Excerpt

Right away, Keely noticed the guy getting out of the black truck beside her.

Really noticed him.

He was probably six-two, wearing a navy T-shirt that showed off enough bicep and a lot of strong forearm, one of her weaknesses. His faded jeans spotlighted an amazing ass, another weakness. If this guy had a sense of humor, he would be her trifecta. Light brown hair cropped close and what looked like a year-round tan rounded out the picture.

“Hi. Where are you going?” she asked, trying to be friendly—and see up close what color eyes he had.

Not that she was in shopping mode for a new man in her life. Starting a new film wasn’t the time to begin a new relationship, even with a man who looked this amazing. But it never hurt to look. Looking was healthy.

He turned and sized her up. Keely’s mouth went dry. Normally, she’d be pissed at a man checking her out so thoroughly. In his case, she’d overlook it.

Especially since she’d been guilty of doing the same.

Jax warbled at the stranger and Keely laughed seeing his reaction.

The man closed the gap between them. “What . . . was that?”

“This is Jax. And that . . . was his non-bark.”

The man’s espresso eyes studied her dog. “He’s a basenji.”

“How did you know? Most people have never heard of the breed.”

“I saw a movie—Goodbye, My Lady—about a basenji. Brandon De Wilde, the kid from Shane, was in it.”

Keely scratched Jax’s head. “You know Shane and Goodbye, My Lady. Are you a film buff?”

He shrugged. “My parents raised me on the classics. I go to the movies at least twice a week. Binge like a fool on Netflix. Attend film festivals.”

Keely loved classic films but some of this guy’s appeal faded. He had to be an actor. She’d dated her fair share of fellow actors when she’d arrived in Hollywood and decided she’d never do so again.

Still, curiosity led her to ask, “Are you an actor?”

“No. Stuntman and stand-in. Mac Randall.”

He offered her his hand and she shook it. Mr. Not an Actor’s appeal increased exponentially. She told herself to tamp down her interest but heard herself say, “I’m glad you know how to shake. Firm without crushing my hand. Most guys try to be cool and overdo it.”

“I’m not most guys.”

About the Author

Her historical romances bring to life loveable rogues and dashing knights, while her contemporary romances are light and flirty and sometimes contain a bit of suspense.

Haunted by his discovery of a beloved neighbor’s body floating lifeless in the lake where he’s fishing, 16-year-old Benjamin Baum is convinced she was murdered despite her death being deemed an accident.  While those around him tire of his fixation on finding a supposed killer, Ben’s alienation leads to drinking and the reader begins to wonder if he’s a reliable narrator. The plot takes a shocking twist, revealing the terrifying reality that things are not what they seem—that, beneath a façade of prosperity and contentment, darkness lurks.

Cortex and V need a new nemesis.

Cortex’s last villain dumped him, and V got a little overeager and
took out her hero prematurely. They meet on Meta-Match, a nemesis pairing
site for heroes and villains. After throwing punches at each other behind
coffee shops and hiring henchman to do their bidding (mostly just getting
them coffee), they realize they have a lot more in common than meets the
eye.

And they may have a lot more hero and villain inside than they realize.

 Dear Hero tablet

EXCERPT

Cortex: Wow. Ummm are you okay? I think you’ve been replaced by something called compassion. It’s scarier than all the other stuff you’ve said.

V: Ha. Nah. Just making you get too comfortable, you know? Let your guard down. That’s all. Loser.

Cortex: OK, whew that makes me feel a little better. Also, how many secret layers does your house have? I must’ve counted at least nine hidden passages.

V: Oh, dude, I don’t even know. We should totally explore sometime. Or, at least, we would if I would ever let you come over again. Which I won’t.

Cortex: Great! So tomorrow it is. We needed a rain check on the choreography anyway. I still have my hands and legs, so I’ll bring the katanas.

V: Okay, fine. Meet me at the bowling alley for a blindfold. You know you can’t actually know where I live. Maybe I can show you the shark tank.

Cortex: So I can pitch some of my inventions? Great. It’s a date. 9:18 P.M.

Cortex: I mean, get together. Thingy. You know what I mean.

V: I love that show! Mr. Wonderful is brutal. But, yeah, obviously not a date. Blech. 

Cortex: Tomorrow then. Make sure the blindfold is purple.

V: I’ll make it orange. Just for you.

This is Washington DC and there’s only one she here.

A smart, standalone, contemporary romance from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Tara Sue Me.

 

For Independent Anna Fitzpatrick, being President of the United States means she’s finally in a place to make a difference. Known for her intellect and charm, she never appears anything other than calm. After getting dumped by the man she’d been living with once he learned of her presidential bid, Anna vows to remain single throughout her term. It’s an easy task, after all, no man has ever made her feel the way her law school classmate did years ago. Or at least the way he made her feel until he walked away without so much as a goodbye.

Navin Hazar is content being one of the nation’s top news anchors. It may not be the plan he had for his life, but plans don’t always go as anticipated. Like his plan for no one to find out he knows Anna personally or did know her, once upon a time.

For fifteen years, they’ve been able to ignore each other, but her election to the highest office changes everything. And when Navin inadvertently lands on Anna’s Press Pool, they realize the only thing more aggravating than politics is love.

 Excerpt

I hear her approach more in the silence descending upon those she passes than I do from any noise her group makes. Though there are only four agents with her today, two in front and two behind, their appearance holds everyone spellbound. Conversations stop mid-sentence. No one moves.

As they continue toward us, Gabe and I step into the hallway without a word, allowing her security team to search my office before she enters. I take a deep breath and prepare myself to come face-to-face with a memory from my past, one I’ve avoided as much as possible. I see now it was inevitable and childish for me to behave this way. 

She’s walking toward me, talking to someone at her side, and then she looks at me and I have to remind myself to breathe. I’ve seen numerous pictures and videos of her, but they in no way compare to flesh and blood Anna. She was memorable in her early twenties. She is stunning standing before me now, a woman in her thirties.

 

About the Author

 

NEW YORK TIMES/USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Even though she graduated with a degree in science, Tara knew she’d never be happy doing anything other than writing. Specifically, writing love stories.

She started with a racy BDSM story and found she was not quite prepared for the unforeseen impact it would have. Nonetheless, she continued and The Submissive Series novels would go on to be both New York Times and USA Today Bestsellers. One of those, THE MASTER, was a 2017 RITA finalist for Best Erotic Romance. Over one million copies of her books have been sold worldwide.
