Praise for Scarred by You
"Holy crap this is a GREAT book! The overall feel was kind of edgy with a dangerous overtone, and I just kept waiting for Clark and Dayna to get together AND for shit to get ugly with their business interests. And both happened in spectacular fashion." The Romance Reviews (5* TOP PICK)
"Scarred by You is a soul searing, heart scarring story of love, loss, pain, hurt, deceit and lies. Everything about this book was explosive. Everything about this book was intense. Everything about Clark and Dayna was raw, passionate & powerful. [I]f I could I'd rate Scarred by You so much higher than 5 stars." Bookalicious Babes Blog (5*)
***
Their past will become their future. Their scars will be reopened.
Clark Layton has the world at his feet. He is the CEO of one of the largest oil companies in the world and he has a fiancée most men would kill for. Then why, the night before his wedding, is he still thinking about everything he lost when he walked out on Dayna Cross?
Dayna didn’t intend to take the helm of Subsea Petroleum. But events beyond her control left her no choice. And she can handle it, mostly. She can juggle the long hours, the chauvinistic men, and a broken heart. What she can’t deal with is Clark Layton swanning back into her life and threatening to break down her walls.
They are rival CEOs and they are in a dogfight for a lucrative new pipeline. But as truths of their past begin to surface, business won’t be the biggest battle they enter into.

A NEW STANDALONE ROMANCE
~~~AUTHOR ANNOUNCEMENT~~~
You wonderful readers have been calling out for more words. And I have written them but I just can't get them to you quickly enough through the traditional route. For this reason, and after lots of kicks up the butt from my indie author friends, I have made the decision to become a hybrid author. In other words, I am going to bring you an indie title between traditional deals.
So...I am ecstatic to tell you that my new standalone novel, Scarred by You, will be released on 24 October 2016.
I can't tell you what Scarred by You is about, just yet. But I can tell you it is a dark, angsty, passionate romance. And I can tell you that you are going to get ALL the feels with this one.
*If you are a BLOGGER/REVIEWER and would like to support the reveal of the blurb and/or cover, or if you would be interested in reviewing an ARC of Scarred by You, please use this form to express your interest: https://goo.gl/forms/srqynBtY1Qbe0ego1
**To make sure you get all Scarred by You news first, sign up to my newsletter www.lauracarterauthor.com/sign-up and follow me on social media (www.facebook.com/lauracarterauthor; www.twitter.com/lcarterauthor; www.instagram.com/lauracarterauthor).

Birthdays Vs. Publication Days. And A Huge Thank You!
Let me start this post by telling you that I am an absolute dream for the marketing profession. If there's an excuse to celebrate, eat cake and drink champagne, count me in!
I adore Valentine's Day. I'm all in for Easter weekend. I make my birthday last for at least a week. I drag out the birthdays of people I love. Halloween? Yep, let's make graveyard cakes. Christmas and New Year, well, let's call that a celebratory month. But do you know what I love perhaps more than all those things? PUBLICATION DAY!!!
With the release of VENGEFUL LOVE: BLACK DIAMONDS on Monday, I found myself wondering whether I prefer birthdays or publication days. Here's why I love publication days so much.
1 - After weeks, months even, of teasing you readers, authors finally get to give you what you've been waiting for, a new story.
2 - There is, at last, something to show for the hard work of everyone involved in a book release. From agents and editors to marketing, art and PR, a book release is a huge joint effort.
3 - The selfless support of people in the book world who do it because they love books as much as you.
4 - The love shown by friends and family who want to help you enjoy your big day.
5 - Hearing from readers and reviewers who share your love of the book. There really is no better feeling than knowing you enjoy my stories and characters. But the reviews are also incredibly important to authors, whether they're on sites like Amazon and Goodreads, or on your own blogs and social media. They help spread the word better than anything else and I know I don't only speak for myself when I say authors are truly, immensely grateful to everyone who takes the time to read and review our books.
6 - (Kind of 5(b)) Reviews keep coming days and weeks after publication, which makes the celebration last much longer than one day.
7 - With series, like VENGEFUL LOVE, the final publication day means you get to see all your babies together! So sweet!
8 - Champagne. Cake. Cocktails. Chocolate. Dinners.
9 - Champagne. Cake. Cocktails. Chocolate. Dinners.
10 - Champagne. Cake. Cocktails. Chocolate. Dinners.
So, I hear you saying, yes, Laura, but you can have week long celebrations, champagne and cake for birthdays too.
I guess that means the best thing about publication days is you...readers, reviewers, family and friends. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for your support, yet again, for the release of VENGEFUL LOVE: BLACK DIAMONDS. You are amazing and I am more grateful to you than I can express in words.
Lovels and huggles,
Laura xxxxxxxx

Praise for Vengeful Love
"I missed a deadline because I couldn't rip myself away from this immense tale of passion, angst and corruption." - Jodi Ellen Malpas, #1 New York Times bestselling author of This Man and One Night (Vengeful Love)
"This is such a wild and emotional series; the roller coaster ride of insanity is gut wrenching and sensual and nerve wracking all at once. Ms. Carter's writing style is absolutely brilliant. This is a series that will stick with me for along time." - The Romance Reviews TOP PICK (Vengeful Love: Black Diamonds)
"The final installment in Carter's "Vengeful Love" series (after Vengeful Love and Deception) continues to engage readers with both passionate erotica and a story line steeped in mystery and revenge." - Library Journal (Vengeful Love: Black Diamonds)
"[T]he suspense of the story made me eager to get to the end, to discover how everything would turn out for Scarlett and Gregory. I would recommend Vengeful Love: Black Diamonds by Laura Carter, if you enjoy romantic suspense mixed with plenty of steamy romance." - Harlequin Junkie (Vengeful Love: Black Diamonds)
