Memorial Day Teaser Excerpt:
“Are you okay?” he asked and gently smacked her on the
back.
“I just swallowed liquid fire.” She took a deep breath
which only made the burn worse. She started to cough. It felt like she was
going to hack up a lung. Not that she could do much coughing with her ribcage
bound within a tight corset. Her cleavage was about to break free from the
neckline with his thumping her on the shoulder. When Brandon’s eyes raked over
her chest she swore she could feel his heated gaze blister her skin. She
chanced a glance down her front. OMFG!
The top of her nipples peeked over the edge of the
dress. He was only inches from her and unless he’d gone blind in the last two
seconds, he must’ve gotten an eyeful. She flashed a glance up to his face and affirmative.
Awful just got worse.
“Mia. Christ.” His gaze was glued to her boobs. His
nostrils flared as he stepped in front of her, and planted his hands on either
side of her on the bar.
She didn’t know if he was doing this to help shield her,
but she felt caged within his sculpted arms, especially when he refused to look
away. She was so close to him, a few paltry inches and they’d kiss.
Mortified by her dress and her desire to lock her lips
with him, she stuttered in a hoarse voice, “If you were a gentleman, you’d stop
staring.”
“Sweetheart, I am where you’re concerned. You’re still
seated and not tossed over my shoulder. Aren’t you? And let me tell you, I’m
tempted. Sorely, Mia.” Lifting his eyes, he wasn’t grinning but wore a look of
blatant ravenous lust. The hunger in his gaze was so hot, so fixed on her that
she felt herself melt.
“In case you need a reminder, it would do you well to
remember not to judge of book by the cover.”
Leaning incrementally closer, Brandon dipped his handsome face until he was eye level with her. “I
thrive on honesty. You’re unforgettable, Mia. Maybe the most beautiful woman I’ve
ever seen. Loosen up. This a private bondage club not meat market. No one will paw you, I promise.”
“That isn’t helping.” Could the floor crack open and
swallow her? Right now!
LEATHER AND LACE is FREE this Memorial Day weekend until May 31, 2016, so grab your copy.
Author Note:
This book and the series was lots of fun to
write. It involved researching the job and duties of a mental health counselor,
which Mia is studying to be in her quest to answer the thesis question as to why people are submissives. On a journey, she discovers the Art of Surrender with Brandon McLemore's help.

Series are a wonderful endeavor to write
since as each story evolves, the lives of each character is featured as
secondary characters or in cameo appearances. Brandon is a strong secondary
character beginning in book #1 Tempted by Trouble. He has the best line, the
one the tickles my funny bone in book #3 Badass is Back. Mia and Brandon appear
in books 5, 6, and again in books 9 & 10.
If you have any questions, feel free to
write.
Happy trails!
