Nan Meyers returns to her beloved hometown of Willow Springs a broken woman, ten months after leaving for what was supposed to be a short vacation with her brother. For years she’d enjoyed an active sexual lifestyle at the local BDSM club owned by her friends, but the trauma she endured while away has stripped her of those pleasures, leaving her determined to get her life back.

EXCERPT:
 PG
“The sub I remember would have vibrated with excitement at the mention of punishment and jumped to embrace the prospect.”  
That deep voice, the only one to slither past the fear and pain numbing her mind during three days of huddling in cold, complete darkness, now drew a wave of rippling uncertainty.  After taking another long drink, she swiveled to face Dan, leaned forward with a small grin and managed to pull up the old Nan still struggling to re-emerge.  
“Master Dan.  For you, I might change my mind.”
Apparently, she wouldn’t make a good actress.  His narrowed dark eyes and tight set to his mouth signaled he saw through her attempt to flirt and tease with him.  She didn’t like the calculated gleam that entered his eyes as he removed his hat and tossed it on the bar top.  He fisted his hands on his hips, drawing her gaze to the thick, wide belt around his waist and she recalled the sting of the supple leather snapping across her buttocks.  The quick, welcome rush of heat subsided as he held out his hand, a silent invitation he’d issued, and she’d accepted, countless times before.
Nan started to reach for him, ignoring the churning in her gut, determined to move forward no matter what, when the sudden whoosh and snap of leather striking bare skin followed by a high-pitched screech echoed down from the loft and pitched her back into that dark space where the same sound had delivered waves of excruciating agony.  Bile pushed up to clog her throat and freeze her acceptance of Master Dan’s offer.  She squeezed her eyes shut, the only way to keep from looking up at the source of another flesh-connecting snap.  Jerking as if struck, the memory of searing pain splitting her skin and blood dripping swept back to haunt her.  
“Breathe, Nan.”  Master Dan emphasized that command by pushing her head down and massaging the tight muscles of her upper back.
She fought the swell of despair and humiliation as hard as she struggled to breathe in.  I’m still as much of a pathetic mess as I was months ago.  The thought pissed her off as fast as that sound hurled her back to a place she never wanted to go again.

AUTHOR BIO:
I live in the Midwest with my husband and our dog, a lovable Great Pyrenees/Standard Poodle.  I love dogs, enjoy spending time with my daughter, babysitting dogs and kids, reading and working puzzles.  We have traveled extensively throughout the states, Canada and just once overseas, but I now prefer being a homebody.  I worked for a while writing articles for a local magazine but soon found my interest in writing for myself peaking.  My first book was strictly spanking erotica, but I slowly evolved to writing erotic spanking romance with a touch of suspense.  My favorite genre to read is suspense.

Vikings 9 #Historical #Romances to Enjoy Now for #99cents




NINE CONQUERING REASONS TO SURRENDER


Filled with action and suspense, this summer’s hottest beach read comes in the shape of Vikings!


Battle-hardened and broad-chested, with arms strong enough to sweep you off your feet, these warriors are pure muscle, with shoulders built for carrying you to bed. 


Congratulations to the nine authors who've created this shared-world series of supreme alpha hotness: Ashe Barker, Lily Harlem, Felicity Brandon, Gianna Simone, Vanessa Brooks, Sassa Daniels, Sky Purington, Emmanuelle de Maupassant and Jane Burrelli.  


A tiny Scottish settlement at the mercy of its enemies.
A harrowing bargain struck for nine fearful and reluctant brides.


Delivered into Viking hands, the brides of Achnaryrie now belong to their conquering masters but, as wedding nights bring surrender to duty, will fierce lovers also surrender their hearts?


The Highland wilderness is savage, life is perilous, and the future uncertain, but each Viking has sworn protection, and there are no lengths to which a man will not go to safeguard the woman he loves.


Against the forbidding backdrop of medieval Scotland, join these indomitable heroes and intrepid heroines as they discover that the raging storms of fear and passion can transform into enduring devotion.

Teaser snippets from the Prologue


The Vikings were merciless, murdering barbarians. And they were here.
With a despairing sob, Eithne turned from the sight below. She could still run, might be able to make it into the depths of the forest before the first of the raiders reached the village. She had perhaps a few minutes…


“To take up arms against men such as them would lead to certain death.”
“Better to die with honour—”
“Better still not to die at all. I have another idea. We shall negotiate.”


“By your presence here, I surmise you wish to speak with me.” He leaned down to murmur in her ear. “Or, if you prefer, there is still time to run for your life.”
“You would catch me,” she countered.
“Aye, probably.”
“And kill me.”
“It may not come to that.”


Intrigued, amused, and not a little astonished, Brandr folded his arms to regard her. “A bargain? You seek to bargain with me?”
“I do.” 
The female held his gaze, an accomplishment which eluded many of his most hardened warriors. His respect for her audacity and fortitude nudged upwards. “Go on.”


Happy Reading

Camille's Second Chance by Alyssa Bailey #Contemporary , #Cowboys ,#Western


Camille wants a life with Sawyer; not everyone agrees.


Blurb


“We’re going to the ranch. This Daddy is taking care of all his little ones.”


Before she was twenty-one, Camille Hendrix had been lied to, cheated on, assaulted twice, forced into a loveless marriage, divorced, and left to fend for herself with one baby and another on the way. She had also been loved by a man she left without a word of explanation and missed every day of her life. Now, with a nursing degree and two preschoolers she was determined to return to her hometown and make a life, if possible, with the only man she ever loved. But was it too much to ask? Someone in town thought so. 


Sawyer Knight was the most sought-after playboy in three counties and probably more. Everyone knew the woman he loved had suddenly left town without a word. Since then, Sawyer could be seen most weekends at the Whet Whistle, kicking up dust, getting toasted, and going home with a different woman. No woman was permanent in his life and Sawyer made that known loud and clear, until Cami came back to town. She was divorced, a mother, and life weary but when he laid eyes on her in his brother’s house, she was still the most beautiful, feisty woman he’d ever seen. Maybe more than ever because her strength of character shone through the battle scars and his heart immediately yearned for her. If he claimed her this time, he wouldn’t let her go without a fight. It seemed the first opponent had already entered the ring.


This is book two in the Clearwater Ranch series but can be enjoyed as a standalone.


Publisher’s Note: This contemporary western romance is intended for adults only. It contains elements of mystery, suspense, sensual scenes and power exchange. If any of these offend you, please do not purchase.

But tonight, regardless of what had gone before or because of it, she would agree with him and stay at the Clear Knight.

“Oh, I think we’ll be fine, Piper. In fact, we should get back before my parents go to bed.” Camille began to pick up her plate and started to clear away the other dishes. Jackson’s big hand covered hers. 

“Don’t worry, honey, I’ll get this handled after you all go to the ranch.” His meaning was clear. Go home with Sawyer and figure this out.

“Why do you have to get there before they go to bed? Was it because you were going to stay here but have now changed your mind?” asked Sawyer.

Sawyer was giving no quarter and knew she wouldn’t ask for any. Cami didn’t answer as she continued to gather her bag and reached for Lily. Sawyer was not playing any games with Camille nor was he going to keep his thoughts to himself. He’d call her on anything he felt needed to be addressed. He pushed the point with his woman.

“Don’t you have a key to the house?”

 His woman, yes, his. He still claimed her no matter what had happened in the past. He was the most complete he had been since he got her message and found out she was gone. She stared into his eyes acting as though she had been caught a naughty act and didn’t want to admit it but didn’t want to lie. His feelings for her were so intense they hurt.

 “Cami?”

She replied quietly. “No one calls me that anymore.”

“Except me. Stop avoiding my questions.”

Her heavy sigh rang out. “I had a difference of opinion with my mother and she said she didn’t want to risk the wrong people getting access to her home. Her implications were clear."

“The hell she did!” the words rolled out like thunder in a storm. 

“Daddy,” two little voices chastised, “that’s a bad word.” He grinned at the sound of being called daddy and quickly apologized. Things were definitely changing. Returning his attention to Cami, he sobered. Sawyer hadn’t missed the hitch in her voice or the trembling lip she was biting. He reached out and pulled it from between her teeth. Leaning in, he commanded in a low voice next to her ear.

“We’re going to the ranch. This daddy is taking care of all his little ones.”






Alyssa Bailey is a USA Today and International best-selling author. She loves writing realistic romance for the naughty in all of us. Power exchange adventures between strong, intelligent, sassy women who aren’t afraid to make a stand and men confident enough to give his woman space, but Alpha enough to keep her safe despite her choices is a common theme. 


Family and community is important to Alyssa and it’s one reason she loves series. She is expanding her horizons and comfort zone with every new book; that’s exciting. Sometimes, suspense and mystery stirs the plot, other times, it’s crazy day to day angst and danger. Whatever goes on before, there’s always a happily ever after ending.
