Den of Sin series

Participating Authors:  Ambrielle Kirk, Renee Luke, Melissa Blue, Holley Trent

Reckless Attraction by Ambrielle Kirk

My estranged husband, Rich, is a habitual cheater. He says he has a problem with commitment because he’s messed up in the head. I’ve called him on it more than once. No one likes a liar, no matter how handsome he is. He says he wants me to have casual sex with another man to even the score. I don’t need his free pass. I can do bad by myself. I already have…I spend my days working at the diner and my nights in an adult chat room with a sexy stranger, keeping my body at a distance and my heart safe.

Rich’s biggest mistake didn’t occur when he stepped out on me. His undoing was inviting Trevor Stanley into our bed. Trevor is cocky, arrogant, and holds nothing back, but when he looks at me, I’m drawn to him like light is to dark. Pending my divorce, Trevor seems to think I’m fair game and leaves more than his sex-laced advances on the table. He’s way too tempting and doesn’t seem to think it matters that my soon-to-be ex-husband is his boss.

All I really want is a no-strings-attached fling. The opportunity comes when I receive an anonymous invite to the Hotel Beaudelaire’s exclusive Den of Sin Winterball. But every sin has a price…

Melt Into Me By Renee Luke

Lawyer Taya Monroe’s coworkers believe she’s an ice princess, but in truth, she’s burning up inside and craving a man too dangerous to court. When a client slips her an invitation to the Den of Sin’s exclusive Winterball Masquerade, she decides to take a chance. She can experience all her sexual fantasies behind the anonymity of a mask, and she knows exactly whom she wants the matchmaker to set her up with: fellow attorney Aiden Cole.

Aiden believes in working hard and playing harder, and commits to everything in his life with passion. However, although he’s had his fair share of lovers, he’s no player. His encounters are sins of the flesh—never the heart. His heart is already claimed. When he’s invited to the masquerade to meet with a secret guest, he accepts…and pegs the masked mystery woman as his untouchable ice princess the moment he sees her move.

At the Den, anything goes, and Aiden’s ready to give Taya his body in addition to his heart. But will she survive the heat of their encounter when he makes her hard-won icy walls come melting down?

Unbidden Desires by Melissa Blue

When your greatest enemy becomes your best lover…

Zora Riley’s intentions were to discover the scandalous story her rival dug up on The Beaudelaire. If the whispers were true then a five-star hotel in New Orleans transformed into a Den of Sin. Just the name of one famous attendant could make the rest of her career, and if Alastair planned to report the story first then she had to be the one to scoop him. It was only fair since he’d been taking her stories for the last six months. But when a heated argument with Alastair turns into a toe-curling interlude, she’s shaken to her core.

Alastair Halliday left Great Britain to make a name for himself in America, but he didn’t come to the Den for a story. Working for years in a dog-eat-dog environment, with insane hours, has left him needing something a little less refined and ambitious…something that will feed his kink. The Den’s winter masquerade ball will allow him to be anyone, someone whose work won’t get in the way of something simple and primal. That is until he kisses Zora, his most tempting rival.

When the weekend is over and the masks come off, will they go back to being enemies or will they stay lovers?

Winterball by Holley Trent

The catcher calls the shots.

When teammates Barton Lock and Evan Boswell arrive separately at the Hotel Beaudelaire’s exclusive Den of Sin Winterball, neither expects the staff matchmaker to pair them with the other. Evan is minor league baseball’s biggest ladies’ man, and Bart has spent way too many nights bearing witness to Evan’s conquests.

Evan came to the Den to play, but knowing Bart is the other party in his secret weekend rendezvous changes the game. Evan’s used to Bart calling the shots on the field, and wouldn't mind so much if Bart did the same in his personal life, too. Unfortunately, Bart thinks Evan’s attempted seduction has more to do with changing his mind about retiring from their sport than hitting a relationship home run.

Excerpt:

In a flash, he jumped up from the floor and leapt at her. She yelped in surprise as he tackled her onto the bed.

“I’m just taking them off to sleep, you idiot,” she said laughing as he covered her face and neck in kisses.

“Mmmm.” He inhaled deeply, relishing her sweet scent. “You should know better than to bare your legs in front of me. You’ll never be left innocent when you do that.”

Chuckling, she looked up into his eyes ran a finger across his forehead, down his cheek then traced his lips. “You need to sleep.”

“I’ll sleep when I’m dead.” He moved downward and lifted her shirt with his teeth then kissed her belly. “I only have a lifetime to corrupt you.”

“Corrupt me?” She giggled and squirmed as he nipped her soft skin. “You make me sound like some kind of blessed virgin.”

He breathed against her belly, inhaling her scent, letting it fill his lungs and his memory. When he exhaled, it must’ve tickled her because she wriggled and tried to push him off.

“Stay still,” he ordered. When she did, he dragged his gaze up and down her body. Why was she still wearing clothes? The urge to be naked, feel her skin against his, was strong.

“God, you’re hot,” he mumbled, staring at her breasts.

Frowning, she covered them with her arms.

He tsked. “None of that.” Girls were so self-conscious of their bodies. He’d never understand it. It was their natural god-given curves, soft skin, and girly scent that men loved. Every imperfection – stretch mark, mole, wrinkle – just added to the humanness, gave women character. The guys he knew didn’t want a boring Barbie doll.

Emerson was real, and beautiful, and her tiny body felt perfect under his. He leaned down and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and held on, clasping her hands together like she never wanted to let go.

Leia Shaw is the bestselling author of the paranormal romance series, Shadows of Destiny. Thinking up fae politics, plotting dragon power games, and calculating how fast werewolves can change forms has given her a way to express those dark places in her mind. More recently, she's branched out into the erotic world and has co-written several humorous but heartwarming contemporary BDSM romances, 31 Flavors and the Badass Brats series.

Leia lives in New England with her husband and two kids. Though she will go to her grave denying it, her husband insists she would be thrilled if he suddenly sprouted fangs.

Unlike his brothers, Clayton Mathis isn’t looking for the woman of his dreams. He works hard, plays harder, and enjoys every minute of it. And with his family preparing to expand Shadow Maverick Ranch, settling down is the last thing on his mind—until a sexy blonde makes him an offer he can’t refuse. 

Of all the men in the bar, Ainsley Russell has to go and proposition the one man who will cause her nothing but trouble. The Mathis family has been persistent in their bid to buy her property. Inheriting her uncle’s ranch has given her the first home she’s ever known … along with a mountain of debt that threatens to take it all away.  

After learning Clay’s identity, Ainsley can’t run fast enough. Or far enough … since the gorgeous cowboy shows up on her doorstep the next morning, looking to pick up where they left off the night before…

Excerpt:

Ainsley sucked in a sharp breath as he reached the underside of her breast. “You want kids?”

“Let’s get you out of this, baby. I want to touch you.”

He tugged her shirt over her head. Her bra quickly followed. With subtle pressure between her breasts, Clay coaxed her back against the arm of the couch. 

“Mmm, much better.” He picked up where he’d left off, tracing the curve of her breast and driving her crazy. “To answer your question, I’m not in any hurry to have a bunch of chicklet’s biting at my ankles, but someday … sure. Wouldn’t mind it a bit.”

He latched onto a nipple, the warmth of his mouth shooting sparks from her chest to her core. Ainsley forgot about kids, the ranch, her future. She forgot everything except the feel of his lips as he alternated sucking and nipping the sensitive peak.

“I love the little noises you make when I put my mouth on you.” His palm traveled down the center of her body. Within seconds, her jeans were loose and he slid inside. “Ah, another thing I love,” he murmured as a thick finger trailed her seam. “How responsive you are to my touch. All warm, wet, and ready for me, aren’t you, baby?”

Her stomach did a roller coaster flip-flop. His fingers prodded deeper, found her entrance. He turned his attention back to her breast. Ainsley cried out when his lips surrounded her. He drew her nipple into his mouth as his finger penetrated her.

Her back arched and her backside pressed harder against his lap. Lord, he was hard. She moved again, unable to stop as his expert fingers worked in tandem with his wicked mouth. 

“Jesus. Clay.”

He captured her nipple between his teeth and added pressure to her clit, sending her into a spiral as the need to come forced her hips to buck.

He groaned. “I’m dying for you to ride my cock like you’re riding my fingers.”

Ainsley grabbed his forearm and tugged him from her pants. 

“What—”

More. She needed more. She rolled from his lap, her knees barely hitting the carpet before she worked her pants off.

“If you want me on your cock, you’d better get a move on, buddy.” She stood, naked and anxious to climb back onto his lap.

A wide and wicked grin accompanied a muttered hell yeah as he dug a foil square from his pocket, lifted his hips, and shoved his jeans to his knees.

She snatched the condom from his fingers. “I’ll do that.” 

“Well, come on then.” He reached for her.

Ainsley climbed on, her knees spread wide as she sank down on his thighs. She reached between them and grasped his cock. God, she loved the feel of him. Silky flesh. Hard as steel. Hot as the Texas sun. 

She squeezed him like he’d shown her, holding tighter than she’d dare if left to her own devices. One pump of her hand and his cockhead flushed red, fluid seeping from the tip.

A breath hissed from his lips. “God, Ains. The way you touch me…” 

Ainsley captured the moisture on his crown and brought it to her mouth. The fire in his eyes turned to a blazing inferno as she painted her lips with his arousal, then slowly licked them clean.

“I know the feeling.”

His chest rumbled. “I’m about five seconds from sinking inside you. Get that thing on before I do something stupid and take you without it.”

Her pussy clenched at the thought of taking him bare, his release filling her. She was clean and protected, but now wasn’t the time to have that conversation.

Clay held still while she sheathed him, but the second her fingers met the base of his cock, he took control. 

“Grab hold of my shoulders. You’ve got me too wound up to make this a slow and steady ride, darlin’.”

Ainsley rose up. Her legs trembled as he coated himself with her juices. The moment he nudged her entrance, she dropped, taking him to the hilt.

Whispered curses mixed with groans of pleasure. He stretched her, filled her to perfection. 

Clay dropped his head between her breasts, his hands smoothing over her hips to grip the cheeks of her ass. “You move an inch and I’m gonna blow.” 

She fisted his hair, forcing his head up. “Race ya to the finish.”

His fingers dug into her ass. She’d have bruises tomorrow. 

“You first.” His voice was tortured, hoarse with the same need that coursed through her.

She didn’t wait for further instruction. She tightened her inner muscles and rocked her hips. The thick patch of hair at his groin teased her swollen clit, urging her to move faster.

Sweat thickened the air and the sweet scent of sex filled her nose. Her lungs burned, her body sizzled with the telltale sign of her orgasm.

She found his mouth, pressed a breathy kiss against his lips as stars exploded behind her eyelids. Her cry filled her ears, followed by a grunt from Clay as he twitched, and pumped his release into the condom. 

Ainsley collapsed against his chest, his T-shirt absorbing the sweat on her face. He hadn’t even completely undressed. She’d fucked her cowboy with his boots still on.

A giggle escaped her lips. 

Good lord. She never giggled. Ever.

So much for your life not changing.

Cradled in the warmth of Clay’s arms, she couldn’t find a single reason to be upset about it either.

Excerpt:
He laid her down roughly on the couch and she waited, watching as he stepped quickly out of his trunks to reveal the beauty of his hard cock. It was thick and long, a light golden color, the swollen head a bit darker. She wanted to wrap her hand around it. Her lips. Her pussy.
He kept his gaze on hers, two points of darkly burning green, as he tore open a small gold packet and sheathed himself.
“Where did you get that?”
“Shh. And open for me.”
She did as he asked, loving the command in his voice and the feel of his big body as he slid between her thighs. He kept his gaze on hers as he reached between them and brushed his fingers over her wet pussy.
She licked her lips.
“Oh, yes. You know that makes me crazy,” he murmured. “That wet little tongue of yours on your gorgeous lips. But these lips are wet and gorgeous, too,” he said, stroking her.
“Mmm… Oh…”
“I am going to fuck you, Miranda. Even saying the words makes me harder. Seeing you lying here under me. I am so damn hard for you I can barely stand it. But I’m going to torture you a bit first.”
She squirmed, tried to close her eyes, but he caught her chin in his hand. “You will look at me,” he commanded. “You will watch me while I play with you. Tell me you understand.”
She groaned. “Oh God Roan. Yes. I understand. Sir. Fuck.”
He chuckled, let her chin go and went back to teasing her pussy lips with his clever fingertips.
“Do you like it when I touch you like this?”
“Yes, Roan.”
She was dying. With pleasure. With unmet need. Her pulse was racing.
“Do you like it when I press into you, beauty? Into your beautiful, hot pussy?” He slid his fingers into her, pulled out, pushed deeper. Pleasure shivered through her sex, through her body.
“Ah….God, yes, Roan.”
He leaned in and brushed her lips with his. She tilted her chin, wanting to be kissed, but he moved away, flicked his tongue over her mouth. Waited, then did it again. Then again. She began to squirm.
“Still, Miranda,” he whispered against her lips. “Hold still and take it.”
“I can’t!”
“I’ll help you.”
He leaned in and kissed her then, his soft, warm mouth on hers, his tongue opening her up as his fingers did. Her body was filling up with pleasure: his tongue, his hand, the breadth of his big body spreading her open wide. And the scent of him filling up her head.
She was shaking with the effort to hold still as pleasure spiraled inside her, crested, held her at that keen edge.
He stopped.
“No, Roan.”
“Oh, yes.”

Blurb:
A reluctant psychic who can relive the past, a man well versed in keeping secrets, and a psychopathic killer enter a deadly game where the past determines the future.

Changing the past is an impossibility ex-Marine, Cynthia “Cyn” Arden, understands all too well. Struggling in the aftermath of a botched mission, which cost her two teammates, her military career, and a fledging relationship, she’s brought home by a panicked phone call.  The psychic killer behind her nightmares has escaped military custody to hunt down the remaining teammates, one by one. Next on his murderous list--Cyn. Her only chance at survival is to master the psychic ability she’s spent years denying.

The killer’s game brings her face to face with the one person guaranteed to throw her off kilter—the unsettling and distracting man she left behind, Kayden Shaw.  Once she believed he’d stand by her side, until he chose his job and his secrets over her.  A choice that’s left the scars of the past etched deep on her mind and heart.

Excerpt:
“Tag,” his name came out as a warning of my waning patience. My fingers tightened around the phone, and it took an amazing amount of will power to not share my own colorful vocabulary. “You need to tell me what’s going on. Right. Now.” The last two words emerged around gritted teeth.

“It’s about Flash. His killer is out.” His unexpected answer stabbed deep, drawing blood under my skin. Brutal memories boiled up and I almost missed his, “Stay with Kayden, Cyn.”

The drone of a dial tone filled my ear.  My world spun. I concentrated on setting the phone back in the cradle. My legs were doing a great impression of spaghetti noodles, so I let them fold under me and sat on the cool tile. Six months, I’d run as hard, as fast and as far as I could, but in a matter of minutes I was right back where I started, trapped in a never-ending nightmare.

You have to wonder which fickle fate decided to dump everything on me at once.  If I ever got my hands on her, I’d beat her to a pulp. Damn, damn, and triple damn! 

The past surged, breaking through to rise in a swamping wave of ghostly screams and the stench of burnt flesh. I dug my fingers deep into my thigh muscles in a desperate attempt to stave it off.  No such luck. Greedy memories sucked me down.

My kitchen disappeared, replaced by a fetid alley behind a dive in Where-the-fuckistan. Sprawled on the ground, my head spinning with dizzying sickness and my leg screaming with agony, all I could do was watch and listen.  Watch the spreading pool of blood and brains seep from Ortega, his sightless eyes staring past me.  Listen to the snap and crackle of a raging fire hissed through the night while the smell of burning flesh wrapped around me. Behind me, someone screamed, his wail high-pitched and full of hopeless agony.

 I knew that broken voice. 

Even as excruciating pain beat inside my skull, I turned my head, recognizing the figure in the midst of the hellish scene. Searing loss, rage, and fear rose to a scream. My mouth opened and the stench coiled down my throat, blocking the air in my chest. No, no, no! 

The shocking feel of hands against my face snapped my paralysis, bringing a touch of the present into the past. Desperate to escape, ignoring the pain radiating down my leg and through my head. I struck out, my hand connecting with flesh. “Don’t touch me!” 

Harsh breathing filled the air around me.  It took a few seconds to realize it was coming from me.  A few more before the low soothing voice penetrated the layers of the past.  “Come on back, Cyn. You’re safe.”

Jami Gray is the award winning, multi-published author of the Urban Fantasy series, The Kyn Kronicles, and the Paranormal Romantic Suspense series, PSY-IV Teams.  Her latest release, SHADOW’S MOON (5/14) was a Golden Claddaugh Finalist, and the first in her newest series, HUNTED BY THE PAST, hits shelves in July 2014. She is surrounded by Star Wars obsessed males and a male lab, who masquerades as a floor rug as she plays with the voices in her head.
