Knocking Boots byWillow Winters & Vivian Wood

Title: Knocking Boots: A Sexy Standalone Contemporary 

Authors: Willow Winters & Vivian Wood 

Genre: Contemporary Romance 

It started as a bet; now I don’t want to stop.

I was engaged once, and I learned my lesson. That’ll never happen again. Women come and go, but my bar is all I give a damn about. F*ck commitment. All I need is one night. It’s just for fun, and then it’s over.

Until she walked into my bar. My sweetheart.

Gorgeous from head to toe, she’s a woman who knows exactly what she wants. The whole nine yards, complete with a picket fence… not a southern bartender with commitment issues.

Maybe it was the challenge that drew me to her… maybe it was something else.

It was harmless flirting at first. Then it turned into a drunken deal.
She’s supposed to play my girlfriend until my sister’s wedding, just to get my family off my back.

Every day we get closer to the wedding, it’s harder and harder to deny what I’m feeling.
But she never wanted me to begin with. It was just a stupid bet.

She never told me what she wanted in return. I know what she’s desperate for though, a baby. A family to call her own.

I’m not ready to settle down, but damn I want to hold on to her for just a little longer.
But I can’t let "just a little longer" turn into forever.

She blushes and looks away. I wait for her. I just want her to open up to me. To talk to me. My fingers trail back down to her entrance and back up to her clit, a shudder running through her body.

 “Please,” she moans into the air, her back bowing as she tries to grind her pussy into my hand. I smile down at her. “Please what?”

“Please…” she hesitates to answer as her eyes dart behind me again. I look over my shoulder, but no one’s there. 

“I’m not going to let anyone see,” I tell her firmly. If that’s what she’s scared about, we’ll be alright. We’re far enough away that no one’s going to catch us and if they come back here, I’ll be blocking their view. Her blue eyes flick to mine.

 “Please get me off.” My dick turns to stone at her asking me that. I can feel my zipper against my dick and I’m desperate to readjust it, but I can’t move my hand away from her pussy. “Anything for you,” I tell her in an even voice. How it’s not strained, I don’t know.
“Mmmhm. I think you need to unwind,” he says. “You’re so tense all the time.” “And you have an idea how I should unwind?” I say, opening my eyes. I already know what his idea is. 

I had the strength to walk away at the park… but like a moth to a flame, I came right back.

 A wicked grin lights up his features. It makes my toes want to curl. “I do. I think you just need to get laid.”

Willow Winters:  I like my action hot and my bad boys hotter. And I don't hold back on either one in my writing.  I'm so happy to be a #1 Contemporary Bestselling Romance Author. I'm so grateful and honored!  I actually started writing after having my little girl, Evie, December 2015. All during my pregnancy with her I read. I only wanted to read romance, and I read EVERYTHING. I would read a book a day — sometimes two.  In January 2016 I was staying up late with her and just thinking of all these stories.  They came to me constantly. And I finally sat down and just started writing. I always wanted to do it so I figured, why not? I never thought I would reach this point of success, to be honest. It’s insane to me that I have so many fans. And I love each and every one of them for all of their support.

Vivian Wood likes to write about troubled, deeply flawed alpha males and the fiery, kick-ass women who bring them to their knees. 
Vivian's lasting motto in romance is a quote from a favorite song: "Soulmates never die."

A Way Back Into Love by Veronica Thatcher

What books and/or authors helped to influence you and turn you into the writer you are today?

I like to think that the avid reader (and aspiring writer) within me are hereditary. Both my parents were bookworms, my dad more so than my mom. He was the one who introduced me to the world of fiction when I was a kid. My childhood home was a two-storey house with a five-case bookshelf stacked with books in each and every single room. That’s how big of a bookworm my dad was. His collection of books was so extensive that it was sufficient to open a well-stocked mini-library in our house.

So, due to my dad’s positive influence, I grew up on all the well-known classics of English literature. Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, Peter Pan, Harry Potter, King Solomon were the common names in our household during my childhood. By the time I was in the fifth grade, I had devoured books by writers like Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Ruskin Bond, H.G. Wells, Jonathan Swift, and Jules Verne. My favourite writer during my pre-teen years was Jules Verne. His classic books, Around the World in Eighty Days, 20000 Leagues Under the Sea and Journey to the Center of the Earth, changed my life and my reading tastes. His writing style quickly became my all-time favourite due to his incredible diction and description, his narrations and his use of an extensive vocabulary in the books. I like to believe that my diction has been highly influenced by Verne’s diction in the book Around the World in Eighty Days. My vocabulary was quite poor before reading that book, and I distinctly remember that I had to open up the dictionary every five minutes while reading that literary masterpiece, much to my exhilaration! Such elegance and sophistication in his words.

Ruskin Bond is another favourite author of mine. His writing style is somewhat opposite to Verne’s writing style. As opposed to Verne’s grandiloquence, Bond’s writing is simple, minimalistic and reader friendly, yet captivating at the same time. And I’ve always loved Bond’s dialogue! So appealing and engaging. Hooks the reader from line one. Some of my favourite stories by Bond are The Blue Umbrella, Angry River and of course, one of his most popular stories, Grandfather’s Private Zoo. 

Another novel that impinged on me greatly in my childhood days was The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Till date, it is my favourite piece of children’s literature. Maybe one of the reasons for that is the fact that I could relate to Mary’s character and personality very well. I’m an avowed pessimist, and I was always a very petulant child. The slow, beautiful transformation in Mary’s personality – the way she gradually morphed from a rude, aggressive, bitter child to a caring, compassionate one – made me believe that I could become a better person in my life as well. And I like to believe I did. I don’t know whether people will agree with me on this, but to this date, I perceive this literary piece by Burnett as one of the strongest inspirational stories ever written.

As I slowly entered my teenage years, I grew an “unhealthy” obsession, according to my parents, for the Harry Potter series. I still remember what my frequent words during my teen years were. ‘I can sacrifice my life for Harry Potter if I have to.’ And I did. I spent every waking moment poring over the fantastic books. I used to wake up in the middle of the night and start re-reading any of the books in the series from the middle, despite the fact that I had read them over and over again about hundreds of times. I never got bored of re-reading Harry Potter. It didn’t matter that I knew exactly what was going to happen in the book. It was evermore enchanting, evermore exciting, and evermore sensational to me. When my parents used to query if I got bored of re-reading the same series over and over again, I used to say, “It’s not possible to get bored of Harry Potter. If someone gets bored of it, he or she is completely insane.” And God knows I still believe that with all my heart!

However, my crazy obsession with Harry Potter came to an abrupt end in my sweet sixteen, when I was introduced to a brand new world, a world that had been unknown to me so far in my life – the world of romantic fiction. Though, I was not introduced to the world of romantic literature by Nora Roberts or Sylvia Day. Not at all. My introduction to romantic literature was through the controversial and sometimes disdained subject of fanfiction. As opposed to my childhood, which was spent reading all the classic works of English literature, I spent my late teen years perusing the writings of unknown, but still amazingly talented fanfiction writers. One such fanfiction and now an indie author who influenced me greatly is the crazy talented Deb Rotuno. Her words are, in short, “little droplets of heaven.” She might not be a bestselling author yet, but I have no doubt that she will be, sometime soon in the future.

Since we are now talking about the genre I write – romance – there are a couple of other authors and their books that I just have to mention. A romance that changed my outlook towards life – a romance that made me laugh, cry, smile and sniffle – a book that made me feel a vortex of emotions in the span of only a few weeks, The Fault in Our Stars by the incredibly talented John Green. Oh my my, what a book! Actually, when I think of it, it’s more than just a book. It’s a heart-wrenching tale of true love that was the first to make me believe in soulmates and destiny. I can never read it without crying a river. Beautiful, soul-touching, and simply ineffable.

Another touching romance that I read at an extremely young age was Love Story by Erich Segal. I remember when and how I read that book. I was in the third or fourth grade, and I had fortuitously landed my hands on that book from my dad’s study. I used to sneak up to dad’s study during the day, when he and my mom were at work, and stealthily read that amazing tale of eternal love. I know what you must be thinking – I was too young to fully understand the power of those words. I agree. I was too young. But I was also very very precocious. (laughs) 

Brida by the phenomenal author Paulo Coelho was one of the few romance novels that I had read in my childhood, when I was not so eagerly into romantic fiction and only read them occasionally. I was in the seventh grade, and we were travelling in the train. I was bored out of mind at the lack of things to do during the journey, and to help me come out of my funk, Dad went and bought the book for me from one of the stalls at the station. I vividly remember how I spent the rest of my to and fro journey devouring Coelho’s words. A tale of love and a journey of finding your soulmate – your other half, it was my introduction to the concept of soulmates and the fact that we can, in fact, have more than one soulmate in our lives. That book is the core and foundation to my present, firmly cemented belief in soulmates and magic and true love in today’s world. 

When talking of romance novels that influenced me and my writing, I also have to mention The Stars Shine Down by Sidney Sheldon and Revolution 2020 by Chetan Bhagat. Though the former is primarily a thriller, the romantic elements and plotlines in it resonated with me greatly. It was also one of the very first novels that I had read with a romantic plotline (though, my secret tango with romance had started way before that, as you all now know, after reading the last paragraph.) 
Bhagat’s tale of love, ambition and friendship in a country of ruthless competition and corruption at educational and administrational levels is a novel that truly made me pause and think things through. His words and symbolisms are incredibly powerful, and it goes without saying that they manage to move the masses. Our youth needs more writers like Bhagat to open their eyes and help them discover their potential and hidden capabilities.

While still forging ahead with that, majoring in pre-med in college, she unwittingly stumbled upon a new dream—becoming a published author.

She also deems chocolates her boyfriend, Patrick Dempsey the love of her life, and Friends her life!

Scandal by Isabella Starling & Piper Hart

Title: Scandal

Authors: Isabella Starling & Piper Hart 

Genre: Romance

ASHER

Everyone’s got secrets.

Dirty little secrets.

But not like this. 

Chloe Carlyle is totally off-limits. The one girl I can’t touch. Her mother is about to marry my dad, her father is in prison for murdering my mom…and I want her more than anything. Yeah, I never said this wasn’t fucked up.

And things are about to get a whole lot more fucked up.

This town has seen a lot of scandals, but this one’s gonna blow them all out of the water…

CHLOE

A town like Claremont Bay is used to sinful scandal, but this latest one has shaken everyone to the core. My father has been accused of murdering his mistress, and my mother is marrying the man who put him in prison—Robert St Clair. Despite how messed up that is, it's not Robert I'm worried about. It's his son.

Asher St Clair.

He’s insufferable. Intoxicating. Impossibly handsome. 

I can’t fall for him. Can’t let him get under my skin. I have bigger things to worry about, like my father’s innocence. I’m the only one who believes he didn't kill that woman.

So who did?

The answer may lie closer to home than I know…

Her Best Friend's Dad by Penny Wylder

Title: Her Best Friend's Dad 

Author: Penny Wylder 

Genre: Romance 

I'm falling for my best friend's dad.

Moving back home was never my plan. Except here I am, struggling under my evil step-mom's crushing thumb while I look for work. I feel just like Cinderella, but I never expected my best friend's DAD to be my prince.
He's just as hot now as he was when I was a teen; maybe hotter. He's also rich and powerful, and when he offers me a job working under him at his company... I can't say no. I don't WANT to say no.
All our flirting is bad enough--we can't get caught, my best friend would hate me--but then we go too far.
Hiding our relationship was one thing...
How the hell do I hide a baby?

Penny Wylder's first full length novel! It's all the fun and filth you expect, just a lot more of it! This story has a romantic core and a happily ever after that will make you melt.

Amazon 

It isn’t proper for me to want my daughter’s best friend, a woman I’ve watched grow into an astonishing beauty. There is just something magic about Lia, something that makes my whole body throb with the need to get closer. She could easily become addictive. I know I should resist any temptation affecting me this strongly, but then I had to go and hire her.

What the fuck was I thinking? I am going to lose my mind, or at least my promise to myself to never sleep with an employee. Maybe that’s why the second thing I did after Lia left was call Jean last night. If Lia is my employee, I can do my damnedest to keep my rule. It would give me a buffer against the feelings that are already going well beyond lust and into a dangerous territory from just one encounter. Lia makes me hungry. It is more than lust; it is the hunger to provide for her, not in a paternal way, but to see that all her dreams are made reality. I know that Jean is not the nicest to her and never has been, and if it wouldn’t make things worse, I would throw my weight around as Jean’s boss to fix that. Jean is a great member of the R&D team, but not so much that I would be sad to see her go if it meant making Lia happy. It’s an employer’s market right now with more applicants than jobs. She would be easily replaced.

It is a dangerous move, I know, to bring Lia in as my secretary. I know she is the forbidden fruit, and that maybe this is my mid-life crisis starting to hit me, but I want her. “I need her,” I tell my reflection. “I have to have—”

“Mr. Huntsworth, your new office assistant has finished with human resources.” My chief of security sounds amused as his voice plays from the speaker on my desk.


She’s on her way up. The thought repeats itself in time with the aching in my cock.

“You wanted me to call you when she was being shown her way to the executive office floor.” The line goes silent. My fingernail catches on the red disc of a call button beside the vanity in my bathroom. I press it, wait for Brian to answer, and then thank him for the notice. There’s no time for me to get my libido in check, so the best I can do is sit down at my desk to hide the reaction Lia evokes from me.

I wait at my desk—one minute becomes two, and then it’s soon five minutes before I hear muffled voices outside of the security clearance down the hall. I try to focus on the paperwork in front of me. The chirp of a badge being swiped lights up a blue LED on the panel beside my phone, giving me a warning that someone will be entering. Only a handful of people have clearance to get in here, and most of those require the security guard in the hall or someone inside to buzz them in. I look up.


Lia stands before me, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. “Hi.” Her voice trembles before she steels herself and repeats it more surely. “Do I call you Mr. Huntsworth?” She has her head tilted down, and she looks up at me through the sweeping edge of her bangs. Her lips part, and the tip of her tongue glosses over them. She’s nervous, and I selfishly hope it’s because of me.


“Beck is fine unless I happen to be in a meeting. ‘Sir’ works too,” I tease.
Lia blushes before rolling her eyes. She even does that artfully. “Thank you for the job,
Beck.”

The way she says my name makes my cock throb. “I should be thanking you for accepting it, Lia.” I stand and offer her my hand. Her fingers are cool as they slip into my palm, and the shake we share is anything but innocent despite the chaste touch. I want her grip to be lower and firmer, and with the quick dropping of her eyes, I sense that her thoughts are moving in the same direction.

Penny Wylder writes just that-- wild romances. Happily Ever Afters are always better when they're a little dirty, so if you're looking for a page turner that will make you feel naughty in all the right places, jump right in and leave your panties at the door!
