THE REAPER'S KISS by Dale Ibitz

THE REAPER'S KISSby Dale IbitzGenre: Paranormal Romance


Sex and poison aren’t enough to help William forget his status as a shunned reaper with a sordid past. Rejected, disgraced, and hopeless, he straps on his emotional armor so no one will ever hurt him again. His path to redemption for his sins is side-tracked by Natalie, an exquisite human trying to save her sister from the horrors of the Other World. But then Natalie’s reckless actions sets William on a collision course between his past and his present: a demonic tyrant who wants William back in her bed; the sadistic daughter of an angel who wants revenge on his murdering mother-goddess; and the mother-goddess who demands obedience and love from William, her favorite child. After learning the dark secret of Natalie’s past, how much will he sacrifice to save her soul?


William lost himself in sensations: the taste, the smell, the feel, everything that was Natalie. His lips continued their trek along her neck, down to her collarbone, before starting up the other side to taste her other ear. Warmth infiltrated every molecule of his body, melting the darkness in his soul, his heart, and his mind. He wanted Natalie not just physically, but emotionally. He wanted her to want him, to need him.

To love him.

Why was he torturing himself? He was no longer free to pursue her.

Lifting his head, he peered into her eyes, wide and dilated. She breathed heavily, the rise of her breasts pressing against him, stirring a need to tear off her clothes and forever brand her as his.

Her lips parted, drawing his gaze. Slowly, he sucked on her lip ring. Her lips were full and pliant, and she tasted warm and soft, like sunshine.

“Does your mouth hurt?” she whispered when he abandoned her.

“Nothing hurts when I’m touching you.”

And it was true. Overpowered by her essence, the aches dissipated: the ache in his heart, his body, and his soul. He felt whole and free, free to live and love and be a man that could be loved.

If only Natalie could love him back.

Craving another taste, he opened her mouth with his tongue. She welcomed him in, allowing him to push inside as deeply as he wanted. He savored her until she writhed and pressed her curves against his budding hardness. One hand cupped her breast, squeezing until her nipple hardened. When he rolled his thumb over the peak she broke off the kiss to lean her head back and moan. He immediately sought her neck, kissing a trail toward the neckline of her shirt.

The world faded. The bargains faded. His fate faded. All that mattered was Natalie, here and now and kissing him with all the passion he could ever hope for, initiating a desire he now knew only one woman could ever satisfy.

“Ahem.”

William froze as Bianca’s voice slammed the door on his fantasy. Closing his eyes, he murmured, “Sorry. I forgot where we were for a moment,” before stepping away and facing the other woman. To his surprise, she was grinning.

“I see you haven’t lost your touch.”

Natalie blushed. He could tell by the wave of heat hitting his back. Needing to put distance between them, he straddled the chair once again. Unable to behold his Natalie without striding across the room and kissing her, he distracted himself by sloshing another shot of vodka into his cup and tossing it down. He shuddered when the burn hit the back of his throat.

“But,” Bianca continued, “I thought the whole point of this exercise was to keep the girl’s soul safe.”

He studied the table, unresponsive, unable to admit the kiss had been all pleasure, not business. At least on his part.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

He winced at Natalie’s question. She just couldn’t stop asking questions, could she? Gripping the cup in his hands, he braced himself for Bianca’s answer. If there had been any wavering in Natalie’s feelings toward him, it was about to unravel.

Sun Kissed by the Billionaire by Lizabeth Scott

Title: Sun Kissed by the BillionaireSeries: The Kissed Series #3Author: Lizabeth ScottGenre: Steamy Contemporary RomanceRelease Date: September 4, 2017


Blurb
From the bestselling author of The Kissed Series comes the highly anticipated third installment, Sun Kissed by the Billionaire. What would you sacrifice for the one you love? 
She’s gone.
Marc stared at the early morning lights as it played across the ceiling above him.
Every morning I wake up, and for a split-second…I don’t remember she left.
I don’t remember the unfounded accusations hurled my way, or how I wanted to rip the divorce papers into infinite pieces like she did to us.
But then I blink, and it all comes rushing back.
Every. Single. Day.
And night.
My dreams are filled with the raspy sounds of her voice urging me on, the bite of pain as her nails dig desperately into my back, and the way she looks to the heavens in awe as I push her over the edge.
And then…I wake up, and her side of the bed is as cold as my wrecked heart.
Why?
Throwing his legs over the side of the bed Marc dropped his head into his hands, grinding the palms of his hands into his sleep deprived eyes, with only one thought to get him through the day…
I’m not going to stop until I know why she threw us away.  **Every Lizabeth Scott book is a “Cliffhanger FREE Zone!” Inside each story, you will find flawed alpha heroes who like to have their way with strong, quirky, yet endearing heroines who love their wicked ways. You’ll find plenty of toe curling steaminess with a laugh or two along the way, and always a happy ending.

Early Reviews
I am in love with Marc, so I am telling you, Ms. Scott, that you need to put a warning on this book telling the women to keep their dirty thoughts about him at bay because I have claimed him as mine.  I will even lick him to make it official.   *******************OMG I want Marc and you had me going the whole time.  I couldn't predict where you were taking me next and I love that.  The twist… good Lord, that was brilliant.  ******************Can I just say I am freaking in love with Marc. OMG where did this man come from and are there extras.   ****************I started this book on Saturday morning and couldn't put it down until I finished at 1AM! I had to see what happened next. What I thought would happen totally didn't! Great one!  ****************



Excerpt
Callie stared at the pen her lawyer laid before her. “Sign here, then initial here, and here.”With only a few marks on a piece of paper, she’d end the best thing that had ever happened to her. Her eyes dropped to her hands, clasped tightly in her lap. The promises she’d made with the shiny stone on her ring finger taunted her. She’d been so happy the day Marc had asked her to marry him and placed the ring on her finger. Since that day, she’d never once removed the diamond solitaire. Nine months of sheer bliss with the man she loved. Her eyes began to water as the diamond swam in and out of focus. Hurting Marc was the worst part of it all. But hurting him now, by her own hand, was the only way she knew to protect him. “Callie,” Rebecca, her lawyer, asked. “Do you have any questions?”She fought against the dizziness, shook her head and slowly picked up the pen. “No, no questions.” The cool metal felt heavy in her hand, just like the burden she’d been carrying most of her life. She had nobody to blame but herself for ever thinking she could bury her past. She’d been distracted by the brilliance of her love for Marc, and their relationship had moved too fast. They had fallen in love and were married less than a month after they’d met. He’d come into her life like a whirlwind and made her believe she deserved to be happy. She didn’t. She’d been too weak to walk away when she should have, before things went too far, and now she had to hurt the man she’d grown to love deeply and endlessly. It seemed cruel, but was the exact opposite. “Callie, are you sure you want to sign those papers?”No, she didn’t want to sign them, but there was no other way. “I’m sure.”“I have to ask you again, is that the total amount you want? Marc is worth billions. You could be set for life if you’d ask for your fair share.”Money. She’d give it all up if it meant she’d get to keep Marc. “I want no more than the amount I stated, including the clause that additional funds are forever non-negotiable.”Rebecca looked ready to argue the point again. “Callie, you’re not even asking for alimony.”Callie’s eyes blazed and her voice rose. “I don’t want it, Rebecca. We were only married for nine months. It was a marriage that never should have happened in the first place.” Nine perfect months that she would cherish for the rest of her life. Well, it had been perfect until she’d accused Marc of being unfaithful. Since that day, they’d had so many fights she’d lost count. She leaned forward to sign, but Rebecca stopped her.“One hundred thousand dollars isn’t going to go very far when you consider maintaining your lifestyle.”Maintaining her lifestyle. That was a joke. The life she’d lived with Marc had been magical, like a dream come true. She could never replicate that without him. But that wasn’t her lifestyle. Luxury houses, drivers, designer clothes, chefs—those weren’t her. Marc had been all she’d ever wanted. Not things. She’d have no trouble returning to what she knew best. Straightening her back, blinking to focus on the lines, Callie signed her name in the appropriate spots and pushed the papers away. “Are we finished here?”Rebecca looked like she wanted to argue, then relented. “Yes, but I still wish you’d reconsider.”Callie shook her head and stared at the papers mocking her on the table. Her last remaining connection with Marc. “Do you have my check?”Rebecca shuffled through a file and handed over a white envelope. With much more bravery than she actually felt, Callie took the check and stood on unsteady legs. She gave herself a moment for the trembling to settle before turning around. She pulled off her ring and held it out. “Would you see that Marc gets this, please?”Rebecca paused and Callie braced for another confrontation, but then Rebecca took the ring from her cold fingers. “Yes, of course.”“Thank you, Rebecca. I’ll send my forwarding address once I’m settled.” But she wouldn’t. It would be better just to disappear.After shaking hands, Callie walked out of the New York office and never once looked back, because if she did, she would crawl back to Marc and beg him to forgive her. And she loved him too much ever to do that.

Excerpt

“Climb gates around here often?” he asked, no censure in his voice. I realized he spoke English as fluently as he spoke Spanish.

He was clad in navy basketball shorts, a pair of Nike running shoes and he was just sweaty enough for me to realize he’d likely been working out. I swear I was hypnotized by all of his exposed skin, so much so that I could just about remember my own name at that moment. I’d have blamed the fall for my dazed and confused frame of mind but that wasn’t it at all. It was purely because of him—the sexy Spanish-speaking god who’d saved me from certain harm. My eyes trailed along his muscular but lean body hungrily as I catalogued just how ridiculously gorgeous he was. I was hypnotized by his six-pack and the set of V-cut muscles I had an insane urge to trail my fingers over.

I’d have kept right on staring had he not cleared his throat. I cringed as I came back to reality and realized he’d asked a question I hadn’t retained.

“Um, huh?” I asked, perfectly clueless.

“I was asking if you’re a professional gate climber,” he said huskily.

“No, I—”

“She’s really fine after a fall from that height?” the officer asked as he came through the gate.

“She never hit the ground,” my savior said, “since I caught her.”

The cop looked almost as impressed as I felt. I’d have heaped praised onto the stranger who saved me had I not remembered that I needed to be focused on a more pressing concern.

“So now that I’m on this side I really need to get my—”

The officer pinned me with a look that left no doubt that he was in charge. “Miss, please remain silent while I work out what’s going on here.”

I pursed my lips and tried to contain my annoyance. I knew he was just doing his job but all I cared about was finding Elvis.

The officer turned back to the Spanish model—I naturally assumed he modeled because he looked like he belonged in sensual looking black and white ads for men’s cologne. You know the kind of ads I’m talking about, right? There’s always a sexy guy giving you the let’s have all the sex look with a set of eyes that are clearly attempting to hypnotize you into buying something.

He was at least six feet tall and had a head full of thick, dark hair. His face was perfectly proportioned from forehead to chin, and I could find nothing that didn't appear to be symmetrical. He had a ridiculously sexy closely trimmed beard that I wanted to trace with my fingers and his jaw was the sexiest thing I’d ever seen. I turned crimson when my eyes trailed up and met his and I realized he was observing me—which meant he knew I’d been staring at him. Again.

I bit my lip and tried not to blush as I blinked like an idiot. I was relieved to have a reason to look to the police officer when he cleared his throat to get our attention. “Are you the one who called about the disturbance down the side of the house?” he asked.

I couldn’t resist the urge to let my eyes wander back to the Spanish god. I knew just enough Spanish to determine that if his looks were rated on the salsa scale he’d be called el más caliente.

His eyes were on me as he answered the cop. “My brother called, yes.”

“What’s your name, sir?”

“Alejandro Cruz.”

Even his name was sexy. My skin felt hot and prickly under his gaze. Anxious for a reprieve, I looked back to the officer.

The cop nodded as he took note of it on his pad. “And your brother's name?”

“Rafael Cruz.”

“And you?” the cop asked with a head nod toward me.

“Kaya Porter.”

“Can you spell that?”

“K-a-y-a,” I answered.

“That’s a weird name,” the officer said as he wrote it down.

I wasn't sure if he was being rude or not so I shrugged and said nothing. Alejandro growled something under his breath that I couldn’t understand. A shiver went down my back at the way the words rolled off his tongue. His Spanish accent fascinated me. I’d never been one to care one way or the other about a man’s voice, but his did things to me. I wondered if audio erotica was a thing. If it were, I would pay a subscription fee to hear him talk all day.

“So were you trying to escape or get in?” the officer asked, ruining my good fantasy about an Alejandro Cruz dirty talk subscription service.

“I was trying to get in,” I answered stiffly, annoyed that the officer had already forgotten everything I’d said, “I told you—”

“No, no, she is not the disturbance,” Alejandro interjected. “My brother thought someone was trying to steal God only knows what from the exterior of the house. He was asleep and heard something outside his bedroom window and panicked. He shouldn’t have called the police—it’s animal control that we need. Some dickhead bird went through the trash that my brother forgot to secure and he’s been leading him on one hell of a chase around the yard.”

My eyes narrowed and my hands went to my hips as I stared down the model. “Don’t talk about my little buddy like that,” I snapped.

Author: Adriana LockeGenre: Romantic Comedy/Sports RomanceRelease Date: September 7, 2017


Blurb
People say not to believe the things you read in magazines, but you know what? Most things you’ve heard about me are probably true.
I totally banged the reporter in the locker room after the championship game last year.
Those pictures in Expose from last summer? Those were not modified.
I’m also not really six-foot tall. (But let’s keep that between us.)
Now, I know you’re wondering about that last Expose headline—the one about me and my teammate (and ex-best friend) Finn Miller’s sister, Layla James. That one is a little more complicated.
Here’s the thing: I’ve played football my whole life. If there’s one thing I know, it’s how to adjust when the game changes. And if there’s one thing I always do, it’s find a way to win.
Granted, the stakes are higher. The playbook has changed. There’s more on the line than (another) MVP title. But guess what hasn’t changed? Me. I’m still Branch “Lucky” Best and I’m not about to fumble this one.
Grab a seat and a subscription to Expose. I’m about to make some headlines. (Again.)
A sexy, swoon-filled standalone novel.

Excerpt
“One question,” Poppy interjects, looking at Branch. “What position are you?”“I typically like the bottom so I can watch—oomph,” he says, getting another elbow from Finn. “Wide receiver. Why?”Looking at Poppy, I can’t help but laugh as her eyes light up.“You got a problem with wide receivers?” Branch asks.“You do,” Finn interjects, giving me a narrowed glare. “They aren’t any better than quarterbacks.”Branch looks from me, to Finn, and back to me. “Why do we not like quarterbacks?”“My sister was dating Callum Worthington.”“No shit?” His face puckers like he just bit into a lemon. “How in the hell did that cocksucker end up with you?”“He didn’t. We’re not together anymore.”Branch’s eyes heat, the look causing my pulse to quicken. “I’m not a bit sorry to hear that.”“You better forget you heard any of that,” Finn warns. “This is my sister, Branch. Not a cheerleader or reporter or some chick from a dating app. Got it?”“Finn, relax,” I say, shoving a swallow past the lump in my throat. “I appreciate the big brother spiel, but I can handle myself.”“I know you can,” he says, pulling his gaze away from Branch. “But you can’t handle him.”

DEAR DIARY, by Susan Horsnell

DEAR DIARY,by Susan HorsnellGenre: Children's Fiction


Rebecca is an eleven-year-old girl whose father has taken a job in a new town.
This means she is forced into a new school.
Shorter than most her age, and not quite as intelligent, makes her a prime target for ongoing bullying.

The only thing she can trust in, confide in, is her Diary.

A story about the real danger of bullying which every child should read.

This story is fictional but based on a true to life event.



Landing Page ✯ Goodreads



I have written two children's books during my career.

This is my second, dedicated to my nephew who took his own life just a few weeks after he turned twelve years old.

I have five grandchildren who are subjected to bullying, a coward's way of displaying power over another and occurs at any age.

Hopefully through this book, both children and adults will learn how dangerous bullying can be. It's not something which can be dismissed as a childhood 'stage.'

My first book – Secret Beneath the House - is the story of two children left alone for the day. What they find under the house is another magical world.

I also write Best Selling/Award Winning Western Romance and Best Selling Contemporary Romance under a pen name.

I have been married for 43 years, have 2 married sons and 5 gorgeous grandchildren.

Hubby and I are retired and love to travel Australia with our caravan, our elderly Jack Russell dog – Caellagh (Kelly) and a very opinionated Cockatiel called Rocky.
