Welcome to Saturday Sizzle With Author A.H. Scott!!

 

Grab your cups, glasses & goblets, ladies and gentlemen!  Let the elixir of amorous adventure, refreshing romance and erotic exploration wash over your heart, mind and soul! Take a break on this Summer day and get acquainted with me… 

 

 

My name is A.H. Scott and I'm an author of fiction and poetry. As an author, my words flow from feather to anvil, and also tender kisses to slightly kinky. I just go with the flow of pen and the taps against the keyboard.

 

Well, here's a little further about me. I reside in the Northeastern United States and I've always had a love of the written word. Imagination has taken my fledging writing career into places I could have never fathomed.

 

 

Her writing and art is just an extension of the passion she feels for living. Every day alive can bring something new into one beings heart and soul. Art can change the world. Be it through words, or images. Sometimes, a mixture of both can get a person to think and ponder the larger meaning of being beyond just the skin which we all live within. It could be something as simple as a single tear on a beach. Or, maybe it can be as enormous as the universe beyond the stars. It all depends on where you sit in your own psyche.

 

– My Philosophy –

"As an author, I enjoy letting my characters and plots that I've created get inside of the reader's heads. I make a promise to anyone that rolls the dice and catches a glimpse of my work that you will never be bored. Your eyes, mind and soul shall be thrilled. This is my bond to you, the reader. No simplicity ever from A.H. Scott. Always complexity is my main intent on anyone who reads my work." – A.H. Scott

“I want the reader to be affected in two ways – above the neck & below the belt”. – A.H. Scott

"I don't write for children. I write for adults". – A.H. Scott

"I believe art should be as enigmatic as the artist who creates it." A. H. Scott

"Silence is acceptance. Acceptance is conquest. Conquest is a rainbow obscured by a black cloud of contempt".

 "MY WORDS ARE MY CALLING CARD". – A.H. Scott

The things that inspire my writing is the tornado of emotions which swirld within the human soul. It would be easy to just write tender little love stories. And, don't get me wrong about this, I think writing romance is a wonderful thing. I love it.

 

Contemporary is one word I would use to describe the romantic fiction that I write. It gets into the complex relations that men and women face in today's world. Suspense and character conflict also are sprinkled throughout my varied works.

 

Yet, that is only the light side of my writing. But, sometimes I need to write something meatier to make my point.

 

Now, that's where erotica comes into play. Being more descriptive in the scenes of interaction between lovers is quite a thrill to spill those words across the screen. Not just for me as the writer, but for the reader, too.

 

Vivid is one word I would use to describe my own writing in the realm of erotica. Many of my erotic poems are on located on Facebook. I invite you to experience that spicy flavor of the sizzle that I've drizzled over there.

 

These are my chocolate drops of decadence…

AMBROSIAL MELODY

by

A.H. Scott

Working the night shift at the Wintergreen Diner in Bakersfield never seemed to be something life changing for me. But, in the fourth month of 1974, seedlings of adventure came into bloom.

A chance meeting burned a blistering memory into the heart of this California girl.

There was only one other waitress who worked at the diner. She and I had exchanged our work hours for that entire week. My brunette friend had plans with a new boyfriend in nearby Ontario.

Blondes having fun was far from reality for me, as I stacked coffee cups on a shelf in the supply room that night. Howling moans of Joe Cocker on a small transistor radio kept me company.

Swaying gently to "Delta Lady", my coral painted lips began to smile. I was brought out of my musical trance with the dinging of the pick-up bell on an outside counter at 10:35 pm.

"Pick up!" Cook in stained, off white t-shirt called out in a raspy voice. Vic Green was a former transplant from Brooklyn. A former boxer with several Golden Gloves wins under his belt; Green had purchased this eatery about fifteen years prior.

I pushed myself slowly through the swinging doors, "Vic? What table?"

"Ah, I'm glad the princess decided to bless me with her presence" Giving a belly laugh, he added "Lucky 7".

"Or, maybe craps" I pulled a trio of plates from that counter and placed them onto a black serving tray. There were two guys seated at the counter, cramming food into their mouths.

The place was almost bare, except for the men at the counter and a quartet that were sitting in the booth located in rear. With all the other empty booths and tables at the Wintergreen, it made me wonder why these customers were sitting all the way in the back at table seven.

Putting the serving tray onto the booth next to table seven, I still was a bit curious of why they sat there. A pair of men sat in the booth, on either side of a canary yellow table.

One of the men was older with a thinning comb-over. It always amazes that a man thinks no one will possibly know that he's losing his hair. But, it's not for me to judge. it's for me to place the order in front of him.

The balding man was definitely dressed in colors of Easter. White seersucker jacket and light blue pants, gave the image of spring being sprung in California, "Oh, here comes our order. Damn, I could eat a horse".

Wisecracks always lightened my workday and this was no different a moment of levity, "From your words, honey. It seems like I've come at the right time" Taking one of the three plates off the serving tray, "I've got a roasted chicken sandwich. Who wants the damage?"

Slender male in his middle 40's was seated next to the man of pastel colors spoke up, "That's mine" He began giggling like a schoolboy of decades gone by.

As I grabbed another plate, the customer in seersucker added, "Mine is surf and turf. Steak, haddock, Miss".

"Here you go, sir" I laid plate in front of him and began to turn to the final item on my serving tray. Not having paid much attention to the two men who were seated across from the others, I casually added, "And, which one of you two get the rings?"

Holding third plate in my hands, I got a closer look at these two male customers. They hadn't spoken a word to me. Yet, as I realized who they were, the silence of shock became a Wagnerian symphony all on its own.

Almost speechless, I stood there holding a plate full of Vic's greasy, onion rings in front of two of music's mystical masters. Oh, the heart beat a bit quicker. And, I'll admit that I got a little wetter, too.

Seeing my reaction to them, this customer smiled and spoke in a medium tone to me, "The rings are mine".

"Oh, such a lucky guy, huh?" My pearly whites, returned the smile, as I placed plate on the table, "It's a pity your seating partner is left out in the cold".

With those words escaping my lips, I was amazed that I was actually flirting with both of them. And, what happened next were the first strings of desires overture taking flight.

As an onion ring went into mouth, this man looked over to his colleague and laughed, "We gotta get you warmed up, buddy".

I actually pushed for a larger order, in hoping for a more substantial tip, "Are you sure you don't want something, sir?"

(Excerpt):

Prologue & Chapter One

Prologue

Romance is beyond the bounds of time.

Three years after Giacomo Casanova's release from Paris' Fort-l’Eveque in 1758, a nonchalant conversation between the prison's warden and a guard was overheard.

A 16-year-old jail cleaner, Pepon Larionne, was in the process of collecting garbage in the hallway outside of Lieutenant Hugo Arrieyenne's office, while the warden and longtime prison guard, Edgar DeSaviage continued speaking to each other inside.

Pepon was one of three men who had the task of cleaning the warden's office, guard tower, and guard barracks. This night, it was Larionne's job to handle the outer hallway, which led to Lieutenant Arrieyenne's office. The other two jail cleaners had already started going towards the barracks. This young man, who seemed an unlikely vessel of history, became Cupid's messenger.

It was at this moment in 1761, when Pepon's fate changed for the better. Lieutenant Arrieyenne spoke to Edgar DeSaviage about Casanova's imprisonment and release in 1758. Manon Balletti, one of Giacomo Casanova's great loves, procured his freedom with a pair of diamond earrings in 1758.

The fabled lover had received mercy from a long prison sentence at the bequest of a beautiful woman. And, this is the story which followed through the years.

Preparing his office for the cleaners, Lieutenant Hugo Arrieyenne and guard Edgar DeSaviage emptied out desk drawers onto the floor, revealing several varied sized items, including a small canvas satchel.

As Pepon entered the warden's office, he kept his head low and mouth shut in their presence. The lowly jail cleaner scooped up bits of food, papers, and that canvas satchel with his hands.

The warden and guard stood chuckling at the dirty work which Pepon had to accomplish as they turned their backs on him and went back to speaking about Casanova and the diamond earrings.

Finishing up the cleaning of Arrieyenne's office, Pepon excused himself and grasped a large canvas sack full of garbage. In the hallway outside of the office, another large sack of trash was gathered by Larionne. Pulling the sacks behind him, Pepon left through the lantern lit prison entrance.

Larionne joined up with his fellow jail cleaners in the courtyard near the guard barracks. He never told the others about the tale of Casanova and Manon Balletti's connection to Fort-l’Eveque. Yet, it remained in the back of his mind, while taking his share of the sacks of garbage down towards an incline to be dumped.

Something that the warden and guard didn't realize when tossing out the desk contents onto the floor was the small satchel that contained those precious items of devotion from Manon to the previous prison warden.

What had been tossed out amongst spoiled food, soiled sheets and vomit, were the pair of diamond earrings. Pepon was also unaware of the situation, until shaking the canvas sack empty. A final item remained in the bottom of the sack. As the satchel revealed its contents, Larionne’s eyes were affixed on a pair of earrings, a pen, and a slip of fabric as the satchel revealed its contents.

The simple man of bare means retrieved the trio of items and silently finished his duties for the night. His fellow cleaners were none the wiser for Pepon Larionne's fantastic find.

A conversation which he'd overheard from Arrieyenne and DeSaviage was not just a myth. But a reality, which was now wrapped in a dingy cloth with spots of mucus against Pepon Larionne’s body.

The items weren't contained in a satin lined mahogany box to be delivered to a royal consort. But, they were transported within a filthy, loosened blouse of a lowly peasant.

Returning to his small cottage Pepon placed small sack into maple table. Alongside those earrings of Manon, a quill pen and square of lace were laid out by Pepon. The peacock feathers gave Pepon visions of Manon and Casanova's tandem pen craft. Just to imagine what each would place to paper remained more than enough for this the young man's imagination. The slight scent of lavender remained upon that lace.

Night turned to morn as he left the cottage for a short journey.

Pepon Larionne's only thoughts were to give this newly found gift to his beloved Vivienne Coupette. The sixteen-year old woman with a gentle smile was the core of Pepon's undying devotion. Maybe some of the herald grace of Manon and Casanova's love would rub off on Pepon Larionne.

The prison jail cleaner would never be King of France. But as he presented the diamond earrings, quill pen, and sliver of lace to the lady he loved, Pepon Larionne would be forever the prince of Vivienne's heart.

Vivienne became his wife later that month. Their son Laurenz married Orlean Capelli at age 33. Grandson Charles Larionne took Charlotte Pantille as a bride in 1820. Charles' child Phillippe and his wife Ilese van Sharpone had Arielle in 1850. During childbirth, Phillippe Larionne became a widower and single father. Raising Arielle alone for many years he married a childhood friend of Ilese van Sharpone Marcellon Borneau.

1875 became a year of retelling this tale of overwhelming devotion. As 25-year-old Arielle came upon a small music box with those items stuffed into a false bottom, Phillippe retold that tale of his ancestor Pepon Larionne's unimaginable luck and Casanova's exciting entanglements.

33-year-old Arielle married Henri Rausch in 1883.Those next decades of division and destruction in Europe led Bertrand Rausch to move with his wife Sophie Devayne in 1943. Relocating to a town near French wine country Quimper was a good place to begin their lives together. Northwest of Bordeaux they opened a small bistro called Arielle's. Three years later Thomas was born in 1946.

For Thomas Rausch, life in Quimper seemed smaller than the large vista he saw himself in. At age 36, Thomas was in charge of Arielle's. With debt collectors hounding and bills mounting, Henri Rausch's grandson began slipping off a tightrope of gourmet platters and financial reality.

Still single in 1981, he existed as a man with little to show for his life. Alas, memories of grandmother Arielle's cherished belongings of beatitude brought an idea forth.

Passing by an artist studio in Colmar, he saw a man cobbling figurines. Fiddling with those items in his jacket pocket, a possible solution washed over Thomas Rausch.

For a thick handful of francs, Eduard Niemann became owner of those three bells of beauty. Rausch was able to stave off collectors for a while longer as a tiny bistro became viable once again. For As for the artisan Niemann, he acquired an elevated essence for selling the earrings pen and slice of fabric. Ironic that it would be his idolized spouse that would come to a gloomy expiration in future years in handling history's heartache.

Beneath a bitter boot of German annexation, Metz was a most turbulent location for a young Jaqueline to bud into womanhood. Jaqueline Hurlot survived Europe's cloud of blackness during years from adolescence to early twenties. In post war years she married Eduard Niemann, a Colmar native.

Years after Eduard's death of cancer Jaqueline flourished in varied forms of sales. From private collectors to storefront visitors she made her own name in this errand of exclusivity.

During a six-month period before coming to an agreement with Cross Collectibles in Vancouver, she’d negotiated sale of those items for auction with five other entities. From Europe came three persons, and one each from Africa and China.

Calling The Little Bell in Austria, Freiderich Rothsberger passed on these gems. Although, he suggested the possibility of markets that were opening in Asia the name Flower Moon was given to her.

Taking an old friend's advice talks had begun with Flower Moon. But at that point in her career, Jaqueline was unsure about Asia's stability as always a market for this particular product.

Secondly, The Red Chair in Lucca, Italy was contacted. The Italian office located near Pisa didn’t seem up to its prior reputation. Blue Coastal International in Africa would have seemed a good choice for Niemann's proposal. Yet problems in negotiations caused retreat on both ends. The White Tower might have been a pleasing choice for both she and its owner in Bilbao. Spain. Pity the timing was ill-fitted.

Oddly enough, it was Vancouver based Arlington Cross that placed a perfect bidding price and commission for Niemann. Cross Collectibles had a three and a half year worth of dealings in the past.

Jaqueline Hurlot Niemann's bank in Paris was wired a plush price for sale of a trio and fat finder's fee for herself. Items were shipped via freighter from Marseilles. The arrival date would be within 21 days.

Arlington Cross would be an opportune oracle of Manon’s magical jewels, which were a golden key of amorous amends.

Chapter One

Vancouver's Queen Elizabeth Park was sparsely occupied by a pair of dog-walkers and small smattering of joggers that July day. These early morning risers included the proprietor of an antiques establishment, known as Cross Collectibles.

Every pounding of footstep against pavement, revealed his declining stamina.

The morning breeze blew Arlington's mixed brown and gray hair away from his bobbing face as he thought of what the day would hold forward. Yet, he couldn't resist thinking about his humble beginnings. Raised not far from the New Mexico border, he was an Andrews, Texas native. At age 3, he'd moved with his family to Orange Grove for a newly minted business in Corpus Christi.

His father, Thomas Keith Oliver Cross, or TKO as friends called him, was a man with big dreams of rubbing lanterns of fantasized luxury. Cross-Banks began with high hopes, for both TKO and partner Lincoln Banks. Oil exploration came to be the blissful bread and butter for the two families.

Meanwhile, Arlington and his younger brother Maxwell were steered on the right path, under the maternal wings of Bonnie Weatherly Cross. Thomas taught them to fish, hunt, and interact with many a ball of boyhood. Bonnie, on the other hand, taught them fairness, courtesy, pride, and mental acceleration. Both parents gave them lessons in life, which they retained to this date.

Moments of joy, youth, laughter, and familial bonding filled the Cross’s three-bedroom home on 327 Carlyle Way. Alas, it all came to a stunted end with the caustic touch of cancer.

Bonnie Weatherly Cross had lost her battle with cancer when Arlington was 15 and Maxwell was 12.

Having moved to Vancouver at age 17, he and his brother were on a whirlwind adventure with their widowed father. Thomas, Arlington, and Maxwell got Cross Collectibles off the ground quite quickly. Within two years, Cross Collectibles became a moderately successful import and export antique company. The primary reason for this choice of vocation came with some local tax incentives and low overhead costs.

Thomas' sale of his half of the company to Lincoln Banks of Kimball, Nebraska, gave him enough seed money to travel north of the border. Ironically, that cash infusion for business opportunities in Vancouver remained a strike of financial genius by the elder Cross.

TKO finally decided to retire and let one of his sons run the family business. The younger brother had dreams of a life not in antiques. So, he was off the hook of export responsibility. But, Arlington Cross was filled with pride for his father handing him the reins at Collectibles.

With two sons to be proud of, TKO bought a home in Portland, Oregon. He lived quietly and happily, knowing Cross Collectibles was in good hands. Lawyer Maxwell Cross returned to Texas to take a position at one of Dallas's prestigious firms of legal thunder.

The gaze of Cross’s brown eyes reminded many of sable buttons floating in the deep, warm waters of Galveston Bay. Wearing a pair of washed out gray sweats and a Texas A&M hooded sweatshirt, an attached Walkman gently bounced from a constantly moving motioning hip. Anyone looking at this man, would mistake him for an overly-ripened fraternity brother and not a respectable business owner on this July 17th.

As the final notes of the Allman Brothers', ‘Jessica’, wound down, KVON's morning radio jock, Hugo Felipe announced the time of 7:14 over Arlington's music player. Clicking it off, Cross rummaged through his pockets to find the door key. The silver object slipped through his fingers and gently bounced off his scuffed, white Converse sneakers. Arlington bent down to retrieve the key.

"You're going to kill yourself with that running, young man," a mature female voice flowed from above him.

"Chayline?” He stood upright and took a deep breath. His lips formed a genial grin, "What doesn't kill me will make me stronger.”

Fading red hair twisted beneath a gold and emerald hairpin. Chayline Vincent laughed, "But, boss, I don't want me to outlive you." She pressed an index finger against his heaving palpitating chest and pulled her purse over her left shoulder. "Besides, what would this place be without a Cross?"

Arlington unlocked the door, "Oh, it's all with a wing and a prayer. I hope it can be a bit better than Teak House.” His foot pushed aside a small pile of mail, knowing its majority were always billing statements from varied vendors.

"Better than Bleak," 56-year-old Chayline remarked to him with a pun she often used in describing this building's color as in similarity to a Dickensian tome. But despite joking about that shade of brown with a hint of maroon mixed in, both knew that the financial state of Cross Collectibles was verging toward a miniature level of San Andreas. She followed him inside Cross Collectibles.

The previous trio of months had a decline in sales and customers for Cross Collectibles weekly auctions. Although there were specialty items that sold to heightened financial plateaus, the majority of those goods were like lukewarm beer. Things may be wanted as an afterthought by the public, but not needed. Gifts for grandmothers or that forgotten anniversary were the fare of Cross Collectibles.

"What time is Barris due in today, Chay?” he asked, scooping objects with both hands and tossing them onto the large reception desk. Pulling his sweatshirt off, he stood wearing a blue cotton tee and wrapped the hooded item around his waist.

"He should be here around…" She gazed at her oval wristwatch and quickly responded, "Around 9:45.”

Opening windows in the rear of the building, Cross slightly grimaced at her, "That late?"

"Remember? His sister is coming in from the University of Ottawa for a visit?"

"Yeah, I guess I forgot.”

"Well, are you going to change?” She walked toward him, a headmistress attitude taking over. "Or is this the odor of the day?"

Ignoring what she was speaking about, his head cocked to face her, "Um, what did you say?"

"Come on, Mr. Forgetful,” she chided. Placing firm hands on his shoulders and turning him to face the bathroom down the hall, she reminded him, "We've got a busy day. And, the early bird gets the worm."

"And not smell like one, right?” Rolling blue fabric from his flesh and grabbing a clean white shirt from a closet, Cross entered the bathroom.

"What color?" she asked.

Twisting the knob, his head popped from the cracked door. He said, "Dark brown, please.”

"Good choice.” Chayline pulled a pair of brown pants from a silver hanger inside the closet.

His hand darted around and pulled the pants inside. "Thanks."

"You're always welcome, Arlington."

"That's why you're the best, Chayline.” Dressed in starched white shirt and dark brown pants, Arlington Cross was a man ready for the hectic workday. Cross pecked Vincent his assistant on right cheek, "Thanks again."

She playfully waved him away from her. "Now, let's get down to business, sir.”

Trotting into a small kitchen area, he began to make them some coffee. "Don't I know it?” After microwaving some water and tossing a packet into a cup, Cross approached her desk. "Hazelnut, ma'am. Your wish is my command.”

"Darling, you make an old lady giddy." She smiled and shoved her purse into bottom right drawer of the desk. "When Barris gets here, do you want him to start on the inventory?"

"Sure. And, after he finishes, have him come up to my office.” Dragging a brown box of books towards an elevator, he made sure the mail was set on top.

Sipping coffee, Chayline Vincent stood and began to prepare the first floor for business. "See you later.”

As it ascended to the fourth floor of the building, the gated elevator shook slightly. The bright capsule opened and Arlington stepped onto a dark plateau. The tip of his sneaker pressed the box across from that opening. Fifteen steps to his left, he flipped a light switch on. Opening rolling doors to his office open, Cross unlocked a small cabinet in the corner. He removed a white box from that top drawer and another pair of shoes. Resting himself into a swivel chair, Arlington quickly changed from white canvas sneakers into black suede loafers.

9:15 ticked away on a black and white wall clock in Cross’s office. The clanging of the elevator opening broke the silence of surveying statements and stock. "Barris, I didn't think you'd be in until almost 10.”

"Yeah, I did too.” Youthfully bounding over to him, he placed a large hand outward for a shake. "Good morning. And, thanks again for the time.”

Eyes of dark brown and square jaw of kindness, with a frame of over six feet, there stood Barris Hart. All this 29 year old needed was a blue ox.

As he Cross began to pull papers from a cabinet, he said, "I want you to check the stocks for these items,” handing Hart those items.

"Done,” Organizing white and pink papers, Barris tapped them onto a desk. "Is there anything else you need right now, boss?"

Cross became playful with Hart. "If you can make some new customers appear, then I'll take you up on that offer.”

"That's a good one.” As he walked to the elevator, a deep chuckle came from Barris Hart's lips. "See you in a bit, Arlington.”

Two hours and fifteen minutes of peace were cracked with the sound of a braking delivery truck on Heather Street. Chayline Vincent gazed above a pair of tortoise rimmed reading glasses. The white vehicle, with ten-inch black-block-lettering, read Carrington Courier Company. It listed headquarters in Toronto, with branches located in Winnipeg, Edmonton, and St. John.

Adorned in a tomato-red jacket, with a dangling nametag on the right chest pocket and navy pants, a bearded driver with a trim build began to open the van's side door. Packages and boxes were placed onto a dolly for easy transport into Cross Collectibles.

"Let me get that for you.” Gently putting her glasses onto pile of invoices, she began pulling the glass doors open. Chayline waved the man inside. "Are those all for Cross?"

"Yes, ma'am.” He checked a clipboard with listings of all the packages he had to deliver in Vancouver that day. "Could you sign right here?” he asked, and put the clipboard atop the dolly.

"Sure,” she nodded, quickly scribbling her name on a dozen corresponding bold lines. "Can you put them over there, please?"

Reacting with a smile, he ensured her request was fulfilled in no time at all, "You have a good day, ma'am.” Placing the clipboard under his right arm, he gave a friendly salute and walked towards the opened entrance.

"I will,” she said as she slowly closing the glass doors behind him, Chayline played slightly with a strand of pearls. "You have the same, buddy."

The elevator opened and Arlington approached the reception area, “How many today?” "Chay,- ah,

Soft hands placed a finger on each item, "Looks like one huge one, three large ones, five medium, and two small,” She almost overlooked a singular item which had been laid aside the tower by the delivery man. "And then, there's this one,” she said, giving a slight shake at a six by six sized box. From the looks of it, this small one is postmarked from France.

"Who's it from?” Banging a hand onto the largest box, Cross bent down and took an opener from his pants pocket.

"I'll give Jaqueline a call later.” He ripped the masking tape down the middle and quipped, "I'm surprised it got here so quick.”

"Why?"

"She said that it was being shipped from over there, from when I talked to her last week.” He lifted a large vase from that box. "Oh, this is beautiful.” Cradling the pricey porcelain, he walked down a long hallway.

"So, what do you want to do first?"

"This vase goes first,” he said, nesting the item onto a large black table in the back room, "Grab your pad, my friend.”

"I'll put this one upstairs later, okay?"

"Perfect.”

Tagging this item of treasure, Arlington Cross and Chayline Vincent came to a padded sales price. "When we put it in the right light… ”

"It'll glow green,” she interrupted.

"You are precisely on point, Mrs. Vincent."

Barris Hart exited the descended elevator. "Do you need me for anything else, Arlington?"

"What's up, Barris?"

"Can I take lunch?"

"Before you do…” He pointed at the remaining items in the corner, "Can you take those up to the storage room?"

"No problem.” Cheerfully getting a rolling cart from the room down the hall, Hart began stacking packages and ascending back upstairs.

"Chayline, you can take lunch too.” Working his fingers through his hair, Cross wrote a few words onto a yellow legal pad. "Business is as light as a feather.”

"Thanks.” Taking her purse from a drawer, Chayline made a suggestion, "Do you want me to bring you back something?"

"A sub will do fine.”

"And, do you want pickles, too?"

"Oh, Chayline, you do know me well.” He beat his pen against the table. "I'll hold down the fort of silence.”

Vincent grasped the door and gently spoke to him. "See you in a bit, Cross."

"Thanks.” Continuing to write, Arlington closed the door and sat at Chayline's cluttered desk.

Alone, this owner of a thriving Vancouver establishment sat yawning. Arlington Cross waited for a blitz of customers and clients, to keep his lifestyle as a King Edward Avenue apartment resident, on that glittery social scene near Vandusen Botanical

His father, Thomas, had retired to a cozy cabin in Oregon. Younger brother Maxwell returned to life in Dallas. Arlington's sibling carved out quite a fulfilling life in the legal arena of Texas.

Being a bachelor could be many things to a man. As for sex, that remained a puzzle, in and of itself. Arlington remained a bachelor who had freedom to explore feminine companionship. And, he did so without abandon.

Nylons in nightclubs, bikinis on bronzed flesh, and diamond adorned bodies in his bed kept satisfaction on the smiling face of Arlington Cross.

Peach painted nails on a manicured hand approached Arlington with a coral colored envelope "Mr. Cross?"

"Yes.”

Tanned, lean limbs, exposed from the mid-thigh of a green skirt, moved motioned closer. "I hear that you're having an auction in two weeks. I think there are a few items which might peak my interest to purchase.”

"Really?" Rising from behind Chayline's desk, his hand reached out to hers. Cross looked at a crinkled flyer of a few months prior, up and down. "And, what kind of items are you looking for?"

"My husband and I,” She returned his handshake and with moist lips added, "are in the market for exotic figurines.”

Hearing of a spouse was like garlic to a penetrating vampire. "Oh,” Cross changed his tone as a distinctive silver band glimmered on her wedding finger. "Well, we're putting something together soon." Arlington's inquisitive nature consumed the moment with this woman. "How did you get that notice, ma'am?"

"Mr. Cross. I do have my ways" She remarked, as her emerald eyes were fanned with soft eyelashes. Her raspberry lips parted, as did a rayon jacket to reveal ample assets to him. "Could you give me a description of what the upcoming items for auction are?"

"Ma'am, this flyer is from an old auction we had a while back,” he said, putting it on the desk. Arlington began to turn a beam of investigation onto this mysterious marigold, "We've just had a shipment of Hummel. Would you like to view them?"

"Mr. Cross, I'd like you to suggest something that might suit me.” She shifted soft flesh on the seat; her slight French accent washed over him. "My husband's been on a long business trip.” An aura of arousal wafted around this obviously bored wife of privilege. "I wanted to give him a surprise when he returns home in a few days.”

"Something different is what you're looking for, correct?"

The tip of her tongue moved against her bare teeth, as she slowly twirled a few strands of long, golden hair. "I think you're the type of man that could give a woman exactly what she needs.”

"I have something that will put a smile on that lovely face, ma'am.” Word play was like foreplay to Cross, as though a lump of hesitation lodged in his throat. He skimmed the thick blue catalog. "I mean, Cross has a wide selection of pieces of the obscure and erotic.” Flipping past pages of statues and wall art, he found something his potential customer would enjoy. "Also, there are some masks from Morocco that we got in last week,” he said, showing a picture of an object of fertility. Her body language of arousal diminished. "But, they might not be what you and your husband need.”

"Why is that, Mr. Cross?" A miniscule pout formed on those berry colored lips of hers.

"They are traditional fertility masks.”

Girlish giggles erupted from her. "You are quite right.” Gently taking the catalog from him, she stood and placed it onto that desk. "I don't want a mask or anything from that catalog.”

"How do you know? That's old.” She gingerly placed her left hand on the catalog.

Cross became puzzled at her remark. "You haven't been in here before.” Those brown eyes looked more intently at him. "Have you?"

"I – I didn't mean the catalog was old.” Pangs of embarrassment came to her reddening cheeks as she continued to speak. "I mean to say that is outdated for what I'm in the market for.”

Cross closed the catalog. "Oh, I think I can see." Arlington tried to attain further information from her. "Well, if you would tell me what kind of man your husband is, maybe I can assist you in finding something appropriate."

"He is a man who doesn't spend enough time with his wife." The seductive siren gave more intimate details to the man. "He's a man who leaves his wife alone." Pretending a flickering of bashfulness, she added, "Many a lonely and cold night, he has done this."

Arlington Cross was about to respond to this emerald ember, which sat lusciously before him as a stream of car horns began beeping on the street outside. "Some men just don't know how lucky they actually are."

“Well, I guess it's especially lucky when a royal flush is in their grasp." Her present for an absent spouse became the last item that was on her mind at that moment in time. "Lady Luck can give a winning roll of the dice." Her feminine charms came to the forefront once more as she gazed down at Arlington's affected lower half.

"Or snake eyes." Cross’s erection had to be placed on a back burner. He knew the complications of mixing Cross Collectibles' business with captivating trysts and their unforeseen consequences.

Arlington Cross had a modern day vision of those magnificent Three Graces within arm's length. Yet, his lust would have to remain hidden beneath the dark brown cloth of his pants.

Mischievously, she turned up the heat. "Oh, and that's an image to ponder too."

Feeling like a marlin that had just been hooked off the Florida coast, Cross began realizing this pretty package in his business was a bit too eager to obtain that caviar ticket to a Cross Collectibles' private auction. "I don't think you and your husband will find what you're looking for at my business.”

"Just because I'm married, Arlington" She brushed against his left shoulder, an offer and admission of passion was laid at Cross's feet. “It does not mean that I am a tulip with only a single petal.”

Her intentions towards this stranger would seem obvious to him. She knew how to talk to any man and get his attention. At this moment in time, her sights were set on Cross.

He was flattered and horny. But Arlington's radar doubted her motives for the strong come on to him. Cross was being offered entree into an erotic encounter with a woman who appeared to be too good to be true.

And, from a cautious dealer of antiques, sometimes it was best not to make the sale, no matter what the underlying cost would turn out to be.

"What a description.”

Taking a slip of paper from her purse, she scribbled. "Call me, if you have a change of schedule.” She handed him the note and her luscious body slinked towards the door. She turned to him and continued, "Call me, if you've got the inkling he's not around.”

"By the way," Whizzing past her, Cross asked, "What's your name?"

Her sandal-clad feet quickly stepped onto the crowded sidewalk of Heather Street as she licked her glossed lips. "Clover.”

It turned out to be a first for him. Arlington Cross had just been pumped. Not for lust, but for information. He crossed is arms and stood by the door waiting for Vincent's return.

Barris Hart arrived before Chayline. "Are there any new customers today, Arlington?"

"Nobody at all," Thinking of the fleeting flower of fever that had just left, his words flowed with dejection.

Then Chayline Vincent walked in. "I'm back,” she said, handing Cross a brown bag lunch. "The pickle is in the bottom.”

"I'll be up in the office, opening that package.” Slumped against the far wall of the elevator, Cross pushed button number four.

Walking back into his office, he grabbed an opener from the file cabinet and sliced into a box. Pleased at the sight before his eyes, he smiled. Cross unrolled the thick wrapping of newspaper pages and revealed a forest green box at the box's core. Taking the top off the box, he took a piece of blue note paper, which lay atop three small piles of white linen, and began reading it.

– Arlington,

Here are the items we spoke about, as promised. The fees and arrangements are the same as before. You can call me any time. Good to do business with you, as always.

– J.H.N.

Diamond earrings, a quill pen with peacock feathers, a square of lace fabric. They were nice items for the naked eye. Yet, the history of those diamond earrings went to the heart of their priceless nature. One of Casanova's chief loves, Manon Balletti, used those earrings to obtain his freedom from prison. Now, that's adoration beyond flesh.

Several sensuous letters that were written to a man of fabulous fame with that quill pen, held fantasy in each plume.

T The third item in the box was a square of lace. Precision needlework on this slight bit of fabric was a perfumed token of faded passion. On that fourth floor desk laid three items of distinction, this had been long sought after by collectors of the erotic.

Cross Collectibles had prior auctions for buyers in the sphere of titillation. Youth could never compensate for maturity. Flesh may have been interlocked with pleasure, but it was financial security that kept the wolves of poverty at bay.

Arlington Cross needed to thank the person who'd sent this package to him. His fingers flipped through a Rolodex, as he began tapping a phone number out. An overseas operator in France relayed his call forward.

Ringing Jaqueline Hurlot Niemann's home in Colmar, France, Arlington was a bit taken aback at the voice on the other end of the line.

A woman's voice answered, "Qui?"

"Hello, Jaqueline,“ Arlington responded

Hearing her mother's name being called, Carole Davide stammered, "No – no, I'm her daughter, Carole.”

"Hello Carole. This is Arlington Cross from Vancouver. Cross Collectibles,” he said, remembering speaking with Jaqueline about her daughter several times. "She's talked about you during conversations in the past. Can I speak to your mother, please?"

"Mr. Cross,” her voice faltered, as she took a deep breath for revival. "May I help you with something?"

"Is your mother around? May I speak with her?"

"Breaking In" 

by 

A.H. Scott

 

(‘A Ride So Bittersweet’)

How do you break a wild horse? With complete command and control.

Tanya always looked down on her father's help on the family ranch. When her father was out of town on a business trip purchasing new properties, a lesson in humility was given to this woman.

After a long ride that afternoon, she dismounted one of her favorite horses, Oscar. Seeing stable manager, Larry, mucking out one of the stalls, she cleaned her teeth loud enough for him to hear, "Oh, Larry, could you take care of Oscar. I think he could use some water".

Man in his late 30's to early 40's with a slim build and brown hair, Larry stuck his shovel into a pile of shit and turned to face her, "Tanya, you know that there's a bucket right outside next to the spigot".

Tanya was a woman who didn't like to be spoken back to by any man, specifically the household help. She tied Oscar to an oak hitch and walked over to this man with her hands on both hips, "Do your job, Larry".

Larry looked at this woman dressed in a red and white blouse with a knot at it's waist and a pair of jeans, "You look like a healthy girl, Tanya. Get your horse the water yourself".

Tanya's jet black hair was parted with two long braids running down her back. She was not amused with this attitude coming from him, "Do as I say, Larry".

Standing still in front of her, he folded his arms, "Or, what are you going to do, lady?"

"I'm going to tell my father about this", starting to walk away from him, Tanya used her position to threaten this capable stable manager. With back to him, she scowled. But, Larry had another way to settle this situation.

"You're not woman enough to handle this yourself?", snickering at this raven haired beauty, Larry placed right hand against his corresponding cheek.

Turning around, Tanya's temper got the best of her, "I'm more woman than you can handle".

"Prove it", Larry patted his crotch, wanting to see just how much control this daughter of privilege thought she had over him….

Parchment Of Passion: Lissette

By

A.H. Scott

Lissette always prided herself on being polite. It was a trait, which led her into a journey of self-discovery.

Men of a certain persuasion were always drawn to the charming Lissette. One of which would change her life forever.

When Lissette received a telephone call from the hospital that Sunday morning, she knew the news wouldn't be good. Having just returned home from visiting a patient within the last hour, a sudden sense of relief came over her.

 

Finishing the phone call, Lissette placed the receiver down slowly. She sighed and ran those manicured fingers through her auburn mane.

Her slender frame walked over to an oak table and opened a drawer. Picking out a small handful of items, she thought about him.

Twenty years her senior, this man of distinction and élan transformed a gentlewoman into a poised object of perfection.

When they first met, he was the one who saw the potential within her. His gray hair always reminded this younger lover of a fluffy cloud of snow.

Yet, even though this man was years older than Lissette, his capabilities were parallel to men many decades his junior.

Lissette sat on a dark blue easy chair in the corner of her apartment, cradling a sienna colored journal. Slowly opening it, she gave a winsome smile over the past moments spent in her beloved's presence.

Words she'd written to herself captured those lovely blue eyes of Lissette. Events that had been so vivid in the past, seemed to envelope Lissette in the present moment…..

Saturday, June 12th –

My dom was planning to take me to an art exhibit one evening. When he came to my place to pick me up, he was not pleased with what I was wearing.

Oddly enough, he allowed me to wear that dress for the evening. Yet, as we were at this gallery, he whispered to me that I would be punished at a later time….

Dates and years seemed to have flown by, as this woman in her forties relived those events of seduction gone by. 

Scenarios set forth by Lissette's dom, revealed this sub's desire to fulfill the tiniest detail of desire he wished for…

Wednesday, May 19th –

I wonder where the sash on this white robe I'm wearing is? I know I had it before I came into this room. As I walk towards my dom sitting in an Italian leather chair, this white garment starts to part with every movement of my luscious legs. On my feet are a pair of red stilettos. I know my dom is a man of such distinct intelligence and power loves his sub in high heels.

 

 

Once again, I wonder where could that robe sash possibly is?

 

 

Well, of course, there it is. In the hands of a powerful man. My dom slowly twists it around both of his hands and I smile ever so gently at him. Because, I think I know exactly what's going to happen to me. But, then again, I know the wheels inside of my dom's lusty mind are twisting.

 

 

There I stand before you with a white robe that barely covers my naked body beneath. Since the robe is so short, you can see a few strands of……

"A Special 24 Hours"
by
A.H. Scott

A Special 24 Hours

By

A.H. Scott

Rebecca had met J. at a raucous birthday party for a mutual friend a few months prior.

Neither she, nor he would think they'd ever encounter one another in the future. But, they did.

She was a public relations executive working on the East Side of Manhattan. He was employed by an athletic franchise in Europe.

In fact, Rebecca had seen J. on television while flipping past a sports channel before they had even met at their friend's birthday party. She knew all about him and his reputation with the ladies.

And, with attentions turned to her, Rebecca would soon find out for herself if J. stacked up to the hype, which surrounded his prowess.

Springtime in New York City was a mixture of changing weather patterns and flowers starting to bud. Rebecca's midnight chat on her computer to J. was sprouting seduction over the wires.

Rebecca had on Miles Davis' Kind of Blue playing in the background on her end of the conversation. J. and she tapped away for a bit. Then, things took a turn for the tempting.

Miles gave way to ABBA, as the music was changed and Rebecca returned in front of the web cam.

Aqua colored kimono draped around her was suddenly taken off. Rebecca was going to make the most of her computer's web cam for J. to see. She could hear him licking his lips on the other end.

Wearing nothing beneath that kimono, Rebecca's lightly blushed skin made J. blush slightly on his end of this encounter.

Curly shoulder length, blond hair brushed against medium sized breasts, as Rebecca slightly swayed. Another sight of curls was glistening flickers of hair between Rebecca's curvy thighs.

Softly she asked the great man of warm smile, "Do you like what you see?"

"Yes, very much so”, that tickle of temptation in his voice came through the computer speakers to her.

Each laughed at the sexy situation of this long distance dalliance. He wanted to see Rebecca when in New York again. And, without hesitation, the woman with not a drop of cloth on her flesh replied with affirmation.

From a web chat with one another, J. knew Rebecca was a woman who knew how to entice and charm her way into a man's realm. And, soon his pants.

J. was going to be in the United States on business for his organization in the mid-Summer. Then would be the perfect time for him to make a stopover in New York City.

Rebecca took down all of J.'s credit card information for booking and planning a hotel suite for the both of them when he would be arriving in New York.

August wind twisted around Manhattan, as Rebecca prepared the hotel suite for her visiting lover. J. was driven directly from JFK Airport to a luxury hotel in downtown New York.

He was due at that hotel at 6:45 that evening.

Before J. came into the hotel suite with the bellman and his luggage, Rebecca was preparing herself and other items for the arrival.

Changing into light pink bra and panties, she fluffed her hair for decadent presentation. Spritzing some Rive Gauche perfume upon shoulders and chest, an aromatic air filled that area.

Door key slipped into lock, caused a slight beeping sound from the entering bellman and his important hotel guest. Rebecca stayed out of sight and waiting inside of the bathroom.

Rebecca could hear J.'s mellow voice speaking with the bellman for a few moments. After five minutes passed, the bellman was tipped and he exited the hotel suite.

J. parted the sliding bedroom doors to find a quite pleasant surprise – Rebecca standing there in pink panties and matching bra alone.

Pink was the perfect color for the blushing affair that was occurring between them.

J.'s smile was so light and generous, as he walked over to Rebecca. Their hug was tight and much desired by both.

J. looked around the room and grinned, "So, you did this all for me?"

Slipping away from his grasp, Rebecca shook her head and tapped a finger upon a silver-serving cart, "For us".

Dressed in dark suit with blue shirt and red tie, J. was an image of international flair.

He walked over to where she stood and removed covers from the three items on the cart. Strawberries, a silver bowl of whipped cream was nice to start. But, it was the bucket filled with ice and a half dozen bottles of Orangina.

No champagne for this day, for each wanted to be inebriated on one another alone. J. took off his royal blue jacket and was wearing a red tie with a light blue shirt underneath. His body was quite fit for Rebecca's aroused eyes to view.

J. snickered, "You are a breath of fresh air, Rebecca".

Slightly motioning towards him, Rebecca placed hands on either side of J.'s jacket lapels, "And, J., you take my breath away".

St. Nicked by Damon SuedeSt. Nicked: There's no gift like the present.

Holidays this fun can’t be legal. When a cat burglar dressed as Santa targets a glitzy Manhattan high-rise, the holidays get unhinged.

As superintendent, Mark Almeida needs to keep the residents safe, and as a former NYPD cop, he knows he can crack the case without any help… until he meets a suave stranger too handsome for his own good who pushes buttons Mark didn’t know he had.

As the holly-jolly crime spree unfolds, Mark wrestles with duty and desire while juggling festive clues, lavish gifts, and stolen kisses in time for a truly crooked Christmas.

St. Nicked, the newest contemporary romance from Damon Suede, combines the tension of a mystery with feel-good romance in a way only Damon can deliver.

Damon Suede… between soft and rough

Damon Suede grew up out-n-proud deep in the anus of right-wing America, and escaped as soon as it was legal. He has lived all over: Houston, New York, London, Prague. Along the way, he’s earned his crust as a model, a messenger, a promoter, a programmer, a sculptor, a singer, a stripper, a bookkeeper, a bartender, a techie, a teacher, a director... but writing has ever been his bread and butter. He has been happily partnered for over a decade with the most loving, handsome, shrewd, hilarious, noble man to walk this planet.

Addictions: sweetness that isn’t sentimental, wit that isn’t bitter, strength that isn’t cruel. Allergies: professional victims, half-assery, clichés.

Beyond romance fiction, Damon has been writing for print, stage, and screen for over three decades, which is both more and less glamorous than you might imagine. He's won some awards, but his blessings are more numerous: his amazing friends, his demented family, his beautiful husband, his loyal fans, and his silly, stern, seductive Muse who keeps whispering in his ear, year after year.

Damon would love to hear from you... you can get in touch with him here or at any of the following social media hubs:

 	Twitter
 	Goodreads
 	Amazon
 	Bookbub

The Ramseys by Amber Daulton - in Time Complete Box Set NOW AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER!

The Ramseys in Time box set features spunky heroines, brooding heroes, and a trip through time. Each of the two novellas included have a 50k word count, making this box set top off at 100k.

In Timeless Honor, Jaye Ramsey goes on vacation with her friends to Bolivia in order to prove to her eccentric grandmother that time travel doesn't exist. There she finds a time portal in the Salar de Uyuni (the salt flats) and winds up in Georgian England. Never did she expect to fall in love with a man from her grandmother's past, Lord Lucas Kenway, who was accused of murdering his wife on their wedding night.

In Timeless Beginnings, Leonora Harris flees her newly wedded husband's home and loses her way in the woods. After she falls through a portal, she wakes up in 1960s Bolivia. Luckily for her, she meets undercover CIA agent Rodger Ramsey and embraces her new life as a modern woman.

Even though these novellas are standalones, it's best to read them together, in any order, because you'll be able to fully immerse yourself in this fictional world of magic portals, culture shock, and happily ever afters. And besides, who can get enough of time travel romance? Not me, that's for sure.

For the first time ever, the Ramsey in Time Complete Box Set is now AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER.

Down at the Shore by Karen Cino

An Author’s Twelve Days of Christmas

With the holiday season upon us, it is our time to reflect on the year gone by and start getting together a list of resolutions for the New Year. This is one of my comic relief poems. I refer to it as my quick pick-me-upper when my muse comes to a halt. This is my version of The Twelve Days of Christmas.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my friends gave to me:

 	Twelve hours of nonstop writing,
 Eleven great plots ideas with a twist,
 Ten true to life characters,
 Nine boxes of tissues,
 Eight books on writing,
 Seven sites on marketing,
 Six unique promo tips,
 Five colored highlighters,
 Four packages of post it notes,
 Three colorful loose-leaf binders,
 Two boxes of colorful paperclips,
 And a bottle of Procesecco to stimulate my mind.

To all my writer friends and readers I'd like to wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season full of love and happiness! I'm sharing with you my Christmas tree and decorations.

If you stop by and leave a comment, you will be put in a drawing to receive an ebook of your choice: Roses or Seaside Reboot (Jersey Route 35 Cozy Mystery). All you need to do is tell me your favorite Christmas/Holiday treat and/or what you want Santa to bring! Good luck!
Down at the Shore
Brooke Dascoli is in a relationship that’s going nowhere. She moves into the beach house her grandmother left her at the Jersey Shore and forms a friendship with her neighbors, Flo Meadows and Jane Cummings. Flo carries around a huge secret that has haunted her since her first marriage and Jane is having a hard time dealing with a cheating husband who died shortly after their divorce. Together each woman shares their past indiscretions and future dreams, while dealing with loss, renewal and starting over.

My Fake Italian Marriage by Romy Sommer
Escape to Italy for a summer romance
As the nights draw in and winter approaches, you may be indulging in hot cocoa, woolly sweaters, and Hallmark holiday movies...or you might be indulging in dreams of summery destinations and strappy sundresses. I'm definitely in the latter camp. I don't do well with the cold, so I hibernate all winter, warming myself up by escaping to warmer climes in the pages of books. One of my favorite destinations, no matter the season, is Italy - the home of pizza, pasta, gelato, and amazing wines. (And yes, I am a tad obsessed with the taste of Italy!)

Enjoy your own escape to Italy with "My Fake Italian Marriage," a romance filled with sunshine, mouth-watering food and wine, and (of course!) a heart-warming fake marriage romance.

In the words of The Unrepentant Bookaholic: "Set in the beautiful Tuscan hills and vineyards, this story was delightful, sweetly steamy, and still romantic. Sworn off men after two failed relationships, Cleo is sent to Luca's family vineyard to protect her company's investment. Sparks fly, and a reluctant partnership is formed to keep the failing business alive. Fabulous!"

Interview with Lucy Felthousehttps://bit.ly/4fJavT3Welcome, today we are talking with Lucy Felthouse! I would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy writing schedule to answer a few questions. First, let's delve into who you are. Some of the questions may be untraditional but you’d be surprised at what readers connect to, and sometimes the simplest ‘I can relate to that’ grabs their interest where nothing else can.

Can you share a little something about Lucy Felthouse that’s not mentioned in your bio on your website?

I try to counteract my love of chocolate by spending lots of time walking in the countryside, going to Zumba once a week and doing Yoga at home.

How long have you been writing?

Since I was a child. I was a huge reader from a young age, and loved adventure stories, so anything by Enid Blyton, that kind of thing. I would spend hours making up my own stories and scribbling into notebooks. I wish I still had them now—I’m intrigued as to whether any of it was any good!

In terms of writing for publication, it’s getting on for twenty years now, since I was at university.

What have you found most challenging about it?

That when you write in certain genres, i.e. romance, and particularly steamy romance, you will often find people look down on you and what you write. There are certain places where writers of other genres will be welcomed, but you won’t. I’ve learnt to live with it, and don’t try to insert myself where “my face doesn’t fit”, but I do find it quite annoying at times. In a lot of ways, we still live in a very narrow minded world.

What does writing do for you? Is it fun, cathartic, do you get emotional? 

All of the above! I’ve made myself laugh writing, I’ve made myself cry writing. I take it as a good sign, to be honest. As the writer, I know what’s going to happen, so if I still get emotional about it, then surely that means I’m doing something right!

Describe what your writing routine looks like. Are you disciplined with a strict schedule or do you have to be in the mood?

I don’t have a routine. I don’t write full time, and I don’t always have a book or story on the go. So it all depends. When I am writing a book, I t...

What do you do when you meet the guy of your dreams? Set him up with your sister, of course.

Kari doesn't have time for love when she's opening her new cat café. She's busy hiring employees, fighting with the health inspector – oh, and welcoming 16 shelter cats. She's doing this for the cats, the community, and her family. The café will give her sister, Marley, a job worthy of her baking skills.

Then a tattooed military vet wanders in claiming he's a master baker. Surely Marley will fall for a guy this sweet.

Colin has other ideas. It's Kari who makes him want to turn up the heat. But he's spent the last two years recovering from physical and psychological wounds. Is he really ready for a relationship? He's not even sure he should commit to Samson, the sweet Siamese cat who steals his heart.

Breaker by AK Nevermore
Check out Breaker, a Spicy Dystopian Romance...
Hey all, AK Nevermore back with the first book in a brand new series, Breaker. If you're a fan of Spicy Dystopian Romance, then this is the series for you!

Beware the Coming Storm...

On an alternate earth, a cataclysm has altered a subset of the population. Talents are persecuted for their psychic and physical mutations, giving rise to two conflicting societies based upon maintaining genetic purity. And the Source, a shadowy corporate entity dependent upon the exploitation of captive Talents, is hunting them...

Self-exiled to the Outside, Flynn Scot is oath-bound to a life of strict penance.

Cursed with a vicious temper and haunted by the blood-stained debauchery of his past, Flynn's sworn off women, whiskey, and violence, and doesn't give a damn about whispers of the coming war. He sure as hell isn't in the mood to make good on a debt when it's called in, especially when playing white knight outs him as a Talent, and the damsel in distress as his soulmate.

On the run from her future as a broodmare for the Source, escaped Talent Kara Jester is no distressed damsel.

And the last thing she wants is to be trapped in a blizzard with a surly—and frustratingly captivating—thug. Without the suppression meds holding her libido in check, her biology's primed to procreate, and Flynn's growled assurances that he won't touch her doesn't match the hunger in his eyes.

It doesn't align with what fate has in store for them, either.

With elite troops hot on their heels and the border set to close, it's a race to the North, away from Kara's horrific future and towards the dark past Flynn wants to keep buried. Clinging to the shreds of his oath, he's forced to choose between protecting the woman he's afraid to love and letting out the animal he swore he'd never be again. Either may destroy him, if Kara's secrets don't get them killed first.
