EXCERPT

You’ve been neglected, and I’m sorry.”

“I’m better now,” I told him.

“Yes, but you must be so wet. I can smell how badly you want it, and it’s making me so hard.” He gripped my backside and hauled me up against the long length of his body—and other things. He was not lying.

His hands skirted around my hips and headed down between my legs.

“Mmm.” Just his hands on my skin felt better than anything. I wanted to stop time.

Until he found the peephole.

“Fuck,” he groaned as he located the opening in my panties. “Are you trying to give me a heart attack?”

“No.” Maybe.

He dropped to his knees then, and I didn’t hear another word for some time.

Books in the Quick and Dirty Series




DIRTY LITTLE LIES

Twenty-nine-year-old Stevie Sinclair has just lost everything: her boyfriend, her apartment, even her ugly bird named Free. (Yeah, she knows it’s a stupid name, so don’t start.) But most importantly, Stevie’s lost herself.

As she shuffles through her days in worn-out Hello Kitty PJs—eating ice cream, sipping wine, and contemplating her next move—a magazine article catches her attention. Blaring black letters read: “How to Get Your Sexy Back in Six Easy Steps.”

Stevie studies the article in the trashy magazine like the good student she is and immediately knows what she has to do. With the magazine article in hand, and a bottle of red in her bag, Stevie embarks on a journey to reclaim her life and win back her ex.

Until she meets Gabe Shannon. Gorgeous, single, and on a quest of his own, Gabe introduces Stevie to a lifestyle that is sure to help get her sexy back and then some. If she doesn’t chicken out … (Oh, you know where this is going.)



                                                       




DIRTY LITTLE TRICKS

In this second book in the Quick and Dirty Series, beloved characters Stevie Sinclair and Gabe Shannon navigate through the ups and downs of their grown-up—albeit kinky—relationship.

And while Stevie’s thoroughly enjoyed every mind-blowing sexperience with Gabe, she worries she’s not enough to keep him satisfied for the long term.

So it’s back to the drawing board for Stevie …

First stop?

Club Venus for the annual Halloween masquerade party.

What follows is one insanely hot and filthy night of mayhem where nobody is who they appear to be … ah, you get the idea.

Dirty Little Tricks is the seductive continuation of Stevie and Gabe’s story and the very beginning for one lucky couple at Club Venus.






DIRTY

Gabe Shannon has just been schooled … in the art of kink, that is.

After a heartbreaking loss, this broken man spins out of control until a whirlwind friendship with a stripper named Tash takes over his life.

With Tash at his side, the two embark on a crazy tour of Chicago’s underground world of pleasure. Yes, he’s gone into a deep, dark, and dirty (make that D.I.R.T.Y.) world that he never really knew existed. And surprisingly, he discovers he likes it. Quite a lot.

But the reserved entrepreneur soon realizes that hanging from the chandeliers every night is not all it’s cracked up to be. Well, it is … but it’d sure be a lot more fun if it meant something.

This erotic tale can be read as an introduction to the Bestselling Quick and Dirty Series, or to learn more about the gorgeous Gabe Shannon anytime during the series. DIRTY is not a mandatory read, but you may enjoy the series more after you roam around in Gabe’s head a bit.

DIRTY tells the story of how Gabe started exploring his dirty side, came to own Club Venus, and met the crazy beautiful Stevie Sinclair.

Read a quick Excerpt from Quick and Dirty Box Set:

This is different, we usually don’t scene. Not really. Even at the club, it was always just us – Stevie and Gabe. Stevie liked her kink with a wink and a smile. She didn’t take anything too seriously.
A slight warning bell goes off in my head because she’s resorted to doing a scene rather than talking to me. It’s not a piercing red-light alarm, just a caution that I should tread lightly. In my experience, role play was often used to get past deep-seeded issues. Or ways to ease anxiety and get what you needed sexually without having to come out and ask for it.
I can’t help that every one of these scenarios has me a little unnerved.
I also can’t help the need I have to give her whatever she desires. So regardless of the reason for this, I happily join in.

About Before You Go, Impossible Love #1

*"A touching tale of love and human redemption. Readers of Tammara Webber and Colleen Hoover will enjoy this book." - A Love Affair with Books*

**More than 100,000 downloads to date!**


What begins as an experiment turns into more than she ever expected …

Twenty-one-year-old Tabitha Kelly is on a mission as she takes a seat inside the neighborhood pub. Off the beaten path, and far from campus, it’s the perfect place. And when she spots the gorgeous Noah Adler at the end of the bar, she silently says, *jackpot.*

One year ago, Tabby had no need to take such extremes. But after being lured to a party that became the site of the biggest sex scandal to hit her Illinois campus, her perfect life fell apart.

Now, in a new city, Tabby’s convinced she can start over. And though it sounds crazy, she believes a one-night stand is the best way to take control and move on from her past. What she doesn’t expect is the immediate connection she feels to this stranger, or that *he *has a plan of his own.

BEFORE YOU GO is about a chance meeting, an unexpected connection, and a unique romance that survives the worst of situations.

MORE, book 2 in the Impossible Love Series, is a companion friends-to-lovers story featuring the steamy romance between the eccentric spitfire, Jules, and the resident party guy, Foster. Available Now!

About More, Impossible Love #2

From Clare James’ best-selling Impossible Love Series, comes a steamy friends-to-lovers companion story about Jules Taylor and Foster Sutton.

Two wild souls with a fire burning inside, Foster and Jules are a hot and dangerous mix of emotion and lust. But after a terrible accident leaves one friend dead, Foster is bound by a secret that keeps him from getting closer to Jules. And he’s left with only one thing to offer her – friendship.

For Jules, her relationship with Foster is getting old. He falls down and she picks him up, but they never move forward. Their occasional hook-ups are no longer enough, and Jules vows that this is her summer to forget Foster and find love. If it were only that easy.

It seems fate is pushing Jules and Foster together at every turn. And it’s only a matter of time before they give up and give in.

MORE is a stand-alone companion story in the Impossible Love Series. It can be read on its own, though you may also enjoy BEFORE YOU GO and NOT WITHOUT YOU, book 3 in the series, available now!

About Not Without You, Impossible Love #3

Falling in love was the easy part …

Noah and Tabby’s love story wasn’t typical … or particularly romantic. After all, he picked her up at a bar – or maybe she picked him up. Either way, he saw her naked before he even knew her name.

Tabby came to him broken, but determined. And Noah knew how to fix her. It was a meeting of the bodies. A retraining of the mind. A connection that soon infected the heart.

But after two years, Noah’s old tricks aren’t working, and Tabby is shutting down again. This time, he refuses to play games. He wants all of her, or nothing at all.

Not Without You returns to the eclectic neighborhood where Noah and Tabby met, and where they are now discovering that life doesn’t get easier after you leave campus. What began as a sweet story of love and redemption, turns into something dark, intense … and, at times, disturbing. And if they’re not careful, it will destroy them both.

*Not recommended for readers under 18


Book #3 is available for $0.99 until December 13, 2015 at

Excerpt From Not Without You

The honeymoon was over …

Not literally, of course. We never made it that far. Noah and I had two blissful years. Make that one year, five months, and six days of bliss.

In that time together, we’d done just about everything a (relatively) normal couple does.

There was college graduation—where, incidentally, Dad bawled his eyes out and Mom critiqued my wardrobe choice. Christmas in Illinois—where I had to prevent Noah from hunting down Thomas Richardson. Hanukkah with the Adlers. Weddings of distant cousins. Funerals for a great uncle and a beloved professor at the university.

There was the epic Jules and Foster break-up; an even more epic Noah and Foster make-up. Then came the new jobs and new apartments, and new challenges.

Still, Noah and I were crazy in love. We spent many lazy days in bed, followed by wild nights. We even took a super sexy vacay to Cozumel—thank you, Jules for the black bikini loan that got me very, very lucky.

Life in coupledom was more than I knew it could be.

But shortly after that? Let’s just say that things started to get a little sticky.

Here’s the thing. I thought my boyfriend had it all figured out. He was always so sure of himself, so confident. Sure, he struggled like the rest of us. Rent money, irrational bosses, a demanding girlfriend (heh), family drama, crazy friends. But he took it all in stride. Nothing surprised him. Little made him angry.

He meditated and read the Bhagavad Gita. And not in that weird look-at-me-I’m-so-enlightened way. He didn’t wear Kabbalah bracelets, walk around in Birkenstocks, grow a beard, or complain about working for the man. He played guitar to relax, went to temple and/or church when the mood struck, worked hard, and buried himself in books. The rest of the time? He loved me.

That was Noah.

Me, on the other hand? Not quite so … together. I still fought with my mother, went to group therapy, got into trouble with Jules, had bad dreams, struggled at dance practice, and made the occasional off-the-mark comment during my graduate classes. I also never missed the opportunity to give my brother crap about his girlfriend, Jenna Peterson, a.k.a. Noah’s ex and my nemesis. And though she and I managed to remain civil when people were looking, I was confident we’d throw down one day soon.

Still, Noah didn’t judge. Didn’t impose his goodness on me.

Until April—when something we were completely unprepared for happened. It was a little embarrassing, a lot personal, and neither one of us wanted to give in. We were at an impasse.

But I’ll let Noah tell that story …
