SYNOPSIS:
Used… Broken… Confused…
It only took one drunken mistake four years ago for Maddie Harrington to learn that when you fully give yourself over to a man, you should never expect anything in return. Since that night, her views on love have become distorted, believing men would only want her for the pleasure her body could bring them. She in turn finds herself hooking up with random guys, but never keeps them around long enough to see if there could possibly be something more.
That is…until Hunter Bryant enters the picture.
When the handsome pre-med student shows up in the right place at the right time, captivating her with his stormy gaze, she immediately pushes him away, thinking he’s no different than any other guy. The deeper Hunter delves into her life, trying to break through her iron-clad walls, the more she begins to question whether she is truly capable of opening her heart up to another man.
Maddie soon finds herself forced to make a difficult decision, one that will forever change both of their lives. Will she shut Hunter out of her life for good or will she finally open up her heart and allow herself the life she never dreamed she deserved?

EXCERPT 1:
“Oomph! Damn, girl…I think…you knocked the wind…out of me…that time.”
Hunter struggled to catch his breath, and I giggled because that was the fourth time in a row that I had brought him down. I straddled Hunter’s lap after I kicked out the back of his leg and used the momentum of his fall and my quick reflexes to subdue him. “Well, maybe if you weren’t such a wimp you wouldn’t be lying here after having your ass kicked by a girl.”
“Hey, my ass is just fine, thank you very much. I’ll be up and ready for another round, just give me a sec.”
I gave Hunter a sultry grin before lowering my body down until my breasts were pressed firmly against his chest. Leaning in even closer, I took his ear lobe between my teeth and playfully nibbled and sucked on the soft flesh. He drew in a deep breath, and I knew I was getting to him. “Hmm, I’m up for another round, but I have something else in mind.”
“Oh yeah, and what’s that?” he choked out.
My mouth brushed against his, and I traced my tongue over his lower lip. He let out a breathy moan, and his lips parted just enough to allow me entrance. Good boy. I loved the way his velvety tongue moved with mine, swirling and tangling together in some kind of sensual, exotic dance that was all our own. His full lips were greedy as they sucked my tongue in his mouth, gently biting me and sending a shockwave of pleasure straight down to my core. Unfortunately in that moment, I let my horny state get the best of me, and Hunter took advantage of my guard being let down. He tucked his arm under my leg and expertly flipped me onto my back, sliding between my legs and grinding his pelvis into mine so that I couldn’t escape. Little did he know, I had no intention of trying to escape. I never wanted him to let me go.
“You think you’re pretty slick, don’t ya?” He licked a moist trail up my neck while his hands had my legs pinned to my chest, giving him better access to rock his hips against me.
“Oh, I’m definitely slick all right.” I gasped as his tongue circled the sensitive spot just below my ear. “Maybe…maybe you should check and see if I’m right.”
Hunter pulled away from me and looked down between our bodies, taking in the position we had found ourselves in yet again. Things had quickly become heated between the two of us over the last few weeks, but just when things were getting good and I thought he might finally give in to his desires, he would quickly pull the plug on the idea. I couldn’t understand why he was being so difficult. I wanted him so badly that my body literally ached for him, and from the bulge pressing against his shorts, I was pretty sure he wanted me, too. Somewhere deep inside, though, he found the self-control to put a stop to our lustful wrestling match and pried his body away from me. I wanted to protest, but he always gave me a stern, knowing look. God, he was so frustrating!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Maureen Mayer was born, raised and currently resides in Buffalo, NY with her loving and supportive family and boyfriend of 9+ years. She’s always had a love for the outdoors, and when the city isn’t buried under snow, she can be found hiking, fishing, camping or lying on the beach. She’s a sucker for off-color humor, but holds a sweet spot for sick and twisted horror films. When she’s not writing, you can find her curled up in bed with her kindle, diving into a steamy romance novel and falling in love with the latest book boyfriend.
EXCERPT 2:
Hunter slipped his fingers into the sides of my panties, and I lifted up, giving him permission to slide them down over my legs. Tucking the purple scrap of lace in his pocket, I bit my lip, giving him a knowing smile. He slowly spread my legs apart and licked his lips, pleased to find my glistening pink folds peeking back at him.
“You have no idea how fucking sexy it is for me to find your pussy slick and ready, knowing that I did that to you.”
I sucked in a deep breath, surprised by his brazen choice of words, and almost cried out in sheer pleasure as his mouth finally lowered over my mound. He descended on me ravenously, kissing, licking, and tasting everywhere but where I craved his soft, velvety tongue the most. I bucked my hips, urging him to take what I knew we both wanted so badly. If the juices dripping down sex weren’t any indication of how much I wanted him, I hadn’t the slightest clue how I would have convinced him otherwise.
“Look at me, Madelyn,” he said gruffly, demanding my undivided attention.
My eyes fluttered open, and I drank in his beautiful masculine form. The muscles in his arms flexed as he slid to the edge of the bed and hooked my legs over his shoulders. He grinned up at me unabashedly, and his tongue flattened out as it brushed over my slit, separating my damp folds.
“Don’t take your eyes off of me. Not for a single second. I want you to watch me love you, every inch of you, with my fingers…my lips…my tongue. If you look away, I’ll stop, and baby…I know you don’t want me to stop.”
I watched his finger slip into my warm center, and he grinned as my sex clenched around him in response to the intrusion. He added another, gradually pumping them in and out of me and coating them with my arousal.
“Oh fuck! Don’t…don’t stop!” I begged.
“Never.” He nibbled gently on my clit, sending a shockwave of pleasure straight down to my toes. “Not until I have this pretty pink pussy coming all over me.”
My hands grabbed hold of the bed sheets while his tongue darted out, flicking over the sensitive, swollen bud at the apex of my thighs. The mixture of pleasure he was delivering with his dexterous fingers and skillful tongue was out of this world. Holy mother of God, it felt so fucking good!
I ran my fingers through his silky chestnut hair, holding him in place, and my hips continued to thrust up to meet his beautiful mouth. He removed his fingers from my hot, wet sheath, and his tongue delved inside, tasting my sweet honey. Just as I felt my orgasm begin to build, Hunter returned his fingers and crooked them against my inner walls, hitting my G-spot dead on. It didn’t take long for me to slip into a euphoric state where I was shouting his name to the heavens and coming all over his fingers and mouth.
Hunter slowly removed his fingers with my sex still pulsating around him, and he slipped them into his mouth, licking and sucking them dry. I just about came all over again watching him enjoy the fruits of his labor, and fuck, did I enjoy giving that to him.
