Synopsis

When Harper got pregnant at fourteen, her family abandoned her to be a single mother with no support system. She survived the only way she knew how—hard work and determination. Now she is a nurse in her early thirties, and her son Jamie is ready to embark on high school. Harper can finally say they’ve made it. She can’t take all the credit, though.

 

Dakota Daughtry isn’t family, but when he signed on to be a Big Brother to Jamie, he finally felt at home…

 

Joining the Big Brother community program was only meant to boost Dakota’s resume while working on his GED. Once he met Jamie and his mother Harper, he finally found a place where he belonged. Years later, Jamie is graduating the program, and his obligation to hang around is over, but he can’t make himself leave. Jamie is more like a son than a little brother now, and Harper…well, he’s been trying to deny his feelings for her all along.

 

Jamie is thrilled about the blossoming relationship between his mother and Dakota. His birth father Aiden, not so much…

 

Aiden doesn’t want Harper—he’s too focused on his career for that—but he doesn’t want Dakota to have her either, and he’s willing to play dirty to ruin Harper and Dakota’s chances at becoming a real family. But things get complicated when Aiden starts to develop actual feelings for Harper’s best friend, and a secret is revealed about Dakota’s past that could change everything…

 

Harper must choose…family or love? Or can she finally have both?

 

Excerpt

Harper walks into her house smiling from ear to ear. She drops her car keys on the table by the door and walks into the living room. She sees no sign of Jamie or Dakota, so she walks straight to the kitchen.

“You can’t be serious, D. Come on,” Jamie says, his face contorted.

“I’m dead serious.”

“If you could be in any action movie it would be The Fast and the Furious?” The two are seated at the kitchen table, a tub of vanilla ice cream between them as they argue. Harper leans up against the archway, watching them while they are completely unaware of her presence. Dakota nods enthusiastically as he sticks a spoonful of vanilla ice cream into his mouth.

“Yes, and I don’t like your judgy little tone. Hot cars, hot races, hot chicks? Enough said.”

“Whatever, man. I would be Bruce Willis any day.”

“Bruce Willis? B. Willis? He has one facial expression and he talks in that same monotone voice like he’s constipated.”

“Oh and Vin is sooo much better? He’s incapable of wearing anything other than the tightest white or black t-shirt in the entire world and come on, you’re not fooling anyone with your racial ambiguity. Trying to be all mysterious.” Dakota almost chokes on his ice cream as he snorts, laughing at Jamie. Jamie starts laughing too. Harper can’t help but laugh too, blowing her cover.

Author Interview

1. What inspired you to become a Multicultural, IR or BWWM Romance writer?

Great question. I found the niche after I wrote Forbidden Dance, a steamy Interracial Romance Novella. The sales spiked in a way I have not seen before. Readers’ response to Alero, Kyle and Zane’s love triangle opened my eyes and heart to IR/BWWM and it was the push I needed to carry on writing in this genre. And I have written only IR books since then.

2. Besides writing, what are some of your favorite things?

Swimming and lying on my back like a star fish in the pool fills me with so much excitement. Watching TV and going to the cinema with my family is always a great experience. Knitting mufflers is a skill I picked up a few years ago and I enjoy it a lot. Playing board games with my family is fabulous.

3. Name at least two (2) authors that you admire who write Multicultural, IR or BWWM Romance?

Chicki Brown and Simone Beaudelaire.

4. What types or genre of books do you enjoy reading? What are you currently reading?

For sure contemporary and historical romance are my two top genres to read. Right now, I’m reading Fallen Angel from Revenge to Redemption by Deborah Brandon. And I’m enjoying Shanice and Darren’s story.

5. Are you working on anything new? If so, when can we expect it to be released?

Yes, I owe my readers the sequel to my historical novel, Royal Cowries.

And I have completed the first draft of a new Interracial Romance story. God willing, both books will be released before 2016 ends.

A third book is scheduled for early 2017 because I have the stunning book cover created already.

6. Do you have any scheduled upcoming events; such as book signings, interviews, etc.?

Well, I feature my books on my blog from time to time, I engage in author takeover events on Facebook and I sometimes run book tours & giveaways.

7. Where do you expect to be in your career as an author five (5) years from now?

Only God knows. But I fully intend to carry on writing sizzling hot Flirty & Feisty Romance Novels to delight my readers. Plus, I intend to help upcoming writers with the experience I have acquired over the years.

8. What advice can you give to new authors who’s interested in writing in this genre?

Interracial Readers are loyal and keep coming back for more.

Give voice to characters who have heart and soul. Also give readers a peek into the culture, food and people of the interracial characters. And create tension, conflicts and throw in twists to add a bit of zest to your stories.

Above all, get your book proof read and edited by someone who is skilled, not necessarily at a high cost. You could swap with an author you admire and get them to edit for you.

Don’t forget to get an attractive book cover, it is the first thing that catches readers’ interest and it does not have to be expensive. My cover designer, Maria Lazarou creates attractive book covers and promo materials at super affordable prices.

Believe me, as an indie author I have experienced my fair share of challenges but if you keep writing and you are not afraid to fail to grow, you will stand the test of time.

Special message from Stella to you …

Flirty & Feisty Romance Novels have characters with passion, story lines with strong emotional tension, deep romance and love that overcomes conflict. Every book has a theme and it is my hope that after reading, you are touched in more ways than one. I value every reader and I encourage you to pick up my book if you want to escape to an exotic location with great characters.

If he was not attracted to her, he would not have had a hard-on Elna quickly reminded herself. “Deny your attraction for as long as you like, you know you want me, Tonye,” Elna said through tight lips.

Release Blitz

Title: Stadium of Lights: A Second Chance Sports Romance

Author: Tia Lewis

Genre: Steamy Sports Romance

Release Date: September 19th, 2016

 

He can’t help claiming her. But can he love her?

Max Anderson enjoys all the perks of being a star NFL quarterback―including the women. He has no intention of changing his carefree, hard-loving lifestyle … until a twist of fate reunites him with the girl he knew growing up.

Abby Morrison has worked hard to become a physical therapist. She knows she needs to keep things professional with Max — but the truth is, she’s always loved him. Back then, she hid it. Now, it’s not so easy.

As they rekindle their friendship, the heat between them is impossible to ignore. Soon it flares out of control, and the fallout threatens to ruin everything. Can they salvage a future together … or will the consequences wreck their lives?

ADD TO GOODREADS

The time came around nine o’clock when we’d all stuffed ourselves. Abby stood up from the table, a little wobbly. I swooped in, waiting for her to decide it was time to go.

“Come on. I’ll take you home,” I murmured, taking her by the elbow. She looked up at me.

“No,” she murmured.

“What?”

“No. I don’t want you to take me home. Now will you move?”

“Wait. Slow down.”

“I want somebody else, Max. Now move.”

“Who?”

“Anybody. It doesn’t matter. Just not you.” She shook me off—thank God we’d both been whispering, or practically, because it didn’t seem like anybody else noticed. I followed her out the door to the restaurant’s entrance.

“You can’t drive in this condition,” I warned her.

“Then I’ll get a cab. You can leave now.” She glared at me, her cheeks flushed.

“What?”

“You ruined it. You always ruin it.”

“How the hell did I ruin anything?”

She looked back into the restaurant, frowning. “I was having fun. People were talking to me, seeing me, liking me. And you had to take over like you always do.”

My car pulled up in front of us, and I took the keys from the valet. “Come on. I’ll drive you home, and we can talk about it on the way.” I practically threw her into the car before she could curse me out, then got in myself. Once I locked the doors from my side, she couldn’t open them.

“What the fuck Max!” She slapped the dashboard, then sank into her seat with a groan. “I was having fun. I was about to get laid, damn it!”

I bit my tongue until I calmed down. “By whom?”

“I don’t know! What did it matter? I was gonna get some for me, for once. And you won’t let me. I have to always be there for you, but you can never be there for me. You couldn’t just let me enjoy myself. No, you probably wanted to tell me all about your stupid fucking cheerleader girlfriend and ask me what you should do about her!” There was so much venom in her voice. She hated me.

I pulled over to the shoulder of the road. “What are you doing?” she asked. I unbuckled my belt without saying a word, then turned to her.

“You wanna know why I wanted to take you home?” I reached out, grabbing her by the shoulders. I pulled her to me before she could push me away and crushed my mouth against hers.

She only fought me for a split second before giving in. She sighed, relaxing, and I wrapped my arms around her. Her lips were so sweet, soft and yielding. When I slid my tongue between them, they opened to give me better access. I tasted the inside of her mouth, taking my time. This girl who had been my friend for so long, and she was right—I’d used her in a way. This girl who was always there for me without asking anything in return. This sexy, incredible girl.

The kiss deepened, with her tongue dancing alongside mine. She wrapped her arms around my neck, almost growling. Sounding hungry, desperate. I ran one of my hands over her body, listening to the way the breath caught in her throat. She whined a little, pressing against me, and when I made contact with her tits she moaned into my mouth.

By the time the kiss ended, we were both breathless. Her eyes were wide, stunned.

“That’s why,” I whispered, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

Good Morning authors and readers! Welcome Back to Vaneka’s Book Blog. We hope you had an awesome weekend. Mines was great. Our family celebrated my Grandmother’s birthday on Saturday. She turned 84 years old on September 15^th. She really enjoyed herself and it felt good to spend time with her. She’ll always have a big piece of my heart. Ok, enough about me.

 

Today marks Day 10 of the Swirling Around Love Multicultural, IR & BWWM blog Event. I’m truly enjoying featuring these awesome authors. I mean who doesn’t love, love and enjoy reading about it? We have ML Preston with us today. So let’s give her a warm welcome.

 

ML Preston

 

ML Preston, voted one of the Top 50 Sexy Writers by Publishing Addict 2015, debuted her first novel, Unthinkable, (ML Preston Publisher, 2015) and has been bringing the heat ever since. She engages her audience with tantalizing tales of the classic boy meets girl stories and mix things up with second chances or even a one-night stand that leads to more. Her heroines are always career driven, beautiful, and independent. The heroes have a bit of an Alpha male attitude and the bank accounts to support it, but they are more hands on, independent types and do not like to exploit their wealth.

 

Born in Oklahoma City, she now resides in Fort Worth, Texas where she likes to sing, dance, and cook when she is not writing. ML is married with three kids and a fur baby, and she chooses to write as an escape from the mundane day to day, that coupled with a few glasses of wine.

Author Interview

 

1. What inspired you to become a Multicultural, IR or BWWM Romance writer?

 

I wanted to write the story I want to read. There are a few authors/authoresses out there that write IR/MC romance but not many write from the BWWM perspective. This genre needs exposure for the world to see that IR between Black and White is not always BMWW.

 

2. Besides writing, what are some of your favorite things?

 

I love to cook, sing, and pretend I can dance. In addition to hanging out with family and friends, you can always catch me reading. Unless I’m writing. I try not to read while I write.

 

3. Name at least two (2) authors that you admire who write Multicultural, IR or BWWM Romance?

 

Well, before I began to write, my exposure to BWWM was Dez Burke, primarily. Since I started this wonderful journey, I have enjoyed Theresa Hodge, Shantee Parks, Lolah Lace and Phoenix Rayne to name a few.

 

4. What types or genre of books do you enjoy reading? What are you currently reading?

 

I read all genres to be honest, but I mainly find my interests in Contemporary Romance/Erotica. My last read was Phaelyn by Ariel Marie (I have a lot to catch up on).

 

5. Are you working on anything new? If so, when can we expect it to be released?

 

I will be working on an untitled standalone about a teacher and student (college). The Southern Charm series will have two more episodes released in September and the untitled will come next year. I will also be working on closing out the Undeniable series 2017 as well.

 

6. Do you have any scheduled upcoming events; such as book signings, interviews, etc.?

 

I am scheduled for three book signings next year

 

• Book Obsessed Babes –Jacksonville, FL April 2017

 

• Deliciously Dirty in Dallas – Dallas, TX May 2017

 

• Booker Author Event – Orlando, FL July 2017

 

7. Where do you expect to be in your career as an author five (5) years from now?

 

My goal is to be able to do this full time without the assistance of a traditional 9-5. I would be able to enjoy what I love to do, and learn more about the business side of writing without having to schedule it around work.

 

8. What advice can you give to new authors who’s interested in writing in this genre?

 

Not to borrow from a popular slogan but, Just Do It! Sometimes you have to take that leap (or in my case, my friend gently pushed me) and step outside the box, your comfort level, or the predicted norms. You will have questions, worries, and some critics, but not everything is for everyone. The first person to please is yourself, others will follow if not, then they will appreciate you and move forward with their lives.

 

 

Special message from ML to you …

 

This has been a long and exciting journey and I am thankful that you have decided to take this ride with me. I thank you for your love and support, until next time…Hugs-N-Kisses!❤

Book Excerpt ~ Untouchable

 

He opens the door and I stand here dressed in my naughty nurse’s uniform and a smile. My breasts are coming out the top and you can see the red garter belts I’m wearing. My hair is curly, just the way he likes it and crazy wild. I want to make this a memorable night for him. Dr. Phan tried to call Nick earlier to advise of his status and was unable to reach him. She then called me since he left my information as a contact. I begged her not to tell him and let me do it my way. She agreed and I left work early to plan the whole ruse. The Mr. Anderson he thought he heard was actually the moving company. Samantha found me the costume at a store, and I took care of the rest.

 

“What the fuck, are you doing?” He grabs me and pulls me closer so his neighbors could not see me half-naked as this costume leaves nothing to the imagination.

 

“So, aren’t you gonna let me in? I mean, I do have orders to make sure you take your medicine.” I reach down into his joggers and twirl my finger around the head of his engorged cock. He lets out a deep sigh, grabs me by my head, and kisses me, hard. I push him off me, force him back into his place, and close the door.

 

“Maya, you know we can’t do this.” He says as I force him into the chair behind him. I go to his surround system and connect my iPhone to stream my music. The sounds of Beyoncé’s Rocket begins to come out through the speakers. I walk over to him, straddle him, back to front, and gyrate my hips on top of his dick causing him to moan and hiss aloud.

 

“So, you know that this no sex thing is over regardless of doctor’s orders, right?” He declares as he grabs my hands while they were on my breast. He begins to help me unzip my costume and I stand up allowing it to fall to the ground; exposing my red bra and matching panties with garter belt. I take my foot and place it, carefully, in between his legs while I unhook my bra, twirl it around, and toss it to him. I continue to dance for him, bending over forward showing him that I was wearing seat less panties and slowly standing erect again. I turn to face him then drop to my knees and slowly crawl, on beat of course, towards him. Complete with the hair tossing, stops in between verses to build excitement, and the occasional wink and licking of the lips. When I make it to my destination, I slowly stand, straddle him, and at the climatic part of the song, throw my head back to display pleasure as I pull his face into my tits. He licks me right in the middle of my breast and slowly up to the base of my neck slowly pulling me face to face with him.

 

“Why do you insist on torturing me like this?”

 

“Who says I was torturing you?” I whisper in his ear as I lick it then slightly tug on his ear with my teeth.

 

“Dr. Phan says…” He starts before I interrupt.

 

“Dr. Phan says you are all clear. I talked to her today. Oh, I’m sorry; did you not get that memo?” I laugh at the attempt at humor I am trying to show, but something in his eyes rocks me to my core. It isn’t menacing or sadist or even angry. It was hunger, longing, desire. All rolled into one deep gaze. I feel like I unlocked Pandora’s Box and am in for a hell of a ride.

 

“Clear?” He asks. I nod my head in agreement and instinctively place my arms around his neck. He stands, walks us to the nearest wall, and pins me against it with my hands above my head.

 

“I love you, Maya. I really do, but I’m going to fuck you into submission. It’s been too long.”

 

He uses one hand to keep mine in place and with the other, he pulls out his dick and rams into me so hard, the picture on the wall fell. I let out a loud yelp, expressing both pleasure and a release at the same time.

 

“Nick. I cry out as he rams me again. Placing his hands alongside my face, he pulls me to him and kisses me. Biting my lips and sucking at them. Slowly moving to my neck, nipping and sucking as he went.

 

“Christ! I. Fucking. Love. You.” His words pierce me deep; it was like an apology was coming from his lips. He starts to mumble the words I don’t want to lose you, just don’t leave me. Tears begin to fall from my eyes as I listen to the pain coming from his quiet pleas. His rhythm begins to increase until we both explode at the same time.

Author Interview

1. What inspired you to become a Multicultural, IR or BWWM Romance writer?

Since I’m a multi-genre author, the stories that I write are mainly the stories that have strike my interest. When I first started out in the industry, IR or Multicultural stories were all that I was writing because not only do I love the genre, but I have a bit of experience with it.

2. Besides writing, what are some of your favorite things?

Before becoming a writer, I was a reader first, but I don’t really have the time for it any longer, so I hope to get back into reading because there are a lot of great stories out that I haven’t had a chance to read.

Besides that, I love to shop, watch TV (when I have the time), and spend time with my family.

3. Name at least two (2) authors that you admire who write Multicultural, IR or BWWM Romance?

Lolah Lace and Xyla Turner

4. What types or genre of books do you enjoy reading? What are you currently reading?

IR, of course, romance, women’s fiction, and Christian fiction. Currently, I’m not reading anything.

5. Where do you expect to be in your career as an author five (5) years from now?

I would love to be on the NYT Best-Seller list. Since I started one of my goals as a publisher this year, I would like to start my other goal in the next few years by owning my own bookstore that caters to indie AA romance authors.

6. What advice can you give to new authors who’s interested in writing in this genre?

Never give up on your dreams. There will be a lot of naysayers and negativity surrounding you, even from the ones you would never think to be towards you, but you have to keep pushing to reach your ultimate goal. Also, always do your research. This was something that I didn’t do starting out; even though I have faced a lot of issues, I wouldn’t have traded those moments because it made me become a wiser author and a stronger person.

Special message from Sheena to you …

To everyone who have read my books, I would love to take the time and say thank you. Thank you so much for taking a chance on me and for allowing me to share my stories to you. Writing has been a hobby of mine since I was nine years old and I never imagined that I would turn it into a career. I love creating new storylines and different characters, so for me, I’m still living my dream. So again, thank you all so much and I hope you all continue to read my stories for years to come.

Author Interview

Everything about life inspires me my writing, from what happens to us, to what doesn’t, and what I think should and shouldn’t.

Theresa Hodge and Kirsten Campbell

 

4. What types or genre of books do you enjoy reading? What are you currently reading?

6. What advice can you give to new authors who’s interested in writing in this genre?

 

Learn and research everything before signing on any dotted lines and write their story their way. Ultimately, you want to give the readers a spectacular read, but if you don’t love the story first then it’s not right, and you can’t please everyone.

 

 

Special message from London to you …

To all of my readers, future and present, I do not write novels for just  when the world has grown cold toward us, but to relax and release, and give everyone an alternate reality to reside in where there is danger, lust, love, mayhem, murder, and sizzling sex scenes all in the same setting, to keep you turning the pages. This is my gift to anyone that uses their precious time to enter my world where anything can happen at the flick of the wrist.

Book Excerpt ~ The Other Man 3: Dangerous Love and Secrets

 

“Blazier, stop. It’s too much,” she yells, not caring who hears her begging for him to stop but silently hoping it never ends. He ignores her until the ripples slashing at her body stop on their own, letting her find some relief from her release, but not from Blazier’s body attacking pleasure zone after pleasure zone within her.

Another orgasm begins to build at a rapid pace in Jané’s core. It’s coming too fast and she isn’t sure if she’ll survive this one, or at least be able to stay awake afterward, but too many lives depend on her doing both.

“Hurry,” she begs.

He smirks and drops his mouth over hers.

“You think I don’t know when you’re about to cum, Jané. Think again, love,” he says against her lips before rocketing through her body like a battering ram.

She feels a cold draft on her outer thighs wrapped behind his back, looks around, wondering where the breeze’s coming from, and finds Quon standing in the opened doorway.

“Well damn, you could’ve asked me to join,” Quon says as soon as she lays eyes on him. “Just because we’re divorcing does not mean I can’t participate anymore. I heard ex sex is the best, or so Blazier says,” he jokes, crosses his arms over his chest, and continues to observe.

It dawns on Jané that her soon-to-be ex-husband has stolen into the room, watching them have sex. The storm building in her center breaks. Her orgasm sends her into the dark skies. Blazier’s head swivels to the right to glare at Quon then he shoves all the way up into her before filling her tunnel with his own stickiness. She shuts her eyes tight to endure the pressure in her core releasing and making stars appear behind her eyelids, and screams until it’s over. That’s when the situation grows awkward for her. Even if she’s no longer with Quon, no one wants to get caught with their pants down or off, in her case.

“Jesus Quon!” she shouts, “What the hell are you doing in here?”

He shrugs and cocks his head.

“I came looking for you since it didn’t seem that you were coming back. Now I know why. You sure you aren’t my equal in every way, Jané, because I could’ve sworn we just went through this at the club.” Then, he throws his head back, laughs heartily at the irony, and walks out, closing the door behind him.

Jané finds it ironic that she may have cheated Quon out of many opportunities to find the woman that would’ve tried to remove a testicle for each woman she caught coming out of the hallway in front of him at the club. It saddens her for him that their love was never the forever kind of love people fight to hold on to, but the kind that shelters people who have secrets to hide and holes in their heart that make them afraid to be alone. Nor is she shocked that Quon’s taking the situation so well. She doesn’t know if she would have, had it been Blazier that she walked in on at the club or just now.

Book Excerpt ~ Your Secret’s Safe With Me (Part 3)

The bedroom door opened wide, Rod and Giselle came out with luggage. They walked past me, and I kept my attention on the bedroom’s thresh hold. She appeared in the doorway. Her cheeks and nose both were red. Once those eyes met mine, I knew she’d been crying. She held her cosmetic box and rolled out her Mac Zuca bag. I’d bought her that last year. I kept going to the bathroom and couldn’t even brush my damn teeth for her all of her cosmetics covering the sink. The lady at the store said everyone who was anyone had the Zuca bag. She had four Mac makeup boxes that she consolidated into the Zuca bag. She loved that bag; she talked about it for weeks to her friends. Giselle ended up getting one because Cam repeatedly told her how much she loved it. I had done well with that purchase.

Cambria stopped next to island and dug into her purse. She pulled out her Arkansas Razorback keychain and her iPhone sitting them both on the marble top. Rod held the door open for her. She wouldn’t make eye contact with me. She just walked right passed me not saying a word. Dad and I were the only one’s watching her. Everyone else was to involved with Phillip and Roxy’s break down. I couldn’t feel anything for them yet. I was too far gone to give a damn. Dad watched me and then he frowned. He looked at the door, then at me, then back the door, and back at me. I knew he wanted me to go after her, but I couldn’t do that. He shook his head and then walked to over to Mom and Olympia. He wrapped an arm around both of their waists. He was giving me a window to take. A window to go and talk to Cam without an audience. I looked at the door, and Rod was closing it. I caught it before the latch could connect. I opened it back up and slid out.
