SYNOPSIS

There’s me: Micah Owens. Tattoo artist at Damage Control. No parents or siblings. A past that still gives me nightmares.

And then there’s her: Evangeline, the girl who saved my life and haunts my more pleasant dreams. Only she doesn’t know who I really am, and telling her might well send her fleeing for the hills. She deserves better than a loser like me. She’s pretty. She’s clever. She’s goddamn sexy and has a heart of gold.

Which is why I can’t tell her. A smile from her and I’ll do all I can to make her mine – including pretending to be someone I’m not, someone worth having.

Isn’t love weird?

This is book 1 in the Damage Control series – a series parallel to Inked Brotherhood, so that you’ll find the boys of Inked Brotherhood making appearances here, too.
MICAH is a stand-alone work. No cliffhanger. 
The expected publication date is Dec 16, 2014 in the Red Hot Alphas Boxset, on all of your favorite e-book websites.

EXCERPT

Quiet.

I ring the bell again, and when nothing happens, I check the piece of paper. I’m at the right place. Maybe Rafe made a mistake? Or maybe Micah is not in.

Just when I’m about to turn and go, I think I hear footsteps and push the paper into the pocket of my jacket. I lick my lips, my nervousness returning.

The lock creaks and the door slides open. “Yeah?” a hoarse male voice says, and I catch a glimpse of a suspicious blue eye through the opening.

“Micah? It’s me, Ev.” Oh God, this sounds so lame. I shift my weight again, my leg twinging. “I, um. I forgot my walking stick at the cafe...” I feel ridiculous addressing his eye and not even seeing his whole face. “I was hoping maybe you noticed and got it for me.”

“Ev?” His voice cracks. He turns away and coughs, and the worry gently gnawing at my insides morphs into a voracious monster.

“Are you all right?” My voice goes high-pitched, and I wince. Calm down, Ev. “That cold still hasn’t cleared up?”

“What?” He pulls the door open and leans against it, bracing one arm on the frame. One bare, muscled arm. Attached to his muscular bare chest. “Oh, the cold, yeah. I’m fine.”

Fine. “Why did you stay home if you’re fine?”

He blinks at me, a slow sweep of long lashes against high cheekbones, and I have a moment of oh-crap-I’ve-gone-too-far panic.

But he doesn’t slam the door in my face as I think he might. “Rough night,” he mutters. “Ocean said he’d cover for me at work, so I stayed home to sleep.”

Straightforward. Honest. A rough night. I want to ask what made it rough, but I think I’ve already overstepped the boundaries of our... friendship? Acquaintance?

I drop my gaze from his face, and that’s a mistake. My mind blanks a little as I realize he’s shirtless and barefoot, lounging in front of me in only a pair of gray low-hung, draw-string pants. My gaze slides back up his long legs to his narrow hipbones and a spectacular set of abs, complete with sexy divots forming a V line.

My mouth is honest-to-god watering. I tear my gaze off those lickable abs only for it to be caught by his defined pecs and then his amused sky-blue eyes.

“Is there anything I can do for ya?” he drawls lazily, and I swear my panties get wet at the raspy sound.

Well, wetter.

Which is kind of alarming. No guy has ever had such an effect on me before.

Sneak Peek at Cherishing Brianna

Brianna has lived the last eight years of her life alone, and that’s how she intends to spend the rest of it. Before moving to California permanently, she stops off to visit her foster family, the only true people she has ever loved and valued. During her months long stay in the little town of Fate Harbor Washington, Brianna meets Sheriff Charlie Meade and the town vet, Zac Carmichael. Both men are loving, caring and think the world of her. Brianna is horrified to realize how badly she has deceived them.

Brianna knows she has to quickly leave town. Despite the adamant entreaties of her family, she is determined go before things unravel even more and she becomes a burden to the people she loves the most. Can Zac, Charlie and the family make one last ditch effort to make Brianna realize how much they want to care for her no matter what the future might hold?

Exclusive Excerpt

“Wrap your legs around me,” he commanded and she did. She was stunned when he walked over to the kitchen. “So what did she cook up for us Zac?” Brianna giggled. She had seen teenagers do this, and here she was being carried around by the high school quarterback, just like she was some fourteen year girl, and she was loving every minute of it.

“Lasagna, and it looks like she made it from scratch.” She heard the oven being opened behind her.

“Of course it’s from scratch. Mama Betty taught me how to cook.” She snuggled closer, resting her head into the crook of Charlie’s neck.

“It smells wonderful. I didn’t eat, you had me too worked up.” Charlie adjusted their position just a little, and just like that Brianna found the panel of her pantyhose nestled against the ridge of his erect cock. She was so turned on she knew she was going to leave a wet spot on his uniform. She tried to wiggle away.

“No,” his tone brooked no argument.

“You don’t understand,” she whispered, squirming to get down.

“Oh yes I do. You stay right the fuck where you are. I feel your nipples like diamonds against my chest. I can smell your cunt, and feel you marking me. You’re not going anywhere. This is the sexiest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life.” She was mesmerized by the power and demand in his voice as he ground himself against her. Then Zac’s hand pushed her hair away from her neck, biting down on the tendon between her shoulder and neck, catapulting her into a powerful orgasm.
She was trembling, and then she felt Charlie transfer her into Zac’s arms, and she was carried to the sofa. She looked up, and both men were standing over her, and she felt dizzy, fuzzy, warm and almost protected. It was the oddest moment of her life. Light and dark angels. She felt her eyes closing and slid into that realm between sleep and awareness.

Trusting Chance

Josie Decker and Chance Reynolds knew each other years ago when they were in the same foster home, before Josie's birth mother reclaimed her. Now, Chance and his best friend, Sam Booth an Afghan war veteran are living in Fate Harbor, Washington, when Josie reestablishes ties with her foster parents and opens a bakery in the quaint town. Chance realizes that growing up with her birth mother has left Josie with physical and emotional scars and a deep belief that she is unworthy of love. Fate Harbor is very accepting of triad alliances, and Chance believes that the relationship that will ultimately heal Josie is one that includes both he and Sam. Sam's recent trauma, fighting for his country, has left him beyond hurt. Chance has despaired of saving the brother of his heart, but finding Josie again has given him hope, and a plan. Can the three of them make the perfect future together?

My Review:

I had to be in the mood to read this book because it is M/F/M type of book and sometimes I want books to be about one male and one female in a relationship. This book is erotica. Two of the charactors have emotional and physical scars. The love of a good woman and men will help them. I loved this book the way it is written is worth to read. Caitlyn O'Leary is a very good author.   I give this 4 stars.

My Review:  

love me some hot fire fighters. I enjoyed the characters Ian Joshua and Olivia. They complete each other. I was worried about Olivia, she seemed to not want help and she thinks she can stay safe on her own. Joshua and Ian get bossy and keep Olivia safe. This story is well written. The author wrote a great book

Claiming Kara

Five years ago, Kara Johansen met and fell in love with brothers Ben and Quinn Shotbrook while on vacation with her fire fighter brothers in Sitka, Alaska.They planned to marry, when tragedy struck the Shotbrook family, leaving the brothers to care for their mother and younger brothers again. They sent Kara back home to Fate Harbor, Washington, promising that one day they would reunite. Years later, Kara has made the decision that she wants to marry and start a family of her own. She has put away her dreams of ever being with Ben and Quinn and instead focuses on men who are available to her here and now. Her meddling brothers inform Ben and Quinn of her plans. The brothers Shotbrook rush to Fate Harbor to do whatever it takes to reclaim the woman they never stopped loving. Has too much changed between them to save their love?

My Review:

I worried the whole book if Kara would forgive Quinn and Ben.  I thought for sure they would not end up together  but it took the whole book to realizes that Kara was made for only Ben and Quinn.   They are brothers and that weird me out only a little but that was what made all three whole.  I enjoyed reading this book.

My books are filled with men and women who aren't perfect. They have problems, issues, angst, but every single one of them are good people who are deserving of love, (and steamy ménage sex.)

My Review:

This is not another M/M/F.  It is Two Men and One woman.  Two different types of relationships.  I have never read one like this and I really enjoyed not having two men having sex.  This is such a good book and I really enjoyed reading it.  I would really like to find another one like this.  Loved this book.  I give this book 5 stars.

Amazon ~ Barnes and Noble

Excerpt

“Emerson, you really should learn to let loose.  It isn’t healthy for someone to be so serious all the time.”  Kimberly says, reaching up and running her hands through his hair.  It’s different to spend a night without both of the men.

“You think I am not fun, Kimberly?”

“Did I say that?” She retorts and pulls his shirt from his body.

“Along those lines, yes.  I will prove you wrong.  I have a surprise for you tomorrow.”  He tells her as he lays her down, only to be rolled over, with her straddling his waist.

“A surprise huh?”  She smiles as he rolls over on top of her, his naked chest pressed against her lace covered one.

“Mmhmm, but for now it’s time for me to fuck you.”

She lets out a breathy moan as he picks her up placing her in the middle of the bed.  He pulls away slightly, reaching into his carry-on bag.  He shifts all of his weight on his forearms as he lays over her.

“Do you trust me, Kimberly?”

“Yes.”  She answers without hesitation, seeing the look in his eyes has her trembling.

“Good.  I’m going to blindfold you.”

“Why?”  She asks but he slides a finger over her lip.

“If you trusted me it wouldn’t matter.”  He says with a smug grin.

She nods her head as he slides the black silk tie over her eyes, tying it in a knot behind her head.  After he has the blindfold set how he wants it, he slowly trails his hand from her jaw, to her neck, over the swell of her breasts.  His hand continues on in a teasing descent down her body, leaving a trail of fire in its wake.  He slowly pulls her shirt over her head, followed by the tight jeans she taunted him with all night.  She whimpers, feeling the heat of his body move away from her.

“Emerson?”  She calls out hearing his footsteps retreating.  What the hell?  She reaches up to remove the blindfold but halts when she hears his footsteps getting closer.  “Emerson?”

The mattress indents while he kneels at the end of the bed, looking at the woman in front of him—the cream-lace covering her beautiful body.  He grabs her foot, pulling her flush to the mattress, chuckling when she lets out an “hmph.”  He takes a sip of the cold water before sliding a piece of the ice into his mouth.  He kisses up her leg, making sure not to let the ice touch her just yet.  He slides his palms over her knees to her thighs, before reaching the apex of her thighs.  He slides his nose over her sex, inhaling the smell of her arousal.

“You are beautiful, Kimberly.”  He reaches up, grabbing the band of her lace thong before ripping the material in half, exposing her beautiful pussy to him.  “I’ll buy you more.”  He huskily adds, sliding his cold tongue over the lips of her pussy.

“Oh!”  She lets out as his tongue slides between her lips to taste the sweetness between them.  Emerson reaches between her legs, lifting her hips, grabbing the cheeks of her ass—angling her hips to grant him better access to her pussy.  He slides his tongue into her channel, tasting the decadence flowing from her.  He lets out a groan of approval as his tongue laps at the juices flowing freely from her.  He looks up at the goddess laying in his bed, sliding his tongue out of her, gliding it to the bud between her lips.  He gently nibbles on her clit, smiling when he gets a squeal from her.  He slides his right hand out from under her ass while slowly sliding it down the back of her leg to the apex of her thigh.  He teases her for a second, running his hand between her thigh and pussy before sliding two fingers into her.  He curls the two fingers while he flicks his tongue over her clit at a fast pace.  He is a man on a mission, he wants to see her come undone just for him.  He pushes a breath out of his lips onto her clit and within seconds she is withering underneath him.  He knows she’s close, so he curls his fingers one more time and her hands tighten around the sheets.  “Emerson!” She cries out as his mouth is flooded with the sweetness, the essence that is Kimberly.  He continues to lap at her sweet nectar while she comes down from the high he just gave to her.  He slowly flips her over onto her stomach before lifting her hips.

“Are you ready, Kimberly?”

She nods, still speechless from the orgasm he just gave to her.  He grabs her hips and slams his hard cock deep into her pussy.  He lets out a staggered breath, feeling the tightness of her envelope him.  “So fucking good.” He leans down, kissing her back as he slams into her over and over.  She reaches forward, using the headboard of the bed to keep her from losing her placing as he slams into her.  He continues to slam into her as they both work their way up to another release.  As Emerson continues to fuck her ruthlessly, she has no choice but to hold on for the ride.  She reaches between her legs to rub her engorged bud.  Just as she feels herself rising to release, she feels Emerson start to throb inside her tight channel.  She knows he’s about to come so she lets herself go.  She rubs her clit faster as her sex tightens and releases around his throbbing cock.  “Emerson!”  She cries, exploding around him.

“Fuck!”  He howls, spurting his release into her.  He rests his head on her back while he comes down from the heaven he just witnessed.  He reaches up, pulling the scarf away from her head as she lays completely spent underneath him.  He leans forward kissing her temple before rolling off of her, lying down beside her.  “You are beautiful, Kimberly.”
