Synopsis:
Meet Amy Jackson. An outspoken, raunchy, in-your-face, loudly inappropriate ER Nurse who makes a career out of indulging.

One-night stands have always been her thing.

Commitment and relationships are two words that are not in her vocabulary.

Amy doesn't have dreams of soul mates and white picket fences. She adamantly refuses to even consider the idea of getting married and starting a family. She’s also obstinate in allowing a certain physician to get on her good side…

James Williams. A cocky, smug, too-damn-good-looking orthopedic surgeon who has his sights set on the very feisty Amy Jackson. He is more than intrigued and ready to do whatever it takes…

“I want this woman. I’m the type of guy who will fight for what he wants until he gets it. I will take my time with Amy. I won’t rush her. I will continue to slowly slide myself into her life until she realizes that I belong there. And then…I won’t let her go.”

This is Book Two in The Infamous Series

Synopsis:
Meet twenty-eight year old Ellen James. A sarcastic, feisty, foul-mouthed ER Nurse. She is snarky, sassy, and sometimes crudely inappropriate. After a terrible breakup with her fiancĂ©, Ellen has promised herself that she will never make the mistake of falling for another man again… and physicians, well she’s more than written them off.

Once she meets sexy Trauma Surgeon, Dr. Trent Hamilton, this promise is unbelievably hard to keep. This too-hot-for-Ellen's-own-good man is undeniably sexy and down-right irresistible. He leaves her breathless, speechless, and irritatingly turned on. He makes her fantasize about him in all kinds of dirty, inappropriate ways.

With the help of her obnoxious, and often times hilarious best friend Amy, Ellen will find herself in several crazy, embarrassing situations.

This is a story of friendship, love and how one very sarcastic woman can find the strength to pick up the pieces after having her heart broken.

In her first novel, N.A. Alcorn provides interesting takes on the word vagina, while giving you a reason to re-think your next visit to the Emergency Room. This book is bound to make you laugh, smile, and provide you with enough sarcasm to choke your grandmother. No, N.A. doesn’t want anything bad to happen to your Grandma Ruth, but she does want you to strongly consider re-naming your vibrator after a guy who’s at the top of your spank bank rotation. Be prepared for dripping juice-boxes, awkward pelvic thrusting, and a little suspense to keep your snatch on edge.

Warning: This novel contains explicit sex, profanity and far too much vaginal humor. This novel is not meant for anti-fornicators, up-tight prudes, or virgins who refuse to go to Pound Town.

I suffer from Chronic-Foot-In-Mouth Syndrome.

I started off my journey into the writing world  by starting a blog…Live Love Laugh & Read. This experience has been nothing but interesting, and I’ve met some of the most wonderful people along the way.

I’m sarcastic, ornery, and tend to find outlandish things funny. I am extremely inappropriate and tend to use colorful language in all of my blog posts as well as my writing.

I also have a strong passion for music. My tastes are eclectic and can range from The Civil Wars to Led Zeppelin to Adele. My favorite band is Incubus. Brandon Boyd’s good looks and sexy swagger definitely have something to do with that.

Not all things have worked out but one thing has remained and that is my love of reading and writing. Writing is what made last minute, should have done this a week ago and now it's due at 9am college night papers so successful.

Synopsis:

A broken heart is only the beginning for her.

Bookworm Annabelle Hart thinks she’s found the love of her life. But when her fiancĂ©’s philandering ways shatter their happy future, she decides she’s through playing the victim. Now, rather than read about life, she wants to live it—starting with a sabbatical from her editing job in Chicago to travel the world. But the past refuses to let her go so easily.

He thinks he has his life figured out.

After watching the woman he thought he loved walk away from him, Holden Blackburn is still picking up the pieces. Content with his life as the owner of an English Inn, just outside the sleepy town of Alton, he’s living his new and peaceful normal. That is, at least, until Annabelle stumbles into his life, and he’s overwhelmed by a desire to learn all he can about her. Now if only he can get her to stay in one place long enough.

Will they risk their hearts on a new chance at love?

When her past returns in a way she can’t ignore, Anna panics, running from any possible future with Holden. She’s determined to keep her life from falling apart again, but she soon discovers the only place she feels safe is in Holden’s arms.

But some things even he can’t protect her from.
 
About the Author:
 
I live in Cincinnati, OH with my amazing geeky husband, our three genius children, and our two dogs (who have earned the affectionate nicknames of Chubbs and Stinks).

I have been lucky enough to do many exciting things in my life.  In 2006 I was able to quit the daily grind of my office job and become a full time artist and photographer.  Though I always enjoyed my career choice it wasn’t the job I had dreamed of since I was a child.  I was always writing poetry and short stories as a child, but when I was 14 I wrote what I thought would be my first novel (in all honesty is was more novella size) about Queen Gwen and the Arthurian Legend.  The book ended up tucked away in my folders, occasionally to be brought out and remind me of that “one day” dream. Life happened as it usually does and though I continued to jot down book ideas I spent my next 18 year exploring other paths.  

My husband always encouraged me to follow my dream and try my hand at writing.  In 2011, I found myself urning to for a new challenge and scared as I was to put myself out there, I sat down and focused on one of my ideas.  To my astonishment in two weeks time fifty thousand words poured out of me.  I revealed the results to my husband and his glow was all the confidence I needed to keep pushing.  

Book 1, Sacred Bloodlines of The Guardians was met with positive reviews which kept me pushing forward. I’ve written a lot of books since that time and feel so blessed to have found my calling.

Brody Markham has endured a nightmare, spending the last five years in prison and losing everything that was dear to him. Now he’s back home, trying to survive in a world he doesn’t recognize anymore. While his family and friends desperately try to reach through to him, he shelters himself further and further away from their love.

Hushed
Britni Hill
New Adult
Release Date: March 18, 2014


Blurb:  
When Tess meets step-brothers Blake and Jason, their differences and her past push her toward Jason even though she’s instantly drawn to Blake.  Tess quickly learns people aren’t always who they seem to be when her relationship with Jason ends.  
A spring break trip pushes Blake and Tess together leaving them unable to deny the way they feel for each other.  While they fall for one another Tess’ history with Jason leads them to try to keep their growing relationship a secret from their friends.  Sneaking around and hiding behind doors adds a certain spark, but they both feel the countdown ticking, leaving them wondering when it will all come out and what will happen.  
An angry Jason spills a secret from his and Blake’s past that makes Tess question how real her relationship with Blake was.  Secrets can ruin everything.  
Can the truth bring them back together?




Awareness shot through her and a chill worked its way down her spine as a warm body leaned next to her.  Lowering her glass, Tess frowned and tried to ignore the sensation as she stared ahead.
“Hey,” a deep voice rumbled from her left causing her eyes to drift closed for a moment.  Without turning her head Tess peered at the tall, dark, and handsome specimen next to her.  Blake.  A jolt ran through her when she took in his profile and Tess swallowed convulsively.  Taking a deep breath did nothing to slow the energy buzzing through her.
“Hey,” she responded forcing her eyes back in front of her.  She hoped her tone was bored but if she was honest her voice was too high and a little breathy.  
Up close Blake was gorgeous and it was almost too much to resist.  He had dark stubble running along his jaw and his hair was shaggy and lay across his forehead messily.  She could see a tattoo on his forearm.  It looked like script of some sort but Tess didn’t allow herself to stare too hard.  Then there was the ring in his lip that drew her attention every time she let herself look at him.  
Blake shifted next to her and Tess felt the movement all the way to her toes.  His arm brushed hers and her body hummed. Her eyes betrayed her, darting in his direction, meeting his look head on.  Tess lifted her chin defiantly.  Fuck it, she thought.  Going against every promise she’d made to herself since breaking up with her asshole ex Tess made a decision she hoped she wouldn’t regret.  She was taking control of the situation.  She was going to prove to herself that she was stronger than this crazy feeling his close proximity was causing.  If she could kiss him and walk away she could put her attraction to him out of her mind.
