Blurb:

In public they are a proper couple in every way, but behind closed doors they explore rough desires that could prove more than they can handle.

Mariah and James share dark passions and are a match in every way but marriage is only the beginning of their journey.
Mariah wants more of James' intense instruction but James pulls away. She must tempt him, trust him, and prove to him that the ghosts of their childhood losses won't keep them from a long and happy marriage and unspeakable pleasure.


Excerpt:

James Montford slowed his horse to a walk as he took in the view of Mariah Griffin trotting her prize black mare. The woman’s lush curves and fearless nature called to him.

When she looked over her shoulder for him, she pulled up and turned to trot in his direction. “Are you tired, my lord?” Her breasts bounced as she brought her horse to a stop. The dress was in no way revealing, but James had an active imagination.

“Not at all. Simply enjoying the view of your uncle’s estate.” He knew she’d never believe it, which was precisely why he’d said it.

“If you’re bored, please do not continue on my account. Alice’s headache ruined your afternoon of riding with her. I simply needed to get some air, and on my uncle’s estate I can ride alone with no impropriety. You need not feel obligated.” She walked her horse around his, circling him like a vulture.

“I enjoy riding as well, Miss Griffin. Your company only adds to the view.” James had no designs on Alice, Mariah’s cousin, but her parents wanted him for a son-in-law. With neighbouring estates, the socialisation was inevitable. Until Mariah’s arrival, part chaperone and all friend for Alice, James had not spent much time here.

He and Mariah spoke rather openly to one another but stayed away from any topics of significance. That suited him well. He was in no haste to marry. The institution made most people he knew miserable. Mariah didn’t pressure him about Alice or any other attachment.

“View?” She looked down with a grin. “My mare is not for sale, my lord.”

He chuckled. She rebuffed his compliment and yet a touch of pink glowed in her cheeks. “I’m not shopping for horses. I have a well-stocked stable.”

“So I hear. My aunt wanted me to invite you to dinner. Hopefully, Alice’s headache has passed.” Mariah’s face turned serious as she nodded to the sky. “Rain is coming.
We should go back.”

“Eager to escape me?” He glanced up and saw her assessment was accurate. Annoyance boiled in his veins. Nature plotted to keep him from some relaxing time alone with Mariah. His desire for her fought his need to remain unattached.

Mariah made him feel things no other woman had. But she was a lady, the daughter of a rich man. Innocent and honourable in all things. Yet they had a connection. He was an earl, worthy of her, but if she knew his true nature, he suspected she’d run.

He knew she had three brothers. Perhaps if he treated her like a little sister, the lust would pass. “Shall we race?” he asked.

She nodded. Few men would suggest such a thing to a grown woman, but they’d begun a habit of teasing one another already. He wanted to watch her best him. It’d provide interesting dinner conversation.

“One, two, three.” He took off, and she didn’t sprint past him. Her lighter body and sleeker horse should’ve overtaken him at the average pace he’d set his mount. James wondered if she was now taking in the view? He felt lightheaded for a moment as his stomach ached in confusion and desire. To posses her was a dream, but dreams were false and easy. Reality hurt people, and he had no wish to upset anyone. He’d created a quiet life he could tolerate.

He pulled up at the stable and entered. Dismounting, he looked about for the stable boy and heard rustling in the hay. Defiling a chamber maid was no excuse for neglecting duty. James rounded the stall to chastise the couple. He stopped in his tracks and wanted to use his riding crop in a multitude of ways. Alice’s headache had apparently been cured by the affections of the vicar.

“Edmund?” James levelled a challenging glance at the man.

The vicar stepped in front of the dishevelled young woman. “Forgive me, my lord.”

“Your lordship.” Alice tried to cover herself.

“You’ve won, my lord. The rain is starting. Where is everyone?” Mariah followed James’ path, and her jaw dropped as she took in the scene.

James helped her off her horse, relishing the feel of her firm body beneath his hands. She barely gave him a nod as she glared at her cousin. The play of the race and the weather no longer proved of interest to either of them.

“Alice!” Mariah grabbed her cousin and pulled her away from Edmund’s arms. “What are you doing?”

Blurb:

Sex and friendship don't mix but the explosion can trigger love if only Tom can convince the sexy Greek, Gus, to open himself up to the possibility.

Can two men have sex and stay friends? Best friends since college, Tom and Gus have been through a lot. Dragging Gus out of a bad mood is easy, but the problem is Gus' recent breakup with a mutual friend. Tom wants Gus for himself and sets out to prove that friends can screw around and stay friends. But he wants more and confessing his feelings is harder than seduction.

Excerpt:


Tom Stewart parked in front of Little Mykonos in Greek town and headed into the bar side of the building owned by his friend Augustus Theomopolous, better known as Gus.

The opposite side was a cosy Greek restaurant typical in Chicago, but this one felt like home to Tom.

When he entered, things seemed immediately out of place with Gus’ Uncle Louis behind the black lacquer bar. “Where is he?” Tom asked.

“Back booth. I know it’s Gus’ place, but he knows he can’t drink while he works. I called his brother in. Nemo’ll be here soon.”

“Thanks.” Tom walked towards the back. He and Gus had been fast friends at Northwestern, both on the swim team with scholarships. Tom had even worked summers here at Louis’ restaurant for extra money. And to hang out with Gus.

They’d stayed close along with two other friends from the football team. Gay wasn’t necessarily cool ten years ago when they’d started college, so the jocks who didn’t go for the cheerleaders stuck together and kept quiet for the most part.

The familiar zing of desire hit Tom as he saw Gus. Six feet tall, with medium olive complexion, dark brown eyes, and lots of jet black hair, he looked full-blooded Greek despite being only half. Tom knew Gus’ family almost as well as his own.

They’d been so close for so long, Tom had learned to hide his desire and be happy with the friendship. But the feelings never went away. In all these years as friends, Tom had never made a move. It always seemed one of them was in a relationship when the other was free.

And friends dating friends got messy, as Gus had recently discovered.

Shifting Sides
Cheryl Dragon

In spite of being held captive by sadistic scientists, shifters Kiren and Breman forged a relationship. The evacuation of Earth forced them apart but their mutual lust never died. Now Breman has the chance to bring Kiren back to the rebel colony with him.

Cat-shifter Kiren has missed her dragon-shifter mate and when Breman catches up with her on Old Earth, their lust gets the best of them—for once without limits or spectators. Finally sharing all their secrets, Breman has a plan. Freedom and passion are within reach if they can escape the assassins in orbit.

Excerpt:

An Excerpt From: SHIFTING SIDES
Copyright © CHERYL DRAGON, 2009
Kiren turned suddenly and her green eyes flashed with recognition and relief Breman wanted to see. No anger or fear reflected in her body language and he knew her well enough to read every muscle twitch.

“Long time no see.” He leaned on the wall next to her and felt something move under his shoulder.

Out of nowhere the vault doors slid shut with no chance to make an escape. He stared at it, stunned. Nothing with power still worked on this planet as far as he knew. The backup to this deep vault had somehow remained untouched. A pressure trigger? A booby trap?

“What did you do?” She ran to the door and tried to move it.

He threw all his strength into helping her but it was no use. “I don’t know what happened. Everything electronic here is dead.”

“Obviously not or it’s a different sort of lock. What are you doing here anyway?” She turned to him, her angled features furrowed in frustration.

“I needed to see you. You’re okay?” he asked.

“I’m fine. I can take care of myself. How’s your rebel colony?” She tried the switch for the door and examined the wall for a switch or trigger. Finally she slammed it with her fist.

Breman was in no hurry to escape. A captive audience would help but her heat and scent distracted him from logic. “Good. Safe. Free. You’d be happy there. No experiments or captivity.” He slid a hand on her tense shoulder. Kiren didn’t want to be locked anywhere.

Neither did he but being locked up with her made it better.

She relaxed a bit under his touch. “The experiments don’t happen anymore. Nothing like that with the new government. I work recovering items and I’m not a captive. You and your shifters can live like wild animals—I won’t.”

“It’s not that bad. Shifters are free. Some have human mates. Some live in packs while some live as humans and only shift when they feel the need. We’re not the only ones the government oppressed. You’re sure you don’t want to try freedom. Do you like a leash?” He moved behind her and pressed his chest to her back. Kiren’s skin was always so soft.

All the things he’d longed to do with her rushed to mind. All the things the scientists made them do left him wary of her reaction. One shift and a swipe of her claws and he’d be dead.

Judging the risk worth it, he nuzzled the back of her neck, brushing her long brown hair aside. “I’ve missed you.”

Kiren leaned into him. “You know there is a death order out on you from New Earth. You’re considered dangerous.”

He pulled her closer and her rear brushed his erection. “Don’t you ever wonder about it? The freedom. All the things they’d never let us do?”

“They were experimenting with our reproductive capabilities. If it didn’t result in potential pregnancy…” She shuddered.

“The shock collars are gone.” He held her, letting his hands glide over the curve of her hip and onto her flat stomach. “I wanted you before the experiments. I don’t care about reproduction. I want you still.”

“All the things we couldn’t do.” Her voice cracked as her fingers pulled his hands up. “I’ve thought about it.”

Her high round breasts felt warm and her hard nipples pressed to his palms. Relief and arousal mixed in him. She wanted him now—not just in captivity.

Breman turned her and pressed her back to the wall. They could be locked here forever for all he cared. He kissed her mouth slowly and then deepened it as her arms pulled him closer. No rush of people watching, no pressure to perform—only here and now could he sample and seduce her.

Her hands worked down his back and cupped his ass. Kiren’s eagerness aroused him more. He looked around, waiting for the shock correction. Finally he laughed at himself. They were truly alone. He didn’t have to share her with others or hide anything from the prying eyes of the scientists. They weren’t going to be watched and that fact only made it harder to control his need for her.

“No one is watching. We’re free. I want your tongue on my body. Your mouth.” She kissed his throat.

He wanted that so badly his own mouth went dry. “What about the death order? You don’t want to kill me?”

Kiren smiled up at him. “Right now I want you alive. We deserve this much.”

Blurb:

Exes Evan and Stacey get a lesson in mixing business with pleasure that might just bring them back together.Three-ways and sharing men are nothing new for Evan and Stacey, but when their potential clients invite them to an optional company sex retreat on a tropical island, these exes jump at the chance to explore their sexual fantasies in a private villa. Mixing business with pleasure could lose them the deal of their careers or bring them back to the love and relationship they both need.

Excerpt:

Evan walked into Stacey’s office without knocking, closed the door and locked it. “Told the boss. We’re good.”

“No issue with us both off for a week?”

“I told him the deal was in the bag if we play nice. It’s a Euro thing to do the details. When he heard Carpe Amor is picking up the tab, he told me to get the deal.” He looked into her soft brown eyes and saw a spark of hesitation. “What? Sex with no strings, no guilt, and no repercussions. That’s what you’ve always wanted. There are people who will like you better because you’re not as uptight as you act.”

She stood and smacked his arm. “I’m professional, not uptight. I don’t make the rules. Before you, I was normal.” A strand of pale blonde hair escaped her trendy twist hairstyle that kept her wild waves in check.

All the men fantasised about her. Five foot eight with curves that never quit. She was no skinny model, but who wanted bony? Lush and fair, she kept herself in a size ten. Her nails were polished, her makeup perfect, but he’d seen her without any and wanted more of that wild side. “You’re normal, just sexually charged. You don’t have to be professional this week. You have to enjoy yourself, and that’s all.” He pulled her close and let the feel of her curves fire him up. Their encounters at work were quick so as not to be caught. Now they had a week together. Evan refused to screw up again.

“What if they want something we don’t like?” She pressed to him, resting her head on his shoulder as though they were still together. The mixed signals drove him crazy, but he’d rather have a bit of her than nothing. The darker and deeper side of him wanted all of her, all the time. If only he deserved her.

“You can’t like every kink out there. Relax.” He kissed her neck. “You’ll want enough to prove yourself not a prude. Just shut off your work brain. It’s a vacation, and we don’t even have to use vacation days for it. So get that through your head.”

He felt her arms relax and wind around his waist. Evan had missed her, not just women but her. All the blame belonged on him. He’d pushed her away, but she’d let him be himself the way no one else had. Giving in to men without her had been a mistake, and he’d paid for it. Two years with her, one year without. He knew what he was missing and hated himself. Maybe someday, he’d tell her there had been no women but her in that year. For now, he had a chance to share a fantasy with her again. He couldn’t screw it up. Instead, he’d take every advantage.

“Once we’re there, it’ll be real. It still feels like a dream.” She nuzzled his neck as her hips rocked side-to-side, egging on his growing erection. “We’re a good team for this deal.”

“We’re a good team, period.” He kissed her slowly, letting his hand dig into her thick hair. As he deepened the kiss, Evan pulled the combs out of her hair and let it fall. Then he tugged up her skirt to reveal those hot-pink, lace, thong panties she favoured. The contrast to her pale skin made Evan fully hard. No matter how many times he saw her like this, he craved her. Classy with a classic style, she’d risen above her poor roots, a background they shared. Now, she let herself enjoy small luxuries and let her little quirks show where no one would see.

“Not here,” she protested.

Tugging her thong to one side, Evan slid two fingers between her soft thighs and over her bare pussy lips. All the way back, he found her moist and her hips swayed for more with the slightest flicks.
