Sins & Secrets Series by Willow Winters
Title: Sins & Secrets SeriesAuthor: Willow WintersGenre: Romantic Suspense
Blurb
Love is inexplicable. It makes you do crazy things. Love is blind… that’s a saying for a reason, isn’t it?
If anyone ever heard my story, they’d say what I did was wrong.
Even my closest friends. They wouldn’t understand. No one would.
But even my friends have sins and secrets of their own. Their stories would send chills down your spine and make you think twice about just how powerful love can be. How corrupt… how deadly.
I’ll do what I do best as an author. I’ll write my tale, but they aren’t safe. I won’t let them judge me without having their own dark stories unveiled as well.
I’ll write it all down and put a pretty little bow on it.
The Sins and Secrets Series of Duets is here.
with love,
Jules (Imperfect, Sins and Series book 1)

River Road by R.C. Matthews
Title: River Road
Series: Tortured Souls #3Author: R.C. MatthewsGenre: Standalone Historical Romance
with gothic elementsRelease Date: November 6, 2017
Blurb
When a pirate and voodoo priestess must lift a deadly curse on those they love, do they dare let a relationship blossom amid danger? River Road is the gothically satisfying end to this fan-favorite series!
Charles Moore relishes his dangerous life as the pirate Hatchet, since manning a clipper ship keeps his mind off the role he played in the brutal Civil War. But now an ancient curse has killed two of his loves, and he can’t ignore the whispers that New Orleans’s Voodoo Queen, Marie Laveau herself, has hexed his family.
Creole widow Hope Leblonc bristles under the city’s Black Codes that have stripped her of so many freedoms and forced her practice of voodoo underground. When Hatchet treats her like the respectable woman she is, she offers him a deal: she’ll lift the curse if he’ll steal back a family relic she needs to become a mambo in her religion.
But they’re both holding secrets that endanger their lives. When ghosts from the past exact revenge for the skeletons in the Moore family closet, they reveal a connection between Hope and Hatchet that makes the curse more powerful than ever. Will they discover that love is worth the risk in time to survive the coming darkness?

Excerpt
A spark ignited in Hope’s eyes but not one of an amorous nature. Hatchet’s entire body tensed under the weight of her glare. Was his suit truly so offensive? There were moments when he would bet every last dime to his name that she desired him. His offer relieved her of the guilt of bedding the enemy—a white man—and turned it into a business deal. Couldn’t she embrace the brilliance of his plan?“I should’ve known,” she muttered, untangling herself from his hold. She paced the floor, a tiger caged and feral. “Is there an honorable bone in your body?”Of course, he had honor; perhaps even more than she. Her attempt at manipulating him with that tarot card reading was not well done of her. Honor was a matter of interpretation. She voiced a problem; he offered a solution. One that might be enjoyable for both of them, if she wished. When cast in the proper light, his proposal was almost noble.“I’m your knight in shining armor, placing myself in peril to serve you. Plenty of honor in that.”She halted in midstride, rolling her eyes. “Only a pirate would flip this on its head. You’re despicable for demanding this of me!”Perhaps she had a point. Stealing her ancient relic from his own father in exchange for one night of pleasure was one of the most reprehensible bargains Hatchet had ever struck. But he was damned to hell, and his loins ached to possess this woman. He’d been aroused since the moment he strolled into her room. Bargaining for the ritual to banish the curse would’ve been smarter, but the widow would accept money for her voodoo services if and when the time came.Besides, Hope had accused him of thievery, and he was stretching his neck out for her, whether he knew Isaac or not. Unearthing his father’s hiding spot wouldn’t be easy. This was a business transaction, simply put. She didn’t have to agree to his terms, and the longer she glared, the less likely it became that she would concede.Well, damn, he’d mucked up his chances, yet again.

Leaving Kate By JD Corbett
Contemporary RomancePublisher: Books To Go NowRelease Date: September 10, 2017
No big chances, and no big changes. This was Kate’s motto. With her father out of the picture, and a mother who had quit being “mom” a long time ago, Kate finds herself floating through life under the shelter of her brother and best friend. Afraid of rocking the boat and having to face the world alone, she makes every effort to keep her circle tight. That is, until she meets Eric, the charming Southern boy from Texas who stands out like a sore thumb in the bustling city of D.C. Eric has suffered much in his past, but, unlike Kate, he has learned to grow from his experiences instead of run from them.
When Eric first arrives in the city, he is a bit out of place. His southern drawl and beat up cowboy boots aren’t exactly a fit for the area. Motivated by the necessity to get the best help possible for his mother, he strives to rise above his tragic past and make the most of his new surroundings. He already has plans to be a soldier, just like his father, and he will see his commitments through. After meeting Kate, he thought that falling in love was a positive turning point in his life, but instead he was taken for a ride on an emotional roller coaster.
Just when Kate finally begins to let her guard down, letting Eric in, dark events cloud her new sunny attitude towards life and love. After a traumatic incident that shatters her whole world, fears from her past re-surface and she is forced to decide if she is willing to stay open to love, or if the risk is just too great.
And a decision needs to be made soon or she will lose everything.

And that made her willing to risk everything to claim a piece of him forever….

Fall From Grace by Michelle Gross
Title: Fall From GraceBy: Michelle GrossPublication Date: November 1, 2017Genre: Contemporary RomanceCover Designer: Mayhem Cover Creations#FallFromGraceTour
Our first goodbye wasn’t our choice. Our second was… What do people say about third chances? I would never forget the moment I met Noah at six years old, nor would I forget the way I grew into myself next to him; with him. I didn’t want to forget the way he kissed me for the first time or the way we were two kids pretending it was okay to do adult things. What I did want to forget was the reason I walked away… and how he had to let me go. Loving you had a consequence that was too much to bear. Now I was an empty shell, half of who I was, who I want to be… And I came back home after four long years and this time, I knew you weren’t going to let me go. I’m afraid… because remembering why I walked away from our love in the first place was the hardest part of all. But in order for you to understand my relationship with Noah, I have to start from the beginning… Before our love had a price, before they called our love “puppy love”, before I fell from grace… I was the happiest when I was with him. Funny how my feet felt like lead the days I left you, Noah… But now that I was back, they only felt like running. This is a standalone romance that tells Grace and Noah's story starting at age six, but don't let that detour you from reading their story. This is a book meant for adults, and deals with mature themes. It's a story about two kids loving each other and proving that maybe when you meet the one, you just know, even if you're a kid.

TAP—All I wanted from her was a dirty weekend . . . until that wasn’t enough and I longed for so much more.
She’s my business partner’s sister. Forbidden fruit. Pursuing her can mean trouble for me at Lovibond Brewery. But I don’t care.
An epic love.
A miserable ending.
Unless it’s not.
STOUT—Adelyn Maxwell is my neighbor but she’s no girl next door. The more I come to know her, the more I discover she’s a good girl with a lovely dark side. And maybe I don’t want her to stay on her side of the fence.
These twists and turns of fate will become one of two things: a wrecking ball to tear us apart or the connection to bond us together forever.
PORTER—Frankee Dawson is no longer that girl I once called Kiddo. She’s grown into a beautiful, sexy, desirable woman. Very desirable. And that’s a problem. She’s my employee’s daughter. Lovibond family. And too young for me. Too innocent.
This was supposed to be a hot summer fling. Sex and fun without commitment. That’s what we called it. But we were wrong. This is more.
