Author Bio
I was brought up in Manchester and I am now living in the beautiful Scottish borders with my three children.
I have enjoyed writing my story as I had a pretty hard upbringing and have suffered like everyone does over the years in different situations, but everyone has a story to tell.
I just hope my story can help someone out there who is, or has been through the same sorts of situations as myself.

Prologue
The Women's Aid worker, Pam, seems like a kind lady with short, blonde hair, and concerned grey eyes as she sits opposite me behind her desk with a sympathetic look on her face. A pen and a notebook are situated in front of her and she is listening to my every word, while I tell her of the abuse I suffered at the hands of my ex-husband. All because of a bloody tap.
I turned the tap on as slowly as I could to fill up the kettle, and the water pipe made a loud screeching sound, a rumbling that shook through the whole house. It did that every time the tap was turned on. Ian was in bed and it woke him up. He was so angry with me, he jumped out of the bed, ran down the stairs towards me and started having a complete meltdown, going completely ballistic at me for waking him up. I shook with fear his as his eyes blazed with anger; a murderous violence poured from him as he glared down at me. He started shouting at me for turning the tap on the wrong way. He said that I was a stupid fool for not knowing how do it properly. I didn’t realize there was a right way to do it. I was so frightened because I knew what was coming next.
Ian lost it completely and flew at me so fast my head spun. He was shouting and swearing; he was beyond being in control of his temper. I was scared out of my mind. I trembled as my throat closed. I proceeded to beg him not to hurt me. I pleaded with him, but it didn't do any good. He flew at me again and punched me so hard in the face that I fell on my knees on the floor. Ian didn't want to hear anything I had to say. He got right in my face with his forehead firmly pressed up against mine, pushing me down and shaking me with the force. "You’re pathetic. You don't even know how to do a simple thing. Not knowing how to turn on a tap quietly, you stupid bitch." He punched me again and again. "Next time, yeah," he shouted, "Do it fucking right." He punched me on the right side of my jaw. I could no longer hold myself up.
I slowly agreed that I was pathetic for not knowing how to turn the damn tap on correctly, then my head smashed on the floor full force.
I could feel the blow to my eyes as he repeatedly hit me over and over and again. Black spots filled my vision then everything turned black. When I came to, I couldn't believe what was happening to me, and Kayleigh. Was she ever going to be safe? What sort of mum am I to let this happen? How can I stop it? I believed that I must have deserved everything I went through. I must have one of those faces men want to injure. Ian left me alone and went to his sister’s house to calm down. I went to the bathroom and splashed my face with cold water, and it hurt so much I winced; the pain was excruciating. The water slowly soothed my face, stinging slightly with each splash. I couldn’t see very well as my eyelids had swelled and were changing colour, my tears stinging the open wounds. My head was in so much pain, I put my face back into the water in the sink to soothe it.
I looked up into the mirror; I was a complete mess. No amount of make-up was going to cover it up; it felt like my heart would pop through my chest, it was racing so hard. 
All I wanted to do was go and see my mum and tell her what happened, ask her for help. But I knew she would be disappointed in me. I couldn't call her and tell her, she would think I'm such a failure. I stared at my broken reflection in the mirror trying to figure out what I had done to deserve this and I couldn't. I was so shocked, so scared out of my mind. Ian was back in no time at all with a box of chocolates, like that made it all ok again. He said he was a psychotic human being. He kept saying how sorry he was, so sorry for what he had done, so sorry for losing control and that he couldn't believe he had hurt his woman. He promised me it would never happen again, but the damage was already done.

IT'S LIVE

This three pack includes Triple Threat, Rubbed Raw and Reckless. 14 chapters were added to this exclusive set. Book 1 of the Triple Threat series. Crystal Atkinson plays bass in the band Triple Threat, and her best friend Chad McLoughlin plays guitar. But that's not all they play together. When Crystal makes a deal for "no-strings-attached" sex with Chad, she thinks she's written the perfect arrangement for them. But two beats strike dissonant notes: Chad's been in love with Crystal for years, and Giovanni Saracino joins the band on drums. Soon, Crystal's finding herself caught between the warring impulses of her body and her soul. She'll never be in love with Chad the way he wants, but no-one else has ever made love to her like he does. Giovanni's got a heart bigger than his outsized biceps, and Crystal responds to that in ways she never imagined. Torn between the two men, both with plenty to offer her, Crystal has to choose between the needs of her heart and the aching demands from the rest of her body. Book 2 of the Triple Threat series. After being attacked by a home invader in Part One, Crystal Atkinson is trying to hold the pieces of her life together, despite her lingering terror. She's trying to maintain a relationship with her band's drummer, record a new CD, climb to the top of the East Coast music scene and deal with the fact that her best (male) friend is still in love with her. It's a volatile mix, and Crystal's emotions are just as turbulent as they find expression in a series of steamy encounters. She wants to move into the future with her drummer, Giovanni, but she's not entirely over her friend, Chad. As her future looms, Crystal's got a lot of hard decisions to make. Book .5 of the Triple Threat series. At 18, Crystal and Chad aren't quite the people they'll become. Chad is, of course, already consumed by his intense, but unconsummated love for Crystal and his obsessive need to protect her at all costs from a world that holds many hazards for a beautiful young woman. Crystal is still a virgin though, struggling with her own feelings for her best friend and her inchoate lusts. Sex is scary for Crystal, and she wants her first time to be special. On top of that, Crystal is beginning her future life as a musician, and the reality is nowhere near her rock and roll fantasies of stardom. It's a long road to the top for Crystal and Chad, but they're taking their first steps.

Bella Jeanisse hails from New York City. At 10 years old, Bella picked up her first guitar. She was
instantly hooked. Because of her deep passion for tall men, rock music, tattoos and motorcycles,
she has gotten to know many musicians and roadies over the years—in every possible way. And
although she has been writing risqué stories about musicians for many years, she has just recently
taken these tales to the next level revealing, through her protagonists, the hold some of these men
still have on her. They have inspired more than they ever imagined.
Now living in Florida with her three sons, she juggles domestic responsibilities, a social life, her
career as an IT professional and her writing as carefully as possible. They do cross paths as you
have seen in her first collection of short stories. Her life is busy and full, yet very fulfilling.
The few limits Bella puts on her love¬life may be found as but a shadow in her writing. She draws
from life, fantasy and inspiration to create each tale.
Bella has broadened her horizons to include short stories, Insatiable Appetites, with many more to
come, some just a sentence at this point. The subjects range from military men to biker chicks to
naughty doctors and much, much more. You can find a taste of the newest shorts on Wattpad.com.
The Triple Threat universe is growing... Gasoline 2 (Evolving Urges) is up next. Triple Threat 3
(Dual Desires) is finished. Soon enough you’ll also get to know Silverblade, Hands of Fate,
Winter Winds, Brass Monkey, Mark of the Devil and Wounded Hearts too...
so many hot rock stars, so little time to make them come to life.
