Redeemed

The Matawapit Family Series Book 2

by

Maggie Blackbird

Genre:

Contemporary Inspirational Romance

A single woman battles to keep her foster child from his newly-paroled
father—a dangerous man she used to love.

Bridget Matawapit is an Indigenous activist, daughter of a Catholic deacon, and foster mother to Kyle, the son of an Ojibway father—the
ex-fiancé she kicked to the curb after he chose alcohol over her love. With Adam out on parole and back in Thunder Bay, she is determined to stop him from obtaining custody of Kyle.

Adam Guimond is a recovering alcoholic and ex-gangbanger newly-paroled. Through counselling, reconnecting with his Ojibway culture and twelve-step meetings while in prison, Adam now understands he’s
worthy of the love that frightened him enough to pick up the bottle
he’d previously corked. He can't escape the damage he caused so
many others, but he longs to rise like a true warrior in the pursuit
of forgiveness and a second chance. There's nothing he isn't willing
to do to win back his son--and Bridget.

When an old cellmate’s daughter dies under mysterious circumstances in foster care, Adam begs Bridget to help him uncover the truth. Bound to the plight of the Indigenous children in care, Bridget agrees. But putting herself in contact with Adam threatens to resurrect her long-buried feelings for him, and even worse, she risks losing care of Kyle, by falling for a man who might destroy her faith in love completely this
time.

The Matawapit Family Series Book 1

Genre:

Contemporary M/M Inspirational Romance

It’s been ten years since Emery Matawapit sinned, having succumbed to
temptation for the one thing in his life that felt right, another man. In six months he’ll make a life-changing decision that will bar him from sexual relationships for the rest of his life.

Darryl Keejik has a decade-long chip on his shoulder, and he holds Emery’s father, the church deacon, responsible for what he’s suffered: the loss of his family and a chance at true love with Emery. No longer a
powerless kid, Darryl has influence within the community—maybe more
than the deacon. Darryl intends on using his power to destroy Deacon
Matawapit and his church.

Hoping to save the church, Emery races home. But stopping Darryl is harder than expected when their sizzling chemistry threatens to consume Emery. Now he is faced with the toughest decision of his life: please his devout parents and fulfill his call to the priesthood, or remain
true to his heart and marry the man created for him.

This is very erotic book about a spiritual journey.

Enjoy a Sexy Snippet from - Team Building - by F. Leonora Solomon from New Release Chemical Sex 2 : Just One More!

I'm delighted to have Special Guest F. Leonora Solomon here today! Enjoy!

So honored to be on HK’s blog today, and also honored to talk about the new book I am in Chemical Sex 2 : Just One More! I was in the first book as well, and I thought about continuing that story in some way. It ended up being so more fun to come up with a new story. I love couples who dislike each other at first, conversely I love couples who start out well and end up badly—I love the evolution—and then the foodie in me came out, so it all over then! I love the story I wrote, and want to give you just a taste—like when you go in a candy store or ice cream parlor…Indulge!

From Team Building by F. Leonora Solomon

“Tere, where’s Carter?” Gigi asked suddenly, as if alarmed.

“He took a call at the last minute,” Tere said around a mouthful of bread.

“Why?” Gigi asked.

“We received an urgent call. From Acme,” Jake said.

Everyone turned to look at Jake. Acme was a huge client, and as such, any call from them took top priority.

“I’m sure it’s nothing Carter can’t handle, so let’s go back to enjoying this wonderful outing, courtesy of Tere’s brilliant mind,” Libby said, tipping her glass in Tere’s direction.

Tere wasn’t sure what made her blush more, Libby’s compliment, or being named in the same sentence as Carter, as if they were a pair. The only thing they had in common was working for the same company, a small consulting firm that provided specialized creative and technical services for other businesses. Since Tere was the lead creative, and Carter was the lead tech, they barely interacted with each other, which was for the best. Tere never wanted to shit where she ate, and she really liked her job.

Handsome distractions like Carter were meant to be avoided.

Tere dipped another hunk of bread into the oil, the fragrance of which reminded her of the cologne Carter wore. An ex of hers wore the same one, and when she used to sit on his lap, he’d hold her close and she would take him all in. Nose buried in the curve of his neck, sometimes the scent would infuse with his sweat, and it aroused her all the more.

She had definitely taken Carter in. From the moment, he arrived in the morning and muttered a terse good morning, until one of them left. They were both workaholics, even to the point of taunting each other with phrases like, “First one to clock out is a rotten egg.”

But until they were separated, she took him in.

“We’re just waiting for one more, and then we’ll start,” the woman in the front of the room said. “This is going to be a very relaxed class. We just want to give you a little background about the cheeses and wines so you can show off to friends, or maybe make yourself a cheese plate at home.”

Tere took another sip of wine and continued to pluck at the addictive bread. She knew she should leave some for Carter but didn’t care that much if he had any. Carter walked in a bit later and was handed a glass of wine, some of which he spilled on her as he got into his seat. She was lucky she wore black.

“I am so sorry,” he said, handing her a napkin.

Tere shrugged and used the napkin to dab at her dress. “It’s fine.”

Servers appeared and placed delectable samplings on each table. Tere’s mouth watered over the circular spread of cheeses—six in all—placed in order from mild to robust. A different wine was paired with each cheese.

Jake turned and looked at Carter. “Is everything okay?”

That was how serious Acme was to the firm. Carter could not even get settled before Jake pressed him for details about the phone call.

“Perfect,” Carter said with a smile, his deep voice confident and warm.

His confidence, that’s what bothered her about him, Tere thought to herself. From his first day at the firm, he had acted like something special, treating Tere like an assistant. Even sitting next to her now, he said nothing, just plucked bread from the basket with his long fingers.

Tere sampled the first cheese, a semi-soft variety called Valencay paired with prosecco and a rosemary honey garnish. The pure decadence of the pairing made Tere want to close her eyes. Carter copied her and spread the cheese on his bread, putting a dab of honey on top. When she watched him lick the left-over honey from his finger, she was glad she’d kept her eyes open.

“This was a good suggestion Tere,” Carter said. He took a generous sip of the prosecco while gazing into her eyes.

Tere realized she had never been this close to Carter before. Even though they shared an office, they were very good about boundaries. Her side was her side, and his side was his side. But at this proximity, she couldn’t forget how handsome he was, or how he smelled of Le Labo, the same scent she took in while sitting on her ex’s lap, when he’d held her close, and she wanted nothing more than for him to be inside of her.

She moved away from Carter—as much as she could with their chairs side by side—and continued to eat her bread with Valencay. There was so much giggling and clinking of glasses that she was happy that she had a plate chart. It was almost impossible to hear what cheese they were tasting above the noise.

Next, they sampled a washed rind cheese which was funkier than the cheeses they’d had to that point. Tere was nervous about the cloth bound cheeses, afraid she might gag if she ate the rind. The locker room smell of the current cheese was jarring, but tasted delicious.

“So, the Acme call went well?” she asked Carter, following Jake in asking about business to make small talk. She wondered if the suggestion of absinthe in the rind had placed her a little out of her comfort zone.

“We still have jobs if that is what you mean.” Carter gave her a mocking smile to let her know he was joking and Tere smiled back, in spite of herself. “Everything went well. They just wanted me to check on some minor things before their website launch tomorrow. They have a new line of chocolates.”

“The sexy chocolates?” Gigi said.

Mara giggled. “Do you think they’re sexier than the candy they already make?”

Carter looked over at them and shrugged. “I don’t know,” he said. “I’ve never had their chocolates.”

Acme’s chocolates were rumored to have an aphrodisiacal component, but the company would not confirm it. Their tongue-in-cheek commercials hinted at it though, so they played with their reputation, nonetheless.

“I’ve never had them either,” Tere said to Carter. “It’s funny, because they’ve sent us some amazing holiday gift baskets, but they never include the chocolate.”

Carter shot her a smile, and said, “Maybe they’re not safe for work.”

This small snippet of witty banter was the most they’d ever spoken to each other and she wondered if she would continue on Monday…

Excerpt

Heart pounding, I panted breathlessly, "Cole! I'm-I'm not who you th-think I am!" I scraped his scalp with my nails, bowing sharply beneath his mouth. Oh, sweet Jesus, he was going to kill me with pleasure!

Breathing hard, he pulled his mouth off my nipple and looked up at me with surprising clarity in his eyes, his dark expression stamped with raw arousal. "I know exactly who you are," he grated hoarsely. "I've known since I pulled you beneath me."

What? I took a second to process what he'd said, or to at least try. I was so turned on that it felt as if I were on some life-altering drug, and I was, in a way--I was high on Cole. "We-We can't do this," I whispered, while at the same time asking myself why it was that we couldn't.

His grin was pure sex. "Looks like we are."

"But . . . you thought I was someone else," I reminded him. "What about her?"

He released a frustrated breath. "Can we talk about this later? I'm right in the middle of something."

I was not going to be a convenient fill-in for another woman, no matter how turned on I was. No matter how hot Cole was. "Listen, jerk, when a man makes love to me, I'd at least like to know that he knows it's me he’s making love to."

His body vibrated with laughter against me. "I don't make love, baby. I fuck."

I felt a surge of anger in response to his flippant attitude. "Well, then find someone else to fuck," I hissed, trying to wiggle out from beneath him. Cole was a big man, and he was heavy. Bumping my hips to try to force him to move proved to be a dumb move, because all it managed to do was reveal how fucking huge and hard his cock was.

Cole grunted in response and dropped his head back onto my breasts. I began to wiggle wildly, afraid of where this was going.

Afraid of myself.

"Get off!"

"Jesus, wait a fucking minute, will you?" he growled as if he were in pain, pressing my body down to hold me still.

I stilled. "I'll give you ten seconds."

His mouth was against my breast, and the feel of his smile on my flesh caused a shiver to ripple through my body.

Will a trip to Sandy Ridge change the friends’ lives for the better or worse?

Set includes:

Without Reservation - MMF Romance:

Art studio vandalized and her mother in a fresh grave, Meg Winters heads off on vacation with her two best friends. She hopes for peace from her grief and the return of her muse. She doesn’t expect to run into the two men she idolizes, Trevor and Jack, the secretive wonders of the art world whose work she’s long admired. She certainly doesn’t expect them to be sex-on-legs gorgeous and determined to fulfill her number one sexual fantasy. They not only awaken her slumbering body, but also her creativity and the life she used to wield with her brushes.

However, Meg carries a secret of her own which holds her back from surrendering herself fully to their desires. Will Trevor and Jack be able to overcome her reservations, or will the truth of her past ruin their chance for love?

Without Hesitation - MF Romance:

Dumped like a bag of misshapen clay four months before her wedding, grade-school art teacher Mindy Hughson has no intention of opening her heart to anyone ever again. Hookups and one-night-stands fill the ache of abandonment—but still leave her wanting.

Attempting to find peace from the shattered pieces of her past, Mindy returns to Sandy Ridge where she's drawn to the cabin’s owner, Gage Hart. A carefree fling with a ripped hunk of fuck-a-licious beefsteak is just what she needs to fill the emptiness she feels inside. But Gage's sexy smirk, lone dimple, and deep stare demand more than just the press of her body against his. He wants her love. With his mere presence threatening her resolve to keep things simple, will the pain of her past force her to flee? Or will Mindy dare to open her heart to Gage without hesitation?

Without Condition - MF Romance:

Nothing but Kayla’s fingers and not-so-trusty vibrator have given her an orgasm in almost a year, and the one man she’s hell-bent on breaking her losing streak hides behind his badge. Detective “Hottie Pants” Ford thwarts her every attempt at seduction, and even though vandalisms, a trashed apartment, and physical assault keeps throwing them together, he refuses to attempt a relationship ever again.

She sees past his facade into the man hiding his pain behind unbreakable rules and inflexible conditions, but even after the fiery chemistry between them ignites, she struggles to prove to him she is nothing like the woman who jaded him for life.

Heartbroken, Kayla decides on a vacation to help her peace of mind—and ends up at Sandy Ridge. With danger hot on her heels, can the man she turns to first recognize Kayla for who she is? Will he give her the chance she needs to let him know she wants him without condition, before it’s too late?
