Knowing His Secret! #Erotica #Romance #Kindle

I'm thrilled to welcome K.C. Falls to my blog today! Here's the blurb and an excerpt from her sexy erotic contemporary romance, KNOWING HIS SECRET!



BLURB:

He looked like the kind of man even my mother would call smokin' hot. Eventually, she did.

He felt like the kind of man who didn't just break the rules, but made new ones. He led and it was follow or get out of the way.

Why did a billionaire with a voice like liquid silk and a face like a bad angel take a second look at a girl in no-name jeans, with a fifteen-dollar haircut and a beat up car she calls her "Eep" because the 'J' fell off long ago?

I didn't want to know why and when I thought I knew I didn't want to admit it. By the time I found his secret, it was already too late. His passion had me hooked like a drug. It didn't hurt that he pulled the people I love the most out of harm's way. A girl can get used to a knight in shining armor even when the armor has some very large dents in it.

Excerpt:


There was no way around it. I was going home to Brooklyn and back to the familiar Park Slope neighborhood where Jenn and I grew up. Jenn would be at Bennington, a long way from home. Sometimes the thought of being without my best buddy was enough to make me tear up. It had to happen someday, but that wasn't much comfort to me as the hours and days counted down to the end of the era--Jenn and Raina, BFF's.

We took the opposite shift jobs with the separation in mind. Both of us knew we'd have to wean ourselves off of our constant companionship. We had literally been passing in the halls for weeks with me at Tanglewood and her night work with the theater.

I was kind of quiet as we watched an hour of some Adam Sandler movie we'd both seen a half dozen times. Jenn asked me what was on my mind.

"Oh, a couple of things."

"Like?"

"Like how much I'm not looking forward to moving back with mom and dad."

"I hear you. I love your parents, but it does seem like a step backwards."

"And how much I'm going to miss you."

"Aw, Raina, I'm gonna miss you, too. You're the only sister I've got." She patted me affectionately on my leg. Jenn was from a family of three boys and her. Mine was all girls, me being the youngest of three.

"And about . . ."

"What?"

"Tristan King. I think I've got a crush on him."

Jenn laughed so hard I thought she was going to choke. "Honey, Tristan King cannot even *spell* middle class. I'm quite sure he considers Brooklyn only a small step up from Armpit, Idaho."

"You think he's so shallow that he wouldn't . . ."

"Raina, I don't think, I know. Wait 'til you start seeing all the other players in the drama of our Little Theater family. None of the 'queens' are going to let you near Tristan. He's one of *theirs*."



K.C. Falls is a native of New York who traded the Big Apple for Big Sky country. Her Montana ranch is home to a menagerie of animals including one human male she shamelessly uses for inspiration. Her tales are sharp-edged stories with strong sexy heroes and the women they can't resist.

K.C. finds time to feed the chickens, study Native Americana (she's part Cheyenne--that's what the 'C' stands for) and cook incredible food because there isn't a restaurant around for many miles. She writes in between bites.

K.C. loves to hear from readers, so please feel free to follow her on any of her social media channels. And don't forget to check out her website. You can sign up to her mailing list there, to hear about new releases and any promotional sales coming up. You can also find some backstory for her current and future works.

A #Romantic #Thriller Series NOT TO MISS!


Thanks so much for inviting me to be your guest today, Alisha. I’m pleased to announce the release of BAD VIBES, the third novel in my romantic thriller series: THE EDGE OF TEXAS.

This series was inspired by my many visits to the semi-tropical setting on the Texas coast, about 25 miles north of our border with Mexico. This is a popular area for spring breakers and also for older people who escape the harsh winters up north to have a second home in the sunny south. I never encountered anything sinister in my many years of sailing off this beach, but I’m a romantic suspense writer and I can’t help it if my brain takes some dark pathways in my exploration of “what-ifs”.

BLURB:
When government agent Mike “The Iceman” Burke invades her South Padre Island turf, Deputy Darla Calhoun is assigned as liaison officer to his team. Her skills as a sniper come in handy when a gang of human traffickers strikes close to home, kidnapping local women including her best friend. Darla is recovering from her husband’s suicide and trying to be a good parent to her twin sons. The ICE assignment takes her out of her misery and plunges her into a dangerous mission and a steamy affair. Mike and Darla tear up and down the Intracoastal Waterway in search of the kidnappers and the captive women while Rafael and Javier conduct their own investigation. Will they rescue the captive women or will the kidnappers slaughter them as they have done in the past? Two teams race to find the answers before it's too late.

Darla arrests a vagrant, hanging around the marina, but after he’s cleaned up, she discovers a hunky, hard-body with a smoldering gaze hidden beneath the filthy rags. He turns out to be a federal agent working undercover. He’s after a gang of human traffickers using the Intracoastal Waterway to bring sex slaves into the United States from Mexico. Rafael assigns Darla as liaison officer to work with the feds, bringing her face-to-face with the “Iceman”, Mike Burke, the undercover agent she arrested. Darla, Mike and his partner tear up and down the Intracoastal Waterway in pursuit of the human traffickers, but when two local women disappear, the search becomes personal.

The following excerpt takes place the morning after Darla has spent her first night aboard the boat with the team of feds on loan to ICE.

EXCERPT:
Mike leaned against the railing, trying to make his coffee last as long as possible while he made small talk with Darla.
The sheriff’s man was definitely all woman.
A light sleeper, he had awakened when Darla first started stirring. In the dim light of the cabin, he’d enjoyed the whole show.
He grinned down at her. It was only fair, after all. He’d stripped for her.
“Come and get it,” Freddy called. “It’s the specialty of the house.”
Mike whispered, “Tacos ala Freddy.”
Darla laughed and he felt a strange twinge...Strange for him. He had the desire to take her in his arms and kiss her...for starters. Her fresh, natural beauty was intoxicating. He thrust his hands in his pockets to keep from touching her.
“What?” she asked.
He shook his head. “Nothing.” What was he thinking? He was on assignment and it had nothing to do with jumping on the lovely little deputy. But, man! She was putting out some strong vibes.
I’m hallucinating! She almost broke my fingers off last night when she thought I might touch her. But look at her. All soft and pretty this morning.
He tried to clear the thought from his head. Casting about for a safe topic of conversation, he seized on the one thing he knew about her. “Do you sail?” he asked, knowing the answer.
“All my life. My dad always had a sailboat of some kind. He raised all of his kids to love the water.”
Mike grinned. “Good man! If I ever have kids, I hope to do the same.”
She smiled up at him. “No family?”
He shook his head. “This job is murder on relationships.”
“I can imagine. You move around a lot?”
“I’m based in Washington, DC, but my assignments take me all over the world.”
She sighed. “That sounds exciting. I’ve never been anywhere.” Her brow furrowed. “And I guess I’ll never get to go.”
“Why not?” He turned to give her his full attention.
“I have two young sons. Raising them to become good men has become my prime objective.”
Mike felt a tightness in his chest. “Good objective.”
“They’re worth it.”
He wished his mother had felt that way about him instead of dumping him on his grandfather. She left town with a musician who’d played one night at a local bar. His grandfather, a master carpenter, had given him all the basics and left him to his own devices. The upside was that he developed a trade he could fall back on. Maybe someday he would build something again.
Scholarships had earned him a degree in Political Science before he’d joined the Marine Corps. After six years in Force Recon, he’d gone into government service of another kind. His assignments had taken him to many exotic locales, but never had he worked in such close proximity to a beautiful woman. He wondered if the stirrings he was feeling would get in the way of his accomplishing his objectives.

The order of this series is: 1. BAD MEDICINE, 2. BAD KARMA 3. BAD VIBES 4. BAD DREAMS(Under Construction)

Virtual Book Tour ~ Fezariu's Epiphany ~ An Interview with Vintaro


Interview with Vintaro from Fezariu’s Epiphany

Alisha: Tell us a little about yourself?

Vintaro: My name is Vintaro and I’m a toldere from the island of Lemanto. Many in Elenchera reckon that we’re an assertive and outspoken bunch but they clearly don’t know us at all. I don’t think we talk too much or outstay our welcome. You’re certainly not having any trouble getting a word in are you?

Alisha: Indeed! What part do you play in the novel, Fezariu’s Epiphany?

Vintaro:I have issues with that title for a start. I think my name should be in there somewhere, don’t you? I come into the story in the second part. I left Lemanto to join the Merelax Mercenaries and when I arrived at Archangel University and found a line of recruits standing in the rain I thought to myself, “I’m not standing at the back when there’s drier spots towards the front.” Under the shelter of the overhanging rooftops of the university I bumped into Fezariu, Tessera and Arshea. We soon became friends, inseparable you might say.

Alisha: Author David M. Brown has described your character as offering light relief in the novel. How would you respond to that?

Vintaro: I think he’s complimenting me. Secretly, I think he likes me the best. I’m certainly the funniest character in the book, that’s for sure, but I have a big part to play as well. Fezariu, Tessera, Arshea and I fight and bleed together out on the colonies. Ours is a solid bond of friendship and camaraderie that cannot be broken. I never imagined I could meet such people, especially in the mercenaries. Each of us has a story and although Fezariu’s tale is central to the novel each of us have something to say, all of us matter to this story.

Alisha: What are your thoughts on a Vintaro fan club? Any sign of your own spin-off?

Vintaro: If the public wish to honour me with a fan club then I would be most grateful but I’m just happy knowing many readers have enjoyed my contribution to the novel. They have also taken a shine to Tessera, who is an amazing mercenary, Fezariu of course, and his mother Jessamine. A spin-off with me as the main character sounds interesting. I’ll see what David M. Brown comes up with. He’s working hard on a new novel, A World Apart, now.

Alisha: Is there anything else you want to add about Fezariu’s Epiphany?

Vintaro: Only that I hope readers enjoy the book. I’m just one of many characters within its pages. Fezariu is the main man, that’s without question, and he’s one of the finest men I’ve ever met. His story, as difficult as it is, is one you should consider hearing. Keep your fingers crossed for that spin-off. I think I’d make a dashing protagonist.



About the Author:David M. Brown was born in Barnsley in 1982 and first conceived the idea of Elenchera in college. His love of history and English led him to read these subjects at Huddersfield University. David is inspired by medieval history, Norse mythology and Japanese role-playing video games and anime films. He lives in Huddersfield with his wife Donna and their six rescue cats.
