Rule #1: Never discuss our arrangement with anyone.

When you make a deal with a stripper, there are bound to be some rules. I get that. But this first one made me chuckle. It was like Fight Club (you know, “the first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club.”) Except in our version, there was sex…and a few other things that I’d never heard of.

Truthfully, I never intended to befriend a stripper named Tash, or agree to her crazy plan. But when you’re batting zero-for-a-million and there’s no relief in sight, the situation becomes pretty damn desperate. See, I was in a terrible dry spell—no, scratch that. I was in a freaking drought.

Tash said she could help…if I gave her seven days and followed her rules.

So what exactly did she have in mind, you ask? Read on, I’m getting to that part…


*The Rules, a stand-alone prequel, can be read as an introduction to the bestselling Fun and Games Series, or to learn more about this alpha hero at any time during the series*

Cover Reveal: Dirty Reckless Mistake by Clare James

Title: Dirty Reckless Mistake

Author: Clare James

Genre: Sports Romance (Hockey)
Cover Design: Pink Ink Designs

Release Date: November 6, 2017

Blurb

An NHL hotshot. A serious student. An unexpected offseason that brings the two together in the most combustible ways… 

Nate

Yeah, I’ve never been good at following the rules off the ice:

Missing curfew? Check.

Playing with the puck bunnies? Check.

Letting my extracurriculars interfere with my game? Check.  

Messing around with my manager’s daughter? Check, er, double check.

Now, it’s offseason and I’m not sure I even have a job next year. Plus, there was that stupid investment I made on a dare—a business that went belly up—that’s left me counting my pennies. But at least I still have my manager, Max, on my side. Yeah, thankfully he never found out about the fling I had with his oldest daughter, because I don’t know what I’d do without him. He’s more than a business partner, he’s family.  And he promises to clean up my mess as long as I get out of dodge for a few months to get my head together.

Lilly

Yes, I may be brilliant with the books, but I’m an idiot in life.

After finishing my master’s degree, I didn’t get the dream job everyone thought I would. I didn’t even get my backup position, or my backup backup. So, too embarrassed to go home, I decide to take a few months off and go into hiding instead.

That’s when I meet Him.

But I swear, I had no idea he was a hockey star. Or my dad’s client. Or my sister’s ex. Oh, this is so, so bad.

HATE ME, TAKE ME

They say there’s a thin line between love and hate, and in the case of these couples, we’re talking razor thin!

In this hate-to-love duet by Clare James, two couples cross that dangerous line…more than once! 

Hate Me

Falling for your sister’s nemesis? Only a low-life dog would do something like that, right? And that ain’t me, not anymore. I’m trying to be a stand-up guy—finally making smart decisions, helping my little sister, and getting my shit together. For once, things are finally going my way.

Until Jenna shows up. As soon as I meet her, I know she’s the enemy. I’ve heard enough to understand that she’s off limits. Banned. Forbidden. But when she moves in next door, it’s impossible to stay away, and I soon discover she’s not as bad as everyone says. Of course, she’s difficult, selfish, and a royal pain in the ass, but she’s also gorgeous, smart, kind, and…well, let’s just say I am that low-life dog. Traitor. Turncoat. And the world’s shittiest brother. Woof. Woof.

Take Me

It's an offer I can't refuse...

He was my best friend. He is my current enemy. Yet he wants me and I want him. And since we’re both stuck in our hometown unattached, we agree to a truce.

Two hours, once a week, no strings attached. But what sounds like the perfect arrangement, turns into so much more…yet not nearly enough. 

This hate-to-love duet includes: Never Be Tamed, Two-Hour Truce, and exclusive bonus content.

Excerpt

“Jenna,” he said with more force this time. “Look at me.”

I flashed my gaze up to him and then back down, quickly.

It wasn’t enough for him. He placed a finger under my chin and tipped my face up to his so I had no choice this time. His eyes were soft, but intense. Not quite black as they were before, but they were dilated, and his lids were slightly hooded. It made me wonder what my eyes looked like to him in the moment. Were they giving me away? Could he see that he had broken through the wall that not many people had? Did he know how desperately I wanted him to stay? Could he tell I needed his touch?

Did he know he was dealing with a completely sex-starved, socially awkward, recluse?

The corner of his mouth quirked up just then, and I thought yes, maybe he did know.

“Thank you for dinner,” he said as my eyes tore away from his and focused on his mouth. He licked his bottom lip, and the flickers flashed in my stomach again. Sparks working toward a flame.

I nodded, unable to find my words when he was invading my space.

His lips moved closer to my face, and I swallowed, bracing myself.

My throat went try. My hands shook. And that flame took hold inside me. I didn’t want to wait for him. I wanted to kill the daylight between our bodies while my hands tangled in his hair. I wanted to know what he tasted like. There was so much I wanted, but in the end, I couldn’t do any of those things.

And instead of his lips descending on mine, they veered left, and landed on the shell of my ear.

“I know you thought I was afraid to be alone with you, but just so you know,” he said with a ragged breath that I felt from the top of my scalp all the way down to my toes, “I’m not afraid of anything.”

He pressed his lips on my cheek, and then he was gone.

Sale Blitz and Giveaway ($25 Amazon gift card): Wednesday by Clare James

Title: Wednesday

Series: Love in Days #1 

Author: Clare James

Genre: Contemporary Romance

 Release Date: September 27, 2014

Blurb

A #1 Amazon category bestseller!
Real. Raw. Insanely Sexy. WEDNESDAY is a stand-alone story.
*Book #2, Alex's story, coming this summer!

Her. Him. Alone. Every Wednesday ...

Twenty-one-year-old Aria Prince has just moved back to her hometown to start over after a painful divorce. She's always prided herself on being an early bloomer, but had no idea she'd be married, divorced, and the mother of a toddler by twenty-one.

Unlike her friends who were at school, going to parties, and sowing their oats--wild and otherwise--Aria's days were measured in the number of orders she took at her family's restaurant, the chapters she read in her nursing text, the amount of Cheerios she cleaned up off the floor, and the wet kisses she received from her son.

And that was just fine with her.

But when she began running into her former best friend Tristan Green - who was home taking care of his sick father - she remembered what it felt like to be just Aria. Not a single mother, or sleep-deprived nursing student, or royal screw up. And though she didn't even have time to shave her legs, let alone consider a sex life, Tristan makes an offer she'd be a fool to refuse.

Each day they'd give themselves to those who needed them. Every day - except Wednesday.

Wednesday, they'd take what they needed from each other.

*Wednesday is a gritty and intoxicating romance from Clare James that will keep you turning the pages no matter what day of week you choose to indulge! *

Book Blitz and Giveaway: Wednesday by Clare James

Wednesday
Clare James
(Love in Days, #1)
Publication date: September 27th 2014
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

Her. Him. Alone. Beach house. Every Wednesday. Clothing optional.
Twenty-one-year-old Aria Prince has just moved back to her hometown to start over after a painful divorce. She’s always prided herself on being an early bloomer, but had no idea she’d be married, divorced, and the mother of a toddler by twenty-one. Surely menopause was just a few months away, especially considering the hot flashes and night sweats. Or was that just exhaustion?
Unlike her friends who were at school, going to parties, and sowing their oats—wild and otherwise—Aria’s days were measured in the number of orders she took at her family’s restaurant, the chapters she read in her nursing text, the amount of Cheerios she cleaned up off the floor, and the wet kisses she received from her son.
And that was just fine with her.
But when she began running into her former best-friend Tristan Green—who was home taking care of his sick father—at every turn, she remembered what it felt like to be just Aria. Not a single mother, or sleep-deprived nursing student, or royal screw up. And though she didn’t even have time to shave her legs, let alone consider a sex life, Tristan makes an offer she’d be a fool to refuse.
Each day they’d give themselves to those who needed them. Every day – except Wednesday. Wednesday they’d take what they needed from each other.
Did she forget to mention Tristan was gorgeous?
Or that they hated each other?
Well, you know what they say about the line between love and hate … it’s a skinny-ass bitch. The question was, could they keep their feelings out of it?

Sneak a peek at Wednesday:

Aria:
That is his request.

One day each week. Four days each month. Twelve days over the summer… if the arrangement would even last that long.
He looks at me and the disdain in his eyes has disappeared. Now they warm for me. No. Burn. They burn for me and through me.
Could I do this?
Should I?
“Well, Aria,” he purrs in a voice I don’t recognize. “What do you think? Forget it all and become mine for one day?”
My brain tries to make sense of the sinful offer, but my body is already in motion – making my way to the man I once knew.
His eyes delight with each step I take toward him. His stance somehow opens for me. When I stop, however, to meet his scorching gaze, a wave of confusion washes over his face and gives him away. He’s not as confident as he lets on.
But when I answer his offer with my lips, it’s the last time I see any kind of trepidation. No, at that point I know – he will be in control from here on out.
And in a place very deep inside, I am relieved.
Tristan:
It was a crazy, exciting, brilliant – thought maybe a bit sleazy – idea. But it made perfect sense. We were both stuck here for who knew how long, so why not make the most of it?
Tonight’s the deadline for her decision. Seven o’clock, only twenty minutes from now. Aria said she’d consider my offer, but I’m not sure I can trust her.
Still, I light the candles, straighten the bed, and hope.
And it’s excruciating. Whoever said anticipation is half the fun is a moron.
I need to show her what she missed when she left with him all those years ago. It was my fault, I know that now. I waited too long, and when I finally got the balls to do something about it, I was too late.
That’s when I learned that nice guys finish last. Always. Forget the chick flicks where the nerd triumphs and gets the girl – all that Michael Cera bullshit. Doesn’t happen. Unless you’re Mark Zuckerberg or Jack Dorsey, and are on your way to making billions.
I’m ashamed to admit that’s where my motivation came from. I thought I could erase Aria with another woman. But I knew I needed to make some serious changes to do that. It’s why I went to MIT. It’s also why I quit MIT to start my own company. And I why worked around the clock and spent every cent I had on my latest idea.
For women.
At least that’s how it started out.
And it worked. Once I got out of Dodge, my lanky body filled out and I became confident and successful. Women were no longer an issue.
Not that you’d know that now. As the clock ticks closer to seven, I’m coming undone and clearly losing my cool.
Confidence? Out the window.
Upper lip? Beaded in sweat.
Nails? Chewed down to the quick.
Hair? A big, kinky 1970s bush, after continuously running my hands through it.
Balls? Blue, as they have been since she came back into town.
Yep, in the span of ten minutes, I’ve gone from Magic Mike to Jonah Hill.
Where are the assless chaps when you need them?
Pacing around the room, I listen as the waves crash on the beach outside the door. The door I’m willing to open with my Jedi mind tricks. Forget everything I’ve done over the past three years: the start-ups; the research; the hours behind the computer. None of it matters now because I’ve become a pathetic shell of my former self, like the kid I was in high school. The dorky computer geek who always landed in the fucking friend zone.
In less than a month, I’ve morphed back into that guy. Waiting on that girl. My mind races on an endless loop of insecurities. Will she do it again? Will she stand me up? Will she leave?
I know I shouldn’t care. I have options a-plenty these days. Still, I want her. One day is all I’m asking for. It’s all we need. One day a week. Four days each month. Fifty-two goddamn times each year.
On the other three-hundred-fourteen days, we could go back to business as usual. She would pretend not to notice me in town and I’d pretend that I hate her sweet little ass.

Play. Or be played.

The music should be enough. End of story. But Aaron Major is finding out it's not, and now his agent has hired a firm of suits to help launch his debut album, turning his life into a goddamn circus. Smile here. Play there. Be nice. Well, screw that. If Aaron wanted to spend his time shaking hands and kissing babies, he would've gone into politics.

Helping launch the career of country singer Aaron Major should be a cakewalk for PR pro Melody Sharp. Aaron is charming, sexy, and oh-so-appealing when he's on stage. Off stage, though, he's her worst nightmare. A stubborn, ornery, reclusive nightmare without a lick of business-or fashion-sense. The only way he's going to make it in music is with a serious makeover-and quite possibly a personality transplant.

Soon, they're engaged in a game of give and take, and though it's Melody calling the shots, it's Aaron who holds all control...
