Not Looking For Love: Episode 1

Genre: New Adult Romance, Sexy romance

Length: 190 pages

A no-strings fling is what she wants…but is that what she needs?

At 22, Gail’s losing her mom to cancer…with only a week to live. Every second of every minute, Gail hopes the doctors are wrong. Then she loses the bracelet her mother gave her. On the edge, she jumps into the pool to find it. Something grabs her waist and flips her over in the water. It’s Scott, the neighbors’ gardener, trying to save her.

The sight of Scott’s wet t-shirt plastered against the rippling muscles of his shoulders and chest gets Gail fantasizing about this Adonis. It’s easier to get lost in a fantasy of raw passion than hope for anything at all.

With more regrets than he can ever hope to live with…Scott’s trying to get his life together. The last thing he needs is a crazy rich girl who keeps throwing herself at him. But he knows something’s wrong from the sad, lost look in her beautiful eyes.

Is this relationship finished before it ever truly begins? Or in their darkest moment… can Gail and Scott give each other hope?

Running away is usually not the answer. 

Gail is back at school, and all she wants to do is spend her days studying and not thinking about anything else. But things keep piling up until running away and burying her problems is no longer a viable option. Will Gail realize she needs to confront her feelings head on, or never be whole again?

Secrets have a way of messing everything up.

Very little made sense in Gail’s life before, and now nothing does. She’s not even sure how to begin picking up the pieces of her life, let alone start putting them back together. But perhaps things just need to get worse before they get better, right? Or wrong.

**

The time to choose has come.

Happy endings happen all the time, they just don't always last.

Gail and Scott have managed to come out of their whirlwind romance relatively unscathed. But the real challenge might well prove to be the day to day one. Can they truly build something lasting on a foundation of lies, break ups and worse? Can they have a happy ending for real?

Cover Reveal ~ Parker's Proceedings by Genevieve Scholl

Parker’s Proceedings
By: Genevieve Scholl
Cover Reveal June 1^st
Release Day August 23^rd

Ashlee Rosenthal just hit the big 4-0, and life is as boring as watching paint dry. She’s a lawyer, which she loves, her son is grown and moved out, she hasn’t seen a movie in the cinemas in almost a decade, and her friendships are limited to a best friend half way across the country, a quirky assistant who talks faster than a freight train, and a chinchilla who thinks the countertops in her kitchen are its own personal bedroom.

Just as she’s contemplating doing something drastic and crazy in able to get some excitement in her life, Parker Bensley, a 20-something professional basketball player, walks into her office to file for divorce from his wife, and Ashlee’s libido is standing up and taking notice for the first time in forever. But he’s her client, and it would be considered a conflict of interest for her to feel anything toward him. So she shuts down her sexy thoughts and focuses on the case.

Until Parker makes the first move, and everything she had done to ensure she never compromised the case is thrown out the window. Ashlee knows it’s all kinds of wrong, but, damn, does it feel oh-so-good.

About the Author

I'm just a small town girl with a heart for the country life. I'm very shy and pretty much a loner, but my writing helps me be more outgoing and talk to various people that I would otherwise have a hard time approaching. I don't write for the money or the fame, but rather to tell a story that needs to be told; whether that is my story or a character's story. As a lot of people know, from my various interviews, I started writing to express my anger and hurt over the bullying that I experienced in High School, but eventually I just realized that I loved to tell stories. I was born in Texas, grew up and still live in Upstate New York, and want to retire in Ireland.

Blurb:

Something is terribly wrong. I can feel it. My stomach is restricting, contracting. “Oh God.” My hands clutch my stomach. Excruciating pain progresses from my lower abdomen.

“Clove.” That grating voice reaches my ears from across the room.

“Stay the hell away from me.” His bare feet appear in my line of vision. His jean clad legs bend landing him on his hands and knees in front of me. “Please,” My voice wobbly. I’m petrified. I don’t know what’s happening or why. An unsettling feeling begins to well inside of me, clamping my eyes shut as another agonizing pain jolts. Only this time the pressure is so intense, so unbearable, making my body shake, beads of sweat instantaneously emerge on my forehead. “Trent.” Someone is calling his name, it’s not me though as my ability to speak is gone. My hearing is not.

There is nothing in this world that could make me not recognize the sound of that southern accent calling out Trent’s name. My heart pounding at an increasingly rapid pace. A dozen needles stabbing profusely over and over again.

My forehead crinkles in confusion, lifting it slowly, the click clack of her heels on the hardwood floor, louder the closer they approach. Heels as bright red as the blood beginning to pool underneath my body, those shoes are demanding the right to be heard as she squats down next to Trent. “W…what are you doing here?” My trembling sound waves ricochet throughout the room.

“You don’t look so well Clove, my dear.” 

Her sound sugary sweet. She’s watching me so intensely. I don’t know how or why it hits me, but it does. When her head tilts to the side, her snide smirk graces her face. 

“Y…you,” I say through a clenched breath. The last thing I remember before I fall on my side, crying, pleading, begging god to save my baby is the sound of her malicious laugh.

Devastated by Monica May

Description 

Living the American Dream Shelby had everything she could have dreamed of. A handsome husband two wonderful children a beautiful home and a great job. What else could she ask for? 

In an instant her world is turned upside down when she innocently looks at her husband’s phone. With this Devastating discovery Shelby has to decide if she will walk away from twenty years of marriage or will she find a way to fit into Grant’s erotic world? 

Will she walk on the wild side she never knew she had? How far will she go? If she crosses the line will she be able to live with herself when the sun comes up? Or will she let her over conservative personality end her marriage?

Short Excerpt:

At some point, I need to bring myself to drive home. I'm completely devastated! He says he did not cheat on me, but it most certainly feels like it. I have sat on the bank of the river for hours watching boats go by in the still of the night

Long Excerpt: 

We are interrupted by the noise of our dinner plates placed on the table. The food smells delicious. His words have distracted me a bit from my original plan. I let Grant get halfway through his meal before my hand slides up his thigh to caress his soft penis. I really should have waited until he was done chewing! I thought I was going to have to do the Heimlich maneuver on him. Now, the entire restaurant is watching and making sure he is still breathing. So much for sexy stroking under the table. We are both laughing hysterically now. After we calm down, we both start eating again, and I slide my hand back up his thigh. He’s not so surprised this time, and he opens his legs a bit to give me better access. My hand slides up his jeans and over his bulge; I can feel his hardness now! I start to rub up and down his length with my left hand while I casually eat with my right.

It’s difficult to carry a normal conversation, but we manage. The waiter comes back to collect our dishes. "Would you all like dessert?" Under the table, Grant puts his large hand over mine to still my motions; he is close to coming in his pants. I don’t typically order dessert, and I know Grant is ready to get out of here, but he has not felt the real surprise yet.

"I will have crème brûlée, and my husband would love some bread pudding.”  When the waiter walks away, I don’t say a word to Grant. I simply lift my leg across his lap and direct his hand up my thigh.

It doesn’t take him long to figure out what I want. His eyes give me a questioning look to make sure. I lean over and whisper in his ear, “I want you to fuck me with your fingers right here and make me come with all these people sitting in this restaurant."

“Oh, Shelby, that’s so hot; you are so fucking sexy I may come in my pants.”

I whisper to him, “That’s okay with me.”

I feel his hand at my knee sliding over my suede boots. He gently rubs and massages all the way up to my inner thigh. The waiter approaches our table again to ask if we would like more wine, which I graciously accept for myself. Grant has to drive back home, so he will have to make do with only dessert. He decides to test my limits as the waiter is pouring my wine. he slides his fingers right into my slit, expecting to find panties. I could tell by the look on his face that he was the one surprised. I give him a quick grin as I thank the waiter. The waiter is almost done picking up our dinner plates when Grant’s fingers slide out of me, then up and down my wet lips to my clit.

As soon as the waiter walks away, he leans over to me and says, “You are so wet for me. How am I going to stop myself from fucking you on this table?”

AUTHOR INTERVIEW

          1. When did you decide to become a writer?

          The summer of 2013

2. Where do the your ideas come from?

I really don’t know they just form in my brain while driving.  I have a 45 minute ride to work and back and that’s when my imagination runs wild.  It’s the only time I don’t have the phone, emails, kids, a husband or a boss in my ear

3. What is the hardest thing about writing?

Marketing is the hardest part of writing.  The writing flows faster than my fingers can type but getting the book and your name out there for everyone to read and know is so much more difficult than I could have ever imagined.

4.  Do you read much and if so who are your favorite authors?  Yes I love to read now.  About a year before I started to write I was introduced to smut via 50 shades of grey and I could not stop there I kept reading and then decided “Hey I can do this?  Hell I have been doing in my head for ever.”  

My favorite authors are Kristen Ashley, Deborah Bladon, Meg Silver, and Joanna Wylde just to name a few.

5.  What is your motivation for writing?\

Putting my minds work down onto paper for others to read.

6. What is the best experience you have had so far as an author? 

Meeting all my fans and seeing that there really are GOOD people left in the world.  So many people have offered to help me simply because they like my work that is truly amazing.

7. Are you planning on attending any book signings? 

At the moment I’m not attending any signings due to cost but I hope to one day sell enough books to make it to one.

8. What are you currently working on and when can we expect it? 

I am currently working on getting my second book Hidden onto Amazon.  The book is completely written but still in the editing phase.  I hope to have it out by August 1^st if not sooner.

9.  If you could give advice to someone who is thinking of writing, what would that be? 

Just put the pen to paper and do it.  Read all the information about self publishing and just go for it.

10.  Where do you see yourself in five years? 

I hope to have at least one best seller by then. 

CURRENT WIP

Hidden to be released this summer!
