Coming
to Hale
Hale Series Book 1
By Marie James
Genre: Erotic Romance
Out May 29, 2015
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.
This is a
standalone contemporary novel. The next book in the Hale series is Alexa and
Garrett’s story: Begging for Hale.
Recommended for
readers 18 and up due to strong language and explicit sexual content.
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.

James, full-time working mother of two boys and wife of 11 years. I've spent
almost my entire lifetime living in central Texas, with only short stays in
South Carolina, Alabama, and Florida. I've always wanted to write novels and
just recently had the gumption to sit down and start one. My passions include
reading everything under the sun and sewing. I even listen to audio books while
sewing. Coming to Hale is my debut novel and book 1 in the 4 book Hale Series.
I have several other story lines worked out for other books once this series is
complete. Reading and writing is my happy place. Hope you enjoy my debut novel.
