Marco’s bad boy rock star image isn’t just one he’s cultivated for his fans—it’s Marco all over. Marco’s past is full of one night stands, bad decisions, and blackouts. Marco never saw a cage he didn’t want to rattle—and from the moment he lays eyes on him, he really wants to rattle sweet, innocent Ben Selden’s cage.</span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Ben Selden comes from a fundamentalist Baptist family. Ben is struggling under the weight of knowing that he’s gay, and a lifetime’s teachings that tell him that his God will condemn him, and his family reject him, if they ever find out. With a future he doesn't want already mapped out for him, Ben’s at a breaking point when he meets Marco.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Marco’s teasing, flirting, and obvious interest awakens a hunger in Ben, and he knows this might be his only chance to act on his attraction to a man—if he’s brave enough to risk his future, and his family, to take it. He doesn’t expect Marco to be his savior, but maybe a savior isn’t what Ben needs—maybe he just needs someone to believe in him enough that he’s willing to save himself.</div></span><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb6W2CVPyVRls-8zn8RwY3WZekhTZi3S3hsXnfPDbHHveopW3LXZSClIwqpX4zn-1SYs1lIR9IsLqilbS6pXIXmvdNVU52GIzlW2cqmkesyKsJ0OjFkTOnzRf7lG4gEwNvg9voiJZWkZW7/s300/417nEIg34zL._SY300_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="187" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb6W2CVPyVRls-8zn8RwY3WZekhTZi3S3hsXnfPDbHHveopW3LXZSClIwqpX4zn-1SYs1lIR9IsLqilbS6pXIXmvdNVU52GIzlW2cqmkesyKsJ0OjFkTOnzRf7lG4gEwNvg9voiJZWkZW7/s0/417nEIg34zL._SY300_.jpg" width="187" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111;">Xander Finch is a top-ranked MotoGP rider, desperate to get back to the circuit after an injury. He’s going stir-crazy in his parents’ house in Ventura while he works on his recovery. Xander has tunnel vision when it comes to his sport—it’s all he’s ever wanted to do in life. When he hires a massage therapist to help speed up his recovery, he’s not expecting the guy to completely flip his universe on its head.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111;">Ollie Baker is living in his car after a disastrous break-up, and jumps at the chance to earn some extra cash through massage. Xander Finch might be hot as hell, but Ollie’s not going there. He’s never going to let some rich guy screw him over again. Besides, Xander’s straight. Isn’t he?</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111;">When their friendship deepens into something more, Xander discovers that Ollie makes him feel a way that nobody ever has before, and maybe motorbikes aren’t his only passion after all. Navigating Xander’s newly discovered demisexuality isn’t the only challenge they’ll have to face if they’re going to be together, because Ollie’s been burned before. It’s hard for him to trust Xander, to believe that he’s really willing to make room in his life for Ollie as well as his racing—assuming he recovers enough to race at all.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111;" /></span><br /></div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00158737842921224998noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6157842269336262676.post-29495535046419566962021-05-11T22:41:00.005+10:002021-05-11T22:41:50.552+10:00A Husband for Hartwell - Out Today! <p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Yay!

After two Seasons, Hartwell remains quite content with bachelorhood--his parents do not. When Hartwell learns they intend to cut his purse strings unless he makes a match this Season, he resigns himself to a marriage of convenience with Becca, and yet he can't help but be drawn to her younger brother, Warry.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333;" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333;" /><b style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333;">He must marry, or risk his sister's ruin.</b><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333;" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333;">The Viscount "Warry" Warrington is used to being viewed as the tagalong little brother. Now a grown man about to enter his second Season, Warry is desperate to be seen. When Lord Balfour, a handsome older peer, takes Warry under his wing, Warry thinks his dream is finally coming true.

There are elves, gingerbread, a hot cowherd in lederhosen, an even hotter lady blacksmith, guards, trolls, a monster, a missing cow, an angry goose, and as many references to The Sound of Music as we could put in without getting sued. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Elf Defence is available to buy here: <a href="https://books2read.com/elfdefence">https://books2read.com/elfdefence</a></span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg73CbBWbz5gOU6d0XxwVuhqT0K8ZgeceazT2W5Dm_wgcHyClhh0lBu2XSnu6-xFNKL95rBKD_iHu_XvC_b0-5gsF_gqM_IFpJ4JMH29Jl1LlK7B-6S74Uos5CA0GN8sm1NsPfPOw0tXLWV/s2048/Elf+Defence+Cover.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1348" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg73CbBWbz5gOU6d0XxwVuhqT0K8ZgeceazT2W5Dm_wgcHyClhh0lBu2XSnu6-xFNKL95rBKD_iHu_XvC_b0-5gsF_gqM_IFpJ4JMH29Jl1LlK7B-6S74Uos5CA0GN8sm1NsPfPOw0tXLWV/s320/Elf+Defence+Cover.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-size: 14px;">Royal envoys Calarian and Benji embark on a quest in the alpine duchy of Tournel. Things go rapidly downhill when the duke plummets to his death from the tower wall. Whoops—that's going to be hard to explain.

They're also dealing with mountain trolls, a monster, a missing cow, and, most shocking of all, a growing realisation that their elves-with-benefits arrangement might be turning into something with feelings. </span><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-size: 14px;">Add in their mutual attraction to Lars, and suddenly the hills are alive with the sound of emotionally compromised collectivist anarchist elves.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-size: 14px;">Also, what’s the deal with those leather shorts? </span></span></p>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00158737842921224998noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6157842269336262676.post-48246467558247316692020-05-19T07:40:00.002+10:002020-05-19T07:45:37.847+10:00The Dark Space series is coming to audio!

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And I'm sure you've noticed that cover Brady has had a it of a face lift. This is because, unfortunately, the model for original Brady is no longer available for covers. But don't worry, he'll be staying on the book covers! </span></div>

After over six months of lies and bullshit, Dreamspinner has finally paid me what I am owed. Well, presuming their sales figures weren't as much a lie as every other damn thing, but I guess I'll never know, will I? </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
And, to make it perfectly clear, just because they have paid me in no way excuses the fact that they stole from me--and countless other authors (most of whom still haven't been paid)--to begin with. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
For the absolute biscuits out there (and I am referring to authors, not readers) who are still living in denial: royalty money is meant to remain in escrow. It is NOT the publisher's money to use for other purposes. It is the authors' money. The fact is, Dreamspinner was paid money by retailers, and that money somehow went missing when it came time to pay it to authors. This is theft. </div>

Dreamspinner has lied repeatedly. Dreamspinner tried to blame a third party, Tipalti, for the fact our royalties hadn't gone into our accounts. <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard-prefer-more-content-show="1" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=1352511464&extragetparams=%7B%22__tn__%22%3A%22%2CdK-R-R%22%2C%22eid%22%3A%22ARA-fhr0h35OCCpskISL9s9oITjZC2QuiO_8rcF-Caf9CEYI6MV5CW-2wHiO8-l1wUPikxYdjJrifE2Y%22%2C%22fref%22%3A%22mentions%22%7D" href="https://www.facebook.com/elizabeth.north2?__tn__=%2CdK-R-R&eid=ARA-fhr0h35OCCpskISL9s9oITjZC2QuiO_8rcF-Caf9CEYI6MV5CW-2wHiO8-l1wUPikxYdjJrifE2Y&fref=mentions" style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration: none;" title="Elizabeth North">Elizabeth North</a> stated in an email to me that "There are parts of what I do that I don't have control over once I initiate the action. I stated that payments would be sent through Tipalti by 1/10 and they were." What she failed to mention, of course, was that the reason the payments didn't go through was because there were no funds in the account. You can check my Twitter for receipts on that from Tipalti. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Anne Regan stated to me that "We have paid authors over $13.3 million dollars in royalties over the last decade. All of that income has been properly accounted for and paid out. We hit a crisis in 2019 that we are doing the best to correct." She further stated that royalty money was held in an escrow account. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It's not a crisis when someone raids the escrow account, Anne, it's theft. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Also, I don't care if you were a fantastic publisher for a decade. That's irrelevant. That's like saying "Well, my wife and I have been married for twelve years, but I've only been beating her for two." What do you want, congratulations? </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
During this whole mess of a journey, I've been called a greedy child by a DSP author for having the audacity to want the money that was stolen from me, as though it just vanished due to some bizarre fluke of fate. Could have happened to anyone, right? Well, no. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I've worked with publishers before that have closed because they could no longer see a way forward. And guess what? Royalty money was still paid when the business was wound up, because nobody had taken the money from the escrow account. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
If you are an author, do not sign with Dreamspinner. Hundreds of their authors are still awaiting payment. Elizabeth North stated that payment plans would be sent out by the restructuring firm Berger Singerman, and that they hoped to contact the majority of authors by March 15. I am in contact with 160+ DSP authors. That's about 10% of the total number of authors, which should be a decent sample size, right? Guess how many have been contacted about a payment plan? If you guessed zero, you would be correct. In fact, the only authors I know who have been contacted by Berger Singerman are those who have hired their own lawyers. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
These are just some of the lies of the past 6 months. There have been many, many more. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
My opinion as an author: Dreamspinner can go fuck itself. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
My opinion as a reader: I will never buy a DSP book, however good it looks, because I have no way of knowing if the author is getting paid. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
And it's not just the authors who haven't been paid. It's also editors, translators, cover artists and more. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Oh, and if DSP thought that paying me would shut me up, it looks like they were wrong.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

Before I go, here's another easily provable lie from Elizabeth North and Dreamspinner: </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(28, 30, 33); color: #1c1e21; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

Each month after that will report by the 15th and pay by the end of the month." </a></div>

That never fucking happened for the vast majority of authors, many of whom haven't received a payment in six months.</div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To celebrate the release of The Parable of the Mustard Seed, I thought it’d be a good time to share the recipe for Anzac Day biscuits, which John’s mum makes in the book.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope that everyone is having a great start to 2020, and that we all have a fantastic year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a few things planned for this year: I have two books coming out early in the year from JMS Books, co-written with the amazing Tia Fielding. I can't wait to share more info about them! Our first is an age gap romance with a lot of angst, and a lot of feels to make up for it! I'm also working on the next Playing the Fool book with J.A. Rock, so get ready for some more Henry and Mac. In addition to that, I'm working on a WIP called The Parable of the Mustard Seed, set in Brisbane, about a police officer and the boy, now a young man, he rescued from a cult nine years ago. And if that's not enough to be working on, I'm also going to be starting a modern (and dark!) retelling of The Emperor's New Clothes. One word: voyeurism! So that's probably enough on my plate for now, right? All those other plot bunnies can shush up for a month or two in the meantime. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also, 2020 is the year that I'm going to be moving my self-published works to KU. Make no mistake, I hate KU and I hate the Amazon model that basically sucks the life out of every other marketplace, but unfortunately I'm not in the position where I can ignore the financial benefits of KU any longer. If I want to keep writing, and I do, then I think that KU is the best way forward for me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In other news, I've finally started a Facebook reader group, and I'd love it if you joined me in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/LisaHenrysHangout">Lisa Henry's Hangout</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Brady Garrett is back in space, this time as an unwilling member of a team of humans seeking to study the alien Faceless and their technology. It’s not the first time Brady’s life has been in the hands of the Faceless leader Kai-Ren, and if there’s one thing Brady hates it’s being reminded exactly how powerless he is. Although dealing with the enigmatic Faceless might actually be easier than trying to figure out where he stands with the other humans on board, particularly when one of them is his boyfriend’s ex.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"> </span></b></span></div>

Cam is used to being Brady’s rock, but this time it might be him who needs Brady’s support. </b></span></span></div>

<span data-offset-key="5d7c2-0-0"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It has been so long since I actually did anything, let alone told anyone what I was doing, but here's the news! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Firstly, I've asked Dreamspinner for the rights to Anhaga back. So I'm in the process of that happening, which means that there may be a period when it's unavailable, but I'm going to get it back out again as soon as I can. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">In the meantime, I hope to have a cosy mystery novella to share with you soon, called Dauntless. There's an island, two guys, an old shipwreck, a lost diary,a Labrador who bounces a lot, and (insert suspenseful music here) MURDER... Despite the murder, it's a cute little story, and I'm hoping to have it out some time very soon! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">And in news that I hope nobody was holding their breaths for, because you all would have asphyxiated by now, the third and final book in the Dark Space trilogy will be out soon! Fans of Brady will be pleased to know he's just as much an intractable shit as always The book is called Starlight, and I have it slated for a December release at this stage! I'm super excited to finally have some news to share on that front! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I will say that 2018 was the year I planned to get a lot more writing done--and then didn't. But I also ended the year on a high note by signing a contract with Dreamspinner for Anhaga, an m/m fantasy romance about a guy who gets railroaded into kidnapping a rich man's recalcitrant grandson and delivering him back to his awful family. There is magic, kings and noblemen, an awesome sidekick who might just steal every scene he's in, and a surprising number of mentions of eels. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here's the opening scene of Anhaga, which may or may not survive the editing process: </span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">The dawn limped in like some boot-scraping bastard, slow and lame, and dragging the sunlight behind it like a crippled limb. Min groaned, and rolled over to put his back to the window. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“You’re lying on my hair,” someone told him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Min peeled his eyes open. “Ah,” he said. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">He had a vague recollection of this woman. Vague enough that he remembered sharing a smile and more than one drink with her last night. And sadly vague enough that he doubted he had acquitted himself well. The woman’s arched eyebrows told him as much. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">He shifted back slightly, and let the woman tug her tresses of red hair back to herself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“Aiode,” she told him, holding out a pale, freckled hand. She kept her other arm clasped across her chest, keeping the blanket from slipping down and revealing what Min was sure was a lovely bosom. “Aiode Nettle. Since I’m sure you don’t remember.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">The surname surprised him a little. Min wasn’t in the habit of bedding the Gifted, even though with the name Aiode had chosen she was probably ranked no higher than a hedgewitch. Clearly he’d made an exception because Aiode, even with her tangled bed hair and lines on her face from the pillow, was beautiful. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“Aramin Decourcey,” he said, shaking her hand. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“That’s quite a mouthful,” she said. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“I’m more than a mouthful, sweeting.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“So you promised last night,” Aiode told him. She raised her eyebrows again. “Sadly, you did not measure up.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Min was too hungover to be truly offended. He rolled back over and squinted at the shaft of light stabbing through the sagging shutters and then, figuring that the day was already ruined, sat up and swung his legs over the side of the bed. His soles met the gritty floor. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">The garret room was cheap; its only recommendation. That, and the view over the back alley behind the Footbridge Tavern. Min did most of his work out of the tavern. His work wasn’t exactly reputable, and Min liked to know if it tried to follow him home like a tick-ridden stray. The view of the alley afforded him at least a little forewarning. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Min blinked around the room. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Pants. Pants pants pants. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">He wasn’t much of a gentleman, not in any sense of the word, but pants were probably in order. He spotted his breeches in a rumpled heap over by the damned window, and levered himself off the bed to go and fetch them. He picked them up, shook them out, and stepped into them. When he turned back to face Aiode, she had the look on her face of a woman who had very much enjoyed the view but wasn’t going to puff up his pride by mentioning it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Please. Min knew his ass was a thing of beauty. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">He smirked at Aiode, and then bent down to pick up his shirt. He tugged it over his head. “Well, I’d invite you to stay and break your fast with me, but…” He gestured around the room. “As you can see, I have neither a kitchen, nor food.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“Even if you had both, I’m sure I would decline,” Aiode said, casting a critical gaze at the grimy floor, the spider’s web hanging in a corner of the water-stained ceiling, and the collection of empty bottles that littered the floor. “I’m expected back at the shrine in any case.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">The closest shrine Min knew of was the Shrine of the Sacred Spring. Aiode was definitely a hedgewitch then. Of all the Gifted, hedgewitches were the least objectionable. Their powers were generally benign, and grounded in nature. They helped to ensure good harvests, and rains, and although most were based in the city they regularly travelled the countryside to offer their service to the kingdom’s farmers. Hedgewitches were generally looked down upon by the rest of the Gifted, which Min felt was a point in their favour. The <i>single</i>point in their favour. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“Well then,” Min said. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“Well,” Aiode echoed, narrowing her eyes slightly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Min feigned interest in a book Harry had left lying around. Harry and his damn books. The boy was too curious for his own good. Besides, books were expensive. Although Harry had undoubtedly stolen the one Min picked up and leafed through. Min had taught him well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Behind him, Min heard the rustle of fabric. He was tempted to turn around and at least give himself a good look at what he’d missed out on last night, but Aiode gave the impression of a woman well versed in testicle kicking, and Min didn’t want to provoke her. Also, she was Gifted. True, a hedgewitch probably couldn’t do much but try to curse him with a few warts here and there, but there was no point in risking it. Not the warts, of course, but exposure. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Min had a gift of his own as it happened, and he preferred to keep it secret. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“I shall see myself out,” Aiode announced. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Min set Harry’s book on the rickety table and turned around again. Aiode was wearing a plain green kirtle over a white smock. How disappointingly modest. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“I’ll walk with you to the street,” Min offered. “Some of my neighbours, alas, are not at all gentlemanly.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Aiode raised her eyebrows. “Do you think me incapable of protecting myself?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Min flashed her a smile. “Not at all. In fact, I was relying on you to protect me.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Aiode laughed, the sound genuine and boisterous, and, for the first time since he’d fumbled into wakefulness, Min realized why he’d invited her back to his bed the night before. He’d always fallen hardest for women who didn’t put up with any bullshit. And Aiode’s bullshit detector, Min guessed, was as finely tuned as his own. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 1cm;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Clearly he needed to never see her again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Paramedic Hayden Kinsella is single
and the life of the party. He likes driving fast and saving lives, and he
doesn’t do relationships—he does hookups. Except he wouldn’t hook up with
copper Matt Deakin if he were the last guy on the planet. Hayden thinks the
feeling is mutual . . . until clearing the air leads to a drunken one-night
stand, which leads to something neither of them was expecting: a genuine
connection.</span><span style="color: #333333; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></span></div>

Townsville to take care of his elderly grandfather. In between keeping an eye
on Grandad, renovating his house, and the demands of his job, he somehow finds
himself in a tentative relationship with Hayden and very slowly gets to know
the damaged guy beneath the happy-go-lucky persona.</span><span style="color: #333333; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></span></div>

fatigue, and constant exposure to trauma threaten to tear Hayden and Matt apart
before they’ve even found their footing together. In the high-pressure lives of
emergency services workers, it turns out it’s not the getting together part
that’s hard, it’s the staying together.</i></span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I've learned a lot in the process--mostly about how computer illiterate I am, but if I'm honest, I already knew that... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But the good news is, Tribute (my earliest, and arguably smuttiest book!) is now back out in ebook format at all major resellers, and the paperback version should go live on Amazon any day now! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And a huge thanks to J.A. Rock, who designed the new cover for me! I love it! (And her, naturally!) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">When the fearsome warlord Brasius chooses Kynon as his tribute, Kynon tells himself it’s the price of peace, and that he can endure anything. If his slavery will save his father’s kingdom, then he will be a slave and submit to every indignity the warlord and the senate of Segasa require of him. He can live with the shame; it’s the mind-blowing pleasure that frightens him.</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br style="color: #333333;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">But the warlord wants more than a tribute who will respond eagerly to whips and bondage. The warlord might just want the man underneath: the prince, the soldier and the tribute, if Kynon can figure out who that is. On an enforced journey of self-discovery, Kynon learns that being the warlord’s tribute isn’t just about submission. And, to be the tribute that Brasius wants him to be, Kynon will have to defy all the traditions of Segasa and risk the wrath of the senate that really holds his chains.</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="color: #333333;" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: strong BDSM theme and elements, dubious consent, violence. Readers with a history of rape or sexual abuse may find elements of this story disturbing.</span></i></span><br />

true family. Know your own heart.</span><span style="color: #797979; font-weight: bold;"><br />
<br />
</span><i><span style="color: #181818;">When Elliott Dashwood’s father dies, leaving his family virtually
penniless, it’s up to Elliott to do what he’s always done: be the responsible
one. Now isn’t the right time for any added complications. So what the hell is
he doing hooking up with Ned Ferrars? It’s just a fling, right?</span><span style="color: #797979;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="color: #181818;">Elliott tries to put it behind him when the family makes a fresh start
in California, and if he secretly hopes to hear from Ned again, nobody else
needs to know. While his mom is slowly coming to terms with her grief, teenage
Greta is more vulnerable than she’s letting on, and Marianne—romantic, reckless
Marianne—seems determined to throw herself headfirst into a risky love affair.
And when Elliott discovers the secret Ned’s been keeping, he realizes that
Marianne isn’t the only one pinning her hopes on a fantasy.</span><span style="color: #797979;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="color: #181818;">All the Dashwoods can tell you that feelings are messy and heartbreak
hurts. But Elliott has to figure out if he can stop being the sensible one for
once, and if he’s willing to risk his heart on his own romance. </span></i><span style="color: #797979; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 8.5pt;"><b><i><br /></i></b>

Or Troy, the cop whose obsession with saving a brutalized human trafficking victim turns deadly. Or Drew, the mental patient who begins to suspect his nightly delusions of abuse by his doctor are actually real. Or David, the cuckolded husband who decides the best way to get revenge is to seduce his wife’s barely legal son.</span><br style="color: #333333;" /><br style="color: #333333;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Stealing Innocents is an exploration of our darkest human impulses, where sex is power, love is horror, and there’s no such thing as a happy ending.</span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Rome, 68 A.D. Novius Senna is one of the most feared men in Rome. He’s part of the emperor’s inner circle at a time when being Nero’s friend is almost as dangerous as being his enemy. Senna knows that better men than he have been sacrificed to Nero’s madness—he’s the one who tells them to fall on their swords. He hates what he’s become to keep his family safe. He hates Nero more.</span><br style="color: #333333;" /><br style="color: #333333;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Aenor is a newly-enslaved Bructeri trader, brutalized and humiliated for Nero’s entertainment. He’s homesick and frightened, but not entirely cowed. He’s also exactly what Senna has been looking for: a slave strong enough to help him assassinate Nero.</span><br style="color: #333333;" /><br style="color: #333333;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">It’s suicide, but it’s worth it. Senna yearns to rid Rome of a tyrant, and nothing short of death will bring him peace for his crimes. Aenor hungers for revenge, and dying is his only escape from Rome’s tyranny. They have nothing left to lose, except the one thing they never expected to find—each other.</span></i></span><br />
