NSIDIOUS (Tales from the Dark Side One)  by ALEATHA ROMIG

SYNOPSIS

Dark desires…Deadly secrets…Devious deceptions…Nothing is exactly as it seems in INSIDIOUS, the new erotic thriller from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig. 

When a powerful man is willing to risk everything for his own satisfaction, only one woman can beat him at his own game: his wife. Or so she thinks…

“Let’s start with you calling me Stewart. Formalities seem unnecessary.”

Stewart Harrington is rich, gorgeous, and one of the most powerful men in Miami. He always gets what he wants. Anything is available to him for the right price.

Even me.

Being the wife of a mogul comes with all the perks, but being Mrs. Stewart Harrington comes with a few special requirements. I’ve learned to keep a part of myself locked away as my husband watches me submit to his needs. But the more he demands of me, the more beguiled he becomes and that’s to my advantage. So I keep fulfilling his fantasies and following his rules because he doesn’t know that what he’s playing is really my game. And winning is everything, right?

Insidious is a stand-alone novel and the first Tales from the Dark Side title. Due to the dark and explicit nature of this book, it is recommended for mature audiences only.

DETERMINED TO OBEY (Dark Duet #3.5) by C J ROBERTS

We join Kid in the dungeon, where he is about to meet Felipe and his companion Celia for the first time…

DEBT INHERITANCE (Indebted #1)  by PEPPER WINTERS

SYNOPSIS

“I own you. I have the piece of paper to prove it. It’s undeniable and unbreakable. You belong to me until you’ve paid off your debts.” 

Nila Weaver’s family is indebted. Being the first born daughter, her life is forfeit to the first born son of the Hawks to pay for sins of ancestors past. The dark ages might have come and gone, but debts never leave. She has no choice in the matter. 

She is no longer free.

Jethro Hawk receives Nila as an inheritance present on his twenty-ninth birthday. Her life is his until she’s paid off a debt that’s centuries old. He can do what he likes with her—nothing is out of bounds—she has to obey. 

There are no rules. Only payments.

BANG (Black Lotus Series One) by EK BLAIR

SYNOPSIS

They say when you take revenge against another you lose a part of your innocence.

But I’m not innocent.

I haven’t been for a very long time.

My innocence was stolen from me. Taken was the life I was supposed to have. The soul I was born with. The ruby heart embedded in a life full of hopes and dreams.

Gone.

Vanished.

I never even had a choice.

I mourn that life. Mourn the what-ifs.

Until now.

I’m ready to take back what was always meant to be mine.

But every plan has a fatal flaw. Sometimes it’s the heart.

**Due to the dark and explicit nature of this book, it is recommended for mature audiences only as some scenes may be particularly disturbing.** (

RUIN & RULE (Pure Corruption #1) Pre-order Links

I’m super excited to share the cover and exclusive pre-order links for a brand new series set in a Motorcycle World called Pure Corruption. Here is a bit of need-to-know information on Ruin & Rule. Hopefully I answer all your questions. If not, don’t hesitate to comment below and I’ll do my best to reply. :)

When will Ruin & Rule be published: 28th July 2015

(Yes, I know it’s a long way away, but this book has been purchased by Grand Central (Hachette) and we all know that Traditional takes longer than indie. But I say that it’s one of my favourite stories I’ve written to date and hope you enjoy this one as much as my others.)

What about Sins of Silver? Will you be publishing that one?

Ruin & Rule IS Sins of Silver. Both Chantal Fernando and I were approached by respective publishers and agreed that our time frames and deadlines didn’t permit us to do a joint venture, so Sins of Silver is no more. HOWEVER we both took the ideas of our storylines and adapted them to our own work. Chantal Fernando’s MC book: Dragon’s Lair is her book in lieu of Sins of Silver and has been picked up by S&S and my version of Sins of Silver is RUIN & RULE. I know it’s a little confusing, but hope that makes a bit more sense.

When is the next Indebted coming out?

I can say that I have approx 6-7 books to be published next year, and Second Debt (Indebted #3) will be released in January.

Are you giving out Advance Reader Copies for Ruin & Rule?

As this book is traditionally published all ARC’s and review copies will be approved by Grand Central only and it’s out of my control.

Where will Ruin & Rule be available for purchase?

The best news….EVERYWHERE. Bookstores around America and Canada. Online at all major retailers and hopefully in book shops in Australia, New Zealand, and England, too.

Now the questions are out of the way….here is the blurb, goodreads link, and pre-order links.

RUIN AND RULE (Pure Corruption MC, #1)

Release Date: July 28,2015

Publisher: Grand Central

BLURB:

 

“Some say bad things happen to good people. That evil comes for the purest of us, and destinies can change in a blink.

I believed the lie once.

Now my eyes are open.

And I’ll never be so naïve again.”

 

Arthur ‘Kill’ Killian is a biker president, vengeance-deliverer, and heartless trader.

He lives where no laws or rules apply.

He obeys no one.

He controls everything.

He controls because he must. His ability to trust is gone; his God-given right to love stolen forever.

He lives only to reap vengeance on those who wronged him.

Pure Corruption is now his family, the only people he cares about.

Until he steals her.

That was the day his world ended.

That was the day he fell in love with a ghost.

PROLOGUE: 

We met in a nightmare.

The in-between world where time had no power

over rhyme, reason, or connection. We met. We stared. We knew.

There was no distortion from the outside world. No

right or wrong. No confusion or battles from hearts and minds.

Just us. In our silent dream-world.

That nightmare became our home. Planting ghosts,

raising fantasies. Entwined together in our happily skewed reality.

We fell in love. We fell hard.

In those fleeting seconds of our nightmare, we lived

an eternity.

But then we woke up.

And it was over.

**COMPLETE INDEBTED SERIES PRE-ORDER**

I have something extremely exciting to bring those lovers of Jethro and Nila in the Indebted Series. Recently, at the Sydney Signing last weekend, I was lucky enough to have dinner and drinks with the fabulous man in charge of iBooks. I never really knew how iBooks worked because I’m (ducks for cover) not a Mac or iPhone user. However, once I was told the features I could offer my readers, I instantly worked with iBooks to deliver the following good news:

The ENTIRE Indebted Series is up for pre-order on iBooks. 

What does this mean?

Well, the six full length books that make up the Indebted Series are available for pre-order and will automatically appear on your device when released. Currently the dates on the iBooks description pages are INCORRECT. I don’t have exact dates that they will be released (as I have many other commitments in 2015 and can’t over stretch myself) HOWEVER, I can tell you the date listed is well in advance so they will be released SOONER than stated. This way you can pre-order and not have to worry about waiting for alerts.

I know I’m going to have the question why can’t I put the same option on Amazon for Kindle. My answer is, I would love to. However, Amazon only offer a pre-order for 90 days and I of course can’t write four more books and upload in less than 90 days.

This option is exclusive to iBook users only at this point. However if it comes available on other platforms, I won’t hesitate to look into it.

Without further ado, here are the links:

**EXCLUSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT for MONSTERS IN THE DARK**

I’ve kept this news on the down-low and quiet. I figured if you found it on your own, then it would be a little surprise. 

For a STRICTLY limited time, the MONSTERS IN THE DARK ebook Boxed Set is available exclusively on iBooks.

Tears of Tess, Quintessentially Q, and Twisted Together are all included in this edition for a steal at $2.99 (Combined price of $13.00 to buy separately.)

INDEBTED SERIES RELEASE UPDATES & T-SHIRTS SAYING “KISS ME, JETHRO HAWK.”

I want to start this post off by saying THANK YOU again. First Debt has spent the last eight days in the Top 100 on Amazon, hit #1 Romantic Suspense, #1 Contemporary Romance, and #2 in Romantic Thriller. The reviews and messages have blown my mind, so thank you once again for embracing this series that I’m so passionate about.

Right, time for the news.

I’ve been asked over the last week how many books there are and when they’ll be released. I don’t have release dates (but they won’t be years apart. I’ll do my best to keep them releasing very quickly.) However, I can confirm the number in the series is SIX.

To make it easier to keep track, I’ve added them all on Goodreads which will advise you of release dates and things when they get closer to release.

FIRST DEBT (Indebted #2) IS LIVE & THANK YOU

I just wanted to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for making the release day for Nila and Jethro such a mega success.

After almost giving up on this series and being so close to never telling the twisted love story between the firstborn Hawk and firstborn Weaver, I’m BLOWN AWAY by the reviews pouring in.

I write for you. My passion for creating worlds and my day-job at putting those worlds to paper never means more to me than when you take the time to give me your words in return. Your reviews, your messages. They all touch me and change me, just as much as I hope my books touch and change you in some small way.

I know in my heart I will never stop writing. I wouldn’t be able to give up this dream. So thank you for believing in me–even when I didn’t.

Hope everyone has an amazing weekend and if you didn’t know… First Debt (Indebted #2) Is LIVE!!

“You say I’ll never own you. If I win—you willingly give me that right. You sign not only the debt agreement, but another—one that makes me your master until your last breath is taken. You do that, and I’ll give you this.”

Nila Weaver’s family is indebted. Stolen, taken, and bound not by monsters but by an agreement written over six hundred years ago, she has no way out.

She belongs to Jethro as much as she denies it.

Jethro Hawk’s patience is running out. His inheritance gift tests, challenges, and surprises him—and not in good ways. He hasn’t leashed her but he thinks he might’ve found a way to bind her forever.

Debts are mounting. Payment waiting.
