At the hands of fellow villagers, Alice is delivered to the cruel Dragon Lord to stop the deadly dragon attacks on their village. She soon accepts her fate willingly after experiencing pleasure at the hands of the tall, dark, and cruel beast.


Cheri Red

Office politics are tricky enough, but when you throw in a ménage, there’s all kinds of leg room for trouble. But what's a girl to do when her body's needs far surpass the risks of spending her off time in the arms of two sexy bosses? Cheri has much to lose if anyone suspects that Tom and Dan are sharing her bed. The issue is, that the wetness between her thighs when they're near and the lust in both their gazes have a direct correlation with making her forget everything aside from how she feels when they touch her.


Her Personal Trainer

Cynthia and Josh have had a chaotic relationship in the past, to say the least, and now they’re strictly friends. The last thing Cynthia wants to do is to rekindle all those sexual feelings that snagged her heart before ending in an epic fail the last time. Only Josh isn't giving up on them yet. And he's determined not to let the past intrude on their future...

Exactly at midnight on May 5th, 2006 Mahogany Messeroux cast a spell to obtain the perfect man. She never dreamed the spell would deliver Acacius Montoya, a warrior straight from the Battle of Puebla, Mexico in 1862. For Mahogany, it was love at first sight. But-there is just one problem. The handsome Latino must return to his own time after every Cinco de Mayo and can only be summoned once a year. Five years later she discovers she has the opportunity of saving the man she loves and keeping him in her world on a regular basis, or so she thought. Acacius Montoya is doomed to repeat the same day at the Battle of Puebla for all eternity thanks to an evil warlock, Maximilian. The ebony bruja intervened just in time to save his soul from The Harvester. But who will save Mahogany from making a mistake that may cause her to miss the spiritual evolvement necessary in shaping her future as a person and a witch?


The Carpenter

Neglected and cheated on by a husband she no longer has feelings for, Ruby fantasizes often about Nathan McAllister. Her husband hired the sexy tattooed bald-headed man with the work- roughened hands months ago, and for the longest time she’s been in denial about the burning sensation the carpenter ignites deep inside of her. Will Ruby act on her desires for Nathan, or will she continue to indulge in her secret fantasies. 

Dark Lord and Master

Ever wonder what dreams and fantasies are made of? Some believe one mirrors the other. Perhaps a fantasy is based upon a dream you had one restless night and has presented itself to you in the form of a half man, half beast, conjured by the darkest depths of your imagination. Once this being has come into manifestation, will you have the power to deny him?

Author Interview with E.L.R. Jones

CK:  Hello folks! Today, welcome author E. L. R. Jones

 CK:  Where did you submit your first story? My first story was published on Amazon.com.

 CK:  Please, tell us, what are the pros and cons of being a published author? I love being a published author.  It is something that I enjoy immensely.  I have been dreaming of being a published author for quite some time now. The con, the only one that I can think of, is the criticism that has nothing to do with the work and does nothing but bash the author. 

 CK:  Would you do us the honor of providing a sneak peek of your most recent project, if possible?

If what he said was him being truthful, telling her the honest truth, then there were such things as gods and goddesses.  If what he told her was actual fact, then her dreams were real.  If he was finally explaining the exact meaning behind some of his more cryptic statements of, “I’m not exactly the man that you think I am” or “Reality can sometimes be a fluid word, depending on the viewer”, then Scarlett thought she wanted his balls on a platter.  If what he had been telling her was truth, then she had been dealing with Hades and not her dream guy, Aides.  She’d been sleeping with Hades.  She was pregnant with Hades’, the Lord and ruler of the Underworld’s, child.   It just couldn’t be her reality.  No, she was going to be sick.

 CK:  Please share one of your earlier novels with us. 

 I’ll share the two that are nearest and dearest to my heart.  Forbidden: A Prince’s Most Coveted Possession is my interracial spin on the Cinderella story.  Rayna, book 1 of The Norton Sisters series is a grouping of books that follow the lives of six women and their journey into love; even if it is kicking and screaming in some cases.  The link to the trailer is here: http://elrjonesauthor.webs.com/ The trailer is on the main page.

CK:  What are your future goals?

This year’s goal is to complete all the works that my overly ambitious self said that I would.  I would love to be on the N.Y. or USA Today Bestseller listing.

CK:  If your books were turned into a movie, but producers wanted the heroine to be white and the hero black, would you allow that?

Lol! I could handle it.  I would have to change my outlook of the characters since most are black women and white men, but I could deal.

CK:  What are your hobbies?

When I’m not promoting or writing, then I’m reading, watching movies or hanging out with my family.

CK:  How do you unwind?

That’s easy.  I lose myself in a good book or a movie.

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

My characters stem from my imagination and the dreams that they come from.  Some have situations that come from a situation that I may have dealt with or a friend has, but imagination mostly.

CK:  Do you allow your muse to take total control, or do you create an outline before writing? 

I could outline and write down where I plotted a story will go, but 9.9 times out of 10 the “muse” or character (s) tell me where their story is going.  It is so NOT the other way around.

CK:  What methods of research do you utilize? I know, I know! The internet is available, but do you scour the library as well? LOL

 I utilize the internet greatly, but there are times that I need to go to a book that I own or talk to a person for fact finding.  Of course, the internet is my greatest resource when I can’t find the book that I know I have. LOL.

CK:  Inquiring minds what to know, where can you be found on the internet?

See below.

CK: What advice would you like to pass on to aspiring authors?

My advice to aspiring authors comes in triplicate: 1. Research.  Know your options, your audience and what genre (s) you want to deal with.  2. Make contact with authors in your genre.  You’d be surprised who responds.  Some might even be willing to send you some leads. 3. Make the right contacts.  Networking is one of the greatest things that you could do for yourself.  Use social media to your advantage.  If you blog, then utilize that to build your following by sharing some of your work there first before publishing.

 E.L.R. Jones, thank you so much for sharing.

New Release ~ Pearl's Protector ~

Divorcee Pearl Gordon’s worse nightmares manifest into reality one night when an intruder breaks into her home. The next day, she calls upon the services of a man she shied away from and eventually discovers comfort in his arms. When the intruder returns, she’s forced to deal with the results of a hasty decision she made months ago. 

Wolf shifter Nicholas Wolford realizes he’s been given a second chance to be with the woman he let slip through his fingers many years ago. When he comes face to face with Pearl, there’s no denying they’re fated soul mates. 

The overwhelming urge to protect her from the beast prowling her property is undeniable. When it’s all said and done, Pearl called on Nicholas to repair the damages to her home, but can he help heal the damage made to her mind and spirit? 


Chapter One

A loud crash jarred Pearl Gordon out of her sleep. Heart beating loudly, she glanced over at the clock to see that it was almost three in the morning. She jumped when she heard the sound of shattering glass.

Fearing for her life, she leapt out of bed, crept over to the bedroom door and locked it, then did the same with the second entrance leading from her bedroom, through her large walk-in closet, and into the bathroom. With shaky hands, she picked up her cell phone from the nightstand, slipped into her large walk-in closet and dialed 9-1-1.

“Raven’s Falls Emergency, what is the nature of this call?”

“There’s an intruder in my house,” she whispered into the phone. “Please hurry!”

“What is your name and address ma’am?”

“Pearl Gordon. 69 Wolfbane Terrace.”

“Please try to remain calm ma’am. Are you alone?”

“Yes. I’m so scared.”

“I’m dispatching a car out to you right now. I’ll remain on the line with you.”

“Thank you.”

“Is there anyone else in the home with you ma’am?”

“No.”

“Where are you?”

Another loud noise struck terror in her heart. Her blood ran cold because the intruder sounded like he was now downstairs in the living room. “I’m in my closet.” she whispered. “Someone’s in my living room. Before it sounded like they were in my basement, but, oh my God, they’re coming to get me.”

“Ma’am.” The woman’s soothing voice filtered over the phone. “Please listen to me and try to remain calm. Don’t say a thing.”

Scared to move, Pearl sat huddled on a pair of her shoes. She wiped her sweaty palm on her nightgown.

“How long?” she whispered into the phone.

“An officer will arrive on the scene in approximately ten to twelve minutes.”

Pearl squeezed her eyes shut. She probably didn’t have twenty minutes and wished she were in any situation but this one. Her breathing intensified when she heard the stairs creaking.

Pearl shivered at the increasingly horrific images of being murdered that rushed through her mind and wished she hadn’t left her wooden baseball bat in the corner of the dining room. She’d have no problem cracking someone else’s skull open to save her life. She reached down to grip one of her stilettos she was sitting on. If the police didn’t make it in time, she’d put the intruder’s eye out.

In an effort to be perfectly quiet, she’d actually forgotten to breathe. Apparently, she was being robbed. If she had taken a vacation like she’d planned, she’d be safe in Cancun instead of preparing to meet her maker.

As tears streamed down her face, she clamped a hand over her mouth to muffle her sobs. When she heard the doorknob jiggle, she thought she would die. Thank God she’d locked both doors. The intruder seemed pissed because he was now trying to break the door down.

“Ma’am, we have two cars approaching your home.”

She heard the person walk slowly through the hallway to the bathroom door, which led into her bedroom. Cold chills settled over her body when he jiggled the lock and, discovering that he couldn’t get in, began banging on the door.

The intruder growled. Next, she heard the sound of a zipper opening. Pearl wrinkled her nose in disgust when she heard what sounded like him pissing on the bathroom door.

In the distance, she heard the approaching of the police car. He must have heard it, too. Cursing, he quickly zipped his pants. His rapid footsteps carried him back the way he came.

“Ma’am, are you still with me?”

“Yes,” Pearl said breathlessly. “He’s gone.”

“The police officers are right outside your home.”

“Thank God,” Unable to move, she began crying out loud as a sudden wave of relief swept over her. The officers began yelling her name. A sliver of light suddenly filtered beneath her door.

“Ms. Gordon?”

She managed to crawl out of the closet. Legs feeling like lead, she limped over to the bedroom door and unlocked it.

“Ms. Gordon, are you okay?”

She shook her head and passed out.

Excerpt From Chasing Dawn:

Who could have tripped the silent alarm? The question haunted him. He had double-checked both the alarm and door before leaving.

Maybe it’s Dawn, he joked.

Reaching the shop, Chase inspected the front entrance and plate-glass window, but saw no obvious damage. He unlocked the door and pushed it open. A red light flashed on the security panel, indicating the back door was open. In case the burglar was still here, he grabbed a replica of Thor’s hammer. He turned off the alarm and tiptoed toward the back. Chase stopped short.

There was a gaping hole in the center of the room that housed Dawn. Chase raced over and peeked inside. She was gone. The hairs of his neck stood on edge. Reaching around the splintered wood, he turned on the light. The room was empty. Of course, she would blow a hole in the wall. It was a pocket door that opened with a hidden panel. But to see it in person… Man alive!

Panicking, he backed away, knocking over a box. What? How?

Chase’s heart pounded as he crept toward the back. At first, there was resistance on the knob; then it creaked opened. Dawn stood on the other side. Wind whipped her hair around her shoulders. Her breasts heaved beneath her leather jumpsuit. His gaze wandered to her erect nipples but he looked away. The toy hammer slipped from his hand. A while back, he and his buddies in the Dawn of the Day chat room had fantasized about what they’d do upon meeting Dawn in person. Chase had bragged he’d be cool as an ice cube, but he had lied. He was about to explode.

“Dawn?”

Suddenly, Chase was on fire. A current of electricity exited Dawn’s hands and entered him. Clutching his chest, Chase fell to his knees. Dawn vaulted over him toward the entrance. On reflex, he grabbed her ankle. She didn’t fall or stumble. Instead, she pivoted in midair and kicked him in his face. With a grunt, he released her and fell onto his back. Dawn’s boots clicked against the pavement as she rushed through the opening.

Cool.

Chase climbed to his feet and stumbled through the back door. He had to stop her. “Dawn. I don’t want to—”

A sucker punch knocked him on his back. He blacked out. When he came to, Dawn hovered over him like an angel. Chase gazed at her high cheekbones and full lips. Even in the darkness, he could make out her blue eyes. His heart fluttered. For years, he had fantasized about waking up to her face. He started to get up but was stopped by her foot on his chest. Gingerly, he lay back against the carpet.

“Identify yourself, villain,” she commanded.

“I’m not a villain. My name is Chase. Chase Donovan.”

“Chase? That’s an ordinary name for a villain.”

“I’m not a villain.”

Bending, she dug her heel into his chest. He flinched. Chase tried to disarm her with a smile, but judging by her stern look, she was unimpressed.

“What is your motive?” she asked.

“I don’t have one.”

Tilting her head, she studied him. What did she see? He hoped she would understand he wouldn’t hurt her. Dawn’s expression softened but she didn’t remove her foot from his chest.

“You say you have no motive,” she said. “Yet you are holding me captive.”

“What? No.”

“Why was I being imprisoned in that tiny room?”

“Until a few moments ago, you were a statue.”

Dawn raised an eyebrow. “Statue?”

Chase nodded. He saw wheels turning in her head, but Dawn clearly didn’t trust him. He couldn’t breathe. Not just because she was standing on his chest, but because she was the most beautiful woman he’d ever laid eyes on. She took her foot from his chest, picked him up by the collar and set him on his feet. Damn. Chase was a soldier but this woman could snap him like a twig. And that turned him on. He straightened his clothing. When he looked at her, Dawn’s hands were balled into fists. Her hands shimmered in sparks of white and blue electricity. Chase gulped.

“Talk,” she commanded. “What’s this about me being a statue?”

“I made you. Well, I made a likeness of you to display in my store. I know I could’ve just bought you online, but I thought it would be fun and I’m trying to find a new hobby.”

She gazed at him from head to toe. “Store? This isn’t the library of your lair?”

“No. I don’t have a lair. I mean, I have a townhouse out in Vienna, but—” He paused. “Wait. How did you come to life?”

“My guess is this.” Dawn motioned to the locket around her neck. “The turquoise is a magic stone from my homeland. It’s said if you wish upon it, and your intentions are pure, it will give you the desires of your heart.”

Chase nodded. At the moment, his thoughts weren’t pure. He had to fight himself not to gather her in his arms and make love to her. His heartbeat was slow and steady, but watching her breasts heave had blood rushing to his groin. Glancing away, he tried to think of something other than the woman of his dreams standing in front of him. His erection, however, wasn’t going away.
