Series: Cavalieri Della Morte
Authors: Ashleigh Giannoccaro & Murphy Wallce
Genre: Romance Suspense
Release Date: June 27, 2019

 

Sorrow slips in quietly when no one is looking — just like I do.
It robs them of life and joy — just like me.
Sorrow is a killer in the night, murdering hearts and leaving destruction in its wake — and so am I.
I am Tristan Sorrow, I stole happiness, and now she is mine.
He came in the dead of night to steal me, to take me home. He was sent to rob me of my happiness and murder my hopes.
Creeping in slowly, he was an unexpected twist in my tale.
But he stole the wrong thing, he made me his Queen.
Tristan Sorrow stole my heart — and my life.
Every love story is written tragically in the blood of those who fell.

NEW RELEASE BLAST!!! ~ Paper Cuts Anthology

Leave a comment

Title: Paper Cuts

Authors: R.B. O’Brien ~ Ashlee Shades ~ Rachel De Vine ~ Roman Newell ~ Sebastian Nox ~ Xtina Marie ~ Mark A. Morris ~ Summer Layne

Genre: Poetry

Release: June 27, 2019

 

Blurb:

Paper Cuts is for poetry addicts, people new to poetry, and for anyone who loves the aesthetic beauty of the written word. In short, this collection is for everyone, connected as we all are as human beings, who feel and live deeply, where each page, each line, each word cuts into the heart, but not as to leave a wound unhealed.

Like skin exposed to the elements whose layers become more beautiful, textured, and interesting the more vulnerable one allows, so too does poetry. It isn’t just inked or typed onto paper, but it is cut from the blood of one’s soul. Through an examination of all life’s moments of vulnerability, people can and do endure: From pain can come love; from boredom can come romance; from darkness can come light; and from dullness can come the vivid color of sensuality. The collection, then, provides insight into what a paper cut means for our hearts and souls and, ultimately, how they are healed. It is a realization that the deepest part of human existence is just brimming right below the surface, and if we let it, we can live and feel fully.

They say that when the heart physically breaks there is a flow of both blood and water. These eight diverse poets explore the attrition, fatigue, and water and blood that come from myriad paper cuts, and teach us: We bleed but do not die.

NEW RELEASE & GIVEAWAY!!! ~ The Celtic Cowboy by Jessica Marin

Title: The Celtic Cowboy (Bear Creek Rodeo)
Author: Jessica Marin
Genre: Contemporary Western Romance
Cover Designer – EDH Graphics

 

The Celtic Cowboy, part of the Bear Creek Rodeo series, is now LIVE in KINDLE UNLIMITED!

Blurb

 

Another Kearney brother has arrived from Ireland to concur your heart!

Adeline Murphy

In Texas, two things are gospel – football and rodeos. Growing up as the daughter of a football legend made me practically royalty, but it’s not a crown I’m interested in. Football life isn’t for me, no matter how hard my family pressures me with their motto of “If you can’t be them, marry them.” Living in the shadow of my football star brothers was exhausting and I eventually became invisible all together. I bide my time working at my family’s car dealership until I gather up the nerve to tell them that I’m living life on my own terms. I have my own dreams and they don’t include marrying a football player or a cowboy.  

My resolve was strong, until a cocky Celtic cowboy sauntered into my life. Ryan Kearney might not wear a football jersey, but wearing a cowboy hat and chaps was just as lethal. Devilish good looks with a mouth that could even charm the panties off a nun, I knew I was in trouble when he set his sights on me.

A roll in the hay with a playboy cowboy is the last thing I need… especially when I’m already falling for him. 

Ryan Kearney

As an up and coming bull rider, I’ve learned that rodeo life is grueling, but it’s the life I’ve chosen. The pounding of your heart and the thunder of applause that rings in your ears when that buzzer calls out the end of the eight seconds is a sound like no other. My dream to be a professional bull rider in the American Pro Rodeo Circuit is finally becoming a reality when my brother and I leave Ireland to compete for our shot at Nationals in Las Vegas. If I want the title of the best bull rider in the world, being mediocre isn’t enough. To be the best, you have to beat the best, which requires me living, breathing and sleeping rodeos. Being in a committed relationship isn’t even on my radar. So I do casual relationships and it seems my notoriety as the Playboy Cowboy preceded me to America. What can I say? The ladies love cowboys and I love the ladies.

Charming them into bed is my second favorite pastime, so when the warm brown eyes of Adeline Murphy lock on mine and burn with yearning, I know I have her right where I want her. Except I don’t. The sexy spitfire seems immune to my charm and makes me work hard for her attention. 

The chase has become a game – one that I’m determined to win and to make her mine. I wasn’t looking for forever, but I can’t imagine my life without her. 

Bear Creek Rodeo is a series of contemporary western insta-love novellas written by bestselling authors Jennifer D. Bokal, Amy L. Gale, Sara Jolene, Jessica Marin and Kirsten Osbourne.

Genre: PNR, Romantic Suspense
Release: June 26, 2019
Aster Ardennes has sworn vengeance. When rival Alpha, Marten, takes over her father’s pack, Aster is determined to make him pay. But when the new Alpha decides he’s going to take her as his mate, things get serious. As a rare female born to the old Alpha, Aster has always been considered something of a princess. But no one would ever call her weak. Marten may think she’s just a pawn, but strategy has always been her strong suit. And Aster can’t wait to show him the true meaning of forced mate. Everything else will just have to wait.​

 

 

 

Jesse Wayne knows all about his reputation. He doesn’t let it bother him. After all, when you’re an outlaw, you might as well own it. Never in his life did he imagine the Princess would turn to him. But now that she’s right there, he just can’t help wondering if this could mean something more…
 
There’s nothing Apprentice Lore Master Dean Rolland likes more than a good mystery. He spends most of his time in his lab looking for answers. That is, if he’s not off searching through the ancient archives. But the biggest mystery these days is—where in the world is Aster Ardennes? For months, the pack has been searching for her, following the trail of breadcrumbs she’s scattered for them. But Aster herself is like a ghost. And he can tell—whatever she’s playing at—she’s up to her furry little tail in something dangerous. He just hopes they find her before someone else does. Like Marten.
