Burning Ultimatum (Trevor's Harem #4) Page 16


  I don’t start books with big themes. When I try, things turn out pretentious. So when I started this series, I literally had no idea where it would go. But what happens is, themes start to emerge as I go, and then I latch onto them. And for Trevor’s Harem, the idea of “love can change a person’s stars” became the biggest theme of all.

  See, Eros was looking for a measurable way to describe love and male-female interaction, and thanks to Bridget’s unique makeup, she was The One, so to speak, according to Halo.

  But love can’t be measured. Or predicted. You can’t find love through a lens, no matter how many hormones and evolutionarily fine-tuned neural pathways attempt to compel us.

  And that, I thought, made for a damned fine failure on Eros’s part.

  Why couldn’t Bridget have won the contest and ended up with Trevor?

  Because she has a brain. And she has a heart. And her heart was owed to Daniel.

  Anyway, you haven’t seen the last of my geekery, I’m sure. If you keep reading my books, I promise I’ll always write whatever the hell interests me as long as it serves the greater love story. I figure those put off by mentions of arginine vasopressin receptors will just stop reading, and that’s okay. I’ve still got you, dear reader. We get each other, just like a couple of pair-bonded voles.

  So. Anyway. That’s it.

  The next story I’ve got for you is Gagged, which is Caspian White’s tale. You know how Caspian kind of backs away from Bridget in the Trevor’s Harem books because he’s already obsessed with someone else? Well, I happen to know who that is. Her name is Aurora … and you can find out just how far that particular obsession goes in Gagged. So stay tuned for that one for sure.

  The best ways to keep on top of my releases is to join my email list. You can do that at http://aubreyparker.net/deals/. As the name implies, that’s where you’ll find out about my new releases and (drumroll, please) any deals I offer. You’ll also know out about my giveaways and contests when I have them. All sorts of good shit.

  I’m also on Facebook, which I’ve recently been shocked to find I enjoy. In the past, social media and I have had a hot-and-cold history, but these days I’ve really dug talking to friends and readers online. You can find me here on Facebook until my friends list maxes out, so come on over and add me if you’d like. Either way you’ll for-sure want to Like my Facebook page so you can be there when I’m around and doing stuff there. You can find my Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/AubreyParkerBooks/.

  That’s all I’ve got for you right now. But please do stick around, if you like my breed of romance. I love writing it, and I’d be delighted for you to keep reading.

  GET GAGGED HERE: http://aubreyparker.net/gagged

  “I won’t do anything you don’t want me to do,” Caspian says. “I’ll just force you to do as you wish.”

  I’ve always been a good girl. Partly by choice, partly because of my mother’s shame and my father’s belt.

  Caspian White is strong. Handsome. Powerful. Frightening. The world knows his name, envies his wealth, suspects his kinks, and fears his wrath.

  I’ve kept myself pure, and that’s drawn Caspian to me like a predator to prey.

  I don’t want to do what he wants me to. I just want to conclude my business with Caspian and go.

  But Caspian seems to have been watching me for a while. I’m a target, and he knows me too well.

  I’m afraid he’ll force me to do things I’ll regret … and that if he does, my shameful half will enjoy it.

  Gagged is a STANDALONE dark erotic romance.
