A Bachelor Tower World Novel

Author: Lacey Black

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Cover Design: Melissa Gill Designs

Release Date: March 23, 2021

BLURB

I’m in trouble.

On the brink of losing everything I’ve worked for, I have a choice to make. Sit back and watch it all evaporate before my eyes, or accept a deal with the devil himself, my identical twin brother, Matthew.

He has agreed to fund my floundering cattle ranch if I do three things:

Oversee the redecorating of his apartment in the famed Bachelor Tower in Boston.
Make sure his latest business deal proceeds without a hitch.
Break up with his girlfriend, Kyla.

Seems easy enough, right?

Wrong.

Pretending to be my brother is hard enough, but tossing in an instant attraction to my brother’s girlfriend adds an extra layer of complication I wasn’t prepared for. All I have to do is get through three weeks portraying my brother, and I’m home free.

Shouldn’t be too hard, as long as I can keep my heart out of the deal.

*Bachelor Swap is a sexy contemporary romance addition to Ruth Cardello’s Bachelor Tower World.

Sales Blitz ~ Hard Hart ~ by ~ Whitley Cox

Title: Hard Hart

Series: The Harty Boys #1

Author: Whitley Cox

Genre: Contemporary Romance, Romance Suspense

Release Date: October 11, 2018

It’ll take a tough woman to win this Hard Hart…

Krista Matthews, a hard-headed, hard-fighting rookie cop, is determined to prove herself on the force. It’s not just a man’s world anymore and she’ll show them all she’s up to the challenge, even if it means putting up with the advances from her lecherous mentor, Myles Slade. However, Brock is even more stubborn than she is, he’s all male, all alpha—and whether she likes it or not he’s made keeping her safe his number one priority. He doesn’t realize she doesn’t need protection; she can take of herself and then some.

Brock Hart, bodyguard and retired special operative, has never known anyone like Krista. Ever since their first meeting, when she pulled him over for speeding, he’s been drawn to her. She infuriates him, challenges him, and has gotten under his skin in a way no woman ever has. He’s kept people at arm’s length all his life for good reason, but Krista won’t stand for it. She wants to know everything about him, and that puts him on edge. But one drunken night together changes everything. Their worlds are rocked, and Brock’s quiet, introverted life is threatened forever. Which may be exactly what he needs.

“Once again Whitley Cox connects two unlikely characters into a love story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Krista and Brock may be instantly connected by one night of drunk passion but that does not stop the two very different people from making the most of their time together. Then throw in the danger that seems to follow Krista and makes the introvert Brock open not just his home but also his heart and you have an emotional read that had more twists and turns than a roller coaster. This is one ride that I did not want to get off of. With a storyline that had me from the opening pages and the heart warming characters you could not help but fall in love with them, this is a book you do not want to miss.” (Nicki ~The Overflowing Bookcase ~ Goodreads Reviewer)

“Wow, what a book! It was an absolutely fantastic and enjoyable series starter! This story had me hooked from the beginning and kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. It is well written with a well-developed plot, moves along at a brisk pace and is quite the page turner. The violent suspense, action, witty banter, and talk of sexual abuse had my heart racing. The characters are amazing and perfect; the side characters also add to the high level of excitement. The intimacy between Brock and Krista is smoking hot and intense. This book is guaranteed to knock your socks off. It could not have been better in my opinion. I am looking forward to reading book 2.” (Debra Richardson ~ Goodreads Reviewer)

“I am a big Whitley Cox fan. I don’t care what she is writing about, all I know is that I want to read it.

She has an ability to write two completely different characters and mesh their lives together ending up with the perfect couple.

Brock and Krista should probably never have met, let alone become a couple. But even though what they have together is so very far from smooth sailing, I liked how they worked together to be with one another.

There is plenty going on in this story. I couldn’t wait to read two certain people meet their fate.

Brilliantly written as always and I can’t wait to read Whitley’s next book.” (Sharon Jones ~ Goodreads Reviewer)

She pushed her backside into his growing erection and giggled when he groaned, bucking into her.

He bent her over, pulling her pajama pants and underwear down in the process. She kicked out of her pants and then stood there, her fingers kneading the soft leather of the couch as Brock’s capable hands massaged and caressed her craving backside.

Was it too early to ask him to spank her? She’d have to put a pin in that and see. Because one thing for sure, Krista liked it a little rough. Liked a little pain with her pleasure.

He gripped both her hips, positioned himself behind her, and then drove home. She let out a soft grunt from the impact, but damn if it didn’t feel good. She loved this position, which was ironic given how submissive it was and how in control she liked to be. But they wouldn’t finish like this. This was just the beginning. She squeezed her muscles around him as he pushed into her.

She needed this.

God, how she’d needed this.

Her vibrator just wasn’t cutting it these days. And now, after another taste of Brock Hart, she wasn’t sure it ever would.

Lost in the moment, she reveled in the feeling of Brock deep inside her, filling her, fulfilling her. The spank came out of nowhere, startling the daylights out of her. She yelped and then fell face first into the couch, her arms flying out from under her and causing Brock to slip out.

“You okay?” he asked, helping her up.

She looked back at him and smiled. “Yes. Again.”

Triumph, wicked and primal, glimmered in his green eyes. “Sorry, I should have asked first.”

She shook her head. “No. I want more. Harder.” She assumed the position and he was back inside her in seconds. Three hard, lightning-quick smacks had her panting and pushing into his palm, grinding her backside up to reach his pelvis. Her pussy dripped down her thighs, and her legs shook from his power.

He was having a hard time holding on. His grunts and wavering patterns said he was riding that beautiful edge between insanity and pure bliss. But she wasn’t quite there, and she wanted to be on top.

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.

The residue of my sins and secrets arise demanding repayment. And they might destroy us all over again.

Sins or Secrets, an all-new standalone second-chance romance from USA Today bestselling author Khardine Gray, is coming March 4th and we have the smoking hot cover!

There’s a lot to know about me. I could start with my sins or my secrets. But they are one and the same: I’m a liar.

Ten years ago, I left Logan. My lies destroyed us. But… what he didn’t know was I lied because I had to. It was the only way to protect him from my father’s cruel hand.

That last goodbye was supposed to be forever. I left town and never expected to see him again. Then Aunt Lily died, and I returned home. Not knowing her will would open Pandora’s box.

Her will threw me right back in Logan’s path, and back in his bed. But he’s not the boy I left behind. He’s the irresistible, tempting ex-marine women put on their wish list. And our attraction is incinerating. All consuming. Undeniable. And, unlike the past, there’s no one standing in our way. There’s nothing to stop us. Except me.

The residue of my sins and secrets arise demanding repayment. And they might destroy us all over again.

I never should have gone commando in that dress.

I’m almost positive the rest of it wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t been dangling off a hotel balcony with my lady parts in the breeze. And of course the one person to witness my mortification had to be HIM. Camden Cox.

Sure, today he’s gorgeous and wealthy, and fine, I can admit he has a great sense of humor. But once upon a time, he was the boy who loved to make my life miserable.

He no longer pulls my pigtails, but I know his type. He wants one thing, and one thing only. A chance to get in my pants.

Nope. Not happening. Not even with that sexy Southern drawl.

But I’m Sophie Abbott, and if there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s making a mess.

Only this isn’t just a mess. It’s a disaster. A Sophie disaster.

Because after a wild night in Vegas, I wake up naked in his hotel room.

And I’m pretty sure we got married.

Author’s note: An adorkable hot mess who throws a cocky charmer completely off his game. Plus a salty dad playing matchmaker, laugh-out-loud banter, a couch scene that will melt your Kindle, and the swooniest of swoony happy endings.

Sales Blitz ~ Deep in the Heart ~ by ~ Alexa Padgett

♦ ♦ ♦

A steamy, emotional romance from USA Today Bestselling Author Alexa Padgett.

Remembering the music I love… lets me forget a past that haunts me.

I thought realizing my dream of country music stardom would chase away the ghosts of the past. But I didn’t understand how the horrors of war would imprint their scars on my heart… leaving me a shadow of the man I used to be.

Haunted by regret, filled with a rage I can’t control, I destroy my favorite guitar.

A J. Olsen original. The only instrument that allows my fingers to caress my music into creation.

Now, I need a new one, and in order to get it fast, I have to work with her—Jenna. She stirs something deep inside me. Something I haven’t felt in years.

When I stare into her breathtaking eyes for the first time, I see struggles that echo my own. The kind of torment that colors a woman’s soul. But I’m drawn to her—I just can’t stay away.

As our emotions start to blossom, creating a magic that rivals the music, Jenna’s dangerous ex reappears to play a reckless game. Between his lust for revenge and the unreasonable demands of my record label, we can’t catch our big break.

And unless we can both heal the wounds that remain shuttered in darkness, we’ll lose everything.

“Dad, no pressure, but you know the third date is important, right?” Jake says, moving beside me.

I give him the side-eye. “You been watching those YouTube dating videos again?”

“Look, he’s got some good advice,” Marco says. “It worked for me, didn’t it?”

I snort and turn back to my son. “It’s not my first rodeo, kid.”

“Well, in fairness to Jake, it’s not like you’ve had to date for a while,” Gio says from where he’s running behind me.

Luca bursts ahead and turns to face us, running backward as he does. “I’m an expert at modern dating. Ask me anything—I’ll help you out, brother.”

“When did you last have a girlfriend?” I ask, earning a middle finger from him.

“Not all of us are as lucky as Marco, who goes to a damn house showing and ends up meeting the love of his life. Sheesh. That shit only happens in books, I swear.”

“Or movies,” Jake adds.

Luca nods. “Exactly.”

“And you would know this how?” Gio asks, not even breaking a sweat as we hit the one-mile marker.

“Reading romance novels. They’re surprisingly enlightening.” Luca says this like it’s completely normal. For others it is. For Luca Rossi—fuck no.

“Is that right?” Marco muses. “Let me guess. You’ve been stealing Mama’s bodice rippers? The ones with that long-haired, shirtless guy on the front?”

I turn my head. “Wait, are you talking about Fabio? My mom used to have those too.”

“Are we seriously running five miles talking about fucking romance books? Or are we gonna find out the goods from Rhodes about his love life?” Gio says, sounding far too interested in whether I’m getting laid or not.

Thank heavens for Jake tagging along. “Hello? Son here. Don’t wanna know deets about what Dad is or is not getting up to. As long as he’s happy—that’s all I need to know.”

Marco snorts. “Dude, you wanted your dad to meet someone.”

“Yeah. Doesn’t mean I need to hear the locker-room talk. Jeez,”
