On the Bottom ~ Six Sentence Sunday #SixSunday

Six more from Incidental Contact, Those Devilish De Marco Men, Book #3.

It amused him to see the way her feet barely touched the floorboard when she buckled her seat belt. She swiped impatiently at the condensation on her window. "Actually, one of my all-time fantasies is making love under a blanket in a horse-drawn sleigh while it snows."

A fantasy indeed, given it rarely snowed around here. He grinned at her. "Let me guess, you wanna be on the bottom so the snow's not going down the crack of your ass?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Welcome to my stop on the reading Romances Naughty or Nice giveaway hop!

I'm going to tempt you with a bit of both. My current series, Those Devilish De Marco Men, has two titles published this far out of four.

The first title, Soft Sounds of Pleasure, is about Colton, De Marco who, at twenty-nine, has had a crush on a married woman who's older than him for over a decade. When he stumbles upon Lila Walker sunbathing in the nude on her back deck, sparks fly. When he subsequently learns her husband has died, Colton isn't going to take no for an answer. But what can he use for bait to tempt Lila Walker out of her grieving? How about a sulky nephew who happens to love the same sport as Lila--baseball. Can Jonah help Colton win the woman of his dreams?
(Read Chapter One in it's entirety here)



The second book, Wildly Inappropriate tells the story of Colton's oldest brother Daniel, and the young woman he finds chained to his bumper one morning. She's black and she's beautiful and she ignites his dormant dominant side in a hurry. So what happens when you meet a man who's into some kinky sex and has a fondness for doing things his way? It's all wildly inappropriate, for sure. You'll never look at a fork quite the same way again.
(Read Chapter One in it's entirety here) 



One lucky winner will take away a copy of both books, in .pdf format.
If I get twenty comments, then I'll award a second prize of (1) additional copy of Wildly Inappropriate.
At forty comments, a third prize of (1) additional copy of Soft Sounds of Pleasure will be given away as well.

The Boy Toy ~ Six Sentence Sunday #sixsunday

Six sentences from a free story in progress.
Each week, I'll be writing a new bonus scene available as a free read from Silver Publishing, based on my series Those Devilish De Marco Men. This week, Lila runs in to her former best friend who chastises her for not waiting a full year to start dating, as well as for dating a much younger man.

“Hello, I’m the Boy Toy, but mostly I answer to Colton. I don’t believe I've had the pleasure.” She felt his arm go around her waist and saw him offer his other hand for Pam to shake. The warmth of his big body caressed her side in much the same way his voice heated at the word “pleasure”.

Lila wished for a split second that God would send a bolt of fire and kill her right there on the spot so she could go find Pete and kick his ass all over Heaven for dying. Even if the bloody Baptists were right and he wouldn’t be paralyzed from the neck down any more, she’d jerk a fistful of feathers off his new wings and jam that damn halo everyone in town had assigned him down his throat before she kicked him right square in the nuts, for leaving her alone to start over at forty in a town about the size of a postage stamp.

What Made Her Special ~ Six Sentence Sunday #sixsunday

Six more sentences from Soft Sounds of Pleasure.

The realization dawned on him then that part of what made her so fucking special was her loyalty to her man. He and his brothers got propositioned by neglected housewives all the time, but Lila's very inaccessibility had fueled his fantasies. The knowledge that she was forbidden and utterly beyond reach was part of what had made her prime thought-fuck material. Somehow, her brazen offer angered him, because her shamelessness seemed to dull her bright image in his head, but he was damned if he'd turn down this chance to fuck her. Lust overlaid with his ire made his voice ragged.

    "If I'm reading you correctly, you'll be the recipient. Where's Pete?"

4th of July Blog Hop! Win an Amazon G!ft Card, Soft Sounds of Pleasure

Welcome to my stop on the 4th of July Blog Hop!

One lucky commenter will receive a $5 gift card from Amazon US, and another will win an e-book copy of my latest release, Soft Sounds of Pleasure, the first book in the series Those Devilish De Marco Men.

"Who are the De Marco men?" you ask. They're three delicious, dark-haired brothers who operate a family garage. Men so hot and hard-bodied that women in the small southern town where they  live  have been known to disable their own cars just for the pleasure of watching one of these three bend over their engines. Their mother walked out on the family when they were small, so each brother has some sort of, shall we say, commitment issue?

Daniel, the oldest, is the one in charge, partly because of birthright, but mostly because Dan's a natural Dom. He's thirty-six and still single because if he has to settle for vanilla sex, he'll go without. In Book 2, Wildly Inappropriate, due out this fall, Daniel finds not only the woman who tempts him to do something wildly inappropriate in order to have her, but learns the shocking answer to the question of why their mother abandoned them as children. 

Eric is the jokester and the brother who's dated every woman in town. His love life is best described as hit-and-run. He's so sure women will abandon him the way his mother did, he's always the first one out the door. Dan and Colton tease him a lot, and Eric plays the clown to hide his lingering hurt at being left behind with a father who became bitter and angry. Eric's going to find a woman he cannot run from, in Incidental Contact.

But right now, I'd like you to meet Colton, the youngest. Now twenty-nine, he's had a serious thing for forty-year-old, married Lila Walker ever since he was nineteen. When Colton learns her husband has died, he's prepared to do whatever it takes to convince Lila he can be more than her boy toy. He has a few obstacles. You see, their youngest sister Sarah has been killed and her son Jonah has come to live with Colton, since Sarah was never married and no one--not even Daniel-- knows who Jonah's father is.

When he's not sulking, Jonah wants to play baseball. Lila's only son Charlie played baseball. He even won the state championship before he joined the Marine Corps, so Colton hopes Lila can make room in her heart not only for him, but for the orphaned child that is making life miserable  at the moment . And to hell with the fact that everyone in town thinks Lila hasn't mourned Pete long enough. Colton's decided ten years is long enough to wait to get his hands on the woman of his dreams. 

Blurb:

Colton wants a home run with Lila. The bases are loaded against him: one foul nephew, one ogre-in-law, and Lila's loyal heart won't let Colton pinch-hit for her late husband. With the whole town keeping score, it's Game On.

"So, how do I win?" you ask.

Since there are only three brothers:
1. Leave a comment guessing which character (mentioned above) is the focus of Book Four

Seduction ~ Six Sentence Sunday #sixsunday

Six more from Soft Sounds of Pleasure:

True to what she probably thought of his damn gender, he hadn't spared much more than a glance at her face. Because he had her face memorized, dammit, but it was the rest of her he'd needed to see. How long had she watched him while he'd let his eyes feast on her?

But his now-jubilant cock was even more perilously close to ejecting his load as the implication behind her words sank in.

He whirled around and damned if she wasn't touching herself, one pink-tipped finger slowly circling her clit, making his cock leap in his Levi's. This woman was absolute hell on his self-control.

Busted ~ Soft Sounds of Pleasure #sixsunday

Another six sentences from my upcoming release, Soft Sounds of Pleasure.

Turning his back on her bare form was one of the hardest things he'd ever done, but Colton quietly spun around, praying to God she didn't wake. Lila had the right to masturbate on her own deck, and she probably had to, since Pete's accident had left him paralyzed from the neck down, but he'd had no right to see the proof.

The sound of a neighbor cranking his lawn-tractor might as well have been the jet engines firing up on the rocket ship he'd ride into Hell.

The voice she used in his fantasies when she begged him to fuck her stopped him dead in his tracks before he'd taken two silent steps.
"Examined and rejected, how depressing. Tell me Colton, how old is the lucky lady that's going to be the recipient of that most impressive bulge in your jeans?"

Dilemma--Peek into Soft Sounds of Pleasure #sixsunday

I'm almost to the end of Dan and Cynda's story, meaning I'm at the point where I want to kill them both for being wayward characters who keep wandering off-task...a frustration every writer feels at some point, yet a huge no-no in a romance. So, I decided to give them a rest and show you a peek into the beginning of Colton's love affair. You remember Colton, right? He's the brother who suggested last week that Dan burn down the farmhouse to get rid of the gremlins hiding large black dildos in the kitchen drawers. His and Lila's love story, Soft Sounds of Pleasure, is only a couple of weeks from being released. Let's take a peek:


He was almost to the back door when he stopped dead in his tracks. His conscience began screaming for him to turn around. Shrieking at him, in fact, to get the hell off this deck and go back to his truck.

But his legs were suddenly as rigid as his dick.

He could hear the thousand tiny devils begin sharpening their blades.

Because his abruptly short-circuited brain was sending the message to his already-primed cock that Lila Walker was lying in the sun on her very private deck, wearing nothing but an over-sized pair of sunglasses and a coat of coconut-scented oil.

Poor Colton. What's a man to do when he sees his favorite fantasy-fuck so exposed? Will he walk off that deck? Or will he take advantage of the situation? 

Thanks for dropping in, and don't forget to check out the six sentences from the 184 other writers participating in Six Sentence Sunday this week.
