DeathOfAWaterfall_KaraLeighMiller-ebook
Teghan Jacobs didn’t think anything could be worse than learning she’s pregnant by a man she’s been dating less than six months. Boy was she wrong. Her mother, whose drowning in the river of denial, refuses to take a side on the issue. Her overbearing, manipulative father threatens to disown her and cut her off from her trust fund if she doesn’t have an abortion. And she's lying to all of her friends for fear of being ostracized.


Donnie Marks couldn’t be happier. The woman he loves, the woman he fought so hard to be with, is going to have his baby. Life has never been better. But when she shows up in his dorm, sobbing and heartbroken, he learns the horrible truth of what happened. He vows to get revenge on the man who's responsible: Teghan's father.



EXCERPT

Donnie took his feet out of the water, framed her face with his hands again, and brought his mouth down over hers, parting her lips, and with slow, deliberate flicks of his tongue, he stole her breath. He kissed her bottom lip, taking it into his mouth, nipping at it with his teeth before letting it go and grazing his lips back and forth over hers. "Now tell me," he whispered, "why can't this happen?" His lips tickled hers as he spoke. "We both want it to."

Teghan's lips were still slightly parted, inviting him, begging him for another taste as she fought to open her eyes. Forget breathing--she didn't remember how. And forming a coherent thought--forget that too. "It's complicated," she finally managed to say before she took her feet out of the water and stood.

Donnie followed and stood. "What's so complicated about it?"

"I dated Alex for three and a half years. He's..." She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and looked at the concrete beneath her wet, cold feet. "He's the only guy I've ever been with," she muttered.

He lifted her chin so that they were face to face. "Is that what this is about? You're scared?"

"I'm not scared," she said, sticking her chin out defiantly.

A slow smile pulled at the corners of his mouth. "Teghan," he said. He pinched the fabric of her dress between his thumb and forefinger and gently tugged at it. She willingly stepped into his arms. "We can take this as slow as you want."

Currently she has several full-length novels in the works, a series of novellas, and a handful of short stories.

Bio:

Lashell Collins was born and raised in a small Ohio town. And although her Midwestern upbringing gave her a very practical outlook on life, it didn’t stop her from daydreaming about romance and love and all the special little things that make life magical.

Lashell has always loved to write and often dreamed about pursuing her passion, but like so many of us, she allowed life and circumstances to lead her down a very different path for a long time. An avid lover of both animals and flowers, Lashell has spent the last twenty years working in Veterinary Clinics and Garden Centers before finally finding the courage to take writing seriously.


She lives in Ohio with her husband and their two four-legged children, a Bernese Mountain Dog named Ben and an American Bobtail cat called Spike. She is a hopeless romantic, a huge music fan, loves to laugh and loves a happy ending.

Today's Guest: Jayne Kingston




Today's guest is Jayne Kingston! She's promoting her current release Key Party. As part of her blog tour she is giving away to one lucky winner a $25 Gift Card to either Amazon or B&N and one PDF copy of any title from her backlist. Giveaway dates are from June 5, 2013 to June 23, 2013.
Please enjoy an excerpt from Key Party.

Blurb:

After five years of living abroad, Rachel has returned to Chicago. As a welcome-home present, one of her best friends throws a ‘70s-style key party. A night of mingling and anonymous sex with one of Petra’s hunky friends seems perfect.

Petra knows about the crush Rachel had on Ben in college, and she rigs the game so Rachel ends up with the very fine young doctor. But Petra doesn’t know the whole story. Rachel never told her friend about the scorching-hot make-out session that is now Rachel’s go-to sexual fantasy.

And neither of them could know Ben is more than looking forward to showing Rachel every carnal moment she missed when she left without finishing what they’d started that night.


Excerpt

He was circling her, moving around her slowly as though he was a great dark wolf sizing her up, his prey. As much as she wanted to the clothes to go flying and the fun to begin, she was enjoying the way he was drawing out the moment.

“We don’t have to do this, Ben,” Rachel offered, suddenly and hugely embarrassed to have been so obviously set up by her friend. The fact that he remembered her was one thing. Still wanting anything to do with her after the way she’d run out on him that night back in college, and then never contacted him again, was another.

For as nervous as she was to finally have him in her bedroom, the absolute last thing she wanted was for him to back out and leave. How many years had she been replaying the night they’d made out on his couch in her head? How many times had she imagined going back to finish what they’d started?

Really, there were too many to count.

“Oh, no,” he taunted, moving around her again. “I’m not letting you get away so easily this time,” he breathed close to her ear.

She could feel the heat of his body against her back. His fingertips brushed her neck just below her hairline. Her skin rippled with goose bumps and a fresh wave of heat rolled out from her core.

“You and I have some unfinished business to attend to, don’t we?”

Bio:

When Jayne Kingston was growing up she spent many hours daydreaming about a time when she could flee the too-small town in Ohio where she grew up and run laughing for the sunny West Coast. Of course she stuck around and raised her family in that small town instead, and doesn’t regret it for a moment. Now she spends her days dreaming about the delicious fun two people can have while falling in love.

Today's Guest Amy Ruttan!




Please welcome today's guest Amy Ruttan. She is promoting her recent release Private Release. We have an excerpt to enjoy and please enter for a chance to win a bear shifter charm bracelet, ebook copy of Private Release, and Mounted Release. 
It is a tour long giveaway beginning June 6, 2013- June 28, 2013.




Blurb:

Jared Stevens hasn't been the same since he was shot. His duty is to marry a Mukswa woman and be a strong leader. He lets the elders of his clan choose his bride, because the woman he wants is only in his fantasies, the only woman who brings him to exquisite release.

Adele Banks loved being a Mountie, but one shot ended her career and altered her world forever. Adele is determined to make a life for herself. She's hired to recover Beare Enterprises embezzled funds, but what she didn't count on is being extremely attracted to her client when meeting him for the first time as he's naked in his shower.

Adele is Jared's mystery woman, but she's taboo. He bonds to her, but has to keep his society secret, as much as he wants to mark her as his own.

As Jared fights his own inner beast, remnants of the prior chief's wrath is affecting the clan and Adele. To save Adele's life, Jared may just have to betray his clan's secret and risk his heart.



Excerpt

The only things she was wearing were her cotton panties and silk camisole. She could see her scars peeking out from behind her clothing. She covered it with her hand the best she could. His gaze raked over her body and he grabbed her wrist.

“What’re you doing?”

Heat flushed her cheeks as he looked at her scar. “I didn’t…it’s not the most pleasing thing to look at. I know.”

He cocked an eyebrow and then ripped his cotton shirt in half, baring his chest to her. Where she could see his own nasty scar on his shoulder.

“Now we’re even.”

Adele smiled and touched his scar. He let out a hiss and then growled again, snatching her hand away.

“You better take off your cami, or I’ll shred it from your body.”

After the way he’d destroyed his t-shirt she had no doubt he would. She sat up and pulled it off over her head. The cool air of the room made her nipples pucker, even more so.

Jared growled in appreciation. “What do you want me to do first?”

“You’re asking me?”

He grinned. “We have all night and I’m a gentleman and it’s always ladies first.”

She wrapped her arms around his neck. “I’m game with almost anything.”

“Good.”

Before she knew it she was flat on her back again. He whisked her panties down and spread her legs wide, hungrily gazing down at her pussy. He ran his fingers over her scar and frowned.

“It’s not right you were given so much pain.” His eyes twinkled as he moved between her legs. “But I promise you I can make you forget any pain you incurred.”


Bio: 

Born and raised on the outskirts of Toronto, Ontario Amy fled the big city to settle down with the country boy of her dreams. When she's not furiously typing away at her computer, she's a mom to three wonderful children, who have given her another job as a taxi driver.

A voracious reader, she was given her first romance novel by her grandmother who shared her penchant for a hot romance. From that moment, Amy was hooked by the magical worlds, handsome heroes and sigh worthy romances contained in the pages and she knew what she wanted to be when she grew up.

Life got in the way, and after the birth of her second child, she decided to pursue her dream of becoming a romance author.

Amy loves to hear from readers. It makes her day, in fact. You can find out more about Amy at:
