Please, ladies and gentlemen, a big cheer for Dania Voss' debut novel On the Ropes!
I will let lovely Dania introduce herself and the story:
"Dear Katherine, thank you for hosting me today.
Having been a voracious romance reader since my teens, it had been a “dream” of mine to write a romance novel. A computer nerd by profession, I was doubtful I was creative enough to actually do it. But after so many years of reading and then meeting many romance authors whose novels I enjoy at a conference a few years back, I decided why not? I can do this!
My original idea was to create two fictional towns near Dallas, Envy and Rapture and include all the elements that I’ve enjoyed reading over the years – MF and ménage pairings, BDSM clubs, shifters, cowboys and military men. I created an entire cast of characters – human and shifter – that I fell in love with. I was afraid that since I was just starting out as a novelist that I wouldn’t be able to do them justice.
I chose to start right where I am – in the Chicagoland area. From a little personal tidbit of information a friend shared with me, I developed a new set of characters who I love just as much and you’ll meet in On the Ropes, and they will interact with my Texas crew before I head there myself to write their stories."
Fascinating!

Ten years
ago he let her get away. Does he have what it takes to make her his for good?
By all accounts Luke “Strike ‘em Out” Stryker lives a
charmed life. He’s won 4 World Series Championship rings and is the Chicago Cobras
star pitcher. He’s gorgeous, wealthy and is dating one of Hollywood’s biggest
A-list actresses.
But things aren’t always as they appear.
Abbey Jayne has been nursing a broken heart since Luke
Stryker betrayed her ten years ago. She’s spent the last ten years focused on
her career and education, trying to get over him.
Forced to see him again at her sister’s wedding, Abbey vows
to not let Luke ruin her weekend.
An accident days before the wedding has Luke re-evaluating
the harsh realities of his life and future. A future that must include his one
true love Abbey.
A terrible misunderstanding drove them apart ten years ago,
but Luke is determined to win Abbey back by the end of the wedding weekend.
He’ll do whatever it takes to convince her they belong together. Failure is not
an option.
Abbey remembered Luke’s talented tongue. He’d spent
hours using it all over her. Kissing her senseless with just the right amount
of firmness. Licking her nipples relentlessly until they ached so good. And
when he used his tongue between her legs, it hadn’t taken many swipes against
her throbbing clit to set her off like a rocket ship.
For the next few minutes, he continued to feed them
from their dessert plate. Although Abbey enjoyed the delicious treats she was
being fed, she enjoyed watching Luke’s mouth as he ate even more. She imagined
his mouth, lips, and tongue on her, and by the time they’d had their fill of
dessert, she was hot and aching. Her panties were damp and she desperately
needed relief. The kind only Luke could provide.
She was practically vibrating in her chair and her
breaths reduced to quick pants. Luke licked his lips and she couldn’t wait
another minute to get a taste of him. She leaned in and he met her halfway.
Abbey startled and quickly pulled away at the
amplified sound of the DJ’s voice. “All right, everyone, we’re going to get the
evening’s festivities underway. The photographers have set up in the corner
next to the gift table for anyone who would like to have pictures taken. Jake
and Cassie, come on up for your first dance as man and wife.”
Abbey shivered and tried to calm down. She looked
over to Luke and saw him frowning. “Bad timing, DJ dude,” he mumbled.
She giggled at him as she joined the guests and
applauded while Cassie and Jake went to the dance floor for their first dance.
Luke reached over and held her hand, and they both watched, hand in hand, as
the newlyweds danced to “The Way You Look Tonight” by Tony Bennett. From the way
Jake was looking at Cassie—with love, lust, and contentment—it was the perfect
song. Abbey teared up. Once upon a time, Luke had looked at her the same way.
She felt his warm fingers brush away a stray tear on
her cheek. His simple touch made her insides sizzle. This is so unfair. He turned her head, so she faced him. “No tears,
princess.”
Luke leaned in and her eyes drifted shut. She should
have pulled away but didn’t have the will left in her to do that. The soft,
warm brush of Luke’s lips on hers left her reeling. The world around them fell
away. She’d missed Luke so much. Missed everything
Luke. Abbey’s head was swimming. She wanted him, needed him so badly.
Luke licked the seam of her lips, seeking entry, and
Abbey opened her mouth, happy to let him inside. The first taste of him was a
sweet mix of the delicious desserts they’d just shared—chocolate, tart apples,
cheesecake, and more. His big warm hands cradled her face as their tongues
tangled and danced. More decadent than any dessert.
Abbey lost herself in him. Her heart raced and her
skin felt hot and tight. Her breasts were swollen and heavy and her panties
were soaked. Luke moaned sexily and she was ready to toss him under the table
and—
“If the bridal party and parents of the bride and
groom would like to come to the dance floor now, please.”
