Synopsis

 

Stone Black is a successful businessman who has demons in his closet. He is broken- maybe even beyond repair. He has never been in a successful relationship, because he doesn’t let anyone get close enough.

 

Anaya Cole has recently come into money and she is looking to invest. Mr. Black offers to help Anaya invest her inheritance So that she can open her abuse center.

 

Their attraction is overwhelming, but Anaya doesn’t want to want him. After all he’s a man-whore.

 

Ms. Cole has penetrated my mind and I just can’t seem to get her out of it. I have to have her, so have her I will. If it’s the last goddamn thing I ever do. I will screw her until she can’t walk and I will move on with my life just like I have always done.

 

Once Anaya tastes the whiskey on his breath, she can’t stop. She craves more, and when her head and her heart collide, she is left with an important decision – walk away or risk being burned?

 

After all, Whiskey never felt so good.

 

 

Prologue

Stone Black

       A loud Whack erupts as the leather slaps her thighs. Shudders rip through me as he screams, “You dirty fucking whore!” and he brings the belt across her ass, her strangled cries pierce my soul.

Through her tears she begs, “Stop! Please! You’re hurting me.” 

He ignores her requests and hits her again, smack right across her tear streaked face with his open fist. Her body quivers, as he yells once again, “Shut the fuck up!” I anxiously stare as he unzips his fly. Wraps his hands around his dick and shoves it in her face. “Suck my dick you filthy bitch!” She turns her head in disgust intentionally disobeying his request, but he forcefully grips her chin turning her head toward him and shoves his male appendage in her face.

I'm paralyzed with fear, my heart is ponding rapidly against my chest. My hands are uncontrollably shaking and I feel the bile rising in my throat. I have the urge to save my mom, but I can’t will myself to move. I take a chance glancing over at her and she is seated in one of our kitchen chairs with her hands tied behind her back. Her legs are spread wide as he stands between them forcing her to suck his dick. They are unaware of my presence as I cower in the corner of the room. My hands cover my eyes as my body trembles. With each loud noise I peek through my fingers to observe what’s going on.  He grunts loudly as he grabs a fist full of her hair and yanks. She screams causing my to body jump, I want so bad to cry, but I fear they will overhear me. 

He instructs her to stand up, turn around and kneel on the chair. Her right leg is on the floor steadying her and her left foot is propped up in the chair. She leans over the chair spreading her legs wide open. I witness his hand come up then whip forward to slap her ass. She yelps from the sting and he quickly shoves his dick inside of her. She screams from his forcefulness and I watch the tears stream down her faces as she bawls her eyes out.

He pumps into her, smacking her ass sporadically, she yelps when contact is made. I try so hard to ignore it all, to turn away, but for some reason I can’t take my eyes off of them. I listen as her tears are cut off by cries of pleasure, her whimpers turn into moans, and she becomes breathless.

My eyes flash open and I sit strait up in bed. My heart feels like it’s going to beat out of my chest, and I’m covered in sweat. I look around and realize that it’s okay I’m in my apartment. That I was just having another one of my night terror about my childhood. Which consisted of my drunken mother bringing home her abusive johns and low life boyfriends. They would beat the shit out of her, and then fuck her senseless. By the time I turned fifteen, I had witnessed enough sex to fuck like a porn star. The problem being that I started to get off on observing these various men bang my mother. I know it’s disturbing, but I couldn’t control it. Her erotic cries would turn me on and I’d have to service myself to ease the pressure. After a while, that wasn’t enough. I needed something more and I have been chasing after it ever since.

AUTHOR CHARLENE M. MARTIN

 

I am a small town girl, I currently reside in the same city that I was born and raised in. I love watching teen drama shows, reading, writing, and listening to music.

I have a loving family my mother who has taught me about love and lasting relationships. A father who pushes me to excel and succeed at anything I desire.  My younger sister and I have become very close over the years and she is very supportive of everything I do.

I have been married for nine years to my best friend. I love my husband more than anything. He is so kind, loving and supportive. He likes to joke with his friends that, “My wife writes porn.”

We have an eleven-year-old daughter who is so smart and talented. I can’t believe how fast they grow up.  She is turning into quite the young lady.  She aspires to be so many things and I encourage them all. She loves to write songs and has even tried her hand at writing a book. Maybe one day she will follow my example.

Being that I am from a small town, I have made some long lasting relationships. I have two best friends that I have known for most of my life. We have continued to stick together over the years and we are always there for one another. I couldn’t imagine my life without them.

Animal lover I am not, but I have a headstrong dog that is the absolute best-behaved dog I have ever seen and a cat that drive me insane, but I love her nonetheless.

I have always aspired to be a neonatal nurse and I continue to work towards that goal. Maybe one day it will come true. However, writing has become my new favorite love.

I never would have dreamed that I would become a writer, but some really great people convinced me otherwise.  Eventually I decided to give it a try and what do you know? I just finished writing my second book and I couldn’t be happier. I will continue to write in my spare time with hopes of it becoming a full time career at some point in my life.

So take note, I am just a small town girl trying to bring light to your darkness, anything is possible if you work hard at it. So hold your head high, get out there, and do what you love.

Excerpt:

“Ready?” I ask as I approach him and continue on into the kitchen to get my purse.

“Yup, and I am starving. Let’s go.” He advances towards me. “Damn, woman! You’re not wearing those jeans, are you? No fucking way.”

Bewildered and totally caught off guard by his statement, I stand there with my hands on my hips.

“What the hell are you talking about? There isn’t anything wrong with these jeans.”

“No there’s not, and that’s the problem. Your sweet, fine ass looks too good in those jeans. I don’t want to have to kick someone’s ass for checking you out, especially when I have the girls with me. Can you go put on a baggy pair of sweatpants or something?”

“What are you playing at, Adam?” I remove my hands from my hips and place one of them on his forehead. “Are you coming down with something?”

He gently pulls me into his rock hard body.

“Oh, sweet cheeks. I came down with something three months ago when I checked out that ass of yours when I was in Texas,” he says with humor and as low-key as he can be. “And I am not playing.”

“You’re unbelievable,” I say, rolling my eyes.

Adam lifts me up onto the counter and whispers in my ear words that leave a tingle of pure pleasure down my spine.

“Although I love every tantalizing, sexy curve of your body, I am most definitely an ass man, sweetheart. And this ass,” he says as he places his hands underneath me and gives my bottom a light squeeze, “Has been in my dreams for the past three months. I can’t wait until I can feel it uncovered because Erin, I am going to make you feel like you have never felt before.”

“Oh my God, Adam.” I can barely get out a word as I feel my throat tighten up and, holy hotness, this man is mentally seducing me and I love it.

“You feel it too, don’t you, Erin?” he speaks in a ragged, raspy voice as he trails soft kisses up my neck.

“I do,” I whimper.

 It's that time again! Here's the official cover reveal for Lilliana Anderson's Drawn to Fight: Zac & Evie, releasing on all platforms February 10th, 2015! 

Preorder via iBooks, B&N and Kobo. (Amazon live on release day) 

 

SYNOPSIS

New Adult romance, for 18+ only due to sexual content and adult themes

Drawn to Fight begins a new series in the world of the Drawn Series, following Redemption and featuring, Damien and Etta's daughter, Evie, in her own coming of age drama filled with angst, love, passion, need, and a healthy dose of obsession.

Zac Rivers. A boy no one wanted to know. Always angry. Always fighting his way in and out of trouble. It was no surprise when he was expelled from school and never heard from again. Until now. I found him at the Londonderry Brawl, and I watched him fight like an animal. Strong. Controlled. But desperate. I sensed in him a purpose – a need to win – and I wanted to know what was so important to him. The way he fought was mesmerising, and I couldn't take my eyes off him. Then, it was over, he'd won and I needed to leave. 

He didn't want me to. 

When his lips met mine, somehow, he stole my heart, and in that moment, I knew my world was forever changed. I needed to know this boy. I needed to discover all there was to know about him or I'd never be able to breathe again. No one thinks we should be together. They say his bad news.

Well, people say I'm bad news too. 

Then, as fate would have it, I was forced to introduce him to my most fierce protector. A man whose past is riddled with secrets and mistakes; a man who fought his way from the darkness and into the light; a man called Damien – my father. 

  My name is Yvonne Rhodes, although, you may prefer to call me Evie. I'm the eldest daughter of Damien and Henrietta Rhodes. Inside me, I have my mother’s sense, and my father’s passion.

  This is Zac's and my story. It's about needing someone to the point of obsession. It's about losing control, and finding a way to pick up the pieces when everything seems broken. And it's about love. One that's so strong, nothing can stop it.

EXCERPT:

 

Taren

He lifts me with ease, carrying me the few steps over to the cot and carefully lays me down. His mouth finds mine again as he pulls up on the hem of my silky shirt, his calloused fingers feeling rough on my skin, sending chills through my body. God, I love it. I love him. I raise up as he lifts it off my head and stare into his eyes. He reaches behind me, and I feel my breasts spring free when he unclasps my bra. Slowly, he slides each strap over my shoulders and then down my arms, all the while our eyes never leaving contact. Then for a moment he looks down at my breasts. I should feel shy, even though he’s seen them before, but something about the intenseness of the moment, everything that’s happened making me bold and carefree. I smile as I lift up his shirt, watching the plains of his flat stomach appear, the tightness of his abs and his broad chest. He helps to remove it, grasping it from his back and pulling it over his head. His skin has a bronze glow, kissed from the sun, and soft to my touch. His peck twitches as I trace around his nipple with my finger. I’ve always thought he was good looking growing up, gorgeous and sexy, my heart skipping a beat every time I saw him. But now? He’s beyond that. He’s so much more.

Brock

I run my hand over her head, down her long hair, soothingly, knowing she loves when I do it. I keep doing it until her eyes blink a little. “I know, baby. Life has had a way to try to come between us. We’re stronger. We’re meant to be together and I won’t let anything tear us apart. Together, we can get through anything. I think we’ve proven that time and time again.” I reach up and flick her cute nose with my finger and smile.

A girl with a dark history…

Avery Breslin took a leap of faith when she changed her name. As Avery Patterson, she is no longer the daughter of a serial killer. No longer the girl who was bullied and abused through high school. A fresh name and a fresh start at Columbia University means Avery can leave all that behind. There’s only one thing marring her dream of a clean slate….

A boy with a past of his own…

Luke Reid has a lot going for him: sex appeal, badass tattoos and insane musical talent. Despite his guitar skills, his calling in life has always been to serve and protect. A NYPD cop by day, singer in rock band D.M.F by night, from the outside Luke seems like he’s got it made. But falling for a girl whose father was accused of deeply sinister acts—a man whom Luke shared a devastating history with, himself—only serves to complicated things.

Pieces of a puzzle…. Four symbols, four methods of destruction. A trade. Borrowed wings. Dark secrets that threaten to destroy.

Tammies Review of Winter

 

Sam O'Brady. Jefferson Kyle. Adam Bright. Sam O'Brady. Jefferson Kyle. Adam Bright.

"I had this dream that once I escaped the confines of Breakwater, things would change for me, things wouldn't be as hard, but I haven't taken any chances. My family name is synonymous with pain and murder no matter where I seem to go, and that's why I've abandoned it. That's why, when I left my past behind in small town Breakwater Wyoming to come to college, I became Avery Patterson."

Avery Patterson thought her freshman year was about figuring out what you wanted to major in. Laying the ground work for achieving a degree. As she tells her best friend Morgan. But Morgan has other plans that include a lot of party going. Avery is attending Columbia University in New York. A dangerous place for a young women to be out at night by herself. Avery wants to maintain her grades she has high hopes in becoming a journalist. She gives into Morgan invitation to go to a frat party that gets a little loud and the police are called. Just as Morgan and Avery are leaving the police shows up and BAM! Her past has caught up to her. Hes a hot cop with a band on the side, Luke Reid.

From here on Avery can't keep her past behind her. Luke and Avery have a past. People move on with their lives all the time. They move away from home. They get new jobs and they fun from their crappy pasts. Luke tells her he has tried to find her thru his connections at the police database. But she tells him she has changed her name. That she didn't want........ Luke understands her reason for her name change.

Luke had a full ride scholarship to college thru football but he passes the chance by and goes to the police academy. Hes in a band and is pretty well known for his singing. He was a cop back in Breakwater for a few years before moved to New York. Luke had a special bond with Averys father that she doesn't know about or could she understand it without Luke letting his past catch up to him? Luke and his partner were the first ones on the scene from Avery's father death. Luke had only been on the job four days. He puked in Averys mothers rose bushes when he had to got tell Amanda St. French of her husbands death. She changed her name after his death to keep her clear of his name and what he had done. Luke tells Avery he wants to call her and catch up. Avery doesn't want this. She wants her past to stay in her past but after seeing Luke she isn't sure she can do that.

Avery's mother has been paying for her daughters college tuition along with giving her a generous monthly allowance. Amanda St. French wants nothing to do with her daughter after abandoning her back in Breakwater. It was only Avery and her Uncle Brandon that went to the funeral her mother didn't even show up. Avery and her Uncle Brandon spend the holidays together now without her mother since she doesn't want Avery in her life. Avery spends some time with an Irish exchange student. Hoping this would keep her mind off Luke. But he has his own issues and Avery cant handle it in the end. Hes not who she thought he was to begin with.

Since Luke has been back in Avery life her past keeps showing up more and more. She cant escape it anymore and things happen to her when she tries to see someone else to help keep her past at bay. Her best friend has some demons in her closet that Avery finds out about and her roommate Leslie isn't who she appears to be. Avery's identity is revealed at college and Casey Luke's ex girlfriend adds to the mixture of it all. Every door Avery opens it gets slammed in her face and she finally turns to one person that can help her thru it.

Can he help her clear her fathers name? Can he help her clear her demons along with his own demons without hurting Avery in the end? What are Morgan's demons and where does Leslie, Averys college roommate fit into all this. Leslie is always so prim and proper. What is she hiding?

I loved the mystery in this book and the characters all were very well described in their roles in the book. This kept me on the edge of my seat all the way thru the book. Luke a "Hot Cop" a member of a up and coming new band D.M.F. sizzles the pages with his alpha role. Avery the pretty girl that just wants to get her degree and tell the truth as a journalist and not the lies that other journalists tell.
There are so many reasons to read this. Its a great story with great characters. One that will end with the question what the hell was that?How could that be? It does have a H.E.A. But I know theres going to be another book and I cant wait to read more about Avery and Luke.

Exclusive Excerpt:

I awoke to the sun just beginning to rise, feeling like my body was going to overheat. At the weight of a large arm pressing on top of my stomach, I changed my position and rolled over onto my other side. Colton lay next to me, fast asleep, with his body facing me.

I let my eyes leisurely travel over his face—from his dark brows to the defined outline of his cheekbones and down to the sexy curves of his full lips. It made me recall just how soft and loving his sweet kisses were. Just the slightest touch of those lips held the power to release a field of butterflies in my belly…and my heart.

The conversation with Colton the prior night drowned my thoughts. I had no idea how we had gotten here. We were so close to one another, yet there seemed to be an insurmountable distance between us. I disliked feeling so far away from him. Even worse, I hated that I was the one causing it.

Knowing it was time to go, I slowly leaned my body up and propped forward on my elbows. I gazed at him one last time, wishing things could be different. Then, I leaned over, and with the slightest touch, I gingerly rested my lips against his temple and kissed him. I held back the urge to whisper just how much I loved him, fearing he would hear me and never let me go.
