Homegrown Terrorists vs. Navy SEALs by Sharon Hamilton #giveaway

SEAL My Home has just released, Book 2 of the Bad Boys of SEAL Team 3. It is part of my larger SEAL Brotherhood series. I’ve written the story of a Navy SEAL, raised in foster care, never knowing family, and finding it in the brotherhood of his SEAL teammates. Along the way, he uncovers a terrorist cell, who threatens to destroy everything he now holds dear.

 I debated a little before writing this story, since I’ve taken certain license with certain elements in the news around home grown terrorists. The fact is, there are terrorist training camps within the borders of the United States today. My hero questions why they are allowed to remain, just like the reader does. While I don’t solve this problem, I do reveal that this may become part of our social landscape in the months and years to come. The bombings and terrorist attacks so common in war-torn areas may be coming to our own shores in the not-too-distant future.

One of the traits that is most unique and the reason I love to write my SEAL stories is the fact that these warriors absolutely can’t stand bullies, or people who prey on the innocent, and are highly trained to defend them, even at the cost of their own lives. But this poses a problem when the acts of terror occur on home turf, and that’s where the story lies.

Then I threw in finding the love of his life, a near career-ending snowboard accident, and the appearance of family he’s never known, and my hero, Rory Kennedy, is suddenly ill-prepared for all these events, in spite of his training.

Here’s a short excerpt:

           Rory made fists with his hands, which caught the notice of the detectives. If both of them were missing, something was definitely wrong. Kyle’s brow was wrinkled, and he was gently shaking his head.

            “And you’ve had no contact since L.A. No phone calls or emails with his office, with this Derek guy?”

            “Absolutely, no. I haven’t checked my computer in a few days, but last time I did, nothing.”

            “Would you check it right now, please?” one of the detectives asked.

            Rory got up slowly, positioning his cane for steadiness. Kyle stopped him.

“Let me. Where is it?”

“Next to the bed.”

Rory walked slowly with his cane for support and leaned slightly into a stool as Kyle placed the computer on the eating bar. The two detectives looked over Rory’s shoulder. Scrolling through his Gmail account inbox, he found something he’d never seen before.

            It was a single line item with a subject line: Raymond Corrigan, from Raymond Corrigan’s computer. Underneath there was a single picture, which flashed slowly on the screen line by line. It was a picture of Raymond, bound and gagged, barefoot, sitting on a chair on a concrete floor of some dark warehouse. He was wearing an orange jumpsuit. On his lap was a copy of the New York Times dated today. His eyes were swollen shut with dark bruises. Underneath the picture were the chilling words:

            Proof of Life.

New Release!!! Only at The Cavern by Anna Alexander

Marco DeWinter is finally getting some action. Yep. A year later the latest installment of the Heroes of Saturn spin-off series is available for your reading enjoyment.

Marco was one of those characters where the moment he appeared on the scene, he demanded his own story. Seriously. All I needed a big city police contact for Dhavin and Brett to have to work with when Fiona was kidnapped in Hero Unmasked. The moment Marco opened the door and smiled, I knew I needed to know more about this man. He went from ally to antagonist in Hero Rising where he also met his heroine, although he didn't know it at the time. :)

Welcome to the Cavern where all who enter get exactly what they need.

Only at The Cavern

Book 6 in the Heroes of Saturn series

Ever since police Captain Marco DeWinter discovered Dr. Jasmine Jovanovich’s secret life as a dominatrix, he has wanted to be on the receiving end of a set of handcuffs and feel the bite of her stiletto in his back as she makes him worship at her feet.

Jasmine agrees to be his guide into the darker pleasures and is delighted when he dives in with the same enthusiasm as he does his police work. That is until he makes her question her “only at The Cavern” policy, and wants to blur the lines between her professional and personal life. When Jasmine is caught in the fallout of one of his cases, Marco must convince her that not only can she trust him to keep her body safe, but her heart as well.

Excerpt

Abby set a thick manila envelope on the table. “This was on the porch when I arrived.”

He righted the envelope to see his name and address scrawled in an elegant script across the front. In the corner was an address. No name, only a return address that he recognized.

The Cavern.

Immediately his dick began to harden and he jumped from his seat to race out of the room towards his office. “Be right back,” he mumbled.

His hands shook as he practically mauled the fastener and withdrew a black folder. Purple feathers framed his name, which was written in gold ink in the same script as the envelope. Inside were what looked like legal documents, and his eyes were immediately drawn to the two names on top. Marco DeWinter and Mistress Jasmina.

“Hot damn,” he groaned and fell into his chair behind his desk.

In the left pocket was a typewritten letter on heavy cream-colored stock. The purple feather image was stamped on the top in metallic ink. The paper fluttered as he withdrew it from the pocket and held it up to the light.

My dearest Captain,

You have been invited to join me in my dungeon at The Cavern to begin your introduction into the bondage, domination, sadist, masochist lifestyle in which you recently expressed an interest. Under my tutelage you will receive the proper instruction and guidance on how to behave as a submissive and the skills to please your Mistress. All of our interactions will be conducted with safety and respect as the utmost priorities.

In this folder you will find the contract outlining the exact details of our arrangement. Read this document in its entirety and answer all questions honestly. Any false answers or hedging

could lead to serious complications or dangerous situations, and could be grounds for immediate termination of the agreement.

The journey to accepting one’s submissive nature is difficult and mentally taxing. You will experience highs and lows you have never imagined. This lifestyle is not for everyone, and I will understand if you decide not to accept my invitation. You will learn that in all things, you always have a choice.

Please text me your response to the number listed below. If you wish to continue, bring the completed contract to the bar at Tutala, Thursday evening at 8pm to discuss your answers and solidify our arrangement. If your work schedule does not allow for this time, please let me know of an alternative.

I look forward to your reply.

Mistress Jasmina’s signature was scrawled across the bottom in purple ink along with a phone number.

“Wow.” Marco blew out a breath and wiped his hand over the back of his neck. “Wow.”

This chick was serious. If he hadn’t seen her in action the night before, he might have thought she was acting way over the top with this entire dominatrix persona. If anything, this letter coupled with the sight of her cracking that whip confirmed she was one hundred percent committed to her role. One miscalculation on her part and that sub could have been castrated on the spot.

And you want a piece of that?

Yeah. Maybe. Hell, he wasn’t certain. After what he had witnessed along with that letter, it was crystal clear this was no game to Mistress Jasmina. If he was in, he had to be in one hundred percent. If not, then he needed to leave her the hell alone and stop tormenting himself with fantasies of what might have been.

He pulled out the contract and flipped through the pages. His balls drew up into his body and he felt his eyes bug out of their sockets the more he read. Mistress Jasmina was certainly thorough. There was a section for his medical history, which was left for him to fill out, but under the instructions on how to obtain a blood test for any sexually transmitted diseases, she had marked “already fulfilled”. His blood must have been tested when he was in the hospital.

“Whoa.”

While it was comforting to know he wasn’t carrying any STDs, he was horrified to realize he hadn’t even thought about the consequences of engaging in this sort of activity. When she said safety was a priority, she was leaving no stone unturned.

After the section on the cancellation policy and communication protocols (sexting was allowed, photos were not) came the list of likes and dislikes.

“Oh. My. God,” he groaned and dropped his head in his hands. “What the fuck is a Gates of Hell?”

Rope bondage. Prison scene. Shibari. He didn’t know what two-thirds of the items were and the rest just fucking blew his mind. Whatever they were, his cock was ready to try all of them out. It was practically bursting from his pants as if it wanted to read the list itself.

“Marco. Dinner’s ready.” The patter of Abby’s footsteps drew near.

“Fuck.” He slid the fancy folder under the ink blotter and covered the contract with his arms. “I’ll be right there.”

Her cute little face appeared in the doorway. “Are you working?”

“Kinda of. Just some L&I paperwork.”

Poor girl. She had no idea her brother was such a pervert.

Eighteen years earlier, Charma lost her destined soul mate. Convinced he must be dead, she's kept her fears to herself so as not to destroy the morale of the Outsiders who already live with a shaky prophecy as their only guide.

 Dr. Jason Randall is a man used to getting what he wants. There has never been a problem he couldn't out-think or a situation he wasn't capable of handling, until his life changes in ways he could never imagine.

Now they are being hunted by not one but two demons while they strive to lead the slowly growing group of Outsiders out of the darkness and back into the light. The two strong souls will have to decide if prophecy alone is enough reason to stay together through insane odds--or if love is their true fate.

 

CONTENT ADVISORY: This is a re-release title.

Gabriel Ward has no problem with the fact that he's an Outsider. Hell, he's always known he was different. What he takes issue with is the idea that he has to follow any destiny at all. He's always taken care of himself, and there's no way he's going to start following rules now.

Loraine Peacock can speak to animals. Other than that, she thinks she's just a regular woman making her way in the world. She figures it's not that weird. Many people have unusual abilities.

But when Gabriel and Loraine are forced together by the very destiny he denies, they will both have to accept their legacy and join the Outsiders in their quest to defeat the ultimate evil. That is, if they can survive long enough to find their way to their most important destiny of all: love.

Guest Post: What Lies Beneath by Margo Diamond

To tat or not to tat – is that even a question?

I’m excited to announce the release of my first story with Ellora’s Cave—What Lies Beneath. The story was written in response to a submission call for tattoo-themed stories. Having worked for several years as a reporter and freelance writer, I love being given an assignment and then coming up with a unique hook. As I was pondering plot angles for a tattoo story, I knew I wanted to do something different. I wanted my characters to break the stereotypical images people have of tattoo artists and people who get tattoos.

Finding a story line that fit this requirement was something of a challenge, but that’s what good writers do. They find a way to make that really oddball twist work for the story. Jericho, my hero, has a lot of traits that people associate with ink slingers—he rides a Harley, wears a ponytail and exudes bad boy appeal. Who better to match him up with than a highbrow university professor? Amanda’s hallmark in the story is a strand of pearls she never takes off.

Jericho and Amanda seem an unlikely pair…and on the surface they are. The theme of the story is that looking past a person’s exterior will often reveal startling and fascinating truths about who they really are, not who they look like they are.

Have you ever been attracted to someone who seemed all wrong for you, only to find out that person was your perfect mate? How did it turn out?

If you’d like to see how things turn out for Jericho and Amanda, What Lies Beneath is available Friday, April 10 at most online retailers. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the story or read your review on Amazon.

About the Book

As a professor of historic literature at a prestigious San Francisco university, Amanda Fine has the perfect job in the perfect city. The new guy and fellow academic at work should be the perfect man for her. Except Amanda’s idea of the perfect man is Jericho, a Harley-riding, leather-wearing, ponytailed, scruffy-bearded, make-your-panties-wet, world-class bad boy. When Amanda struts into his tattoo shop ready for a down-and-dirty seduction, Jericho can only assume the high-falutin’, pearl-wearing beauty is slumming.

When their explosive chemistry starts moving toward something deeper, preconceived notions and assumptions blind Amanda and Jericho. But with love on the line, this not-so-traditional literature professor and not-so-unconventional tattoo artist need to learn to see what lies beneath.

Reader Advisory: This story has graphic sexual language and scenes—no closed bedroom doors (or other rooms) here!
