Cover Reveal: How We Fall by Melissa Toppen


How We Fall Cover Reveal



It’s not always about how we fall- it’s about where we end up once we land.

I remember the very first time I laid eyes on Cole Lincoln. It still feels like yesterday when he stumbled into my life with his messy brown hair and dark eyes. Even though I was only ten years old at the time, I knew right then and there that he was going to change everything.

From that point on Cole and I were always together—inseparable—and I naively believed we’d be best friends forever. But forever didn’t last nearly as long as I expected.

We grew up and grew apart, life driving the distance between us, but my love for Cole never faltered. Even long after he moved away, leaving me and our little town behind, I still carried a piece of him with me every single day. Because Cole wasn’t just my childhood best friend- the boy who knew me better than anyone else in the whole world. He was also my first love- a part of my very core.

When a tragic death brings us face to face again after six years, every single memory comes rushing to the surface. Only this is not the boy I fell in love with all those years ago. The man before me is hardened, intimidating, and so damn sexy I practically melt when those dark eyes meet mine for the first time in six years.

And like the first time he walked into my life, I know with complete certainty that everything is about to change.

How We Fall is a STANDALONE Contemporary Romance.

Calypso has been given a task… Divorcee, Eryka Demonte, wants to find the sexual gratification that had been lacking in her marriage. So she’s willing to try anything, including signing up to meet two potential lovers at what used to be an abandoned resort in West Caicos. Now run by the reclusive Ms. Calypso, Club Ecstasy Caicos boasts of the most lavish accommodations and sinful temptations. Eyrka just prays the resort’s owner knows her business, because Eryka’s in desperate need of someone with the right touch. Business partners and lovers, Luca Reed and Dre Bennet are anxious to celebrate their upcoming anniversary. Together for nearly twenty years, they want something special…and naughty. Dre thinks he’s found it when he receives a mysterious email from a Ms. Calypso. She’s preparing to open her newest exotic resort and would like them to come and test out the amenities. Eager for a tropical vacation complete with a beautiful woman, both men agree, never expecting they’ve been set up by a matching making Goddess with an agenda of her own.

Excerpt :

After kicking off her battered tennis shoes, Eyrka slipped out of her jeans and stained t-shirt while the shower heated. That’s when she noticed it. Sitting on the bathroom counter was a lone frangipani bloom that hovered over a folded piece of ivory stationary. Intrigued, she shifted the vase holding the creamy white flower with the buttercup center off to the side. Using a fingernail, she pealed back the embossed seal holding the stock card shut. In an elegant, feminine scrawl, was a message from Ms. Calypso.

Please take advantage of all the amenities, my darling Eryka. While we have a limited staff, Luis will be available for you anytime night or day. The men I’ve handpicked for your fantasy will arrive later today – so perhaps an hour or two at our in-house spa will help get you ready for your intimate encounter.

Ms. Calypso.

Personalized service indeed.” The last thing Eryka had expected was on-hand touch from the elusive resort owner, despite the woman’s promise in the acceptance email she’d received. “And she’s the second person to recommend the spa. Perhaps I should.” Leaning in to get one last sniff of the fragrant bloom, she sighed. “After my shower.”

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

Hi, I'm Dakota, an author of erotic romance (think 50 Shades of Gray - but better) and paranormal erotica. What exactly does that mean? Well, since I've always marched to the beat of different drum: it means that I get to take my unique life experiences - like putting around in the garage with my dad, or driving a train when I was ten, to create worlds where the heroines aren't necessarily June Clever, but are strong independent women who may stand on their own two feet, but long to submit to the right man.  Whether it's two friends who realize there is more than friendship between them or the sexy alien who captures his unwilling slave's heart, sparks are sure to fly! My imagination has no bounds or at least none I've found yet!
I’ve been writing professionally since 2008, but when I’m not clacking away at the keyboard, you an find me putting around the garden, out on the marching band field or cooking up something yummy in the kitchen for my kiddos.

Trouble (Bad Boy Homecoming Series) Cover Reveal by Avery Flynn

Date of Publication: June 27, 2017

Blurb


Cover reveal only - other events to be posted soon
A high school reunion is about to get down and dirty and a whole lot more complicated in this new erotic romance from award-winning author Avery Flynn.
Brains and a badass attitude. That's all troublemaker Leah Camacho took with her when she left Catfish Creek. She'd promised herself she'd never go back, but when the invite to her tenth high school reunion arrived along with the chance to show everyone who doubted her what a success she's made of herself, she couldn't resist. However, when she discovers a 15-carat, stolen diamond in her rental car's glove box, there's only one man she can turn to for help—the same sexy, stubborn domineering man who'd smashed her heart all those years ago.
Sheriff Drew Jackson knew a long time ago that Leah Camacho was nothing but trouble and has sworn to never get caught up in her again—no matter how damn sexy she is or how badly he'd failed to forget her. But, when the woman who test drove his heart right into a concrete wall rolls into Catfish Creek with some serious bad guys on her tail, it's up to him to keep her safe—even if that means guarding her hot bod 24/7 without giving into temptation or losing his mind.

Excerpt:

… I grab my purse and yank the door open. Of course, one of my nails breaks in the effort, but I’m beyond caring. I just need to escape. I rush past the cubicles toward the elevator. I’m sure no one even noticed that I left, except maybe Kim, who probably feels triumphant.
A heavy hand lands on my arm, abruptly halting my progress toward the lobby and freedom. A deep male voice growls in my ear. “I said stop.”
When I look up, angry green eyes bore down into me. Cole glances around and pulls us into an unoccupied office.
“Rose.”
I reply through gritted teeth, “Cole.”
“We need to talk.”
“This isn’t the time or the place.”
“I don’t give a fuck.” He runs a hand through his hair. His eyes now register hurt and anger in equal measure. My defenses start to lower, so I work double-time to shore them back up. “Ro, this is killing me.”
“You don’t think it’s killing me, too?” Refusing to look back into his eyes, I feign a sudden fascination with my hand, rubbing my broken nail over my index finger. Polish has chipped off that nail, too.
“The photos. Mom. Us. It’s too much.”
“Kim can provide an objective eye. Let her help you.”
He takes hold of my shoulders. “Fuck, I can’t do that. Everything is so out of whack. I need you.”
Refusing to look at him, I close my eyes. Which only intensifies my awareness of him. The heat emanating from his body, the way his fingers tighten and loosen on my shoulders. His musky scent. I could step forward and be in his embrace. It would comfort both of us. But no, he has to go through those photos. I need him to focus on the task at hand.
“Can you please help me with the photos? Nothing more. I just. Can’t. Think.” His large frame shudders.
Julie was a wonderful woman. Those photographs show her love for him. I can’t let him go through this alone.
“Yes,” I whisper, surprising us both.
He wraps me in his embrace. Being surrounded by his arms is heaven. I inhale his intoxicating scent, allowing myself to enjoy being here, my face pressed against his chest, his chin on top of my head.
A few moments pass. I need to stop this. We’re not a couple anymore. The words “Mrs. Starr Manchester” flash before my closed eyes.

About Arell Rivers

For as long as I can remember, I have been lost in a book. During my senior year in college, I picked up a Danielle Steel novel … and instantly was hooked on romance. I started writing my first novel, No One to Hold, because the characters were screaming at me to do so. The story started coming out in my dreams and attacking me in the shower, so I took to the computer to shut them up. But they kept talking. Born and raised in New Jersey, I have what some may call a “checkered past.” Prior to discovering my passion for writing romance, I practiced law, was a wedding and event planner and even dabbled in marketing. I live with a very supportive husband and two mischievous cats. When not in my writing cave, I can be found making dinner in the crock pot, working out with Shaun T or hitting the beach. I hope you enjoy my stories about driven men, strong women and the passions that ignite!
