Can a fling turn into something real?

When the world throws me a curveball, I run away from Chicago to Martha’s Vineyard.
Just for a few days of soul searching before returning to my regular life. 
Then I meet him.
Chance Santos.
A curious force draws me to him.
I don’t believe in insta-love or the myth of happily-ever-after.
But the chemistry between us is undeniable.
In his arms, I find passion, learn who I am, and who I want to be.
Logic says walk away.
We’re strangers.
Two ships passing in the night.
Our lives are too different.
The age gap too wide.
But I crave him.
His touch.
His kiss.
His presence.
Is one amazing weekend enough to be the start of something?
Should I flee again?
Or do I dare take this Chance?

My marriage only lasted three pathetic hours and forty-two worthless minutes.
I thought coming home would be uncomplicated, that I could start over.
Then he walked into my life.
Older. Wiser. Dangerous.
Grayson Turner gave me a night of absolute, toe-curling bliss.
That was supposed to be the end.
Only his rough edges cut me open, and I can feel again.

My marriage crumbled after I caught my ex-wife in a lie.
I’ve had enough of the BS and games that go along with love.
And then I caught sight of Gemma Castile standing in my house.
Instantly, she seeps under my skin.
She’s twenty-eight and I’m forty.
One night of reckless passion.
That’s all it was supposed to be.

Together, we ventured into the deep …

Drew Canelli likes his women the way he likes his martinis. 
Warm, sexy and in various flavors.   
Shaken or stirred, classic and swank, original or edgy. 
He loves them all. 
The dirtier the better.
All the pleasure with no ill effects. No interference. No dependency. 
Once satisfied, he leaves the glass empty. 
Every time. 
Until a fresh shiny label, unique in style and garnish, appears.
Rachel Daine.
Strong. Heady. Habit forming. One sip leaves Drew a staggering drunk.
Hooked and hung over, cold turkey is his only hope.
But this time, he can’t resist the potent mix that promises to bite him back.

*Dirty Martinis is a modern spin on the traditional cocktail.



Cover Design: Shanoff Designs

Ava James might have lost her mind.
She definitely lost her job.
Quit, actually—over the phone—with a boss more intimidating than God, after finding out that he gave her promotion to a manipulative, scheming sleazebag.
Off the rails with rage, predictable, rigid, all-work-and-no-play Ava decides to let her wild side fly.
What work trip? A long weekend in the Caribbean sounds better.
And the broody but hot stranger she can’t seem to shake? He’s getting under her skin in a very tasty way.
Dominic West is a highly trained covert operative looking to avenge his brother's death, but he never imagined that dark path involving her.
Ava James.
The face he has tracked from afar for years, and the one person who showed his broken brother kindness.
She’s being set up to fall or to die, and he can’t let either happen. Ava wears a tough shell, but up close—dangerously close—he sees her.
All of her.
And now she’s suddenly someone he needs to protect as much as betray.

Explosive and hot! 

I know her unspoken desire when she gives me that coy look before disappearing into the row of library books…

I’ve always had the natural ability to unlock a woman’s hidden desires, but my life takes a complete 180 when I’m introduced to my true calling.

In my journey to become a Master, I make it my mission to indulge my submissives, as well as challenge them.

But I’ve discovered something equally valuable in the process. Family.

When everything I’ve worked for is threatened, I am ready to fight—and I am a man who will do whatever it takes to protect what's mine.

Excerpt

From the 1st Chapter: Surprise Encounter
(The Library Scene)

I watch with interest as she gives me a flirtatious grin, adjusting her glasses before getting up and heading to the reference section of the library. She’s wearing a midline skirt that is conservative but still sways enticingly as she walks away from me.
Taking her cue, I set down my pen and leave my calculations on the table a few minutes later. I survey the other students here, noting that they all seem preoccupied and are not interested in what I am doing.
The librarian, however, stares me intently as I walk past her. I give her a slight nod, acknowledging her station, and watch with a sense of satisfaction as she blushes.
Heading deep into the reference section, I find my chestnut beauty hidden in the back. A smile spreads across her face as I approach.
As she opens her mouth to speak, I put my finger on those red lips and shake my head. There will be no words between us.
I replace my finger with my lips, pressing my mouth against hers.
Kissing her gently at first, I feel her body respond to mine, and I slip my tongue into her mouth.
She moans softly, so I pull away shaking my head. The only way this continues is if she stays totally silent.
Looking at me with those sultry eyes, she tilts her chin up, begging for another kiss.
I claim those sensual lips again while my hand begins exploring her curves. As my hand moves downward, I grasp her waist, pulling her against me so she can feel my growing excitement.
It has been a while since I’ve felt the thrill of penetration, and my cock aches in anticipation of it.
Hiking up her skirt, I push her back against the shelves, the scent of old books surrounding us as I feel between her legs. Her panties are already wet, letting me know she’d been fantasizing about this encounter ever since she sat down next to me.
Naughty girl…
I slip my hand under the thin material and struggle not to groan when I feel the slick warmth of her pussy. My body burns with desire.
Knowing time is of the essence, I slip her panties down to her knees and unzip my jeans.  I pull a condom from my wallet and watch her eyes widen as I roll it down over my hard shaft.
Sliding the head of my cock against her tight opening, I take a few moments to build up the sexual tension. The sound of a low cough echoing from somewhere in the library only adds to the excitement of what we are about to do.
Looking deep into her eyes, I lift her leg to open her pussy to me and slowly push my cock into her.
She makes the barest of sounds and I immediately pull out, raising my eyebrow. Looking at me desperately, she bites her lip to show she’s serious about keeping silent.
I kiss those red lips again as I slide my shaft back into her, pushing even deeper. She trembles with need when I begin thrusting. The excitement of having sex in the college library has both our hearts racing.
The small beads of perspiration on her skin cause those sexy glasses to slip down the bridge of her nose. I take them off and carefully set them on a shelf before gripping her buttocks tight. I begin stroking her deeper while keeping eye contact as I climb toward climax.

Long Road Home by Stacey Lynn 
Publication Date: November 5th, 2018 
Genre: Contemporary Romance 
Cover Design: Shanoff Designs

LongRoadHome-FINAL.jpg

I left home ten years ago, promising myself I’d never return to the place where I had never been accepted. I was despised and ridiculed for circumstances completely beyond my control.
But when my grandmother passes away, I’m forced to return to Kansas. I will have to face everyone who hated me. But they’re not who I’m most afraid of.
My biggest fear? Facing him. Jordan Marx. The boy I once loved more than life itself. The boy who defended me from them. The boy I’d disappeared on, leaving him nothing more than a horrible nasty lie and hastily scribbled note.
When Jordan finds out the secret I have carried for so long, I’m in for the battle of my life.
Or so I thought.
I might have wandered for years on a path riddled with thorns but with Jordan by my side, taking the long road home means more than reuniting with the only man I’ve ever loved. It might just mean finding myself, and the family I never thought I could ever have along the way.

Publishing Date: December 21st, 2017

Genre: Contemporary MM Romance

Designer: Shanoff Designs

Photographer: Chris Davis at Specular Photography

Model: Adam Crowie

A Note from Ella:

To all my wonderful readers,
I know I had originally stated that TRUE (Temptation Series VI) would be released on January 2nd, and while that is a wonderful date, I find that I can’t keep these men and their happily ever after to myself any longer.
So today, as the cover of the sixth book in the Temptation Series is revealed so is the NEW RELEASE DATE: December 21st <3 <3
Just in time for a plane trip, or a car trip, or a time out over the Christmas holidays where you want to curl up with some fictional family members. Because what better way can I say Merry Christmas to you all than by giving you this book early?
MUAH,
Ella

Synopsis:

True - adjective: That which is accurate or exact.
I dare you to try.
I think you’re my truth.
Terrify me.
Marry me.
Marry me.
Marry me...
Four years ago, Logan Mitchell walked into Tate’s life and challenged him to see it differently.
He dared Tate to try a kiss, when normally he wouldn’t have.
He begged him to take a chance, when he probably shouldn’t have.
But most importantly, he asked Tate to trust that he would love him, and he did. From that moment on, Tate realized exactly what his life had been missing—Logan.
Happily-ever-afters come in many different forms. But for Tate Morrison, there’s only one ending he wants. The one where the guy marries the guy and true love conquers all.
Now all he has to do is tell Logan.
Join Logan and Tate as they finally realize what the rest of us knew all along. That they belong together for better or worse—always.
