The saga continues in this steamy sequel to Passion’s Liberation, as Simran and Marcus fight their personal issues to fulfill their all-consuming love.

Simran Khan faces an enormous crossroads. Her independent New York life is upended by her family’s expectation to drop everything, be the good Indian daughter, and return to India to placate her demanding father. Adding to her turmoil is that the one man who broke her heart is back in town … for her. She leaves for India to sort out her family business, regardless of her heart’s desires.

Marcus Lehigh is well aware he nearly destroyed the only good thing in his life. A man unaccustomed to love, his feelings for Simran left insecurities that shook him to the core. He let her go, convinced it was best for them both. He was mistaken. If anything, she takes up his entire heart now.

As the clock ticks, and before Simran satisfies her father’s demands to marry the man he’s chosen for her, Marc faces his own immense decision. Does loving someone mean letting them choose their own path? Or can a determined person like him really leave a challenge untouched, especially when it involves the woman he loves?

A race to India to express his true feelings, and right the wrongs he’s committed, will be the deciding factor. Will love liberate them toward true happiness?

Meet The Author:

Khushi T. Saha currently lives in the U.S, having been lucky enough to live on both coasts in her life. As a first generation South Asian, she has a foot in the US and another back on the Asian continent. An empath at heart, and a knack for spinning tales (something she inherited from a beloved great-aunt), she takes what she knows and weaves them into works of fiction. Naturally a believer in love, her work has turned into romances. She hopes that other South Asian Americans can relate to her stories and the Asian American experience, and of course, that romantics all around enjoy her novels.

I went to refill my hand with water and accidentally tipped the bottle more than was needed, splashing myself with the contents. I yipped and jerked back as if I could escape my own hands, and Fen barked out a laugh. The sound was beyond incredible. A laugh from him felt like liquid sunshine raining down from the sky, warming every inch of me. Wanting to keep the playful mood going, I grinned at him. “You thought that was funny, did you?” I raised a brow and pursed my lips together before sloshing the water bottle in his direction and sending a spray of water across his chest. I was to a point where I was infinitely more comfortable around Fen, but we hadn’t known each other all that long. For a split second, time came to a stop, and I questioned if I had overstepped my bounds. That was until he tucked his chin with a devious grin and sprang in my direction. I dropped the bottle and bolted with a shriek. “It was an accident! A hand spasm!” I hollered behind me as I tore back down the path. “Cat, why do I not believe you?” Right on my tail, Fen grabbed for my hand. My momentum swung around to bring me flush against his chest, his hands binding mine snuggly at my back. With heavy breaths, our gazes locked, and the world around us melted away. His heated stare dropped down to my parted lips. Desire like I’ve never experienced snaked and coiled its way from my center to every tiny nerve ending until my body was alight with sensation. Adjusting to this foreign ache inside me, my back arched, pressing me further against his hard chest. Fen’s every muscle was rigid with restraint, but when I arched and wriggled, the last thread of his control snapped. His hands clutched me tighter, one finding its way into my curls. He angled my head to give him access to my neck. Only the weakest puffs of air managed to pass through my constricted lungs as his lips lowered to the delicate skin of my throat. “It has been … so long, Cat. So long since I have touched a woman.” His words ghosted across my skin. “I only have so much restraint within me.” I licked my now parched lips, straining to think through my lusty haze. “Is there a reason to restrain yourself?” He pulled back, his eyes tracking mine, almost pleadingly. “There is every reason, yet none seem sufficient.” I couldn’t help myself. I didn’t care why he seemed to be begging me to stop him. I needed his lips on mine like I needed my next breath. I wanted Fen to be the very air I breathed. Tossing aside his wordless plea, I lifted onto my toes and brought our lips together in a tentative kiss. Fenodree held perfectly still, chiseled in stone. I began to question if he’d respond to my advance until I made one last effort and trailed my tongue along his full bottom lip, desperate to taste him. The contact drew forth a savage groan from deep in his chest before his lips crashed down on mine. I’d never felt more desired in my entire life. Not just desired. Owned. As though my body was his to command in a way I’d never known was possible. Invisible strings bound us together, tightly woven and impossible to ignore. Even our hearts pounded with the same punishing rhythm.

Cover Reveal ~ Big Duke Energy ~ by ~ Emma Hart

Big Duke Energy, an all-new enemies to lovers romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Emma Hart will be here June 21st, and we have the gorgeous cover!

When bestselling romance author Ellie Aarons finds herself with chronic writer’s block, she’s pretty sure all she needs is a change of scenery. A beautiful lakeside cottage with her cat seems like a good idea. She’s wrong. She needs more than a change of scenery—she needs a muse. Which is why it’s so irritating that she’s drawn to the enigmatic but grumpy Duke of Windermere who owns the estate she’s staying on. They don’t get along—not in the slightest. They could not be more different, which is why it’s so irritating that Max seems to be the muse she’s been looking for. No matter how hard she tries, she can’t help but picture him as the hero in her next book. Oh, well. There’s really not a lot she can do about it. The muse wants what the muse wants. Except Sir Winston Purrchill keeps exploring the goat barn, and Max’s delivery of him for the fiftieth time means he sees her manuscript open on her laptop. He knows instantly that she’s writing about him. The story she’s written reflects their entire relationship until now, but that spicy scene? That hasn’t happened. Yet. Max is ready to compromise—he’ll give her the inspiration she needs for her novel, but she has to stop asking why he’s so against the relationship his grandmother desperately wants him to have. With her deadline looming, Ellie has no other option but to agree. She just hopes that she won’t do what her heroine is doing. And fall in love with the duke.

Big Duke Energy will be a live release and free in Kindle Unlimited!

“Take a shower,” he says. I’m almost tempted to salute him. But I don’t, because a long, hot shower really does sound good. I nod and thank him politely and tell him I won’t be long. “I ordered pizza. It’ll be here in fifteen minutes.” Oh, god yes. If I thought a shower sounded tempting, pizza sounds even better. “Thank you. I’m starving. The cotton candy is the only thing I’ve eaten all day. You must be hungry too, thank you for waiting for –” “I’ve already eaten,” he says quickly. “You’ll be eating alone. I have some rules we need to discuss before tomorrow morning. I’m tired, so don’t be long. I’ll meet you in the kitchen.” Oh. Why am I so disappointed? “I won’t.” Elliot makes a kind of grunting sound and then walks away. Jesus Christ, this man.
