About Fairytale Wrath:

They say all men are monsters…

Money means power and power gives your skeletons a taste for retribution

They came for me

Suffocating me, dragging me to my knees

Using my past and my future as a double weapon against me

…I’m not a monster…

Lily Carter envisioned a beautiful fairy tale

But perfect is an illusion

And so, a veil of nightmares stood between us and our happy ending

Leading the dormant beast inside my head to awaken after all

But I will protect what’s mine…

Exclusive Excerpt:

I took a few steps towards her, trapping her body against the kitchen counter. “Lily,” I said, thumbing her cheek, drinking in every feature of her face. I wanted to remember everything about her despite my boiling anger. “Me being angry doesn’t mean I don’t love you… I understand why you did what you did, but it doesn’t lessen the resentment.”

She nodded, a single tear falling down her beautiful face. God, she was pretty, a beautiful work of art. Perfectly extraordinary. I didn’t want to make her cry, I didn’t want to be the reason for her pain. Yet, for once, I had to acknowledge my own before catering to someone else’s feelings.

She lifted up on her toes and pressed a soft kiss over my mouth. It was the kind of kiss I wanted to memorize by heart because I didn’t know when I would get another. Not with our situation. So instead I returned the lip-lock, pushing my body against hers, knowing I wasn’t being fair to either of us.

Her kiss was shy and timid, like she was letting me dictate and see where things were headed next. My cock was telling me to shut up and bring her to my bed while my brain told me to take a breather, to think things through.

I allowed myself to kiss her a few more seconds, my thumb and forefinger clutching her chin before I let go.

Can enemies turn into lovers over the course of a week?

Maddie
When I decided to attend my high school reunion, I knew I’d run the risk of running into Jack Carter. Mr. Big Time Country Music Star. The same guy that broke my heart in high school. What I didn’t expect was that the resort would mess up our reservations, and we’d end up roommates.

Now I’m stuck sharing a cabin with him for the next week, and I don’t know whether I want to kill him or kiss him.

Jack
What are the odds I would end up sharing a cabin with my ex-high school sweetheart, Maddie Grace? The woman was a sweet tomboy back then, now she’s a knockout, uptight lawyer, who loves to argue. Even though we fight like cats and dogs, I’m feeling that familiar old spark and the more time I spend with her, the more I’m beginning to think letting her go was my biggest mistake.

Thanks to a little mix-up at the resort, I’ve now got a week to prove to her that we belong together and you can bet I’m going to give it my best shot.

Escape to the romantic paradise of Holiday Springs and warm up with your next happily ever after.

Excerpt

To my surprise, Jack walked into the kitchen with a towel slung low on his hips and opened up the refrigerator. Leaning on the door, he peered inside. I was trying to keep my gaze on the documents in front of me, but I kept looking up to check out his ass in that towel. Part of me kept hoping it would accidentally fall off. Of course, now I found myself pissed off that, once again, I was having impure thoughts about Jack. I slammed my pen onto the table. “Why are you practically naked?”

Slowly, he closed the refrigerator door and turned to address me.

Damn. Maybe I should have kept quiet. All his sexy goodness was on display for me to see. For a millisecond, I faltered and nearly forgot why I was upset.

“You’re not the only one here, you know. We have to share this place…” My tongue darted out and licked my suddenly dry bottom lip. Was his chest and six-pack abs glistening in the light coming from the window, or was I imagining things? Stop. “You can’t just walk around here half dressed. What if someone showed up?”

“Are you expecting someone?” He wore an amused expression while he asked the question.

I crossed my arms over my chest. “No… but that doesn’t matter. Put on a shirt.” Why was he so infuriating?

“How would you like it if I pranced around here in my bra…” That had been the wrong thing to say. “Or panties… or nothing at all.” I lost steam when I realized the picture I was painting. Being pissed and horny clearly was a bad combination. I wasn’t thinking right.

“I don’t see a problem.” He gave me a lecherous grin that exposed his teeth and revealed his want.

“Just have some consideration and stop being selfish.” I hurled at him.

That order quickly erased any goodwill he was feeling towards me. His look was thunderous.

“I’m getting real tired of you making me out to be the bad guy here.” He gripped the back of one of the kitchen chairs until his knuckles turned white.

“You’re asking me to have some consideration?”

The incredulous scowl he wore caused his eyebrows to rise to his hairline. “You’re right, Maddie. We are sharing this house. You’d do well to remember that when you crank the heat up to freaking eighty degrees. How about that for consideration? Not all of us want to walk around in a sauna.”

He threw his hands up. “It’s so damn hot in here, what am I supposed to wear? I’ll sweat to death. So unless you’re going to compromise on the temperature I’m going to wear whatever I damn well please around here, even if that means I walk around here naked.”

I swallowed at the thought of him walking around the cabin naked. Other parts of my anatomy that I didn’t care to acknowledge quivered at the thought. Angrily, I stood. “Don’t threaten me. It always has to be your way.”

Before I knew it, we were yelling over top of each other, trying to be heard. A few minutes later, Jack put his thumb and forefinger in his mouth and whistled, bringing the yelling match to its end. I was so agitated my breathing was erratic. Seconds passed, where we stood glowering at each other like two junkyard dogs that had squared off, but there wasn’t a victor.

Jack’s shoulders slumped and the fight drained away in front of my eyes. He stared at me, but no longer was his look filled with outrage.

“It’s been ten years, Maddie. You gonna stay mad at me forever?” His voice was weary, tired, and bordered on sad.

New Release ~ Betrayed ~ by ~ Jacklyn Daher

♦ ♦ ♦

”Betrayal is like a snake; either it slithers and blindsides you, or the attack will be so swift, you’ll be struck before you could blink. Either way, prepare to suffer.” With the revelation Luxor Everstone is the daughter of the Prince of Darkness, an entirely new door fraught with danger is opened. As Cane lays in wait, Luxor is forced to have constant protection, leaving her suffocated. When new help arrives in the form of a witch, and a mysterious and dreamy boy who seems to soothe her more than anyone else can, she doesn’t hesitate to invite them into her life despite her growing affection for Hunter. As fresh dangers loom on the horizon, she begins to unravel different details about her past, while greater powers are introduced, and the others continue to evolve. Conflicted between the pull toward her darkness and her desire to be good, Luxor juggles the priorities—and her opinionated guardians—while trying to find some semblance of balance. When the darkness returns to claim her completely, can she trust herself to make the right choice?

A clap of thunder rumbled, followed by a flash of violet lightening illuminating through the window. Lured by the serenity, spittle’s of rain fell, and she fled to the middle of the Village Bowl. She tilted her head sky-ward and coaxed the downpour, to drench all her worries away, and burden them on those worthy of her wrath; Ayla, Evie, Hunter. The heaviness weighed heavily on her shoulders, and she was sick of being in the middle and on the receiving end of drama. She waved her arms about and gritted her teeth. Another strike of thunder zig-zagged the air and she seized the control. Violet clouds materialised and spread until they transformed into an opaque mist. The air whispered, and swayed like a lullaby. The further in it came, the more it blotted out the entire expanse until a violet curtain was all that existed. A buzz vibrated, and she swayed momentarily as her body was shaken. “Angel.” A boy’s voice called out.

I was never a beloved daughter. Only a prized possession to be kept in a gilded cage until my father was ready to trade.

It was my duty, carved in stone and written in my blood that one day my virtue would be exchanged for an alliance. And now, that day has come.

Gian Silvestro, heir to the Silvestro empire, will accept me as his wife and seal my fate with a kiss that holds a thousand promises. But to him, our vows only mean one thing…

I am bound to him…and shackled to his hate.

He eased the back of his hand down the side of my face, his gaze following the movement. “I bet daddy-dearest made sure no man has ever touched you. The purer they are, the more they are worth.”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“It’s the truth.” He kept staring at the side of my face as he brushed the curls behind my ear. “If you weren’t still a virgin, your father wouldn’t have had a lot of options to pick from. He would have had to take whatever he could get,” he shrugged, “which wouldn’t have been much if your virtue wasn’t still intact.”

“Why are you doing this?” I lifted my chin. “You’ve made it abundantly clear that you hate me, that you can’t stand me, yet this is the second time you have me pinned against a wall like a starved animal.”

“I do hate you.”

“Then what the hell are you doing right now?”

His hand dropped to my waist, fire erupting in my belly. “Maybe,” he started as he slowly wound up the skirt of my nightgown between his fingers, “maybe I’ve decided that the best way to piss off Emilio Moretti is to ruin his daughter.”

I scoffed. “Do you think my father gives a damn what you do to me?”

“No.” His fingers touched my thigh as he bunched up the silk. “Perhaps I just want to break you for my own amusement.”

“I don’t break easily.”

A single finger snaked inside my panties, and I sucked in a breath. “There’s more than one way to break a woman.”

Release Date: November 17, 2020

I never thought I’d be divorced and a single mother before I turned thirty. But life had other plans.

I was content with my life. Being a mom to Jaxon, working as a legal assistant, and hanging out with my best friend.

Then I met Dane Thompson.

Lead singer of Blanked Edge and my new neighbor.

The man looks way too delicious in those tight shirts and baggy jeans, with eyes that seem to sear into my very soul.

And when my apartment floods and he asks us to move in for a few days, I find myself saying yes.

Is it a good idea?

Probably not.

Do I do it anyway regardless of the way he makes me squirm with just a look?

Of course.

Nothing at all can go wrong….right?

BLURB

To say I survived the unimaginable isn’t exactly accurate, because I didn’t.

I’m alive.

But I’m not living.

I’m existing, clawing my way from one day to the next.

My only saving grace is my job as a police officer, and it’s during a routine traffic stop one evening when the threads of my isolated existence begin to unravel.

One glance from Quinn Harris and I feel like I’m dreaming. And the more chance brings us together, the more I’m powerless to stop the uneasy feeling that I’m losing control.

She stirs up thoughts of something new and unexpected—of a life I’m no longer prepared to handle.

***

I’m done with men.

I trusted my ex and he broke my heart.

But life doesn’t seem to want to follow my plan, which is evident the moment I meet Nolan Bennett.

He doesn’t score high on first impressions. In fact, he is downright rude.

But as we continue to run into each other, I start to see another side of him, and I can’t deny I’m intrigued.

Against my better judgment, I give him a chance.

But again, life will step in and take over.

Only this time I don’t think either of us will survive. Not with an unknown link between us too painful to overcome.

EXCERPT

Beautiful weather used to enhance my good moods in the past, but seeing the sun shining brightly, high in the sky, and feeling the warm breeze on the side of my face as I drove only seemed to aggravate me. On the days when it was dark and gloomy, I felt harmony because my surroundings were reflective of the turmoil I constantly battled. I was more at peace when the world appeared desolate.

When I finally arrived at the address, I took a moment before I exited my cruiser, calling on whatever hierarchy there was in the universe to give me the strength to complete my task. It’d gotten easier over time to deal with the public, but I still struggled with the interactions, although no one ever detected such a thing. Most just categorized me as an asshole, and I was fine with the assessment.

Opening my door, I slid out of my seat and adjusted my duty belt as I rounded the back of the vehicle, flipping on my shades to shield my eyes from the blinding sun. Up ahead, I saw a woman standing in the archway of the complex. If she was aware of my presence, she didn’t show it, so I took the time to assess her, as I did everyone I came into contact with.

She was thin, approximately five-six with long dark hair. She wore a black skirt, white top, and black heels. On her left wrist was a silver banded watch. She carried what looked to be a laptop case on her right shoulder. The closer I approached, the more I was able to see more of her, but it wasn’t until she turned to face me that I realized I’d seen her before.

The prior evening, in fact.

Standing near her now, in the light of day, in a drastically different scenario, a pang of remorse washed over me. To say feeling bad was an oddity for me was an understatement. I hardly ever gave people a second thought, let alone harbored any sense of guilt about my interactions.

There was a chance she wouldn’t recognize me as the same officer who pulled her over last night. If that was the case, then I would remain as quiet as possible and get this over with quickly so I could get back to dealing with the rest of my day.

Any hope I had that she viewed me as a complete stranger died when her eyes narrowed into slits and the corners of her mouth turned down.

“This is just great,” she mumbled loud enough for me to hear, and I didn’t know if it was her tone or the blatant look of disgust on her face from having to stand near me, but a part of me that had been dormant for as long as I could remember flicked back to life during the unpleasant interaction.

The moment was fleeting, but I held on to it for as long as possible before it faded into obscurity. The snarkiness in her voice pricked my senses. Everyone else I encountered either left me alone completely or engaged me briefly, their tones restrained and cautious, most likely because of my body language: that and the constant scowl on my face.

But the woman standing ten feet from me piqued my curiosity, all while she treated me with an iota of disdain.

Now, if she’d only stop glaring at me, I could attempt to make amends for last night.

“You still have the hots for him too, don’t you?”

I could never lie to my friend. “Do we have to talk about this now?” I asked. When he nodded, I continued reluctantly. “He always seems to be around and he consumes my dreams,” I sighed.

Adam grinned. “That’s what I thought. Now let’s swim. Want me to flirt with you and make him jealous?”

“Uh no, that would get awkward fast. Thanks though.”

I slid slowly into the pool while Adam decided on a cannonball. Milo swam over and hung unto the wall beside me. He looked around before he began to speak.

“What was Adam saying to you a minute ago?”

“Nothing important.”

“Do you have a thing for each other?”

A laugh burst from my mouth. “Not a chance. Adam is like the brother I never had. Why?”

Milo shrugged. “Just curious.” He pulled on my hand as he pushed off the wall into the middle of the pool, dragging me with him.

I had to tread to keep myself afloat, but he put his arm around me, pulling me closer to him.

“You know, you are making staying above the water a little difficult, Milo.”

“So put your arms around me, I’ll keep you up.” He said with a smirk.

“Stop being all cutesy with me.” I said pushing off of him.

“You think I’m cute?” He asked, his smirk turning into a full-on glorious smile.

“Ugh that is not what I meant and you know it.”

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see that attention was falling on us. “People are beginning the stare.”

“So?”

Really? How could he have such a nonchalant attitude?

He drifted a little closer to me, and I tried to put more distance between us, but he just kept coming until soon there was nowhere else for me to go as I pressed up against the wall. Closer still, he came until my mind was short-circuiting. My gaze flicked between his gorgeous eyes and his lips that were close enough to kiss.

“Nora?”

“Mmm?”

“I asked you a question.”

I shook myself out the daydream. “Sorry. What was the question?”

Milo smiled. He knew what he was doing to me. He leaned in even closer, speaking the words against my ear.

Pre-Order Blitz ~ Bonus Kisses ~ by ~ Freya Barker

Title: Bonus Kisses

Author: Freya Barker

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: December 7, 2020

Free-spirited black sheep, Taz Boran, has worked tirelessly as a nurse bringing efficient medical care to Africa for the past eight years. But when her sister Nicky is told she doesn’t have long to live, she immediately flies home to small-town Eminence, Missouri.

Unfortunately, taking care of Nicky means being around her husband, Rafe; the one man Taz could never forget. Rafe is not only her brother-in-law but also took over the family veterinary clinic from her dad.

As Taz becomes Nicky’s home health care nurse—working closely with Rafe to make her sister comfortable—their latent attraction comes sizzling back to the surface. They won’t betray Nicky, but if her dying wish is to see them get the happy ending they always deserved, can they really keep fighting what’s meant to be?

That voice.

Goosebumps break out over my skin as I swing around at the sound. The softly whispered fuck me when he recognizes me almost has me running.

The thirty-eight hours and four airplanes it took me to get me here—from the small airstrip by the clinic to the international airport in Kinshasa, via Paris to New York, and finally Springfield—left me too much time to think. I’d reconsidered the wisdom of the split second it took me to make a promise I hadn’t really thought through all the way.

The man who has my hair stand on end was one of the main reasons I almost changed my mind.

Damn, he looks good. A little gray in his whiskers and a few more lines in his face, but otherwise he’s still the same Rafe I first met nine years ago in my parents’ kitchen. The same deep blue eyes pin me in place.

All I can hear is the blood rushing through me, but I realize Nicky must’ve said something when his gaze flits to the bed behind me. I turn around. Shame instantly floods me when I see the mere shadow of my perfect sister lying in the hospital bed.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Rafe finally says. “Need I remind you of the last time she decided to show her face? You were a mess for months.”

I wince at his description of my last visit home five years ago. Nicky catches it and shoots me an apologetic smile. I instantly realize she hasn’t told him the reason why I left in such a hurry and never returned.

“Well, I don’t have months now. Besides, that was not Taz’s fault,” she defends me, but Rafe won’t hear it.

“For the life of me I don’t understand how you can stand up for her. You forget I lived through the aftermath.”

“You don’t know everything.” Nicky’s voice is weak and her eyes tired. “I need her. I can’t do this without her.” Her hand finds mine and she grabs on as the first tears I’ve shed in years start rolling down my cheeks “Please, Rafe,” she pleads. “I need you to back me on this.”

His eyes soften on her, before turning to me with suspicion and concern. It fucking hurts, but I lift my chin and stare him down, my sister’s fragile hand in mine strengthening me.

Rafe’s only answer is a curt nod.

The reason why a united front is necessary becomes clear when, half an hour later, Mom walks in the room pushing my father in a wheelchair, a sight that shocks me.

She stops right inside the door, clutching a fist to her chest when her eyes land on me.

“Out,” she growls, and the single syllable is like a dagger in my back. My gaze darts to my father whose face has gone slack.

“Mom…”

Nicky’s plea goes unheard as my mother narrows her eyes on me. “How dare you show up out of the blue. You broke your father’s heart.”

Not even my sister’s surprisingly firm hold on my hand can give me the strength I need for this face-off. I’ve been traveling for days with little to no sleep, endured barbs from the one man who has the power to injure me, and haven’t even begun to process that my sister is dying. There is no way I can handle my mother’s anger or my dad’s disappointment.

“That’s enough,” Rafe barks unexpectedly at my mother, shocking her as much as it shocks me. Then he adds a bit more gently, “Taz is here because Nicky called for her.”

Using the brief silence that follows as my mother struggles to understand, I bend over my sister, my face close to hers, effectively shutting everyone else out. “I’m going to step out, but I’ll be back.”

“Promise?”

I watch him. Admire him. Want to be like him.

The problem is, he’s my father’s biggest competition on the racetrack.

I want him to mentor me, to teach me not just to ride, but to race.

The other problem? I’m a girl.

There’s never been a female racer on the circuit before.

But I’m about to change that.

I’m about to prove, not just to him and my father but the entire world, that I’m just as fast and badass as them.

My final problem? I’m beginning to fall for him.

In fact, I hate nothing about him.

What happens when the popular hot guy with the famous rich parents wakes up one day and can’t recognize himself in the mirror anymore?

He hides in the dark. Angry, alone and miserable.

His only source of happiness is music and the sanctuary it provides when he lets it seep into his soul and wash over him like purifying water.

That is, until a raven-haired dancer starts to bring him back into the light, showing him how to feel, how to be happy again. His own personal ray of sunshine at his fingertips, mesmerizing him with every move she makes.

Happiness is so close; he can almost touch it.

But will he accept it? Will he follow her out of the shadows and into the light? Or will he stay hidden forever?

Do we ever really know all there is to know about a person?

I don’t think anyone has ever known me—the real me—except for him. The one person I was told to stay away from. He’s bad for you, wrong and dangerous they all said.

Then why did it always feel so right to be with him?

He has loved me fiercely and without remorse my whole life; making my decision to choose him that much easier. It’s simple really; we belong together.

He takes care of me, protecting me when no one else does. He knows me better and loves me more than I do myself most days. He might be dangerous to others but only when they try to hurt me.

And God help the man who tries.

Karen Renee is the author of the Riot Motorcycle Club, Beta, and O-Town series of books. She once crunched Nielsen ratings data but these days she brings her imagination to life by writing books. She has wanted to be a writer since she was very young, but it’s taken the last twenty plus years for her to amass enough courage and overall life experience to bring that dream to life. Some of those life experiences came from the wonderful world of advertising, banking, and local television media research. She is a proud wife and mother, and a Jacksonville native. 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.
