She was a game he was determined to win. Jensen Stone was thriving in her first year of college. So thirsty for success she could already taste the achievements on her lips.

Until one night, she finds herself in the lion’s den of sorority row, accepting a dare she knew she couldn’t complete. Damien Cross was bored. He no longer craved the dominance and control he had swirling in the palms of his powerful hands. He was determined to walk away from the empire he'd spent the last ten years building. What he didn’t factor in was the unexpected distraction. He might be angry at her inconvenient timing, but the urge to break the new toy dangling in front of him was all consuming. It wouldn’t hurt to play one last time. One night. His rules. Will she obey his demands to fulfill a dare? Or will she realize his dark tastes are anything but exquisite?

But this is no ordinary castle. It’s called Heartstone Psychiatric hospital and it houses forty other patients. It has nurses with mean faces and techs with permanent frowns. It has a man, as well. A man who is cold and distant. Whose voice drips with authority. And whose piercing gray eyes hide secrets, and maybe linger on her face a second too long. Willow isn’t supposed to look deep into those eyes. She isn’t supposed to try to read his tightly leashed emotions. And neither is she supposed to touch herself at night, imagining his powerful voice and that cold but beautiful face. No, Willow Taylor shouldn’t be attracted to Simon Blackwood, at all. Because she’s a patient and he’s her doctor. Her psychiatrist. The medicine man. WARNING: This book discusses sensitive issues including but not limited to, depression and suicide. EXCERPT “Do you have someone special, Dr. Blackwood?” Someone you kiss? Someone you grab and pull into a dark alley and press against walls? I don’t say that but I’m definitely asking that. It’s like he hears the unspoken questions because the heat of his body seems to have doubled. Like his blood is rushing in his veins with an uncanny speed. With flaring nostrils and a hard jaw, he answers, “No.” “Why not?” “Because I’m busy.” I want to smile. Actually, I’ve never wanted to smile this hard. Ever. His answer calms me but it also makes me restless to move closer to him. I want to trace my palm over the arch of his chest and see if I got it right in my dreams. But I don’t do any of those things. I don’t want him to take away this small concession he’s given me. Why is he even giving it to me? I’m not complaining. But still. “Busy with patients?” “Busy with my job. Yes,” he says, all professional-like. That’s what he is. Professional and distant. Dedicated to his job and fixing people. If Mass General let him go, then they are idiots. I’m an idiot, too, in this moment. Instead of backing off, I want to do something. Something that might crack his cool façade. Maybe reaching up and messing up his no-nonsense hair. What would he do? If I did that? If I grabbed his collar and pushed him against the wall? And kissed him? My eyes drop to his lips, his soft, soft lips. There’s a cleft in the middle of his lower lip. I want to taste that cleft, dig my tongue in it, wet it, suck on it, bite it. “So you don’t have fun at all?” “No. I’m not a fun guy.” I watch his lips form the words, and every syllable that comes out of his mouth makes my need to shake him, kiss him, mess him up, stronger. Stronger and stronger. The need is so consuming that I hardly notice when he puts his hand on my palm and takes it off his body. It’s final and smooth, his action. Effortless. As though my touch barely registered to him. “But I think you have a point. It’s after hours and I should go… have fun rather than spending my time with a patient.” He steps back then. “I’ll see you next week. Same time.” About the Author Writer of bad romances.

Author Bio
Crazy woman from a remote location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a necessity!), I have been writing since ... forever? Yeah, that sounds about right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball - I also see shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I'm clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.
I like dogs more than I like most people, and I don't trust anyone who doesn't drink. No, I do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the year, there's your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair - both a curse and a blessing - and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can't understand me.
Yeah. I think that about sums me up.

Unfortunately, her presence awakened the evils of my past that would not rest until they destroyed what I held dear to my heart.

You can outrun a lot of things. The truth isn’t one of them. Jenna Lewis has spent the last fourteen years lying about her past, but all that changes when a family emergency calls her back to the quaint town of Langley Park. Her plan is to get in and get out as quickly as possible, but things become complicated when she comes face-to-face with her lost childhood love who is struggling with his own demons. While neither wants to admit their connection is still lightning-hot, the intensity of their attraction is too strong to deny. But not everything is as it seems. Unsettling events begin to occur, threatening not only Jenna’s second chance at love but her very life. Will she survive what lies ahead? Can her heart navigate the road home? The Road Home is a sexy standalone romance in the Langley Park series. Jenna glanced away from the children and met Ben’s gaze. She gave him an embarrassed smile as the little girls danced around her. “Looks like we might get some weather,” Zoe said, motioning to the lightning in the distance. “It’s that time of year,” Sam replied with a yawn. “All right, lazy bones, why don’t we give poor Jenna a reprieve,” Zoe said, taking Sam’s hand and joining Jenna and the children on the pavilion dance floor. Sam picked up Kate, and Zoe ushered the remaining little girls over to watch a woman making balloon animals. Jenna was left standing alone as the first few notes of Eric Clapton’s ballad “Wonderful Tonight” began to play. Jenna turned to leave, and Ben’s heart rate kicked up. His limbs twitched. His body was nearly vibrating. He needed to be close to her. Unable to hold himself back, he walked up the steps to the pavilion and cut off her departure. She stopped and met his gaze, confusion clouding her eyes. He offered her his hand. Jenna looked at it warily as if he were handing her a stick of lit dynamite. She shook her head. “I don’t think—” “It’s just a dance,” he countered, knowing that was a lie. She bit her lip. He could tell she was turning something over in her mind, but she put her hand in his. Several people had gotten up to dance, and soon the pavilion was full of couples swaying under the twinkling lights. He gathered Jenna into his arms and inhaled, smelling the faint lavender scent of her shampoo. She shivered, and he wasn’t sure if it was because of his touch or the cool breeze that picked up and caused the hanging lights to sway as if they too were moving to the beat. “Are you cold?” he asked, pulling her in closer. She studied his face as if she were trying to decipher a code. “Why are you dancing with me?” He released a pained breath. “Because I couldn’t stay away from you any longer.” “I don’t know what you want from me. Did I do something to upset you?” Her brown eyes were full of questions. "It’s not you.” “It’s something,” she whispered. A chorus of giggles erupted nearby, and Ben and Jenna looked over to see Kate and her friends sitting on the steps of the pavilion. Their hands were cradling their little chins as they watched them dance. “I think we have an audience,” he said, then raised his arm and slowly twirled Jenna around to the little girls’ delight. He finished the turn and brought Jenna back to him. “She’s amazing, you know?” Jenna began. “Who?” “Your daughter, she’s wonderful.” Ben smiled. It was the first real smile to grace his lips all week. He’d been fighting his demons since the episode in the garage. Memories of Sara haunted his dreams, and he tried to block out the torment the only way he knew how—by spending his time focused on his job and his daughter. But it wasn’t working. Looking over at Kate, he saw how she was staring at Jenna. “I think we’re both falling for you.” “Ben, I don’t understand, I…” But she wasn’t able to finish. The ping, ping, ping, sounds of rain echoed on the tin roof of the pavilion, and a sharp crack of lightning followed by the angry rumble of thunder caused the band to stop playing. Another bolt of lightning struck, and lights in the pavilion went dark as the wind whooshed through. The sound of cups and plates crashing to the ground filled the air. Cell phone flashlights broke out through the darkness and moved erratically as the rain fell harder. Jenna felt little arms grab around her waist. “Pick me up,” Kate cried, grabbing a fistful of Jenna’s skirt. Ben turned on his cell’s flashlight and shined it down on Kate. “It’s all right, Bean. Remember, it’s springtime. We get lots of storms this time of year. I’ll carry you.” “No, I want Jenna.” “It’s all right. I’ve got her,” Jenna said, pulling Kate in close. Kate trembled in Jenna’s arms. Ben tried to reassure his daughter, but his words were drowned out by an eerie mechanical sound penetrating the crackling air. Tornado sirens. If there’s one thing Krista Sandor knows for sure, it’s that romance saved her. After she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2015, her world turned upside down. During those difficult first days, her dear friend sent her a romance novel. That kind gesture provided the escape she needed and ignited her love of the genre. Inspired by the strong heroines and happily ever afters, Krista decided to write her own romance series. Today, she is an MS Warrior and living life to the fullest. When she’s not writing, you can find her running 5Ks and chasing after her growing boys in her adopted home of Denver, Colorado.

Dying to experience life, I cross an ocean to get away from my fears. I find my safe haven in the form of Detective Aiden Holden. He shows me what love is, but then our lives collide. Our little world shatters, and I'm caught in the crossfire. I'm forced to return home, to let go of the only person who has made me feel like I could be more. How do you return to a cage once you’ve tasted freedom? My only hope is that Aiden will cross an ocean for me. When I open the front door, Emma forces a smile to her lips, but I can see it doesn’t reach her eyes. It feels like I’ve lost her, and my heart clenches painfully. Emma steps inside, her body tense as she glances around the foyer, and up at the stairs. I hate that she’s uncomfortable in my home. Having little to no strength left after the nightmare of a week, it feels like I’m about to break. “Emma.” I close the door and take a step closer to her. “Tell me what happened. What you’re feelin’ and thinkin’? Let me help you.” My eyes get stuck on the purple discoloration around her neck. I know from experience what causes marks like that. Emma was choked. It explains why her voice is practically gone. Rage makes me bite the words out, “What happened to your neck?” When she presses her lips firmly together, refusing to talk, I take a step closer to her. Her body instantly goes tense, and she clenches her hands. Fuck, not that. “Emma, what did they do to you?” My voice is low with fear. “Nothing,” she whispers. I can’t stand the distance between us and I take the few steps separating us. I take hold of Emma’s clenched hands and pin them to my chest. She won’t open them or look at me. “Please, Em. Let me share the pain. Let me help you through this.” She shakes her head, her breath catching in her throat. I brush my fingers over her cheek and lean closer. “Who hit you?” She opens her mouth, and at first, only a rasp of air comes out. It hurts like hell to see her like this. Then she presses her forehead against my chest and finally whispers, “Colton.” Fucking bastard. I wish I’d killed him when I had the chance. I wrap my arms around her, wishing I could give her all of the strength I have left. I’m used to being in control, to being able to handle everything, but all my power has been stripped away from me. Pressing a kiss to her temple, I softly say, “Tell me what they did so I can make them pay.” She pushes against my chest, and I take a step back. Her face is tight with anger. “You think you can actually do something about it?” I frame her face and make her look at me. “Emma, I can. I’m not your dad. I’ll prosecute them with everything I have.” “This is not about my fucking dad,” she screams, her voice breaking over the words. “You can’t do anything about it, Aiden. It fucking happened. It’s done. Nothing you do will change that.” Her arms wrap around her waist, and hunching over, a broken cry tears from her. My heart shatters at the sight of her crumbling right before my eyes. I move forward, but she sags to the floor, whimpering, “Don’t touch me.” Feeling helpless as fuck, I watch the woman I love with every single beat of my heart, fall apart. I sit down beside her, needing to let her know I’m not going anywhere. Michelle Heard is a Bestselling Romance Author who likes her books hot, dirty, and with a touch of darkness.
