"I hadn't decided to write a story for the launch of the Kindle world but i got caught up in the excitement of the other authors' stories. I'd asked my reader group who they'd most like to read a  new story about and the consensus was Nick and Julian. I love second chance stories and those two always held a special place in my heart.
A few of us were at RT this year in Atlanta, sitting at the bar (as usual) when an idea popped into my head. We always read books about the couples coming together, but what happens after the happy ending? And I knew there was lots more to Nick and Julian's story. A title came to me-Controlled Burn-which I didn't end up using, but the premise of the story, Nick and Julian struggling through that first year with themselves and each other, was all there. I didn't want it to be too angsty, and wanted to show a little bit of fun in the bedroom.
Just a note. I started writing notes on my phone and Lane Hayes, who was sitting next to me when the idea hit, knew exactly what was happening. "Got a storyline?" she said to me."Yep."I got typing away as we finished our margaritas."

***From award-winning, bestselling author Toby Neal, whose writing Kirkus Reviews calls “persistently riveting,” comes the Lei Crime Series!***
Hawaii is palm trees, black sand and blue water—but for policewoman Lei Texeira, there’s a dark side to paradise.

Overcoming a past filled with scars, Lei makes a life for herself as a cop in the sleepy Big Island town of Hilo. When a routine patrol turns up two murdered teens, Lei’s world is rocked: she knows one of the girls. 
Even as Lei is drawn into the case, the killer’s attention fixes on her. 
Despite the strain of being toyed with by a murderer, Lei’s attracted to the lead detective, Michael Stevens--but she can’t afford distractions. Amidst an enchanting backdrop of Hawaii’s black sand beaches and shrouded fern forests, a killer’s closing in on her.

Revelation by Amy Briggs  Lucinda Quinn couldn’t wait to get out of her small town and make a name for herself in New York City. But what she found was the harsh reality that nothing comes easy. Working as an intern, with long nights and menial tasks doing nothing for her career, she doesn’t bat an eye at becoming an employee of one of New York’s best kept secrets - Infidelity. One year of companionship, with a well-connected rich man in the city, is just the ticket she needs to finally skyrocket her dream of becoming a successful businesswoman.
Ryder Donahue is one of Manhattan's most eligible bachelors. With a thriving multi-million dollar company, and stunning good looks, he could have any woman he wants. Except that he’s tired of the distraction of the dating scene, filled with nothing but gold diggers, throwing themselves at him for status and money. Knowing he needs an escort to events, to establish his credibility among the old money in New York City, he hires a companion from the Infidelity Club to be his stand-in girlfriend for the year.
When Lucinda and Ryder meet, their pasts collide, setting in motion a tumultuous roller coaster of events that leave them wondering what could have been, and what could be. Will the two set aside their jaded memories to turn this business arrangement into a relationship? Find out in Revelation, a Fidelity World novella.
Collared by LeTeisha NewtonDeath changes us all …
Without my husband, my world caved. The business we built together is a prison. Our home, once filled with laughter and passion, is a tomb for what was. I want to give it all away and find a new place to start over. But the needs inside me, long-hidden whispers, won’t leave me alone. What I crave, a newfound darkness to match the pain, is impossible to ignore.
When Infidelity offers me a chance for fulfillment and a companion with no strings, I grasped it with both hands.
My Master is hurting. He’s filled with agonies and releases them on my flesh. We push and pull, an Owner and his slave, and I am helpless at his feet. But he strengthens me, giving me the power to fight his demons and substitute for what he’s lost.
I wasn’t supposed to fall in love, shouldn’t want to be more than a replacement. But I did, and I do. We only have the agreement between us, but I want him to own me irrevocably. Forever, always, to keep me …
Collared.
Diamonds by N Kuhn     As a diamond broker for the Costello crime family, you should never, ever, fall in love, with the Feds, especially one sexy black haired, green eyed vixen, set on putting you away.
They say, diamonds are a girl’s best friend. But when they are blood diamonds, from a criminal you’re supposed to put away, this Federal Agent can’t keep them, or him. Can she? 
Devious by Solease Barner  Revenge is best served cold… until her.
Jaxson Montgomery has worked long and hard to climb to the top of the business world. His company is one in which image and connections mean success or failure. He’s known as ‘The Fixer’, and for the right price, he can make any problem disappear. His services are sought by the wealthiest and most famous people across the globe… and, quite often, the most notorious and criminally inclined as well. He’s respected by men and adored by women. To society, he appears to be a man with everything, good looks, charm, wealth, and, if he so desires, a different woman every night of the week.
But in his world, appearances are only a matter of perception. Jaxson Montgomery does not have everything. There’s one thing he desperately wants and he’s determined to have it, by any means necessary. After tragedy in his own life leaves him reeling and broken with a problem even he’s unable to fix, Jaxson is determined to seek retribution. He has the perfect plan. It’s devious, dark, and dangerous, but failure is not an option. Jaxson learned long ago to keep his friends close and enemies, closer. He’s prepared to do whatever it takes to have his revenge… even if it means sleeping with the enemy.And the beautiful Silvia Demetri is the perfect pawn. After all, revenge is always best served cold…Until it isn’t.


Kindhearted Silvia Demetri doesn’t have the perfect life. Yet, to the world, she appears to have everything a woman could possibly want… beauty, intelligence, sophistication, money. But we all know, appearances can be deceiving. There’s something missing, something very important. She yearns for love, but has given up all hope of finding it.
When Silvia begins preparations for her annual charity foundation event, little does she know her entire life is about to be changed by a simple chance encounter with a handsome, charming stranger, one who will sweep her off her feet, make her feel things she’s never experienced, and turn her world upside down.A man who knows nothing about her or her family… or so she thinks.But what if meeting Jaxson Montgomery wasn’t chance at all…Maybe it was something far more devious.

Captivate by Stacey LynnClaudia Townsend, daughter of disgraced Judge Keith Townsend needs a fresh start, and in New York, she finds exactly what she’s looking for.
Raised with poise and grace and a lifetime of being around the wealthiest members of society in Savannah, Georgia, becoming a client of Infidelity makes perfect sense. It offers her everything she needs—financial security, a new life, and the possibility of final getting rid of her pesky V-Card.
What—or who—she doesn’t expect, is for Liam Allistor to come crashing in and messing up all of her new plans.
Liam Allistor has more secret than he has tattoos. His deep set black eyes and banging body along with his mystery allure is what makes panties drop as soon as he steps on stage in crowded arenas. But then he’s rocked by a scandal and his ticket sales plummet. His tour ends at breakneck speed, and everyone, including Liam, is left wondering if his career has come to a screeching halt.
He needs a publicity makeover, but more than that…he needs a girlfriend. And Infidelity is just the place for him to find one.
His agent wants him to clean up his image. Infidelity wants his money and silence.
And Liam? He wants Claudia, and he doesn’t care what he has to do to get her.

Royal Enchantment

Royal Enchantmentby Sharon AshwoodGenre: Paranormal Romance ThrillerPublisher: Harlequin

She married the king. She wanted the man. Guinevere's marriage to Arthur was a political partnership, never a romance. Merlin knows that the king's court, newly restored at a medieval theme park, will only be complete if Arthur has his lady. Little did anyone suspect that once Guinevere gets a taste of twenty-first-century freedoms that this ancient queen would lose interest in belonging to any man—even a royal one. 
It takes a dragon, and some passionate nights spent in each other's arms, to lure her back to her husband's side. Arthur is willing to accept Gwen's help in protecting the new Camelot from a fae menace, but the bigger challenge will be wooing back Guinevere for a second chance at love…

For Faith and Mark, the telepathic connection they’d shared for years was nothing compared to the scorching physical connection they realized as adults. From the first moment they came together, erotic was too pale a word to describe their relationship. Together they explored each other’s deepest, darkest desires. But now Mark, survivor of an ambush to his Delta Force team, is a prisoner of a terrorist group in the Peruvian jungle, and his telepathic communication with Faith is his only contact with the world. While she searches for help to save him, they survive on dreams that took them beyond all sexual boundaries. Can she persuade the men of Phoenix to undertake a treacherous rescue and bring Mark back to her arms?

With a smile I couldn’t wipe from my face, I glanced around Metro. Friends had converged to help us celebrate, and my heart swelled to see the love, diversity, and support surrounding us.Drinks flowed, laughter rang out, and hugs were freely given. Friends gave speeches, food was shared, and music filled the air while we all danced. “We want to thank you all for coming tonight.” Kyle addressed the crowd. “The people here tonight mean the world to us. You’re our colleagues, our confidants, our best friends, and we wouldn’t want to celebrate with anyone but all of you.” Kyle raised his glass. “Cheers!”“Cheers!” “A ditto would be just as effective, but I feel like I need to at least put forth some effort.” I joked as I took the mic from Kyle. “We are truly blessed to have such amazing people in our lives, and having you all here tonight proves to us that love wins. No matter the hatred, the cruel words, the pain…the love we share with those we’re closest to always wins.” I swallowed a lump in my throat before lifting my glass. “Thank you. Cheers.”

Note from the author:So, Kyle’s parents are deceased and Adam’s parents are not supportive of his relationship with Kyle. When I was asked to share a snippet of Devoted for Mother’s Day, I was at a loss for a moment. This book doesn’t have doting, caring, loving mothers. However, what this book doeshave is a group of friends who are the true definition of family. Adam and Kyle are blessed with friends they can count on and turn to. Not everyone has a great family, but that doesn’t mean you can’t know the love of family. “Mothers” can come in many different forms.

Deleted Scene fromINDISCRETIONByD.D. Lorenzo

Patrick
There was no point in trying to reason with my parents. Disappointment shone in their eyes. Delivering the news that I was a homosexual wasn’t as liberating as I thought it would be. Saying the words out loud was like letting the air out of an over-inflated balloon. Expelling the phrase “I am gay” released the tightness that had resided in my chest for years, but the hurt on my parent’s faces immediately filled the void. I closed the door of the study behind me, but I couldn’t leave. Not yet. I leaned against the wall outside of the door, barely breathing so that I could hear their conversation.
“He’ll come to his senses.” The quiet steel of my father’s voice was hushed, and his tone was soothing.
“I don’t think so, and as much as we deny it, I believe that both of us were well aware of Patrick’s attraction to men before today.” The trembled emotion in my mother’s voice broke my heart. I never wanted to hurt anyone; I only wanted to be true to myself.
“I’ll make him understand," my father continued. "He is our only son. He must marry; must have at least one child. Otherwise, what will happen to everything we’ve built?”
“The world is changing, my darling, and we have to change with it.” Now it was my mother’s sweet voice that soothed. “No matter what anyone says, no matter what anyone thinks, no matter what anyone does, that young man is our flesh and blood. He is the best part of both of us, and I’ll never deny or disown him. All of Savannah can go to hell before I do.”

“Great.” Imina braced both hands on her hips and studied her mentor. A woman who had seen her at her worst and turned her into the creature she was today. Was that a good thing? Who really knew? “Someone should watch out for Ms. Collins.”“Demetri has a woman who works for him. Deloris. I’ve met her once.” Karen huffed out a laugh. “Was like looking in the mirror, only scarier. That woman will keep an eye on the whole situation. She won’t let anything tarnish the Demetri reputation.”“Alexandria isn’t a situation, Karen. She’s a living, breathing person.” Imina paced in front of the desk, restless and angry. Sure nothing good would come of that poor redhead’s situation, especially with Demetri involved.Karen frowned. “Don’t question my judgment.”“You’re not infallible.” Though harsh, Imina had to speak this truth. Together, they hadn’t always made the right choices for the employees but rather the right choices for Infidelity. “You’re speaking out of turn.”“Someone around here has to.” Imina lifted both brows and met Karen’s gaze.Her boss sighed then sipped from her drink. “Sit down.”“Why?” She was in no mood to be lectured over her outburst.“I want to hear about you and Aiden in the elevator. Anything…interesting happen?”“What do you mean?” The word—interesting always held far too many connotations. Imina narrowed her eyes. Why was Karen concerned about events occurring inside the elevator instead of questioning why it’d stopped in the first place? “I’ll check to see if security emailed a report.” Using that as an excuse, she stepped closer to the door.“Uh huh…that’s what I thought.”Imina snapped around. “Thought about what?”“You.”“Me?” Imina tapped her nail against the doorframe, because this conversation was not heading in a safe direction. Much like her elevator excursion yesterday.“I just got off the phone with Aiden. He’s taking you out.”Gasping, Imina stormed toward Karen’s desk. “What the hell are you talking about?”

Bella Costello sat at her chestnut vanity table applying mascara to her skimpy brown lashes and tried not to cry. Crying would ruin her careful makeup, but tears threatened because she was reminiscing about the lush, dark fringe of lashes on her son, Luca, even when he was an infant. People used to come up to his stroller to look at his bright eyes, framed as they were by such long, thick lashes and Bella would laugh when the other women griped “it’s always the boys who get them.” It was true. Luca’s were so long they’d sometimes flip back into his eyes and he’d howl bloody murder until she managed to hold him still long enough to get them out. But, oh, he was such a good baby in every way and she missed him—them, her babies, their childhood—terribly.Luca was her golden boy. In his youth, Bella’s husband, Vincent, was a looker, no doubt about it. Of late he’d been indulging in too much of the good life. But Luca? He was so much more than a mere looker: he was fashion-model gorgeous. Bella almost couldn’t believe the masculine beauty her son was gifted with. Where it came from was anyone’s guess—he certainly didn’t get his perfect nose from either her or her husband. The thing she liked most about her son was that he didn’t depend on his looks for anything… well, except maybe for getting the girls, but that part of his life was over now that he was happily married. The tradition of their men taking mistresses—goomahs they called the sluts—was a thing of the past. Everything else Luca had, he’d earned with his brains and brawn—he spent the time and exerted the effort. Plus, he was wickedly clever, her boy. Arching her brows, she put the finishing touches on her makeup, sealing it all in with some sparkly mineral powder, and sat back. Not bad, she thought. This old broad still had some life left in her. Bella swept her shoulder-length auburn hair into a low loose bun, pinning it with a hair stick.OK. She had to hurry. Bree was picking up her mom and then swinging by to get Bella. Bree’s mom was in town from Illinois visiting her relatives in Brooklyn, so Luca and Bree were taking both their moms to brunch for Mother’s Day. Since Bree’s father wasn’t coming, neither would Vincent. Bella hoped there wouldn’t be bad blood between the two men stemming from any resentment Vincent might have over missing the brunch.Bree’s father wanted nothing to do with the Costellos and didn’t try to hide it much. He did attend his daughter’s wedding but that was as far as he would go. He refused to have any further contact with Bree’s in-laws. Illinois State Senator Buchanan, the perfect Midwestern WASP, didn’t want to sully his reputation and future political viability. So be it.As she was trying to zip her white dress with the navy-blue zigzags, there was a soft rap at the door. “Ma?” Luca called. “Are you ready?”“Yes, honey, come in and zip me up.”Hesitantly he walked into the room, handsome in his navy suit with an ivory v-neck sweater underneath the jacket. Bella snorted a chuckle at his wariness. “I’m not indecent, Luca. I just need you to get the last part of the zipper.”“I didn’t say you were, Ma. Happy Mother’s Day,” he said and leaned in to give her a kiss. “Wow,” he added, taking a full look at her, “you still got it, Ma. I remember when I was so proud that I had the most beautiful mother in the neighborhood. I still do.”Bella shook her head slowly. “I think you’re biased but thank you. You look pretty handsome yourself. Hey, look at us, we match! Are Bree and her mom in the car?”“Yes. I asked Dad again to come but he said no way. I feel bad…”Bella shook her head. “Don’t worry, Luca. It’s not your doing. It will all work out.”“I don’t know, Mom,” he said as he pulled up the zipper and fastened the pearl snap at the top. “Bree’s father is pretty stubborn. He barely will have anything to do with me, never mind Dad.”“His loss. Meanwhile, Dad and I get to hog the grandkids.” She laughed at his expression. Currently there was just one grandbaby, Carmine. “Come on, Luca, there’s a whole lineup of lonely Bellinis and Bloody Marys on some table in the restaurant. We don’t want to keep them waiting.”Luca laughed. “No, we don’t.”They began to exit the room when Luca stopped suddenly and pulled her back. “What is it?” she asked him.“I just wanted to tell you that I love you, Ma. Thanks for being such a great mom to Luisa and me. We really appreciate it.”Bella felt tears spring to her eyes. “Thank you, sweetheart. That’s kind of you to say.”“I don’t know about kind but it’s true. Too many people have terrible parents. Whatever sins can be laid at our door… you and Dad were fantastic parents.”Bella choked up. “Have you spoken to your sister?”“She’s waiting at the restaurant, Ma. But first, I wanted to give you this.” He removed something from his breast pocket and handed her a small teal box with a white ribbon—the signature wrap of her favorite jewelry store. “Happy Mother’s Day, mia madre. From your son who adores you.” Bella finally lost the battle with her tears and she dabbed at them with the tip of her finger. Whatever she did in this life or the one before it that earned her Luca, she thanked her lucky stars that she did. Taking a deep breath, she reached for his large hand, remembering the tiny one that it used to be. She could pretend for today that it still was. “Come on, little boy, let’s go.”

Inhaling, Sera said, “Do you want the girls and me to leave here and go back to my home country?”“No. Why would you ask such a thing?” The way she’d blurted out the question jolted me, leaving little time to process.“The house belongs to you. You seem so angry. Perhaps if the girls and I were no longer in the way, you could have a family of your own. I do not wish to add to your distress.”My gut clenched at the idea of my sisters moving to Italy. “You are my family, Sera. I couldn’t bear being separated from Bettina and Cat. I am angry, but my anger has nothing to do with you. I’m angry you’re alone. I’m angry Bettina won’t have our father to walk her down the aisle. I’m angry Cat is afraid of what she calls the mop or that she even knows the…mop exists. But mostly I’m furious at the monster who murdered Dad.”Her shoulders slumped and tears streaked her cheeks. “You are a good man, Dante. We have always had an easy relationship. I am happy this will not change. I love you like a brother.”Not caring about the awkwardness, I rushed to her and held her tightly. “We’ll always be a family. You’re always welcome in this house, even if I marry or you remarry.”She jerked and her voice changed. “I could never remarry. I would not dishonor your father’s memory.”I squeezed her shoulders. “You’re young. Papà wouldn’t have wanted you to be alone.” I slowed my breathing in an attempt to control my rampant emotions. “This is a conversation we should save for later. Just know you’re welcome in this home.” With her high cheekbones and Mediterranean good looks, she’d be fighting off advances within a year.
