With his tight leather pants and a sharp edge that makes him dangerous, Jet Keller is every girl’s rock and roll fantasy. But Ayden Cross is done walking on the wild side with bad boys. She doesn’t want to give in to the heat she sees in Jet’s dark, haunted eyes. She’s afraid of getting burned from the sparks of their spontaneous combustion, even as his touch sets her on fire.

Jet can’t resist the Southern Belle with mile-long legs in cowboy boots who defies his every expectation. Yet the closer he feels to Ayden, the less he seems to know her. While he’s tempted to get under her skin and undo her in every way, he knows firsthand what happens to two people with very different ideas about relationships.

Will the blaze burn into an enduring love. . . or will it consume their dreams and turn them to ashes?

Last year on the 1^st of April my entire life changed.  Everything I thought I knew about trust, commitment, faithfulness, compassion and happy ever after blew up in a fire ball of bad things.  Now, I’m not complaining because in the long run all that bad stuff happening on April Fool’s Day seems like the universe was trying to play the ultimate prank on me.  I shook it off, struggled here and there for a bit and eventually decided I was going to do something I always said I was going to do…write a book. 

That being said I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t know about Barnes and Nobles’ publishing platform, I had never even heard of SmashWords or Ibook, I didn’t know that Kindle Prime meant Amazon owned me and Rule for a certain amount of time.  I was literally flying blind and just trying to figure out what I was doing as I went along.  Talk about a crash course.  Self-publishing is both ridiculously easy and terribly difficult….you know I never even had a Facebook before a very helpful and kind reader/blogger said “Hey people might want to talk at you.”  It’s been interesting and at times exhilarating and frustrating because I’m used to having control of my entire life and with Rule, well true to form he just kind of took off and did whatever he wanted!!!

This is a long rambling post to try and explain why some of my release dates and time frame for things are not on point.  I still have some time on my contract with Amazon, the proofreader and editor have their own schedules they work off of and I have no freaking idea how to do re-writes or how long that will take me, plus I have very hard working agent that wants to sell the series and get these Marked Men in real book form not just digital. 

Just keep in mind there is no man behind the curtain, just little ole me trying to figure it out one day at a time.

This April Fool’s day was a million times better and I just want to say thank you to anyone that has read, blogged, tweeted, emailed, suggested to a friend this book.  You’re all amazing and I’ll take you over my ex-asshat any day.

Thought I would put all these little nuggests in one place becasue I'm just nice like that :)

#1
It was stilted and awkward, as all conversation between us was anymore. We used to be able to talk to each other, just look at each other and know what the other was thinking, but now we were just two people hurting for different reasons, trying to pretend like it didn't rip us apart to breathe the same air.
I wasn't expecting him to move but suddenly he was up in... my face with a rattle of the chains that hung off his wallet to his belt, and a clinking of rings on his fingers, as he grabbed the metal rail on either side of me. Those blazing eyes were millimeters from my own, and I could see the way his anger pulled down the corners of a mouth that had loved me in so many different ways. I knew Jet had a lot of rage inside of him, knew that he struggled to keep a lid on the volcano of emotion that roiled inside of him, but I never expected to see it unleashed because of me. It burned and popped across all my exposed skin and all I could do was stand there and take it, while he glared at me and growled,
“Does it even matter?”

I dropped everything in a messy, blood stained pile on the floor and turned the water on as hot at it would go. When the steam filled the room, I climbed in and let the scalding burn slide over my head and down over my shoulders. I wanted to wash the entire day away, but that was far-fetched because I still had a dad in the hospital and a looming court date, and no matter how hot the water was neither of those things were going to simply wash away.
I flexed my hands under the water and watched dispassionately as the dried blood swirled with the water down the drain. The slice on my face started to sting and I was going to scrub it, when the glass door to the shower opened and I felt soft hands slide around my waist and rest on my stomach. A feather-light kiss landed on the back of my neck and I felt her lay her cheek on the center of my spine.

#3
The corner of his mouth kicked up in a grin that made my skin tingle. “As long as I can continue to write songs that are good enough to bring beautiful, dark haired girls knocking at my door I can be happy. I’ll sing you anything you want Ayd if it means you keep looking at me the way you’re looking at me right now and the long run can take care of itself.”

I knew if I let him he would own me. If he sang to me with that beautiful voice, played the guitar for just me with those hands covered in heavy rings and tipped in black finger nail polish that he would just simply own me that was all there was to it. He was already close and I was doing my best to keep him at a distance because I knew none of those things, his beautiful voice or his wild hair and ink covered skin belonged in my long term, but letting that take care of itself was sounding better and better by the second. I slid my hand a little farther up his thigh and watched as little sparks shot off of the golden outer rim. He was my temptation, had been for a long time now and good Ayden, or bad Ayden, we both wanted him, only him.

#4
He rocked back on the heels of his boots and spikes in his ears made him look extra devilish. A half grin twisted up his mouth and it was easy to see why girls all across town were so in lust with him. “To be honest I want to have sex with you, lots and lots of sex.”
I felt my eyes pop open wide and my mouth fall... open. I guess there was something to be said for honestly but I hadn’t been expecting that.
“I also want to know what you’re thinking about when your eyes go from gold to bronze and why your accent gets thicker when you get upset. I want to teach about music and show you that you’re missing out just listening to that crap on the radio. I want you to come to shows and let me finish what I started in the bathroom. I want you to smile at me, just me so that I know you’re thinking something really naughty and really dirty and oh so good and maybe if we can get that far I want to take you to meet my mom so maybe she can see what a woman that can take care of herself looks like. Maybe she can see that even though that piece of shit raised me I learned how to be an okay human being all on my own because you’re willing to give me a shot. I don’t know Ayden, I want anything you’re willing to give me because right now I’m falling apart and I think you are the only that can put me back together.”

Update for Rule is now on Amazon!

For anyone that got the very first installation of Rule, the one out the first 3 weeks it was released, the update of the cleaner version is now available in your Kindle Library...no this version is not 100% flawless (I am aware) but it is a sure sight prettier than the very first one that I put out!!!  Thanks for sticking with me through this process, I promise I learn fast and don't usually make the same mistake twice!!  Learning to love commas I am :)
