About the Author:

HL Parker is quite frankly a busy bee.

An avid reader as a child her love for all things written waned into adulthood, the excitement of real life things taking over. But when her life slowed down as she finished her office job for maternity leave her husband purchased her an ereader and that obsession was rekindled.

Quickly she went from reader to reviewer, and then from reviewer to blogger; street teams and promo tours galore. When she began collating her own book boxes over at Romance Readers Book Box UK and the opportunity to include her own words and world, the characters began talking.

Those cheeky characters quickly found themselves down on the page and her first series was in progress.

When she is not coordinating her worlds, you can find her running around after her free-spirited three children, and husband, or tending to the dogs, bearded dragons, and snakes that also reside with them.

A break can be found soaking in a bubby bath or enjoying a glass of wine, often still with a book in her hand.

Release Blitz with Excerpt + Teaser + Giveaway: Claimed by the CEO by Corinne Mazille @EJBookPromos

Claimed by the CEO by Corinne Mazille

Series: Woodmeadows Pack #1

Publication date: April 27th, 2021

Synopsis:

Axel

As alpha of the pack and CEO of a growing tech company, I have a lot on my plate. I don't have time for distractions.

What I need is someone who can manage my schedule or at least answer the damn phone correctly. Someone reliable and efficient, someone who will make my job a hell of a lot easier.

What I don't need is a complication like Holly. When my sister brought her in for the job, she seemed like the perfect candidate -- maybe even over qualified. I hired her on the spot. That was a mistake.

Now all I can think about is taking my new PA and bending her over my desk -- making her mine.

Jessica

Personal assistant to the illustrious, sexy as sin Axel Steele; what could possibly go wrong...

I've wanted a change of scenery for as long as I can remember. And losing my job, it seemed like the perfect time to start over and take a chance working for my best friend's brother.

The job was easy, but not fraternizing, well that was a little more difficult. Especially when we go away for business trip and can't keep our hands off each other.

But there's more to Axel than I realized and I find myself caught up on a world I didn't even know existed. I wasn't just sleeping with my boss. I was falling for the alpha.

Excerpt

"Wait, please." I grab onto his arm, making him stop and look at my hand on him. "Come on, she's a big girl. You've got to know she's not a virgin anymore. She is twenty-four."

He growls like a full-on growl.

"Whoa!" I tighten my hands on him. "Okay, maybe you think she is. Okay then, let's say she is. Can you take me home, please? I'd like that ride now."

He shakes me off, walking out into the night and toward a set of stairs that must go up to an apartment above the bar.

Shit, shit, shit! I have to stop him.

Scrambling through my brain, I think back to our college days.

What would Holly do?

She would throw herself at him.

Okay, I can do that, I think...

I dart around him, climbing a few steps before turning to face him, the extra steps putting me at his eye level. The intensity of his proximity and heated stare nearly makes me falter, my heart pounding loudly--the chocolate of his eyes now almost golden. I place my hands on his chest to stop him, but he doesn't appear happy. Come on, Jess, you need to do something, and quickly. You need to do more.

Gliding my hands over his chest and down to what feels like an eight-pack, we both drop our gaze to my fingers moving freely over his body, so hard and strong. Wow, I have never felt such a rock-hard body. Seen, yes, but not touch like I'm doing right now.

His chest rises and falls in rapid pumps while his eyes stay glued to my movements, making me realize this surprise touching is affecting us both. Our heavy breaths the only thing between us. His grip on the handrail tightens, and his other hand flexes then curls to make a fist. I lean forward, and while he's distracted, I gently touch my lips to his, faltering forward when I do, electricity coursing through me and making me feel alive. Luckily, he breaks my fall by wrapping his arms around my back and under my ass before lifting me, forcing my legs around him. I deepen the kiss, needing more of everything he can give me, and when he makes a noise that's a mix between a growl and a moan, I know he has the ability to take me to sexual heights I've never been.

I'm so lost in our dueling tongues that I don't realize he has started to climb while carrying me. I'm impressed--at my height, no one has ever lifted me, let alone carried me up steps.

"Why are we moving?" I ask breathlessly, my hands frantically roaming his head and pushing him closer to me before I latch back onto his lips.

As I let out a moan, his fingers clench my ass, and I drop one hand and lift the hem of his shirt to feel his warm skin. Unceremoniously, he loosens his hold on me, nearly making me fall over as I plant my feet back on the ground. He steadies me before taking a step back and dropping his hands. He fixes his shirt and runs his hands through his hair as he takes a few deep breaths before turning away from me and banging relentlessly on the door.

Huh? Maybe he didn't feel the same burning heat at our connection like I did. And dammit, I've seen Holly make this move back in our college days, and she never got rejected.

"Open up now, Scott. Holly... get your ass out here now," he bellows.

The door cracks open after a few minutes, revealing who I now know as Scott, shirtless in only his jeans, which are not zipped, and... "Oh wow!" I say, exhaling.

Holly's brother snaps his head to gape at me, his eyebrows furrowed.

About the Author:

My name is Corinne Mazille, and I love to write romance in all different tropes. I started writing a lot later in life, but once an idea formed in my head after reading hundreds of books, I couldn't stop. Coming up with characters and worlds is so much fun, and I can't wait until I can do this fulltime.

I never really thought of myself as being artistic, but years ago, I did start a makeup course because I would have loved to work on movie sets, but real life got in the way and a job opportunity arose that I couldn't turn down. But I still have a massive love of makeup and can very easily spend hours watching makeup tutorials on YouTube.

And I am blessed with a daughter who I have trained well. She loves to play with makeup, although I do find pieces missing from time to time.

We are also huge Disney fans in this house, and we are currently planning our next trip, this time hoping to get to Disney World.

Q: What book do you think everyone should read?

As I read more and more books, the one I recommend is always changing. I'll have one for a few months that I love and want everyone to hear about, and then I find a new one that's just as amazing. For the last few weeks, I've been really high on the book "Where the Crawdads Sing" by Delia Owens. It's constantly on the top charts, so likely some of you have already read it, but for everyone who hasn't, I highly recommend!

I will admit the book is tough at first. There's a lot of long, beautiful descriptions, and the plot is slow at first, but once you get in deep it grabs you by the throat. Those beautiful descriptions that are laborious at first become key to understanding the book and its plot. Reading it made me feel more connected with nature than I ever had before in my life, even though I've never visited the place it occurs. The characters are just as captivating, and you really become invested in Kya (the main character) and how her life turns out. One of the best books I've read, so definitely check it out!

Q: If you could have been the author of any book ever written, which book would you choose?

For this answer, I could easily have said "Where the Crawdads Sing" again, but instead I'll go with the book that I became obsessed with two years ago. I've written about it extensively on my blog, because I have some really weird/cool stories to go along with the book review, but "The Little Stranger" by Sarah Waters is wildly good! It's the kind of book I wish I could have written.

While the book is a thriller and a mystery, the beautiful writing takes it from being great to legendary. The plot itself is slow-burning and unnerving, one of the most memorable. There are hints of love and of ghosts, the struggle of grief. It's all put together perfectly and sticks to your skin even after you're finished. The last page is, I think, the best closing I've ever read, as haunting as the whole book that preceded it. There's even a movie, if you're into that sort of thing! So, yeah, this was kinda just another book recommendation. You'll thank me later.

Q: What is your writing Kryptonite?

My greatest difficulty writing is that I get so caught up in my characters' heads. This is a good thing in one sense, because it allows me to fully realize their motives and actions. However, it makes description tricky because I have to keep in mind the world outside of my characters, how the setting relates and reacts to them. That's one of the hardest parts about writing, especially for me, and it takes vigilance to keep in mind the world beyond my characters' view. With each book I write, I do a better job, but that doesn't mean it's not a struggle!

My name is David Kummer. I'm a young writer who leans towards horror, mystery, dystopian, and young adult fiction. I live in Madison, Indiana, a small town on the Ohio River, with lots of history and settings around here that influence my books. You can see tons about my hometown in my novel, EVERYTHING, SOMEWHERE.

I always answer whenever readers email me, so reach out or check out my blog. I've got a handful of books for you to choose from, all of them inexpensive. Reviews and shares are super appreciated.

You may have read some great authors before and some fascinating books, but you've never had an experience like this. Try something and let me convince you.
