NEW RELEASE! ~ Defending Her Dignity by Jade Webb

May 2018 writinstuff Leave a comment

Title: Defending Her Dignity

Series: Renegade Love Bodyguard Series

Author: Jade Webb

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: May 15, 2018

Men have never taken me seriously. At 5’5” on a good day, they can’t help but look straight through me, or worse: right at my rack. So I prove them wrong. Usually with a swift kick to their golden jewels that sends them straight to the floor. That’s what they get for messing with a captain from the Israeli Defense Forces.

When my cousin offers me a gig for a bodyguard position with one of the richest families in the country, I jump at the opportunity. But when I meet the client, Lawrence Monroe… it doesn’t go so well.

So I tell him to go screw himself and as I stumble out of the room, I find Isabel, his adorable daughter getting her butt kicked in Wii boxing. I offer to teach her a few tricks and then suddenly Lawrence has a change of heart. That same day I move into his McMansion, into a bedroom the size of my entire apartment. Except there’s one problem: while I think I’m being hired as a bodyguard, he thinks he’s hiring a nanny. Yeah, annoying. But for the sake of his blue-eyed baby girl (and a sizable paycheck), I play along.

And while at first, I just pegged Lawrence as an over-protective father, I am beginning to get the feeling that Isabel and I are being watched. All my instincts tell me to follow my gut, but how can I trust myself when every time I am within a 10 foot radius of Lawrence, my body betrays me and I feel inexplicably attracted to this devoted single dad. There is something between us, lingering just beneath the surface. But he is American royalty and I am only here until this threat is neutralized.

After all, I can’t let myself fall for him. I need to focus on protecting his daughter and deciding what kind of life I want for myself. No, falling for a man like Lawrence Monroe would cost me too much. I have to defend my dignity.

PROMO TOUR!!! –> Wreckless Engagement by K. Marie

May 2018 writinstuff Leave a comment

Title: Wreckless Engagement

Series: The Russian Engagement Series

Author: K. Marie

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: March 14, 2018

You just couldn’t make this sh*t up if you tried…

A hot man, a one-night stand. Five days in Miami, that was the plan.

Things went sideways real-quick.

How could what started off as a five-day girls’ trip have careened so quickly out of control?

I found myself in a fix.

Just a small-town girl from a boring little city, my life might have even been described as charmed. Until it suddenly wasn’t.

My knight in all black armor swooped in to save my distressed damsel like a move right out of the super-hero playbook.

The man was a ridiculous cliché.

Tall, dark, handsome and mysterious? Check!

Garland wore power like a suit, possessed an ego on steroids, never minced words, and avoided messy entanglements like the plague.

Prince Charming? Nope!

He still drew me like a magnet.

Only, he was way out my league. A man like him could never be serious about a woman like me.

But he didn’t seem to mind slumming. Heck, I guess everybody’s got to make a charitable donation sometimes.

And the man is nothing if not a giver. His words are seductive, his touch addictive, his mouth magical, and his body a weapon.

I never stood a chance.

Then a snap decision has life altering consequences, and my world shifted in ways I couldn’t have imagined.

Bodyguards, paparazzi, and high-stakes might have been more than I bargained for.

Oh, did I mention I was already engaged…to another man?

Follow Camry as she sets off on a head-spinning journey that started out as a vacation but ended up in crazyville. If you like both romance and adventure, WRECKLESS ENGAGEMENT is the book for you.

Title: White Knight

Series: Callaghan Green Series Book Two

Author: Annie Dyer

Genre: Contemporary Romance Standalone

Release Date: June 1, 2018

Back then things were simple, being together was easy and exciting. Back then, their only concern was keeping their relationship secret from her brothers. Until she had a choice to make; the hardest decision she ever had to face.

Claire Callaghan has dedicated her adult life to two things: her career as a family lawyer and trying to move on from the love she had to give up. Killian O’Hara has spent years fighting for his country, growing his business, and trying to forget how it ended back then, all the while wondering why Claire took herself out of his life, breaking his heart.

But fate has a funny way of bringing the past into the present.

Claire’s latest case puts her in danger, not just from the man who her client needs to hide from, but from the man she’s had to leave behind. Killian can protect her, if she’ll let him, because being close to him reopens old wounds. All he wants is to try again, to prove he’s the man she needs and maybe an explanation.

However, even choices made long ago have consequences, and only Claire can decide if she can give both Killian and herself a second chance at the happily ever after they never had – back then.

White Knight is the second in the Callaghan Green series. Each book is a standalone and can be read separately from the others.

Title: Keep Happy

Author: A.C. Bextor

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: May 14, 2018

Cover Designer: Margeet Asselbergs of Rebel Edit And Design

Those who think they know me would tell you I’m a caring mother, a loyal friend, and a dutiful wife. They’d say the golden path which led me here is the road every little girl dreams of taking.

However, the guise of my happy existence has come to be just that—an illusion. A mask of contentment intended for the world to believe.

Not many years into my marriage, I became an abandoned housewife to an adulterous husband. A proud, but sad, mother of two beautiful daughters.

My days were spent somewhere lost between empty and alone.

Then he came back.

Mason Cole offered a second chance to share the life we were supposed to have together. He gave me a glimpse of myself. The woman I’d forgotten long ago.

My road to hell was paved with good intentions. But sometimes good intentions get lost amidst a heart’s desire.

At least mine did.

Now I’ll tell you why.

Release Date: May 8, 2018

She never should have come here. Twice a week, Lily Moore comes to work for me, stealing my breath with her light and beauty and sweetness. She doesn’t know the dangerous path she’s on. All she knows is that I am a reclusive artist living on a crumbling estate. That I am scarred, broken by life. A beast . . .

Lily ignites a hunger unlike anything I’ve known, one that could shatter the isolated world I live in. Even as I see the same longing for me in her oh-so-blue eyes, I know she belongs to another—one who does not deserve her. But it’s just a matter of time before the tension between us breaks. For this beast will have what he desires. To hell with the consequences. This is my world . . . and I will claim my beauty.
