Pleasure Trove, Ellora's Cave Moderne! Blurb and Excerpt

Greetings everyone!

It's almost the end of August and I'm excited! Tomorrow Pleasure Trove, Ellora's Cave Moderne, releases and I wanted to share as much information as I can. After the book's release at EC, I expect it to be available through Amazon, ARe, Google Play/Books, and Barnes and Noble/Nook. Prices will vary and you might find the best price through Ellora's Cave directly and if you have a Kindle, yes, they have the right format for you to read, ditto for Nooks and iPads/Android devices.

Right now, I'd love to share a little background about Pleasure Trove, a blurb, an excerpt and the link. I'd also like to introduce you to Maksim Steel and Callie Andrews aka Calysta MacIntyre. Callie, a former undercover reporter for a small press newspaper in Baltimore, travels to Hollywood looking for answers regarding the mysterious death of her long-missing cousin. Her search takes her to adult film company Pleasure Trove. She never expects to meet charming and charismatic actor Maksim Steel, much less that she'd become his fluffer and the scorching hot affair that follows.

Maks has a secret! Many in fact, and he guards them zealously, even as he suspects that PT's new production assistant is far more than others may see. Still, he can't deny his attraction to her, or the fact that the 'rest' of him responds to her in ways that seasoned porn stars haven't been able to muster lately. Taking Calysta on as his fluffer, he quickly seduces her but warns not to expect fidelity or true intimacy. He never plans to fall for her.  For more, here's a blurb and a glimpse into their first meeting!

Pleasure Trove
Frances Stockton

Troubled by the death of her cousin, former undercover reporter Callie goes to Hollywood to find some answers. Her search takes her to adult film company Pleasure Trove.
Callie never expects to meet charismatic actor Maksim, much less become his fluffer! She’s quickly seduced, but he warns not to expect romance or fidelity. Despite the risk of heartbreak, Callie is drawn into Maks’ world of sin and seduction, engaging in sexual experiences she’d never dared before.
Soon, however, their affair strengthens, hinting of love. But when danger grows and Callie’s old column is cruelly exposed, they must face their demons, or risk losing everything.
Inside Scoop: Callie’s new career path leads to some interesting times, including participating in a hot ménage or two, complete with female/female sexual exploration.

A Romantica® contemporary erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave

 “Mr. Erikson, I’m sorry to interrupt, but I’ve brought your coffee orders,” she said to the director, silently reminding herself that she’d left Callie in Baltimore. “Where should I place them?”
Right here, right now, she needed to be Calysta MacIntyre, calm, cool and professional. That was until Sven Erikson moved away and a man stepped out from the screen and she momentarily forgot who she was.
Resembling a beautiful blond Greek god, he didn’t have a sprayed-on tan. Oh no, he was taller than Hardy by at least two inches, broad, built and sculpted with gorgeous wavy shoulder-length hair left wild and unbound.
Wearing nothing but bathing trunks, he filled out them out beautifully. His face, perfection, chiseled perhaps by the gods themselves.
Trembling nervously, Callie caught herself, waiting for the director to tell her what to do when the actor’s eyes met hers from across the room. He smiled, flashing perfectly white teeth and sending a sharp pang of sensation low in her belly.
For the longest time, they stared at each other, both seeming unwilling to look away. Tiny butterflies took flight within her, her heart thudding. This wasn’t just any actor, somewhere in her cluttered thoughts, she recognized him as Pleasure Trove’s leading man, Maksim Steel.
Okay, so she’d watched several of his movies on her trip to Los Angeles. Each time she stopped at a motel for a couple hours’ sleep, it was simply a matter of popping in a DVD in her computer. She’d told herself it was for research. Plus, he was a sexy, virile man with the biggest cock she’d ever seen in her entire life.
Holy cow, just like that, she was aroused simply from the memory of how well he’d performed in those flicks. The problem was the longer they stared at each other, the wetter she became. Shifting, she felt the telltale dampness of her panties even as her clit pulsed as if she’d gotten herself off.
No, oh no, she did not have a mini-orgasm simply because he smiled at her. That’d be too embarrassing for words.
“Ah, there you are, Ms. MacIntyre. I trust you found your way to the café?” Sven greeted. He was a good-looking man in a GQ kind of way, his sandy-brown hair neatly trimmed.
“GPS is a miraculous thing,” she said, steeling herself as the director came up to her. “Once everyone’s been served, is there anything else I can do for you? I’m quite handy with a hammer or finding props, though I may need someone to give me a tour later.”
“Be glad to assist, Ms. MacIntyre,” Hardy offered, grinning as he set his tray of coffee on a table near the sofa.

“Hardy, shouldn’t you get back to your post? I’ll have someone give Ms. MacIntyre a tour when there’s a break,” Sven said, stepping in closer than she expected. For a fraction of a second she thought his blue eyes scanned her from head to toe in a way he hadn’t done during her interviews.
“Shall I place this with the other tray?” Callie asked after Hardy left, intending to move out of the way when the brunette made a sudden beeline for the coffee tray in her hand.
“I hope you remembered to tell the barista to only use soy milk in my latte,” the actress sniped, managing to tip the tray so that it fell toward Callie, icy coffee splashing down the front of her.
The chill cut straight to the bone, stealing her breath. Miraculously, the lids on the hot coffees remained intact until the cups hit the floor and liquid went everywhere.
“Look what you’ve done!” the actress shouted upon realizing her short robe had been splashed. “Have you any idea the cost of this outfit?”
“I’ll be more than glad to have it cleaned for you or pay for a new one,” Callie offered, shivers setting in just as Maksim came charging up to yank the tray from her hands.
“Don’t concern yourself with Felicity. Are you burned, honey?” Maksim asked as he checked for damage, his big hands brushing up and down her bodice and coming a little too close to her breasts.
Sucking in a deep gasp and hoping he thought she was reacting to the cold drinks, she tried to catch his hands. The hell of it was she liked how he made her feel with the simplest of touches.
“I’m fine. It’s…cold more than anything,” she answered huskily, wondering where that voice came from. At five foot eleven in flat shoes, she was equal in height to the brunette, though Maksim’s size and height made her feel tiny, feminine.
“What the fuck was that, Felicity? You’re lucky you didn’t burn Ms. MacIntyre. Is that right?” Maksim asked Callie directly.
“My name’s Calysta,” she answered. “Please don’t fuss. I’m not hurt.”
“Sven, get Felicity out of my sight or I’m doing this scene with Veronica,” Maksim commanded, his vivid-green eyes narrowing, his lip curling in disdain.
“What!” Felicity screeched. “Sven wouldn’t dare cut me out of a scene for someone who’s barely elevated from fluffer status, Maksim.”
“It’s…okay, really, don’t change your scene. It was an accident,” Callie insisted, amazed that Maksim cared. No longer searching for injury or burn marks, he stroked. It felt so good she didn’t want him to stop.

Release Day for Menage-a-Dare!

Hello everyone! I'm wicked excited to share the news that my next Ellora's Cave contemporary erotic romance releases Wednesday May 7, 2014! That's this Wednesday.


For those who may be more familiar with my six book series titled Ink and Kink, my new series Sexcapades, all of which can be identified with Dare in the title were launched with the release of Hazard's Dare, Ellora's Cave Moderne. In Hazard's story, readers were introduced to Dare, Nevada, once a former Wild West ghost town rescued from extinction by a group of investors who turned into a mini-mecca for the rich and famous to play without the risk of discovery by the media or paparazzi.

It is now my pleasure to introduce you to three characters whom you may have met before in a secondary role, Evelyn Stratham, from Cuff Master and Hazard's Dare, ghost hunter Remy Sinclair, also from Cuff Master and the enigmatic and incredibly sexy bisexual businessman with a secret, Jaxon Wynter! 

For more information on any of the books mentioned on this blog post, visit my website http://www.francesstockton.com and click on my bookshelf!

Author's Note: This story is one of sensual discovery with BDSM elements. I highly recommend anyone considering the lifestyle to get informed before engaging in it. Menage-a-Dare also features two bisexual men who become as committed to each other as they do to Eve.

Here's a glimpse of Menage-a-Dare! 
http://www.ellorascave.com/menage-a-dare.html 

Here's a sneak peak at the first meeting between Eve, Remy and Jaxon!
“Eve! Remy,” Avery called out in a rush, disrupting their kiss by plowing into the two of them and wrapping them both up in a bear hug that would do the Maddox brothers proud.
“Whoa, Avery, careful with your knee. I need that part, know what I’m saying?” Remy muttered, laughing when he and Eve drew apart.
“Sorry, Remy, god I’ve missed you guys,” Avery replied, backing up to assess them as only a mother hen or best friend could. “It’s true isn’t it? You and my best friend are a thing, a couple.”
“A couple, yes, a thing, no,” Eve pointed out, laughing happily.
Avery waved her hand in the air expressively. “You guys hungry?”
“Starving,” Remy answered, sounding distracted all of a sudden. His hand tightened on Eve’s, a warning, an acknowledgment, she couldn’t say, all she knew was that something was about to happen.
Turning her head, she discovered why her man had become mute. Another man who wasn’t nearly as big as Remy but equally imposing came strolling up to them as if everything he surveyed belonged to him. The cut of his charcoal-gray slacks, pale-gray shirt and dark vest was impeccable, probably expensive.
At once, Eve was certain the man with the straight, shoulder-length white-blond and dyed black-streaked hair was Jaxon Wynter. To say his hair was beautiful was an understatement—it was gorgeous, different. The added touch of red bleeding down from his widow’s peak made him resemble a vampire.
But it was more than his hair that caught Eve’s attention. He was handsome as sin with a strong chin, a straight nose and a mouth that made her pussy tingle. For a heartbeat she thought the Norse gods had sent him to earth to play with mere mortals.
Wow, she wouldn’t mind playing with him. He had charisma in spades. Everyone in the lobby stopped what they were doing to stare at him. It didn’t matter if they were men or women, they all looked and Eve couldn’t do anything more than stare back.
It was Avery’s frantic waving that broke the strange force-field that seemed to take hold of Eve and Remy. Blinking rapidly, Eve tried to speak but Remy shook his head, for a moment acting as if he’d seen a ghost, which was really ironic considering his profession.
“Jax, come meet my friends,” Avery urged excitedly.
Something told Eve that if Jaxon Wynter didn’t want to rush something, he wouldn’t. He was making a statement. His walk was as engaging as the look he sent Eve and Remy.
Remy felt it too. She knew it by the tug of his hand on hers, the intake of his breath that was utterly male and utterly taken by the other man.

Review for Field of Play!

Wow, two reviews in one day. How exciting. You Gotta Read sent an excellent review of Field of Play, Book 2 in the Ink and Kink series. I'm honored that earlier books in the series are getting noticed.

http://yougottaread.com/review-field-of-play-by-frances-stockton/

Great Review of Switch Master by Literary Nymphs!

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a joyous and peaceful Christmas/Holiday Season and a Happy New Year. As it's a New Year, there are awesome books coming down the pike for 2014, books and stories I'll tell you all more about the closer they are to releasing. I will say that I recently signed a 5 book contract with Ellora's Cave, three that are part of the Sexcapades series that feature characters introduced in Hazard's Dare, Ellora's Cave Moderne, in small town Dare, Nevada, a place where the rich and famous and sometimes infamous can retreat to and not have to worry about candid cameras or discovery unless they want to be discovered.

Two of the books are for the Exotica line, Pleasure Trove and Road Gig! The first features an inside look at the porn industry from the prospective of a newly hired PA who unwittingly becomes the lead actor's fluffer! The latter, set to release late in 2014 or early 2015, depending on how fast I write, is a one night stand and a dream come true for a bartender working toward her doctorate.

In the meantime, as the subject heading indicates, my latest release, Switch Master, Ellora's Cave Taboo, the sixth book in the Ink and Kink series, received an excellent 4.5 Nymphs review from Literary Nymphs and I had to share.
