Taming the Storm

Sizzle Rating: Sizzling Sex and Language

Taming the Storm – a dual POV story with graphic sex scenes, adult language, and a stormy, hot Dominant hero with a rule book all of his own.

“I still want to dominate you… I still need to dominate you. Sexually. But because it’s you… and because I’m in love with you, everything else is different. The rules don’t matter anymore.”

Bree

What do you do when you’re fresh out of a divorce from a man who wanted to control every inch of your life, but your brother’s need to keep you safe means he’s just as bad?

You escape… that’s what you do.

And that’s what I did, until my brother’s gorgeous bodyguard caught me… and threatened to spank me if I didn’t behave myself.

Now I can’t stop thinking about him and all the things he could do to me… if only he wanted to.

Colt

What do you do when the woman you’ve been in love with for over a decade is finally free, but you know she’s wrong for you? Or at least, you’re all wrong for her?

You keep your distance… that’s what you do.

And that’s what I did, until Bree’s impulsive escape made me threaten to spank her.

Now I can’t get the thought out of my head… and I don’t want to.

Taming the Storm is book one in the Never Give Up Series, but can be read as a stand-alone story with no cliff-hanger, and a guaranteed HEA.

A note from Suzie…

“I loved writing this story, probably more than any other to date (although I have a feeling I say that every time I finish a book!). In this instance, I just enjoyed writing about a man who’s willing to be tamed… to throw away the rule book… for the woman he loves.”

Days of Summer: An emotional, uplifting romance for lovers… everywhere

In Days of Summer, Kit and Summer have known each other all their lives – except they’ve never met.

Struggling under the weight of his guilt, anger, and sadness, Kit is incapable of connecting with anyone. He’s closed himself off from the world, buried himself in work, and wrapped his smothered daughter in cotton wool. But a tragic death forces him to return to his childhood home, where he meets the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen, forcing him to question everything that he’s avoided about his life.

The woman is Summer, the ray of sunshine who is exactly what Kit needs to bring him back to life again. Fighting his feelings – and Summer – every step of the way, she vows to help this broken man as best she can… No matter what.

Until one day, he goes too far…

Will Summer ever forgive him? And can he forgive himself?

A note from Suzie…

“Days of Summer was the first book I sat down and wrote from scratch after my husband suffered two strokes. We were lucky: he survived. But our lives changed completely and I wanted to write something about accepting that things don’t always go to plan… that sometimes life just is what it is. And this is that book.”

Never Too Late – a deeply moving story of love, loyalty and second chances.

It was a meeting that only lasted an hour, but it was a meeting that would change their lives. Forever.

To Adam, Jenna was young, beautiful, and shy, and he fell for her so hard and so fast that to him, she would always be ‘the girl’. To Jenna, Adam was perfect… the most handsome man she’d ever seen, especially the striking tattoo that adorned his back, earning him the nickname ‘the wolf man’; at least in her mind. But a series of misunderstandings meant their plans for the following day never happened, forcing them to go their separate ways, to very different lives.

Fifteen years later, Adam has been through a series of relationships, always looking for something ‘more’ and losing a lot along the way. Jenna has come away from her ruined marriage a broken woman, choosing to protect herself behind a wall, burying herself away from life… and men.

What happens when fate reunites them, and they find out who they truly are? Will Adam be able to break through Jenna’s defences and help her see that, even after all these years, after so much heartbreak, it’s never too late to fall in love… again?

A note from Suzie…

“In this, my third stand-alone novel, I wanted to see what would happen to two characters who were brought together for just a brief time – one hour in this case – and then were divided and lived their separate lives, only find each other again many years later.”

Time for Hope – an inspiring, uplifting story, guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

In Time for Hope, timing is everything. Especially when you know time is running out…

Time for Hope – Hope Nelson is lonely. After the tragic ending of her first marriage, all she wants is someone to love her, to share her life, and – above all – be committed to her, but she’s starting to think that’s just the stuff of her favourite novels, not her reality. It doesn’t help that she lives in a tiny rural village in Cornwall, where there are no single men under the age of sixty, or that she rents out a beautiful holiday cottage designed as an intimate getaway for couples… Constant reminders that both life and romance are passing her by.

When Logan Quinn takes a last minute booking, arriving alone and looking utterly gorgeous, she starts to think her luck might have changed. Until he reveals he’s recently broken off his engagement… just two days ago.

Looking for a quick escape from his broken relationship, the last thing Logan expects is to meet the beautiful owner of the cottage and fall head over heels. All he has to do is convince Hope to give him a chance, to trust him, and to show her that anything worth having is worth waiting for.

Should be a breeze.

Except all is not as it seems.

Because Hope has a secret and, while they say love is blind, this secret could tear them apart before they’ve even started.

A note from Suzie…

“For my second stand-alone novel, I wanted to create a real, old-fashioned romance. And what could be more romantic than writing letters to the one you love… every, single day?”

Finding Matt – sometimes appearances can be deceptive.

Finding Matt is the story of Grace, who seems to have it all, but in reality, has almost nothing, and Matt, who wants to give her everything… and more.

When her husband dies, she doesn’t really know how to behave. He never loved her. And he’s left her with nothing, except bruises and scars, and bad memories… and the hope that somewhere out there, there must be something better than this.

Matt is a self-made multi-millionaire from Boston, and until that night two years ago, everything was pretty damned perfect. He had his fair share of beautiful women, the best friends and a good life… until one stupid mistake nearly cost him everything.

Now he’s done with looking back. He’s done with being scared and he’s done with uncertainty. He wants a future… with someone special. Someone he can trust. All he needs to do is find her…

It’s business that brings Matt and Grace together.

It’s love that holds them there.

But, when someone from the past threatens their happiness, and Grace’s safety, how far will Matt go to protect the woman he loves?

He’ll go as far as he has to… and further.

This is the first book in the Escaping the Past series.

A note from Suzie…

“My first ever novel… I loved writing this one, and creating a really strong couple, in Matt and Grace, who would support each other through thick and thin. And of course, I got to create the characters who would go on to inhabit the rest of the series. What fun!”

Finding Luke – sometimes you have to sacrifice your past, to get the future you always knew you wanted.

Finding Luke is the story of Megan, whose life has been ruled by her domineering father, and Luke… who’s never had to live by any rules at all. Until now.

Megan has never had a boyfriend. She’s not allowed. Her father always made it clear what he’d do to any man who came near her. And with his track record, Megan has always believed him.

Now, she’s taken a job modelling, in the south of France, because she needs the money. It sounds like easy work to her… until she meets Luke; the most beautiful man she’s ever seen. She wants him more than she’s ever wanted anything. But she knows the rules. She can’t have him. Can she?

Luke doesn’t do relationships. He never has. He does women… lots of them. He’s made a speciality of one night stands, because he decided a long time ago that no-one was ever going to get close enough to hurt him.

It seems someone really hates him, though, because he’s being sent to the south of France on a photographic shoot, with just one golden rule… don’t screw the model. Sounds simple? It would be, except she’s the most perfect woman he’s ever seen, and he doesn’t just want to take her to bed… he wants to keep her.

What happens when a man who’s always strived for freedom finally decides he wants to try at forever… with a woman who can only give him ‘for now’?

This is the second book in the Escaping the Past series.

A note from Suzie…

“Luke is, perhaps, the most pivotal character in the whole series and here, we discover who he really is… and how far he’ll go to protect the woman he loves.”

Finding Will – sometimes scars are more than skin-deep.

Finding Will is the story of Jamie and Will, who both have traumatic pasts they’re desperately trying to forget… if only they can.

Jamie feels scarred by what happened to her. She is scarred. There’s no getting away from it; she can see the scars every time she looks in the mirror. And it bothers her. A lot.

To add to her usual insecurities, she’s got to work with a guy who’s renowned for being aloof. Not only has she got to work with him, she’s got to live at his house, share his space and try not to look too deeply into his soulful blue eyes… while trying to find out whether he’s really as guilty as their boss thinks he is.

Will has a way of dealing with the past, which is quite straightforward: he ignores it. He’s been doing that for years and it’s worked really well for him… until now.

Jamie’s coming to his house to investigate him. He’s not meant to know that, of course, but then he’s not an idiot. The problem is, Will thought Jamie was a guy. And she isn’t. She’s a woman; a beautiful, sexy woman… and he wants her more than he’s ever wanted anything. Only he doesn’t know what to do about that. He never has…

Once they get beyond their mutual mistrust, can Will and Jamie overcome their past insecurities and their present misunderstandings, to built a future together? Or will the past always get in the way of their happiness?

This is the third book in the Escaping the Past series.

A note from Suzie…

“Throughout the series, Will has always been there, strong and silent, in the background. We’ve been aware he has problems, but not what they are. In this book, we find out… and we also discover that it takes a strong woman, like Jamie, to help him overcome them. ”

Finding Todd – sometimes you have to lose everything to find out what matters most.

Finding Todd is the story of Holly, who’s struggling to put the past behind her, and Todd, who wants to help her try… if only she’ll let him.

Holly’s boyfriend cheated on her. Unforgiveably. And, after what he did, she’s not sure she’s ever going to be able to trust a man again… or that she even wants to try.

Coming back from what was supposed to be a romantic week away, to her first day in CID, she finds she’s unexpectedly put on a murder case, and she’s going undercover… with an American. He’s the original tall, dark and handsome, with eyes she could just melt into. And not only that, just when her defences are at an all time low… she has to pretend to be his wife.

Todd’s a cop, just like his father before him. But his dad was killed in the line of duty and he watched his mom fall apart. As a result, he’s never looked for love. He can’t risk taking on that kind of responsibility…

Todd has been sent to London to go undercover, but he won’t be working alone. He’s going to be teamed with a female officer… and she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. Not only that, she’s vulnerable, sad and kind of lonely, and for some reason, that bothers him. He wants to make it right, to protect her, to make her happy… Dammit, he just wants her.

When Todd finally falls in love, it seems he falls hard, and fast. But is he asking too much of Holly? Is she ready to love again? And when their feelings are put to the test, who will be found wanting?

This is the fourth and final book in the Escaping the Past series.

Jake and Cassie had been best friends since they were six years old, ever since Cassie and her mom first moved to Somers Cove, in Maine. Everyone thought they were inseparable, and when they started dating in high school, the whole town thought they’d be together forever… and so did Jake and Cassie. But then, when they finished college, it became clear they wanted very different things from life. Cassie wanted to settle down in her beloved Somers Cove, while Jake craved the bright city lights – and neither of them was budging. A good excuse for Jake to cheat? Hardly.

Now, four years later, they’re reunited in unexpected and tragic circumstances. Neither can deny the spark is still there. But can Cassie forgive Jake for cheating on her all those years ago, and how will he react when he discovers that Cassie ran out on him carrying more than just her bags and her books?
