Tina is an Amazon and international bestselling novelist in erotic, paranormal, contemporary and historical romance for traditional publishers and indie. Booklist, Publisher’s Weekly,Romantic Times and numerous online sites have praised her work. Three of her erotic novels (Freeing the Beast, Come and Get Your Love, and Wicked Takeover) were Readers’ Choice Award winners. Another three (Adored, Lush Velvet Nights, and Deep, Dark, Delicious) were named finalists in the EPIC competition. Sensual Stranger, her erotic contemporary romance, was chosen Book of the Year at the French review site Blue Moon reviews. The Golden Nib Award at Miz Love Loves Books was created specifically for her erotic romance Lush Velvet Nights. Two of her titles (The Yearning and Deep, Dark, Delicious) received an Award of Merit in the RWA Holt Medallion competition. Take Me Away and Adored both won second place in the NEC RWA contest (different years). Tina is featured in the Novel & Short Story Writer’s Market. Before penning romances, she worked at a major Hollywood production company in Story Direction.

Wren hails from the frozen tundra of Wisconsin where beer and cheese are their own food groups. But a cowboy swept her off her feet and carried her below the Mason-Dixon line to Texas, where she promptly lost all tolerance for cold and snow. Fueled by coffee, dreams, and men in kilts, Wren promises to bring you laughter, sexy fun time, and action that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The easiest way to her heart is anything to do with the Green Bay Packers, Doctor Who, or Joss Whedon.

 

Teresa Noelle Roberts started writing stories in kindergarten and she hasn’t stopped yet. A prolific author of short erotica, she’s also a published poet and fantasy writer—but BDSM-spiced contemporaries, hot paranormals, and sexy science fiction romances have become her favorite things to write.

She shares her Massachusetts home with her husband, a Leo in law enforcement, and three cats. She and her husband would visit New Orleans all the time if she could get the dang teleporter to work.

 

 I write romance: m/f, m/m, and v/h, where the h is for human and the v is for vampire … or sometimes demon … I lean more towards funny than angst. When I’m not writing I take care of tiny premature babies or teenagers, depending on whether I’m at home or at work. My husband is a soul of patience, my dog’s cuteness is legendary, and we share the homestead with three ferrets. Who steal things. Because they’re brats.

So I think this is the part where I’m supposed to say something super cool, win you over, and make you my life-long superfan…OR wait, is that how I am about my anime collection?

Probably.

Basically, I’m an author, blogger, geek, and villain lover (Joker IS MINE!). There shouldn’t be any surprise then that I tend to love my heroes a bit broken, all messed up, and in need of someone who understands them just the way they are.

Hell, my heroines are right there with them. You see, love is nice, it’s sweet. It can be all rainbows and glowing stars. And then it can be dark, twisted, hurtful, and feel so damn good you have to scream about it. So I write like that. From one side of the spectrum to the other, because that’s real. That’s life. And that’s what we crave–delving into a fantasy world or not.

Erzabet Bishop is an award-winning and bestselling author who loves to write naughty stories. She is the author of Lipstick, Crave, Snow (Three Times More Lucky Box Set), Malediction (upcoming-A Wicked Halloween Box Set), Map of Bones (upcoming-A Wicked Affair Box Set), Sanguine Shadows (Vampire Bites Box Set), The Science of Lust, Wicked for You, Heart’s Protector, Burning for You, Red Hot (upcoming), Bayou Shadows (upcoming-Nola Naughty Nine) Hedging Her Bets (Alpha Fever Box Set), Cat’s Got Her Tongue (Alpha Heat Box Set), Arcane Imaginarium: Spirit Board, Holidays in Hell, Mallory’s Mark (upcoming),The Devil’s Due (upcoming), Charity Benshaw’s Enchanted Paddle Emporium (upcoming), Sigil Fire, Glitter Lust (upcoming), Written on Skin, Club Beam, Pomegranate, A Red Dress for Christmas, The Black Magic Café, Fantasies in Red, Sweet Seductions, Holiday Cruise, Fetish Fair, Temptation Resorts: Jess, Temptation Resorts: Marnie, Taming the Beast, The Erotic Pagans Series: Beltane Fires, Samhain Shadows and Yuletide Temptation along with being a contributor to many anthologies. She lives in Texas with her husband, furry children and can often be found lurking in local bookstores. She loves to bake, make naughty crochet projects and watch monster movies.

When she’s not plotting ways to sneak her latest shoe purchase past her partner, Amanda writes sexy, snarky romance and urban fantasy. She likes her heroines smart and unafraid to make mistakes, and her heroes strong enough to take them on.

If she’s not writing, she’s reading, drinking hot chocolate, and trying not to destroy her house with her newest DIY project. She lives in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, and no, it really doesn’t rain that much.






I write a variety of different kinds of romance for Entangled Publishing, Evernight Publishing, and M&M Publishing. I’m an Oregon Ducks fan. I’m a donut and pastry addict (pretty much any carbs, really). I like cats. I’m terrified of balloons. When I’m not writing you’ll find me in a college classroom teaching English, and of course, wrangling my family.

Kate Richards divides her time between Los Angeles and the High Sierras. She would gladly spend all her days in the mountains, but she’d miss the beach…and her very supportive husband’s commute would be three hundred miles. Wherever she is, she loves to explore all different kinds of relationships in her stories. She doesn’t believe one-size-fits-all, and whether her characters live BDSM, ménage, GLBT, spanking, or any other kind of lifestyle, it’s the love, the joy in one another, that counts.

#ExcerptReveal Pennies by @PepperWinters with #TRSOR

 

 

 

 

 

Excerpt

 

“Do you always oppose the man in your bed or just me?” My hand lashed up, looping around her throat. “You just made me break the no touching rule so soon. Don’t make me break the other rules keeping me in line tonight.”

Her eyes locked onto mine, pooling with panicked uncertainty.

“Ah, that’s intrigued you.” Loosening my fingers, I didn’t threaten to throttle her, merely held softly, trapping her mind in her body rather than flying free. “I have many laws that run my life.” I bared my teeth. “Want to know a few?”

I waited for her to nod, to blink—to do something that could be a signal for yes.

But she was too good.

Or too terrified.

She’d gone iceberg white, her eyes as complex as snowflakes.

“You don’t like your neck being touched?” I removed more of my weight but didn’t withdraw my fingers. “Does he strangle you…is that why you’re looking at me as if I’ve grown horns?”

She didn’t respond in any way, but her pulse gushed like a riptide beneath my thumb. “Don’t focus on where I’m holding you. Focus on why I’m holding you.” My thumb caressed the side of her neck, tangling with the escaped hair I’d secured. “Focus on my questions.”

“At 18 I had pennies, but money didn’t make me bold.At 19 I had dollars, but it didn’t dull the pain of being sold. At 20 I had hundreds, but then I met him and was found. At 21 I had thousands, but all I wanted was to be bound.”

“At 23 I had dollars, but life changed and made me rich. At 25 I had hundreds, but it wasn’t enough to stop my killing itch. At 27 I had thousands, but my reputation didn’t set me free. At 29 I had millions, but I met her and could finally see.”

Tasmin was killed on her 18th birthday. She had everything planned out. A psychology degree, a mother who pushed her to greatness, and a future anyone would die for. But then her murderer saved her life, only to sell her into a totally different existence.

Elder went from penniless to stinking rich with one twist of fate. His lifetime of crime and shadows of thievery are behind him but no matter the power he now wields, it’s not enough. He has an agenda to fulfil and he won’t stop until it’s complete.

But then they meet.

A beaten slave and a richly dressed thief. Money is what guided their separate fates. Money is what brought them together. And money is ultimately what destroys them.

She was poor.

He was rich.

Together…they were bankrupt.

His to Punish by @DorisOConnor #TheCleanersSeries #LIVE

 

Thanks so

much for having me on your blog today with my new release His to Punish, book

two of my dark romance series The Cleaners. This is the story of Ren’s second

in command Ty Mason. Ever since I wrote Book one in the series, His Prize, I’ve

been itching to tell Ty’s story.
 


Ty seemed

much softer than Ren, when we first get to know him, and to an extent that is

certainly true. Ty though, like all of the cleaners to be fair, has many

layers. He’s just as deadly as Ren; ruthlessly protective of those he cares

about and deeply loyal.
 
I had great

fun unravelling the truth behind who is Ty Mason, and there were a few surprises

in store, I tell you. Subsequently this story is much longer than the first

book in this series. It has many twists and turns as my too-feisty-for-her-own-good

heroine goes looking for revenge… Which places Ty in somewhat of a dilemma.
 
Ren is like

a brother to him, and he will do anything to protect his family, but what is he

to do when the one woman who gets under his skin seems determined to threaten

that family.

Well, you’ll

have to read the book to find out what happens, I’m afraid.[image error]
 

 
 
Blurb:
 
Revenge or love…either choice will sacrifice her

freedom. 
 
Dance teacher Jeanette MacArthur has one thing on her

mind when she auditions for a job at La Masquerade—revenge. She

couldn’t protect her sister from the criminals she now seeks employment with,

but she can ensure that justice prevails. 
 
If only her body wouldn’t melt at the touch of one of

them. Ty Mason, second-hand man of the Cleaners, oozes dominance, aggression,

and danger. He stands for everything she ought to despise, yet this unwanted

attraction threatens to ruin her. 
 
Ty can’t take his eyes off the new dancer, not least

because he senses the threat she represents. Only one thing for it—claim her

for his own, and torture the secrets out of her—if need be. 
Her unwilling submission, however, means he discovers

more than her secrets. His heart and their future are on the line.

 
Be Warned: BDSM, forced

seduction, rimming, spanking, sex toys
 

 
18 + Excerpt:
 
Ty’s hands went to his

belt, and she jumped when he spoke again.

“I said strip, girl, now.”

Jeanette complied with

shaking hands, and another one of these deep, dark growls rumbled from Ty’s

chest, when she stood before him naked. Try as she might she couldn’t bring

herself to look at him, had to fight the insane urge to sink to her knees, in

fact. Lord only knew what was happening to her. She was losing the plot,

because she could swear she could feel Ty’s intense gaze like a physical touch,

as he ran it over her naked body.

She jumped again when he

cracked the belt through the air like a whip, the resulting snap far too loud

in the quiet room. He stepped around her, running one finger along her skin.

From the tip of her nose, around her mouth, down her neck, and along her

collarbone into the valley between her breasts, he continued the silent

exploration, the contrast of his much paler flesh next to hers a heady

aphrodisiac indeed. When he cupped one of her breasts in his hand and lifting

it, bent his head to suck her hard nipple into his mouth, Jeanette couldn’t

stop her whimper of need. Unbidden her hands tangled in his hair, to keep him

there, as every hard suck made her pussy quiver in need. She could smell her

own arousal in the air, as her juices slowly trickled down the inside of her

thighs.

Ty bit down hard on the

breast in his mouth, and the sharp pain of his bite made Jeanette cry out. Not

in pain exactly, because she was far too turned on and already teetering on the

edge of an orgasm.

“Please…”

Ty soothed the leftover

ache from his bite by licking it, before he abruptly withdrew.

“I haven’t given you permission to touch me, girl.”

He reached up to grasp her wrist, and Jeanette immediately let go of his hair.

She caught a glimpse of his stern expression before he swung her around.

“Face the wall, and spread your legs, girl.”

It didn’t even occur to her

to disobey, and when he joined her moments later his clean male musk enveloped

her.  He crowded her against that wall,

the coolness of it against her skin a direct contrast against the heated male

body pressing against her from behind. The feel of his chest hair against her

back made her hyperaware of his harsh breathing. She closed her eyes against

her shame, when he reached around and between her legs. There was nowhere to

hide now, as confirmed by his next words.

“So fucking wet for me. You’re mine now, girl.”

A bite to her shoulder

followed that possessive claim, and Jeanette cried out in surprise when he

shoved two fingers into her pussy at the same time. Wet as she was they slid

right in, and her internal muscles clamped down on the invaders. Ty thrust

those digits in and out of her channel and adding another one, finger-fucked

her with merciless precision. His cock was a hard, solid ridge against her hip,

and he groaned into her neck again, when she spread her legs wider for him.

“Yeah, that’s it, baby, your body knows who you

belong to, doesn’t it?”

Jeanette tried to respond,

but nothing but a keening sound came out, because Ty curled his fingers to

massage her G-spot. Pleasure surged through her hard and fast, and her hips

took on a life of their own as she rocked herself against his hand, desperate

to gain the friction she needed to her clit to get over.

Before she could get there,

however, Ty withdrew his fingers, and slapped her ass hard. Jeanette moaned her

denial and shoved her ass back into him in a silent bid for him to continue,

but she should have known that was a useless exercise.

“No, your orgasms belong to

me now, and you will not come without my permission.”

One hand fisted in her

hair, he pulled her away from the wall and marched her across to the cross.

Jeanette’s heart missed a few beats, and then turned into a jackhammer when she

caught side of their reflection in the mirror on the wall.

She looked like she felt, a

woman on the edge. Her eyes were too wide, her mouth, still swollen from his

earlier kisses slightly open, her breasts swaying from side to side, and

shaking with every harsh breath she managed to draw into her lungs, as he half

dragged her along. Her skin already showed the marks of his possession, his

bite marks clearly visible, and she groaned when his arm came round her waist,

and he kicked her legs apart. It meant her swollen most intimate parts were

clearly visible.
Jeanette ought to be ashamed at how wet she was, at the needy

sounds that immediately spilled from her lips, when Ty yanked her head back

further, and rubbed his jaw along her neck. His breath singed her skin, and

their gazes locked. His dark eyes flashed with dangerous intent, and Jeanette’s

internal muscles clenched in response, sending more moisture to her swollen

lips.  Ty smiled when he noticed, and his

voice dropped even further, sending yet more shivers of dread, or was it

anticipation, down her spine. Her clit quivered, the usually tiny bud clearly

visible at the top of her hood.


“Take a good look, titch. Your body doesn’t lie. You

want this, need it, even, and I’m just the man to give you what you need. All

you have to do is ask.”

The Royal Mate Space Wars 6 by @AprilZyon #LIVE

The Royal Mate

Space Wars, book 6 (The Final one)

by April Zyon

Published by Evernight Publishing

Cover by the Fabulous Jay Aheer

It all comes down to this. The truth about what started the war between the Imarian and Craegin is coming out, along with the fact that there is one true royal left. One man to rule them all.

Markus Rothschild wants to live a simple, quiet life but when faced with the truth of what’s happening in his world, he knows he has no choice but to take his rightful place.

Paisley Ralston is a woman who loves teaching small children. She’s never even held a weapon, let alone fired one. Playing bodyguard to the royal heir is the last thing she expected to do. But when Markus’s security team is sabotaged, she may be his only hope.

Paisley didn’t realize that meeting Markus meant finding her mate. Hidden in a special bunker, Paisley and Markus will test their limits and prepare for what’s coming. Together they will come out stronger, bonded, and ready to face both galaxies.

She looked at her mother and frowned. She couldn’t have heard the woman correctly. Paisley wasn’t a militant; she wasn’t a protector. For the love of all the saints, she was a teacher for young children.

The marshal looked at Paisley with a frown, then sighed. “Because you are about the one and only person that I will trust to be around him right now, and since you know where the safe house is I will leave you to take him. It’s too dangerous right now for him to remain on his ship with Fintan.”

“Wait, you mean, The General?” There was awe in Paisley’s voice and she knew it but she had seen what the man had gone through for his mate. He was the only reason that Paisley believed in love once more. It was the reason why, with her mother’s help, she’d broken the arranged marriage and begun to live for herself and not for what she should do.

“He’ll be arriving soon with several guards. You are all going to the bunker. The guards will take the outer shelter, and you and Markus will take the inner sanctuary.”

The inner sanctuary was a place that none could enter if they weren’t of the Ralston family. It literally took living blood and a tie to the blood and heartbeat of a Ralston to keep the air actually on in that sanctuary. It would be either a haven or a tomb depending on if people knew it or not.

“And what about you, Mother? You’ve kept a low profile while they sorted out the issues that were evidently in your offices.”

“This is very true and it’s past time for me to get back to what it is that I do. Besides, this way I know that you will be safe as will Markus.”

“You could always go into the shelter with him instead of me,” Paisley pointed out.

“No, because they would use you to get to me. You are my one weakness, Paisley.”

Paisley moved and gave her mother a hug. “There are not many that know of me, Mother. You’d probably be safe, you know, and so would I.”

“No, there is too much to be done.”

“But—”

“No buts, Paisley. This is an order. You are to keep him safe.”

Paisley bowed her head and nodded. “As you say. Just remember I don’t know how to fight.”

“You don’t, but he does.” Her mother gave her another hug, then pushed her toward where the family bunker was. It was something that no one and nothing could get into. Even if the world exploded, the bunker would eject into space and hook up with a waiting ship that would become their own private spaceship. It had been designed with the ultimate of protections in mind. Her great-grandfather had designed it and it had kept her mother safe when this war began to truly heat up as it had in the last several months.

“I trust you,” Paisley told her mother. She took a deep breath and smiled. “I’ll go pack.”

“Your things are already in the bunker. I had my assistant go to your home and empty your closets and drawers, and I personally put everything into the bunker. It’s fully stocked with food for the two of you for as long as you might need to be in there as well as the machines to recreate foods if you wanted or needed it. I doubt that much time will be needed, but just in case.”

“A career military man,” Paisley mused. “And how does he feel about having to hide?” she asked with a knowing grin. She knew the type.

“About like what you think he’s feeling,” the marshal stated with a laugh. “I wouldn’t be surprised if Fin had to tranquilize him to bring him in. Now, go.”

And just like that Paisley was summarily assigned a duty that she had no business taking care of. She wasn’t a fighter and never had been. She was soft, short, and more than a little pudgy. Paisley was not anything that anyone really would ever look a second time at.

Chapter One

“No, not happening.”

His commanding officer gave him a look that would have made Markus squirm when he’d first stepped on board the cruiser. Now it only had him digging his heels in further. “You know that it is not even an option, Markus. For your safety, and for the future of both our races, we need to make sure you remain alive until the general public is made aware of everything.”

He hated when Fintan Daykin made complete sense. The man already thought too highly of his logic for his own good.

Yes, Markus was important, but to his thinking, he was no more important than any other Craegin. Or Imarian, if he wanted to get technical. He was, after all, a byproduct from both races, although the Imarian in his blood was definitely diluted.

Growling under his breath about his stubborn commander, Markus shoved a hand through his short, dark mahogany hair and paced around the office. Fintan held his tongue for once, a blessing and a curse all at the same time.

Markus wouldn’t be in this situation where he was being ordered by not only Fintan but by the marshal of the Craegin people to go into hiding for his safety if not for a wedding most Craegin and Imarian people did not know occurred.

If not for the fact the entire crew aboard the cruiser he was currently on would also be in danger, he wouldn’t even consider leaving. But he could not willingly and knowingly put others in danger because he was stubborn. Yes, he was stubborn, but he was not stupid. And while it grated severely on his nerves to admit it, Fintan and the marshal were correct. Not only were there factions on the Craegin home world who wanted him dead and buried where no one could dig him up, but there was the entire ruling body of Imara to take into account. They likely had spies in place on his home world and moon outposts, hoping to get a shot at him.

Markus stopped near the vid monitor in Fintan’s office, which showed the view from space of the outpost planet they were currently orbiting. Most folks down there didn’t have a clue about the ticking time bomb floating in space above their heads. The wars that were held in the ships in space sometimes pelted down upon the heads of those on the planets below, something they tried hard not to allow happen. Never had he hated knowing about his heritage more than he did right then.

“Fine, I’ll go. But I don’t need a watcher. I am more than capable of taking care of myself. You and I both know that. And it is much easier to deal with anyone that may get wind of my location if I am alone. Having someone either interfering or uselessly getting in the way will only get me killed.”

“It’s not my call, and it’s definitely not yours. You will have a watcher, but I’ve been assured by the marshal that this individual will follow your orders to the letter unless they are a direct threat to your own life. I cannot, nor would I, change that.” Fintan pushed up from his chair to come stand by his side. “I know that your heritage weighs heavily on you. I wish I could carry the burden with you, my friend. But I will do whatever is necessary to keep you alive. Once the general public of Craegin and Imara know about you, and your lineage, then you can step from the shadows and into the light.”

Snorting at his words, Markus shot a look over his shoulder to the other man. “That was rather poetic, Fin. Love has changed you more than even I realized. Although I don’t know if this new streak you are showing is for the better.”

“Shut up,” Fin muttered.

Amusement coursed through him for a moment. He knew Fintan was doing it on purpose, and that made Markus appreciate the man’s friendship all the more. But the knowledge that he, Markus Rothschild, was the only living heir to the crowns of both Craegin and Imara… The reason he was the only living heir was tragic, according to many. His parents had both been killed while on a tramp headed for a fundraiser event on a Craegin moon base. They and nine others including the pilots died instantly. Markus had not been with them like he normally would have, because he’d come down with a cold and had been too ill to travel.

The official report was a rogue micro-meteor shower had compromised the tramp’s hull. While it had been a cold comfort to him at only ten summers old at the time, he had at least known the reason why they would never be coming home again. There had been closure. Now that he knew about his lineage he had to wonder if perhaps someone had taken them out. But that didn’t really work, either, because he was still alive. Why kill his parents but leave him breathing?

It was only one of many questions that haunted him since he had been told he was descended from royalty. The royalty, if he wanted to get technical. Shaking his head mentally to get back on topic, he turned partially to look at Fintan without straining. “Basically, you are telling me I’m stuck with the marshal’s chosen watcher.”

Fin nodded. “Whoever it is will probably be nothing more than a large, silent shadow that lurks in the background while you try to keep from going insane with boredom.”

Right, there was that issue, too. “What exactly am I supposed to do during this unwanted hiatus from my career path? I don’t mind the idea of a couple days of downtime to relax and rest, but being stuck somewhere indefinitely is less appealing.”

“I’m sure we can find something for you to do. You might even be able to finish all those reports I know you have been ignoring.”

Markus plastered on his best innocent face and blinked at his commanding officer. “Reports? Whatever do you mean, General? I always do my reports promptly.”

Fintan’s eyebrows climbed up his forehead at that bold-faced lie. “Right. Do them all up. Wherever you are going will likely have the capability of secure transmissions, so you can send them all back here and I will sign off on them before submitting them. Sadie can make sure there are no electronic tags on any of those files that could potentially lead back to your location.”

Sadie, Colonel Bracken Kauller’s wife and family friend to the Daykins, was a genius with anything electronic. Her doctorate in AI and destroyer programming spoke for itself, but her skills were known across the quadrants even if people did not know her name. “I will make sure all the reports are completed. I make no promises on when I will get them done, though. It will depend on wherever you and the marshal are planning to stash me and this watcher you are saddling me with. My first priority will be security since that is why I am leaving the safety of a Craegin destroyer.”

“You cannot guilt me, Markus. I do this not only for your own good but for the good of two races. All of the Craegins and Imarians need you.”

“No, you’re right.” Damn but he felt like a kid being chastised right then. “I’m sorry. This situation is not our making, but it is our responsibility to see it righted. You and the marshal believe this is the best course to take, so I will bow to your wishes and let you handle it. But swear to me one thing, Fintan.”

“What is it?”

“Be expedient handling all this. Be careful, but do not dally. I am not now nor have I ever been one to sit idly by while my friends take the risks pointed toward me.” Markus had always preferred to face whatever came at him head-on, which made having to step aside and allow others to handle things grate on his nerves.

“I’ll do all I can to make sure we all come out of this alive and in a better position. Now go pack your bag and get your reports. The tramp will be here soon to take you to the cargo vessel that will shuttle you to your destination. I know it will not be the most comfortable ride, but no one would ever expect it.”

A few more words were exchanged before Markus left Fintan to his own duties. Heading to his quarters, he mulled everything he knew over in his head yet again. Before he ever got near the symbolic throne he was to take, he was going to drive himself crazy. And that did not even take into account whatever nightmare of a watcher he was being saddled with. He was definitely not looking forward to meeting whoever it might be.

Spark of Blue (Dark Light 2) by @RoseWulf #Live Today

Hello my lovelies! Thank you so much for having me today!
I’m here this time to talk about my brand new release, Sparks of Blue (Dark Light 2)! I am beyond excited for this particular book and I just know you’re going to love it!

Sparks of Blue
Dark Light series
Erotic paranormal romance
MF




Blurb:
Nearly a century ago warrior angel Kai and Nephilim Belle were lovers. Then he broke her heart and never looked back.

Now Second in Command of the angel armada, Kai knew he was the obvious choice for this long-term mission. And his job was clear: keep Belle and her patient alive. But he wasn’t prepared for the resurgence of old memories and long-ignored feelings. He’ll have to face what he did a hundred years ago if he wants a chance to be back in Belle’s arms…but even then, angels are forbidden from laying with Nephilim. If they were caught, Belle would be executed.

Born a Nephilim, Belle was neither angel nor human. But she was a healer, and she was damned good at it. Her reputation got her noticed by the armada and eventually earned her the title of Master Healer. It also earned her a terrible assignment: save the life – and therefore the soul – of a cursed human…under the protection of her ex-lover. And it turns out the chemistry they’d once shared may have been buried, but it’s a flame that could never burn out.



Excerpt:
            She shoved the frustration of the never-ending struggle to prove herself from her mind as she checked out, doing her best to ignore the obvious flirtation attempt from the man at the desk. He could hardly meet her gaze long enough to smile. But she didn’t care, she just wanted to get out of there. As soon as she was done she moved out of sight, heading for a couple of trees that would make disappearing a little easier.
            “You want me to smite him for you?”
            Kai’s question startled her, as did the sound of his voice coming from behind her, and Belle jumped. “Kai, you scared the crap out of me!” she exclaimed as she turned to face him. His words hit her, then, and she couldn’t stop the tease. “Smite, really?”
            “Seemed appropriate,” Kai said by way of explanation as he stepped into her personal space. Before she could catch her breath at his nearness he’d slipped her bag from her shoulders with one hand and caught her hip with the other. “Stop taking risks,” he added, the order roughened by a distantly familiar thickness to his voice that sent shivers of anticipation down her spine. Before she could process what he was doing he’d tugged her up against his chest and caught her lips in a hard kiss.
            Belle moaned as he plunged his tongue into her mouth, demanding and teasing at the same time. He kissed her like a man starved, winding both arms around her as she kissed him back. Her skin burned beneath his heavy, heated touch and she threaded her fingers through his hair. It was thick and soft, exactly the way she remembered. He rolled his tongue over hers, stroking and sliding, reminding her body of exactly what he was capable of. Heat pooled low in her belly and she leaned into him instinctively.
            For a long, blissful moment it was as if nothing had ever changed between them. The past ninety-plus years never happened. They were just two people with a powerful attraction to each other. They’d never broken up. He hadn’t ripped her heart out and torn it to shreds with his cruel words.
            Except that he had. And that reminder was enough to dampen the flame he’d reignited in her blood. No matter how mindlessly good a kisser he was, no man was worth that. She had more self-respect than to throw herself at someone who could think so little of her.
            Belle pushed back, taking a full step away from him as she fought to catch her breath. Her body rallied against her, remembering all too well the pleasure he could bring, but she held strong. She just hoped he couldn’t see the tears stinging her eyes.

Blurb:
Where there’s smoke, there’s dragon fire.

Ordinary girl. Extraordinary fate.

Violet Winters is having a less than perfect day. Her

parents are meddling with her love life (again), her wintery magic is kaput and

her vivid dreams are coming far too close to reality. When she falls through

the ice after seeing her fiancé all close and snuggly with a fellow polar bear,

all bets are off. Is she better off dead or will she get another chance at life

when a Grimare angel rescues her from her chosen fate?

Fire meets ice and passions ignite.

Dante is a dragon on a mission: fight the string of strange

fires springing up around Westmore and find a mate. When his Captain decides to

have the men pose for social media shots to garner attention for the station,

Dante finds himself in the middle of a steady stream of women after his special

strategically placed “fire hose.”

At Hot Whips Café to haggle with the owner for counter space

for their new firemen calendar, he meets a woman who sets his inner scales on

fire. Can he save her from the machinations of the Fates or will she die a

second time by the very threat Dante fights against?

A dragon’s panty melting kiss may just be the wow this curvy

girl needs.

Excerpt:
“Come on, Dante, show us a little leg.” The smirking

photographer circled in front of him and it was all Dante could do to control

the dragon scraping beneath his skin to avoid reaching out and shoving the

camera up his ass.

Pictures for social media. The Captain had officially lost

his fucking mind. The catcalls and male laughter from the rest of the guys made

him lose his footing and the fire hose he’d been using as a prop to conceal his

nakedness began to slip.

“Jesus. Fix that hose. This isn’t internet porn, you know.”

The Captain groused, scowling.

Dante scrambled to catch the hose and cover himself and

balanced against the newly washed and waxed fire engine, trying to pretend he

was anywhere else but standing like a prize bull at an auction.

“If you’ll hold still, please. The others have already

contributed their shots. You’re the last one.” The cameraman huffed, turning

the lens. He lowered the camera and glared at Dante. “You could smile maybe?”

Shit. He was distracted by the wacked out dream he’d had the

night before. A woman he’d never met swam in front of him, dying. Her long

black hair fanned out in the cold, dark water and he’d panicked. He’d told her

to live.

“Fine.” Dante growled, a wisp of smoke curling out from

behind his lips. He felt the change sliding beneath his skin, the dragon

agitated by his distress.

“God, Dante. Come on.” Carter laughed. “You aren’t afraid of

a little flashing light, are you?” The rest of the crew laughed, sharing in the

good natured ribbing.

“Bastard.”

He just wanted it to be over. His beast wanted to fly and

hunt and if he didn’t get out of here soon, he was going to lose his mind. Most

of the men here were either dating or married. He wasn’t and the urge to mate

had made his already bad temper even worse.

The Captain had lured him and the others in with the promise

of a social media boost to help the department. He figured a couple of pictures

for Instagram like that vet that had so many followers it was insane. Model

pretty with a gaggle of women trailing behind him like no tomorrow. The guy had

even been on national television recently. Cap was dreaming, but he also knew

the man would do anything to save their department from going strictly

volunteer.

So many in the country had gone that route and the bear

shifter was fighting it tooth and claw. Dante supported that. He’d moved from

his home in the mountains to come here after his buddy Carter had told him

about the job. Happy and with a large family of cat and dragon shifter young,

his friend would do anything to ensure things stayed status quo. So would he,

and apparently that included standing naked in front of a freshly polished

firetruck.

Thank God his mother couldn’t see him or he’d never hear the

end of it. She’d been writing him emails nonstop asking if he’d met any

promising women. Jesus. He’d never seen a woman more eager to fuss over

grandchildren. But he hadn’t and the prospects didn’t look very favorable. Not

that he hadn’t dated. He had. But no female he’d met even sparked his interest past

the typical curves and tight jeans and it wasn’t enough. Not anymore.

He wanted a mate. Someone to come home to and warm his bed

and his heart. Most of the women he’d come across only wanted one thing—to bang

a fireman and brag to their friends.

“Well, that’s about as good as I’m going to get if you’re

going to scowl like that.” The photographer capped his lens and sighed,

stalking off toward the Captain. “You can get dressed now.”

“Jerk.” Dante swiped the robe he’d worn from the floor and

shrugged into it.

“Man, you really need to learn to crack a smile, buddy.”

Carter grinned as he and a few of the others approached now that the

photographer had gone.

“Thank you, guys. Dante.” The Captain came forward giving

Dante a narrow eyed look, then nodded toward the remainder of the group. “We

should see the finished product in a day or so.”

Wait. Product?

Resilient Love, Nave Love Series Book 3 by JC Santo Now #LIVE!

Resilient Love
(Navy Love Series Book 3)

by 
JC Santo
Now Live! 

 

How much hurt can one love go through?
 
An ill mother, a devastating secret and depression. These are now daily battles Joanna Fuentes deals with.
 
She sat on the sidelines and watched her friends find love, even the ones who weren’t searching for it. J.C. was meant to be a distraction from her mother’s illness, something for fun to pass the time. She never expected him to be her happily ever after.
 
Jared Collins enjoyed the single life. Yes, he’d always had the hots for a fellow sailor and friend, Jo, but he never thought he’d act on those physical feelings. And he damn sure didn’t think she’d be a game changer when he finally gave into those feelings.
 
What started off as two friends and a couple drunken nights, escalated into something more; Love. But secrets, unspoken feelings and one huge fight has caused a riff in the once unbreakable friendship of J.C. and Jo.
 
Will J.C. be able to repair the damage not only to their friendship but also their future relationship? Is he able to be the man Jo needs to pull her out of the depths of despair she’s fallen into?
 
One thing is certain, it will take a resilient kind of love.

Think You Couldn’t Possibly Lose Your Amazon Publishing Account? Think Again.

Wow….A bit scary to say the least.

The Active Voice

There’s this indie author I know a little bit from the Kboards.com forum. Her name is Pauline Creeden, and she’s an ordinary midlister, like so many of us. I remember PMing her some time ago and gushing about how particularly beautiful one of her book covers is — the one for Chronicles of Steele: Raven. Here, I’ll include an image. Gorgeous, eh?

Anyway, today I tuned in to Kboards and noticed that Pauline had started a thread. It contained what’s surely the worst news possible for an indie author: Amazon had closed her publishing account. All her ebooks had been taken off sale. Permanently. Here’s the email she got from Amazon:

We are reaching out to you because we have detected that borrows for your books are originating from systematically generated accounts. While we support the legitimate efforts of our publishers to promote their books, attempting to manipulate…
