anything… until she meets Carter. He owns the company that was hired for renovations and he takes a very hands-on approach to everything. Suddenly Gia finds herself daydreaming about Carter demonstrating his hands-on abilities with her… One night, after a few drinks, their imminent attraction takes over and an agreement is made: They will be each other’s sexual comfort and nothing more for the length of this project. Will they be able to keep their arrangement without complications? Or will it be too hard to say goodbye?

I taste her, lick her. I inhale her. I don't want the moment to end.
She tastes like mint, cherries and obsession. 
I press behind her back, pulling her closer. 
We lost ourselves in that kiss. 
We found each other in that kiss. 
Our bodies melded while we kissed. 
It was a perfect unexpected seal.
I was out of breath and willing to let her take all my oxygen.
It was a kiss to be remembered. 
A kiss where our lips worshiped each other and marred us for other people.
When we finally came up for air, it was done slowly.
I don't think I will experience another first kiss like this with anyone else, because I want all my future kisses to come from her. 
Only her.


Alabama Sweet Tea by S.C. Hutchinson: After ten years, Christi thought she left Alabama and all it represented behind. Her life was great. She loved her job, loved her friends, and loved city life.Brian has become quite a success as an attorney. His opponents cower before him and do everything to avoid facing him in an actual court room. Ten years ago, his life changed. She disappeared from his life, but not from his heart. She is the one 'case' he could never crack. Now, she has returned home to bury her father and settle his estate. Is this his chance? Will he find answers to his questions?

She felt his hands reach for hers. His fingers caressed the smooth skin on her arms until they found the top button of her blouse. He broke the seal of their kiss as he began to speak. 
"If I were to tell you that I loved you before we were introduced, would you believe me?" The first button was unfastened. His hands slowly slid toward the next button. "If I told you that I know more about you than you realize, would you know I spoke the truth?"

Tennessee Moonshine by Ella Dominguez: Everyone finds comfort in something different, for Dustin, it's decorating his flesh and brewing moonshine. Businessman by day, he hides his passion for ink beneath a suit, but when he meets a beautiful stranger at a local tattoo shop who then shows up at his place of business, there's no hiding his attraction for her. Sparks fly when they give into their desires, but it's only when they learn to let the past go that they find comfort in one another.

"Find anything interesting?" he chimed in, startling her.
She promptly jumped up. "You've been quite thorough. From what I can tell, anyway. I'm no expert on these things. I was worried that..." her neatly plucked eyebrows slammed together.
"That I wouldn't remain professional after our little encounter?" Defensiveness tinged his words as he stepped into the office and strode toward his desk.
"Little encounter?" Uncertainty laced her words.
"What would you call it?" he glared at her.
"I wouldn't call it anything." When she saw him wince, she whispered, "God, that sounded bad. I didn't mean it to come out like that." She sighed and sank into the chair across from his desk. "I'm so bad at this."
He seated himself and crossed his arms over his chest. "This?"
"Dating."
"Is that what we're doing?" he asked when her eyes flicked upward and met his. "Dating seems like a big leap. I thought we were just getting to know each other."
"I suppose," her voice lowered to a whisper.
Now it was his turn to apologize. "Damn, we're both bad at this. I'm sorry, I just thought we had a genuine connection the other night and after talking to you all week... I thought... Oh, hell..." he broke off. 
"There is a connection. You're not wrong about that," she leaned forward on her chair to reach her hands across his desk. "I enjoy your company," she skimmed her fingers over the tops of his hands. "And I love talking to you. It's been a long time since I've done this thing we're doing. And you have no idea how grateful I am that you're still willing to work on my finances despite my being so...," she moistened her lips in a nervous gesture and fidgeted with the nameplate on his desk, "distant. But I have my reasons. I just can't go into them," the loud gulp of her swallow could be heard. "Not yet, anyway."
"I get it," he swiftly cut her off and reached for his coffee. 
"Good," she exhaled a loud sigh of relief. "So can we go back to your place again or what? I've been dying for another taste of that moonshine and to get you in the sack again."


Texas with a Twist by C.C. Wood: In high school, Gabby yearned for Logan Westfall from afar, unaware that he wanted her just as badly. But Logan had a plan- to leave his hometown as soon as he graduated, so he never made his move.
Fourteen years later, Logan returns and his sights are set on Gabby St. John. He walked away from her once, and it's a mistake he won't repeat. She's the one that got away, but not for long.
"Just promise me you'll give me and us a chance, Gabby.""One day at a time," she whispered."One day at a time.""Okay."Instead of answering, Logan kissed her, his lips soft and sweet. Gabby felt her heart turn over at the gentleness of his touch. He was offering her everything she ever wanted. She only needed the guts to take it. She climbed off his lap, holding out a hand. He took it and let her help him to his feet. Without a word, she led him into her bedroom. If they were going to take this one day a a time, then she wanted to make the most of this day. And every day that she could.

Trailer: https://www.goodreads.com/videos/7781...

Warning: This is neither a conventional romance nor a traditional love story. There are no hearts and flowers on the pages of this book. The heroine doesn't always make wise choices and though I've tried to make her strong, she's often times weak in the face of the fierce hero. The hero is not a knight in a shining armor. He's broken and frequently cruel, and what every woman in the real world should avoid. What's contained in this book isn't real - it's fiction; dark, depraved and decadent make-believe. Contains detailed sexual encounters, uncomfortable situations and erotic elements including voyeurism, oral and anal. Intended for readers 18+. If you're down with that, then by all means... read on.

Obsession, possession, resilience, insanity...

Seeking solitude and reprieve from her past failed relationships, Elsa begins her life anew in Richmond, hoping to find the change that she so desperately needs. Things are looking up for her, a new job, new friends... a fresh start.

But Victor has different plans for her. From the moment he heard her voice and set his eyes on Elsa, she became next on his to-do list; his Chapter 8. A well-known and respected criminal profiler, his mind is as dark as the people he hunts down. It takes one to know one, after all. Under the guise of making his subjects stronger, he intends to break Elsa down using everything in his arsenal, including pleasure, pain, humiliation, and things unspeakable. Everyone is fair game in his book and he discriminates against no one when he chooses his test subjects.

Lonely, still on the mend from a bad break-up and longing for sexual attention, Elsa consents to an odd proposition, unaware of Victor's plans. However, she can't be broken so easily and what he puts her through only fuels the fire burning within her, a flame that begins to blaze out of control as she becomes obsessed with everything about Victor and peeling back his cruel layers in search of the real man hiding beneath his heartless facade.

In Victor's world, there is no such thing as happily ever after and Chapter 8 proves to be an infuriating challenger when she flips the tables on his selfish and twisted game, a game they both may end up losing their hearts and minds over. (less)

Pieces of One (Dark Life Collection #1) by SVC Ricketts

Two men want me and I want them. Simple, right? Except for one slight complication…

For over two years, I’ve been dealing with a pain in the butt MY way.

Separately.

She has her life and I have mine. They don’t intermingle. It’s the only way to keep things sane. But now she’s done something monumentally stupid and the only way to untangle myself from her mess is to live life in her shoes. Me, on the run in five inch stilettos. Great.

My name is Trista Dividir. I have Dissociative Identity Disorder and Marvy is my other personality, my alter.

To get my life back, I lie, I cheat, and I fall for both of her lovers. Little do I know, I’m not the only liar.

Did I mention I have another alter? Yeah, I didn’t know about her either.


Book one in a three part contemporary romantic suspense series. 

** Due to explicit language and scenes, this is recommended for a mature audience, 21+ **



Excerpt
He stares at me in the elevator, waiting for me to say something. I nervously keep my eyes forward, trying not to catch his reflection, but it’s pointless in the mirrored elevator. Struggling to suppress the smile pulling the corners of my mouth, I pucker my lips when I catch myself glimpsing his well landscaped body. My heart slams my ribs with fear and admittedly, a little pleasure.Frozen in place, I finally swallow the deluge of saliva building in my mouth. “About my car, my friend drove me here and she’s waiting for me outside.”He hasn’t taken his eyes off me, but they narrow as he tips his head to the side. “Yeah, I saw it last night when the valet guys brought me the keys. It’s safe.”Tilting my head down, I dart my eyes left and right. “So…um…can I get them?”“They’re in the office.”I blanch and my head jerks up. “What the heck? Then why are we going to the penthouse?” My voice squeaks like a prepubescent boy; I can’t help it. For a moment, I stop breathing. Please don’t let him want to get some.A twisting pain guts me as the knots in my stomach clamp down.The guy flashes a smile that should be illegal in this universe. My mind begins to wander with Marvy-like thoughts.“You look different in the daylight.” My ears erupt in flames. Instinctively, I move my ponytail forward trying to block my face. I wish I had a hat on. Irritated at both myself and his comment, my back stiffens. “I like this look,” I say flatly.“I do too! But it so doesn’t look like you.” Unabashed, he moves closer. On impulse, I try to match his steps moving farther away, but he closes the distance.“What’s wrong?” he asks, brushing his fingers against my arm.The knots sail from my stomach to my chest and then back down to my stomach. I know I should keep my distance, but my feet aren’t moving this time. “Nothing,” I whisper, my breath lost.Leaning in, he traps me between his arms and the mirrored wall. I have no choice but to spin and face him. His closeness makes me back up, only to realize I’m against the same wall he was against last night. He cocks his head to catch my gaze. The flare in them should be a warning I heed, but I’m lost in a sea of hazel-green. Dipping his head, he kisses the nape of my neck below my ear and I am drowning.Oh my God! My eyes flutter back as I unsuccessfully try not to enjoy it, but my mind is in a freefall. The knots melt, turning warm and slick below my hips. Between my thighs they explode with pulses. His soft lips explore behind my ear, and with small soft teasing bites. When he moves to my mouth, every resolve I walked in with disintegrates.His kisses are rough at first but he must notice my unease. Pulling back, he holds my face, and searches my eyes for a few blinks. The next kiss is a baiting tender lip touch and small nibbles. I respond to the sweetness and part my mouth to taste more of him. When his hands go to my hips to pull me closer, my arms go around his neck as if they belong there. I stand on my tippy toes to maximize every inch to reach him. He moves his hand up to my breast, cupping it like he did with Marvy last night. Reality slams into me and I snap my eyes open, tears stinging my sight. Panting, I shove him back. Fucking fuck–all! I was right! He is a great kisser, but I can’t do this. This is her, not me. I look at the lights indicating floors. I swear this damn elevator was faster last night! Catching my breath I rattle, “I…I...I can’t do this right now. I just came to get my car. I have shit to do today and my friend is waiting outside.”Stunned, he blinks at me. “Oooh–kay.” He narrows his eyes again. “Are you sure you’re all right?”I shed my jacket as it’s suddenly piping hot in the elevator. “Yeah, I’m fine.”“What the hell is this?” he asks, grabbing my arm with the bruises. “Did he do this?” My eyebrows shoot up. He? So it wasn’t this guy! I think happily with a small smile of relief.“Wipe that look off your face, Marvy. I told you he’s dangerous!” He points a finger and the severe tone tells me more than I want to know about Marvy’s outing. The guy growls and rakes his hands through his hair. “Look, I’m sorry. It’s just I’ve seen how he treats women,” he says with a softer tone, tracing the bruises on my arm.
I jump a few inches when Kitta’s ringtone, Baby Got Back, pierces the silence. I step out of the guy’s grasp and fumble with my phone to answer it.
