Title: Accidentally Family

Author: Sasha Summers

Genre: Contemporary Romance

About Accidentally Family:
Welcome to Pecan Valley, where the town may be small but the townspeople will always lend a helping hand or a shoulder to lean on. Where good times, good humor, and good people will always lead to happily ever after.
Life for Felicity, and her teen children, is finally back on track. After her divorce, she wasn’t sure if her sweet family would ever be the same. But things are good––right up until her ex’s spirited toddler lands on Felicity’s doorstep. If the universe is going to throw lemons at her, thank God she has her best friend, Graham, to help her make lemonade out of them. How did she never notice how kind and sexy he is?
Graham is still recovering from his wife’s death years ago and trying to help his teen daughter get her life together. Who is he kidding? His daughter hates him. Forget lemons––he’s got the entire lemon tree. So when Felicity suggests they join forces and help each other, he’s all in. And suddenly he can’t stop thinking about her as more than just a friend. Too bad their timing couldn’t be worse…
Because life rarely goes as planned. Luckily there are many different kinds of family to hold you together and lift you up...plus maybe even a little love between friends.

Publisher Weekly Review:
“… Readers will find it easy to root for their mutual care to blossom into love, but the pair’s children have a tougher time adjusting to their new relationship, providing some thorny obstacles for the budding couple. Graham and Felicity are great parents and they make great partners, and Summers does a good job of grounding all the drama of their lives in sweetness. Readers will be pleased.”
 

Exclusive Excerpt:
Her sister was the strongest person on the planet, but she had to be running on fumes. Not that Felicity would say so, or confide, or lean—she was way too into the big-sister protector thing. Still, Matt had been dead five days. In those five days, her sister had been saddled with his funeral arrangements, keeping her kids’ spirits up, and the whole “when will the ex’s illegitimate love child and destroyer of her niece and nephew’s happy family wake up from his coma?” thing.
Charity felt for the baby, she did. But her loyalties were here, to Nick and Honor, and Felicity, too.
She grabbed a bag of sour-cream-and-onion chips and added it to her pile of snacks, then backed out of the kitchen. “Who’s hungry?” she asked, flopping onto the couch beside Honor.
Honor was watching the bloody melee on the television, a growing look of disgust on her face. “This is horrible. I keep jumping.”
Nick chuckled. “You should try it. Definitely calms the nerves.”
Charity snorted. She was pretty sure trying to shoot a zombie before it bit into you wasn’t relaxing. At least not her idea of relaxing.
“Right?” Diana added. “Dad took my game away because of the whole pot thing. It sucks, big time. Which is why I have lots of sleepovers.”
Charity didn’t say a word. She wasn’t sure how to read Diana yet. Was she really messed up? Or was she acting messed up for attention?
“Pot?” Honor asked.
Diana nodded, taking a licorice lace from Nick. “It’s no big deal. It was one joint. One. The school totally flipped out and expelled me.”
“You were expelled?” Nick looked skeptical.
“Why else do you think I’m going to your school next year?” Diana rolled her eyes. “Dad can’t buy my way back into any of the private schools. Why he thinks I’m better off at a private school versus a public school is beyond me. Where does he think I bought the pot to begin with?”
So, the real deal then. Not that she was going to judge the girl. She couldn’t imagine how hard it would be to lose a parent. There had been plenty of times during her school years when she’d wished her parents would leave her alone—disappear even. But death? Permanently losing one? She couldn’t imagine that.
Was this one of those times she should act like an adult or not? Felicity would probably pop off some after-school-special message that would instantly and forever change Diana’s outlook on life into some happy rainbow-and-cupcakes-kitten thing. But Charity didn’t know how to do that. She didn’t know how to be a mom. The kid in her belly was getting a raw deal. She needed to start taking notes on Felicity’s parenting style.

Today we have the release day blitz for R.L. Kenderson’s Object of my Desire! Check it out and grab your copy today!

Title: Object of my Desire
Author: R.L. Kenderson
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Photographer: FuriousFotog
Model: Chase Ketron
Designer: R.L. Kenderson

About Object of My Desire:

A romance author, a cover model, a book signing...a crush.
Ordinary women like me know we shouldn't fall for beautiful men like Travis Zehler, one of the hottest cover models in romance fiction. But sometimes we can’t help ourselves.
            When I meet him at a book signing, my attraction to him is instant. I'm infatuated, and I can't stop thinking about him.
            Even though I have doubts he’d ever be interested, I invite Travis to attend a book signing with me. And he says yes.
            My fantasy comes true when he takes me to his bed, and the more time we spend together, the more I see that Travis isn’t some object to be desired.
            He’s a man with a past. A man who’s been burned. A man who’s learned to keep his guard up.
            I want to show him he can trust again, but when our confidence in each other is shaken, I began to wonder if happily ever afters are only for my romance novels.

Exclusive Excerpt:
Travis looked away from his phone as he heard Sydney move on the bed. She rolled toward him and put her head on his shoulder. Her brown hair was messy, and her eyes were puffy from sleep.
He thought she looked adorable.
“Mmm … good morning,” she said, her voice hoarse from sleep.
“Good morning.” He kissed her forehead and slid an arm under her head.
She brushed her hand down his chest and abdomen and back up. “Mmm … it’s been a long time since I woke up to a man in my bed.”
“Are you forgetting last weekend?”
She smiled up at him, her eyes half-closed. “That was the hotel bed. I’m talking about my bed.”
“Ah … got it. And I’m glad I could break your dry spell.”
She looked to his phone, which he was holding up. “What are you doing?”
“Just scrolling through Instagram.”
She continued to rub his torso. “That’s your app of choice, isn’t it?”
“Yeah. I used to be on Facebook, but it got to be too much. My personal page, my professional page, groups …”
“I forget how young you are sometimes.”
He wrinkled his forehead. “I’m not that young.”
She kissed his chest and smiled. “Young enough that you’re in the group of twenty-something-year-olds that make me feel old for using Facebook.”
“I never said you were old.”
She laughed. “I know. You should hear my niece.”
Travis smiled. “I can imagine.” He opened up his messages and scanned through them. At the same time, he noticed that Sydney looked away. He assumed it was to respect his privacy.
The woman was a keeper.
He went through them, saving some to reply to later and replying to a few right away. “Oh my God.” The next one he hadn’t been prepared for. He should have been, but those kinds of messages still surprised him every time.
Of course, Sydney looked up at his exclamation.
His first instinct was to hide the image on his phone, but he was innocent.
“Is that … hold on.” She reached over and put her glasses on. “Holy crap.” She burst out laughing. “Those are some huge boobs.” She grabbed his cell out of his hand and zoomed in and out. “Wow. Those babies are impressive.” She handed him back his phone. “Do you know who sent the pic?”
Travis just stared at Sydney. She’d laughed. She hadn’t gotten mad or upset. She thought it was funny.
He cleared his throat. “Uh, no. It’s some random fan.”
“You, too, huh?”
“What do you mean, you, too?”
She rolled her eyes. “I’ve gotten my fair share of dick pics.”
“You have?” He was surprised.
“Yeah. I guess it’s because I write romance. Apparently, the conclusion is, I write about sex, so I must want pictures of strangers’ dicks. When are men going to learn that women don’t ever want that, and if they do, they’ll ask for it?”
Travis laughed. “Do you keep any of them?”
She looked away from him. “Do you?”
“Don’t judge, but sometimes, I show some of my friends before I delete them.”
“You perv. I can’t believe you,” she said, her voice full of sarcasm.
Travis’s eyes widened. “You do it, too.”
“Duh. Of course.”
“So, do you have any on your phone right now?”
“Uh … no.” She looked up at the ceiling.
“You liar.”
“Okay, I have one because I’ve never seen anything like it.”
He made a come-here motion. “Show me.”
“Okay. But it’s your turn not to judge me.” She grabbed her phone from her nightstand, did a couple of moves on her phone, and passed it over to him.
“Holy shit.” He reached down and cupped his dick.
“Right? It’s a Jacob’s Ladder. Ribbed … for her pleasure.” Sydney laughed at her joke.
He was horrified. “That looks so painful.”
“I suppose it is.”
She took her phone back. “I’ve always thought it would be cool to have sex with a guy with a penis piercing, but this is just too much.”
This caught his attention. “You want to have sex with a guy with a penis piercing?”
“Technically, I said it’d be cool. I want to know if it feels good or if it feels weird.”
Travis took her phone out of her hand and threw it on the bed as he rolled Sydney under him. “How about I show you what feels good right now?”
She grinned up at him and spread her thighs.
Travis pushed into her, groaning at the sensation of her wet, slick heat surrounding him.
He kissed her neck and drove into her over and over. Sydney moaned as she lifted both legs and sank her nails into his back. He thrust into her until he brought them both to completion, whereupon he collapsed on top of her.
He quickly fell to her side, so he didn’t suffocate her and pulled her against him.
“Feel good?” he asked.
“Yeah,” she said, panting on his chest.
“And I did it all without a cock piercing.”
Sydney laughed and kissed his sweaty chest. “What are you doing today?”
“I’m hoping you have a gym nearby I can go to.”
“You can go to mine. Do you go every day?”
“Yep. I might take a day off, but it’s usually only once a week. Or, if I can’t go, I do something else to get exercise in.”
She groaned.
“What? You don’t go every day?”
“Hell no. I do four days a week.” She looked up at him. “Does this mean you’re going to break it off with me?” Her eyes widened, and she shook her head. “There I go again, opening my big mouth. And, this morning, I can’t even blame the wine.” She got up on an elbow. “Feel free to ignore me.”
Travis laughed. He liked that she saw them together. The best part was, he wasn’t scared, nor did he feel the need to push her away.
He pulled her back down. “I’ll forget what you said if you go work out with me.”
She rolled away and jumped up from the bed.
He sucked in a breath at her sexy, naked body.
“I take it back,” she said as she walked toward her bathroom. “You can remember me sticking my foot in my mouth.”
Travis laughed.
Five minutes later, he joined her in the shower.
An hour later, she joined him at the gym.
Two hours later, they met up in the shower again.

 


 About R.L. Kenderson:

R.L. Kenderson is two best friends writing under one name.
Renae has always loved reading, and in third grade, she wrote her first poem where she learned she might have a knack for this writing thing. Lara remembers sneaking her grandmother’s Harlequin novels when she was probably too young to be reading them, and since then, she knew she wanted to write her own.
When they met in college, they bonded over their love of reading and the TV show Charmed. What really spiced up their friendship was when Lara introduced Renae to romance novels. When they discovered their first vampire romance, they knew there would always be a special place in their hearts for paranormal romance. After being unable to find certain storylines and characteristics they wanted to read about in the hundreds of books they consumed, they decided to write their own.
One lives in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and the other in the Kansas City area where they’re a sonographer/stay-at-home mom/wife and pharmacist/mother by day, and together they’re a sexy author by night. They communicate through phone, email, and whole lot of messaging.
You can find them at http://www.rlkenderson.com, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, and Goodreads. Join their Facebook Reader Group. Or you can email them at rlkenderson@rlkenderson.com, or sign up for their newsletter here. They always love hearing from their readers.

Exclusive Excerpt: 
Ten Years Earlier
Intoxicated by the May sun bouncing off the Manhattan buildings, my head feels light, almost giddy. I roll over in the wicker lounge and stretch like a cat to reach for the bottle of rosé in the ice bucket and pour a hefty glass. The skin of my arms and legs tightens in the unseasonal spring warmth. I’ve settled in for the day and staked my place on the rooftop, where I’m surrounded by the expansive yet comforting Manhattan skyline above but am very aware of the city that hums below.
Having been a guest of the city for three months, apprehension is starting to creep in. I take a deep breath and a large mouthful of the crisp chilled wine as I contemplate my return to Australia tomorrow morning. For my short eighteen years on this earth, I’ve figured out that running away from problems never solves anything, I’m well versed in problems, just not so much the figuring out of them, and I’m in no way looking forward to having to deal with the fallout that would have occurred three months ago.
My relationship with Dad has always been a turbulent one. I think he regrets that he never had a son to share his love of boats and the family business with. He was always surrounded by women—a dream for most men, you would think. Before my college term starts in June, and if I was still living under his roof, I had two choices: work for my father or look after my twin twelve-year-old sisters. I had my own thoughts on that and worked damn hard at my part-time job, where I scrimped and saved during the last months I was at school, so I could escape both of those options and instead spend three months working at Reggie’s art gallery here in New York City. That did not go down well in his household. Even though mum organized it with Reggie, she would have had to deal with the wrath of my father. 
Half asleep from a combination of midday sun and wine, I hear Reggie’s voice in the distance.  “Adeline, what are we going to do on your last day … child what are you doing drinking? I know you’re eighteen and of legal age back home in Australia, but you’re not of legal age here in America, not even when you’re under my roof.”
"Reggie, you used to be so much fun. My Mum has told me stories! Obviously not now." I huff.
