ABOUT
Laurie Roma lives in Chicago and
is the author of the IAD and Arcadian series. She has always loved immersing
herself in a good book and now enjoys the pleasure of creating her own. She can
usually be found tapping away on her keyboard, creating worlds for her
characters while she listens to music. Of course her playlist depends on her
mood…but then again, so does her writing.
An avid reader of the
romance genre, nothing bothers her more than annoying characters. Seriously,
who wants a happy ending for someone that pisses you off? She loves tough
alpha-male heroes and strong heroines that have brains as well as beauty. Her
novels are filled with both passionate romance and down and dirty lust-driven
interludes, as she believes both are essential to a good love story. She loves
to hear from her readers and can be reached at laurieromabooks@gmail.com.
Deadly Target
IAD Agency 3
IAD agent Mikayla “Lynx”
Lincoln is in desperate need of a vacation after taking a bullet during her
last mission. On orders to relax and recover, she's sent to a cabin in the
secluded woods of Colorado for some peace and quiet. But her plans for a
restful recovery are shot to hell the moment she crosses paths with former movie
star, Gage Stark.
Gage Stark is a man with a
troubled past. After a brutal betrayal ended his promising acting career, he
returned home to heal and start a new life. The moment Gage meets Mikayla their
chemistry is too strong to deny. Passion explodes every time they're together
and their volatile relationship is anything but quiet.
When a shocking discovery
is made and secrets are revealed, trust is put to the test. Will Gage be strong
enough to stand beside Mikayla and fight, or will his need to protect her
shatter the fragile bond between them?
Adult Excerpt
“What are you doing?”
“What does it look like I’m
doing?” Mikayla whispered as her hands slid down his chest, over his taunt abs
until they reached the front of his jeans.
His breath hissed out as
she began working the top button of his jeans opened while her other hand
stroked over the rigid length of his cock through the thin material. “Jesus,
Mikayla. This room doesn’t have a lock. We can’t do this here.”
Mikayla laughed at the
incredulous look on his face as she drew the zipper of his jeans down, allowing
the thick, hard length of his to spring free. She took his cock in her hand,
pleased that her fingertips didn’t touch around his thick shaft. She nipped at
his chin with her teeth as she began stroking his cock, rubbing the pearl of
pre-cum weeping at the tip with her thumb.
“Don’t tell me the great
Gage Stark is worried about someone seeing us.”
His eyes widened in
surprise even as the lust flared brighter in his emerald green eyes. “You aren’t?”
Mikayla shrugged. “You
started this. Now I’m aching and want you to finish it. Finish me, come on,
Gage. I dare you.”
Fucking hell, she was
trying to kill him.
Gage’s breath left in a
rush. Christ, he felt like someone had sucker punched him. His body burned with
a possessive fire as his mind snapped off, and he began pulling at her pants
with shaking hands. Thank god for elastic, he thought gleefully as he shoved
the black pants down her legs easily, remembering at the last moment to be
careful of the bandage on her thigh.
Fuck him, he wanted to
devour her, to eat her up with big greedy bites. And he would, but not here.
Not know when anyone could walk in and see them. He’d be damned if he let anyone
see his woman naked.
And she was his.
God help her, he was hers,
too. She literally had him by the cock, and he felt like he would die if he
didn’t pound himself inside her until neither of them could move. His cock was
throbbing painfully, wanting to be inside the tight depths of her pussy again.
Gage gritted his teeth as
he felt his cock harden in her tiny hand as all the blood in his head rushed
down to his groin. His erection was heavy, thick and pulsing, and ready to fuck
her until she begged him to stop.
He stepped back, groaning
as she refused to release his cock. Instead, she tightened her grip on him as
he quickly removed her pants from one of her legs so he could spread her wide.
He looked down at her pussy on display for him, wanting to pound himself inside
that little hole. Hell, the entire bar could walk in at that moment and he
wouldn’t be able to stop himself from fucking her.
He grabbed her hips and
slid her forward so she was sitting at the edge of the table. She wound her
long legs around him again, pulling him closer. His hand slid down stroking his
fingers down her slit, spreading her juices. She used her legs to pull him
tighter against her.
“Wait, baby. I gotta get
you ready for me.” Gage breathed out on a laugh. “Don’t you want any foreplay?”
“Fuck the foreplay. I want to feel you inside
me again, Gage. I need it.”
Gage growled as he jerked
her head back to once again feast on her mouth as she guided his cock into her
hot, wet pussy. Breathing heavily, Mikayla moaned into his mouth as he slid
forward, burying himself into her until the mushroomed head of his cock was
tight against the entrance to her womb,
“God, you feel so good,
baby. So tight and so fucking perfect. Your pussy hugs my cock like it was made
to be inside you.” Gage’s voice was thick with lust. His bright-green eyes
gleamed with a hunger he could barely control.
“Gage, I need you to…”
Mikayla moaned.
“What, baby?” Gage
growled. “Tell me what you need, and I’ll give it to you.”
Mikayla's eyes opened and
narrowed on his face as she saw the tight clench of his jaw. He was making her
crazy, and still he held on to the thin edge of his control. No, that wouldn’t
do. If she had no control, then neither would he. She gripped his hair tight in
her hand and bit down on his lower lip. “I need you to fuck me. Fuck me hard,
Gage. Shove your big dick inside me and make me come.”
Fuck!
With no warning, Gage did
exactly what she asked and began pumping hard into her, shoving his cock into
her hot little hole, tearing a strangled scream from her throat that he muffled
with his own mouth. He hummed low in his throat as he moved down, his teeth
savaging her neck, nipping and lapped at the soft flesh there.
“Oh god,” Mikayla groaned,
letting him know exactly what he was doing to her. “Gage, gimme more. Give it
to me.”
The Inside Scoop
Q. Do you work best on a deadline, or do you need
freedom from time constraints?
A. I would say I need
freedom from time constraints to write my stories. I don't like rushing to hit
a certain word count. If I did, I think my writing would suffer. My storylines
tend to be complex and so are my characters, which takes a great deal of time
and patience to create. With that said, I do set my own tentative deadlines to
make sure I'm not slacking or procrastinating.
Q. Is there a word or phrase you catch yourself
overusing?
A. Cock. Yep, there are
only so many ways you can say it. And when you write long, detailed sex scenes
the word tends to gets thrown around a lot. But it is effective when you whip
it out and use it. *wink wink*
Q. How do you know you’ve written a good book?
A. When I type the words
THE END. Seriously, I won't end a book if I'm not fully satisfied with it.
Sure, I need to go back and make edits, but I also do that along the way. If
I'm not ready to type those two little words then it isn't good enough to
deserve being finished.
Q. How do you keep your characters and stories
organized?
A. Okay, I'm going to
admit this. I have a spreadsheet. Yes, a spreadsheet. Since the worlds that I
create have numerous secondary characters, I have to keep track of them
somehow. I also need to make sure everyone has their own distinct personality
traits and physical appearance. Feel free to laugh now.
Q. Are you a Swooper (write first, edit later,) a
Basher (edit each sentence as you go,) or both?
A. I'm a combination
Swooper and Basher. What does that mean? I will write out a scene then go back
and edit the hell out of it before moving on.
Q. What is the one thing you must have to be able to
write?
A. Diet coke. I am
addicted.
10. What are you currently working on? How is it
different from other books you’ve written?
I'm currently working on
book 2 of my Arcadians series. This one is different than the first book of the
series because the heroine, who is transported to a strange new world, has a
natural ability to block out the blood bond her new mates have formed with her.
Is this a problem? It certainly is for her mates. LOL
Q. What types of scenes are your favorite to write?
A. My favorite scenes to
write are the ensemble scenes, when multiple characters are interacting with
each other. Then again, they're also the scenes that are the biggest pain in
the ass to write. What does that say about me? lol
Q. Do you prefer to write 1st or 3rd
Person POV? Why?
A. I tend to write in
third person omniscient so I'm not limited to a single character's perspective.
It gives me the freedom to tell the story more completely and allows my readers
a better understanding of all my characters through their thoughts and
feelings. This is different than 3rd person limited, which is the current trend
for most erotic romance authors, but my opinion is 3rd person omni is the way
to go.
