Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3rKZWrh Universal: https://readerlinks.com/l/2725725         Blurb: LITTLE DEMON   I was raised in a world where money and power are at your fingertips. My father is a LORD, a very respected member of a secret society that knows no bounds. When tragedy struck my family, we discovered we weren’t untouchable. Just when I thought life couldn’t get any worse, I was shown what hell is really like. Then he came and saved me. The devil disguised as my personal hero. But of course, nothing is for free. Not when a soul is up for grabs.   I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.   Easton Bradley Sinnett—Sin—uses his power for his own sick pleasure. Like a typical Lord, he never thought about the consequences of his actions. I grew up with him, obsessed over him, craved him. He was who I pictured when I imagined doing things my body shouldn’t want.   One day, I realized he was not who I thought he was. It didn’t change anything, though, because I was already too far gone. If anything, I fell for him harder.   Every now and then, someone enters your life who flips it upside down. Sin wrecked me in the worst way, and I thanked him for it by serving on my knees.   As they say, nothing lasts forever. Men like him never stay with a woman like me. I’m what they use, not keep. So when he threw me away, I shouldn’t have been all that surprised.   My body had always craved the darker side of love. The kind that left bruises and scars. I was what most would call unholy. And when the devil whispered in my ear that he loved me, I was more than determined to show him just how devoted I could be.           About the Author: Shantel is a USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author.

Title: Fire in Stone
Series: Fire in Stone Duet #1
Author: Marina Simcoe
Genre: Fantasy Romance, Romantic Phantasy, Gargoyle/Dragon Romance
Release Date: December 27, 2022



I stole a statue to buy a better future for myself. But when my gargoyle comes to life, can I give him up?

Brought to the end of my rope, I steal a statue from a traveling menagerie. The money I’ve been promised for it is supposed to buy me a new start in life.

It sounds simple: steal the statue, hand it to the buyer, get paid.

But when my precious statue suddenly comes to life, claiming he’s a gargoyle prince who was taken against his will from the magical kingdom in Nerifir, things change drastically. Now, we have the supernatural beings from the menagerie after us, eager to get Elex back, and the local mafia who wish to get their hands on the pricey statue, too.

Like a true piece of art, Elex is gorgeous, either in flesh or stone. But is he worth risking my life for him?

When he takes me higher than I’ve ever been, I realize it’s not just my life I’m risking with him. With Elex, my heart may be in even greater danger, as I have to find the strength to part from him forever.



Marina Simcoe loves to write romance with ordinary human heroines and out-of-this-world heroes who just can’t live without them.

She has lots of fun exploring how her otherworldly characters with their own set of beliefs, values, and aspirations fit into our everyday life.

Title: Destined Lovers
Series: The Taylored Men #2
Author: J R Gale
Genre: Steamy Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 30, 2022


BLURB

I knew from a young age that one day I would make him mine.
What I didn’t realize was that I would first have to run away to save us both.

Ten years ago, on one of the worst days of my life, I dug the dagger into my heart a little deeper when I consciously broke a promise to my childhood sweetheart.
And instead of moving to be with him, I haven’t made contact since.

Then one night, I look across the bar and see the man I still deeply love and care for, Declan Buckley.
He wasn’t supposed to find me…yet.

It’s too soon.
I’m not ready to explain why I left.

But Declan is nothing if not persistent and–for now–agrees to leave the past in the past.
That is as long as he can spend time with me while he’s here in Ireland.

What he doesn’t know is that it’s still not our time to be together, and I will do anything to protect him from my complicated life–even if it hurts him in the process.

I have to believe we will find our way back together once again and that his love for me hasn’t lessened so we can start the life we never got all those years ago.

Thankfully, we have the luck of the Irish on our side.
Or at least, I hope.

Damaged Player by R.C. Stephens is now live!



He may be a damaged player... but his magnetic touch and warm heart is making me feel alive again. 

Cait
 
Ever since my accident, I feel like damaged goods. I do my best to hide in plain sight until the one guy I want to notice me... doesn't.
 
 Westfall U hockey star, Evan Hayworth, is way out of my league. If I want him to see me as more than just his tutor, I'll need help igniting the spark.
 
Lucky for me, his hockey teammate comes to my rescue and makes me an offer I can't refuse-- I help him with science, and he will educate me in the bedroom.
 
 A fake relationship with the most unavailable guy on campus seems like the perfect solution.
 
Noah is caring, loyal, and very good at pretending. Even I'm starting to believe the chemistry between us is real.
 
He may be a damaged player... but his magnetic touch and warm heart are making me feel alive again.
 
Noah
 
My life has been falling apart. After desperately trying to hold it together and focusing on hockey, the last thing I need is a serious relationship.
 
What I need is to keep my head in the game, but Cait is the exception to that rule.
 
Because hooking up with her is homework... or an experiment, depending on how you look at it.
 
I need a tutor to get my science grade up and she needs my expertise in the bedroom to give her the confidence to go for the guy she really wants... my teammate.
 
It's a win-win, until the variables change, and our combustible attraction takes us from friends to lovers.
 
Suddenly our fake relationship feels much too real and I'm regretting our little deal.

    THE SWEET SPOT by Adriana Locke Release Date: 11/29/2022 Genre/Tropes: Single Mom, Baseball Pro, Small Town Romance     THE SWEET SPOT by USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke is NOW LIVE! Grab this all-new small town romance TODAY!   NOW AVAILABLE! FREE IN KU! https://geni.us/TSSpot         Add to Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60806368-the-sweet-spot         Blurb:   She wants forever. He plays it day by day. They’re both wishing for the best in USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke’s charming and sexy hopefully-ever-after romance.   Single mom Palmer Clark will not be sidelined by the new man in town. Sure, the honey-tongued baseball legend is gorgeous, loves puppies, and has charmed his way into the community’s heart, but Palmer craves stability. Nothing about Cole says forever. So why is he so hard to resist?   Cole is swinging through town to visit his parents when he meets the kind of down-to-earth distraction he’s been looking for since retiring from the majors. True, his long-term relationship score is zero. But even though raising his average with Palmer seems impossible, it’s worth a shot.   As promising as the summer nights are, fate turns small-town dreams upside down, and some lessons are learned the hard way. But having faith in love and choosing hope over fear might get Palmer and Cole to the sweet spot they’re looking for.         About the Author: USA Today and Washington Post bestselling author Adriana Locke lives and breathes books. After years of slightly obsessive relationships with the flawed bad boys created by other authors, Adriana has created her own.   She resides in the Midwest with her husband, sons, and two dogs. She spends a large amount of time playing with her kids, drinking coffee, and cooking. You can find her outside if the weather's nice and there's always a piece of candy in her pocket.

T-7 DAYS

KNIGHT by USA Today Bestselling Author LeAnn Ashers 
is set to release Dec. 6, 2022 on all platforms!

CHECK OUT AN EXCERPT BELOW! 

Pre-order available now everywhere.


After being rescued from the nightmare I called my life, I spent years looking over my shoulder. But that was a small price I was happy to pay. Anything was better than being part of the cult I was born into and being tied to a cruel man I was forced to marry at just fourteen years old.

I kept moving forward, kept living for my daughter, Annie. But now, years later, my relentless ex-husband has found us. He’s made it clear he believes we belong to him. We’re his one chance to redeem himself and he’s not giving up. 

Time to go…again. Time to start over in a new city. 

What I never expected was him. 

I met him while running for my life and trying to keep my daughter safe.
I met him and everything changed.

My ex-husband had no idea…
In order to get to me and my daughter, he’d have to go through Knight.

EXCERPT REVEAL

“I saw him in the town I was living in. He was passing around mine and Annie’s photos. I had to leave. I can’t bare the thought of him finding her.” I sigh, looking at the movie screen.

“He will not even breath the same air as you. I promise you that.” His finger touches the tip of my chin, turning my face around so I am looking at him. My heart feels like it’s going to explode from his powerful, intense expression.

His eyes are dark with anger. “I promise you this with every bit of my being, you will not hurt again.”

Tears form in my eyes, “Knight.” I say as my emotions make it too hard to speak.

He leans forward until our foreheads are touching. I take in the moment. It's simple, but it's literally life-changing. I will never be the same after this.

He smiles as he brushes his hand across my cheek, pushing my hair out of my face, “You’re so beautiful darlin'.”

Once Upon a Sexy Scrooge by Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine is now live!

Ah, Christmas. The most magical time of the year. A time when the snow is falling, cider is flowing, and couples are kissing under the mistletoe.

Too bad all that makes me want to gag.

Look, it isn't that I'm a hater, it's just that I have a job to do, and this particular holiday is getting in the way of that. And I know what you'll say, that Micah Noble's Christmas Tree Farm is a beloved tradition for many of the families of Merrihill, but you have to see the bigger picture here: a five-star luxury resort where overworked Manhattanites can escape to, a serene place of spas and shopping and watching sexy lumberjacks chopping wood...

Oh, wait, scratch that last one. Lumberjacks aren't my thing. Anymore. Micah Noble cured me of that, which tends to happen when you're trying to buy someone's family land to bulldoze to the ground.

He can call me a Scrooge all he wants, but business is business, and pleasure is...well, not something I can afford to think about. Even if it does come packaged in those tight jeans and flannel shirts that make me want to rip them off with my teeth—


No. This is not happening. I will not think of Micah as anything other than an obstacle to getting what I want. A really, really sexy obstacle.

Ugh. Screw Christmas and the sleigh it rode in on.
