Title: Family Fortune

Genre: Historical Romance
Release Date: November 15, 2016
Publisher: Hot Tree Publishing

Defying the restrictions of society, Emma Johnston plans to become a teacher and help broaden the lives of young women. Society, her father, and even her own heart betray her and leave her longing for a different life entirely.

After having run up considerable debt, Emma’s father needs her inheritance from her maternal grandfather and he has a plan that seems guaranteed to get it for him, until Roger Starnes steps in and rescues her.

Together, the headstrong heiress and her protector scheme to stop her father and allow her to live her life, on her terms.

“Good afternoon, Miss Johnston, Miss Duncan.” Emma turned and choked on a gasp of surprise. It was the young man she had seen the day before, following her about town and again this morning at church. Emma and Patti were both taken with the deep, intense blue color of his eyes. They were intelligent eyes, holding a sparkle of mischief and laughter in them. A lock of black hair had fallen over his forehead, giving him a somewhat dashing air. Many men strove for the look and failed to attain it, but this man wore it as if it were as natural to him as breathing.

“I fear you have me at a disadvantage, sir,” she said, not certain if she was more alarmed by his knowing her name or the thrill of excitement that ran through her as he introduced himself.

“Please forgive me. I know it is rather bold of me to introduce myself this way. My name is Roger Starnes. I am an associate of your grandfather. He has been kind enough to point you out to me on any number of occasions, but has not had the opportunity to introduce us as yet.”

“Oh,” was all Emma could think to say, her breathing unsteady.

“I must say, this is rather bold and unusual behavior, Mr. Starnes. Most gentlemen would wait to be introduced,” Patti reprimanded him gently.

“Yes, but the opportunity presented itself, and I was loath to waste it.” He smiled charmingly at Emma and Patti.

“Would you care to take another stroll around the lake? I will understand if you are quite tired of the sight, considering how many times you have been around it today.”

“Keeping tabs, are you?” Patti was protective. Emma let her talk for a moment, trying to regain control of herself.

“It’s hard not to keep track of the most beautiful girl here,” Roger replied.

“How many lines do you see?” Audrey asks.

“I’m not drunk, you know.”

“Maybe I am. Humor me.” We’re both kneeling on the cold tiles of the bathroom, but can’t seem to move from the spot.

“Two. Red. Lines.” I lick my lips. “And that means?”

She punches me in the shoulder. It’s like a kitten pawing at me. “Ash.”

“What?” I grin.

“You know very well what it means.” She starts to laugh, covering her face with her hands, and she sounds kinda hysterical. “Oh my God, Asher Devlin.”

I can’t stop my grin from widening. “We’re having another baby.”

The pregnancy test is positive. I knew it in my gut for weeks now that she was pregnant, and here’s proof. I feel sorta proud, and scared, and happy at the same time.

I whoop and draw her into my arms to kiss her mouth. “I love you, Auds.”

“Love you, too, but…” She trembles a little in the circle of my arms. “So soon? Scott is not even two yet. He’s still breastfeeding, for God’s sake.”

I lower my hand to her still flat tummy. “And he’ll love a brother, or a sister to play with.”

“It will be hard.”

“We’ll be fine. We’ll do this together.” I bite my lip not to laugh at the look she sends me. “Well, I’ll help as much as I can. Rub your feet and all. Rub anything you need rubbed.” I lift my hand to cup one of her breasts, and yeah, I had thought her tits were heavier, and look, I’m right.

“It’s your fault,” she mutters, that mutinous look still flashing in her green eyes. “You and your… your cock.”

“It’s a super cock.” Apparently. I glance down where my dick is starting to rise to the occasion, tenting the front of my briefs. All this talk of baby making and the feel of her breast in my hand are giving it ideas. “Super Cock would like to say hi to Super Mommy.”

“Stop it.” She punches my shoulder again, and I brush my thumb over her hardening nipple, making her gasp.

Wow, her tits are almost spilling out of her fine-laced bra, and all I wanna do is drag her to our bed and sink into her.

Looks like she’ll need some persuading first, though. Her fine brows are knit. “I’ll never finish my studies, not with another baby. Oh God…”

“Hey. Auds.” I put my hand under her chin, tilt her face up until she’s looking at me. “Yes, you will. This baby wasn’t planned, hell, the previous one either, but we’re in this together. I meant it when I said it. I’ll help. We’ll find a way, and you’ll do everything you’ve ever dreamed of, okay? I promise.”

She nods, her eyes filling up, but she’s smiling. “I want your babies, Ash. All your babies. I trust you.”

My girl. I brush my mouth over hers, tasting her sweetness. “I hope I never give you cause to regret it.”

“You won’t.” She smiles at me, and her expression turns dreamy, just like it did the time we found out she was pregnant with Scott. Her hand covers mine over her tummy, and I try to imagine us with another baby.

A sudden stab of panic hits me, and I swallow hard. “Am I… Am I doing this right, Auds? With you and Scott? Am I…?”

“You’re the perfect daddy,” she whispers, calming me down like every time my fears flare up. “You’re amazing, and I’m yours.”

Title: I Am Extreme (Book Two, Death Kiss Series )

Author: Ashley Black

Genre: Paranormal Erotic Thriller

Somewhere beyond DESPERATION is a place for the EXTREME

“I want to make you MINE, Lily. Now, you’re telling me it’s not the right time? So, do me a favour, say you’ll be my fantasy?” Ben’s mouth gifts a pleasure storm of kisses down my neck.

The lust demon has deprived me of words. I have no answer to THAT. I clutch his shoulders. HEAT exploding, everywhere.

He holds me tightly, nestling me against him as he brushes his finger tips across my burning cheek.

“You are blushing." Ben's intense blue eyes tell my body exactly how this night will end up,“I love how HOT you become when I touch you, darlin.”

The jury is coming for Ben Drake and Lily Grim’s LOVE.

A love so EXTREME, their EXCESS may destroy them both.

"There is no taming this cock darlin, not around you anyway." .... Players: Ben Drake, rock star, former model/ stripper, calls his dick "mister", dirty, flirty & fun loving with a big heart.

Lily Grim, Death's daughter,

THE Death Priestess, beautiful, brave, fiercely protective of her family and people, alluring, disturbed and a lil bit kinky...

"I was dead for so long without you," she mumbles thickly against my lips, arching and bucking against me as I give her ass a playful squeeze. "Sweet cheeks, that is such a beautiful thing to say."

I force myself to pull back and look into her eyes.

Oh, fuck me dead. Which unlike when she invites me to do that to her, she can actually do to me. That would be one hell of a fuck.

Poor mister! I am grinning like a fool.

Because her turquoise eyes are sultry slits of want for me...

I am an Australian writer of dirty, dark, steamy kinky, and INTENSE romance suspense FICTION!

My sexy word movies will blow your mind with dark bliss, and leave you melty between the legs.

I enjoy writing my sexy, intense brand of don't f*#k around and get to the awesome sensual mayhem. I write across a range (sometimes mash up) of genre’s, but we’ll go with contemporary romance (including rock star romance), dark romance, supernatural/ paranormal with a hell of a lot of SIZZLE!

Wife to my kick ass husband, Mother to two children under 4, a legal eagle by day, consulting, and at night I write and I go HARD. What can I say? INTENSITY turns my writing on!
