Spotlight & Giveaway: A Little Naughty by Tia Louise

Today it is my pleasure to Welcome author Tia Louise to HJ!

Hi Tia and welcome to HJ! We’re so excited to chat with you about your new release, A Little Naughty!

Hi, Romance Lovers! Thanks for dropping in to learn about my sexy new book…
 

Please summarize the book for the readers here:

A Little Naughty is a spicy small-town marriage of convenience romance with a touch of suspense. The FMC is on the run after “rescuing” a little girl from a very bad situation. She wants to adopt her, and to speed the process, she proposes to the tattooed, motorcycle riding bad boy in town. He’s super hot, dirty mouthed, and takes pretty quickly to calling her “my wife”… It’s a steamy, exciting, and a touch angsty with a very satisfying HEA! (No OWD or cliffies!)
 

Please share your favorite line(s) or quote from this book:

“You’re a bad boy.” I study my hands resting on his chest. “My momma used to say never fall in love with a bad man, because he’ll beat you. Will you beat me?”

I look up, and when our eyes meet, anger mixes with confusion in his gaze. “Is this about that a-shole from Branson?”

My ears are hot, and I look down again. “No! He was never my boyfriend.”

“Look at me.” He gives me a little shake, and when I look up his eyes are deadly serious. “I would never hurt you, Jemima Dixon, and I’d kill anyone who did, including him. In fact, I like this arrangement. If that guy does show up at your place again, I’ll be there to teach him a lesson.”

A surge of energy tingles in my stomach, and I exhale softly. “That sounds good to me.” His jaw is tight, and I really like this side of him. Sliding my hair behind my shoulder, I throw a little sass. “You sound like my kind of bad boy.”

“Don’t get it twisted.” He leans forward, speaking in my ear. “I’ll still spank you’re a-s if it gets you off.”

The tingle in my stomach shoots lower, making my p-ssy wet. “I think it might.”

“I figured as much.” He releases me, catching my hand in his. “You’re a bad girl.”

“You’re a tease.” I skip closer, holding his arm in my hand.

“I wasn’t teasing.”

Our fingers thread, and he leads me to the road, where we left the bike. I’m a little timid to ask my last question, but I guess if I’m ever going to do it, I’d better do it now.

“I know it’s not a real marriage, but… Will you cheat on me?”

He stops walking, gives my hand a tug so I’m back in his arms, flush against his chest. Then he kisses my lips softly. “Never.”

Our eyes are locked, and I believe him. Every word. “That’s all I need to know, I guess.”

What first attracts your Hero to the Heroine and vice versa?

The FMC works for the small-town paper, and during the course of interviewing the Hero about a new business he’s starting, she shares why she loves the small town so much and why she came back… Then he takes her for a motorcycle ride on the beach as the sun is setting, and it pretty much seals the deal.

Did any scene have you blushing, crying or laughing while writing it? And Why?

Blushing? Absolutely! Crying, yes… but I’ll hold that one. Here’s a hot moment during their “honeymoon” weekend, after showering together…

Placing her on her feet again, I toss my towel to the side, watching as she scrubs her hair with her fingers. “I’m going to look like something in the morning.”

“Something f–kable.” Turning, I sit on the bed, holding out my hand. “Come here.”

She drops the towel and skips over to where I’m waiting. She lifts her leg as if she’ll ride my erection, but I stop her, lying back on the bed instead. “Get on your knees and get up here.”

Her brow furrows, but she does as I say, climbing onto the bed on her knees beside me. “What do you want to do?”

“Come here.” I reach for her a-s, moving her higher and lifting her leg. “Straddle my face.”

“What…” she starts to argue, but I shift closer to her, lifting her leg and pulling her over me and down until her p–sy brushes against my mouth.

“Oh my God…” she gasps as my tongue slides over her clit.

My hands grip her a-s, and I move her up and down over my mouth and nose as I drag my tongue along every part of her soft core.

Her eyes are fixed on mine, growing darker as her lips part. I continue moving her back and forth, but it’s not long before she’s moving on her own, riding my face like it’s a saddle.

Her eyes blink shut, and she reaches down to grip my cheeks as I trace my fingers along her a-s, around the outer edges of her thighs and lower stomach.

She starts to moan, and she leans forward, bucking her cl!t directly on my mouth…

Readers should read this book….

If you love a bad boy hero who is actually protective and caring (and plants flowers for her!)… A strong, feisty FMC who isn’t afraid to stand up for the people she loves… Found family stories… Feel-good HEAs

Excerpt from A Little Naughty:

Then the old man says the words, “Til death do you part,” and my breath catches.

Raif repeats the words without missing a beat, and with a steadying inhale, I do the same. Monay huffs a little noise that sounds like a sob.

“Do you have the rings?” The man asks.

Monay steps forward to hand me the simple gold band Cass helped me buy online from James Allen. A half smile curls Raif’s lips as he watches me hold his hand and put it on his finger.

“Never thought of myself as a ring guy.” Warmth is in his tone, and he slides it around with his thumb. “I like it.”

I feel bad we didn’t really talk about this part. “It’s okay if you didn’t—”

“I hope you don’t mind.” He holds my hand in his and slides a delicate, gold ring onto my finger. “It was my mother’s.”

Emotions flood my chest, drowning my already aching heart. My lips part, but I can’t speak. The ring is beautiful with tiny diamonds wrapped in filigree swirls. I lift my finger, holding it close to my chest like a precious treasure.

“You may now kiss the bride.” The man holds his hands up, and Raif touches my chin.

My eyes are on his tie, and my bottom lip goes between my teeth.

“Look at me, Jemima.” It’s a low order, but I shake my head.

“I can’t.”

“Why not?” I hear the grin in his voice, and I force my eyes to blink up to his.

The intensity is stronger than ever, and I can’t hold his gaze. “I thought I could do this, but now I don’t know. I’m afraid.”

“What are you afraid of?”

“You. You’re so gorgeous. It’s all so beautiful.”

And I want it to be real so much, I don’t say that part out loud.

“Just hold on to me, pretty girl. I told you, I’ll never let you get hurt.” He cups my cheek in his hand, placing his thumb on my chin. “I’m going to kiss my wife now.”

Book Info:

I wasn’t planning to propose to Raif Jones, the bad boy from the wrong side of town.
The one with the tattooed muscles, naughty blue eyes, and dimpled, James-Dean grin.

You see, it all started with a series of bad decisions.
First was flirting with a dangerous criminal to rescue a little girl I didn’t even know.
Second was throwing a massive, masked gala in my small-town hideout (complete with drag queens) and not expecting to draw attention…

Then Raif rode in on a motorcycle and melted my undies (and my heart), saying he wouldn’t let anybody hurt me.
Of course, I asked him to marry me.
Imagine my surprise when he said yes.

We’re a little naughty and a lot hot, and the perks of being married are very… perky.
They’re perky in the shower, on the kitchen table, against the front door…

Until Bad Decision #1 tracks me down (thanks to Bad Decision #2), and my outlaw husband turns Alpha Protector, risking everything to keep us safe.
It’s just a marriage of convenience. It’s supposed to have an end date.
But when the dust settles, walking away from Raif Jones could be the worst decision I’ve ever made.

(A LITTLE NAUGHTY is a small-town, marriage of convenience romance with single-mom vibes, a protective hero, no third-act breakup, and light suspense. No cheating. No cliffhanger.)
