Please help me welcome Author Elodie Parkes to my blog today!
Just
a little about her to let you readers know who she is:
I
live in the United Kingdom and I work in an antiques shop as well as writing. I
have two dogs that keep me fit with their need for walks. I love the
countryside and the coast.
I
write romance, contemporary, and erotic with a twist of mystery, suspense, or
the paranormal, now and then. I like to make the story unusual in some way, by
a quirk in the tale. My books are always steamy.
Thank
you for inviting me to your fabulous blog to celebrate the release of my erotic
romance, ‘The Old Star’ with a cover reveal.
The
love story has paranormal threads, a little mystery and magic, it’s erotic and
I hope everyone enjoys reading it as much as I loved writing it.
The
idea came to me when I was working. Sometimes in my job I have to travel to
places where an antique has been offered for sale to the place I work. I had to
go look at a chaise longue that was in a semi derelict house. The place was
going to be demolished and so I was to buy the item, get it loaded in the truck
and bring it back to the store. The guy selling it was just lovely. He and
another hunk loaded the chaise longue into the pick-up for me. I’m small and
slim so I generally get the help, but this guy was extra helpful and yummy.
(Pity we passed each other like ships in the night). The house was spooky and
the chaise longue, although needing reupholstering, was great. On the way back
to work the story of ‘The Old Star’ dropped into my head. The title had been
with me for a few weeks after I saw an old building with that name plaque
hanging off the ruins, next to a burned out barn.
Here’s
the blurb for the book.
The
Old Star
She
was looking for new office space...but it found her…what’s hidden in this

take. Waiting on a street unknown to her is a house. Old and left to fade away
the house looks shabby against its neighbors. The whole row of houses are now
offices and Cathy sees a ‘for let sign’ outside the place. Something draws her
to the house. Someone watches from the third floor window.
Cathy
applies to rent the building to expand her dating agency business. As she
begins to make it ready, the house reveals its secrets.

Here’s an excerpt, 18+ R rated
Cathy had
surprised herself by falling into the kiss with Owen, but she found him so
attractive she just let it happen. She felt the most delicious softness creep
over her, as his tongue found hers, and when he pressed her close to his body,
she wanted to stay there forever. Her whole body tingled with need and now as
he kissed down her neck waves of sexual heat moved down through her stomach and
made her pussy wet. She throbbed between her legs as the wetness increased when
she felt his hard cock against her.
Cathy
hadn’t had too many sexual relationships, but she knew the depth of need to
feel him inside her was new. It was intense, as if every nerve in her body had
sprung to life.
She pressed
back, holding him around the neck to kiss him. Her nipples felt hard and needy.
She wished he’d pull off her shirt and suck them into his mouth. She wished
he’d unzip her jeans and feel how wet she was for his cock. She didn’t know
what to do except kiss him and her kiss became more urgent and hungry.
He was
drawing away from her. He had moved from her. She couldn’t feel his erection
anymore. ‘Don’t stop, please.’
