by Luna Lacour Release Date: January 2014 Summary from Goodreads: Secrets Deception Lies ...Lust. It started with a game - seduce the new teacher. Eighteen-year-old Kaitlyn Laurent is living the American Dream. Born into a wealthy, socialite family with more opulent surroundings and material things than any girl could even fathom, Kaitlyn is the fresh, young face amidst a sea of morally-amiss Manhattan Debutantes. She is educated, poised, and on the outside - entirely virtuous. Her life, in short, is perfect. Or so it would seem. Inside the walls of her Upper East Side mansion, Kaitlyn is struggling. After her parents' divorce and her father's remarriage to a beautiful but otherwise utterly vapid woman, Kaitlyn quickly finds herself living in a realm of self-created fantasy, completely detached and entirely clashing with her new family â particularly, her classmate-turned-stepbrother, Marius. Arrogant and with a penchant for playing games, he is intrigued and infatuated by Kaitlyn's faux-chaste outer facade that she uses to cover an otherwise calloused heart. When the two of them enter into into their final semester at Trinity Prep, and the buzz around campus is that a gorgeous new teacher has set foot in the classroom, Marius makes Kaitlyn a bet: seduce the man who is now her Literature teacher. If she wins, she gets his trust fund. Money that she can use to finally escape a life that she has come to loathe. If Marius wins...he gets her virginity. When an initial spark turns into full-blown obsession, and her affections are inevitably returned â Kaitlyn learns that there are no actions without consequence, and some affairs are simply star-crossed.

***This is a new adult paranormal novel and contains sexual content and graphic language. It is not intended for young adult readers.*** Wild rage coursed through my veins.

Boulder---the one man that made my body quake with just one look. It was madness. There was so much I didn't know about him. For that matter, there was so much that he didn't know about me…the evil darkness lurking inside me, waiting to be unleashed. Could he accept me without judging? That's where most men failed. Accepting the real me…but after years of hardening my heart, and sealing it behind a steel cage, I was ready to give myself to him freely, knowing that he planned to take everything I offered with both hands, until all I thought of...and wanted...was him.

I grabbed the luffa and poured bodywash over it. I lathered it up and began washing over my body. I smiled as I washed over my swollen bump. The reality of having twins suddenly overcame me as I felt butterflies and kicks on the outside for the first time. “Oh my god!” I squealed, smiling. I dropped the luffa and brought my hands over my belly, anxiously waiting to feel them again. “Drake!” I called out, opening the shower door. I wanted him to feel this. I left the door open as I waited for him. I heard the bathroom door open and heard Drake, “What is it? Everything okay?” He peeked in looking worried. “Everything’s great! The babies just kicked!” I pointed down at my belly, all giddy. “I can feel them on the outside!” “Really?” “Yes, come in here!” I smiled. I waited as he stripped down and slowly stepped in. “Here, put your hands right here.” I placed his hands on each side of my belly. As the water sprinkled over us, both babies kicked simultaneously. Drake’s face lit up as the little movements kicked against his hands. The moment is simple incredible—watching Drake’s expression as he felt his babies for the first time. “I can’t believe this,” he gushed. “It makes it so much more real.” I watched as his hands roamed over my belly. I could tell it was making him emotional. This was the absolute best part of pregnancy—watching Drake become a father and finally being able to experience these moments with him. “Isn’t it amazing?” I looked up into his eyes. “It’s incredible.” I wiped under his eyes where I could tell he was crying. He cupped my face and softly kissed my lips until they were nearly bruised. The water continued sprinkling over our heads as we kissed under it, not moving or saying a word—just soaking every second of this moment up.FACEBOOK | TWITTER |WEBSITE|GOODREADS AUTHOR | NOVELISTING Kitchen Affairs - AMAZON US | AMAZON UK | BARNES & NOBLES | iTUNES Kitchen Scandals - AMAZON US |AMAZON UK | BARNES & NOBLES | iTUNES A 3 Book Box Set will be available for purchase as soon as Kitchen Promises Releases! -with exclusive bonus material, author interview, alternate character POV, bonus scenes Also Available SPARK - AMAZON US | AMAZON UK | BARNES & NOBLES | iTUNES BURN - AMAZON US | AMAZON UK | BARNES & NOBLES | iTUNES |
