Blurb

From beloved contemporary romance author Sienna Snow
comes a dark and delicious tale of indulgence and passion. Enter the world of
the gorgeous gods of Las Vegas -- if you dare. 

It was always him.  

The one I shouldn't want, shouldn't crave, the one who could
destroy my carefully built life.

Hagen Lykaios was the essence of sin, indulgence, and danger
- everything I knew to avoid.

All it took was one unexpected touch, and he consumed me,
left me begging, needy, and hungry for more.

He said if I entered his world he would corrupt me, own me,
and change all that I had ever known...and you know what? I went anyway.

Excerpt

PENNY

The door locked
behind us, and almost immediately I felt the atmosphere of the office we'd
entered change. There was an undercurrent of arousal and need flowing, and it
definitely wasn't one-sided.

I leaned my
back against the door and studied the predator in the impeccable suit before
me. What was it about him that made me want to throw caution out the window?

"So,
what now?" I asked as he took my clutch from my hand and threw it on a
nearby table.

"You
tell me."

I pressed
my palm to his chest, loving the heat that radiated through the material of his
shirt.

"Tell
me you feel this."

"Yes."

"My
excuse is the adrenaline from the asshole earlier. What's yours?"

I licked my
lips and watched his eyes dilate. "Do I need one?"

He stepped
forward. "No, you don't." His mouth covered mine.

Dear God,
he tasted amazing, whiskey and his own natural essence. His lips were soft,
softer than I ever expected. His tongue found its way against mine, and the
kiss grew deeper. He rolled and glided, making my mind cloud with a need
suppressed for too long.

I found my
head jerked back in a tight grip as our mouths continued to duel. We ate at
each other as if we were starved.

My arms
pulled him closer, wanting nothing more than to feel all of him against me. His
hard length pressed into my stomach and my core flooded with desire.

I knew it
would be like this if I ever got a chance to kiss him. He was all-consuming and
demanding, everything I could ever want. Logic should tell me to stop, to take
a step back and think about what going any further would mean. But all I could
do was drown in the cascade of desire.

Hagen
released my hair, and his hands slid up my thighs, pulling them apart and
wrapping them around his waist. He rubbed his rock-hard cock along the seam of
my pussy and against my aching clit.

"Hagen,"
I moaned, wanting more. "I need."

"I
know what you need. I'm just not sure you can handle it." He licked down
my throat and then nipped the juncture of my neck and shoulder.

I jerked,
and my core clenched, arching into the pleasure-pain.

"More.
Please. More." I couldn't believe I was begging. Now if only I knew what I
begged for.

Hagen began
to grind his cock back and forth against the sensitive nerves at the apex of my
cleft, creating a rhythm that had every cell in my body screaming.

"Come
for me, Starlight." His hand slid farther up my skirt and then his thumb
began to stroke my clit.

I
detonated, throwing my head back as stars flashed behind my eyes. My pussy
spasmed and contracted. I lost all sense of place and time.

My arousal
flooded through my core, soaking his thumb and bringing out a groan from his
exploring mouth.

"I
can't wait to taste your sweet cunt. One day you will come while I fuck you
with my mouth."

His words
spurred another contraction.

Holy fuck.
Dirty talk got me off.

Slowly, I
came down from the best orgasm of my life and realized I was now sitting on
Hagen's lap. His erection was a brand under my bottom, and his breath was
ragged. I looked into his blue depths that almost seemed black since his pupils
ate up his eyes.

I tried to
reach for his pants, but he stilled my movement.

"I won't
take you. No matter how much I want to. Watching you come apart has to be
enough."

I don’t
date alpha males.
Especially
not alpha males with egos the size of Jupiter, who also happen to be my boss’s
big brother.

Deacon
Hunter is domineering. Condescending. Infuriating.

And yet I
can’t seem to keep my panties on for five minutes when we’re alone together.

He keeps
melting them right off. With that sexy voice, those confident hands, the way he
brings my body wildly to life, he’s proved my libido hasn’t gone into
permanent, post-divorce hibernation after all.

Surely
there’s no harm in being enemies with benefits… Right?

***
When Violet
Boden asks me to take her Divorce Virginity, the only thing I can think is—come
again?

No,
seriously, come again.

And again
and again, until both of us are so satisfied we can’t remember the people who
did us wrong.

Best if we
keep conversation to a minimum, though, considering I drive her crazy. She
drives me crazy sometimes, too. But she’s also sweet, loyal, fearless, and so
much fun she’s making it damn hard not to fall for her.

But how to
convince a woman who’s put me in the emotional no-fly zone that I deserve a
place in her heart?

Meet the Author:




Jim Halverson grew up in the rural, gold-mining town of Mokelumne Hill, CA and received his MBA from Golden Gate University. He spent part of his life on a ranch and is an avid student of psychology. He recognizes the struggles of all men and women seeking equality and respect. Jim and his wife, Gail, spend their time traveling from their small farm in Forestville, CA.

Interview with Jim Halverson
  1. In your book, Leroy said, ‘It would be good if more white men followed suit, but I don’t condemn them for not coming forward.’ Why is that?
LeRoy is honest and understands the world he lives in. Men, and women, live within peer groups. It takes courage to step away from your support group, your peers, your friends. Unfortunately, in 1873, and now, not enough people have the courage to risk alienating their friends, peers, and support characters to help someone in need. After LeRoy explained his thoughts, Johnny B established the challenge all Americans should face today when he said, ‘he wouldn’t give the same nickel for a man that won’t look in the mirror and try to consider a change.’
I want the book to scream these questions. Are you willing to help? Are you willing to change? Ae you strong enough to look in the mirror and consider a change?

  1. What made you write a book about the struggles of two men of color in a western setting?
Let me answer that question with a list.
  1. A very personal experience that I live with every day since high school.
  2. Disgust with childish television cowboys with racially stereotyped sidekicks like the Lone Ranger and Tonto, Cisco Kid and Poncho, etc. Note that John and Lee are equal in every way, gentlemen, and dignified. Their story does not necessitate shoot outs in the streets or fist fights in every saloon.
  3. The struggles and rewards John and Lee found in 1873 are still valid today.
  4. Most of the frames in this framed journey were fun to write.
  5. Like LBJ said when he solicited help for social reforms-‘It’s the right thing to do.’

  1. Where do you get inspiration for your stories?
Current events are great motivators, but a mere recapitulation is boring, especially to a reader that read the same article. Personal experiences without relevance to the environment are also boring. But current events that support or conflict with my experiences or personal beliefs can make me move. Sometimes, I even move enough to write about it.



  1. If I could go back in time?
If I was offered only one time in place and time I could return, I would probably miss the bus trying to decide. There is so much history I would like to understand, everything from creation to brain research. How could anyone pass up the opportunity to watch geologic processes in action over billions of years. Okay, that’s not one time or place, but it would be interesting. Just as interesting would be a Darwinian look at evolution from trilobites, dinosaurs, to homo sapiens.
Some interesting options for a single time and place would include: Athens about 400 BCE; Rome about 100 BCE; Boston 1776. Firsthand knowledge of these times would provide a background for our current thinking. If I could cite specific conversations with individuals from those times, I would be able to write with much more authority. As it is, we can only speculate on all the factors involved in the decisions they made.
“How about reliving my life with the option of changing a few things-very few.” I wrote that out quickly, then I thought about it and added the addendum “very few.” I realized that with those very few exceptions, I like who I am and what I’ve done.  


  1. Main character?
The main characters, two men of color, are equals. They seek equality from the rest of the world. They are good-willed, dignified, non-vindictive, and refuse to let prejudices defeat them.
I didn’t write the main characters into the mold of a specific person, but the question points to a modern-day hero, U.S. Representative John Lewis (D Georgia). He suffered, overcame, and earned the benefits of a life well lived.
Like John and Lee, the good guy(s) won.   



  1. What inspired you to write the book?
The inspiration for this book emanates from memories I wake up with every day of my life. As a high school sophomore, I was one of the football team’s best players. One of the few times I took a game break, I sat next to a black team mate who rarely played, but who was still a team mate. Instead of exhibiting sportsmanship, I shouted a racial slur in a reaction that has bothered me daily for sixty years. I have always known that I had helped tilt the playing field against him and all people of color.
Until I began to develop the concept for Trials and Trails, I only wished I could ‘make it right.’ If the book helps one person of color overcome the effects of white privilege, if the book opens the eyes of one white person, or if the book opens a dialogue, I will consider it a success. For now, Trials and Trails is my attempt at acknowledging that I could have done more—we can all do more.

  1. Favorite travel spots
My favorite travel spots? Norway or Alaska. Both Norway and Alaska offer pristine wild and open landscapes. Norwegians are well governed, civilized, educated, and pleasant. I have enjoyed my trips to the fjords, Oslo, Bergen, and Svalbard.
Alaska is still wild and open. The wildlife is available, and I have enjoyed photographing wild things in natural settings. Climbing glaciers and rafting down untamed white-water rivers are beyond me now, but I have those memories.
Notice that both Norway and Alaska are relatively, cool with flowing fresh water, oceans, ice, and fresh air. Just a few of my favorite things.


  1. There are many books out there about: The West, Psychology, Race Relations, Social Conscience, Horse Training, and Adventure. What makes yours different?

True, very true. There are a lot of books out there about all the above. But to get all the above you would have to read as many as three, four, or even five of them. You can get it all right here with one stop.
