NOT QUITE JULIET
SILVER SOUL BOOK 1
A CLUB IMPERIAL NOVEL
Continuing the Club Imperial Series with Silver Soul Book 1
Silver Soul is a hot local band without big aspirations. Good boys during the day, bad asses at night, they play for the love of the music. They have all the requisite members: the hot lead singer; the wild and crazy bassist; the dreamy, laid-back rhythm guitarist; the animal on drums; the organized, behinds-the-scenes genius manager- and trouble on the lead guitar.
And, of course, fangirls. Morgan Kirkbride is the self-professed super fangirl of Silver Soul. If they’re playing and she finds out, Morgan has to be there. One fateful night, by the grace of beer and peanuts, she falls for very hot, very sexy Nick D.
Literally.
Morgan was sure the lead singer of Silver Soul thought she was a graceless flake when he asks her to a midnight diner and winds up back at her place. She’s captivated, but sure it’s just a crazy one-night fling… Imagine her shock when the very next Monday at Allegheny County Courthouse, the highly respected, well-credentialed chemist Dr. Nicholas Dovadsky is called as a witness — and Morgan recognizes him as the rock god who rocked her bed. Sparks fly between them, but things get complicated - fast. But Nick doesn’t intend for anything or anyone to prevent him from getting to know the spunky, if clumsy, curvaceous woman. He just keeps coming back again and again.
When an ex-boyfriend returns to haunt Morgan and her roommate, no one takes him seriously. But when the simple threats become violent, perverse and horrifying, she realizes someone is out to get her. While nothing is what it seems, there’s one thing Morgan can be sure of…she wants Nick in her life. Permanently.
**Content Warning: Explicit language and graphical content. Intended for 18+ audience.

HERE'S AN EXCERPT FROM NOT QUITE JULIET
Not Quite Juliet, Silver Soul 1- A Club Imperial Novel
by Katherine Rhodes
We strolled into the store and ordered. He ordered a pastrami and cheese and I had to get the knockwurst. He looked at me crooked when I ordered it.
“What?” I asked giving him the side-eye.
“Never would have pegged you for a knockwurst girl.”
“This is the only place I’ve found one I like outside of Wisconsin.”
He stopped. “You’re not from Pittsburgh?”
“Is this a problem? I’m legal. Wanna see my papers?”
He laughed. “You’re really a cheesehead?”
“Born and bred and got the fuck out.”
He nodded and 'hmmed' at me. “Not a lover of the Badger State?”
“Not a lover of the people who live near Edgar, Wisconsin. Not a topic I care to waste my lunch discussing.” I could feel my anger rising already; I really didn't need it right now, not when I had just finally been offered a real full time job. Assholes. I pushed the thought out of my head. I pulled out my debit card to pay for my lunch and he grabbed it back. “Nope. My treat.”
“No, you treated for... whatever the hell that was last night.”
“My treat.”
I stared at him. “You are not going to pay for every meal we have together.”
“I plan on it.” He crooked his head and smiled and handed my card back to me and motioned to the clerk to charge him for both.
I swallowed hard. I had to stop my anger from boiling up. At least this time I recognized the anger didn't have a thing to do with him and everything to do with the assholes back in Edgar, Wisconsin. It wasn't Nick's fault; he had no idea how upset I could get over mentioning them, thinking about them, remembering they even drew breath in the same atmosphere I did.
Nick took my arm and walked me over to a table. “Are you okay? I didn't know you'd get so angry over the bill. I'll let you pay next time.”
I waved him off. “Not you, not your fault. Sorry. Just give me a minute.” I put a hand on my forehead and took a few deep breaths. I had to remember I was currently, and once again, sitting across from a rock god who just bought my lunch after buying me Fourth Meal last night. I had also just gotten a full time job. I still had Imperial, and I had friends who were completely amazing.
Nick grabbed my hand as they put the sandwiches on the table with us. “Morgan?”
I took a deep breath, and shook the whole thing off. “Yes. I'm sorry.”
“You scared me,” he said, his voice plain.
“Bad memories,” I explained. I looked down. “Good sandwiches.”
“Good sandwiches,” he agreed. “Okay?”
“Yes. It's a good day. New full time job, hot guy buying me lunch.”
“Hot girl having lunch with me.”
And the sex-crazed fan girl was back. I slipped my shoe off under the table and ran it up his leg. Didn't take the bitch very long to recover from that glitch. And oh, my, did he have muscular legs. I seemed to remember those from the night before.
He choked a little on the sandwich, and looked at me, shock all over his face. He put the food down and pulled out his phone. I watched as he paged through the phone, extremely intent on whatever it was he was doing. I picked at my lunch, and he glanced up at me a few times. The shock in his face changed slowly to the cute smile, then to the sexually devious grin I’d seen a few times in the past twelve hours.
Just twelve hours? Really?
He finally looked up and gave me a full on smirk. He pushed the phone across the table for me to look at it. There was a receipt on the face of it, and when I pulled it closer, my mouth fell open.
Reservation confirmed for 1 (one) room w/King size bed.
I pursed my lips. Well then, are you happy, you sex-crazed maniac bitch? I looked at him through my lashes. “Why Doctor Dovadsky. Are you propositioning me?”
“Well, apparently Freud thought I should earlier. And with that pretty little foot of yours teasing me...” He leaned in. “It's the Omni. Four blocks. Ten minute walk max.”
I pointed to the food. “To go?”
He looked around. “Can I get a doggy bag?!”
“What?” I asked giving him the side-eye.
“Never would have pegged you for a knockwurst girl.”
“This is the only place I’ve found one I like outside of Wisconsin.”
He stopped. “You’re not from Pittsburgh?”
“Is this a problem? I’m legal. Wanna see my papers?”

Teaser Tuesday... On Wednesday :)
Here's a sneak peak into Against All Odds my novella for the Bad Boys Of Romance Biker Anthology.
“Open up.” Cole growled. As Rylan parted her full lips, he slid the wedge between her teeth, pulp side out. He stared into her eyes a moment longer before tipping the tequila bottle and pouring the liquid into her belly button, it pooled spilling over and collecting in tiny puddles on her hard stomach. He dipped his head, flattening his tongue on her chest he collected the salt, placing an open mouthed kiss on her warm skin and leaving her covered in goose bumps. As he held the salt on his tongue he moved lower to start sucking on the pools of liquor finally reaching his destination she shuddered in response to his suckle and nips to the center of her stomach. Cole pushed off the table before placing his hands on either side of her head, dropping his own head to steal the lime from her mouth. With him caging her in she had no choice but to wait as he pulled the juice from the lime and spit out the wedge. Bringing his mouth back to hers, he kissed her softly as her eyes closed and she lay there motionless. Cole drew back, smirking and winking in Rylan’s direction.

Candice's Story Book Trailer
Candice's Story Book Trailer
When I released Candice's Story, I used Animoto to make a book trailer. At the time I shared it on Facebook but didn't share it anywhere else. I was updating my Amazon Author Central Author Page this morning and there was a place to add the book trailer. It gave me the idea to add it here too. Hope you enjoy!

Where you can find me...
I promised myself I would be more active on social media. I also promised myself I would dedicate time to writing. We'll see how all this pans out with real life.
I have made some amazing friends through social media and would like to use it to help promote those friends and the wonderful work they do. Yes many of them are authors but I have also made connections with bloggers and photographers as well. So bear with me as I get myself in to a schedule and routine. I would like to spotlight like posts a couple times a week featuring different individuals.
TODAY, I'll share my social media links as well as my book links that I already posted.

I currently have two books available on most platforms. Both books are part of my Young Adult series. The Falling Series begins with the first book Falling Behind.
SYNOPSIS
Tragedy claims the
innocence of three friends that had their hearts set on experiencing a fun and
carefree sophomore year. Titus notices early on things aren’t what they use to
be or even seem to be. His best friends Candice and Reese are in troubling
relationships and he feels as if his hands are tied. He’s offered to listen and
questioned what’s wrong. Candice has visible bruises as well as becoming the
shell of the fun-loving friend he’s grown up with. While Reese, the friend he’s
been in love with for years, has started to pull away due to her boyfriend.
Titus made a promise
to Candice not to confess his feelings to Reese. When two unthinkable
catastrophes threaten to tear Reese from Titus, he has to choose between love
and loyalty. Does breaking a promise, break the bonds of friendship when one of
the friends is no longer living?
Titus can see the world around him crumpling. He wasn’t able
to save Candice and feels as if there is no way to break the promise he made to
her. As he watched Reese climb out of the depths of her own heartbreak to deal
with the loss of Candice he realizes confessing to Reese maybe the only way to
save her.
PURCHASE LINKS
The second book released in the series is a companion novella. Candice's Story starts before Falling Behind and follows Candice Warner's tragic life.
SYNOPSIS
Candice Warner ends her freshman year single, and
ready for a summer of fun. When her current crush asks her to be his
girlfriend, Candice soon learns what one bad decision can do to your life.
Alex Martinez is the hot and sexy senior that has
eyes for Candice. Devastatingly enough, it’s not the only thing he has for her.
He convinces her to try drugs and live a little.
Candice is determined to stay away from the drugs,
but each time Alex’s withdrawals send him on a rampage, where she is his
target, she finds the need to use drugs stronger than ever.
Knowing the drugs are what’s causing the abuse and
trying to get him to quite with her, Candice stays. She battles a mental fight
about right and wrong. Feeling the domino affect her decisions have on her
life, Candice twists and spirals downward, headed for rock bottom. Will she get
out and speak up? Can she save herself?
PURCHASE LINKS
The third book in the series is Falling Apart and focuses on the aftermath of the tragedies of Reese and Titus' sophomore year. I am working on FA now along with a short story for an anthology. You can find out more about FA and my anthology in the WIP tabs.
