     “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.

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?

     Crooking a finger under her chin, he lifted it so that he could look into her shining eyes.
“Oh, I’m going to blister your bottom all right,” he said, lowering his voice, allowing the energy
to sizzle between them for a few heartbeats. He ran his hands down her arms noticing the little
shiver she gave at the contact. “But not yet.” He could see how desperately she needed to gather
her thoughts. There would be no spanking until he determined that she was sober and in a better
frame of mind. Turning her toward the bathroom, he gave her bottom a soft smack. “Take a
shower.

A-Z Challenge: Melissa's Saving Grace #CorbinsBend

Today for the A-Z challenge I'm sharing a little about my upcoming release, Melissa's Saving Grace. I hope you enjoy the excerpt below. Also, stay tuned on Saturdays, as I participate in the Saturday Spankings Blog Hop, for a little teaser as release day approaches.


     He knew he couldn’t put the spanking off all night. She needed it, but not yet. While she
was getting the brush, he carried a kitchen chair into the center of the living room. She hovered
in the doorway between the rooms like her feet were stuck to the floor. He crooked his finger to
draw her through the door. He watched her eyes and noticed the moment of decision flit across
them. It took another full four seconds before she was able to force her feet to move. She
fidgeted beside him, a look of surprise cascading over her features as he guided her to sit on the
floor in front of him instead of over his lap as she obviously expected.
     Gently unwrapping her hair, curls tumbled down her back. Gathering the damp locks
reverently in his hands, he pulled them behind her shoulders. He brushed her dark brown hair
slowly starting from the bottom working the tangles out one by one. He worked in small sections
luxuriating in the feel of her under his hands. Taking his time, he felt Melissa relax, little by
little, under his touch. Her eyes closed under his ministrations. After every single tangle had been
worked loose and her hair was gleaming, Jason moved his hands down to her shoulders kneading
the tight muscles, working out each knot until the tension had disappeared. A small sigh and then
what sounded almost like a purr escaped from her lips. Not wanting the moment to end, he
continued light stroking across her warm skin for several more minutes.
     Finally he took a deep breath knowing that there was no more putting it off. Giving her
one final squeeze, he helped her to a standing position. “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.”

     “Oh, I’m taking it seriously, Jason,” she answered back, the fire gone from her voice. “I
just think you’re exactly like everyone else in this community. You talk a big game, rushing in to
rescue me, but you’re afraid to put your money where your mouth is and give me what I really
need.”
     Was she really daring him to spank her? Did she honestly think he wouldn’t follow
through? His mind scrambled to keep up with the turn of events along with any potential
ramifications, but there was no doubt in his mind that before this night was over she would be
getting exactly what she asked for.
     “Are you going to spank me or what?” she asked, a fierce bravado flashing in her eyes.

Saturday #Spankings: Melissa's Saving Grace 6/6

Yay! It's my first Saturday Spankings for my upcoming Corbin's Bend novel, Melissa's Saving Grace, which will be coming out on July 8th. Melissa debuted in A Brush of Violet as the abashed wild child being taken to task by the Discipline Board after breaking some major rules. Soon we will find out what has become of Melissa since that fateful verdict. Each Saturday for the next month I will share a little preview of what is in store for you.

“What were you thinking, Melissa?” He started as gently as he could, but could feel all of his earlier emotions begin to boil again. Melissa obviously felt them too because she immediately went on the defensive. Her eyes flashed, “You think there’s something wrong with going out dancing?”
He leveled his eyes on hers. “Is that really the stance you want to take right now?”
“Why not?” she spat. “I went out to have some fun, while I admit it got a little out of
control, it’s over now. As you can see, I’m fine.”
