#PREORDER Profile of Retribution by Alexa Grace #Romantic #Suspense

PROFILE OF RETRIBUTION
NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!



From USA Today bestselling author of Deadly Offerings, Alexa Grace, comes the third book in her Profile Series: Profile of Retribution, a spine-tingling story of guilt, vengeance and regret. 

The Dream

Bradley and Tisha Lucas had a mini-mansion in the country, a thriving architectural business, and two handsome, intelligent and athletic teenage sons.  They were living the dream, until the day their world imploded and they were thrust into a parent’s worst nightmare.

The Nightmare

Before they had a chance to grieve the untimely deaths of their seventeen-year-old twin boys, they learned the horrific truth. Like a headline ripped from the tabloids, their sons had systematically abducted, tortured, and murdered seven innocent young women.

The Retribution

For their parents, the nightmare didn't stop after Evan and Devan Lucas snuffed out the lives of seven victims for fun.  It was just beginning.  At a support group, the families of the women murdered by the Lucas twins gather to tell their stories, share their anger and grief, as they move toward a new normal.  

For one member of the group, an obsession for payback drove his days and nights.  He pledged to make Bradley and Tisha Lucas pay for the crimes of their sons.  It was a pledge he was determined to keep.  He’d make them suffer, just as their sons’ victims had. Those who spawn monsters shall be judged, shall be condemned. Retribution would be his.

Racing Against the Clock

It wasn't that Sgt. Cameron Chase didn't have a suspect, he had too many of them. There were seven families who might want to harm the Lucas couple.  But which of them wanted the ultimate in retribution — to see them dead?

Don’t miss this fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat crime fiction thriller. Profile of Retribution will have your attention in its grips from page one until the end.

#FREE March 30 - 31, 2015!



Description

A firefighter and his submissive wife face potentially life-threatening issues on their journey deeper into the world of BDSM. 

Following a long-delayed honeymoon that saved their crumbling marriage, firefighter Dom Jamie Caldwell couldn’t be happier with how his wife and submissive is taking to the lifestyle. But when a scene triggers a bad reaction and Erica doesn’t use her safeword, Jamie wonders just how solid their bond truly is. 

Erica is over the moon with her new relationship with her husband. Just months ago, they’d been on the verge of divorce, but now the future is bright—all thanks to the trust and honesty they’ve forged through BDSM. Everything they do is new and exciting… until it isn’t. And neither one knows how to move forward after Erica’s body betrays her. 

When a medical condition turns everything they know upside down, can Jamie and Erica find a way to strengthen their fragile connection? 

A Snippet

Lying naked across Jamie’s lap, Erica curled her hands into fists, bringing the cuffs that bound her wrists into stark relief. She struggled to suppress the quivers that wracked her shoulders in anticipation of Jamie’s spanking. “Please, Sir,” she begged.

Jamie chuckled and ran his hand over her hungry flesh. “Remember what I said about topping from the bottom?”

“Sorry, Sir. I just really—”

Shoot. She was doing it again. Snapping her mouth shut, she forced herself to relax her fists and kept her eyes on the carpet. When a few light taps landed on her butt, she sighed in relief. Jamie always started this way.

“You just what?” his voice was soft, curious.

“I need it. So badly.”

Against her hip, she felt Jamie’s growing erection. She pressed into it, wanting his pleasure as much as her own.

“I have a present for you,” he said.

Instantly on alert, she turned her head to see his face. Jamie’s presents were usually new toys to add to their growing collection. He reached into his toy bag and pulled out a serious-looking paddle. It was about fifteen inches long and had holes in the head. “This is a discipline paddle.”

“Thank you, Sir.” She allowed her mouth to curve into a grin. “I’m sure I’ll enjoy it.”

“No you won’t.” He smacked her hard. Heat enveloped her left butt cheek. She yelped, her back arching to pull her bottom as far away from the paddle as she could. “But I will,” he added, and she could hear the sadistic amusement in his voice.

Description

A firefighter desperate to save his failing marriage earns the trust—and the sexual submission—of his controlling wife in the most pleasurable of ways.


After an explosive one-night stand results in pregnancy, Jamie Caldwell is thrilled to marry the perfect foil to his Dom side. But when his submissive wife starts cringing every time he gives a command, Jamie shackles his dark desires. A bout of rough, frenzied reunion sex makes him wonder if now he should free the Dom he’s kept in chains and teach Erica the joys of submission and sexual surrender.


Erica Caldwell secretly loved every sinful thing Jamie did to her on their first night together. However, terrified she’ll become a codependent doormat like her mother, she repeatedly rejects Jamie’s dominance, despite craving the kind of release only he can give her—the release that comes from yielding to Jamie’s every demand.


Hoping that the trust required by BDSM will help them rebuild their faith in each other, Jamie and Erica embark on a journey of sexual exploration. But is it too late to repair their crumbling marriage?

Description


Polar opposites—she’s kinky, he’s uptight—discover they share a taboo desire that may destroy both their futures. 



Firefighter Dani Harris has always wanted a family, but doesn’t think it’s possible because of her demanding, high-stakes career. Her sex life is as high-adrenaline as her job, and that’s just one more thing that makes her unsuitable to be a wife and mother. Her secret kink—exhibitionism—has gotten in the way of more than one relationship. Will she ever find a man who not only shares her wild fantasies, but loves her for them?


Burdened with ensuring the success of the struggling family business, William Caldwell IV needs a wife suited for a CEO—one with money and connections, who can manage his busy social life and raise their 2.5 children. He’s got everything all mapped out, but when he meets Dani, a woman who’s nothing but every kind of wrong, she taps into desires he’s only half-recognized and long-suppressed. Suddenly his carefully crafted five-year plan feels as confining as a straightjacket.


As Dani and Will’s sexual experimentation escalates, they test the limits of polite society by baring all and risking exposure—an exposure that could cost them their reputations and careers.

Happy reading!

Top Five Valentine Gifts of Love

The brutal truth is that my DH is not much into this great holiday, so I can't base my top five list on things I've received. Instead, what I've done prepared a list of the gifts that my heroes would give my heroines if I wrote them a Valentine's story. 

1. Nic to Lauren - Nic is a true romantic. His gift to Lauren would be a fairy tale night with all the trimmings. He'd charter a yacht to sail the St-Lawrence river (yes, I know the river is almost frozen solid in February, but work with me here). A small band would play all their favorite music and they'd dance the night away under the stars, while drinking champagne, eating a variety of gourmet dishes, surrounded by their friends and family. Later, they'd go down to the stateroom and he'd show her once again how much he loves having her in his life. 



2. Rémi to Alyssa - Rémi is my most spiritual hero, so his gift would have a symbolic meaning for both of them. Because it's winter, they'd stay home with a fire lit, the lights turned low. He'd cook their meal on it. He'd feed her, then she'd feed him, to show that they are both strong and will support each other. He'd take her in his arms and gift her a ring on which were carved two wolf paw prints, signifying his clan and his pledge to walk beside her throughout their lives and beyond. Then he'd lay her down on a fur rug and love her so hard, she'd forget about everyone and anything but him. He'd be inside her and her inside him, connected in their hearts, bound forever. 



3. Kaden to Azita - Kaden is very sensitive to Azita's culture and the meaning behind gifts, and the fact that she is new to the concept of Valentine's Day. To commemorate her first Valentine's Day as his wife, he takes it upon himself to prepare their dinner alone, one they share with their adoptive daughter Laila. He gives both of them flowers and chocolates, something neither has ever received before. He also gives them both a set of gold bangles, each one bearing a different design. Later, when they are alone, he gives Azita a gold necklace of fine chains hanging in a pattern along the front. Within the chains are small stones representing each of their birthdays (his, Azita's and Laila's). Several chains have no stones. He tells her those are for the children they will have together.



4. Jamie to Erica - In Handle with Care, Jamie already gives Erica a very special present, but on Valentine's Day, he makes her rest (she's pregnant) while he and their daughter Chloe prepare a great meal for Mommy. They have all her favorites and eat in the dining room with her fancy Limoges dishes. Dinner is topped off with a chocolate fondue with fruit and mini-marshmallows. Then once Chloe is off to bed, Jamie takes Erica to their room and gives her the night of her life, with her eyes blindfolded. At the end, when she is sated in his arms, he removes the blindfold and shows her his new tattoo, a stylized heart with a lock. Surrounding the heart is a ribbon with Erica's name and Chloe's. There is an empty spot to hold the name of their baby. He has given his heart into their trust as they have given theirs to him. 



5. William to Dani - Dani is not the type of woman who is moved by the traditional Valentine's Day gift, so William really has his work cut out for him. He takes her to a ski resort in the Cascade mountains, where they have a blast trying to out ski each other on the diamond runs. At the end of the day, they retire to their suite in the resort hotel. William starts the hot tub in their room and orders her to strip. He leaves the curtains open, knowing this will excite her. He makes her get in the tub. Moments later, there is a knock. He opens the door and lets a handsome waiter in. All the while Dani sits smiling in full view. William hands Dani the bottle of Corona with a slice of fresh lime in it and takes his own glass of Glenlivet. While the waiter arranges their dinner on a small table by the window, William sheds his remaining clothing and joins Dani in the tub. She laughs and straddles him, knowing the show is for her own benefit. 


Phew! So what do you think of those gift ideas? If you're looking for something even more unconventional, I've got the story for you! 

Un-Valentine's Day is a cute contemporary romance novelette (37 pages) about a woman who hates the holiday and the man who changes her mind.


It's Valentine's Day, and Noah Jensen has a mad crush on Cassie Ames, a woman who vehemently hates the hearts-and-flowers holiday. Even worse, she doesn't see him as boyfriend material. Can Noah give Cassie a perfectly unconventional un-Valentine's day and move out of the dreaded friend zone--and into her heart?
