Over to you Emily!
Thank you so much Kooks. Here goes!
Emily A. Lawrence lives in
Transylvania with her family, hence her love for vampires and paranormal books.
She is extremely passionate about fiction and has been writing stories, mostly
fan fiction, for years now, but only began thinking seriously about publishing
approximately a year ago. Having her family's support, and encouraged by
friends and fellow authors, she pursued her dream of becoming a published
author.
Emily loves creating new
characters with whom readers can identify themselves, and losing herself in
their worlds. Usually, she writes contemporary romance in three heat levels:
sweet, sensual and erotic. However, she would like to try her hand at other
genres one day, such as paranormal or mystery.
When she's not writing, she
enjoys traveling and experiencing new cultures, new sceneries, food and meeting
new people, or simply reading a good book.
Book title: Hopeful Dreams and
New Beginnings – Book 2
Prequel: Hot Dreams of a
Lonely Soul – Book 1
Genre: Contemporary
Erotic Romance
Book blurb:
After two traumatic years
spent with her abusive ex husband, Carly swore that she would never remarry.
With a low self-esteem and haunting demons from her past refusing to relinquish
their grip, she could hardly confide in men until she met Robert, her handsome
boss who managed to sweep her off her feet and show her the time of her life.
With his help, her fears and
frustrations became a swell of lust, a wave of desire that aroused her numb
senses, restoring her lost confidence and reviving her need for a man’s touch
and affection, needs that she had suppressed for such a long time.
Naughty, erotic fantasies
are fulfilled while on a well deserved vacation to the Andros Island in
Bahamas, adding more spice to their steamy sex life.
Will Robert manage to
convince her to give marriage another chance and start a new chapter in their
lives?

Excerpt:
“Why are you so afraid that
I’m going to leave, anyway?” she asked, running her hand up and down his firm
abs. She could feel his muscles contract under her fingertips.
“Because it’s happened
before,” he answered in a low, feeble tone.
Carly tilted her head up to
look at him, taken aback by his answer. “What?”
“Yes, I’ve been dumped
before. After that I could no longer trust women. I refused to get emotionally
involved with anyone. It was nothing but no-strings-attached sex for me.”
She took a moment to process
his words. “Who would want to leave you? You’re the sweetest, craziest,
naughtiest man I’ve ever met and if someone locked me up in here with you for
the rest of my life, I’d be more than happy to accept such punishment.” She
pressed her lips to the pulse that was pounding in his throat, amazed that a
sexy, clever guy like him would have troubles in love. Unable to help herself
and feeling the need to erase the unwelcome memories she had stirred, she gave
in to the impulse and licked along a damp line up his neck, nipping at his chin
on the way. She hoped that the sensual treatment she was giving him was enough
to make him put everything behind.
His voice was husky when he
spoke, “I guess she had better plans…”
“Nothing could be better
than this,” she stated and offered him a scorching kiss, devouring his mouth
possessively. It was her turn to make him feel at ease. Determination oozed
from every pore of her body, and she did everything she could to make him
understand that she had no intention of leaving him.
“When you…showed up…for the
job interview…” He tried to speak, but she kept interrupting him with kisses,
his own tongue playing with hers with an eroticism that made her head swim and
her need for him grow.
“Yes?” she asked, curious to
hear what he had to say. She angled her head down and moved her mouth back to
his neck, then swept it over the curve of his cheekbones, his stubble tickling
her soft lips. Her palms were splayed against his chest and her fingers toyed
with his nipples in a way that she knew inflamed him.
Robert let out a low roar
and moaned her name unintelligibly, but he seemed to struggle to concentrate.
“Carly…the moment I saw you…I was struck by your beauty. You innocent smile was
the sweetest thing I had seen. I went home from work that day and nearly
crashed the car twice. I couldn’t stop thinking of you. It was not something
that I had experienced before and I wasn’t sure how to act. Then…once I found
out what had happened to you I got so angry. I wanted you even more. I wanted
you so much that I ended up knocking on your door in the middle of the night
and asking you to sleep with me. Straightforwardness is my thing, but it was
the first time I was doing that with somebody that I really liked. I acted on
an impulse because I couldn’t stand one more day without holding you in my arms
and loving you like you deserved it. I needed you…badly…”
Carly had stopped her
playful assault and was hanging onto every word he was saying to her, their
gazes locked in a heated clash. She felt an unusual sensation of weightlessness
and the illusion held for a long moment as she stood enthralled by the promise
in his eyes. “Any other man who would have showed up at that hour requesting
such a thing would have most likely made me call the police. But you…I wanted
you too even though I was scared as hell. I still can’t believe I did it. I
could not recognize myself. But I do know one thing…that was the most
beautiful, hot, sensual, enticing night in my entire life and I’d be more than
happy to have nights like that with you for as long as I live.”
Their tender embrace turned
to raging passion in the blink of an eye. Desire for one another spiraled
higher, pushing away thoughts of the past and the future, lost in their happy
place, their bodies yearning to move to the rhythm of a melody only they could
hear.
