BLURB:

A biker princess. A broken billionaire. Will his sins come back to haunt them?

The darling little sister of the Demon Squad MC, Sammi loved everything about growing up in the club, including her infuriating older brother Puck. She’d do anything for Puck. After he gets arrested, she marches into the courtroom to give him a piece of her mind and marches out with the prosecutor’s full attention.

Recently clean and sober, prosecutor Stanton Prescott is focused on two things: working his caseload and making his very unprivate life, well…private. But when a sassy woman interrupts one of his cases to give the defendant a dressing down, she’s a temptation he can’t resist.

Stanton tracks Sammi down and makes her a proposal – be her sugar daddy in exchange for a taste of her luscious body. After a month in rehab, Stanton’s active imagination is dying to be set loose. He counts on her to agree, in exchange for getting Puck out of prison. What he doesn’t expect is for Sammi to see past his sophisticated mask. She not only sees him, but revels in the demanding beast within.

Together the pair battle angry exes, suspicious bikers, and other shadowy figures. Will their unlikely love survive the sins of Stanton’s past?

Come follow them on the ride of their lives with just one click.

DON’T SAY WE DIDN’T WARN YOU — HERE COMES THE HEAT!

“Don’t tell me you’re a prude.”

“No, I’m not a prude but here’s your first lesson, buddy. You’ve got to work your way up to talking dirty to me, and let me tell you, you haven’t even begun to work hard enough for it.” She gave him that sassy, disgusted look-over again. Fucking cute and hot.

He folded his arms over his chest, and she mimicked his posture, although hers had the benefit of shoving her tits up—creamy, and just plain lickable. Oh, he’d lick her, first chance he got. From end to fucking end. “Is that right? I’m going to be schooled by a little girl?”

“If the shoe fits,” she sassed back. “And stop calling me little girl.” Her hands flapped down her frame. “I’m a damn woman.”

Back in her space, the back of his knuckles found the line of her cheekbone. “Oh, no. The term “little girl” stays. You’re too fucking adorable, and I want to be the man who takes care of you.” His tone dropped an octave, coming out almost hoarse. “I’ll do whatever it takes, work as hard as it takes, to have the privilege of taking care of this tight body of yours. To do whatever I want with it, whenever I want. But calling you “little girl” is nonnegotiable.”

She pushed him back. He let his hand drop and stepped away again. “You don’t look old enough to be a sugar daddy. How old are you, anyway?”

“I’m twenty-nine, and a sugar daddy is in how a man treats you, not in their age. And, I plan on treating you very, very well,” he ended in a growl.

Looking him up and down as if thoroughly unimpressed, she cocked her hip and harrumphed. “I’ll think about it.”

“You do that, little girl.”

About Monique

Growing up in New York City, I used to walk the hot pavements in the melting heat of the long summers, and dream. Uptown to downtown, eastside to the westside, and underground to catch a subway racing out into the boroughs.

During my wanderings, my magic pencil spun out fantasies full of romance, with first meetings, heartbreaks, and reunions. Sometimes my boy crush (unrequited, of course) starred as the hero.

I grew up, and after a stint in art school, became a lawyer ‘cuz a woman’s got to make a living. I came from parents who fled to France as refugees, and as an attorney, I dedicated my work to helping survivors of trauma and persecution.

I believe in them. In their grit, in their determination to hold on, to pull through and, somehow, someway, to keep themselves intact, body and soul. Perhaps that is why I am drawn to writing stories of men and women who live through heart-rending pain, desperate yearnings and, ultimately, reach a place of redemption.

For a long time, I fought the urge to veer off the expected, safe path until I couldn’t go on unless I took a chance and made a change. I began to write, stopped, and began again. Finally, I gave in and here I am.

Come join me on my journey…

New Release ~ Thunder ~ by ~ Lilly Atlas

Title: Thunder

Series: Hell’s Handlers MC

Author: Lilly Atlas

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: November 3, 2020

Makenna has a past she’d rather bury deep in her mind. Unfortunately, as the sole guardian for her five siblings, forgetting where they came from isn’t possible. All she can hope for is to provide her loved ones the kind of untroubled childhood she’d always dreamed of and keep them far away from where she grew up. Friendships and relationships, especially the romantic variety, don’t rank on her priority list. That is until she’s introduced to a hot biker whose playful personality and mesmerizing smile would make any woman perk up and take notice, even one with more responsibilities than sense.

Thunder has seen it all, done it all, and has no interest in the high maintenance, in-your-face, party girls. Give him a no-frills woman, like the diner’s adorable new waitress, who doesn’t play games rather than a scantily clad bimbo who manipulates men for sport. Makenna is precisely the kind of fun he needs to celebrate patching with the Hell’s Handlers MC. Only he quickly discovers Makenna is a package deal with more baggage than a carefree guy like him can handle.

With each passing day, Thunder finds himself increasingly drawn to Makenna despite her mountain of responsibilities and his distrust of relationships. Even crazier is how some of her siblings are working their way under his skin and into his heart, as is Makenna.

Just as Thunder starts thinking about dates and promises, the CDMC roars back into his life. They’re responsible for his beloved club brother’s death, and he wants nothing more than to make them suffer.

When the threats start coming, and Makenna finds herself caught in the crossfire, Thunder will discover exactly the kind of man he is, and how far he’s willing to go to keep Makenna and her siblings in his life.

New Release ~ Rocking His Fake World ~ by ~ Alexis Winter

Title: Rocking His Fake World

Series: Love You Forever

Author: Alexis Winter

Genre: Contemporary Steamy Romance

Release Date: November 2, 2020

I should be celebrating my band signing a major record deal.
How can I, when it’s costing me the love of my life?

From the very beginning, Daniel and I knew this day was coming.
We made a deal early on that when I left on tour, whatever was between us would end.
After all, I could never ask him to put his life on hold for me.
Still, with what time we had, we reveled in the passion between us night after night.

It was a fiery love story so intense, it was only a matter of time before it consumed us.
But it wasn’t without consequences.
There’s a lot to risk when you decide to fake it with someone.
Pretending you aren’t falling in love. Pretending your heart won’t be shattered when you walk away.
Then the time came for that crushing goodbye.
There was no more we have to stop doing this.
No more sneaking around.

Would I take it all back if it would grant me even a momentary reprieve from the pain?
All the stolen kisses? All the heated moments between the sheets?
Not for an instant.
I’d do it all over again… because he’s worth the heartbreak.

I pretended I wasn’t going to fall in love.
Now, with only the memory of his kisses to hold on to, I realize how wrong I was.

Before I say what I need to say, I want to tell you how amazingly perfect these last few weeks with you have been. Every moment of it was perfect and I wouldn’t change it for the world.”

“But?” I ask, feeling it coming on.

“But… I’ve been thinking about how unfair this all is to you. I mean, I’m out there, living my life and doing what I want to do and you’re here wasting your life by waiting for me. I don’t want you to move on without me, but I don’t want you missing out on your life for me either.”

“What are you saying, Luna?” I ask, feeling the panic rising in my chest.

“I’m saying that when I get back, if you’re still around and wanting me, I will want you too. But I don’t want you waiting on me. I want you to go out and experience life. I don’t want you missing out on opportunities because you’re waiting for me. If you find some girl attractive, I want you to be able to ask her out. If you get offered an amazing job, I want you to be able to decide if you want to take it or not and I don’t want you factoring me in. I just want you to be happy, even if it isn’t with me.”

I nod my head as I clamp my teeth together. “So, you’re breaking up with me?”

She turns to face me. “No, I’m not breaking up with you because we’re not together, Daniel. As much as it hurts me to do this, I’m letting you go free, to find whatever makes you happy when I can’t be here. Please, understand the difference.”

New Release ~ The Power of a Myth ~ by ~ Anna Edwards

Title: The Power of a Myth

Series: Glacial Blood Series #8

Author: Anna Edwards

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Release Date: November 3, 2020

Molly Hughes lost the man she loved almost forty years ago when he chose to take part in a deadly war which saw humans fighting humans. He died a hero, and she retreated to the silent sanctuary of the Glacial Blood National Park. She’s feeling her age now and knows she needs the pack’s help. What she doesn’t count on is the ghost that walks through her front door.

Hayden Eckert was a war hero, and when an explosion destroyed his life, he was called to become a higher being. But the dragon’s bone prophecy was too powerful to contain, and he’s been forced to spend most of his life imprisoned for fear of the damage he could cause. Is this now his time to shine? Or will his guilt at losing the woman he loved consume him?

Will Molly and Hayden’s story be the true tragedy in the fight against freedom?

Welcome to the bestselling Glacial Blood series, a world of shifters and witches, magic and mayhem, unforgivable lies, and unbreakable love. A world where family is born not only through blood, but a bond. With plenty of threats to come—and a secret that remains untold.

“Fucking stupid woman,” he called out, but it was only a few seconds before he rushed into the jungle after her.

He been in areas like this before—they were littered with hazards and traps, not just from wild creatures but also enemy weapons.

“Stop,” he shouted to her, but she kept walking, deeper and deeper. He followed her path until he found her standing in a clearing. “Are you insane?” he yelled at her. “You could get us both killed. There could be any number of explosive traps laid around here.”

“Are you worried about me now, or just yourself?” Molly retorted.

“We’re forbidden to come into the jungle,” Hayden snapped back.

“Yet, you accused me of coming in here, how did you politely put it, to fuck someone?” She raised an eyebrow at him.

“You’ve no light to guide you this time. It’s crazy.”

“I didn’t have any light last time. I don’t need it,” Molly responded.

There was no anger in her tone anymore. It was flat, and it scared him.

“Molly, what is going on?”

She lowered her head before raising it again and looking directly at him. “I’ve never revealed this before, but something tells me you’ll understand…I don’t know why? I’m probably insane, but there’s something you need to know about me.”

Hayden watched as she pulled her t-shirt over her head and dropped it on the jungle floor.

“What are you doing?” He rushed at her, and picking up the t-shirt, he tried to use it to cover her body. He couldn’t help staring at her breasts encased in a white lace bra, though. They were the perfect size, and his dick started to lengthen in his army issue pants.

“You said you believe dragons once existed and that one day you’ll find their bones. Let me do this, Hayden. Let me show you what really exists that you have no clue about.”

There was something about the honesty in her eyes that made him stop and step back from her. He held her t-shirt to his chest as he watched her lower her pants. Her underwear followed next until she was naked before him. She took his breath away. All he could do was look at her perfect body. His dick strained in the confines of his pants even though he still believed she’d been with another man earlier. Or did he? Something told him this wasn’t about sex.

Let me show you what really exists that you have no clue about.

Her words sent a shiver down his spine.

“Show me,” he ordered.

All I am a British author, from the depths of the rural countryside near London. In a previous life, I was an accountant from the age of twenty-one. I still do that on occasions, but most of my life is now spent intermingling writing while looking after my husband, two children and two cats (probably in the inverse order to the one listed!). When I have some spare time, I can also be found writing poetry, baking cakes (and eating them), or behind a camera snapping like a mad paparazzi.

I’m an avid reader who turned to writing to combat my depression and anxiety. I have a love of travelling and like to bring this to my stories to give them the air of reality. I like my heroes hot and hunky with a dirty mouth, my heroines demure but with spunk, and my books full of dramatic suspense.

New Release ~ Significant ~ by ~ Shanen Ricci

Title: Significant

Author: Shanen Ricci

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: November 3, 2020

Aaron LeBeau crashes into my life as my savior. But he is no prince. He is everything I shouldn’t crave. A danger, sending all the wrong signals while awakening all the right things.

Aaron LeBeau.

A heartless alpha.

An undefeated Formula 1 driver.

A dark enigma.

… And the man who trapped me into an agreement.

I was supposed to unravel who he is, without shattering my rules.

I didn’t sign up for a whirlwind passion of a twisted role-play of the hunter and the prey.

Nor for our demons to be magnetically attracted, our chemistry to be haunting, our broken souls to understand each other.

I promised I would never be his; body, soul, heart.

And that’s a promise he’s hell-bent on breaking.

Love.

A banned word from our vocabulary.

Significant.

It has never been a possibility for us.

A mutual salvation, or mutual destruction.

Breaking or freeing each other.

Healing or getting ripped apart.

A fatal game.

Shanen Ricci writes angsty and passionate romance books.

She began her journey by touching millions of readers online. When she’s not writing, she’s either acting on set, competing on 5k races, or trying to wink like James Franco.

Title: Holiday Hookup

Author: S.A. Clayton

Genre: Contemporary Romance (Christmas Novella)

Release Date: November 17, 2020

Cover Design: Outlined with Love Designs

I never thought I’d be divorced and a single mother before I turned thirty. But life had other plans.

I was content with my life. Being a mom to Jaxon, working as a legal assistant, and hanging out with my best friend.

Then I met Dane Thompson.

Lead singer of Blanked Edge and my new neighbor.

The man looks way too delicious in those tight shirts and baggy jeans, with eyes that seem to sear into my very soul.

And when my apartment floods and he asks us to move in for a few days, I find myself saying yes.

Is it a good idea?

Probably not.

Do I do it anyway regardless of the way he makes me squirm with just a look?

Of course.

Nothing at all can go wrong….right?

S.A. Clayton lives in a small town outside of Toronto, Canada with her husband of five years and her scary large collection of books that seem to take over every room.

She has worked on both sides of the publishing industry, both in a bookstore and for actual publishing companies. Although she loved both for different reasons, she found that writing was her true passion and has spent the last few years breaking into the industry as best she can.

She is a lover of all things romance and began her writing journey in her late twenties. Since then, she has immersed herself in the romance genre and couldn’t be happier.

When she’s not writing or reading, she enjoys binging a great Netflix show (Stranger Things anyone?), baking (because who doesn’t love cookies!), and spending time with her family.
