NewlyExposedAdam James is a corn-fed, Nebraska raised, piece of man meat with a chiseled body and baby face. He is in desperate need of a paycheck and will do just about anything to get one, including stripping down to his skivvies and lathering up in baby oil.


Solo Cohan is a quirky hipster with a strong work ethic,raised by two gay dads who are head over heels in love with Harrison Ford and Star Wars, hence the name, Solo. She works for Teeg Model Management, the same modeling agency that decides to book Adam as their next up and coming model. Sparks ignite between her and Adam the minute her baby oil soaked hand connects with his practically naked body.


Even though Solo can’t stop thinking about Adam during photo shoots, she quickly and awkwardly, shows Adam her distaste for male models and her inability to engage romantically with them. Adam is captivated by her nerdy talk and peculiar tendencies and sets out to make it his mission to turn the Star Wars loving hipster to the dark side, where mingling with models is widely arousing.

00Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.


Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.


Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

*Subject to change before publishing* Unedited version*
Chapter One ~ Grace


I sat in the library as I rolled my neck around and let out a sigh. My mind had been pre occupied and I couldn’t afford to not be focused. I’d fallen behind in my classes when Lauren got sick.


Glancing back down at my book, I tried to read the words on the pages but my mind quickly drifted off to a memory of Noah and me.


***


Sitting back, I let the sun warm my face as Noah rowed the canoe.


 


“So are you going to just sit there while I do all the work, Grace?” Noah asked in a teasing voice.


 


“Yep,” I said with a smile.


 


Keeping my eyes closed, I could tell he had turned directions. Trying not to smile, I asked, “Are you getting tired, Noah? Was last night to much for you?”


 


Noah chuckled. It was the first night I’d stayed over at his apartment he shared with one other guy who also attended A&M. I wasn’t sure why I was keeping how close Noah and I were getting away from everyone. Maybe it was my way of keeping this relationship distant from my real world. That or I didn’t feel like answering Alex, Lauren, and Libby’s constant questions.


 


Whatever my reasons were, I pushed it from my mind.


 


“Baby, you could never be to much.”


 


Opening my eyes, I tilted my head and gave Noah a sexy smile. As hard as I tried to keep from falling in love with him, I fell deeper every moment we spent together.


 


“Is that a challenge?” I asked as I leaned forward, making sure to squeeze my arms together so my breasts showed just the right amount of cleavage since I only had a tank top over my swimsuit.


 


Lifting his eyebrows, Noah glanced over to the shore. When I looked over my shoulder, there was a small path. Noah paddled us over and jumped out. Reaching his hand out for mine, I placed it softly in his. The rush I got just from his touch about caused me to let out a moan. Stepping up onto the shore, I watched as Noah pulled the canoe up and grabbed my hand.


 


Leading me down the path, he pushed me against a tree and smiled at me.


 


“That is indeed a challenge. Let’s see if you can keep up with me now, Grace.”


 


My heart dropped to my stomach as I fought back those three words.


 


Lifting me up, Noah pushed his hard dick into me as I gasped. Desire pulled in my lower stomach and I was ready for anything Noah was going to give me.


 


Except for the three little words he was clearly not afraid to say.


 


“I love you, Grace.”


 


My mouth parted open slightly as I whispered back, “I love you too, Noah.”


 


***


 


My phone buzzed on the table, pulling me from my memory. Glancing down, I saw it was Alex.


 


Alex: Hey. I’m finished with classes today. Want to go grab some food?


 


Me: Where’s your hubby?


 


Alex: Sleeping. We both have been trying to get caught up on classes.


 


Letting out a laugh, I nodded my head at my phone.


 


Me: I love Lauren, but she screwed this semester up!


 


Alex: Right? So food or not? I’m starving and my baby wants food.


 


Me: I’ll meet you at Fuego’s.


 


Alex: Yes! I was hoping you’d say that. See you there in a few.


 


Smiling, I stood and gathered up my books. Turning to head out of the library, I came face to face with Doug Richards.


 


“Hey, Grace.”


 


My eyes traveled over his body as I suppressed the moan I wanted to let out. Damn he was fine as hell and it had been to long since I’d had sex. My mind had been filled with memories of Noah and I was horny as hell.


 


 


Pushing all thoughts of Noah away, I smiled as I quickly gave my lower lip a seductive bite and purred, “Hey, Doug.”


 


Doug’s eyes lit up. I’d always been friendly with Doug, but this was the first time I’d ever put a little bit of something more into my normal Oh hey Doug how’s it going.


 


Seeing Noah at the hospital with his new wife only proved to me that I needed to move on. I couldn’t shake the way Noah had looked at me though. I swear I saw the same look in his eye as I saw the first night he made love to me. Actually, the first time he ever looked at me I saw the passion.


 


“Plans for tonight?” Doug asked as he ran his fingers lightly up and down my arm. My body shook with the idea of being with someone. I needed a good hard fuck to pull me out of this funk. What would one mindless one-night stand do?


 


It would at least ease the throb between my legs. I’d gone through to many vibrators. I was ready for the real thing.


 


Licking my lips, I winked. “I believe you’re picking me up around eight? Taking me to dinner and then a little bit of … dessert afterwards.”


 


The smile that spread across Doug’s face caused me to smile. “I like that plan.”


 


My eyes roomed his body as they landed on his lips. Hopefully he was a good kisser. He had big shoes to fill.


 


Reaching into my purse, I took out a pen and grabbed Doug’s arm as I wrote down my address. “See ya at eight handsome.”


 


The second I turned to walk away I wanted to spin around and tell him to forget it. That I forgot I had plans with a friend. Worry my lip, I continued to walk toward the exit door.


 


No, Grace. It’s time to move on. What I needed was one evening of pure fun and Doug was the one who was going to provide it. Noah was married and I needed to stop feeling sorry for myself. What we had shared was amazing and I let it spoke me. I pushed away the only man I’d ever truly loved.


 


It was time to move on.


 


Tonight I was getting laid.


 


***


 


“What do you mean you have a date?” Alex asked with a stunned look on her face.


 


I took a bit of my taco and shrugged my shoulders. “You know, Alex. That thing you do when you’re single and haven’t had normal sex in I don’t know how long. Even my vibrator wants me out of the house.”


 


Alex giggled as she quickly looked around. “You’re terrible, Grace Hope Johnson.”


 


Shrugging my shoulders, I said, “Hey, you’re getting dick every night. I wonder if I should get a Brazilian wax?”


 


Laughing, Alex shook her head. “That was random as hell.”


 


“I just got to thinking, I think I want my hoo-ha to smooth for tonight.”


 


Alex started choking on her taco. “What? Grace, you can’t do that today and then have sex tonight?”


 


Pulling my head back in a shocked expression, I asked, “Why not?”


 


“Have you ever had anything waxed on your body before?”


 


Tilting my head, I thought about it. “Nope, I can’t say that I have.”


 


Leaning in toward the table, Alex motioned for me to come closer. “Grace, it hurts like hell to get waxed for the first time. I don’t think you want your hoo-ha to be tortured before you dive back into the whole sex thing again. I mean I get the whole, I just want mindless sex thing, but do you really want to mistreat her like that all in one day?”


 


About to state my case, I heard someone clear her throat. Alex and I both turned to see a mom staring at us with her daughter sitting there with her mouth dropped to the table. Smiling, I said, “I’m not going to have mindless sex tonight … well actually I am but I always use protection and… ouch!” I called out as I felt a stabbing pain in my shin from where Alex kicked me. Turning back to her, I yelled, “What the hell, Alex?”


 


Alex eyes were widened as she shook her head. “Grace, stop talking.”


 


The mother stood and motioned for her daughter to follow as Alex sat back and moaned, “Great, some mother I’m going to be.”


 


Letting out a laugh, I shook my head and said, “You’re going to be a kick ass mother. Just like Ellie. Hey, so we never really got to talk about how your parents and Will’s parents reacted to the big baby news.”


 


Alex, shrugged her shoulders. “I think they were all in shock. My father biggest worry was school. I’m so glad we’re all graduating this December.”


 


Taking a bite of my taco, I nodded my head. “Yeah, I’m glad too.” After swallowing the taco, I worried my bottom lip. I had been trying to figure out how to ask Alex if she had changed her mind about our plans.


 


Alex reached across the table and took my hand in her hand. “The baby doesn’t change anything, Grace. I want to still follow our dream of opening up Wild Flower. We’ve been dreaming of opening a flower nursery for years. Nothing is going to change that.”


 


I instantly felt my body relax. Our whole focus throughout school had been to open a nursery between Fredericksburg and Mason. The news of Alex having a baby had scared the piss out of me. Smiling, I said, “I’m not going to lie, I thought I might be doing this on my own and I was scared as hell.”


 


Letting out a chuckle, Alex shook her head. “No way. Will and I have already talked about it. I fully intend on pursuing our dream, Grace.” Shrugging her shoulders, she said, “Besides, we will own the place! I can bring the baby. She learn to dig in the dirt probably before she learns to walk.”


 


Sitting up straighter, I let out a gasp. “Oh my gosh! We can build a little baby nursery besides your office. I mean, I’m sure y’all will have more kids in the future. I bet my dad or your dad could easily add that into the design. Move that storage space somewhere else.”


 


Alex’s eyes lit up as she nodded her head. “Grace, that’s a great idea! This will be perfect for both of us.”


 


Narrowing my eyes, I let out a confused chuckle. “How is a baby room perfect for me?”


 


Giving me a sly smile, Alex said, “For when you have kids.”


 


Nearly choking on my tea, I held up my hands. “Whoa! Whoa! Holy hell woman! Don’t even speak such words. This girl has no plans for kids in the near future. Fuck, I’m not even having sex and the last time I checked … you can’t get knocked up from a vibrator.”


 


Alex looked around as she put her finger up to her lips. “Why do you have to talk so loud?”


 


“Why do you have to say such things? My God! There is already something in the water with you and Libby both getting pregnant. I’m sure Lauren is probably going to be announcing something in the next few months. Well … no thank you. I’m not having kids any time soon.”


 


Alex’s eyes looked sad. “Grace, do you not want kids?”


 


My heart instantly hurt as I plastered on a fake smile. “Someday I’m sure I’ll want kids. Right now it is the furthest thing from my mind. All I want right now, Alex, is to move on and have a good time.”


 


“Grace, I talked to Noah the day Lauren got out of the hospital. He desperately needs to talk to you.”


 


Swallowing hard, I fought to hold back my tears. “W-what did he say?”


 


Shaking her head, Alex said, “He asked how Lauren was and then for your number. I gave it to him. He said he needed to talk to you.”


 


Feeling my entire body start shaking, I quickly stood up. “Why would you give him my phone number, Alex? He’s married for Christ’s sake! Besides, it’s been over two weeks since Lauren left the hospital. He must not be that desperate to talk to me. Damn it, Alex. Why did you give him my number?”


 


Alex motioned for me to sit down. “Grace, just give me one second to explain.”


 


Grabbing my food and drink, I glared at Alex. “I have to go, I have to head home and grab a book a forgot and head to class.”


 


“Grace! Let me finish talking!” Alex called out.


 


Racing to the door, I pushed it open and quickly dragged in the fresh air. Glancing at my watch, I sighed. I was going to be late for class now. Quickly making my way to my car, my phone buzzed. Pulling it out of my purse, I saw it was Alex.


 


Alex: I didn’t mean to upset you. It’s just he seemed desperate. You really need to talk to him, Grace.


 


Rolling my eyes, I threw my purse and phone onto the passenger seat and headed back to the house I shared with Alex and Will. Now that Luke, Libby, Lauren, and Colt had moved out it seemed cold and empty all the time. Even when they did live there, I spent more time at Noah’s place than I did at home. Well, at least I did until I freaked out and pushed him away.


 


Wiping my tears away, I concentrated on thinking about nothing but my date tonight with Doug. I’ll deal with Alex later. Right now I needed to push Noah Bennet far from my memory. I needed to move on and this date tonight was long over due.

Exclusive Excerpt:


“Do you enjoy the view?” King Edric asked.


“The rains have made the gardens bloom, and it warms my heart to see it so.”


“It is good to know that the gardener approves of the work.”


Cyrene laughed lightly. “I have not gardened in a month’s time. I fear I can no longer call myself a gardener.”


She remembered when she had told the king of her interest in gardening at the last feast day almost a week ago. After that dance, Queen Kaliana added a list of plants to her assignment, forcing her to reread every page she had already dredged through for information. It had wasted two entire days.


“Perhaps I could change that,” he offered.


He directed her down the staircase and into the courtyard below lit solely by the setting sun in the distance.


Her stomach churned at the thought of him offering assistance to any of her needs. It was like what she had read in her children’s books of the tales of Leifs, and how one request would be necessitated by a much larger sacrifice. Her biggest sacrifice at the present moment was time. She wanted nothing more than to finish her work on agriculture and prove that she could get moved somewhere that involved traveling…and adventure.


“On the contrary, My King, I am fully enthralled in my Affiliate duties, and believe that gardening would only distract me from my work.”


“You cannot spare one afternoon to spend in my gardens?” His blue-gray eyes searched her face. “If you have half the green thumb you suggest, then it would be delightful to have you on the grounds.”


She swallowed. “I really have much work to accomplish before we go on Processional.”


“I could speak to the Queen and request it be lessened,” he whispered into the evening air.


“No!” It was the first time he had ever admitted to discussing her with the Queen. Hearing him admit it aloud made her voice come out strangled.


Cyrene missed her footing on the pebble path and stumbled forward a pace. Edric steadied her. He turned his body to face her in the middle of the garden, and her breath caught at the sight of him in the setting sun.


“You do not wish me to speak to the Queen?”


“I spoke out of turn. Please forgive me.”


“I cannot forgive that which I do not understand. Did the Queen somehow offend you?”


Cyrene shook her head. “I fear that the Queen does not…like me.”


Edric laughed softly, taking one of her hands in his own. “Oh Cyrene, I believe that the Queen likes no one but herself.”


Cyrene found that she, too, could laugh at his comment.


“Now, tell me what the Queen has done to make you believe that she dislikes you.”


“It’s nothing, my King.” She turned her face away from his. She couldn’t possibly tell him the real reason.


“Enough to infuriate you, which is enough for me.”


When she looked back up into his blue-gray eyes she felt that same magnetic pull between them. Somehow she had not realized how close they were standing. His hand felt warm against her bare skin. His body only a few inches away from her. His breath hot on her face. Her heart contracted in her chest, and she forced herself to respond.


“She speaks of…of your interference, as if…as if you…”


Time stretched between them, and she thought for a split second he might move even closer to her. She was rooted in place, captivated by his gaze.


“Yes?” His other hand drifted to her waist, and she was suddenly on fire.


Their breath mingled together as she murmured, “As if you favor me.”


“And do you think that?”


“I…”


“Yes?” he asked, stepping closer.


“I think you have your queen,” she breathed.

Life is full of choices: good, bad, and ones you can’t control.
Raegan strives to be perfect in every way. Varsity cheerleader, honor student, and proud granddaughter of Dover Lowery. By day, Raegan is an over-achieving high school student, but at three o’clock, her real work begins.
What happens when appearances are not what they seem? Will Raegan be able to hold on to her life as she knows it, or will she be left all alone?
All of these questions are answered with one night, one song, one story, and one boy.





“Casey brings her undeniable exuberance for life to her passion for coming of age stories where she weaves charming and believable stories of love, country music, and small town life.”
~EMI Recording Artist Kelleigh Bannen

Synopsis


(Mature Content)

 



Miranda

 



I was always the life of the party, the happy one.

Until Preston killed my soul.

When he came into my life, he destroyed me. I was a shell of my former self, pretending to be fine while wishing I wouldn’t wake up the next day. I never dreamed my best friend would come back into my life…and bring Brad Nicholson with her.

I never dreamed the homicide detective with the cocky attitude could show me my worth again. He could show me that my life could be amazing every day.

Until the day he found out about my past with Preston. Then, I was sure he’d see the real Miranda and ditch me for good.

Brad


From a young age, I made a decision.

I knew what I wanted to do with my life and from that point on, my work molded me. Everything became routine. Casual. Until Mackenzie walked into my life, bringing her best friend, Miranda, with her.

From the first moment I saw Miranda, I knew she could be someone special. I didn’t have time for relationships, but she was different. She was a piece of the puzzle that could be missing. But she was broken, I could see that. And all I wanted to do was turn her into the girl I knew she really was beneath her perfectly placed mask.

Excerpt

 





I turned and exited the vehicle, almost sprinting to my door. I couldn’t get away from him and my shame fast enough. Once inside, I padded down the hall to my bedroom, a part of me breaking with each step.


I tossed my purse on the floor and threw the covers back before falling into my bed. I clutched the covers and brought them up to my chin as the silent tears fell. Preston was right—I was stupid and pathetic. Why would anyone want me?


I was an addict.


I allowed someone to abuse me for drugs.


Everything that had happened was on me.


It was my penance to pay.


And I would always be paying.


I cried myself to sleep that night and stayed there most of the next day.


I was nothing. Absolutely nothing. I asked myself why I hadn’t given up. Wondered why I hadn’t cut myself open completely and let the vile inside of me bleed out along with my life.

The best birthday present ever!


How many of you have one gift you’ve gotten over the years that you never forget? What was it? A Southern Fried Chics dress, a new pair of boots, or even the lastest iPhone? Or have you ever gotten sometime bigger and not materialistic?


For me, it’s what I received on my birthday in 2013 that will is the most memorable. See for me, my life had begun to change. I no longer was just a high school special education teacher, but I was also an aspiring author. Not many people in my small town knew I was publishing a book within the next month, but one man believed in me from the moment I was born. That was my Pawpaw Dover, and on my birthday in 2013 he gained his angel wings.


I know most of you are like what in the world, but for me that was the most precious present I could have received. Let me give you a little insight into that day. Below is a note for readers at the end of Southern Perfection. It was published one year later.


A Note from Casey Peeler


On my birthday, August 23, 2013, my world was rocked. I lost one of the most influential men in my life, my pawpaw. From the day I was born on August 23, 1981, until the day he passed, August 23, 2013, I believed the sun set in him, just as he did me. See, I was “his girl,” but I was also his caregiver in the final days. He has been one of my biggest supporters on this journey as an author, but yet, he didn’t get to see me hit Publish.
     Halfway through the Full Circle Series, I knew Southern Perfection would have to be written, but honestly, until the words were written on the pages, I never knew the impact it would have on my soul.
     Southern Perfection isn’t just a good ol’ country romance. It’s a story of family, taking the good with the bad, always being positive in life regardless the situation, and becoming the person you are destined to become while your loved ones look down and smile upon you each day.
     I hope and pray that every one of you that reads this novel has a Sunshine in your life, because even though mine is no longer with me physically, he still continues to shine through me each day.

Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000038_00066]


Each of us have memories that stands out in our lives. For me, this day was a blessing and honor. It’s another memory that I will hold dear. So, as we celebrate the “birthday” of the United States independence find a memory to hold close to your heart and take time to hold onto the ones you love!

Oh! How I <3 Dallas! #LovingDallas @CaiseyQuinn

bs-Loving LovingDallasPB_updated


SYNOPSIS:


In the second novel in bestselling author Caisey Quinn’s Neon Dreams series, a country rock band and its members embark on the rocky road to fame and find love along the way.


Dallas Lark is so close to achieving his dream of making it big in country music that he can taste it. Arriving in Nashville after signing with sexy, successful manager Mandy Lantram, his life goes from tragedy and turmoil to one lucky break after another—except it isn’t really luck because Dallas has sacrificed everything for his career, leaving behind his band, sister, best friend, and high school sweetheart, Robyn, in the pursuit of fame.


Robyn Breeland is a successful marketing coordinator and promotions specialist for a thriving liquor distributor out of Texas. She loves every aspect of her job: coming up with new ideas, traveling, hosting promotional parties and exclusive events—until it brings her face-to-face with the man who broke her heart, prompting her to erect a steel cage around it.


When their paths collide and they’re forced to work together, Dallas and Robyn realize that the old spark they thought they’d extinguished might still be a burning flame.


Casey’s Thoughts


I fell in love with Caisey Quinn’s writing style with Girl with Guitar.  Each and every book she writes draws me in and makes me fall in love with her characters.  Loving Dallas is no exception.


Loving Dallas is the story of Dallas Lark post Leaving Amarillo.  When he decided to go solo to Nashville, I have to say I wasn’t so sure about it, but in life and books everything has a reason.  Little did I know how his past would meet his present.


Loving Dallas will have you cheering Dallas on as he takes the stage like the country music hottie he is, but you will also see the “real” Dallas shine through.


I absolutely loved Jase Wade, and I couldn’t help categorize him with one of my favorite country music stars that kinda broke my heart with his personal issues.  BUT I believe this character and his past impacted Dallas’ future in a good way. In fact, it made me transformed me into the biggest Jase Wade fan.


Loving Dallas is a story of stardom, but also what you leave behind as well as the choices the make about your future.  If you a person with a heart for country music, a cutie shaking it on the stage, but more importantly a girl who believes that dreams do come true then Loving Dallas is for you!

Excerpt


“Tell me what you’ve sacrificed. I want to know,” Dallas says evenly, completely unfazed by my obvious psychotic break. “Because I know a thing or two about sacrifice myself. But I can tell you this much, I would never sacrifice my dignity and I sure as hell didn’t get where I am on my back or by putting anyone else on theirs.”


What the hell?


“Excuse me?”


“Mandy. She’s my manager. Our relationship is strictly professional, and it will stay that way, regardless of what her intentions may or may not be.”


“Okay.” I don’t want to feel relieved. I shouldn’t care. But my tightly wound nerves loosen a fraction.


“Your turn,” he informs me, folding his muscular arms over his broad chest.


“My turn for what?”


“To tell me if you’re fucking Wade! If that’s how you got on this tour, I want you to end it. He’s a grade A piece of shit who doesn’t give a damn who he—”


Dallas doesn’t get to finish his sentence.


Because I slap him. Hard. So hard my hand is still stinging.


Our faces must be matching masks of shock and I see the replay in slow motion. I’ve never struck another human being in my entire life. And I just slapped the only man I’ve ever loved with everything I was worth.


“If you ever, ever, even think to insinuate that I got where I am on my back, I swear to God, Dallas Lark, I will make that seem like a love tap.”


I am so immensely infuriated that everything in my line of sight is tinged in red. But more than that, I’m hurt. Hurt that someone I once cared so much for, and still care about more than I’d like to admit, would think that of me. Stitched-up lacerations on my heart that were on their way to being pretty pink scars are opening wide and angry. He didn’t invite me here for pancakes to catch up or spend time with me or figure out how to work together or even attempt to make amends. Nope. He’s just jealous and arrogant and a raging asshole.


“I didn’t mean to insinuate that—”


“Get the hell away from me.” I whirl around and step right into a fresh puddle. Great. Wonderful.


“No,” Dallas says, pulling me toward him and catching me off guard. “I need you to hear me out.”


“What’s to hear? You’re an arrogant ass and I hate you.”


He gives me an infuriating smirk. “No you don’t. If that were true, you wouldn’t be this pissed.”


I struggle to find a reasonable argument to this so I say, “Fuck you, Dallas.”


“Yes, please. Come back to the hotel with me. The car service is already here.” I yank out of his grasp, causing a painful friction between our skin.


“Ouch.”


He pulls me to his chest and my anger is fading, too diluted by his scent and his intensity.


“I’m sorry, baby. I’m so damn sorry,” is all he says before kissing me brutally on the mouth. Mine pops open in shock when he pulls back to breathe. His gaze presses into mine as my mind tumbles over itself trying to process the abrupt turn of events. His thumb grazes my cheek gently. “I never meant to hurt you,” he says before devouring me again.


And Lord help me, I don’t even know which thing he’s apologizing for—the past or the present—because I’m melting. The rain, his fiery hot mouth, his hands scorching a trail over my body. I’m drowning in Dallas and I can’t stop.


Worse, I don’t even want to.
