Running From Forever by Ashley Wilcox #Giveaway @ashleywilcox55 @HDCoverTherapy


Runningecover

Synopsis:

Recent college graduate, Kayla Reynolds was ready to leave the university, sorority life behind. Leaving her boyfriend of over three years, she packed her bags and moved four hours south to the big city…New York City. Bright lights, streets that never sleep, and a business lifestyle that she yearned to have were all at her fingertips.

Kayla Reynolds was chasing her dream.

Determined and eager to make it in the corporate world, Kayla changed everything- her image, lifestyle, and outlook on life, putting her career first and her personal life second. That was until her first day, the first time she got a glimpse of Miles Blackwell. Corporate CEO and part owner of ETV, and not to mention, incredibly handsome, Miles Blackwell took Kayla by surprise, stealing her heart as he did.

But nothing had ever come that easy for Kayla. Life had always seemed to have a personal vendetta against her, stepping in when everything seemed too good to be true, reminding herself of whom she really was. It wasn’t until she met Merrick Drake that she realized when to stop; when running was no longer an option. For the first time in her life she had someone she could relate to; someone who wouldn’t judge- who saw the person she was inside. She and Merrick connected…on more levels than one.

When life was too much to handle, they ran.

But there was only one person that could make Kayla stop for good. Only one man that made her want to stay.

Would Kayla finally stop running or would it all be too much to handle?

Excerpt:

She let out an exasperated breath. “No. No, I gotta figure this out.” She turned to face me, legs crossed, intertwined. “I don’t know what to do, Merrick.”

I felt it in my chest. She was lost, pleading for help. I didn’t know if I was the best person to help her. I’d lived just as fucked up a life myself. From the age I could run, I did, staying at friend’s houses almost every day of the week, stopping home quick after school just to make sure my mom hadn’t overdosed and was dead on the floor. I did this almost my whole life…up until I ran here.

“I can’t really help you, babe, if I don’t know what happened,” I told her as sympathetically as I could, looking into her sad eyes. Even if I wasn’t the most qualified person to give advice, I wanted to help, but I also needed to know what happened first.

Kayla rubbed her face with her hands, keeping them over her eyes for a minute longer. She was thinking; questioning if she was ready to spill. I didn’t want to force her to do it, so I sat there quietly. I wish I could just sweep her up and run far, far away; take her away from all the bad in her life permanently, but that would mean I had to run again, and I was done running. I couldn’t do it anymore.

“I loved him.” Her voice was a whisper. She removed her hands from her face but only to look down to her crisscrossed feet. She couldn’t look at me while she told me, and I was okay with that. “I let my guard down when I knew I shouldn’t have, but I couldn’t help it.”

About the Author:

ashley wilcox

Some may consider me a jack of all trades, but I consider myself well rounded.
I’ve waitressed, styled hair, answered phones and, most recently, worked full time as mom to my two beautiful little boys.
Then there was this book… Everyone and their brother started talking about this book series titled Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James. I didn’t really pay attention to the craze at first, since I wasn’t a big reader- okay, I didn’t read at all. But curiosity got the best of me, so I downloaded it to my kindle.
I was immediately hooked. I read the whole series in three days. Yes, three books in three days.
I kept finding all these great books that I HAD to read (just ask my credit card!).
Then I started hearing voices. Voices that turned into stories; stories that were begging to get out of my head.
I started writing them down on scraps of paper. Then I transferred them to my computer. Before I knew it, Planning on Forever was born.
The voices in my head are still talking, so I’m still writing.

Dangerous Trade by Steven Nedelton #spotlight


 DANGEROUS TRADEMIDWEST BOOK REVIEW 5.0 out of 5 stars for Dangerous Trade (Crossroads) spy thriller.
A fascinating and entertaining story, highly recommended, December 11, 2009 By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-Paced, Tight Prose, December 22, 2009
By J. L. Knox “JLK” Professor Creative Writing, (San Antonio, TX USA)

Here’s my take: This is a plot-driven, fast-paced, spy thriller that seems to incorporate a lot of research and keen literary skill. I’m very glad I picked up this book, and thanks to Nedelton, I’m in the market for an occasional thriller. To recommend this book, I have to resort to a reviewer’s cliché: I couldn’t put it down.
Jen Knox, Author of MUSICAL CHAIRS,
Fiction Editor at OUR STORIES Literary Journal
“Reminiscent of John Le Carre with a dash of Ian Flemming, Steven Nedelton’s Dangerous Trade (Crossroads) plunges us into the Cold War mind-power experimentations and its dubious dark characters that once inhabited that volatile underworld. Written with an uncanny knack for plot and time-shifting, this 21st century thriller is in the grand tradition of Hemingway at his best. An unusually multi-layered and absorbing novel, Crossroads should be read by thriller and spy novel enthusiasts all over the globe.”
–Vincent Zandri, author of ‘As Catch Can’ and the forthcoming ‘Moonlight Falls.
A techno-thriller in the tradition of Tom Clancy, Dangerous Trade (Crossroads) combines the best of Cold War era cat-and-mouse espionage with a healthy dose of conspiracy. Author displays a masterful sense of suspense as he winds his way through the intricacies of back room political machinations. With a keen eye for detail, he leads us down the dark road of international intrigue, assassination and real world politics. Dangerous Trade is a first-rate thrill ride that will keep you tearing through the pages to reach the dramatic conclusion.
–Sean Harris, author Dead of Winter

Excerpt #1 Prologue (adult content)

We arrive in Miami, check into our hotel, and immediately decide to check out the Miami night life.

Wearing a barely there silver, backless, halter dress and heels I was ready to dance the night away.  At five foot seven inches with my heels, my legs are going on for miles tonight.  I put my hair in a loose up do, frame my eyes with a smoky shadow, and add a clear lip gloss to finalize my look.

Brayden is dressed in his typical baggy jeans and t-shirt.  He is six foot tall, more of a lanky build with a slight beer belly forming, which is especially noticeable when he stands next to a very toned and muscular Ryder.  His dirty blonde hair and crystal blue eyes, which hold such depth they make me melt every time he looks at me.  We both love to go out.  We met four years ago at a bar in Charlotte while we were both celebrating another finished semester of college.

We arrive at Cameo nightclub in downtown Miami and immediately hit the dance floor.  There is something about the atmosphere of a club that just takes over my senses.  The bodies pressed together, each finding their own rhythm as the vibrations from the bass reverberates through the crowd.

Having Brayden up against my back side running his hands all over my body as we move to the music is enough to bring my nipples to attention rubbing against the thin scrap of fabric, otherwise known as my dress.  His hands roam, as we dance, moving the back of my barely there dress over the hills of my ass, leaving me exposed.  My bare backside now grinding against the erection of his jeans is delightful friction.  He then places one hand upon my breast and begins to tease it, while he plunges two fingers, from the other, into my hot core.  I am so turned on I don’t care who sees me.  When I am almost ready to explode, he stops.

Grabbing me, he leads me to a back hallway, where he quickly pushes me up against the wall, freeing himself and pounding into me.  Raw, needing passion, transfers between us as I have an earth shattering orgasm.  Brayden follows right behind me.  As we straighten ourselves, he smiles and whispers, “I love that you never wear panties, baby.”

 Excerpt #3 Chapter 8

Dina

By the next day, Maggie seems much better. After work I am relaxing in a bubble bath with my Jacuzzi tub jets running when my phone rings. It is Ryder.

“Hey, misterman.” I answer.

“Hello, beautiful!  It’s good to hear your voice after phone tag yesterday. What are you doing this evening?”

Well, we are on the phone and I am feeling brave so I answer in almost a whisper, “I am in the bath tub, covered in nothing but bubbles, relaxing, thinking of how I wish it were you covering me instead.”

 He is quiet for a moment. I think I hear a low growl from him.

With his voice deeper than I have ever heard before, “Damn, Dina you are killing me over here. Oh how I wish I was there. I would be happy to wash your back for you.”

 I smile and add, “Just my back, huh, what about my front?”

I hear him groan, “Oh baby, you don’t want to start something, you can’t finish.”

I stay quiet for just a brief moment, “Ryder, I will be glad to start and finish anything with you, anytime, anywhere. The question is am I what you really want?”

 There I said it, now am I really ready for an answer?

He then shocks me to my core with his admission, “Dina, it’s been you and only you I have wanted since the first night I met you at the restaurant. Since the night we found you at the bottom of the stairs, when I beat the shit out of that bastard, I haven’t been with anyone. I have been waiting for you to get over that situation and feel comfortable and safe again.”

 He pauses and sighs, but continues, “Dina, you are one of a kind special. I am far from a perfect man, I am not even a good man, but for you and because of you I want to be. I have treated women wrong in the past; I have used them, lead them on, and dumped them in some harsh ways. I have never laid a hand on a woman, but I have left some completely and unintentionally broken, and for that I am sorry.  I don’t want to lead you on or treat you wrong. I want to be your safe place, Dina. I never want to see you sad, or hurt. I want to hold you close and call you mine in all ways for always. Baby, I have messed up big time in my past and I am paying for it even now. I don’t deserve someone as strong and beautiful as you. I have tried to stay away from you, but you just draw me in. When you look at me, I feel like you can see the potential and goodness inside me. One kiss from you, is enough to make me weak in the knees. Dina, I want to see what we can make of the electricity between us.” 

He sighs, “I wish I was there, I didn’t want to do this by phone.”

I take a moment because I don’t know what to say. Finally, I stammer through, “Ryder, you mean so much to me. You saved me when I was at my lowest. I want to see what we can make of us. I won’t lie, I am scared, but I trust you with my insecurities. I trust you with every part of me. My body craves your touch, Ryder; my mind craves your conversation, and my heart craves your safety. I trust you, Ryder, to help restore me.”

I hear a voice in the background, then Ryder says, “Oh baby you have just made the whole situation here so much better. I would love nothing more than to tell you exactly how I would wash every inch of your body, but I have to go, I am needed. I will call you tomorrow. I will see you as soon as I can get back home and we will make this work, Goodnight, my sunshine.” Before I can respond, he is gone.
