Claimed by the
Stranger by R. Brennan
My entire life is
one bold-faced, fucking lie. Son of Victor Laurent and sole heir to the entire
Laurent fortune built up from a few great grandfathers back in the Civil War
times, I’ve been raised—groomed—to be the perfect Southern gentleman. Proper
and full of self-control, a man who can keep hold on the vices that help me
live my daily life of pure, fucking drudgery.
I know what it
means to be controlling not just of myself but of the woman who will one day
kneel at my feet. The one who belongs to me, however, is promised to
another—and claiming what is mine could cost me everything.

Libertine by trade, no flesh is barred from his roaming hands, no matter what
lay betwixt their legs. Except when news of his lustful ways reaches his
God-fearing parents, they strip him of title and cast him out. Alixandre’s now
adrift and with an uncertain future, but an interesting proposition by Comte
Phelipe Richelien promises to replace everything he lost with a new world of
decadent pleasure like no other. But can Alixandre submit to his new Master?
And will his guarded heart be laid bare by one spoken word—Alabaster.

Kastil Eavenshade is multi-published author pandering her romantic
shenanigans. When not catering to the whims of three rescued kitties, she’s
dreaming up her next heart-beating tale. No period in history–past, present, or
future–is safe from the clutches of her muse.
Her passions beyond writing are drawing, cooking, and watching
Pittsburgh Penguins hockey. She credits her parents for her free spirit as
they’ve always supported her in every aspect of her life. Without them, she
wouldn’t be here. She finds pleasure in writing anything from fantasy to
romance-which sometimes parallel each other.

Alex
Camilla Maria Campanelli. I’d caught glimpses of the woman when she popped into my Manhattan
gallery—there to collect a commission for the paintings we sold for her. So
let’s just say I never expected the wet-dream version of Camilla to sashay into
Indigo House, an exclusive member’s
only club that catered to very specific clientele with extremely particular
desires.
Camilla
The night I stepped out on my balcony, I
hadn’t intended to be a voyeur though I ended up being one. And what shocked me
even more than my uncharacteristic behavior? I’d actually been aroused watching
two strangers get their kink on. But I wasn’t into D/s. I’d never even read
those Fifty Shades books all my
sisters went on and on about.
So why was I affected?
I needed some real, solid answers. And
there was only one way to do that.

heart.

Release from power.

I have entered that age when looking at beautiful male models in their
prime probably makes me a cougar, ahem.
Almost all my heroines are short: that’s because I look at the world
from hobbit level. Being so small I am three times more concentrated (read:
obsessive) than anybody I know. I am exhaustingly creative in writing, arts,
crafts... Sometimes my brain gets friction burns from hurtling at such speed
from one universe to the next.
I love animals, plants, and occasionally even people.
Like Highlander I come from a lot of different places. I was born in
Italy but lived here and there and consider myself simply and deeply European.
I love Europe passionately, its antiquity, its diversity, its quirkiness. All
my books are set in Europe, or alternate versions of it.
I have been writing since I can remember.

Author Bio:
Raven lives in Scotland, along with her husband and their two
cats—their children having flown the nest—surrounded by beautiful scenery,
which inspires a lot of the settings in her books.
She is used to sharing her life with the occasional deer, red
squirrel, and lost tourist, to say nothing of the scourge of Scotland—the
midge.
Her very understanding, and long-suffering DH, is used to his
questions unanswered, the dust bunnies greeting him as he walks through the
door, and rescuing burned offerings from the Aga. (And passing her a glass of
wine as she types furiously.)

Charlie has never been in love because he’s never believed in happily
ever after. He prides himself on being a good friend and a good Dom, and that’s
always been enough for him, except lately nothing feels right. He doesn’t know
if he’s having a mid-life crisis or what, but his best friend suddenly looks
hot as hell, and nothing about that is normal.
Ryan’s straight friend Charlie has always had his back: when he came
out, when he got married, and when his husband died. He’d do anything for the
guy he’s been secretly in love with forever. So when Charlie suddenly proposes
a spanking scene under the guise of “relaxing” him, he almost runs the opposite
direction. Except, what if this is his one chance to finally show Charlie what
real love feels like?
