They call me crazy, lethal—psychotic.

 

I’m all those things and more.
The darkness calls to me, sending me spiraling out of control.
But one woman calms me, bringing me back from the edge when I’m about to lose it.
She’s my savior in every way possible.
But she doesn’t even know I exist. Yet.
I see the way she struggles, trying to maintain her sanity.
I won’t let her go down the same path as my mother.
She won’t be another statistic.
There’s only one thing for me to do—take her.
It’s not kidnapping if you know the person.
She didn’t believe me when I said that.
But I’m not worried about it. She’ll soon find out there are worse things than being hitched to my wagon.
I’ll cherish the ground she walks on for the rest of my life, whether she’s in it or not.
She is my priority, the only reason I continue to live when the darkness takes over.
I’m not naive. Just because I want Anna doesn’t mean I can have her.
I am not a good man, but I am the man for her. I will protect her with my life, slaughter anyone that tries to take her from me.
And when an enemy threat looms, I’ll remove them just like any other baddie.
There is no surviving when The Phantom is calling to me.

 

 

Cash ignored me and continued. “Right now, he’s injured and needs rest and a doctor’s supervision. He’s still considered in critical condition. I need a team that can go to him since he can’t be moved.”

“I’m all over that, boss,” I said enthusiastically. “Who’s with me?”

No one responded and Cash looked pleadingly at all of them. “Really, anyone that’s willing will get overtime.”

“Boss, we all know what we signed up for when we took this job,” IRIS said, “but this is just insanity.”

“You blow shit up for a living,” Lock snorted.

“Yeah, but on my terms. This guy is an assassin. I don’t need to wake up with a knife in my back, or worse, have him bring heat down on us from past jobs.”

I stood this time, thinking someone would join me. “Again, I’m all over this.”

“He’s psychotic,” Cash sighed.

“I’m psychotic.”

“He doesn’t play well with others.”

I slapped my hands against my chest and grinned. “Neither do I!”

“It’s a long job. Keeping him alive is only phase one of the job.”

“Phase me in,” I smirked.

Cash looked around. “I really need a three man team on this. Three people that can work well together,” he emphasized.

“Boss,” I chuckled, glancing around the room at the others. “I’m sort of getting the feeling you don’t want me on this job.”

“What about you, Jack? This is the sort of job your team takes.”

I stood there a little pissed that he was talking around me as if I wasn’t here, like I wasn’t volunteering to take a job that everyone else clearly wasn’t on board with.

“Ya know, we do black ops,” Jack answered. “This is babysitting.”

I rushed around the table, getting right in Cash’s face. I’d make him send me if it was the last thing I did. “Boss, you know I’m the man for the job. I’m great under pressure and with annoying assholes.”

“Yes, but we’re trying to keep this one alive. If you kill him, that sort of defeats the purpose of the job.”

“Hey, I’m a very likable guy,” I said defensively.

“Yes,” he nodded slowly. “To people that know you.”

“So, send me with…” I glanced around the room, trying to figure out who would best work with me. “Rae and IRIS.”

“No,” Rae stood up. “I’m not going on a long mission with Fox. Not gonna happen.”

“IRIS, you can set explosives all around the house,” I said excitedly. “It’ll be just like old times.”

“Yeah, as fun as it sounds to blow someone up, I’d rather shoot myself than go on a long assignment with an assassin.”

“Seriously?” I asked the whole room incredulously. “Am I the only one that sees the benefit of this? To get inside the mind of a killer and pick his brain apart?”

“We sort of already have that with you,” Slider answered. “I think that’s enough to last a lifetime.”

 

 
I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

Now stolen myself and brought into the world I never planned to come to, I have to try hard to survive. Or die like so many do around me.
A war is raging in Dakath, and I don’t belong on either side of it. I can’t trust anyone in the king’s castle, not even Elex. His life is tied to the king, who is the most despicable man among the dragons. The gargoyles at King Edkhar’s Court are stronger, faster, more ruthless than I could ever be. But as the only human in the kingdom where everyone turns to stone at sunset, I may have an advantage still.
No one knows what I’m capable of to protect those I love. An incredible power lies inside me—the power of human love.

Diablo:

 

I’m a savage and a killer.
A man with nothing to lose.
As the cleaner for the Royal Bastards, I do the dirty work for the club.
When I’m called in, it’s my job to ensure nothing is left behind.
But it’s the blood that speaks to me, revealing hidden secrets and exposing the truth.
Blood contains all the agony of my past, and I can’t escape it.
Years ago, I loved and lost a young woman and her son.
Two souls ripped away in a cruel twist of fate.
Evil wormed its way into Nevada, and now it’s here again, chasing more innocents.
My heart is dark, the pain buried far down where nothing can reach it.
Until her.
Gina is a single mom with two sweet kids.
She’s beautiful, strong, independent. And so fierce.
When her past comes looking for her, I swear my protection but keep my heart guarded.
I don’t expect a single tattoo in my shop and her blood to reveal more secrets.
Now I’ve got three new souls who need a holiday miracle.
But opening myself up again means trusting fate won’t ruin me a second time.

 

It’s operation Santa Biker, and I intend to give Gina a Christmas to remember.

 

 

Gina:

 

I’m dreading the holidays this year.

 

I’m out of money, overworked, and stressed to the max.
All I want is to give my kids a wonderful Christmas.
Life has other plans.
Broken down for the third time in mere weeks, I’m in tears and alone on the side of the road when a ghost from my past shows up and threatens my life.
The sexy biker that rides in on his iron horse saves me from harm and stirs an itch that I didn’t realize I needed to be scratched.
Diablo is rough, wild, tattooed, and untamed.
He’s also the hottest man I’ve ever met.
A leather-wearing, dirty, delicious holiday treat I don’t dare to indulge.
When my house is broken into and trashed a couple of weeks before Christmas, there’s only one man who can help.
I need a miracle from St. Nick.

 

My secret Santa has a heavy wish list.

 

I just hope he can deliver.

Tour Package ~ The Naughty North Pole Series ~ by ~ Deanna Wadsworth

Author: Deanna Wadsworth
Genres: Christmas Romance, Erotic Romance, MM Romance, Poly Romance, Friends to Lovers 
 
Welcome to the wacky and sexy world that is The Naughty North Pole. In this series you will be treated to a whole new version of Santa’s Workshop, where parties last for days, true love happens over a glass of butterscotch, and the elves have candy-flavored cum. You’ll never think of Christmas the same again!
 
I am Ms. Claus.

Note the Ms. not the Mrs.?

Santa is my twin brother—not sure how the married rumor got started, eeew!—but he runs the North Pole except for that one most magical night of the year: Christmas Eve. When Santa is away, the elves will play. With me, if they’re lucky enough to be picked from my List.

Please, no nice elves need apply. Because I really want to find out how naughty you can be!
 
All Pip wanted when he came to the North Pole as one of Santa’s elves was to belong. He thought he would finally find acceptance by his peers after Santa’s sister Ms. Claus selected him and two elves for a wild night of debauchery on Christmas Eve. Unfortunately, the morning after the hot four-way, it seems Pip’s reputation has gone from juvenile delinquent to tramp.
And to make matters worse, the sexy green-eyed elf Erik appears determined to ignore him despite their Christmas Eve connection. When Santa sends Pip on a special assignment with Erik on Boxing Day, will it be the most awkward day of his life or will Pip get the wish nearest and dearest to his heart?
Since birth, demi-god Nick Claus has heard the demands, wishes and dreams of all humans. Unable to grant the wishes of adults because they want love, health, and peace on Earth—things he cannot provide—Nick has devoted his eternity to granting the wishes of children by bringing them toys on Christmas Eve.
But what about the things Nick wants? Will he ever find the love he craves? Or will he continue to pretend the North Pole has not become lonely and Christmas is all he needs?
Enter Jack Frost.
The winter sprite has been teasing Nick and flirting with him ever since the first kiss they shared, centuries ago. With a saucy proposition, Jack convinces Nick to take a few minutes out for himself despite the busy Christmas season. The catch is, Jack hates Christmas.
Will Nick be able to melt the heart of Jack Frost, or will he end up getting frostbite from this sexy, naughty sprite?

Lars is the sarcastic elf who runs Santa’s Mail Department and he follows the dating rule of “no repeats”. But lately he’s been having a romantic textlationship with another elf, via the dating app Elf4Elf. When his cyber boyfriend goes AWOL after a misunderstanding, Lars realizes too late that there is more to life than sex, work, and cookies.

On Christmas Eve, Santa asks Lars to personally deliver a gift to Rudolph—a former reindeer handler who left the North Pole because of a misunderstanding. Rudolph lives on the secluded Sugar Plum Ridge and the only way to get there is by sleigh. Lars just can’t get a break!

When a sudden blizzard forces the two elves to hole up in Rudolph’s cabin, will they find a way to make their own fun and games or will one surprise ruin it all?

One thing is certain: after this night, they both will believe in the magic of the Naughty North Pole!
 
Ivan has the bad luck to be the only elf at the naughty North Pole with fruitcake-flavored cum—and he’s not telling anyone. When fellow elf Jimmy hits on him, Ivan fears revealing his secret and losing a chance to have a real relationship with the sexy elf.

After all, everybody hates fruitcake!

Danni’s wife Sheila is the Head Chef at the North Pole. Unfortunately, while Sheila hunts for the perfect recipe for fruitcake, she neglects her wifely duties. So when Ivan tells Danni about his dilemma, she devises a plan to solve both of their problems.

Can these two girls help Ivan realize he is perfect just the way he is? Will Danni’s wife perfect her fruitcake recipe with Ivan’s special ingredient? But most importantly, will Ivan have the courage to take Jimmy up on his offer?
 
Deanna Wadsworth might be a bestselling erotica author, but she leads a pretty vanilla life in Ohio with her wonderful husband and a couple adorable cocker spaniels. She has been spinning tales and penning stories since childhood, and her first erotic novella was published in 2010. When she isn’t writing books or brainstorming with friends, you can find her making people gorgeous in a beauty salon. She loves music and dancing, and can often be seen hanging out on the sandbar in the muddy Maumee River or chilling with her hubby and a cocktail in their basement bar. In between all that fun, Deanna cherishes the quiet times when she can let her wildly active imagination have the full run of her mind. Her fascination with people and the innerworkings of their relationships have always inspired her to write romance with spice and love without boundaries.

Twenty years had come and gone.
My brothers were now older with crow’s feet and silvered hair.
Their kids were no longer kids.
Prospects had become brothers, and more had come to take their place.
It was tough to see that everything had changed—
Everything except me.
I was a stone left unturned.
I thought my day would never come.
But then, I saw her.
She had a fire in her eyes and a mouth full of sass.
But she was broken—haunted by a cruel past.
Making her mine wouldn’t be easy, but I was a patient man.
I just had to convince her that I was a chance worth taking.

I’m not the man you’re hoping I am.

Two things that spoke to the bastard lingering inside me.

I tried to tell you, I’m the villain of her story.
But now she’s here, broken by a past I had nothing to do with and damned to a future with a man she doesn’t love. Her family sees her as nothing more than a pawn.
She wants more. And I’m the only one that can give it to her.
Don’t waste your sympathy on him. He’ll get over it. As my brother he should have known, I don’t share well with others.
What? I warned you—I’m not the hero here.
But I am the man she needs.

Every day like clockwork I entered into Fallon’s Bakery. Coffee. That was what I told myself. I was just coming for coffee.
It had absolutely nothing to do with the woman who always had flour on her face, her hair in a messy bun on the top of her head, and a wide smile to greet every single person who entered the store.
Even for me.
The man who ripped out her heart and walked away, never to look back. I was an a$$hole. I’d thought I’d done it for good reasons. But now, all I could do was order my coffee, smile at her and leave.
No way she’d ever give me a shot again. Too bad considering all I could think about was her. She would forgive me. No matter what I had to do.
I was Axton a brother of the Ravage Motorcycle Club and we never gave up. She didn’t know what was going to hit her because I was coming…for her.

EXCERPT

He placed a large palm over her forehead and she squinted up at him from under her lashes.
He had the most perfect symmetrical features—strong jawline, high cheek bones, a full lower lip. And those eyes…which veered in color from a pale olive-green to light brown and were probably technically hazel. They looked way prettier than any other hazel eyes she’d ever seen.
An unwanted quiver of awareness shot down her spine at the reminder of how attractive she’d thought he was when she’d first seen him at the motel about a thousand years ago. But, right now, he was examining her more like he thought she was a recalcitrant little kid with a fever.
