Dalton
 
The thing about love…
 
It’s kind & beautiful, soft & hard, forgiving & emotional, but love can also be blind. Love can twist and turn you into someone unrecognizable.
 
That’s the way it was for Josie and me. She became my everything. I fell heart over mind, allowing her to take the only thing that I could call my own. The life I envisioned for us was blurred by secrets, hard to overcome. She made me question whether what we had was based on truth or a lie.
 
 
Joselyn
 
Dalton was an obstacle in the way of what I’d always shied away from, and the only way to reach my end was through him. So, I made a choice to get close to him, even when I shouldn’t have. We were never meant to be what we became. I didn’t intend for something forced to turn into something real. In the end, Dalton was so much more than just a means to an end. He held the key to everything, including my heart. It was his to have, to hold, to break, and to mend.
 
That’s the thing about love…
 
It can’t be forced. It just happens, and once it’s in motion, it’s impossible to stop.

 

Angela K. Parker is a country girl with a big heart. She’s a South Carolina native with a passion for writing, reading, music, & math. When she’s not engaged in any of the above, she’s spending time with her family or catching up on the latest movies. She’s always had a very active imagination. Now she’s putting it to good use.

For Spenser Ingram love is an abstract concept. Friendless and fearless, he happily walks his own solo path. Encouraged by his parents to wield his cold-blooded ruthlessness like a weapon, the boy who never cried grew into a man who regularly makes others weep.

Sent to deliver a message to a local motorcycle club that’s standing in the way of his family’s never-ending pursuit of power, he encounters Poppy Tennyson and is immediately captivated.

For the first time in his life, Spenser wants something for himself.

Unfortunately, a decades-long conspiracy is playing out behind the scenes, and he’s quickly left questioning if his affection for Poppy is genuine or a carefully crafted illusion created by the one person he thought he could trust.

The Dangerous Son is a dark and erotic romantic thriller set in a world where deception is the norm and the truth can’t be trusted.

Stepping up onto my tiptoes, I nip at his whiskered chin, then yank his shirttails out of his waistband.After helping him drag the shirt over his head, I press a kiss against his heart. With a flirty wink, I unbuckle his belt and snap open the top button of his pants. A harsh breath is blown out over the top of my head when I pull Spenser’s zipper down. He grips my wrist and holds my hand in place.

“No expectations, remember?”

“I know.” My knuckles graze his bulge when I flex my fingers to test his resolve.

He hisses when I move my fingers again. My second touch galvanizes Spenser into action. He lets go of my arm and unbuttons my shirt with agile fingers. My black pants are pulled down to my ankles. Kneeling in front of me, Spenser tugs my heels free and helps me step out of them. When he peels my socks off, he tugs my pants to the floor.

“Jesus,” he curses. Every inch of my skin flushes red when Spenser drags his nose from my knee to the apex of my thighs. “I want to eat you.”
“Do it.” My challenge hangs in the air until he runs his finger over my panties, right down the slit to the tiny wet spot that’s darkening the red cotton. I thread my fingers through his hair, tugging at his locks as warmth travels from my lower stomach to pool in my groin. “Touch me. Do something. Please.”
Spenser hooks his thumb into one side of my panties and slides them across to expose me. My hips buck as he slowly pushes his middle finger inside me. My legs turn to jelly, and struggling to maintain my balance, I clutch at his wide shoulders and his head. Eyes wide open, I rock my hips back and forth, watching as he works that single digit in and out of me.

“Oh, oh, oh,” I moan when Spenser increases his pace. “Oh.”

My grip on his hair has to be turning painful, yet he says nothing. In complete silence, he works me into a frenzy. I’m close. Closer than I’ve ever been without someone hurting me. Without someone holding a gun on me or restraining me. Without the choice to climax being forced onto me.

As my vision fills with black spots of ecstasy, memories that I don’t want to acknowledge begin to spring from their vault in my mind. My eyebrows draw together, and I screw my eyes shut to block out the monster who lives in my head. I’m on the cusp of pushing Spenser away, so I can hide from the feelings he’s pulling free when he presses his face against my mound and laves his flattened tongue over my clit. As my orgasm rockets through me, Spenser thrusts a second finger inside my heat and fucks me fast with his hand.

“Spenser. God. Fuck. Spenser!” I scream as my pussy detonates. Delicious warmth flows through melike lava. The flames of my climax ignite my mind and blazes across my skin. “Oh. God.”

Once I’ve finished spasming around his fingers, Spenser sweeps me into his arms and deposits me on the bed. He crawls over me, and I finally open my eyes to look at the man who just took me somewhere no one else ever has. The wonder that lightens his green gaze steals my breath. He is transfixed by my gaze, searching my face like he’s trying to read my mind. My lungs ache with the need to breathe, but my body refuses to cooperate.

I’ll let every atom of my body burn if it means I can remain in this moment forever.

Zoe Hill square logo

Zoe Hill is an Australian author. She hates speaking about herself in third person, but hopes you’ll bear with her…

A fan of the saying, “there’s three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth,” Zoe has discovered that she enjoys delving into the so-called villain’s version of events as she writes. In life and fiction, she firmly believes that we’re all one ‘bad’ decision away from becoming the villain in someone’s story.

This belief led to the creation of her brand of love story – Villainous Romance.

Residing in the Central West of New South Wales, she’s a country girl at heart who loves a good dose of heavy metal, watches UFC fights like it’s her job, and can be found discussing the plot of her current WIP with her animals. Zoe loves a good cup of coffee, lives and breathes books, and is pretty proud of how well she’s moonlighting as a competent wife and mother.

Zoe is active online and loves nothing better than chatting about books.

TBRreview

Finn and Abbie’s story was EXACTLY what I was needing right now with the crazy world today.

Abbie is a shyer woman who is fine staying on the photographer side of the camera. And Finn, her best friend’s older brother is Abbie’s complete opposite. Abbie wants to get more confidence and wants to start online dating. So she starts talking with men online and ends up getting help from Finn, unknowingly.

Abbie and Finn are so freaking adorable and you can feel the tension and chemistry between the 2 of them. And it’s just so delicious to read.

Finn and Abbie might be my favorite of the Everton couples but I will still read all the books again and again.

5 stars!

collects what he’s owed.

The choice is mine.

Marry the enemy… or watch him kill my father as payback.

Devious is a mafia book with an arranged marriage, enemies to lovers and an
age gap romance.

 

Excerpt
Every minute that
ticks by, butterflies tickle the inside of my rib cage as I wait for Devious to
waltz through the bedroom. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to being married.
I’ve never slept in a bed with a man. When I would visit Atrocious, I’d sleep
in his guestroom.
The cotton sheets
stick to my exposed skin, and I turn on my side. I have on my tank top and
pajama pants. Nothing fancy because I’m not going to have sex with Devious, and
I’m going to let him know up front.
My pulse jumps as
Devious strolls through the room. He’s no longer sporting the tux he wore at
the wedding, but black t-shirt and gray sweatpants. Those sweatpants should be
banned from the male species as it shows off the outline of his dick. My cheeks
flush and my legs shake. He’s stupid beautiful. It makes me sick to be sexually
attracted to him.
He slides under the
black blanket, faces me, and stares into my eyes. Silence falls between us, and
the only thing I hear is the air conditioner pumping out cold air.
“We can’t have sex,”
I tell him. “I’m sick.”
“Sick how?”
“Uh. My stomach
hurts, and I spoke with the doctor. She said I can’t have sex for a while
because I have a type of illness that won’t allow me to have a baby.”
He tilts his head to
the side, a frown paints his face. He stands up from the bed. “What’s the name
of the illness?”
“I don’t know.”
“How long have you
had it?” The lines around his mouth crinkles.
“Um… three years.”
“You need to be
punished for lying.”
I freeze, and my
eyes widen. “What?”
“Pull down your
panties, lie down with your ass in the air.”
I’m not lying!” I
sit up on my knees.
“How fucking stupid
do you think I am?” He folds his hand across his chest. “If you really were
sick, you would know the name of your illness.”
I shift my gaze from
him.
“Pull down your
pants. Now, Roselyn Vitali.” He grits his teeth. “I’m tired of your
disrespect.”
“How am I being
disrespectful?”
“Let me refresh your
memory.” He rubs his thumb on his chin. “When you tried to get me upset at
breakfast by saying you’re going to the club to lose your virginity to someone
else. That’s you being spiteful because I made you wear a necklace. Then you
were being very disrespectful towards my brother and almost cost me a three
million dollar deal. That’s you being childish and mean. And you lied to me
about being sick. That’s you wanting to take control of the situation.
Apparently, you don’t respect me. “
My palms are sweaty,
and I chew on my tongue.
Apparently, he’s
been watching my behavior because all of it is true. I sit up on my knees,
straighten my back as heat creeps up on the back of my neck. I knew the real
Devious was going to come out sooner or later.
“Pull down yo—”
“Devious, I’m
so—”
“No, you’re not.
You’re only sorry because you got caught. You need to learn to respect me. If I
force you to do it, you won’t like it.”
With trembling
hands, I pull down my pants, bending down on the bed with my ass in the air,
giving him a direct view of my vagina. His large frame hovers over me, and my
pulse jumps. His hand smacks across my delicate flesh, and I grit my teeth as I
keep the tears at bay. Devious is already trying to break my spirit, but I
won’t let him.
I get up and pull my
pants over my hips. “Don’t put your hands on me ever again.” I stick my hand in
pants, digging my nails into my thigh. The pain of him slapping my ass arouses
me in places I don’t want. Humiliation dampens my cheeks.
“You will obey me.
You will show me respect or be prepared to be punished.”
From the corner of
my eye, I watch him go to the mini bar next to the walk-in closet.
“If you didn’t want
to have sex, then you could have said so. I have zero tolerance for liars,” he
murmurs.
The sound of the
amble liquid pours into the crystal glass fills the air. Tears stream down my
face, and he waltzes over, using his callous thumb to wipe the tears from under
my eyes. His touch is gentle and warm. And the odd thing is, I want him to
touch me everywhere. I turn my head away from his touch, but he grips my chin.
His violet eyes meet mine. “Just because I’m kind to you doesn’t mean you can
take advantage of me. I plan to be the best husband I can be, but take my
kindness for weakness, and I’ll be the cruelest person you’ll ever meet.” He
sips his bourbon as his eyes still bore into mines.
My throat bobs as I
swallow hard. His words chill to the bone. “I’m not going to take your shit,
Cayden.”
He chuckles. “I
control thousands of men across the U.S. I’m sure I can tame a
nineteen-year-old naïve girl.”
“Good luck.”
The bastard has the
audacity to smirk at me. He rubs his thumb on my bottom lip, and I’m tempted to
nip it just to see him squirm. “You’re going to make this marriage interesting,
and I’m going to enjoy every minute of it.”

Release Date: February 9, 2021

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Montlake Publishing

Quinn-TheWeddingGame-COVE

USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn’s latest bauble is the charming story of a crafting queen battling a jaded divorce lawyer on a wedding reality show.

Luna Wu is a veritable crafting genius—she can bedazzle and bead so hard her Etsy site is one of the hottest in the world. So it’s only natural that Luna would convince her brother and his husband-to-be to compete on The Wedding Game, a “do-it-yourself” TV show, for the title of Top DIY Wedding Expert.

As a jaded divorce lawyer, Alec Baxter scoffs at weddings and romance. But when his recently engaged brother begs him to participate in The Wedding Game, Alec grudgingly picks up a glue gun and prepares for some family bonding.

Both fierce competitors, Luna and Alec clash on national TV as harsh words and glitter fly with abandon. But as they bicker over color swatches and mood boards, they find themselves fighting something else: their growing mutual attraction. While Luna is torn between family loyalty and her own feelings, Alec wonders if he might have been wrong about love and marriage all along…

“I’m jumping in the shower. Do I need to tie you up to make sure you’re still here when I get out?”

“No.” I threw myself onto the bed and stared up at the amoebic water stains on the ceiling.

“Just to be sure, I’ll take this with me, along with the keys.” He shook my wallet in his hand, shot me a wolfish grin and disappeared into the bathroom.

“How the…” I sat up and stared at my bags, completely dumbstruck at how he’d pilfered my wallet from me. He’d either taken it when I was asleep in the car, or he was magic. It was all a great mystery, as was everything else about the man.

If I thought he’d rendered me speechless with his little snatch and grab trick, it was nothing compared to my response when he exited the shower shirtless minutes later.

His dark brown waves clumped heavily with water that dripped in fat droplets down his taut chest, over the ridges of his sculpted six-pack, and soaked into the low-slung waistband of his joggers. I could almost feel his smooth skin against my tongue as I collected beads of water like a game of connect-the-dots.

I’d never been so thirsty in my entire life.

I was two seconds from sexually assaulting him when I noticed two patches of marred skin—one at the top of his left pectoral and the other slashing across his right side. Scars. Gnarly, painful-looking scars.

It was the reminder I needed that this man was an unknown. A predator in his own right. He claimed to be on my side, for now, but would that always be the case?

He would be the worst kind of enemy. Intelligent. Unpredictable. Deadly.

Within a year of self-publishing her first book, Jill Ramsower quit her job as an attorney and dedicated her days to churning out romantic adventures. She likes to think of her books as contemporary romance with a touch of fantasy—at its core, her writing is about the connection between two people. Sometimes that connection involves a little magic…

With Jill’s books, you can count on confident heroines, plenty of steamy tension, and deliciously assertive leading men. There are no guarantees in life, but with her books, you know everything will work out in the end. However, a perfect ending would not be nearly as satisfying without a seemingly insurmountable challenge. Jill loves to add plenty of adversity in her stories, creating unforgettably dynamic characters and sneaky plot twists you will never see coming.

Jill is a Texan, born and raised. She manages the hectic social calendars for her three active children and occasionally spends an evening with her dashing husband. Aside from being an author and a mom, she’s a travel junkie and loves to read when she is not lost in her own stories.

New Release ~ Do Not Disturb ~ by ~ Kristine Dugger


Title: Do Not Disturb
Author: Kristine Dugger
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 14, 2020
Cover Designer: Dani Julian
Cover Model: Shane MacKinnon
Photographer: Wander Aguiar Photography
One look. One drink. A friendly conversation between two strangers.
A divorced mother of two. A younger man married to his job.
A chance meeting at the airport.
What are the odds of them sharing a plane together?
Quite slim.
Fate had another plan for them.
All it took was one more look and their lives were changed without them knowing about it.
A weekend of fun turns into something more than just…
Leave a sign on the door, DO NOT DISTURB.


After checking into the hotel, I decided to go all out for this weekend. My friends will be in tomorrow for the wedding. Tonight, I have the penthouse suite all to myself. Well, not myself. I walk toward Lennox, he was waiting in the bar area. That rugged smirk appears across his face. I approach him, “I’m on the very top floor. 1305. Let’s go.”
I grab his hand and lead him to the elevator. When we get into the elevator, I pounce on him causing him to startle back. Our lips interlock. Our tongues start dancing. My hand reaches down to his belt buckle, I start to fiddle with it. He pulls away. My teeth clench down on his bottom lip. “Fuck, woman. Anxious much?” he groans, as I release his lip. 
I purr, “You’re all my tonight. So be ready?”
“Well, okay then,” he smirks. 
The elevator door opens up and we walk down the long, dim-light hallaway. It was like a scene from a music video. While holding his hand, I lead him down the orangish-red carpet to my room at the end. It’s been too damn long since I have been with a man. Jonathon was my last. After the divorce, my focus with my children and career. Tonight is going to be different. My focus is getting fucked while fucking his brain out. All this built up tension is about to unleash on this poor pup. Jonathon might have been the last man I fucked but that doesn’t mean I’m not shy when exploring more. I’m going to make Lennox my bitch tonight. I love that he is on board. Men, they truly think with their second head. 

 

We make it to the door. While I fiddle with my phone to get the room barcode to open the door, he wraps his strong arm around me and squeezes me, bringing me close to his body. His breath hits my neck causing my body to shiver. Then hello lips, he nibbles my neck. Goodness, I need the code asap. Finally, the barcode appears in my wallet and I open the door. Both of us dragging our luggage, we stumble into the suite. He releases me from his hold. I turn around, pushing my luggage to the floor. He stands just a few feet from the doorway. I demand, “Close the door. But first put up the sign that says ‘Do Not Disturb’.”

Blurb:

Can you keep a secret?I grew up sick.

Let me clarify.

I grew up believing that real love stories include a martyr or demand great sacrifice to be worthy.

Because of that, I believed it, because I made myself believe it, and I bred the most masochistic of romantic hearts, which resulted in my illness.

When I lived this story, my own twisted fairy tale, it was unbeknownst to me at the time because I was young and naïve. I gave into temptation and fed the beating beast, which grew thirstier with every slash, every strike, every blow.

Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets.

Secrets that cost us everything to keep.

That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to.

Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence due to my illness.



And all were punished.⁣⁣
