Blurb<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Craft beer and the sexy men who brew it.<\/p>\n

A beautiful neighbor. A complete stranger. That\u2019s all she was when I moved in next door.<\/p>\n

Adelyn Maxwell is my neighbor but she\u2019s no girl next door. The more I come to know her, the more I discover she\u2019s a good girl with a lovely dark side. And maybe I don\u2019t want her to stay on her side of the fence.<\/p>\n

I want to disturb the rhythm of her pulse.<\/p>\n

I want to see the way her hair spills on the bed when she lies beneath me.<\/p>\n

I want her to teach me the dirty pretty things she desires behind closed doors. And she does.<\/p>\n

But mostly I want to leave my mark on the most intimate, untouched part of her body. Her heart.<\/p>\n

A seemingly insignificant intersection of our lives neither of us recalls suddenly becomes a pivotal moment in our future. We aren\u2019t strangers at all. And our paths aren\u2019t crossing for the first time.<\/p>\n

These twists and turns of fate will become one of two things: a wrecking ball to tear us apart or the connection to bond us together forever.<\/p>\n

Excerpt<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Oliver Thorn\u2019s POV<\/h4>\n

\u201cControl. And how I feel when you exert your strength over me. Domination. Power. Control. All of it turns me the fuck on.\u201d
\n\u201cWhy?\u201d
\n\u201cThere\u2019s something primal and exhilarating about a man who takes complete control in the bedroom. That\u2019s what it\u2019s about for me. I want to feel desire. Real desire. I need a man who will grab me and make me feel small and vulnerable and feminine. Without hurting me.\u201d
\nShe releases my hands and sits upright, still mounted on top of me. \u201cOutside of the bedroom, it\u2019s all a level playing field. I\u2019m an independent woman, and I control everything in my life. But in the bedroom . . . I want to be controlled by a strong man.\u201d
\n\u201cAnd choked.\u201d
\n\u201cI need an alpha male. I crave the dominance and show of strength he has over me.\u201d She reaches for my hands and intertwines our fingers. \u201cYou\u2019re the first man I\u2019ve trusted in years. I couldn\u2019t have let anyone else put their hands on me that way. It had to be you.\u201d She releases my hands and leans over me, propping on her lower arms, but her hands grasp my face. She presses a soft, closemouthed kiss on my lips. \u201cOnly you, Thorn.\u201d
\nShe wants an alpha. A controller. A choker.
\nGod help me, I like what I just did to her. I want to do it again. And that\u2019s totally fucked up.
\nI spent my childhood being controlled, dominated, choked. What kind of person does it make me if I do those things to her? Even if it\u2019s what she wants?
\n\u201cI can\u2019t, Max.\u201d
\nShe presses her forehead to mine. \u201cYou can. You did.\u201d I did. And it was wrong.
\nSo. Fucking. Wrong.
\n\u201cBut not again.\u201d
\n\u201cI saw your face. You liked my submission. You liked putting your hand on me like that. You weren\u2019t repulsed. And in those few moments when you held my life in your hands, I belonged to you. I knew it. You knew it. And you liked it.\u201d<\/p>\n

About the author<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"georgia-cates\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Georgia resides in rural Mississippi with her wonderful husband, Jeff, and their two beautiful daughters. She spent fourteen years as a labor and delivery nurse before she decided to pursue her dream of becoming an author and hasn\u2019t looked back yet.<\/p>\n

When she\u2019s not writing, she\u2019s thinking about writing. When she\u2019s being domestic, she\u2019s listening to her iPod and visualizing scenes for her current work in progress. Every story coming from her always has a song to inspire it.<\/p>\n
