Excerpt # 2

“Have you’ve seen anything you want to take home with you?” Levi asked.

“Oh, I see something.” Tanisha purposely let her gaze flow up and down his body to linger on his midriff. “But you promised not to kiss or fuck me for thirty days, remember?”

He frowned wistfully. “I really did, didn’t I?”

“You did.” She took great pleasure in pointing this out because it was obvious that he now thought the time frame ridiculous. Same as her.

Wanting to make him further regret the impetuous decree, she did the most provocative thing she could think of. While looking him straight in the eyes, she struck a pose with one hand on a hip. Tilting her head sideways and sending over the most seductive look possible, she cupped a breast with her opposite hand, using fingertips to rub the outline of the taut nipple underneath the clinging vinyl. Then she slowly slid the hand down her body to the front of the ruffled skirt. Upon reaching the hem, she delved underneath, passing the tip of the middle finger between the slickened lips of her pussy. Bringing the finger forth, glistening with wetness, she held it out toward him.

He discreetly licked his lips, eyes following the finger as she placed it against her own lips to suck the wetness away.

Withdrawing the finger and lapsing into a giggle, she raised eyebrows most innocently, asking, “Still photography next?”

“Your choice,” he stated in a husky voice. “And don’t do that again. I’m trying to be a gentleman, remember?”

“Are you sure you don’t want a little taste for yourself?” She stared deeply into his eyes. “I’ll give you a little taste if you want?” 

About the Author:

Edgy and provocative in his writings, Thomas Briar strives to exalt the virtues of love and lust in every erotic story he creates. To date, he’s written a wide variety in the subgenres of New Adult, Contemporary, Historical, Interracial, and BDSM. He also takes great pride in the fact that he writes the type of erotic stories that twist and turn as the hero and heroine strive wholeheartedly to get exactly what they want from each other.

Which means most of his stories run on the hotter side of the erotica genre with his characters indulging in the type of sex that some would call adventurous. In fact, his descriptive writing style and graphic sex scenes will certainly evoke a reaction.

Hopefully, a positive one, but he’s making no promises. Not everyone likes to be made to feel as if they are present in the scene, surreptitiously watching the eroticism play out right before their very eyes. For, without a doubt, writing scorching hot sex scenes is Thomas’ absolute favorite thing about writing erotica.

Well, that, and making sure his characters end up living happily ever after.

Author J.M. Jinks

My favorite vacation spot is Paris, France. It might be my favorite place in the world. Being a French teacher by day means I am obsessed with all things French. Yes, I’m a Francophile!

I have definitely been inspired by Paris and by the French language and it comes out in my writing. When my editors let me get away with it, I’ll use the French word when possible. Layla, the main character in Mostly Innocent, uses phrases such as “voilà” and “au naturel.”

In Mostly Innocent, Layla mentions some of my favorite places. I recommend going to Sacré Coeur in Monmarte (Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris.) Its stark white stone is iconic, and Layla, being an artist, mentions the color in my book. Another place she mentions, is the Musée d’Orsay, where she claims to have some of her impressionist style paintings hung. Often when people think of museums in Paris, they only think of the Louvre. Don’t overlook the Musée d’Orsay, it has paintings by Monet, Manet, Toulouse Lautrec, etc. It is a must see.

Lastly, when in Paris, I recommend hanging out and staying in the Latin Quarter. This is the college part of the city, so nightlife is lively and prices are cheaper. Go to a restaurant with a “prix fixe” menu and get a three or four course meal for twenty euros each. Don’t forget the wine. I recommend any Rosé from the Aix-en-Provence region.

Tagline: If you can’t beat them, seduce them

Book Description:

Meet Layla James, your typical smart-mouthed, witty, and total pain-in-the-butt woman—except for the whole succubus thing. After nearly a millennium on Earth, Layla’s settled down in a boring life in Palm Springs until a smoking-hot hunter comes to arrest her for murder. Layla knows the rules—she'd never commit murder and incite the wrath of The Powers That Be.

Elijah Daines is a hunter, he maintains the balance of good and evil in the mortal realm. Hunters are neutral, but he’s had a hatred of evil instilled in him since birth. His power is stronger than any hunter she’s ever encountered—now he’s accused her of a crime she didn't commit.

In an unlikely pair-up, they investigate together after discovering someone is impersonating Layla in an attempt to frame her. Layla and Elijah race to exonerate her before her reputation is ruined and humans learn of a supernatural presence.

Excerpt:

He approached the counter. I, or maybe my succubus, decided on a whim I would not be intimidated by his power. I wasn’t sure where my sudden courage came from. He had to have felt my succubus signature. We weren’t a violent race when we controlled our urges. I’m Queen of Control over here. I’m sure he knows I won’t, hurt him. Right?

 But why was he here? Something must have been wrong.

As I walked toward him, I got a better look. His dark hair was in slight disarray and his bright blue eyes scoured my face. He towered over me in every sense of the word.

He and Jolene should go back-to-back so I can get an accurate measure of his height.

I shook away my thoughts of him—it was obvious he came here on a mission. Greek god or not, he was still a hunter, and I—I was a product of evil, aka something he hunts.

“Succubus,” he growled. The one little word was filled with eons of unabashed hatred. The word vibrated through me. All hopes of him wanting a new bathroom paint color vanished. No, this visit wasn’t going to be pleasant, not at all.

Perhaps I could seduce him. Hell, he could do me right on the floor of aisle nine next to the light fixtures, if it kept him from killing me. I bit my lip. But…hunters weren’t typically susceptible to succubi charms. A failed attempt of Aprhodisia could earn more problems.

I released a breath. Some buried deep natural instinct rolled through me again. With that feeling, I decided to stand my ground. I looked him in the eyes, stood up straighter, and replied, “Hunter?”

Cover Artist:  Tara West

Book Description:

Cursed by her dragon ancestor, Sage is at the root of a burgeoning prophecy that threatens her sisters. The only way to protect them is to leave Winter Harbor, Maine, and travel back in time to tenth century Scandinavia. To travel back to Håkon and Leif, the men she left behind. Two warriors pitted against each other to win her over so they might strengthen their position in an ongoing war. Yet when she arrives, she’s captured by someone else entirely.

Set to annihilate his nemesis before he wreaks havoc and claims Sage as his own, Viking Håkon Sigdir pursues Leif. Until Sage is taken by Magnus of the Årud tribe. It then becomes a race to see who can save her first from the enemy’s rogue ally. A race that turns into a battle of wills as their rivalry for Sage intensifies.

Sparks fly as an age-old vendetta ignites a love triangle that threatens not just the fate of Håkon’s people but his very heart. Will Sage ultimately choose him or Leif? Will she see past the dark enchantment affiliated with her ancestor's prophecy and realize who is destined for her? Better yet, will she see clearly the evil imposter? Because if she falls for Leif’s mock heroism rather than Håkon’s genuine valor, the war will be lost.

Excerpt #1

“Yes, Siv and I shared love of a sort,” he agreed, not about to deny that lying with Siv had always been very good. “But not love like what I see between my father and Shannon.” He kept his eyes with Sage’s, remembering all too well the kiss they had shared. How strongly it had affected him. “There is something greater out there. Something different than what Siv and I shared.”

“Mating with another dragon,” she whispered. “But is that love? Or is it obligation?” She looked to the sea again and shook her head. “Sorry I said that. I was just thinking out loud.”

“Have you not seen love then?” he said softly. “Do your parents not share it?”

“They do actually.” She sighed and kept eying the water as she fiddled with her skin of ale but didn’t drink from it. “And they’re not both dragon so I know it’s as real as it can get between a man and woman.”

“So you do not think it can be real between two dragons then?”

“Honestly,” she whispered, “I’m not so sure.” Her eyes finally returned to his. “Everything that exists between two dragons, you and I, is pure DNA. Pure beast. It’s all automatic in some strange way…not as natural.”

“That is where we disagree,” he murmured. “I think it is more natural than what humans experience.”

“Maybe more instinctual,” she countered.

“That too,” he agreed. “But also…” he struggled to find the right words as he looked to the roughening sea, to the turbulent bubbling clouds on the dark horizon. “Mating between dragons is more than love. It is an experience of the flesh and soul combined with powerful ancestry that makes it something untouchable. Unique.”

“Might I speak bluntly?” she murmured. “About your birth mother.”

“Yes.”

“She wasn’t dragon, right?”

“No.”

“And she died when you were very young. She left you behind.”

“Yes.”

“Could it be, then, that you see more strength in a relationship between two dragons because you inherently feel they’re stronger,” she said. “That they won’t leave you behind. Like Shannon, your step-mother, who is still here to this day?”

He considered her, understanding the truth in her statement, but not of the same mind. “Elder Naðr ended up with Megan, a human. My grandfather ended up with my grandmother Veronica, a human and they shared a great love so I have seen how strong it can be.”

“What is it you are searching for, Sage?” he continued gently, pushing her comfort level because he had to. Because he needed to understand. “Why do you fear love?” Then he pushed it a little further. “Why do you fear us?”

“I never said I fear us.”

“But you do.”

“I might.”

“You do.”

She finally moved beyond a quick sip of ale and took a few hearty swigs before her eyes returned to his. “I suppose there’s something you should know about me…that you and your family should have known by now.”

She hung her head and inhaled deeply before she looked at him again and said the last thing he saw coming.
