That’s why they’ll always be ‘just friends.’ But maybe when it comes to love, what looks good on paper just isn't good enough...

Spencer knows what Ellie wants for herself. In fact, he thinks she deserves every bit of it. She sure as hell deserves more than what he can offer her.

As the weeks of training drag on, he can't help but think that if it weren't for the shadows of his past, he would make her his future.

**The Start of Us is a prequel novella to The Thrill of It and can be read before or after. **

A new adult story of First Times. Last Times. Connections. And No Regrets...
I only wanted a tattoo. A mark on my body to remind me of who I used to be. Something to hold onto when I started my penance for all the things I'd done wrong, the bad choices I'd made by the time I turned nineteen. Instead, I found a night of possibility, of truth, of hope for the future. And the most intense physical connection I've ever had.

The only one I've ever had, and one I will never forget.

Trey...
When she walked into my tattoo shop, I knew she was like me. Harley had secrets. She had a messed-up past, and things she wanted to run from, or forget ever happened. I couldn't let her go. So we agreed on one night - to spend it together wandering around the city, getting to know each other, the clock ticking because we knew tomorrow would bring an end to the possibility of an us.

Unless tonight was only the start.

How can one night be the start of something when tomorrow it has to end?
 

*This novella is recommended for 17+ due to sexual content and mature themes.*

Willow Haywood has always been trapped between the worlds of the Light and the Dark. Her waking hours are plagued by her ability to feel the emotions of those around her. No matter how inward she draws, she cannot shut out the feelings of others. Sometimes she will see images - echoes of other people and places - that she can enter to influence the emotions of people she has never met.

But every new moon she lives through something much darker: a horrific nightmare shared by another mysterious boy who is always shrouded by shadows.

One night, this shadowy figure invades her dreams outside of his appointed time. In this new nightmare, Willow is marked; a mark which follows her into the waking world and sets her on a momentous path through light and darkness, through fragmented myth and half-truths, through past lives and disturbing family secrets, all in the face of the ever-dominant Zodiac. What she finds will endanger the lives of those closest to her and will force her to make a decision that will change her world forever.

**HELP SAVE THE INDIE AUTHORS**




Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo are trying to drop Indie Authors for content (ie. rape, abuse).

A LOT of the authors we read and REALLY TRULY ENJOY are Indie and self-published.

Take a minute to sign this. Writing is a form of creative expression, and how dare anyone try to censor that. Giving someone a heads up on the themes involved in the books would be a better idea, NOT removing them completely. Let people judge for themselves what they want to read. 

I'm sorry, this makes me so mad. This is like telling someone they aren't allowed to use red paint, when their painting needs red paint to make sense. Trying to censor the creative 

abilities of someone is just NOT right.

I've had the honor of reading an ARC of M. S. Willis' new release "Madeleine, Abducted". It is hands down one of the most phenomenal books I have ever read. M. S. Willis has a way of taking the darkest stories, the ones that make your entire being hurt while you read them, and making them an absolute thing of beauty. Her writing is fantastic, and she has made a reader for life out of me.  

My review of "Madeleine, Abducted" will be posted during the blog tour on October 30th, so be sure to check back!
(HINT: It made my 6 star list!)
______________________________________

She was meant to be his destruction…
A pawn played in a perilous game between 
father and son…
Yet, her strength was more than either 
man could imagine. 
As Maddy learns to save herself… 
She becomes the one thing that could 
set the son free.

Madeleine Clark was raised to become a concert cellist. Sheltered and naïve, she remains hidden behind her music, a protection from the world around her. On the night of her first solo performance, Maddy accepts the admiration of a stranger and finds herself captive in a cruel and twisted power struggle between a sadistic father and his son, Aaron.

Seemingly dangerous and uncaring, Aaron manages the business operations of his father’s estate. Wanting nothing to do with the slaves kept at the Estate, Aaron refuses to take part in the deeper depravities of his father. Despite his resistance, Aaron’s father ‘gifts’ him with a petite, brunette woman he can’t refuse. 

A bond forged in conspiracy and deceit, Aaron struggles to save Maddy by teaching her to survive in the world in which he’d been raised. An unlikely union, Aaron soon learns that great strengths can exist within small packages, while Madeleine learns that love and light can exist in the darkest of places.

"The Control Series"
Another favorite series of mine! These books will suck you in, and you will NOT want to put them down. I lost sleep, I forgot to eat, and it was completely worth it.
______________________________________

Control: The Control Series #1

Paige Stone lived anything but a normal childhood. Having been raised around an abused women's shelter operated by her parents, Paige was a constant witness to the tragedy and heartache suffered by women at the hands of the men they trusted. Out of refusal to ever allow that to happen to her,... Paige built walls around her heart at a young age. Those walls were only fortified when tragedy struck on her sixth birthday and took from her the only friend and love she knew. Now at 22 years old, and working as a private investigator, Paige is driven by a deep need for strength, independence and a stubborn refusal to accept help from another person. Surrounding herself with her three best friends, Paige never assumed that the autonomy she had worked so hard to build could be challenged.

That was, until Paige met Daemon Pierce.

Mysterious, strong-willed, and breathtakingly beautiful, Daemon seemed to instantly know Paige better than she knew herself. Paige is disgusted by Daemon's reputation as a womanizer, but becomes intrigued when she is unable to discover his background. Paige's curiosity about Daemon proves to be her downfall as she is swept up in his charming and arrogant pursuit to possess her in every possible way.

For the first time in her life, Paige will struggle for control while Daemon slowly dismantles the walls she has built around herself. Only time will tell who will be victorious in their battle of wills as Daemon teaches Paige the weaknesses within herself that she never knew existed. Paige stays one step ahead in her struggle against Daemon's controlling ways, but when tragedy strikes her life a second time, she has to choose; will she put her life in danger, or will she finally accept a helping hand?

When Paige discovers a message left by Chris, she devices a plan to locate him while keeping Daemon in the dark as to her plans.
