Stripped
Page 23
The entire experience was spectacular!
We’re now bona fide celebrities!
We’ve been hired on by Sir Alastair himself with a three season contract as main choreographers, and are now regulars on the show.
As well as working for movie directors and producers as choreographers in Hollywood, we’ve been selected for roles as minor characters and have had several cameo appearances dancing in upcoming film productions. Stone is even slated as a main supporting character in the next Magic Mike movie, Seriously Hung! He’ll be playing a—you guessed it—stripper!
There are even lawyers and film producers working on a deal for film rights for our unconventional love story.
So, enough of the cool accolades, I know you want the down and dirty. Stone put a gorgeous rock on my finger halfway through the tour—asked me to marry him right there on stage after a live encore performance of “Pillowtalk.”
I said yes.
Two seconds later I was preggers, because of course his sperm is super-potent—it’s Stone! They probably wear little red capes!
Our families couldn’t be happier for us. My dad now wears sports jerseys with ‘Team Wright’ on the back—he sent two new ones specially made for us after we shared the baby news—it reads ‘Team Wright Plus One’!
On our wedding night, we exchanged gifts with one another. I found Stone a piece of sand-smoothed, blue sea glass during a sunset walk together on Hermosa Beach—the exact shade of his eyes—and had it set in a platinum pendant so he could wear it around his neck.
He gave me a diamond bracelet with a tiny titanium airplane charm engraved with our initials.
The tag he handwrote read:
“The object of my affection is also the object of my erection.”
After he fastened it around my wrist, he stripped me of all my clothes and did what Stone does best—
Well, second best
. Next to loving me, of course.

True North Finding Series:
"When you're lost... True North"
The North brothers were hell on wheels-adrenaline-junky bad boys. You’d think they had a death wish – every one of them – but they didn’t really, they just got off on the thrill of pushing every limit, that gravity or any other force told them they couldn’t conquer. What they weren't prepared for were the women that would steal their hearts.

Burn (Brothers of Ink and Steel Book 2)
I met her in a graveyard. She was cleaning broken glass from a concrete angel.

Together we clawed out our survival on the city streets. We became each other's home - our somewhere we belonged.
She called us, two halves of one whole.
We protected one another.
Until that night.
I wasn't there to keep her safe when she needed me most.
Everything shattered.
It's been ten years since she slipped out of my life in the middle of the night.

Can I forgive myself?

Defy (Brothers of Ink and Steel Book 3)
Ryder Axton
I always fight hard, fuck harder, and never let myself get personally involved. But my assignment to apprehend Eduardo Miguel comes to a grinding halt when I find a missing federal witness held captive in his basement. It becomes fucking personal, fast!
Keeping Farrington safe, even if it—or more likely she—kills me, is now my only mission. But she’s terrified and fights me at every turn. Earning her trust becomes more than a way to save both our lives, it’s like an addictive drug. I need it—I need her to put her faith in me.
When she begins investigating the hidden parts of my soul, I almost can’t deny her. I know I can protect her. I know I could pleasure her in one explosive night she’d always remember and I’d never forget. What I don’t know is how I could be falling so hard. There’s no way in hell I can let that happen; getting too close to me comes with an ominous curse that won’t be defied.
I thought I had nothing to lose. I was wrong.
Rachel Farrington
I should’ve never taken that dangerous shortcut through the unlit alley to the frat party. It was where I saw a fellow student brutally murdered and how I made my way onto a cartel leader’s hit list.
As a federal witness, I thought I was safe in the protective custody of the FBI . . . that is until I woke up chained in the monster’s basement.
When a powerful and lethal soldier claiming to be a bounty hunter shows up, I’m not sure if he’s rescuing me or dragging me towards a greater hell. But after a series of experiences that defy death, the overwhelmingly sexy, dirty-minded, Navy Seal trained and hot blooded bounty hunter—who obviously plays by his own rules—just might win my trust.
He is not an ordinary man. He’s strong, dark and deadly; his past is mysterious and his motives unreadable. He seems to be made of the stuff of myth and legend, and of ink and steel.
Is Ryder Axton for real? Or is he employed by my captor for a more sinister purpose?
When death comes, can we defy it… again?

Allie Juliette writes sexy, emotionally-charged
New Adult Romance
Allie Juliette loves traveling and adventuring everywhere she can - whether it's in the physical world, within the pages of a great book or in her own wandering imagination - she believes and lives by the magical motto: A
ll those who wander are not lost.
Now, after almost one year of living in southern California, where the residents worship the rolling ocean waves and the glow of the setting sun, she resembles a local more and seems less a newcomer with her very loving (and very loud) family.
Backing up for some ancient history, when she said yes to a dinner date with Michael - the rugged, sexy, broad shouldered, fire protection specialist with mesmerizing green eyes, strong muscular arms and thick black hair who smelled amazing with the scent of his Carhardt work-wear and cold Vermont air - she didn't know he'd be her happily ever after. But after five days of dating (yes, you read that correctly, five days. However in her defense she had known him for almost a year through mutual friends), he lit candles, played her favorite song and asked her to marry him.
They recently celebrated their 22nd year of marriage.
After having six high-energy children and adopting a golden retriever fur-baby, moving into nine different houses in six different states, living in an RV together with the kids and dog (yes planned and deliberately) on a wild adventure around the US and Canada for three years, she’s learned that true love does indeed win and that home is anywhere you are, as long as you're together.
