After an encounter with his friend?s sister, he?s got a good idea who his mate is. But she?s young and driven and not nearly ready for the kind of commitment he wants. He?ll take what she gives him, no matter how much he wants more.

But when Anthony senses her hesitation to commit, he starts to formulate a plan. Because when a Santini man decides he?s found his mate, there is no stopping him.

EXCERPT:

?Wanna come in for a drink??

He shook his head, never taking his gaze from hers.

?Why not??

?I told you the truth earlier, Lalani. You test my control, and neither of us are ready to make that next step yet.?

He leaned forward and cupped her face. Slowly, he kissed her. This was not the same over the top passionate kiss from the other day. He nibbled at her lips, teasing her bottom lip before fully pressing his mouth against hers. Still, he took his time, before she felt the glide of his tongue against the seam of her lips. She opened willingly, wanting nothing more that to taste him. He was just the same as she remembered. Desire lanced through her veins, her blood pounding a primitive beat in her veins.

Needing more contact, she stepped closer, pressing her body into his as she slipped her hands around his waist. He shuddered and lifted his other hand to cup her face completely. It wasn?t enough. She wanted to feel his flesh against hers, to taste every inch of him?but he stepped back. They were both breathing heavily.

?I told you we needed time.?

Lalani had never been good at being denied pleasure, and she lashed out.

?Is this some kind of control thing with you??

The moment she said it, she wished she hadn?t. She opened her mouth to apologize, but he stopped her by reaching up and rubbing his thumb against her lips.

?Not at all. I just want to make sure we both want it for the right reasons. And, as I told you, I don?t want some quick fuck. I want a long time with you in that bed, because I aim to take every second to enjoy.?

Bio

From an early age,?Melissa loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites,?Winnie the Pooh?and the?Beatrix Potter?books. She cut her preteen teeth on?Trixie Belden?and read and reviewed?To Kill a Mockingbird?in middle school. It wasn?t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.

She writes in genres from historical suspense to modern day erotic romance to futuristics and paranormals. Included in those releases is the bestselling?Harmless series. In 2011, Melissa branched out into self-publishing with?A Little Harmless Submission?and the popular military spinoff,?Infatuation: A Little Harmless Military Romance. Along the way she has garnered an epic nomination, a multitude of reviewer?s recommended reads, over five Capa nods from TRS, thirteen nominations for AAD Bookies, and made the USA Today bestseller list in 2013 with The Santinis.

Since she spent her childhood as a military brat, Melissa swore never to marry military. But, as we all know, Fate has her way with mortals. After twenty years as an AF spouse, she and husband, a long with their brats, both human and canine, are now happy they get to pick where they live. She lives in the middle of wine and horse country in Virginia and shops for million dollar homes in Hawaii.

Pimpin’: Barracuda’s Heart by Jayne Rylon

BarracudasHeart72lgPIMPIN‘: Barracuda’s Heart by JAYNE RYLON

SERIES: Hot Rods
BOOK: #6

BEFORE YOU DIVE IN: Check out the series from the beginning. The Hot Rods are sexy as hell and always up for a good time. I’d even suggest reading the Powertools first, where all of the fun started. Both stories are sure to have you squirming in your seat.

BLURB:
If the sexy construction crew were Powertools, their cousin mechanics are sure to be Hot Rods. Nothing?s sexier than seven men with hot rods.

Roman knows he?s been an asshole. But the toughest of all the Hot Rods has been through hell. Carver has always sensed when Roman?s on the verge of falling into the pit of his inner darkness, and pulled him back with his endless laughter.

The two guys have messed around with women plenty, but never anyone serious. Until the gang of mechanics started exploring the complex relationship that Roman realizes right away they?d been destined for. Part of him is pissed. He might get what he?s always secretly wanted?Carver, submitting to him in a kinky BDSM relationship?but it might not be exactly like he had fantasized about. Sharing isn?t his strong suit.

After months of struggling with their new reality, he finally breaks down and confesses to one of the visiting members of The Crew who helps him understand that everything is fair in love. Even playing for keeps.

Now all Roman has to do is convince Carver that he?s man enough to replace a whole host of lovers. And maybe be willing to make some compromises. Because after all, he enjoys watching and bonding with the rest of the Hot Rods too. Together they find their own way of loving and living within the group, which accepts them unconditionally. And always will, no matter how they decide their relationship works best.

EXCERPT:

Chapter One

Another armload of toys thudded onto the last remaining spot on the floor of the guest room, obscuring the patch of blue carpet beneath. With three weeks until Christmas, Kingsley Mathews had no idea how he?d be able to fit more toys into the small space. He could barely open the door, not to mention there was absolutely nowhere to walk except over the gifts. How he?d managed to get tangled up into all of this was beyond his imagination.

?If you could just grab the last bunch in my truck, that?s all of them for now!? Elizabeth?s shrill hollering reminded him how he?d gotten roped into it.

That darling little sister of his had a heart of gold, and a face that was nearly impossible to say no to. So instead of having an empty guest room gathering dust, as most bachelors did, his had become the warehouse for Hope?s Toy Chest. He believed in the cause. He?d picked up toys, and even spent the days before Christmas wrapping presents with Elizabeth, but the idea of storing everything at his place had become almost too much for him. There were toys everywhere, and almost constant phone calls, emails, and unannounced visitors dropping things off. His patience was wearing thin.

Being a pediatric oncologist at one of the best children?s hospitals in the country, he worked long, hard hours. He saw so much suffering, children sick and death with little he could do for them. It was a hard field, but one he chose at a young age. He strove to make a difference, and he knew finding a cure would do that. His love of children had brought him into this toy drive, and he couldn?t back out now.

This year Christmas seemed to mean even less to him. There was a young girl under his care that might not make it that long. The family was hanging on, praying for a miracle that he honestly didn?t believe would come. It was heartbreaking to watch them sit at her bedside every day hoping for any news that might save their daughter.

Looking around the room only stressed him more, sending his thoughts back to one of the nurses.

It will be a blessing when her time comes, no more pain and suffering.

Those words rang in his ears. There had never been a time when he thought one of his patients were better off if their time came, taking them from this world, from their loved ones. That?s where he and the nurse differed. He wanted to save them all. Losing even one of them was devastating, because they had so much life left. A life they didn?t get to begin living. Being surrounded by machines, needles, hospital staff, sick from the medication that was supposed to make them better. None of it was fair. They were children; they deserved a chance to live.

?Earth to Le.? Elizabeth ran her hand in front of his face, shattering his thoughts sharply as though she were breaking a thin pane of glass.

?Sorry.? He blinked a few times, trying to clear his mind, but his thoughts wouldn?t let go of that little girl.

Horse by Tilly GreenePIMPIN?:?Horse by Tilly Greene

SERIES: The Bloody Bucket
BOOK: 1

A Secret Something about Horse:
What isn’t said in this story but implied is how much Horse desires a fresh start and here are the details why. The time he spent in NYC was not good for his soul. Upon his arrival, he joined a gang led by a fellow Irishman, and was the muscle when things went bad. He leaned to play poker in his spare time of which there was loads. He learned to use his muscles, fight brutally, and would?always win. He was paid a small stipend and extra when he had to get tough. At first he found his new existence exciting and what he was looking forward to living, only?the excitement?soon wore off. The money was just enough for him to live on, but there was none left over?to send any?home to help. One day he woke up and decided enough was enough, he wanted out. Without speaking to?anyone, he packed up a bag?and left. Leaving the big bad city was the best thing he could ever have done, only he wouldn’t realize this until after he landed in Cowler.

BLURB:
While living in Ireland farming peat, Jack Murphy knew there was no way he?d follow the time honored tradition for second sons to dedicate themselves to the church. He liked women too much, so with the blessing of his parents, he left for a new life in America. New York City held his attention for a couple years but he grew tired of the violent side of life he took on and boarded a train south and west to Cowler Texas. His first night in town he finds himself sitting at a poker table with the saloon in the pot. No way did he think he?d win, but if he did, well, it was worth a chance.

After gaining the name Horse, two gun fights and a sexy woman wearing spectacles collide, he finds the life he always wanted.
