Theirs To Take: Cover Reveal #Newrelease

I've been absent from here for a while, but I've been working hard in that time and I have a book to show for it. 

When I started to write this book, I thought I'd do something post-apocalyptic, similar to Given to the Savage, but I think I'm the ultimate pantser because it turned into a contemporary romantic suspense. 

The one thing I did know I wanted to do was to write about brothers...and a ménage. 

I'm thrilled to present the cover for Theirs To Take, which will be released this coming Wednesday, April 22nd.

Did I mention abduction, an auction, and brothers? Yes, brothers again... sigh...

Eva Webb didn't know what she'd find the night she secretly followed her fiancé. She had feared he was meeting another woman. 

But it was so much worse than that.

"My fiancé betrayed me, stealing me in the night, packing me on that truck like an animal to be sold to the highest bidder."

But when the vehicle is ambushed, she is delivered into the hands of her fiancé's worst enemies: vigilante brothers who would stop at nothing to bring him down.

For Gabriel and Syn Rivera, hijacking the truck and stealing its cargo was another job, another way of taking back what was stolen from them.

Discovering Eva on board was a bonus.

They now held in their grasp the one thing that could take down an entire organization, making her a pawn in a deadly game — a game in which she would need their protection to survive. But that protection would come at a price: the brothers, who have always shared their women, would require Eva's submission.

Eva would soon learn, though, that in a world where criminals often wear two faces, lust can easily be confused for love — and putting your trust in the wrong people can be a deadly mistake.

Publisher’s Warning: Intended for mature readers. Over 18 only.

This romantic suspense includes MFM Ménage (no sexual contact between the men), graphic sexuality and elements of BDSM. If such content might offend you, please don’t buy this book.

A huge huge huge thanks to Casey McKay, Cara Bristol and Trent Evans for their help in writing this blurb. Help and patience. Lots of patience. I should post what I started with someday just for laughs... 

Another huge thanks to Rachel Olson who is responsible for that cover. She listened to what I was thinking, then pulled images together I may have overlooked and said 'wait, let me mock it up for you' and wow!

J is for Judgment: Spanking A-Z Blog Hop Challenge and Celeste Jones' Spanking Stories Book Club

Today I'm on J for Spanking Romance and Celeste Jones' Blog Hop challenge. I'm missed a letter or two but such is my life...

I think most people reading this have heard of Maren Smith, yes? Maybe read one or two of her books??? Did you also know she writes under the name Denise Hall? I did not even though it's right there on her website, but this book Judgment was recommended to me by a friend when I asked for a little bit of an edgier read.  So I picked it up and I read it. No, I devoured it. Then I quickly read it again before screaming at suggesting to everyone I knew to go get the book and read it as it is THAT good.

Why did this book have such an impact on me? There are so many reasons. First, the scenario is an abduction - a girl is kidnapped then sold to Judgment to be trained as a sexual slave. But one look at her and the Mountain Lord decides he needs to have her, to break her and ultimately, to keep her...

There's one line from the story I still hear echoing in my mind: 'This one loves her Master heart and soul." I'll share a little snippet below to entice and I hope you'll pick up a copy and join us on July 4th when I will be hosting Celeste Jones' Book Club discussion to discuss this book.

"How long, I wonder," he panted, "before the beast within demands your suffering again." He rolled his head to look at me, but I turned my face away, I was so ashamed. "Already I want to have you brought to me again before Lights Out. You'll be tender, I'm sure. I could tie you on your back and watch you cry out as I savor the tightness of your beautiful cunt. I will suckle at your breasts, use my teeth on your clit. I will hurt you, and I will make you love it."

I groaned, sobbing into my arms as he climbed over me and got out of bed. He stroked my back, an idle gesture that felt more like an assertion of possession than one meant to comfort. 

He patted my hip, "Now, to take care of that other business."

Tane went back to the chest and brought out a well-oiled, black leather strap. It was a fearsome thing, four inches wide and very thick. It made a raspy sound as he dragged it over his palm, feeling the supple length. 

"You've earned nine with this. I honestly can't remember the last time I personally dealt out such a minor punishment. Hardly seems worth the effort. Still..." he measured the tail of the strap against the distance he stood away from  me, "...you aren't a hardened female yet, so a mere nine might make a lasting impression."

Blurb

Abandoned to the whims of Judgment's ruthless masters, Callie McGuire descends into the depths of this prison, discovering a new capacity for sensuality as she becomes Mischief, the personal plaything of the Mountain Lord.
