Mid Week Tease! Unexpected Destiny, Assassins and Sweethearts Series #RomanticSuspense

Posted on August 17, 2016 by S.J. Maylee

Happy Hump Day!

Big THANK YOU to Angelica Dawson for keeping us going each week.

❤

My next release will be here soon. In fact, I saw the mock up of my cover yesterday. So pretty. 😀

This will be the third book in my Assassins and Sweethearts Series and it tells Aidan’s story.

❤

I’ve backed up a bit in the story. Liz has run from Aidan. She might have had a good reason, but she has no idea about the evil chasing her.

Aidan has just discovered Liz’s whereabouts and is off to find her. Let’s hope he gets there in time.

Enjoy!

❤ ❤ ❤

It took longer than it should have to get down the few floors to his bike. It roared to life on his first try and off he flew. He weaved in and around traffic, wasting too much time keeping everyone else on the road safe. Liz’s life could be in jeopardy. Every minute it took him to get there was too many.

He pulled to the rear entrance to her building and got off his bike. Security measures appeared to be completely missing in the back which pissed him off and pleased him at the same time that there were no hindrances to keep him from her. Just inside the back door was the elevator.

On the ride up, he received a text from Sam. Two men, one with a rather long list of breaking and entering convictions, had entered her building. Aidan guessed at least one of them had torn through Liz’s place last night. So much for the good security she thought her building had. He shifted his weight back and forth and rolled his shoulders.

The second the elevator doors opened, he shot through them. He didn’t stop moving until he got to her front door. With eyes closed, he listened for movement inside. Nothing seemed to be coming from the front room. He’d only gotten a glimpse of it last night but he remembered seeing a piece of a mirror still hanging on the wall that reflected the next room.

He turned the still unlocked handle and pushed into the room. The broken mirror piece hung on the wall where he remembered and showed a dark figure moving about the kitchen.

Maneuvering across the room, into the kitchen, he grabbed a hanging pot on his way, and clocked the intruder across the head. The man fell hard, shaking the whole room. Shuffling from the bedroom had him turning around and blocking a blow from a second man. He took a ruthless jab to the ribs but returned with a shattering upper cut to the man’s jaw. When the man fell, a knife flew from his hand and skidded across the floor.

Aidan blew out a shaky breath. Knifes were often the great equalizer in fights. He had firsthand experience with the damage they could do. He swiped both men with the gel Sam had given him and prayed they woke and led them to some answers. Of course, if either of them had laid a hand on Liz, he’d end their ability to breathe.

Picking up the knife, he set out to find Liz. Each step added a brick to his already heavy chest.

He closed his eyes for a second and returned his thoughts to the mission. A clear head would get her out of this. The apartment needed to be analyzed. It held endless clues about what was really going on here but now was not the time to collect them. Enough was enough. Liz was leaving with him and staying by his side until this mess was over. He’d keep her safe whether she wanted his help or not. No more defense. He wanted back on offense.

Once inside her bedroom, he spotted a bag by her purse on her bed. She was getting ready to run from the evil chasing her. Pride lifted his spirits. He may not like her decision but it was smart.

“Elizabeth.” Be alive. My God, please, Liz. Be alive.

Book Description:

Elizabeth Martin thought she already had her happily ever after, that is until her husband mysteriously disappeared. Aidan Clery is a skilled assassin for hire who wants nothing more than to find the love of his life. Fate throws Liz in his path and everything is perfect, except Aidan just won the contract on her life.

The truth surrounding Liz’s estranged husband takes the pair on a dangerous journey. Nothing in their lives will ever be the same. Destiny may be unexpected but it will be up to Aidan and Liz to discover the truth and claim their real happily ever after.

Mid Week Tease -The Sex Kitten Heel Test- A snippet from Far From Blind #ComingSoon

Posted on October 7, 2015 by S.J. Maylee

Welcome to hump day my friends. Thank you to the amazing Sandra Bunino for bringing us together.

Today, I’m teasing from Far From Blind, Club Blind 2 which releases next Thursday. Woot!

In this tease, Candice’s crush visits her work place. She’s convinced herself that he’s not interested. Let’s see what happens when she tests him. 🙂 Enjoy!

“Hello, Candice.” The man was perfection, nothing out of place. She adored his easy non overdone smile.

“Hi, Brad.” She attempted to fluff her hair, hoping it hadn’t already turned into a fuzzy mess.

He stopped at the corner of the counter at the front of her desk. The man knew how to dress, from the dark charcoal suit, vest, crisp white shirt, and the silvery blue tie to match his magical eyes. He was gorgeous.

“I’ll let Ivy and Mr. Marsh know you’re here.” After entering a code on her phone that would alert her boss to their visitor, she tapped her toes. It had been a long time since she’d tested his interest. Maybe her new sex kitten heels would do the trick.

“Thank you. Seth and I have a meeting to attend.”

She got up and sauntered over to the sideboard, turned her sugar bowl, and then shifted just enough to catch his reflection in the mirror. Her gaze locked onto his. His focus was on her and her alone. Awareness woke her whole body, from the damp heat coating her pussy to the intense need to walk to him and show off any one of the positions Mistress Charlie had her practicing, but she didn’t move. She waited.

He put his hands in his pockets. “You must be very busy these days.”

“Yes, we have three parties this week.” She took a deep breath.

“I’m sorry to be bothering you. I’m sure you’d like to get your work done.” His gaze remained on her.

The door opened behind her and she squeezed her eyes shut. “Damn,” she whispered.

Blurb:

Candy Wilson has worked hard to build a life for herself from nothing to something she can be proud of but she can’t catch the eye of the one man who drives her wild with desire. Brad Chambers has everything, always has, except the woman he loves. When a pitch black blind date at the exclusive Club Blind matches the pair together, Candy refuses to believe what she sees and throws up her protective barrier. It’s up to Brad to tear down her walls and get her to see the man who wants only her.

Be Warned: spanking and light BDSM

#SatSpanks -He Wants A Taste- a snippet from Common Grounds in the #JustDesserts Collection #ComingSoon

Posted on June 20, 2015 by S.J. Maylee

Hello! Happy Saturday Spankings! 🙂 I’m taking a little break from my latest release to share with you a project I’m over the moon excited about. This Monday, I have a new story releasing in a collection of 22 hot NEW stories from bestselling, award-winning and multi-published authors. Just Desserts will only be available for a short time and for only .99! It includes my story Common Grounds which begins a whole new world for me. Tonight, we’re throwing a party on Facebook. I hope you’ll join us.

This snippet is from the beginning of Common Grounds. Kate has just run into Mark at the club, literally. They’re holding onto each other while they talk. Attraction was instant. He’s new in town and admits to observing her. She tells him that’s such a Dom thing to do.

“Is that a bad thing?” He raised his eyebrows.

“No.” She nibbled on her bottom lip, very aware of how close his hands were to the bottom of her short skirt and her bare ass underneath.

“Can I have a taste?” He caressed her bottom lip with the pad of his thumb.

“Sure.” She wanted nothing more than to know his taste, to breathe him in deep within her.

He leaned in and pressed his lips to hers.

Common Grounds Blurb:

While Kate Sanderson mixes batter and pumps buttercream inside her tasty creations at the West Egg restaurant, she dreams about two things: owning a bakery and finding a man capable of satisfying her every desire. Mark Larosa designs little masterpieces daily at his tiny barista station at the local Star Coffee and he tailors each drink to the customer. The only cup he can’t seem to get right is for the sassy baker, Kate. He’s determined to give her what she really wants.

When a new building goes up across the street, the pair trip over each other trying to grab the last unit before a chain restaurant claims their dream. To get what they crave, they might have to work together and find the elusive common ground.

.99 cents for a limited time only!

Mid Week Tease -Who’s Hiding?- A snippet from Taking Over (Love Projects 3) – Releases June 10!

Posted on June 3, 2015 by S.J. Maylee

Welcome to hump day my friends. Thank you to the amazing Sandra Bunino for bringing us together.

Since last Wednesday, I’ve finished my final round of editing, I’ve received my cover, and my release date.

Wahoo!!

Taking Over will release June 10th!!

Last Week Marcus learned something pretty significant about Gina’s life that she hasn’t shared with many. Marcus tried to get to the bottom of the situation. I named that tease, “She Protests Too Much”.

Today’s Tease I’ve skipped nothing. To get out of telling him more, Gina has tried reminding him that he’s not her Dom. Let’s see how that works out. Enjoy!

“You want to get technical. Okay. I can play that game.” He stepped back and crossed his arms. “I may not be your Dom, but I am a Master at Club Voyage. Since you are a club submissive, you’ve become my responsibility since I can plainly see you are not okay.”

She knew better than to argue with his logic. He had her trapped and he knew it. The only relief seemed to be it wasn’t obvious he was enjoying himself. Now, that she would have expected. From the first time she met Marcus, he was always urging her to talk about something she didn’t want to. She rubbed at a sparkle in the granite.

“Start talking, Gina. I don’t think you’re going to like my interrogation techniques.”

“Is that what this is all about?” She squinted at him, figuring it didn’t matter if it was true. “You’ve always wanted to have your way with me, haven’t you?” She rubbed her lips together.

“Stop changing the subject.”

“Now that Rob’s moved on, it must be killing you to get in my pants.” She took a step towards him, only stopping when her breasts bumped into his chest. She could feel the heat pouring from him, or was that from her?

“What are you hiding from?”

“I’m not hiding. I’m right here.” She rubbed the front of his pants and found him hard as a rock. “You’re the one hiding the thing that wants to come out to play.”

Blurb:

Gina’s life was perfect, until the day she realized the man she loved didn’t love her back. Her charming life turned upside down as tragedy and cruelty struck her down. She learned to protect her family from those who could cause them pain, but she inadvertently ensured the perfect life would be forever out of her reach.

Marcus has hid his love for Gina for years. His assumptions about her have allowed him to be harsh, but underneath all the anger is a man deeply in love. The tough realities of her life put them in position to see themselves in a whole new light. The second chance is right there and it could take them over the edge into the love they’ve always wanted.

#SatSpanks -The Punishing Kiss of Heat- a snippet from Taking Over #ComingSoon

Posted on May 30, 2015 by S.J. Maylee

Hello! Happy Saturday Spankings! 🙂 I’m sharing from my next release. It’s the third book in my Love Projects Series. I got my cover yesterday. Woot! It’s below.

Last Week: Gina’s in desperate need of a spanking and has just consented to have her nemesis deliver the swats. Oh boy. Marcus, a sought after Dom, has promised to give Gina what she needs. When last week’s snippet ended, he was preparing her rear end.

This Week: I’m sharing from the same scene. I’ve skipped a little bit. The spanking has just begun. Enjoy!

“Two…three…four.” Somewhere over the next couple of swats, Gina remembered why she’d come back into the club. Her knuckles turned white with the force of her grip. She gulped in a breath of air and waited for the next hit to land with its punishing kiss of heat, but none came.

Marcus stepped into her line of sight, just out of reach. The paddle was no longer in his hand.

“I’ll keep counting, Sir. Please, I need this.”

He lowered himself beside her and reached out to caress her fingers until she released her strangle hold. “I’ll finish, after I’ve determined you’re in the right frame of mind.”

Mid Week Tease -She Protests Too Much- A snippet from Taking Over (Love Projects 3) #ComingSoon

Posted on May 27, 2015 by S.J. Maylee

Welcome to hump day my friends. Thank you to the talented Sandra Bunino for bringing us together.

I’m sharing today from my next release, the third book in my Love Projects Series. Taking Over is Gina and Marcus’s story. We’re getting closer to getting a release date. I turned in my first round edits yesterday. Woot!

Last Week Gina entered Club Voyage and began her search for a Dom to give her a spanking. She thought she found the right man for her until he turned and she discovered it was Marcus. She tried to sneak away but he stopped her. Oh boy!

Today’s Tease I’ve skipped forward a good bit and I won’t be telling you exactly what they’re talking about. No spoilers! But Marcus has just learned something pretty significant about Gina’s life that she hasn’t shared with many. Marcus is trying to get to the bottom of the situation. The first line is Gina’s. Enjoy!

“I’ve told the people who need to know.”

“Keller?” He stepped closer.

“Of course. He’s my boss.”

“Anyone else?”

“I think that about covers my people.” She stepped back, miscalculating the end of the counter and Marcus trapped her in the corner by the pantry door.

“What, your husband didn’t need to know?” The anger in his gaze bore into her.

“He was on his way to becoming my ex when I found out. So, no, I haven’t told Rob. My life is none of his business anymore.”

“That’s bullshit, Gina. He was your husband for crying out loud. It doesn’t matter if you didn’t give a shit about the relationship. He cares about you. You should have told him.”

“If Rob gave a shit about me, he wouldn’t–” She sucked her lip into her mouth. “You know what, forget it. Forget this. I don’t need to tell you anything.” She pursed her lips.

“The hell you don’t.”

“Let me by.” She shoved against his chest. “I don’t answer to you. It’s not like you’re my boyfriend. You’re certainly not my Dom.” She pushed her hair from her face and tried to concentrate on the apples in the bowl on the island. Apples. Apples.

Juicy red apples.

“You want to get technical. Okay. I can play that game.”

#SatSpanks -All for the Sting of the Paddle- a snippet from Taking Over #ComingSoon

Posted on May 23, 2015 by S.J. Maylee

Hello! Happy Saturday Spankings! 🙂 I’m sharing from my next release. It’s the third book in my Love Projects Series. This is the book that will change the series. The heroine is the mean girl from books one and two. Oh boy. You just know she’s getting a spanking, lol.

Last Week: Gina has actually come to the spanking benches at Club Voyage when she runs into her nemesis, Marcus. He’s the one man that has always called her out and forced her to face her bad choices.

This Week: I’m sharing from the same scene. I’ve skipped a little bit of their conversation. Marcus has offered to give her what she needs. After thinking about it, she climbs onto the spanking bench. Enjoy!

“Yes, Sir, I understand. I won’t move.” It pinched her last nerve to call him sir, but he was doing her a great service. For these few minutes, she’d give him the respect any Master in this club deserved.

He flipped her skirt up over her back, exposing her round ass. The paddle brushed over her lower back, across her hip, and down the length of her leg to her knee. His hand followed the paddle with a feather touch, allowing a soothing bliss to spread over her skin.

The room either quieted or she’d blocked out the noise but she welcomed the peace, needing to remember why she was there. He repeated the pattern on the other side, drawing her in with his tenderness.

Mid Week Tease -A Wish for Things to be Different- A snippet from Taking Over (Love Projects 3) #ComingSoon

Posted on May 20, 2015 by S.J. Maylee

Welcome to hump day my friends. Thank you to the beautiful Sandra Bunino for bringing us together.

I’m sharing today from my next release, the third book in my Love Projects Series. Taking Over is Gina and Marcus’s story. They were once very close friends but now they’re enemies. More on that later.

Today’s Tease I’ve skipped almost nothing. Enjoy!

The dark lighting must have played a trick on her. Usually she spotted his light colored locks from across the room, making it quite easy to steer clear of him. She had no idea why the submissives in the club flocked to him for their training.

“I’m not surprised you’ve come to the spanking benches. What have you done now?”

“Funny. I’d say it’s good to see you, but I’m not one to lie.”

“Really?” He shifted, squaring his hips in her direction, clasping his wrists in front of him. The paddle, still held in his hand, concealed an important portion of his leather covered bottom half. “I haven’t observed that to be true.”

“Always the gentleman.” This had to be a new record. In less than a minute, he had her loathing herself. It didn’t matter he was working on incorrect data. “Hope not to see you again.” She waved as she turned to go.

“Wait.”

She kept moving.

His hand came down on her shoulder and pulled her around. “When a Master tells you to wait, you do as you’re told. Our personal history doesn’t erase protocol. Is that clear?”

“Yes, Sir.” Her chest rubbed against his. From under her lashes, she looked up into his light blue eyes and, for a second, wished she could forget why she hated him.
