Mark accepted his hand gratefully. “This is going to be a new era for the Alexanders. I have a feeling great things are coming.”
They turned to see Lily and Julia motioning to them from across the yard. Mark had spent some time with his parents in the week before the wedding but he knew they were excited to see him and Stewart getting along.
“Let’s go make Mom and Dad happy.”
Stewart followed along as he started across the yard. “So all of your boys are married now. Maybe you and Julia can give us some pointers on how to get ours to settle down. It’d be nice to have some grandchildren.”
Mark smiled at that. It was a great thing that they’d made peace with each other of course. But his nieces and nephews might not think so once they understood what having their aunt and uncle back in their lives would mean. He met Julia’s eyes as they got closer.
“Don’t worry, big brother. Once Julia hears that, I don’t think you’ll have to wait too long.”

EXCERPT of Bad King

Olivia leaned against the bar in Shiney’s Pub. It was crowded, which wasn’t unusual for the wee hours of a Saturday morning. Dupont Circle was known to be one of the hubs of D.C. nightlife and tonight was no exception. Girls in short dresses and guys in jeans and tight muscle shirts milled on the dance floor and around the pool table on the other side of the room. Shiney’s was known for loud music, dim lighting and strong drinks. The perfect place to meet a date when you weren’t sure if they were a psycho yet.
What the hell are you doing?
Olivia raised her eyebrows at the bartender and he nodded, indicating that he’d bring her another cranberry juice. It wasn’t her favorite after work beverage but she was already walking on the wild side tonight. If she was going to do something as foolish as meet a strange man after work, she definitely wasn’t going to do it with alcohol in her system.
But what a man.
She squirmed, remembering how intense he’d been leaning over her, blue eyes fixed on her ass. It had been a really long time since she’d experienced pure, high-octane desire. This was no civilized thing. She didn’t want him to take her out for dinner and a movie with a polite kiss at the end. Oh no. She wanted his big hands on her breasts, his tongue in her mouth and to find out if that bulge in his pants was as big as it appeared. He made her want sex, pure and simple. Sweaty, rough, dirty sex. Sex that made her feel naughty and liberated all at the same time.
It had been so long since she’d wanted a man. Truthfully, that was probably the only reason she’d said yes. It would probably be a shock to others since she dealt in fantasy but her own desires had been curiously dormant for years. Maybe it was because she was surrounded by eroticism at the club and she’d become immune to it. Nothing really pushed her buttons anymore.
