Synopsis:
Expat Irish rugby player Declan Fraser only wanted to play the sport he loves. He didn’t want to be stuck in this middle-of-nowhere town at this all too quaint university. He didn’t want his team captain to be an entitled jackass who switched Declan's position on the squad just to make himself look good. And he sure as hell
didn’t want to fall in love with graduate student Autumn McShane.

Autumn is stubborn, but gorgeous; she bristles at any hint of dependency on anyone or anything, but she’s also a survivor. She’s everything Declan didn’t know he wanted. When Autumn finds herself in the middle of a challenging bet with her ex-boyfriend - who just happens to be the arrogant team captain that Declan hates - he feels honor bound to help her out. But he didn’t expect to fall for her in the process.

“Behind the Pitch” reveals the most twisted and erotic thoughts in Declan’s head as he navigates through his on again/off again, frustrating and deeply erotic relationship with Autumn McShane. And lordy, does he have a filthy mind.

My Review for Behind the Pitch 

Excerpt 

The scar was vicious. A red, jagged line that swept across her stomach, dipped in

the center where I thought the stitches must have been. It was fierce-looking, and

the only thing that disturbed the perfect contours of her creamy skin. Her stomach

was tight, toned, and I couldn’t help my bleeding fingers as they descended on her

skin, my hand as it rested above her hip or my thumb as it rubbed against that scar.

I wanted to kiss it, lick it, make this gorgeous girl see I wasn’t fussed by the mark. It

was part of her, wasn’t it? And even though I had wanted to throttle her just an hour

before, I couldn’t lie and say I hadn’t wanted her from that first chat in her

classroom. She was smart. Funny. And blimey was she fecking gorgeous.

I touched her, my thumbnail running along that pink, angry gash and her stomach

muscles twitched and the faint, nearly translucent hairs on her stomach stood on

end.

She liked that. She liked me touching her.

Well, shite, mate, that was excellent, wasn’t it now?

But I couldn’t let her see that I liked it too, the touching her bit. I pulled back,

straightened, and my first thought was to show her just how marked up I was as

well.

I showed her my shoulder, where I’d had a particularly nasty scar since I was a kid,

the one Rory McDonald gave me when he pushed me onto some broken equipment.

Her face went nearly blank, those beautiful gray eyes skimming all over my skin.

Dismissing the way she stared at me, I showed her another one just below my belly

button. “Mickey Douglas forgot to ditch his watch during a practice match when I

was eighteen. Fecking thing nearly ripped me in half when he lined me up and

smashed me as I went for a try-scoring pass.”

Then it was my stomach tightening, working the muscles hard as she stared.

Autumn swallowed and her full, pink lips moved as though they wouldn’t let

whatever was trying to come out her mouth, leave.

“That’s um, yeah.”

I took a step toward her, liking the way she stared, liking that her eyes weren’t on

my scar, but stared down at the lines in my stomach, at the thin hair above my belt.

I hoped she didn’t notice how hard I was getting. I hoped she wouldn’t see that my

body liked her eyes on my skin.

My Review for Chasing Serenity (Book #1)

Author Bio:

Eden Butler is an editor and writer of New Adult Romance and SciFi and Fantasy

novels and the nine-times great-granddaughter of an honest-to-God English pirate.

This could explain her affinity for rule breaking and rum. Her debut novel, a New

Adult, Contemporary (no cliffie) Romance, “Chasing Serenity” will launch October

2013.

When she’s not writing or wondering about her possibly Jack Sparrowesque

ancestor, thinking up impossible plots, Eden edits, reads and spends way too much

time watching rugby, Doctor Who and New Orleans Saints football.
