One Funeral


Synopsis:


 

The stakes climb higher in this second book in the No Weddings Series for Hannah Martin, a woman restrained by her past, and Cade Michaelson, the man who could help set her free.


2-OneFuneral_Cover

I’m drawn to Cade as he charms his way into more of my life and offers me something I truly haven’t ever had: a friend. Yet his humor, patience, and drop-dead sexiness take my breath away, and I know my heart is at risk. I want to move forward but am terrified I can’t.


Cade seems to have it together from his own devastating heartache. His subtle actions, however, suggest a different story. And even though he says he wants more, I wonder if he’s able to trust in our developing relationship.


As we navigate through our tangled feelings, we vow to take it slow. Yet no matter how careful we try to be, things between us intensify—and there’s nothing we can do, or want to do, to stop it.


But the biggest question remains: Is chemistry enough to move beyond the past and toward a future together?

* Exclusive Excerpt *


 

At the faux-funeral, Cade teases Hannah about bathroom trips…and other things…



We stepped out into the main room, which was done up just like a funeral viewing, from the spray of flowers at the front to the rows of uncomfortable-looking chairs. And of course, there was a huge ornate cross up on the dais, but then again, we were in a church.


Okay, this isn’t so bad. It’s a funeral.


After a quick scan of the room, I saw Cade. He looked miserable until the moment his gaze locked onto mine. Then he dropped his head, slumping in shame.


I burst out laughing.


Drawn to him, I crossed the room without a second thought. “Nice tie.”


He tugged at the bright collar at his neck, grumbling, “Don’t forget the cummerbund.”


“That’s nothing. Look at me.” I plucked at the shiny, pink fabric. “Isn’t this the most ghastly thing ever to be called a dress? It’s a monstrosity in taffeta.”


He backed up a step, making a show of visually drinking in my entire body from head to toe. “I don’t know, Maestro. All I see is a burlap bag.” His eyes flickered with heat. “And petticoats.”


My legs bounced with sudden excitement, and I forced air out of my lungs on a slow exhale. Cade did things to me—heated, body-rocking, mind-spinning things—and I wanted unlimited amounts of that kind of medicine tonight.


How ironic. I wanted some of Cade’s wild-and-crazy to calm me.


“I need you tonight, Cade. This whole” —I gestured frantically to my outfit, then his— “getup is freaking me out a little.”


He put firm hands on my shoulders, staring hard at me. “A little?”


I thought about the great strides I’d made in therapy and how what I believed became reality. I was stronger than a bridesmaid dress. I’d learned how to separate my present from my past in therapy, and there was no way I was going to let all of that progress unravel now.


Tonight, in a bright pink bridesmaid dress, I made a vow to myself to enjoy the present moment.


I tilted my head and shook it. “No, I’m okay. Even if what I’m wearing is a travesty.”


He pulled me closer and held me against his solid chest, wrapping his arms around me. “But I liked the whole ‘I need you’ part. What if I never leave your side tonight? Would that help?”


I nodded.


“Done.” He pulled back. “So to clarify the details, if I have to lift and hold your petticoats while you pee, will you lift and hold something when it’s my turn?” Wicked eyes glittered down at me.


I gaped. “You are not lifting anything of mine while I pee.”


“But I’m never leaving your side tonight.”


I cast him a sidelong glance, grumbling, “What did I just agree to?”


He chuckled, flagging down a waiter who held a tray of filled Champagne glasses. “Something very interesting from my point of view.” He grabbed two glasses. “Here, drink up. The night is young, and I intend to accompany you to no less than three bathroom trips.”


I jabbed an elbow into his ribs. “Pig.”


He coughed until his shoulders shook from laughter.


I swiped a glass from his hand and glared at him while I drank down the liquid courage, not yet caring that it would make his petticoat-lifting wishes come true.


He slid his hands into his pants pockets, rocking back on his heels, as the corners of his lips twitched. “Actually, I’ve been told I’m hung like a horse.”


I sputtered, choking on my Champagne.


He grinned. “Care to confirm?” He chugged his glass, a crime with the ten-dollars-per-swallow Cristal. “I’ll keep up with you. Then we’ll each fulfill our end of the bargain. Lift and hold. Keep practicing the technique in your mind.”


“I am not holding…there’s no way I’m touching…”


Cade grinned and leaned down, brushing his lips along my jawline. His hot breath fanned an erotic path up the side of my neck until a kiss caressed my ear. “My massive cock?”


My breaths came in short bursts, my heart racing. All I could think of now was Cade’s massive cock. And all I wanted to do was see it. Touch it.


I swallowed hard, trying to catch my breath as aching heat pulsed between my legs. When he pulled back, I stared at him. All I could manage was a nod.


What was I nodding to? That yes, I did want to touch it? My thoughts fuzzed.


“That’s right, Hannah. We both know you want to, now. I hope it’s the only thing you think about all night.”

Hector Sanchez has just finished his MBA and wants to make his mark in the world of business. After working as an assistant for members of The Mansion for the past few years, he’s ready to part ways and strike out on his own. The problem is, The Mansion isn’t ready to let him go just yet. Stacey Corsair is a former stripper who is stuck in a bad relationship with her boss. She is tough as nails and yet allows herself to be used and abused just in order to survive. She longs to find a man who is truly deserving of her love and devotion. When Hector enters her club one night, she wonders if he is that man. The Mansion makes Hector an offer he can’t refuse—membership in The Mansion—but requires that he first prove himself in business and then provide a gift to them as a sign of loyalty.

Plus, is Hector capable of giving up the woman he now loves, just for membership?

67c94-10621064_756276024430866_94935405_n


dwsynopsis


Celeste is tired. She just wants to be left alone.


For centuries, the half-blooded elf has hidden herself away from the world and lived in isolation. Things have been peaceful, quiet. But some have a greater calling, a destiny. When the humans unwittingly set about a plan to release the source of all evil back into the world, Celeste is called upon by an old ally to stop them, and to keep all of Altierra safe.


Now she must face her past as she and her allies travel across the continent to save a world she has been apart from for eons. Will even her angelic birthright and druidic powers be enough to stop the rise of the last god?


She never asked to be a hero.


Destiny can be funny that way.

dwexcerpt


Celeste moved her arms up and around Tarnelius’ neck, while his dropped to her


waist. They deepened the kiss, their tongues exploring each other’s mouth and twisting


together in an erotic tango. Tarnelius moaned into her mouth in pure rapture. She trembled


from the sheer emotion of it all. She knew that if elves died when they had nothing more to


live for, she and Tarnelius would live for an eternity because they had each other. This was


truly their happily ever after.


He broke off the kiss and inched back, trying to catch his breath and running his


hands up and down her body in a delicious caress. “Don’t stop,” she spoke inside his head.


“Don’t ever stop.”


“Celeste, my angel. Don’t ask me that now. I will never be able to refuse you. Come


on, I’m sure the others are spying on us out here, and I want our first time to be in private,


not out here in the open where anyone could interrupt us.”


She leaned forward, offering her lips to him, pressing her body completely flush


against his. He gave in and tried to give her only a brief kiss, but she reached up and


tangled her hands into his golden hair, holding him against her. She moaned as she felt him


straining against her and shivered as he caressed her wings.


He felt his control slipping as he kissed her with all the desperation of a starving


man. They needed to get themselves under control or he would take her right there. When


he felt her shiver he pulled back once more, running his hands again over her wings. She


licked her lips and closed her eyes, breathing heavily. “Does that feel good, Angel?”


“Mmm,” she answered.


He gave her a devilish grin as he stroked her feathery wings. “I had no idea your


wings were so sensitive. Come on, we need to get inside. We’ll have an eternity to get to


know each other intimately, starting tonight. I promise I will always be exactly what you


need, Celeste.”


dwreview


(I thought maybe we could put something like: See what readers are saying about Destiny’s Wings!


Or something like that)


“A good book makes you want to live in the story; a great book leaves no choice.” – A quote that fully


applies here!


I am immediately sucked into this story, wanting to know more about the characters and their world.


What I love about this particular novel is the way the descriptive is worked into the goings on and


conversations of the book, rather than separate. It makes for easier reading, easier following and is


less time consuming. A refreshing writing style!


Another thing that impresses me, being submerged in a work of fantasy is the author’s objective view


of humans. Since the POV is largely given from elven folk, we are treated to a look at what we truly


are: selfish, loud, and destructive. I even felt relieved to see the relationship between good and evil


explained; without spoiling anything I will simply state that the author has a rare and valuable sense


of understanding of the things that most humans do not. In reading this book with your mind open


even just a little you may see what I mean and come away enlightened. Worst-case scenario: you


enjoy a fun escape from reality as you become submerged into the story.


The story is immensely exciting from start to finish but also manages to keep the human aspect alive


with each character and their relationships with others. Action, drama, just the right amount of love


combined with a classic good versus bad element make this an impossible-to-put-down read. Busy


as I am, I still read in one session as I just couldn’t stop. I’m now waiting for the next one – very


impatiently.
