First impressions can either be a kiss of death, or seal your fate. You either click or clash, soar or fall. Or in my case they could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Problems arrive when the other party wants more. That can, and did lead to a very messy situation. One I was not prepared for, I was oblivious to what people around could see. Maybe I was blinded by the comfortable state Bennett and I had fallen into. Or maybe I chose to ignore the signs. All I did know for sure was that I was the girl in love with the new guy… OR other guy…

Caught between what should’ve been and everyone’s idea of who I should be, I had to find myself again. That was easier said than done with an interfering, overbearing family like mine.

I told myself I was done rescuing my irresponsible sister, but I didn’t expect flying across an ocean to help her one last time would lead to my own saving.

It was when I surrendered to desire and released my past that love taught me just what could come from letting go.

Title: And Hell Followed

Author: Beckett Riley
Genre: Dark Romance, Historical Hidden Romance
Release Date: October 26, 2021

 

We all have our demons
My parents thought emigrating from Germany to the American frontier was going to be a good thing for everyone. But it seems that a darkness is doomed to follow us wherever we go.
Life can be harsh and unforgiving in this world, especially for a woman. Luckily, I have my brother, Thomas, to watch out for me and protect me. He can only do so much, though, and after that vile attack, I find myself in need of his protection more than ever. It was then I realized that festering darkness came from within.
Although society won’t take kindly to it, we have forsaken God and embarked on an unholy life, but just as things finally began to calm down, the past reared its ugly head and came back to tear us apart and destroy and everything we’ve built.
But as Thomas once told me, I would ride my steed through the fires of hell to salvage the only thing worth living for, and if the devil gets in my way, he will beg to God for mercy.
We will be free.

New Release ~ Captive: Hook and His Darling #1 ~ by ~ Sarah Bale

Title: Captive: Hook and His Darling #1
Duet: Bale’s Bedtime Stories 
Author: Sarah Bale
Genre: Reverse Harem Dark Romance
Release Date: October 26, 2021
Hook
It’s my world. I own it all.
And right now, all I want is her.
She may be the enemy,
But that’s not going to stop me,
Nothing stops me.
My men and I will do everything to have her,
Hold her,
Keep her.

Amelia
I work for a monster,
And his rival may not be the answer,
But I’m willing to take my chances,
By turning to Hook and his men,
To escape this situation.

But passion leads to danger,
Pleasure leads to problems,
And the biggest one of all,
They’ve got me CAPTIVE,
In body, mind, and heart.

“Are you calling me a liar?”

 

 

 

Hook is close. So close that I can smell the whisky on his breath, reminding me of the night that we met. But I’ll be damned if I give in to the temptation of Hook again. Not when there’s so much on the line.

 

I let out a small laugh. “It really bothers you, doesn’t it?”
His gaze goes to my lips, and heat shoots straight to my core.
“What’s that?”
“That I don’t want you.”
“Ah, my darling Amelia, you say that, but your body says otherwise.”
I hate that he’s right. I do want him. I want more of the passion we shared that night after we left Di Bello’s bar. But I will never sleep with him again. Not while he holds me captive. And not while I can’t trust myself around him.
Leaning forward, I say, “You’re right. My body reacts this way because I want someone. Want to know who it is?”
He nods, daring me to speak. If I were wise, I’d shut up. But poking him gives me a thrill, and I’m not about to back down.
“I want your men, Hook. Everyone but you.”

Sales Blitz ~ Hot For Teacher ~ by ~ Whitley Cox

 

Title: Hot for Teacher

Series: The Single Moms of Seattle
Author: Whitley Cox
Genre: Contemporary/Single Mom/RomCom
Release Date: September 12, 2020
 

“This new series is going to be AWESOME!” – dangrdonna, Amazon Review

“Hot for Teacher definitely lives up to its name with Max ensuring that things are steamy, heated and a little dirty” – Wiley Kate (Kylee), Amazon Review 

“Loved Max and Celeste. What a great way to start this series.” – Stephanie, Amazon Review

 

He’s not her teacher anymore, but he can still teach her a few things.

Welcome to Seattle, the Emerald City and home to The Single Moms of Seattle. Three sexy single ladies who drink a ton of wine every Saturday night, bitch about life, have each other’s backs, are the ultimate mama bears, and hope to one day, just maybe find love again. This is Celeste’s story …

Fifteen years ago, Celeste was eighteen, in love and on the honor roll.
Then she got pregnant.
Now, a widow and a single mom, she does her best to give her daughter, Sabrina, a good life.
But something is missing in her world.
Or someone.
Back when he taught her math, Celeste didn’t have a crush on Mr. Travis, but that doesn’t mean she’s not hot for teacher now or able to ignore her rampant fantasies.

All Max wanted to do was buy was a pair of jeans.
However, when he bumped into his former student, Celeste, he ended up with so much more.
She’s not a kid anymore and it’s impossible for him to stay away from her. Even when he knows he should.
But an angry student is out to wreak havoc for them all.
One who hates Sabrina, and wants to cause problems for Max and Celeste.

Like love, high school can be a battlefield, only neither of them knew just how dangerous it could be until the scandal explodes like a grenade.
Celeste and Sabrina’s relationship hangs precariously in the balance, and Max isn’t sure if he should stay and fight for the woman he’s falling for, or get out of dodge before everything he’s worked so hard for goes up in smoke.

**Note: This book can be read as a standalone. It includes lots of steamy scenes, cursing, a sexy alpha male, and of course as with all my books, this has an HEA and no cliffhanger or cheating. If you liked my single dad series, then you’ll love this spin-off trilogy.

 

 

 

 

A Canadian West Coast baby born and raised, Whitley is married to her high school sweetheart, and together they have two beautiful daughters and a fluffy dog. She spends her days making food that gets thrown on the floor, vacuuming Cheerios out from under the couch and making sure that the dog food doesn’t end up in the air conditioner. But when nap time comes, and it’s not quite wine o’clock, Whitley sits down, avoids the pile of laundry on the couch, and writes.
 
A lover of all things decadent; wine, cheese, chocolate and spicy erotic romance, Whitley brings the humorous side of sex, the ridiculous side of relationships and the suspense of everyday life into her stories. With single dads, firefighters, Navy SEALs, mommy wars, body issues, threesomes, bondage and role-playing, Whitley’s books have all the funny and fabulously filthy words you could hope for.

PROLOGUE

 

TEN YEARS EARLIER
Maribelle
“You can’t tell anyone about this,” Mindy whispers, but since we’re standing in an open field, her voice carries.
The moon is huge tonight. It’s almost blinding how bright it is when we’re standing in an empty cornfield.
“I know,” I whisper back, even though I think whispering is pointless right now.
“Come on then. No more breaks,” she huffs.
“Why can’t I hold his feet?” I whine. I’m only ten, it’s got to be at least one in the morning, and way past my bedtime.

 

 

 

“We drew straws, you get the head.”
Mindy has always been bossy. Just because she’s two years older than me, she thinks she can tell me what to do.
“I don’t understand why Mama didn’t come with us. She’s the reason he’s sleeping,” I point out.
“He’s not sleeping. He’s dead.” Mindy stares at me and I look at her with wide eyes.
“Mama wouldn’t do that.”
“Whatever you say, Belle.” I can’t see her face, but I can tell she’s rolling her eyes.
It feels like hours go by until we finally reach the small creek. There was a storm that came through last week, so it’s covered in branches, but if you’re real quiet, you can hear the water rushing through.
“What now?” I ask my older sister for guidance.
“Now we push him in.” I stare at her, open mouthed.
“Why would we push him in?”
“Because he’s dead,” she draws out, talking to me like I’m a two-year old. “Now help me push him under this branch.”
So, I did. I didn’t ask any more questions, and I never mentioned it to anyone. Not even to the kids at school when there were whispers on the playground about a dead body floating in the creek.
My sister took the secret to the grave. Because it wasn’t but five years later that her body was found in that same creek.
And it wasn’t me that pushed that one in.

Excerpt

Copyright 2021 Aubree Valentine

Lacey cracked open the paint can and poured the new shade of sea foam green into a pan while grinning over her shoulder at Bryce. “This is really how you want to spend your day?” “As long as I’m spending it with you.” “We could be spending it doing other things, but…” “Hand me a paint brush.” He ignored her comment and went on to trimming in around the window frame, sighing. She was still holding out on him. Refusing to admit they were more than just friends. He was afraid to admit it, but he may have officially been friend-zoned; that is, if you cuddled in bed and literally slept with friends. A month later, and he couldn’t get her to agree that there was something going on between them. They’d been spending all their free time together, getting to know each other, falling asleep in each other’s arms. But still, nothing. Shit, case in point, she had somehow recruited him for projects around her house, and he wasn’t even getting sex out of the deal. He was in way over his head with this one. He may be selfish, but at least he wasn’t sleeping in the barracks every night and dealing with the ridiculous Texas Heat during the day. He’d tried everything to get through to her, though. Confessed his feelings every chance he got. Maybe that was it? Maybe he was coming on too strong. If he laid low, he feared he’d lose her all together. “You’re thinking awfully loud over there.” Lacey pulled his attention away from his mind that was running in circles. The filter between his brain and his mouth had clearly been damaged by paint fumes. “Aren’t you ready to give in yet and admit that there’s more going on here?” Turning toward him, Lacey batted her lashes. “Whatever do you mean? There’s a lot going on here, Bryce. In case you haven’t noticed, we’re in the middle of a remodel. There’s more than just painting that needs to be done.” “Tease. You’re a goddamn tease, Lacey.” He dropped his paintbrush and stalked in her direction. Maybe if he gave her just a taste, she would change her mind.

I felt rage burn through my veins at that. It was the first I’d heard of it.

 

“It was all supposed to happen, and then you came along. Little orphan girl, with the big blue eyes, and the big fake boobs.”
I licked the inside of my mouth, leaned over the island, grabbed her hand, and yanked her straight down onto the marble countertop. I moved my face inches from hers and smiled like the crazy person I was becoming.
“Elio wants a real woman, not some skinny drunk who can’t keep the bottle from her jacked-up lip job. Nor would he even want to entertain visiting your eight-men-a-day, stretched out, trailer trash vag.” She blinked at my crass words. “Come at me again, and I promise I will show you what I learned on the streets.”
I let go and leaned back, snatching the bottle from Mariano, who stared at me with a gaping mouth. “Oh, Anna, these are far from fake.” I took another shot, high-fived Donte behind the counter, and left.
