BLURB:

Katie realizes now what she wants more in life; something money can’t buy, and that is family, love, and happiness. With every ounce of her wellbeing, she will do whatever it takes to keep Ben and his values true, no longer pressuring him to give into her desires, even though things in life throw a curve ball. It’s easier said than done when living with the temptation.

But what happens when the tables turn and he gives into her, and she is the one denying him now? Will she give in and succumb to his sinful desires, or will she hold her ground and refuse him?

That’s what dreams are made of. What your heart desires, and how you are willing to fight to make those dreams come true. Just believe in the power of your dreams and dare to dream them.

EXCERPT:

We are both being blind folded and my hands are being tied behind my back. Oh, this cannot be good. Next thing I know, I am being felt up with hands on my legs and arms. The music keeps playing, and I am getting all hot and bothered and antsy as I feel myself shift in my seat. Then I feel light kisses all over my face and neck.

I have no idea what is going on, yet it feels so good. I am wiggling in my chair, only thinking of Ben. I have to keep thinking that this male who is trying to seduce me is just giving others a show. But that thought goes out the window when I feel lips on mine. Just butterfly type kisses at first. I pull back, not expecting him to kiss me on the lips. What male dancer does that? They aren’t supposed to do that, are they? His scent is different. But then the lips are on me again, and I’m not sure what to do. They are soft and familiar. I kiss back and literally give in, letting out a moan. I know this is Ben. I know his kisses anywhere.

He is straddling me, and gyrates a couple of times and I feel his erection as he reaches behind me to untie my hands. I bring them up to his body, feeling him through his clothes. Then he undoes my blindfold as I open my eyes to see his smiling face.

How in the world did I get so lucky with this guy? I grab him, kissing as we start making out. Then the DJ announces, “Enough you two; get a room.”

We laugh. Ben grabs my hand and pulls me to the back room, shuts the door, and shoves me against the door, kissing me frantically. Panting heavily.

“I want you right here and now, baby, before I spontaneously combust,” he whispers in my ear.

About the Author

Growing up in a small Midwestern town in WI, it is next to nothing to dream about other places along with who to marry, how many kids to have, and what to be when grown up.
So many hopes and dreams have my imagination running wild. My greatest dream came true when I became a wife, a mother of three, and grandmother of two, with hopes of more grandchildren in the future.
I am a sucker for a good love story. Love to read and listen to others tell about their love stories.

Check this book out. It sounds really good.

Book Blurb:

For the first thirteen years of her life Karla Hall never knew what was going to happen next. Her mother moved her from town to town, following whatever loser boyfriend she had at the time and drinking away what little money she made in whatever dead-end job she could fine. Her mother was a mean drunk and Karla was always her target. The boyfriends were worse.

On her fourteenth birthday Karla’s life takes a drastic turn. Her mother is arrested for soliciting drugs, the current boyfriend takes off and Karla is all alone in a dump of an apartment with no food and no money.

Caught shoplifting food, Karla is taken into the system and that’s where she meets The Peterson’s. They’re an upper-middle class couple who cannot have children of their own and they offer Karla a stable home, a new beginning.

Now Karla is trying to adapt to this new life and praying she gets to keep it.

Author Bio:

Hello everyone. I want to take a minute to introduce myself. I’m a 34 year old mother of two beautiful daughters, ages 11 and 7, and they are my life. I live in Tennessee, about 25 miles East of Nashville and have lived here most of my life. I love Tennessee.

I started reading when I was four years old and have always been an avid reader. In July of 2013 I started editing professionally and I love it. I always saw myself as a fixer, not a creator, until one day I was at work, not editing but my other job, and an idea for a story popped into my head, and I couldn’t get it out. That’s how A New Beginning was born.

How far into the hollow would you go?

“After losing her parents in a terrorist attack on the Twin Towers, fifteen-year-old Honoria escapes New York City to Arnn—a farming town with more legends than residents, and a history of witchcraft and secrets best left buried.

Everyone in Arnn knows the story of Witchwood Hollow: if you venture into the whispering forest, the witch will trap your soul among the shadowed trees. In the lure of that perpetual darkness, Honoria finds hope when she should be afraid, and a past of missing children and broken promises. To save the citizens of Arnn from becoming the witch’s next victims, she must find the truth behind the woman’s madness. How deep into Witchwood Hollow does Honoria dare venture?”

ESCAPE FROM WITCHWOOD HOLLOW is Jordan Elizabeth’s first novel. This young adult fantasy will be published through Curiosity Quills Press on October 29, 2014.

Some of those adventures have led to abandoned foundations. Exploring the rocks and crumbling bricks sparked Jordan to imagine who might have lived there before, and that train of thought carried her to a wicked legend and an enchanted hollow. You can contact Jordan via her website, JordanElizabethMierek.com.
