He knelt in front of her with a bouquet of red sunflowers. They looked like a sunset exploded over the soft slim petals. His hair was thick and dark, just begging for her fingers to slide their way through their silky locks. The smile he wore was devilishly handsome. But it was his eyes that had caused her breath to hitch in her throat. Such love and devotion stared at her from those amber spheres. Hailey felt his love shining out of those eyes of his, felt it to her core. This man was everything to her, and he was finally getting off his ass and on his knee to ask her to mate him.

Apparently her declaration of wanting to spend forever with him was not good enough. He had to do it his way and that meant waiting three months for him to finally get around to this. Hailey’s patience had been wearing thin on the subject. Every time she would ask about their mating, he would smile, a secret hiding in the expression and tell her to not worry about it. He must have forgotten who he was talking to because worrying was a favorite pastime of Hailey’s.

But now, in this moment, he was getting around to doing what she had dreamed countless nights on. Sharply dressed in one of her favorite suits, he looked cleaned, pressed and sexy as hell. He wanted to look nice for her, she realized. Dak knew how much she enjoyed looking at him in a suit, it was like lingerie to a woman. Hailey however was something of a mess. She had been painting a bookshelf and for some reason, the paint was more attracted to her than the wood. She had blue smudges all over her arms and legs, matting a few pieces of her hair and a big spot on her cheek where a mosquito had bitten her and she slapped at it.

Dak reached into his jacket and pulled out a box. It was small and one every woman knew the shape of by heart.

“Céile,” he paused, mischief glittering his eyes. The anticipation that has nestled in her chest and the smile that had been growing on her face faltered. His expression wasn’t right. It didn’t match the situation. He was too excited, too mischievous and too playful. “Will you… hold these for me?” He handed her the flowers and bent to…tie his shoe?

What the fuck?

Hailey stared open mouthed, gaping and hands full. Without thinking, she flipped opened the box and found it to be empty. Her breath was ragged as color began to creep up her neck. This wasn’t the proposal she had thought it was going to be. Hell, it wasn’t even a proposal! What was he playing?

When Dak was done tying his shoe, he stood and took the flowers and box back from her. “Thanks,” he grinned and she wanted to smack him. “Oh wait, no. These are yours.” He handed back the flowers. “How’s the painting going?”

Still a bit shell shocked, Hailey took back the flowers but didn’t say anything. Her eyes were wide and she felt she had no control over her features as her mind raced. How could he just? When he knew that she? And then he?

Dak was smiling at her, knowingly. The Bastard.

“Sorry, Céile. I’ve got to get this box over to Dane.” He tossed it in the air and caught it. Her eyes followed the flip. “What would you like for dinner later? I’ve been craving Mexican, myself.”

Hailey finally found her voice. “T-that’s fine.”

“Good.” He kissed her cheek, the non-painted one and then walked passed her over to Dane’s cottage.

She found that even though he had given her flowers, she still wanted to throat punch him.

Blog Tour: Seeking Davi by Megan Slayer

Seeking Davi

by Megan Slayer

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: M/M, Paranormal, Contemporary, Erotic, LGBT

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A place to belong and strong arms to hold him—but will this shifter get what he needs?

After being rescued and taken to the Sanctuary, a refuge for lion shifters, Talisman knows he’s safe. But he’s restless. All the other shifters have paired up, except Talisman and one other shifter. The guy is fine, but he doesn’t make Talisman’s heart beat or his lion roar. Talisman refuses to give up looking for what he wants, but he never expected love to come running, stark naked, through a hole in the fence.

Davi doesn’t understand what’s happened to him. One minute, he’s a happy lion at the petting
zoo. The next, he’s being hunted and humans want to use his head as a trophy. When his hope
is almost gone, two lions appear to show him an escape route. At the Sanctuary, he realizes his
power to shift and the desires of a human male. He doesn’t trust humans, but there’s one shifter
Talisman and Davi must decide whether to give in to their animal urges or let the ghosts of the
past tear their world apart for good. No matter what they choose, there’s one person who
doesn’t want anyone, especially the shifters, to get their happy ending. As Talisman and Davi
seek forever, it just might be ripped right out of their hands.

The guy waited for the longer haired man to walk away then he sat in the grass. He didn’t say
Davi watched him, unsure what to do. His cat wanted to sniff out the stranger and scope out the
situation. Did Davi trust his cat? Yes, but not that man.

Neither Davi or the guy sitting in the grass moved for what seemed like forever. Finally, the man
spoke.

“Davi? My name is Talisman. I don’t know if you remember me from the petting zoo, but I
was there with you.”

 He didn’t look at Davi or even in Davi’s direction. “I think I’m a few months
older than you. I remember being in the pens, having the kids pet us and feeling wonderful.
Then the good feelings stopped. I know you’re scared. I was scared, too. Unlike the humans at
the petting zoo, we won’t hurt you here.”

Davi debated sitting up but remained hunched down. Maybe, he could trust Talisman, but he didn't remember him.

“It’s scary. You’ve shifted, and you don’t understand why. I know. I’ve been there. I didn’t shift
until I was safe, but when it happened, I didn’t understand what was going on. It’s okay.” He
glanced over to where Davi hid. “If you don’t come out, I can’t help you. I promise. I won’t hurt
you, and I’ll help you get used switching between your cat and human forms.”

“No.” Davi kept hiding, but decided to at least try to talk to Talisman.

“Can you come out?” Talisman crawled across the grass, closer to Davi. “Would it help if I
shifted?” He didn’t wait for an answer. Instead, he yanked his shirt up over his head then stood
and shoved his pants down his legs. He kicked out of the boots and stood nude before Davi.
Davi watched Talisman move. Wow. He’d never seen a naked man before, but if that’s what
they looked like, he liked what he saw. His cat wasn’t upset, either.

Talisman dropped to his knees and placed his hands in the grass. He lowered his head then
wriggled. Fur sprouted on Talisman’s shoulders and back. His teeth elongated and a growl
ripped from his throat. The fur spread down his chest to his belly and covered his legs. His
hands and feet shifted into paws. When he shook his head, thick fur sprouted behind his ears
and beneath his chin. Before Davi’s eyes, the man shifted into the lion.

Cover Reveal: Retribution by Natasha Knight

Title: Retribution

By: Natasha Knight

Publication Date: January 12, 2016

Cover Design: Mayhem Cover Creations

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Adam

Payback’s a bitch — or it would be for Elle.

Fifteen years ago, my sister was kidnapped. For months, she’d endured hell. Somehow, she’d survived it. Someway, she’d escaped her captors. But it hadn’t mattered. In fact, it had been like losing her twice, because six weeks after she came home, she was dead, and the man responsible was alive and well, oblivious to her fate, ignorant to what he had coming.

Fifteen years I’d been waiting for this moment, all that time, planning, preparing, readying to put things into motion. To finally make the SOB pay for what he’d done.

Killing him was too easy. Too quick. No. There was a much better way to exact revenge.

Take what he loved best.

Break it.

Break her.

I just didn’t realize that in the process of destroying the girl, I’d destroy myself.

Elle

“I only want your pain.”

I hadn’t understood what those words meant, not really. Not until he made me understand.

I noticed Adam the very first day he moved into my building. He was a badass on a bike in a thousand-dollar suit. When he looked at me, it was with a hunger just this side of obscene. One glance from him and I was lost.

Our meetings were strange, accidental. Too coincidental. There was something about Adam. Something I couldn’t put my finger on.

Something I couldn’t resist.

He told me I didn’t know him. He warned me to run as far from him as I could. He was moody. Dark. I’d found it romantic. I didn’t know, and I wouldn’t realize until it was too late that he’d meant for me to heed his warnings. That some part of him had hoped I would run, that I would escape him.

For too many years, vengeance had fueled him. It had taught him hate. The object of that hate? My father. And me? I was the means to my father’s end. Adam would destroy my father by destroying me. 

I accused him of being a monster, of being no different than those who took his sister, but even in the harshest moments, all I could see in his eyes was pain. And like a fool, all I wanted was to touch that darkness.

To make it light.

Retribution is a full-length, complete Dark Romantic Suspense novel. No Cliffhanger. Intended for mature readers.

Book Blast: Christmas in Cornwall by Tamara Gill

CHRISTMAS IN CORNWALL
GENRE: Regency Holiday Romance

After two failed seasons in town, May Stanford sees her future no longer with her family, but in a nearby convent where she’ll not be anyone’s financial burden.

 But before she can embark onher new life, May must complete her dealings with the local smugglers, men who have kept aroof over her family’s head during frugal times. One last Christmas at home and her life would change forever. So when William Scott, the Earl of Grandison arrives and crumbles her perfectly planned future to rubble, May is less than pleased.

William, Lord Grandison works for the Crown, and is determined to catch the nuisance Englishmen who dare smuggle along the Cornwall coast. William has never veered from his pursuit of these men working against the law, that was until he meets May Stanford, the maddening daughter of his host for Christmas. May drives him to distraction and forces him to admit to feelings he has never felt before.

But when May and William discover the crippling truth of each other, their secrets will threaten to tear them apart.



Excerpt One:

May’s little brother sat beside her, staring in silence at the ocean to the left of the carriage. He
was angry at her decision, his sullen face throwing daggers at her every so often. But she
refused to be a burden to him in the years to come. It would be hard enough for her sibling to
keep the estate without the added stress of a spinster sister who ate his food and needed
clothing and board. Becoming a nun allowed her the life she wanted to lead without straining her
family’s coffers.

“Explain to me again just why a beautiful young woman such as you wishes to lock herself away
in such a place. Now, don’t get me wrong, May, I’ve always encouraged you to make your own
decisions, but it’s a convent. You’ll be married to God. I fear you will regret your choice,” her
father said.

May cringed, hating his dejected tone, or that she’d had the same argument numerous times
with her papa. Today, finally, she’d been able to persuade him to make the five-mile trip to the
convent and meet the mother superior. It may not have been what she’d always wanted, but it
was for the best considering her changed opinion on husbands and the family’s circumstances,
which were worsening every year. “This is my choice to make. I know it’s not something you
agree with, but I’ll be happy there. I know I will.”
