Excerpt:
The bar was crowded, so I scooted between two men who had their backs to each other and waited to get the bartender’s attention. She patrolled the bar, pouring a few drinks before she headed my way. Then she passed right by me and started talking to the gentleman next to me, never once looking in my direction. I looked down at his full drink; he didn’t need anything from her.
Seriously?
He wore perfectly tailored designer suit pants which hugged his ass and sculpted legs. His fitted, light gray shirt wrapped around his trim torso and arms like it was custom-made. He was tall and handsome, from the side at least, and totally fuckable. He looks like the kind of guy who’d give me that up-all-night-making-my-body-ache-so-I-can-no-longer-walk-the-next-day kind of sex.
Wow. I seriously need to get laid.
I closed my eyes for a brief second as I tried to calm my raging hormones. When I reopened them, he was staring right back at me.
Fuck me.
He wasn’t sexy. No, that word wasn’t enough to describe what this man was. He was an alluring come-hitter, as Kennedy would call him—guaranteed to make you come every time he hit it. It was dark so his facial features were hard to make out, but from his strong jawline I could tell he looked manly. He smiled, and as the light at Quay changed, I noticed his hazel eyes scanning me from head to toe. My body ignited with desire.
“May I buy you a drink?” he offered. His velvet voice would make any girl melt.
I inhaled deeply, trying to calm my rapid pulse. “No, thanks. I’ve got it as soon as someone starts doing their job.” I locked my eyes on the pink-haired bartender.
Completely oblivious to anyone at the bar who didn’t have a penis between their legs, she walked away when a guy across the bar shouted for her. Sighing, I waited impatiently.
“Let me buy you a drink,” he insisted. “What do you want? Long Island or sex on the beach?”
Really? Was this sex on a stick seriously trying to pick me up when minutes before he was flirting with the bartender? Who did this guy think he was, with his fancy clothes and preconceived notions about a woman’s taste in alcohol? Did he assume every girl drank only those two drinks? I had planned on getting a Long Island, but based on his assumption and arrogance, I decided to make a statement and order something over-the-top.
“Since you insist, I’ll have a Louis the thirteenth.” I met his eyes in challenge, puckering my lips as I waited for his response.
His eyebrow rose and a smirk appeared on his face. “Interesting.” The word poured out of his mouth like silk. I shrugged my shoulders, affecting nonchalance as he took another moment to study me. Calling over to the bartender—who jumped when she heard his voice—he ordered my drink.
“What’s your name, beautiful?” he asked, moving his body closer to mine. I laughed before I shook my head at him. “I just bought you a drink. The least you could do is give me your name.”
“The least, huh?”
“Yes, the least. I want to make sure I know the name of the woman who’s going home with me later.”
When the bartender slid the drink in front of him, I reached across and grabbed the snifter. His eyes locked with mine, but I didn’t say anything. I just lifted my eyebrow, smirked, and walked away. If he was expecting a quick fuck as a thank you, he wasn’t getting it from me.
Asshole.
I didn’t care how scorchingly yummy he was, I refused to be added to his list of drooling girls.

How did you develop your characters for Consensual?
In Consensual you get to meet Braelynn Wolf. I wanted her to be strong, hence her profession and her passion behind it. I also feel that with a great female lead she needs to have a great friends. Hence Gustavo and Kennedy. I wanted to stay away from the typical millionaire best friends and made them all hard working young adults in there early to mid twenties trying to survive work, life, and love in New York City. Haas was my favorite character to write. In my head he is dreamy, and my ideal man. He has money though he doesn’t flaunt it. He has great family values and I love everything about him including his mouth.
