Author: L. Wilder
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: March 5, 2019

“Once again L. Wilder takes readers on a wild ride to true love with Murphy, a great addition to her Satan Fury’s MC series!” -Jenerated Reviews

 

“I fell in love with Murphy and Riley. They had a slow steady burning love. They had electric chemistry and I admit I reread the cell phone call scene more than a few times. Riley is my girl and I think L Wilder wrote her perfectly.” ~Cate Suzanne at Fiction Beer and Cupcakes

 

“L. Wilder definitely delivers in this edge-of-your-seat story. It was filled with heart pounding action, twists and turns that will keep you guessing and undeniable chemistry that will leave you breathless.” -Book Club Gone Wrong

Murphy’s Law- Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
As Satan’s Fury’s sergeant-at-arms, it was my job to stay one step ahead. It was up to me to make sure the club was ready when things went awry. I had to anticipate our enemies’ every move and plan accordingly. I couldn’t let Murphy’s Law bite me in the ass, so I created a set of rules to follow.
• The club comes first.
• Always have your brother’s back.
• Don’t make promises you can’t keep.

 

• Don’t buy into other people’s bullshit.

 

• Never let your emotions rule you.
I thought they’d prepare me for anything, but I was wrong. Nothing could’ve prepared me for Riley Nichols—the farmer’s daughter with coal-black eyes and a fiery tongue. She took me by surprise, mesmerizing me with her strength and tempting me with her innocence.
I wanted to make her mine, but having her meant breaking my rules—every last one of them.

Title: Sleeping Together
Series: Perfect Drug #1
Author: Kitty Cook
Genre: Fiction/Romance
Release Date: March 6, 2019
Vanessa Brown is having nightmares: about babies. Ever since her husband, Pete, mentioned he wanted to start a family, Ness has been trying to convince herself she’s stoked to spawn despite her inability to keep a cactus alive—and a decade-old secret she doesn’t like to remember. So when she catches her slacker-cool coworker, Altan Young, stealing sleeping medication from the pharmaceutical company they both work for, she decides to try the pilfered pills to finally find some rest.
 
But side effects of Morpheum include headaches, nausea, and possible mind melding—a fact Ness and Altan stumble upon when they share the same freaky sex dream. (Awkward.) Now these two colleagues are joined at the brain by night, experiencing dozens of fantastic sleep-staged adventures courtesy of a little imagination and a whole lot of drugs. 
 
With the stress of being caught between the men of her literal and figurative dreams (not to mention her nightmare of a boss), Ness starts to enjoy snoozing more than being conscious—and the company of her work husband more than her real one. If she doesn’t wake up and smell the coffee soon, her dreamy escape could become a dirt nap in this feisty debut novel about the dangers of dreams’ coming true.
