I died a long time ago. I was broken, lost, and damaged by my past. That is until I met Alayna—the most determined, impossibly passionate woman alive. She plucked me out of the dark, unbound me from my worst fears, and showed me that life is more than just surviving. She is my saving grace. But I destroyed that too by abandoning her when she needed me the most. Now she can’t bring herself to look at me, even without the mask I hid behind. I am the reason why we fell apart. Nevertheless, my plans to destroy my enemies will save us both. In the search for the truth about our intertwined pasts, we will find a way back to each other. What Alayna and I had shouldn’t have ended this way. But since it did, my revenge begins…

Contemporary romance author Margarette Grey began intriguing a vast audience of romance readers on Wattpad with swoon-worthy storylines featuring hot billionaires and clumsy heroines. She loves the thrill of reading gripping romance novels at night, kissing alpha males in her dreams, and writing about them in the morning. Her passion for writing started out as an ardent love for reading, which soon morphed into a belief that if others could write, she could write as well. And now, many years into the future, Grey is yet to stop exciting her ever-growing fan base with the perfect mix for a romantic dream. At some point in her life, working as a graphic designer was great for setting food on the table. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology with a major in Multimedia Arts after all. However, her interest in her stable job soon faded away when her passion for writing reached an all-time high. Quitting her career as a graphics designer translated into full-time writing—a life that she considers her dream life. She makes her home in The Pearl of the Orient Seas, where ‘leisure time’ means indulging in drawings, watching anime, Korean dramas, and Netflix series.

Cover Reveal ~ Faking it with #41 ~ by ~ Piper Rayne

Release Date: September 21

Fake.

Being the heir to Jacobs Enterprises, I’ve been around fake people my entire life. I promised myself a long time ago that I wouldn’t change for anyone. Which is the only reason I’m a professional hockey player who lives on the beach and does as he pleases without answering to anyone—except my father.

And now, my daughter.

Being a single dad wasn’t in the plan but after a one-night stand who took off after the baby was born, this is my reality.

My dad’s been harping on me to quit hockey and join the company for years and now that I’m a father, he’s only intensified his efforts. Until he makes me a deal I can’t refuse.

Insert Lena Boyd, the Jacobs’ family PR rep. She’s beautiful and intelligent and not at all the woman for me—ask anyone.

My dad needs us to act happily engaged and sell the idea that we’re in love. If we’re successful I won’t have to join the family legacy—ever. Of course, I agree.

That’s when things get complicated. I thought I had her all figured out until I found out there was more underneath her judgmental sneers and eye rolls. It feels like everything is coming together for the future I really want—with Lena—until my past ruins everything.

He hadn’t appreciated how well he’d slept next to Kenzie in the past. Not until that night, when he dozed off only to wake up in a cold sweat. The third time it happened, he went to the bathroom. As he wandered back to her bed, he saw it was quarter to four in the morning.

His eyes had adjusted to the dark, he found his pants, and quietly pulled them on.

“You’re leaving?” Kenzie croaked.

“Not sleepin’. Means you’re probably not sleepin’. Figure it’s better—”

She turned on her bedside lamp and he squinted. He watched her reach under her pillow and pull out her satin nightie. She got out of the bed, pulled on the nightie, and turned around.

Her eyes blazed at him. “You did not strike me as a runner.”

“Not running. We’re both—”

She leaned forward. “Tired! Whatever, Vaillant! I fucked up and told you how I was feeling because you told me not to bottle shit up and to always be honest with you. Is that a one-way street now?”

“Ken—”

She shook her head. “I hear the placating tone coming my way, and I call bullshit. Seriously, Sam. I gotta be honest with you always, but that courtesy doesn’t extend my way?”

His head turned marginally. She’d turned shit around on him, and he didn’t like it. “What are we fighting about?”

“The double standard, Brute. You don’t have to say you love me, but you don’t feel anything for me?” she asked, throwing an arm out. She shook her head again, and stalked toward the bathroom. “I shouldn’t ask that. Besides, you’re right. It’s probably better if you go. Neither one of us is sleeping, not that I’m likely to sleep now, but have it your way. I’ll lock the front door in five minutes.”

She closed the door to the bathroom, and he heard the lock click. The hollowness in his stomach wasn’t hollow anymore. It burned with a pain he hadn’t felt in a long damn time. He sat on her bed, put his elbows to his knees, hunched over, and held his head in his hands. She was right, he’d given her a double standard.

What the hell was he supposed to do?

He wouldn’t leave her like this, that much he knew. Whether he could make it right with her, remained to be seen.

Waiting for her to come out of the bathroom felt like an eternity.

He turned his head when she opened the door and felt a gut punch. Her eyes were puffy and bloodshot. That was his fault.

With his eyes on hers, he sat up straight and held a hand out to her. She twisted her lips, but put her hand in his while she slowly made her way to him. He didn’t want her sitting next to him, so he let go of her hand and took her by the hips. She gasped, but her legs spread as he put her on his lap so they were chest-to-chest and face-to-face.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered.

Her hands wrapped around his neck. “What for?”

His forefinger traced around her eye. “This. I never want to make you cry, Zee. And, I’m sorry for giving you a double standard.”

Her brows went up even as her chin dipped. She kept quiet.

“I have feelings for you. More damn feelings than I’ve had for a woman in a helluva a long time.”

He heard and felt her shuddering breath. “That goes both ways,” she whispered.

With his forehead against hers, he asked, “You have feelings for a woman, too?”

Her fingers gave his neck a playful squeeze. “No. I have—”

“I got that when you laid the honesty on me, babe. Scares the hell out of me because I haven’t done anything to deserve that.”

Amazon → https://amzn.to/2SoF4Yy Excerpt Copyright 2021 @Nikki Castle I have a lot of thoughts about Tristan, but the one thing I can’t deny is that he’s gorgeous. He’s over six feet tall and a solid 200 pounds of muscle. I know him from the MMA gym I joined because of Jax in college—and it’s an understatement to say they both look the part of a fighter. Tristan is the pretty boy of the two, with just-woke-up tousled, dark brown hair and piercing blue eyes that always feel like they’re staring straight into the secrets of your soul. His jawline is defined and he’s got just enough stubble on his face to give him a rugged look, but not enough that it comes off as a scruffy beard. His skin has a warm tan, most likely from all the shirtless runs he does around the city for his cardio workouts. I also know from my time at the gym that he’s completely shredded from his training. Every pound of him has a purpose, his body built to be an efficient fighting machine with a low body fat percentage and muscles defined not by lifting weights, but by training with a real purpose and a fuck-ton of hard work. His dedication to the sport is unrivaled and it definitely shows in his appearance. I’ve never met a man as comfortable in his body as Tristan, and that fact coupled with the physical result of his workouts gives him an air of confidence and raw masculinity. Basically, an effortless Adonis. He’s also a total ladies’ man and a shameless pig. Or maybe that’s just to me, since I assume there has to be a reason why women all fall into bed with him. Either way, he and I have been at each other’s throats since the first day I stepped in the gym and he gave me directions to the ballet studio down the street. “Of all the women I know, you’re easily the least ladylike,” he drawls. I glare at him and push past, heading for the bathroom. “I guess that’s really saying something, huh? God knows you’ve been with half the women in this city,” I throw over my shoulder. By the time I come out of the bathroom, he’s sprawled on the couch and back to watching whatever MMA fight he was analyzing before I pounded on his door. “Where’s Jax?” I ask as I plop onto the loveseat next to the TV. “Still out at happy hour,” Tristan responds without even looking at me. I notice he’s watching a UFC title fight, most likely analyzing the champ’s fighting style for his own arsenal of skills. I glance at my phone. “Jesus, still? It’s 9pm. How much do those corporate assholes drink?” I throw my head back with a groan. “Look, Remy—” I immediately growl at the condescending tone, knowing I’m not going to like what’s about to come out of his mouth. “I don’t mind if you hang out until Jax comes back, but could you be a doll and shut the fuck up? I’m trying to work.” He smiles sweetly. “Actually, I take that back, I do mind. Can you just wait for him in the kitchen like a good woman? Maybe make me dinner while you’re in there.” I glare and launch a pillow directly at his head—which he deflects easily. “I can’t believe chauvinists like you still exist in this day and age. Hasn’t the women’s movement stomped you out yet?” I snarl. Then I pause, thinking of something. “Actually, what surprises me the most is that you still find women to sleep with you. Although I doubt the women you fuck even know the definition of chauvinist, so maybe that’s my answer.” He chuckles and gives me an exaggerated once-over. “Everybody knows your hatred for me is just a cover for how badly you want to be under me,” he says with a smirk.

“I need your help.” She grabs my shirt and pulls me into the restroom, slamming the door shut. “What kind of help?” I raise a brow at her with a flirty smile. She ignores my flirting. “I need you to get me out of this date.” “Excuse me?” “I’m on a date with one of my brother’s deputies, and he brought his mom!” She raises her arms in disbelief. “His mom!” “His mom?” “Yes, that’s what I said.” She slaps her hands on her hips. “She won’t stop talking about him.” “So leave.” I shrug nonchalantly. “I tried!” she huffs, nibbling on her thumb. “I tried to say my stomach hurt, and his mom gave me some Pepto.” “Is that why it smells in here?” I scrunch my nose. “No!” She smacks my chest. “I need you to help me get out of this. I’m afraid if I stay any longer, Leo’s mom will announce our engagement. She’s already told me she thinks we’ll have beautiful babies. I need you to think of something that will get me out of this.” “Let me get this straight…” I tap a finger to my lips. “You want me to come up with a brilliant idea that will get you out of a date you are currently on. Do I have it right?” “Yes,” she huffs, narrowing her eyes at me. “What’s in it for me?”

All the books releasing today are FREE in Kindle Unlimited:

Fallen by Rebecca Barber https://geni.us/FallenEH

When Zach Higgins rolled out of bed to go start his shift at the firehouse this morning, he never thought he’d end his day falling in love.

All it took was one flutter of her tiny eyelashes and Zach was wrapped around her chubby little finger.

The last thing Zach wanted to do was hand her over to a stranger. That was until the woman of his dreams turned up in her petticoat and pearls to take the baby home.

—

Lily Evans always wanted to be a mother. She’s dreamt of the day she got to hold her baby in her arms and sing lullabies as they drifted off to sleep.

But the world had other plans for Lily and her motherhood dreams.

When an opportunity to foster an abandoned baby arises, she jumps at the chance.

What Lily doesn’t expect is to find her in the arms of a shirtless, sexy as sin, tattooed firefighter with an accent.

This Aussie firefighter sets her on fire in ways she’d rather not admit to. Lily was not prepared for Zach to turn her world upside down but was he everything she’d been waiting for?

Fractured by Laine Vess https://geni.us/FracturedEHW

Marzia Kiel has returned to Sunnyville, though she vowed she never would. The ghosts there that haunt her are plenty, but she’s willing to face them when her aging mother needs her. She just didn’t expect her teenage crush to be her coworker when she shows up at her new job.

Doctor Reed Segraves at Sunnyville General is trying to figure out life post-divorce. When a dear friend from his past shows up, he starts to wonder what life would’ve been like if he’d made a different choice.

Can Marzia and Reed have a do-over? Or will they find it impossible to overcome their demons and accept the happiness that life seems to offer?

Trapped by Kristina Beck https://geni.us/TrappedEH

Charli

Hating my life, I make a single selfish wish.

When it’s granted, innocent lives are lost.

And my punishment? I inherit everything, including a beautiful baby girl. Now, I’m a single parent to a six-month-old I haven’t the first clue what to do with.

To make matters worse, Kellan, my father’s broody business partner, shows up looking as gorgeous as ever. It’s always been quite clear that he can’t stand me, but now it seems like the complete opposite.

Everyone says I’m the winner in this situation, but extreme guilt chases away my happiness. Then two more bombs are thrown at my feet, making me question the strength of true love and my future.

Kellan

I miss an exit and become stuck in the middle of a nightmare.

Horrific images are burned into my memory.

Relief washes over me that it’s not Charli, the woman I’ve always hidden my true feelings from. It’s her sister.

Then guilt hits me like a freight train.

No one can know.

At the wrong place at the wrong time, I’m brought face-to-face with Charli and her new daughter. Out of respect for my boss, I’ve gone as far as to callously dismiss her. But that reasoning is irrelevant now. It’s time I put everything on the line and prove she’s the only woman for me… even if it means losing her anyway when she finds out my secrets.

Book Tour ~ Blood & Bones: Rev ~ by ~ Jeanne St. James

Title: Blood & Bones: Rev

Series: Blood Fury MC #8

Author: Jeanne St. James

Genre: Contemporary/MC Romance

Release Date: July 3, 2021

Goodreads Review – “Hot chemistry, witty banter and all the feels as Rev and Reilly spend time together and learn each others secrets their journey into the past might just give them both the future they deserve.”

Domestic_godess_reads – “…hauntingly beautiful.”

Goodreads Review – “Reading a Jeanne St James’ book is like slipping into comfy shoes after a long hard day.”

From a past of righteousness to a future of anything but…

Rev rarely does what’s expected of him.

The Blood Fury member’s rebellious nature tends to lead him on the road less traveled.

In his youth, he fought the chains meant to restrain him, meant to force him on a righteous path. A path he never chose. A path he never planned to follow.

He prefers to pave his own road, taking detours to forge his own future.

Even if it’s one full of sin.

But an unexpected call drags him back to the painful past he’s left far behind. One he’s tried to forget.

No good reason exists for him to return. Except to witness the final moments of the person who made him and his sister suffer.

Maybe even get a taste of revenge.

However, he’s not sure he can deal with it alone. He wants someone to stand by him and help give him strength.

A woman who also carves her own path and spits in the face of restrictive rules.

The problem is, she’s off limits. No matter how tempting she is, no matter how satisfying the sin would be, touching her is one rule he can’t break.

Ultimately, mistakes are made.

Secrets are forced to be kept.

Because he’s a sinner.

He was born one.

He will die one.

And in between, he plans to enjoy the life he chose.

Sins and all.

Note: Blood & Bones: Rev is the eighth book in the Blood Fury MC series. As always, this book has no cheating, no cliffhanger and has an HEA. It’s recommended to read this series in order.

♦ ♦ ♦

Georgia I’ve hated Chase Mathews from the first time I saw him. He’s arrogant, cocky, and far too obnoxious for anyone to deal with. But our best friends are married, so escaping him isn’t exactly easy. Did I mention he’s also my new roommate? You see, life hasn’t exactly gone to plan recently, and I’m out of options. But just because I’m stuck with him doesn’t mean I have to lay back and endure his antics. Chase doesn’t know it yet, but he’s just met his match. Chase Georgia Monroe has driven me crazy for years. And not in a fun way. She’s a snobby brat who I try to avoid at all costs. As luck would have it, she’s also my new roommate. If this year hasn’t taken enough from me, it is undoubtedly testing my sanity with her around. Forced into close quarters, I don’t know who will snap first. Georgia is fire, and I’m gasoline. Soon, someone is going to explode. I’m just hoping it won’t be me.

I force myself to look away from him. Sure, he’s attractive, most athletes are. Okay, that isn’t completely true, but it’s what I’m willing to tell myself for acknowledging his hotness. Hot people can still suck. There, that’s it. “Uh, you’re in my seat,” he snaps. I dismiss him with a wave. “Didn’t realize you paid for the couch.” My eyes go back to the movie. I feel the other end dip, while he exhales a puff of breath. In the next second, he changes the channel. “Uh excuse me! I was watching that.” I lean over to grab the remote from him, but he’s too fast for me, tucking it under his ass. “Seriously?” I fume, my fingers digging into the pillow I have in a death grip. “If you want it, come get it.” I turn my nose up. “Ew, I think I’ll pass. Even sitting near you is enough to risk catching something.” He just shrugs, shoving a wad of popcorn into his mouth. “Get your own seat next time.” “Well, if you didn’t basically eat, sleep and breathe on this sofa then I wouldn’t have to take it from you!” “Someone’s in a bad mood.” He smirks, clearly loving the fact he’s getting a rise out of me. Fine. He wants to be an ass. Two can play that game. “I don’t think I’ve ever met someone as uptight as you.” My head snaps toward him. “To most people, I’m a delight, you just happen to bring out the inner psychopath in me.” He rolls his eyes. “Sureeee.” “Whatever, I’m going to shower, enjoy the show.” My words are sticky sweet, like honey dripping off every word. I see his eyebrows draw together, but it’s too late for him. I flick his bowl of popcorn as I walk by, the small yellow pieces flying all over him.

Her passion for writing came about at a young age when her sister would read her excerpts of Sylvia Plath and Virginia Woolf. She currently lives back in Sydney with her family and their two pugs. When she isn’t writing or reading, she spends her time traveling and searching for the best record stores. Eventually, Scarlett hopes to begin a new adventure in Edinburgh.
