There’s a new bad boy coming to town

For those that don’t follow me on my social media accounts, you might have missed this announcement and trust me, this isn’t a book you’re going to want to miss!  Thorn Evans and Ari Daniels – they are EVERYTHING.

It’s hard to believe that, for the past three years, I’ve had this story beating away inside my head. For every one of those days, I’ve told these characters to just wait. Be patient. Your time is coming. I had other projects that had to be finished before I could get to this world, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to silence them for long.

Then I found THE IMAGE. The one that I knew, in my bones, was everything I imagined Thorn Evans would be. That was two years ago and about the same time my patience became a VERY short fuse.  At that moment, the characters got louder and oh so hard to ignore.

I couldn’t get to Thorn and Ari sooner and gahhhh, that sucked. I had books that I actually had to write, due to deadlines and contractual obligations, but I knew if I just waited Thorn and Ari wouldn’t let me down.  It’s been hard, wanting to bring these characters to life, and having to wait, but I wasn’t wrong; they really made it worth the wait.

Thorn and his best friend, Wilder (the next book in this series) are everything I imagined and so much more. Never have I had characters like them. Never have I had a book come together like this one. I went back to my roots. Some amazing suspense that even kept me guessing page after page—but above all, an epic love story that, dare I say, is so much more than any of my past suspense driven subplots. So much more.

“Unconscious Hearts is one of the best books I’ve read this year! Harper Sloan is a master at crafting pure, alpha-male perfection and Thorn Evans will steal your heart. This beautiful story will grip you with the first line and hold you tight until the last.” – Devney Perry, USA Today Bestselling Author

‘I’m sitting here trying to wrap my head around what I’ve just experienced, because boy, this epic book was an experience and a half! Every single page had evidence of Harper Sloan blood, sweat and tears. If you thought the Corps men were delicious and the heat factor insane, just you wait! You’ve got no idea what is waiting for you.

Yes, this was a Harper Sloan book, but she has taken her storytelling to a whole new level and delivered something fresh, unique and her voice shouts so loud in these characters that you’ll be smiling, swooning, fanning yourself, and desperately turning every page because you need more.

I was hooked, intrigued, and asking questions FROM THE VERY FIRST PAGE! I’ve never had a book hook me so quickly before.

Pre-order this book, set a alarm on your phone, clear your schedules, take a day off work, because once you step into this world, nothing else will exist.’ – Rachel Brookes, author of The Breathe series

I know some people are hesitant to start a new series, but I promise it’s so worth it. The journey of Ari and Thorn is everything I could have dreamt of and MORE. I literally get goosebumps thinking about it. I loved those two characters SO much, there’s a bonus 9K worth of steamy perfection after the end. What can I say? Even with their beautiful ending, I needed more from Thorn because *fans self* he’s THAT good. I could keep going, lord could I, but I all I can really say is please take a chance on this man, his amazing heroine, and the world of the Hearts of Vegas series opener.

Blurb:
Ari Daniels didn’t count on her whole world tumbling down around her in a mess of shredded promises, broken love, and unbelievable heartbreak. Alone and stricken with grief, she shouldered the blame and eventually closed her heart off, refusing to open it for another. After all, anytime she tried, guilt and regret were waiting in the wings to remind her how painful it was.

A bet and one steamy night with a stranger force Ari to confront all she’s been hiding behind. She tries to move on, but he refuses to stand down, wanting what she is terrified to give—herself. This man may very well destroy her in the end, especially when it’s clear he has his own demons.

What happens when two broken souls come together, finally allowing themselves to believe in the beauty of love … only to have to fight harder than ever to keep it.

Cowboy Up Excerpt Reveal!

cowboy-up-harper-sloan

With the last installment of the Coming Home series just months away, it’s time to give you all a taste of Clay and Caroline!  It’s bittersweet for me – I love this family so much and it’s been beyond thrilling to take this journey with them, but I’m saying goodbye with Cowboy Up!  It’s hard.  But, I have no doubts that Clay Davis will rock your world!

The blurb:

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Harper Sloan returns with a passionate and breathless romance about the sparks that ignite when a cautious cowboy and a once-scorned woman open up to each other in the third installment of the Coming Home series.

As the eldest Davis, Clayton has always tried to lead by example. He takes his job as head of the family businesses seriously, making sure the farm and auto shop are running smoothly—along with keeping an eye on his brother and sister. For him, there’s a time and place to let go of the control he holds with an iron grip. And with the way he grew up, coupled with a disastrous end to his last relationship, he’s just fine with his quiet, solitary life.

Most of the time.

What he hadn’t counted on was the cute, quirky, shy bookstore owner, Caroline Michaels. She’s the proverbial woman next door—well, the next town over, that is. Caroline hasn’t lived an easy life, but after escaping a verbally abusive ex, she’s finally living it for herself. The last thing she ever expected was a one-night stand with Clay Davis she can’t stop thinking about.

So when she falls on hard times and Clay comes out of nowhere to her rescue, she realizes just how impossible it’ll be to stay away from him. Now all she has to do is convince him to live a little…. Will Clay be able to give up the reins and finally settle down? And, more importantly, will Caroline muster enough courage to lasso him up?

AN EXCERPT FROM COWBOY UP

 

I push my hands from his shoulders and palm his jaw as his stubble prickles against my fingers while my hands wander up to his hair. His hat falls to the ground with a thud and I know he’s just as lost in me as I am in him, because he doesn’t even make a move to pick it up. He lets out a deep grunt when I mold myself against his body, seeking some sort of friction. The next thing I know, my back is against the door and he’s gripping my bottom. His mouth hits my jaw with a bite of his teeth, making a squeak of pleasure shoot up my throat, and his deep rumble of laughter reaches my ears as he presses me harder into the door with his hips. The heavy bulge of his erection against that spot makes me so desperate for him that I whimper in relief when his mouth finally closes over mine in a wet tangle of tongues.

I’ve never been kissed so thoroughly.

This is the kind of kiss that sets the bar for any that might follow.

The kind that shows you everything you’ve been missing and everything you never knew you wanted. I’m going to be comparing every kiss I ever have to my dark cowboy’s, even though I know there’s a good chance no one will ever compare. The sounds coming from my mouth, the ones being swallowed by his, are nothing short of needy. My hips move in tandem with the thrusts of his, and even though we’re both fully clothed, I know it won’t take much more of this for me to go off like the town’s fireworks on the Fourth of July.

“Fuck, you taste just like apple pie,” he whispers against my lips, breaking away with a gasp.

“Huh?”

“Goddamn, I love apple pie,” he says before his mouth is back on mine, this time with a whole new kind of hunger deepening his kisses.

I’m held captive, enraptured. Then his hands move from my bottom to glide up my torso. He lifts his hard chest off mine and suddenly those delicious fingers are at my breasts. Even if I had big boobs his hands would dwarf them, I’m sure, but as it is he covers both with a firm grasp before adjusting his hold with a deft twist of the wrists. His mouth continues to feast on mine while his huge hands learn my body with slow movements. I tear my mouth from his with a breathy moan when he pushes my shirt up and slips his fingers into the cups of my bra to tweak my nipples.

“Oh, God,” I moan when he does it again.

“I can’t get enough of you,” he rumbles.

“Please,” I beg, not with the slightest clue as to what I’m begging for.

His hips dig even harder into mine as he leans back, supporting me against the door with that connection alone as he pulls my shirt off. The darkness makes me feel more confident than I normally would be, almost half naked with a man—no, a stranger.

“Yours too,” I tell him as his fingers move to unclasp my bra. “I want to feel your skin on mine,” I breathe, taking over the task so he’ll hopefully give me what I want.

I fumble in my haste to feel more of this dangerous arousal he’s creating in my body, but the second my bra is free and dangling toward the floor, his naked chest collides against mine, pushing me into the door with a force that sends the air rushing out of my lungs.

His mouth hits my collarbone at the same time his hands grasp my bottom, sliding me up the door until I feel the wet heat of his breath against my breast.

Then he stops.

The Rockers Are LIVE!

15420891_1807118236167747_8943263112148794077_n

JADED HEARTS IS LIVE!

Chance & Wrenlee are finally here, ready to tell their story, and rock your hearts out.

Blurb:

Signing with Brighthouse Records was supposed to be everything we ever wanted—our better life. Our chance at everything we never had but always wanted. All our dreams would finally come true and we were on top of the world.
It was our chance at the happiness we never had in life.
Our every desire was at our fingertips and the power of that feeling was all consuming. But then it took every dream we thought would come true and it slapped us in the face with the cold hard reality.
Dreams were just that…something that floated on the cusp of untouchable, taunting you with every graze of your fingertips before slipping even further away.
Happiness…that feeling is a joke.
In the end it became painfully obvious that each of us would always have each other, but we would forever be alone.

15420995_1807016516177919_8448938173241984516_n

Jaded Hearts will kick off the Loaded Replay series, a rockstar romance series.  Each book can be read as a standalone – but the characters will be a part of each book.  These rockers are full of humor, heart and passion.

Don’t miss your chance to grab a seat and experience the world of Loaded Replay.  I promise, they’ll put on a show that you’ll never forget.

Excerpt:

Goddamn, that smile is dangerous.

Who am I kidding?  He is dangerous.

I do my best to ignore him, but it’s impossible.  The steady brush of his arm against where mine is resting on our shared armrest constantly reminds me how much my body wants his touch.  The scent of his delicious cologne hits my senses, making me want to climb in his lap and rub my face over his chest to get a potent lungful of it.

I can’t even remember the last time I was this horny, which is pathetically sad, since it was probably around the same time I actually got laid.  Years.  I think.  Close to three.  Maybe that’s why I’m a hot mess lately.   I turn my head to study the side of his face and wonder if I can use this situation to my advantage.  I mean, after all, we are in a ‘relationship’ now.

He turns and gives me a questioning arch of his dark brows, but I brush it off in favor of playing Disney Emoji Blitz on my phone.

By the time we had hit cruising altitude, I could hear the other men around me snoring away but not Chance.  He’s fiddling with his phone, completely ignorant of the fact I’m about to start humping his leg.

“Excuse me,” I breathily say, unbuckling my belt and standing to move around him.  I stand there, my head bent slightly because of the overhead, and wait.  He doesn’t move, though.  Instead, he drops his phone to his lap and gives me his complete attention; his eyes even dance a little like he’s finding this whole damn thing funny.  “Excuse me,” I repeat, no longer breathy, and seconds away from coming.

No, that’s a lie.  I’m still breathy and very much seconds away from soaking my panties even more than they already are.

His large hands grab my hips, and he guides me down on his lap with no resistance from my treacherous body.

“Not what I meant,” I say through clenched teeth, trying to sound harsh and offended, but I just sound dazed and turned on.  I wiggle in his hold, trying to get free, but he’s too strong for me.

He leans up in his seat, his chest hitting my back and buries his face in my neck.  I’m sure anyone who saw us would see a loving couple who just can’t keep their hands to themselves.  He’s playing a dangerous game, though, because the second the solid, hard length of him presses against my backside, I forget this is supposed to be a game and squirm a little more.  His teeth nip at my shoulder at the same time his groan hits my ears.

“Stop moving, Wren,” he demands, tightening his fingers on my hips.

“You’re the one who put me on your lap.”  I curl my fingers over the empty seat in front of me and squeeze my eyes shut when I feel him growing harder under me.

“Yeah, because the flight attendant who just walked by had her phone out and pointed right at us.  She’s doing a shit job of making it look like she’s doing something with her paperwork.”  His hand comes off my hip, and he cups my jaw, turning my head to the side just when I was about to look up at where I last saw the attendant, forcing me to shift until all it would take is me throwing one leg over his body to be face-to-face.  “Do not look at her,” he stresses; the sudden movement of twisting my body makes me bounce slightly in his lap, rubbing my legging-clad ass against his erection.  His eyes drop to my mouth where I pull my bottom lip between my teeth and groan.

“Give me a reason not to look,” I dare him.

“You don’t want to go down that road, Wren.  I’ll protect you from the world, but you need to protect yourself from me.”

“No one is asking you to.”

Not even knowing if we’re still being watched, I twist my torso the rest of the way, pulling my legs up until they’re bent at his stomach between us.  Now that I’m facing him completely, I bring my hands up to curl them both around his shoulders before dragging them up to wrap around the corded muscles at the sides of his neck.  His nostrils flare, but he doesn’t stop me.  I give him the chance, but it never comes.  Dropping my head, I press my lips to his.  I explore his lips with small pecks and little licks of my tongue, learning his mouth before pressing more firmly.  He sucks in a breath when I open my mouth and slowly drag the tip of my tongue over his bottom lip.

And then his control snaps.

His hands—still at my hips—lift me effortlessly until my legs are no longer folded between us, but now digging into the hard armrests with my knees pushing into his thighs, my back hitting the seat in front of me.  His mouth opens, and his tongue meets mine, no hesitation whatsoever, as he deepens the kiss.

Our breathing echoes around us, making it sound like everyone on this plane could hear us, but I know it’s just because our faces are so close.  I let out a moan, one that he swallows, that turns into a whine when he pulls back.

“That can’t happen again,” he softly scolds, just as breathless as I am.

What the hell?  I might not have been into this whole fake-boyfriend-slash-bodyguard thing before, but I’ll be damned if I’m not going to take advantage of the situation.  Especially now that I know how alive he makes me feel.  Three years since I had pleasure from anything other than my own hand, and if that kiss is anything to go by, what Chance could make me feel is ten times more powerful than anything I’ve ever felt in my whole life.

I’m not passing that up.

Nope.

No fucking way.

“We’ll see about that.”

I hope that you love Jaded Hearts.  It’s a book that I’ve had in the ‘coming soon’ pile for a while now and they finally made it clear that they were done waiting for the other voices to tell their story.  It was their time to rock the world.  While Chance is special in his own right, it’s Wrenlee that stole my heart.  She’s strong, fierce, take charge, and not afraid to go for what she wants in order to find her slice of happiness.

You might remember Chance (and the crew from Loaded Replay) from their appearances in Unexpected Fate.  Chance was Cohen’s roommate & we witnessed him lock eyes with Wrenlee in the middle of a Loaded Replay concert.  You do not have to read Unexpected Fate in order to read Jaded Hearts, but you can still pick up the Hope Town book 1-3 bundle for just $0.99 if you want to read it first or later. This is a limited time bundle that will be removed from eBook retailers at the end of December.

Surprise … I did a thing.

So … I did this thing.

Earlier this year I signed a book deal, as many of you know, and the creation of that world has taken a lot of my focus. It’s been a blast to spend time with new characters, creating magic and a beautiful love, but at the same time – I miss my indie world.

I miss it a lot.

I’ve missed it so much that, when I went back to spend some more time in the Hope Town world to visit Chance before finishing Jaded Hearts, I couldn’t keep some old favorites quiet.

I’m getting a little ahead of myself.

Kinda.

You see, Jaded Hearts has been neglected a lot. It started when Liam was being demanding. Then when Willow needed to be heard. Then again when Nate was being, well … Nate. Jaded Hearts has put up with a lot. Wren and Chance, they’ve been patient, and I love them for that. But, more importantly, YOU all have been patient. So, while I promise that Jaded Hearts is coming VERY SOON, I wanted to do something special to say thank you for all that patience. Thank you to you all and thank you to the characters that I love immensely.

The best way that I know how to do that is to give in to their demanding voices and give them – and you – a little taste of … more.

So, in that mindset came this little surprise. The first three Hope Town books are bundled with almost 10K words of bonus material between the three. Also, the family tree to keep the group clear on which siblings and parents belong to each other has FINALLY be added. See, I listen!

Let me stress that this series is far from over. Every three books I will bundle them. This WILL be available in paperback (books 1-3 is 766 pages!!!) but the eBook format will only be limited time. That means, these bonus chapters will only be published on the bundle and only be available for six weeks.  The paperback will continue to be sold when the eBook is taken down.

This is also a great way for you to get reintroduced to Chance before he leaves the Hope Town family for our rockers!

I hope you enjoy the extra chapters. I hope that the Hope Town crew treats you well & I can’t wait for you to meet the new cast and crew of the Loaded Replay Series (Jaded Hearts, book 1) AND the Coming Home Series (Lost Rider, book 1 – you can preorder this on all retailers). As for the Hope Town Series…I promise you, this is far from over, but I have to finish a few other happy endings before I can get to Nikki – that’s right, Nik will be the heroine of the next Hope Town book. That’s all I’m saying for now.

Much love!
