Blurb

People made love seem complicated. Intricate. Novels tried to capture its intensity, music tried to rein in its soul.
I read every novel I could. I lived and breathed every song that I could listen to. The sounds filled up my unquiet mind.
Then came him.
Killian.
He brought with him the beauty of silence that echoed through my soul and showed me love wasn’t complicated. It was simple. Beautiful.
Some say love at first sight didn’t exist. That you couldn’t find your soul mate at sixteen years old. Those were people rooted in reality, chained to the confines of life that dictated how you were meant to think. Killian broke those chains. He broke everything. Shattered it so I could see that reality was overrated. That daydreams could somehow come to life.
My life tumbled into darkness in the time after I met him. So dark I thought I’d never see the light again. But he was always at my side. His life meant he knew how to navigate the dark. Lead me out.
I waded through the darkness with him at my side.
We’d be together forever, I was certain of that.
Until I wasn’t.

Blurb

Once upon a time, in the real-life world, love found a home in the hearts of two star-crossed believers…

The love story of Walker Reed and Reese Mitchell was undeniable. Their story began with a smile shared between them. They had tender moments and many reminders of how beautiful their love story was. Falling in love was easy. Staying together…that was the hard part.

They both endured seventeen heartbreaking years apart and just simply existed in their separate lives. Once again, Fate intervened for them and reunited the lovers to make new promises of Forever.

The universe works magic sometimes…not only reuniting Walker and Reese, but their children too. Jackson Reed and Riley Briggs never knew their parents’ pasts, and when they met one day at a chance encounter, it was as if they had known each other all their lives. Just like their parents before them, they became two hearts…one love. 

Life has a way of coming full circle. For the couples in the Forever Series, they found their love, struggled through pain and loss, and made new promises that sealed their commitment to one another.

The finale to the Forever Series reunites you once again with Walker and Reese, as well as Jackson and Riley, who are beginning the next chapter in their lives. The journey of Forever Love is not just their parents’ story, it’s their story too!

We are all trying to find our Forever; it just takes some a little longer to find it…and keep it.








Excerpt

Prologue
Finding our Forever

Life has a way of coming full circle in one’s life. For me, Walker Reed, it has. As I sat here with my sleeping daughter in my arms, I reflected on how my life had changed over the past year. I was holding a living, breathing, and so perfect little version of the love of my life, Reese. 

I always knew our child would be gorgeous. Our little baby was the combination of the both of us, but I had a feeling that this daddy’s girl was going to rule the world someday, as I did from behind my desk at Reed Global.

Oh, to reflect on how far I had come in such a short time since reuniting with Reese! We went through hell, literal hell, to be together. We survived my father, Henry Townsend, and nearly lost my son, Jackson, to the same fate that took his mother. Talk about coming full circle! Yeah, we made it through and came out stronger on the other side. 

I swore to myself and to God that if Jackson survived, I would change and finally give my son the freedom to live his life on his own and on his terms. Giving up control was never an option for me, but I promised Jackson that I would try. Reese always had faith in me and knew and understood all of my intentions when it came to the well-being for my son. 

I trusted my son and saying goodbye to him and Riley was probably the hardest thing I had to get through, but I did it. I let him go but reminded him that I would always be here if he ever needed me. He hugged me tightly and said he knew without question. Reese was there to comfort me as they drove away to their new life in New York. 

I was a hard man to love, and by choosing to love a man like me, that commitment took unconditional acceptance. Reese loved all parts of me, and knowing that made me a better man for her and for Jackson. The Reed men had been through hell and back, and we were both still standing with new promises of Forever with the ones we loved. 

We are all trying to find our Forever; it just takes some of us a little longer to find it. I am living proof of that.

Author Bio

I am a dreamer. I've always been a dreamer. Some may not have worked out the way I hoped they would, but I also believe that everything happens for a reason.

Writing has changed my entire life. It brings happiness and fulfillment to areas in my life that I didn't even know I was missing. It's also one of the hardest jobs I've ever done. It takes me away from my family, friends, and the little day-to-day tasks that once upon a time seemed normal. Sometimes I like to revisit my portfolio of old short stories, poems, and the inspirational quotes I have kept for many years. Reading through it all shows how far I've come and that the journey I am on now is exactly what I dreamed of many years ago. This makes me smile.

A long time ago, I used to write short stories and poems in journals and kept them privately to myself. It took quite some time and many sacrifices, but now I have four published books and have my very own writing cave. What the heck is that? Well, it's my second home where I laugh, dream, imagine, and write my heart out to hopefully produce something that will make other people smile.

I call New Jersey home where I share my life with my husband, Henry, and our three sons.  

Life is an incredible journey.
We are all an open book. Every day is a new chapter to write in our story. Lessons are to be learned and shared.
Keep moving forward.
Never give up on your dreams.
Smile, and never let anyone dull your Sparkle.

Believe me...Your spirit will thank you for it.
Xoxo

Vickie is given an ultimatum: Start working for her mother’s pimp/boyfriend, or get out of her trailer. Uncertain, Vickie chooses to go with her mother’s plan and give up her virginity.   Buck and Shep are best friends and roommates. Buck is the boisterous one, while Shep has been burned by rumors that he killed his parents as a boy. They see Vickie leave with Clay. When Vickie starts to struggle, having changed her mind, they rush in and save her, giving her a place to live. Vickie has always had a crush on them. Buck encourages her to explore her sexuality, and then pushes boundaries by including Shep, too.   The three of them fall into a domestic routine and intense relationship. Vickie’s mom and boyfriend try and get Vickie back, and it ends in a fight. The trailer park witnesses Shep and Buck beat the boyfriend. When the cops show, their instinct is to arrest Shep, but the neighbors get him off the hook with the truth. Vickie is startled and pleased with Buck and Shep’s protection of her.   Shep is experiencing difficulties at his job as a miner. His boss seems determined to get him fired. Shep needs the job so he can make enough money to get Buck and Vickie out of the trailer park. Vickie is finding herself through community college and is beginning to believe she has worth. Buck is content to find a stable relationship is more nourishing than flings.   After a cave-in at Shep’s work, his brush with mortality brings them closer. But the murder of Vickie’s mom makes Shep a suspect again-- and not just with the cops. Buck and Shep fight and Shep runs before he can be arrested. Determined to prove his innocence, Vickie finds evidence that Shep never murdered his parents.   Vickie is tricked by a man bent on revenge. It’s the man who paid for her virginity and never got it. He’s the one who murdered her parents and subsequently tricks her into coming to him. He plans on hurting her and getting what he paid for.   Shep and Buck mend their hurt and realize Vickie is in trouble. They use their hunting skills to find her and save her in the nick of time. The police were following, hoping to nab Shep, but with Vickie’s evidence and some evidence from the scene of the crime, Shep is off the hook. After giving their stories at the police station, the three are released. Vickie lets Shep know she didn’t just find the evidence that saved him-- she found money his grandmother had hidden away for him. It’s enough money to buy their dreams of getting out of the trailer park. They build a home and a family together.

Vein Of Love
Title: Vein Of Love
Author: R. Scarlett
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Release Date: August 16, 2016
add-to-goodreads-button31
Synopsis
Three centuries ago, Molly Darling’s ancestors signed a contract in blood—daemon blood—to protect themselves from harm. On the eve she turns nineteen, Molly leaves for her birthday party against her parent’s wishes, sick of their warnings about her “betrothal to a demon.”
Except that she’s very much betrothed, and he’s very much a demon—one who’s only agreed to the nuptials to steal Molly’s ancient daemon powers. Brash, arrogant, and built like a Greek god, Tensley Knight keeps showing up to save Molly from otherworldly attacks, only to insult her a moment later. As Molly learns more about the demon world, she realizes two things: that her family’s safety depends on a successful marriage, while any chance of freedom she’ll ever have calls for Tensley’s demise. Yet sometimes Molly spots a tortured soul beyond those liquid grey eyes, and there’s no denying the way her skin tingles when Tensley touches it. In Vein of Love, safety requires sacrifice, foe becomes lover, and one must decide whether to kiss...or to kill.  
Excerpt
“What took you so long?” he muttered angrily, taking the cigarette from his lips. A gentle, curling tail of smoke expelled from them. His forehead wrinkled when he did a double take, scanning her exposed skin and messy hair. She swallowed. “You smoke?” He hiked a dark brow. “When did you start caring?” She stared back; something seemed off with him. He held the cigarette between his index and middle fingers and watched her. “What do you want, Molly?” His voice was low, and a hint of irritation weaved through it. Do it now. She reached up to her sunglasses and removed them, letting them hit the ground. When her eyes met his, he froze. “I want you,” she said. He cocked his head to the side. “You want me?” He sounded arrogant, but also a bit suspicious. She moved slowly, each click of her high heels echoing in the silent apartment. She stood in front of him, running a finger along his bare arm, and jumped at the unexpected jolt of energy from the touch. Her cool expression faltered, heat rolling up her chest, leaving her skin blotchy, but she collected herself and continued gliding her finger along his muscular arm. She used her legs to spread his apart. She placed her trembling hands on his firm chest, pressing her entire length against his. Just give him a taste, then attack. “Don’t you want me?” She fluttered her lashes at him. He eyed her. She worried it wasn’t working; he hadn’t touched her back. It was like feeling up a damn statue. As stupid as it was, embarrassment took over her. As she straightened up, humiliated, Tensley touched her wrist. His touch sent energy through her veins. Oh, oh god. His lips grazed her cheeks, then her throat. When he tugged her completely against him, she could feel his rigid need beneath her. An intense heat coiled between her legs. Just a taste...

Blurb

I thought I had love and life figured out. Then my boyfriend of seven years dumped me right before our college graduation and my seemingly perfect parents announced they were getting divorced after 30 years of marriage.

Everything I thought I knew about love was erased in a matter of days and my first amazing summer as an official adult was officially... different.

Thanks to my friends, I've mostly recovered and feel ready to dip my toe in the dating pool. I'm thrust into a new world of dating filled with apps, emoticons, and acronyms. Swipe this, tag that…

WTF does DTF even mean??

I’m off to a rocky start, starting with a guy we’ve nicknamed Mr. Chompy. It doesn’t get much better from there…

Excerpt

“I’m sure it wasn’t that bad,” Anette said, barely stifling a laugh.

I shot her a long-suffering look and grabbed a can of Diet Coke out of the fridge. “It was bad. Horrific, train wreck, body-parts-flung-from-the-wreckage kind of bad.”

I nudged Zach’s legs off the coffee table as I pushed by to take my seat on the sofa. I couldn’t help a sadistic smile when he moaned. “Hey, now. Just because you had a foul date doesn’t mean you have to…”

“He chomped.”

Both Anette and Zach exchanged glances, the pair of them now fully focused on the horror show that had become my date for the evening.

“I’m sorry... he what?” Anette giggled.

“Allow me to demonstrate. You’re me.” I turned towards Zach on the sofa, my knee wedged tightly against his body. “We were at his house, sitting this close, and started making out. Everything seemed fine. Then he does this move with his hand,” I explained as I slid my hand along the side of his jaw and into the shaggy hair at the back of his head. I looked to Anette and shrugged. “Hot, right?”

“Oh yeah, I’m all tingly over here,” she conceded, crossing her arms.

“And we kiss,” I added, leaning in for the full effect. Zach stiffened, probably afraid I would actually kiss him. “He pulls back, makes this bizarre face and chomps.” I open my mouth as wide as my date had and clack my teeth together with a violent CHOMP.

I pause for a second and then throw my hands in the air as if declaring victory in the I Swear I’m Not Making This Up competition. Shock washed over their faces as I allowed the scene to sink in.

“I still don’t understand,” Zach frowned.

“That face, right there! That’s the face I think I was making… the first time.”

Anette threw her ass down on the coffee table and stared at me incredulously. “Hold on. The first time? This nutjob did this more than once?”

“You let this nutjob do this more than once?” Zach added.

I smoothed my hair out with both hands and sighed. “I didn’t want to be mean. Maybe he has a tic, or Tourette's. At the very least, I hoped he’d had something stuck in his teeth he was trying to get out.”

“Because flossing with your face makes absolutely perfect sense. Yep.”

I rolled my eyes at her and continued retelling my night from hell. “But he kept doing it. And that’s when I realized the funny face he was making was supposed to be sexy. It was like he’d learned seduction techniques from a Looney Toons cartoon.”

Anette patted me comfortingly on the knee and returned to getting ready for work. “Well, at least you have the story to remember him by. You might have nightmares about denture-wearing zombies chasing you for the next few weeks, but whatever.”

“That wasn’t the worst part,” I intoned, unsure if I even wanted to reveal this section of my night. Maybe I should take it to the grave…

Title: Unmatchable
Author: Sky Corgan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 17, 2016



Blurb

From USA Today bestselling author Sky Corgan comes a sexy new billionaire romance. 

I've spent my entire adult life avoiding dating, which is funny because I work for a matchmaking service. My boss calls me "The Beast" because of my no B.S. attitude. My job is to scare away problem clients—the unmatchables.

In waltzes Mister Alfred Barnes. He's stuck up, brazen, and mouthwateringly gorgeous. Guys like him think they own the world, but in here I'm in charge. Kicking him out of my office is one of my greatest pleasures...until I find out that he totally lied about his identity.

Someone is going to get fired over this, and it might be me.

Now Mister Barnes is after me. After me in the most unexpected of ways. I've never dealt with anyone like him before, and years of therapy tell me that he's exactly not what I need. 

What does my therapist know, though? She has her own secrets, and I'm beginning to think that everyone is out to destroy me. I'm beginning to think that I'm the one who is unmatchable.

This is a standalone novel. No cliffhangers.

Excerpt

"Are you telling me that I'm not allowed to see anyone else?”

“That's exactly what I'm telling you.” He closes in on me, making my heart skip a beat as he holds my chin between his thumb and forefinger. “You're mine now. Only mine.”

“That's a very brazen thing to say.”

“I'm a brazen man. And I don't like sharing, Ember. You should know that off the bat.”

“I don't like sharing either,” my voice is a lusty whisper as I stare up into his eyes.

He has me trapped, feeling weak and vulnerable and wanton. Oh so wanton. Everything in me that is trying to resist him is failing. Miserably.

I part my lips instinctively as he bends to kiss me. Fireworks go off inside of my head as our mouths mold together. His tongue peeks inside eagerly, and mine rushes to meet his, tasting him. His hand slips around my waist, and he presses me back against the door. My clit pulses as I feel the front of his slacks bulge against me, and the thought comes to my mind that I could have him if I wanted him. Right now, I could take him to my apartment and be lying beneath him. I could run my hands down the hard planes of his chest and the rippling of his abdominal muscles. I could experience what it's like to be filled by him.
