Gage Hollister is a Southern Dom looking for a full time sub/slave. When his family's business brings him to New York City for an indefinite stay, he decides that now is the time to find her. Night after night he prowls the local BDSM club in search of a woman whose need to be dominated equals his thirst for true submission. As the search drags on he begins to wonder if his perfect match even exists. When he is asked to play chaperone for a family friend embarking on her first trip as an adult; he welcomes the chance for distraction from his thus far fruitless endeavor.

Zoe Marshall is the youngest sister to Gage's best friend and she has been in love with Gage for as long as she can remember. She has saved herself for him and him alone. Now, after careful planning and a bit of luck she finally has her opportunity to show Gage that she's all grown up and ready to be his. Although he believes himself too old and jaded for an innocent like her, Zoe will not relent until she belongs to him in every way.

Soon Gage's resistance crumbles and Zoe's dreams become reality but their budding love is tested when her brother discovers them. As those bonds of friendship strain under betrayal and broken trust, Zoe is confronted with having to choose between the man she loves and the brother she worships. Will having the love of her man cost her the love of her family? If so, is her heart strong enough to survive that loss? Is their love?

Warning:
This book contains graphic language, BDSM elements, M/F/M ménage, a Southern Dom who's a gentleman; and the woman who brings out the scoundrel in him.

Expected release: July 2013

"This Darlin', is a Texas dungeon." Gage stood just inside the enormous building and gestured with one arm while he kept Zoe tucked close under his other. He hadn't let her dress this morning. She'd woken up to breakfast in bed before he'd carried her right out here and she was quite content to stay plastered to his side for as long as he'd let her.

The place was all wooden and smelled of hay and leather. There was a loft that created a semi-circle around three quarters of the building with four wooden stairways for access from different areas. There were beams and crates and saddles in addition to all manner of things that up until a couple of weeks ago would not have caused her to think twice about them. She would have taken everything at face value and just assumed this was a very clean and beautiful, yet ordinary barn.

Now, she saw it with the eyes of a sub and every hook, box and rope had endless possibilities that caused her body to tingle in a combination of trepidation and eagerness. Looking at all the different equipment and devices caused images of herself and how she could be strapped on or against them at the hands of her master to flash through her mind.

"Kneel here," Gage's voice had that undertone to it that somehow made it impossible for her to deny. Her legs folded without thought. His hand stroked over her hair, "Legs spread. Wider. That's good. Now, arms behind your back; that's the way. Stay exactly like that." He walked away from her with his long stride and didn't look back when he added; "I'll just get some rope."

The Winemaker's Dinner: Dessert

(The Winemaker's Dinner, #3)

Cover Reveal

Left on bended knee, with nothing but a ring in his hand and a gaping hole in his chest, Ivan Rusilko lost everything when Jaden Thorne said, “I can’t.”

Now, six months later and despite her endless attempts to reach him, finding forgiveness for Jaden’s indiscretion is last on his list of things to do. Dr. Ivan is married to his career now, and his professional success is taking him places he’s never been before. But even the glow of accomplishment can’t heal his devastated heart. Determined to recover, to move forward at any cost, he now finds moments of respite in distractions that leave him emotionally bankrupt. He’s empty, a shadow of his former vibrant, life-loving self. On the outside, he may seem to be the man he always was. But inside, a terrible desire threatens to rip him apart and ruin him forever.

Meanwhile Jaden is haunted by the memory of the moment she saw the light wither and die in Ivan’s eyes. She knows it died at her hand. After months of trying to explain herself, of begging for mercy, she takes herself back to Miami, back into Ivan’s path, for one last chance at redemption. Can she entice him back into her arms? Convince him to give her a second chance? She’s determined to do whatever it takes to find forgiveness—even if all that’s left is forgiving herself.

In this final book of The Winemaker’s Feast Trilogy, The Winemaker’s Dinner: Dessert, author Dr. Ivan Rusilko is writing solo, drawing freely on his own life and love experiences to craft a heartbreaking and wildly erotic tale about lost hope, desperation, contrition, and—if it’s possible—the quest for a perfect ending to a real-life love story. True to its title, Dessert serves readers an indulgent, decadent last course, rich with twists, turns, and tantalizing truths.

Love is beautiful, guys like this really do exist, and the power of real romance is something we can all believe in.

Title: The Healers

Author: Lynsie Buchanan

Release Date: April 26th, 2013

Goodreads Link: 

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17370551-the-healers

During the reign of the Greek Gods, there was Asclepius, the God of Healing. Upon his death two groups battled, the Healers and the Hunters. Healers, those with true healing magic, scattered among the continents for safety from the Hunters. Now, in present day, the Healers are searching to find all of their blood line. The Hunters are searching, too.

Magic flows from Layna’s hands, but trusting anyone with her secret is not possible. Leo, her longtime friend, is determined to become more and Layna believes she wants that. Everything changes when she meets Alexander, the guard supposedly sent for her. There is something that draws them together, but is it real? Faced with a new reality of what her magic means and threats on her life, Layna must choose where her loyalties lie. Who is out to hurt her and who can she trust?

Five Reasons You Have to Read The Healers

1. Leo…”Yes. Of course. I would give you anything. Don’t you know that already?”
2. Alexander… Rough, man words in my ear, “Delicious.” He inhaled deeply. “Definitely lickable.”
3. Scyrus…“I’m pretty sure you’re good for a little hole in the wall west Texas bar.” A giant smile spread across her face. For some reason, I knew I was really going to like this girl.
4. Layna…bad ass healer…“You see this, Layna. I’m going to savor every part of you with it.” I seriously doubted that when it didn’t look bigger than my pinky finger at full staff.
5. It was hard and heavy in my hand. Excitement licked up and down my spine as I rubbed my fingers over. This was what I had been missing. The power of a girl and her gun.

Five Fun Facts About The Author

1. I was born on a Caribbean island…no wonder I’m late everywhere and I think drinking is an activity.
2. None of my close friends were surprised that I like to write sex scenes. I guess I must have some kinda smut sign on my forehead.
3. I was a first grade teacher before I started writing…it’s always the innocent ones:)
4. Sometimes…I walk around the kitchen in high heels while I’m cooking dinner. I really love to pretend I’m tall.
5. Having a clean mouth is a high priority to me. My college roommate used to tease me because I always came home for my toothbrush before shacking up.

What if a 'Once in a Lifetime' could happen twice?

Suffering from a past full of tragedy, Dahlia London's soul has been left completely shattered. Happily ever after is a far cry from reality in her world. But, when she is reconnected with her past, the bonds that form are irrefutable.

When River Wilde, lead singer of The Wilde Ones, comes back into Dahlia’s life, the intensity that fires their relationship combined with underlying feelings that have never died lead her to believe she has met her soul mate.

Struggling with confusion as old connections fade and new ones begin, Dahlia's grief begins to lift — but guilt remains. River wants to be the one to mend all that is torn within her.
With the past never really gone, can the future survive?

I live in Florida with my husband and four kids. I’ve always had a love for reading books and writing. In college I majored in English and wanted to teach at the college level, but that was not to be. I went on to get my MBA and became a project manager until quitting to raise my family. I currently work part-time with my husband and recently decided to embrace one of my biggest passions - writing.

I wear a lot of hats! Writer, book-lover, wife, soccer mom, taxi driver, and just the all around go-to person of the family. However, I always find time to read. One of my favorite family outing when my kids were little was to take them to the bookstore or the library. Today my oldest child is seventeen and no longer comes with me on these now rare and infrequent outings, but honestly I don’t need to go on them anymore because I have the greatest device ever invented, a kindle.

I believe in soulmates, kindred spirits, and Happily-Ever-Afters. I have many favorite things ranging from books – to movies – to words. I love to drink champagne and listen to music. I hope to always stay young at heart.

Connected is my debut novel and will be available at Amazon, B&N, iBooks, & Smashwords on March 22nd, 2013.

TEASER:

Brax and I decided to spend the day apart so that I could concentrate on a paper that’s due, because we struggle to get anything done when we’re together. After finally finishing the paper, I send him a text to see if he wants to come over tonight. 

Elle: Wanna come over tonight? I’m all finished now 

Brax: Of course darlin, I’ll grab some food and head over in about half an hour. 

Smiling at his immediate reply, I decide it’s time to tease him a bit. 

Elise: I’m sure you can think of ways to build up an appetite when you get here… 

Brax: Dammit woman, how am I supposed to concentrate now! 

Elise: As long as you’re focussed when you get here, I’m not worried ;) 

Now, I know I’m being brazen, but after the morning wake-up call Brax gave me a few days ago, I can’t wait to be with him again. 

I sent that text over an hour ago and now I’m getting nervous. I’ve been on edge all day anyway because I’ve decided that tonight is the night. I’m going to tell him about my past, all of it, warts and all. I don’t want to hide my darkness from him any longer, and although I don’t have nightmares when I’m with Brax, there are still a lot of those times. I want him to see my dark side, so I can be sure he is the one to show me the light. 

Another hour passes with no sign of Brax. I text him to check that he’s still coming over. After still not getting a reply from him, I realise it has now been over three hours since he said he’d be here. Now I’m really starting to worry. This is really unlike him, usually if he’s running late he’d let me know. 

I’m about to give up and head to bed when I hear a knock at the door followed by a loud thump against the wall outside. I rush over and look through the peep hole, but I can’t see anyone on the other side. I decide to open the door since I’m in a secure building, surely it can’t be too bad. 

I open the door, my high-pitched scream echoing through the night at what I see.

We, at the Book Avenue is really excited to be part of this cover reveal. I mean, just look at the cover and you'll definitely know the reason why. We also have a teaser for Moving Forward and some giveaways! Exciting!  Thanks to Erika Taylor for trusting us to host it. Make sure to put it in your TBR list and mark your calendar for the release on 23rd March 2013.

ABOUT the AUTHOR

Erika Taylor was born into the army lifestyle as an only child. Being the only child, she learned to keep herself entertained by unleashing her inner tomboy. Fishing, navigating through the woods and tree climbing were a few of her favorite escapes as a child along with her fast growing love of video games. While she is still a down home girl at heart, she grew to love music and left the wildness behind. She is a devoted lover of music and a closet groupie. Genre of choice is always rock but she has been known to kick it old school from time to time and jam to the 90s greatest hits. Her passion for music fueled her imagination and she has since found at age twenty-nine that she loves to read. While reading didn’t seem to interest her growing up you will almost always find her with her nose in a book nowadays. Erika is currently a native to Oklahoma where she lives with her husband and five small children that they have combined between the two of them. She admits to loving caramel frappe’s, getting her hair done, Ace Ventura When Nature Calls and candy of choice being Airheads. She blames The Hunger Games book series for her newly formed addiction to reading, which has since brought on her desire to write. She is currently working on her debut novel “Moving Forward” set to release March 23, 2013.

TEASER

*Jesika*

Let me start off by saying, I love my bestie Mallory all the time but sometimes… I really, really love her. She always knows how to pick my spirits up, or how to get me to do something I think is completely crazy, but is actually so needed. So, with that being said, the fact I haven’t seen Derek in four days sucks. No, scratch that, it completely blows.

    

Admitting that I actually have a crush on someone is still hard to admit to myself. It almost feels like I’m cheating on Jake. The fact that I’m thinking about seeing Derek more than thinking about how much I miss Jake is making me feel somewhat guilt ridden. Then again, I also know that it is something I need, I know I will never forget Jake…no matter who is in my life but that doesn’t make it any easier. I’m kinda confused by these sudden feelings I’m having for someone who is practically a stranger.

    

When I get home after being thoroughly disappointed again that there was no Derek at the school, I feel like I’m about to Hulk out. Maybe it’s the way he left me Friday night…a little worked up, hot and bothered, moisten between my legs…freaking feeling like a lioness in heat.

He’s a freaking tease. He did this to me on purpose.

    

I walk into my room and on my bed is a little purple with yellow polka dots gift bag with a card sticking out. I take the card out and it reads ‘Thinking of You in Your Time of Need’ on the front.

“Humph….” I say to no one in the room. I open the card and read it aloud. “Hey Jes! I know you’d never buy this for yourself, but trust me when I say, you need it! Seriously, I am your Best Friend. Love ya, Mal.”

    

I dump the bag over and pull the pink tissue paper away. “What the hell is that?” I say, again to no one. I pick it up and I swear I’m holding a bedazzled tampon holder. It’s small, fits in my hand and it’s slightly bigger than a lipstick holder. I go to open it and the damn thing starts buzzing and shaking in my hand. I drop it.

Holy shit!

    

Mallory bought me a battery operated toy. I start laughing thinking about our conversation after the concert. She was so right, I would never buy myself a battery operated toy or any kind of sex toy.

For the last year, sex has been the last thing on my mind. The fact that I’m now experiencing some signs of sexual tension makes me blush as the butterflies start to flap around because I know damn well who is responsible for these reincarnated feelings.

Teaser:

His smiled beamed so bright after I whispered those words and he crushed his mouth to mine, kissing me deeply as if his life depended on this one kiss. He wasted no time ridding me of my tank and pajama bottoms and began exploring my body first with his hands, and then with his mouth. Placing feather light kisses on my most sensitive areas.

I could feel his lip ring with every kiss that he placed. The cold metal against my heated skin was almost enough to send me over the edge. He kissed across my collar bone, then slowly down to the mounds of my breasts. I couldn’t stop the quiver that ran through my body as his tongue ran across one mound and dipped down between the two. He must have felt my shudder because he let out a throaty laugh and gently cupped my other breast in his hand ever so lightly massaging it with his palm and fingers. This man had magic hands, let me tell you.

I arched my back, pushing my chest deeper into his touch. He responded by settling his body between my thighs, pressing himself against me, just the pressure of having his hardness against me had me gripping and clawing at his back.

“Take off your underwear.” I said, and was shocked by the words that had just tumbled out of my mouth. I was usually not this outspoken, but when it came to Kane all bets were off, he made me feel brave and alive. He was slowly bringing out a side of me I didn’t know even existed.

He chuckled at my demand. “I will, just wait. There is time for that later. Right now there are a few parts of your body I have been dying to get my mouth on.” He looked up at me, his grey eyes full of lust and wanting.

I kept my eyes glued to his as he slowly rained kisses down between my breasts, then to my stomach where he used his tongue to draw a lazy heart around my belly button then lightly blew air across it.

My hips thrust up of their own accord and Kane hooked his finger around the string of my pink panties before leisurely pulling them down my legs. Once he had rid them from my ankles he raked his eyes up my body. Starting at my toes then slowly going up my legs, pausing a bit longer on my more intimate areas, before resting back on my eyes. I should feel a bit insecure being all exposed to him like this but I didn’t feel that at all. Seeing his desire for me actually made me feel empowered. Just knowing that I could make his breathing shaky and eyes gloss over the way they were, had my body humming all over.

“Every inch of you is perfect Kelsey.” He shook his head slightly as if trying to bring himself out of a daze. Lightly grasping my ankle in his big strong hand, he brought it to his mouth and placed soft kisses there and then up calf, murmuring sweet little words in between each kiss. When he finally made it to my thigh I felt him sink down onto the bed, lying flat on his stomach. Oh Lord. I didn’t know a lot about sex but I knew what this meant and my body automatically went ridged.

“Um Kane… I don’t know if you should….” I broke off, not knowing if I could actually come out and say the exact words.

“Kelsey…. just shut up.” He smiled up at me, before placing a feather light kiss high on my inner thigh, almost but not quite close enough to where I was throbbing.

Synopsis:

Kendall Schmitt was the typical girl next door until one fateful night when someone she thought she could trust took it all away leaving her with deep emotional scars.

Ten years later, at twenty-three, Kendall has forged a life where every facet is planned and scheduled. When everything is on her terms, nothing can go wrong.
