Right is not always right; wrong is not always wrong.

Faced with the truth about the woman he loves, Shane Davis has a choice to make—again. Accept Remy Scott or leave her for good.

The internal struggle to see beyond misconceptions and pre-conceived notions about life is not an easy one. The vow he once made to love and protect Remy is now challenged at every turn as circumstances change and new threats emerge.

After having lived a tumultuous life with her mother, Remy Scott views the world through a different lens. Her eyes are wide open, always looking to see what lies ahead in her bright future yet not forgetting what lurks behind in her dark past.

When unforeseen events become wildly out of control, Remy must make some tough choices to save the ones she loves—again. Will she choose her old life or will she leave it all behind? Will the man she loves be there by her side or will he walk away?

As Shane and Remy have already learned, one thing remains true —every choice has a consequence.

“What if I don’t want you here?” she counters with a de She releases a loud sigh filled with exasperation. “Just leave me alone, Shane. Please just leave me alone.”

If she thinks turning over and facing away is going to deter me, she obviously doesn’t know me well.

As quiet determination builds, I walk around the bed and lower myself until I’m at her eye level. Even though our eyes meet, I know she’s not really looking at me. I raise a slow hand to brush away the stray hair beneath the gauze. My eyes close as my lips hover, tentatively, before finally placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

“I’ll be back later.”

The contact with her smooth skin sends a flutter through my heart. It’s as if the world has been set right because in this moment I realize several things. I’ve missed her so much. We belong together. I’m so incredibly in love with her. With my lips pressed against her skin, I open my eyes and notice the tell-tale signs. She inhales sharply as her face softens and flushes lightly. Hope swells in my heart when her body reacts. I know she still feels it until a sad and silent tear slips through her closed lids.

L.M. Carr, author of The Giving Trilogy and The Stones Duet, is a wife, a mom, an educator, a reader and a writer who lives in central Connecticut with her family and two dogs. When she's not sitting at her computer writing, she loves to read or spend time with family and friends.

The idea for the trilogy formed in the summer of 2013 and wouldn't leave her alone until she picked up a pen and jotted the thoughts down. Before long, words flowed as the story began to unravel about Mia Delaney, a small town school teacher, and the mysterious and sexy newcomer, Adam Lawson. Their story is an emotional roller coaster ride full of unexpected twists and turns.

Since then, she has written and released Casting Stones, book 1 of the Stones Duet, which follows the story of Shane Davis' journey to find love. Many readers disliked him in the trilogy because he made a mistake- a huge one. This is his story of redemption and forgiveness. Conquering Stones, book 2, the epic conclusion will release on August 17, 2016.

Looking to expand beyond Contemporary Romance, L.M. is considering co-writing a Young Adult novel and has several New Adult titles brewing on the back burner.

L.M. Carr is a lover of "Happily Ever Afters" because the world is filled with enough sadness. Reading is an escape in which anything is possible. But like in reality, stories sometimes take you on a journey through Hell before you can reach Heaven.

Follow along as we begin this journey together.

PRINCESS by Sapphire Knight **BLOG TOUR**

Title: Princess

Series: Oath Keepers MC/Nomad #1

Author: Sapphire Knight

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: June 27

*STANDALONE MC NOVEL*

Biker bitch? Not this chick.

I can’t stand my father and his group of criminals and what better way to get back at my father, the President, then to sleep with one of them?

Poor little Prospect, he never saw me coming.

When my safety is jeopardized yet again by the MC, it’s not the Prospect to my rescue though, it’s a hell bound Nomad out for blood and my heart.

Wearing a cruel smile as he grabs my shirt, he slices up the thin tank top material. Once he has most of it cut away, he pulls the scraps off, tossing it to the floor.

I’m left in my bra, panting, my anxiety making me feel as if I’m about to have a heart attack. “You seriously need to stop; you don’t know what you’re doing!”

“That’s where you’re wrong. I’ll do whatever the fuck I want, whenever the fuck I want to. You see this patch here.” He points to the one percenter sign, and I nod, well aware of what it is. “Means, I make my own rules, and some snatch isn’t gonna tell me what the fuck to do.” He grabs my bra between my breasts; I try to wrench away, but they’re too strong. I don’t get back far enough, and when he slides the blade underneath to cut the bra, he draws my blood.

The sting to my sensitive skin is enough to have me spewing threats. “Do you have any clue who the hell my father is, you fuckwad?” I scream furiously. “He’ll kill you! You’re all fucking dead!”

Prologue

Max

Well, well, well. What do we have here?

I spotted a woman standing in front of her car a few spots from mine in the parking lot. Her head in her hands, she stared at the front of her vehicle. I just finished my meeting and really wanted to go back home, but I couldn’t leave a woman stranded in the heat. 

Not with a clear conscience. 

And not with an ass like that.

“Somethin’ wrong?” I asked, shutting my truck door behind me and walking slowly towards the brunette. 

She turned her head and a smile slowly spread across her pretty face. She stood, wiping her hands down the sides of her green workout shorts. Her body was lean and tight and I wanted to run my hands all over it.

She was little as hell, probably a good foot shorter than my 6’2” frame. Her tight white tank top showcased her breasts in the best way possible. Her hair was piled on top of her head, strands sticking to the back of her neck. 

Her smile grew wider as I made my way across the parking lot. Sweat dotted her smooth, tanned skin and she wiped her brow with the back of one hand.

The beauty raised her eyebrows, her green eyes lighting up.  “My car won’t start.” She ran her gaze down my body, making little effort to conceal the fact that she liked what she saw. 

That makes two of us.

I flashed her a smile and cleared my throat. I needed to focus, but that was easier said than done. The last thing I wanted to do was come across like Cane, my friend with no couth.

“What seems to be the problem?” I unlatched the hood and raised it open.

“I turned the key and got nothing but a buzzing sound,” she huffed, crossing her arms in front of her. 

I looked up, the movement catching my attention, and my gaze landed right on her chest. 

“What are you looking at?” she asked cheekily.

“Nothin’ you shouldn’t be proud of.”

“Giselle…”

 

I turn to see him staring at me. Staring into me.

 

My cheeks flush, and I’m not sure if it’s from the wine or his proximity to me. His presence does something to me that I haven’t felt in a very long time. My pulse quickens, and I remember how I felt the night he came to my house, when I thought he was going to kiss me. How much I wanted him to. Now I want it more than ever.

 

I lick my lips and taste remnants of wine and strawberry Chapstick. “Dax?”

 

His gaze falls to my lips, and I lick them again, nervously.

 

“Fuck,” he mutters and exhales harshly.

 

“What?” I ask. My God, what is he waiting for?

 

“You–you’re beautiful. And I don’t know why, but I can’t get you out of my head. I haven’t been able to since that day. And I want to say so much, do so much. And I’m restraining myself. But you’re here. Why the fuck are you here?” His rambling is confusing me. He just said so much but nothing at all.

 

“Why are you mad at me?” The vibe that’s coming off of him is–intense. He’s frustrated and seems angry. “I swear to God I didn’t follow you here.” Tears threaten to spill out of my eyes. Get a grip, Giselle.

 

“What?” He looks at me and his eyes soften. “No. No, I’m not mad at you at all. And I believe you, I don’t think you followed me. You couldn’t have possibly known I was coming here. I’m not even checked into the hotel under my real name,” he mutters.

 

“Oh.” I’m still confused. His demeanor is constantly contradicting his mood swings. I can’t tell if he wants to kiss me or strangle me. “Then why are you acting this way?”

 

“I’m not good at this,” he answers.

 

“Good at what? Talking to someone?” I press.

 

“Restraining myself,” he says, and I tense up, my pulse racing.

 

“Jesus, Dax. Then don’t.”

Every single part of me is his and every single part of him is mine.

But we’re broken...

Emilia Davenport and Oliver Paxton have always had a unique kind of love. It blossomed during childhood and has only grown stronger through the years. They thought they were indestructible, so they promised each other forever.

When someone they trust rips their world apart unexpectedly, both Emmy and Ollie desperately attempt to salvage what’s left of their once unwavering love. What remains is nothing like it used to be – it’s dark and hateful and broken beyond repair.

Maybe love isn’t enough.

Maybe it never was.

“I’m done,” she said with disgust, moving toward the door. 

“Where are you going?” I called out after her.

“I’m leaving you.” 

I followed her, attempting to grab her arm to hold her back. “Emmy, she’s a nobody. She was grinding against me. I didn’t even give her the time of day. She kissed my neck a few times…that’s all.” 

“And you let her!” Emmy growled, turning abruptly and punching me in the mouth so hard that it drew blood.

I stared at her in shock, bringing my fingers to my fast swelling lip. I slowly wiped away the blood seeping out of the cut. Did she honestly just hit me because I let a girl grind on me? How the fuck did she figure she’d have the right to go there after everything she’d done to me? 

Fucking bitch.

I shoved her hard, slamming her body onto the bed behind her. She let out a gasp as the air escaped her lungs from the impact. I quickly climbed on top of her and pinned her down.

She writhed beneath me.

“You’re mine,” she hissed as she struggled to break free.

“And you’re mine,” I said just as possessively. 

“Forever,” she added. 

“Yes,” I assured her.

I stared into her eyes as she stared back at me. I couldn’t be sure if I wanted to hit her or to fuck her. I didn’t know which urge was more prominent. But the moment sex occurred to me I began to feel my cock stirring in my pants and I knew that fucking was the dominating urge. 

I ripped open her pajama top, scattering the buttons all around us at the same moment that she slammed her mouth onto mine. I yanked off her panties and without hesitation, crashed into her, claiming what was mine and making her feel every ounce of my contempt toward her. 

She groaned, throwing her head back as she allowed her body to submit to me. We fucked hard, panting and groaning through our need. 

I lifted her up off the bed and positioned her in a way that she was straddling me while I continued to thrust angrily into her. She held me as close as she possibly could, her legs wrapped around my waist tightly, as I continued to fuck her without conviction. I pounded every ounce of anger I was feeling toward her. I was beyond pissed, and with every angry thrust, she was made aware of just how much. She grasped my hair and pulled it hard as she reached her climax. I began to fuck her faster and even harder than before, bringing myself to my final moment as well. 

And then, after it was all over, we collapsed onto the bed together gasping for air and struggling for words. That was dark, and far beyond anything we’ve ever done to each other before.

I reached for her face to stroke it softly but she instantly turned away. “Off,” she whispered quietly. 

“Emmy,” I began to protest but she cut me off quickly. 

“I said we’re off!” she growled.
