"You just did this?" she asked amazed.
Emperor tried to hide the blush, yet seeing the pleasure in her eyes,
felt so good. "I made some calls and got somebody in here to straighten up
the place. I never furnished it and until now it wasn't being used. My ex and I
broke up and we were going to try to stay in the same house together, but she
said she couldn't sleep in my bed anymore.” His tone was remorseful as he
admitted. “I built this back here for her, just so she could stay, so we could

"You didn't Reese. Like I said, it's not you." He handed her an
envelope. "There's the key to this place. I'm the only one that has a spare

There's an electronic opener in the envelop that opens the gate and the garage

"I'm in communications, Reese," he said obviously.
Reese wondered what else he had done to find out about her. Other than
that, she was speechless and overwhelmed at what he had done to the place.

Em twitched his lip and licked them, gritting his teeth from the pain

the pent up energy. It wasn't working, but the pain kept him focused.

"Are you hurt?" she inquired, taking a step to him.
He knew his body wouldn't care about the pain if she stepped any closer.
"I'm fine," he said, stepping. "I’ll be in my office. I'll
leave the kitchen doors unlocked when I'm here." He paused to get control
of himself, really wishing his manhood would quit growing because the elastic
was cutting off the circulation in his thighs yet again. "When you're not
here, it'll be locked, but just write a grocery list and I'll make sure the
kitchen in here is stocked as well."

She couldn’t help, but laugh and covered her mouth with embarrassment.
"I wasn't laughing at you," she admonished, taking his hand in hers.
"Please let me try. It's the least I could do."

Em was mystified at that beautiful laugh she had graced him with. She had

to guide him to a chair in the dining room.

Her fingers were firm and amazingly strong as she kneaded the muscles on
his nape. Em was glad he was sitting with his back to her because she couldn't

stretching down the middle of his thigh. He put his arm on top of it to hide it

Concentrating, she remembered all of Lela's instructions as if the fat
woman was standing right to next to her. With a rhythm, Reese was able to work
each muscle until it was nothing but putty in her hands. When she reached the
spot she knew was bad, because his muscles were way too tight, she leaned up
against him.

He could feel her breast press up against his back and her head dipped
forward. "When I say take a deep breathe, could you do it?" she asked

downwards slowly.

"Now," she hissed sharply.
Just as he took the deep breath, an earth-shattering ache jolted his
body, but that lasted a second as the room began to spin as if there was blood
draining out his back. Had she stabbed him? No, it didn't feel this good to be
stabbed. His eyes were closed so tight and... was that him making that moaning
noise? His face was leaning over the chair as she released her arm around his
waist and massaged his entire back. It felt like he was breathing fresh air and
all the pain was... gone.

Haughtily, she said, “The offer is always open, sir. Any time."
Em left out before he decided to try to offer something more.
As soon as he was gone, she looked around the place. There was the
spacious front room, which combined the living and dining area together with the
kitchen as well, but there was a counter top to separate the kitchen from the
other space. Off to the side was the bathroom and the other side there was a
full size bed with a dresser, television, DVD/VCR combo, and stereo system.
There were balcony doors that led to another smaller Jacuzzi hidden away from
the rest of the house.

SPOTLIGHT: Unbroken by Jamie Forbes via Virtual Author Book Tours @teddyrose1
Publisher: Pronghorn Press
Category: Literary Fiction
Date: May 20, 2010
Available in Paperback: 324 Pages
Meg Braeburn, who has broken away from her family’s ranch, expects hard work when she takes a job on the place neighboring the Swans’. She is determined to leave a troubled past behind, yet she does not foresee how isolation will corrode her resolve. Over time, she is grateful for the friendship and support that Gwen extends to her.
But as the ranching seasons grind relentlessly onward, hearts seek comfort where it can be found and the womens’ bond is strained as both the Swan family and the Braeburn family find themselves struggling against the elements and each other to continue their way of life.
Unbroken, is the 2011 winner of the WILLA Literary Award for outstanding contemporary fiction.
Comments from the WILLA judges:
“Forbes’ debut novel is powerful and she presents a host of characters who are all complex emotionally flawed beings. . .”
“What an amazing story about strength and weakness, and about how grinding disappointment and endless hard work play out in people’s lives.”
Reviews:
“Unbroken is a powerful, absorbing book from the first page to the last. Forbes’ Wyoming ranch background adds rich flavors to the story. The author draws realistic, complex characters. Unbroken is an unvarnished testimonial to a way of life that few of us know.“-Mary E. Trimble, Author
“Jamie Lisa Forbes’ exquisitely written debut work, “Unbroken”, has a permanent place in my heart. The author’s own early years on a Wyoming ranch add an insider’s observations which enrich the story line and bring vivid, fully-fleshed life to the characters. The author’s subtle storytelling places us right into the lives of these characters, sharing with them their tragedies and triumphs. In an intimate, involving manner we follow them through with their starts, stops, and restarts, and we want so much for them to find peaceful resolution. “Unbroken” is unforgettable.”-Virginia Campbell, Vine Voice: Amazon Reviewer
“I was roped into the story by the lyrical poetic style of the author from page one. To my surprise–I never thought I would be interested in reading about ranching life and wrangling cows–I could not put the book down until I’d read the last page. I recommend this very well-written novel to everyone. It left me with a sense of enrichment, of knowing and feeling more than before the reading. Truly a great book!- Nel Rand,Amazon Reviewer
“What a thoroughly absorbing and entertaining story, told by a first time author! I was impressed on so many levels. The story itself held interest, the manner in which it was told and the descriptions of a life few of us know about as well as the pace and timing of the story, were done with the flare of a far more experienced author. This book should appeal to both men and women.- BassLady, Amazon

BIO:
Q.B. Wells is the publisher of Art Official Media LLC and an author living in Baltimore City, Maryland. He has written books (Blackface,
Doughboy), book reviews, articles and essays about urban literature and culture for The Urban Book Source, Urbania Magazine and
www.UrbaniaMag.com . A member of the Independent Book Publishers Association, Q.B. Wells presents workshops on publishing at local community centers and organizations. A visionary and entrepreneur, Q.B. Wells taught with the Baltimore City Public School System for several years before transitioning into teaching writing classes at Towson University. One Hundred Miles and Running (Blackface 2) is his second novel.
Get to know the author:
1. Introduce yourself and style of writing to readers.
My name is Q.B. Wells. My writing style is topical, aggressive and
plot driven. My books can be found on the shelves next to other urban
book titles but I think they are more crime fiction.
2. With the onslaught of books available to the public, what can you do
to get your books into the hands of readers?
Meet and engage readers in person and not only online. Sometimes I
find readers have bought my books because of the urban fiction genre.
I’m more excited when I find readers that picked up the book because
they met me in person and invested their time.
3. What will readers enjoy most about One Hundred Miles and Running?
Readers will enjoy the action, plot and the humor of the narrative.
The book is a lot faster paced and more suspenseful than Blackface.
And they will be delighted that there is a female protagonist. Finally
will like to see the growth in the characters.
4. Where did you get the idea and inspiration to write One Hundred Miles
and Running?
One Hundred Miles and Running (Blackface 2) is the second book in the
Blackface Trilogy. I had to continue to give the readers what they
wanted and chose the characters to follow based on reader feedback.
5. Where do you foresee yourself 12 months from today?
Publishing some great books and authors. I hope to publish some of my
nonfiction work and looking to shoot a short film or documentary.
Some form of film from an Art Official Media title is a goal in the
next year.
6. What is next and how can readers contact you?
