Raegan

Weeks after a bitter divorce, tragedy brings me back to Orlando for the foreseeable future to care for my mother and determine what direction my life should take.

When someone unlocks the back door to my mother’s house, I expect an intruder.

I never thought I’d run into Clint Ramsey like this.

After nine years, my attraction to him hasn’t faded.

He not only has a key to Mom’s house, he has a key to my heart.

It takes all my resolve to steel myself against him and the magnetic pull he’s always held over me.

Clint

When I fell in love with Raegan, I fell in love with her mom and sister, too.

The day I left her in New York City was the worst day of my life. It destroyed our future, and I’ve regretted it ever since.

With Raegan back in Orlando, I’m determined to keep my distance to protect my heart and my peace of mind. The problem is deep down; I know this is my last shot at happiness and I won’t let it slip away.

When Raegan’s safety is threatened, I must fight to protect the only woman I’ve ever loved.

When she’s not at the soccer field or cooking, you can find her at her local library, the grocery store, in her car jamming out to some tunes, or hibernating while she writes and/or reads books.

Book Tour ~ Secrets We Keep ~ by ~ L. Wilder

Title: Secrets We Keep

Series: Ruthless Sinners MC

Author: L. Wilder

Genre: MC Romance (standalone)

Release Date: January 14, 2021

Photographer: Rafagcatala Photography

Cover Model: Jorgedlrio

‘L. Wilder has done it again in this latest edition to the Ruthless Sinners MC series. This action-packed thriller will hook from the very beginning and hold you till the very end.’ ~Book Club Gone Wrong

‘An amazing ride of a read with fascinating characters that grab you and a fantastic storyline that is well written, filled with suspense, drama and steam. Loved it!’ ~Goodreads Review

Rafe:

We all have secrets.

As a Ruthless Sinner, I had more than I could count.

Club business was club business. Period.

Marlowe Davenport, the club’s new bartender, had secrets of her own.

The girl was beautiful with captivating, blue eyes that could hypnotize any man.

Hell, without even trying, she had me tied up in knots.

She’d come to Nashville to escape her past, and I was determined to claim her future.

The timing couldn’t have been worse.

There was a war on the horizon, and as those dark clouds drew closer, I would soon discover Marlowe had a part to play in it—a part she didn’t even know she had until everything she cared about was on the line.

Secrets have a way of revealing themselves when you least expect it, and when they do, they don’t give a damn about the casualties they leave in their wake.

Leslie Wilder grew up in a small town in West Tennessee. A country girl at heart, she’s always thought that life is too short, but she had no idea how short it really was until her brother passed away in 2014. She’s always been an avid reader, loving the escape only a great book can give, and wondered if she had what it took to write one of the wild romances she’d come to adore. With the support of her family and friends, she published Inferno: A Devil Chaser’s MC, one year after her brother’s death. With him in mind, she fulfilled her lifetime dream of writing. Since then, she’s completed the Devil Chaser’s Series and continued on with the Satan’s Fury MC Series. She has so many stories in her head, and can’t wait to share each and every one.

Leslie has been blown away by the support of her readers, appreciating every message, review, and encouraging word she’s received over the past year. She looks forward to continuing this journey with them for years to come.

Jude

Before training camp, I went on one last trip. Just me and the beaches of Miami without doting fans and the pressures of fame. Then I ran into Ivy, literally.

One thing led to another, and we spent a glorious week together. Then she utters the words I never wanted to hear: Just Friends.

I’m playing the best I’ve ever played, yet somehow with Ivy I keep fumbling. Our lives are worlds apart, but with each text, call, and stolen moment, my feelings for her grow. Can I keep my career and land the woman of my dreams?

Ivy

When I met Jude, I had no idea who he was to the world. He was a hot, vacation companion, nothing more. We spent one week getting to know each other, but at the end we went our separate ways as just friends.

Then he showed up back in my life. Jude Taylor, star wide receiver.

I don’t care that he’s on the TV every Sunday when I go to my parent’s house or that thousands of people worship him. I care about the man I met in Miami. I thought we could be friends, but the way he makes my heart race when the cameras are off is far from friendly. Every wink, smirk, and deep timbre of his voice makes me question why I ever wanted to be friends. Can I compromise my life plans to allow him a place by my side?

Cover Reveal ~ The Sacrifice ~ by ~ Elena Monroe

Author: Elena Monroe
Genre: Dark Forbidden Romance

Cover Design: Maria, Steamy Reads

Release Date: February 4, 2021

BLURB

KHAOS

I’m not living under any kind of false pretenses here. I know I’m basically a rapper’s attitude with R&B feelings and a pop star’s bank account.

There were a lot of ways to describe my unconventional lifestyle of part time cult member and full time showman.

Risk taker.

Exuberant.

And my personal favorite adjective: undomesticated.

I surrounded myself with people who liked a good time but left after they served their purpose of making sure I felt nothing but top shelf feelings.

I wasn’t about to be like my brothers who let the darkness eat away at their vindication. The only crime I had ever committed was waving the glory of being invited, of saying I came and conquered around like a badge of honor.

Spoiler alert: None of that earned me respect.

There’s only one girl who managed to rob me of my fake smile…and my watch.

GRACE

I was a throw away, street trash, a child abandoned and scooped up by the bad people you only hear about after they get caught.

I was hard in a way people found uncomfortable and determined too much work to rehabilitate into society again. I was found guilty over and over enough to let the bad things become who I am, blurring the lines between freedom and a jail sentence.

Fraud.

Thief.

And my least favorite: fake girlfriend to a scary ass kingpin.

Forced out of a childhood I was surrounded by darkness, evil, and the kind of cutthroat loyalty that landed your body so mutilated they wouldn’t be able to tell who you were if you fell out of obedience.

They accepted me like family and there’s no quitting your family.

I had the respect to match my rap sheet.

There’s only one guy who managed to exonerate me… and my invisible wings.

ADD TO GOODREADS

EXCERPT

I was too consumed to keep my hand going when I exhaled right along with her while I watched her features melt into a kind of bliss I chase daily.
Wasting no time Birdy got up from the bed, holding all of my attention, crawling on her hands and knees straight for me. That same burning sensation from not breathing took up the space in my chest when she kneeled down between my legs.
The same stare wasn’t breaking between us, it was like she was willing me to now come on demand. My hand moved painfully slowly, still too determined to split my focus between her and getting off.
I would choose her every time.
Her still labored voice whispered, “I wanna taste you so I know if you taste like sin or secrets.”
Swallowing the lump in my throat I held up my hand and snapped my fingers before I decided to completely fuck the rules. She was sitting there staring up at me in her post-orgasm bliss asking to taste my sins and secrets – and I’m supposed to obey my own rules? Nah, please tell me how I could have that much strength to resist.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuckkk me.

An avid readers as a child her love for all things written waned into adulthood, the excitement of real life things taking over. But when her life slowed down as she finished her office job for maternity leave her husband purchased her an ereader and that obsession was rekindled.

Quickly she went from reader to reviewer, and then from reviewer to blogger; street teams and promo tours galore. When she began collating her own book boxes over at Romance Readers Book Box UK and the opportunity to include her own words and world, the characters began talking.
