Hi! I'm Maggie Adams, contemporary romance author. I write stories of small-town
heroes and heroines, folks just like you and me that overcome hardships, and
always have hope. That's what I love about the romance genre – whether it's a
paranormal, fantasy, historical or contemporary romance, young or old, the
characters all have one thing in common. They HOPE for love, for a solution to
the crisis, for their Happy Ever After; or at least, a happy for now.
Since I have been called "the eternal optimist" by more than one family member,
I guess that's why I am drawn to the romance genre. Truth to tell, I do try to
find the bright side in any situation, but I also work at it; more often than
not, that leads me into trouble, and it's up to my family and friends to help me
out! My husband of thirty years says it's like living in an "I Love Lucy"
sitcom, and my kids think I'm too old to be this naïve', but I do try to believe
the best in people. I guess that's why no matter how sexy the story, there's a
sweetness to all my work as well. Oh, and a piece of me, my life, is in every
book I write. So look for me in my writing; I'm usually around if someone is
meddling where they don't belong!
Ever wonder what happens to folks interviewed after a disaster that appears on
the news? I do! And, unfortunately, I had first-hand knowledge of a tragedy that
about destroyed one of many towns along the Mississippi River. It flooded in
1993, leaving total devastation in its wake, my hometown included. I saw with my
own eyes what happens in the aftermath and I had to write about it. Of course,
being the romantic at heart that I am, I had to include the boy meets girl and
falls in love part.
Well, my Tempered Steel
Series encompasses all of it. Loosely based on the flooding and rebuilding of my
hometown of Grafton, Illinois, I use some true stories of the determination of
the community and the obstacles they faced, mixed in some of the actual
businesses and landmarks affected (still there to this day), plus a healthy dose
of enough sexual innuendo and steamy romance to get your heart racing.
Based on seven brothers and their family and friends trying to bring the town
back to life, each brother has a unique personality and character trait that
makes him irresistible. But mixed in with the patented "Coalson charm" is a
strength and intelligence that only the smartest, and sassiest, of women can
handle. Together, their love runs deep, but that isn't to say they don't have
their share of problems.
I've created each book as a standalone with a central mystery woven throughout
the stories, so every time you pick up a Tempered Steel novel, you never know
what you're going to encounter. From the romantic comedy of opposites attract in
Whistlin' Dixie, to the quirky suspense of Forged in Fire, or even the
mysterious twist within Tempered with Love, I guarantee you will laugh, cry, and
fall in love with the seven brothers and their sexy soulmates.
My Lustful Trilogy is
women's erotica at its most sensual. Told through the eyes of a woman known only
as "The Widow," it's a carnal journey of a woman discovering her sexuality and
the hidden delights of dark romance. Through diaries, journals, and emails, she
embarks on her adventures with a naiveté that is sure to get her into trouble,
but what she soon discovers is that not every soul is prepared for pleasure, and
sometimes heaven comes at the end of pain.
LUSTFUL LETTERS begins
her trip into the darker passions where she explores her sexual kinks while
trying to overcome her fears of the unknown, both physically and
psychologically. But not everyone is who they say they are and predators are
lurking ready to snatch up the unsuspecting.
LUSTFUL LIES continues
her tumble into the lifestyle of BDSM. She thinks she has found the Dominant for
her submissive side, but in a cruel twist of fate, her dreams are shattered, and
she is left floundering to recoup her loss and find her way back to sexual
freedom. Her reckless behavior continues in defiance of her past pain until she
must decide what she truly desires or become one of the many helpless souls that
succumb to the lustful lies of predators.
In the final installment of the trilogy, the Widow is aided in her sexual quest
by the one man she knows she can trust with her submission and her heart. His
lifestyle of polyamory leads her to discover that the love of one man can be
ecstasy, but the love of more is for her, truly Nirvana.
Happening in the future:
I'm happy to say that those little voices in my head have not quieted and I'll
soon be publishing novels in several different subgenres of romance, including
paranormal, young adult, and fantasy. Stay in touch with me through social media
and my newsletters for games, giveaways and new releases!
Lustful Trilogy
#3
I have found my dream lover and, appropriately, his name is Morpheus. He has
shown me how to be truly free in my sexuality; to trust another human being with
my deepest desires, and to love without reservation or fear. We have a true
power exchange when we play – no, we do not play, we live! Our lives and our
sexual lifestyle have evolved so that one constantly compliments the other. I
can’t imagine a happier, more fulfilling life.
Then, my world tilts on its axis.
Reality returns with a vengeance. My lover becomes ill and I find myself
fighting for my former, happy life. Morpheus is ambivalent to his fate. He is
more concerned with my future happiness without him. His abhorrence to leave me
“a Widow” again, alone and afraid, leads him to formulate a plan to send me into
the arms of another man. But his desperate longings to see me in passion’s
embrace make him take the role of a cuckold. He has picked the man to help me if
he should not survive, but it’s a double-edged sword as he forces himself to
watch me falling deeper into the arms of the man he has chosen to replace him in
all ways.
My guilt and longing for this man sends me to seek the help of an old friend.
While I am welcomed with open arms, the lovely Bianca has plans of her own. In
the end, it is up to Morpheus to either release me into the arms of new lovers,
or allow me to ease his Lustful Longings in a new way.
