Williamson: I'm a happily married family man from the North of England, UK.I like the feeling a good book gives me. I like to feel emotionally attached to the characters, I want to live their lives, I want to worry about them, laugh with them, cry with them, celebrate their achievements with them, love them, hate them, but most importantly, I want to feel something, anything.I hope you enjoy my writing style and come away from my books feeling something! Phoebe Parkes: After I got over the rejection of not becoming a Bond girl, I set my goals a little lower in the world of fast cars, sexy men and bank accounts that match their crotch sizes - yes, HUGE. I decided it was about time that all these glorious characters that I dream up needed to be brought to life. So Bond's loss is my gain, because I don't just get stuck with one 007 I get as many as I want and I can have them as gorgeous as I want them, as sexy as they deserve or sometimes even dark and disturbing but still ultimately phoaar. (Hopefully ☺)I mean come on, who the heck really needs to 'bond' with Bond eh when you can dream up a whole cast of hot, muscled, sun-kissed, drop dead gorgeous males! When you can have men that all fall at your feet, worship your creative mind... lust after your curves and swoon at your utter gorgeousness... Yeah, that doesn't happen either, well not on the scale you're imagining anyway, wink-wink.So, this is me, armed and dangerous, my mind honed and poised and ready with enough ammo to bring a horde of sexy mayhem. The stories in my head are finally being let loose. I apologise in advance for any loss of control, hernias or sheer frustration caused as a result of my imagination. Any legal action, (which would be completely unwarranted), should be taken up with the person who was the Bond Girl dream wrecker, in other words, it really isn't my fault so my conscience is clear. ;-)Finally shutting up (yes me) and leaving you with a more serious thought, please sit back, relax and enjoy my over-indulgent brain cells as they go into over-drive to bring you some British shenanigans, done the Phoebe Parkes way. Enjoy ☺ Amazon US ~ Goodreads

Blurb Damien:
I am Damien Cole. Manager of Dallas’ Top Tattoo Shop “The Boneyard.”
I play the game by my own set of rules. I discard women left and right.
Their only purpose is to cater to my sexual appetite. No woman will ever
tame my bad boy ways. I am at the top of my game.Summer:
I am Summer Montgomery. My face has graced magazine covers all across the world. My looks will deceive you. I am a bad girl with a smart ass mouth and the attitude to back it up. Playing with me is like playing with fire. I will consume
you and swallow you whole.When faced with temptation, which of these two badasses will fall first? 

Excerpt #1The cockiness of her is enough to push me over the edge. I snatch her up and toss her over my lap as she giggles in response. She has clearly baited me and I admittedly walked into yet another trap. She enjoys the power that she wields over me.My hand comes down hard to crack against the smooth skin of her bare ass. She laughs. My cock throbs. I hand out another spanking as I watch the slight pink begin to spread and glow across her perfect bottom. This time she barely flinches. Her giggle sends jolts of electricity sparking straight to my cock.“Is that all you've got? Geesh, you really do need some lessons.” she challenges as she props her ass up in the air higher. As my hand comes down again and meets the bottom of her ass. I suddenly feel the wet liquid begin to soak my lap.“You are one fucked up little piece of heaven.” My head rears back as the laughter bursts from my lungs. I love the way her body responds to me. The way she not only matches me but supersedes me.Excerpt #2I order a shot and after downing that, order another drink, this one a cherry amaretto sour. I am sipping on my drink and texting Michelle when I am bumped from behind. My drink goes all over me, drenching me and my phone. The asshole doesn't even say excuse me or bother to apologize. Maybe it is the alcohol or it could be the sexual tension that has me wound tighter than a whore in church, but I am fucking pissed.“Hey Asshole!” I shout over the loud techno music that reverberates through the club. “At least look where you are going dick face.”“Excuse me? Did your mother teach you to talk with that fucking mouth bitch?” The arrogant asshole slurs. He is so drunk his speech is littered with spit. Total lack of respect.“What the hell is going on over here? You okay Summer?” Damien and his crew line up around the asshole stranger. Typical Damien to try to come to the rescue. Someone needs to let him know I do not need to be rescued like some little whimpering twit who can't defend herself. I got this shit. I know how to handle assholes better than most. I tap the bar and order another drink from the bartender.“Well this asshole not only bumps into me and spills my drink all over me, he ruins my phone and doesn't have the fucking balls to at least apologize.”The asshole steps towards me. “I can show you how big my fucking balls are bitch if you want to drop to your knees.” He grabs his cock through his jeans and starts to shake it at me. Fucking prick.I grab the newly mixed drink in front of me and stand up from the barstool. I take a sip and pull the straw out of the glass nonchalantly. Before he can see it coming, I throw the drink in the asshole's face. While he is busy sputtering, the sound of my hand resonating against the side of his face makes jaws drop as the guys watch on in half disbelief and half amazement. I do not give this dick face the chance to say anything before I finish getting my point across.I reach down and with a steeled grip I grab the strangers cock and squeeze my hand around him so hard his body leans in to me to relieve some of the pressure.“Let's get a few things straight. Number one. If you bump a lady, you say excuse me. It's called fucking manners. Number two. You do not call a lady a bitch. And Number three. If you ever shake your pathetic little excuse of a cock at me again, which by the way, feels more like a wet fucking Vienna sausage, I will make sure that you never have children in this lifetime. Do you feel like we have a much better understanding of one another now?” I ask reinforcing my tight grip on him. He shakes his head, his face mangled with pain, to nod yes.

A Risky Dance series by Monika Summerville

A RISKY DANCE SERIESMONIKA SUMMERVILLE
A RISKY DANCEAdult Romance with a little BDSMEDITOR: Siren BookstrandCOVER DESIGNER: Christine Kirchoff [Siren Allure: Erotic Consensual BDSM Romance, sex toys, HEA] Riley Frost is an attorney. He played in the BDSM community as a Dom and liked to be in control. He'd never found a woman with a sense of adventure and passion, until one night when he walked into a bar and... Sophie Pantagen is the vice-president of her father's company, Pantagen Industries. For the past ten years she's spent a couple evenings a month having one-offs with men whose names she never new. That was until one night in a bar when Riley and Sophie find each other at a time when both are looking for something. They're not sure what it is they want, but think they may have found it. Sophie's father is a cut-throat business man and when he thinks Sophie tells company secrets he comes after her with vengeance. Pantagen Industries begins to fall apart. Sophie is fired from her position and threatened by her father with an Edgar Allen Poe nightmare result. ** A Siren Erotic Romance

Riley Frost walked through the front door at Fellow’s Bar and Grill and, Ben, the bartender, waved. He nodded and sat down on a barstool at the end. The room wasn’t overly crowed and there were enough women in the place that he thought he’d come out on top. He hoped to find a nice curvy woman to curl up with for the night. The noise and laughter helped bring his tension down a notch. Ben walked to his end and set a glass of Loch Lomand single-malt-whiskey in front of him. It was Riley’s favorite and the bar kept it stocked for him.“My headache thanks you, Ben.” He accepted the glass.“Steven should be back from a break shortly, Mr. Frost. Care for a game of chess?” the bartender asked. “It would give me a chance to win back some of my losses from last month.”“Perhaps. I’m a little on the prowl tonight. Is it too late to get a pulled pork sandwich or something?”“I’ll see what I can do.”Riley nodded, picked up his glass and a newspaper off the end of the bar, and walked over to an empty table. Ben came out from behind the bar. “We can do the sandwich. Chef wants to know if you want coleslaw, chips, or fries?”“Chips are fine. There’s no need to heat up the fryer.”“Good.” Ben smiled and went back to the kitchen.Riley read through the headlines on the front page of the paper and then heard the front door open. A woman about five-foot-ten walked in and went straight to the bar. He did a double take and found it hard to take his eyes off of her.She wore an emerald green, mini-tank dress that had lace in all the right places. It hugged her hips tightly and when she turned to the bar, he saw it had no back. The sides were cut low under her arms and the curve of her breasts showed just enough. Her long, brown hair would slide side to side when she moved and he thought he saw a scar on the middle of her back. Her legs alone caused Riley’s cock to stir and he thought he may have found his catch for the night.An older man with dark-graying hair walked up to her. Riley almost started to crack up laughing. The guy wore his hair in a fluffy 80s style cut and had a walrus mustache. The woman smiled and spoke with him. The man put his hand on her arm and she peeled it off and shook her head.“Woo...turn down, dude. Things are looking very good,” Riley said to himself, and took a sip of his whiskey.Ben brought his sandwich over and set the plate down on the table. Riley stopped him from leaving.“The woman at the bar, dead center, with the green dress and brown hair, what can you tell me?”The bartender looked over his shoulder and nodded. “She is gorgeous, but I think she may be a professional.”“Really?” Riley felt a bit surprised. She looked too classy to be a hooker. “I don’t know it for a fact, but she comes in here every other week or so and never leaves alone.”“Good, her drink’s on me, Ben.” He’d never seen her before and he spent a lot of time at Fellow’s.“I’ll see to it. She’s a single-malt woman. May I give her some of the Lomand?”“Very good idea.” Riley nodded and started to eat his food.He saw Ben walk behind the bar and prepare the drink. The woman still spoke to the 80s throw back. The bartender put the drink in front of her and pointed toward Riley. She looked over her shoulder just as he slid a potato chip into his mouth. Her eyebrow arched and she turned back to Ben and pushed the glass back at him. They exchanged a few words and the woman picked up the drink and walked toward Riley.She set the glass down and leaned over with her hand on the table. Riley had a perfect view of the tops of her breasts and he almost lost his breath.“I don’t accept drinks from strangers, but thank you.” She straightened up.“Why don’t you have a seat? I’m Riley Frost, now we’re not strangers anymore.”She stared at him for a moment with Caramel colored eyes and then turned back to the bar. He admired her rear and his cock became hard as a rock, it wanted her so much. She is mine, he thought. As she slid onto a stool, she motioned for Ben to bring another drink.The other man sat next to her and continued to make his moves. He tried to put his hand on her thigh and she moved it.Riley stood, finished his drink, and pulled his wallet out of his back pocket. He took a bill out and picked up the full glass of whiskey she’d left on his table. On her left side, he moved between her and Mr. Walrus Mustache, to crowd the guy away from her. Riley put the cold glass against her bare back.She sat up, leaned into his hand, and looked at him over her shoulder. Riley didn’t look back, but flagged Ben. He handed the bartender a one-hundred dollar bill and then leaned toward the woman.He moved his lips to a millimeter from hers and whispered, “The Loch Lomand is a thousand times better than that swill you’ve got. Have a lovely evening.” He brushed his lips over hers and let his hand slide over her breast as he set the drink in front of her. Her nipple felt hard as a bullet. He smiled and started toward the door.Oh yeah, I give her less than five minutes. She’s mine, he thought. He went out the door, turned left and stood at the corner of the building. Amazon Kindle ~ Siren Books ~ B&N ~ Goodreads A LOST DANCEAdult RomanceEDITOR: Siren BookstrandCOVER DESIGNER: Christine Kirchoff Turner Black works for a group in Seattle that helps find people who were separated from loved ones for one reason or another. He’s hired to find the half-sister of a man, Stewart Tarver. Their shared father has passed away and left the half-sister part of a large inheritance.Turner finds Rae Smith. She works as a stripper at a dance club in Tracy, California. She always wanted to be a ballet dancer, but the death of her mother took that dream away and Rae started to strip when she turned eighteen years of age. From one club to another, she is happy to just survive.Turner and Rae are drawn to each other and, although the sex is great, she isn’t big on commitments and doesn’t want to deal with the inheritance game. And someone tries to kill her and then kidnaps her for sale to a slave trader in Hong Kong. Will she be able to trust Turner? Turner found her performance one of the best he’d seen and this trip turned out to be worth it. She definitely could be the Rae he’d searched for. He could see the little girl who held the stuffed rabbit from the old picture. He showed his investigators badge to the bartender and explained that he needed to speak to her. The owner came out and asked him why. All Turner told the man was that her brother looked for her due to a death in the family.After about a half hour, she came out from behind the stage. Her hair was tied up in a Scrunchy and she wore tight jeans with a pale blue cable knit sweater. Instead of the three inch spiked heels she had on a pair of flat tennis-shoes. She walked up to the bar alone and sat on a stool two down from him. “Jake told me why you’re here. I think you may have me confused with someone else. I don’t have a brother.”“My name is Turner Black and I’ve been hired by your half-brother, Stewart Tarver, to find you, Miss Sibley.” He looked at her as she leaned over the counter and snagged a bottle of vodka and a shot glass. She really was gorgeous and he admired her ass as she moved back down to the stool. Her eyes were a light carmel color and she had a little sprinkle of freckles across the bridge of her nose.“The name is Smith, not whatever you just said.” She took a sip from the shot glass.Turner took the old picture out of his pocket. She looked at it. He watched her and saw her eyes squint. It was a dead giveaway and he’d learned how to read people over the years.When she sucked in a deep breath and let it out slowly, he knew she remembered that photo.“According to your half-brother, this picture was one of the few times you met him and your father.” He knew by the look in her eyes it was familiar.She pushed it back at him. “I’m sorry, Mr. Black. It’s not ringing any bells.”This goddamn woman is stubborn, Turner thought. ****When Rae looked at the picture she saw a little girl with a stuffed rabbit in one hand and an older boy stood next to her and held her other hand. That stupid rabbit was the only thing she had left of her mother and would never give it away.“I think it does ring bells, Miss Sibley.”“Smith, as I said. I’m Rae Smith.”“Your father passed away about a year ago and your half-brother’s looked for you since.”“Mr. Black, I never met my father or any brother. I’m an only child. My mother died when I was twelve. I’ve been on my own ever since. She never said anything to me about a brother.” She swallowed the vodka and put the lid back onto the bottle.“Miss Smith, I know your history.”“You know nothing about me.” She slid off the stool and started back to the dressing room. Grabbing her jacket and bag, she walked out the back door of the building, rounded a corner and there stood Mr. Black by a dark grey Toyota Prius. Good gas mileage, she thought, arched her eyebrow and started to walk past him.“Miss Smith, could I give you a ride home?”“No thanks,” she said and kept moving down the sidewalk.The engine started in the car and she realized he followed her. When she got to the corner, she stopped and looked at him.“So, you’re a stalker and all that other story was bullshit?” She bent at the waist and looked at him through the window.“No, I’m not a stalker. Can I buy you some coffee? There is more to explain.”She started across the street and as he motored through, she turned left and headed another direction. Her apartment was only a few blocks away, but if she cut through the alley, she could go in the back way. He wouldn’t be able to follow her.She saw a light flash in the corner of her eye and looked over her shoulder. Her pace picked up and the alley turned about one-hundred feet away.“Look, what do you have to lose? You’d be able to finally open that dance school you always wanted,” he shouted from the car window.Rae stopped dead in her tracks and stared at him. There wasn’t any way possible he could know what she wanted. Amazon Kindle ~ Siren Books ~ B&N ~ Goodreads A Flame Dance ~ book 3 of A Risky Dance seriesReleases February 29, 2016 “How did you fair, Jarrah?” Rae asked.“The kid beat me twenty out of thirty games.” He looked over his shoulder. “I have some information.”Grace followed them out of the room and down a hallway toward the offices. He stopped and lowered his voice. “His name is Jonah Sullivan and he’s eleven years old. He has a brother named Jacob who’s fourteen. They were dumped at a park and ride in Reno by their mother and after they lived on the street for a few days met some guy named Feathertop who brought them to Sacramento.”“Unbelievable, the kids been with us for six weeks and all we knew was his nickname.” Rae shook her head.“This guy Feathertop gives them the nicknames and insists they use them always.”“I’ve heard of that guy. He’s sort of like Fagin in Oliver Twist. He promises them food, safety and in exchange they’re taught to pick pockets, steel purses and I’ve even heard they’ve robbed some houses,” Grace said.“I was over in Sacramento this morning and think I may have seen his crew. We were protecting the singer Veronda and I don’t know how many worked the crowd, but they were good.”“Let me see what I can find out about Jonah Sullivan.” Rae looked toward her office.“It’s sad. I mean, to be dumped by your mom and then his brother brought him here and told him to wait until he came back. Poor kid.” Hejazi shook his head. Grace now found she admired this man’s heart. He felt for Kit.“Turner will be here to pick me up around five-thirty, oh and Grace will be joining us.” Rae grinned.She wanted to crawl into the carpet and hide. When she looked at Hejazi, he smiled.“Great, I won’t be a third wheel,” he said.Grace stared at his dark eyes and realized she couldn’t determine what color they were. They were either black or dark brown, but they mesmerized her and when she became aware that he stared back, she blushed.“Rae, could I ride with you and Mr. Black?” she asked.“You could ride with me. I don’t know my way around here and you can direct me,” Hejazi said before Rae could answer.Grace smiled. “Sounds good.”“I should go find a place to stay the night. How about I meet you out front at five o’clock?”“That’s fine.”****Hejazi found a Holiday Inn and booked the room for the next five days. He wanted to spend some more time with that kid, Jonah, and see if he could find out more about Feathertop. He also wanted to get to know Grace McKay.With his connections to the military and feds he could easily find out about her, but decided he’d rather get the low down direct from the source.It was over fifteen years since he’d been with his last girlfriend. On his first tour of duty, when he’d gone home to Chicago for two weeks leave, his girl, Marissa, acted strange when they met back up. After a couple of days, she’d told him that she’d fallen in love with an insurance salesman. The news kicked him in the balls and he’d decided to put his time and energy into the Marine Corps’ and starting his security group. He never wanted to feel his heart tear in half again.Fifteen years passed with a blink of an eye and this coming October he’d turn forty years old. He’d gotten to a point where he could monitor the business from wherever he decided to live. The men in his group could handle the job professionally and didn’t need him to be present all the time.Grace McKay was a beautiful woman and ex-military which gave them something in common. Her height caught his attention, too. His six-foot-five build made it difficult to date smaller women, not that he dated. The fleeting thought that he wouldn’t have to bend at the waist to kiss Grace made him smile while he shaved. Their bodies might even fit together nice and snug, too.He looked at himself in the mirror. “You’re putting your cart way before your horse, asshole. She’s probably married,” he said to his reflection. “Or she’s involved with someone and you won’t have a chance. You have work to do in a month and don’t need the aggravation.” Monika Summerville is an avid reader, loves good tense movies, and works hard on her writing.

It was about time for lunch when Greg appeared at my office door with a strained expression on his face.
“Come in, Greg. What is it?”
“Do you know where Colin is? He’s not at home.”
“No. Have you asked Tom? I didn’t see Colin this morning.”
Greg lifted his eyebrows, but asked no questions. Maybe my frown told him he shouldn’t. After our tiff at dinner last night, I’d slept in the guest room and left the penthouse this morning before he made an appearance. Sofia had to practically chase me down with a carton of Greek yogurt and beg me to at least eat that.
Greg paused, seeming to choose his words carefully before continuing. “Actually, I can’t find Tom either. That was going to be my next question.”
“Why don’t you tell me what you’re trying to find them for, and we’ll go from there.”
His worried look deepened. “I guess I’d better. You and the other ladies need to stay in this building until I can locate Tom and get transport arranged. Luke has made bail, and he’s threatening to finish the job he started.”
Until that moment, I’d never believed one could literally feel the blood drain from one’s face. But I did. “But… How could he have made bail? Wasn’t it something like five million dollars? And if he’s making threats, can’t they pick him up again?”
“Well…” he began.
I stood and put both hands on my hips. “Well, what?”
“He’s not exactly making them in public,” Greg said. He had the grace to look guilty. “He was released a short while ago after an unknown party posted the bail, and yes, it was pretty large. We’ve been monitoring his phones in case this happened.”
“Are you telling me you have an illegal wire tap?” I stopped abruptly on a rising note, and then calmed myself. “No! Don’t say another word. Do not confirm or deny. Let’s go back to Colin and Tom. Why don’t you know where they are?”
Greg shrugged. “I’m not sure. I mean, it isn’t unusual for Tom to keep irregular hours at the office. He has all kinds of shit to deal with. Sorry.” Although his words were casual, he still bore the anxious expression he’d worn at the beginning.

Like you, I’m a reader. When I read a good story with characters I can connect with, my everyday existence fades into the background as I enter a world that may contain exotic locations, adventure and excitement. And, if I can be totally honest with you, in my favorite stories I can fall in love for a while with an impossibly gorgeous guy who is the best lover imaginable.

So, maybe it won’t come as a surprise that in my books you’ll find hot alpha male book-boyfriends, sassy heroines who are much more clever and beautiful than I am, and stories I hope will make you laugh and cry while reading them, as I did while writing them. Oh, and some scenes you may want to role-play with your lover.

When I’m not writing (which is almost never) I enjoy reading, hiking in the foothills near Denver, live blues music, karaoke and now and then indulging in her karaoke habit.

Mending Heartstrings by Aria Glazki

Mending Heartstrings by Aria Glazki Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance (Sweet heat level)
Cover Designer: Christa Holland at Paper & SageRelease Date: February 9, 2016


Kane’s a country singer who’s tangled with too many deceitful women. He’s learned his lesson: girls are for flirting and fun; emotions are for his music. But after spending a night with an earnest woman unlike any he’s known, he can’t force her out of his mind. So he goes in search of the woman he knows only as “Elle.”

On her last night in Nashville, the staunchly pragmatic Sabella found herself in a situation more suited to a romance novel than reality. Swept away, she ignored her rigidly self-imposed rules, succumbing to the fantasy just this once. But she knows real-world relationships have nothing in common with their fictionalized portrayals. When Kane unexpectedly shows up at her Portland apartment, she must choose between the practical truths she has learned and the desire for a passionate love she has struggled to suppress.

Despite the distance, Kane’s tour schedule, and their meddling friends, both are drawn to the chance for a romance neither quite believes is possible.




“So how did you know I was from out of town?” She hadn’t thought she stood out quite so blatantly, and there were plenty of people in Nashville without Southern accents, so that couldn’t have given her away.“You don’t act like a local girl,” he answered, relaxing back into the couch. His hands rested gently on his thighs, and he sat with his ankles crossed. He looked so perfectly comfortable that she felt even more self-conscious, standing in the middle of the room, thumbs tucked into the pockets of her jeans.“And how do local girls act?” she asked curiously, shifting her weight to one hip to appear more relaxed.“Confident. Assertive. They know exactly what they bring to the table, and exactly what they want to take away.” He paused. She felt herself swallow but continued to watch him. “But they rarely take any real risks,” he finished.Kane stood and stepped forward, which brought him a touch closer to her than would have been casual. Sabella could see the stubble beginning to grow over his angled jaw and slightly rounded chin, his hair brushing over the tops of his ears and down to the back of his shirt collar, the thin scar that angled from right above his lip toward his left cheek, and the slightly flattened line of his nose that told her it had been broken at least once. He smelled faintly of wood with an overlay of beer, a combination she never would have imagined to be alluring.She shifted moderately closer to him. If his assessment of these women was accurate, she definitely had little in common with them. Maybe it was her natural curiosity, but she almost never knew well enough to avoid taking risks, though she relentlessly attempted to impose sensible limitations on herself. Clearly that wasn’t working so well tonight.Over a foot remained between them, yet their stance felt oddly intimate. Until the door was opened by an older woman in a jean skirt, black halter top, and well-worn leather boots.Sabella took a hasty step back, but the woman was looking at Kane. He hadn’t reacted as sharply as she had, but rather did a slow half turn toward the door.“Amber Lynn,” he said by way of greeting and smiled somewhat crookedly.“Kane,” she responded, with a voice so husky she must have spent years shouting to be heard. “Not your best night,” she said casually then turned toward Sabella. “Now you must be why the boys keep on askin’ me for a karaoke night.” Her eyes took in Sabella’s silky purple top, manicured hands, casual sandals, and loosely waved hair, which didn’t accurately reflect the fact that it had taken almost an hour to style. She took her time, as if her eyes moved through the same honey that dripped from her voice—though that’s how Sabella thought of most country accents she had heard in her brief time in Nashville.“Amber Lynn here’s the owner of the Fiddle an’ Steel,” Kane explained. His drawl was actually not as thick, with only a hint of flattened vowels and that light softening to some of his consonants.“Pleasure to meet you,” Sabella offered politely.“Welcome to Nashville,” Amber Lynn replied. “What’re you hidin’ in here for? A lotta them boys would sure love to get to know ya better after that little show y’all put on.” The last few words were directed at Kane. Amber Lynn narrowed her eyes a bit and pursed her lips, as if trying to discern Kane’s motives.“Give ’er a chance to recover, Amber Lynn.” Kane’s innocent smile never wavered.Amber Lynn considered him for a moment, glanced again at Sabella, and turned back toward the door. “Behave yourself, boy,” she threw over her shoulder as she walked out.“You know me!” he called after her, grinning. “So.” He turned back to Sabella, and his mouth settled into a half smile. “Can I buy you a drink?”





Aria’s writing story started when her seventh-grade English teacher encouraged her to submit a class assignment for publication. That piece was printed, and let’s just say, she was hooked!

Since then, Aria has run a literary magazine, earned her degree in Creative Writing (as well as in French and Russian literatures), and been published here and there. Though her first kiss technically came from a bear cub, and no fairytale transformation followed, Aria still believes magic can happen when the right people come together—if they don’t get in their own way, that is.

Other than all things literary, Aria loves spending time with her family, including her two unbearably adorable nieces. She also dabbles in painting, dancing, playing violin, and, given the opportunity, Epicureanism.

Lost In Her by Sandra Owens

Lost In Her by Sandra Owens Series: K2 Team, #4Genre: Contemporary Romantic Suspense
Publisher: Montlake Romance
Cover Designer: Eileen CareyRelease Date: February 9, 2016


It’s been a year since Ryan O’Connor buried his wife. He was in Afghanistan as a SEAL medic when the call came in that she’d been killed during a robbery. In that time, he returned home, nursed his grief, and joined his former brothers-in-arms in the K2 Special Services.

After breaking up with her psycho ex, Charlene “Charlie” Morgan finds happiness only when flying the friendly skies—as an acrobatic stunt pilot. But the skies aren’t so friendly when her plane troubles turn out to be the work of sabotage.

Looking to forget their worries, Charlie and Ryan run into each other at a bar. The chemistry is instant and intense. It’s only supposed to be a one-night stand. But the memory of their passionate kiss lingers, and when Ryan shows up at Charlie’s flight school, their romance takes off. Yet the route to love has its own turbulence—secrets, lies, and danger. Can one night lead to something lasting?



There were no clouds overhead, and as Charlie peered up at billions of stars twinkling in a velvet black sky, she pulled her T-shirt over her head, and then slid her jeans down her legs. Too chicken to remove her bra and panties, she turned and walked down to the water, feeling daring. She had never done anything like that before and wondered why not.Walking into the surf until she was thigh deep, she laughed when a wave almost knocked her over. The water was cold but not freezing, and she turned so that the oncoming wave would hit her in the back. In front of her, Ryan stood in water up to his knees, not a stitch on. As if she were metal to his magnet, she went to him.“You’re like a sea goddess, here to bewitch me,” he said when she was inches from him.“You have a glib tongue,” she answered.“I’m Irish. Glib is in my blood.”“I’m good with your being Irish, but I’m really fond of your tongue.”The white of his teeth gleamed in the moonlight when he grinned. “I think you should prove to me just how fond of it you are.”She took a step closer. “You have no clothes on.”“I’m doing something wrong if you’re just now noticing that, Charlie.”“Oh, believe me, I noticed.”Taking her hand, he led her deeper into the gulf, past where the waves were breaking. Although his chest and head were above the water, she was on her tiptoes. When he realized she was struggling not to swallow salt water, he laughed.“Climb up me, little girl, before you drown.” As she grabbed his shoulders, her feet leaving the ocean floor, he deftly slid off her panties.She punched his arm. “You’re a sneaky one.”“You’ve no idea. You know, the knights of old would be given a token from their lady before going into battle,” he said, tugging her panties up his arm. “I think I’ll keep these as my good luck charm.”“Ha! I don’t think they gave them their panties.”“Actually, I don’t believe they wore panties back then. A good practice, that.”“Men,” she said. She wrapped her legs around his waist, and her arms around his neck. His arms circled her back, and they held each other as the water swirled around them. Without him to anchor her, the current would have swept her away, but he was so strong that she felt safe and protected. The heat from his body kept her warm.“Kiss me, Charlene.”They kissed and petted and kissed some more under the moonlit night and the stars twinkling above. With him holding her close, she thought she could spend all night there in the Gulf of Mexico, doing nothing but loving him.When the cold finally penetrated her skin and she shivered, he carried her out of the water and up to the dune where he had spread the blanket. With his large body covering hers, warming her again, he made love to her there on the sand, which was still heated from the daytime sun. His touches and kisses were tender, and as he whispered her name softly into her ear, she felt cherished. She squeezed her eyes shut against the tears burning in them and loved him back.It was the most beautiful night Charlie had ever known.
