Brady…
What the hell do I know about raising a baby? Nothing. Not a goddamn thing.
Yet here I am, the sole guardian of my niece. I’d be lost if it weren’t for Katherine, the beautiful girl who seems to have all the answers. Katherine, who’s slowly finding her way into my cynical heart. I keep reminding myself that I can’t fall for someone when we don’t have a future. But telling myself this lie and believing it are two different things. Katherine…
When Brady shows up on a Harley, looking like an avenging angel—six feet, three inches of chiseled muscle, eyes the color of wild sage, and sun-kissed skin emblazoned with tattoos—I’m not sure if I should fall at his feet or run like hell. Because if I tell him what happened the night his family died, he might hate me.
What I don’t count on are the nights we spend together trying to forget the heartache that brought us here. I promise him it won’t mean anything, that I won’t fall in love. I shouldn’t make promises I can’t keep. Shameless is an adult contemporary romance/spinoff featuring a character from The Dearest Series, but it can be read as a complete standalone.

Excerpt
Marco leaned into me, his breath fanning across my face, causing goosebumps to race across my skin. “You’re very stubborn for someone who’s paid to provide me pleasure. É una fortuna che mi piacciono le sfide.” “What was that?” I asked softly. “Good thing I enjoy a challenge,” he replied without blinking. I cleared my throat, uncomfortable with the level of attention he was giving me. “Why don't we get on with what I'm here for,” I suggested in a sultry voice. His eyes narrowed. “As you wish. Your madam says you are like a...” He looked off toward the ceiling. “The animal that changes color.” “A chameleon?” “That is the one.” He smiled widely, showcasing a dimple in his left cheek, made more pronounced by the dark stubble on his jaw. As sudden as the ferocity had flared up inside of him, it quickly disappeared. “It's true. I can be whatever you want,” I replied in a seductive voice. I closed the distance between us, placing my hand on his chest. He flinched at the contact like I'd scorched him. Not a lot, but enough that I noticed. Looking up into the depths of his dark eyes, I said, “Why don't you tell me what you're looking for, and then we can discuss any extras in my payment.” The smile dropped from his face and he reached for my wrist, pulling my hand from his chest. “What I want from you will be very different than most men.” My eyes widened and I sucked in a breath. This ought to be interesting. I'd had all manner of things proposed to me before, but the fact that Marco felt the need to warn me set off alarm bells ringing in my head. “And what is it you want from me, Mr. Valenti?” I whispered. “Call me Marco.” “Alright, Marco.” He traced his thumb along my hairline and stared down at me, intensity pouring out of his gaze like a waterfall. My breathing hitched, and I found myself wanting to lean into his caress to further close the distance between us. Then the hum of his cell phone vibrating from his pocket broke our connection. He reached into his pocket, glanced briefly at the screen, and stepped back to take the call. “As always, your timing is impeccable.” The corners of his mouth dipped, and I had the distinct impression that he wasn’t pleased with whoever was on the other end of the line. Marco listened for a moment while staring out the wall of glass down to the strip below. His hand holding the phone flexed around it for a second at something the other person had said. “Give me five minutes,” he bit out. Another pause. “Well, if you want it to happen tonight, you have no choice but to wait.” Without a goodbye, he ended the call and placed the phone back into the breast pocket of his suit jacket. With his hands on his hips, he remained facing the window for a moment, drawing in deep breaths of air. “I must go.” Not what I was expecting to hear. “Okay...” He turned and stalked forward until only mere inches separated the two of us. His large hand came to rest at the swell of my hip before he leisurely dragged it across my waist and brushed the side of my breast with his palm. My nipples tightened inside my lace bra. Marco dropped his hand and leaned into me. My heart picked up pace inside my chest as I waited for his lips to touch mine. He stood solid and still before me while I waited, my anticipation like a live wire setting every nerve ending in my body on fire. Just when I thought he’d close those final few inches, he brought his face alongside mine and his low voice sounded in my ear, “I’ll get you your money.” His words were like a bucket of cold water, and I stepped back as if he’d slapped me. It pissed me off that he’d left me wanting. He stalked back over to the bar and returned a moment later with an envelope. I eyed the cash inside before placing it in my purse. It seemed ridiculous to me that I’d be paid for having a conversation in the man’s room for such a short time, but I wasn’t about to argue with him about it. “It’s been a pleasure, Mr. Valenti.” I made sure to use his last name since he’d asked me not to. I had a tendency to lash out when I was upset. An amused grin formed on his face, but he said nothing. I strutted around him to the suite door. As I unlocked the dead bolt then slid the chain across, Marco’s hand landed on my ass, skimming over it a few times before his other hand pulled my hair to the side to expose my neck. I hadn’t even heard him come up behind me. He pressed a kiss to the base of my neck and I shuddered, shivers racing up my spine. I felt his smile against my skin before he removed his lips and stepped away. Without a backward glance, I turned the door handle and left the suite. The warm feeling that had invaded my chest remained, but my stomach fell into a nauseous churning. Somehow my body knew what I didn't already. Marco Valenti would be the springboard in my life that caused everything to change. 4.5 Star Review by Ashley
I am still in shock that the book I just read, Hook, is from Elisabeth Grace. This is so different from her usual writing but I loved every sinfully sweet and delightfully dirty moment of it. I was, pun intended, hooked from the eye popping opening.
Brandi, the escort with a heart of gold that bleeds for her son, Daniel, and him only. I loved that she has hopes a dreams that are far bigger than what she does for a living. When work brings her to the door of the mysterious and uber sexy Marco Valenti, all bets are off. This man. I don't even know how to put him into words. He is broody and dominant but also refined and a gentleman. I liked that I didn't learn much about him except for what he does when his suit comes off! These two steam up the sheets and the door and the shower and the...you get the point. The chemistry is undeniable and as Marco demands more of her time, they come to an understanding and even a friendship of sorts. But when outside forces plot to get their way no matter the cost, Brandi is left in the cross fire- and by extension, Daniel. Gah! I didn't see this turn coming but I enjoyed how it changed the dynamic of Marco and Brandi's quasi relationship. From here on out the intensity really picks up and just when I thought Marco and Brandi have got it figured out- BAM!!! The twist of all twistsl! My jaw was on the floor. Hook is an absolute whirlwind that will leave you absolutely reeling and wanting to yell at Elisabeth Grace for doing that to you. I am beyond ready for Burn, the next book in this series.

I’m not your good ole boy or boy-next-door type of guy.
If that’s what you’re looking for, I suggest you move on. I curse a lot, work too fucking much, and keep to myself. My edges are hard, rough, and even dark at times.
I never thought I would wind up in the business I’m in. I may not always play by the rules, but I go where the money is, keep my nose clean, and my affairs organized.
Who knew one fucking e-mail would change everything in my controlled life. I swore I’d never touch a case like hers again, but there was something intriguing behind every word I read.
She had my attention, she would have my services, but I never thought she’d steal my heart.
My name is Chase Black, owner of Dark Edges PI.
I’m your good girl and I once had everything.
A big beautiful house with a view of gorgeous mountains, an expensive car, stress-free job, a wardrobe any woman would die for, but one thing was missing… the ever-absent husband.
I never expected to be in the position I’m in, but I needed answers.
I sent one e-mail thinking I would figure it all out. It wasn’t the route I intended to take. The life I’d been living was a lie and he gave me the answers I needed. What happened next I wasn’t prepared for.
He had my information, he took the case, but I never thought he’d capture my heart.
My name is Naomi McAllister, owner of a broken heart.
This is our story…
Even as my ankles began to sting with the strain they held, I couldn’t move, I was in a trance. A spell that only he had the power to break and I gazed up at him with burning desire, silently giving myself to him, waiting for his command.
Chase broke the thick hunger-filled tension and firmly whispered, “Knees.”
I didn’t question or hesitate, I don’t even think I flinched when I easily moved to kneel before him causing the fabric of my skirt spreading to its limits.
“That’s my girl,” he coarsely muttered.
Raging emotions came over me and my lids fluttered to hold back the stinging tears. He instantly crouched before me, taking my shaky hands in his. “You trust me, Naomi?”
“Yes,” I breathed.
Chase nodded, placing my hand on my thigh, and he raised his to brush it across my cheek. The gentle touch of his rough hand had me leaning into it and closing my eyes and when he squeezed the hand he was still holding, my eyes flickered open.
With his hand cupping my cheek, eyes on mine, he began to slowly lean in and my tongue automatically came out to trace my lips. His eyes dropped to my mouth and watched its movement and when they lifted to mine, he gave a throaty growl. The dampness between my legs seeped onto my thighs and the pounding in my chest radiated throughout my body.
I straightened my back and braced for the lips of Chase Black to meet mine.

When I have down time, I love to be surrounded by family, friends, great food, or engrossed in a good book.

Dane Prescott spends his days staring at perfect holes, and knows how to use his stiff shaft to get there. He’s as hot as he is good at the sport he loves more than breathing.
Dane has one goal and one goal only, to be on the professional golf tour. It’s who he is and what he lives for. Women, although fun, aren't in his long-term plans.
Beverly Whitfield didn’t start off as the confident woman she is today. Teased mercilessly as a child and always feeling second-best, she set out to change her future and is finally putting herself first. Never in her wildest imagination did she think she’d fall for a man with stunning good looks and sex seeping from his pores. And, oh yeah, he plays golf.
To those who say golf is complicated and frustrating, Dane says, “No, that’s love.”
**Intended for readers over the age of 18**
4.5 Star Review by Ashley
I was intrigued by Dane when I first met him in Incumbent so I was very anxious to jump into his story. Now, if you're like me, you see golf and think- yawn, boring. WRONG!! While reading Gripped, Joanne Schwehm made me laugh, swoon and want to take a golf lesson!
Dane is the ultimate man child. He has no time in his life for relationships or love. His is solely focused on one thing, going pro. I loved his honesty and how fiercely he loves his family. He's making all the right moves- both on and off the green- and schmoozing when he needs to. At one of those fancy, not at all him but necessary events he meets Beverly. Oh how I loved her from the moment she graced the pages of this book. She is classy and just a touch sassy. In a sea of black she is crimson and Dane likes what he's sees, a lot. The chemistry is there from the first meeting and as much as they may want to, they can't ignore it. Bev has a heart of gold that Dane couldn't help but fall for. So much so that he introduced her to his family! Those Prescott's welcomed Bev with open arms and minds. The friendship between Lucy, Gretchen and Bev is something she had been missing her whole life and it made me so happy that Dane gave that to her. And when her world started to crumble they were the ones who helped her put it back together again. Gripped captured my heart with its honesty. I feel I've already said too much but there is so much more to this book than golf. It's about family. Following your dreams. Being true to who you are and who you want to be. It's about learning to love who you are. Following your heart even when it takes you somewhere unexpected. Being the best version of yourself even when life gets in the way. Joanne Schwehm delivered on all fronts with this book and I am wholeheartedly looking forward to more from the Prescott clan (soon please).
