#8Sunday – The Kellys Are Back!
Happy Sunday, Everyone! Hope you’re enjoying your weekend. I missed Weekend Writing Warriors last week due to the Thanksgiving holiday, but I’m back this week, and excited to share a new project with you. The WeWriWa blog hop is a cool blog hop where writers of every genre share just 8 sentences from something they’ve written. It’s a great way to sample new writers and find some new favorites, so be sure to click through and check out the others.
Okay, so this week I’m starting something new. I write a romantic suspense series called The Kelly Family, and I’ve just released a new Kelly novella AND a compilation called the Kelly Family Novella Collection, comprising all five novellas in one volume. So for this eight, I’m sharing a snippet from the new novella, Payne. Enjoy!
Her impatience irked him. Part of him would love to give her a few sharp lessons in discipline and obedience, but he simply wasn’t invested enough in her to bother.
He took his time getting dressed, and then sat down to put on his boots, still ignoring the daggers she was shooting his way from her eyes. When he was finally put back together he turned to the mirror and slowly looked himself over, straightening his perfect light brown waves and smoothing the goatee at his chin. Then he turned toward her as he pulled the key to his handcuffs from his pocket.
“You know, not that it wasn’t hot as hell, because it was. But there’s something to be said for good old-fashioned missionary-style sex,” she said as he released her hands from their restraints and she rubbed at her wrists.
“Yes, there is … it f**king sucks,” he stated without humor as he stuffed his cuffs into his back pocket.
Payne: A Kelly Family Novella, and The Kelly Family Novella Collection are both available on Amazon and Smashwords, with other outlets coming soon. Here are the official blurbs:
Payne: A Kelly Family Novella
Payne Kelly is not a man to be trifeled with. Not on the job, not in a biker bar, and certainly not in his relationships with his submissives. His life is one of discipline and control, and that’s the way he likes it. But he’s tired of going from one short-term contract to another, so, when he goes looking for a sub to settle down with, his orderly world is thrown into chaos when he encounters the beautiful but troubled Phoebe White.
Phoebe’s not sure what to make of Payne when he comes to her rescue one night. But when his knight in shining armor routine turns into an interview to see if she’d be a compatible submissive, Phoebe’s too afraid to hope. Heartbroken over the death of her former Dom, she’s doubtful anyone could ever measure up, and she sets out to prove that Payne’s not serious about sticking around for the long haul.
