Anne Berkelely
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Synopsis
Barely escaping her
marriage alive, Emelia Cipollini has resolved to live a quiet life in the
countryside, but fate has other plans. With her ex out of prison, the loss of
her job, and a heartbreaking rejection, all arrows point toward a new beginning
in Seattle with best friend, Cooper Hale.
Shane Richardson,
drummer for world famous rock band, Hautboy, complicates things. His habits are
anything but conforming to her lifestyle, but when the bad boy plays it
straight, will he stay off the drugs and alcohol long enough to win her trust,
or will he become a repeat of her past?
Excerpt
“It’s fine,
Emelia,” said Shane, reaching past me for the knob. Contrariwise, I
thought he was pilfering another kiss. I met his lips halfway. No
matter how guilty I felt, I shouldn’t have done it. Nothing changed.
I still had ties binding me to area. I couldn’t do it. I
couldn’t abandon my daughter, couldn’t forget her.
Nonetheless, I
leaned into him, my hands resting against his chest. A shock of desire
raced through my veins. It felt like flames were devouring every inch of
me, centering between my thighs. It had been years since I’d been this
close to a man, and I’d forgotten all the aspects of their masculinity. The
scent of their cologne, the chafe of stubble, the hardness of their bodies, it
all acted as fuel to the fire blazing inside of me.
Reaching down,
Shane lifted my legs over his hips, slipping between my thighs. My ankles
crossed behind his back, pulling him fully against me. He leveraged my
weight against the house, rolled his hips, pressing himself against my core.
I moaned when he reached the apex, and mirrored his movement, pivoting my
hips so that I could extort the most pleasure from his touch.
Lost as I was to
this heady sensation, when I heard a sharp rap on the door behind me, followed
by Carter Strickland’s jarring voice, I nearly jumped out of my skin.
“For a recluse, you sure are demanding a lot of attention.”
“Fuck off,” Shane
grumbled, though he made no move to put me down. I was fairly sure he was
using me to hide his raging hard on at this point.
“I will as soon as
you get off the fucking door bell, dick wad.” From the corner of my eye,
I saw Carter gesture behind me. “Thing’s been ringing like we’re St
Paul’s Cathedral.”
With only the storm
door barring us from the inside, I could hear the repetitive peal of bells.
The air left my lungs in a fit of humiliation. “Merda.” I
quickly dismounted Shane and fixed my clothes. Carter watched with
unreserved amusement.

Meet the Author
My name is Anne
Berkeley. I'm a full time cubicle dweller, wife and mother of two beautiful
children. I do all things creative. Photoshop, photography, scrapbooking,
decorating, barbering, and I would like to think...writing.
I dream up most of
my material during my seventy-five minute commute to work. Some of it comes to
fruition and other times it's edited out again. But I hope that what made the
cut is worthy of note.
I write paranormal
romance novels for adults. No not erotica. Though there are some steamy scenes.
I'm working on several novels at the present. Yes, more than one. I jump back
and forth as my mood dictates. It's the way I work best. Tempestuous, my first novel,
released in 2012, Torrid in 2013 and Feral, the first of a new series in 2013.
I'm working to complete Turbulent (Third and final novel for the Tempestuous
series), a second novel for the Feral series, and two standalone novels.
