Once Upon a Time
Eddie Cleveland - 2018
The one person who haunts your dreams, crushing your soul when you wake up and realize they're gone. The one person whose name is tattooed forever across your heart, like the clashing kaleidoscope of tattoos that run down his arms. The one person who with you wish you could have had that magical fairy tale ending. For me that was Connor McLean. My brother's best friend. I've loved him my entire life. And I've been the invisible sidekick. The pesky little girl with fluffy hair and gangly legs. I always thought I'd grow up and he'd finally see the real me. That he'd watch the little girl blossom into a woman worthy of his love. But he left. Connor joined the SEALs and broke my heart. So, when I see his familiar swagger across the bar. When his cocky smirk makes my heart flutter, I know this is my chance. It's wrong to deceive him. To pretend I don't know him. But I need him to give me one night. One chance to see that I'm not a little girl anymore. However, my secret is nothing compared to the one Connor has been holding all these years. The one that could tear us apart before we ever have a chance. *** Author's Note:*** This book was originally published as “The Woodsman’s Baby” in June of 2017. The truth is, this novel never really fit into the woodsman world very well. The characters you meet, including the hero, are all people featured in my Fairy Tale SEAL series. That’s why I have republished and rebranded this book to fit the proper series. If you purchased or read this book under the title “The Woodsman’s Baby” please note that this is the same story.
Sheer Torture
Hannah Ford - 2018
The words burned against my brain, searing hot. Then another thought, more dangerous than the first. Tie her wrists, brand her, teach her. She was wearing a dress that was a size too small, and I knew immediately she didn’t have a boyfriend waiting for her at home, because no man would have let her out of the house in that. The dress was red. Short. A sweetheart neckline that was supposed to make her look innocent, but did nothing except push her full curves up and over the material. Her hair was dirty blond and long, tousled around her shoulders. She was sipping a glass of champagne and looking around nervously, her wide eyes flicking from person to person at the party, as if she were afraid she was going to get caught. What have you done, bad girl? Something you should be punished for? My palm burned as I imagined taking her over my knee, that short little dress pushed up, the place between her legs pulsing. The feeling of desire I had looking at her was like an electric shock to my soul. My instincts said to leave her alone, that this would end in nothing but tragedy. My instincts had always served me well in the past. But this time, I decided to ignore them. An innocent girl. A ruthless man. An inevitable, sordid devastation…
