Molly Ryan survived one attack, and she’s not about to be a sitting duck for another. With her attacker harassing her from his jail cell, she packs up her life in Chicago, follows her Delta Force brother to North Carolina and gets work in a pub.

Men in uniform are definitely off her menu, but her boss’s friend, Army Ranger Callum Eversman, is one hot hunk she’d like to sample.

Home on a two-week furlough, Cal has agreed to watch over Molly as a favor to fellow Ranger Noah Harper. Accomplishing his mission without her noticing? That’s going to be tough, as any idiot can see their sparks of attraction from a mile away.

Despite her hands-off-military-men policy, Molly is tempted to indulge, just this once, in a no-strings-attached fling. No dating, no kissy face, no hearts involved. But when her past threatens her future, there’s only one man to turn to. The one who’ll risk everything—body, heart, and soul—to protect her. Warning: Contains an Army Ranger with a gruff exterior and heart of gold, a heroine with a sassy attitude, and some hot borderline-public sex.

Lainie is a thirty year old, full-figured woman entrenched in a love affair with a married man. Although Lainie loves Mason desperately, she vows never to say those three little words while he remains with his wife.

Stayman, an enigma in Lainie’s close-knit group of friends, has been circling her with interest, trying to garner her attention. When circumstances make it clear who’s blocking his way—Mason—Stay goes full-court press in pursuit of Lainie.

Lainie doesn’t see Stay as relationship potential because she is blinded by her love for Mason. However, the more she learns about Stay, the more she comes to realize she never really knew him in the first place.

An unexplainable mystical connection evolves between Lainie and Stay and she has to choose between a man she so hopelessly loves and a man who offers her everything she needs.



 

I slipped into the jacket and latched the repeating circles onto my wrist. The bottom of the coat stopped just where the broad lines of the dress changed from horizontal to vertical. “What do you think?” I asked Samantha.“You look stunning,” a deep male voice responded. I turned around and found Stay smiling at me.“Wow Stay,” Sam said before I could respond. “Looking mighty handsome. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think this is a date.”Stayman looked sharp in his black dress pants, matching coat, and dark-gray dress shirt. I gazed at him but was at a loss for words. We stared at each other for a second.Sam saved me by saying, “Stay, there’s a wire mannequin in the attic that I’d like brought down, and Lane and I can’t lift it. I wondered if you could do that for us. Not now. I wouldn’t want you to mess up your clothes, but—”As he removed his coat, he said, “It shouldn’t take long and I’ll just take off my shirt.”
 He started unbuttoning as both Samantha and I watched as he slowly revealed his chest. Stay slipped out of his shirt and laid it neatly on top of his jacket.His smooth, lean torso was highly defined and I got caught staring at his chest. He winked at me and then said to Sam, “Come on and show me the way.”Once they walked away, I glared into the mirror and said, “Don’t even think about it.”Minutes later, he had managed to carry the mannequin down.“Let’s put it in the back,” I said, leading the way. “It needs to be cleaned up before it can be out on the floor.” I showed him where to put it. Scanning his physique from his head to his shoes, I noticed that he continued to let his golden-brown hair grow in and chose to where black boots instead of dress shoes. To make matters worse, his five o’clock shadow was incredibly sexy. Damn, he looks hot. Look away girl, just look away! “Here,” I said, holding out a lint roller, but not making eye contact.Some dust had settled on the front of his pants just over the zipper area. “You don’t want to help?”I turned away and said, “Go get dressed.”“Are you sure that’s your final decision?”“Very sure.” My rapidly beating heart settled down once his clothing was back on.“Are you ready to go?” he asked.“Let me go grab my clothes bag and my clutch and I will be.” Sam followed me into my office.“He looks hot!” she exclaimed. “He must really like you. I’ve never seen him dressed up before.”“Stop it,” I said, making sure my dress lay straight.“Forget about MM for the night,” she said to me with a serious expression. She pulled the tag off my jacket.“That’s not possible. Thanks for closing up and helping with the outfit.”“No problem.

An advocate of love and female empowerment, she is a facilitator for a women’s group.

Book Blurb/Synopsis – When city tycoon and part-time cowboy Alex Trask proposes to curvy Laura, she thinks he’s crazy.

EXTRACT:
Taking a deep breath, she opened the door.
Six feet of tall and lean met her eyes. His dark hair was cut in a short, flattering style, while his midnight eyes swept over her. Attired in a fancy pin-striped suit with a finely tailored navy shirt and pale blue silk tie, he looked every inch the billionaire.
A faint blush rose to her cheeks. After a long day catering a party, she’d changed into a pair of denim shorts and a lilac cotton shirt that clung to her ample hourglass figure. She was hardly dressed to come face-to-face with one of the city’s most prominent businessmen.
“My secretary forgot to post your check so I thought I’d come by myself,” he said smoothly, holding it out to her. “For the party last week,” he prompted, when she remained silent.Pull yourself together. Ever since she’d met him several days ago, she hadn’t been able to stop thinking about him. And now he was here, standing right in front of her.
She'd been in the middle of setting up for his event when she'd met him. Wearing her white chef jacket and gray trousers, she certainly hadn't expected to meet one of the city's most eligible bachelors. His secretary had handled all the details up to that point. She'd shyly stammered hello, aware of his fathomless eyes on her. Feeling hot and cold at the same time, she couldn't stop gazing at him, experiencing a tug of attraction to him that she'd never felt with any other man. But why had he focused all his attention on her? Hadn't he met a caterer before, even one with ample curves?
“Thank you.” She took the check from him, careful not to brush her fingers against his. Glancing at the amount, she noticed it was for the full sum. Relief swept through her. Now she’d be able to pay her employees. For the next month.
“Something wrong?” He studied the expression on her face.

Laura shook her head, summoning up a smile. “No. Everything’s fine.” She drew in a deep breath, raising her gaze to meet his. His straight nose, five o’clock shadow and the sharp planes of his face added up to one seriously good-looking man.
AUTHOR BIO: Jenn Roseton believes that romance and happy endings go together. When she’s not writing, she indulges in delicious gourmet chocolate. Although she’s spent time in Wyoming, unfortunately she didn’t meet a sexy cowboy of her own.

Genre New Adult/ Romantic SuspenseExpected Publication Date August 5th 2014 ExcerptI heard waves crashing as my nose caught the salty scent of the ocean. I rolled over to red rose petals scattered throughout the bed with a long stemmed one lying in the middle. Securing the sheet around me, I rested on my elbows before picking up the single rose. Ethan was on his side with his deep brown eyes on me. I twirled the rose and gave him a soft smile. He was without a shirt and propped on an elbow. His messy hair was wet with droplets of water dripping along his neck into the contours of his shoulders before sliding down his carved chest. The sunlight pouring in from the window made his body gleam. He always aroused me instantly, but staring at him now made him seem even more God-like and I wanted every part of him. “Did you take a shower without me? That has to be a first,” I speculated. Ethan reached over to tuck my hair behind my ears. His hand trailed down my side to rest on mine. “I got up at sunrise to catch some waves,” he clarified. “I didn’t know you surfed. I’m not surprised, since you like wakeboarding so much.” He brought our bodies so close that our chests were nearly touching. My heart sped up as he leaned over me with his hand clamped on my hip. “I surf, but you’re wrong about boarding. I don’t like it – I love it. Surfers get really pissy if boarders ruin their ride so I don’t wakeboard when I’m on the ocean. I settle for catching waves on a different board, but I don’t love it nearly as much.” I caught the passion in his eyes. Ethan loved doing anything on the water. My mouth twisted into an adoring grin as I stared at my magnificent boyfriend. “You taught me how to board. I suppose you can teach me how to surf too?” I offered. Ethan chuckled. “I’d love to. I’m not sure if we’ll have time on this trip. I’ll line up another one soon. We should go to Hawaii or Australia. If you’re going to learn, you might as well learn in one of the best surfing spots on the planet.” His hand veered from my hip down to my ass where he gently pinched me. Ethan licked his luscious lips with a hungry look in his eyes. I knew that look. My breaths started becoming shorter as I responded to his fingers traveling further down. Ethan hovered over me and pulled at my elbows so I dropped to my back. He took the rose out of my hand and set it on the nightstand before sliding down the sheet. His lips fell to my collarbone and water dripped from his hair into my cleavage. The coolness of it sizzled with the fire in me.

Excerpt: The Beginning of The End by Mindy Larson

An excerpt from Mindy Larson's Pre-Earth prequel, The Beginning of The End and its currently FREE!

As the nearly violent wind rakes through my hair, I can't help but turn back with wonder. The ghost of the SUV remains back at the light. I can't see them, but they've left behind not only their imprints of mistakes and terrible choices but a couple of their friends. When I whip back around, the road curves abruptly, forcing me to take the turn too fast. Even for me, it's much too fast. Gravity takes over and my bike leans. I try to pull it up but I can't barely budge it. The gravel is coming close. Too close. Closing my eyes, I wait. Em's face is all I see. Her pretty face. The way her liquid eyes meet mine. I hear her laugh. Her big joyfully laugh. Holding my breath, I wait to meet my fate and feel the impeding burn. My skin feels hot. Tingly. Gravel is spitting up allover and I can't see.
Shit.
The road blurs more and more. It's fast. It's slow. And both at the same time. My stomach clenches. It's like nothing I've ever experienced before. There's no denying it, I am a dead man.
But wait.
Wait.
Wait.
I am not going to die.
I am already dead.
-Logan
