The Devil's Dust MC has a list of new threats to the club's lifestyle. Dani, to prove her loyalty, is trying to embrace a part of herself that she never knew existed until now. A sinful beast lurking beneath her surface has been awakened and is ready to eliminate anyone that stands in its way. Looking at her stained hands, she rinses the blood from them. She resigns herself to innocence lost and welcomes her thirst for more blood. After a breathtaking turn of events, Shadow is looking at life in a different perspective. Not knowing who he can trust or who he can forgive has left him feeling desolate and alone. As Shadow is laying behind his rifle, he wonders if he can pull the trigger to eliminate the threat. He takes a deep breath and squeezes the trigger, the rifle recoil ignites the fuel that drives him. Retaliations will be required. Boundaries will be shattered. Redemption will be lost. Betrayal so deep, yet they still yearn for one another. Can Shadow overlook Dani’s transgressions? Can Dani overlook the mistrust that Shadow has placed upon her?

AUTHOR LOWDOWN with Amity Cross



You’re being abducted by hunky aliens and they’ve never watched a DVD. What five movies do you take to watch with them?
My top five would be:
1. Almost Famous – A serious education about the rock and roll lifestyle!
2. Terminator 2 – Because it’s badass and it’s about humanity screwing itself over, but being resilient in its fight to take their home back.
3. Amelie – A film about serendipity and romance and discovering the good things in humanity.
4. Dead Poets Society – A beautiful example of sticking it to the man and forming your own ideals and ideas about the world.
5. The Shawshank Redemption – Another example of the futility of humanity and the resilience of a strong mind.

Do you have a favourite author? Who is it/are they?
The authors I grew up with stick with me the most, I’d have to say. I was hardcore into Fantasy, so my favorties are Isobelle Carmody, Garth Nix, Ian Irvine, Alison Croggon and Kristen Cashore.


How did you start your writing career?
Writing stories about horses when I was eight. Seriously, true story. I always wanted to be an author, but life took me in a different direction. I circled back a few years ago after a few life experiences and gave it another crack.

Which character was the hardest to write and why?
I have a hard time writing whiny and bitchy women. In Beat, it was Monica that was the hardest to write. In Unexpected it was Evie!

If you write under an alias/Nome de plume, how do you deal with being addressed by that name?
Amity isn’t my real name and I don’t make a secret out of it, but when people call me that? It messes with my identity! I have a friend who calls me by my real name half the time and Amity the other. THAT messes with me! But I like being Amity. She has more fun. There’s something freeing about assuming another identity. It’s all me, but I feel like I can be a little wilder than usual.

How would you classify the genre you write? Why did you choose that genre?
I write Erotic Romance first and foremost, though I do have some Contemporary Romance coming. I was tired of the weak heroines and wanted to write something that I wanted to read and couldn’t find.

If you weren’t an author, what would you have ended up doing?
I probably would’ve ended up coasting from job to job being extremely unhappy. I’d be stuck at a desk at some mundane office admin job, most likely.

Do you have any rituals/habits when you write?
Nope. I’m completely boring and just sit down and do it. I do like to have an energy drink and write during the day, but I don’t think that counts as a ‘ritual’. I’m uptight about planning all my books, I guess you could count that as a habit.

What would be the weirdest one?
I have to plot all my books start to finish. I break out in cold sweats if I don’t know where I’m going!

What is on your current and upcoming release schedule?
Beat released October 6th and I am currently working on the second book, Pulse. I have a number of other projects coming up that haven’t been announced yet, so keep your eyes peeled! I’ve got some dark and twisty alpha males, sexy rock stars and more beefcake fighters!

Where are your books available?
All the usual suspects. Amazon, iBooks, Barnes&Noble, Kobo and Smashwords.

Excerpt
“Are you ready for part two of this gift?”
My tiger eyed me suspiciously. “And that would be—”
“The fun part. You get to ride me.” Jen’s face lit up like a little kid about to go on one of those coin-operated mechanical horsey rides. Wasting no time, she tore off my boxers she had on and repositioned herself, straddling my lap with my cock impaled inside her. Gripping her hips, I bucked her hard as she rode me up and down. I hissed. 
Fuck, yeah! This was good. So fucking good and for both of us. Holding on to my shoulders, she got to control the pace while I got to go as deep and as hard as I could. I repeatedly hit her G-spot with each powerful thrust. She shrieked with pleasure each time I did. I gazed at her heated face. Her head arched back, she looked so impassioned, and I was mesmerized by the way the dangling earrings I’d just given her shook and shimmered. Quivering as if they were having little orgasms of their own. I was tempted to nibble her lobes but worried in my state of lust I might bite off an earring and swallow it whole. I gripped her hips tighter as she accelerated her pace. The friction and heat of her rubbing against my thick length felt so fucking amazing.
“Do you like your present?”
“Oh, God, yes!” she panted out. “I’m so close to coming!”
“Good, baby,” I groaned. On the next deep thrust, she fell apart with a thunderous “Yes” and I could feel her throbbing all around my pulsing cock. Her body shook as I grunted out my own explosive climax and met hers full on. Spent and sweaty, we collapsed onto each other, her arms wrapping around me. We stayed in that position for several sweet minutes as we rode our orgasms out. Five minutes later, we were nestled side by side, her head resting on my chest. We were almost recovered. Now close to five, the sun had begun its disappearing act and cast a mellow amber glow. Jen traced lazy, ticklish circles on my chest.
“Baby, I’ll never be able to top that birthday present.”
I playfully flicked the tip of her cute upturned nose.
“Don’t worry, you will.”

“Do you have something in mind?”
“Yeah, I do.” I was turning the big three-O.
“How ‘bout a hint?”
“I want to wake up to my wife.” I felt her jolt against me.
“What are you saying, Blake?”

“What I’m saying is that I want to marry you on the day before my birthday.”
“December twentieth? Gosh, Blake. That’s only two months away.”
“Jen, we’ve been engaged for over five months and it’s time to set a date. My mother has been driving me crazy.”
Jen giggled. “Mine too. I keep telling her that we’ve just been too busy at work.” Which was true. Except I’d checked our calendars and had come to the conclusion that Saturday, the twentieth, would be a perfect time to get married. With Christmas around the corner, most of our SIN-TV productions would be shut down and our offices would be closed until January third—giving us an opportunity to go on a two-week honeymoon. I explained all this to Jen. She agreed. It made total sense. She rolled on top of me and gave me a hot spontaneous kiss.
“Oh my God, Blake, we’re really going to get married!” The excitement in her voice was contagious. I smashed my lips against hers.
“Yes, you’re going to become Mrs. Blake Burns, and tonight we’re going to break the news to our parents.”

“My mother is going to be so excited!” Jen beamed. “She’s been planning our wedding forever.” I didn’t know if Jen could feel my heart skip a beat. I quietly gulped. And so had my mother. Instead of letting her know this, I urged her to take a shower with me and get ready for our dinner. The future Mrs. Blake Burns had another surprise in store.

Author: Stephanie Smith
Release Date: January 15, 2014
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Blurb
How do you trust someone who is everything you’re trying to avoid?
Harper Lindell is having a bad day. You know, if a bad day consists of getting fired from your cushy job and then catching your boyfriend red handed playing hide the salami. Sick of meeting the same guys over and over, Harper decides to try her luck at Internet dating. How bad could it be? Right? Tate Washington wasn’t looking to meet anyone. Still dealing with the consequences of his one serious relationship, all he’s interested in is revamping his family’s behind-the-times café. He didn’t plan on seeing the beautiful receptionist from Argo again, walking into his life to use his café as a dating hub, and using him as a BFF. Can Harper really trust Tate, who is everything she thinks she needs to steer clear of? Can Tate wait while Harper works through her insecurities and fears?    


Excerpt
“Andrew?” I question as I reach the table. “Yes. Harper, hello.” He shakes my hand and the first thing I notice are his warm eyes. They are gentle and sincere and I feel instantly comfortable with him. “Take a seat, please.” He gestures to my seat before pulling it out for me to sit in. I smile up at him in thanks for the chivalrous action as I slide into the chair. During our emails back and forth this week, Andrew and I had figured out that we are from similar small towns not far from each other. We laugh about all the misguided town folk and the classic ‘types’ every town has. The town clown who has thought of every invention under the sun, the do-gooder mayor, the old lady gossip group, and the crazy minister and his family. Of course I didn’t laugh at that last one, as true as it is, being the daughter of a minister and all. “So what do your parents do?” Andrew asks. “Umm.” I stall looking for a distraction, not wanting to make to him feel bad. “What can I get you guys?” Tate offers and I’m grateful for the interruption. “Oh gosh I haven’t even looked yet,” Andrew says as he picks up the menu from the table. “Just the usual for me please.” As my eyes reach Tate’s his are wide with horror. I sit upright at the urgency in his expression wondering what the hell is going on. He nods his head in Andrew’s direction and I glance over. Andrew is studying the menu oblivious to mine and Tate’s silent conversation. I look back at Tate giving him a ‘what’ look as he scratches his head then stiffly nods back in Andrew’s direction. I sigh frustrated and look back at Andrew. He looks up from his menu and smiles at me before turning to Tate and placing his order. I still don’t see a problem and look back to Tate with a ‘just fucking tell me’ look. He begins running his hand through his hair as he harshly nods in Andrew’s direction again. I don’t even bother looking at Andrew again, knowing I’m not going to see anything different than before. With wide eyes and a clenched jaw, I get out through gritted teeth, “I think that’s all.” Tate sighs heavily, clearly frustrated and storms away from the table. I shake my head and when I turn back to Andrew he is staring at me in confusion. “Sorry,” I giggle embarrassed he witnessed that final interaction between Tate and me. “No worries.” He is sweet but his voice is wary. Tate and I probably looked like two mute idiots. How humiliating. Andrew seamlessly continues our conversation. I use this opportunity to study him and search for the meaning of Tate’s irrational display. I didn’t really focus on Andrew’s features before. He’s not ugly, but he’s definitely not in the same calibre as Tate or Glenn. Now that I’m looking closer at him, there is something off about his looks. I can’t put my finger on it but something doesn’t fit. It has to be something small like his eyes aren’t in line or his facial features are too far apart, maybe bad teeth or ears that are too big or small, but I can’t see any of that. All his features seem symmetrical and in proper proportion to his face, but something is definitely not right. Out of the corner of my eye I see Tate flailing his arms about. I shoot a glance his way trying not to be noticeable only to see he is frantically running his hand through his hair before tugging on the ends. No, tugging is too tame, he is pulling hard on his hair. I glance around the café and no one has seemed to notice Tate’s complete and mental breakdown. He’s lost it. Maybe it’s all the coffee fumes, they are really strong in here. When I look back towards Tate he is on his way over to the table carrying our hot drinks. I roll my eyes at his determined stare and wonder what antics he has planned for us this time. Tate doesn’t falter as he strides towards the table and proceeds to drop a hot cup of coffee all over the table and into Andrew’s lap. I gasp in shock at what is unfolding in front of me. Andrew jumps from his seat, squealing like a small girl. I watch horrified as his hair falls off his head and lands on the table in front of me. My mouth drops open as I just stare at Andrew’s toupee lying in spilt coffee. Glancing up at Andrew I see the heat rising on his face and shiny bald head. I smile awkwardly at him as I pick up his hairpiece and hold it out to him as if it’s a pair of dirty underwear and I can’t stand to touch it. He quickly swipes it from my hand and places it on his head, but not before I notice his whole head, bright red in mortification. It’s like a beacon calling in planes for landing. Andrew stares at me, his hairpiece on backwards and coffee leaking from it, dripping all down his face. “I’m so sorry Andrew,” I whisper, as I place both my hands over my mouth. Shit, I can feel the laughter rising. “No, I’m sorry Harper.” My gut churns on his behalf at the humiliation he must be feeling. The silence of the café surrounds us, lucky it’s not overly busy at this time of night. Andrew glares at Tate who smiles and raises his hands innocently, before Andrew storms out of the café not breathing another word, just leaving a trail of coffee in his wake. “You’re welcome,” Tate says casually as he pulls a clean chair up to the table, before relaxing back into it and crossing his ankles in front of him.

However, now that I’ve escaped the mental hospital, he seeks to control my every move.

Life is never a given. Only a certain death. This is Volume 1 in the Delirious Series, which contains 3 volumes and a prequel. These books should be read in order.

Synopsis
Branson Wellington? The name, my name, is usually followed by arrogant prick or self-serving bastard, and I can't say I haven't earned those titles. It's true. I'm not the good guy. I'm not the boy next door. I'm definitely not your Prince fucking Charming. Not even close. And I never wanted to be. Until her. The day I pulled her from the wreckage was the day that my life changed. Who would have thought that one little lie had the power to throw two lives off course? Love has never been in the cards for me, but now that she’s here, I have no idea how I’m ever going to let her go. Even if I don’t deserve her.

Excerpt
“There are some questions I need to ask you, but we can do that in a little bit. Until then, is there anyone you want us to call? Someone on scene was able to find your purse, which fortunately hadn’t been destroyed in the blast. There was no emergency contact information in your purse, however, and you’ve only been out of surgery for a couple of hours. We haven’t been able to track anyone down as of yet.” The last thing I want is Victoria and William showing up here, especially with Benjamin in tow. Not wanting to worry anyone, I decide I’ll call Alyssa once things calm down. “No, I’m not from around here, and the last thing I want to do is worry my family. When I’m feeling a little more rested, I’ll give them a call.” The nurse gives me an understanding smile, and I sigh with relief that she’s not going to push me on this. At least not yet. “Okay, Ms. Covington. I understand completely. I’ll just set your purse here, and if you feel up to it, your cell is still inside. Now, I need to answer this page, but if you need anything in the meantime, don’t hesitate to hit the nurses’ call button. You may feel a little drowsy from the pain medication, so for now, try to get some rest.” I watch as she leaves the room before I rest my head on my pillow, replaying the events of the past twenty-four hours. What should’ve been the prelude to one of the best days of my life has turned into a nightmare. Instead of wearing a white wedding dress, I’m stuck in a hospital gown. And even now, my fiancé—or, well, former fiancé—is the last man on my mind. No, instead, I’m thinking about the beautiful man who saved my life. Who once told me that he was beyond saving. The night I met Branson Wellington, he was a mess. A drunken, pitiful, angry mess. This evening, I saw no signs of that man. I saw confidence. I saw arrogance. I saw determination. But I also saw the pain, the anger, the frustration. That broken man is still in there no matter what strides he’s made since that night eight months ago. Tonight, he saved me. And even though he once said that it’s impossible, I’m making it my mission to save him, too.

REVIEW Not Quite Forever by Catherine Bybee



Review by guest reviewer, Ashlea Rhodes

Not Quite Forever
will forever be in my heart.

When Catherine writes a story, she doesn't just tell it, she puts a lot of heart and soul into it. This book is a whole lot of fun from the get go.
Dakota is one fire cracker. When reading this, I felt like she was my best friend. And her relationship with Walter is so real, unlike a lot of other romance stories out there you can really picture this happening. I get Walt's crazy time table it does make dating hard, that's coming for someone that works in health and has not been on a date for a long time. So I love how they work around that. Simple things like a call after work or using a family gathering to get to know each other more. I loved the families of both Dakota and Walt both seem perfect on the outside but on the inside have problems like every other family. The pressures of gossip on people's life's and society is a nice touch to the book and one I feel many romance writers worry about at some point. And after all the worries the story comes together perfectly with a little drama that you can picture happening in real life.

Catherine Bybee has done it again and captured my heart. I can't wait for the next story I know it will be well worth the wait.
