RELEASE DAY - Rule Breaker by Lily Harlem

Rule Breaker by Lily Harlem



Rule Breaker, a dark erotic romance novel by Lily Harlem, is out now from Totally Bound and all other good ebook retailers Amazon   Amazon UK ARe Kobo B&N Sony ibooks .

Back Cover Information

Prison bars

Locks, keys and prison bars can’t contain a love that’s meant to roam wild and free, but when that love is let loose, will Lacey be able to handle what’s heading her way?

Rules are meant to protect the innocent and keep danger at bay—except for me. The lines blur, and it all started when I met the ultimate bad boy. But is he? Miller Davenport might be big, bad and brimming with sin but he’s confessed his crimes and for ten years he’s served his time and walked the line.

Everyone deserves a second chance, right? And as his nurse—the one person who understands him—I can’t help but count the days till we can be together properly, without guards watching over us and without every look and word we share censored.

When that day comes, though, will our desire for each other explode and take me to the new heights he’s promised? And if so, how will I survive such intensity?
One thing is for sure. With Miller I’ll be whisked up in a whirlwind of his dark energy and a tornado of his lust, and likely taken to the very edge of what I can handle. I can’t help a few nerves, though, as release day approaches, because if it all comes crashing down, who can I depend on when I’ve ridden into the sunset with a man who’s broken all the rules? Will I be saved or will I have pushed everyone and everything too far?

Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes of exhibitionism, anal play and light restraint.

Excerpt

Miller

“Yeah.” He nodded. “Yeah, you’re right. I’ll just go with the first one they show me. Fuck it, it’s a cake shop. They’ll all be bloody nice.” He glanced at Miller then back to me. “Do you mind if I make a call while you—?”
“Not at all, go ahead.” I waved him to the seat. “This is my last time with Miller anyway, so I’m sure he’ll behave.”
Miller’s jaw was tense. His eyebrows drew low and a small muscle flexed in his cheek.
Barry pulled out his phone and, without glancing at me again, dropped his bulk into the chair—the legs scraped on the hard floor. He started scrolling over the screen.
“Come on,” I said to Miller.
He followed me into the clinical room.
I walked up to the counter and reached for my tray of equipment.
“Lacey.”
I startled. He was right behind me.
He set his hands on the work surface, one either side of my body, trapping me against it with his torso.
“What?” I whispered, glancing at the door, my head brushing his.
“Tomorrow,” he murmured, his mouth right against my ear.
A thrill and a chill went through me as my neck and scalp tingled and tightened at his nearness.
“What about it?” I placed my right hand over his, cupping his hard knuckles. It was a bold move, but touching him was what I craved—I couldn’t help myself.
I heard him pull in a breath. “Meet me.”
“Where?”
“Anywhere you fucking want. Just be there.” He paused and pushed a little harder against me.
His groin, the outline of his cock, semi-hard, nestled against the crack of my buttocks. Lust blazed through my veins. Damn it, tomorrow was too long to wait.
But we had to.
“There’s a pub, round the corner from here,” I said. “The Cow and Slipper.”
He turned his hand and gripped my forearm. His fingertips pressed over my pulse points, his fingers were big and dark against the delicate veiny underside of my wrist.
“I’ll be there at noon,” he said.
“So will I.”
“Thank you.” He pressed his cheek against my ear. The weight of his head was heavy against mine.
I leaned into him. The daring, risky move heightened all of my senses. His chest against my shoulders, his breath on my cheek and his stubble against my temple. And damn, his body shoved into mine, his cock pushing through clothes against my arse. I wanted it. All of it.
“We’ll take it slow,” he whispered. “Get to know each other without a boss watching over us. Speak freely about what we want. I’m not in it for a lay. What we have is special. I’m doing this because I want you—always have, from the first time I saw you.” He paused. “But you know that.”
I swallowed and turned. I did know that.
He released my wrist.
I looked up at him. This was the closest we’d ever been. I was surrounded by him, wrapped up in him. It was where I wanted to be.
He leaned a little closer and his chest brushed against mine.
My nipples drew into pinched peaks, scraping against the inner cups of my bra.
“I thought of you last night,” he said. He lifted his hand and caressed my cheek. The small hard patches of skin, from where he banged weights, scratched against my flesh.
“What did you think?” I asked, my hands hovering. I wanted to touch him but didn’t dare, for fear that I wouldn’t be able to stop.
I glanced at the door again.
“Shh, it’s okay. I can still hear him talking,” he said.
“Maybe you should tell me tomorrow, when we don’t have to rush.” My heart was racing, adrenaline swamping my system. The thought of Barry catching us like this had me on a knife’s edge, but I couldn’t push Miller away. Barry had been instructed to behave like Miller might be a danger to me, yet I’d never felt safer than at this moment with Miller’s full attention—with Miller, big, bad now-tamed Miller, looming over me.
I knew what he was, what he was capable of, but he’d been reformed. He was being let out. The judge, the crown, had decided he’d paid for his crimes and he was no longer a danger to society.
Which meant he wasn’t a danger to me.
“I’ll tell you tomorrow then,” he said, lowering his head. “If that’s what you want.”
I stared into his dark eyes, at the way his lashes pointed slightly downward. They weren’t curled, and he had a tiny freckle like a teardrop under his left eye. I hadn’t noticed that before. Hadn’t been close enough.
“I’ll look after you, hen,” he whispered. “Don’t ever be afraid of me. I’m not violent. I’m a good man now. I’ll be your good man for as long as you’ll have me. I promise. I won’t hurt you.”
“I’m not…scared, that is.”
“Good.” He leaned closer still. I looked at his lips. I could see every tiny dent and crease on them, his top one was thinner than the bottom and with stubble peppered right up to the outline.
Fuck, is he going to kiss me?
We couldn’t.
Not here.
Not now.
“No,” I mouthed.
He pressed his closed lips to mine. They were dry, yet soft. He held my head in both of his hands and pushed his hard body forward, trapping me against the counter.
I whimpered and clung to his forearms. Terror and desire warred within me. I’d lose my job. He could lose his good-behavior privilege and be held for the remainder of his sentence.
It was the most reckless kiss I’d ever experienced, yet also the gentlest, sweetest connection I could ever remember.
He pulled back.
I opened my eyes.
His were still shut.
He furled his tongue over his bottom lip, as though tasting me there.
“Jesus,” he said quietly. “How the hell am I going to get through this last night without you?”
“Stop.” I rested my hands on his chest and pushed. “Please, save this for tomorrow.” Again I threw a glance at the door.
“Okay.” He opened his eyes, released me and stepped back. He held up his palms as if surrendering. “This last bit is the hardest though. I guess it’s like running a marathon. It’s all shit but the last mile? The last hundred yards? That’s what really gets you here.” He banged his chest. “It’s the shitiest bit.”
“I suppose.” I rubbed the tip of my index finger on my lips, reliving the sensation of his mouth on mine.
“Fucking genius you are, Lacey,” Barry said, walking in.
A flash of surprise went over Miller’s face.
Alarm must have crossed mine too.
Neither of us had heard him finish his conversation or been aware of him approaching the clinical room.
Bloody hell. If he’d come in ten seconds ago…no, make that five seconds ago.

In Expert Hands by Lily Harlem


Kane Ward is a successful businessman who is used to getting exactly what he wants in life. His exceptional good looks, unwavering charm and sleek sophistication mean that he's a sure hit with everyone he meets, especially the ladies. Oh, and did I mention he's also a billionaire ...what more could a girl possibly want?! 
Imogen White is a high-flying, independent woman to whom her job as bank manager means everything. She's worked so hard to achieve all that she has and cherishes it with everything. Her family, friends and career are the most important things in her life, meaning that there is very little room for a man. Each time Kane Ward, one of her most important clients, steps into her office for a meeting, she can't seem to shake the carnal thoughts which engulf her brain. 
Little does she know that Kane Ward has indeed for a very long time, been having these same thoughts, only he's decided that now is time to act!
Will she fall for his charms and allow herself to be led into the unknown and taken on a world of sexual discovery, or are their worlds just so far apart that they could never meet?

WOW, WOW, WOW!! Lily has absolutely excelled herself with this novel and it's exceptionally deep story of love, honour and most importantly, trust. The way the characters are cleverly brought together and Kanes' alternative lifestyle is slowly introduced is so well written ....it's almost like bearing witness to a private striptease. Each page you read, another layer is removed. My imagination literally went into overdrive and I found myself grabbing my phone at any given opportunity just to see what lay in store next. I really loved Imogens character - a good, strong, sexy, independent woman who knows exactly what she wants to achieve and how to achieve it, or at least she did until Kane Ward came along and blew everything out the water, introducing her to a lifestyle she'd barely even heard of, never mind experienced. As for Kane, well what can I say about him except I WANT ONE!! He gives a whole new meaning to tall, dark and handsome. There's an air of mystery which surrounds him and makes him all the more appealing. He's also a man who knows what he wants and is damn good at getting it too ...he could order me round any day! I totally fell in love with him and wanted to learn more about this intriguing character. I also thank Lily for giving a deeper understanding of the BDSM lifestyle and what it actually means to be a Dom - something I only had vague knowledge about before reading this but found really interesting.

Overall I would definitely recommend this book as it has everything needed to whet your appetite and more!

Caught on Camera by Lily Harlem


Everyday decorator, Reece Carter has his world turned upside down when he encounters handsome gardener Cade Davenport for the first time. Going about his daily decorating job, Reece can't help but notice the hunky gardener with his bulging muscles and it isn't long before he lets his imagination run wild.
He takes 5 mins to just stand and drink in the fine form of this man who is expertly tackling the lawn ....only to be caught! Reece plucks up enough confidence to go and offer Cade a drink and it isn't long before things turn a little naughty.
It's been a long time since Reece has had any male attention and is amazed by how much he craves the feel of another man. What follows is hard, fast, horny, rampant sex in various locations around the garden as Cade certainly seems to know what he's doing. The early arrival of the occupants of the house soon puts a stop to their antics, but Reece can't help but wonder if more is to come. Cade had really left his mark on him and he couldn't wait to hopefully meet up again.
It seems that Cade had similar ideas when he later sends Reece a text message, but all is not as it seems!

Lily writes with such passion and vigour making this a really hot little read. It's the first book M/M book I've read and although I did struggle a little, I still really enjoyed it. I look forward to reading part 2.
