The Playboy, the ladies' man... the man every girl wants and every boy wants to be. There's something about this confident guy who knows what he likes. He's got the experience to treat you right and also the skills to keep you happy all night long. In MO Kenyan's latest release, Once Upon a Playboy, DJ is the man of the hour....

Blurb:
Love is not a fairy tale.
And Karma is a bitch.
Love transcends, resurrects and honestly performs miracles. DJ thought that he had lost his present and future to his father’s past. He had held Eve, the woman he was afraid to love at arm’s length, until one day she disappears from his life.  His life spirals out of control as he tries to come to terms with losing his greatest love.
Eve was moving forward, at least that was what she told herself. She had given up on DJ, but just like the fairytales she used to believe in, she met her prince charming once again. Too bad their love read more like a thriller than it did a fairytale.
 
EXCERPT:
DJ wasn’t in the mood to put his seduction skills to work that night. So he’d called Ava and, sure enough, she was willing to run to his cottage at a moment’s notice. He met up with her at the club and they’d walked back to his home. To DJ, the routine was normal—get in the house, take off their clothes, and have sex wherever. However, this time when he stumbled into his home and gave Ava the usual order, a different voice piped up and filled the dimly lit room.
“Take off your clothes.”
“No!” she yelled. “Don’t take off your clothes.”
 “Dear God.” DJ moved his hand to his chest. He wanted to make sure his heart was still beating.
“Who are you?” Ava barked.
“Eyve?” DJ’s fixed his gaze on her emerald ones, until he forced his gaze away. The effect she had on him was dangerous and compelling. How could she turn up in his life twice within a few days? How did she even know where he lived? This woman, who had tormented his dreams with desire, who had his heart doing things he wouldn’t admit to each time he saw her, was now stalking him, plaguing his existence. She was determined, and it seemed that no matter how much DJ tried to get over her, it wouldn’t happen while he was still in Nice.
“Who are you?” Ava asked.
“Eyve, and you are?”
“None of your business. You must be his new plaything.”
“And you must be his older plaything,” Eyve returned with the same vehemence.
DJ held back a laugh. Eyve had just managed to go from crazy stalker to amusing in the same moment. There was so much about her that intrigued him, that bound him to her in an attraction he had never felt before. However, all those were good reasons to pack up and run as fast and as far as he could.

EXCERPT
She caught a glimpse of him as he made a right down another hall. A few seconds later, she made the same right. This hall was less crowded. She could see as Brodan glanced around, but obviously didn’t see her, and ducked into a classroom.

She walked quickly around a group of guys talking. A couple of them watched her as she passed but didn’t say anything—she was starting to get the impression the other students thought she was like a pet of Will and his friends. Whatever.

At the doorway where Brodan had disappeared, she paused. A part of her felt like some freak stalker, but another part knew there was something odd going on.

She walked into the classroom, empty but for tall, blond Brodan standing by the teacher’s desk, faced away from her.

Then his coloring changed, darkened.

She watched, confused, as another boy stepped back, as if separating himself from Brodan. This other boy had dark hair and wore a black jacket.

Brodan shook his head and looked around the room, obviously confused. The other boy stood there and watched, still turned away from Ilona. As Brodan glanced around, she realized he couldn’t see the other boy. The ghost. But she’d thought Soll was the only one who could do that.

“What’s going on?” she asked. “Who are you?”

Brodan turned and looked at her. “Ilona.”

The other boy tensed, and she guessed he was about the make a jump.

“Don’t,” she demanded.

He stayed but didn’t turn.

“Ilona,” Brodan said. “What’s going on?”

She realized he had no idea he’d been possessed. “Do you feel all right?” she asked.

“Yeah.” He glanced around. “But I don’t remember why I came in here.”

“Other than that, you’re not…confused?” Soll had made people go insane when he’d possessed them. If this ghost had messed with Brodan’s head, she was going to find a way to kick his ass.

“No,” Brodan said. “We were talking, and then I walked away from you for some reason. Maybe I should go to the nurse’s office or some shit.”

“I don’t think you should.” They’d think he was going nuts, which she wasn’t positive he wasn’t, but he wasn’t acting crazy like Soll’s victims had. “Just go to your next class. We’ll talk later.”

“Yeah,” he said. “All right. See you later.” He walked past her out of the room.

Ilona glared at the ghost. He was wearing the same kind of clothes Nex did. Maybe this was a member who’d died?

“Did Soll teach you how to do that?” Her voice was cold.

He shook his head, not enough to allow her to see the side of his face.

She moved closer. Something about his frame seemed familiar—maybe this boy was what caused Brodan to seem familiar…but that would mean he’d been present the other two times she’d talked to Brodan, that she’d never talked to Brodan only.

“You belonged to Nex in life,” she said, “didn’t you?”

He hesitated and then nodded.

“I’m not going to let you torment people,” she said. “You may as well just move on.”

He was quiet and still.

She continued slowly closer. “Why won’t you talk?”

Nothing.

“Answer me.”

Several quiet seconds passed.

Finally, he said, “Because I made you a promise.”
​
She stopped moving and stared. No, he’s gone. It can’t be him.

While billions of people died in the terror wars, the population still remains larger than the post war world can sustain, so strict population control regulations are established.

For the average citizen, a young woman has only one chance to have a baby. That is during her first time having sex. Upon that one time, she must immediately go to the doctor and have her birth control device (BCD) installed. If later it turns out she is pregnant, it is deemed a ‘virgin birth’ and she may keep the child. Since the chances of pregnancy are very low for a virgin birth, most women of the poor and middle classes will never have any children to carry on their name.

This results in some women trying to get around the law by having their BCD removed. However, to succeed, the woman will need to hide for the last six months of her pregnancy, then have the baby with only the help of friends who will keep her secret. Once the child is physically born she can keep it. However, most women are caught before they can birth the child. Then the unborn child is aborted and the mother is charged with murder and imprisoned for life.

For the upper middle-class and people with critical jobs, they can apply for a permit to have a child. These are rare and highly coveted.

While the rich claim to live under the same rules, in reality, their lives are very different. Young debutantes are declared to be virgins for as long as it takes for them to conceive a child.
​
Wealthy men want lots of children, so after a young debutante has birthed him a child, she can be set aside for another debutante. As to whom will raise the child, a man has many choices. He can marry the mother and allow her to raise and nurture the child. He can take the child and have someone else raise it for him or he can allow the mother to raise it until the child is of use to him, at which time he will claim his offspring.

Being a debutante was little more than being a pampered breeding cow and Alisha wants none of it! Thankfully, she’d escaped the life her parents had planned for her.

Scavenger’s Mission
By Liza O’Connor
 
Blurb
Meet Alisha: A young woman who refuses to live the life her parents want.
In a single month, Alisha Kane has gone from a wealthy debutante to street girl to scavenger.  While testing her new flying skills in the Cully Canyon, Alisha incurs a near-death crash landing. She’s “rescued” by a colonel of the SkyRyders and her life changes forever.
Meet Logan: A SkyRyder colonel in charge of a sleepy fort with little to do other than arrest the occasional scavenger.
For the first time in his life, Logan’s attracted to a young woman, only she’s probably a scavenger and he’ll have to arrest her.  But first he offers her a shower and food while he checks on his crew. His videographer has captured her extraordinary flight through the Cully and her flying is astounding!
He forgoes arresting her and puts his career at risk by asking MAC to assess her skills and integrity as a potential SkyRyder. If he can get Alisha into the SkyRyders, it will be his greatest contribution to the Corps.
Meet MAC: The Artificial Intelligence that runs the SkyRyders Corps.
Upon seeing her arrival, MAC upgrades Alisha’s test. Her flying skills are not just excellent; they exceed what was previously thought possible. MAC classifies her as its top asset and soon she proves her value. 
But…the SkyRyders remain a male dominated Corps where Alisha’s sense of right and wrong often clashes with her superiors. How long can a rebellious young woman survive in a regimented Corps?
 
Excerpt
While no one liked the new laws, everyone understood the necessity. The world simply could not support the pre-war population. Unfortunately, it made virgins easy targets for men intent on passing on their genes to the next generation. Some seduced the girl so subtly that she believed she’d decided her own fate, and others offered her parents a valuable position in the government, or a substantial contract, or just paid them in cold, hard currency.
 Amazing! I escape one type of bastard only to fall into the hands of another. At least David didn’t pretend he cared about me. He didn’t make me love him with all my heart.
Alisha forced the tears to stop.
It’s over and done with. You gave him what he wanted. He has no further need of you unless by some odd chance you are pregnant.
She dressed and stepped back into the room, trying to look as stone-cold as the colonel. She picked up her pack and hobbled to the door. “Can you let me out?”
***
Logan wished he could do that without getting so near her, but the damn door would only open to his print, so he had no choice.
He placed his hand on the screen, standing as far away as possible.
Alisha placed her hand on the doorknob but didn’t pull it. She spent a moment forming her question before she spoke. “I just want to know one thing. I thought last night was incredible, but maybe that’s just because I don’t know anything.” She looked up at him in confusion. “Wasn’t it good for you?” she asked, the pain and humiliation clear in her voice.
Logan had to close his mind to her pain, or he’d be pulling her into his arms, begging her to forgive him. “It was good, but even good sex grows stale over time, and then all that’s left is complications and problems. You can do better than me, Alisha. You will do better. Just give it time.”
Alisha had escaped from his room before the word “time” left his mouth.
Logan sat down on the bed. Every fiber of his body screamed he had just made the worst mistake of his life. He desperately wanted to run after her and bring her back into his room and his heart.
But she hasn’t left your heart. Can’t you tell? Can’t you feel how your heart squeezes so tight it might just collapse into its own little black hole, sucking up every piece of joy and happiness in the world?
“I did the right thing,” he whispered.
If that was true, then why did it feel so horribly wrong?

Love, Texas Style
 
Is there anything worse than a beautiful love affair ending suddenly due to a misunderstanding? When we are rash and impulsive, and jump to conclusions, we can be our own worst enemies. Things are not always as they seem to be, and we should always give the one we love a chance to explain.
 
In Love, Texas Style, Amy did not give Chase a chance to explain. She not only walked out but moved out of town and cut him off. Since she never talked it through or dealt with her sorrow, for years she was unable to move on and find love again.  
 
I wrote Love, Texas Style as a novelette for the RB4U 2016 anthology, Roping the Cowboy. Instead of writing a traditional cowboy story I wrote a contemporary romance set in rural Texas, a place where a man’s word is his honor, and a handshake is as binding as a signed contract. These characters live by the cowboy code of decency and values, and that’s why Chase’s betrayal hit Amy so hard.
 
Roping the Cowboy has 9 unique novelettes from sweet to sizzling. It is available on Amazon now for preorder: https://amzn.com/B01M0V7X71 and will be delivered to your reading device on October 15, 2016. For story excerpts go to: http://www.romancebooks4us.com/Roping_the_C.html

Lucian Cole was the exact copy of a successful businessman. From his custom-tailored suits to his dedication to his tech company, he lived for work. But lately, a restlessness had come over him, and it had been driving him to find someone to share his life with. 

Easier said than done. 

The women he dated were more interested in his money and his position in life than getting to know him, and he started to think that he would never find the right woman. Seeing his sister’s happiness with his best friend had given him hope that something might change, but after years of choosing work over dating, he might had to admit to himself that he missed the one woman he was meant to be with. 

Ellie Roth loved color, art, and design, and it permeated every part of her life. She had settled into her career over the years, finding that she managed projects more than she designed, and each day she found that she missed letting her creative side shine through. Although her life hadn’t gone exactly the way she planned, she’s stunned when she receives a wedding invitation from her ex-boyfriend and her old roommate. And now she needs a date, the sooner the better. 

At her friend Nina's suggestion, Ellie made an appointment with Rebecca Kane at Liaison to ask for the slim chance that one of her escorts could pretend to be her boyfriend. What she hadn’t counted on was meeting Lucian Cole and her instant attraction to the man. But with his expensive suit, his perfectly combed hair, and his gorgeous face, she knew that he wasn’t meant for her. 

After presenting her request to Rebecca, Lucian quickly offers to pose as her boyfriend. Pushing aside her attraction, she knew that nothing could come from her interest to Lucian and scoffed at the idea. They were complete opposites. But the more she refused, the more he charmed his way into her life, until she found herself agreeing to the preposterous plan.

She walked out of the office and toward the elevators, aware of his slight touch on her arm and his arm brushing her shoulder with each step.  She felt as though she’d run a marathon by the time they arrived at the exit.  When she turned to say good-bye, he walked her back into the elevator until she was pressed back against the farthest wall.

After the doors had closed, he reached behind him and absently flipped the stop elevator button, which caused the elevator car to darken, giving him a more dangerous air.  She couldn’t decipher his look as he crowded her against the wall, but she could feel the constrained energy that pulsed through his body and into hers.  Instead of shrinking away from the effect he had on her, she held her ground.

“At least you’re not immune to me,” he murmured.

“I have a feeling that very few women are.”

He pressed against her, and she could feel the vibrations from his deep laughter pass through her.  She sucked in a breath and closed her eyes as she felt his taut chest, muscular and hard, as he leaned against her.  Her hands itched to travel up his stomach and caress his chest, and feel his hardness for herself.  Her eyes kept traveling along the length of his body, not caring how much time had passed.

“I never denied that I was attracted to you.  All I said was that I can’t see other people believing that we’re a couple,” she muttered.

He captured her gaze for a split second before he lowered his head and brushed his lips against hers in a touch so gentle, she thought she might have imagined it.  Without conscious thought, she leaned toward him, wanting more than a simple touch, but he cupped her cheeks in his hands and captured her gaze in his unwavering one.

“If we weren’t in an elevator, in a public building, I would show you how compatible we are,” he growled.

“We just met.  I would like to get to know you before I do something stupid, like dive in headfirst and have an affair with you.”

“It wouldn’t be an affair, love,” he promised.

“Do you call all the women you know love?” she asked.

He shook his head.  “Get to know me, and you’ll see how serious I am,” he growled.

She shook her head, but she didn’t know whether she was trying to deny his words, or whether she contemplated taking him up on his offer.  The sooner he realized that she wasn’t his type of woman, the sooner he would move on.  Her heart kicked in her chest, hard and painfully, at the thought of him with another woman.

The side of his mouth lifted, and her breath caught in her throat.  He wasn’t the type of man who would give up on something that he wanted, and at the moment, he wanted her.

She’d never been a cautious woman when it came to something she wanted, but wanting this man was borderline lunacy.  Her mind flipped back and forth, all while she kept her eyes on his.  She tried to clear some of the fog that had descended from his nearness, but he interpreted her movement as denial.

“I guess I’ll have to convince you then.”  He groaned.

Before she could figure out what he meant, he leaned toward her and captured her mouth in a kiss so decadent, she felt her knees weaken and her body shake with a need she’d never felt before in her life.

She gripped his forearms for support, and when she sucked in a breath at the hard muscles underneath her hands, he took advantage and deepened the kiss.  His tongue swept in.  As he tasted her, her hands crawled up his arms until she wrapped them around his shoulders and hung on.

She heard a ringing in a distance, and moaned a protest when he broke the kiss.  Her chest heaved with exertion, and when her thoughts solidified several moments after he’d pulled away, she realized that her arms were still wrapped around his shoulders.  Instead of pulling away as he would have expected, she laid her head on his chest and listened to the steady beat of his heart.

“That was easy,” she murmured.

“What was?” he asked.

“To forget where I was, and kiss a man I just met.”

Each time a book is released, we like to celebrate. After all, putting a book out is a lot of work. Starting with a dream or idea, the writer has to put the images on paper, crafting the perfect story. Next they go through the edits where the story is fine tuned and polished. Finally, the book gets a cover and is formatted. When it is released, it's a time for celebration. Today, Falling Awake is released and since this is the first in a series, I know you are going to be excited to find out what happens, even while you wait for the second book! Here you go!!

Blurb:
Sixteen year old Pria Jensen thinks that she's living a normal and happy teenage life. That is, until she meets Caleb and discovers that her life hasn't happened yet.
When Pria finds herself at the center of an age old battle of myth and extreme power, she must put all her faith into the very person who seems to have the fewest answers- herself.
As Pria learns more about Caleb and where he really came from, she quickly learns to accept that reality is not what she thought it was.
And when Caleb vows to help keep Pria alive, she has no choice but to ignore the whispers of her heart and trust Caleb no matter what. Even if he has secrets of his own…
Book one in the Falling Awake Series
 
Excerpt: 
“Caleb, what’s happening to me?”
He glanced at me and turned his body a fraction so I had his full attention. “I’m trying to figure that out.”
“Is it magic?”
“I think it’s bigger than that.”
“So these people looking for me, they were right?”
“I think so.”
“This is crazy,” I said in disbelief. “I keep thinking I might wake up one day and all of this will just be one big misunderstanding, but it’s becoming more real.”
“Do you want to wake up?” he asked.
I thought back to the very first moment I laid eyes on Caleb and all the crap that had happened since. My life was a mess and a lie. I was in physical danger and lusting after someone I could never have. “Not all of the time,” I said, my breathing becoming shallow. “Sometimes I’m scared I’ll wake up and realize the best parts of this nightmare are just a dream.”
“Sometimes you have to dream to get to what’s real.”
“I’m sick of dreaming,” I said, catching the glint in his eye. I wanted him to close this space between us, and I wanted him to kiss me right now. I could almost feel his mouth on mine. I could feel his hands in my hair, tugging my head back softly as he covered my mouth with his own. I could feel every bit of him in my soul, yet he hadn’t lain a finger on me; I wanted to scream.
