Played Blog Tour: Excerpt + Giveaway




Played (Elite PR #2)
Author: Clare James

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 19th, 2015
Publisher: Entangled Publishing (Brazen Imprint)

Description:

Play. Or be played.

The music should be enough. End of story. But Aaron Major is finding out it’s not, and now his agent has hired a firm of suits to help launch his debut album, turning his life into a goddamn circus. Smile here. Play there. Be nice. Well, screw that. If Aaron wanted to spend his time shaking hands and kissing babies, he would’ve gone into politics.

Helping launch the career of country singer Aaron Major should be a cakewalk for PR pro Melody Sharp. Aaron is charming, sexy, and oh-so-appealing when he’s on stage. Off stage, though, he’s her worst nightmare. A stubborn, ornery, reclusive nightmare without a lick of business—or fashion—sense. The only way he’s going to make it in music is with a serious makeover—and quite possibly a personality transplant.

Soon, they’re engaged in a game of give and take, and though it’s Melody calling the shots, it’s Aaron who holds all control…

 “Okay.” Her voice steadied, bringing him great relief. He wanted her to enjoy every second of them pleasuring each other.

He slowly undressed her despite their awkward positions—but this was nothing compared to what they’d be doing next. It was best to prepare her ahead of time.

Her shirt came off first, rather easily, as did his. He flicked the front clasp of her bra. It fell open, giving him an eyeful. He couldn’t get enough of her breasts. The gentle slope of them, sitting high on her chest. The weight of them in his hands. Her pert, rosy nipples. He pulled one into his mouth until she shuddered. Her reactions gave him the biggest rush.

“Lift your butt, sweetheart,” he told her, continuing his quest to have her naked and on top of him as soon as possible. He pulled her jeans down to her knees, taking her panties along for the ride, and then freed each leg. She giggled as he maneuvered her.

Just wait, little Mel.

About Played: 

Be careful whom you trust… 

It’s something I thought I knew but with Chloe Donovan, all of my reasons seems to fly out the window the moment I’m around her. 

Blinded by lust, persuaded by love. I hedged my bets on our forever. Twice. And both times, I lost. She’s gone. And once again, she’s ruined my life. 

Stuck helping a federal agent by the name of Drake Jefferson, I’m biding my time until I can find where she is. 

I won’t be giving up my partner in crime to the authorities. I’ll be dealing out my own brand of justice, and when I’m done, I don’t care if I rot in prison for it. 

Chloe Donovan had better start sleeping with one eye open. Because I’m coming for her. 

She played me. 

I let her in, and she played me. If she sees me. She’d better run. 

I won’t be trusting her a third time.  


“Holy shit, Aiden,” Chloe gasps as she flicks the lounge room light on and finds me sitting on her couch. “You shouldn’t have come here.” 

Slowly, my eyes travel over her body, taking in every part of her that I’ve loved with such intensity, that I still have the urge to go to her and reclaim her as mine. But I stay where I am–the wound in my chest seems to ache at the sight of her. It’s as if it’s reminding me of who she is and what she’s capable of. 

Staying silent, I watch her place her handbag and keys on the side table as she reaches down to take off her heels and pushes them against the wall with her stockinged feet. 

“Can I get you a drink before you head off?” she asks, as if me breaking into her house and waiting for her in a darkened room is something that happens between us every day. 

As if seeing the man who wants an explanation as to why she double-crossed him is something that happens every day. 

Studying her as she heads to the kitchen and takes two beers out of the refrigerator, I have to wonder if she’s some sort of sociopath. She shows little emotion at the sight of me, which is shit, because I’m feeling a whole range of emotions at the sight of her… 

She stands in front of me and holds a beer out, and I set my jaw, looking up at her but refusing to take it. Pressing her lips together, she withdraws the bottle and leans to the side to place it on the chrome and glass lamp table beside me. 

“You’re angry with me,” she states, taking a seat across from me as she crosses her legs and smooths out the length of her skirt. 

“More than angry, Chloe. There isn’t even a word for how I’m feeling toward you.” 

She nods and places her bottle on the table next to her, keeping her eyes on mine. Watching me. Gauging what I’m about to do. Why is she so damn calm? She should be scared as fuck at the sight of me after what she did. 

“Is my life in danger?” 

“That depends.” 

“On what?” 

“On what your answers are.” 

“Ok.” 

“You shot me in the chest.” 

“I did.” 

“I know how good a shot you are.” 

She nods, waiting for me to continue, although I’m sure she knows exactly what my question is. 

“Why didn’t you kill me?”   



Lilliana Anderson picBestselling Author of the Drawn Series, the Beautiful Series, and the Confidante Trilogy, Lilliana has always loved to read and write, considering it the best form of escapism that the world has to offer. 

Australian born and bred, she writes New Adult Romance revolving around her authentically Aussie characters as well as a biographical trilogy based on an ex-Sydney sex worker, named Angelien. 

Lilliana feels that the world should see Australia for more than just it's outback and tries to show characters in more of a city setting. 

When she isn't writing, she wears the hat of 'wife and mother' to her husband and four children. 

Before Lilliana turned to writing, she worked in a variety of industries and studied humanities and communications before transferring to commerce/law at university. 

Originally from Sydney's Western suburbs, she currently lives a fairly quiet life in suburban Melbourne.
