A few years ago, I met a wonderful author named Melanie Jayne at Coastal Magic and fell in love with her books. So when I found out she had a new book coming out today in her Change series, I wanted to share, especially since, in celebration of her new release, book 1 is free and the other three are on sale for 99c. If you haven’t read any of Melanie’s books yet, I highly recommend giving this series a try. -Emily
And now, for more on her new release…
Change of Plan Blurb:
It was supposed to be casual. I never wanted a relationship but I keep coming back for more. When Osi Browne looks at me, I know that he is waiting for the right moment to demand my surrender so I take off.
Ramsay Kent is elusive and I enjoy the chase, but I’m tired of waiting. The woman has a life plan but mine is better for her, me and for us.
The lovers are resourceful, successful, and very stubborn. Who will give in first?
Excerpt from Chapter One:
Osi
“Five, four, three, two, one, Happy New Year!” The party guests counted down in unison.
I already had one arm draped around Ramsay’s slender waist. She allowed me to roll her into my body so that we were touching from chest to pelvis as I kissed her long and hard. “Better than last year’s.” I grinned.
She pulled away from me and gave me a haughty look, raising one eyebrow. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
I didn’t loosen my hold. God, she’d lost weight working so hard on, first, Tye and Billie’s wedding, then Cress and Brian’s, and finally this annual extravaganza. I could feel the knobby bones along her spine. “Last year, I had to track you down for my kiss. This year, you’re by my side.” Where you belong, I added silently. Ramsay Kent was an elusive woman. Although we’d been involved to some degree for over a year, we’d yet to make our relationship official. But I’m a patient man. One of the reasons I’m good at what I do. With Ramsay, I could settle in and wait a while longer.
“Well, I suppose kissing you is better than making out with some random guy.” She turned her head to look around at the other party guests, her green eyes narrowing as though to assess their kissability.
I gave her a hot glare. “Not going to work, Ramses.”
“What?” She drew her eyebrows together in confusion, as if she didn’t know what she was doing.
“You aren’t going to push me away or make me mad. Not tonight,” I said, resolution ringing in my words.
A hint of something like panic entered her gaze. “I’m working… I don’t know what time I’ll get out of here tonight, er, this morning.”
I shrugged, pretending I didn’t see her fear. “It’s not a problem. You know I like to watch you work.”
One side of her mouth hitched upward in consternation. I could almost see her plotting a way to make me go. Before she could blurt out something I didn’t want to hear, I bent toward her. “If I get bored, I’ll head back to my place and send a car to bring you home.” Of course, I wouldn’t get bored. I got off on watching her run the show. Ramsay in command was a thing of beauty. She could multi-task as well as any military strategist—make that better. Handling the rest of this party would be a breeze for her, just like breaking down and reassembling my rifle was second nature to me.
A faint line appeared between her eyebrows. “Are you sure?”
I placed a light kiss on her vibrant red lips, not caring if I now wore the same color. “Go make someone miserable.”
“Asshole.” She snorted as she fought a smile.
“Shouldn’t they be putting out the food?” I asked innocently.
“Shit,” she hissed and spun around on her three-inch heels. “I’m seriously considering cutting the gratuity Tye left for them.” She took off in the direction of the kitchen. Perhaps it was the way her long legs ate up the ground or the red tint to her hair, the guests moved out of her way.
I was admiring the sway of her ass encased in some kind of silky material that was as sleek as her naked body, when I heard my name being called.
