Teaser Wednesday! ‘Diamond B!tch’ by Michelle Brown
[image error]
I am so excited about how the release of Corrupt Desires is going so far! Thank you to everyone who has liked, shared, commented, or bought it! Honestly, I have so many books to catch up on, and my TBR pile is about to fall over by being so tall, but here is an awesome release by one of my besties Michelle Brown. So, let’s continue #TeaserTuesday this week with #TeaserWednesday!
Michelle Brown can write mafia, dark, and twisted so well. She has a duet called La Asesina Bonita and this new release is a spin off of that. I hope you check her out and show her some love!

Diamond B!tch
They hate me, but they don’t even know who I really am.
They see the person I show to the world.
They don’t know what I’ve lived through and they don’t know me.
But they will.
There’s a reason I’m called a bitch.
This is my story. You better pay attention.
* * *
Teaser
He gives me his most terrifying grin, “Well Senora Velasquez, it seems you already know who I am. Good, we can get on to the reason you are here. I want your… business.”
I may not know the new Rosalina too well, but I know she wouldn’t ever give away her family’s position.
Pretending to think it over, I look Ruslan in the eyes, “How about this… fuck you.”
Snapping his fingers, I don’t even see the other guy move before I feel his fist land, whipping my head to the side. I can feel the tears forming, trying my best to tame them, I look back up at the smug Russian.
Spitting out the blood towards him, he barely moves in time, the red bloody spit landing in the exact spot his shiny black shoes were just seconds ago. Glaring at me, Ruslan nods to the man next to me. Pulling my head back, he stuffs a dirty rag in my mouth and proceeds to strike my right kidney. It hurts so bad -I won’t let this man know how much though- tampering down my scream to a muffle, I try to twist away. It’s no use, the rope wrapped around my wrists is dangling from the wooden beam on some kind of hook. I could never break that beam with my weight. I’m here until someone frees me and from the gleam in Ruslan’s eye that won’t be any time soon.
Turning on his heel, he stops just before he reaches the door, “You will cave. For your sake let’s hope it’s before I get tired of waiting and kill you like I did your parents.”
I’m mumbling as best I can through the disgusting rag. He is practically to the door before I manage to work it out of my mouth with my tongue.
I yell, “Kiss my ass Ruslan. I would never hand it over. Be sure you sleep with one eye open for the rest of your miserable life.”
****
Seriously, doesn’t this sound so good? It just dropped yesterday and is doing so well! I love Michelle and am so happy her author career is taking off so quickly, the words are just flying off of her fingers! So what are you waiting for lovelies?? Snap a copy up and tell me what you thought!

Teaser Tuesday! ‘Last Resort’ by Ashleigh Giannoccaro
[image error]
Wasn’t my last #TeaserTuesday talking about how I have missed weeks of our favorite posts? I am doing so much better now that Corrupt Desires is finally LIVE and I am getting more sleep! Have you picked Corrupt Desires yet? It is only $2.99 for a VERY short time and then it goes to it’s normal price of $4.99.
This brings me to Ashleigh Giannoccaro, she didn’t get to promo her release last month much due to personal issues, but that’s okay because we will do it now! Have you checked out Last Resort? Check this out!
* * *
Last Resort
Jo is running away even if she can’t admit that to herself. Afraid of what the future holds, she’s looking for an escape and a chance to forget. Her soul is too heavy to float and she’s ready to let it all go and sink to the bottom.
Olly ran a long time ago. He’s remained on this little rock in the middle of the ocean for so long that the rest of the world has disappeared. Now he’s ready to leave the island and his past behind him.
She wasn’t looking for a holiday romance. He was ready for new adventures.
When these two lost souls collide, everything changes. Will Olly give up his future to be a part of hers? Could Jo forget the past and fall in love with the boy who smells like the ocean she’s so afraid of?
Sometimes even love is too heavy to float.
* * *
Teaser
When she pulls off my shirt, I know I need to stop this before it’s too late.
Grabbing her small hands in mine, I look at her, her dark hair is a mess and her face is still puffy from crying. Her lips swollen from our violent kissing, and her hands trembling in mine.
“Stop, Jo.” I say as she tries to pull them free.
“I’m not going to have sex with you, not here and not like this.” She looks like she may cry again.
“Slow down pretty girl, we have the whole summer. You aren’t ready for this to be more than it is. I don’t want to be a regret in the morning.
* * *
My girl can write super twisted and dark, but this proves she also has a deft hand with making us swoon. ‘Last Resort’ is LIVE in time to match the heat of this summer! SO HOT! Snag a copy, lovelies, and if you beat me to reading it YOU HAVE TO TELL ME WHAT YOU THOUGHT!

Corrupt Desires is LIVE! $2.99 for only a few days!
Hey lovelies!
It’s finally here and I can’t wait to hear what you all think! ‘Corrupt Desires’ is a contemporary romantic suspense, with a few dark elements (because it’s me, obvs.) but our hero is a total romantic swoon-worthy dom… and a badass. No spoilers! It is a standalone full-length novel with BDSM, drama, suspense, and a world of corrupt men that make this fairytale darker than most.
It’s on sale for $2.99 for ONLY A FEW DAYS before it goes to full price of $4.99. This is because I made a mistake when booking an ad, but – hey, you get to reap the benefits if your hurry!
As always the book is also on Kindle Unlimited, and I’d love for you to email me back once you’ve read it!

*********
[image error]Phee knows that girls like her don’t get the fairytale…
Falling for a man like Bryant Holbrook is just begging for heartbreak. Rich boys don’t look twice at waitresses from the fog, at least not until now. One smart-mouthed taunt and his turquoise eyes are all over her. That cocky, bad boy grin tempting her with the impossible.
It should have stayed a one-night stand.
Now, it’s too late.
Phee is pulled into a world of danger and corruption where Bryant must put everything at risk to keep her safe, or risk losing her to keep his father’s dream alive.
*This is a standalone full-length contemporary romantic suspense with an intense heroic Dom, drama, danger, and a world of corrupt men that make this fairy tale darker than most. How far would you go for your happy ending?

Giveaways are usually open for 24 hours, so don’t worry about your time zone!
Music Monday – Don’t Believe You
[image error]
It’s #MusicMonday (and release day for Corrupt Desires) so I obviously need something energetic enough to keep me functioning since I was up into the wee hours prepping for today with posts and takeover pre-work and blahblahblah. This song has the most fun electronica elements, but Thief also has great vocals that remind me of Jarryd James (another fave of mine). Anyway, I’ve got so much more to share today, but since I missed this last week I wanted to make sure you got this to kick off your mornings! Enjoy!
Lyrics
I never meant for this to hurt you,
I never meant to stay.
You knew I couldn’t go there with you,
but you asked me anyway.
(Say, won’t you stay?)
So take a lesson from the liar…
Take a lesson from the thief…
Don’t build your house upon a promise that you
just don’t plan to keep.
I don’t believe you.
You got another thing coming,
I don’t believe you.
You got another thing coming,
I don’t believe you.
I didn’t wanna say that to you,
I didn’t wanna make you cry.
But why even ask the question,
when you know you’re gonna get a lie?
(Don’t lie to me, baby)
Maybe it’s because I’m broken,
maybe it’s that I’m a thief,
but you probably should’ve spoken if you
wanted me to believe.
I don’t believe you.
You got another thing coming,
I don’t believe you.
You got another thing coming,
I don’t believe you.
You got another thing coming,
I don’t believe you.
You got another thing coming,
I don’t believe you.
(Oooh oh)
(Oooh oh)
Don’t believe you
Oh, look at my soul,
what am I supposed to do?
(Don’t believe you)
Oh, lost control,
the pain that I put you through…
(Don’t believe you)
Oh, look at my soul,
they’ll see into me and you.
(Don’t believe you)
Oh, lost control,
how am I gonna learn the truth?
(Don’t believe you)

Corrupt Desires
Phee knows that girls like her don’t get the fairytale…
Falling for a man like Bryant Holbrook is just begging for heartbreak. Rich boys don’t look twice at waitresses from the fog, at least not until now. One smart-mouthed taunt and his turquoise eyes are all over her. That cocky, bad boy grin tempting her with the impossible.
It should have stayed a one-night stand.
Now, it’s too late.
Phee is pulled into a world of danger and corruption where Bryant must put everything at risk to keep her safe, or risk losing her to keep his father’s dream alive.

Teaser
“Beg me again, Phee.”
“Bryant…” Phee groaned, panting against the bedding, bent over his lap as he teased her mercilessly. His fingers curling down to brush against that bundle of nerves inside as his thumb pressed rhythmically over her clit. Continuing until she was gritting her teeth to hold back the flood of pleas that threatened to escape.
“Either beg me for what you want, or I’ll tie you up and make sure you don’t come all night.” Bryant’s threat made Phee’s mouth drop open, but before she could come up with something smart ass to say he slid a third finger inside her, pumping them in a vicious tease that had her shivering towards the edge of a glorious orgasm.
“Oh God… Bryant!” Phee bucked against his grip, but he refused to let her move, and so she finally gave in. Let go and let the tug of Bryant Holbrook’s whirlpool drag her down. “Please, Bryant, please fuck me, because I’m going to lose it if you don’t. Please, please—”
Bryant pushed her off his lap and onto her back, and then he was on top of her, his knees moving her thighs apart as she arched up against his chest. “You beg so well, Phee,” he purred, hips dropping between hers, and she was infuriated by the fabric separating them as he ground himself against her.
“Bryant! Please!” Phee reached down and tugged at the waist of his boxers, and he laughed against her skin as he kissed up her neck.
“So, you’re saying you want me?” Bryant grinned at her and grabbed her wrists, pinning them above her head.
“Yes! I want you, please, Bryant,” Phee begged, the whine in her voice obvious as she rolled her hips to try and get more contact, to try and get him to give in. Damn his self-control.
“All you had to do was ask.” He kissed her hard, biting her lip and devouring her mouth in a delirious rush that finally gave her a hint that he felt the same way she did. Lifting her hips, she moaned against his lips, desperate to feel him inside her. Breaking the kiss with a groan, he twisted to grab a condom from the bedside table and she immediately reached for his boxers. Bryant went still, grinning down at her. “Did I say you could move your hands, Phee?”
Whining, she returned them above her head, and it was torture to watch as he slid two fingers into his mouth. Tasting her like he had all the time in the world as the condom hung in his other hand and his cock stayed trapped behind dark cloth. Lifting her hips into the air, she was reassured by the way Bryant’s gaze burned down her body to focus between her legs. “Please, Bryant. Please…”
“You taste so good.” That cocky smile tilted his lips and he gripped himself through his boxers, stroking as he lifted the foil of the condom to his mouth and tore the edge. “Are you going to be a good girl for me?”
“Yes, I will, I swear!” All pride out the window, she clenched the bedding in her fingers so she wouldn’t move.
“Next time I’m going to tie you up just so I can watch you writhe like this.” It was a promise she hoped he’d keep, but then none of it mattered because he was pushing his boxers down. He was long, thick, and she wanted to taste him, but didn’t dare move and tempt him to drag this out any further. He rolled the condom on slowly as he leaned over her. “Spread your legs for me,” he commanded and she did.
“Bryant,” she whispered, and then he was kissing her. One of his hands enveloped her wrists, tightening to hold them in place as she moaned against his lips, his cock brushing against her in a tortuous tease. She lifted her hips, pleading in broken murmurs, before he finally thrust inside her.
It was like hitting the ocean floor, the whirlpool an endless height above her, and she arched hard off the bed. He growled his own pleasure, hand tightening the grip on her wrists as he started to move. Each thrust pushing her closer to that tenuous edge of sharp pleasure, and an endless stream of pleas slipped from her lips as he moved his mouth to her neck and trailed kisses down to her shoulder. “That’s right, beg me for it…”
* * *
DID YOU LIKE THAT?! I really hope you did, lovelies. It’s been a lot of insomnia nights and plenty of wine to bring this book to where I needed it to be. I do want to make sure you guys know that this book is based on an older set of novellas titled ‘Of Fog and Fire’ that are no longer available. I never felt good about how those two separate novellas about Phee and Bryant just kind of got… jammed together, so I took the old book down! Now, Bryant and Phee’s original story has been completely rewritten, revised into a single novel, and the story expanded to be dirtier, darker, and blisteringly hot!
For now, it would be fantastic if you lovelies would mark ‘Corrupt Desires’ as a want-to-read on Goodreads, just to help it start to pick up steam before it goes live. ^_^ Thank you so much, and stay tuned for it going live on July 9th!
