Today Johnathan and I release book two in our standalone series called Tall, Dark, and Handsome. Book One was The Sexpert (in case you missed it) and book two is called Pierce.
You do not have to read The Sexpert to read Pierced. Or any of the books in the future. The books in this series are tied together through a neighborhood called—you guessed it—“The Tall, Dark, and Handsome” commonly known as the TDH, and the characters who live and work there.
All the books in this series are romantic comedies. There are no dark twists, no rape fantasies, no kidnappings (yet, but hey, never say never) and no guns. It’s just fun stuff because sometimes people want a little fun in their lives. (Hell, some romance readers only want the fun.)
So if you haven’t read this series yet and want to give it a try (because let’s face it, Johnathan and I can write some LOL shit, bitches) go into it expecting to laugh. 🙂
Pierce and Myrtle are two bigger-than-life characters. I can sum them up perfectly in one sentence each:
Former dominatrix who dresses like a sexy librarian and drives all the men at Le Man Magazine wild with her covert sexual innuendo and her overt don’t-cross-me attitude.
CEO of Le Man Magazine, might actually be related to a former French monarch, has an “office throne”, and lives in a state of constant crisis.
Separately, these two are… fascinating, but weird.
Together they are hot, sexy perfection.
So if you’re looking for a romantic LOL romp through the offices of Le Man and the outskirts of the TDH with two melt-your-heart sexy weirdos, you’re gonna need this book in your life! Get it at the links below!
And don’t forget to enter our giveaway before you take off!
EDEN
I’m just a simple girl who likes dessert. And sexy men. And social media. So starting an anonymous video channel called The Sexpert as a side hustle to make up for my low-paying marketing job at Le Man Magazine seemed like a perfectly sensible career decision. Until we went viral, my boss accused my anonymous personality of stealing his idea, and now my super sexy new boyfriend, Andrew, is out to get me.
Her. Me. Whatever.
ANDREW
I don’t want it to be her. I do not want this… sweet, delicious, shy social media nerd working at my best friend’s magazine to be the face behind those perky cupcakes on the Sexpert channel. I don’t want it to be her… because I like her. A lot. She’s funny, and quirky, and smart, and creative… and… I really, really like her. It just can’t be her.
But it is. More info →
MYRTLE
I’m a just an erotic woman who likes control.
And edgy sex.
And hard men.
At the same time.
So starting an outreach class at the TDH community center to teach other women how to put the dom in dominatrix was inevitable. Even if I was only doing it to use my boss, Pierce, as my submissive example and pay him back for humiliating me in front of the whole world last summer.
PIERCE
I regret what I did to Myrtle. She’s the best assistant I’ve ever had and I’ll play along—for now—because I want to make things right. But... come on. Me? A submissive? Ha. Myrtle Rothschild might have the upper hand at the moment… but I’m bringing my A-game. I’m gonna take back control.
She can wear her hot, thigh-high latex boots. She can crack that whip all she wants. Hell, I’ll even let her leave marks.
But I’m about to school Ms. Rothschild in the art of who’s the boss.
And she’s about to get Pierce-d. More info →

So The Triangle… it’s not rom com, that’s for sure. lol More like The Company meets 321, meets Spencer Shrike.
Yup, that pretty much sums it up. So if you’re a long-time fan, you get what that means without explanation. But if you’re new and you’re wondering what the fuck this is, let me explain.
Three people make a triangle. But it’s not a love triangle if everyone’s on board.
Danny and Christine were in the foster care system when they were kids. Christine was ten when fourteen-year-old Danny found her and decided to be her guardian. Four years later they’re inseparable friends when Danny turns eighteen and takes her out of the foster system thinking she’s better off with him.
Enter Alec van den Berg. Privileged rich kid, hot South-African accent, and big dreams of taking over his father’s diamond business. Sort of. He steals them. And soon he’s got Danny and Christine stealing them too. What happens next is a whirlwind life of global jet-setting, million-dollar diamond heists, and tropical vacations in paradise.
Then Christine grows up and wants more from the two men in her life. More than Danny’s willing to give. And the triangle falls apart.
But that’s when the story actually starts. Four years later they’re back together, everyone is trying to kill them, and maybe, just maybe, Danny is ready for that love affair he couldn’t commit to.
JUST READ THE EXCERPT… LOL (And don’t forget to enter the $50 giveaway at the bottom of the post.
(BY THE WAY – if you don’t buy your books on Amazon and want this, better get it this week.)
DANNY
The shape of our love.
I’m looking at Alec when these words echo in my head. He’s looking back at me like… like he needs something. He’s always had that look. I’ve always felt that need. “Back in the gym that first day we met,” I say.
“Yeah?”
“You said you were there for me.”
“I was.”
“Why?” I say. “What the fuck did you ever need from me?”
His eyes narrow a little. “Let’s start with what I didn’t need, yeah?”
“Whatever.”
“I didn’t need your help,” he says. “Not the way you thought. I certainly didn’t need anyone’s help stealing diamonds. Hell, I didn’t need to steal diamonds at all. That’s not why I wanted you around. And I definitely didn’t need a fourteen-year-old girl hanging about. No offense,” he says, eyes meeting Christine’s briefly before returning to me.
“Then what the fuck was all that about? Just the thrill? The danger? What?”
“A bit of that, I guess. But why can’t it just be about you, man? Why do you find that so hard to believe?”
“So you wanted to fuck me?”
“Everyone wants to fuck you, Danny.”
Christine laughs.
“You’re bleeding hot, bru. You’ve got everything going for you.”
“Shit,” I say.
“You do. More than I ever had. Not money. Obviously. I’m talking about… this… self-possession. Even before I knew you, I saw it. You walked around with a goddamn invisible sign on your chest that said, Take it or leave it. I wanted that.”
“So you wanted me?”
He shrugs. “What can I tell you? It’s not fokken rocket science. It’s just… attraction. Which is more of an earth science.” He winks.
And in the moment I take to process this, his hand slides up to my neck. His fingers wrap around and grip. Just enough to make me lean forward into his space.
I know what’s coming. And it’s not our first, so my heart shouldn’t be beating so fast.
But it is.
Because when his mouth finds mine I do something different.
I don’t give in, I don’t give up, I don’t resist, and I don’t complain.
I just… kiss him back.
The way he wants me to. The way I’d kiss Christine if it was her, not him.
Open mouth. Pliant lips. Probing tongue.
Long, deep breaths in those fractional seconds when we change position. Inhaling, and exhaling. Christine’s body between us. Her arms around us, hands wandering, fingertips encouraging.
We’ve been here before. Hell, the past two days we’ve gotten past this point a few times.
But it feels different.
It feels intentional. This kiss is no accident. Not a heat-of-the-moment reaction.
It’s deliberate, and passionate, and real.
They’re sworn enemies and I’m in the middle.
Both of them claimed me. Had me. Used me. Forgot me.
Except… I don’t remember any of it. I don’t even know who I am or why I’m in this cramped basement apartment with tinfoil covering the tiny windows when my bank account says I have over two million dollars.
I don’t know how I got the stitches on the back of my head, or the scar under my chin, or the ache in my shoulder—but I do know I probably deserved it.
I don’t know why there’s a shotgun in the closet, a sniper rifle under the floorboards, and a pistol under my pillow.
I don’t know why I stay.
I don’t know why I care.
I don’t know why I’m trying to put something back together when it was never whole to begin with.
Until I look at them.
Until they look at me.
Until I touch them.
Until they touch me.
And even though the memories don’t come back.
I know.
I know why I stay.

Holy shit, the time went fast! Book Two in the Original Sin Series, ANGELS FALL, is OUT now! If you’re just hearing about this series let me give you the down-low.
Original Sin is a full-length-book continuing series of four books. The first book, SIN WITH ME, released on March 6 and all the subsequent books are releasing three weeks apart. If you’re new to who Johnathan and I are, well here’s the deets on that.
JA Huss is the New York Times bestselling author of 321 and has been on the USA Today bestsellers list twenty-one times in the past four years. Johnathan McClain is a veteran actor and writer whose work, either performed or written, is probably airing on at least one of the channels on your television right now.
If you’d like more about us you can find our story here. But I have one more interesting fact to share before you move on – Johnathan in addition to being an actor, is also an audiobook narrator. He narrates under his real name (which is Johnathan McClain) and also a pen name (Tad Bronson) So HE is the narrator for this series (along with my favorite female in audio, Ava Erickson) and they are SPECTACULAR! Take a listen below if you don’t believe me! (WARNING: Not Safe For Work!)
⬇ AUDIOBOOK SAMPLES! ⬇
Both books! Angels Fall doesn’t release for three more weeks on audiobook, so you’re getting a super sneak peak! 🙂
She’s not gonna fall for his charm. He’s gonna make sure that happens.They’re destined to be together. Even if Maddie doesn’t know it yet.
Sometimes your soul mate isn’t who you’d choose, it’s who you need. Good thing you don’t get to choose. More info →
Sometimes angels fall.
Maddie doesn’t really owe drug lord, Carlos Castillo, money. So she hadn’t taken his threats seriously. Until now. He wants it, whether she owes it or not. And if she doesn’t have it in six weeks he’s gonna take her as payment instead.
Tyler would save the world if he could. That’s a fight that lasts forever. And if there’s one thing he’s good at, it’s fighting. So if Maddie thinks she’s gonna deal with an insane drug lord on her own, she’s crazier than he is.
She’s got a debt she can’t pay. He’s got more money than he needs.
She’s not gonna fall for his charm. He’s gonna make sure that happens.
They’re destined to be together. Even if Maddie doesn’t know it yet.
Sometimes your soul mate isn’t who you’d choose, it’s who you need.
Good thing you don’t get to choose.

TYLER
“How’s that feel?” I mutter out, my mouth just above a whisper. Just loud enough for her to hear the question over the hum of the vibrator and the sound of her own moans.
“Good,” she whines back.
“Just good?” I ask.
But before I let her answer the question, I slide the vibrator back to the opening I’m currently pouring myself into and work the very tip of the second dick inside of her as well, stretching her just that much more open and continuing to thrust back and forth while the vibrator massages the inside of her walls. She begins panting.
“How ‘bout now?” I ask.
“Fuck yeah,” she groans back.
Her hands splay out in front of her, gripping at the sheets, her arms stiffening and her lower back arching more as she continues pressing into me. I pull the vibrator away and lay it on the bed.
“What are you doing?” she pleads. “That was amazing.”
“No,” I whisper as I bend over to kiss her shoulder blades and bury my face in her hair. “That wasn’t amazing. This is amazing.”
And before she can ask ‘what?’ I’m up on the bed, my knees under me, her pulled back onto my dick, ass pressed into my thighs like she’s sitting on my lap, her legs sticking out behind me, and I tell her, “Put your arms out in front of you. Like Supergirl. I’m gonna make you fly.”
“What?” she says.
I take both of her arms, throw them out in front of her, grab her hips as tightly as I can, and pound in and out of her ferociously, bouncing her on my cock.
“Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit,” she huffs with each thrust.
She keeps her arms suspended in the air that way like the sexiest goddamn super-hero ever, flying through the sky, propelled forward by the force of our fucking. I support her weight with my hands on her hips and the hard, fast motion of my thighs driving into her creamy skin, over and over again. I can feel her muscles tighten as she strains to hold herself aloft and it just makes me fuck her harder.
I keep my right hand in place and with my left, I take up a fistful of silky red. I yank her hair back, exposing her neck to the ceiling and her hands now fly up to grab at my fist, making sure to keep it locked there on her head.
Or so I think.
Because suddenly, she’s pulling my hand away from her hair and bringing it around to rest on her throat.

Two broken people in a city fueled by sin.
Maddie isn’t looking to be saved. She knows the only person you can count on is yourself. Her moral compass might not point true North these days—but at least she’s still standing.
The military taught Tyler about loyalty. Being there for your brothers is the only thing that matters—but when it mattered most, he wasn’t.
She’s got a ticket straight to Hell. He’s already been there and back.
She needs to win. He just needs to stop fighting.
Some sins scar your soul so deeply, you’ll never be the same.
But this Devil in disguise might just be the angel he needs to forgive himself.

His hand slips around the curve of my ass, squeezing it so hard, I bite my lip to stifle a whimper. His fingers press into my skin, grabbing hold of me like he might never let go.
His tongue laps against my pussy, then flicks my clit. I fist his hair and let my head fall back—pressing against the brick wall. He does this little move with his tongue. Teasing me as he swirls it around, presses his mouth firmly against my clit, and moves it back and forth so quick, I drop a hand down to his shoulder and dig my nails in. Like I might never let go either.
It’s been a while for me. Too long, really. And I can feel the climax building and building, and then—
“Not yet, angel,” he murmurs.
“Yes,” I say, insistent. “Now. We’re in the alley and there’s people—”
“There’s no people,” he counters. “And I want to be inside you when you come. I want you to be fucked as much as possible before I let you finish.”
“Hey,” I say. I really need this guy’s real name. I can’t keep calling him that. Especially during sex. “We gotta hurry. I’m at work and—”
“You’re not at work. You’re with me, Scarlett.”
And I really need to tell him my name too. Because I feel like I’m morphing into Scarlett. This is the kind of thing she does, not me.
Isn’t it?
He lifts my legs, still pushing me against the wall, repositions them so they drape over the crook in his arms. He’s holding both ass cheeks, squeezing them hard and pressing against me with his hard cock. But we’re eye level and I’m looking at him like… like we’re something. Like maybe I am with him.
He grins. A devilish, mischievous grin. Says, “How do you like it?”
“Like it?” I say, my eyes darting around to make sure no one can see us.
“Scarlett,” he says, demanding my attention. “Look at me. And tell me how you like to be fucked.”
“Uhhh… good.”
He laughs. “Roger that. Anything else?”
“Just…” I start. Because I’m not really into the dirty-talking shit. I’m not into alley sex, or wall sex, or giving blow jobs for money. But I’ve done all those things since I met him. Last. Fucking. Weekend.
So fuck it. I’m Scarlett now, I guess.
“Hard,” I say. “I like it hard.”
He smiles.
“And dirty.”
“Filthy?” he asks. “Or just dirty?”
I take a moment to wonder how much difference there is between filthy and dirty.
“Scarlett,” he says, pushing his stiff cock up to the entrance of my pussy. God, I’m wet. And the way he’s teasing me has my whole body trembling. “Tell me how to fuck you. Because if you don’t, you’re just gonna have to get it the way I like to give it.”
