Excerpt
PROLOGUE
Wyatt
Ten Years Earlier
Smoke.
My nostrils twitch as the subtle acrid smell hits them and a sliver of unease curls itself around my consciousness.
The club is crowded, and Iâm jostled carelessly between a sea of sweaty bodies. My hand instinctively finds my belly and I internally curse Flynn for convincing me to come tonight.
I crane my neck, searching for the source of the putrid smell, but I can barely see past the people surrounding me. Their clammy skin pressing against my own combined with their loud voices ringing in my ear, the atmosphere practically suffocates me.
My breathing begins to quicken. Short, shallow breaths that I have to fight to get into my lungs, heighten my anxiety and the mild apprehension I was feeling morphs quickly into full-blown dread that thrashes violently through my veins.
Closing my eyes, I try to block out the crowd around me and concentrate on Flynnâs voice, which floats above the cheers and catcalls. My vision is blocked from my position over here, along the side of the room where I, wrongly, assumed I could avoid the crush of the congested dance floor.
Thatâs when it happens.
With my eyes squeezed shut, one hand pressed against my hammering chest and the other curled protectively over my stomach. My brain shuts down, focusing only on the voice of the man I love, singing the song he wrote about us. About cherry Chapstick and cheap beer.
The moment my life was forever changed.
One word screamed.
Hundreds of bodies pushing, fighting each other, chased by the cruel heat and wicked burn.
Iâm shoved forcefully up against the wall as people lose all sense of decency in their own fight for safety. My eyes flicker to my left and I see the orange flames dancing with the plumes of black smoke above the stage. My heart sinks and I unconsciously begin fighting against the crowd. Sweat prickles along every inch of my skin and I fight every instinct in me as I try to make my way toward Flynn.
A tall guy stops right in front of me, his face is panicked, and I can see a fear in his eyes that I know is echoed in my own. He bends down and grabs my shoulders, his fingertips digging in painfully. âGo the other way!â he screams in my face, his spit coating me. Shaking my head, I push past him and hear him mutter, âStupid bitch.â
The pungent smoke has filled the room and as my lungs struggle to cope, screaming for fresh air, I become disoriented. I spin around, my eyes burning while I attempt to gather my wits. But when a stray elbow connects with my already aching temple, I lose my balance, falling to the ground. And in a moment that I know will forever be imprinted on me, amidst the cacophony of terrified screams, flailing bodies, and heart-wrenching terror, I lose everything that I love.

Title: Baking with a Rockstar
Series: Brooksville #1
Author: Jasmin Miller
Genre: Contemporary/New Adult Romance
Cover Design: Alyssa Garcia, Uplifting Designs
Release Date: February 28, 2019
Blurb
When a rockstar and a single mom become roommates, delicious sparks are bound to fly.
Rockstar Hudson Mitchell is over the glitz and spotlight of the music industry. Desperate for a break from the fast-paced life of fame, he retreats to the one place that has always been home.
Brooksville, California. It's the same place where Charlie has taken refuge, trying to build a life for herself and her young daughter. The quiet, small-town atmosphere and her new bakery venture are exactly what she needs to pick up the pieces of her shattered past.
As they spend more time together, neither of them is prepared for the effect Charlie has on Hudson, and how important she would become for his career.
Excerpt
âCharlie, where do you want me next?â Hudsonâs voice sounds from behind me, making me jump.
The hairs on the back of my neck rise at the sound of his rich voiceâthe deep timbre almost echoing across the roomâas I spin around to face him. âGosh, Hudson, can you please stop sneaking up on me like that?â
I slap his shoulder lightly, leaving a nice flour mark on his black T-shirt.
Good. Serves him right.
Today is our second day together at âwork,â and I still have to get used to him being around. Thankfully, I barely saw him yesterday, since he was helping one of the contractors fix a few things outside the building while I hid in my office, hunched over a pile of papers to make sure everythingâs going according to plan. I wonder if Hudson stayed away from me on purpose, giving me some time to get used to him. Iâm almost certain he knows how easily some people get overwhelmed by his presence.
He grimaces, but the mischief is clearly displayed in the way his eyes sparkle. âSorry, I didnât mean to, but you were so absorbed in your work. There could be a meteor coming your way, and you wouldnât know it until it hit you.â
Well, heâs got me there. When I focus on something, itâs easy for me to zone out. âVery funny.â
I glare at him playfully and study him for a moment, taking him in, from his black T-shirt all the way to his dark gray jeans that are paired with black boots. His whole outfit is covered in dust, dirt, and a few specks of paint. He looks every bit the busy worker bee heâs been, and since Iâm not blindâand my hormones practically demand itâI have to admit, he couldnât look sexier.
Early Praise
âThis story was fun and an easy read with fun-loving characters. I instantly fell in love with Hudson and the immediate bond he had with Mira. The love story between Hudson and Charlie is beautiful and just about proves that good things happen to good people.â - Drippin_inmelanin, Goodreads
âWell butter my butt and call me a biscuit, this was so cute. If you're looking for something light to read on a lazy afternoon, this is pretty perfect. It's just a really great "make-you-feel-good" kind of book.â - Dylan, Goodreads
âThe story was unexpected, cheerful, heartbreaking, and made me feel all things at once!â - Kendra, Goodreads

Excerpt
Hooked by Jennifer Bene
Humor flashed in his eyes, a slight crinkling at the corners before he nodded. âI think I understand.â His thumb stroked up and down the column of her throat, but his grip never tightened, there was just a little more⦠pressure. âYou think because youâre in the ballet that youâre somehow less than the other celebrities involved in the auction?â
âWell, theyâre actual celebrities, so⦠thereâs that.â A quiet laugh almost escaped her lips, but then his grip really did tighten. Higher on her throat now, just under her jaw, and he used the hold to tilt her head back again until his face filled her view.
âLet me add on to your friendâs requirements. While weâre playing tonight, you wonât refer to ballet, or yourself, in a negative way or youâll earn a punishment, and it will be one you donât enjoy. Understood?â
âYes, sir,â she whispered, practically breathless, but that had a lot less to do with his relatively gentle hold on her throat and a lot more to do with the arousal currently buzzing through her bloodstream and concentrating the pulse between her thighs.
âWonderful.â He removed his hand and smiled again. âThank you for your trust.â
âTrust?â she echoed.
âYes. Not every sub will let you touch their throat like that without proving yourself first, establishing the trust. I appreciate that you gave me that on faith alone. You trusted that I would keep you safe, and I swear that I will.â Wyattâs smile changed a bit, widening into a grin that made him seem a lot less serious, more⦠playful. âThat doesnât mean I wonât hurt you, though. I admit that Iâm looking forward to pulling some of those sweet cries from your lips myself.â
And, boom.
The pulse between her thighs turned into an all-out fire, which didnât help the fact that she already felt too hot in the stifling room.

Nick Fletcher has the voice of a god and a tongue as sharp as a knife. His words can cut, and this time, his quick temper has earned him an intruder in his life and on his tour.
Dalia Brenner looks like a grown-up Annie gone bad, but he wants nothing to do with her pin-up worthy curves and smart mouth. His method of dealing is to keep his head down, get through the tour, and then he'll never have to see her again.
Dalia has no intention of having heart-to-hearts with Nick. They share a bus and sleep three feet apart every night, but that doesn't mean she can't ignore the scowly, grumpy lead singer.
Except she can't seem to deny the annoying instinct to "fix" the pain and grief behind Nick's sea glass eyes, even though she definitely knows better.
And Nick, well, he's getting tired of denying Dalia...period.
Dalia has plans though, and none of them involve being a rock star's girlfriend. Too bad Nick couldn't disagree more.
