“A
fleeting weakness, a tenuous moment wrought of pain and remorse that I
wanted burned into my skin, never to forget. Yet, when she touched me,
it all vanished... like an evanescent ink.”
Drew
Massey’s life is suddenly turned upside down. On the heels of a
crippling breakup, he is determined to learn his lesson. Never trust.
Never love. Never open up to that kind of pain again. In the midst of
creating a permanent reminder of his vow, he is interrupted by the one
person who has the power to heal his heart.
At
first glance, Raven Pelletier exudes confidence and independence. She’s
tough as nails and willing to help Drew put his demons to rest by
offering him a delicious distraction with a no-strings-attached physical
release of the persistent bitterness that remains.
Yet
somehow, the need for her seeps through. The taste of her lingers.
Everything about her teases and tempts him to go a little farther and
get a little deeper. It drives his passion until he realizes the very
thing that alleviates the ache may actually shred his soul in the end
It
was supposed to be easy. It was supposed to be temporary. It was never
supposed to mean a thing… but the freedom from pain is so intoxicating,
how can he ever let her go?
Post Breakup Sex
*** Mature Content; Strong Language; Sexual Content with m/f, m/f/m, and a taste of f/f/m***
"She
was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. Pure class. Old money. I
never stood a chance... until she broke up with her dickhead of a
boyfriend and went off the rails."
Brannon
Forrester doesn't expect much from life. He coasts through aimlessly.
No real ties. Nothing to hold him back. Hanging out with his best
friend, lead singer of a local bar band, he lives for pleasure, out of
the spotlight but with all the excess of the band's small-town fame.
After all, why should he be good when the only woman he really wants
will never give him the time of day?
Then,
one night at an after party, Sophie Buchanan walks through the door. In
an attempt to throw caution to the wind and dream out loud, she looks
to him as a guide to the wild side. As someone who can show her all the
excitement and recklessness her world has been missing. He plunges her
into a reality of fervent passion... and heartbreaking betrayal.
Their
roles have been set. He has only ever been a good time. She has only
ever been a pretty face. It would be insane for them to fall in love.
But when emotion complicates lust, can the caution of the mind suppress
the will of the heart?

Wild Irish Envy
*** Mature Content; Strong Language; Sexual Content with m/f, m/f/m, and exhibitionism/voyeurism***
“She
is the forbidden fruit. The one girl I want and the one I can never
have. Never mind that I saw her first. That I met her first. That I
wanted her first.”
Denny
Byrne is Dublin-born, but found his life and his music in the Rocky
Mountains. He arrived in Montana on a student visa where he met the rest
of his band, the Bangin' Mofos... and where he met Felicity Williams.
She
was so very tempting, but just young enough to be untouchable. Their
brief encounter tortured him for months, only to leave him bereft when a
friend swooped in to claim her. But a traitorous envy consumed him. A
hunger that never faded. An overwhelming ache that caused Denny to pull
away just when his friend needed him the most.
After four years of denial, 'Fliss'
is once again before him. In a moment of weakness, she relies on him in
a way he’s always coveted, but never expected. Hardened by tragedy and
wary of his assistance, she forces his hand, causing Denny's control to
slip.
Contrition
and conscience have kept them apart for far too long. But when a simple
agreement is eclipsed by an undeniable yearning, can he let go of the
past and finally seize what has always really been his to take?
Easy Little Lick
*** Mature Content; Strong Language; Strong Sexual Content***
“Life
is like an easy little lick, a signature flourish of my drumsticks to
make a song my own. Something I can do in my sleep. Effortless and
smooth. No drama... until I met her.”
Cody Driscoll cruises through life with a constant, steady beat. Mechanic by day, he’s the drummer for the Bangin’ Mofos at the Copperline Bar by night. Tearing it up on the drums provides an outlet, a release that soothes the stress of the world around him.
But when the withdrawn and reticent Ilsa starts working at the Copperline,
Cody catches a glimpse of something nobody else seems to see - a
beautiful, tenuous heart. Someone to shelter and shield. Her loneliness
strikes a chord that resonates through his soul, no matter how much she
tries to push him away.
As
her past comes to light, the promise of their love unravels. Cody
realizes the extent of her tangled and tumultuous fear. Her secrets test
his conscience, and he stumbles, unsure how to make sense of his
stubborn honor in a world that isn’t always black and white.
The
pulse of life can shift in the blink of an eye, and ugly fallout can
bring a man to his knees. But can the lies that break him make him
stronger?
Sibylla
Matilde grew up in the mountain valleys of Southwest Montana exploring
the dusty Old West gold country on the back of a horse. She attended a
two-room schoolhouse beginning in 1st grade & had the same teacher
until she changed schools after 7th. Beginning at about age 12, Sibylla
discovered historical romance, feeding off of work of Jude Deveraux
& Lisa Kleypas.
She loves a book that can make the reader run the gamut of emotions,
from the sweet glow of new love to gut-wrenching heartache. She is a
true romantic & always has stories floating around in her head,
living in a fantasyland until she writes them down to free them.
Music is her emotional trigger. Growing up with a Wagnarian-loving
mother, Sibylla was raised to treasure music that digs deep into the
psyche, drawing out elation, sorrow, grief, desire. The soundtrack to
her life includes many genres spanning centuries. She looooooooves Thirty Seconds to Mars (rather obsessively, actually… but, really, how can you NOT be crazy about this guy!? Jared Leto. Shhh. )
& pimps them out to all her friends through Spotify. She also
delights in Met Opera HD broadcasts at her local movie theater &
hopes (listening Met?) to someday see Diana Damrau reprise her role as Mozart’s Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte.
Sibylla lives with her husband and hero who saved her from her own
calamitous, young-adult self. He makes her laugh daily, even when things
are tough. He’s proved to her that love really can heal a shattered
soul. In 18 years, they have never had a fight, although argue regularly
with their two teenage kids who have, unfortunately, inherited their
father’s quick wit (unfortunate as it is a quick wit that Sibylla,
herself, definitely does not possess – there is a reason she is a writer
& not a stand-up comedian). They live a quiet life with their two
weird little rescued Chiweenies. Wait… teenagers & little yap-dogs?
OK, maybe not so quiet.
