ABOUT SINFUL DESIRE:
This book contains Lauren Blakely’s hottest, dirtiest, and most dominating hero ever! Panties optional when reading this sinfully sexy STANDALONE novel in the NYT Bestselling Sinful Nights series!
He gave her the most mind-blowing night of pleasure ever. He made her want to get down on her knees. He dominated her in ways she’d only dreamed of. And she didn’t even know his name…
Control.
It’s what Ryan Sloan values most. Control of his business, control of his secrets, control of his days and nights. With the way his life spiraled in the past, he needs to stay in charge of his present.
Giving up control.
It’s what Sophie Winston craves. After a wildly successful career, she’s stepped away from the business world and is now focused on her work as her city’s most noted philanthropist.
When she meets Ryan Sloan, the chemistry is scorching, and utterly undeniable. Their desire for each other runs red hot. He wants everything she’s willing to give him in bed, and she wants him to take her to new heights as only he can.
Soon, he has to have more. All of her — heart, mind and body.
The only trouble is, he hasn’t been honest about how he met her and the dangerous connection he has to her brother.
When the truth is revealed, he’ll have to give more of himself than he’s bargained for or risk losing the only woman he’s ever let into his heart.
SINFUL DESIRE is book two in SINFUL NIGHTS, a four-book series. Each full-length novel features a new couple. This high-heat, high-stakes sexy romance series follows the Sloan family as each sibling falls madly in love against the backdrop of sin, money, greed, passion, mystery and suspense…
Excerpt
“His fingers traveled along her spine and up her neck to her hair, grabbing it, turning her so she looked up at him. Her eyes were hazy and full of a lust that matched his. “Do you have any idea what you do to me?” he asked harshly.
“I think I do.”
“You are under my skin,” he whispered, as he kept her pressed against the warm hood with one hand, then slinked his other hand down to her waist, and unfastened the slim, orange belt. “And in my head,” he continued as he snapped the belt free. “And I can’t fucking stop thinking about you.”
“I can’t stop either,” she said, and in a flash he wrapped the belt around her wrists, knotting it, twisting it, and tying her hands together with her own accessory. She allowed him, offering up her wrists to be bound. She was a willing hostage.
“That turns me on even more,” he growled in her ear, as he stretched her tied arms along the silver hood.
“Tying me up?”
“Yes,” he said, pressing his erection against her ass. “But what makes me rock hard is the way you let me. The way you want me to. The way you give your body to me,” he said as he grabbed a condom from his pocket, unzipped his pants, and pushed down his briefs.”

Discover the romantic, erotic and suspenseful New York Times and USA Today bestselling FILTHY BEAUTIFUL LIES series, which was named The Next Fifty by Newsweek Magazine. This bundled set contains both Filthy Beautiful Lies and Filthy Beautiful Love, the complete story of Colton and Sophie.
FILTHY BEAUTIFUL LIES
I have no idea why she auctioned off her virginity for a cool mill. Regardless, I’m now the proud new owner of a perfectly intact hymen. A lot of good that will do me. I have certain tastes, certain sexual proclivities. My cock is a bit more discriminatory than most. And training a virgin takes finesse and patience – both of which I lack.
Sophie Evans has been backed into a corner. With her sister’s life hanging in the balance, the only choice is to claw her way out, even if that means selling her virginity to the highest bidder at an exclusive erotic club. When Colton Drake takes her home, she quickly learns nothing is as it seems with this beautifully troubled man. Being with him poses challenges she never expected, and pushes her to want things she never anticipated.
FILTHY BEAUTIFUL LOVE
When Colton Drake paid one million dollars for Sophie Evan’s virginity, the last thing he expected was to fall for her – hard – and then to watch her walk away. But when Sophie discovers that Colton has been lying to her, it is going to take more than money to get her back.
Colton won’t be deterred. Sophie is his – she just doesn’t know it yet. Can he seal the deal and rock her world so thoroughly she’ll never want to leave again, or is it too late…
TEASER:
Still watching my reaction, he lifts one dark brow.
“Honestly, I’d love a blowjob, but considering the mistrust in your eyes,
I’m not sure having your teeth that close to my dick would be the wisest decision.”
“Honestly, I’d love a blowjob, but considering the mistrust in your eyes,
I’m not sure having your teeth that close to my dick would be the wisest decision.”
“I wouldn’t…”
“You wouldn’t what? Blow me? That’s part of the agreement, sweetness, and if you tell me you don’t like sucking cock, we’re going to have a problem.”
“No, I meant I wouldn’t bite you.” I’m not a violent person.
He smiles at me, his full lips parting to reveal straight
white teeth. Apparently that news has made him happy. He looks friendly and
relaxed when he smiles at me like that and I imagine him being a regular guy –
someone I’d meet out at a bar and flirt with. I’d let him buy me a drink and
fantasize about kissing those soft lips as we spoke. Blinking several times, I
realize I’ve been watching his mouth for too long and my eyes dart back up to his.

His smile fades and his hands go to his belt buckle, unlatching the silver clasp with a soft click and sliding it free.

Can’t Resist Series by Violet Duke #OnSale @InkslingerPR @VioletDukeBooks
— A NEW YORK TIMES & USA TODAY BESTSELLER —
“A fast-paced, heartfelt, and fun read!” — New York Times Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely
This is the Sullivan Brothers “Nice Girl” bundled collection, the acclaimed serial trilogy that began the New York Times, USA Today, and worldwide bestselling CAN’T RESIST series. This boxed set contains the three bestselling books: RESISTING (Book One), FALLING (Book Two), and CHOOSING (Book Three).
BOOK #1: THE ONE SHE NEVER THOUGHT SHE COULD KEEP…
Abby Bartlett is the quintessential nice girl. Between teaching, volunteering, completing her PhD, and helping her best friend raise his daughter, Abby never gets the chance to be anything but nice. That is, until the all-wrong-for-her man she’s only ever known from afar starts daring her to simply take that chance for herself. His sage advice? Try something wild and fast. Preferably him.
An unbridled, hotshot attorney with a not-so-little black book, Connor Sullivan has earned himself quite the bad boy reputation. But in his defense, he’s a very conscientious one. He knows far too well that sometimes in life, love isn’t enough…or worse, not even a factor at all. To avoid that misery–and repel the drama–Connor has a firm ‘nothing over a month’ rule. Who knew a nice girl would be the one to make him want to break all his rules?
BOOK #2: THE ONE SHE NEVER HOPED SHE COULD HAVE…
Abby is well aware that everyone thinks she’s in love with her best friend Brian. He is, after all, the type of man a nice girl should be with–the polar opposite of the bad boy–the kind of guy who didn’t let his wife’s decade-long illness stop him from showering her with a lifetime of love every second until her dying day. But everyone’s wrong; she couldn’t possibly be in love with him. Because she’s never once allowed herself that option.
It’s taken a while but Brian Sullivan has finally come to terms with surviving the woman he spent half his life loving, a third of it losing. Truth is though, he wouldn’t have ‘survived’ any of it really had it not been for Abby–sweet, incredible Abby–the woman he’s never once had to picture his life without, never realized he couldn’t truly live without. Until now. Now that he’s finally able to love her the way she deserves, the way he knows she wants to be loved…by his brother. Who’s giving him exactly one chance to speak now or forever hold his peace.
BOOK #3: A DECISION SHE NEVER DREAMED SHE’D HAVE TO MAKE…
In the third book of the NYT & USA Today bestselling trilogy, Abby must decide once and for all between the two brothers — between the bad boy wanting to start a life with her and the good guy fighting for the life they’ve already built.
NOTE: This three-book serial bundle is Books #1-3 of the CAN’T RESIST series. While Book #4 is a separate standalone novel (the other brother’s happily ever after), it is recommended that it be read after the trilogy.

“Sexy, emotional, and so unique!” — Carly Phillips, New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author
Book #3 of the Sullivan Brothers “Nice Girl” trilogy, the acclaimed three-book serial that began the New York Times, USA Today, and worldwide bestselling CAN’T RESIST series
Connor’s back.
Just when Abby’s life seems all but perfect, the infuriating man comes charging back in to wreak havoc on her emotions once again. And in typical Connor fashion, he has yet another proposal for her. But instead of a wild and fast fling, he’s proposing…forever.
Brian’s not giving her up without a fight.
Normally the tame one of the pair, Brian is holding nothing back in the battle for Abby’s heart. He has a decade-long head start in knowing and loving everything about Abby—but is that enough to break the intense hold his brother has on her heart?
Now Abby must decide once and for all between the two brothers — between the bad boy wanting to start a life with her and the good guy fighting for the life they’ve already built.
Note: This is NOT a standalone. This is the third book in a three-book serial.
“One of the best romances I’ve read this year!” — New York Times Bestselling Author J.S. Scott
The Other Sullivan Brother’s Happily Ever After…
The standalone follow-up novel (no cliffhanger) to the Sullivan Brothers “Nice Girl” serial trilogy that began the acclaimed New York Times, USA Today, and worldwide bestselling CAN’T RESIST series
Brian Sullivan has been in love twice in his lifetime. He lost his first love to early-onset Huntington’s, and he lost the other more recently…to his brother. And somehow, his heart has managed to heal itself after both. Amazingly, without therapy. That doesn’t mean Brian hasn’t gotten more wary along the way, however. In fact, he’s been thinking lately that maybe his brother’s now retired nothing-but-flings rule isn’t such a bad idea. Unfortunately, being the nice guy poster boy and all, he isn’t exactly versed in the fine art of flings. So he looks to the outrageously ‘unique,’ provokingly button-pushing Tessa Daniels for a crash course.
There’s absolutely no way he’s falling in love with this one…right?
Tessa has no idea what she was thinking telling Brian that she was some sort of fling expert. She’s never been flung before and she sure as heck doesn’t know where or how to begin flinging a guy like Brian. It was a temporary lapse in sanity, really–no doubt because of the can’t-help-but-fall-for-him brain fuzz that hits her whenever he’s around. Not only does the man have her being more herself than she’s ever been in her life, but he’s the only person she knows who seems to have as many demons and skeletons in the closet as she does. What’s more, he’s got her thinking of the one thing she stopped letting herself even hope for years ago.
A happily ever after.

#Sale #BookSale #LimitedTime #eBook ~ The Gentleman’s Series by A.J. Linn ~ Meet Donovan Hart #BBF #Teaser @GentlemansHub @FuckedUpFifty_
Not all romance stories are about a tall, strikingly handsome rich billionaire that sweeps some poor, helpless female who can’t think for herself, off her feet and then locks her away in his mansion to have erotic, crazy sex for the rest of their lives. And they never go to work again.
Okay, so I exaggerated. A little. Alright, a lot. But I get tired of reading books that while they have romance and some great erotic sex scenes, they are SO unrealistic that it is hard to actually enjoy the story.
Then I met A.J. Linn and his character Donovan. Donovan Hart. But I digress…
What I liked most about The Gentleman’s Series is the way they are written. The Gentleman’s Series is written by a man (yes, AJ Linn is a man) in a male’s point of view. Definitely a refreshing writing style. Comical at times. Realistic and believable. Take out Donovan and insert yourself as he main character, and I bet we have all had a dating story like one of Donovan’s in A Gentleman’s Affair. Did your date totally flake out on you in the middle of dinner and forget your name? Have you tried online dating and was it a train wreck? Did your date have a boyfriend/girlfriend but conveniently forget to tell you until they showed up? Oh just remembering the chapters has me laughing.
Learn about Donovan and his dating disasters in A Gentleman’s Affair, the first book in The Gentleman’s Series. Meet Donovan Hart. A real guy. He is done with the playboy attitude. He wants to find love, his “unico vero amore” – his one true love. The kind of love his parents had. The kind of love that makes you feel like you’ve known the person forever. The kind of love that lasts through good and bad times but you know that person is there for you. The kind of love that kicks your ass when you need it and comforts you when you need it and is just at your side, quietly when you need it. The kind of forever love that holds your hand when you are sitting next to each other watching a movie without realizing you reached for their hand. True love. But we all know it doesn’t fall from the sky and you know the old saying to stop looking and let it happen? Tell that to Donovan. So follow his journey to try and find “her.”
In his second book, A Gentleman’s Secret, we learn a lot more about Donovan Hart. And as the title suggests, we learn some of his secrets. You will not believe what secrets I am talking about. I know you are thinking of some ideas based on the books you have already read but the creative mind of A.J. Linn will surprise you. This book has many twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat as you are reading. You will be pleasantly surprised first, by the result of the cliffhanger you were left with at the end of A Gentleman’s Affair and how it is worked out in A Gentleman’s Secret but also how Donovan’s secrets and his past play into his meeting women. I am trying VERY hard not to give anything away to spoil the experience of this book. I can say that A.J. Linn wrote characters into his story that were created by his readers and followers on Twitter. He chose where and when to use them but it was fun to have MY character mentioned when he…
After reading the first two books, you will have questions about Donovan. Lots of questions, trust me. If you could talk to AJ Linn himself, you would bombard him with so many you might not come up for air. Questions about his early years. Lots of questions. How, why, when, how many, etc. Well, not to be disappointed, A.J. Linn wrote the third book in The Gentleman’s Series to answer all those questions, and more. Go back in time and meet the young, playboy Donovan Hart when the world was his playground. Nothing interfered with his fun. He had THE life. But then, all of a sudden, his world crashes down on him, turned upside down and he has to grow up. Fast. And he does. But as he does, he becomes THE Donovan Hart that we fell in love with in the first two books. You can’t miss this part of his life, the details, oh the details, the adventures, the mistakes and the girls. Again, A.J. Linn wrote characters that were created by his followers on Twitter, into the story. As a reader I was excited to see where my characters “fit in” and how A.J. connected them to his master plan. It is interesting and exciting. VERY interesting. A.J. Linn has an incredibly creative mind. How does he know so much about…?
If you want to check this series out, you are in luck! Right now they are on sale at Smashwords. Each book in the series is marked down to give you a chance to meet and fall in love with Donovan Hart like so many of us have done.

And…there is a book four coming. Yes, you read that correctly. Book four is in the works now. What is it about, you might ask? That is top secret (no, I do not know) but I do know it is called A Gentleman’s Fate so…let your imagination take you down some different avenues. Who knows? The crafty, creative mind of A.J. Linn will surprise us, he might throw us on the floor, have us flailing ourselves on our beds screaming, pounding the mattress with our fists and yelling at him for how the story-line progressed, and all the while, he will be sitting back, reading the responses on Twitter with a great big smirk on his face. I am sure of that! But I digress…
Here are some teasers for A Gentleman’s Fate that The Gentleman’s Hub shared with me. (rubbing hands together) Just wait until you see these…my mind is already racing with ideas. If you follow the Hub on Twitter you will see these as soon as they are posted, usually on Tuesdays. Here they are:
Worth ALL of THIS? Seriously?
Holy crap…lies, betrayal and deceit…the ideas are flowing now. Damn you A.J. Linn.
What are you doing to these characters?
Bigger mess than Danielle? (Rolls eyes) Are you SERIOUS? How can that be?
Now I am REALLY getting excited for the release of A Gentleman’s Fate coming some time in the spring of 2015. Please do not rush Mr. Linn, I know authors have unique minds and the slightest experience in your real life can change your mind about the life of your characters, so please be kind to them and take your time.
If you love the writings of A.J. Linn, he has an alter-ego on Twitter that you can follow as well. Just click on the avi picture below and a new window will open to his Twitter page. His name is @FuckedUpFifty_
And, if you REALLY want more of his writing in his TRUE Christian Grey style, A.J. Linn has a blog that he has been writing in Christian Grey’s point of view (POV) for a few years. The entries are deliciously erotic and sinfully sexy. See the 50 world from his POV as CG. Read more of his blog by clicking on the picture below.

“What can I say about Donovan?? He’s absolutely lovable, charming, and hilarious. A self-professed ladies man who changes his ways and cleans up his act all to find his dream girl. The whole book is told through him, and you get to see his thought process while he’s on some dates with questionable women. And let me tell you, some of his thoughts were hilarious. It was great to read about a man looking for love. I know we all ladies are used to reading this quest through female leads, so it was a great swap for me. I couldn’t believe some of the dates he had to endure, I was laughing so hard(maybe a even a little snort-laugh) when he met the online girl in person and was “blown-away” haha.”
“The characters throughout the book were very well written, especially Donovan and Scarlett. They were so compatible and you could really feel their connection. Watching their relationship develop I got invested and I found myself really rooting for them.”
“This author needs to write MORE books – he’s done an incredible job on his first outing, and we can only hope for more in the future.”
“I loved that this story is written from the man’s point of view. This book will pull you in and you will not be able to get enough of Donovan!! MUST READ!!!”
“Author AJ Linn is proving to be very talented. A Gentleman’s Affair pulls you in and keeps you Intrigued from start to finish. Guaranteed to leave you wanting more. Then you must immediately read A Gentleman’s Secret. Donovan Hart will pull you into a world of lust, love, and raw emotion. You will NOT be disapointed. This is a Must Read!”
“Reading books written in the male point of view are becoming my favorites. A Gentleman’s Affair by A.J. Linn is the story of the sexy bachelor Donovan Hart told through his point of view. I must say, getting inside the mind of this eligible bachelor makes this story a funny, witty and sexy read.”
“I was a little hesitant to read this, not wanting another Fifty Shades knockoff. Most popular books in this genre seem to use a “perfect” character in one of the main roles and catered towards the female in the story. I was pleasantly surprised to find it all from the male’s point of view. I found myself able to relate to the main character; bad dates and crazy exes a little too similar to my own experiences. The best part of this book is how easy it is to read. It isn’t juvenile by any means, but incredibly easy to read. I read quickly anyways, and absolutely flew through this book. The character development was perfect, the book kept me engaged, and I genuinely enjoyed the read.”

As the author of the best-selling mystery romance, Surviving Goodbye, Morgan Parker has written several novels under this pen name. In 2012 and 2013, when he self-published Textual Encounters and Textual Encounters: 2, respectively, he was absolutely floored that anyone would want to read his stories. So he wrote non friction, an unconventional love story. That love story earned Mr. Parker a tremendous amount of attention and at the insistence of his readers, he followed it with Hope (a novella) and Sick Day. All three of those stories have spent time on Amazon best-seller lists. Currently, he is preparing Violets & Violence for publication in late-2014.
When not writing, Morgan likes to spend time gathering writing material from his two young children, reading and napping where he discovered the Type II Sleep State, which is the topic for his 2015 release, Anna Graham.
Morgan interacts regularly with his readers and friends on Facebook and Twitter.

Beauty from Pain Excerpt
Jack McLachlan’s POV
I sit in the dark corner and scan the room like a starved predator searching for prey. I haven’t chosen her yet, but the woman who will share my bed for the next few months is in this room right now. I watch a lovely blond approach my table. “What can I bring you?” Hmm. A waitress—not at all my usual taste.
I have a type. Attractive. Mature. Refined. This barmaid meets the attractive requirement well enough, but she’s void of refinement or maturity as displayed by her choice of apparel—a white, barely there tank top and frazzled cutoff denim shorts. She doesn’t do it for me. Plus, my last two companions were blond. I want a different flavor this time, but no redheads. I want a brunette. A beautiful one. I remind myself I’m not in Sydney where I have an endless variety of sophisticated women from which to choose. My choices are more limited in the small town of Wagga Wagga, but that doesn’t mean I have to settle for the first attractive woman I see.
“I’ll have a Shiraz.” I’m prepared for a more prolonged relationship this time—three whole months instead of the usual three or four weeks. I’m looking forward to keeping this one around a little longer, and that’s all the more reason to be certain I make a wise choice. I begin my search of the club with the first table toward the front of the room. A brunette beauty sits with a group of women. I watch her for a while, but decide she’s too friendly with the woman sitting next to her. Lesbians aren’t in my repertoire. I spend the next hour scanning the club and come up empty-handed. I’m discouraged. No one stands out as the one and this club is by far my best bet for meeting single women in this town. Maybe I should consider coming back another time when it’s not open mic night. Tonight, the place is crawling with boozed college students. Tonight’s search has been a failure, but at least the karaoke was entertaining. I’m finishing off the last of my wine before I leave when an announcer from the club takes the stage and asks for the next singer to step forward. A small group of people across the room nominates one of its own. My view of the poor bastard is blocked by the crowd of intoxicated kids standing between us, but I’m certain this is going to be another delightful train wreck.
The club erupts into cheer and chants. “Do. It. Do. It. Do. It.” A young woman walks onto the stage and stands with her back to the crowd as she lifts a guitar from its stand. She lifts its strap over her head and then tosses her long brown hair over one shoulder. When she’s finished settling the guitar into place, she circles around and sits on the stool in the middle of the stage.
She’s beautiful. And somehow overlooked during my search. She’s wearing a short ivory dress and a denim jacket with brown cowgirl boots. She bares her thighs as she lifts her feet to rest on the bottom rail, but she’s careful to push her dress between her legs so she doesn’t provide a peep show to the crowd. She strums the borrowed guitar a few times and then leans into the microphone. “Is everyone having a good time tonight?” She’s
American. I think. Her accent sounds different—not like what I’ve heard in the past.
The crowd erupts into a drunken cheer and I hear a man’s voice yell over the crowd, “It’s better now, sweet thing!”
She smiles and adjusts the mic. “I’m not from around here. It’s my first night in Australia.”
“Leave with me and I’ll make you feel right at home!” a man shouts from the back of the room. She ignores the fat, ugly bastard yelling at her. “I don’t know what kind of music Australians like, but this has been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember.” She strums a few more chords. “This is ‘Crash Into Me’ by the Dave Matthews Band.”
She sings it slower than the original, putting her own twist on it. Her voice is raspy and sexy, her eyes closed. She oozes eroticism. She tilts her head and opens her eyes when she begins to sing the chorus. I swear it feels like she’s looking right in my direction, singing to me. “Oh, and you come craasshh … into me. And I come into … you … And I come into you … in a boy’s dream … in a boy’s dream.”
The stage lights shine in her face and common sense tells me she can’t see me sitting in the dark corner at the back of the club, but that doesn’t stop me from hoping.
She finishes the chorus and shuts her eyes again. Her long legs bounce against the rail of the stool to keep rhythm and I fall victim to her siren’s song. She has bewitched me. And I want her. She’s the one.
Georgia resides in rural Mississippi with her wonderfulhusband, Jeff, and their two beautiful daughters. She spent fourteen years as a
labor and delivery nurse before she decided to pursue her dream of becoming an
author and hasn’t looked back yet.
When she’s not writing, she’s thinking about writing. When
she’s being domestic, she’s listening to her iPod and visualizing scenes for
her current work in progress. Every story coming from her always has a song to
inspire it.
