I'm really pleased to welcome Jacqueline Anne to my blog today, who will be telling us a little about her latest books.
Author's Bio
Struggling through health issues, I discovered my love for reading romances. Writing then became my escape and in some ways, a depiction of my spirit. I enjoy creating strong female characters who overcome hardships, reflecting on some of my own adversities, trials, and triumphs. The relationships are sweet and sexy with characters who embody discovery, lust, trust, happiness, and love.
I lead a full and exciting life in Northeast Ohio. I love to bake, create, workout, dance, and read. I truly believes everything happens for a reason. My life can attest to that. Work hard. Play hard. Live life to the fullest each and every day, doing it all in a pair of 4" heels ;). Who says you can't have it all?

Blurb:
Coming from a troubled home where no one
loves her, Miya Jenkins turns to the only people who ever cared – the Walkers.
Her best friends, Cate and Caden, always have her back and their parents treat
her like a second daughter. She’s
smart, dedicated to her education, and focused on success. Miya learns to trust
her instincts and never relinquish control, all while enjoying what life and
men have to offer. Trust is a hard thing to come by for Miya, and she refuses
to open up her heart. Like the willow tree under which she lost her innocence,
she bends but doesn’t break.
Caden
Walker – always there for her, always protective, always a comfort, but wanting
more.
Miya
refuses to reveal her inner self, not even to him, and she’s not willing to
sacrifice their friendship. She wants a normal life,
to feel anchored in the safety of someone’s arms, but she wonders if anyone can
ever tear down the high walls built around her heart. Is it possible the walls already began to crumble beneath
that willow tree? Will all of her successful endeavors lead her to the one she
thought most unattainable?
Story
Excerpt:
“So? What now? Did you think of
something?”
“Yeah. Get your coat and boots on.”
“Why? Where are we going?” I stood up
from the couch wondering what he had planned. The last thing I really wanted to
do was go out in the cold.
“Just trust me. Bundle up, okay?”
When we reached the entryway, we grabbed
our winter garb. I put my scarf and hat on too. Caden opened the door, bag in
hand, and he indicated for me to exit first. It was just after eleven o’clock
at night. There was about two inches of snow on the ground.
“Where are we going?” I asked him again
as he closed the door behind us. “It’s late and very cold.”
“Are you cold already?”
“No, not at the moment but it is cold
out, and I am sure I will be freezing soon.”
He grabbed my hand and we strolled down
the lighted sidewalk together. The Christmas lights on the houses were
breathtaking. Some of the houses were pitch black inside obviously a sign of
everyone all nestled in their beds waiting for Santa to come. Still, others
were all lit up in the midst of parties. Some had a few lights on. I wondered
if they were parents getting ready for the next morning.
“Penny for your thoughts?”
Just because I was thinking about
something didn’t mean I wanted to share it. I sighed. Caden squeezed my hand
and looked at me waiting for an answer. “I was just picturing the moms and dads
putting presents under the trees for their kids, and then how happy the kids
would all be in the morning when they came downstairs to see all the
surprises.”
We were walking toward the park. “Miya,
you are going to have that someday too.”
“It would have been nice to have it when
I was little. As for the future, I don’t think so, Caden. It’s not for me. It’s
not what I know.”
He pulled my hand, halting me, and
turning me around to face him. “And why not? Don’t you want that kind of life
someday?”
“Ah, see that is where the difference
between wanting and being capable of having come into play.”
“You can have anything you want, Miya.
You just have to want it. Don’t ever want anything less because you think you
aren’t capable of it. You are stronger and smarter than that.”
I turned away and continued walking with
him in silence. All I could think about were the Christmases I had growing up.
For me, they were just another day on the calendar. There was one thing though.
Somehow, every Christmas morning, there was a present waiting on the front
porch for me. I wasn’t sure who it was from or how it got there. When I was
little, I always pretended Santa left it there instead of inside since we never
had a tree. As I got older, it remained a puzzle. I never questioned it aloud,
but I was always grateful for the surprise.
Once we got to the park, Caden opened up
the bag and pulled out a blanket. He set it under the weeping willow tree, the
same weeping willow tree under which I lost my virginity — to him. I smiled at
him.
“What are you doing?” A quiet, nervous
laugh escaped me. I tried to control the butterflies in my tummy, but my best
friend’s sweet gestures were getting to me. My mind and body had to stay on the
same playing field. He is my best friend,
I reminded myself.
“We’re having a picnic.” He went about
setting everything up.
“You do realize that it is really late,
in Ohio, in December and -” I looked up at the sky as the snowflakes started
falling lightly on my face. “And it’s snowing.”
“Yep.” He patted a spot on the blanket
next to him, and then handed me a thermos. I took a sip of the delicious hot
chocolate just the way his mom made it.
“Mmmm.”
“Good, huh? I put ten mini marshmallows
in it, just like you like it.” He took a sip of his own.
“Perfect.” I took another sip. I don’t
know how I came to prefer that number of marshmallows. When I was little, I
always thought ten was the perfect amount. The warm treat felt so good
traveling down my throat, warming my insides. “What else you got in there?” I
tried peeking into the bag, but he was already digging some goodies out.
“Cheese and crackers, and cookies too.”
“Well, look at you, Caden Walker. If we
weren’t best friends, I would think this a very romantic date.” My words served
as a reminder for myself, and for Caden. We were best friends and I did not
want anything to change.
He sighed with a grin, leaned up against
the tree pulling me close. He pressed a kiss to the top of my head. We sat
there for a while just taking in our surroundings, and enjoying our hot
chocolate and snacks.
Then Caden finally spoke. “I know you
are still thinking about what I said, and I will say it again and again if I
need to. You just have to want it, Miya.”

Excerpt:
I looked
over at Caden who had become very quiet all of a sudden. “What?” His eyes were
an intense brown. He wore a determined an expression on his face.
“So, JW
Events, huh?” He scooted closer to me. Passion
filled his eyes.
I nodded and my heart started to race.
Breathlessly, I whispered, “Caden, I…” As soon as his name escaped my mouth,
his covered mine. His lips were soft, but his kiss was hungry. I was shocked at
first. Instantly my body sobered up. At the same time, my lips parted and my
tongue flirted with his. My body relaxed, and my arms wound around his neck. He
pulled me close.
Caden kissed my neck. “Tell me to stop,
Miya, if you don’t want this.”
I couldn’t say a damn thing. I should
have, but I didn’t want to. We were roommates. We were best friends. His family
took me in when I had no one. My abusive past had left me totally fucked up but
right now, my brain and my body weren’t on the same planet. I took a deep
breath and melted into his arms. All logic flew right out the window. I was a
woman. He was a man, a mighty fine one too, and that was all that mattered now.
Caden picked me up and cradled me in his
arms. He carried me into my bedroom. His legs were as steady as could be,
despite the tequila shots we had consumed. He broke the kiss only long enough
to look into my eyes. “I want you, Miya.”
I cupped his face and devoured his
mouth. He put me down and swiftly pulled my T-shirt off over my head. I pulled
his off with the same immediate need. He yanked my yoga pants and thong down in
one fell swoop. He took a step back and looked at me. “Damn. You are so fucking
beautiful.”
“Caden,” I whispered through my panting
breath, and pulled him back toward me. I shoved down his sweats and boxer
briefs. He pushed me down on the bed. He parted my legs and his mouth
immediately descended onto my sex. His tongue lapped my slit over, and over
again. It settled on my tight swollen nub as his fingers thrust in me.
“Oh, God,” I moaned as my fingers mussed
up his hair and clenched there. Just as I was on the brink, he stopped and his
hard cock filled me.
“Fuck Miya. You feel so good.” He pulled
back out and thrust in harder. His thrusts became harder and harder each time.
His mouth and hands caressed my breasts,
while my own explored every damn sexy muscle on his body. My legs started to
quiver as my pussy contracted around his cock. I emitted a passionate moan as I
rode out the waves of my orgasm. My body milked Caden, and he joined me with
his own low guttural growl.
