I wanted to hate her. For three years, Camilla withheld the fact that my brother had a son, Liam.<\/p>\n

Then, Tony died without ever knowing his kid, and I was going to make sure Ms. Rose paid a price for her deceit. I also wanted Liam to be raised as a Burke. Our family\u2019s legacy was one to carry on, so the terms were straightforward.<\/p>\n

Live in my home.<\/p>\n

Allow me to help raise Liam.<\/p>\n

Oh, and agree to be my submissive.<\/p>\n

In return, I agreed not to rip Camilla\u2019s child away from her. I also offered them both financial security and a life of luxury. It seemed generous to me. It might\u2019ve been simple, too, had she not reminded me of the lady in red. The one who haunted my dreams at night. Camilla\u2019s hazel eyes were a mirror image, her sweetness more than an acquaintance to my subconscious.<\/p>\n

I was a hacker by trade, and the internet was my best friend, sharing with me every secret I wished to unearth. I believed that until an unfathomable truth revealed itself in a different way.<\/p>\n

Some secrets are never whispered, only sensed by the heart, and all along, my soul held the truth. It hid even from me the most important secret of them all.<\/p>\n

The Terms ends in a cliffhanger. It contains explicit language and graphic sex, including aspects of BDSM. The second novel in the duet, The Terms: Part Two, will release June 1st.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Excerpt from The Terms: Part One (The Terms Duet)
\n\u00a9 Ruby Rowe 2017 <\/span><\/strong><\/center>Tears well up in my eyes, and my lower lip quivers. \u201cTony was right; you\u2019re evil.\u201d<\/p>\n

His fingers grip my chin once again and press harder this time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew he\u2019d cause me grief from the grave. You and Tony Jr.<\/em> are interruptions I don\u2019t need, but my parents deserve to know their only grandchild. For that reason, I\u2019ll allow this situation to disrupt my world. Besides, it will be good to have another male to carry on the family name.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease, leave us be. Let me raise Liam. I promise I\u2019m a good mother. I struggle financially, but he\u2019s always cared for and loved.\u201d Desperation tips the scale, and my lukewarm tears tumble to my cool cheeks. Looking away, Ellis clears his throat and releases my chin.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoney, right\u2026 I recommend you change the password to your bank account to something more challenging. It was quite easy to empty that miniscule nest egg of yours.\u201d<\/p>\n

From my dry throat, a sob emerges. He\u2019s going to take Liam away and leave me homeless. I have no choice but to play by his rules, so I cough from my cry and suck in short breaths, attempting to collect my dignity. Sniffling, I pull a tissue from my purse and wipe my eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cOK, I\u2019ll do whatever you want. Please, please, don\u2019t take my child from me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snaking his fingers through my hair, his thumb skims along my cheekbone, wiping away the tears. He moves closer, his sultry breath inches from mine, and his eyes roam my face as if he\u2019s admiring a gallery painting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no need to cry. If you\u2019re open to this, your life will be easier\u2013better even. Do exactly as I say, and you won\u2019t lose Liam.\u201d<\/p>\n

I should shove him away. Spit in his face. Anything other than what I\u2019m doing, which is leaning into his hand at my cheek to savor his touch. I\u2019m emotionally fucked in the head, always finding myself attracted to the villain instead of someone nice, like my friend Christopher, for instance.<\/p>\n

As if Ellis feels something, too, he withdraws his hand. \u201cFirst, you\u2019re going to quit your job.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

COLTON<\/strong><\/p>\n

I tried to keep my distance. I knew how much trouble Summer could cause me once she was, in her words, \u201clegal.\u201d She wouldn\u2019t accept that being my best friend\u2019s sister meant she was governed by another set of laws.<\/p>\n

She was the forbidden fruit.<\/p>\n

The \u201coff-limits\u201d trophy prize I couldn\u2019t win.<\/p>\n

The \u201cdon\u2019t look and sure as hell don\u2019t touch\u201d female in my life.<\/p>\n

But Summer pushed until I was backed into a corner. My hands and mouth had nowhere to go but on her. That was my story, and I was stickin\u2019 to it.<\/p>\n

SUMMER<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019d known Colton Graham all my life, and he was always a pest \u2026 until he wasn\u2019t. That handsome face and masculine body he grew into became hard to look away from, and the more he matured and distanced himself from me, the more I wanted him close.<\/p>\n

Since I\u2019d grown up with a brother, I knew how college guys operated. Relationships were off the table, and fine by me; I only wanted two adventurous months with Colton. I knew he wouldn\u2019t be my last, but I was hell-bent on making him my first. What was the harm in that? I could do casual \u2026 or so I thought.<\/p>\n

Summer Trouble is a Ruby Romp Novella, meaning it contains insta-lust, along with an abundance of dirty talk and graphic sex. It can typically be enjoyed in one reading, so get ready for a fast-paced \u201cget your panties wet\u201d ride.<\/p>\n

Q: \u201cWhere do you get the ideas for your books?\u201d \u2013 Author Autumn Sand<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A:<\/strong><\/span> I come up with the ideas for my books in several ways. Sometimes, I can\u2019t explain why a character or storyline appears in my mind, and other times, an idea evolves from personalities or situations I have a desire to write about.<\/p>\n

There are certain types of people and lifestyles I\u2019ve never been exposed to, but I\u2019m curious about them, so I often build stories around those personalities or situations. For example, after reading novels with wealthy, affluent alpha-male heroes, I wanted to try writing about one, so I created a story around that type of man.<\/p>\n

Other times, there is a life lesson or topic I want to expose readers to. Like under my pen name Scarlet Wolfe, I wrote a story about self-harm to shed light on that subject.<\/p>\n

I admit to living vicariously through my stories and characters. I mean, isn\u2019t that a big reason why people read? We\u2019re eavesdropping on a life we\u2019ll likely never live.<\/p>\n

\n

Q: \u201cHow did you get started writing?\u201d \u2013 Reader Amber Dover<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A<\/strong><\/span>: Unlike a lot of authors who say they\u2019ve been writing all their lives, I had never tried to write anything other than what was assigned to me in school. A few of my friends insisted I read Fifty Shades of Grey<\/em>, and I actually laughed because I\u2019d never read anything racy before.<\/p>\n

Once I finished the series, I found myself creating characters in my mind at random moments. From there, I started thinking of a premise. A friend of mine at the time had written a couple of books, and once I shared with her that I had all of these thoughts crowding my head, she encouraged me to type them out.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how my other pen name, Scarlet Wolfe, came about. Sometimes I wish I had known more about writing when I began, but on the other hand, naivety got me to take that first step. I don\u2019t think I would\u2019ve written a book had I known the challenges that would lie ahead.<\/p>\n

\n

Q: \u201cWhat\u2019s your favorite thing about each character?\u201d \u2013 Reader Sarah Vadermillen<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A:<\/span><\/strong> In The Terms<\/em>, my favorite thing about my hero, Ellis, is how vulnerable and kind he truly is beneath his hardened exterior. As far as Camilla, she\u2019s strong and protective, especially in regard to her family. I love that in a heroine. Greyson, Ellis\u2019s cousin, is witty, and I look forward to showing more of that in part two of The Terms<\/em>. I don\u2019t like Christopher, and if my readers don\u2019t either, then I\u2019ve written his character well. We don\u2019t know much about Sasha, but I look forward to showing her grow and strengthen in the next book, and Liam \u2026 well, he\u2019s just happy and adorable.<\/p>\n

\n

Q: \u201cWhat is your favorite part of the process of writing books?\u201d \u2013 Author Autumn Sand<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A:<\/strong><\/span> My favorite part of the writing process is character development. I strive for my characters to have a deeper level of emotional intelligence by the end of their journey. I want to evoke from my readers the same feelings I show in my characters. If my readers can connect emotionally with my characters when they\u2019re nothing like them, then I\u2019ve done something right<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ruby Rowe began writing in January of 2013 under the pen name Scarlet Wolfe,<\/p>\n

releasing contemporary and young adult. She soon tried her hand at writing erotica<\/p>\n

romance and fell in love with the genre.<\/p>\n

\n

The pen name Ruby Rowe came about in 2017 when she decided it best to keep her<\/p>\n

racier books separate from her young adult romances. She\u2019d like to branch out and<\/p>\n

release straight erotica, however, she\u2019s a romantic at heart, and believes it will be<\/p>\n

difficult not to include romance in every story.<\/p>\n

\n

When not writing, Ruby reads naughty books about possessive, hot alpha males. She has<\/p>\n

an addiction to Pinterest, pinning all the sensual photos she can find. She loves bacon,<\/p>\n

coffee, and other flavors of ice cream besides vanilla. \ud83d\ude09 She hopes her writing will allow<\/p>\n

her readers a reprieve from the real world, giving them an opportunity to live out their<\/p>\n

fantasies.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
