Promo for Coming to Hale and Begging for Hale by Marie James
The only time she trusted someone with her
heart, she was just a girl; he betrayed her and left her humiliated. Since then, Lorali Bennett has let that
moment in time dictate her life.
Ian Hale, sexy as sin business mogul, has never
had more than a passing interest in any particular woman, until a chance encounter with Lorali, leaves a
lasting mark on him.
Their fast paced romance is one for the record
books, but what will happen when Ian’s secrets come to light? Especially when those secrets will cost
her everything she spent years trying to rebuild.
Excerpt
I can feel every soft inch of her body, a sharp
contrast to my hard muscles. Her eyes are no longer hooded; they stare up at me with…anticipation?
No. Fear. She’s afraid of me. Too aggressive Ian, take it down a notch.
“Don’t,” I command.
“Don’t what?” she whispers, her voice
trembling
“Be so disrespectful of yourself.” I tell
her.
“Just stating the obvious.” Her eyes are turning
from fear to more of annoyance. Lorali my feisty girl!
I gaze down at her, fighting a losing battle,
knowing I have to taste her or I’d not make it through the night.
“I think the only thing obvious about this situation
is how much I want you,” I say, bending my head down to whisper in her ear. “My body is aching for
you, Lorali. I want you so bad.”
“I think you’re playing some sort of game, and
frankly I don’t appreciate being the object of it,” she huffs, stiffening her spine and glaring back at
me.
“I can assure you this is no game for me, Lorali,
although you do seem to take pleasure in denying me.” It’s my turn to grow frustrated at her. Who does
she think she is putting words in my mouth, questioning my intentions?
“It’s a game to you. Find the most common
person here; seduce her, then walk away, all the while laughing about how you were able to get some
commoner so hot she’d drop her panties for you. You don’t want me; you want the thrill of the power
that it gives you.” The irritated look on her face is increasing my annoyance.
“I don’t want you? Tell that to my cock,” I growl as
I grind my erection against her.
She doesn’t even know me, how does she have
such a distorted opinion of me? It may take some time, but I’ll show her that I’m not some sort of
womanizer. I bend my head down further, breathing in her scent. Mmm. Lavender. Not able to deny
myself a second longer, I brush my lips down the column of her neck, pausing briefly over her pulse
point. I can hear her sharp intake of breath.
I pull my head back and focus on her beautiful,
pouty lips, only briefly denying myself the exquisite way I know she’ll feel and how sweet her lips will
taste. Having waited as long I can, I lean in, fully ready to take her mouth, simultaneously trying to talk
myself down as to avoid attacking her like a rabid animal. I brush my lips against hers, using every ounce
of restraint in my body.
“Stop,” she whispers, her breath ghosting against
my lips.
“I can’t,” I growl as I crush my lips against
hers.

Synopsis
Alexa Warner, an easy going, free spirit, has never had a problem with jumping
from one man to the next. She likes to party and have a good time; if the night ends in steamy sex that’s
a bonus. She’s always sought pleasure first and never found a man that turned her down; until Garrett
Hale. Never in her life was she forced to pursue a man, but his rejection doesn’t sit well with her. Alexa
aches for Garrett, his rejection festering in her gut. The yearning for him escalating until she is able to
seduce him, taste him.
Garrett Hale, a private man with muted emotions, has no interest in serious
relationships. Having his heart ripped out by his first love, he now leaves a trail of one night stands in his
wake. Mutually satisfying sex without commitment is his newly adopted lifestyle. Alexa’s constant
temptation has his restraint wavering. The aftermath of giving into her would be messy; she is after all
the best friend of his cousin’s girlfriend, which guarantees future run-ins, not something that’s supposed
to happen with a one night stand. Yet, the allure of having his mouth on her is almost more than he can
bear.
With hearts on the line, and ever increasing desire burning through them both,
will one night be enough for either of them?
This is the second
