<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;">It
didn’t take Diego long to do my makeup. Alex was pacing back and forth at that
point, waiting for me. Patience wasn’t something he was very good at. I’d even
thrown him a chocolate bar to pacify him, but it only kept him busy for a few
minutes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;">“There
you go, Cupcake. Don’t let Alex smudge your lipstick straight away. You don’t
look like the easy type.” After swatting my butt, Diego pushed me toward Alex.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Finally,”
he teased, circling his arms around me. “You look beautiful, Straight Lace.”
All I could do was smile in response as his lips pressed urgently against
mine. Diego sighed behind me, but I didn’t really care about my lipstick
right then. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;">“We’re
going on your <i>bike</i>?” I gasped as he handed me a helmet. Alex’s Harley
was legendary, but Shane had once told me that he only rode it alone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Is
that a problem? You’re not scared, are you?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Are
you kidding? I’ve wanted to go on this bike since I was a kid!” My excitement
was obvious. Alex let out a loud laugh and shook his head. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;">“You’re
not that much younger than me, Nat. Don’t make me sound so <i>old</i>.” I got
onto the bike behind him and hugged him tight. “Whoa. Don’t hold me <i>too</i>
tight. I need to breathe,” he joked, looking at me over his shoulder. I was
still beaming like a Cheshire cat. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;"> Alex’s
bike was fast. I loved the adrenaline rush that I got as we rode. The growl of
the engine sent tremors through my body. With my arms around his waist, I held
on tight as Alex </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">accelerated.
The sudden rush of wind made my hair that was free from the helmet dance
frantically behind my back. The world around us was flashing by so fast
it was a blur. I couldn’t get enough of this feeling. I’d never felt so free on
an open road before. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;">Alex
took us to a secluded restaurant on the outskirts of LA. It was lit up with
hundreds of twinkle lights and had ivy climbing the walls of the whitewash
building. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Where
did you find this place?” I asked as he entwined his fingers with mine. “It’s
really pretty.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;">“I
found it on my last ride up here. It looked like our kind of place.” I knew he
meant no one would interrupt us here, which I was really looking forward to. It
wasn’t very easy to find places outside of his mansion that we could be
together. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

allowed me to go in first. The restaurant was empty. A single table laid up for

He seemed a little taken aback standing there watching me. Was he going to let me in or not? “Is everything okay?” I asked, worried that I might have come at a bad time.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.1599999999999997; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

I…I…always wear my hair up when I’m working,” I stuttered, realising he must have been annoyed that I’d worn my hair down today. Maybe he wanted to draw me with my hair up. I knew some artists visualised their work before even beginning to draw it. That was how I always used to do it anyway.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.1599999999999997; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

I was just about to make myself some coffee. Would you like a cup?”</span></div>

Black with one sugar,” I replied before wandering into the living room. I tried to shove my slight nervousness down to the bottom of my stomach. Could I really do this?</span></div>

I realized we had another thing in common as I took in the charcoal pencils and large, white canvas. Some of his art equipment looked old, as if it had been handed down to him. I wasn’t sure why I was so intrigued to find out more about this man, but I wanted to know everything I could.</span></div>

I’d become absorbed with looking around at his art materials. It had been so long since I’d seen any paraphernalia like this. </span></div>

I couldn’t help but notice we both took our coffee black, and it made me wonder if he took one sugar, too. “So, where do you want me?” I’d just made myself sound like a hooker.</span></div>

I was blushing as I walked over to the stool. Would I ever stop making myself look like an idiot in front of this man?</span></div>

I’d never done anything like this before. Most artists preferred being behind the canvas, and I was no exception. This was a little too exposed compared to what I had been used to. Deep down, I knew I was only doing it because of Max.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

The men she falls for only want one thing from her, and it isn’t commitment. When her boss and on/off fling announces his engagement to another woman, she finds herself running from her feelings for him by taking a job as a personal assistant to the legendary rock god, Alex Harbour—half a world away. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

Conflicted by her emotions, she begins a love/hate relationship with the egotistical rock star.</span></div>

She is determined to keep her distance from her childhood crush, by any means necessary. </span></div>

I’d never been in the penthouse suites of the Dorchester in London before. I was hoping I could take a look around at some point.</span></div>

The press will be arriving later today, so we’ll need the space. It gets a little crazy.” I quickly followed her as she opened the grand, double doors in front of us. “You can wait here. Help yourself to anything you’d like.” She gestured toward the corner of the room where tea, coffee, and delicate pastries were on display. With a quick glance at me, she left me alone in the room. </span></div>

From talking to Gina, I’d gathered this PA job was for a man. Now my mind was racing, wondering who it could be. I walked over to the corner of the room to pour myself a cup of coffee while I pondered that thought. Maybe it was a new and upcoming artist. It would be exciting to witness everything first hand.</span></div>

Did another woman make it through to the second stage already? I hadn’t even been upstairs for ten minutes.</span></div>

Alex Harbour was across the room, frowning at me. The teenager inside me took charge, and I stood there drinking him in. Christ, the man was sexy! He was a walking orgasm. Clearly, it wasn’t photoshop that made him look good, either. He was seriously just </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">that</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> hot!

I’m not sure I completely succeeded, though. His legendary white V neck T-shirt clung to his well defined torso, and revealed part of the crucifix tattoo on his upper chest. Most of the skin on his arms was covered, but I knew every detail about his tattoos, anyway. They were forever embedded in my memory. His light brown hair was much shorter but still unruly, and as he drew closer toward me, his piercing, clear blue eyes began to make my heart race. </span></div>

Was this job to be his PA? I couldn’t do that! I was on the verge of an orgasm just looking at him!</span></div>

We’ll need to make this quick,” he tutted. I frowned, trying to snap out of the ridiculous daze I was in. I didn’t even register what he meant until he began to undo the belt on his jeans. “Start stripping. I don’t have time to take your clothes off, too. We only have a few minutes at the most.” </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What? </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Was he for real? “Gorgeous, clothes…now.

As I ran my fingertips down her bare back, her breath hitched. “Go and sit in the middle of the bed,” I ordered. She did as I asked, which surprised me. I’d learned how forceful Jade could actually be in the bedroom, and I was looking forward to watching the dynamics of our relationship. It was clear we both liked to lead.</span></div>

I now knew she was far from that, and I loved her even more for it. Quickly, I stripped in front of her. Her eye’s were fixed on me as I crawled up the bed. My cock was already standing tall and proud. She was still wearing her panties, but I planned on ruining them like all the others before.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“I’m going to caress every inch of your skin with my fingers and lips,” I whispered, sucking on her earlobe. At my words, she went slack against my chest. I began at her shoulder, exploring my way across her back to her other shoulder. My hand moved around to her front, massaging her breasts, teasing her nipples by rolling my thumbs over them. Her head fell back and rested in the crook of my neck as I moved my hands lower over her ribs. “Spread your legs, Beautiful.” I couldn’t wait to see how wet she was for me already. I moved closer, using my own legs as leverage to keep hers apart. I was about to drive her crazy, and I wanted her legs open as wide as possible for it. I wanted her orgasms to ripple through her entire body. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

She was gloriously wet. </span></div>

You seem to have that effect on me.” I chuckled, pulling on her earlobe with my teeth, which caused her to inhale sharply. Even now it amazed me that I could have this kind of power over her. I mean, she was a Seductor, or had been a few hours ago. Surely she’d met many CEOs in her line of work, but I must have been different. I’d seen it in her eyes when I found her in San Francisco…maybe even sooner. Jade loved me. I may have gone to the extreme in setting her free, but she was it for me. I would never want anyone else. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jade began to fight against my legs holding hers. She was close, I could feel her body begin to convulse as I continued to tease her clit. “You’ll need to absorb the pleasure, Beautiful. I’m not going to let you move.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“O…Oh, please,” she begged. I held her tighter, quickening my pace. Then she fell, screaming out my name while she struggled to control her orgasm. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“That’s what it feels like to be truly mine,” I purred into her ear moments later.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“I’m an extremely lucky lady,” she panted, turning to look at me while she caught her breath. We were both lucky. Jade had a playful look in her eye. Something told me it was payback, and I’d suffer gladly, all in the name of love. </span></div>

Always considering themselves to be friends with benefits, they opt to let loose and celebrate after landing a high-profile project with the best architecture firm in San Francisco.<br /><br />Callum Davis and Derek Flores have been the best friends since they met freshman year. While they've admitted their attraction to each other, neither have the courage to act on their feelings, both fearful of losing their friendship. At least, not until they meet Elle and Sadie at Club Venom.<br /><br />Elle, Sadie, Callum, and Derek embark on a life-changing journey that defies what society tells them is normal. But when you find yourselves in love with multiple partners, how do you choose? And what will happen when their families find out about their unconventional relationship? Is their forbidden awakening worth unraveling the secrets they've been keeping?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">“And when you moved to L.A., did you find what you needed there?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Nodding, he said, “A part of it. I was terrified to leave home, but when I met Callum, got to know him, I found someone I knew I could count on. Callum’s my best friend, Elle. I’ve cared about him for a long time.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">“Are you in love him?” Elle questioned. Derek opened his mouth to reply, but clamped his lips together before he could utter a sound. “You are, aren’t you? You’re in love with him.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">“I don’t know,” he admitted, sliding his hand onto her hip. “I don’t know what I feel right now. He’s everything I never knew he could be. In my family, men aren’t supposed to love each other like this, Elle. They’re not supposed to want to kiss them, to make love to them, but I do want to kiss Callum and make love to him. I just . . . I just want him.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">“Hey, you don’t have to explain that to me,” she groused. “My parents would disown me if they knew anything about you, Callum, and Sadie. I learned a long time ago not to expect their approval, Derek. And not just because of my attraction to Sadie, either. They made it clear that I wasn’t the daughter they wanted me to be, but I’m okay with that because I’m happy with who I am. I have Sadie, and you and Callum now. My sister and her fiancé love me, support me, and I’m all right, ya know?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">“You know I care about you, Elle, don’t you?” His tone was almost pleading. “You and Sadie — you’re not just a causal fuck for me or Callum. It’s important that you know that you’re both important to us.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">“Of course I do,” she murmured, trying to keep her emotions from betraying her. “I care about you, too, Derek. So much that it scares me.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">“What scares you?” he whispered.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Elle’s eyes closed, and she took a ragged breath. “I don’t want to lose you. The thought of not having you in my life makes my heart ache.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">“Look at me,” he ordered and her eyes opened in a heartbeat. “We are <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not </i>leaving you, at least not unless you want us to. Do you understand that? Callum and I will never pressure you to give us more than you feel comfortable with.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">All Elle could do as tears filled her eyes was nod. The warm drops sprinkled against her cheeks.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">“Don’t cry, beautiful,” he cooed, leaning forward and brushing his lips across hers. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">“Then don’t be so fucking sweet,” she whimpered, smiling through the cascade of tears. “I trust you, Derek. You, Callum, and Sadie — you’re everything I never thought I deserved.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">With a kick of his foot, Derek sent their dishes crashing to the floor before closing the small space between bodies and reminding Elle how much he wanted her.</span></div>

First and foremost, Lisa Bilbrey is a mom to three and a wife to one. She loves to write, and spends the majority of everyday writing. It's who she is, and what she's meant to be doing. Words are her life, the air she breathes, and the nutrients of her soul. Finding a love in the written word, Lisa Bilbrey started writing as a way to express herself and let her voice be heard. From the first word she wrote, she'd found her heart and soul.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you could invent any gadget to help you as an author what would it be?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><i>That's hard because there is so much that helps me as an author. Music, coffee, sometimes wine, but I think if I could invent anything, it would be a time machine. As a lot of authors, I work, I have children, I have responsibilities. And of course, they come first, but I'd love to be able to just pause time and be able to write without worry about how late it is, or who is cooking dinner. So, yeah, I think I'd invent a time machine.... Or maybe, a coffee IV. </i></span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>I took my place right by the pole, and even though the room was nearly pitch black, I could feel several people watching me. When the music started and the lights came on over the stage, I placed one hand on the pole and circled it, making eye contact with as many of the men in the front as I could. I made it all the way around and then bucked my hips into the cold metal, sliding up and down a few times before spinning around it again. </b></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>I had a few tricks in my arsenal, but I wanted to save those for a little later on in the song. Still gripping the pole, I walked halfway around so my back was to the crowd. There were loud catcalls and wolf whistles when I started shaking my hips to the beat of the music. They got even louder as I hooked my left leg around the pole and spun in quick circles until my ass was on the ground and the pole was between my legs. Using my hands as leverage, I planted my feet and lifted my hips, thrusting against the shiny object seductively.</b></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Men from the tables in the back of the room rose from their seats and were closing in on the stage area. Figuring it was now or never, I got to my feet and shimmied around again. Facing away from the audience, I placed my hands high on the pole and jumped up, straddling it and squeezing my thighs together to hold me in place. Arching my back, I released my hands and used my stomach muscles to support me as I flashed some cleavage at the patrons. After a few seconds of holding the position and nearly falling out of my top, I straightened up and slid my way down the pole, shaking my ass and earning more whistles.</b></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>When I spun around, my eyes met with Ryan’s for a brief moment. I couldn’t help but smirk at him and toss my hair over my shoulder as I continued to dance. Was it possible that god-like creature wanted me? The mere thought of it turned me on more than anything ever had.</b></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>I made a full circle on the pole when I saw him waving a hundred dollar bill around, trying to get me to come over. Feeling overly confident and wanting to fuck with him a bit, I sauntered over and shimmied my hips just inches from his face. His eyes were locked on my covered pussy, and I could have sworn I saw him lick his lips. An image of him between my legs flashed through my mind, and I felt myself getting damp with arousal. Shaking my head slightly to clear it, I continued with my dance.</b></span></div>

He wasn’t supposed to touch me anyway. At least…I didn’t think he was. None of the customers were ever allowed to touch the dancers according to what I’d been told. Carlo had said that Ryan ran the club, though, so I wondered if that meant he was an exception and could do what he wanted. That thought both thrilled and terrified me.</b></span></div>

His eyes were focused on my tits, which were nearly bursting out of my bikini top as I began to make my way toward him, so without him even noticing, I pulled the money from his hand with my teeth.</b></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Summary: </span></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Falling in love is never easy, but when you’re a Seductor who has
fallen for your target, it’s impossible. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Now that Jade has learned the whereabouts of the powercore made by
Oliver’s company, her mission is almost over. The chances of being able to stay
with him at the end of her contract are slim and she knows that. Would her
organization really keep their word? When has a Seductor ever been able to stay
with their mark?</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">When disaster strikes near the end of her assignment, Jade is
faced with the biggest decision of her life—she must choose between her heart’s
desire and doing the right thing for the sake of the world. Her choice may just
be the catalyst that sets her free.</span><span style="font-family: "Times
New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">What happens when the truth comes out? Will Oliver be able to let
her go this time? Or will their love for each other be enough to finally bring
The Seductors down?</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">One thing is for certain—devotion will seal their fate.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">I loved spending time in Macon with
Oliver and his family, but I was glad once we got back to New York. I had him
all to myself, and as selfish as it sounded, I loved it when we were alone. New
York held the most memories for me with him. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“I think your uncle is warming to me,”
I mused as we sat eating the dinner that Mrs. Davis had prepared for us. “He
actually wished me a safe trip when we left this morning.” </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“It’s definitely progress,” Oliver
chuckled. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Now that we’re back in New York, you
need to tell me what you want to do for your birthday. It’s only a few weeks
away.”</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Well, we are fucking on my desk at
work for sure. You promised me,” he winked, licking his lips. Damn him! He was
too sexy for words. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“You’re sex crazed,” I giggled, shaking
my head. “What about going out to dinner somewhere? We could go away for a
weekend, too.” </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“A dirty weekend away?” I threw my
napkin at him. “What?”</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Stop thinking about sex!”</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“That’s difficult. I happen to have an
incredibly sexy girlfriend that I want to fuck <i>all</i> the time.” </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Oliver!”</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“If you think about it, you’re the
reason I’m sex crazed. This is your <i>entire</i> fault, Jade.” </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Oh, that’s right—blame it all on me,”
I laughed, taking a sip of wine. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Do you have any idea how happy you
make me?”</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“No, but I know how happy you make me.”
</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“I’m not hungry anymore.” Oliver
suddenly had that look in his eyes again. The ‘<i>I’m going to rip the clothes
from your body and fuck you</i>’ look. Instantly, I had to hold my legs
together. It looked like he was going to try a prove a point. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“You’ve hardly eaten. I hope you’re not
coming down with anything,” I replied, innocently. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“I’m not <i>coming down</i> with anything,
but I certainly will be <i>going down </i>on something tonight.” </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Oh, God,” I whimpered, choking on my
sip of wine. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“All this sex talk is making me horny.
I’m going to give you a thirty second head start, then I’m planning on making
you cum as many times as I can on my staircase. There are thirty four steps
total. I’m thinking that’s at least ten orgasms I’ll be able to give you, maybe
more, until I throw you on my bed and slide my cock inside you.” I couldn’t
move. I sat there gawking at him. <i>Ten orgasms.</i> I couldn’t handle that!
“Run Jade, I mean it. I’ll start on this table if I have to.” I stood up and
ran. My heart was pounding hard in my chest. Why was I running anyway? I wanted
Oliver to catch me.</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt;
mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">I managed five steps on the staircase
before he caught me from behind. “That was a feeble attempt to try and get
away. Anyone would think you wanted me to catch you,” he whispered into my ear,
sucking on my earlobe as his hands moved to undo the buttons on my jeans. “I’m
going to drive you crazy, Beautiful. I hope you’re ready.” I couldn’t answer;
his hands had already slipped inside my jeans and I was lost. Oliver began to
put pressure on my sex through my panties. Why didn’t he just push my panties
to the side? It was so frustrating. “Do you like that, Beautiful? I can feel
your panties getting damper. How many pairs have I ruined now?”</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Too many to count,” I panted, gripping
the banister for support as he sped up the movement of his hand. “W…What about
Mrs. Davis?”</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“She’s staying with a friend tonight.
We’re all alone.” I could hear his smirk as he planted kisses down my neck.
Starting to climb already, I knew my first orgasm was quickly approaching.
“That’s it, Jade, give it up. I want to hear you let it all out.”<i> </i>I
came, groaning out a string of nonsensical words, trying to hold myself up as I
came undone. “I’ll give you a minute this time to compose yourself and run.”</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Are you being serious?” I gasped,
still clutching the stairs. “I can hardly stand!”</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“A minute and a half then,” he smirked,
tilting his head. “You can manage a few more steps, Jade.” I wasn’t sure I
could. “Just put one foot in front of the other.” </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Alright, Mr. Cocky.” </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Interesting choice of words.” I rolled
my eyes and began to take a few unsteady steps, but it was difficult when I was
still in a state of bliss. “You’re making this too easy,” he chuckled, pulling
me so I was facing him. He backed me against the railing, gazing down at my
chest. With one swift tug, he pulled my top over my head. “I’ll never get
enough of undressing you,” he mused, running his fingertips across the top of
my breasts and then into my bra, stroking my aching nipples. While his one hand
continued to tease my sensitive skin, his other went south and slid right
inside my panties. “Fuck, I got you well and truly worked up, didn’t I?” He ran
his fingers through my slick folds, and I had to bite my lip to fight the
pleasure. I had no control over myself when it came this man. “Shit, I can’t
wait to fuck you. I can feel my cock already leaking at the thought.” </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Ugh, Oliver, you can’t say stuff like
that to me!”</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Is gets you excited. I know you love
it when I talk dirty.” He slid his fingers inside me and began another
excruciating pace. “Do you know what I’m going to do after this?” he whispered,
biting down on my left nipple through my bra. I couldn’t help but cry out—it
felt amazing. “I’m going to strip you naked and taste you. You know I love
eating you out.” I wasn’t going to survive the night, but if this was how it

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Jade has worked as a Seductor in a
secret organization for five years now. Her main job? To earn the trust of her

any means necessary. She’s damn good at it, too. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"></span></div>

young CEO of Kirkham Industries, a weapons manufacturing company, and is
currently in possession of some very important blueprints—blueprints that could
change the way war, as we know it, works. He’s extremely focused and doesn’t
have time to date, at least until he comes to the rescue of a shy but very
alluring Jade Gibbs. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When Jade walked out on Oliver six
months ago, she left her heart behind. Little did she know her mission was far
from over. Given a new mission—to secure a secret nuclear power core—she’s
thrown back into his world and has to earn his trust once more. The only
problem is that she’s competing directly with another Seductor that she
despises, who has already been on the mission for two months.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Oliver was devastated when he
discovered Jade had left him, so he closed himself off to the world, focusing
solely on his job. Everything is thrown into chaos when she resurfaces, working
for an old friend of his. </span></div>
<div style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Will Jade be able to win Oliver back
while fighting her jealously that another Seductor might steal the mission from
her? Consumed with love, controlled by a hunger she has never known, can she
protect her heart a second time around if Oliver takes her back? </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">She stared out
across a crowded London square, unknowing, unseeing, the serenity of her face
captured in the flat surface of the theatrical poster. The light noon rain ran
down in small diagonal rivers across her, crinkling the smooth plain of her
forehead and the gentle cut of her jaw. She wept, large, abandoned tears that
warred with the lovely turn of her mouth.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">Many of those who
had come to Leicester Square, hunting for half-price theater tickets,
gravitated to her, beckoned by her eyes, lured on by the legend of mist and
mystery that surrounded her. A few balked at the price of “An Intimate Evening
with Cat Courtney.” Others realized to their sorrow that they had conflicting
tickets, meals planned with in-laws, flights to catch. Three nights only,
announced the poster, and this, unfortunately, was the last night.</span></span></div>

</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">She smiled out at

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">The American
tourist who came walking into the square, his daughter by his side, did not
notice her at first. The rain had stopped for a few minutes, and other matters
engaged him: folding up a handy umbrella, glancing at his watch, reading a
guide book over his daughter’s shoulder. For one minute longer, he remained
merely a tourist on a much-needed vacation. For one minute longer, the Great
Cat never crossed his mind.</span></span></div>

</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">But the Great Cat
could wait, and for this man she would wait forever.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">She had left him
a decade before, both of them reeling from the blood of their folly, in a
deserted cottage on a desolate shore on the other side of the world. Had she
eyes to see, she would know him instantly.</span></span></div>

</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">Eventually, respite
ended. Eventually, Richard Ashmore lifted his head, his eyes scanning across
the theatrical posters, in search of an evening’s entertainment suitable for a
young girl. The titles made little impression – <i>Les Miserables, The
Graduate, Noises Off</i> – until he saw her and everything around her blurred
into oblivion.</span></span></div>

Richard closed his fingers around hers, a talisman to ward memory off. “Don’t
get your hopes up, Julie. Her concerts usually sell out.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">“Let’s ask over
there,” suggested his daughter, pointing across the square to the ticket kiosk.
“Maybe someone bought tickets and can’t go. Maybe someone dropped their
tickets, and someone turned them in. Maybe —”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">“Maybe, maybe,
maybe,” he teased, but already he was allowing her to drag him across the
stones towards the waiting queue.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">They took their
places in line. Julie was glowing with excitement, the happiest Richard had
seen her since the morning before her grandparents had died. He was less
optimistic. Others ahead of them had requested tickets, and the possibility of
stray tickets lessened as they moved up the line. He sought to cushion her
against disappointment by letting her plan the afternoon. They were only a
couple of blocks from the National Gallery, or would she prefer to hop the tube
for Harrods?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">“Harrods,” said
Julie immediately. “And tea, Dad.” She leaned in against him to look at his
guidebook. “I have my birthday money from Lucy. I want to get something to wear
to the concert.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">“Keep your money,
kitten.” He wished that they had never seen the poster. Selfish, yes, but if
meeting her eyes in a poster disturbed him, how would he feel to see her again,
even in the black anonymity of an audience? Better not to know, better to go
back to an occasional evening of listening to her songs in the dark and trying
to make some sense of what had happened.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">And Julie had
endured enough recently.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">They were second
in line now, behind a couple attempting to get tickets to the latest Andrew
Lloyd Webber. Good luck, thought Richard, who had tried for three months. They
bought him a few minutes of reprieve while they settled for a sex comedy
instead.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">“Two for Cat
Courtney,” he said, and if the gods had been with him, just this once, he would
have been told in that inimitable British way<i>, Sorry, sir, but that show has
just sold out....</i></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino
Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">“Yes, a few
tickets have been turned in,” and his fate was sealed. He and Julie looked at
the seating chart. She sparkled as she so seldom did, and as he paid for the
tickets he thought that he would bear any pain, any guilt, to see that look on
her face.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">“Those are good
seats,” said the man behind him, another American from the sound of him. “I’ve
seen her before, and she’s worth twice the price.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">Julie forgot her
usual shyness with strangers. “I can’t wait! I’ve wanted to see her for so long
—”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">A woman with a
Southern accent said kindly, “You know, darlin’, you’re just the picture of
her.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">“Thank you,” said
Julie. “I’m glad I am. She’s my aunt.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">And Richard
Ashmore looked at the tickets and realized, with a shock, that it was June 9,
and he had been married for seventeen years.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="HeadingRunIn" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 9.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 9.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-text-indent-alt: 14.0pt; page-break-after: auto; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Nymphette; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;"><span>e</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Nymphette; font-size: 18.0pt; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Nymphette; mso-font-width: 100%;"></span></div>
<div class="HeadingRunIn" style="line-height: 150%; margin-top: 0in; page-break-after: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;">In
his life, Richard Ashmore had made three mistakes with women. Not that three
was so unusual; no man reached his thirties without suffering the particular
pain that women could inflict and without inflicting it in return. He was
luckier than most men, perhaps, for he had erred early and grievously, and
caution had been driven into him like a bullet. He carried with him permanent
reminders of his follies: a marriage gone disastrously wrong, the painful
conscience that he had not always been the upright man his daughter loved, a
shoulder that ached in cold weather.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">Ah, Diana,
unattainable once attained, a monumental mistake made in all the first flush of
adolescent desire and pride. Too young to marry, too blindly in love to
recognize the ice behind her eyes, he had turned a deaf ear to his father’s
warning that his princess was hollow at her core.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">Francie,
silver-quick smile and hungry eyes, and his own need for the warmth of a
woman’s arms. The dangerous combination of a magnum of champagne on New Year’s
Eve and three years of exile from his marriage bed had erupted into a
springtime of madness. The gods had demanded their due: a marriage wrecked
beyond salvage, a family foundered, two young women cast adrift.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">And the third....
Oh, but even now, all these years later, he stood before her picture, and he
still did not understand. She watched him from the poster, more animated in
flat gray and white than he had ever known her. But he knew those eyes. He knew
how they adored him, how they burned in fever and desire, how they haunted odd
moments of the day and dark pockets of the night.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">Diana. Francie.
Laura the Cat.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="Body" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 14pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; line-height: 150%;">He supposed he
had a special weakness for shuttered eyes that invited a man in with promises
implied and unkept, for wild autumn hair spread gloriously across a pillow, for
tall, elegant figures and clear, sweet voices and beguiling, destructive ways.
They all three had this and more in common, and why not? They were sisters,
after all.</span></span></div>

Wealth, success, happiness, and true love; everything a man could ever dream of, was right at his fingertips. Or so he thought. But in the blink of an eye, all of that changed. Upon discovering that his ex-girlfriend, Olivia Hamilton, was pregnant, Drew fell back into some old habits, which led to him losing the one person that mattered the most in his life – McKenzie Evans.</span></div>

The night before she left, he made an agreement with her best friend Jared Christopher, that he would give her time and space to come to grips with the fact that he’d fathered her best friend’s child. Now, two months later, he feels as though he held up his end of the bargain, Drew can’t take their separation any longer. With his<br />brother’s wedding mere weeks away, Drew devises a plan to win McKenzie back.</span></div>

Only Mickie was allowed to call me that. Just because my name was Andrew, didn’t mean people should call me Andy. Andrew or Drew was fine with me, but never Andy. That was my twin sister’s nickname, after all.</span></div>

She missed me. The evidence was there in the sound of her voice. Fine, the evidence was hearsay, but this wasn’t a court of law, so it was admissible. She called me by name, hoping it was me on the other end of the line.</span></div>

I needed to know that she missed me too, that I wasn’t alone in my heartache. I wanted to reveal myself, but I feared it would ruin my upcoming plans. Only one person knew what I was about to do and that was because he was intricate to my plans. All I needed was for Jared or Gavin to get wind of my trip to Amarillo. There was no doubt in my mind that they’d try to stop me. So, instead of acting on instinct, I sat there like a fool, listening to her breathe.</span></div>

She had spoken to me. To hear her call me by name was an answer to my prayers. It only solidified my<br />decision to get off of my ass and fly to Texas. I’d waited like Jared and Gavin demanded. Two long, miserable months, I’d waited. Not a single drop of liquor had touched my lips since that night, no matter how bad I wanted a drink. I’d been patient, keeping my distance, well, in a way. Sure, the flowers didn’t equate to distance, but she hadn’t told Jared about them as far as I knew. I was sure if she had, I’d never hear the end of it. So, to me, that was a signal that she wasn’t over me any more than I was her. They were lucky I’d lasted this long. Patience was not one of my virtues. The time had come, and I was getting my girl back.</span></div>

She wrote her first short story when she was twelve years old, and at the age of sixteen she tried her hand at poetry. She reconnected with her love for writing in 2010 thanks to the encouragement of a dear friend.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">McKenzie: Hiya. It’s nice to finally meet you. Andy has told me so many wonderful things about you.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Drew: *leaning over, placing a kiss to Bee’s cheek* Hey there, gorgeous. It’s a pleasure to be with you again today. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So, I have to admit, you two left me with a broken heart at the end of The Truth in Lies. You both go through quite a journey in The Certainty of Deception. How are you both feeling now?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">McKenzie: Ah, well, I’m sorry about that, Ms. Bee. I hate knowing we left you with a broken heart. *frowns, glancing over to Drew* As for how I’m feeling, I’m a bundle of emotions right now. Happy to be back with Drew *patting Drew’s knee* but scared to death of facing Liv again.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Drew: I’m quite sorry that we left you like that. You were not the only one. I feel that my emotions have been all over the place. For awhile I felt like I was fighting a battle that I was going to lose. *grabbing McKenzie’s hand* But being with her was worth every battle I fought and the one that is about to happen. *bringing McKenzie’s hand to my lips kissing it softly* She’s absolutely worth it. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">McKenzie how did it feel having this book told in Drew’s point of view? Did you learn anything new about him while he told your story?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When Jeanne approached us about the second book, she initially wanted it from my point of view. But my boy here, *squeezing Drew’s hand* had other plans. He had to tell his story, his way, and I feel blessed to have been a part of it. I learned so much about this wonderful man. All this time I’d felt as if he understood me, but didn’t understand why or how he could. Now I do. He’s faced something that no one should ever have to endure, and while I know I’ve only scratched the surface, I can see a strength and bravery in him that amazes me. *leaning over, placing a sweet kiss on Drew’s cheek* </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And what about you Drew? How did it feel to have your say? You’ve taken massive steps in this book. (Plus you made me cry, but it’s okay, I forgive you.) You are an amazingly strong man in the way you dealt with your past. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s about time I got my say. *laughing* I loved that book one was told from Mickie’s point of view. It really showed how we go our start, but the ending made me look like a complete asshole, which I must admit I was. Not intentionally, of course, but still an asshole. As we all know, there’s always two sides to every story and I’m glad that I was able to tell mine. There was a lot that needed to be explained, and in the end, I think we did exactly that.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">*looking down a bit, tracing my thumb over McKenzie’s* Thank you for such a sweet compliment, but I don’t feel amazing. I continue to struggle with my past, but I believe that I’m heading down the road to healing. Also, I want to apologize for making you cry. That was never my intention. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Can we just talk music for a moment. So, Country music and Rock music, they say opposites attract. I love that you two are so different yet so similar at the same time. Would you agree with me? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">McKenzie: *laughing* There is a fine line between Rock and Country music. I don’t see them as different. I mean, c’mon, Lynyrd Skynyrd! Rock and Country rolled in one! *glancing at Drew to catch him covering face in with his free hand* But, to answer your question, Ms. Bee, I do agree. We are quite different and yet oddly similar. It works for us.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Drew: *looking over at Mickie* Sweetheart, they are different. I don’t care how much you try to convince me otherwise. I listen to Country music because of you. Rock music speaks to me. I need to feel the beat of the music, not feel the emotion of a Country singer walling in his own misery. I have had enough of that in my own life. It does work for us. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">McKenzie: I said a fine line *drawing a line in the air with my finger* - operative words there, my darling. I love rock music. Everyone knows I love me some Hinder, but I don’t need Korn screaming in my ear. If I want to listen to screaming, I go watch Jared and Liv go at it. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Drew: Fine line my ass, woman. *realizing what you said, gasping* Hinder!? Did you just say Hinder? God woman, how can I love you when you like Hinder? *shaking my head* Now Korn is a great band, especially when driving and working out. And why would you want to go listen to Jared and the rubber duck scream at each other? That’s like pure torture. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">McKenzie: *looking back to Ms. Bee* Do you see what I must endure? This man has no clue what good music is. *laughing, glancing at Drew* At the rate we’re going, she’s never going to invite us back. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Drew: Of course she’ll invite ME back. I’m perfect. *grinning wide* And I know what good music is woman, I just don’t like Hinder. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">McKenzie: For God’s sake, man. Hush! *turning to Ms. Bee* Please, proceed. *smiling*</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">McKenzie: We’ve unleashed the beast, Ms Bee. *laughs* In all honesty, I find Drew’s compassion toward cats to be endearing and a very sexy quality in him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What’s the next step? I know you’ll be together, but are you apprehensive about Olivia and what others will say? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">McKenzie: *shifts awkwardly in my seat* Drew seems to think that I shouldn’t worry about everyone else, especially Olivia, but I beg to differ. She’s been my friend since college. I simply can’t turn my back on that. She’s going to be crushed when we tell her about us, and with her being pregnant, I do worry. But I have hopes that we can get past this and all move on to being happy and friends again...someday.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Drew: *squeezing McKenzie’s hand* You shouldn’t worry about it, Beautiful. I do understand that Olivia is your friend, but in my defense things were never serious with her. It was just a casual thing. That relationship was never going anywhere despite what she has ever said. I felt nothing for her and I knew in my heart I would never feel anything. That spark was never there. I feel that spark with you, my darling angel. But I do want to make clear that if that baby is mine, I will be a good father to that child. I would never turn my back on the baby. Maybe one day we all could be friends again, but I doubt that will never happen. As for what others think, I could give a flying fuck what others think. This is my life and I want to be happy, not miserable. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">McKenzie: *leaning over, pressing a tender kiss to Drew’s lips* I know now that you never loved her. I only hope that you two can come to some sort of an agreement in regards to the baby. You’re a good man.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This one is for Drew. Do you really believe that you are the father of Olivia’s baby?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Drew: *crossing my legs, resting mine and McKenzie’s hands over my knee* To be honest, I don’t see how I’m not the father. Everything indicates that I am. The timing is right. My drunken stupidity makes me the prime candidate, and unless Olivia cheated on me, which I don’t find very likely, there’s no one else. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">*dropping my eyes to our hands, rubbing my thumb along McKenzie’s* My biggest struggle is that I don’t feel a connection with the child that I know I’m supposed to. I’ve been here before. I know what it feels like to have that excitement of becoming a father, yet I feel nothing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">McKenzie: You can’t beat yourself up for that, baby. You’ve been through something so traumatic that it’s not uncommon for there to be a disconnect. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And McKenzie, how are you feeling about returning back home with Drew? </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">McKenzie: I’m excited and a little nervous. So much has happened, but I know this is the right move. It was presumptuous of me to leave as I did. Feelings were hurt, lives were changed, and I reacted as I usually do - rash and spontaneous. *smiling at Drew, squeezing his hand* We deserve our chance. It was taken away from us prematurely and I can’t see why fate would bring us together if we weren’t meant to be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But first we’ve got to deal with Boston. Now, talk about being nervous. Meeting Drew’s mother and father scares the shit out of me. *laughs*</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Drew: *laughs, bringing McKenzie’s hand to my lip* I know that feeling all too well. Seeing my mother and father again scare the shit out of me as well. I’m also nervous as fuck because it feels like I’m taking Mickie into the lion’s den. I know how my parents are, but we’ll be together and that’s all that matters to me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Well, I think that’s it. I can’t wait for book three. Do you have any inside information you could give me about that next book? </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">McKenzie: Inside information? *taps chin* Let’s see. I’m pregnant. *laughs*</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Drew: *looking over at McKenzie, stunned* Are you fucking serious?! You’re pregnant!?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">McKenzie: *releasing Drew’s hand, buckling over in laughter at the look on Drew and Bee’s faces* No, I’m not pregnant, but the look on both of your faces is priceless!</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Drew: *resting my hand over my heart* Jesus, woman. You nearly gave me a heart attack there. Don’t do that to man.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">McKenzie: Sorry. I couldn’t resist. *leans over, pressing a kiss to Drew’s cheek* Now, to actually answer Ms. Bee’s question. The next book is titled </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Truth Be Told</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and will be written in both mine and Drew’s points of view. The release date hasn’t been set yet, but I know Jeanne wants it out by the beginning of next year at the latest. The story will continue right where we left off, with us arriving in Boston. I look forward to what’s about to happen. Drew got to see where I grew up, now it’s my turn. *turning to Drew* Is there anything you want to add, handsome?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Drew: I think you summed it up quite nice, beautiful. *grins* And just so you know I’m so going to get you back for giving a man a heart attack. That was so not cool. *laughs* </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">McKenzie: *waves you off* Yeah, yeah. You’re all talk. *winks*</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When
Jade walked out on Oliver six months ago, she left her heart behind. Little did
she know her mission was far from over. Given a new mission—to secure a secret
nuclear power core—she’s thrown back into his world and has to earn his trust
once more. The only problem is that she’s competing directly with another
Seductor that she despises, who has already been on the mission for two months.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Oliver
was devastated when he discovered Jade had left him, so he closed himself off
to the world, focusing solely on his job. Everything is thrown into chaos when
she resurfaces, working for an old friend of his. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Will
Jade be able to win Oliver back while fighting her jealously that another
Seductor might steal the mission from her? Consumed with love, controlled by a
hunger she has never known, can she protect her heart a second time around if
Oliver takes her back? </span></div>

</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“I
heard you were back.” I groaned internally as Mario spoke from behind me in the
laundry room a little later. “Did Miss S put you on lockdown again?” he mocked.
</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“You’re
not funny, Mario.” I didn’t even look up at him as I continued to fold my
clothes.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“I
really thought I’d break you while you were cooped up in here. I was hoping
you’d take your frustration out on me.” By the level of his voice, I could tell
that he was right behind me. I turned around quickly, pushing his chest before
he laid a finger on me.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“How
many times do I have to tell you, this isn’t a game? I’m <i>not</i> fucking
interested!” I seethed, barging past him. Mario grabbed my waist, trying to
pull me toward him.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Another
few weeks and I would have had you. You wouldn’t be a Seductor if you weren’t
addicted to sex like me. You’re only holding back because you don’t want to get
attached. We’d be good together and you know it. I could give that sweet pussy
of yours a real good beating if you just let go.” I lost it, slamming the heel
of my shoe hard into his foot. <i>Me</i> get attached to Mario’s cock? I was
wrong—this guy was hilarious. “Oww…you fucking bitch!” he yelled, hopping
around while clutching his injured foot. I didn’t even try to hide my snigger
as I walked past him. <i>You deserved that, Mario!</i></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">I
was still chuckling to myself when I bumped into Molly in the hallway.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Sonia
is ready to see you now.” She had a worried look on her face.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“What’s
wrong?”</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Alicia
came to get you.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“She’s
back? I thought she wasn’t due back for a progress report for another few
weeks.” My mind was racing. Why the hell would Alicia come to get me? It didn’t
make any sense; Sonia knew I hated her.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Sonia
wanted her back early. I’m not sure things are going too well with the
mission.” Molly followed me back to my room. “What if your theory is right and
Alicia has been with Oliver these last few months?” I dumped my clean clothes
on my bed, trying to compose myself. I was making Molly paranoid now, and that
wasn’t good. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Why
would Oliver become a target again? It doesn’t make any sense. You and Georgie
have been telling me that for months.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“I
don’t know, but it all seems a little strange to me.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“You’re
really not helping. You’re supposed to say that I’ve gone crazy. Do you know
how ridiculous this all sounds?” I threw my arms up in the air in frustration.
</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Go
and see Miss S and finally put your mind at rest. Georgie and I know it’s been
eating away at you. You need answers, Jade.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“I can’t hide anything from
you two, can I?” I sighed, grabbing my phone. Molly was right—I couldn’t put it
off any longer. I needed to find out what was going on.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Alicia
was standing outside Sonia’s office, talking on her phone when I arrived.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“No,
really, it was me. I was clearly reading the signs wrong. I can’t apologize
enough.” Alicia’s eyes gleamed with smugness when she caught sight of me
entering Sonia’s office. What was all that about? “We’ll forget it ever
happened. I shouldn’t have crossed my professional boundaries. I don’t want
this to come between us…” I didn’t bother to listen to the rest of her
conversation as my eyes caught Sonia.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Jade,”
she said as she stood up from behind her desk. That was new. Sonia never stood
up for anyone. “You can close the door.” I closed it with a puzzled look on my
face. “Alicia doesn’t know I’m bringing you in on this mission yet.” It <i>was</i>
a mission! Thank God! No, wait…if Sonia was bringing me in, it could only mean
one thing! <i>Damn it! </i></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“The
mission involves working with <i>Alicia</i>,” I groaned, taking a seat in front
of her desk. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad this <i>is</i> a mission, but do I
have to work with her? Can’t someone else do it?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“Jade,
I’m afraid you’re our only hope. I’m about to go against everything I’ve ever
done while running the Seductors, but I can’t see any other way around it.
Alicia has been on this case for almost two months and has gotten nowhere.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“You
want me to take over Alicia’s mission?” I frowned. Since when had Alicia had a
problem seducing a man? Everything started to dawn on me then, and I clutched
the arms of my chair tightly.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“I need the two of you to work together. This
steal…it’s asking a lot. We aren’t even sure if it exists.” Now Sonia was
losing me. “If we secure what we’ve been hired to find, our clients are willing
to pay over one hundred million dollars. Maybe even more. There is no real
price for it.” I was sure my mouth fell to the floor. <i>One hundred
million dollars</i>? What the hell was the steal? “Jade, I’m asking a lot of
you here, but I’ve hit a wall. If Alicia can’t work her magic, it can only mean
one thing.” With bated breath, I was hanging on her every word. “He isn’t over
you.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></div>

until he comes to the rescue of a shy but very alluring Jade Gibbs. </span></div>

When Carter is killed in combat, he left behind his heartbroken wife, Avery and his shattered best friend Remy. Naturally these two, wounded souls gravitate together, irresistibly drawn by the loss of the one they both loved, as well as their deep friendship with each other. But when that friendship starts to turn into something more, new problems arise. Will Avery be able to move on after losing the love of her life?<br />
Will Remy be able to fill the void left by the loss if his best friend? Or will this new chance at love cost them all they have left?</div>

<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">She got into her seat and drove us to I-didn’t-know-where-yet. The music was playing softly in the car. I was having difficulty with noises, they were making me irritable but the melody was nice so I was okay. We were getting closer to Avery’s house. At least I hoped we were going to her house, because I was frightened to be alone. I needed her, in more than one way. When she turned to the right, I knew we were going to her place because my house was over on the left. I bit the inside of my cheeks to subdue a smile. A few seconds later, Avery parked the car in her driveway. She undid my safety belt, then hers. She got out of the car to help me out, then grabbed my bag and arm-in-arm we walked to her door.</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">”Calm down, girl. I’m not dying, I’m okay. I can feel your body trembling.”</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">”I can’t calm down, Remy.” She unlocked the door and pushed it open. ”I lost Carter, okay? He’s gone,” she cried. ”And I came this close,” she showed me a tiny gap between her fingers, ”this close, to losing you too, and that tore me apart.” She put my bag on the table. ”When Megan told me what happened, I passed out, because I couldn’t believe I was going to have to go through this again. We waited twenty-four hours before we finally got the news that you were alive.”</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I felt terrible. ”I’m sorry, girl, I’m so sorry.” I pulled her towards me and wrapped my arm around her. She cried and she sobbed against my t-shirt. Ave was in a terrible mess. ”I promised you I would come back, and I did.” I kissed her hair. ”I’m so sorry I had to come back in such a dramatic way.”</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">”You’re alive, Remy.” She almost never called me by my first name. ”It’s all that matters.”</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">”I know, Avery.”</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">We were silent for a moment, her sobs calming down and she regained control of herself. It broke my heart to see her like this, she’d seemed so strong at the hospital and I was just realizing it was a facade. In that instant, I knew we both needed rest and we both had a lot on our minds.</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">”I think I need to lay down, Ave, I’m getting a little dizzy. I’ll go to my room.” She squeezed me with all of her strength, one last time, before releasing me.</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I got to the guest room. There was a bouquet of daisies on the night table. She’d changed the sheets and comforter on the bed for a navy blue one. I made it to the bed just in time, my vision had gone blurry. I sat on the corner of the bed and closed my eyes. The fact that she wanted me to stay here was great, but damn, this was fucked up. She still continued to ignore everything I’d said to her. It made me anxious and the best thing I could do was lie down and chill out. Being around her was even harder now. I put my arm over my eyes, to hide away from the light in the room. Turning it off required too much physical effort for now.</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">”Remy, are you okay?” Her voice was low.</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">”Can you turn the light off, please?”</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">She did and then removed my shoes. I shifted up on the bed and she placed my legs under the comforter. ”Do you feel any pain?”</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">”It’s not too bad, I can manage.” My head hurt constantly, no matter what I did. In my shoulder, the bullet had torn a muscle and damaged the bone severely. They had to screw the bone together in three different places. It would never be as strong as it used to be, but at least I was alive.</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">”Okay…” She stayed in the room looking at me. It had me confused, did she want to talk or something?</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">”Is everything OK, Ave?” I needed to know.</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">She nodded. ”It’s just good to have you here. I missed you.”</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Okay, she was giving signs she wanted to talk, but I thought maybe she wasn’t ready just yet.</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">”I missed you too, girl.” I smiled.</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">She returned my smile with one of her own, she seemed suddenly shy and her cheeks flushed. ”I thought about what you said to me a lot. It scared me at first but then, I felt like I already knew about it. Things cleared up in my mind. How you were always looking after me, always making sure I was okay. I should have known, but I only had eyes for Carter. I still love and miss him every single day.” She took a deep breath and rubbed her eyes. ”But… I felt things were different prior to your deployment and I understand now. I didn’t hate it, I liked it. Being closer to you makes me feel better. I need it, but I can’t promise you more than that.”</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">”What are you saying, exactly, Avery?” I could feel a wave of tingles rush through my body. What did she mean? It was so out of character for her to be so shy.</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">”I’m saying I still love Carter, I probably always will, but I also like you and need to be around you. I can’t promise you anything, but we could try and see if it would work out.”</i><br />
<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">”I’m not a consolation prize, Avery.”</i></div>

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My emotions were all over the place when reading this book. Jude did an amazing job in setting the tone and pulling the reader right inside the story . I’ve never really been one for reading books with a Solider element, only because I’m a wuss when it comes to the emotion in them. I’m glad I snapped up the chance to read this little gem, though. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It centers around three close friends, Avery, Carter and Remy. Carter and Avery are very much in love and are about to get married. They met in the army, but Avery has since left. Carter has to go back on tour with Remy, shortly after the wedding. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The heart break begins when Carter is killed in action. When Remy returns he and Avery lean on each other to try and heal from the loss of Carter.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What follows is an emotional and beautiful love story. Remy has always loved Avery from the moment he met her, but knew Carter had been the one that captured her heart. Now, as they lean on each other, feelings begin to develop. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This book is told in a few different point of views, and I loved that. You really get inside off the characters minds, and it only added to the emotion of this story.</span></div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now, you know I’m not one for giving everything away, but if you like your stories emotional and beautifully told, grab a copy of Lost Dreams today. You won’t regret it. </span></span><br />

tried her hand at poetry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She

in chaos, writing stories about the skeletons hanging in your closets. Known as
The Realist, she is one half of The Elizabeths—a duo brave enough to never hide
the truth. Born and raised in Southern California, she’s a wife, mother of four
beautiful children, and dog tamer to one enthusiastic Pit Bull and a prissy
Chihuahua. She’s a hairstylist by day but contemporary fiction, new adult
author by night. Mary can often be found finger twirling her hair and chewing
on a stick of licorice while writing and rewriting a sentence over and over
until it’s perfect. She discovered her talent for tale-telling accidentally,
but literature is in her chokehold. And she’s not letting go until every story
is told.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

The biggest is the gift of friendship, old and new. Every day, I seem to be making new friends and I feel blessed to be involved in such an amazing industry.<br /><br />I don’t have lifetime goals like some authors do. I’m not bothered if I make it onto best selling lists, or get my books on bookshelves in large stores. Yes, it would be nice, but I’m an introvert, I don’t really want all that. It would freak me out. (My close friends know this about me.) I just want to write, plain and simple, and if people take the time to read and support me, well, I’d be grateful and honored that my stories touched them in a way that they wanted to write a review, share a post, or drop me a personal message.<br /><br />It’s not easy being an Indie Author, and I wouldn’t change it for the world, but I’m not in competition with anyone. We all have our own voice. No two writers are the same. Maybe if some authors spent less time being in competition with each other and just supported each other the world would be a happier place. (Not getting at anyone here, it's just things I have witnessed over the years) Who knows, but I know my way works. I have so many author and blogger friends, not only do they support me, but I gain advice and guidance. It’s a win win situation.<br /><br />I guess what I'm trying to say is… I’m just me, Bee, writing my stories, sharing them with my friends and readers.</span>Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08304212519380530140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6945899039739930044.post-62022677623318059412014-04-30T12:25:00.001-07:002014-04-30T12:30:25.086-07:00Malfunction Erotica is Now Open for Submissions!<h1 style="text-align: center;">Malfunction Erotica is Now Open for Submissions!</h1>
