Devlin Saint is waiting for you

He grabs my chin, holding it firm between his thumb and forefinger, the gesture so commanding that I feel the tingle of its intensity all the way to my core. “Stay with me,” he murmurs.

Hump Day Steals & Deals January 27, 2021
And now, back to Hump Day! So many great books and grabby covers. (An Indecent Arrangement looks yummy enough to one-click. I already did! Did you?)
Authors — wanna submit your deal for the page? Scroll down and complete the form!


This book was inspired by a true love triangle between three people the author knows personally. “While the real-life scenario didn’t work out the way this story does, it was fun to give them all the ending they deserved in fiction.”
How cool is that?
(Note: Kobo is not included in this sale because the book is currently part of another promotion on their site.)

A single mother.
An up-and-coming drummer with a sordid past.
Their paths never should have crossed.

This is a menage, so two heroes for the price of one!
Two very bad boys trying to go legit…
One good girl who could be their downfall…
A split-second and a single shot…

I was taken.
Kidnapped by a boy I thought I could love.
Then he sold me as if I were property.
“I’m loving this series, it’s dark, twisted and all engulfing, sucking you in from one turn of the page to the next.”

The cover is AMAZING and just what I want in a Regency Romance novel. Filled with bold colors and era perfect, this cover caught my eye right away. The story inside did not disappoint either. It took me back to my youth when I couldn’t get enough of the 70’s bodice rippers.” – The Naked Reviewers

“The novel is fresh, its hot andit has heart! Honestly, Her Dakota Manis exactly what a Romance novel should be.” – Smitten w/ Books

My Beautiful Sin Is Available Now!

Scroll down for an excerpt!
A peek at Devlin and Ellie…“Devlin doesn’t answer right away. Instead he studies my face, the silence lingering for so long that I start to squirm under his heavy gaze. Finally, he says, “You’re not like him, El.”
I make a scoffing sound, both hating and relishing how well this man can read me.
“People have facets. You can still love him, El. It’s allowed. And you can hate him too, for what he did. Whatever you’re feeling, give yourself permission to simply feel it.”
“Is it horrible that right now, all I want to do is sleep?”
A sad smile touches his lips as he slides off the stool then reaches for me. He helps me down, then immediately picks me up, cradling me in his arms as he carries me to bed. He helps me out of my clothes, and I slide in naked between the sheets. It’s only early evening, but I can already feel the pull of exhaustion drawing me down towards sleep. “Will you hold me?”
“You don’t even have to ask.”
He strips and gets in bed beside me. I move closer, craving the feel of his warm skin against mine. His arms go around me, and I close my eyes, letting the world fall away until the only thing keeping me tethered to this earth is his touch as I float free in memories, losing myself in the recollections of my mother, of Peter, of Alex…
I’m safe in this place where dreams meet memories, where Alex and my mother share the same patio looking out toward the ocean. Where I can stand between them, holding each of their hands in mine.
Then I realize I’m holding nothing at all. I’m standing on the beach with my arms outstretched and my eyes closed as I listen to waves crash against the shore.
I hear someone behind me, and I turn to face Peter, my heart skipping a beat when I realize that I’m looking not only at him, but right down the barrel of a gun.
My heart begins to pound. I want to scream, I can’t. The pulse in my throat is too powerful.
I hear a click, but Peter’s hand hasn’t moved, and no bullet has been fired.
Terrified, I whirl around to see Devlin.
He’s just cocked the hammer of a revolver.
And as I stare—as I scream—he fires.”

Devlin Saint values trust

“I have secrets, Ellie. Hell, I have secrets inside secrets. I trust almost no one.” He takes my hand, then gently rubs his thumb over mine. “And yet over and over, I’ve trusted you enough to let you walk away. At the tidal pools. After the parking lot. After the gala. And once again, I’ll let you go after we get back to Laguna Cortez, trusting you to hold my secret close. But only after we have our fill of each other here first.”
It takes me a moment to understand what he’s saying, and when I do, a shiver runs through me.
He’s saying he wants me.”

“engaging, suspenseful and steamy with plenty of fantastic characters to love and hate. These Guardian Protectors are pure Alpha males and I love them already.” ~ Susan ~ Goodreads Review

“This book touched me on so many levels, the chemistry is intense, the passion is steamy and the banter is witty. Another sure sign of a special read is when you can’t stop reading but you don’t want the book to end, and that’s how I felt about The Invitation. I guess I do need to mention the most epic epilogue I have ever read……. it may only be the middle of January but The Invitation will be on my top reads of 2021.” –Thelma and Louise Book Blog

“The perfect read to kick off the new year!” – Goodreads Reviewer Sharon
“This was my first read of 2021 and I am glad my year started here. Hopefully, this year will be full of books I enjoy as much as I enjoyed this one.” – Goodreads Reviewer Laura

Gimme S’more the final book in the Hot Cakes Series was PERFECT!!! Sweet, funny, heart (and panty) melting. We got to know Ollie and Piper throughout the previous books in the series and I, for one, couldn’t wait for their story. Erin didn’t disappoint!!! But then again, she would never disappoint. – Amazon Reviewer

“WILDER is a love story, but it’s so much more than that. It’s about friendship, understanding, acceptance and forgiveness. It’s about family, be it by blood, or as members and wives of an MC Club. It is the story of one woman’s evolution and the man who is willing to stand by and love her – no matter what.” – Reading Is Our Satisfaction

“Madden-Mills masterfully handles the protagonists’ insecurities and traumas to produce a love story that’s equal parts tantalizing, gut-wrenching, and sweet.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

There are twists and turns in this story and will keep you guessing the motive until the very end. Totally a can’t put down book. – Amazon Reviewer

“Simply stunning in its story, its depth, its romance, and its world. I was hooked from the beginning and didn’t want to stop, didn’t stop, as the next, the next, and the next thing came to being. There were tears, there were laughs, there was sexiness and romance.” -Dar Gee Reads

Wow! And the plot thickens… What can I say! I am trying to wrap my mind around what happened in this book. What a perfect conclusion to Liam and Emma’s story. To say I love this story is an understatement. This book is simply phenomenal. – Amazon Reviewer

Preacher: WOW! Fantastic writing! I liked the twist and turns throughout the story! I liked how Preacher was gun shy about asking Laura out. It was a hot romance with lots of excitement. I really enjoyed their story! – Amazon Reviewer
I want to eat my weight in donuts – That’s how sweet this book is!
Loved it… love this couple.. love the story.. the whole world/series is AH-MAZING – Amazon Reviewer

Once again, Milly Taiden has brought us into the world of the Warwick Dragons. The character work is fantastic as always while the story line will keep you engaged. Milly Taiden has shown once again why she is a go to author and an instant purchase for all books. – Amazon Reviewer

“Two Souls Meant to be! 5 you will need a fan stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️” – Carolina Chic’s Read
“I loved this book so much, if you love single parent or hockey romances please look no further than Tore Brekken and Margot Delgado’s story. The chemistry is sizzling, the banter is witty and I highly recommend you one click this gem of a read. ” – Jackie, Goodreads Reviewer

Devlin Saint is no saint.

He doesn’t look like a saint at all. Instead, he’s a fallen angel. A man with power and poise and a dangerous edge.

Devlin Saint will be your anchor

The truth is, I don’t want to lie to him, even if it does make me vulnerable. Because Devlin Saint is the one person in all the world with whom I can be vulnerable.
