Stark On Saturday – March 9 sneak peek at Claim Me (Stark Trilogy, book 2)

Posted on March 9, 2013 by Julie

It’s #StarkOnSaturday again — and that means it’s time for other snippet from the upcoming Claim Me, book two in the Stark Trilogy that began with Release Me.

My phone beeps and I pause in the middle of the parking lot to pull it out of my purse, then smile when I see it’s from Damien.

Thinking of you. Be good on your first day. Get along with the other kids. But don’t share your candy.

I laugh and tap out a reply. I only share my candy w/ u.

His reply makes me smile. Very glad to hear it.

I answer just as quickly. Heading into building now. Wish me luck.

His response is quick. Luck, though you don’t need it. Meeting reconvening, must go. Tonight, baby. Until then, imagine me, touching you.

I always do, I reply, then sigh happily as I slide my phone back into my purse, but not before noticing the time. It’s only 9:45, which means that I have fifteen minutes before I’m supposed to report for work.

My phone rings, and I pull it out. Damien again. “I’m imagining,” I say, keeping my tone sultry.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” He doesn’t sound sultry at all. In fact, he sounds downright pissed. I grimace. Apparently, he’s just spoken to Edward.

“Going to work,” I say.

“I’m supposed to be in a meeting right now.”

“So why aren’t you?”

“Dammit, Nikki—”

“No,” I snap. “I’m the only one who gets to say that. Dammit, Damien, I am perfectly capable of driving myself. And if you want to hire out Edward then ask me. It’s easy. You walk up to me and say, ‘Nikki, darling, light of my life, can I have my driver take you to work?’”

There is a pause, and I hope that he is laughing. “And you would have said yes?”

“No,” I admit. “But that’s the way you should have handled it. It’s my job, Damien. I want to drive myself. I will drive myself.”

Claim Me will be on-sale April 23!

It’s a Celebration! Wanna snag an early read of Claim Me and and Amazon, B&N or iTunes card?

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Julie

Since I’m giddy that Release Me has been two months on the USA Today bestseller list, I thought a new, fun “progressive” contest was in order!

We’ve got three potential winners. Check it out:

So what’s the prize? An early read of Claim Me (the winner will need to sign up for a NetGalley account), a signed copy of the book once it’s available, and a $50 gift card from Amazon, Barnes & Noble or iTunes!

But there’s more!!!

If Release Me hits the USA Today list again next week (i.e., the March 7 list) that’s more reason to celebrate, and another winner will receive early read of Claim Me (the winner will need to sign up for a NetGalley account), a signed copy of the book once it’s available, and a $100 gift card from Amazon, Barnes & Noble or iTunes!

BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!

If Facebook likes for the J. Kenner page hit 5,000 by the time the Rafflecopter expires on March 9 that’s also reason to celebrate! Another winner will receive an early read of Claim Me, a signed copy of the book once it’s available, and either a $100 or $150 gift certificate (depending on whether the book also hit that March 7 USA Today list)! Good luck!

(That’s about 1500 new likes, but spread the word and maybe we’ll get there!)
