Ménage Unchained [EBOOK]

**blurb**
Friends Steve Guidotti and Jerry Frigaard know that anything worth having is worth fighting for. In an effort to win back their old flame Siobhan, they use the skills that made them the successful businessmen they are and concoct a plan.  While they both enjoy Siobhan’s spice, one man is madly in love with her.  Of course, he won’t admit it.

Siobhan Anderson knows what she wants in life, in business…and in bed.  In life, she wants happiness.  In business, she wants to be the boss.  In bed, she wants it all.  Having not one, but two alpha males sharing her bed, Siobhan has more than she needs, but she has fun…and the love marks to prove it. 

Or she had fun…until she kicked both men out of her bed.  Though she knows it was the right thing to do, she reluctantly admits (to herself) that she misses Jerry and Steve.  No one else ever rocked her body like those two.  Accepting their apologies and the two men back in her life, she soon discovers that not only are they rocking her world, but one of them has obtained a little piece of her heart as well.  

Can Siobhan continue to withhold her true feelings, or will she accept them, and choose the man who holds the key to her heart?



**excerpt**
Siobhan Anderson damn near snapped her pen in half when she saw Steve and Jerry exiting the elevator…
Besides being successful businessmen, they were also her lovers—or had been until she’d ended things eight months ago. She wished a few more weeks had passed before they visited again, simply because of the searing sexual desires they invoked within her each time she laid eyes on them…
She couldn’t deny that she’d missed them or that she secretly wished things could stay the way they had been.  The absence of both men in her life had made her realize what her true desires were.  Still, in light of that, she wasn’t going to be anyone’s fool—especially since she didn’t know if Jerry shared her feelings.
            The last thing she wanted was to face them now. She felt her face flush, among other things. Surely they knew they’d captured her heart.  Despite their separation, she still carried their mark, physically and mentally, and it was damned annoying.
Folding her arms, she patiently waited for them to swipe their badges and smirked when Steve rang the doorbell while Jerry tapped his foot.  Flashing them a come-hither smile as she batted her thick eyelashes, Siobhan pointed to her own badge, knowing they’d get the message.  Laughter fell from her lips when Steve waved and rang the doorbell again. He was being an ass, as usual. Sort of like the last time they’d visited.
Siobhan ignored their antics and filed some papers, determined she was not going to simply buzz those fuckers in despite how fine they were.  Corporate rules meant wearing visible badges and letting yourself in. Despite being big dogs in the company, they were no exception.   Of course, they just couldn’t resist having some fun with her, just like she couldn’t resist showing them she wasn’t a pushover.
            Let the games begin, she thought, grinning to herself, determined to be the winner in this power struggle. Siobhan produced a challenging smile that seemed to frustrate Jerry. Ha-ha! Ruffling the Viking’s feathers was something she did often for pure fun out of bed and for pure pleasure in it, as it made for awesome down and dirty sex.
            Returning her smile, Steve rang the bell again, while Jerry reached into his inside jacket pocket and retrieved his badge before swiping it.
            Pretending to ignore them, Siobhan checked her voice messages, flaunting how unaffected she was. Lust brewed in both men’s eyes. Good.  She shouldn’t be the only one affected.  While arrogance was their middle name, she yearned to be tangled in a pile of steaming sex, just like old times.
 A few days ago, both men had sent chocolates. While she’d enjoyed the gifts, she was beside herself, thinking they were still competing for her affections. If this was the case, Siobhan knew things wouldn’t end well, especially as this was the very thing that had destroyed their relationship in the first place.
            “Good morning, Siobhan. Got a conference room for us today?” Steve asked as he leaned his elbows on the ledge while tapping the conference-room book with his fingers. “By the way, you look exceptionally beautiful today.”
            “Morning, Steve, and thank you,” she replied as she stared into the Italian’s baby blues. Yeah, he still had the same effect on her. She cleared her throat, ignoring the moisture that formed between her legs.  “Are you guys expecting visitors, or will it be just the two of you?”
             “No, just myself and Jerry,” Steve said.
“In that case you guys can take any of the guest offices.”
 “Thank you.  You’re definitely working that black,” he added with a smile. “But then, you already knew that or you wouldn’t be sporting it, eh, darling?” He stroked his goatee.
            Her nipples pressed against her bra, and she squirmed in her seat. “Thanks,” she said, clearing her throat. The ringing phone saved her from having to say more.   
As she hung up, Jerry ended his conversation and joined Steve.  His squared jaw was tight, and those icy cold blues peered right through her before softening.  
“I see I’m going to have to put you in your place while I’m here,” Jerry said with a half smile. 
She glanced up at Jerry, batted her eyelashes, and flashed her pearly whites.  It was amusing the way he always attempted to boss her around.  She knew he was simply teasing, so she’d play this game…for now.   “You know the corporate policy, Jerry.  According to security, all visitors are supposed to display their badges and let themselves in.”  Before he could respond, she pressed on.  Jerry might be a dom in bed, but they weren’t in bed right now.  “Besides, you couldn’t put me in my place if your life depended on it.”
Jerry smiled.  “Is that an invitation?” he asked in a soft voice.
Siobhan exhaled sharply. “An invitation for what?” She bit her bottom lip as the Viking’s jaw muscle twitched a few times. He always had to be in control. And she always had to test that control.  She loved plucking his nerves as much as the two men enjoyed vexing hers. 
Jerry leaned across the ledge. “An invitation for me to bend you over the desk and have my way with you.  You know from experience I can think of plenty of ways to put you in your place, and I know from experience you like it when I do,” he whispered without blinking.
Suddenly, Siobhan found it somewhat difficult to breathe. She clamped her thighs together as an intense vision of being sandwiched between both men flashed through her mind. Tiny currents of pleasure danced on her clit, almost bringing her to the edge of an explosive orgasm.  All she had to do was imagine Steve delivering a few swift licks of his tongue as Jerry tweaked her nipples. 
“You know what you need?”  Jerry paused, giving her a chance to answer. When she remained silent, he continued. “You need us.”

 A defense attorney working for Cameron, Cameron &  LaSalle, P.C., Alisha Carrington, hasn’t dated anyone since she was betrayed by her fiancé. Too afraid to risk her heart again, she has vowed to dedicate her life to building her career. Unbeknownst to Alisha, she has caught the eye of two very powerful men, Tristan Cameron and James Langston.
Tristan is more than a drop-dead gorgeous attorney. Undercover for the FBI, he has been using his family’s law practice in Atlanta as his front. Although he loves women, his undercover work is just too dangerous for him to commit to one woman. Summoned to New York by his brother, Tristan comes face-to-face with the one woman who can make him rethink his vows against commitment—Alisha. He’s tried to resist his attraction to the sexy African-American for years, but when Alisha’s life is threatened, he vows to keep her safe…and the powers-that-be help them both.
  **R excerpt**
  
Alisha got up also, “I’ll come back when you get back, Bran—”
“Sit down, Alisha, please,” Tristan said, his temper rising again.
She responded by sucking her teeth. “Whatever,” she said and proceeded to follow Brandon out the door, but Tristan was too quick for her.
“I don’t think so, Beauty,” he said coming up behind her and pulling her back against his frame and locking his arm securely around her waist, preventing her escape. “Let’s talk. Please.”
Pulled against the tight confines of Tristan’s rock hard body a moan slipped from her lips. Not only did he look good, but damn he felt good too. He was gentle, yet firm, in his hold on her.
Alisha’s entire body went on full alert at first contact with his. Her nipples pebbled against the silkiness of her demi bra. For once she was grateful that she had on a jacket. There was no doubt in her mind that Tristan had felt her body’s reaction to his closeness, and from the growing bulge nestled against her ass, she knew she was getting to him also.
“Hold on, Beauty,” Tristan said. “Brandon, we’re straight here.”
“Alisha, you sure you’re okay?” Brandon asked.
“ Of course. I can handle your brother, Brandon,” Alisha replied.
 “Okaay,” Brandon said, smiling and shaking his head as he went to open the door to his office.
As Brandon opened the door, Tristan kept his hold on Alisha, simply spinning her around and turning her in his arms and out of the view of the open doorway. “We don’t want to give the office anything else to gossip about, do we, Beauty?” Tristan said.
Brandon rolled his eyes. “You have one hour, Tris, two tops. After that, you’re on your own and I want my damn office back.” Brandon quit the room, closing the door behind him.
“You can let go of me now,” Alisha said, looking up into Tristan’s face.
“Can I, Beauty?” he said with a raised eyebrow. “I don’t think that I can, actually,” he said, knowing in his heart of hearts that he meant it literally. He pulled her more closely into his embrace and swooped down to take her mouth. “Open,” he said. Alisha’s mouth opened on his command. He was taking her mouth with a hunger that was reserved for her only. Never had he felt anything remotely like this with any other women. His mouth mated with hers as would any man claiming his woman. Before Alisha knew what was happening, Tristan had deftly divested her of her jacket, tossing it across the room and onto the leather couch. He pulled her blouse out of the confines of her skirt with both hands, then slipped his hand underneath her bra cup and grasped the full globes in the palms of his hands. He massaged her breasts from the base of the round mound to her long, hard, erect nipples, pulling gentle on the nipples.
Alisha thought she would die from the sensation as their tongues continued their mating dance and his fingers continued giving her nipples pleasure never known before. Her already soaked panties got wetter as her cream seeped from her vagina onto her barely-there thong.
As their tongues mated, something jolted through Tristan. He knew that this was one woman that he had no intention of letting go. Yes, Ms. Alisha Carrington was his full mother-fucking stop. He would kill anyone and anything that tried to come between him and this woman. He had never laid claim to any woman before, but he knew without a shadow of a doubt, as soon as she walked her fine self into Brandon’s office, that she was going to be his.

**blurb**

Former supermodel Diamond Shaw returns home to find herself in an heated exchange with a tall, built, and blue-eyed man she’s crushed on for a long time: Raferty Carmichael. Talk about sexy; able to make her body sizzle with one look, she finds herself on a road trip with the infuriating, hot man.

Rafe has been keeping tabs on Diamond Shaw since she left her family’s investigation business to step out on her own. Beautiful women come and go in his business, but sinfully sexy Diamond caught his eye long ago. Giving her time to establish herself in her business, he’s waited since it seems like forever to make her his. When Rafe learns by accident that Diamond is planning to take a road trip with another man…well, let’s just say the only man Diamond will be riding with is him
.

**Excerpt**

Rafe sighed at the two cousins. They both knew full well what he was talking about but were trying to avoid answering his questions. Lord, trying to keep track of these two was going to give him heart failure. He turned back to Diamond. “Well, once your brothers find out about what happened last night, they’re going to feel much better about their sister running an investigation company. You two need bodyguards yourselves—how are you going to guard someone else? Part of an investigator’s job is to protect your client; which may include being his or her security.”
 “I don’t need a bodyguard,” Diamond replied.
“I say you do,” Rafe replied in a controlled voice.
“And I say I don’t. But if I did, are you volunteering for the position?” she shot back, head tilted to the side, the challenge evident in her eyes.
 Rafe gave her a bold stare. “Is that a challenge, Diamond? Be very careful what you ask for, sweetheart. You just might get it.”
Hot damn! She hadn’t expected that. Smiling up at him, she flipped her head, sending her neatly trimmed hair in a seductive wave across her shoulders.
“Oh really, when?” was Diamond’s blunt, yet seductive reply. She was challenging him and they both knew it. How far she could go had yet to be determined. At least she had gotten a reaction out of him. And his reply was getting a reaction out of her. An, “I may have to go home and change my panties” reaction. Shit yeah! She was being bold, but she had a feeling that he was worth it.
 Blue eyes challenged light brown eyes. Rafe watched her for a second more before he leaned across her desk and whispered in her ear. “If you play with fire, Brown Eyes, you’re bound to get burned.”
His seductive voice sent a command directly to her clit, which started to pulse like a heartbeat. Diamond turned her mouth towards his ear and murmured, “Are you fire, baby? Or are you just blowing a lot of smoke?” Then she swiped his ear with her tongue.
“Wow! You two need a hose,” Asia fanned herself as she rose from her chair. “Should I leave and come back?” she asked, smiling.
Rafe was the first to recover. Hell, he’d forgotten that Asia was still in the room. “No. I came by to make sure that you two were all right. I have to get going. I’ll stop by later in the week.” He sat up and slid off Diamond’s desk. “To answer your question, Brown Eyes, I’m a hot-blooded, Native American man. I don’t blow smoke—I make it happen.” He winked at her.
 Rafe’s words excited Diamond even more. She tried to hide her anticipation as they continued to stare each other down, neither conceding. Diamond’s breathing was rapid. Rafe appeared as calm as ever.

Starlina “Star” Jenkins is known for causing all kinds of mayhem, so no one’s surprised when Star is caught climbing through Hudson Reese’s bedroom window. Nobody, that is, but Hudson Reese himself.
Having been in love with Star for as long as he can remember, after catching her climbing through his second-floor bedroom window, Hudson decides to take matters into his own hands. Now that the caramel-skinned beauty is on his turf, Hudson has no intentions of letting Star go, ever.

**Excerpt**

Suddenly realization dawned on Hudson. Star had to be talking about Carla. Carla was the daughter of one of Hudson’s business associates. Sighing, Hudson pulled Star into his embrace. “Sugar, that was Carla, the daughter of a business associate; and yes, we did leave together, but I took her home and then I came home. There is absolutely nothing going on between me and Carla. Never has been and never will be—honest. I have all the woman I need and want right here in my arms,” Hudson murmured softly, bending down to capture her lips in a smoldering kiss.
Their mouths claimed each other, tongues dueling, lips demanding and seeking, urging each other on. Hudson grabbed hold of Star’s hips, easily lifting her to meet his erection and grinding into her, his lips never losing hold of her lips.
“Let’s take this upstairs,” he whispered against her lips, wanting to move upstairs, yet not ready to move away from the smoothness of her mouth for a solitary moment.
Finally releasing her lips, Hudson bent at the knees and lifted Star up and into his arms. “This has been a long time coming, and I’ll be damned if our first time together’s going be in the den,” he said while walking up the steps toward his bedroom. Once in the bedroom, he placed her onto his king-size bed and began to undress.
“Star, do you remember asking me to teach you how to ride a while back?” At her nod he continued, “Well, sugar, you get your first lesson tonight.”
“I was talking about a horse, Hudson, and you’re about ten years too late with that one.” She tried to sound annoyed, but she was too aroused for her words to have the desired effect.
“Well, I’m not talking about a horse. I’m talking about the man,” he replied huskily. “You really need to start undressing, Star.”
He only had to tell her once. Star sat up and began to undress. She’d gotten as far as taking off her shirt when she felt Hudson’s hands at her waist, releasing her belt buckle and unsnapping her jeans. “Lift up,” he ordered, pulling her jeans down over her hips. Once he’d finished he stood up, bringing her with him. “Come on, Star, reach behind you and release those babies. He glanced at her breast. I want to see those beauties outside the confines of your bra. As pretty as that lace thingy is, I know it doesn’t hold a candle to what’s inside of it.”
“Hold on, Hudson. You want to see them so bad, why don’t you take it off? Star sassed.

Author/Publisher Spotlight Jeanie and Jayha of Beautiful Trouble Publishing!

Hello Everyone! Please welcome Jeanie and Jayha of Beautiful Trouble Publishing.

CK: When did you ladies start your writing career?

BTP: Officially? I believe it was a sunny day in 1980 and I was given an assignment by my teacher who said: “Write a story” so I did…it’s been like that ever since but instead of a teacher telling me to write I’ve got this danged thing could a muse who is a bit of a task master and likes to give me urgent ideas that have to be written at 4.02am. But Momma and I have been writing together for…oh how long Momma? I’d like to say a decade but I think it’s more like four years and counting now.


CK: What makes you write for the interracial genre?

BTP: For me it was a natural thing, I’ve been reading since I could form a sentence and the characters always had “Long blonde hair and blue/green eyes and (here’s my favorite bit) alabaster skin” well I had none of those things and I wanted to read about chicks that looked like me and thought like me and knew how to throw a cuss word (or a hundred) out there so that’s why I write and will always write I/R. Momma said to say: “Ditto”.


CK: When did you establish your publishing company?

BTP: [Jeanie] Two years ago. Momma and I were discussing one of our many stories and how we knew no-one would want to touch it because of some references and yet we knew it was one of those stories that had to be published so we went ahead and self-published it and it was awesome that feeling we got the more we talked the more we realized that we were going to have many more stories that traditional E-Book publishers just weren’t going to touch so BTP began to be created.


CK: What prompted you to launch Beautiful Trouble Publishing?

BTP: Momma has experienced rejection that all new writers have to go through – I’ve experienced it in the other types of writing I do in a different way – but having gone through what she had Momma was wanting to get out there and tell these new authors ‘Hey here’s a publishing company that isn’t too big, not ALL about profit and expects to work WITH you to get your story published’ and that’s what BTP is, we want to help that author who is writing such awesome stuff who has been wary of going the traditional E-Book publisher way who wants to get published but doesn’t know how.


CK: What are the pros and cons to owning your own publishing company?

BTP: If we had time before we sure as sh*t don’t now! Lol! Ask us again in 12 months our answer may be different. But the feeling of accomplishing a finished product with an Author who is happy with the WHOLE package is awesome.


CK: Please, tell us about your most recent project.

BTP: [Jeanie] I’ve just released VISCERAL: The Faerie & The Wolf from The Otherworldly Series (with Mommas and Stephanie’s help!) together “Bow down to the Know”, “Treat Kink and be Scary”, “Can’t see the forest for the Tease”





CK: Out of all the stories you’ve written, what two are your favorites?

BTP: [Jeanie] I can’t answer that honestly, I love ALL our stories, combined, Momma is always falls in love with our Hero’s she tries to act casual about it at first but when we’re about half way through the story she’s loving our lead male character like nobody’s business.


CK: Where do you see yourselves two years from now?

BTP: [Jeanie] Building my castle next to Momma’s Mansion Log Cabin on 50 acres of land we’ve bought – possibly have a rugrat which Momma will have commandeered (read: is busy SPOILING) and writing.

CK: What are your hobbies?

BTP: [Jeanie] Getting on Momma’s last nerve…LMAO!


CK: How do you ladies unwind?

BTP: [Jeanie] We create – on the phone, via email chat and watch movies and give our men instructions on how to NOT go missing that particular day.



CK:  Do you mold your characters strictly from imagination or from those you cross paths with in everyday life?

BTP: [Jeanie] Oh yes! Momma and my sisters are always in each character in subtle or OVER the top ways as a writer you can’t help but do that. Momma will tell you that she will use so many of our conversations in our stories (which she has) and whenever she thinks of the characters getting into some kind of craziness she blames it on me when the character is ‘naughty’.


CK: What are your favorite paranormal creatures? Pick two please.

BTP: Wolf shifters and Vampires





CK: Where can you ladies be found on the internet?




Ladies, thank you so much for sharing. It was awesome having you here today! I’m adding your books to my TBR pile on Goodreads. All of your books look simply awesome!
