Rug Burns (Reviving Haven Book 2) (17 page)

“I love you, baby,” he croons as he slips into me.

He satiates me completely. He’s right. It does feel like home. I can’t imagine a life without him. I’ve put him through so many ordeals to get to this point. I never thought I’d ever be worth loving, especially by someone like him. I no longer fear what’s coming, but embrace it. Because my destiny is with him and I have no doubt a future without Keenan would make my present unbearable.

I feel him swell as my muscles clench him tightly. My release is met with endearing words of love from my future husband.

“I love you too, Kee. I never totally shared myself with you. I only gave you a fraction. The rest I hid because I never believed you and I could be more. I fought these feelings for so long and I pushed you away so many times. But you never gave up on me—us. I can’t imagine how you found the strength to stay or why you bothered. But I’m glad you did. Because now I want you to have all of me. Everything you were denied is now yours. I belong to only you. I always will."

The End

It always takes many to write a book. I pen the story. Robin Harper/Wicked by Design creates a cover that brings my idea to life. She’s an actual magician. My talented and patient editor Cassie McCown or as I think of her (Miracle worker: Extraordinaire)—it’s her job to take that sensual tale I’ve written and make sure that all the T’s are crossed and the I’s are dotted. In reality, she is the person that makes sure, what you read makes sense. My formatter Sharon Kay––She takes everything and somehow turns the interior into a work of art.

My author buds: Ahren Sanders, Kathy Coopmans, Cambria Hebert, Mary Ting, Desiree A. Cox, Arie Lane and Tracey Champion. You all inspire me daily. I want to be you when I grow up! You listen to my vents, answer questions and offer me support.

My friends: Lori, Ben, Dee Dee, Jan, Jo and Katrina: I love you all.

I have many in my fan group but I need to shout out to Dusty Summerfield, Lynne White, Jeanna Salazar, Laura Lee and many more who spend their time making sure everyone knows who I am and what I write. They do it all week long, without compensation—just because they are fans. I appreciate their constant support more than I can say. Melissa Darling, you are the best! Thank you for taking the “temporary” PA position and deciding to keep it. I feel like my “Dream Team” is now complete.

Danielle Green Linhart, thank you for the awesome swag you create every time I release a book. Christopher John, we will meet one day, I swear. You’re such a great photographer and a virtual BFF. Thank you for photographing Derek Poole and allowing him to make Keenan a reality.

I could write ten more pages regarding all the bloggers, authors, and Facebook friends that have helped me along the way to make my dreams come true. Even if you haven’t been mentioned, I know who you are and your support is valued and appreciated.

Ruby Barrera. I hope you love your character. She became a very prominent figure in just one chapter.

Brandy Defires-Swendt: You are the ULTIMATE Reviving Haven fan. No matter what is going on in your life-you are always there to support me. Until I met you, I thought I was strong. I had no idea what being resilient meant until you became a part of my life. You are a freaking WARRIOR!

Bite & Release

Reviving Haven

Acquiesce

The Reason I Breathe
(Bite & Release 2)

I began writing music and poetry at an early age. My love of music became my sole focus and I spent quite a few years as the lead singer for many local rock bands. In high school, I was fascinated with the macabre and started writing science fiction and horror stories so dark they earned me the nickname "Gory Cory."

After years of writing dark tales, I never thought in a million years my first published books would be Adult Romance—themed younger men/older women. My books are written for ages over 18.
