About Tempting Lies:

He’s out to prove he can do more than swing a hammer.

 

After her widowed mother rushed into a regrettable second marriage, Thea Blackwell vowed never to commit to anything. Not jobs. Not hairstyles. Not men. Yet here she is dreaming about buying a house and having it renovated by the town playboy who never spared her a second glance. Too bad she lacks both the cash and the courage.

 

Aiden Murdoch put his wild ways behind him to help his ailing father run the family construction business, but he can’t seem to escape his scandalous reputation. Then his childhood friend Thea shows him her money pit of a fixer-upper, and he stumbles on the perfect solution: he’ll provide the labor, and she’ll make him look happily domesticated in front of his father’s nervous clients.

 

What should be a simple arrangement gets complicated fast when fake kisses lead to real feelings, leaving Aiden aching to prove he’s worth a lifelong commitment and Thea wondering if her pretend boyfriend can truly give up his swipe-right lifestyle. With forever on the line, will they be brave enough to tear down the lies they’ve told each other—and themselves?

 

Tempting Lies is a witty, wild romantic comedy featuring a charismatic carpenter and the woman who loves to watch him swing his hammer. It’s a standalone romance with a happily ever after, so find your favorite breakfast nook and get reading!

Tempting Talk

Exclusive Excerpt:

The thought of losing her was too much, and with fear and adrenaline tangling in his chest, he poured it all out the only way he knew how: he lowered his head and kissed her.

Kissed her? Hell, he devoured her, biting at her lips until she opened for him, sweeping her mouth with his tongue until she squirmed in his arms. He swung her so her legs wrapped around his waist, and his hand tangled in her hair, pulling enough to tilt her chin upward.

“Don’t do that again.”

Her brown eyes blazed. “If I do, will you kiss me like that again?”

He was so far beyond the boundaries of their fake relationship agreement that he couldn’t see the line anymore. Still, he spun around so her back met the wall, using it as leverage to flatten her body against his.

“I’ll kiss you any way you want, killer,” he growled.

Goodreads Review – ❝Moseley does it again. Yet another fantastic story.❞

Kirsty Moseley has always been a passionate reader since she was a little girl, devouring books overnight, barely sleeping and paying for it at school the next day. Writing has come similarly to her and once she discovered Wattpad, she finally plucked up the courage to post one of her stories. Seven million reads later, she self-published her debut novel THE BOY WHO SNEAKS IN MY BEDROOM WINDOW, which later became one of 10 Finalists for the 2012 Goodreads’ Choice Awards, Best YA Fiction. Shocked and overwhelmed by the response, she published her second novel ALWAYS YOU a few months later and hasn’t looked back. 
If she had to sum herself up in one word, it would probably be ‘daydreamer’ – but unlike most of her school teachers, she doesn’t necessarily view that as a bad thing. After all, she read somewhere once that books are like waking dreams….
She lives in Norfolk, England with her husband and son.

New Release ~ On The Rocks ~ by ~ Elise Faber

The second I saw him I felt…everything.
On The Rocks by Elise Faber is now live!

I was a failure.

I’d grown up with two well-meaning, but also two overbearing parents, and, as the youngest of three siblings, I was the only one who wasn’t “successful.”

I worked in a bar. In. A. Bar.

Yup, that was me hearing my mother’s disappointed voice. Because everyone around me was climbing the corporate ladder or performing brain surgery. Hell, my own brother was succeeding as an actual rocket scientist. Meanwhile, I was slinging drinks and refining the art of mixing the perfect Cosmopolitan.

I didn’t know what I wanted to do—other than not being a rocket scientist—or who I wanted to be when I grew up. And if I was being honest with myself, growing up had come and gone a while ago.

I just . . . wanted to feel something.

Excitement or pleasure or even to know what it was like get my heart broken. But nothing ever happened to me. I existed in this boring bubble of life, pouring drinks most nights, reading the others away, and . . . not feeling anything.

Until I saw him.

Then I felt everything.

Dear Rose,
What I’m about to tell you will change your world forever:
You are the future’s last and only hope.
If you don’t heed my words, your destiny will be lost. I should know, I am part of it.
One moment in your timeline will shape the rest of our already messed up fortune, and I hope to god, Rose, you are willing to do whatever is necessary to prevent it from happening.
Desperation will be your enemy, it will fill your mind with despair.
Pain will be your friend, it’s the path that will lead your course.
Annihilation is what awaits us, don’t let it motivate you.
Compassion will be your doom and if it is, so it will be ours.
You have been warned; save us, Rose, we’re depending on you. Here’s hoping these words from the future will shape the fate of your past.
Will you be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice?

 

 

L.X. Deveraux loves to read and as a result she loves writing her own fantastic stories. Her passion for literature started when she realized books could make her imagination fly to unknown destinations. She is a very shy person, but she believes her true nature comes out in the stories she writes.
Being the mother of 2 very cute puppies and a psycho cat, plus being married to an unpredictable man made her think if she could survive the crazy and the cute, why not the crazy tales that plague her lovely mind?
The journey and the destination will come with a consequence: the thoroughly enjoyment of a fantastic story. Her invitation is waiting; would you dare take the chance?

Book Tour ~ Pipes Dream ~ by ~ Raven Featherwood

Title: Pipes Dream
Series: Road Warriors MC Book Three
Author: Raven Featherwood
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: September 22, 2020
 
Pipes
The MC Princess. Of course, she’d be the only woman to make my heart race, inspire my songs, and make me dream of an impossible future. Oh well, she is off-limits, even thinking of her and the dirty things I’d like to do to her are grounds for a beat down, or worse, losing my family – my brothers. 
The first time we met, Trinity was just a girl. Beautiful, precocious, and so full of herself I knew she was destined for better than a biker. So, we became friends, and that was enough. That is until her prom.  One stinking kiss, one time letting my feelings show, and I ruined it. Now, I watch her from a distance, no longer friends, no longer anything but an observer.
Don’t misunderstand, my life is good; my band is doing great, groupies are everywhere, and when at the club, well, let’s just say the sweet butts never deny me anything. Hell, I have the dubious title of man-whore extraordinaire. So, why is it I can’t get that golden-haired beauty off of my mind? 
 
Trinity
F’in man-whore! I thought he was my best friend, boy was I wrong. Dropped me like a hot potato the minute he kissed me. What a kiss too! Knocked my socks off. Must have been a total turn off for him though since right after that he stopped hanging around with me and he told my brother he was through babysitting! Jerk!
Worse than knowing I can’t compete with the sweet butts is knowing that the brothers know I care for the damn man, and he doesn’t give a shit about me. Talk about embarrassing. I wish I was anywhere but here. Seeing him with all those women, knowing they all get what I want.
What the hell is wrong with me anyhow? I may not be as curvy as the sweet butts, but I’m good looking, have all the right parts in the right places. Just because my grandpa was the original Pres, and my Uncle is the Pres now, I don’t give a shit about that stupid Princess title. I’m a woman! And if I’m not good enough for Pipes, well to hell with him. I like the biker life, I love the RWMC. Guess I’ll just have to find another Chapter, with Men that are not afraid of my Uncle and Dad. I need a future, in the RWMC, away from Pipes. I future where there are men that see ME, not my parents, and a man that sees me as good enough.
 
Leaving Las Vegas, the only way to stay in the RWMC – without seeing Pipes. Doesn’t seem fair, I have to leave home, my home. But that is just the way it is. If I want to stay with the club anyway. So, goodbye Vegas, let’s see where my future lies.

New Release ~ Not Just Friends ~ by ~ T. Gephart

Not Just Friends by T. Gephart is now live!

A little harmless flirting never hurt anyone.

Jared Leighton

Presley, I screwed up, I’m sorry. You were vulnerable and I was supposed to be the good guy. Last thing I ever wanted to do was betray your trust, or worse, hurt you. I should never have even kissed you, let alone . . . yeah, well we both know how that ended. You’re my best friend’s sister for Christ’s sake, what was I even thinking? Clearly, I wasn’t. I’m so mad at myself, I want to break my own legs, save Tibbs the trouble. So yeah, I know this isn’t much of an apology, but I needed to make sure you’re okay. Let me know things are still cool between us or at least, what I can do to make it up to you. And it’s probably for the best if we keep this between just us. I swear on my mother, I’ll never touch you again.

Presley Tibbs

Leighton, not sure who you thought you were with last night, but it wasn’t some vulnerable little girl who needs protecting. I assumed that was pretty clear when I took you to MY bed. Don’t pretend that last night wasn’t exactly what we both wanted. We’ve been flirting with each other for years, and I finally got tired of playing games. As for my brother, he doesn’t and will never have a say in who I invite into my life or body—not his business. But if you’re scared that’s your hang up not mine. So save your apology, and your good intentions, and don’t treat me like I’m a woman who didn’t know what she was doing. Oh, and tell your mother I said hi.

Meet T.

T Gephart is a USA Today and International bestselling author from Melbourne, Australia.

With an approach to life that is somewhat unconventional, she prefers to fly by the seat of her pants rather than adhere to some rigid roadmap. Her lack of “plan” has resulted in a rather interesting and eclectic resume, which reads more like the fiction she writes than an actual employment history. She’d tell you all about it, but the statute of limitations hasn’t expired yet. But all those crazy twists and turns have led her to a career she loves–writing romantic comedy.

When she isn’t filling pages with sassy and sexy characters with attitude, she’s living her own reality show in the ‘burbs of Melbourne with her American husband, two teenage children, and her fur child–Woodley.

She loves adventure, to laugh, travel, and strives to live her life to the fullest.

EXCERPT

 

“Last time I saw you, we didn’t leave it on the best terms…” 

 

“A bit of an understatement, I’d say.”
“Yeah well. Someone told me that the best part about fighting was the makeup sex.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah. But we don’t do that.”
“No, we don’t.” Although right now I was second guessing why the hell not. He was fucking adorable when he was nervous, and it wasn’t a side of him I saw very often.
“But I didn’t think you should miss out, so…yeah. Batteries.”
It took a second but then it hit me like a freight train. “You bought me batteries for my vibrator?”
I laughed.
I laughed so hard I snorted. And possibly peed a little bit.
“It was dumb…”
“It’s fucking genius.”
