Excerpt

RoomHate Excerpt

Copyright © 2016 by Penelope Ward

My heart felt like it was pounding out of my chest. Watching this whole thing unfold had made me totally lose sense of reality. I felt like I’d been experiencing every movement, every feeling right along with him, except I wasn’t allowed to come. It was as if I’d seriously lost my mind in the process. That was the only thing that could possibly explain why my body decided to betray me, letting out an involuntary sigh….moan? I wasn’t sure and couldn’t even tell you what it was except to say whatever sound I made caused Justin to jump back. His head whipped toward me, and his shocked eyes met mine for a brief second before I ran back down the stairs.

Humiliated.

Mortified.

My heart felt like it was in my mouth. Escaping out the front door and down to the water, I continued to run aimlessly on the sand. At one point, about a mile down the beach, it became necessary to stop and catch my breath, even though I wanted to keep running. I’d gotten so wrapped up in Justin that I’d forgotten how sick I was this afternoon. It was all hitting me again as I stumbled over to the shoreline and vomited into the ocean.

I collapsed into the sand and must have sat there for over an hour. The sun was starting to go down, and the tide was coming in. It felt like everything was closing in on me. I knew I couldn’t avoid going home forever.

What if he told Jade what I’d done?

That I was watching him.

Oh God.

He was going to crucify me for this.

What excuse could I possibly give him that would explain why I was hiding behind his door, watching him ejaculate like it was a Fourth of July fireworks performance?

I decided that I needed to get home before Jade did. Maybe I could convince him not to say anything. Brushing the sand off my thighs, I made my way back over to the house.

My heart nearly stopped upon finding Justin standing in the kitchen, drinking out of a half-gallon of orange juice. I stood silently behind him and watched as he put the container back.

Justin turned around and finally noticed me standing there. His hair was wet, making it appear brown instead of blonde. He must have taken a shower to wash away the awkwardness of our encounter. Looking painfully handsome in a brown distressed t-shirt that fit his chest like a glove, he just stared me down.

Here it comes.

I braced myself for his humiliating words. My heart was beating out of my chest as he just continued to look at me blankly without saying anything. He slowly walked toward me, and all of the muscles in my body tightened. He was going to get in my face and do it.

Shit.

Blurb

From New York Times Bestselling Author, Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.

Sharing a summer house with a hot-as-hell roommate should be a dream come true, right?

Not when it’s Justin…the only person I’d ever loved…who now hates me.

When my grandmother died and left me half of the house on Aquidneck Island, there was a catch: the other half would go to the boy she helped raise.

The same boy who turned into the teenager whose heart I broke years ago.

The same teenager who’s now a man with a hard body and a hardass personality to match.

I hadn’t seen him in years, and now we’re living together because neither one of us is willing to give up the house.

The worst part? He didn’t come alone.

I’d soon realize there’s a thin line between love and hate. I could see through that smug smile. Beneath it all…the boy is still there. So is our connection.

The problem is…now that I can’t have Justin, I’ve never wanted him more.

Author's note – RoomHate is a full-length standalone novel. Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

BLOG TOUR AND REVIEW FOR LOVE ME ALWAYS BY MICHELLE LYNN

BLURB:

Sadie Miller and Brady Carson began their journey together two years ago. Now,

after most of their friends have married, it’s finally their turn to say I do.

Sadie and her bridezilla nature have made the Miller/Carson wedding the event

of the year. The cake, the caterer, and the flowers are all crossed off her list. But

she soon realizes she can’t hide the guilt from her actions years before behind the

façade of a big wedding. And if she wants her groom waiting at the end of the

aisle, she needs to be honest with him.

Brady has always been the patient one. He’s the father figure and sensible one of

the group. But the fears of failing at marriage still run deep within him. A week

before the girl he lives for takes his name, a surprise shows up on his doorstep,

and his neatly organized life is thrown off-kilter.

Once again, Sadie and Brady are tested by the ghosts of their pasts. However, this

time they must come together if they plan on living happily ever after.

EXCERPT:

 I stand and swing my keys around my finger. An internal debate weighs inside of

me on whether I should leave or not. “I’m going to head out.”

Trey swings his arm around my neck and puts me in a headlock. “Nah, we’re

going to the park.” His knuckles rub along my skull.

“I’d rather leave.”

“I’d rather get laid every night, but those days are long gone.” Trey, Grant and

Rob laugh. Paige hits Rob in the stomach and he pulls her closer to him. They’re

still in that happily-ever-after phase. When you don’t see your relationship as

anything but perfect. I miss those times.

Title: A Date With The Devil

Author: Kira Adams

Release Date: May 31, 2015
Genre: Romantic Suspense

Goodreads

Synopsis:

The Monster.
In one moment, my entire life was ripped away from me. I ignored the warning signs until it was too late. Until I became the victim.

He took my life away from me; my freedom, my courage. I've lived my life in debilitating fear since that fateful day.

The Savior.
He was there the day it all went down, and he's been by my side ever since. He's been the only thing that's kept me going.

He's my best friend, but he wants more. I'm terrified to lose him. I'm terrified he'll leave.

One tried to kill me.

One brought me back to life.

I'll never be the same person again--that girl died when the match was dropped. Too much has already been stolen from me.

It's time to take back what's mine.

Excerpt:

I knew deep down inside there was a possibility he would take it to that dark place, I just never admitted it aloud. I knew if I did, it would become real and I had been living in my own lie for so long; I didn’t want to believe it.

It isn’t until I smell the gasoline that I know we are at a point of no return.

"What are you doing?" I sputter out, gasping for breath. My ribs ache, and I have a splitting headache. I am blinking rapidly in an attempt to gain my bearings. I can feel the cold, hard concrete beneath me and I realize I am lying on the ground outside. The wind stings my face, sending goose bumps throughout my entire body.

Why can't I move?

Fear begins to accelerate through my bones at a rapid rate. I can feel my heart beating ferociously against my chest.

Why can't I move?

I'm still blinking continuously, hoping this is all just a bad dream.

"You should have listened, Bryce. You never listen."

I rack my brain quickly trying to remember what, if anything I did wrong this time. That's when Tyson's face pops into my head. Tyson was going to be my accomplice tonight. He didn’t know it, but he was going to help me escape this hell I’ve been confined in for the past couple of years.

I swallow loudly.

He warned you, my inner voice scolds me. The same voice that has held me frozen in fear in our relationship for the past two years.

I'm looking up at Robbie, and I don't even recognize him. His eyes are cold and dark, his expression blank.

That's when I see the match. He flicks it across the back of the holder and a flame ignites.

"No! No! Please!" I'm squirming around, but excruciating pain is shooting throughout my entire body.

"Just remember Bryce, you did this to yourself."

And then he drops the match.
