NEW RELEASE ALERT – JA Huss – Come Back

I’m super excited to share a new release from one of my favorite authors, JA Huss. It’s book two in her Dirty, Dark, & Deadly series and it’s called Come Back.

Come, book one in the series, originally appeared in an erotic Anthology called Bend. It’s now available as a standalone novella on all major book outlets for a delicious .99 cents.

I’d already become a devoted fan of JA’s with her Rook and Ronin series because of her characters and steamy passion. I’d expected something similar in the anthology, but Come was…well, I’m pretty sure an earthquake could have hit and I’d have kept reading. I was in the car with my husband at the time, heading out for a romantic getaway weekend, and it took an insane amount of effort to keep my expression composed.

It didn’t hurt setting the stage for said romantic getaway either…just sayin’.

When I learned the release for Come Back was coming up, I reached out to JA and asked if I could help promote it.

Below you’ll find a summary, buy links, an excerpt for the book, and a rafflecopter entry for some pretty awesome giveaways:

(2) $50 gift cards plus signed copy of COME BACK and swag
(3) $25 gift cards plus signed copy of COME and swag

A warning for those of you interested in reading further–It’s called the Dirty, Dark, & Deadly series for a reason. If you’re not into erotic reads, be forewarned. The excerpt below doesn’t pull punches.  I’d be careful before you swim into those waters if erotica isn’t your cup of tea.

COME BACK – Release Blitz Dirty, Dark, & Deadly #2 By JA Huss Erotic Suspense

COME BACK: Dirty, Dark, & Deadly, #2

“Secrets keep the darkness alive,” Harper tells me. But that’s not how I see it at all. Secrets keep me alive. The truth is overrated. Honesty is never the best policy. And when your job involves killing the most dangerous men on earth, knowing more than you should, will get you killed.

“Death is a business deal,” I tell her back. And I shake his hand every chance I get. Secrets are currency in my world. I pay my debts with them. I feed on them. They ground me in the present and they promise me a future.

But Harper Tate is everything I’ve ever wanted. She is my promise, she is my past, she is my future. She can be mine. She will be mine. All I have to do is complete the mission.

There’s just one problem.

I have no idea what it is.

Excerpt

He takes three quick steps towards me and I back up instinctively, but I hit the sink. And then before I can come up with another plan, he’s pressed up against me, standing over me almost. His stare is captivating because everything about his expression, his body language, his breathing—all of it says this moment counts. His hands hover over my shoulders and then he gives me a crooked smile.

“Harper,” he says calmly.

“What?” I snap again. 

“I want you. I’m going to touch you. I’m not fighting with you anymore. It’s a waste of time. I’m going to fuck the shit out of you right here, right now. In this goddamned desert shithole bathroom even though you deserve to be fucked on a tropical beach or somewhere with a mountain view, or, hell, even the goddamned Hummer would be better than right here. But you know what?”

I swallow down my surprise. “What?” 

“You gotta make the most of what you got. And we’re not on a tropical beach or in front of a goddamned beautiful mountain. And fucking Smurfette is probably out in the Hummer. So this is all I got.”

“None of this has anything to do with the fight we’re having.”

He smiles and then nods at me. “Oh yes, it does. Because here’s the thing, Harp. We are about to have makeup sex. Right the fuck now. And if you don’t want me to do that, then feel free to finish this fight properly. You ready?”

“So you’re gonna force me.”

“I’ll count to three so you can have a few more moments to decide. One.”

My heart begins to beat wildly. “What the hell—”

“Two.” His hands are still hovering above my shoulders but now they slowly descend to rest on my upper arms. “Three.” 

I expect to be turned around, pushed against the sink, and fucked from behind.

But that’s not what I get at all.

His hands descend down my bare arms, stopping at the elbow for a brief moment to caress the soft skin on the underside. And then they continue down to my waist. He eases them underneath my tank top, and then places both palms flat against my skin. “I’ll take that as permission to proceed, but feel free to stop me at any time.” And then his strong hands grab my waist and place my ass on the edge of the sink. He cups my face and leans in, his lips lightly touching mine.

I kiss him back. With tongue.

I can feel the smile on his lips. Because he knows I gave in with that tongue. He won this fight hands down. I am out for the count before the bell even rings. 

“I win,” he whispers into my mouth. “I’m not here to fight with you. I’m not here to trick you. I’m not here to kill your pain-in-the-ass piece-of-shit brother. I’m here for you, Harper. And that’s all there is to it.”
