RAFE - COVER NEW_smaller

SYNOPSIS

His name is Rafaele Vestri, Rafe to his friends. He’s tall, strong, handsome. Distant. He often comes to the coffee shop where I work, but we don’t talk much. He looks at me, though. Stares at me, his gaze heated, and I can’t help but stare back. I want him, I won’t deny it. I’ve never seen anyone that beautiful, anyone that powerful, in my life. But he’s growing more withdrawn by the day. Something’s up, and he won’t tell. I know about his past—the murder of his family when he was fifteen. I can imagine how much it must have cost him. So much violence contained in that strong body, waiting to be unleashed. What is he seeking? What is he training so hard for? Why is he looking at me like he’s dying to touch me, but won’t dare? Even as I try to stop thinking about him, get interested in other boys, I realize I can’t. I’m caught, body and soul, just like that. And I tell myself, Megan, girl… What have you gotten yourself into this time? Standalone novel. No cliffhanger. *Warning: this book contains graphic language, sex, and violence. Mature readers only. Not intended for young readers.*

EXCERPT

I’m staring at Rafe’s hand. Big, strong, callused. A scar runs from his thumb to the index finger. He’s looking at me, waiting. So I lift my hand, place it in his. It fits on his palm, smaller, darker, thinner. He seems as entranced by the contrast as I am. His fingers curl, closing around mine. His lips part, but no sound comes from his mouth, and his gaze remains fixed on our entwined hands, pale lashes hiding the gold of his eyes. Now I’m the one caught, transfixed. His mouth looks soft, vulnerable, at odds with his strong, angular features and the broad set of his shoulders. The need to touch his face is overwhelming, and I step closer, so close I can sense his scent. Not a cologne, but the deep scent of his skin, like musk and warm metal. I can see the rise and fall of his chest underneath the black Deathmoth T-shirt he’s wearing under his open jacket, see the outline of his strong pecs. We’re standing so close our breaths mingle, and our bodies touch in places as we shift, feathery brushes that send fire across my skin, into my belly, making me ache. He places his hands on my waist and I grip his thick, sinewy forearms. My stomach drops as if I’m standing at the edge of a precipice, on the edge of a moment that can change everything. What’s happening? It’s as if in the hollow darkness, the barrier between us is crumbling, the wall he’s set between himself and the world is falling. His hands tighten on my hipbones and his lashes lift, his gaze moving to my mouth. His breathing is ragged. He tugs me against him, his fingertips digging painfully into my flesh, his arms flexing with barely controlled strength. His arousal presses into my stomach, hot and thick, caught sideways in his jeans. My mind fills up with static. Rafe wants me. There’s the solid proof of his desire. The heated gaze I’ve felt so often on me is translated into a physical reaction, and it makes me feel so hot I might burst into flames. He’s so handsome, I can’t help myself. I want to stroke his square jaw, drag my fingertips over the golden stubble on his cheeks, kiss those damnable dimples.

Geneva St. John was not looking to fall in love; her shattered heart was barely recovering from her older sister’s death and coming to grips with almost losing her baby sister as well. 
When she first laid eyes on Jayson Delaney, bathed in sunlight and appearing so ethereal, it was immediately evident that he was destined to change her life. Unable to converse at first due to a language barrier, they soon discover that love is the purest form of communication between two souls. 
Although Geneva’s sister is recovering nicely from surgery, she begins to exhibit strange, unsettling behaviors that only Jayson seems to be able to comprehend.
There are some people in our world who believe the power of love can transcend death.  What kind of miracle would it take to convince us all?

**NOTE: Jayson is deaf and Geneva’s NOT fluent is sign language, so they need to communicate via technology.
About halfway through the film, Jayson turned his body slightly toward Geneva, and gently pulled her closer to him, her back now pressed against his muscular chest. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and moved her hair to one side, giving him access to her bare neck. At first, he just put his chin on her shoulder, but gradually brushed his lips just below her ear. His breathing stayed even; she could see out of the corner of her eye his gaze was glued to the TV. He couldn’t look away; he was intently reading the captions. Geneva closed her eyes, not needing captions for a French movie. She tried not to move a muscle; her body was frozen, in panic-mode. She had made many mistakes with guys throughout the years; experiencing enough one-night stands to realize sex right away often killed the possibility of a real relationship.
Suddenly, she sensed the softest kiss on her neck, as if a butterfly had landed there for a brief moment. The sensation moved to another spot; a second kiss, just below her ear. His breath was sweet, smelling of red wine; the heat of him caressed her cheek. Her body shuddered, then stiffened and her breath hitched; his reaction was similar as he sighed audibly, reaching for the remote to pause the movie. She moved away from him slightly, turning to face him as his head dropped into his hands. Placing a hand softly on his shoulder, she waited in apprehensive silence. He picked up the iPad, and stared at it for a long moment, as if collecting his thoughts.
Jayson: I was about to say I’m sorry I did that, but the truth is … I’m not sorry. I have longed to kiss you from the moment I first laid eyes on you, but wanted to wait until I was sure you were ready, that you feel what I’m feeling. I think I just got caught up in this movie, it’s so touching, passionate, and I’m very comfortable with you. I have never felt this before, with anyone. It’s like we have known each other forever, like two old souls connected somehow. He paused, took a huge breath, and then drained his wine glass. As much as I want to be with you, I feel we shouldn’t jump into anything too fast. We have become part of each other’s lives now. We’re teaching and learning from each other, and our little sisters are friends. Your friendship means everything to me. I will not do anything to ruin that. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?
He slowly turned to face her, as he bit his lower lip to cease its trembling. Her warm smile was reassuring and his face relaxed, as she signed to him deliberately. “I understand. I … feel the same.” His beautiful eyes brightened, as he rested his forehead on hers. They got lost in each other’s gaze for a few moments; Jayson finally sighed deeply, kissed her softly on the forehead, and then leaned forward to refill their glasses. Settling back on the couch, they watched the rest of the movie, occasionally sharing the box of tissues.

CJ Pinard A little about me – I’m a west coast native who has lived on both coasts and now lives near the middle, in Colorado! Coming from a family of writers and editors, I feel writing is in my blood and hope people will lose themselves for a little while in the fantasy and fun of my stories. I also love sweet red wine, the SF 49ers, and unlike most authors, I don’t have any cats. When I’m not writing, I can be found chasing around my kids or working at my day job, which I totally feel interferes with my real life, but it also gives me inspiration for my books, since reality is sometimes way more interesting than fiction. I also love getting notifications that people have sent me an email, added me on (like page) Facebook or (friend page) Facebook or on Goodreads. So stop by and say hi – don’t be shy! I’m not!

Cover Reveal: Brotherhood of Misfits: Roc by Khai L. Bayne

COMING SOON!

A Brand New Series from Khai L. Bayne

Title: Brotherhood of Misfits: Roc
Author: Khai L. Bayne
Hosted By: DRC Promotions

Synopsis

What would you do with a second chance at life? Would you go back to the same things that you were doing before, or would you embrace that chance and take a new path? Being the byproduct of a single parent home growing up, I learned quickly that life wasn’t easy and it damn sure wasn’t fair. I was faced with a choice back then; continue to stand back and watch my mother struggle with working three jobs to pay bills, put food in our stomachs, and clothes on our backs or do something about it. I chose to do something about it and for three years everything was going well, until the day that my life changed forever. When I met Jethro-Elijah ‘Eli’ Shepard, he told me that just because I wasn’t given a choice in how my life was dealt to me, didn’t mean that I’m not given a chance. He showed me that no matter what people say about you and what life throws your way, that you always have the option to either accept it or defy the odds to become something greater. My name is Archibald ‘Roc’ Rochester and when I was seventeen, I was given my second chance. How did it turn out? Well, you’ll just have to read my story to find out.

 Author Bio



 I have a wonderful, supportive husband and three beautiful children. I enjoy spending time with all of them which normally involves some baseball, shooting hoops, taking walks, watching movies, and of course reading.
My passion for reading began at a very young age and only grew over time. Whether I was bringing home a book from the library, or sneaking one of my mom's romance novels and reading by the light in the hallway when we were supposed to be sleeping, I always had a book. 
I read several different genres and subgenres, but Paranormal Romance and Romantic Suspense have always been my favorites. I read anything by Katie Reus, Lora Leigh, J.R. Ward and Rebecca Zanetti. 
I have always made up my own stories, and have just recently decided to start sharing them. I hope everyone enjoys reading them as much as I enjoy writing them.
