I nod. “Okay.”
He releases me and I move off him. He pours the vodka and hands me the glass. I down the entire thing. He watches me carefully but says nothing.
I breathe in and out, in and out. “Okay.” You can do this Lilly. I meet those beautiful sapphire eyes and I start my story. “My name isn’t really Lilly Parker.”

DEAR READERS
Wow, what can I say? You stuck with me! It’s been a long wait between Besieged and Conquered, and I so appreciate you baring with me.
When I wrote Besieged I didn’t really expect anyone to read it. I just had this urge to write, and I fulfilled it with Lilly and Theo’s story. What I did not expect was the love that was shown to Lilly and Theo. I quickly found myself scrabbling to write Conquered. It hasn’t been an easy journey writing this book. It’s moved far away from the loose casual sex of Besieged! Lilly and Theo’s story has grown and changed into something hard and gritty, but so special to me. I can only hope that I have done them, and you justice.
Thank you! Thank you so much for reading about Lilly and Theo, and whether you loved it or hated it, thank you so much for giving me a chance.
I started writing for myself, but I always say that if even one person enjoyed one of my books, then I’m happy and they were worth writing.
I so hope that you enjoyed it and that you will stay tuned for Surrendered. You won’t have to wait seven months this time.
Thank you. I cannot express how much your support means to me.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Well this section is going to be considerably longer than last time.
I published Besieged without having a clue how this crazy book world works. Fortunately for me I was quickly taken under the wings of a few blogger’s.
The last six month’s have been an insane, vertical learning curve.
So many people have helped me out and supported me with both Besieged and Conquered.
The first person I have to say a huge thank you to is Becs from Sinfully Sexy Book Reviews. Becs truly took pity on me. She was one of the first reviewers to review Besieged. She pimped it like only Becs can. So thank you Becs. You will always be that person that gave me a shot when no other blog would even review it for me. I love you girl.
I have to give a huge, huge shout out to the lovely SM Piper, my cover designer. This woman is so talented it’s ridiculous. I messaged her saying my designer had let me down. She not only took it on, but said she could make it better. She did a photo shoot especially for me and has done all the teasers and banners you see on the Facebook pages. I do not know where I would be without you. I love the cover so much. Thank you.
Whilst I’m talking about the cover. Jessica Carrier, your legs have been the topic of many conversations when I first revealed this cover. Thank you so much for modelling for the cover. You have the most amazing figure. Girl, you are hot!
Thank you to Ellen from The Book Bellas. Not only have you and your blog been avid supporters of Besieged, but you were kind enough to not only point out my editing errors in Besieged (I am aware there were a few. Yeah, learning curve!) but you then offered to be my editor. You ask for nothing in return, and I can’t thank you enough.
Thank you so much to all the ladies on my street team. You campaign endlessly to put both Besieged and Conquered in the public eye. I love all of you, but I need to say special thanks to Anne, Mary, Dawn, Linda, Stef, Ang and Georgina. You all bring something different to the table. You tell it how it is. You support me always. I would be lost without you girls.
There are many blogs who have helped me along the way, and you are all hugely appreciated, believe me. There are a few who are very special though.
As I mentioned, Sinfully Sexy Book Reviews have been tremendously helpful to me.
I want to say a big thanks to Sizzling Pages Book Reviews. Besieged was picked up and read by fellow Brit Cariad who loved it, and then got all her fellow bloggers to read it. Needless to say, you girls are all fab. So to Cariad, Ang and Nichole, thank you. You will always sit in the favourites category.
Tara and Dawn! Where would I be without your tug love. You ladies just embody everything that the erotic book world should be. You’re fun, supportive, crazy and mostly drunk. I have so much love for you girls. Don’t ever change!
Luscious Literature were a little late in discovering Besieged, but once they did, they really shouted about it. Once again, a huge input from Anne and Linda. You are two of my favourite people. Mandy also raved about the book, spreading the word on the blog.
I want to say a thank you to Summer from Summer’s Book Blog. There are few bloggers who make an author feel so welcome. Summer is always so happy to help and so enthusiastic about everything. She really is a lovely person and I wish there were more people in the world like her. Thank you Summer for always making me smile. If you lived in the UK, I know we’d be good friends.
Claire and Tara from Bare Naked Words are two ladies who have again shown me a lot of kindness. Claire, I love our book chats. I apologise for being a rubbish guest reviewer! Tara, you gave Besieged such a brilliant review and really supported it. Thank you!
I hope I haven’t missed anyone out. Just know that anyone who has ever written a review, posted a teaser or even just picked up my books and read them…Thank you. Your ongoing support means the world.
