A second chance romance set in the political intrigue of Washington DC.
She holds his darkest secrets…He is her deepest regret.
Teague Roberts is a Supreme Court nominee on the fast track to the nation’s highest legal job. As the best friend of the President’s husband, he’s a favored son in Washington, and a man used to getting everything he wants. But Teague also hides a secret, and it could explode his nomination, as well as the image he’s spent years crafting.
Deanna Forbes is Washington’s hottest new investigative reporter, and Teague’s ex-fiancee. Her history with the only man she’s ever loved is complicated and filled with remorse. When she’s assigned to report on his nomination, Teague knows things won’t end well. Deanna could topple his house of cards.
As the confirmation hearings heat up, and sparks fly between the former lovers, they must both decide what matters more–the job or the person, ambition or heart. And when a delicate dance toward reconciliation begins, more secrets will be revealed, old betrayals will be unearthed, and two fractured souls will have one last chance at forever. In the city where deception burns bright, will Teague and Deanna rekindle their love, or flame out once and for all?
Teague walked along the sidewalk outside the White House, trying his damnedest to figure out why he’d asked her to coffee. Bloody hell, as Kamal would say, had he lost his mind? In those moments in the press conference when he’d been replying to questions while he struggled not to look at her, he’d felt like twelve years had been stripped away in one supercharged moment. He still felt less than, and she was still the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen.
Her thick dark hair was long, just the way he’d always loved it, and certain parts of his anatomy had no trouble remembering how he used to wrap those silky tresses around his hands as he pumped into her from behind, long and slow.
Her skin was as clear and unlined as the day he’d met her, and her sky-blue eyes were just as sparkling and mischievous, promising that everything going on behind them wasn’t innocent and sweet.
But her body. My God, her body. She’d put on weight, in all the best places. She’d always had an athletic build, long, muscular legs, and broad shoulders. Now she had an even more defined ass, tits that made his hands itch to mold them, and curves for miles.
He never should have asked her out for coffee. What the hell had he been thinking?
“How about here?” she asked as they approached the Beltway Bean.
“Sure,” he answered, leaning in to open the door and hold it for her. She smelled like strawberry wine, and his dick did a tango in his dress pants.
“You ever been here before?” he asked as they stepped into line at the bar.
“A few times,” she answered. “I like their cappuccinos.”
He chuckled. “You always were a connoisseur.”
The small shop was typically jammed, but after they got their drinks, he stalked a pair of senate interns until they got nervous and left. Grabbing the table they’d vacated, he waved her over, and they each took a chair at the high two top.
“So, what’s it been?” he asked, even though he knew exactly, nearly down to the minute. “Ten years?”
“Twelve,” she answered. “I was twenty and you were twenty-two the last time we had coffee.”
And sex, his mind added.
“Well, it appears the years have been good to you.”
“And obviously, they’ve been successful for you,” she added. They each sipped their drinks, the awkward bleeding all over them.
“So, you married? Living with someone?” he asked nonchalantly. Yeah, sure, that.
She shook her head. “No. I was seeing someone back in Boston where I moved from, but it wasn’t going anywhere.” She looked up at him from under her lashes. “And you?”
“No. No time for all that. I work eighty hours a week and spend the other few at the gym or sleeping. I’m not all that exciting.”
She shifted on her chair, and her blouse slipped a touch, giving him a peek at the cleavage that hid beneath. His heart raced and his skin heated.
“Well, from what I heard on the news earlier, today’s been enough excitement for a few years at least.”
He chuckled softly. “It’s been a strange day for sure.”

What a great start to a new series by Chelsea Camaron and Ryan Michele. They do a fabulous job of co-writing and telling a great story.
Kinderly has had it rough she lost her father, then her boyfriend crushed her heart, and now she is left to take care of her mother who has checked out since her father’s death. She was in love with Dixon but when she needed him most he chose Ruthless Rebels MC over her.
DJ has proven himself over the years even gave up the only thing that mattered to him for them but now that Kenderly’s world is falling apart he is taking what has always been his.
I absolutely adored Kenderly her big heart, fight, sass, stubbornness, and ability to stand up to anyone was amazing. She will not go down without a fight no matter what situation she is in. even if it is her and a baseball bat taking on three burly men she will fight to the end to protect herself if need be. Oh and women be warned she will fight for her man and then unleash on those in her path. DJ was amazing too a dick yes but can be a wonderful man when it comes to Kenderly.
This series is going to be great and the men of Ruthless Rebels has me so intrigued I cannot wait to get to know them all. Shamus is next and I have a feeling his will be a great ride with just as strong a woman for him to go after.

Author Comment:
Matthew has been one of my favourite characters since I started writing the Control Series. I’m so happy that I’ve finally got to tell his story. I knew that this story would be darker than the rest and I so glad with the way it has turned it. It is a story of how darkness cannot be allowed to shape you, instead you must use it to allow you to find the light. I really hope you enjoy it.
“Too soon. But earlier you said you were going to take my virginity? What has changed?” There was an angry tone to her voice. She couldn’t understand why not more than half an hour ago he wanted to sleep with her but now he didn’t. Maybe she wasn’t what he wanted? But then the tent in his pants? It was probably just the flogging that turned him on, not Sonia herself. Matthew turned away towards the door.
“I’ll wait outside.”
Tears now stung her eyes, so much for trusting him. So much for thinking she was in love with him and he her. He was probably going to go and get sucked off by someone else while she got dressed. The absolute joy of her orgasm had faded and just left her with a sickness in her stomach. She rose from the bed and reached for her knickers.
“Don’t bother. I’ll get a taxi back. You go and get whatever it is you need from someone out there.”
Before she could collect the rest of her clothes, she was thrown back against the wall, one of Matthew’s large hands massaging a naked breast. His erection grinding into her still thigh as he growled.
“Is that what you think? I want to go out there and fuck someone else?”
“Well, you won’t fuck me despite promising. I obviously did something wrong.” She turned her head away as he tried to kiss her. She wanted nothing more than to kick him in that hard swelling inching closer to the cleft between her legs but her stupid body betrayed her as the moisture of her arousal started to flow again. He twisted her around and landed a hard smack on her inflamed skin.
“I told you never to doubt yourself. Doubt again, and I’ll tan this rosy rear so that you really won’t be able to sit tomorrow. I want you so much, but I don’t want to hurt you. I don’t make love. I fuck. I can’t guarantee that I won’t hurt you and that scares the shit out of me!”
She didn’t know where it came from, but she let out a little laugh. He smacked her arse again.
“I don’t think that’s funny.”
“I don’t either.” She tried to shift in his arms, but he was holding her too tight. “I don’t want tender love making Matthew. I want you to fuck me till I am raw and marked as only yours.”
Teaser 2:
Sonia was escorted up to the top floor of the building and into the expansive office of Mr. James North. She had researched the billionaire as part of her preparation, he was very intimidating. Behind him stood the man who had interviewed her, Mr. Carter. Mr. North stood and held his hand out to her.
“Miss Anderson, a pleasure to meet you. Please take a seat. Matthew has told you of the job specifications?”
Sonia sat on the offered seat, her legs to the side and hands folded neatly in her lap. She so wanted to make the right impression to her new boss at this first meeting.
“He has Mr. North, I am to ensure Miss Jones safety at all times but at present I am to stay back and not allow her to know that she has a bodyguard. Mr. Carter will accompany her when you do not need him, and I will report back to him for all instructions. Under no circumstances am I to acknowledge you. I will maintain this cover unless I feel it necessary to break it, in order to protect Miss Jones from either physical or emotional harm.”
“Superb!” Mr. North looked up at his bodyguard. “I have a meeting but after that, I will be taking Amy shopping. Matthew do you want to provide Sonia with everything she needs. Please give her the keys to the Lexus, I believe it is still stored in the garage below from the last time we used it.” Matthew nodded at Mr. North as the latter left the room, he hadn’t spoken once the entire time she had been in the office. She had learnt this about him though during the training phase. He was often silent; it gave him an allure of mystery and also of power. Sonia had first met him when he had just finished a workout. He was wearing only a pair of shorts, he was muscular in all the right places, and even his shorts looked they could barely contain his statuesque thighs. His hair had been messed up by the towel he had been drying himself with. Sonia was confident she must have looked like one of those cartoon characters whose long tongue rolled out and along the floor when they saw something that sexy! Matthew had just given her a pleasant smile and gone into business mode.

The way you taste, feel, and burn will forever be my favorite.

Cover Designer:
Shane Robert spent his whole life a Michigan native until he entered the United States Air Force after high school graduation. Traveling from San Antonio, Texas to Biloxi, Mississippi, he eventually found a new home as an Air Traffic Controller in Salt Lake City where his tower overlooks the mountains of Utah.
He spends the summer playing soccer and the winters skiing while studying Counter Terrorism at American Military University. You can often find him in the tattoo shop adding to his collection, or writing on his sofa with his feet up and the XBOX on in the background. If there’s one thing he’s good at doing, it’s living in the moment.
Rook heads to South America and finds his hands full with bringing the Pride out of the dark ages that Tomas had kept it in for years under his malicious ruling. He reunites with a few old friends and discovers a dark and twisted world he never knew existed behind the closed doors of the Alpha’s house. With the help of old military buddy Jonah he guides the Pride onto the path of a happy and fruitful living.
Fate has other plans when Rook is blindsided with the fact that his true mate had been kept in the clutches of the former Alpha. Locked behind doors and used as an object to be shared rather than respected and revered as all female shifters should be.
Will he be able to cull the evil from the Pride and make it safe enough for Casey to lead without fear? Will he be able to help his mate heal from the hell she has been put through and coax her cat to come out and play?
I was given a copy of the book from the author for an honest review.
*Purrrr* Oh Rook!! After meeting you in Mack and Casey’s book, I was super excited to read about you.
Rook is the most trusted, elite pack member for Casey, the new female alpha of the Pride in South America. She sends him to check out the pack and make it safe before she and her mate Mack arrive to fix her pack family…the one her father destroyed. Rook is stunned at all he sees and hears of the old alpha. When he meets Jazz, he is fascinated with her as is his cat.
Jazz is a hot mess. She is scared but hopeful. She is worried about the cubs and about the other wives from the old alpha. When she meets Rook she is instantly put at ease as is her cat by him. He calms her and makes her feel things she never thought she might want. However, she fears what he will do once he realizes all she did for her sister wives.
Rook shows such great understanding and compassion for Jazz. He gives her and her cat space to come to terms to the fact she is his and he is hers. The couple are a great read of determination and resolution that if you want it you can achieve to get it.
I loved the side story of Jonas and Tam. If you think Rook has it bad for Jazz, Poor Jonas has it ten times worse with his mate. Their storyline has me full of giggles and smiles. Love truly can heal is a great message for anyone and a big message from this book.
Mother to two boys, 3 four legged babies, and wife to a loving husband who doesn’t mind the extra voices in her head. Miranda grew up on a dairy farm in Illinois, but calls Portland, TN home now. She is an avid reader, coffee addict, and loves her day job working at the local public library. Though her true passion is in creating her own worlds, characters, and stories for her readers.

Theodora, Lady Archer’s Creed Series (Book One)
Lady Theodora with her sharp mind and love of academics becomes the perfect archery coach. Despite being the last to join their group, and the obvious outcast, she will risk her future for her friends.
Georgina, Lady Archer’s Creed Series (Book Two)
Lady Georgina makes the perfect financier. The forgotten daughter of a wealthy duke, she seeks to belong to something—or someone—by any means necessary.
Adeline, Lady Archer’s Creed Series (Book Three)
Miss Adeline is a natural leader. Having grown up in a large and often spirited family, she now allows no one to place her in the shadows.
Josephine, Lady Archer’s Creed Series (Book Four)
Lady Josephine, having a sweet and impressionable nature, strives to please everyone—and keep their bond intact, even after they return to London for the Season.
Adeline, Georgie, Theo, and Josie live each day by the Lady Archer’s Creed, which they developed during their school days at Miss Emmeline’s School of Education and Decorum for Ladies of Outstanding Quality. “Friendship, loyalty, and honor above all” is their mantra. Now, as they face the challenges that come with adulthood, the creed is more important than ever.
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
AHHH!! I love this series!! The ladies are so not your regular, run of the mill historical heroines and THAT makes them so fun and feisty with a side of sassy! Hello!! She grabs and kisses him people!! Ladies most certainly don’t do that!! LOL
Georgina, like the other ladies, has a story and secrets to tell us. She has loved Felton all her life but was rebuffed by him before entering boarding school. We see a brief flashback before the jump into the here and now of the story.
Georgina and the other 2 unmarried ladies are looking to gain some “coin” when she finds herself in front of her lost love. She is stunned her heart starts to beat so fast for him even though it’s been ages since they have seen each other. Felton can’t believe she is there in his arms but why is she angry at him??? He is stunned that she can’t stay out of his mind even though he is desperate to get rid of her.
The couple must deal with their past, her awful stepmother, her stern father, his families lost lands and them pushing away from each other at every turn. I loved the story and wish it had been a little bit longer so we had more of a back story of the couple. It is a great story to read for all you historical readers like me!!

I received this book from the author for an honest review.
Finally, our hottie shifters are back!!
This is a super short and sweet reintroduction to our characters from the series. WE are hanging with Alpha, Adam and his mate, Jenna. Jenna is a totally feisty heroine who is on the SWAT team. When her and her partner Kent get called in to defuse a situation, she gets injured.
Alpha Adam can’t handle the fact he might lose the love of his life and if she does die he will be left without someone she promised him when they were first mated……Adam is Mr. Pouty pants until Jenna can figure out what is missing from her relationship after she injury.
What I am excited about is this book is leading up to the next installment of the series!!
I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
I was thrilled when I saw this was coming out. I have been waiting so long for these shifters. I loved being able to see Alpha Adam, Jenna who is the tough tenacious member of the SWAT team and even her partner the demon.
When Jenna and Kent are called out on assignment to defuse a gunman Jenna is hurt in the processes. Adam is beside himself when he realizes he could have lost her for a second time makes him want Jenna to fulfill her promise to him. However, he does not what to push her into doing what she promised but for her to decide on her own. Only problem is the longer it takes her for figure it out the more he sulks about it. Jenna is trying to heal and get better but with Adam being down right pouty about something that she is left to figure out on her own is trying.
I cannot wait for the next book to come out. I have been waiting for a certain Demon’s story and we are about to get it. This was a great re-intro to these wonderful characters and a great lead into the next book.

It began as a ruse.
Take a girlfriend. Divert the press from the fucked up mess that’s my family until my father is re-elected. Stage a public breakup. Move on.
Only that brilliant plan went straight south the moment I set eyes on Willow Blackwell.
I found her.
My center. My future. A soulmate with the will of a mule and the mouth of a harpy.
I now want things I never wanted before. Permanent kinds of things.
Only Fate—and her ex—have other plans for us.
In some sort of cosmic impossibility, our lives unknowingly intersected years before when tragedy befell both our families. Once the devastating truth is finally revealed, the future I’d found in her will come crashing down around us and for the first time in my life I’m completely helpless.
I may very well lose the only woman I’ve ever loved to a past neither of us saw coming.

AUTHOR BIO
As a USA Today Bestselling author, I write stories that are deeply emotional with flawed characters, because humans ARE flawed and if we read about perfect characters living in their perfect world, first of all, snoozer, but secondly, we never experience the gratification of redemption.
Outside of writing, I’m just a regular ol’ Midwest girl who likes Game of Thrones and am obsessed with Modern Family and The Goldbergs. I run, I eat, I run, I eat. It’s a vicous cycle. I love carbs, but there’s love-hate relationship with my ass and thighs. Mostly hate. I like a good cocktail (oh hell…who am I kidding? I love any cocktail). I’m a huge creature of habit, but I’ll tell you I’m flexible. I read every single day and if I don’t get a chance…watch the hell out. My iPad and me: BFFs. I’m direct and I make no apologies for it. I swear too much. I love alternative music and in my next life I want to be a bad-ass female rocker. I hate, hate, hate spiders, telemarketers, liver, acne, winter and loose hairs that fall down my shirt (don’t ask, it’s a thing).
