I had her once. Or at least I thought I did. But that was a long time ago. Before prison. Before I became the Butcher. Seeing her now shouldn’t make me feel anything. It’s been too long. She forgot about me as soon as I was sent away. But all those truths can’t break the connection that links me to my Angel. No matter how hard I try, I’m still drawn to her, damned to want her even though she’s promised to another man. Being assigned to serve as her bodyguard is a torture so ingenious that I have to respect it. If I don’t deliver her to the altar, my life is forfeit to the Genoa family. But if I do, losing her again may kill me surer than a hitman’s bullet.

BOOK TOUR & EXCERPT!!! ~ Ruffles & Beaus by Carina Adams

Title: Ruffles & Beaus
Author: Carina Adams
Genre: NA Romance/Love Triangle

Published: August 23, 2018

Every girl who dances on a pole has a story to tell, one that led her to the stage.

My last year of college was set to be the best yet. Only a few months stood between me and the life of my dreams. Until my manager was arrested for embezzlement, our department was wiped out, and everything fell apart.

I needed a job. I was willing to do anything to pay for school, hoping to simply survive. Desperate, I joined Soirée, the private party company that offered something no other did.
 
I wasn’t prepared for Roman, the boss who thought I was helpless and hated me as much as I detested him. Or, his best friend Reid, who assumed I was tougher than I was and pursued me in a way no one else ever had.
 
I never used a pole, yet I took my clothes off as men cheered. My past didn’t lead me there, though.
 
My story began with the secrets I told as I fell in love with two very different men.
And continued with the lies I weaved to keep us all from breaking.

Release Date: August 13, 2018

“I highly recommend this Rockstar Romance with the most delish slow burn that will have your heart in knots, flipping those pages, begging for a happy ending!” ~ Hot KU Romance-Dani

Completely and utterly BLOWN AWAY! This is my first novel by Rebecca Sharp and I am speechless! The story that she created is one of pain but also one of absolute beauty!” ~ Amazon Review (palegarreta)

Small-town girl. America’s Sweetheart. 
 
The biggest popstar in the world
 
It began with one guy and then the next. 
 
Until my reputation preceeded me.
 
Yes, I dated them – all of them. 
 
Yes, I also broke up with them. All of them.
 
Was it too much? The world said yes. Too many, too quickly. 
 
And my star began to flicker.
 
The world knew nothing about my life and yet, their judgement weighed on me like stone.
 
My reputation was falling faster than a shooting star and the only way to save it was with the boy who never wanted me.
 
Zach Parker was a singer, songwriter, and sexy as sin. 
 
To him, I was just the neighbor’s little sister. 
 
A pest that had grown into a famous annoyance.
 
Zach Parker wanted nothing to do with me. 
 
But he could be tempted – with a stepping stone to fame, that is.
 
The plan was simple: Childhood Sweethearts Fall in Love on US Tour.
 
The plan was to let them see what they wanted to see: our ‘romance’ blossom right in front of their eyes.
 
A romance that Zach had made painfully clear to me years ago would never exist.
 
I’m told that it was the only thing that could repair my image.
 
So, every night I’ll stand on that stage and give Zach my heart piece by piece, note by note.
 
We’ll give them a show they’ll never forget – and a love story that I may not survive.
 
Because who cares that in order to put my reputation back together, I’ll have to tear my heart apart?

I’ve loved and lost. Now I lose myself in mindless sex, drinking and work, anything to pass the time and fill the void that I feel. Another drink, another guy…until Chase Wilson. He’s not what I expect, turns out he’s also not who I thought. Then again, neither am I. 

Some might call what I’m doing destructive, I call it survival. When finally putting myself out there backfires, I vow not to let it happen again. I know what my body wants, but it’s not what my heart needs and it’s about time I learn the difference. 

As life around me moves on, I realize life is worth living and that I’m worth loving. But old habits die hard as I struggle to understand Chase’s motives for trying to save me from myself. 

 
One thing is clear. For the first time, I’m done being perfectly lonely.
