EXCERPT- Under the Stars

“I’ve never asked a boy over, you’re the first.”

“Me? Why me?”

When Christine looked up, her eyes glistened in the moonlight. “I don’t know. We’re both young, but you, us? I can’t explain it. I know you. Something inside me knows you or at least knows your heart. Does that make sense?” She leaned back on the grass, her knees bent as she looked up at the night sky.

I reclined next to her, making sure that our fingers were touching.

“Yeah, I know what you mean.” I was silent for several moments as I looked up at the stars. “The stars are so bright here. Do you know much about them?”

“Some, how about you?”

“Some. Like, I know that’s Orion’s belt, and the bigger, brighter one is Orion.” I pointed to three stars in a row and then one above it. “There’s the Big Dipper and Little Dipper.”

“How about those two bright stars to the left of Orion?”

“No clue.” I tilted my head, squinting and trying to make a shape out of the nearby stars.

“That’s Gemini. This is June, Gemini is the zodiac for June.” Christine placed her hand in mine. “The legend goes, when the two halves of Gemini, Castor and Pollux, were split, they were unhappy. So Zeus put them in the night sky so everyone under the stars would be able to see that the two halves were whole once more.” Christine made me want to be romantic. I’d always thought it was stupid, the way my dad went out of his way to bring my mother flowers. Or how he’d stop all of us from talking just to ask, isn’t your mom beautiful? Now, with Christine next to me, I got it...I totally got it.

Rolling over so I was gazing into her eyes, I stared into their warm, coffee-colored depths, “Asteri mou.” I lowered my lips to hers. “Asteri mou,” I whispered against her closed mouth. Asteri mou, I moaned as she opened, and I slid my tongue in, tasting the sweetness of this girl I wanted to spend every night looking up at the stars with.

Book description: 
We’ve traveled the road with members of the Iron Orchids, now take a turn into three different stories from characters you’ve met along the way.

Under the Stars
You never know when a decision will put you on the path of destiny-
For George Christakos, it was going to Greece and seeing a living, breathing, goddess.
For Christine Petrakis, it was telling the gorgeous, rebellious, bad boy her name.
Now, the two of them will discover if a summer UNDER THE STARS turns into a love that lasts a lifetime.

Dear Juliet
She was used to taking calls and giving love advice.
Now, she’s taking calls and whispering dirty fantasies.
Only problem is, it's the same caller, every night, all night.

Life of Lemons
Lily, was used to the hard life. She hated her job at the diner, she had a zero bank account, and neighbors who didn’t mind their own business.
Callum McGuire, was used to none of that. In fact, he loved his life, he liked his job, and the sassy woman he met at a roadside diner—life wasn’t what was hard when he thought her.

I can explain.
Kind of.
I realize the wig and makeup don’t help my case, but that’s not the point.
The point is, Sebastian came at me first.
He’s the one who started this war, but I’m the one who finished it.
I’m not even sorry about it.
Fine. Maybe I am. A little.
That’s the only explanation as to why I just agreed to play his fake girlfriend so he—we—can win a million dollars in the hottest reality show contest ever filmed on campus.
Don’t get it wrong though, Sebastian and I may look like we love each other, but everyone knows reality TV is nothing but scripted lies and staged kisses.

A self-proclaimed reader enthusiast, Kristy started her writing journey back in 2009, reading and writing when her daughter was napping. Establishing her place in Corporate America (because something had to pay the bills), writing became her dirty, late-night secret.

After eight long years, she released her debut novel, Commander. It was a long road, but she can honestly say, the road less traveled had the most beautiful sights.

The only thing Kristy Marie loves as much as reading and writing is sports! Especially those that require muscles and a nice ass. Her favorite is, and always will be, baseball. She's such a fan, that she even married her small town's high school's centerfielder where they still live with their three badass kids.

Cover Reveal: The Hookup by Kindle Alexander

Title: The Hookup
Author: Kindle Alexander
Genre: M/M Romance Novella
Release Date: October 12, 2020
Cover Design: Reese Dante Book Cover Art & Design
Meet me @ The Hookup?

A well-deserved celebration is in order for attorney Easton Elliott. Everything is going as planned until a tempting glimpse of the past sidebars the handsome attorney’s party.

An unexpected invitation has linguist Grant Holt excited about the spur-of-the-moment rendezvous. But words are futile when he arrives to find there’s been a mix up. 

A text, a celebration, and a misunderstanding all lead to…The Hookup



Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It's always a surprise to see what's coming next!
I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women's hair!
Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life - I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations - regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal... I don't want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm going to tell you about Kindl
I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be alone.
That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.
Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.
Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.

“You cocksucking mother fucker. Who the fuck do you think you are?” For such a little girl, she certainly talks salty. I may have smashed out her back windshield with the head of my cane.

“I gave you a choice. I don’t give a shit about you. I do, however, have a fifty percent right to those puppies. I looked it up, and Doberman Husky hybrids are also known as Dobsky’s and go for up to a grand apiece. From what I saw in that ultrasound, you are putting over six thousand dollars in danger. That’s a felony if she miscarries due to your negligence.”

“You have no right to anything! You-you oh- go fuck your couch.”

“So, I assume the next thing you will be telling me is you’re Rick James.” Her fuck your couch reference was from a comedy sketch by one Dave Chapelle. “You said I was half responsible for them. You have chosen to let her keep them; you are now obligated to do what is in her best interest. That-” I point at the wind tunnel of a car. “Is not, nor would it ever be in her best interest.” I am damn near screaming at her. I very rarely give a shit about anything enough to raise my voice, but when I saw the dog in the cold, I lost my shit.

“You made it a God damned wind tunnel. We were warm for crying out loud. She's fucking fed, watered and walked multiple times a day. She’s anything but fucking neglected. My car now needs a new window. Thanks for that. So much for getting a new place. Why don't you just go rot in hell!”

“You are a stubborn and selfish child. You are going to grab your shit, and we are going back to my place. Once there, we will draw up a contract, and you will perform duties in my home. In exchange, I will provide food, hot water, and lodgings for you and Mia. I will also cover all of her veterinary and dietary needs. Weekends will be your own, and I will pay you eleven hundred dollars each week, once the puppies are born and homed you may go as you please with all of your earnings. Is that understood? Or would you rather see her wind up in a shelter because someone else spots this situation, calls the Dog Warden, and you get arrested for abuse?” I start to walk toward her car and the whining dog. I pull the door open and unlock the passenger side before getting into it myself. I don’t drive, and I don’t intend to.

She takes the cover she's been using and folds it into the back before moving the stuff in the back seat behind it. Making sure the glass is all covered. Patting the back seat for the dog, she gets her covered with blankets, before finally getting in the driver's seat. She doesn't even say another word as she starts the car.

“There. Was that so hard?”

“I'd rather you not talk to me at this moment if you don't mind.”
S.I. (Shannon) Hayes and J. (Jess) Haney have been writing together since 2016. They have a country/city relationship. Shannon is a New Englander Transplanted in Ohio, whereas Jess is a Kentucky Girl through and through. Their dynamics are something to be seen that's for sure!
