February 2019 writinstuff 2 Comments

Title: The Reinvention of Jinx Howell

Series: Pine Bluff #5

Author: Nancee Cain

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 22, 2019

Hiding behind her wigs and heavy makeup, Jinx Howell masks her insecurities—which even she doesn’t understand—with bravado, slashing through life with reckless abandon. Lonely, but unwilling to get close to anyone, she finds the ideal solution: a hook-up with the campus’s most notorious heartbreaker.

In similar fashion, Mark “Two-Time” MacGregor protects his heart and keeps himself unencumbered through a string of one-night stands. A chance meeting with the edgy Jinx in a dark alley seems like destiny. She claims to want sex with no ties, making her perfect. Like attracts like. But this girl with a switchblade has more hang-ups than he does, which is a hell of a lot.

When tragedy strikes, Mark’s hit-and-run lifestyle takes a backseat to his need to protect the broken girl whose secrets are unraveling. Along the way, both of them will find their truths unmasked. Can they forge a real relationship, or will they give up on their romance as jinxed?

NEW RELEASE!!! ~ Love Me Like You Won’t Let Go by Melissa Toppen

February 2019 writinstuff Leave a comment

Title: Love Me Like You Won’t Let Go

Author: Melissa Toppen

Genre: 2nd Chance Romance

Release Date: February 22, 2019

You never get over your first love. It’s something I’ve heard countless times. Like someone has to point out that your pain will never go away. That your shattered heart will never mend.

Because that’s exactly what my heart did the day I watched Asher Evans board that train- it shattered, splintering into a million tiny fragments that I didn’t think I’d ever be able to piece back together. He was the boy I had loved since I understood what loving someone meant. The one who knew me inside and out. The one who swore he’d never let me go. It’s been six years since that day and even now the memory haunts me like it was yesterday.

I’ve done my best to move on, to rebuild, and for the most part I’ve done pretty well. But all of that comes crashing down when Asher strolls back into town like he never left.

I don’t want to want him. I certainly don’t want to need him. But that doesn’t stop me from doing it anyway. Only things are different now. I’m different. I’m not the girl he left behind all those years ago. I may have been foolish enough to give him my heart once but I won’t make that mistake a second time. Or at least that’s what I tell myself until I’m standing face to face with the one man who has the power to break me all over again.

Love Me Like You Won’t Let Go is a STANDALONE second chance romance.

Winona Harper’s life had hit a wall going eighty miles an hour. Cash Duvall wants to be the man to fix her up.

I left Texas jaded and betrayed, but determined to prove I had what it took to make it in New York. Six years later, I’m back where I started, and twice as bitter. The last thing I need is the cocky, mysterious new guy in town throwing me off course with his sultry eyes and tight Levi’s.

Winnie Harper walked into my shop with a flat tire, a broken stiletto, and a chip on her shoulder the size of Texas. She lit a fire in my loins I couldn’t ignore, not that I was trying. I had no business messing with a girl like Winnie, but I was going there anyway.

We were both running from something. I just needed to steer her in my direction so we were going the same way.

Author: S.L. Sterling

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 22, 2019

Ever feel like you’ve lost your way and everything is falling apart?

As my husband prepares to leave for a business trip a single, secretive text comes across his phone. I didn’t plan to take a trip down memory lane on the eve of our anniversary. But taking this trip down memory lane leaves me in tears, sharing a story of deceit, lies, …and misunderstandings. The man I gave my heart to ten years ago is being ripped away.

We lost each other over the past decade.

That’s why I’d tried to push off this trip until after our anniversary. As usual, my career took precedence over what was important… US. Yet, the last thing I expect when the plane lands is a call saying that my wife thinks I’m having an affair. I almost lost her once and promised that would never happen again. Now I’m headed home to claim what’s mine before someone else does.

Cindy ‘Sin’ Masters is an award winning tattoo artist and owner of Masters of Ink Tattoo shop. The only thing taking buzz out of her tattoo gun is receiving yet another anonymous, threatening letter—she thought the first one was a joke, but four letters later it’s just creepy. When she is attacked outside the tattoo parlor, Sin barely escapes the electrifying barb of a taser gun and her possible stalker.

A friend hires Hunter Shaw, veteran Army Ranger and marine mechanic at the Crows Nest to be her bodyguard. Sin has no desire to be babysat by some stubborn, bossy, cowboy-wannabe, and she will decidedly ignore the fact that he’s entirely too sexy for words. But as the attraction escalates between Sin and the Cowboy who’s got her six, so does the threat against her life.

February 2019 writinstuff Leave a comment

ABOUT:

Female superheroes in skin-tight outfits will determine the future of the city. The fate of thousands of citizens is in her hands.

Eileen didn’t ask to be the leader of their group of female superheroes, but there she is at the front of the pack as her archnemesis launches an attack on the city. The villain is rumored to have the power to remove sight from anyone around her, so Eileen knows she needs to tread lightly.

But when Eileen is caught alone against the powerful–and surprisingly attractive–villain, she must think of a way to use her powers–and perhaps her feminine charm–to get out of a pinch. Backup isn’t coming to help her, so she has to get herself out of this situation. Although the challenge may turn out to be more pleasurable than she previously thought.

If you enjoy steamy stories of female superheroes and evil villains, you’ll love Saving the City.
