The Author's Corner

All this started because of a wonderful friend, who is an author. It's only fair that I allow the authors their say. Sometimes they'll explain a book, others they may want to promote a new book that's coming out. This is their page. No Edits, No Censors. I post what they send me.

Synopsis

It always gets you when you least expect it.

You know the times when you have no willpower or desire to fight back. Then when you’re on the hunt for it, it becomes as elusive as a great white. But the day it knocks on your door you’re such a love-scorned woman you tell love to kiss your ass.

That’s right… LOVE BITES.

Sage Clark is no stranger to this game. She’s been beat down time after time in the vicious cycle of love never coming out the victor. When all hope is given up and every option depleted, Sage settles in for a lifetime of yoga pants, pop tarts and a steady flow of chick flicks.

Raise curtain and cue the choire.

In walks the man of her dreams and he’s seemingly perfect from head to toe. Sage feels her ovaries heat up at just the mere sight of the man but knows all too well love is a losing game for her. However, her prince charming just may have enough willpower to win her over.

Follow Sage as she slips and slides her way into the arms of the man who could be her Mr. Forever. She just might make the game of love her bitch this time.

Synopsis

Oh Tate Martin, king flirt, sex God!

Finding his fiancé and best friend all tangled up in his bedroom sheets was enough to turn “LOVE” into Tate’s worst enemy. Happy endings, fairytales, and all things associated with women hardened his heart and extinguished all his hopes of finding his future queen.

That’s right…LOVE BITES.

Tate rubs some dirt on his wounds from the game of love and opens up his very own business, “Date Tate, Casanova on Call”. Custom tailored to the needs of the women in the city. There’s no limit to his services, women call him night or day in search of the perfect wedding, business, or “meet the family” date.

You need a date? Tate is your man. He never claimed to be original just smoking hot, fly and ready for action.

Cash is flowing, Tate’s getting his sexual appetite fulfilled, and the silver lining –nobody’s heart gets broken in the process. He’d challenge Prince Charming to a duel in the swag department.

Until a certain brunette bombshell named Royal Fox hires him. The once cocky, smooth talking charmer finds himself at a loss for words and can’t quite explain the butterflies fluttering about. He’s felt the tingle in his dingle from other women, but this time it’s different. Hell the slightest breeze gives him a stiffy that lasts hours around Royal.

Follow Tate as he gets trapped on the highway to hell some call LOVE and find out if LOVE makes Tate her bitch.

Passing His Guard by Melynda Price

0 Comments

 
 
Melynda Price is the author of several contemporary and paranormal romance titles, including Until Darkness Comes, Shades of Darkness, Courting Darkness, and Braving the Darkness, all in the Redemption Series. Price writes for ardent readers who want to fall in love over and over again. Her goal is to make the unbelievable believable while taking her characters to the limit with stories full of passion, heart, and unexpected twists. Salting stories with undertones of history whenever possible, Price adds immeasurable depth to her well-crafted books. Win by Submission is the first book of her upcoming mixed martial arts–themed Against the Cage series. She lives with her husband and two children in Northern Minnesota, where there are plenty of snow-filled days to curl up in front of the fireplace with a hot cup of coffee and write.

 When a MMA fighter clashes wills with a sexy private investigator, the gloves come off… Aiden “Disco Stick” Kruze walked away from it all—money, family, friends, and a successful career as a lawyer in Manhattan—to pursue his dream of being an MMA fighter. When a sexy private investigator shows up at Aiden’s gym, he mistakenly assumes she’s a cage-banging groupie.
Ryann is determined to haul Aiden back home. She’s desperate to claim the reward money that will pay off her father’s creditors before the man who killed her father comes to collect from her.
Aiden is done living his life under the microscope of being a senator’s son. He’s not going back to New York—ever—and there’s nothing this tenacious redhead can do about it. Or is there?
When the demons of Aiden’s past catch up with him, he realizes the lies, deception, and betrayal run deeper than he ever imagined. Aiden must put his career and his life on the line to save the woman who’s stolen his heart.

Series Description:
Against The Cage:
The gritty, rough, and hot-as-hell MMA men of the Cage Fighting Association never surrender. Each has his own battle-scarred past, and each has a reason to resist the biggest takedown of all: love. But when these fighters meet their matches, the battles in the cage pale in comparison with the sparks that fly outside of it. Against the Cage, Melynda Price’s MMA romance series, is big on action and high on heat, with alpha males who are just as unforgettable as they are irresistible.

Synopsis

Merrick Thatcher went through a hell that no one could possibly imagine. He fought to protect his country, his family, and the men standing at his side, but it wasn't just being a soldier overseas that changed him. He watched his friends die in front of him, felt indescribable pain, and lost his sight in the very same moment. Badly injured, blind, and angry, he's done with war, but now he’s fighting his own battle. So, he’s waiting for it to end, spending his days and nights in a thick darkness no light can penetrate. Until Grace walks into his life and his broken eyes open to a woman that changes everything for him. A story about two flawed souls finding love amidst the grief. A love that shines vividly, even in the dark, and discovering that sometimes being broken is how the light gets in.

For readers 18+ due to language, violence, and sexual situations

Like many other foundations, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation provides assistance to injured soldiers as well as their families. SOWF also focuses on one of the most important challenges those families face; 'getting to their hospitalized loved ones as quickly as possible'. With grants immediately provided to the family, they can travel to be bedside with their loved one, especially for those crucial first days. SOWF also provides a scholarship program, family services (including clinical social workers, scholarship counselors, and family services counselors). With on-going support and helpful counseling to all families of fallen members in every branch of the military, they are able to help in all the ways that count. The SOWF was highly recommended to me by a recent veteran who served in Iraq. Therefore, I am thrilled to be able to help them in any way possible. Every little bit counts.

Author Bio

I live in Morgan, Utah with my husband, beautiful daughter, and a couple of spoiled pups. If I'm not deeply involved in writing my next book, then I'm probably reading in the safety and quiet of my closet. I love yoga – which I now practice regularly – playing hide and seek with my daughter (only to have my hiding spots revealed by one of the pups), and I love Fruit by the Foot, Twizzlers and Peace Tea. These are great ways to bribe me into revealing secrets about what's to come.

I have an unhealthy obsession with Supernatural, The Walking Dead, and The Big Bang Theory. I also enjoy talking about them, so if you like them, too, come find me.

Writing has become an enormous part of my life and every book I write holds a special place in my heart. If you read one of my books, I hope you have the same experience.

Excerpt

     Scurrying down the short entrance hall done in brown stone and decorative plaster inlay, she placed her hand on the brass door handle, punched in the alarm code on the panel to her left, and put a saccharin smile on her face. But when she yanked the heavy door open, it was not her elderly neighbor standing there with yet another casserole, it was Grant.
     His long arms were stretched out, gripping either side of the doorframe around the entrance. His blue button-down shirt was open halfway, and his gray slacks looked a little wrinkled. His amber eyes were drawn together, and his thin lips were pulled back in a displeased scowl.
     “Why did you leave?” His voice was saturated with anger.
     Heather tugged at the collar of her robe. “I thought it was better this way.”
     He furrowed his brow. “Better for whom? Because it sure wasn’t better for me. I didn’t like waking up to find you gone.” He bounded in the door. “Don’t do it again.”  
     “Hey, wait a minute,” she fussed as he rushed past her.
     He stood in the hallway, analyzing the decor. “We’re going to have a little chat.”
     “A chat?” The loud whack of the front door closing resonated around them. “How did you get my address, and my cell phone number for that matter? What are you, some kind of stalker?”
     “It’s in your employment record at Lewisville Medical.”
     She came up to him, fuming. “You talked to Ben, didn’t you?”
     His eyes traveled the curves of her robe. “Of course not. I called your hospital administrator, Tim Wellborn. I told him I wanted to thank you for all the personal care you gave me.”
     “You manipulative bastard.”
     He inched closer. “Why did you leave this morning?”    
     She marched past him and into her living room, trying to formulate an answer that would appease him and sound somewhat reasonable. At the white sofa, she stopped and faced him, shoving her damp hair aside. “You know why I left. You have Vanessa and I—I have Ben. Last night was just one of those things that can never be repeated.”
     He barreled up to her, glaring into her eyes. “Bullshit. You know last night was a hell of a lot more than that.”
     She tossed her hand in the air. “You’re practically engaged, Grant.”  
     “Do you honestly think I can marry her after last night?”
     “That’s what your father wants, right? Don’t you always do what he wants?”
     The fire in his eyes scared the crap out of her. She knew he was capable of real rage, she had seen it in the show ring, but never had she expected to be in the line of fire. His hands gripped her arms, pulling her against him. His fingers were squeezing into her robe, crushing her flesh.
     “Don’t ever speak to me like that again,” he snarled. “You have no idea what….” He went quiet. His face was inches from hers. She could feel his hot breath on her lips. “Tell me to go away and I will.”
     She mustered the strength to ask him to leave, but could not form the words. Having him so close was setting off a firestorm of desire. She ached for him … she longed for one more night naked in his arms.
     He pushed her away. “That’s what I figured.” He untied the belt of her robe and slowly slipped it through the loops as Heather held on to the lapels.
     Wrapping the thick piece of terrycloth about his right hand, he then lowered her hands from the robe.
     “You can’t push me away, not without consequences, Heather.” 
     Her stomach balled into a knot. “What consequences?”

Cover Reveal: Blinded by Fate by Harlow Stone

Banner 311899984_1466168953687190_3424709608396719787_n Synopsis

How did I get here?

Of course I know the answer, but if those bastards Fate and Karma truly do hold the cards then I wish I knew where the hell I went wrong?

There’s no crossroad for me anymore because I’m kneeling on the floor at the hands of a monster. My choices along with my dignity are about to be taken and there’s little I can do for myself.

The harsh bite of the concrete under my knees and the cage that surrounds it is a cruel reminder of my past. A past which follows me wherever I go despite my best efforts to remain in the shadows. One thing for certain is that no matter what happens, no matter where this takes me or if I get out alive- Ryder will always fight for me.

I’m not on my own anymore. I have a strong man who loves me and Callaghan Security behind me.

Surrendering is not an option, and retribution may not be my answer.

This is a reckoning.

I will find the answers and survive long enough to reclaim what I lost. My intent is pure and if I’m worthy enough fate will grant me the one thing I may not deserve.

Redemption.

About the author

I am a thirty year old woman who loves books. Not just reading them, but books themselves. I have had a weird obsession with libraries and maps since I was a child.

Perhaps I can call it fate that I wrote my first book about a woman enters more than one address into her GPS throughout the story?

Sunny days and wine make me happy, and when I'm not enjoying the wine you can usually find me reading or making crafts with my six year old.
