*~*Love Notes: Oliver to Natasha – Amor Battu by M.J. Fields*~*
My dreams were always in black and white, once in a while, I’d be gifted something gray.
Until her.
Then, I broke her. I tore her up. I shattered her. But she was breathing, living, and I knew damn well, she was on the verge of loving, but it couldn’t be me.
I turned from her for the red white and blue. Because war, destruction, hell even death was more welcome than the possibility of hurting her.
I didn’t deserve her, and she sure as f*@^ didn’t deserve me.

“I let my inhibitions go, and they fell in the wrong place. I didn’t know he would be my unraveling. I didn’t know he was twenty-five.”
A single mother often lives by certain rules, and Angela Petrov has made certain to adhere to hers: Mom first, career second, and no man will meet her child unless they will be in her life long-term.
However, with her daughter now in college, the company she has worked at for over a decade facing major changes, and no lover in sight, Angela’s life has lost all its carefully construed and configured organization.
When news that the annual, employee, Labor Day party in the Hamptons will still be held, Angela tries to bail out. However, her best friend and coworker, Autumn, convinces her otherwise.
Turns out that, while attempting to enjoy the elite Hampton nightlife with her coworkers, she meets a much-younger, tall, dark, and sexy man who offers her an escape for the long weekend. So, throwing caution to the ocean breeze, she accepts his offer of a true time-out in life, focusing only on time between the sheets with no …strings attached.
What happens when you allow yourself to let go of life’s stresses, release inhibitions, and embrace desire?
You chase regret.

Natasha,
Since the day I saw you, you’ve held my heart. You held it so tight you made it beat again for the first time in years. From that moment on, it races whenever I see your beautiful face. The scar you tried to hide is my second favorite spot on your body to kiss. The scars on mine that you caress with your hands, your lips… fuck I get so hard when I think about it.
Christ Little Warrior, thinking back I can pinpoint the hundreds of times I could have messed this up, us up. You know I will never say I’m sorry. You know that’s something I can’t be. I’m blessed, so blessed, that you knew I was worth it, before I even did.
But I couldn’t come at you and promise all you deserved when I was half a man. You deserved me whole.
But you knew, you knew just like I did, that we were something bigger than either of us ever dreamed possible.
We grew as individuals through the years I fought against us, we grew stronger, and better apt to be two people who were strong enough to become one, one that will never fail or fall apart. You are not mine, and I am not yours, we are one… seamlessly.
Baby, we’ve healed all our scars, and we made them even more beautiful, together.
I know we celebrate our love daily, and I know we said we didn’t need a day like Valentine’s Day to remind each other of our love, but I need you to sit at your vanity, to do that thing you love to do with makeup, and dress your sexy little self-up in lace underneath one of your de la Porte, designs.
A car will be at the house in an hour, to bring you to meet me for dinner, at 58 Eiffel Tower, where we had our first real date. But no dessert this time. We’ll need to eat fast, because I’m already imagining you naked, spread out on your back while I devour my favorite treat in the entire world, you.
All my heart, all my love,
Oliver
USA Today Bestselling author MJ FIELDS grew up on a farm surrounded by her extended family. She attributes her ability to write a realistic male character to the fact that she had a large amount of male influences in her life… that and the dirty joke books she would steal from her uncles or the farms hired help and run away laughing while they chased her yelling obscenities trying to get her to return the books before her God fearing mother found out and spanked her butt with a flyswatter.
No she wasn’t physically abused, she very openly admits that she deserved every imprint left on her ass from the flyswatter. (Could this be why she loves tattoos? Maybe.) After each spanking she would run away, usually through the fields and down to the falls where she would laugh because it really didn’t hurt, while she read the book she had stolen and stashed when no one was looking.
When she wasn’t misbehaving she was working side by side with her male family members learning what hard work, loyalty, and dedication was all about, spending time with her grandmothers who taught her all about love and blind faith, or dancing and singing in the kitchen with her four siblings while her mother gave them all a childhood filled with love and encouragement to use their imagination and follow their dreams.
Her love of writing was in full swing by age eight. Together with her cousins, she wrote a ‘newspaper’ that they sold for ten cents to family members.
Her school years were spent hanging in the principal’s office or a shit list somewhere. Weekends she could be found spending time with her family or hanging out with more males than females, in the fields with tailgates down and a bonfire burning while music played loudly in the background. Some of those times ‘allegedly’ had alcohol involvement, she will neither confirm nor deny.
As an ‘adult’ she self-published her first Contemporary, New Adult romance, in January 2013. Today she has completed several self-published series. The Love series, The Wrapped series, The Burning Souls series, The Truth About Love duet, The Norfolk series, The Men of Steel series, The Ties of Steel series, The Rockers of Steel series, The Matched duet, and Steel Country. She is currently writing the second book in Tied to Steel and the third book in the Firsts series. She also released two stand alone, Offensive Rebound, and The Original Sin, a book she wrote with five, yes five, other authors. It is her darkest book to date.
MJ has been told by several readers that they had never read a book that involved a Prince Albert piercing and although she cannot claim the title, it is said she may possibly be “The Pioneer of the Pierced Penis”, in the Contemporary / New Adult book world, of course. (Naughty naughty.)
MJ is a hybrid author who loves her readers and tries her best to write as much as she can for them. She believes she has the best reader’s in the entire world (many of us agree. Forever Steel baby). She publishes an Indie book almost every month. She is also signed with a traditional publisher, Loveswept, Penguin Random House, for her co-written series The Caldwell Brothers with Chelsea Camaron. Hendrix, Morrison, Jagger, and Visibly Broken are available now. MJ and Chelsea Indie published another book in the Caldwell ‘family’ of books, Use Me.
There is always something new in the works and she has stories to write for her readers for years to come. Her alpha male characters are some of the best in the industry, but remember before they fall many of them can be considered crude, rude, pierced, and tattooed. (Just the way we like them!)
If you are offended by the ‘F’ word she advises you either take a pass on her books or pull up your big girl thong, sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy the ride. If you can’t handle the heat you should stay out of the … well the Steel and Sin book worlds anyways. If heat is all you’re looking for she insists you be warned the heat will draw you in, but the heart, depth, and emotion in the books will keep you coming back for more.
MJ was a former small business owner who closed shop after the success of the Men of Steel series so she could write full time.
She lives in central New York surrounded by family, friends and fur babies. Ninety percent of the time life is a noisy, beautiful, chaotic mess but in the evening hours when everyone is tucked in tight you will find her with a laptop in her comfy chair writing about the men we dream will step off the pages and into our lives.
MJ believes in love and that there is someone for everyone.
