MOVING FORWARD by ERIKA ASHBY:
Jesika Reynolds’ heart was left broken one year ago when her husband died, leaving her and her son alone in this world. Slowly, she started putting the pieces back together of her life. Knowing that she may never open herself up to love again. That was until the day Derek came into the picture.
Why does this gorgeous stranger seem to care so much, so suddenly?

Derek Jordan’s charm drew her in with an instant connection, and familiarity that helps her feel at ease. Her heart is falling at his feet, but as their relationship grows, so does a secret from both of their pasts that neither saw coming. One by one, the threads slowly start to unravel.

Can their newly sought love stand up against the secrets that life is unlocking to their pasts? Or can they decide together that moving forward and forgetting the past is the only option for them to find true happiness?

WHEN YOU’RE READY by J.L. BERG:
Years after suffering the tragic loss of her husband, Ethan, which left her alone to raise their young daughter, Clare Murray still holds the last letter he wrote with the words “When You’re Ready” written in his familiar messy handwriting, unable to break its weathered seal. Ready for what? He was her entire world, and Clare had accepted a life without him, without love. Until years later, fate brings her to an emergency room, and face to face with a stormy-eyed doctor intent on changing her mind.
Son of a billionaire, Logan Matthews has spent his life trying to make his absentee father proud. Without a family to depend on, all he’s ever wanted is a place to call home. After a failed marriage, Logan believes he’s unworthy of love…until he meets a woman who awakens his spirit and transforms his entire life in an instant.

But how far are Clare and Logan willing to go for love? Can his love mend the pieces of her grieving heart?

When their love is tested, is Clare ready to put her whole heart on the line again? Can Logan learn the true meaning of love, even if it means sacrificing his own happiness? When a second chance at love is given, Clare and Logan learn you are never truly ready until you’re ready to risk it all.

THE LAST BOYFRIEND by J.S. COOPER:
Lucky Morgan has had her share of heartbreak. She is devastated when her boyfriend dumps her after sleeping with him and she vows to herself that she won’t be used again. She decides that the next guy she dates and sleeps with, will be her one true love.
Zane Beaumont is the mysterious and snooty guy that comes into her diner every Friday night with a different girl. He’s the type of guy she’s learned to avoid: carefree, fast, handsome, rich, and sarcastic. Unfortunately, she can’t stop thinking about the devilish gleam in his eyes.

When Lucky’s car breaks down one night after a party, it is Zane who comes to her rescue. As Zane attempts to sweep Lucky off of her feet, she soon realizes that nothing is as it seems and that Zane may very well be the guy for whom she changes the rules. That is until she meets Braydon.

TAMING THE BACHELOR by M.J. CARNAL:
Ex marine and bad boy, Mark Moretti, made a pact with his childhood friends to live life to the fullest and never allow a woman to tie him down. After years of success and the world at his feet, he is determined to make that pact a reality. A move back to his beloved Los Angeles threatens to change the future he had written for himself when the shy and beautiful, Sophie Barringer, ends up being the Maid of Honor at his sister’s wedding. Sophie has been burned at love. The last thing she needs is a self proclaimed bachelor to turn her head. But her heart may have other plans. Forced to spend a week together in paradise, can they deny their steamy chemistry and stay away from each other or will they give in to lust and take the chance? Can Mark get over his player reputation to take a shot at love or will fate be cruel enough to deny them their happily ever after?

SPARK by BROOKE CUMBERLAND:
When your past controls your future, how do you move forward?
Velaney Wills knows about that all too well. Weak, powerless, and fearing the one person who has hurt her the most…can she overcome the barriers to move forward? Being saved by a muscled Godsend was never on her agenda, but when firefighter, Eric Reilley comes into her life unexpectedly, everything changes.

Velaney has never felt loved or cared for, and her past prevents her from letting anyone in. Eric manages to break down her walls–despite the repercussions that come for them afterwards.

They have an undeniable spark–something she has never felt before, but will it be enough? Can love overcome all obstacles?

Can they save each other to protect their love or will her past shatter everything she never knew she needed…?

BEAUTIFUL BROKEN RULES by KIMBERLY LAUREN:
What happens when you create rules to keep others out?
One thing Emerson Moore has come to terms with is that she is the school slut. She knows her way around a frat house and how to get what she wants. She doesn’t make any excuses for her actions and she doesn’t pretend to be anything different. She is who she is and with that she knows how to have a good time. She’s made rules to keep relationships at bay and avoid the demons of her past.

When her best friend, Cole has his two friends from back home move in with him she begins to think she has met her match with Jaxon Riley. Jax is the perfect mixture of tattooed muscle and a sweet-talking mouth. With “hand” written notes, a voice that exudes sex and knowing just how to get under her skin, Jaxon learns how to break all the rules. But will he just end up breaking her heart anyway?

WILD by ADRIANE LEIGH:
An independent woman, a controlling man, and one wild one-night stand…
Kat Kennedy moved to the rugged coast of Maine to start a new life, but encountered much more than she bargained for in dark, dangerous, and seductive Lane Wild.

Desire and temptation smolder before she succumbs to her darkest fantasies with the captivating stranger. She doesn’t expect to see him again after an explosive one-night stand leaves her breathless and craving more, but just like lightning in the darkness, he shows up in her life at the most unpredictable moments.

A sensual game of cat and mouse ensues before the attraction between them reaches a fever pitch–the magnetism combustible, the sexual tension nearly unbearable–and Kat finally abandons inhibition and explores the cunning, selfish, and sexual side of a world she’s never known.

They have the perfect non-relationship–passion-fueled nights with no strings attached–until life gets real and the past and present collide in a dangerous storm of lust and obsession.

COWBOY TOWN by KASEY MILLSTEAD:
Ever since her parents passed away in a tragic car accident, Eden Cross has been living a quiet, stable and predictable life in inner Sydney – the total opposite of her carefree, relaxed, happy-go-lucky past. Her parents passing and the fact she’s an only child meant Eden was left with her best friend, Jules and Matt, her boyfriend of three years as her only family. That was until she discovered something about Matt that would turn her life upside down. Eden leaves Sydney in a hurry and begins an adventure that takes her across four Australian states before she lands in Pine Creek, Northern Territory.
Jackson Henley has lived in Pine Creek his entire life. He runs a massive cattle and cropping station with his twin brother, Jeremy, which they inherited when their parents retired. He’s had a bad experience with relationships courtesy of The Bitch – Dannika, so lately he’s preferred to play the field. That is, until he comes face to face with the stunning brunette beauty who’s behind the bar at the Cow and Calf. The problem is, she won’t tell him her name, she won’t give him the time of day, and she won’t give him a chance to prove himself.

What’s it going to take for Eden to give Jackson a chance? Does he have the patience to even bother fighting for her? How will he handle the competition?

In the end, will Jackson have what it takes to convince Eden to start living again, instead of just existing?

STINGER by MIA SHERIDAN:
Grace Hamilton was the girl with a plan. She knew exactly where her life was going and prided herself on always achieving her goals. It was who she was, and how she lived her life. She never stepped outside the lines, and never considered what she might desire and whom she was actually trying so hard to please. Until him…
Carson Stinger was a man who didn’t play by any rules except his own. Working in the adult entertainment industry, he didn’t care what others thought, and took each day as it came, no direction, no plan. He knew what women wanted from him and believed it was all he had to offer. Until her…

When circumstances forced them to spend several hours together, they walked away changed. But for two people who never should have meshed, overcoming the reality of their vastly different lives wasn’t possible. At least not yet…

AXEL by HARPER SLOAN:
Fate hasn’t always been friends with Isabelle West. In fact, fate has been a downright bitch.
Isabelle has learned the hard way how hard life can be when fate isn’t by your side. It can hand you dreams on silver platters, but it can snatch them right back and hand you nightmares. One thing Isabelle knew for sure fate was consistent with was taking away everything she ever loved.

For the last two years Isabelle has been slowly clearing the clouds of her past. Happiness is finally on the horizon. She has a thriving business, great friends, and her life back. All she has to do is jump over the last hurdle…her ex-husband.

When problems start causing her to fear her new life, and memories that are better left forgotten start rushing to the surface the last thing she needs is a ghost from her past to come knocking on her door.

Axel never thought he would look into the eyes of Isabelle West again, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to now. He’s carried his anger for so long he isn’t sure he can just turn it off, but when he is faced with protecting her and an unexpected desire to have her again, life gets a little more complicated.

How will Axel and Isabelle deal when all their cards are put on the table and everything they thought was true blows up in their faces?

All right my loves.  I need your help.
I’m in the need of some fabulous date from hell stories.  You know, the ones you hear and pray you never, ever have to experience.  Those dates from hell that make you wonder why the hell you even bother.  Or the ones that make you instantly feel the need for a scalding hot shower… and bleach.
The crazier the better.

The slimier the better.

Now, what is this for?

I’m going to be playing a bit of matchmaking in Cooper.  And unfortunately I don’t have any experience with bad dates.  I was lucky enough to meet my husband at 17 and I haven’t killed him…yet.  LOL.

If I pick your story to muse my brain then I will send you a signed set of Corps books plus swag.

Not bad, right?

Please only submit your story if you don’t mind parts of it being used in Cooper.  All names will be changed, so you can even leave those out.  If you just want to throw something at me about some douchebag you met, but never dated… even better.  I’m looking for at least 3 stories, so enter as many of those crazy goodies as you would like.

Can’t wait to see what y’all have for me.

✦ Please email all stories with the subject ‘DATE FROM HELL’ to harpersloanbooks@gmail.com

✦ Only email stories that you’re okay with parts being used.

✦ Myself and my PA, Danielle, will be reading through these and picking our favorites.  If we pick yours we will email you first to confirm that you are okay with parts being used.

✦ Prizes to the stories used will include a signed copy of Axel, Beck, Cage and Uncaged, a swag pack and an ARC of Cooper to be delivered when the story is completed.

Have fun!

Happy Monday, everyone!  I hope everyone had a great weekend, even if it seemed like a rain plus cold snap hit all over.  This morning was met with my body demanding I stay in bed, even with Miss A poking me in the face screaming, ‘eat, mama!’  I couldn’t think of anything better than staying in my cozy bed on this rainy day, and reading Bad Things by R.K. Lilley.
Yes, I know I am SO late in the game, but I was waiting on Lovely Trigger to come out… and then it was UNCAGED release time… but—better late than never, right?   And for the record, I am beyond in love with this book.
I’m going to do my best at keeping this post on track, but let’s be honest—y’all know I have ADD like crazy and more than likely I’m going to go off the rails soon.

This weekend I had the Sweet as a Peach signing in Cumming/Alpharetta, Georgia.  I’m a local girl, but I also hate being away from the thick of things so I drove my hour drive up and spent the weekend and boy am I glad I did.  The whole area of Alpharetta and Cumming is just beautiful and with the weather being slightly chilly, but 100% perfect, all paired to make the best setting for one stunningly beautiful weekend.

Friday night we spent the night, and I mean the whole night, at the Castleberry Ale House in Cumming—if you go DEMAND that Joe is your waiter!  We had a huge, loud, and hilarious group of authors, readers, and bloggers.  Oh, and let’s not forget the husbands that came out.  Sadly, mine had to work L but let me tell you—these men are such good sports.  They don’t even blink when something off the wall is brought up, and can rock Mini Coopers like nobodies business.  And Kim Jones, I love you—but I might love your Donkey just as much after this weekend!  The night was full of, book talk, penis talk, sex talk, a motor boating waiter, good music, and laughter like you wouldn’t believe.  And Dawn Robertson, girlfriend, that birthday shot for my non-birthday was so disgusting.  I’m so getting your ass back soon!  😉

***ALSO, big shout out to blogger Mandy Smith with Raw Books.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY again, lover!  Tailgating was never as kick ass as it was with you!  Hyatt Tailgate 2014!***

I had a blast.  I’m not even sure how late we were there.

Also, thank you to Mr. Felicia Lynn for making sure that we arrived back at the hotel alive in his gray/black car!  LOL!

But every second was brilliant.

Saturday was all about the signing.  Heather Gunter did amazing with this.  The venue was stunning, the space was HUGE, and the AC worked.  Laugh all you want, but there is nothing worse than feeling like a stuffed sausage in too tight pants.  LOL!  All of the proceeds went to the Bert’s Big Adventure, and as a local girl who has listened to The Bert Show for 10 plus years—this charity means the world.

We enjoyed lunch with the VIP, listened to some great music provided by Kim Jones’ table—no kidding, that is the table you want to be next to… I ADORE that woman—and more laughs.  I cheated and was doing some quick work on my Axel re-edits while we waited for the doors to open.

I’m so proud of my home state.  Not only did y’all come out, but you came in large numbers and made this event so much fun.  I think each and every reader that stopped at my table had me smiling one of those cheesy smiles that make you look borderline crazy.  LOL!  I HAD A BLAST!

Once again, those dang sperm went quick.  I saw Dawn’s panties, fan girled myself over the authors attending, got tongue-tied when Colin Wayne came and asked me why Steffen Hughes (my Axel) wasn’t here, and connected with some kickass people.

OH!  And met a real life Cohen.  I kid you not, Cohen is real—and he was at my table this weekend!  Stefanie Lewis—I’m calling you out—wasn’t that your adorable little boy?!  I might need to borrow him for future signings!  Ladies and gents, he stole the show.  The second he started dancing in the middle of the room, I knew I found Cohen!  And I’m totally kicking myself for not getting a picture with his cute little man self!

Saturday night a big group of us went over to Wild Wings Café for some drinking and music enjoyment.

AC/DC cover band?  SIGN ME UP!

I don’t even think I have enough words to explain how much fun this night was.  And let me tell you, drunk men that seduce the air in front of them when they dance are hilarious.  I think my phone is full of videos of all the great people watching.  Creepy?  Maybe… but when I need a laugh, all I have to do is watch one of those.  AND for the record… you know it’s a party when Dawn Robertson’s bra comes off!

Some random man told us his life story, a local birthday girl who had the best ass ever, a velvet wearing guitarist that can play like a music lovers wet dream, almost got puked on, and walked into the largest doorman ever.

Let me tell you.  When you’re too busy watching to cop to make sure none of your friends get arrested and walk into a 6’9, built-like-a-fucking-house, arms crossed over his beefy chest and scowl in place, man… you might piss yourself.  Or come close to it.  Until his stoic face cracks a smile and he says ‘Yo’ in a rumble that is so deep you feel it in your bones.  There’s a good chance that he could have snapped my lush body in half, then used my bones as a toothpick.  But, me being me, closed my gaping mouth and said, ‘You are a huge man, sir!’  At least said giant and said cop found me hilarious, otherwise I might have been in trouble.

So… there you have it.  An amazing weekend with some beautiful minds.  Thank you again to Heather Gunter for all of her hard work.  <3

To all of the readers that came out, thank you for making this event such a success.  I know Heather got a good donation for Bert’s Big Adventure.  To the authors that made the event so wonderful, you rock.  And to all the people who I’m blessed to call friends, I love you!

Until next time.

Harper out.

Greg Cage’s life is more fulfilling than he ever could have imagined. He’s married to the love of his life, has an amazing son, and in a few short months, his family will grow again with the birth of his twin girls.

The past year has been a tough one for the Cage family, but they are now on the road to healing by learning to let go of the past and looking forward to their future.

When situations beyond his control threaten to take away so much of what Greg holds close to his heart, he has to learn that he doesn’t always have the control he tries to maintain in their lives. Will he be able to handle the stress of knowing his wife and newborn daughters are beyond his protection?

Join the Cage family as they embark on yet another one of life’s journeys with a rambunctious four-year-old, pregnancy complications, and the fear of the unknown.

Will the love that Greg and Melissa share hold true as they fight to overcome the obstacles that face them?

UNCAGED is not a standalone. It is a continuation of CAGE. It is recommended that you read the first 3 books in the series before UNCAGED.

DEE
I’ve always been good at wearing masks. Not letting anyone see the real me. I’m content being the happy-go-lucky best friend. The strong willed boss. The independent woman who doesn’t need a man.

But the truth is I’m just as broken as the rest of you. I’m terrified that all it will take is one person to make all my carefully constructed walls crumble into fine dust. So I guard my heart with everything I have. Determined to never let anyone get close enough to hurt me again.

All is perfect until HE walks into my life. No… he doesn’t just walk. He struts his good-looking, sex-oozing self right into my space and demands that I see HIM. Making me want what I know I can’t have.

So I did the only thing I know how to do.
I run.
But he just won’t let me go.

BECK
The second I see her, I know she will be mine. I see past the gorgeous smiles and heart-stopping laughter. I see HER. She doesn’t want me to know her secrets or the past that haunts her, but I make it my mission to find out.

To make her mine.

She can run all she wants, but it will never be far enough to stop me from coming after her.
She’s it for me and she knows it.
She’s just too scared to admit it.

 

Note from the author–This book is intended for a mature reading audience and isn’t suitable for younger readers.

Greg Cage was born to protect. While growing up, he was his mother and sister’s shield against the world… until he failed. For the last decade, he has carried that guilt and need for vengeance around… until it was stripped from him. Now, with his best friend getting married and no longer needing his protection, he is even more lost, completely adrift, and desperate for some control. All he has ever known was how to protect: his family, his friends, and his country. Can he go against everything he has ever known, and give up that control?

Melissa Larson will never let anyone hold the reins in her life. She has been the rock in her family for more years than she can remember, and the fight to keep them together is her main priority right now. She has always been fiercely independent and proud. The last thing she will ever do is ask for someone else’s help. But when that choice is out of her control, forcing her to rely on others to save her and her family, and pick up the pieces that are left, will she be able to let someone else be her strength?

The second Greg locks eyes with Meli, he knows that she is someone he needs. Someone he craves. Meli knew the second she met Greg that he would be nothing but trouble and heartache. Her life takes an unexpected turn, and that bitch Fate is back to wreak more havoc on another member of the Corps family.

All hell breaks loose, leaving Greg no choice but to call in a favor. He hooks back up with his old friend Braxxon Breaker from the Breakneck MC. Together, they make sure that nothing threatens anyone Greg loves again.
