As I become enveloped in sensation, my thighs begin to shake from where they are wrapped tightly around his back. My newly manicured nails dig into his back and my last coherent thought as I fall into the oblivion is, “How the hell did I get here?”

1 Naughty Excerpt

“How are you feeling?” He kisses my naked shoulder.

“Umm…” I don’t quite know how to answer him. It would be a total lie if I said I was fine. I’m not sure I’ll ever be completely all right after what happened to me. I may not be a walking ball of anxiety anymore, or at least not when Finn is in the room, but how can I ever truly be okay, knowing that a man I loved and looked up to, my stepfather, had me kidnapped and brought to that hellish place for reasons I’d rather not think about?

“Better,” I whisper, looking into the mirror and meeting his warm, gentle eyes.

“That’s my girl,” he says with a grin. One of his arms wraps across my chest while the other one grabs the shirt I’m shielding myself with and tosses it back onto the floor. 

“Finn,” I say in protest.

He gently pulls me in tighter to his body, surrounding me.

After sweeping my hair to one side, Finn nuzzles and kisses my neck with gentle affection. My body relaxes in his arms. I hear my own sigh as I let go of the tension I’ve been holding in. I wrap my hands around his forearms, grounding myself.

“Breakfast will be here in thirty minutes. Should give you enough time for a nice soak in the tub,” he tells me and kisses my bare shoulder, holding me warmly in his arms.

“Thanks, Mr. Clean, but I’m good.” I giggle, turning my head and looking up into his face. 

“Mr. Clean?”

“Yes, until I can come up with something better,” I say, and although he’s scowling down at me, I see a trace of a smile.

“You could just use my name,” he states, raising his sexy eyebrows up at me.

“I could.”

Finn leans and whispers against my lips, his voice dipping into a low, sensual growl that sends a spark of heat through me. “Or you could call me sir.” 

“I could,” I say, and even I can hear the breathy desire in my voice.

Fuck! This man has a power over me, like no other.

One of his large hands cups my face and turns it so he can take my mouth with his—slowly, deeply, possessing it completely. I moan as his free hand cups my breast and he pinches my already-stiff nipple, sending a tingle of familiar pleasure through my body.

“How’s your cunt feeling?” he asks against my lips. The hand that was sensually torturing my breast slides down my body and between my legs, which part instinctively, welcoming—wanting—his touch.

“Wet.” My words come out in a strange giggle-moan as he palms my bare flesh.

How could I possibly be anything else with him touching and surrounding me?

The soreness from this morning no longer exists, replaced by an aching need.

Why the fuck does this man affect me so much?

I hear a groan behind me as Finn’s arms release their hold on me, and I feel a chill from the loss. With his warm hands on my hips, he spins me around so we are now face-to-face. I slide my palms up his solid chest and entwine my arms around his neck, letting my fingers slide through his thick hair as I pull him toward me. He comes willingly, pressing his full wet lips to my awaiting ones, taking over and dominating the kiss. His arms wrap around me. I shudder with pleasure as he runs his hands down my back to palm my ass, then squeeze it gently before moving lower.

“Dude!” I exclaim as I am suddenly lifted. Finn knocks over bottles and pushes our clothes onto the floor, and he sets me on the counter.

“Dude?” he asks, quirking his eyebrows.

Smiling and spreading my legs farther apart, I let his question go unanswered as I pull him in closer. Wanting—needing—to feel his warmth.

Finn tangles one hand in my hair, while the other slowly moves back down my body, caressing, touching, and sending a shudder of need through me. He kisses me slowly, leisurely, teasing me with his tongue. His wandering hand squeezes my breast and thumbs my nipple. I hear myself making a plaintive moan in his mouth. Still lower his hand travels, stroking my skin along the way, making me shiver. Finally, his hand reaches my sex.

“Lean back on your elbows,” he tells me, breaking the kiss.

I lean back and look down my body at the man between my legs. His strong hands are resting on my thighs, gently pushing them apart, exposing my sex further to the cool air of the room and his heated gaze.

Xavier Finch From Uncovering Lily Gets Sorted

In Uncovering Lily, our hero Xavier Finch tells the heroine Lily that he is a fan of Harry Potter and claims to have been sorted into Gryffindor.

I’m struck suddenly by how oddly date-like our dinner has become, and even more confused by this man’s odd behavior. Ever since we sat down to eat, it seems like he wants to get to know me. Almost like he wants to be friends. I highly doubt that this man lacks friends. So why does he care whether or not I’m a fan of Harry Potter? Incidentally, I am, having grown up reading the books and seeing the films. He claims to have taken an online quiz that sorted him into Gryffindor, but I’m not sure I believe him. He’s clearly a Slytherin. ~ Uncovering Lily (Chapter Eight)

I hacked into his web browser history, with the help of his sister, and found the answers he gave to the Sorting Hat quiz. He wasn't lying, he was sorted into Gryffindor!

Learn something new about our sexy, naughty hero and check out how Xavier answered all of the questions to the quiz below (his answers are in red).

The gleaming jet black box with a silver lock and key, marked with a mysterious rune that you know to be the mark of Merlin. The ornate golden casket, standing on clawed feet, whose inscription warns that both secret knowledge and unbearable temptation lie within. The small pewter box, unassuming and plain, with a scratched message upon it that reads ‘I open only for the worthy.’. What kind of instrument most pleases your ear? Violin Drums Piano Trumpet Four goblets are placed before you. Which would you choose to drink? The foaming, frothing, silvery liquid that sparkles as though containing ground diamonds. The smooth, thick, richly purple drink that gives off a delicious smell of chocolate and plums. The golden liquid so bright that it hurts the eye, and which makes sunspots dance all around the room.

Lie and say you don’t know (but hope that somebody else tells Professor Flitwick the truth). Tell Professor Flitwick that he ought to ask your classmate (and resolve to tell your classmate that if he doesn’t tell the truth, you will). Tell Professor Flitwick the truth. If your classmate is prepared to win by cheating, he deserves to be found out. Also, as you are both in the same house, any points he loses will be regained by you, for coming first in his place.

Waking up to find that neither your friends nor your family have any idea who you are. Being forced to speak in such a silly voice that hardly anyone can understand you, and everyone laughs at you. Late at night, walking alone down the street, you hear a peculiar cry that you believe to have a magical source. Do you: Proceed with caution, keeping one hand on your concealed wand and an eye out for any disturbance. Draw your wand and try to discover the source of the noise. Draw your wand and stand your ground. Withdraw into the shadows to await developments, while mentally reviewing the most appropriate defensive and offensive spells, should trouble occur. A Muggle confronts you and says that they are sure you are a witch or wizard. Do you: Tell them that you are worried about their mental health, and offer to call a doctor. Ask what makes them think so. Agree, and ask whether they’d like a free sample of a jinx. Agree, and walk away, leaving them to wonder whether you are bluffing.

Introducing: Trevor Gregor from Claiming Lily

This post is dedicated entirely to the swoon worthy assistant slash bodyguard that is Trevor Gregor! I am currently working on writing Claiming Lily, the sequel to Uncovering Lily and have developed the biggest crush on this supporting character. Not that I fallen out of love with Xavier Finch by any means!

When I began writing the face I saw was that of actor Warren Kole, pictured above. Blonde, blue-eyed and rugged looking! Perfect for the sweet, but deadly man that Trevor is.

Below I have included some fun facts and a small excerpt from when Trevor makes his appearance in Claiming Lily!

 

5 Fun Facts:

1) Medically discharged from the Army

2) The sugar cookie is his favorite cookie

3) He reads action-adventure mystery novels

4) He plays chess

5) Certified Instructor in Krav Maga

 

Excerpt: 

“Mr. Finch,” a booming voice calls out from across the lobby as a man jogs over to us overloaded with suitcases, a garment bag and a messenger bag.

“Here he his now,” Finn says and I feel his body relaxing against mine.

As the man draws closer, my eyes widen and I can’t help but smile as I get a better look at him. Total eye candy! He is a head shorter than Finn and broader in the chest. The tight royal blue polo shirt, shows off his pecks perfectly. Staring at his chest I almost miss his square jaw, bright blue eyes, and light blonde hair cropped short. All on a canvas of alabaster skin even paler than my own. You could tell from the way he walks towards us that he, much like Finn, exudes self confidence. It’s almost palpable. And extremely sexy.

The top button of his shirt is undone and I can see wisps of curly blond hair peeking out. I can’t help but wonder how far that hair trails down his chest.

“Lily,” Finn snaps, the sound of his voice and his fingertips digging into my hip, breaks through my musings.

I look up at his sexy scowl, his golden eyes boring into mine, and I melt into his side asking “Sir?”

“Princess, this is my assistant Trevor,” Finn introduces us, curling me further into his chest.

“Miss MacKay,” he says respectfully, giving me a bright smile. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Hi,” I smile and give him a small idiotic wave, from where I’m plastered against Finn’s chest.

I cannot wait for you to fall in love with Trevor too. Don't worry he is single, for now...

Character Interview: Lily MacKay

The heroine of UNCOVERING LILY, Lily MacKay, has agreed to answer some questions about herself and her recent harrowing experiences. For her own safety, we will not be disclosing her current location or spoiling too many of events that took place within the story.

Rene: If you had a free day and your only mission was to enjoy yourself, where would you go and what would you do?

Lily: I would start the day off at cafè, having a cup of tea and croissant. Then I would find a garden or an art museum to wander through. I would end the day by going out dancing with some friends.

Rene: Do you think you’ve turned out the way your parents expected?

Lily: Yes and No. My mother expected me to follow the life plan she had all mapped out for me since I was born. My dad would’ve wanted and expected me to find my own path and passions.

Rene: What do you like best about Xavier?

Lily: Is it too shallow to say he’s hot? I’ll admit he can be incredibly thoughtful and sweet. He’s also so scary intelligent, it can actually be a little intimidating. But what I like best about my man, is how safe and cared for I feel when I am with him.

Rene: What do you like the least about Xavier?

Lily: He’s moody AF! Seriously!

Rene: What is the quality you are most looking for in a man?

Lily: I want a man who makes me feel safe, both physically and emotionally. Someone, I can feel safe being myself with. I was looking for Xavier.

Rene: What is your most treasured possession?

Lily: During his last business trips to Paris, my dad brought me back a French silk scarf covered in red poppies. He told me he saw it and thought of me. That’s exactly who he was, the most thoughtful man in the world. What fucking sucks is, I had it with me in Paris. I doubt I’ll ever see it again.

Rene: What is your current state of mind?

Lily: Seriously? What do you fucking think? I was kidnapped and held prisoner! I’m completely fucked up.

Discover the rest of the story, make sure you read CLAIMING LILY (book 2) and FREEING LILY (book 3).

Uncovering the Tropes in UNCOVERING LILY

Hello Readers,

What is a trope? 

A trope is a common or recurring narrative theme or element.

There is a laundry list of tropes seen within the romance genre. My forthcoming novel, Uncovering Lily, has several within the narrative, they include the alpha hero, the virgin, the millionaire, and the protector. To some extent, the tropes of stranded and mistaken identity also come into play. 

Aside from the hero, Xavier Finch, being an alpha hero, the tropes in this story differ from my previous novels. Uncovering Lily is both darker and sexier. (I can't wait to finally share it with you!)

Alpha Hero: the hero is both assertive and driven, controlling the world around him.

Virgin: one of the characters, usually the heroine, has never had a sexual relationship. 

Millionaire: one of the characters, usually the hero, can afford anything their heart desires. Excerpt for the love of the heroine, which has to be earned! 

Protector: one character, usually the hero, is determined to protect the other from harm. 

Mistaken Identity: one of the characters are assumed to be someone they are not, and they don't correct the assumption. 

Stranded: the couple is stranded together and their relationship develops from the experience.

Why is knowing a novel's tropes important? We are usually familiar with them, even subconsciously, and so knowing a novel's tropes gives us clues as to the narrative prior to reading.

The blurb or synopsis usually hints at the tropes found within:

A Kidnapped College Student

While studying abroad, I was drugged, kidnapped, and imprisoned . . . in a Hong Kong brothel. After several failed attempts to escape, I know my time is running out. My innocence is about to be sold to the highest bidder.

A Billionaire CEO

My plan was to meet an investor at the upscale brothel, and immediately return to Boston. That was until I uncovered Lily. I recognized her instantly, but she had no memory of me. 

Now I only have one night to claim her and rescue her from her captors.

Will one night be enough for him to win her trust, to rescue her?
