NEW RELEASE!!! ~ Interference by Harlow Cole

Leave a comment
Title: Interference (St. Michaels Duet #1)
Author: Harlow Cole
Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance
Release Date: July 18, 2019

Brayden

I’m a goddamn prodigy. It’s true. Ask anyone.
I threw my first curveball the day I was born.
 
The whole town is waiting on me.
To live up to my father’s famous name. To reach for the stars. 
 
All I want to reach for is her.
 
But Ashley is the sweet addiction I can’t afford. She’s my best friend’s sister. Hell, she’s practically my little sister. For years, I’ve protected her from guys that want one thing. What happens now that I’ve turned into one of them? Who’s gonna shield her from the way I was made, from my little white lies and from what I’m about to become?
 
My game plan sounds simple: Pitch my way into the Major League draft and stay out of Ashley Foster’s pants. That first part may be statistically difficult.
 
The second feels damn near impossible.
 
 
Ashley
From the moment we met, I knew he was trouble.
The kind my mother sent me to find.
The type that ruins you for any other brand.
 
When we were young kids, I didn’t know what to call the frogs and butterflies that danced in my belly whenever Brayden came near. Now I know they have a name.
 
Those three little words that could heal or destroy him.
 
Before Brayden, my life was normal. And then it wasn’t. It couldn’t be. Ever again. How was I to know stealing his seat would change all our lives?
 
Anger and forgiveness share two halves of the same coin.
 
Our story might make you choose sides.

NEW RELEASE & EXCERPT!!! ~ Game Changer by Sylvie Stewart

Leave a comment
Title: Game Changer
Author: Sylvie Stewart
Genre: Contemporary Romantic Comedy
Release Date: July 18, 2019
There are three things I know about New York so far: everybody is late for something, nobody has a freakin’ clue what sweet tea is, and King Kong himself is still alive and well and has taken the form of a growly blacksmith named Mac.
 
This is no shifter story and I’m not his prey, although I wouldn’t say no if he asked for a little taste. I’ve been saddled with interviewing the beast to secure my new dream job in publishing, but his intense stares and monosyllabic responses are making my job impossible. I just need to get this over with and move on to navigating my new life and career. I’ve got this, right?
 
But my professional and personal challenges are proving bigger than I realized, and Mac might be the only one who truly understands this game. He’ll be my biggest ally if I let him—and the way he keeps saying my name makes me really want to let him. The thing is, this city is known for breaking hearts, and it doesn’t care if you’re the new girl in town or the beast who calls it home.

NEW RELEASE!!! ~ Sever by T.L. Smith and Melissa Jane

Title: Sever
Authors: T.L. Smith & Melissa Jane
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: July 18, 2019
One man’s wife is another’s obsession.
 
We had a love I thought could never be broken. But I was wrong. We weren’t as strong as our vows once promised.
 
Dark secrets and vicious lies, they tore us apart.
 
They cut too deep, leaving open wounds.
 
Pain is something that should ever come from the man you love. Forgiveness, understanding, tenderness, yes. But never pain.
 
But the fact remains. He is my husband and I am his wife. Perhaps he should have remembered that a year ago when he committed his first sin against our marriage. And perhaps then, I wouldn’t have fallen for the devil.
 
A devil who had me in his sights from the very beginning.
 
A devil who swore to never let me go.

The Auction Block (Agents of Interpol #1) by Courtney Lynn Rose is #LIVE now!

 

Blurb


Human traffickers call me The Viper.
And I know their world like the back of my hand. I should— I’m a former sex slave.
In truth, my name is Lily Williams.
#1 Agent for Interpol’s Human Trafficking Taskforce.
My team hunts and infiltrates human trafficking rings.
I kill the sick son-of-a-bitches that run those rings.
For ten years, that’s all I’ve known. It’s all I care about. Saving slaves and working my way through the underground trafficking network until I find the ring that owned me as a child—and killing every last person associated with them.
At least, that was my goal until my unit was assigned to protect Blake Mason, Baltimore Businessman and the East Coast’s Most Eligible Bachelor. Falling in love with him was the last thing on my mind, but it happened.
After finding out that the human traffickers hunting him are the same ones that once owned me— I’m torn into pieces. I don’t know if I can give up the revenge I’ve waited a lifetime for in order to have a future loving a man that I don’t deserve . . . especially when loving me could be the one thing that actually gets him killed.

RELEASE & REVIEW TOUR!!! ~ Making Up by Helena Hunting

Leave a comment

Synopsis:

A new standalone, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy by New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting.

Cosy Felton is great at her job—she knows just how to handle the awkwardness that comes with working at an adult toy store. So when the hottest guy she’s ever seen walks into the shop looking completely overwhelmed, she’s more than happy to turn on the charm and help him purchase all of the items on his list.

Griffin Mills is using his business trip in Las Vegas as a chance to escape the broken pieces of his life in New York City. The last thing he wants is to be put in charge of buying gag gifts for his friend’s bachelor party. Despite being totally out of his element, and mortified by the whole experience, Griffin is pleasantly surprised when he finds himself attracted to the sales girl that helped him.

As skeptical as Cosy may be of Griffin’s motivations, there’s something about him that intrigues her. But sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas and when real life gets in the way, all bets are off. Filled with hilariously awkward situations and enough sexual chemistry to power Sin City, Making Up is the next standalone in the Shacking Up world.

Ten years. Ten endless years I’ve waited to destroy the man who tore my family apart. But I never thought I’d get the chance… until his daughter walked into my tattoo parlour, looked me in the eye — and had no damned clue who I was.
 
I never planned on falling for Cassandra Deighton. She’s silk scarves and manicures. I’m scars and rage. Yet I can’t resist when she begs for more, my ice queen who burns with enough heat to sear the soul.
I need to end this. Before she finds out who I am. Before she gets hurt.
But I’m not the only one with secrets. We both have our scars, and if the truth comes out, we could lose everything…
