Max Horton

They call me an outcast like it’s a bad thing.

An asshole byproduct of a shitty upbringing. I don’t care about anything except myself and my little sister.

I will always protect what’s mine.

With one year left on my hockey contract I’m keeping my head down and my eyes on the goal.

A collision, with her, changes my entire existence.

Allison Grant

Never fall in love with a sports star. That’s what my stepfather always said. He told me athletes are complicated and moody—that the higher their paycheck, the lower their morals.

As public relations for the New York Stingers I know exactly what he means, but I can’t seem to say no to a friendship with one beautiful, damaged man.

What started out as hate turned into something else.

We tried to stay away, to keep our distance, but the pull was too strong.

Something forbidden turned into something so irresistible.

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…

His lips told me he knew me.

His hands touched like old lovers.

His eyes held secrets of a past I’d never known.

I was lost you see.

Lost as the flowers that grew in the meadow.

The devil told me he knew me.

But lies had a way of unraveling, even if we didn’t want them to.

The devil had a trick, for his love was full of acid. Acid that burnt at every touch, every linger, and I let it burn all the way to my core.

A devil made you sin. And my devil was the worst.

But now that devil wanted my last kiss, and it wasn’t one I was willing to give.

He could take the acid and leave the burn behind.

I was keeping my heart, even if I died trying.

ALL PLATFORMS

“Mouse…”

I take his moment of silence, and slip myself out from his grasp while putting much-needed distance between us.

“You’ll end up hating me, I’ll end up resenting you…” I shake my head and step back again.

“I wouldn’t.”

“You would! You had to be forced into it. It took me almost dying more than once for you to choose me. That isn’t healthy, none of this is. We aren’t good for each other. We’ll keep on burning until there’s nothing left.” Stepping back again, I’m not clear where my car is, but I know it’s not far from here.

“We need to stop, Mouse. I’m ceasing the ellipses. No more pauses or question marks for me. Now it will just be full stops.”

I want to smile at his editor’s metaphor.

I want to ravish in it.

I know better, though.

“I’m full stopping it, Wolf! Before I fall deeper down a rabbit hole where I cannot escape.”

“I’ll chase you, Mouse, right down that rabbit hole.”

Turning, so I’m walking away, I look back only once.

“I hope you catch me, I really do. But this time you may not.”

Cover Reveal ~ The Island: Vampires of Merovingi 1 ~ by ~ Sarah M. Cradit

Title: The Island: Vampires of the Merovingi #1

Author: Sarah M. Cradit

Genre: Historical Fantasy Horror

Release Date: March 12, 2018

From the USA Today bestselling fantasy author of the House of Crimson & Clover novels comes a chilling new historical fantasy series, Vampires of the Merovingi. Ancient lore, a vidid historical backdrop, and elusive, tantalizing mythical creatures await readers as they dive into the secretive, ancient, powerful world of The Saga of Crimson & Clover.

1789. Saint-Domingue. Hispaniola. West Indies.

Etienne de Blanchefort has seen incredible success as a colonial planter in the Northern Province of Saint-Domingue. Though uprooting his family from France a decade past was a gamble, life in the tropical West Indies has been good to him, his wife, and four children. With France embroiled in their great revolution across the Atlantic, he harbors little doubt he made the right decision for his family’s future.

Until, that is, the arrival of his fiend.

Etienne’s practical nature cannot reconcile what he knows to be true of his world with what he cannot ignore about the abominable creature haunting his family and the island.

Nor can he ignore his wife’s terrifying dreams that slowly steal her vitality.

Or Victorine’s burgeoning free spirit and wariness of their way of life.

Or Nanette’s curious, furtive behavior as she hides in trees.

Or Marius’ secret new friendship with one he cannot name.

Or Flosine’s unsettling drawings of a man from a time long before theirs.

Etienne’s fiend will not stay elusive for long. He has a request. A very particular, very important request, one that will change the lives of Etienne, his family, and his descendants forever.

Sarah is the USA Today bestselling author of the Paranormal Southern Gothic series, The House of Crimson & Clover, born of her combined passion for New Orleans, and the mysterious complexity of human nature. Her work has been described as rich, emotive, and highly dimensional.

An unabashed geek, Sarah enjoys studying obscure subjects like the Plantagenet and Ptolemaic dynasties, and settling debates on provocative Tolkien topics such as why the Great Eagles are not Gandalf’s personal taxi service. Passionate about travel, Sarah has visited over twenty countries collecting sparks of inspiration (though New Orleans is where her heart rests). She’s a self-professed expert at crafting original songs to sing to her very patient pets, and a seasoned professional at finding ways to humiliate herself (bonus points if it happens in public). When at home in Oregon, her husband and best friend, James, is very kind about indulging her love of fast German cars and expensive lattes.

Nanette rested the quill in the spine of the book, and chanced a recline back into the trunk of the massive pine. The world below her was exotic and charged with briny energy, but up here it was whatever she wished it to be. She could imagine herself a pirate sailing for Île de la Tortue or Port Royal, or a comtesse on retreat from Paris. Adelphe had taught her little about the wide world around them, but Nanette could not be stopped from slipping into her father’s study and delving into his own collection of rare and expensive books.

Books were only words, but words had power. Nanette, on the eve of thirteen, did not yet understand the nature of that power, only that she was entirely under its sway.

Her knowledge of the world was not limited to what she read. Childeric entranced her with tales of kings and bloodlines not ever recorded. Of the hundreds upon thousands of different tongues and dialects. Of golden chalices and wealth beyond even her imagination.

In the beginning, Nanette wrongly assumed the companionship of Childeric was hers alone. Soon enough, Marius begun babbling of a dark-haired prince who helped him tell afternoon tales with his puppets. Shortly after, Flosine began drawing crude scribbles of the same man, standing on their cliff overlooking the sea. This last cut the deepest, as Nanette had first spotted him in the same manner. She’d claimed him as hers in that very moment.

Only Victorine seemed immune to Childeric’s attentions.

Her maman and papa had also been affected by their new uninvited guest, though neither addressed it except through oddness in their behavior. Maman, not sleeping. Papa, taken to jitters and paranoia. Nanette wanted to tell them Childeric was their friend, but was afraid of being whipped for speaking out of turn.

More, she feared they would see the lie in her eyes. She could not tell of Childeric’s friendship without also repeating his warnings. I am the path to the future of the de Blanchefort dynasty. Follow me, and your world will bloom in ways unimaginable to you now. Turn away, and await your own peril.

His words frightened her. There was nothing playful or adventurous in them, as all their other conversations had been. From then on, she feared the moment he might return and repeat them, or offer further elaboration.

Remembering all this in a huff, Nanette swung her left leg up and accidentally jostled the branch holding her precious ink. With a sharp cry, her gaze traveled toward the ground and the inevitable loss of her only outlet.

She was shocked to see Childeric holding the bottle upright in his right palm, his left outstretched to her.

“You must be more cautious, mon cher,” he chastised. His alabaster flesh reflected the bold green of his tunic, and he seemed preternatural to her; a figment of her dreams.

“I am grateful,” Nanette replied with a hasty breath, gathering her leg and skirt to one side to avoid an unseemly disaster. His hand remained high in the air, an invitation.

She had climbed up with the help of several branches, hitching her skirts to avoid a snag. Going down would be even less ladylike, and she had counted on being alone. Childeric settled her ink down on a nearby flat stretch of dirt and returned with both arms wide.

Nanette set her lips in a tight line, unwittingly resembling her mother in that moment. She saw no other choice. He was not leaving, and she could not be seen flashing her undergarments in the presence of a man. Unchaperoned, no less. With a fearful glance around the grounds, she pulled in a breath and dropped into his arms. His embrace was solid, but brief. He backed away before the blush could fully form in her cheeks.

She had never before been so close to him. Now, she could see his eyes were the brilliant violet hues of indigo dye, and his skin was lineless, devoid of the markings of the age and experience someone of his words bespoke.

“Has no one discovered your love of trees?” Childeric teased, his blood-red lips forming a smile that paused her heart.

Nanette shook her head. “I must return to the house.”

“Must you?”

Her head pulled to the side, startled by the impudence in his question.

“Your secret will not ever leave my lips,” Childeric said when she found herself unable to form a reply. “As you have kept mine, I shall keep yours.”

Nanette swallowed a lump in her throat. “You’re mistaken. You’ve bade me keep no secret of yours.”

Childeric paced a circle around her, his steps nimble. “So, you have told your maman and papa of the strange man who visits you and tells you tales?”

“I have not!” Nanette exclaimed, indignant, realizing in the moment his point. Her expression turned cross. “Yet, as I am not the only one you visit, it is not such a secret after all.”

“Marius and Flosine know no better. They see me through the visage of a child. Not you, Nanette. Yours is the age of discernment.”

“It is?”

“They have not yet developed a healthy fear of the world. They trust without thought, and move through life with an artless grace. They do not yet understand the consequence that can follow a decision, a split-second choice.”

“They’re seven and five,” Nanette offered, frozen in spot.

Childeric swept one arm of his brilliant emerald tunic toward the Caribbean. Chartreuse waves lapped at the shore, cresting against the crag. “You stand at the cliffs and innately accept that to fall is to invoke injury. Even death. Yet at the bottom also lies a world unknown to you. You see, in your dreams, that I am the cliff. You have not yet decided where I lead.”

The abruptly adult turn the conversation took left Nanette unwittingly stumbling back up the grassy cliff side. The temptation to continue this palaver was stronger than she’d like to admit, for admitting it would be to embrace her maman’s claim she was nearing her journey as a woman. Her fear of being caught without a chaperone outmaneuvered all other competing emotions.

Her eyes moved toward the ink, standing behind Childeric. To reach it, she would need to either cut a wide berth or brush directly past him. His smile broadened, as if he could see through to the darkest thoughts in her heart. As if he enjoyed them.

“Here you are, mon cher.” Childeric’s outstretched palm held the pot of ink. She’d not even seen him move to reach for it. She couldn’t fathom how he’d done it so quickly. She didn’t want to. “Not a drop spilt.”

Eyes averted, Nanette swiped the pot and murmured her gratitude before whirling and fleeing back over the arc of the cliffs, toward the safety of the house, sensing his indigo eyes burning word-shaped cuts into the soft flesh of her back.

My first job with the Cerberus MC was to grab a girl from a seedy bar. Easy money, right?

The moment I realized the blonde I was hunting wasn’t around, I ended up captivated by a redhead dancing on the stage. With her striking features and sinful body, I knew she was trouble, but that didn’t stop me from making her mine that night.

When I learned that she WAS the job, everything became clouded.

I was only looking for a one night stand, but when the dust settled and she ran, my only desire was to chase her.

Should I risk my job, and quite possibly my life, in order to have her? Would she even stay if I caught her?

Blurb

When it comes to women, I know what they want. And all day long, I give
it to them. Dark, broody, and sexy? You got it. Need to laugh? I’m your guy.
Desperate for something to put you in the mood? You’ve come to the right place,
kitten.

Every morning when my library opens, there’s a line around the block,
the ladies flocking to me in need of their next book boyfriend. I’m that dude.
The one who knows his way around the romance section. And if you think that
hasn’t gotten me plenty of action over the years, you’d be wrong.

But I’ve made a few miscalculations, and now my reputation has my job
in danger. If I can’t prove to my boss that I’m more than a playboy who
recommends romance in the hopes of getting some hanky panky in the stacks, I
can kiss my job goodbye.

Stud in the Stacks is a sexy, hilarious, sometimes
embarrassing romantic comedy told in both points of view, complete with tacos, romance novel love, and unicorn parties with no cheating or cliffhangers.

Excerpt

Even though it’s been six years since I stripped for a roomful of women, I’m pleased to report my loincloth still fits in all the right places. Tad more snug in front than I remember, but if I had to grow, might as well be in the junk.

I give the elastic one last test as the producer signals that I’m up. Spider-Man gives me a fist bump. Thor smacks my ass. They’re the last two bachelors going up on the block after me in tonight’s superhero-themed auction.

There are some who might say Tarzan isn’t a superhero, but
Jane would beg to differ. And I fucking own this costume.

Plus, if no one else bids on me, my Nana’s right up front,
ready to throw down the hundred bucks I slipped her before the show.

I’m hoping for a little higher than that though. Batman just
went for a cool five grand.

Batman was a dick, which I assume my Nana didn’t know when
she started the bidding on him. A grade-A, condescending asshat who thought
just because he had a few million bucks in the bank, he could call people gay
like that’s an insult and take a metaphorical shit on my favorite books.

I fucking want to beat Batman.

Cover Reveal ~ Free Fall ~ by ~ Emily Goodwin

Title: Free Fall

Author: Emily Goodwin

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 1^st

About Free Fall:

I’ll never forget the first time I saw Nora Fisher. The way my heart sped up in my chest and blood rushed through every part of me. I was drawn to her the moment our eyes met.

She was beautiful.

Guarded.
Damaged.
Just like me.

I never meant to hurt the only woman I’ve ever loved. She was light, and I was dark, casting shadows on everything around me. Letting her go meant spiraling back into the darkness only Nora could pull me from. But I’d sacrifice myself a thousand times for her.

Four years later, she’s back, and the passion she ignites makes the fight for her stronger. But the more I try to make things right, the more I realize how complicated things have become.

And now I’m starting to see that maybe her light was never meant to be mine.

Free Fall is a standalone, contemporary romance.

Add on Goodreads

Exclusive Excerpt:

The craving to feel her against me is dark and consuming. Yes, I’m aware of everything around us, but I don’t care. I want to feel again. I want to be with someone who doesn’t look at me and see blood and pain.

I want her.

Her hand settles on my side, fingers slipping under the hem of my shirt. Gently, she brushes a fingertip over my scar, and my skin bristles. Heat goes through me, driving me to act and not think. I lean forward, lips parting.

I’m going to kiss her.

I don’t care who sees.

I don’t care if it’s wrong.

Nora tips her head up, and her nails dig into my skin.

And then a car in the parking lot backfires, the loud pop echoing off the mountains. Suddenly, I’m there.

The smell always gets me first. I can be perfectly calm, not thinking about it at all, and it hits me as hard as the bullet did when it ripped through my flesh on my side. It’s not real. I’m not there, yet I can smell it like I’m standing in the thick of it all over again.

Gun powder.

Blood.

I hear it next. The rapid firing of a gun. Screams. More shots. My own voice, ringing out over the harrowing hail of gunfire.

Then I see it, and when I get to that point, I’m gone. The blood. The bodies. The look in Jason’s eyes. The way his body fell after the final bullet tore through him.

“Jack?” Nora’s voice is distant. She’s sitting right next to me, yet it sounds like we’re separated by a thick door. “Hey, Jack. Can you hear me?” Her hands go to mine. I blink, forcing my eyes to focus on her face.

There are no guns firing. There is no blood around me. I’m not pulling the trigger and watching the bullet hit my best friend.

“Jack?” Nora moves her hand to my face, turning my head in. “Are you okay?”

I blink away the living nightmare and focus on the deep green of her eyes. I twist my hand, and lace my fingers through hers, and the panic starts to fade, just like it did last night.

“No,” I whisper, and for the first time in over a year, tell the truth.

Her jaw tenses and she closes the distance between us, sliding her hand down my back as she leans in. I wrap her in a tight embrace, burying my face in her hair.

“It’s okay,” she whispers, and she doesn’t have to continue for me to know what she means. She’s not telling me that I’ll be okay, that life will somehow click together and be okay. She’s telling me it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to admit it. And it’s okay to have someone to lean on.

“Yeah,” I whisper back, feeling it for the first time since that god-awful day. “I think it will be.”
