How
do I come up with my stories? Being psychotic helps. I was a 9-1-1
dispatcher for way too long. All those years of wild requests, screwy
questions, bizarre behavior and outrageous demands have left me with
a permanent twitch and an uncontrollable craving for chocolate. Don’t
get me wrong. Working as a 9-1-1 dispatcher can be very rewarding.
BUT - some days I felt like the entire world was nuts. I mean, c’mon,
who in their right mind calls 9-1-1 for the winning lottery numbers?
To keep from hitting myself repeatedly in the head with my phone, I
took up writing.

“This series just keeps getting better and better…if that’s even possible. No one writes a rock romance like Ms. Jeanisse. She gives you the raw, gritty life of rockers who don’t follow the rules and she isn’t afraid to break your heart along the way only to put it back together again.” ~ Doris 


"Amazingly well written!!! I didn't want the book to end!!!" ~ Amy



Zack stood next to a nearby table. He smiled at Abigail’s giddy expression. She was most definitely surprised. Her gift laid just in reach. He had hidden the small box in a pair of socks for the past week.

He’d planned to mail it to her. For a change, his usual procrastination worked in his favor. He hoped she liked it. Since he finally made good money, he’d purchased what had spoken to him.

“Hey,” Abigail said as she stood in front of Zack. “Did you help?”

He couldn’t meet her eyes, afraid that would portray his feelings. “Yeah. Happy birthday.” He reached over and lifted her gift. “I got you something.” When he turned, his gaze drifted to the new tattoo. Oh, fuck! He groaned to himself but hid it well. “That’s beautiful.” He stared at her cleavage. The tattoo was prominent.

“Thanks.” She threw her arms around him and cringed when her breasts pressed against him. “Was hoping you’d like it.” She pulled back a bit. “Should I open it now?”

Kyle appeared behind her and glared at Zack. “Food’s ready.” He waited until she let Zack go. “Your dad’s looking for you.”

“OK.” Abigail smiled and followed Kyle, who she noticed was angry.

Zack sighed with relief. Then he realized she hadn’t taken his present. He put it back on the table and sat down. His stomach was doing flips. Food would likely worsen it. His gaze fell on her. She hugged partygoers and laughed. She’s happy, and that’s all that matters.

His eyes roamed her body unconsciously and stopped at her tits several times. The tattoo was eye catching and looked amazing on her.

“Should I make you a plate?” Shane asked Abigail as she greeted more guests. “We got most of your favorites.”

She smiled, excited. “After presents?”

“Eighteen hasn’t changed you, huh?” Shane hugged her. “How about you open my gift, then we eat?”

She jumped in his arms. “You bought me another present?” She thought the tattoo was her gift. “Can I open it? Please?”

“Yeah.” Shane led her to a table with a few wrapped boxes. He selected the ones from him. “Hope you like it.”

Curious, she tore the paper. When she saw the box, she squealed. “You really got it? You said I was too young.”

“Trying to throw you off.” Her happiness meant everything to him. “This too.”

Abigail was beyond grateful. He had bought her a professional camera and lenses. “I can’t believe this.” She hugged him fiercely. “Thank you so much!” She hoped she had the chance to use it that week.

“You can open a few more later.” Shane directed her toward the food. “We got vegetable lasagna.”

“You’re the best, Daddy.”

Most of the bands set to play that day attended the party. Alcohol prevailed, but the drinkers were respectful of the occasion. Music played in the background. Everyone had good clean fun for a change. It didn’t compare to the parties they normally had. Shane was grateful it had worked out so well.

Soon after they handed cake out, the party started to wind down. Crew members needed to finish setting up the stage. Zack figured he should help, so he followed Dave toward the exit.

“Wait!” Abigail ran up to him when he reached the door. “You’re leaving? I didn’t open your gift.”

He smiled. “Right, sorry.” Instinctively, he checked to see if anyone was watching them. No one paid them any mind. He pulled the box out of his jacket pocket. “It’s just something that made me think of you.”

Excited, Abigail tore the wrapping and stared. Her pulse raced. He got me jewelry? She opened it slow. “Oh my God!” The pink heart diamond pendant was gorgeous. “I love it.” Unable to hold back, she jumped on him and wrapped her legs around his waist.

It shocked Zack when she kissed him. However, he automatically embraced her. His cock swelled when she eased her tongue into his mouth. He didn’t resist and delved his into hers. A soft moan slipped out as her hand gripped his back. Then he came to his senses and forced her to her feet.

“I’m sorry.” Zack backed away from her. “That was… That was…”

She grinned. “Amazing. I love how you kiss.” She moved closer and freed the necklace from the box. “Put it on me. Please.”

With shaky hands, Zack laid the pendant on her chest, then closed the clasp. His gaze went to her breasts again. The heart settled right between them, nestled perfectly. “Wow.”

“It’s perfect.” She hugged him again, that time on her feet. “I love you too.”

His eyes opened wide. “Wait, no. That’s not what it means.” He stepped back. Fear gripped him. “It’s just a birthday gift.”

Her reaction made him realize how extravagant and significant the pendant was. He’d purchased it without thinking of that. The impulse to please her had overruled his mind.

“I’m sorry if you misunderstood.”

Her eyes watered for a few seconds. “It’s OK. I love it.” She hoped it meant he wanted to be with her. “Thank you.” She turned and rushed to the bathroom to get herself together.

Zack watched her until the door closed. He hated to hurt her. I need a drink. He sighed. No. I need to work. As planned, he left and headed for the stage.

BELLA.jpg


Bella Jeanisse lives for rock music. Addicted to concerts, Avenged Sevenfold, fictional rockers, and blasting music in the car, she can’t get enough. After her father turned her on to Queen, there was no going back. Of course, it didn’t stop there. Playing guitar became a pastime, which didn’t turn into a career… until she started to pen her fantasies and publish them.

Originally from Brooklyn, New York City, she grew up with access to clubs like L’Amour and CBGBs, hung out in Greenwich Village, as well as had plenty of friends in bands. No wonder rockers stayed on her mind. Bringing her ideas to life was a long time coming.

She is now living near Tampa, FL with 3 kids and 3 grandkids, as a single mom. Her family supports her writing even when it seems to take up more time than they feel is necessary. Can’t stop the muse, ya know!

Besides erotic rock star romances, Bella also writes about wild bikers, hot college men and more.

His To Claim by Sierra Cartwright Blog Tour







It was only supposed to be a weekend fling...but what will she do when he demands forever?

After a broken heart, Hannah Mills vowed never to offer more than her body to any Dom, but when she volunteers to be the prize at a slave auction benefitting charity, mysterious philanthropist and notorious playboy Mason Sullivan tests her resolve. The moment he sees Hannah, he’s captivated and determined to have her—at least for a weekend.

For Hannah, being claimed by Master Mason is both a dream and a nightmare. He’s devastatingly sexy, far more complicated than she imagined—and relentless when it comes to scaling the walls around her heart. No matter how she resists, layer by layer, he manages to peel her open.

When their time together draws to a close, Hannah must choose between saving her soul or risking her heart.

Often he would give her some strokes on her upper thighs, but this time he was relentless in catching her in almost the same spot over and over again. The diabolical Dom probably intended that his full name be visible through the entire wedding.

When he stopped and rubbed her skin, she was sobbing. Her hair had come loose from its updo, and she was sure mascara was streaked down her face. Still, his touch reassured her and helped their connection to grow. Even though it shouldn’t be possible, every day she loved him more.

After a few moments, she tried to push herself upright, but he placed a hand on her middle back to force her back down.

Hannah struggled for breath as he traced his entire name across her buttocks.

“We should start every day like this.”

“I’d never be able to sit down, Sir!” she protested.

“Oh, Hannah. I can solve all your problems. It just takes some creativity. For example, you can kneel, stay like this, bend over the spanking bench, or in a pinch, I can secure you to the Saint Andrew’s cross.”

Another gift he’d given to her.

“At all other times, we can stay in bed.”

“You really have thought it through, Sir.”

He helped her up, then and kissed her deeply, with his own promise for their future. True to his word, he had never pushed her to move in or even accept an engagement ring. Instead, he allowed her to set the pace, coming over when she wanted, staying if she chose. As a result, they were almost never apart. In this moment, content and protected, she knew she wanted to be with him forever.
