SALE BLITZ: HIS Desire ( Sheila Kell )



How long would it take for him to turn into an ass again? She caught Jesse’s gaze and found herself momentarily mesmerized by his golden-brown eyes. What the hell?

HIS Desire (An H.I.S. novel) is a romantic suspense, stand-alone novel in the H.I.S. series releasing Nov 5th.

Can Jesse Hamilton, the head of H.I.S., protect his client when his past and his heart have put them both in jeopardy?

Synopsis

When FBI Special Agent Kate Ross is injured in a drive-by shooting, Hamilton Investigation and Security, Inc. (H.I.S.) leader Jesse Hamilton, believing she is the target of a killer seeking revenge against him, pulls the full force of H.I.S. into action to protect her.

Kate doesn’t believe Jesse, the only man to make her seethe one minute and lust after him the next, when he approaches her with a note from the Facilitator stating someone he loved would die shortly, and he knows in his gut it’s Kate. After a second attempt on her life, she can no longer fight his protection or her attraction to him.

After making a mistake that cost his wife her life, Jesse vowed to never love again, but Kate stirs something in him that puts his protective instincts into overdrive. Keeping her alive and out of his heart is more difficult than he expected. Then he makes a decision that could cost Kate her life. Is history due to repeat itself?

Author Interview: Amanda Lance

We would like to welcome Amanda Lance to the Holiday Event. We are excited to share her interview with you and let you get to know her a little better! Enjoy!

Holiday Interview

1. What is your favorite Holiday?
I’m always torn between Christmas and Halloween. Either way, I can watch The Nightmare Before Christmas justifiably.   ;)

2. Of all the holiday food, what is your favorite?
Um, all of them? But I can’t get enough of green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, cornbread, and pumpkin roll. Like I said: all of them. haha

3. What is your favorite fall read?
I like reading a lot of horror during the fall. It gets me in the right mind set for Halloween and holiday family get-togethers. Classics from Jack Ketchum, Hubert Selby, Jr and a decent bottle of wine help me from shooting off at my family and the trick or’ treators.

4. What is your favorite winter read?
Wuthering Heights


5. Do you like Christmas music? 
Yes and no.

6. How early do you start to decorate for the holidays?
Black Friday. It forces me to get out of bed.

7. Sexiest thing to wear this time of year...woman? man?
HAHA! I think it is ridiculously hot to see a guy in a peacoat and beanie.

8. What is your favorite holiday song?
The 12 Pains of Christmas

9. Have you been or are you ever inspired to write by the holidays?
Haha. In a way—the chaos/drama that happens at holiday parties/dinners always ends up getting recycled in my brain somehow.

10. What is your best holiday memory?
The Christmas I spent ALL day disappointed because I thought I didn’t get the bicycle I Santa for. But when I went to take the garbage in the garage, it was sitting there with a big red bow.

The Kiwi barbecue isn't the only thing sizzling this summer...

Book Spotlight:Don't Let Me Fall (Briana Pacheco)


Title: Don't Let Me Fall
Release Date: December 4, 2014
Genre: New Adult Romance
Blurb:
I don't want to be here.


When you lose the one person that was your whole life, you'll understand. For me, it was my best friend, Alice. We spent every second of every day together. We planned a life. I was actually living. I was happy.



Now, it's just gone.

And I'm still here. Lonely. A tatted up body with an empty soul.

Getting inside of my head won't be pretty. I'm warning you now that you won't like me. I hate people besides my family. I hate everything around me. I just want to be alone. And I HATE how Logan Mercer doesn't understand that. He's everywhere; getting inside of my head, kissing me when he shouldn't be, messing everything up, and trying to get me to open up. He's making me crazier than I already am. Why do I need to talk about my life? Why does he even care?

Why doesn't anyone understand that I don't want to get attached to people? I don't want to get fixed.

I want to be alone.

I want to be free.

I want to fly.

My name is Rebeckah Lennox and this is my story...of how I fell.

WARNING: Due to heavy subject matter, strong language, possible triggering descriptions of self-harm and some sexual situations this book is not recommended for anyone under the age of 17




About the author:
Briana Pacheco hates referring to herself in third person so let’s start off with I’m the author of the Enough Trilogy, Don’t Let Me Fall, and many more books to come in the future. I’m from Boston and a wannabe explorer so one day I’ll travel the world. So far, that’s only happening when I write but I’m not giving up just yet. I love coffee, music and books, and I have an obsession with tattoos and accents. Sadly, I have neither so I make my characters have them instead. I’m an avid reader and if I’m not writing, you’ll find me with a book (or Kindle) in my hands. I love hearing from readers about anything so please don’t be shy and stalk me. I love it!

Author Interview: Briana Pacheco


Welcome Briana Pacheco! She is here for her holiday interview to let us know a little bit more about her and her books! I hope you all enjoy!

1. What is your favorite Holiday?

A: Christmas! I wish I didn't have to pick just one but I love snow, hot chocolate, fuzzy socks, staying in reading and the Christmas decorations so that's kind of a no-brainer, right? :)

2. Of all the holiday food, what is your favorite?

A: Pumpkin Pie. 100%. I'd be fine eating that during the holidays instead of real food like turkey/chicken/ham.

3. What is your favorite fall read?

A: Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. I read that a few years ago and it has stuck with me since.

4. What is your favorite winter read?

A; The Hunger Games trilogy! Need I say more?!?!

5. Do you like Christmas music? 

A: I like it only in December!! If I hear it in November or January, I have to put headphones on and listen to my own playlists. I don't know why that happens but I've been that way since I was a kid.

6. How early do you start to decorate for the holidays?

A: Once Halloween is over, I start putting things up for Thanksgiving. The day after the chicken (I'm not a turkey person) is gone, the Christmas tree goes up!

7. Sexiest thing to wear this time of year...woman? man?

A: This answer may vary for different temperatures outside. ;)

8. What is your favorite holiday song?

A: Silent Night. The melody has always been calming to me.

9. Have you been or are you ever inspired to write by the holidays?

A: I have been! While writing The Enough Trilogy, I was 13, sitting at home, staring out at the snow on Christmas morning!! Ideas popped into my head seconds later so I wrote them down. Staring at the angel on the tree, gave me inspiration to make the trilogy have a paranormal feel also. So I thank Christmas for making me a writer!

10. What is your best holiday memory?

A: Easy! Refer to the previous question. My family thought I was having a mental breakdown that day because I wouldn't move from my spot, writing like a manic, shaking my head constantly at the voices waiting to be heard. It was a scary moment...for them.

 Usually not 'til December 1.

9. Have you been or are you ever inspired to write by the holidays?
 Not yet. I have too many stories to finish. Maybe next year.

10. What is you best holiday memory? 
My husband coming home after being deployed. The entire family (kids, parents, etc) were there for the dinner. I loved every minute even knowing he was leaving again in five days.


About A.C. Bextor
I love to read! I will read anything, literally. It may be a magazine, book, advertisement or even a cereal box. Specific authors that I follow have moved me to start writing. Before long that inspiration had produced a final product that I wasn’t even sure what I was going to do with. Obviously I hit publish and here I am.

Blessed with a great family that includes my husband, four kids, two dogs, and one hedgehog, I’ve lived in the Midwest all of my life. We currently live in a small town outside of Omaha, NE. My day job affords the ability to work from home and I’ve worked for the same lending company for nearly 19 years.

When I’m not reading, I try to be outside as much as possible even if it is just sitting on my deck with my reading device. I enjoy fishing, swimming, hockey games, and watching football with the family.
