Dangerous by R.G. Alexander
Do you like it Dangerous?
Brady Finn has been a cop and a Marine, but he’s never been in a situation as dangerous as this one. Waking up naked in the bed of a man he’s wanted for months—with no memory of how he got there—was only the beginning.
Rope Dom Ken Tanaka knows kink isn’t Brady’s scene, but he still can’t resist the tall, redheaded Boy Scout. When their search for a missing person requires Brady to go above and beyond the call of duty, they’ll both do what needs to be done for the mission—and give in to the undeniable passion between them.
Will their explosive chemistry last once the job is over? Or will taking that chance be more dangerous than either man is willing to risk?
Warning: Explicit male/male sexy times. Voyeurism with a touch of noncon, role playing, rope. And, once again, very serious about the graphic gay sex. I’m not sure why you don’t believe me… Also? An Evil League of Evil! Good kink vs scary villain kink (you’ve been warned), Finn Club rules and the aftereffects of The Great Rumming of 2015. I SAID RUMMING. Dirty minds.

Buccaneer Beauty by Viola Russell
SYNOPSIS
Buccaneer Beauty
is the story of Grace, Grainne, O’Malley, the beautiful daughter of a powerful
Irish chieftain and a conventional mother.
At the age of eleven, Grainne cuts her hair and sneaks aboard her
father’s galley ship, determined to follow a life at sea and to seek the
company of a handsome Scottish gallowglass, Bruce Donnel. Grainne proves herself a budding warrior when
Spanish marauders invade her father’s vessel, but her parents have other plans
for her. Though she proves an able
sailor, Grainne is forced to marry Donal O’Flaherty, another powerful
chieftain. Though enamored of Bruce Donnel, she nonetheless obeys her parents
and proves an able helpmate to her violent and rash husband, continuing her own
adventures at sea while raising children and supervising her husband’s
home. Her heart, however, still belongs
to a handsome Scot who she can never have.
Upon Donal’s death by ambush, Grainne continues her
adventures along the Irish coast and Europe, secretly battling England’s
growing power in her country. Alternately
sleeping with the devil or manipulating the British authorities to her own
ends, Grainne is determined to save her family and people from the tyranny
imposed upon them by England. To make her family stronger, she weds Richard
Bourke, one of the most powerful men in the region, but she can never forget
Bruce Donnel and the passion he incited within her soul. Richard proves Grainne’s most stalwart
supporter and she his, their minds and bodies uniting in an almost mystical
union. Together, they faced the English with no fear—with only audacity and
boundless courage. Still, the shadow of
a youthful gallowglass intrudes on Grainne’s peace.

Pure Lust by M.S. Parker and Cassie Wild
“I’d always wanted my life to be a fairy-tale. Romance and roses, and a white knight sweeping me off of my feet. But at twenty-two, I’d come to realize that I’d been lying to myself; none of that existed.”
Gabriella Baine has a way with words. She dreams of one day becoming a staff writer for the biggest TV shows. But dreams don’t pay rent and during a job interview at one of the largest model agencies in the country, she meets fashion photographer, Flynn McCreary. Sparks fly and there’s an intense, visceral pure lust that culminates in the hottest sex Gabriella’s ever experienced. Soon afterwards, Flynn’s gone and once again she realize that her wish for Prince Charming will never come true.
Then she meets the handsome, romantic and mysterious Edward, a man who seems to have it all but is also keeping secrets that could destroy any chance of Gabriella ever finding her happy ever after.
You don’t want to miss the first book in M.S. Parker and Cassie Wild’s newest sexy and twisted collaboration, Pure Lust.
When Gabriella Baine began her whirlwind romance with rich, handsome Edward Bouvier, she never expected for her one-night stand, photographer Flynn McCreary, to make an appearance. She wants to put everything behind her, but Flynn can’t seem to stop playing things hot and cold. To make matters worse, she’s broke and needs a good-paying job – like modeling for Flynn again. Will Gabriella be able to resist temptation or will she lose everything?
Gabriella Baine is going to marry the man of her dreams…if her monster-in-law-to-be doesn’t drive her away first. As she struggles to deal with wedding plans, she’s also beginning to realize that, no matter how much she tries, she can’t stay away from her fiancé’s younger brother, Flynn McCreary. He’s arrogant, rude and lashes out at everyone around him, but that doesn’t stop her from going back to him for work. When the unthinkable happens, it forces Gabriella to make the biggest decision of her life.
It was almost here. My wedding day. The happiest day of my life. Or at least that’s what it should have been, but when Cody brought news that something bad had happened to Edward, I felt my world crashing down.
Twenty-two year-old Gabriella Baine is just about to get her happily ever after with her very own rich and handsome Prince Charming, Edward Bouvier, despite his mother’s attempts to tear them apart. Now, with the news that Edward’s life is in danger, Gabriella knows that she could lose everything.
Will this be the end, or only the beginning?

The Gray Ghost Inn
The Oncoming Storm Series Book #3
By- Jay Mims
Genre- Mystery, Detective, Cozy
Dan Landis had a simple plan. Drive to a quaint bed and breakfast, spend New Year’s with his best friend Doc, and enjoy a much-needed vacation. Except, he didn’t account for everyone’s favorite klutzy genius Abbey.
Now there’s a body in the library, snow all around, and a mansion full of suspects. Dan must call on his best detective skills, and his worst Hercule Poirot impersonation, to solve this latest mystery. However, the awful truth looms overhead everyone, whatever the answer, nothing will ever be the same.
EXCERPT
This wasn’t the first time Dan Landis had found himself under a bed while a couple was talking. Which said more about the kind of life he led, then anything else. At least they were still talking.
“I’m all twitterpated Professor,” Betsey confessed breathlessly.
“I see,” said Professor Brown. He sounded impatient, and a bit flustered.
There was the creak of the bed springs. Because of course they did. Dan once again wondered what it was like to have a normal life. Dentists never had to hide under a bed while their patients did the horizontal polka just above their heads. They also had better health insurance.
“It’s just that, well of course, I am deeply sorry for my brother’s passing.” Betsey bounced once on the bed, “Oh my this is a bit more squeaky then I realized. I hope it has not inconvenienced any of our guests.”
Dan had to bite his fist to keep from laughing.
“Well,” she continued, “Obviously, I do not want to pull you away from whatever previous engagements you were involved in.”
Dan’s shoulders began to shake with the suppressed laughter.
“I believe you said…” Professor Brown paused. There was the rustling of clothes. Dan imagined Leroy was crossing his arms. Or patting his head and rubbing his stomach. “You were in need of an extra set of eyes.”
“Yes,” Betsey said, and the bed gave another squeak as she stood again. Dan couldn’t help but notice she had immaculate sneakers. She probably scrubbed them with a toothbrush. “I am so sorry, Professor, I was hoping to find my brother’s receipt book. In all the rush, I forgot that he had borrowed it. Naturally, I want to make sure all of our guests have a receipt for their stay at the Gray Ghost Inn. Though, obviously, I would also like for them to sign the guest book. Have you signed it yet?”
“I am afraid that I have had other things occupying my attention between check-in and the present,” Professor Brown said. Dan buried his head in the expensive rug. He didn’t dare even choke back a laugh, for fear of coughing. Instead he pictured 99 red balloons.
“Yes, naturally,” Betsey said. She took a step closer to those big boots, her feet pointed out. “It’s been quite the reunion, hasn’t it, Professor?”
“Leroy,” the old dog responded, still suave as ever. “Betsey, I believe we’ve known each other long enough for you to call me Leroy.”
“Didn’t we just,” she replied. And an additional rustling made Dan think that one dainty hand was resting on Leroy’s well-toned chest.
Go Leroy, Dan thought.
The big boots took a step back. “I do appreciate seeing you again, Betsey. You were a friend when all other friends deserted me.”
“I wondered if you’d come back,” she took a step closer, her voice dropping to just above a whisper. “I knew after everything, that maybe you’d never come back. Obviously, you always cared a lot about Melody. And David.”
“And you,” Leroy didn’t walk away this time. “I care…cared, for all three of you, very much. The Butlers took in the lonely boy, with an unusual accent, and made him part of the family. For that, I’m forever grateful.”
“And now you’re back,” Betsey said, abruptly stepping away, and walking across the room. The big boots pivoted, Doctor Brown obviously wanted to keep an eye on her. Or he was admiring that well-toned butt. Betsey obviously worked out. “It’s such a strange thing. To be so happy and sad at the same time. I’m all twitterpated.”
“So you said,” he replied.
“Do you…if you had to do it all over again…do you think about what might have been?”
“I try not to reflect on the past,” he spoke the words aloud, and Dan knew he was lying. He wondered if Ms. Twitterpated knew as well. “To be honest, I find the past a difficult area. I have often found myself preferring to simply avoid the problem areas, and concentrate on those things I am more confident in.”
That’s what she said, Dan thought.
Racing the Storm
The Oncoming Storm Series Book #4
By- Jay Mims

However, it didn’t take long for her dream to turn into a nightmare. Everything from the roommate from hell to her asshole of a boss, contributed to her pain and she’d just about given up. That was…until she ran into devilish handsome, Dominic Snow.

Grace (The Marriage Market Book 2) by Stevie MacFarlane
Title: Grace (The Marriage Market Book Two)
Author: Stevie MacFarlane
Publisher: Blushing Books
Blurb:
Grace Wentworth and Effie Lane were cautiously optimistic when their dear friend Amelia decided to travel west to become the bride of a man she’d never met. Despite their misgivings they were stunned when Amelia wrote informing them she’d made a dreadful mistake in marrying Mr. Jordon.
Determined to rescue her dear friend from the clutches of a scoundrel, Effie made plans to leave for Seattle immediately. Grace would follow when she could get away from the ever watchful eye of her mother. Everything changed when Grace was forced to accept the proposal of a cruel and violent man. Suddenly her mother’s wrath could not compare with what she would face as Horace Remington’s wife. Throwing all caution aside, she fled with Effie even knowing her mother would most likely hire a Pinkerton man to find her. However, she never expected to fall for him as they played a game of cat and mouse from Chicago to Seattle.
For Jonah Blackthorn, apprehending a runaway socialite seemed like an easy assignment. Locating two young, inexperienced women would take him no time at all and the five thousand dollar reward offered by the frantic fiancé would go a long way as Jonah had plans to leave the agency to begin a new chapter in his life.
What he didn’t plan on was being outwitted by the brats or the fact that Effie Lane wasn’t relying on her wits alone to get them safely to Seattle. He also didn’t expect to come to care for the redhead traveling with her gun-toting friend. When he finally caught up with them he was going to give Grace the spanking of a life time or kiss her senseless. Maybe both.
Amazon | Blushing Books | Barnes & Noble
Excerpt
By the time their train neared the station in Omaha, both Effie and Grace were convinced Jonah Blackthorn had more than a passing interest in Grace. Each time they left their compartment he magically appeared full of compliments as well as questions. No matter when they went to the dining car and they tried multiple unusual times, there he was.
At first Grace was flattered, but as the train took them further west she began to see his questions about their background and destination as much more than curiosity. Despite his good looks and charming manner, he’d become a prying annoyance and she’d told so many stories she feared she’d never be able to keep them straight.
“You were right all along, Effie,” Grace whispered, nodding as Jonah approached their table and pulled out a chair.
“Well ladies, we should be in Omaha in a couple of hours. I take it you’ll want to go directly to the fort to see your father, Miss Brown,” he remarked, pouring coffee from the pot the porter brought to the table.
“Yes, I imagine so,” Grace replied, watching Effie for guidance.
“Good. I hope you’ll allow me to escort you. I’d very much like to meet your father and I have business there.”
Effie gave a tiny nod and Grace replied.
“It’s very kind of you to offer, Mr. Blackthorn.”
“Please, Miss Brown. I thought we were beyond the formalities. Don’t you remember you agreed to call me, Jonah?” he asked, smiling as he gently teased her.
“Of course, Jonah,” she murmured.
“That’s much better. Miss Crumb, will you be traveling to Fort Omaha also?”
Effie narrowed her eyes before forcing herself to relax.
“Oh my yes, I wouldn’t dream of abandoning my dear friend at this stage of the journey. Now if you’ll excuse us, we have some packing to do.” Laying down her napkin, Effie rose from her seat.
“Certainly,” Jonah replied as he stood. “I don’t want you two ladies to worry about a thing. I’ll arrange for a carriage and meet you inside the station where you can wait out of the hot sun.”
“Thank you.”
“What are we going to do?” Grace hissed as they made their way back to their compartment. “I think you were right all along, he’s a Pinkerton,” she continued sadly.
“Whether he is or he isn’t, he’s showing entirely too much interest in our plans for my peace of mind,” Effie said as they closed the door behind them. “For all the talking he’s done in the last few days, he’s told us very little about himself. I don’t trust a man who looks as good as he does and is a smooth talker besides. We need to get rid of him.”
“What do you mean ‘get rid of him’?” Grace gasped, grabbing Effie’s arm.
“Relax, I’m not going to shoot him, just arrange for a little delay,” Effie said with a laugh.
Author Interview
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
When I got my first royalty check.
If someone made a movie of your life would it be a drama, a comedy, a romantic-comedy, action film, or science fiction?
Definitely, a romantic-comedy.
Author Bio:
Best-selling author, Stevie MacFarlane, lives in Upstate New York with her husband of many years. They have a huge, close-knit family and frequently host twenty-five or more guests for dinner on weekends and holidays. She currently has 16 books out, including two very popular series, Sugar Babies and The O’Malley’s. To explain her writing preference she used a quote from her Amazon Author’s Page.
“All of my books are romances. I like a lot of conversation, a bit of humor, some fairly hot sex and spanking. If you’re into whips and chains, these probably aren’t for you. However, if you’ve ever watched a movie where the leading lady is being a perfect bitch and you feel like yelling at the leading man, “Oh my God, spank her you fool!” these might be right up your alley.”
