The Other Marlowe Girl by Beth Fred
Available April 16
When twenty-four-year-old dance school drop out Kammy Marlowe is evicted by her mother, she goes to her favorite bar. She finds an unlikely friend in the blunt eye candy, Enrique. But Kammy knows there is no way she and Enrique have a shot because he’s her brother-in-law’s brother and has been privy to her wild past.
Enrique swears he’s only interested in the person she is today, but their relationship is tested when her ex-husband’s drug dealer attacks her, looking for money. With no options and a money hungry drug dealer on her back, Kammy accepts a position as a dancer at a strip club. But when Enrique shows up at the club, their relationship is over. With no reason to stay in Texas anymore, Kammy auditions for the Bolshevik Ballet and gets the opportunity to go to Russia. Only Enrique is determined to stop her.
Will she give up the chance of a lifetime to stay with the man she still loves?
Advantage Heartbreak by Kelly Hashway

Seventeen-year-old Meg Flannigan thought she’d made up her mind about love. But with two guys still vying for her attention, she wonders if she made the right decision. Ash is everything she’s ever wanted in a boyfriend: loyal, loving, and totally hot. But then there’s Noah: fun, sexy, and the more he sticks around, the more Meg wants him there.
What’s a girl to do?
Make up her mind, before it’s too late! Gorgeous freshman Liz has set her sights on Ash, and Noah is beginning to remind Meg of her last boyfriend—the one who broke her heart. Can she figure things out before she ruins not one, but two relationships? Or is she doomed to serve up heartbreak?

Dark Summer (#1, Witchling Series)
A school for Witchlings…
The ultimate choice between Light and Dark…
Where the price of a mistake…is your soul.
Sixteen-year-old Summer doesn’t expect her new boarding school to be any different than the rest: a temporary stay, until her uncontrollable magic gets her thrown out again. In her mind, there’s no point in getting too friendly with anyone. That is, until she notices Decker, the boy who will become the Master of Night and Fire on his eighteenth birthday.
When she learns that this special school has attracted others with magic in their blood, she is hopeful that this time around, things may be different. Besides, she can’t deny her interest in Decker, and when he rescues her one night from the dark forests of the Rocky Mountains, their connection is instant.
Yet a relationship with Decker may prove to be Summer’s downfall, forcing her to choose between Light and Dark, life and death, love – and their souls.
One choice. One soul. One price.
Available from Amazon, Amazon UK and Barnes and Noble

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
J. A. Huss likes to write new adult books that make you think and keep you guessing. Her favorite genre to read is space opera, but since practically no one reads those books, she writes new adult science fiction, paranormal romance, contemporary romance, urban fantasy, and books about Junco (who refuses to be saddled with a label).
She has an undergraduate degree in horses, (yes, really–Thank you, Colorado State University) and a master’s degree in forensic toxicology from the University of Florida. She used to have a job driving around Colorado doing pretty much nothing but shooting the breeze with farmers, but now she just writes, runs the New Adult Addiction and Clean Teen Reads Book Blogs, and runs an online science classroom for homeschoolers.

Cover Reveal: “It Was You” by Anna Cruise
Welcome to Lizzyland, Anna! Anna’s upcoming New Adult title, “It Was You” will be released soon!
Abby Sellers knows what she wants.
Enduring eighteen years in the shadow of her identical twin sister, Annika, she wants a fresh start. A chance to create her own life, separate from her conniving, deceptive twin.
Surprising both her family and friends, Abby ditches her plans for college and enrolls at a new school instead. There, she encounters West Montgomery, a sexy fellow student who immediately disarms her with his good looks and charm. West takes a liking to Abby and she suddenly finds herself walking a thin line, fabricating a fictional life created not by lies but by omission. She soon discovers West has secrets of his own, secrets that he’s not altogether interested in sharing.
Out from under the shadow of her twin, Abby’s life—and her relationship with West—blossoms. When Abby leaves town one weekend, something unthinkable happens and her relationship with West is shattered. Reeling from the discovery, Abby fears all of her plans have backfired and she’s created a mess for both of them, a mess that no one can clean up.
But West isn’t willing to let her go that easily. When he forces her to confront secrets they’ve both been hiding, Abby must decide more than if she’s willing to forgive and forget. She must also decide just what kind of life she wants…and who she wants to live it with.

Cover Reveal: “Xander’s Chance” (#1, Damian Eternal Series) by Lizzy Ford
Cover reveal! My upcoming book, “Xander’s Chance,” the first in spinoff series from my best selling War of Gods saga, will be out in late March. I recently revitalized the covers for the entire series in anticipation of the release of “Xander’s Chance.” Cover by the awesome Regina from Mae I Design!
Xander’s Chance (#1, Damian Eternal)
As the single-most powerful vampire on the planet, Xander is the ultimate bored predator with too much time on his hands. He manipulates the minds of immortals for fun and bullies around the Gods, while guarding the secret source of his power, a crystal that can wipe out the planet. But beneath the surface, he’s a shrewd creature who learned the brutal lesson of why there must be a balance between good and evil. An unwilling protector of the playthings known as humans, he knows when and where to use his power – and never to let anyone close enough to betray him. It’s easy to do, since he has the power to read the minds of everyone around him.
Except for one: Jessi, an innocent looking woman with an unusual talent who shows up unexpectedly in his life. Her sudden appearance is too convenient to be coincidence or chance. Xander determines quickly that she was sent by someone, but he can’t read her mind to discover why.
Jessi’s secret – and Xander’s – have the power to forever change the human world. Intrigued by a new sort of challenge, Xander won’t know how much danger he’s in, until he’s placed his fate in the hands of a woman whose betrayal will cost either his heart or his life.

Beneath
Where I came from everything is perfect. Everything is beautiful and predictable. Life isn’t measured by days, but by infinite joy that never ends.
But it did.
When I fell in love with a man who was perfectly imperfect.
The price for forbidden affection was steep and my beautiful white wings withered and died around me.
I was fallen. I am fallen.
Years have passed, and I’ve learned the true meaning of time. I’ve learned to build a wall around myself and exist alone. Yet, when he looks at me… the heart beneath my armor trembles.
But I must remember.
I must remember that I might not have anything left to lose, but he certainly does. And risking him is something I won’t do. So I lock my feelings where they belong.

BOOK 2
Descendant: The Devil’s Minions
Synopsis:
2033- Jason Hook has been forced into a responsibility he resents, one that brings both great power and great sacrifice. Ignoring it could mean the complete annihilation of the human race, while embracing it could save the lives of billions. As the world continues to collapse into the hands of malicious creatures, Jason discovers a secret hidden since the beginning of time, and finds that saving what’s left of the world may be harder than he ever imagined.
1319- Falko Van De Hemel has led a good life, and his plans for the future are set. But when he is crossed by a man that refers to himself as the Dark Angel, he must choose between a normal life or a life as a god-like creature with an entire army under his command. Without guidance, Falko could fall to the temptation that has been suffered by so many before him. And with the Dark Angel meddling in his decisions, it will take all of Falko’s morality to stay in control.
BOOK 3
Descendant: The Black Wolf
Synopsis:
The Present- Jason Hook has finally accepted the fate he has been dealt. He knows an end is soon coming, where he will either bring salvation to a war torn world, or die trying. But while he hunts the first of the Devil’s Minions, a greater evil begins to walk the earth. A threat no one could have anticipated. A terrible being, fueled by pure wickedness. The Black Wolf has risen, and if undefeated, his immense power will reign.
The Past- Falko Van De Hemel has achieved supremacy beyond anything he ever imagined. His strength is unparalleled, his speed unmatched, and thousands of soldiers follow his every command. But an enemy is plotting against him with great will and perseverance, an enemy that doesn’t care whether Falko lives or dies as long as he loses everything he’s worked so hard to obtain.
The final installment, Descendant: The Healer, will be coming soon!
