Damon

Starkis Family #2 ( Can Be read as a standalone )

by Cheryl Douglas

Blurb:

Eleni Litras recognized a kindred spirit when she saw one. Damon loved to have a good time, was allergic to commitment, and was honest to a fault. He wasn’t afraid to speak his mind, even if it meant raising a few eyebrows. She loved that about him. In fact, she feared she may be falling in love with him. But her tragic upbringing taught her trust was a filthy four letter word.

Damon Starkis partied like a rock star most of his life, with little regard for consequences. That was one of the many advantages of being born to a billionaire. But when he got news that rocked his world, he had a choice… grow up or risk losing out on the opportunity of a lifetime. Change didn’t come easily, but he was proud of his new life and the man he’d become, except for one little problem. The secrets and lies were piling up and if Eleni found out, she’d never forgive him.

About the Author

When one door closes, another one opens. I closed the door to my business for the last time in 2011, which left me with a decision. What now? Find another location and move my nutrition business, go to work for someone else, or take a chance on my dream? I chose the latter and I’ve never looked back!
I’ve always loved reading and writing, but it wasn’t until I jumped in with both feet and decided writing would be my career, instead of just a hobby, that my muse woke up from her deep slumber.

It was like someone flipped a switch inside my head and stories just came pouring out. At the end of the day, I would often look at the keyboard and wonder, ‘Who the heck wrote that? ‘Cause I’m pretty sure it wasn’t me!’

I don’t write books. I tell stories, or rather, I allow my characters to tell their stories through me. I’m not a plotter, never have been, never will be. Why? Because I have no idea how the story will evolve and it’s not my place to manipulate it. My job is to get to know these characters, figure out what makes them tick, then follow their journey wherever it takes me.

When I’m not writing, I’m daydreaming. Thankfully, I have an understanding husband and son who know I’ll re-join the land of the living just as soon as my muse decides it’s quitting time. I don’t work for myself. I work for her. She’s the boss. And I’m okay with that.

When Deacon Starkis sets his sights on the gorgeous young model gracing the pages of his glossy catalogue, he knows he has to have her. One problem. She’s not available. But that won’t stop Deacon. He’s a man used to getting what he wants and he wants Mia.

Mia is stunned when she receives an email from the elusive billionaire who owns the lingerie company she models for. He tells her he’s intrigued. He’s not the only one.

It seems they’re at an impasse.

Who will come out on top in this battle of wills? The dominant one or the woman intent on teaching him the meaning of submission?

TRAILER

With the launch party at the forefront of my mind, I made my way downstairs to wardrobe.

Half a dozen women turned, gaping at me. I rarely made personal selections for my models, but I didn’t think my presence warranted such stunned silence.

“Good afternoon, ladies,” I said, trying to hide my amusement.

“Hello, Mr. Starkis,” one of the women stammered. “How can we help you?”

“I’m here about the fashion show this weekend.”

She gestured toward several hanging racks. “Everything’s taken care of, sir. You’re welcome to have a look at the samples. They’re right over there.”

“I’d like to see what Mia Barnes will be wearing.”

Two women exchanged curious glances before one said, “Of course, Mr. Starkis. I’ll get those selections right away.”

I barely noticed the gorgeous models milling about half-naked, being fitted for the upcoming show. Many were trying to get my attention, smiling or giving me sultry looks as they met my eyes in the full-length mirror. They had been hand-selected for their talent and beauty, but none were Mia, therefore none held my attention for long.

“Here they are,” the harried, middle-aged woman with the blond bob and pixie skirt said. “I think these will look fabulous on Mia.” She laughed. “I’ve worked in this business a long time, and I can tell you it’s rare to find a model who looks amazing in everything she tries on. Most have some flaw they wish to hide, but not our Mia.”

I smiled tightly. Our Mia? Wrong. She was my Mia. “I’m sure you’re right, but that one won’t work,” I said, pointing at the lavender silk bra and matching panties on the white satin hanger. “Next.”

Looking stricken, the woman said, “But—”

“It’s lovely…?”

“Barbara.”

“It’s lovely, Barbara. Just not what I have in mind for Mia. May I see the next one?” She held up a black lace bustier with a matching thong, looking apprehensive. She had every reason to be nervous. The only time I expected to see Mia parading around wearing that was when she was modeling it for me.

“I want her to model the bridal collection.” I knew that was sexy yet demure.

“The bridal collection?” Barbara seemed stunned by my request.

“Is there a problem?”

“Um, no, but with Eleni’s darker coloring, I thought she would be perfect for the bridal collection.”

“You thought wrong,” I said, pinning her with a stare that brooked no argument. “Switch them. Eleni can wear these.” I gestured toward the pieces Mia had been slotted to wear. “Mia will model the bridal collection.”

“Of course, Mr. Starkis. Anything you say, sir.”

The Song That Epitomizes Deacon

by Cheryl Douglas

If I had to choose one song that epitomizes my book, Deacon, it would be "Ride" by Chase Rice.

The first time I heard this song I thought of my characters, Deacon and Mia. It epitomizes how sexy and sensual their relationship is. I wish I could have used this song in my book trailer. It would have been perfect. Still, every time I hear this song I turn it up loud and scenes from my book play out in my head.

Check out the lyrics and tell me this song is not smokin’ hot!

Take off those heels, lay on my bed
Whisper dirty secrets while I'm pulling on your hair
Poison in our veins but we don't even care
Candles dripping on your body, baby this ain't truth or dare
Everybody wonders where we run off to
My body on your body baby sticking like some glue
Naughty, let's get naughty girl, it's only one or two
The fever's running, feel the heat between us too

I'm gon' ride, I'm gon' ride, I'm gon' ride
I'm gon' ride on you baby, on you lady all night, all night
I'mma take care of your body, I'll be gentle, don't you scream
It's getting hotter, make it softer, feel your chest on top of me
I'm gon' ride, I'm gon' ride, I'm gon' ride
I'm gon' ride on you baby, on you lady all night, all night
I'm gon' make you feel that loving, getting weak all in your knees
Kiss your body from the tip top all the way down to your feet

Yeah girl, we can go slow
Yeah, we can go slow

Lay on your back, like you right there
Don't have to say it twice, love, there's nothing here to fear
Taking it back, back to where it's clear
Rolling on and on, sounds of loving in the air

I'm gon' ride, I'm gon' ride, I'm gon' ride
I'm gon' ride on you baby, on you lady all night, all night
I'mma take care of your body, I'll be gentle, don't you scream
It's getting hotter, make it softer, feel your chest on top of me
I'm gon' ride, I'm gon' ride, I'm gon' ride
I'm gon' ride on you baby, on you lady all night, all night
I'm gon' make you feel that loving, getting weak all in your knees
Kiss your body from the tip top all the way down to your feet

Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh oh

The sun's coming up, you're on my side
I rub your thigh, you look in my eyes
And I just see the sky, I'm so high
And I ain't smoked yet, I'm just coming down from it

I'm gon' ride, I'm gon' ride, I'm gon' ride
I'm gon' ride on you baby, on you lady all night, all night
I'mma take care of your body, I'll be gentle, don't you scream
It's getting hotter, make it softer, feel your chest on top of me
I'm gon' ride, I'm gon' ride, I'm gon' ride
I'm gon' ride on you baby, on you lady all night, all night
I'm gon' make you feel that loving, getting weak all in your knees
Kiss your body from the tip top all the way down to your feet

Ooh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
