Unable to cope with the loss of her first love, beautiful, headstrong Haley Hanson abandons love entirely. She seeks solace in the arms of strangers, a tumbleweed rolling where the gusts of wind carry her, and she lands between a garbage bin of rotting food and a brick wall.

Judge, 22nd Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards An excellent story for those looking for an erotic tale but also want to witness the growth of the heroine.

“Two men were infinitely better than one, an intoxicating combination if I could find it, and my greedy self-indulgence was boundless, my sexuality unleashed those many years ago with him. His shadow haunted me and shaped my obsession, the depth of my depravity deep and forged in the cafes and nightclubs and back alleys in a dozen countries with dozens of men. Once I’d started down that road, I couldn’t stop and couldn’t go back, a dark and insatiable impulse propelling me forward and driving me into the arms of strangers like the Mohammeds and into the sweltering barren desert.” 〰 Haley 〰

Book Excerpt

We returned to the hotel after midnight and I immediately drew him a hot bath, adding bubbles from the upscale toiletry collection, and he let out a long sigh as he sank slowly into it, gazing at me expectantly as I hovered over him.

“You come, cariño?” he asked, gesturing for me to join him, and my pussy immediately jumped to attention.

I sat on the toilet and hurriedly removed my sandals and ripped off the tank top, my pulse racing as it always did when his luscious eyes turned seductive and mischievous.

“You do naked dance, mi amor?” he asked.

“Striptease,” I corrected, laughing, and he flicked bubbles in my direction, grinning boyishly.

“You do striptease?”

The suggestion made me hotter and I slowed down. I slid the jeans leisurely over my behind, turned away from him and bent over, giving him a good, long look at my ass in the skimpy thong as I wriggled out of the pants.

“Fantástico,” he murmured, and I spun to face him, fluffing my hair so it fell wildly around my face.

Then I slid my index fingers inside the panties, tracing them along my hip and the apex of my sex, and I plunged a hand inside, touching myself and licking my lips, enticing him with my tongue, and his eyes practically bugged out of their sockets.

I smiled to myself. My first striptease and it turned me on as much as it did him, my slit dripping with juices and my clit plumping and pulsing, and if I’d wanted, I could’ve made myself come in an instant.

I moaned softly, deliberately, and moved my hands up to my breasts, skimming the lacy fabric. I unhooked the bra and held it close to my chest, my hips swaying suggestively, and then I flung it at him.

He snatched it out of the air, his coordination soccer perfect, as was he. Delicious, tantalizingly hot, the bubbles swirling around his rib cage as he smiled his uniquely crooked smile and gazed lovingly at me with his soft chocolate eyes.

He was enjoying himself and so was I, and it was impossible not to love him.

I shimmied my tits in his face, making a show of it, and his hands reached for them, but I backed away.

“Mi amor, come with me,” he appealed.

And I did, quickly peeling off the thong and sliding into the tub. I straddled him and he grasped the nape of my neck, gently drawing me in for a kiss, his tongue passionate, loving and intense, a slow sultry dance. I drowned in that kiss, swept under by a–

The lock clicked. Baba was back. I silently cursed him, wanting to remain in the past, wanting to stay with Mikel. I remained immobile and kept my eyes closed, and I felt him looming over me, sensed the stark light streaming from the ceiling and smelled cigarette smoke.

Book Excerpt

“I can assure you, Olivia, if Matt didn’t back down, I would have decked him,” he chuckles.
“Argh.”  Olivia stands, her hands clenched, and she goes to the bar and pours herself another drink.
“You should know, Olivia, I heard everything,” he murmurs, his voice low and silky.
Olivia glares at him, panic in her eyes.  She places the drink on the coffee table and drops to the sofa, lowering her head and covering her eyes with slender hands.  Can she be any more miserable?  Everything?  Shit!
Jed sets the drink on the side table, rises slowly and moves to the sofa.  He sits close and drapes an arm over the backrest behind her.  He cups her chin and forces her to look at him.  “There’s nothing to be ashamed of, Olivia,” he says softly, cocking his head to the side and smiling a knowing smile.
“I’m not,” she breathes, feeling that delicious pull, her belly muscles tightening.
“Good.  So have you ever had an orgasm?”
Olivia blinks.  Jeez.  She can’t believe he’s asking–mentioning–saying it out loud.  She wants to be offended by the extremely inappropriate question, but she can’t muster the emotion.  Her brain has left the building.
“Well?” he persists.
“No,” she mumbles miserably.
His eyes soften and he frees her chin.  “What about when you’re alone, Olivia?” he asks seductively, nuzzling his nose in her neck.
Jeez.  Can she be more embarrassed?  How can he sit there and calmly talk about orgasms?
Jed rises slowly and moves back to the chair.  He sits, picks up the drink, crosses a leg over a knee and rhythmically runs an index finger back and forth over his lower lip, his eyes locked on her.  Although seemingly cool on the outside, his insides are churning.  Pure lust rages within him–combustible, overwhelming desire.  Fuck.  He has never felt like this before and he knows he’s playing with fire.
Olivia peeks up at him, her green eyes guarded.  She will not admit to him that she has never had an orgasm.  Jeez.  She gulps the rest of the drink and waits for the fire to spread through her.  “I bet you can change that,” she says bravely, smiling a shy crooked smile.
Jed spits a mouthful of cognac back into the glass and his eyes widen.  “You don’t know what you’re saying, Olivia,” he warns harshly, his eyes black and impassive.
Olivia arches a brow–questioning him–daring him.
“You don’t know me, Olivia,” he smirks, continuing to rub a finger over his lower lip, his brows furrowing.
“You don’t want me?” she squeaks, her heart in her throat.
Olivia’s sweet innocence tugs at his heart and he nervously rakes a hand through his hair.  He wants her bad.  “I want you, Olivia.  But I can’t promise you anything,” he sighs.
“Can you promise me an orgasm?” she baits, her voice quivering and she can’t believe the words came out of her mouth.
Jed snorts.  Hot blood races through his veins and he knows she’s taunting him and he knows he shouldn’t do it, but the thought of giving sweet Olivia Brown her first orgasm is too tempting.  He rises and slowly strolls toward her, extending a hand.  She places a hand in his and he gently pulls her off the couch and leads her to the window.  He tenderly tucks strands of hair behind her ear and leans in to place a feather-like kiss on her neck.  “Are you sure, Olivia?” he asks silkily.
Olivia nods, her body enflamed with arousal, and she feels him smile against her skin.  He skims his cheek along hers and plants a light kiss on her lips.  He glances out the window and the guests are still partying at the pool.  “Come, I don’t want to undress you here.  You don’t want your friends to see you naked.”
He clasps her hand and her brain wakes up.  “Shit!  Gigi and Celia will be wondering where I am.  Shit!”
Jed takes her other hand and regards her calmly.  He mentally curses Gigi and Celia, hoping they don’t ruin this opportunity for him, but on the other hand, it might be better if they do.  “What do you want to do, Olivia?”
She ponders her dilemma and groans.  “Give me your phone, please.”  He removes the phone from his suit jacket, hands it to her and stands back, crossing his arms and watching her anxiously, his lips set in a grim line.
Olivia clicks on the Rutherford app and simultaneously texts Gigi and Celia.  “With Jed.  Am fine.  Boys in bed.  Don’t bother me!”  What choice does she have?  Jeez.  She’s an adult and she’s not going to sneak around!  She hits send.  “I hope you have insurance,” she quips, handing the phone back to him.
Jed chuckles and grabs her around the waist, pulling her close.  “Oh, Olivia, you are delectable,” he says, his voice low and seductive, his dark eyes searing into her.
The declaration renders her defenseless, and hot, delicious sweet pain burns in her deepest darkest parts.  He grasps her head and kisses her gently.  One hand slips through her hair and slowly travels down her spine to the small of her back and he crushes her to him.  She moans and he thrusts his tongue into her mouth, his kiss demanding, fervent, his tongue churning and coaxing and his bulge growing against her.  She grips his arms, steadying herself, her body riotous and quaking with anticipation.
He buries his nose in her neck and whispers, “Come, Olivia,” and he clasps her hand and leads her into the bedroom.
Olivia swallows.  This is it.  This is what she wants.

Book Excerpt

Jed waits for her in their bedroom, running his hands through his hair and pacing anxiously.  He has a lot to do and ticks through the list in his head, but when Olivia enters the room, peeking shyly at him with those beguiling green eyes, he is overcome by a primitive desire–an overpowering need–and he wants to fuck her–hard, his cock hardening with anticipation.  He decides the plan can wait, turns on the TV, sets the volume low and approaches her slowly.
“Olivia,” he murmurs, backing her against the wall and sniffing her hair.  “You’re so beautiful…”
Olivia’s pulse races and she locks eyes with him–dark chocolate magic–and her insides tense.
“I want to fuck you,” he whispers, his lips grazing hers.  “Can you be quiet?  Can you be absolutely silent?”
Her brows crease, doubting that’s possible, and he braces his hands on the wall and pins her to it.
“If you moan and groan and grunt, I won’t fuck you,” he warns silkily.
She wriggles against him and protests, “I don’t grunt.”
He snorts and arches a brow, planting a gentle kiss on her nose.  “Okay, you don’t grunt,” he says softly, smiling his rare, dazzling spine-tingling smile.
Olivia trembles and every sinew below her waist aches with want.  She wraps her arms around his neck and her lips seek his, but he pulls back and his dark eyes scorch into her.
“Can you do it, Olivia?  Can you be quiet?” he breathes huskily.
Olivia nods robotically, mesmerized by the wicked gleam in his eyes, and he cups her face, kisses her soundly and grinds the hard bulge beneath his jeans against her.  She suppresses a moan, but as his velvety tongue explores her mouth and his warm hands slip under the robe and burnish her flesh, caressing her breasts and tormenting her nipples, she doesn’t know if she can keep her promise.

Author Info

Julia Bramer loves to travel and has trekked around the world with her husband, Jim. For many years she dreamed of writing romance novels. She wrote her first romance novel in the mid-90’s, but back then authors were dependent on the big publishing houses to get their books on the shelves, and it was very difficult to break through. Now with the self-publishing revolution, anyone can publish a book, and after 25 years working for nonprofit organizations, she chucked the 9 to 5, took a leap of faith and dove in.

Her newest release Tumbleweed was self-published in April 2014. Turning the erotic romance genre on its head, she taps into readers’ primal fears and incorporates reverse gender stereotypes and recent historical events in an intelligent way, and she weaves a complex, erotic tale of lost love, sexual awakening and dark desire.

Book one of The Vitamin D Treatment series was published March 2013 and book two, Side Effects: The Vitamin D Treatment Finale, in September 2013.

In The Vitamin D Treatment series, what begins as a lesson in sex and seduction turns into more after a seemingly harmless therapy turns Jed and Olivia’s life upside down, and a custody battle, pregnancy and murder bring the pair closer together and change them forever.

Julia is presently writing her fourth novel, which will be published in January 2015. She loves the erotic romance genre and her stories incorporate many of the places she’s visited and people she’s met along the way.
