February 16, 2018 by Angela

I am so excited about this novella!!!

At RTC in 2016 ‘Nathan and I decided we wanted to write something together, It took almost 2 years and a lot of work, but here we are. Saving the Date is about surviving the worst and coming out on top. There is no easy route after a trauma, but with the help of a fairy godmother, a little sprinkling of magic from Madame Eve and a whole lot of luck, good or bad, Morgan and Zach are in for one unforgettable night, and maybe if they’re lucky, a little bit more.

After a vicious gay bashing, Morgan has spent the last three years working hard to survive and thrive. His latest plan? Using Madame Evangeline’s high-end dating service, 1NightStand, to take the anniversary of the worst night of his life and replace it with a good—and maybe even sexy—memory.

Zach, a police officer with the Hate & Bias Crime Unit, is still coming to terms with his divorce and struggling to move on with his life. Using a matchmaking service is so very not his style, but sometimes a guy has to trust his friends—even if they don’t know everything about him, and he’s not sure they ever will.

Face-to-face, however, it becomes clear that despite an attraction, there’s a problem. Morgan and Zach have already met—three years ago. But with some courage, a couple of pairs of skates, and a leap of faith? Morgan and Zach have a shot at saving more than one day. Together? They might just make a future.

“Sorry, you’re not Morgan, are you?”

“Are you Zach?”

The big guy nodded. “Yeah.” He swallowed, as if the word caught in his throat. “I’m Zach.”

Okay, the important thing here is not to drool on the table.

“Sorry,” he said, fumbling for words of his own. He had to crane his neck to talk to the guy.

Had there been a checkbox for “big, Teutonic warrior heritage”? Because it seemed he’d checked it off. “I, uh. Wow. You are tall.”

The big guy—his date, Morgan corrected himself—cracked a wan smile.

“Sit down.” Morgan gestured to the empty chair. “Please.”

Zach hesitated for another second—Morgan tried to convince himself the blond wasn’t looking for a reasonable escape plan—then pulled out the chair and sat down. No amount of padding could account for the width of the man’s shoulders.

Morgan exhaled. “So. On a scale of one to a billion, how awkward is this?”

Zach seemed to surprise himself with a laugh. “You have no idea. I’m sorry I’m late. Traffic. And, uh …. There’s something….” He frowned. The intensity of his gaze unnerved him.

“Do I have something on my face?” He’d not ordered hot chocolate to avoid whipped cream accidents.

Zach blinked. “Sorry. No. I’m….” He shook his head. “Would you believe you look familiar?”

“Like your dead girlfriend?” Morgan grinned, singing the words.

“Excuse me?” Zach leaned back, frowning.

“Oh. Not a Rent fan, eh?” Morgan held up his hands. “Sorry. When I’m nervous, I become a font of inappropriate humor . I’m told it’s endearing. Y’know, by, like, my misfit friends.” Morgan bit his lip. “Which probably means it’s not endearing, come to think of it.”

Zach stared at him.

“It’s a line from a musical,” Morgan said. “And I’ll stop now.” He clenched his jaw shut before he could say anything else.

Zach took a deep breath. “Were you expecting…? Uh. I mean, did…?” He didn’t meet Morgan’s gaze, and he rubbed his thumb up and down his coffee cup. He had a little scar through his eyebrow, and—

“Wait,” Morgan said. When Zach raised his eyebrows, the familiarity faded, but it had been there. “Maybe I do know you. Do you ever shop at Urbane Myth? It’s a consignment shop in the Village. You’d never forget Phoebe, the owner. She’s a glamazon. I’m less memorable.”

Zach shook his head. “No. I don’t know it.”

Morgan frowned. “Okay. What about you? Where do you work?”

Zach cleared his throat, shifting in his seat. No way could the big guy be comfortable in the little chair. “I’m a cop.”

Oh no. Oh for the love of ….

“A cop.”

Zach nodded, then added, “With the Hate and—”

“Bias Crimes Unit.”

They stared at each other.

“On a scale of one to a billion?” Zach said. “We just hit a billion.”

Release Day!

July 7, 2017 by Angela

Detective Logan Weber feels it’s his duty to use his telepathic abilities to track down those who would commit crimes using technology. Paired with Detective Chris Muller they have the honor of working on, and solving, the toughest cases that the internet has to offer.

But when Captain Evan Grigorva pulls Logan and Chris in on an on-going investigation into a media leak, no one involved in the case suspects that to solve the mystery—someone will have to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Glass shattering on the solarium floor made him whip his head that way. Jaden stood in stunned silence, her hand over her mouth. Red wine and glass littered the floor.

“Jay?” Cameron dropped the potholder and rushed to her, stopping short of her due to the glass. “Jay, honey, what’s wrong?”

Tears streamed down her face, and she waved her arms in front of her face, distraught.

“Jaden talk to me.” She shook her head. “Can you hear me?” Fear filled Cam’s face. She shook her head. “Paul,” Cam shouted.

The older man signed to Jaden who just shook her head.

Nate joined them. “What’s going on?”

“I don’t know.” Logan looked toward Jaden. “I think something is hurting her telepathic abilities.”

Her gaze swung to him, and she started pointing frantically.

Paul reached out to her. “Jay, we don’t understand.”

Jaden balled her hands at her sides and squeezed her eyes shut. “Kkhhssss,” she half whispered, half shouted. All five men stopped and stared at her. A single tear tracked down her face. “Kkkssss.”

“Chris?” His mind jumped forward. “Something’s wrong with Chris?”

She nodded then fainted, hitting the floor with a dull thud.

Review-Jem Cosmetics-Vegan!

August 21, 2016 by Angela

Hi everyone,

 

In an effort to keep my blog a hopping I’ve taken on a few projects including reviewing products! Local company Jem Cosemtics (Visit them HERE) specakizes in all natural, gluten free, vegan products!

Jem gave me four products to try:

Check out my Instagram post here

 

1-Rose(Mary) bath fizzer

2-Ruby Lip cream

3-Yellow sapphire cream highlighter

4-Lavender Bubble bar!2016-08-21 17.20.38

Here I am wearing the Ruby Lip cream and the Yellow sapphire highlighter!

What I dislike about the products:

I had little sample baggies of both products, while I understand that many indy make up production companies send samples this way it always make it harder to use.

What I like about the products:

I LOVE the richness of the colours. They are so bright an vibrant the the lip cream lasts much longer than your average lipstick.

Also the lip cream actually tastes good! I have a drawer full of lipsticks that have been worn once and discarded because they taste horrible. This one has minimal taste and it’s somewhat fruity, but not bitter! Which is a huge bonus.

I like how much thicker the cream highlighter is than others. While I don’t typically use cream based highlighters I like how it coats much more evenly.

Final word:

If you’re local to Ottawa(Support local), if you like vegan products or if you just want a longer lasting lipstick and highlighter these are for you!

Cover Art Reveal!!-Duty, Honor, Love

May 29, 2015 by Angela

DutyHonorLove_large_nologo

 

 

Blurb:

Cameron Olsen believes in three things: the duty to his badge, the honor of being a police officer, and the love he has for his partner.

As a member of Toronto’s elite Special Investigations Unit, he has the privilege of working with Jaden Black, a powerful but naive telepath. As they hunt down a child rapist and killer and the case takes an unexpected turn, Cameron questions his badge, his profession, and who exactly his partner is, and what she’s been hiding from him.

Excerpt:

All of the sudden, Jaden froze. Panic radiated from her. Not words, but pure emotions hit him square in the chest.

No. It couldn’t be.

Jaden choked down the bite of muffin she’d been chewing on. She closed the lid of her laptop, stuffed it in the case, and hurried out of the coffee shop. The pain she projected left him surprised no one else stopped to stare at her.

He grabbed their drinks, leaving the half-eaten muffins on the table. He shoved past a dark-haired woman going into the coffee shop as he ran after Jaden.

He found her curled in a ball in the backseat of her SUV. Tears streaked her face, her heavy eye makeup running into a mess. He climbed in, opening his arms to her, and she buried her face in his chest. He patted the back of her head, smoothing her jet-black bob. His heart broke a tiny bit. He could count on one hand the number of times he’d seen Jaden this upset. Whatever she felt, it was bad and had changed his crass, flippant partner into a scared kid herself.

“What happened?”

She didn’t answer.

“Jay, talk to me. What happened?”

A wave of sorrow hit him. “Emily. I….”

Images flashed into his brain. He could make out the dark figure of a man…and the chain. He could feel the squeeze around his neck and her final thought of how she wanted her mommy.

Home is Where the Heat Is, Book 1


BookCover_BringMeHomeMiya Jackson always believed life had more to offer outside Dead End, Texas. So when circumstances turned her life upside down, she took her chance to break free. A few years—and some brutal doses of reality—later, her little sister’s wedding brings her back to the hometown she left behind.

 

The last place she expects is to end up is in the arms of the man she’s tried and failed to forget. One scalding, passionate night is all it takes to make her rethink her damn good reasons for leaving.

 

Shawn Dalton always hoped this day would come. Hell, he and Miya have a history, and any misunderstandings can be fixed if she’ll only stay in one spot long enough. Now that’s she’s back, he’s determined to make her see that she belongs in Dead End. With him.

 

Her obstinate nature is intact, but he can deal with that. It’s the cold, detached woman she’s become that worries him. Melting that wall—and reminding Miya of her roots—is going to take every hot, sinful moment he can wrangle.

Excerpt:

Shawn hooked another bale of hay and maneuvered it into the barn. “Lot can change in four years.”

“We’re talking about my dad. Not us.” She followed him into the cooler recesses of the barn. A huge row of hay bales lined the farthest side of the barn. “But thank you for helping him.”

“No thanks needed.” Every muscle strained as he lifted the bale into place. “Your folks are good people, and your Ma was worried when he fell after the reception. I was just in the right place at the right time.”

“Wait, what?” Miya watched her father enter the house.

He walked past her to grab another bale. “I guess he tripped. I’d stopped by to congratulate your sister on her wedding and your Ma asked me to look at his ankle. I figured she would have told you.”

“She didn’t.” Miya took a deep breath to ease the guilt clawing at her throat. She was home, and she still didn’t see what was right in front of her. “I should be thanking you.”

He shook his head and adjusted his hat. “Don’t need it. I did what anyone would do. They’re my neighbors.”

He knocked his gloves against his jeans a couple times before swiping at the hay clinging to his body. A few stray pieces clung to his hair and sweat-dampened skin, and she walked over to pluck them away. “Still. It’s not your responsibility and I want you to know I appreciate it.”

He barely moved, at least it seemed that way. Must have been more than she realized since somehow, she found herself backed up against one of the tall support beams bracing the sagging rafters. A sinful smile creased his dust-streaked face. “It’s my pleasure.”
