Title: Tempting Fate

Author: S.A. Clayton
Genre: Contemporary Romance/Light BDSM
Release Date: January 25, 2021
Cover Design: Kari March
Everything with Jade began at Club Temptation, so it makes sense fate would bring us back together here. She looks so incredibly beautiful it takes my breath. So insanely sexy. And from the look in her eyes…she still hates me.

I thought leaving Jade behind six years ago was my only option. I didn’t want to admit how much she meant to me, and I definitely didn’t want to face her brother, my best friend—the man who would have killed me if he found out I was sleeping with his little sister.

But leaving was the worst mistake I ever made.

Yet I’ve returned, and behind all the hatred she claims to have for me, I can see the same desire she had all those years ago. And I plan to use that to my advantage.

She has no idea what I have in store—the ways I plan to tempt her.

Oh, this is going to be fun. 

NOTE: Tempting Fate is a Lady Boss Press book and is connected to Kristen Proby’s With Me in Seattle Universe

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone, second-chance story of forbidden love… 

 

It’s natural to want the one you can’t have. And for as long as I could remember, I’d secretly wanted my brother’s best friend, Jace.
He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had.
Fast forward a decade.
We were all in our twenties now. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died.
It was just the three of us—an odd family dynamic.
Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever.
But he certainly didn’t look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated.
I was pretty much hot and bothered twenty-four-seven.
And he was torn.
The signs were subtle, at first. Like on movie night, I’d casually rest my leg against his, and he wouldn’t exactly shift away.
Still, I assumed he would never…go there. 
Nathan would kill us.
The knowledge of that wasn’t enough to stop the inevitable, though.
Eventually our slow burn exploded.
But more than the physical attraction, we’d developed a strong connection.
We just couldn’t get caught, right?
That sounded simple.
Until it wasn’t.
This is a story of forbidden love, broken trust, and an unexpected second chance.

I’m infuriated by my feelings for her…

 

They’ve held me captive all this time.
I might have been the one that walked away, but that doesn’t mean I’m not still haunted by her— by what I did to her.
But that’s the thing about ghosts… they always return when you least expect it.
My step-sister was an outlet for my pain, but everything has changed.
Now, I’ve got nothing to lose.
If she thought I hated her the first time we met, then she’s about to get a shock.
The rage I felt didn’t compare to the fury that now consumes me.
I might be empty, but I’m going to show her how it feels by taking away everything she has… one painful piece at a time.

She’s a curvaceous vixen who owns the hottest lounge in Los Angeles.
He’s a sexy hockey goaltender who plays the game off the ice more than on.
What happens when a one-night stand becomes more?
Twenty-eight-year-old, voluptuous, Filipina-American, Arianna Santos has the hottest spot in LA nightlife. When her grandfather has a major stroke and there’s a low chance of recovery, she inherits from him the worst team in the National Hockey League, the San Francisco Storm. Without knowing anything about hockey or running a hockey franchise, Arianna needs to prove to the all-boys club that a well-educated, minority female owner has a place in the industry. The Storm General Manager insists that she learn about hockey from the new goalie, Blake Collins.
Tall, toned, and hazel-eyed, Blake Collins has the swift moves on the ice as the California Crusaders goaltender, continuing the Collins goalie legacy of Stanley Cup Championships his father and grandfather established for the team. When a knee injury affects his game and attitude on the ice, he gets transferred to the San Francisco Storm as their only hope of making it to play-offs. As the player with the most knowledge and skills passed from generations of great hockey players, Blake is forced to teach the new knows-nothing-about-hockey owner, Arianna Santos, about how the hockey world works.
Blake and Arianna’s animal attraction to each other gives them a passionate one-night stand in LA that doesn’t end as they expected. Will their reunion cause a riff in the organization? Will they both play nice to one another for the sake of the team?

Gian

I knew I’d never have the luxury of choosing my own wife. An arranged marriage was a sacrifice men in my position had to make for their families. It wasn’t something I looked forward to, but it had to be done.

I just never imagined my father would choose her to be my bride. Daniela Moretti, the daughter of my enemy…and I intended to treat her as such.

But since the day she set foot in my house as my wife, my loathing of her turned into something deadlier than hate. Her strength intrigued me. Her fight seduced me. And I started seeing more in her than just dirty, filthy Moretti blood.

Now…she’s gone. Kidnapped. Vanished without a trace.

But the devil always finds what’s his, and when I do, my thirst for vengeance will be sated by blood.

Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: February 1, 2021
Cover Design: VC Book Cover Design
Ana finally finds the one. Shame it’s with her enemy’s twin brother.

Two things have stopped Ana from finding true love… being an exotic dancer, and Angel.

No longer stripping, Ana is now a waitress at Brick Road. She has solved one obstacle to love, but Angel is omnipresent. Angel. The stripper who soured her relationship with Carlos. Angel. The woman who made her doubt Alec… and herself. 

But one night, in a traumatic twist of events, these enemies become more intertwined than Ana ever thought possible.

Happily ever after is finally found. In the place where love and hate collide.
 
Angel in Between- The Trilogy Finale 

A self-professed chameleon, I have lived in many skins. Three countries have given me home, and I’ve circled the globe leaving out only Antarctica. I speak two languages fluently and can order food and say “I love you” in many more. Travel fulfills my fascination and desire to discover the various fibres that bring together the fabric of humanity. In my time around the world, meeting people from all walks of life and various cultural identities, I have concluded so far that love is the golden thread. This is why, of all the books and material I write, romance is my biggest obsession.

I have a passion for writing books that break through the wall of mystery between ‘them’ and ‘us’, and I hope to give readers a glimpse into lifestyles and lives that would otherwise remain unknown. Using the backdrop of romance, I want to draw us all together through love, something we can all understand. Romance on the path less taken.

When I’m not reading or writing, I’m probably singing very loudly, brushing my pony, walking dogs, cycling or swimming in the sea. Like every respectable woman, I also like drinking champagne and eating half of every chocolate in a truffles box. My spirit animal is a butterfly.

Josh
I was just driving down the road one day when I saw her. That was when everything went to shit. Bullets were flying, I was killing guys with a toilet lid. It was insane. And the whole time, I had a scared, timid woman as an accomplice.
Or was she?
She knew exactly what she was doing. She knew exactly what to say. It seemed that I was the only one left in the dark about what was really going on. And I was about to pay for it, with my life.
Hannah
I’d seen that look before, that watchful gaze that sent shivers down my spine. I thought he was there to kill me, but then he got wrapped up in everything with me, and then I couldn’t shake him. I couldn’t tell him who I was. I could never let him go back to his life. He had to run with me or his whole family would be murdered. But you know what they say about secrets, they always come out eventually. And when he finds out mine, he’s gonna be pissed.
This is book 3 in The Cortell Brothers series, and it is recommended they are read in order.

 

 
 

 
 

 

 
 

 

 

 
I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

Jack 

I’m the son of Liam O’Reagan, next in line to wear the crown.
And when I prove myself worthy, I will RULE over the Irish Mafia.
I don’t have time for distractions—much less time for a woman who has always been the bane of my existence.
When Maeve comes back into my life, I fight like hell to resist the pull she has on me.
An attraction that has only grown stronger with time.
But, when trouble lands her at my feet, I take the opportunity to have what I truly want.
I offer her a deal. I’ll help her, but the cost will be one night in my bed.
One night of submission.
One night to have her completely at my mercy.
If only I had known my battle with Maeve would start a war.

Maeve 

Jack is the only one who can help me.
Too bad, he hates me.
But I have no choice but to go to him.
It turns out, hate is a powerful motivator, and I just handed him a way to punish me.
He offers me his help—for a price. Everything in his world has a price.
One night in his bed.
He’s everything a woman would want, so this should be easy. Only, I’m a virgin, and he terrifies me.
I should run, but I won’t.
I can’t.
I just pray this one night doesn’t destroy us both.

 

EXCERPT

“One night in my bed. You submit to me, and the debt is cleared.” 

My stomach churns, and I can’t look at him. “If I say no?” I quickly look back at him while trying to hold the pleading note in my voice back.
He works a muscle in his jaw before his face relaxes. “You can say no.” He shrugs and walks away from me. “But that’s the deal. One night with me and I’ll give you the twelve grand.”
My options were; be used in a brothel by countless men or give myself for one night to Jack, and the debt is cleared.
Heat slowly creeps up my chest as I think of both scenarios. Jack sits back down behind his desk and starts writing. “Make up your mind quickly.”
Anger accelerates my heart once again. He could have any girl in the world, so why me? I knew why— because he could—because his money is his power.
Hate heightens in my system, and I close my eyes briefly. “Fine.”
He doesn’t look up at me, even as my soul screams not to do this. He still keeps writing, and I wonder if he heard me.
“I agree,” I say louder.
“I heard you the first time.” He doesn’t look up as he speaks, as if I’m not worth looking at anymore.

Cover Reveal ~ House of Payne: Sage ~ by ~ Stacy Gail

Title: House of Payne: Sage

Series: House of Payne Series
Author: Stacy Gail
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: December 18, 2020
Cover Design: Stacy Gail
Baby steps…
Mads Daniels may have landed at House Of Payne, but she sure as hell doesn’t want to be there. Her tattooist father started out with Payne, and his tales of the boss stealing artists’ work freaks her out in a big way. If Payne ever attempts to steal her art, she’ll have no choice but to unveil him as a fraud. And that could bring down House of Payne itself.

Step by step…
Sage McCormick never had a stable home until he joined House of Payne. It’s such a sweet gig he’s even willing to get involved in events like its annual charity auction. Everything is just about perfect, except for the newest recruit, Mads. She refuses to fit in, and he’s determined to find out why. Getting her sexy ass involved in the auction is only the first step in getting close to her… in more ways than one.

Leap of faith
The cocky charm Sage exudes like a pheromone bowls Mads over straight into his bed. But as Sage tries to coax her into thinking of the House as her new home, she realizes she has a decision to make—listen to the poison her father spews, or put her faith in the man she loves.


***This standalone contemporary romance contains lots of cursing from both the hero and heroine, multiple sex scenes, and a protective Alpha male who will use any trick in the book to get his chosen woman out of her shell. No cheating, no love triangles, no cliffhangers. HEA guaranteed, along with a satisfying epilogue. Due to adult language and sexual content, this book is not intended for people under the age of eighteen***
“Here. Hold the lower stick like this.” Dropping his own sticks, Sage reached over and helped her cradle one of the chopsticks in the curve of her thumb, then steadied it by her last two fingers. “That pretty much stays there, so don’t mess with it, okay? Now, take the other stick and hold it kind of like a pencil, making sure that the ends meet up so that they can grip the food. Got it?”

“Oh, wow. I think I do get it.” Experimentally she clicked the chopsticks together, and was amazed when they didn’t fly out of her hand and put her eye out. Emboldened, she went to pluck a mushroom out to swirl it in the yellow heart of the egg topping her ramen. Instead, she flipped the mushroom completely out of her bowl, only to watch in horror at it landed in the middle of the table between them.

Great.

“At this rate, it’s going to take the entire dinner break just to get a couple bites,” she muttered while heat crawled up her neck. “Why don’t you just get this meeting started so we can get out of here.”

“An empty stomach means shaky hands, and that’s the one thing a tattooist can never have.” Plucking a mushroom out of his own bowl, he held it up to her mouth. “Eat. Then we’ll talk.”

Surprise locked her brain into dumbfounded silence even as she found herself taking the morsel into her mouth. Only when her lips closed over his chopsticks and the blatant intimacy of putting her mouth where his belonged snapped her out of it. 

What in the world was she doing, allowing a virtual stranger to feed her? And how weird was it that she hadn’t even given it a thought. She was just letting him feed her like it was the most natural thing in the world. It wasn’t, of course. But…

Somehow it felt right.

Like this closeness between them was meant to be.

Though she knew all too well there was no such thing as meant to be.

That was just a fairy tale.

But still.

Putting her mouth where his had been, while he watched her with an intensity that stopped her heart, felt right. Perfect, even.

Meant to be.

Now, with a day job of playing on the ice with her students, and writing everything from steampunk to cyberpunk, contemporary to paranormal at night, both dreams have come true.
