I'm getting Destroyed...

Destroyed by Pepper Winters is LIVE. 

Synopsis:
I’m complicated. Not broken or ruined or running from a past I can’t face. Just complicated.

I thought my life couldn’t get any more tangled in deceit and confusion. But I hadn’t met him. I hadn't realized how far I could fall or what I'd do to get free.

He has a secret.

I’ve never pretended to be good or deserving. I chase who I want, do what I want, act how I want.

I didn’t have time to lust after a woman I had no right to lust after. I told myself to shut up and stay hidden. But then she tried to run. I’d tasted what she could offer me and damned if I would let her go.

One secret destroys them

Synopsis
Chris King never saw it coming…
In some ways, closing the book on my first love was the worst day
of life. I was gutted, and yet I was completely at peace with my
decision. I walked away knowing that I did what was best for her,
unsure if I could ever recover. Little did I know that one concert
would change the entire course of my life. There I stood, signing
autographs and snapping pictures with fans when a familiar face
in the crowd catapulted my mind back in time—Salem Honeycutt,
once a balm to my pain and a calm in my storm. Yet again, her
smiling face gave me hope. Only one question remained: did she
still see me as a wayward teenage boy who was completely off
limits, or could she see the man I'd become…focused and driven,
yearning for another chance at love?
For Salem Honeycutt, postpartum bliss seemed like a lie...
No one told me that I’d hate my baby when I brought her home
from the hospital. No one told me that I’d want to put a pillow
over my husband’s head and smother him in his sleep. No one told
me that I’d want to slap every person who gave me the ever-so-
cliché advice to ‘cherish every moment.’ No one told me that I’d
despise my life the minute I became a mother, but I did. Then I
met Chris King, the kid who made me want to pull myself up from
the dark recesses of my mind and face each day. This kid, whose
passion for life and talent for music, touched my soul deeper
than I could ever touch his. Chris gave me a reason to live. I was
once affectionately known as Mrs. H., Chris’s juvenile detention
counselor. This is our story.

About The Author
Melanie Dawn is a thinker, a dreamer, and a hopeless romantic.
When her head isn't in the clouds, she spends her time as a jack
of all trades to her family. Melanie resides in the hills of North
Carolina with her husband, her three children, and her cat. She
enjoys lazy summer afternoons cruising around the lake on the
pontoon boat with her family.
Melanie graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a BA in
Psychology and earned her MA in School Counseling from
Appalachian State University. She spent the first six years after
graduate school as a middle school counselor. Those were years
she deems as some of the best years of her life. That is, until she
had children of her own. The last seven years have been spent as
a stay-at-home mom. She has learned some tough life lessons,
like what the inner absorbent pellets of a diaper look like scattered
in the washing machine. She has also learned the strength of the
willpower of a two year old lacking a nap. Through it all, Melanie
has learned how to roll with the punches and appreciate the time
she has been able to spend at home with her children.
Now that her last child has started Kindergarten, Melanie is ready
to add a new chapter in her life. That chapter begins with her debut
novel—So Much It Hurts.

Excerpt
Popping the top off his own bottle, he leaned toward me, his voice gravelly, “I mean,
come on. I’m not gonna dance around it. You’re beautiful.”
I nearly choked on my beer, but quickly recovered, masking my freaking-the-hell-out
face with a subtle smile.
He continued, nervously glancing at the beer in his hand. I wondered if he was
praying to the gods of liquid courage like I was. “Salem, you’ve…you’ve always been
sexy as hell,” he stammered. “You had to know how hot all the guys at Fairbanks thought
you were, and you probably just chalked it up to some silly teenage fantasies.” His eyes
shot up to meet my gaze. “But I hope you know that you meant way more to me than
that.”

Cover Reveal & Giveaway - Mr. Beautiful by R.K. Lilley

This is one HOT series.  Check out the cover, excerpt and giveaway for Mr. Beautiful by R.K. Lilley.

From R.K. Lilley's blog: Mr. Beautiful will be a male point-of-view novel for the Up
in the Air series that tells the story of James, and Stephan, and their unwavering love of a
woman that would make the two men family.


Mr. Beautiful (Up in the Air #4)

WARNING: THIS TEASER CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE UP IN THE 
AIR SERIES

JAMES
I couldn’t sleep after the shooting.
Bianca slept like a baby, like she never had before, like every worry she’d ever had
had disappeared with the death of her father.
But not me. I was more restless than ever. A miracle had saved her, not me, and I
felt helpless because of it. That was not a feeling that fit me well. In fact, it made my
skin crawl in discomfort. In anger.

It had been months since the attack. She and Stephan were healed physically, and it
seemed, emotionally, but I felt the wounds as though they were fresh. What had almost
happened haunted me. I was a man that needed control, and I’d been shown, in the
starkest way possible, that I hadnone.


I sat scant feet away from our bed, watching Bianca sleep. She was nude, with not
so much as a sheet covering her. I’d seen to that. I watched her lithe form shift on the
bed, one long leg hitching up to give me a glimpse of the pink between her legs. </
div>
I felt like a fucking stalker. Truth be told, I was one, watching her for hours on end,
night after night.

I tensed when I realized she’d roused. It upset her that I couldn’t sleep, when she
deserved peace more than anyone.

She sat up, and I watched her heavy breasts swaying with the movement. “James.”
Her voice was the softest utterance.

“Love,” I answered, feeling the dark mood that had overtaken me lift in an instant.
Just having her eyes on me could do that.

She crawled across the bed toward me. She’d always had an uncanny ability to do
exactly the thing that would drive me the most wild, and she’d only gotten better at that
over time. She didn’t hide her body from me as she moved. In fact, she posed for me,
even the exposure of her body an act of submission. As though reading my thoughts, as
though even those were a command, she paused on the edge of the bed, parting her legs
to let me look my fill before she rose, approaching my chair.


I stood to meet her, my body drawn tight, my cock throbbing as though I hadn’t
come, buried inside of her, just hours before.

I was a statue as she leaned up to my ear, my brows drawing together in a question.
Her lips touched my ear as she spoke.
“Hurt me,” she whispered raggedly.
My eyes shut tight, my jaw went slack, and a shudder wracked my entire body. This
woman destroyed my self-control.
I’d avoided all of the rough stuff since she’d been injured, but God had I missed it.</
div>
“We don’t have to, Bianca. It’s not necess-“
She gripped my hair, pulling my face down to her injured cheek. She dug her jaw
into me so hard that I knew it must be hurting her badly.
“I need it,” she rasped into my ear. “I’ll never stop needing it. Please.”

I pulled back, and my hands trembled as I cupped her face in my hands, my eyes
searching hers desperately for what I wanted to see. Need. Yes. She needed this as
much as I did. Perhaps more so.
“Get on the bed,” I told her thickly.

R.K. Lilley lives in Colorado with her husband and their two beautiful sons.
She's had a lot of interesting jobs, from being a first class flight attendant, to being a
stablehand, but swears she never knew what hard work was until she had children. She's
been addicted to both reading and writing fiction since she can remember. She loves
to travel, read, hike, paint, game, watch anime, and make the most of every single day.
She is the author of the erotic romance novels In Flight, Mile High, Grounded, and the
novella, Lana.

BLURB:
Our lives shattered... Our hearts broken... Our souls torn to pieces...

He was my world, my whole life. My reason for breathing. I had a perfect marriage, a baby on the way, and I felt fulfilled—almost invincible.

Until the day life hit, leaving me broken, vulnerable, and alone.

She was my life. My ray of hope on the cloudiest day. With her, I thought I had the ultimate safety. A love that would never hurt or betray me. I gave her my heart, my body, and my soul.

Until she broke me, destroying every dream and illusion I had about life, love, and marriage.

In our grief, we made a mistake. A mistake I'm not sure we can come back from.

AUTHOR INFO:

A multi-tasker from birth—and now proudly able to add 'writer' to my resume—I'm a mother, wife and blogger. I love to read, write and drink copious amounts of iced coffee.
All three aforementioned addictions are detrimental to my sanity
I have a voracious appetite for dark, painful and twisted reads. I'm enamored with the concept of love and heart break. I believe life is a journey, a tale in its own for each of us. The road to happiness is sometimes paved with stones from hell, or glitters of satisfaction graced from the heavens above.
In my upcoming debut novel, 'Against All Odds,' I strive to make you feel. I believe any emotion—whether painful or happy—is good. To me, the key to living is to go through life feeling it’s ups and downs. Love is dark and it can be painful but, at the end of the day, it can save the most lost of souls and the most broken of hearts.

PROLOGUE:

I’m so cold. It’s the kind of cold that seeps into my bones and makes me feel as though

I’m going to die. My body trembles from the drugs and sheer terror coursing through my veins.

Why is this happening to me?

What did I do to deserve this?

Please, God! I can’t handle it.

I open my mouth to scream, to cry, to do something, but nothing comes out. I’m aware

of doctors and nurses surrounding me. They’ve placed Kayla on my chest. She’s still warm from

being pulled from my body, but she's not moving.

She’s lying there . . . lifeless.

I’m in a state of disbelief as tears slide down my face. My world shatters when I look at

my precious baby girl. She's everything I’ve always wanted, always dreamed of.

Slowly, I run my fingers over her delicate lips; they’re so soft and small. An instant

reminder of Cooper’s lips. He doesn’t have full and luscious lips like mine but small ones that

almost disappear when he smiles. As I run the tips of my fingers across her puffy cheeks and

closed eyes, I try to memorize every last detail of her dainty face. She’s so beautiful it takes my

breath away. Her hair reminds me of caramel; it’s light brown and silky to the touch. It looks

like mine did when I was a baby. Her face is peaceful, and for a single moment,
