Cover Design: Parajunkie
Scheduled to release: May 27, 2014
Goodreads

Everything in Cameron Enders’ life feels like a dream since she took a trip to a remote island where she met Tristan Michaels, Hollywood’s hottest man. Tristan never imagined that his get-away vacation would change his life and his heart.

But everything isn’t perfect in paradise once Cameron and Tristan return to Phoenix. When Cami discovers a dark secret, her dream becomes a living nightmare. She slips back into old habits, turning to alcohol to hide her pain. As the woman he loves becomes more a stranger by the day, Tristan’s world is rocked again. He’s a helpless witness to Cami’s self-destructive cycle – until she pushes too far, testing the limits of his love. Their love is far from perfect, but he will stop at nothing, chasing it all until she has everything she deserves.

Cami’s withdrawal could strengthen or destroy everything she hopes to have with Tristan. Can Cami trust him enough to give him everything or will she cling to her secrets and their pain, tearing them apart forever?

Teaser 
*subject to final edits

Cami is standing in the bathroom, at the mirror, she’s just finished with her hair, which of course looks beautiful, pulled over one shoulder and held back by a flower, similar to the one she wore in Tarah for one of our dates. Her beauty is something I can’t get over. It doesn’t matter if she has raccoon eyes, or if she is wearing no make-up at all, which doesn’t happen often. But tonight, I am more interested in the fact that all she has on right now is a black lace bra, matching panties, and lace top thigh-highs that are being held up by a matching garter belt.

Her panties leave very little to the imagination and I can’t help but stare hard at this beautiful girl. I sneak up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist, my hands gliding along her stomach and she melts into me.
“Hey beautiful.” I whisper in her exposed ear.
“Hey beautiful yourself.” She smiles at me in the mirror and our eyes meet. I love our little greeting ritual and it never seizes to warm my heart.
My hands continue to roam along her body, starting down at her thighs where her thigh-highs stop. Her skin is so soft and I can’t resist touching it.
“Behave yourself.”
I snort a laugh. “Never.” And I kiss her on her neck, just below her ear, the spot that always turns her to putty in my hands. 
“We have twenty minutes before we have to get out of here.”
“I can be quick.” I blurt out, my erection straining against my jeans.
“Not that quick.” She says and she turns to kiss me. But it is soft and quick. She knows better than to work me up, but sometimes I wonder if it works her up just as much. I can’t seem to stop my hand from roaming between her legs.
“See you’re already hot and wet for me.”
“I’m always hot and wet for you, but we don’t have time.” She kisses my cheek. “Now go, before we will be really late and I don’t want the nasty look from Beau, because she will know exactly why we’re late.”
I huff. “Fine, but you owe me.”

She turns so quick in my arms that it hardly registers until we are face to face. “Behave yourself and I will more than make it worth your while.” She promises and kisses me, then playfully pushes me away.
I like her promises of making it worth my while, it usually means that she will do something extra special for me when we get home, so I back away and let her finish getting ready. I head down to the kitchen and pour us both a small glass of chiraz and wait, impatiently for her to join me. I haven’t seen what else she plans on wearing tonight and I don’t really care. I am already starting to feel the ache in my balls and it is going to be a long, horny night.

Goodreads


CAMERON ENDERS seems to have it all: a brand new condo in a city she loves, a top executive position at an international entertainment firm, an insane amount of money, and a gorgeous boyfriend. But when Cami catches the boyfriend in the act with another woman, it triggers all the anguish from years of neglect by her parents, and she realizes she never learned how to love or be loved. Cami flees to the remote tropical island of Tarah, but she can’t avoid facing her problems any longer when she meets the man of her fantasies…

TRISTAN MICHAELS, one of Hollywood’s hottest new stars, has come to Tarah to ride out a storm. His girlfriend of five years has been caught on camera cheating, and she’s determined to make Tristan stop the story from breaking.

But Tristan’s done cleaning up her messes. He needs to escape all things Hollywood for a while–and especially the firm that represents him–until the whole thing blows over. What he doesn’t count on is meeting an irresistibly beautiful woman, a woman who just so happens to be the CEO of the firm he’s trying to avoid.

Can Tristan and Cami help each other learn to trust and love again, or will their histories of betrayal tear them apart?

Chasing Love’s Wings – Teaser #1

This is ONLY a Teaser – Subject to CHANGE at any time prior to publication. It is also unedited and RAW and cannot be held against me – Not yet. 

I ascend the stairs two at a time, climbing my way up until I reach the living level. I can here someone talking, then I hear a rather loud thump that sounds like a heavy bottle meeting the coffee table.

“… I never meant to hurt you, and I’m sorry for what I’ve put you through over the years, but I’m certain after you see what I’ve shown you, you can understand why…” There is a pause in the voice and something about it very familiar, but I can’t seem to put my finger on it. I come around the corner to see the back of Cami’s head, looking toward the blue screen of the tv. I watch momentarily as I see her bring a rather large wine glass to her lips, but the liquid is a dark amber color.

“Cams…” I say and she jumps and screams. I rush toward her, but I am too late and the glass she’s holding shatters all over the tile floor. “Don’t move.” I say as I come around the couch and realize quickly that she’s barefoot and it takes me only a minute to realize that she is still wearing the same clothes as when I left, on Tuesday. “Let me get a broom and some towels, please don’t move.”

“What the hell are you doing here?” She’s angry, but I’m not sure that her anger is directed at me.

“I finished early so I came…” I look at her then, in the light of the blue screen of the tv and her eyes are completely raccooned and she has streaks of black mascara running down her cheeks. “What is going on?”

She plops back down on the couch. “I’m drunk. Very drunk.” Her words slur horribly as she tells me all of this.

“I can tell.” I say as I walk toward the kitchen and the pantry where I know there is a broom and dustpan. I grab it, along with the roll of paper towels on the counter and go back into the living room. I flick on the side table light and she squints and covers her eyes. “I need to see to clean this up.” But I look to the floor and near the tv. This isn’t the first glass she’s shattered. On the wall on both sides of the tv there are stains dripping down to the floor and underneath those are piles of clear broken glass.

Jesus. “Cams, talk to me… what is going on?”

She doesn’t say anything, but lifts her arm, points it at the tv and suddenly, in sixty inch glory is the face and upper torso of none other than Robert “Bobby” Enders.

I’m taken aback by what I’m seeing, she presses another button and the image comes alive.

“Cami, I know this isn’t easy for you to watch and I’m sorry that it had to come to you this way, but it is the only way I thought I could get you to listen to what I had to say. I never meant to hurt you, and I’m sorry for what I’ve put you through over the years, but I’m certain after you see what I’ve shown you, you can understand why…” Bobby’s image freezes on the screen again.

There are not words for what I can even try to say to comfort her and I can hear her sobbing on the couch, so I forgo the clean up and go to the couch to sit down next to her. I’m wearing boots and the glass crunches further beneath my feet. “He’s apologizing to you, is that why you’re so upset, because it came in video form and not from him?” I ask her and she vigorously shakes her head.

“Look.” She says and points to the tv. I look but all I can see is Bobby on the screen and then it registers what she’s pointing at.. Down in the bottom right hand corner is the running time of the video, along with a date and time stamp.

Vivienne Callahan has known only hardship. As if growing up with an alcoholic, drug addicted mother wasn’t traumatic enough, she’s escaped from her physically and verbally abusive boyfriend only to struggle every day to make ends meet as a waitress in a Minneapolis diner.

 

Along comes Mikah Blake, a handsome stranger who quickly takes an unexpected and persistent interest in her. On the surface, “Mr. Suit” seems to be Vivienne’s opposite: rich, well-fed, successful. As Vivienne will learn, Mikah is more than he seems, and for reasons unknown, he’s determined to be her knight in shining armor. But after having finally found her own two feet after years of abuse, it’s difficult for her to accept Mikah’s help.

Will her body’s unexpected response to Mikah’s touch be reason enough to overcome her pride and traumatic past and learn to love and trust? Or will her past, refusing to be left behind, come back to claim her?
