Emperor’s Addiction Excerpt


The one woman he knew he should never EVER touch is the one that can cure the pain that he's endured his whole life.



With promises broken, lines crossed, morals forgotten and a woman with a mysterious past, he's dead set on making her...



EMPEROR’S HEART




CHAPTER 1


The harder he hit, the more it hurt, so he pressed his whole weight into it and knocked it repeatedly until his back was screaming with pain. Yet, it felt good. It felt so good to feel the hot steak run down his spine and grip his muscles until he felt like his whole body was going to collapse. Pausing for a moment to wipe the sweat off his face, he quickly started back up again ignoring the pain as much as he could, but when it got really bad, he would bite his lip and keep going...READ MORE

Her issues with trust have her impervious to love.that is until she meets Oricho Hamilton, a man that has the world in the palm of his hand. Oricho is a player on a mission.

But when Erin crosses his path, she touches his soul like no woman ever has before. When they find each other it's a match made in heaven. But both of their pasts threaten the connection. When tragedy strikes, their love is tested in ways that they would never imagine.

Live Story to Come: Emperor's Addiction



Yes, I know you wanted Stealing Innocence III, but before I could do this justice, you had to be introduced to one more character who is going to be a pivotal force in the Heart and Bellini world.





She's in this book and I needed to get this one out before that one can be released.





The one woman he knew he should never EVER touch is the one that can cure the pain that he’s endured his whole life.

With promises broken, lines crossed and a woman with a mysterious past, he’s dead set on making her his ….

Pursuing Mrs. Regrets live story by (reader & author) Suprina Frazier

FYI, reader and author, Suprina Frazier has started her live story, Pursuing Mrs. Regrets, so while you're waiting on me, check her out, comment a lot and keep her encouraged.

You go gurl!!

Foreword: This book contains some very sensitive subject matter. It is intended for mature audiences only - eighteen (18) and up.

About Story:
Delia Valentine is married to her regrets, which makes it impossible for any man to get next to her. Her biggest regret is killing the father of her children. If only E-Blade hadn’t slept with her cousin Cami. Then maybe he wouldn’t be dead, Cami wouldn’t be in prison, and Delia wouldn’t feel so undeserving of love.

Royal Seeger knows all about Delia’s past. And yet he still loves and wants her. More importantly, he still wants a life with her. Yet a mystery man with three aliases poses a serious threat to Royal and Delia’s union. This same mystery man has Delia at a major crossroad.

Will she stay and embrace a full life with Royal? Or will Delia go with the mystery man and try to recapture what was lost?


Here's the first chapter to start you off:

His Substitute Wife... Links and last comments from Author

Good morning guys


Just in case you didn't get the notice, I'm done and finished with the book.

To download the PDF, please go to: http://www.lulu.com/content/1414554

With Thursday being around the corner, I have compiled the HTML for the book.








Click the Buy NOw button to purchase your copy if you cannot download it from Lulu or do not want the PDF.



If you've had trouble downloading, please email hubbooks@yahoo.com with the receipt and it'll be resolve asap.


Since the book is so large, I have placed the price at only $1.50. I usually make it a dollar in it's first week, but this was like blood sweet and tears and it's word count is equal to almost two books. After Monday, that price will no longer be available and the book will be online for $3.00.


I think I ended it well. I don't think I left any stone unturned and I hope I have given you a very fun ride for the money.


I want to thank all of you for your support to my literary endeavors and please please tell others about me and encourage them to come to the site to purchase my books.


Your support is so appreciated and your word of mouth is so wanted and needed.


I've had three request for the next live story and I've love to hear what you think...



  • Emperor's Heart

  • Stealing Innocence III: Lethal Heart

  • King's Paradise

(post your opinion in the comments and we'll see. I'm not promising anything, but your consideration will be taken into account for the decision.)

His Substitute Wife... My Sister ... is ready for downloading

But before I release it. . .



I do have to give the people who donated a chance to read it first.



What took so long?



Since I switched flashes like three and four times during the story and bumped from a 2000 to a 2007 system the formatting was so durn whacked that I ended up almost retyping sections or reformatting several chapters. Eight chapters had no tabbing at all that carried over from the original and then sometimes in the document you're going to see misspellings in England English rather than American English (because I had to also switch templates because the one from Lulu was corrupted with lines all throughout the middle of the stories or at the ends or at any other place it just felt like putting it.)



I'm hoping it looks okay.



Now for the ones that need HTML, I'll have that ready by Thursday and post a blog that you can purchase straight through this website. I'm sorry for the wait and thank you so much for your patience.



When is the next story and what is it?



I have no idea right now, but I'm leaning heavily toward SI3.



I'm so exhausted mentally. It was like running a race for two months and not stopping and now my brain needs a long break. We'll start the next one probably in June so keep a look out for it and sign up to be notified if you haven't either through the yahoo group or on this blog itself.

Waiting on the story...

good afternoon...

yes, I said good afternoon, because I'm just getting to work.

I got a ticket about three months ago for three driving infractions and do you know i've been at the court since 8 am and just getting out.

Usually I pay for it and let it go, but this time, I thought I should fight it. plus sistah don't have the money.

I sat there for two hours waiting for the judge to even come to the court room and then I sat through case after case until my battery ran out on my laptop.

Well after everything and all the waiting, the officer threw everything out.

Completely and i was back out on the street, very late for work and with no writing done, which I had planned to upload the story by now.

Well, now i'm at work and the uploading might not be done until tomorrow. I still have to do a spell check and go over the last chapter which I typed while I was waiting for the judge and people were staring at me like I had lost my mind or was very upset as I cried.

And I'm sooooo sorry for your wait.

For all of those donations I received while doing the book, if you want to make sure you get your book first, please forward your receipt email to hubbooks@yahoo.com. (It has to be a donation made between Jan 1st, 2008 and now.

You get first dibs.

If you can't find it, just email me and let me know and I'll do a search for you.

I'm going as fast as humanly possible.

Thanks for your patience.
