“Your mother’s opiates are coming from Jose Herrera’s distribution network.” My pulse races as my stepfather speaks these words. Because taking on the Herreras also means taking on Diego.

As their childhood friendship ignites, they find themselves on opposite sides of a bloody feud between the two most powerful families in Mexico City. And she’s a Moreno now—brought up to be the secret weapon nobody suspected.

But Victoria can’t deny the attraction. Diego’s commanding muscles, the coarse, dark hair of his solid chest, that rugged scar above his sensuous lips…

NEW RELEASE!!! ~ Master’s Boxset by Bink Cummings

July 2018 writinstuff Leave a comment

Title: Master’s Boxset

Author: Bink Cummings

Genre: M/M BDSM

Release Date: July 12, 2018

His Master

Six years ago, I was accepted into an exclusive BDSM commune that caters to the gay elite, and molded into the submissive of every dom’s dream. Under the ever watchful eye of Master Croy, my savior, I spend my days fulfilling my masters’ every fantasy. It has become my solace. The only place I’ve felt at home. They respect me for who I am. Made me into the man I’ve become…It is my hope that I never have to leave…

Until now…

Because of him.

The master who makes me feel.

The gray haired God who sees me as more than a slick hole and pretty face.

I’ve never felt this way before.

Things are changing.

I’m changing…But I don’t know what it means.

My home is here. I can’t leave.

But what about him? Master Kellan. I think he wants me.

And,

Can I tell you a secret?

I think I want him, too.

Master’s Vlogger

It’s been over a year since Master rescued me from the commune. Now, I live my amazing life with the man of my dreams as I pursue my career as a vlogger. The only problem is, as much as I love my master and the life we lead, I’ve sworn off all male friendships aside from Jake’s–our next door neighbor. It’s nothing personal. I just can’t seem to get past… the one thing that tore into my soul and won’t let go. I don’t want to be this way. But I can’t seem to help it…

Will Master find a way to fix what’s been broken?

Or, am I destined to live my life jaded, thanks to a scarred past?

I’m not a damn victim.

If only my brain would get the memo.

Bonus Content

Wonder what happened with Master and his Michael after Master’s Vlogger? Look no further… Find out more in this bonus short story.

She was spoiled.

She was my job.

And…

She was only eighteen.

I couldn’t help myself.

I wanted to unravel and devour every inch of her.

She was a blue-eyed, untouched, complication, and the cost of touching her was more than I could afford.

NEW RELEASE!!! ~ Wrath by Emily Blythe

July 2018 writinstuff Leave a comment

Title: Wrath

Series: Seven Vices Series

Author: Emily Blythe

Genre: Contemporary Romance Standalone

Release Date: July 12, 2018
Cover Designer: Mayhem Cover Creations

From author Emily Blythe, comes a new, standalone, contemporary romance.

Chloe Walker

Back then the boy next door was a beautiful contradiction. An avid reader, the town brawler—my dangerous crush. Until one day he up and left town like a thief in the night, leaving me devastated.

A decade later, my nightmare returned. But Will Lewin was no longer the wild, charismatic boy of my past. He was a successful restaurateur, a stranger. He was something bitter and resentful. A fully grown man…who still left me reeling.

I didn’t want his help. But I had nowhere else to turn. I had to let him back in. Even if I still hated him. Even if he could never forgive me for what I’d done.

Will Lewin

Get the job done and get the hell out of there…nothing could be simpler. Right?

But it wasn’t. I felt it in every fiber of my being—coming back was a mistake. Nothing had changed in the years since they’d driven me from my hometown. They hadn’t forgotten, and neither had I.

Ten years on, that same wrath still blistered inside me. Except now it was squarely directed at the people who had tried to destroy my life: the residents of Falcon, my high school nemesis, and most of all, Chloe…the girl who broke my heart.

Wrath is a Seven Vices novel (a series of standalones that can be read in any order). This is a steamy, full-length romance with a HEA. No cheating.

NEW RELEASE!!! ~ Forever Your Touch by Apryl Baker

Title: Forever Your Touch

Series: A Manwhore Series Book 4

Author: Apryl Baker

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: July 10, 2018
Publisher: Limitless Publishing

Mason Kincaid is a player.

He learned from the best—his brothers. He knows he’s a good-looking bastard and isn’t afraid to use his baby face on the ladies.

Life is sweet until he receives a call from his best friend begging Mason to look out for his baby sister, Josephine. A babysitting job is not on his list of things to do, but Keith is like a brother to him, and he can’t say no.

Then he meets Josephine and feels like a fifteen-year-old fanboy. Josephine isn’t just Keith’s little sister—she’s Mason’s favorite YouTuber, and Keith damn well knew it. The bastard probably laughed his ass off.

Celebrity crush or not, he takes his role as her fill-in big brother seriously, and he immediately understands Keith’s dislike of Jo’s self-centered boyfriend. The more time Mason spends with her, the harder it is not to beat the asshole black and blue.

And the harder it is to guard his heart.

Before long, the player is played. He falls in love with a woman who is not only taken, but seems to truly love her boyfriend.

But Mason is a Kincaid, and Kincaids don’t back down. He’s determined to change his manwhore ways and show Jo what it means to be treated right, cared for, and loved, even though she fights him with every breath.

Can he convince her to listen to her heart before it’s too late—and they lose the one thing they’ll never find again?
