Hollywood Royalty by TS
McKinney – Out Now! #bdsm #humor #contemporaryromance
Book Blurb
Victoria Winstead. My
parents are the reigning King and Queen of Hollywood and since I am their only
child, that clearly means I am a pampered princess who is accustomed to getting
everything I want, when I want it, and how I want it…and right now, I want the
most coveted role in Hollywood. Only one
thing stands in my way.
Grayson Leman. This
bastard is the only son of the reigning Prince and Princess of Hollywood and I
hate everything about him, always have and always will. Our families have a history and it isn’t
pretty. It’s ugly, Hollywood style. Oh
yeah, he’s the one thing standing in my way.
Annabelle Hutchinson.
She’s the creation of a writing trio that has managed to rock the entire
female population with their erotica novel, Dark Lovers. They have single-handedly brought mommy porn
front and center and made it not only acceptable but sexy as hell. A movie deal was made and I am literally
(this is embarrassing to say) having to actually fight for something for the
first time in my life.
Not to worry, though…I am Hollywood Royalty.
2 sentence tag line:
Victoria thought that she would give anything for the role of
Annabelle Hutchinson. She just didn’t realize
what she would end up losing.

Excerpt:
“You leaving in the morning, Gabe? Or staying the day?” His band members got up and shook his hand as
he started to leave. They didn’t tease
him, but I could tell they wanted to.
Badly.
“I’m staying. I’ll see
you Sunday night.”
“Great. Okay. You guys have an…an exciting night.” He was stalling. I swear he was stalling.
Honestly folks, I didn’t want to say anything. It had been my vow to myself to give him the
silent treatment all evening long. I had
done so well. I should probably be
nominated for an Oscar for my performance. Not one time did I lean in to sniff
his intoxicating scent. Nope, I
didn’t. Nor did I allow my gaze to stray
toward that body that was made for nothing but pure undiluted sin. Nope, the
only time I looked at him was to roll my
eyes or glare. Ignoring him had been my
only task for the evening. I had been an
awesome bitch…up until now. For some
reason, unknown to me, I couldn’t stop the word from slipping between my lips
as he turned to walk away.
“Pussy.”
Memphis had to struggle to keep the full blown smile from
covering her face. Gabe didn’t even try
to hide his reaction. He slammed his
fist on the table. The rest of the table
just looked shocked and appalled by my outburst. I felt a blush start to stain my cheeks and I
fought furiously to clamp down on the feeling.
I didn’t need to feel bad for being mean to him or embarrassing
him. He, my friends, is the enemy. Yet, I wasn’t really as proud of myself like
I’d always imagined I would be in a situation like this.
He stopped walking and stood with his back to us for several
long, intimidating seconds. From the way
the muscles in his back quivered, I believe he was trying to control his
temper. Oh, well. I wasn’t really worried. It isn’t like Mister Boy Scout would ever hit
a girl, right? I felt myself start to
fidget when he just stood there. We had
also caught the attention of several of the patrons that were seated around us. In fact, I believe we were making quite the
spectacle of ourselves.
“Just go, Grayson. Don’t
do it,” Gabe pleaded. He glared at me in
disgust. “You don’t have anything to
prove, especially to her.”
Finally, Grayson slowly turned around and looked me dead in the
face…hard. This time, I definitely
started fidgeting in my seat. His
intense stare was breathtaking with his bright blue eyes and girly lashes. God, did I mention how hot he was? “What did you say to me?” he asked
quietly. When he’d been on stage
singing, his voice had sounded like hot whiskey – now he sounded cold and
furious. Well, he could just get over
himself. I didn’t like him. I wasn’t trying to be his friend or suck up
to him to get him to star in their movie.
I, my dear friends, didn’t give a flying fuck what he thought about me.
“She called you a pussy, dude.”
Gabe answered loudly when I failed to answer promptly enough to suit
him. Of course, when Gabe said it,
everyone within a ten mile radius heard him.
I was seriously getting tired of dear ole Gabe, really fast.
Grayson’s jaw ticked and his mouth formed a frown that didn’t
do a damned thing to make him unattractive.
I guess this is why our families had always worked so hard to keep us
apart from each other. He was hot enough
that I wouldn’t be able to keep my hands to myself and I was bitchy enough that
my very touch would soil his pure skin.
“Yep, I called you a pussy, Grayson. Got a problem with that?” I sounded a lot tougher on the outside than I
was feeling on the inside. It actually
bothered me to be mean to him and I had no clue why.
“Yea, I guess I do,” he answered with a lazy shrug of his
perfectly shaped shoulders—you know, not too much muscle but just enough to
make a girl swoon? “Actually, I have a problem
with how you’ve treated me all night long,” he explained as he closed the
distance between us with a determined stride.
Once he was close enough, he grabbed his vacated chair, swirled it
around, slammed it right up against my knee, and straddled it. When we were practically eye to eye, he
continued, “I’m pretty sure I’ve never done anything to offend you personally,
but you still act like a bitch. Why is
that, Vic? Are you afraid of me?” His voice was low enough that I was the only
one that could hear him unless people rudely moved in closer. I knew they wanted to, but they didn’t. Actually, Memphis wouldn’t let them. It was a good thing Memphis could multi task
because she was having to keep other patrons away from us and keep Gabe in line
at the same time. Gabe was even more
furious than Grayson was and that made about as much sense as the way I felt
with Grayson being so close to me.
“Afraid of you? Mister
Boy Scout? I seriously doubt that,” I
answered smugly. “I just don’t like you.”
“You don’t know me.”
Well, he had me there, but I didn’t intend to back down. “I don’t have to know you to not like
you. Don’t let it hurt your feelings,
sweetie. Are you going to cry like your
mommy did?”
Yea, I went there. The
minute I did, I wished I hadn’t. Too
late. I watched many emotions cross
through those blue eyes—hurt, anger, surprise, lust…
He tilted his head to the side and studied me like I was some
kind of sideshow freak. I could tell he
was pondering something. Maybe punching me in the face and seeing if he could
make me cry? Right when I was about to cave and apologize, he leaned in
and whispered in my ear, “You want to make me scream, don’t you, Vic? You want to hurt me?” I could feel his hot breath tickling my neck
and sending waves of desire rushing through me.
Actually, those waves had started the minute he had gotten close to me.
It was his hot breath or the way his tongue almost touched my ear when he
spoke. “You wanna do it on stage? How brave are you?”
