A big thank you for hosting me today and giving me the chance to show off my first full-length book! It’s also my first adventure into the bestselling sci-fi romance series 3013: The Series.

3013: MENDED

A scroll with exceptional abilities, Camille Brighton lived a life of wealth and privilege until tragedy changed everything. The gifts that had once made her special are suddenly a curse to be feared, and she finds herself a captive in her own home with a world of possibilities just beyond her reach. When the demons of her past return, though, forcing her to flee to the outer rim of Alliance territory, she soon realizes freedom isn’t exactly the adventure she’d thought it would be. Running from his own past on Helix, Tariq Navarra has spent the last nine years as a mechanical engineer on Beta Station 4. Life has proven the only person he can depend on is himself, and he’s built an impenetrable wall around his heart, wearing suspicion and distrust like a second skin. Then a slip of a woman carrying the scent of fresh rain and lavender turns his world upside down with just a smile. He’s never wanted anything or anyone more, and he’ll go to the ends of the universe to keep Cami safe. With danger lurking at every turn, he may just be forced to prove it—even if that means protecting the angel from himself. Betrayal left them broken. Can love see them mended?

EXCERPT
“Cami? Cami, look at me. Open your eyes and look at me.”Warm hands cradled her face, bringing some semblance of reality back to her. Prying her lids open, she stared up at Tariq through blurry eyes and moaned. Everything hurt. Her heart pounded and her temples throbbed, making her lightheaded, and each breath came in short, shallow pants until her stomach cramped with nausea. “Cami, focus,” Tariq ordered. “Look right here at me, only me.” He stroked her cheeks with his fingertips and petted her hair. “That’s it, angel. Deep breath. Good,” he praised when she complied. “Again. One more.” Staring into his amber eyes, Cami breathed in through her nose and out through her mouth, focusing solely on his voice. “Keep talking, please.” “I’m not going to let anything happen to you, remember?” Then he did the most remarkable thing. Tariq pressed his palm to the side of her neck, using his thumb under her chin to tilt her face up, and kissed her. When their lips met, everything in her head melted away, dissolving into a peace she hadn’t known in years. Her pulse accelerated once more, for a completely different reason this time, and Cami pressed closer, opening for him with a quiet whimper. The first glide of his tongue against hers sent a shiver down her spine, and the scrape of his fangs against her lower lip produced a lusty moan she didn’t know herself capable of making. “That’s better,” Tariq whispered against the corner of her mouth. “You’re okay now.”  “Better than okay.” Cami tried to sit up, but stopped when Tariq closed his eyes and groaned. Only then did she realize they were sitting in the middle of the hallway with her perched in Tariq’s lap. “How did I get here?” “I thought you were having a seizure or something, so I carried you out of the atrium.” He dropped his head back against the wall and groaned again. “Stop moving.” “Oh.” Cami held perfectly still. “Did I hurt you?” In response, he tucked her head under his chin and laughed. “No, angel, you didn’t hurt me.” A hard bulge behind his zipper dug into her backside, alerting her to the problem. Pushing away from his chest, Cami peeked up at him through her lashes, realization finally dawning. “Oops, sorry.” “Don’t apologize.” Sliding his arms around her midsection and behind her knees, Tariq stood, lifting her as easily as if she weighed nothing. “You need rest.” “I’m feeling better now.” The pain in her head had vanished, and only a warm tingle in her belly—remnants of their kiss—remained. “Why did you kiss me?” Though he looked straight ahead, Cami didn’t miss the faint smile or the way his voice gentled when he repeated his earlier assessment. “You talk too much.” Resting her head on his shoulder, Cami sighed in contentment. “It only seems that way because you barely talk at all. I’ll try to be less vocal, though.” Tariq pressed his lips to the top of her head as a satisfied rumbled vibrated his chest. “Don’t. I’ll get used to it.”

Spotlight on Moonlit Guardian by Crystal-Rain Love #Bodyguard #Gargoyle

MOONLIT GUARDIAN by  Crystal-Rain Love Blurb:Kimiko Lee has it all: Fame, money ... and a stalker. The multiracial actress-singer 
doesn't know who to trust as she receives threats and dodges bullets, especially when 
those closest to her become suspects. 

Her newest bodyguard, Draven Gregory, vows to keep her out of harm's way. Being a 
weregargoyle, he has a few tricks up his sleeve to keep her safe. 

As they quickly fall for each other, they realize their hearts may also be in danger. 
Can the woman the world sees as Hollywood royalty love a creature like him? 
Can he be with her without endangering his people? 

Excerpt: 
“OK. We have the script reading rescheduled for tomorrow. We’ll have to squeeze it in but the important thing is that they aren’t holding this against you.” “Yes, that’s clearly the important thing,” Draven murmured from his post at the door, making no effort to hide his disdain. “Yes, it is,” Kim said, turning toward him. “Kimiko isn’t just a person, Mr. Gregory, she’s a business. If she isn’t making money, her employees aren’t getting paid. That would include you.” “And you.” He looked at her pointedly. “It’s fine,” Kimiko said quickly, noticing the outrage in Kim’s eyes as her mouth opened to respond, and sensing things would get very ugly very quickly if she didn’t put a stop to this conversation. “I’m happy to do the script reading tomorrow. Right now, I just want to sleep so unless there’s anything absolutely important that needs to be gone over right now, can we call it a night?” “Make sure you go over the script,” Kimiko ordered, dropping the script on the coffee table in front of her before vacating the chair across from her. “And try not to stress. You don’t want to be all tired looking during your photo shoot tomorrow. This one’s for the upcoming album.” “I thought the last shoot was for the album.” “That was the regular album. This one is the deluxe version with the bonus tracks.” Kimiko rubbed her temples. She didn’t understand why they were doing the photo shoots before the tracks were even recorded or an album title was created, but whatever. She’d learned life gave her fewer headaches if she just went with the flow. Kim left, but not before spearing Draven with a hard glare. For his part, he did a great job of ignoring her obvious displeasure with him, remaining silent as she left the room. “You know, she’s the one who hired you.” He raised an eyebrow. “So you should be nice to her if you want to keep the job.”“So you’re telling me I work for her, not you?”“Something like that.” Kimiko leaned forward and picked the script up from the coffee table. She flipped through it, skimming only the highlighted lines she was supposed to memorize. She gave the script two minutes of her attention before tossing it back on the table. “Memorize the lines already?”“I don’t need to. The part is mine, even if I suck.” She noted the ever so slight judgment in his eyes. “I’m not being conceited. I just know that my performance doesn’t matter. Every movie I’ve been offered has been on behalf of the studio, not the directors. They never give me anything that takes great acting skill and even if I blow the weak lines they give me, they wouldn’t care because they will have earned back every dime they’ve spent making the movie and then some during the opening weekend. My fans will see any movie I’m in and I have a lot of fans.” “So, even if you put out bad work, your fans will still buy it?” “Movies? Yes. They love me for my music, for my persona. Even when I do badly in a movie they think the world of me. As long as I keep putting out music I’m in good shape.” “So why do movies at all?”“Why is anything done in this world?” She laughed. “Money. Fame. Being somebody.” Draven shook his head as he walked over to the balcony and closed the doors.“What’s with the head shake?” “Nothing.” “You obviously have an opinion.”“I wasn’t under the impression I was being paid for my opinion.”  He turned away from the balcony and stood straight, hands clasped behind his back, eyes forward. Again, she found his lack of focus on her annoying. “Share it anyway.” He shrugged, as much as his fierce protector stance would allow. “I just think it’s a sad life to have if all your needs are so material and being adored by strangers matters so much.” Kimiko sucked in a breath as if she’d been punched in the stomach. Immediately, her hackles raised, ready to strike back with any of the countless comebacks she had for so-called serious journalists who attacked her during interviews, ridiculing the quality of her music and acting, but the words didn’t come out. Draven wasn’t a journalist. He had no reason to bait her. He was simply a man speaking a truth she knew but did not want to admit to. “I did not mean to offend you. You asked my opinion.” Realizing she’d allowed her bruised feelings to show, Kimiko shook the hurt off and stood from the loveseat, wrapping the robe she’d changed into after her shower tighter around her.  “I’m ready for bed.” “Good night.” He didn’t move from his post.Kimiko stared at him for several minutes until he raised an eyebrow in question, seeming otherwise oblivious as to why she hadn’t moved. “This is the point where you leave the room.” He frowned. “My job is to ensure your safety.”“Right. You can do that outside the door.” “I could.” He nodded as if considering the option. “I could leave you exposed to whoever may enter the room through the balcony and kidnap you from your bed.” “Seriously?” Kimiko laughed. “We’re on the twelfth floor. Who’s going to kidnap me? Batman? Leave the room, now. I’m not sleeping with you watching me like some weirdo.” “It is my job.” “A job I could have ended with one phone call.” “You said Kim hired me.”She folded her arms over her chest. “That doesn’t mean I can’t fire you. I’m a superstar. I get what I want.”“Do you want to get hurt? Killed? You tried to stop me from performing my job correctly earlier today and you were nearly shot.” He stepped closer until he loomed over her. “Settle down, princess, and allow me to keep you alive to make your bad movies.” Kimiko’s jaw dropped. Not even Kim would dare speak to her in such a way and she was family. “Nothing to say? Good. Sleep well.”“Who the hell do you think you are?” Kimiko asked, gathering her wits. “Draven Gregory, bodyguard to a beautiful, spoiled superstar who hates all the things she’s supposed to love about her life, and man who has no intention of leaving her unguarded. Any more questions?”

Excerpt of REINING MEN Rated ADULT HOT GET THE FAN AND GRAB YER PARTNER


“This lower lip is as ripe as a juicy peach. And this upper one”—he dragged his thumb over the rounded edges—“is a man’s wet dream.”
His dirty words spiked her desire. She wrapped her fingers around his strong wrist. Wide, sprinkled with light hairs, warm from the sun. Damn, she wanted to touch his every inch. For a week, Jack was hers to worship.
And she planned to take total advantage and make the big fee worth it.
His lashes lowered over smoldering eyes the color of sea glass. As a child she’d gathered the remnants from the beach and kept them in a little wooden box her parents had given her. What had happened to that collection?
Who cared? Now she had a new kind of sea glass to admire.
Jack tipped closer until the brim of his hat bumped her forehead. With a warm chuckle, he nudged it up. “Hat on or off, Lissy?”
Her mind bounced around the question. What did she want her first kiss to be like? He was allowing her to choose her path. Her heart swelled with the knowledge of her own power.
“On,” she whispered, her voice a stranger’s.
He angled his head, nose brushing hers. She filled her lungs with his scent—leather, man, hay. All the things she adored clinging to one perfect cowboy.

#Spotlight on Nina Crespo #Contest #NewRelease

Naughty Little Wishes Birthday Dare (novella) by Nina Crespo
Opposites attract. Enemies ignite...
There's nothing personal stylist Tabitha Drake loves more than pissing off Andrew Bode. He’s uptight, he refuses to agree with her on anything, and she loathes the hideous brown suits and red power ties he wears. The man even hates ice cream. How can her best friend work for a man who hates ice cream? But the absolute worst thing about Drew? He’s sexy as hell, and she's totally and ridiculously attracted to him.
Military contractor Andrew Bode is convinced he and Tab will never get along. Unfortunately, the infuriating—and sinfully tempting—stylist is his ticket to a major account. The only way to get what he wants is to agree to Tab's terms: a style makeover. However, Drew has a few terms of his own, most of which involve her naked in his bed. But neither of them are prepared when their lust-fueled hostility turns into something altogether unexpected...

Excerpt:             Tab yanked the sleeves of her extra-large sweatshirt and trudged downstairs. Coffee and Fruit Loops. The only sensible things in the midst of a week living in insanity. She’d expected her deal with Drew would place her in uncomfortable territory, but she hadn’t anticipated it dropping her into the hot zone. Not even Bode-Wynn’s golden connections had been able find a hotel not taken over by the convention or spring break. She should have waited until Drew’s assistant had confirmed everything before canceling her reservations.            Morning sun glared off highly polished marble and steel in Drew’s kitchen. Not staying in a hotel should have rated as an enjoyable experience, but his stick-up-the-butt tendencies stretched way beyond impossible. Like yesterday when she’d taken a towel from the linen closet to dry her hair, causing the weekly housekeeper to freak out. At first, she’d thought the woman inhaled too much pine cleaner until she’d explained. Only blue towels, not green ones, belonged in the upstairs guest room. Why? Because Drew wanted order.The list didn’t end there. No dishes left in the sink. Pillows properly spaced on the couch. The thermostat set at precisely frigid-ass cold. Throw in his other quirks about no TVs in the bedroom and the evils of junk food, and she existed in the equivalent of Siberia. Alone. He left early. Came home late. When he was there, he kept to himself and barely spoke. The beautifully decorated house felt unlived in and unloved. More than ever she needed the homey touches she used to make long trips bearable. Her Cinderella blanket, Dallas Cowboys sweatshirt, and comfort food. Two more weeks and then she would head for Virginia and a hotel room. She couldn’t wait.             Tab opened the top cabinet. Beans, brown rice, organic peanut butter. Where was it? She searched through other cabinets, top and bottom. Sadist! He wouldn’t.            “What’s wrong with you?”            Keeping her back turned from him, she gripped marble. “Where are my Fruit Loops?”            “You’re joking.”            Spoon, bowl, those words matched. Joking didn’t fit anywhere in the scenario.         She’d endured his house rules, but messing with her cereal went too far.“No. I’m not.” She whirled around to face him, and her breath hitched.            Drops of water slid into the divide of his pecs, traveled over the ridges of his abdomen, melted into the soft, downy looking hairs leading like a silken arrow into his short, square-cut swim trunks.            “I want my treat.” Prickles surged into her scalp. “I mean cereal. It was here yesterday.” Damn, she sounded mental.            He took the towel from his shoulder and wrapped it around his waist. “I put it where it belonged.”            “And where’s that exactly?”            He walked in and opened the cabinet near her head. His closeness tempted her to touch, stroke, follow the drops of water with her tongue to the bulge under his towel. She should look away, but only a blind nun could stare and not lose every scrap of sense.

Dougal Owens has served on the front line of The Dragon Wars for sixteen years. The last thing this Alpha werewolf expects is his mate to drop in with a plan to end the war. Together, they will battle to save the Wolves or die trying.
Hell’s Playground by Cara Carnes
The Quadrant Alpha once thought Mira’s death was the worst thing that could have happened. Learning she lives, and worse, survived torture and purgatory gives Adrik a chance to save Redemption and his mate.
Odd Wolf by Virginia Nelson
Dara is Alpha and used to taking control of the situation when it goes swirly. A rogue on her turf means a fight, and she’s ready to take him on. A woman with no plans to be tamed and a rogue wolf with no plans to stick around shouldn’t have more than a brief meeting to establish boundaries and be done. However, when Dara meets Lynwood, the call to mate might drown out logic altogether.
