     “It’s time for your spanking,” he said.

     She nodded, every last vestige of fight completely gone. Taking a seat in the straight backed chair, he pulled her to stand between his legs. “Okay, Melissa, tell me why you’re getting this spanking.”

     She didn’t hesitate in answering. “Because I put myself in danger.”

     He nodded in agreement. “Let’s get started.” Guiding her over his lap, Jason pressed his hand to the small of Melissa’s back and locked his leg over both of hers, preemptively, to keep her from kicking.

Melissa's Saving Grace

Release Date: July 8, 2015

Melissa Toselli is a wild child with a troubled past. Having been on her own since she was fifteen she is desperate to find the one who will take her into his arms, heart, and control. She has a tendency to pick all the wrong men for all the wrong reasons.

Unbeknownst to Melissa she has caught Corbin’s Bend newbie, Jason Donovan’s, attention. The wild spitfire stirred something inside of him that he could not let go. He could see right through Melissa’s devil may care attitude to the vulnerable child within who just needed someone to care for and watch out for her. She was crying out for some guidance; both the kind that would tuck her in at night and the kind that would take her over a knee for some much needed discipline and structure.

Can Jason give Melissa what she needs and tame the wild child that she is? Can he show her the way a true gentleman treats the woman he has feelings for? Will Melissa turn out to be too much for Jason to handle? Will she fall back into her old ways? Or will Jason and Melissa find exactly what their looking for in each other?

Melissa's Saving Grace on Sale! #Giveaway

The day is finally here! Melissa’s Saving Grace is now up for sale. To celebrate I wanted to do something special for my readers, so I am having a $10 Blushing Books Gift Certificate Giveaway. There are lots of ways to enter to win, so there’s something that everyone can do. The way that you can earn the most entries is to purchase Melissa’s Saving Grace (worth 5 entries) & leave a review (worth 5 entries.) The contest will run for two weeks, so there’s plenty of time to enter. Okay, so now more about Melissa.

 You might remember Melissa from her cameo appearance in A Brush of Violet where she went before the Disciplinary Board of Corbin’s Bend. You’ll see in Melissa’s Saving Grace that while Melissa has tried to put herself on the straight & narrow she hasn’t quite succeeded. Enter Papa Bear type Jason Donovan who is more than happy to assist Melissa in learning the error of her ways, as well as pull her into his warm embrace and give her the love and nurturing she so desperately needs.  There is just a touch of light ageplay along with plenty of sizzling erotic romance to keep us all reading voraciously. Here’s a light scene that I hope you will enjoy.

     Walking toward the beautiful expanse of grasses and wild flowers, a blue feathered bird chasing insects caught her eye. It was darting amid the wild flowers, hot after a little flying insect. As her heart bloomed, Melissa had a feeling she would prove to be just as much of a bird person as Jason.

     Friskiness took flight inside of Melissa and the urge to run overtook her. She took off through the meadow with wild abandon extending her arms out on either side of her as she went.

     She dropped her backpack so that she could run faster. Glancing back, she saw Jason do the same, as he took off chasing her, she squealed with delight, giggling profusely when Jason scooped her up and they tumbled to the ground. At that point, they were both laughing hard and fighting to catch their breath. He gathered her to him laying her head on his chest. As their breathing slowed down to normal levels, Melissa could hear Jason’s heart beating hard from the exertion.

     Heat gathered between them as she propped herself up to look him in the eyes. His blue eyes were clear as the morning sky. Melissa could see the building feelings she had for Jason reflected back to her in his own eyes. He had the fullest most kissable lips she had ever seen and she found herself leaning down to kiss and nip at them lightly. She felt his arms tighten on her back and then, in the space of a breath, she was on her back underneath him. Tongues met as their kiss deepened. God, he tasted good.

     Eventually they eased back from each other, and they just lay there in the middle of the meadow watching the sky. Puff ball clouds moved and shifted above them as a symphony of mountain cicadas chirped and buzzed in a special performance for them. Noticing that one of the clouds looked like a teddy bear, Melissa pointed it out. After that, each and every cloud resembled something familiar to them. Melissa was just pointing out a cloud that was ironically shaped as a paddle when they noticed some darker clouds moving in.

     “Hmm,” Jason said, “that’s strange. The forecast said nothing about rain today.”

     “Maybe it will blow over,” she suggested just before lightning cracked through the air.

     They grabbed their packs and took off, just as the skies opened up on them.

Melissa Toselli is a wild child with a troubled past. Having been on her own since she was fifteen she is desperate to find the one who will take her into his arms, heart, and control. She has a tendency to pick all the wrong men for all the wrong reasons. 

Unbeknownst to Melissa she has caught Corbin’s Bend newbie, Jason Donovan’s, attention. The wild spitfire stirred something inside of him that he could not let go.

She was crying out for some guidance; both the kind that would tuck her in at night and the kind that would take her over a knee for some much needed discipline and structure. 

Can Jason give Melissa what she needs and tame the wild child that she is? Can he show her the way a true gentleman treats the woman he has feelings for? Will Melissa turn out to be too much for Jason to handle? Will she fall back into her old ways? Or will Jason and Melissa find exactly what they’re looking for in each other?

A Brush of Violet Finalist for Golden Flogger Award!!

This is making out to be an extremely amazing week. Not only does Melissa’s Saving Grace release on Thursday, but I found out the most incredible news. My debut novella, ABrush of Violet from season two of Corbin’s Bend is a finalist in the novella category for the BDSM Writer’s Con Golden Flogger Award!!

I felt like I was walking on air all day yesterday after I found out. It was really neat to see my name among authors that I have been reading for years and hold prestigious places in the genre. It is an honor to have been nominated and now being a finalist for this award. It means the world to me.  I want to congratulate my fellow nominees. I’m sure we are all equally excited. Here is more about A Brush of Violet.

High powered business woman, Violet Walker, has long left her artistic days behind. That is until her best friend, Everleigh Harris, invites her to Corbin's Bend for an art festival. What Everleigh doesn't know is that Violet hasn't been able to paint a single brush stroke since turning her back on her submissive desires and spanking needs in college. When she meets charismatic and drop dead gorgeous Charles her world is turned completely upside down. Will Violet, overworked, burnt out, and in denial of her deepest wants and desires, be able to surrender when love knocks on her door? 

 

Charles Robinson, President of the discipline Board in Corbin’s Bend and longtime resident, adores the community he lives in and the freedom it provides for all who live there. Raised in a traditional family; love and discipline are a way of life for him. There’s nothing he wants more than a marriage just like his parents where spanking and romance go hand in hand, even if that means holding out for true love. Is Violet just the kind of woman he’s looking for?

Will Violet risk the life she’s built for herself in blood, sweat, and tears for the undeniable connection she has with Charles, the utter bliss and contentment she feels when she’s over his lap? Can Charles convince Violet she really can have it all? Will this trip be just what she needs to rekindle all that she has lost since joining the corporate world?

     Taking a seat in the straight backed chair, he pulled her to stand between his legs. “Okay, Melissa, tell me why you’re getting this spanking.”

     She didn’t hesitate in answering, “Because I put myself in danger.”

     He nodded in agreement, “Let’s get started.” Guiding her over his lap, Jason pressed his hand to the small of Melissa’s back and locked his leg over both of hers, preemptively, to keep her from kicking. He rubbed the small of her back before moving it to her bottom. “I agree, Melissa, you put yourself in danger tonight.” He rained down spanks across her upturned bottom, scorching her

all over.
