by Melissa Riddell
Young Adult Fairy Tales
Pre-Order Today
Amazon:
Blurb
A woman determined to protect her heart, and a man willing to test its limits. Will his secret break her curse or doom them for eternity?
Imala Chogan
From the day my tribe was cursed by a rival shaman two hundred years ago, my life has been nothing but a dreary, loveless existence. The one day I can shed my raven form, I am reminded all over of the pain and loss of those I had to leave behind. I’ll never subject myself to that kind of agony again—even if it swaggers in with a ridiculous Stetson hat and talks with a cute, southern drawl. Besides, what man would want to be with me when they learn my secret?
Jaggar Martin
A fresh start sounded good, especially after the horror I’d witnessed—and created—while in the military. Keeping a steady job working for Revan Chogan, having a roof over my head, and putting an end to the blood-soaked nightmares is my version of heaven. Enter Imala, who’s gorgeous, sharp-tongued, and cold like frigid icicles. I think she’s warming up to me, though. But if she gets a glimpse of what I keep buried deep inside, will she love me—or kill me?

“You need to get dressed,” she said, bending to collect my pants and shirt from where they’d been discarded on the floor. She thrust the clothes toward me, refusing to look at me, her breathing heavy as she fought to regain control.
I got to my feet, took the clothes from her, and tossed them to the chaise behind me. Threading our fingers together, I tugged her back into my chest and smiled down at her, staring deeply into her wide doe-like eyes.
“Is that really what you want?”
“Yes,” she said, her lips parting as she said the word, but her eyes told a very different story.
“You sure? Getting naked is kind of my job.”
Her brow furrowed and she pushed at my chest, stepping back. “And you are very good at it, but that’s not why I’m here.”
I folded my arms across my chest and widened my stance. “Then why are you here?”
“To talk to you,” she said, matching my stance. My eyes fell to her breasts, which were practically spilling from the top of her dress from the movement.
Slowly I raised my eyes back to her face and watched as she swallowed hard, squirming beneath my gaze.
“I’m not sure if you know this, but talking isn’t usually what goes on back here.”
Her lips parted in shock at my implication, and I couldn’t help but imagine those lips wrapped tightly around my shaft.
Her eyes fluttered closed as she took a deep breath in and then exhaled. “Let’s start over.”
I nodded, waiting for her to continue as the music skipped to the next song on the playlist. The dance was only supposed to last one song, but curiosity kept my feet planted as I waited for her to continue.
“My name is Chloe Anderson,” she said. “I believe you knew my aunt.”
I stood there frozen, half naked, my cock rock hard and throbbing in front of this gorgeous woman who, as it turned out, was my new boss.
Samatha “Sam” Harris lives in Pennsylvania with her husband David and daughter Ava. Born in Florida, she migrated north which most people agree was a little backwards. She has been an artist all of her life, a Tattoo Artist for more than ten years, and a storyteller since she was a kid.
Sam has a slightly unhealthy love for Frank Sinatra, classic movies, and Jazz and Blues music, but her first love will always be reading. From Romance, to Thrillers, to Historical Fiction and everything in between, she loves to become a part of the story. As a writer she tells the stories that she would want to read.

EXCERPT
“Don’t scream.” He barely speaks it. Just a low intonation from the shadowed figure in my armchair.
My heart stutters and thuds painfully when I identify him, one elegant leg crossed over the other, lounging back like he owns the place.
He unfolds his large form from the chair with grace.
“Wh-what are you doing here?” I catch the back of the sofa with my fingertips to steady the swoop of the room. Damn blood volume.
He doesn’t answer, just saunters toward me with a devilish smirk in place. Like he knows everything that’s about to happen and enjoys that I don’t.
Damn Russian.
“I came to get what’s mine.” He advances slowly.
The floor stops tilting enough for me to take my hand away from the couch and jab it into the purse still slung over my shoulder to find my phone. I might be able to call 911—
Ravil catches my wrist and takes the phone away, pocketing it.
Or not.
He divests me of the purse, which he drops on the floor by the satchel.
If he looked angry, if his touch had hurt me, I’m sure I would have screamed. At least, that’s what I tell myself.
In reality, I’m trapped in his azure gaze, memories of how he commanded my body so masterfully the last time we were together flooding back.
I find indulgence in his eyes... not rage. Only a hint of danger.
I put a hand protectively over my belly and take a step backward toward the hall.
He catches my wrist again and pulls me back. Places my palm back on the sofa. “I liked you where you were, kotyonok.”
Kotyonok. His pet name for me.
Kitten.
He picks up my other hand and puts it on the back of the sofa, and I have no doubt why he enjoyed this position. I’m perfectly presented for a spanking. He presses down on the backs of both hands, his body crowding mine from behind. “Don’t. Move,” he murmurs against my ear.
I instantly rebel, pulling one hand up and away.
“Hmmm.” He’s patient. He catches my hand and pins it down again. “No safe words for you this, time, kitten. But I’ll be gentle.”
He bands one arm around my waist and splays his hand over my growing belly. “You shouldn’t have kept this from me.”

Author Bio
What do you see when you close your eyes? Does your mind conjure more than just images? For JP Corwyn, that sense of the click-click-clicking of the world goes far beyond just the visual. Legally blind from birth, Corwyn has made a career out of connecting the words and worlds in his head with the hearts and minds of those around him. A born performer, he sang before he spoke and declared his intention to pursue music at the ripe old age of five. He began writing stories and songs in high school. By the time he’d graduated, he was ready to hit the studio and started touring. JP Corwyn has graced stages from Florida to New York, west to Mississippi, and abroad. But Corwyn’s harbored a dark, secret obsession throughout his musical career. He’s spent years building fantasy worlds - entire universes for later use in his other driving force – writing fiction. “For me, it’s more like archeology than creation,” Corwyn says. After spending 20+ years unearthing the cultures, languages, histories - all the things that bring a world and its people to life - it was time to embark on his epic fantasy series The Cycle of Bones. Corwyn’s released the first book in the series – a novella entitled The Dawn of Unions. The second book and a series soundtrack are slated for release in mid-2020. When he’s not writing prose, you can usually find Corwyn on stage or in the studio. He’s always working on something new, but you might catch him at a coffee shop, a game store, or even a medieval fair.
