Six Sentence Sunday

Salvation, the latest in the Three's Allowed series is scheduled for release this Friday, July 1. It seems only right that this week's Six Sentence Sunday excerpt come from that book.

This is a scene between Max and Marcus. Marcus loves Max, and not in the platonic sense of the word, but he's always respected Max's boundaries. Now it looks as if those walls are about to fall down.

Six Sentence Sunday:

Marcus looked at Max a long time. His friend’s face was flush with desire, his inner submissive streak glowing a mile wide. His words had reached past Max’s consistently hetero preference and had yanked him up by the short hairs. Fuck.

Feeling a bit breathless himself, he asked, “I don’t have a sub any more, Max. Who did you have in mind?”

Here's the whole book blurb:

Marcus and Max own Maximillian's, the hottest and most exclusive club in town. The only invitation harder to come by is to their ultra private BDSM club, After Hours. Max is the face of the club, Marcus, the silent partner. But when Max decides to offer a class on the Art of Domination, there's only one Master fit for the job: Marcus. And for the first time in all the years they've known each other, Max is ready to play Marcus' way, with no holds barred. Jolynn is at a crossroad in life. She has a terrific new job, but her lover left her, and she can't help feeling she needs something more in her personal life. When she finds an invitation to After Hours, she jumps at the chance, wondering if she has what it takes to play the Dom/sub game. By the time Jolynn realizes she knows the mysterious Master, it's already too late, she's under his spell. But would a true Master leave her bloody and beaten unconscious? Marcus believes someone deliberately lured Jolynn to the club to try to kill her, but will she trust him and Max enough to let them help her? Or will the killer find her first?

More from Summer's Hottest Hero

Well, I did it. I had to pick one of the men to represent the book. Readers know that both Michael and Graeme each are strong characters, with honorable intentions who would do anything to protect those they love. Especially Lizzie.

It was painful, and I think I changed my mind a dozen times, but let me present the hero from Rescued who will compete for the title of Summer's Hottest Hero:

Hero's name: Michael Enwright

Profession: President and CEO, Enwright Security

Physical description: Michael is a powerful-looking man, with broad shoulders, muscled arms, and well-developed thighs. He often keeps his shoulder-length black hair tied back, revealing a face with strong features, a perfectly straight nose, full, kissable lips, and steely blue eyes.

Special skills: Michael cooks, gives full body massages, designed his own luxury home, and is an expert at installing security systems at remote cabins. A geek at heart, Michael made millions developing high-tech security solutions for global corporations and secret government agencies. He isn’t adverse to a little blackmail for the right reasons, and will use any of his personal or company resources, including the Secretary of Homeland Security, to rescue his lover from a sociopathic murderer and get him the care he needs.

Quote: “Seems to me, that if anyone gets kissed, it’s supposed to be the hero, and I believe that was me.”


That quote seemed to sum everything up nicely, don't you think?

Summer’s Hottest Hero at ARe

I just received the unbelievable news that Rescued, Book 2 in the Three’s Allowed Series has been selected for the Summer's Hottest Hero Contest at All Romance eBooks in July! 

This is such an honor, and I hope that all the fans of both Michael and Graeme understand that I could only pick one of the men for the contest.

More deets to follow, but make sure you vote, there are prizes!

ROUND 1 - Meet the Heroes - July 1 - July 7
PRIZE AWARDED: One random voter will receive a $25.00 gift certificate 32 Hero's will be divided into 16 pairs.
 
Readers will get to vote for 1 Hero in each pair. The winner of each pairing will advance to the next level.

Elizabeth Ashford tries to escape her wife-beating husband before he kills her, by running into the wilderness near a highway rest area. Michael Enwright is a self-made millionaire and expert in high tech security. At the first rest stop of his long overdue sabbatical, he sees the fleeing woman and intervenes, saving Elizabeth’s life, while nearly losing his own.

Unfortunately, Michael’s help is misinterpreted by the local Sheriff, Graeme Kennedy, who has Michael handcuffed and face down in the dirt before Elizabeth can set him straight. In order to protect the only woman he ever loved, Graeme is forced to work with Michael and bring both of them to his cabin for protection.

Graeme finally has Elizabeth under his roof, right where he’s always wanted her. So why is he jacking off to visions of the drop dead gorgeous and take-charge Michael? Some things never change.

Check back later for more peeks at Rescued.
