SIX WORDS TO DECRIBE “Sail Away With Me”

Exuberant:  Jody’s friends are exuberant when they board the Pearl of the Sea, hell-bent on enjoying the complimentary trip Lauren has won for them. They’re eager for Jody to cut loose after her divorce and ‘live a little.’

Trepidation: Jody is wary of men, gun shy after her recent divorce. Smooth talking celebrity guest Taggart Keith scares the bejesus out of her. But that little voice inside her can’t resist him…

Exotic: Let’s face it, a week on board ship, bopping from one Caribbean island to the next, soaking up the sun, wafts of coconut suntan oil in the air, the dizzy effects of one too many Orgasms (the drink…yea right J ) and the turquoise blue waters of the islands, proves too much to resist. Jody’s inner wild child comes out as she goes “exotic” herself and jumps into the lido pool late at night, sans clothes… but defiantly not alone…

Hesitant: When Jody sets herself free and succumbs to the pleasures of Taggart’s expert lovemaking, she finds more than her body craves him. Unfortunately, for her sensible self, she’s fallen for him and hard…but she’s hesitant to include him in her life back on land. Good thing for her, Taggart isn’t used to taking “no” for an answer.

Loyal: The camaraderie between Jody, Lauren, Cricket and Doreen — her three best girlfriends, explimfies loyalty. They’ve got each other’s backs, even when they get catty, everyone does get a little tense when sharing tight quarters, they are always there for each other. From Lauren lending Jody her 5-carat diamond earrings (yes, they’re real) for her big date with Taggart, to Cricket and Doreen confiding their secrets, Jody is one loyal friend.

Dreamer: Ryan…Taggart…they all turn out to be dreamers. Just what Jody dreads. Someone has to pay the bills and get on with life… Just when Jody thinks Taggart has all the answers, she discovers he’s not only a dreamer — he’s worse than that! He’s idealistic to boot. Crap. Can Jody trust a dreamer again? Will this dreamer be different…can he fulfill her dreams and her deepest desires?

THE AWAKEN SYMBOLISM

From the beginning, Olivia West is a woman who is trying to find her way, just like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland. Liv wants to believe she’s strong and capable, but her life’s experiences have thwarted her efforts. As she says, “The ground has always shifted beneath my feet. I’ve had a hard time planting myself firmly on it, figuring out in which direction I should or even could grow.”

After making her way through the twisted, confusing path of her childhood, Liv found a safe haven in her husband. For years, Dean has been Liv’s rock, her port in the storm, but she soon realizes that her need to be nurtured and cared for has made her lose sight of who she is and what she wants.

So Awaken is in part about Liv’s journey, like her compatriots Dorothy and Alice, not only to find her way home again, but also to discover her own strength and power. And we learn about her “Good Witch of the North,” a man named North who helps her along the way, and Liv’s need to defeat her own personal version of the Wicked Witch of the West.

The Wizard of Oz and Wonderland themes come to fruition in AWAKEN, as Liv both finds solidarity with her friends and learns to stand on her own. Also, Dean has to figure out his own way through the chivalric code of honor that he has always tried so hard to follow—but navigating the tenets of duty, faith, and sacrifice prove more difficult than he imagined.

Goodreads * Amazon * B&N

I was trying to make shopping a fun experience, but Scott wasn’t making it easy. I figured he’d had a heavy morning emotionally, and I thought taking him around Debenhams department store would provide him with a little light relief. I kept holding up these really loud shirts and telling him he’d look good in them. His reaction confused the hell out of me. It was almost as if the boy didn’t know how to have fun. And when I held up some really skimpy underwear, I thought he was going to faint from embarrassment. I kept looking at the clothes he’d picked out. Two pairs of jeans, no problem there, but the shirts were bland, boring even. Scott was eighteen, for God’s sake. In desperation, I picked up a blue shirt I thought would really suit him. The color was a perfect match for his eyes. I held it out to him.

“Would you wear this for me?”

He gazed at me for a moment, and I thought he was going to refuse. Then he nodded shyly. Thank God. I put it in the basket along with his other choices, and we headed for the till. I handed over Leo’s letter of authorization confirming his phone call, and we were done. As we left the store, loaded up with bags, Scott asked for the receipts, to keep them safe to give to Leo.

I snickered. “You do know Leo won’t do anything with those receipts, don’t you?” I knew my boss better than he did.

Scott stopped dead in the middle of the pavement, his mouth open. “What?” I shrugged. He held out his bags. “I’m sorry, I can’t accept these.” God, he could be stubborn.

I rolled my eyes. “Fine, be like that. I’m sure the people at the launderette won’t mind seeing you standing there in your underwear washing your one suit.” I started walking again, laughing inwardly as he caught up to me in a hurry.

Scott tilted his head. “Launderette?”

I searched for the American equivalent. “Laundromat.” A horrified expression crept over his face. Yeah, I’d thought that would make him stop and think. “Can you afford to be proud right now?” His face fell, and I instantly regretted my words. The boy had to see things clearly, though.

Scott looked at his bags of clothing, his expression grudging, to say the least. “Okay, but I still want the receipts.” Out came that chin again. The lad had some backbone to him.

This time I stopped. “You’re going to be stubborn about this, aren’t you?”

The color rose in his cheeks. “It’s not being stubborn, it’s being responsible.” His lips narrowed. “I don’t need someone to take care of me.”

“Fine. Whatever,” I muttered and started walking again. I glanced at the boy surreptitiously as we went along. Regardless of what came out of his mouth, everything about Scott said something entirely different. Alex was right: the lad needed a keeper. I turned off Piccadilly onto London Road, back to the hotel where I’d left the car.

“Where are we going?” Scott looked at me in confusion as he caught sight of the hotel.

“We’re going to my place. I have a flat.”

An eager expression crossed his face. “Do you need help with that?”

I frowned. “Help with what?”

“Your flat. Have you got a jack?”

I struggled for a moment to understand. Then it dawned on me. I laughed. “Okay, for future reference? A flat is an apartment.” I shook my head, still chuckling. “How do you expect to write if you don’t even know English?” His cheeks flamed.

Born and raised in the north-west of England, K.C.Wells always loved writing. Words were important. Full stop. However, when childhood gave way to adulthood, the writing ceased, as life got in the way.

K.C. discovered erotic fiction in 2009, where the purchase of a ménage storyline led to the startling discovery that reading about men in love was damn hot. In 2012, arriving at a really low point in life led to the desperate need to do something creative. An even bigger discovery waited in the wings – writing about men in love was even hotter...

K.C. now writes full-time and is loving every minute of her new career.
The laptop still has no idea of what hit it... it only knows that it wants a rest, please. And it now has to get used to the idea that where K.C goes, it goes.
K.C. can be reached via email (k.c.wells@btinternet.com), on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/KCWellsWorld) or through comments at the K.C.Wells website (www.kcwellsworld.com ) K.C. loves to hear from readers.

PARKER WILLIAMS began to write as a teen, but never showed his work to anyone. As he grew older, he drifted away from writing, but his love of the written word moved him to reading. A chance encounter with an author changed the course of his life as she encouraged him to never give up on a dream. With the help of some amazing friends, he rediscovered the joy of writing, thanks to a community of writers who have become his family.

Parker firmly believes in love, but is also of the opinion that anything worth having requires work and sacrifice (plus a little hurt and angst, too). The course of love is never a smooth one, and Happily Ever After always has a price tag.

Seeking Her by Cora Carmack Exclusive Excerpt!!

Seeking Her
By Cora Carmack

Jackson Hunt gets his turn in this Finding It prequel novella …

Jackson Hunt hasn't been out of the military for long, but he needs to get a job and find a sense of normalcy if he is going to keep his demons at bay. The job that falls into his lap, though, is anything but normal.

Becoming bodyguard (and babysitter) to spoiled rich girl Kelsey Summers isn't exactly what he had in mind, but it's a chance to travel, to get away. The catch: Kelsey's father doesn't want her to know she's being followed.

She's vibrant and infuriating, exciting and reckless, mysterious and familiar. When Jackson sees her falling into the same patterns he suffered years ago, he decides it's time to stop watching and help her instead. But getting to know Kelsey is more difficult than he thought, especially because the more he knows her, the more he wants her.
