Until he meets his new boss, Ty Calloway, a man who ticks off every box on Cole's list of interests. A sought-after restorer and customizer of exotic and collectible cars, Ty had enough confidence to command what he wanted in life, until one fateful night changed everything. Almost two years later, heâs slowly rebuilding his life with great control. He's defied the odds and works tirelessly to be the man he once wasâbut he still feels broken. Coleâs candor and unfiltered personality awaken Tyâs barely-remembered desire to greet each new day with a smile, while Tyâs unwavering acceptance of Coleâs quirks and brash humor makes Cole feel as if he fits in for the first time in far too long. When a nemesis threatens Tyâs personal restoration and the things he holds dear, Cole is determined to protect their relationship, even if that means sacrificing everything heâs worked so hard to achieve. Chapter 1 - A Restored Man © Jaime Reese 2015 The music reverberated off the walls and filtered back through Cole's body. The sounds of Pitbull's "Timber" had him gyrating in the kitchen as he reached into the refrigerator. He grabbed the mozzarella then did exactly as the song commanded after shutting the door. He spun his body around repeatedly, holding the bag of cheese above his head while his hips arched up and down, completely seduced by the pounding beat of the song. He closed his eyes. His heart thumped in unison with the beat, guiding his thick, compact, toned body in the fast-paced thrust of his hips as if he were pushing into the welcoming heat of a lover. The pace slowed and so did his body, in complete sync with the rhythm. His hips rounded deeply, seductively, giving a show that would always excite more than the traditional foreplay. Cole Renzo had some moves and he knew it. The song sped up again and he glided barefoot across the tiled kitchen floor to reach the garlic cloves from the basket in the corner. "Hey, you," Matt said, entering the kitchen, speaking loud enough for his voice to travel above the music. Cole looked over at Matthew Doner, owner of the halfway house where he stayed, and smiled as his body moved to the rhythm of the song, not faltering a single beat with the interruption. He knew Matt loved to dance and had caught him doing his own version of a solo when he thought no one was watching. He dropped the garlic cloves on the counter and bent his finger in a come here motion, swinging his hips in a fluid Salsa-like move as he walked toward Matt slowly. Matt laughed and took two steps forward. Cole pulled him closer, spun him once then wrapped his arm around Matt's waist and started to dance to the faster thump of the song. The laughter echoed in the kitchen as they moved in perfect time with the fast-paced rhythm nearing the end of the tune. Matt held up his arm and Cole circled with the expert elegance of a seasoned dancer, then pulled Matt close, stepped to the side and spun Matt in the same fashion. "What the fuck!" Julian thundered when he entered the kitchen. They froze at the sound of Julian's tone, just as the song ended. Cole's hand still rested on Matt's waist as they tried to settle their breathing, the absence of music magnifying the harsh puff of each exhale. "Hey!" Cole responded cheerfully. "Matt and I were getting it on in here. Matt's got some hip action that would make aâ" Matt's hand came up around the back of Cole's head to cover his mouth, stopping him midsentence. What the hell? He was just going to compliment Matt on his seductive dance moves. Cole glanced at Julian. His golden skin glowed, and he looked as if he had actually swelled an inch or two while standing there. His nostrils flared like a bull's. His usual intimidating green-eyed glare was more vicious than usual. "What. The. Fuck," Julian said in that controlled tone that couldn't hide the undercurrent of his bubbling rage. He looked like he wanted to murder someone. Correction. Based on the white-knuckled fists he held at his sides, he was probably going to beat the shit out of some poor soul. Murder would show mercy. Matt's hand couldn't hide the smile Cole imagined was plastered on his face. Poor sorry ass idiot who dared piss off Julian Capeletti. He looked up at the green-eyed guy who towered over Cole's five-nine stature. "J, calm down," Matt said to his partner in his usual calming tone. Yeah, good luck with that. Julian was about to go ape shit on someone and Cole was going to have a front row seat to that show. Cole's stomach fluttered and he started shifting his weight from foot to foot. He couldn't wait to see Julian actually lose it for once. Julian's jaw clenched and his fists tightened. Wait a minute. Cole looked back and forth between Julian and Matt. Julian's not pissed at Mattâhe never was. They had one of those sickly sweet, always romantic I love you lick fest relationships you secretly want but would never openly admit. Why was Julian so mad? And who the hell was he mad at? There was no one else in the kitchen. Shit. Cole slowly registered how his actions or words may have been received. He instantly released Matt as if his fingers were singed and put his hands behind his back. Matt removed his hand from Cole's mouth. Cole took a few steps back and raised his hands in a surrender-like fashion, hoping to calm the golden beast that seemed to be growing in width with each passing second. "We were just dancing," Cole said calmly. He knew better than to joke with Julian while he was in this state of mind. Stick to the facts. "I was making dinnerâ¦your favorite actually." He walked over slowly toward the stovetop like someone stepping away from a wild animal. He kept his focus trained on Julian as he lifted the pot tops on the stove. Matt neared Julian and placed his hands on the stretched black T-shirt covering his broad chest. "J, I heard the music and came in here. You know I can't resist a dance," he said teasingly as he stroked Julian's chest. He then smiled and placed a kiss on Julian's neck. Julian's focus shifted quickly from Cole to Matt and back to Cole. Within a second, his glare had changed. Matt kissed him again and Julian's eyes partially closed but snapped open, re-focusing on Cole as his target. Matt's hand reached up Julian's neck to the back of his shaved head. Julian's eyes closed and his head lolled to the side, seeking Matt's kisses up his neck then along his jawline. In a flash, he grabbed Matt by the hand and pulled him out the kitchen. Matt quickly glanced back to Cole with a huge grin on his face. Cole sighed with relief as his entire body relaxed. Crisis averted. He always seemed to get a rise out of Julian but it was never intentional. Not really. He wouldn't deny he occasionally had some fun at Julian's expense. He just had the worst case of foot in mouth syndrome. It seemed his mouth worked much faster than his brain. He would never say or do anything to intentionally hurt someone, his mother had taught him better than that. But with a thousand different thoughts racing in his mind at any given moment, picking the right thing to say didn't always work out in his favor. Or as Julian said, he had no social filter between his brain and mouth. Cole returned his focus to the dinner he was preparing. Food. God, he loved to cook and was thankful as hell Matt and Julian allowed him to tinker in the kitchen. He didn't want to stir anything upâaside from the sauce he was preparingâbut he needed to burn off the nervous energy that thrummed through his body on a constant basis. He pressed the button on the iPod docking station to jump to the next playlist and lowered the volume. The smooth sounds of Maroon 5 streamed through the speakers and eased his nerves as he continued to stir the sauce. Visions of Adam Levine singing and dancing came to mind. Mmm. The things he'd love to do to that man. He was placing the garlic rolls in the oven some time later when Julian walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to grab a bottled water. Cole closed the oven and stilled, hoping for some magic superpower that would render him invisible. He couldn't abandon dinner and risk it getting ruined or, even worse, messing up Halfway House, the place he had called his home for the last two months. Shit. Cole turned, feeling as if he should say something, but shut his mouth almost as quickly to avoid aggravating the situation. He sucked at apologies and usually ended up shoving his other foot into his mouth as well. Julian glared at him just as Matt entered the kitchen with flushed cheeks, a dreamy smile, and swollen lips. Matt hummed as he tugged his shirt to straighten it. When he looked up and saw both Cole and Julian looking at him, his eyes rounded and he quickly turned and exited the kitchen. Midday booty call. Busted. A slow smile began to spread across Cole's face. He glanced over at Julian who still had a death glare focused on him. Julian pointed a finger at him. "Don't you dare go there," he said before turning away. "And pull up your pants. I can see your damn Spider-Man underwear." "Hey, don't rag on the superheroes. Oh, and by the wayâ¦" Julian turned and gave Cole a pointed glare. Cole did a chin up gesture toward the door where Matt had been only moments ago. "You can thank me later." The muscles in Julian's jaw flexed. He inhaled sharply, shook his head, and left the kitchen without saying another word. Jaime Reese is the alter ego of an artist who loves the creative process of writing, just not about herself. Fiction is far more interesting. She has a weakness for broken, misunderstood heroes and feels everyone deserves a chance at love and life. An avid fan of a happy ending, she believes those endings acquired with a little difficulty are more cherished. HOSTED BY:

Name of Editor – Pedantic Punctuator Name of cover designer – Najla Quamber Designs Page # – 240 pages Official genre of book – Contemporary Romance Abbie Bennet is a twenty year old bookworm who considers herself well-balanced and sensible. Her heart and intuition agree on most things and she has no intention of upsetting this for anyone. When she ventures out of her comfort zone to join her friends at a local bar, her balance is knocked way off course by a stranger who is everything her mother, and intuition, have warned her about.Amazon USGoodreadsPhillip takes Sarah’s hand and leads her through the crowd toward the bar. ‘So, I guess the lead singer is the band manager too? Abbie, go and ask him for his card,’ Ethan gestures at him, the man who made my knees turn to jelly. ‘Um, no, not me... you go,’ I shout quite loudly. I have a lump in my throat. I can’t talk to him. ‘You’re closer, just go and get a business card,’ Ethan says, as he turns his back to me and continues canoodling with Hannah. I sigh and turn to the bar. Here goes. ‘Um, excuse me!’ I say, as loudly as possible over the thumping of the music. He doesn’t seem to hear me. I touch him on the shoulder lightly. His skin is hot through the dampness of his t-shirt. I pull my hand back quickly when he turns. He smirks and shows his perfect white teeth. ‘It’s okay, I don’t bite,’ he shouts out over the music. I step back a little and he moves toward me. He bends toward my ear. ‘Do you wanna dance?’ he says loudly. Instinctively, I move back again, bumping up against another girl. ‘Oh, um, no thanks. Your friend said you may have a business card?’ He lifts an eyebrow and continues standing way too close. He looks a little confused. I assume he doesn’t get turned down very often. He leans towards me again and says, ‘You might like it.’ I feel my cheeks burn and when I glance at him as I move away, I notice him looking at my neck. Stepping back, I clear my throat to make sure my voice works and shout over the music, ‘I don’t think so.’ He moves closer again and I feel my heart jolt. ‘You looked like you were enjoying yourself before.’ He’s grinning and looking me over. ‘I promise to be gentle.’ ‘I, well, no thanks, I’ve had enough for one night.’ Did I just say that? I sound like my mother. ‘Okay,’ he shrugs, ‘your call.’ He glances around and leans against the bar, his shirt stretching across his chest. ‘What can I do for you?’ I must look a little confused or dazed, or something. I’m trying to place his very slight accent. Irish? But, he looks Greek. I gulp and try to sound calm. ‘My friends and I would like to book your band for a party.’ A smile plays on his lips and I can see he’s watching my mouth as I speak. ‘Sure, but I don’t have any business cards available.’ He turns away from me to ask the attractive girl behind the bar something and she quickly hands him a pen. I notice the gleam in her eye and feel an unexpected pang of jealously. Then he writes on a napkin and hands it to me. ‘Here’s my number.’ ‘Er thanks...’ This is my comeback? Absolutely no grace and now he probably thinks he’s made my heart flutter. I push my way through the crowd and back to the safety of my friends. Shoving the napkin into Ethan’s shirt pocket, I try to look unflustered, because there’s no way I’m calling this guy.

At a chance meeting in San Diego, he meets recently widowed and retired teacher Irene Ortiz. JJ and Irene feel an undeniable attraction that pulls them together for one night. He draws passion from the lonely Irene, the likes of which she has never known. When JJ becomes the target of a traitor, his life and his budding love for Irene are put in jeopardy. He leaves his beloved SEALs to track down the people responsible for planning his demise when he discovers a plot that could bring the United States military to its knees. JJ is recalled back to Special Warfare Group 5 and sets out on a worldwide chase. Irene decides to follow her heart, and at JJâs side, she helps him to stop fervent terrorists from unleashing a deadly pathogen. Will JJ and Irene be able to keep the terrorists from unleashing a nightmare? UK US STORY EXCERPT JJ observed the woman he had walked in with again. He watched her in the large mirror behind the bar. She took slow, deliberate drinks of her red wine. She smoothed her slacks, and as she crossed her legs, he noticed her toes when they peeked out. She was wearing small-heeled sandals, and his mouth almost started to water. Her toes were perfect. She kept herself well groomed and paid attention to every little detail of her appearance. She was around his age or even a little older. She was an attractive woman, even though he preferred them younger. Like most women of JJâs generation, she took time to get dressed and made up every day. When she finally left the house she was dressed to the nines and made up to perfection. That was something he did appreciate about the women his age. Younger women tended to be sloppy and not take the time to look so polished. He watched as the woman looked around nervously. She doesnât belong hereâ¦JJ decided to break the ice. He turned and made eye contact with the woman and smiled. She returned the smile apprehensively and looked away. He glanced at her left hand and saw a wedding ring. His curiosity got the best of him. âWaiting for your husband?â JJ asked the woman. âIâd be waiting a long time. He passed away a few months ago,â she said with a wistful smile. âIâm sorry,â JJ said, taking a drink. âAre you in San Diego for business or pleasure?â âPleasure. Iâm here with my niece. Sheâs upstairs. You?â âI live here. I was hoping to meet up with a buddy of mine whoâs here on business. Heâs staying here at the hotel,â JJ said. âI see.â âJames Jones,â he said, extending his hand to the woman. âIrene Ortiz,â she said, taking his hand and shaking it lightly. âDo you work, Irene?â âNo, I just retired from teaching. You?â âIâm active duty Navy, thirty-three years now.â âReally? My nieceâs fiancé is in the Navy, reserves, I think.â Navy Reserves? Around Coronado there werenât too many reservists unless they had been activated. He blinked. It was too coincidental that he could be sitting here with Badassâs mother-in-law to be. Gavin was a reservist, he was staying at the hotel, and his fiancée was raised by relativesâ¦Nahâ¦He took another drink and saw that Ireneâs wine glass had dwindled down to a sip. He called the bartender and asked for a refill for Irene and himself and ordered some appetizers from the kitchen. He figured he might as well settle in. This was turning into an interesting evening. He wanted to find out if she was one of the women here with Gavin. âNo, I just wanted one before I turned in for the night,â Irene said as the bartender filled her glass. âSo tell me, what grade did you teach?â JJ asked, redirecting the conversation. âI taught sixth grade science and then I was a principal at the high schoolâ¦â Irene began to describe her years as a teacher and a high school principal as JJ listened and asked more questions. When she was done with her career, he noticed that her wine glass had dwindled once again. He called the bartender to refill the glass, and this time she didnât protest. She looked at him as she took another sip of her now-full third glass of wine. âEnough about me, what do you do in the Navy?â âI sail a desk,â JJ said with a smile as he thought about his current position with Dixie. Irene giggled. JJ chuckled and slid a little closer. He could tell by her little giggle that she was feeling her wine, and by the way she was letting him into her space she was also letting down her guard. She had a cute little giggle, he observed. It was bubbly and reminded him of little champagne bubbles. He slid even closer. With a couple more glasses of wine, JJ figured he could have this one bent over a chair screaming for him to drive it home. âWhereâs home, Irene?â JJ asked lowly. âTexas. Victoria, Texas,â Irene said. Holy crap on a cracker! It was Badassâs future mother-in-law! JJ was having severe mental conflict with this new piece of information. He had been seriously considering cutting his losses with Gavin and taking up with Irene for the night. She was attractive, and with a little more wine she would be good to go! He sat back and considered his options. If Gavin âBadassâ Walsh ever found out that JJ had picked up and screwed his mother-in-law, he was a dead man. He wasnât known as Badass because he was a pussy. Gavin would not even let him utter a syllable in explanation. Badass would just shoot him and anyone else who tried to stop said massacre. He considered Gavin a moment. Badass never missed, even by a little. Fuck! It was JJ who taught him how to shoot. So he decided against plan A and went to plan B. He looked at Irene and smiled. Either he was getting drunk or Irene Ortiz was getting more attractive by the second. He needed to make an exit before he did something really stupid. âIrene, if you get bored with the company youâre with, call me. Iâd be glad to show you around San Diego,â JJ said, writing his cell phone number on a napkin. Irene smiled and took the napkin. âThank you, Mr. Jones. I may just do that.â âWould you like me to walk you to your room?â âNo, thank you. I donât think thatâs necessary.â âYouâre a very attractive woman, Irene. Your husband was a lucky man,â JJ said. Irene didnât reply as she looked down at the napkin. âIâm serious. Call me if you want to ditch the kids and hang out with someone your own age. Good night, Irene. It was a pleasure to meet you.â He paid the tab for both of them. ADULT EXCERPT Irene had never imagined her feet and ankles were so sensitive. Every time James kissed or ran his tongue over the area she almost passed out from the sensation. The feeling sent a jolt straight to her pussy every time he touched her skin. He pressed a kiss right above her knee on her inner thigh. He was even more overwhelming naked. For a man in his mid-fifties he was in damn good shape. When she moved her hands over his back, she couldnât believe how tight his muscles were wound. In truth, James didnât have an ounce of fat on him. All she could feel was hard muscle. Her mind flashed a guilty picture of David. They had drifted apart over the years. David spent the last several years of his life obsessed with his job and ignoring her as a result. She had grown lonely, and thankfully she had a full life that kept her occupied. Sex became routine, and although Irene had been a good wife, she always wondered what another man would be like. All thoughts of David vaporized when James gave her the bone-melting kiss she had begged for earlier. So far, James had made it worth the wait. It had been a very long time since she had been this aroused. âSugar?â James whispered. âYes?â Irene asked opening her eyes. âWhatâs wrong?â James nuzzled her neck as if he could read her thoughts. Jamesâs hands ran over her belly and up to her breasts. He found space right below her ear and kissed as he started stroking her nipples through the thin mesh material. âNothingâ¦Just kiss me,â Irene said, closing her eyes again and giving in to the bliss of his touch. âWhere?â James kissed that space again. Irene giggled at the sensation of the kiss. âWhere do you think?â It never occurred to Irene what she considered a kiss and what James thought it was were miles apart. Before she knew what was happening her panties were around one leg and he was kissing⦠âJames! What are you doing?â Irene demanded as her eyes flew open at the sensation of him kissing her pussy. No one had ever done that to Irene. David didnât like oral sex. He always considered it dirty and beneath them to even explore that part of their relationship. Apparently, Mr. Jones held no such beliefs and everything was open for him to explore. âKissing you, sugar, lay back and relax. Iâm almost positive youâll like this,â James said before he went down and started licking and kissing her pussy. Ireneâs eyes rolled back in her head as she melted into the sheets. She moved her hips, grinding her pussy into his eager mouth. His hands pushed under her thighs folding her legs at the knees. His alternate licking and sucking of her clit was driving her mad. He inserted his finger into her pussy and firmly stroked in and out as he orally pleased her. Irene gasped when he hit her G-spot and started rubbing back and forth. The sensation was like touching low voltage electricity and it was making her moan like a dying woman. If staying with him meant this kind of attention every now and then, she would move in tomorrow! Irene squeezed her eyes shut at the first indications of her orgasm. Her belly contracted slightly as James latched on to her clit and started sucking harder, encouraging her climax. She felt the wave hit and he had to use his free hand to hold her convulsing body. Her throbbing pussy contracted around his finger and tightly squeezed his thick finger. Irene couldnât remember a more intense climax than the one she was experiencing now. Her nerve endings seemed to fire at once as her body came to its final apex. âJamesâ¦â Irene sighed and shivered as he made his way up her post-climactic sensitive body. âMy turn, sugar.â James kissed her deeply. Irene had forgotten all about his happy ending. She was exhausted and didnât know how the hell she would keep up with him. He kissed and teased her all over again. Jamesâs hands and mouth went to work on her overly sensitive skin. Irene shivered as he ran his hands over her ribs and up her breasts, gently teasing and squeezing as he nipped at her neck. She closed her eyes and let his manipulation of her senses begin again. James planted himself in between her legs and gently rocked his hard cock against her pussyâs entrance. She gripped his arms as he rose and looked into her eyes. A wicked look crossed his features as he rocked, teasing the entrance to her sensitive cunt. Her head was spinning. She waited and almost begged him to fuck her like she had never experienced. âDo you want me?â James growled. âYes,â Irene said, running her hands down to his hips. She tugged and urged him forward.

Tell me your fantasy, Iâll fulfill it ~ So, who do you want me to be?â Sophisticated for the Night It had been over nine months since Iâd deflowered Summer Beresford, in her Virgin for the Night fantasy. Nine months where sheâd plagued my thoughts, both in my personal and professional life. Iâd resolved to never take another booking from her, Iâd never gotten emotionally attached to a client before, it didn't bode well for me. Especially not when she obviously just saw me as the guy she paid to take her virginity and nothing else. I didn't take rejection well. When I read that her co-star Daron Beck had set his sights on her and planned to accompany her to their movie premiere next week, it made my blood boil. His reputation for sleeping with his leading ladies, was nearly as legendary as my reputation for being the best in the business. He, on the other hand, wasn't so respectful of women. The thought of him putting his hands on her, if he hadn't already, or treating her badly, made my mind up.

Author Links Giveaway Release Day Blitz Run To You by Kandice Michelle Young Release Date: 10th Feb 2015 I moved to New York for a fresh start. I did not move here to fall for a man like Sebastian. Sebastian Black came into my life like a storm in the peak of the nightâ¦dark, raging, all-consuming, and guaranteed to leave destruction in his wake. From the moment our eyes met, he had a hold on me. I wanted, craved, and needed him like nothing I had ever desired before. The problem was he needed total submission. From the moment he handed me the contract, I knew what he was proposing would destroy me. What I had not planned was his ability to make me crave destruction. I would lose myself in him. Sebastian knew how to take me over the edge, and before I even knew it, I wanted to go freefalling. It was evident that my past had the ability to destroy us. What I had not calculated was the power of his to do the same. My dark, brooding, impeccably sexual, alpha-male had his own crosses to bear. I was not sure I was strong enough to handle them, or the woman who helped chain him there. US UK CA AUS âThe elevator comes to an abrupt stop and the doors open. I try to pull away from him, but he nibbles on my neck and I let out another deep moan. The door slides closed once more. Sebastian stops it with his foot, dislodging his fingers and straightening my dress for me. âWeâre here.â âNo we were there then you stopped.â I smile knowingly at him and follow him into the foyer, brightened only by warm, recessed lighting. I glance around looking for art on the walls, but all I see is beige, which is a direct contrast to the dark granite tiles at my feet. We move from the foyer into a more open kitchen, connected to a minimalistic living space. There is a steel table in the center with soft white couches on either side. Sebastian leads me to an island made of dark wood and marble, and gestures for me to sit on one of the white leather stools. âWine,â he suggests. I smile. âSure.â âDom. Romaine?â He asks, as he pulls an expensive looking bottle from the rack. âSebastian, I donât know much about wine except that it's better when itâs not stale. Iâm sure whatever you have will be fine.â He pours two glasses of a dark red and hands me one. I take a casual sip as I glance around, noting the granite countertops. âLetâs move to the sitting room,â he says, taking my hand. âI want you as comfortable as possible for this.â My sex responds to his words and I feel a residual hunger building in me from our unfinished encounter just moments before. I follow him into the living room and sit on one of the plush white couches, noticing a fantastic stone fireplace, but still no art. He sits on the couch adjacent to mine. âYou know thereâs plenty of room over here. I promise I wonât bite. Well, at least not that hard,â I say playfully. âIâm fine here, thank you,â he responds. I canât help the slump in my shoulders as I cross my legs and lean into the cushion for support. âDanielle, you neednât be disappointed. There are many things I want to do to your body, and I will do them all.â He smiles. âBut, first I think we need to reach an agreement.â I feel the excitement pulsing through my veins again. âOkâ¦â He places his glass on the table and rises to his feet. âThereâs something I should show you. Wait here.â Kandice is⦠â¦a serial lover of all things pink, self-proclaimed chocoholic, home-schooling mother, and wannabe yogi. Her debut erotica novel, Run to You, the first in the series Run, is coming soon. Kandiâs love of storytelling can be traced back to her fourth grade year, when a history lesson on Native Americans became too unimaginative for her liking. She took it upon herself to liven things up by creating a story that was based on half-truths about a self-named Indian Princess. Kandice is in fact of Native American heritage (her great-grandmother was a full-blooded Cherokee) and in her own mind a princess, so you can see where her inspiration came from. Her story was a huge hit with friends, and an author was born. Kandice was born and raised in rural Arkansas, where she currently lives with her husband and three children. Though, if you ask her sheâll confirm that her soul is lost somewhere on the west coast waiting for the day that her body can rejoin it. |
