Cover Re-Reveal: The Effect Series by Kristin Mayer

RE sale Today we’re relaunching the Effect Series by Kristin Mayer! I am so excited about the gorgeous new covers for this fantastic series. Kristin is sharing an excerpt from both books, and a awesome giveaway! Check it out!! RESleeve300dpi About Ripple Effect: 
Every event in our life causes a ripple effect that we never truly understand until the waters calm and everything reveals itself. It’s in that moment we truly see…

Adam Ryker, owner of Club Envy, has his rules. Relationships stay within the walls of the club. Outside of that, people are merely acquaintances. After having his heart broken, he’s not interested in the happily ever afters and white picket fences. Adam’s interests lie in his club and giving pleasure to women.

Ainsley Pearson wants to be free. She needs an escape from her life. Her best friend suggests Club Envy. From the moment Ainsley sets foot in the club, Adam decides he wants to be the exclusive one to bring her pleasure.

He wants her.

He needs her.

He has to have her.

Adam finds himself wanting more.

Will this unforeseen ripple in Adam’s and Ainsley’s lives be too much to overcome? Or will the one thing they never thought they deserved have an everlasting effect?

Ripple Effect is book one of The Effect Series.

“You’re amazing, Ainsley. That was indescribable.” 
He kissed my neck, and I turned to kiss him. My heart blossomed at feeling this different side of Adam brought out. He gave a piece of himself to me for safekeeping, and I knew it was a piece he hadn’t given in a long time. I wanted to ask more about his past, but I didn’t want to ruin the moment. This was our moment. 
Lowly, I whispered, “Thank you for fighting for me.”
“Ainsley, you are worth fighting for.” 
His hand stroked my shoulder, and I smiled into his chest. 
Some things are worth fighting for. Adam is one of them. DESleeve300dpi About Domino Effect:
One small movement can impact the rest of your life, like a set of dominoes lined up one after another. It's not until you step back and see the big picture that you realize the damage you've done... 
Brandt Mattox had it all-love, success, and friends. One impulsive wrong decision led him down a path that ended in a prison of regrets. He now only dreams of the happiness he once had before the consequences of his actions cost him everything. 
He lost his love-not just any love, but his soul mate. 
Nikola Kingston has worked hard to keep the past in the past while she focuses on her career and spending time with her grandmother. On a random night, she runs into the one man who will forever hold her heart captive. Her heart knows she still loves Brandt, but her mind cannot forget the dreadful night that cost her the love of her life. 
Will the domino effect of Brandt's and Nikola's decisions be too much to overcome? Or will the love they never thought they would get back have an everlasting effect?

Brandt squeezed my hand.
“That works for me. So, as of February second, it’s fair game to seduce you?”
“Yes, but I’m going to make you work for it.”
The look of joy on Brandt’s face warmed the places in my soul that I’d locked off, afraid of acute heartache.
“I’d expect nothing less from you. Just leave the damn 8 Ball out of it.”
I giggled. I loved my Magic 8 Ball. From time to time, I’d bring it out and consult it. Whatever it said, I followed. The wise blue triangle knew all. Most of the time, the black ball of wisdom seemed to work against Brandt, which made me laugh. “We’ll see. Depends on whether you misbehave.”
The connection sizzled between us. We were going to fight for us. For love.
“Brandt?”
“Yes.”
“Please take care of my heart. I’m entrusting it to you. It’s broken and hasn’t been the same since I lost you.” My voice broke.
He put his forehead to mine. “I’ll guard it with my life and do everything in my power to mend it.”

EXCERPT

She. Was. Beautiful.

Still is, he thought.

He scooted closer to the wall, repositioned himself for comfort, and then once again brought his face to the small hole he had made in the closet. Placing his eye over the peephole he watched, and remembered.

Catarina Stone was standing before her mirror brushing out the tangles in her thick black hair as she blow dried it to make it smooth. His palms itched to touch her hair. He felt himself getting hard.

She wore a simple white nightgown that reached her knees. Her feet were bare. What he could see of her legs showed him she was still fit. Perfect. He adjusted his erection choking back the groan that threatened to escape from his lips.

He had to sit back for a moment, collect himself.

He counted to twenty, and then leaned forward again to watch.

She had unplugged her blow dryer, then disappeared into the bathroom, and he cursed his impatience. He watched until his eyes began to water, trying not to blink so he wouldn't miss her coming back into the room. He'd be able to catch a glimpse of her face then.

It seemed like forever. But ten minutes later she emerged from her ensuite, and grabbed the remote off her high boy dresser.

He nearly choked back a sob at her beauty. The whore. That's what she had been, still was. Yet he loved her. She had been kind to him once. That was when it began, twelve years ago. Catarina was thirty-one now. But he still remembered her at nineteen. He'd been just a few years older. Only twenty-two. She'd disappeared. Vanished. Then everything had come crashing down around him. His father still rotted in jail, but he'd managed to escape. But for two years he'd yearned for her. Her smile. Those eyes that glowed grey with flecks of gold. She hadn't smiled much then. But for him she had. They had been friends, he'd thought.

He'd brought her extra food, books to write in. She was always writing in her little books. He'd asked her about them once. She said they were her diaries. But they were all in Dutch. Her language. She was born in Amsterdam. She'd told him that.

He got bits and pieces out of her when he brought her treats. But he never dared to stay too long in her presence then. He didn't want his father to find out, plus she was a working girl. One of his father’s many slaves.

Catarina stood, legs slightly apart by her bed. She was close enough to touch. He wanted to touch her. He'd never dared. He sniffed at the wall trying to inhale her scent as he imagined stroking her thighs, cupping her.

His cock hardened even more, and it became so painful. Yet he resisted.

Not yet.

Catarina settled on Bay News 9, a local twenty-four hour news program. She always did that. She'd surf the local stations, but always chose the news. She set the timer on the remote so the television would shut itself off in forty-five minutes, and placed it on her night stand. She quickly crawled into bed. She always slept in the middle. On her back, then in the night she would roll to her side away from him.

It never took her long either. She was usually out in fifteen minutes, and then came the turn. Away from him. Just like before.

He watched. He waited. And just like clockwork, she fell asleep.

After she turned, only then did he grasp his cock in his hand after fishing it out of his pants, and jerk off. He came silently, but wanted to scream her name. Catarina. He silently lifted his closed fist, and pretended to smash the wall that separated them. He cleaned himself up, and got ready to go to work. He covered the hole with white putty that he'd be able to remove tomorrow. But now he had hallways to vacuum, mirrors to clean, and banisters to polish. The Trump Towers in Tampa did not clean itself. And he needed to hurry. This wasn't even his floor.

Salvatore shut the closet door, and padded out of the empty apartment. The owners were snowbirds, and they were gone for eight long, beautiful months of the year. That gave him time—plenty of time. He hummed softly as he hit the stairwell taking him back down to the seventh and eighth floors.

He immediately got to work upon finding his cart.

Ah, Catarina. He'd missed her. And she brought back those urges he thought he'd been able to suppress. A plan began to form. He hadn't done anything bad in nine years. Nine long, lonely years. And she had made him do it when she disappeared.

Twelve years ago, this beauty had escaped him. She wouldn't do that again, he vowed. Never again. If she tried, she would be beautiful no more.

Blurb

The Sequel to the sexy, suspenseful novel The Broken Road.

“Not a day had gone by that I didn’t dream about Shane, that one day he would come home to us. I imagined that our days would be filled with long talks and moments of reconnection, and our nights would be full of hot, sweaty sex. But things weren’t going the way I had imagined. Baby steps, Megan. He just needs to adjust. I couldn’t change the past and we would have to take things in stride. We couldn’t be the same couple we once were, not overnight.”

When Shane Turner shows up at Megan Connors’s carport one rainy night, Megan thinks she’s dreaming. The man who has held her heart since high school, and the father of her unborn child, is supposed to be dead, killed in an explosion at a safe house. But somehow Shane has survived, and Megan believes that with him home safely and their baby on the way, they will finally get their happy ending.

But it soon becomes apparent that all is not what it seems. Shane is home, but he’s brought some demons back with him, demons that Megan can’t fight alone. Shane is a haunted man, plagued by paranoia and distrust. He believes that danger threatens their lives at every turn, and it is tearing their life together apart.

In this compelling sequel to The Broken Road, Shane must deal with the present and the future, with the cartel—and himself. Megan must protect her family and, when the time comes, must make the ultimate decision.

Will Shane and Megan have their happily ever after, or will it just be another broken promise?









Excerpt

“Good morning,” he said, his voice still thick with sleep. He wrapped his muscular arms around my belly from behind me, the evidence of his arousal pressed against the small of my back. My breath caught and my heart quickened as he nuzzled the sensitive spot under my ear. Just this one simple act had my core pulsing with liquid heat. His hands roamed north, barely grazing my belly, and tenderly kneaded my swollen breasts. Moaning, I tilted my head up toward his and caught his searing lips with mine.

Abandoning the pan in front of me, I turned and threw my arms around his neck. Passion fueled my body as our lips frantically mashed together. Our tongues clashed, dueling over the right to invade the other’s mouth. Shane’s hands cupped my behind, then gripped hard as he led me over to the table. He swept aside the napkins and papers that covered it and lifted me onto the smooth surface.

Red colored my vision as my primal need took over. Shane pulled off my bathrobe at the same moment I yanked down his sweatpants. My mouth watered at the size of his erection and I eagerly stroked his throbbing, rigid shaft. His head rolled back and he groaned at my touch. There was a time for cuddling and foreplay, but this wasn’t it. His hazel eyes smoldered, and he desperately ripped the thin material of my cotton underwear right out from under me. Craving his touch, his body, his heat against mine, I leaned back on my elbows and gave him the opening he wanted.

Excerpt
"Um…" She froze. Without realizing it, her hands had returned to removing the Post-Its and her fingers were just an inch above his… A curse flew from her lips. Mason reached down and removed the small blue square that was perched just above his groin. "You kiss your mother with that mouth?"   from ashes Teaser 1   Character Interviews  

Gabby

  • Ability: Water (Primary level of magic, Secondary, yet to be determined)
  • Age: 27
  • Magic color: Golden Brown
  • Bonded with Mason
  • Receptionist at the infirmary, oldest beginner magic student to date
  • Fun Facts: addicted to bad reality television — particularly When Librarians Attack, loves chocolate and hates secrets
  • Favorite Quote: “Never look down on someone unless you’re helping them up.”
  What’s your favorite color of Post-Its? G: *blushes* Blue. It brings back memories of the first time Mason and I met and I accidentally used my magic to cover him in Post-Its.   You lost both of your parents at a young age, but found a surrogate mother in Mason’s mom. Has that filled a void inside you? G: Definitely. I felt empty for a long time. To be accepted by Mason and then his mother and brothers was the most wonderful feeling in the world.   What do you and Mason fight about? G: *grins* The tv remote. Seriously. He doesn’t like to give up control and I’m not willing to watch sports twenty-four hours a day. Although, he usually just kisses me until I get distracted then steals it back.   Being bonded means that you can hear each other’s thoughts. Has Mason ever thought something that’s gotten him in trouble? G: Oh my God, yes! Just last night, I caught the trail of one of his thoughts and you know what it was? That So You Think You Can Dance is stupid. Total sacrilege. But seriously, we all have unkind thoughts and I would never be angry with him for those deep down, inner ones he never expected me to hear.    

Mason

  • Ability: Teleportation (Secondary level of magic)
  • Age: 216
  • Magic color: Hazel—Brown and Gold and Green
  • Bonded with Gabby
  • LexTal
  • Fun Facts: deals with stress by shooting things (okay, targets), has a fondness for tea, hates coffee, loves waterfalls
  • Favorite Quote: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.” –Aristotle
  Gabby almost left the Colony rather than reveal her secret. Would you have gone after her? M: I’ve been an idiot many times over in the course of my life, but I can’t imagine that I would have been stupid enough to let her leave the safety of the Colony — even if we hadn’t ended up bonding. I can’t manage spending a day apart from her, let alone a lifetime.   Which of your brothers is the most insufferable? M: I don’t even have to think about it. Morgan. He’s got a snarky comment for every situation and they’re usually at my expense.   Have you still been teaching Gabby her magic? M: *smiles and good Lord is it gorgeous* I have. It’s my favorite part of each day, teaching her how to use her powers, opening her mind to the magic. She’s so thrilled by the little things — learning to light a fire, to control a sphere of water — that I find myself more excited about using my magic. Her innocence and zeal for life are intoxicating. And though she plans on going back to group classes with Francis in a couple of days, I hope we’ll continue our daily lessons.   Speaking of lessons, have you been back to the waterfalls? M: We haven’t been back, but we’ve learned that you can make waterfalls in a whole lot of different places. *winks*

Love is only a battlefield when you have a fighting chance.
In the aftermath of bad decisions followed by poor thinking, Brayden is still without Kira.
Years of hurt have hardened Kira, and she’s not just going to roll over for Brayden on command. Strong willed and stubborn, neither of them is willing to give in without a fight.
There’s a million reasons why she shouldn’t care for him anymore . . . but she does.
Brayden senses this, and he’s laid siege on her life, haunting her in every possible sense—reminding her of what they once shared.
But he’s still the man that wrecked her.
The man she loves.
The man she utterly despises.
He’s still her step brother.
Right and wrong have no sway with the heart. What it wants, it takes.
With every day that passes, Kira is reminded of all the reasons she has to hate him . . . and all the reasons she still has to adore him.
Can Kira let go and give him a chance, or is it really too little, too late?
Even if she can forgive him, is it possible for them to have a future together while still being step-siblings?

N Isabelle Blanco
N. Isabelle Blanco was born in Queens, NY (USA). At the age of three, due to an odd fascination with studying her mother’s handwriting, she began to read and write. By the time she’d reached kindergarten, she had an extensive vocabulary and her obsession with words began to bleed into every aspect of her life. An avid reader in her teens, her fascination with Japanese anime eventually led her to the universe of fan fiction, which became her on-again, off-again hobby for the next ten years. During that time she amassed a following of fans that, by her own admission, she would never be able to live without. It was those fans who encouraged her to step beyond the fan fiction realm and try her talent in the publishing world. N. Isabelle Blanco spends her days working as an author, web programmer, marketer, and graphic designer. That is when she isn’t handling her “spawn”, as she calls her son, and brainstorming with him about his future career as a comic book illustrator.
