Longing by Lilly Avalon

It’s been two months since Allegra walked out of Devlin’s hotel room. Well, two months and five days, but she’s not counting. She needs to move on, but before she can, Devlin shows up again…as her new coworker.

Seeing him at work every day is enough to make her lose her mind. Allegra tries to stay away from Devlin, knowing the effect he has on her, but she can’t. The more she’s around him, the more she’s tempted to have something more with him. After everything that’s happened in the past, it’s a slippery slope that may land her in a place she never wants to revisit. Something is happening to her heart, though. A longing is building up that isn’t one-sided…and doesn’t feel temporary.

He wants her. She wants a forever. Is it possible to have it all?

About the author:

Lilly Avalon is the thirty-something author of the RESIST series and other romance books. She started to pen her first erotica at twelve years old, but her mom found the "dirty story" and threw it away, which was just as well because it wasn't that good. At all.

Luckily, she continued to write stories for years until she rediscovered her love of sexy tales in her late twenties. Her first erotica, HERE ALL ALONG, began her romance writing career. She has since written other erotic romances and even a couple new adult novels.

Lilly currently resides in Ohio with her husband and pet mice. Lilly Avalon is a pen name.

What inspired you to write your book?

I wanted to create a book with lots of sexual tension. When I first met Allegra, I didn't know what her story was, but as she met up with different people her personality came through quickly. She was surprisingly a lot like me, sassy but sweet. Then Devlin came along and when the two of them are together, it was just magical.

Here is a short sample from the book:

I expect him to leave, but he continues standing in front of me. That panty-dropping cologne enters my nostrils again and I can’t move. “Um, I need to…work…stuff.”

“I don’t want to walk away just yet.”

What does he mean by that? My breath catches in my throat. “What are we doing?” I whisper.

He tilts his head. “Whatever you want.” His fingers graze across the edge of my jaw.

Focus, Allegra. “I…uh…” I heave a heavy sigh. “Look—we had a great night together. But that’s all it was—it’s what we agreed to.” A one-night stand is a one-night stand for a reason. This reason right in front of me.

“I promised you one night of passion. I didn’t promise that it would be the last.”

“I never said I wanted more than that.”

He comes closer, our breaths now mingling. “Your reaction to me begs to differ.”

“Just because you can turn me on doesn’t mean I want you.”

His lips quirk into a smile and he whispers into my ear, “I think that’s the definition of want, princess.”

This is bad. He’s twisting up my insides in several different ways. It’s okay to let go once, but not twice. He’s not the one. I can’t give in to the temptation again without the threat of opening what I call the vault—my Pandora’s Box of heartbreak. I can’t think about the fact that I want to run my fingers through his soft brown hair, pulling him down closer to my face as he…

I push him away with one palm flat on his chest. He willingly steps back. “I have to get to work,” I tell him, straightening up.

“Very well. As you were.” He gives me one final glance, and then walks off.

Well, I know now that he’s still interested. What I don’t know is if I’m the reason he came here. It’s only a matter of time before he reveals the truth to me. I just have to hope I can keep it in my pants in the meantime.

    Redeeming The Amazon by L.V. Lewis

    0 out of 5

    How does a former supermodel deal with body image when she’s lost an essential hallmark of her femininity?

    Most come to The Beaudelaire Hotel a few times a year merely to indulge in sexual fantasy, but the stakes are higher for Karen Freeman and Paul Beaudelaire. Karen is nine years post-op from a double mastectomy, and her vain ex-husband hadn’t agreed with her decision to remove her remaining good breast or to eschew reconstruction. In the end, that decision cost her. She lost her marriage, but she’s certain the move prolonged her life.

    Returning to a normal dating and sex life has been difficult. She hasn’t made love fully unclothed since the demise of her marriage, and her most significant relationship occurred right after her surgery. While recuperating, she had an affair of the heart with a Marine amputee who’d also been her Ph.D. classmate.

    Paul Beaudelaire once had his pick of women in the upper echelons of New Orleans society. He’d been satisfied to continue in that vein, until his career in the Marine Corps was cut short by the loss of his left leg. Paul returned home with the best prosthesis Johns Hopkins could fit him with, but left his heart in Baltimore.

    Can a marine amputee restore a beautiful model whose body has been ravaged by cancer? Will this fantasy weekend at his Uncle Henri’s hotel give him a second chance with his contemporary Amazon, or will her fear of rejection be a barrier to their reconnection?
