New Release ~ About Tomorrow ~ by ~ Abbi Glines

♦ ♦ ♦

About Tomorrow… I close my eyes as I hear him speak. I take one very long and deep breath hoping to calm the immediate butterflies that take flight in my stomach and hope to slow down the racing of my heart. The voice was slightly deeper but the timbre was one that was achingly familiar. My actions did little to help, but then who was I kidding? A deep breath wasn’t going to fix the effect he had on me and my body’s inevitable reaction. Even the memories that would forever haunt me couldn’t keep my emotions from triggering at the nearness of him once again. I used to pray that I’d find the strength to move on from him, from the pain that the end carried, from the emptiness in my chest, but ultimately move on from—the loss of Creed Sullivan and the death of his sister, Cora. The Sullivans had been the best part of my summers in New England. Deep down, I knew my ache for all that I had lost was the reason I returned… But I hadn’t expected to see him again—especially not like this.

Creed had put on a pair of faded jeans and a vintage Def Leppard tee shirt but he’d not brushed his hair. It worked for him but then Creed was the kind of sexy that could wear anything and still turn heads. As a little girl, I’d loved playing with him and as a teenage girl I had fallen in love with him. “Hello,” I said so softly- it was almost a whisper. “Their coffee is shit,” he said as he walked toward the kitchen. I turned my gaze back to the fire. Pretending like we were strangers was difficult. Once there had been so much I wanted to say to him. I’d wanted to ask him why? What had I done wrong? Why had he turned on me without a reason? Now, he was here. We were in the same room and I had no words. I couldn’t think of one thing to say. I heard him in the kitchen and as much as I wanted to not care that he was here my body was attuned to his every move. Maybe it was my nerves or uncertainty. It couldn’t possibly be more than that. His footsteps were soft and I realized he must be barefoot. The cold wouldn’t affect him like it did me. He was a New Englander. He sat down in the chair across from the sofa and his gaze was on me. I didn’t want to look at him. The fire was less confusing and unsettling. I didn’t have to pretend with the fire. Creed however was a different story. How did he expect me to act like we were strangers when there was so much in our past?

Cover Reveal ~ Soul Food ~ by ~ Michelle Gross

Title: Soul Food

Author: Michelle Gross

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Release Date: November 25, 2018

Cover Design: Mayhem Cover Creations

With no choice, a human bargains her soul for ten years of music and song.

With no time for anything beyond her dream, Ruth Thomas becomes a worldwide sensation, never knowing love or appreciating lust until she finally meets the mysterious president of Black Hearts, Amit Kingston.

In a game of seduction, Ruth thinks she can enjoy a moment of lust, if only once, before the demon comes and devours her soul. Only the demon makes touching men impossible and getting Amit Kingston to crack is a job itself.

The demon doesn’t just own her soul. He controls every aspect of her life, including her fragile heart and her body’s desires.

Worst of all, Ruth doesn’t realize how close the demon really is.

Michelle is from a small town in Eastern Kentucky where opossums try to blend in with the cats on the porch and bears are likely to chase your pets—this is very true, it happened with her sister’s dog. Despite the extra needed protection for your pets, she loves the mountains she calls home. She has a man and twin girls who are the light of her life and the reason she’s slightly crazy.

As a kid, she was that cousin, that friend, that sister and daughter, the talker who could spin a tale and make-believe into any little thing so it was no surprise when she found love in reading, and figured all these characters inside her head needed an outlet. They wanted to be heard, so she wrote.

The voices keep growing faster than she gets the time to write.

The stories are never going to end. That’s perfectly okay, though. We never want to stop an adventure.

New Release ~ Collateral Damage ~ by ~ Giulia Lagomarsino

Title: Collateral Damage

Series: The Cortell Brothers Book Two

Author: Giulia Lagomarsino

Genre: Small Town Romance

Release Date: December 7, 2020

Robert

I fell in love with her in high school and I knew then that she would be mine.

But life interfered. She moved halfway across the country and I went to college.

I knew she moved back home. I knew that her mother had died.

But I did nothing.

I was ashamed. I had walked away from her, thinking it was best for both of us. Now, thirteen years later, I can’t leave her alone anymore. I need her, but convincing her that we can still be together is going to be difficult. I hurt her bad when I left, but that’s just the beginning of our problems.

Anna

I fell in love with him under the stars. He was my savior when everything in my life was crumbling. But then he was gone and I was all alone again.

Thirteen years later, he’s back and he wants me. But I’m too angry. The only reason I’m even speaking to him is he helped me get a job…with his brother. Now I’ve been caught up in some kind of game he and Eric have going, and I’m stuck with him.

I hate him. But I still love him.

It would be so easy to fall back in love with the man he is now. Deep down, he’s the same person, just dressed fancier. But that’s the crux of our problem. We’re different people than we were in high school.

I just can’t see this working, and if we keep trying to go down this road, it’ll only end in heartache.

Goodreads Review – “As usual Guilia will keep you guessing right the way up to the end. A lovely small town romance story that will have you laughing and crying at times but a beautiful read as always.”

Goodreads Review – “This was an amazing story that got me very emotionally invested. It was entertaining, emotional and it kept me wanting to keep on reading.”

Goodreads Review – “As usually Giulia leaves you wanting more.

This was her best yet.

I highly recommend it.”

I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

New Release ~ The Blackmail of Denise Randall ~ by ~ Gail Haris

♦ ♦ ♦

She’s drowning under the weight of her lies.

Denise Randall is the youngest of the Randall siblings, their perfect princess. But her perfection is nothing but a façade – one that’s carefully hidden under a crown of lies. It takes everything she has to ensure the truth remains concealed, that her true feelings and imperfections stay in the shadows where they’ve always been due to her siblings and the family drama that surrounds the Randall family. But a person can only hold so much in before it becomes too painful a burden to bear, until the cost becomes too great a price to pay. When things turn dangerous and the shadows she once lived in hold something far more sinister, she finds help in an unlikely source. Keaton Sloan, like everyone in town, has known the Randall family his entire life. He went to school with the older Randall siblings, and his best friend, Noah Wallace, is in a relationship with Denise’s older sister, Alice. It hasn’t escaped Sloan’s notice that Denise Randall has grown into a stunningly beautiful young woman. Despite his attractions, she’s off limits, not only because she’s his friend’s younger sister, but because he works for her father. Things change between them one fateful night when Denise runs into his arms. Sloan may not be a prince, but he’s willing to help keep her crown on straight and her secrets hidden in exchange for her. But this isn’t a fairytale and while he’ll willingly protect the princess, she’ll have to save herself as well before she drowns in her lies. The biggest question is how do you know the truth when it’s built on so many lies?

He removes his hands as his lips caress mine. My eyes fall closed on a sigh. His strong hand comes back to mine, and then I feel cold metal clasp around my wrist. The more I struggle, the more it bites into my skin. He steps away and begins walking toward the country club. My eyes fly open, and I jerk my wrist that is now handcuffed to the steering wheel of my car. I call after him, but when he doesn’t stop, I begin screaming. “What the hell? Why do you have handcuffs? Who does that?” He turns around and smiles. “I figured I’d see you today with the bridal shower. Thought you’d get a kick out of them. My citizen’s arrest and all.” “You’re unstable. You need help.” He gives me a bored expression and shrugs, then turns around and begins walking again. “Are you forgetting something?” I hold my wrist up what little I can. “No. I’m not the one forgetting anything, but you are. You seem to have forgotten our mutual agreement. I expect you to uphold your end of the deal. Pop off at me again like that and you’ll have worse consequences.” “You’ve got to be kidding? You really are an ass.” He shakes his head and puts on his sunglasses. “I’m sorry,” I sneer. “You’re not sorry, yet.” I watch in horror as he walks to the clubhouse and shuts the door behind him. What a prick! A fucking deranged prick. I look around feeling humiliated. I struggle to open my car door, but I can’t get in with how my wrist is handcuffed through the window. I end up just crawling through it. I can’t reach my bag with my phone in it, so I press the handless call button on my steering wheel. “Call Trent.” “Calling Trent,” my car announces. I patiently wait for him to answer my call. Thankfully, he does. “I need your help, but you can’t tell anyone.” Long pause. Then he asks, “Denise, what kind of trouble are you in?” “I’m handcuffed.” Another long pause before he replies, “Denise, where exactly are you handcuffed and to what?” “My wrists are handcuffed to my steering wheel. I’m in the country club parking lot, but I don’t want to worry Mom and Dad.” I hear him release a huff of breath. “So you’re fully clothed?” “Yes!” “Oh thank God. Okay, so all that’s happened is you’re handcuffed to the steering wheel…fully clothed? Who handcuffed you?” “Yes. It was…” Gosh, I don’t want to tell Trent it’s Keaton. He’ll find this hilarious. “It was a wannabe police officer. Look, I just need you to please come get these handcuffs off me.” “Why’d he do that?” “We can discuss that when you get here and remove the handcuffs.”

I ran away from Los Angeles to escape a crazy, obsessed fan.

But when I came back home, I never fathomed everyone would hate me for no other reason than me just being myself.

Then I met Vinny and Trey, my brother’s friends who are also members of the Devil Souls MC.

One single night, that’s all it took for my life to change.

Two men, one of me.

I’d finally found the missing pieces of my heart, and in two guys that would undoubtedly die to protect me.

Unfortunately for me, running away didn’t mean I’d escape. Crazy people are everywhere.

And then, he knocked on my door.

Once more, everything changed…

EXCERPT REVEAL:

Vinny kisses me so tenderly and it touches a special part of my heart I think is reserved for him. He kisses my forehead in a final touch before I am handed off to Trey who kisses me with the same amount of passion.

“You are the best thing to happen to both of us, baby,” Trey tells me as he breaks the kiss.

Tears fill my eyes. This is the best moment of my life; their words and the contentment in my heart that I have never felt before. I just met them, but it’s like I have always known them. Both of them wrap their arms around me and each other as we stand together, enjoying the moment.
