Total Exposure
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- EXCERPT: “What the fuck are you wearing?” Jordan says, eyeing my leathers. “What every goddamned biker wears,” I snap. He’s wearing a goddamned suit that looks like it costs as much as that car I left back at Rachel’s sister’s house. “You rode your bike down here?” “Long. Story.” I close my eyes to signal that I’m not in the mood to tell said story, and he takes the hint. Because he knows me just as well as I know him. “Why the hell am I here?” He stares at me. Looks me up and down. A whole scenario flashes in my mind in the time it takes him to reach down to pick something up off his desk, where he says, I found her. Or, She found me. Or, You wanna go to dinner with us? Because we’ve got reservations at the Grant. And he means her and him, as in the whole thing about us that made us an us in the first place. But of course, he doesn’t say anything like that. He says, “Here’s the job,” waving a large yellow envelope, handing it to me. “Everything’s in there. Just…” He sighs and pinches the space between his eyes—stupid fucking Jordan gesture—like I’m the one on his last nerve, and not the other way around. “Just do it, OK? And be super fucking discreet. This is all anonymous. You do not show your face. You do not make any sort of contact. It’s strictly surveillance. Got it?” I rip the envelope open and take a peek. Two keys, two bound stacks of hundred-dollar bills, which should be twenty thousand dollars, and some paperwork. “Is it legal?” I ask, taking out the stack of papers. It’s a dossier—female. Mid-twenties. Dark hair and gray eyes—for one Evangeline Rolaine. “Of course it’s legal. Why does everybody always ask me that? I’m a goddamned lawyer, everything I do is legal.” “Yeah.” I laugh, reading the woman’s short bio on the top page. “You’re a goddamned lawyer, all right. Why does this name sound familiar?” Jordan eyes me, waiting to see if I’ll take that first comment any further, and decides I won’t—and he’s right. Because after the morning I’ve had, I can’t think of a single reason I need to rehash the past too. “She was famous once upon a time.” “Child prodigy,” I say slowly, reading her bio at the same time. “Yeah, I remember this chick. She was all over the TV when she was a kid.” “Right. And then she wasn’t. It’s your job to watch her. That’s it. Just watch her. You got it?” “Watch her do what?” I ask, flipping through the pictures. “Just… everything. Nothing specific.” “Why am I watching her? Someone after her or something?” “You don’t need to know why. You just need to take that money, buy the fucking equipment, go to that address, put up the fucking cameras, and then when she gets there, you watch her.” “So I’m spying on her and she doesn’t know it?” My laugh is loud. Because… “That’s some creepy shit, dude.” Jordan sucks in a breath of air. It’s cautious, that inhale. It’s long too. And it’s filled with all the things that we left unsaid between us after college. “She knows,” Jordan finally says. Carefully. Like he’s picking his way through a minefield. “Just… just fucking do what I tell you. You’ve got a week to get set up and then a few weeks of surveillance, tops. Then I’ll pay you.” “I don’t need the money, asshole. You know that’s not why I’m here.” I hear the unasked question. He hears it too. Then why are you here? But he knows why.

Five
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- EXCERPT: “You want a kiss?” “Mmmhmm,” I say, closing my eyes as I picture it. God, I’ve dreamed of this moment for ages. “I really need one, Five.” His mouth touches my earlobe. Lips caress the soft skin of my neck. “Like this?” he asks. “Yes,” I practically moan. “Just… like… that.” “Do you want more, Princess?” he asks, his voice low now. Growly. Filled with so much promise. “More, please,” I say, in my sweetest princess voice. “Then promise me, baby. Just say those two words. ‘I promise.’ And as soon as you do that, I’ll give you everything you want. OK?” “Five,” I moan. “Just—” His hands come up suddenly. He cups my face, stares into my eyes with the most sincere expression I’ve ever seen on him. And underneath that sincerity, I see… fear. “Promise me.” “Five,” I say, unable to stop staring back. This is everything. Everything I’ve always dreamed of. Five pressing me up against a wall. Me, the only thing on his mind. Except I’m not the only thing on his mind, am I? No. Those creeps from the past are back. That’s why he’s here. And even though I’d normally not give in so easy, I know this is not a game. So I say, “I promise. Now stop talking, you stupid genius, and kiss me already.” He smiles. Leans in. I close my eyes, ready for it. Finally gonna get what I want. But then he moves his mouth to my ear and nibbles on my lobe. “Good girl,” he coos. “But I’m not sure I believe you, Princess. I can feel those wheels turning inside your head. They’re grinding hard.” He presses his hard cock against my hip when he says that last part. “So I’m gonna hold off on that kiss until I get back tonight. And if you’ve been good, and if you’ve held up your end of the—” “What?” I say, pushing him back. “You will do no such thing, Five Aston! I want a fucking kiss and I want one right now! I’ve waited six years for this, and denying me is practically emotional abuse. Now stop fucking around and kiss me, goddammit!” “Who’s the boss of you, Rory?” I huff out some air. “Me.” He smiles. It’s a big, genuine, I’m-gonna-teach-you-who’s-boss smile. “Wrong answer.”

I look her body up and down as I circle her.
Mine?
I smile a devious, deviant, Iâm gonna make you sorry you ever started playing this game with me smile.
And then I take her hand.
I lead her to the elevator.
We go up to my apartment.
I tie her wrists together with rope.
Raise her arms above her head.
And chain her to the ceiling.
Itâs my turn.
âWhy are you so nervous?â I ask Jordan. Weâre sitting in Smithâs bar. The table is elaborately set for a nice dinner, our glasses are full of expensive alcohol, and our cocks are happy. Why does he look like shit is about to hit the fan? âShe had a good time,â I say, sipping my brandy.
âYeah,â Jordan says. His eyes are glued to the elevator doors, just waiting for her to come downstairs. âBut it was sneaky, ya know?â
âWhat was sneaky about it?â
He shoots me a look that says, Come on.
âShe gave in, Jordan. We didnât make her do anything.â
âRight.â He sighs. âBut youâre what, just pretending we didnât have that conversation this morning? You know, the one where you said, âIâm gonna fuck with her head so bad, sheâll spin like The Exorcist?ââ
âIt was a joke.â I laugh. âAll we did was make her feel good tonight. She loved every fucking minute of it. Even when I choked her with my cock. She couldnât get enough.â
âThatâs because she was drunk on your dick at the time, Bric. But that feeling is gonna wear off and sheâs gonna run the entire night through her head, and thenââ
âThen sheâs gonna realize we know what the fuck weâre doing. Thatâs all.â
âNo,â he says. âSheâs gonna realize youâre just playing with her emotions. Like you do with every fucking woman youâve ever been with.â
âSo?â
âSo then sheâs gonna up her game, Bric. And this is gonna turn into a mind-fuck shit-fest. I like her,â he says. âMaybe more than like her, OK? I donât want her thinking Iâm like you.â
âYou are like me,â I say, getting pissed off. Why the fuck is he sharing her with me if he likes her so much?
But I donât ask that question.
Because I like her too. Just not in the same way.
âSee,â Jordan says.
âSee what?â I ask
âThat fucking evil grin youâve got on your face. I know you well enough, Bricman. Well enough to see the Machiavellian wheels turning inside your head. Do not play with her emotions.â
âWhy?â I ask, my temper rising. âIs she some kind of fragile flower?â
But then I realize this intrigues me.
âStop it,â Jordan says. âSheâs not a puzzle, OK?â
âThen why are we even playing?â
He huffs out some air. Runs his fingers through his still-wet hair. âBecause sheâs notâ¦â He trails off.
âSheâs not what?â I ask. What the fuck is wrong with him tonight?
âSheâs not my type.â
âOK,â I say, not really understanding.
âI mean Iâm not really her type.â
âHmm,â I say. âDo you love her?â
âNo,â he says. âDefinitely not. But I like her. I could see myself playing with her for a long time. And if you fuck it up, that wonât happen. You, of all people, understand how fucking hard it is to get a girl you can trust in this game. One who just gets you, ya know? We get each other, Bric. I realize itâs only been a few weeks, but we know each other. I just like her. And we have an understanding. I get to boss her around and be a dick, but she knows Iâm not a dick, right? She knows Iâll show up the next day and treat her nice and give her a gift. She knows Iâm just playing. Weâre playing.â
âItâs a game. Same as this,â I say.
âDude, come on,â he says, almost fully exasperated now. âYou are a sick motherfucker, OK? You know this, right?â
âThen why am I even here?â
âBecause weâre good together, ya know. Not great. Yet,â he adds. âNot what you had with Smith and Quin, obviously. But we understand each other. We work well as a team. She liked that up there.â
âSo whatâs the problem?â
âThe problem is youâre in a weird place right now and Iâm afraid youâre gonna take it out on Nadia. Donât do that, OK?â He stares at me. âJust beâ¦â
âJust be your back-up?â I ask, huffing out a laugh.
He shrugs. But thatâs it. Thatâs what he wants. Donât overpower him. Donât take her away from him. Donât make her rethink her strategy. Just help him keep her.
It takes me a minute to decide if Iâm angry or not.
I decide Iâm not. I donât give two fucks about this Nadia girl. And my goal really was to break her. So I shrug. âFine,â I say. âYou want a wingman. Fine. Iâll help you out, Jordan. But when I need a favor, Iâll expect the same in return.â

Michelle's Review
His Turn by J.A. Huss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars Finally we get Bric's book and oh what a good one it is! I knew he was going to blow us away, gosh I love this manipulative man. A new game begins but this time he's met his match. Nadia doesn't have a submissive bone in her body but hey who doesn't love a game filled with outrageous sex with two very hot guys. One sweet as can be, the other a total jerk. These characters will have you crying for them and screaming at them all in one breath. The writing is phenomenal and the author has given us another five star read in this wonderful series. I'm obsessed with these people and their stories, so much I'll definitely read them again. His Turn
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo Get the complete series on Amazon! -- EXCERPT: I spend the whole day stewing about Nadia and her covert attempt to take back control. I have gone through every emotion. Anger came first. Bitch. Why is she even playing if it’s just gonna be a mind fuck? But then I got to thinking about that. The mind fuck part. Because I’m kind of an excellent mind-fucker. I mean, shit. I went to school to be a psychiatrist. I got pretty far into it before I dropped out. I have a medical degree. I run a sex club. I’ve been playing this goddamned game for more than a decade. And even though I’ve been on a losing streak for a while now, I’m damn good. I’m due for a win. I will win this. The key to a proper mind fuck is the element of surprise. The target thinks they’re ready for the unexpected, until they’re not. Nadia was probably pretty pleased with herself last night. She probably ended that call with a huge smile on her face. One hundred percent satisfied. And she’s expecting retaliation. She had to know I’d tell Jordan about it. She had to know I’d find out she never called him. She had to know I’d be pissed off today. When I realized that… well, that’s when I calmed down and started piecing together a psychological profile on her. Nadia Wolfe. Twenty-something. Beautiful. Talented. Ballerina. Control freak. New in town. Rising star. Player of games. She’s so stupidly simple to figure out, I almost feel sad that she’s not more of a challenge. I decide the ballerina aspect is my best first move. They are a different sort of person, so most of what I just described probably stems from her choice of occupation. She likes control because she’s forced herself to be in control of things to get where she is in her art. Think about it. Ballerinas, right? They get up early to go to class or rehearsal or whatever the fuck it is they do first thing in the morning. They have to control themselves in very specific ways. They have to control their muscles, their emotions, their pain threshold, and the pleasure center in their brains. They have to psych themselves up to fit their bodies into the mold of dancer. They have to conform in many ways. Deviation from the standard is unacceptable, even though they are expected to excel and stand out. They must look a certain way, behave a certain way, and submit to the whims of those who control their future. Success, therefore, is not defined by their own perceptions of themselves, but by the perceptions of others. And those perceptions are directly related to athletic skill, beauty, and youth. It’s a trifecta of psychological disorders waiting to happen. I smile. I’ve got you, Nadia Wolfe. I have your ticket, darling. I know what drives you now.

Genre: Dark Erotic Suspense
Release Date: April 12, 2017
Blurb
I lived in the dark for three years. My whole world revolved around the whims and happiness of three men. It was just a trip into the forbidden. A way out of a bad situation and forward into nothingness.
Quin, with his easy smile and charming good looks. He was always there for me... Until he wasnât.
Smith, and his dispassionate attention. He was never there for me and he never regretted it.
Bric, the one who listened, but only to himself. Self-absorbed, self-obsessed, and self-serving. He was never the one I wanted.
And now he might be the only one I have left.
It was good while it lasted, I guess. But it couldâve been so much more. It couldâve been so much better.
And thatâs why Iâm turning back.
âSo then what happened?â Bric asks.
Weâre sitting at our booth in the White Room. Before I left, Iâd sit in the middle of the bench, Quin would sit across from me in a chair, and Bric would sit to my left.
Bric is still to my left, Quin isnât here yetâif heâs coming at allâand Adley is in her baby seat on my right.
Everything is familiarâbut off.
âThen he went to bed.â
âWhatâd you do?â
âI sat there on the couch for a while trying to figure out what happened.â
âWhat did you come up with?â Bric is looking very intently at me. Like everything Iâm saying is critically important.
âHe hate-fucked me, thatâs what I came up with, Bric!â
âRochelle,â Bric says, throwing me one of those Donât overreact looks.
âIâm serious. Thereâs no other explanation for it. He hate-fucked me. Revenge fuck. Whatever you want to call it. Thatâs what happened last night.â I sigh and try not to feel depressed and sad. âAnd then this morning I got out of bed to go check on Adley when she woke up, and when I came back, he was gone.â
âGone?â Bric asks. âWhereâd he go?â
âJust left,â I say. âI texted him. Asked if heâd be here for breakfast. And he never texted back.â
âHeâs just mad,â Bric says.
âI know.â I huff. âHe told me that last night too. He spelled it out very clearly. He was worried about me. Sad about my leaving. But then when I came backââ
âNow heâs just angry.â
âRight.â
âItâs a pretty typical reaction,â Bric says.
âI realize that. Which is why Iâm not going to make a big deal about this. But I donât know if this is going to work, Bric. He might not want me. He might just want to hurt me. Exactly the way I hurt him.â
âNo,â Bric says, like Iâm being ridiculous.
âIâm not being ridiculous,â I say. âMaybe heâs not out to hurt me. But heâs doing something, Bric. Heâs playing a game, but Iâm pretty sure weâre not all playing the same game.â
âHeâs mad, Rochelle. You have to expect that. Heâs gonna come around.â
âWhat does that mean? Come around? Do you really think heâs gonna fall back in love with me the way he was? Because I donât. I think heâs here for us. Me, you, and him together. And thatâs all.â
Bric rubs his hand across his scratchy jaw as he thinks this over, so I check on Adley. She fell asleep in the car on the way over here and hasnât woken up yet. Bric is still thinking.
âI donât want an us, Bric.â
He looks me in the eye and says. âI do. But I get it. And Iâm fine with you and Quin getting your little happy ending. But Iâm telling you, Rochelle, heâs just trying to protect himself right now and the best way to let him work that out and ensure you two get back together is to have an us.â
âHe said he doesnât trust me.â
âHe has a good reason,â Bric counters.
âI know that,â I say, starting to get angry. âI understand that. But the whole point of us doing this⦠game⦠or whatever it is, was so that you can help me figure this out. I want him, Bric. Youâre supposed to help me.â
But as soon as the words come out of my mouth I realize how stupid that is. I trust no one and I have very good reasons for that. Iâve learned over the course of my life that people are selfish. People are out for themselves. People are liars. I have a lot of experience in being lied to.
Elias Bricman definitely fits all those assumptions I have about people. And then some.

And maybe everyone wants what they can’t have, but I should’ve thought it over before I accepted the key and unlocked the door to their forbidden world. Number One is mostly silent. He watches me with them very carefully. His gaze never wanders. His interest never wanes. Number Two is mostly gentle. But it’s the other side of him I like best. The wild side. Number Three is mostly reserved. He refuses to cross the line. Even when I beg. It was carnal, it was sensual, and it was erotic. That’s it. That’s all it was supposed to be. A trip into the dark. A peek into the forbidden. I just didn’t expect to like them. Purchase Links AMAZON US / UK / CA / AU B&N / KOBO / iBOOKS Trailer Excerpt

“You want it hard tonight?” I ask. “You want me to fuck you hard?” I grab her hair and pull, making her upper body lift up off the mattress. My other hand is digging into the flesh just below her hip. I scoot back and reach under her thighs, drawing them up so she’s on her knees, and press her face into the pillow as I pound her from behind. “Yeah,” I say, half speaking, half moaning. “You like it like this, don’t you? You let Bric fuck you like this all the time, don’t you?” I reach around and smack her tit, which makes her yelp. A high-pitched yelp I’m not familiar with. For a second I think I’ve hurt her, and I slow down. But she backs up into me, covering my dick again. Burying it deep inside her. Everything is already so wet. She feels so goddamned good tonight. “You fucking whore,” I say, letting go of her hair so she falls face-first back into the pillow. “You let Bric fuck you like this, Rochelle? You like the way he slaps you around? Hmm?” Hell, I like the way Bric slaps her around. And as soon as that thought enters my head I laugh. “Maybe we’ll do it rough next weekend. You want that? You want us to fuck you hard? Stick our dicks inside you at the same time?” Another unfamiliar moan. “I’ll take that as a yes,” I say, still kinda laughing. But then I let it go and just… fuck her. I grab onto her ass and do it hard. Pounding her with so much force, her head is inching closer and closer to the headboard of the bed. I don’t stop when it finally makes it there. I just keep thrusting until the pounding is compounded by the headboard crashing into the wall. She’s moaning. Close. So fucking close to coming. I reach underneath her body and strum her clit to the rhythm we’re making. She goes wild. Wild like I’ve never seen her before. Writhing, and moaning, and gasping for air. I draw back, grab her hips, and flip her over, one hand pushing her head aside so her cheek is pressing into the pillow, the other one still playing with her pussy. I watch my dick as it slips in and out, just barely able to make it out in the dim, filtered light from outside. I grab her hair, so fucking ready to come, and yank her head so she has to look at me. Her eyes are closed, but I don’t care. I press my hand over her mouth and close my eyes too. And then I spill inside her. Throwing my head back to let out a groan of relief. Her legs are trembling from the exertion. Little spasms as she gasps for breath. I laugh a little as I roll off to the side and wrap my arms around her. “What’s wrong, baby? Too much for you tonight?” No answer. I bury my head into her neck and smell her hair. “Did you get a new shampoo?” I ask. “You smell so different.” No answer. “You want a date with Bric on Sunday? Hmm? We can skip Smith if you want.” I kiss her neck and then pull back and open my eyes. Trying to get an idea if she’s up for this kind of fun. It’s been a while so I-- I blink my eyes. Three times, fast. “Rochelle—” “I’m sorry,” she says. “I’m sorry—” But I’m up and out of the bed, fisting her hair and pulling her with me. She drops to the floor, whimpering. “I’m sorry,” she says again. “Who the fuck are you?” I ask. “Where the fuck is Rochelle?”
“I’m sorry,” she says. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

I lived in the dark for three years. My whole world revolved around the whims and happiness of three men. It was just a trip into the forbidden. A way out of a bad situation and forward into nothingness. Quin, with his easy smile and charming good looks. He was always there for me... Until he wasn’t. Smith, and his dispassionate attention. He was never there for me and he never regretted it. Bric, the one who listened, but only to himself. Self-absorbed, self-obsessed, and self-serving. He was never the one I wanted. And now he might be the only one I have left. It was good while it lasted, I guess. But it could’ve been so much more. It could’ve been so much better. And that’s why I’m turning back.

Goodreads / Amazon / Barne & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- EXCERPT: I stand in front of the tub, each of the three cameras already recording, and shrug the details off with my robe. Once the silky fabric slides over my shoulders it slips down my body in a silent whoosh of air, and makes a soft green puddle of fabric at my feet. I say nothing. I will say nothing. Let him guess what I’m thinking. It’s only fair. I’ve been guessing what he’s been thinking since we parted ways four years ago. I pose for the camera. Something I do naturally now. Taking a moment to imagine myself staring into his eyes. I forgo the pouty lips and play air-kisses and just stand there. Let him appreciate me. Let him think about all the days and nights we’ve been apart. Let him wonder what I’ve been doing. I start fondling my breasts, pinching my nipples to make them hard and bunched. My nails are just long enough, and the steam inside the bathroom just hot enough, to leave red marks on my fair skin. He likes that. He likes the animalistic nature of sex. I find myself unconsciously biting my lip and stop. I am not a weak little girl. I am not trying to seduce him, or entice him, or make him want me. He already wants me. None of that play-acting stuff matters with Oliver Shrike. Everything with him needs to be genuine. One hand continues to lightly scrape the skin of my breasts, while the other tracks down my ribcage with just enough pressure to make marks. It slips easily between my legs and only then do I let myself become aroused. My lips part as my mouth opens. My heart beats faster. My skin prickles up, even though the heat in this room leaves no room for chills. I will not moan for him. Not on camera. If he wants more he needs to come to me. But I do enjoy it. When the tips of my fingers find the sweet spot I smile and rub a little faster. Do you like that? I want to ask him. Do you enjoy looking at me? Watching me? Do you want more? Do you want to feel me again? My body, my breath on the tip of your cock? I come. Silently. He might not even notice, that’s how quiet I am. And then I open my eyes and smile as I step into the tub. Sink down into the frothy white bubbles and let the hot water burn me. Turn my pale skin red, make my cheeks flush, relax my muscles, and ease my worries.
