My true passion is romance with some suspense and mystery. Giving my readers a reason to turn the page, with edge-of-your-seat thrills.
I love to write about sexy characters, alpha males and strong females. No matter what my story entails, know that you will leave with a warm fuzzy feeling and a HEA always.
Real life, well, let's face it, can kind of suck sometimes. Full of stress and so many depressing things happening in the world. Reading is a way to escape the pressures of real life. This is why I like to give my readers a promise of a happy ending.
In life I think the simple pleasures are the ones that make the difference: coffee, wine, and a good book, to name a few.
I also love all animals, a soft spot in my heart for elephants. And of course, my fur babies. Two miniature dachshunds that make me smile every day. a Rafflecopter giveawayRafflecopter Link:  http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/ea80a6ed142/

Fourteen years ago, high school track star Sydney Adams was gunned down in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park. The investigation yielded useless clues, and the case went cold. But homicide detective Augustus Knox never gave up on finding Sydney's killer. Now, retired from the police force and with only months to live, he enlists the help of private investigator Jocelyn Rush to clear the case once and for all.

Armed with little more than a theory as to who murdered Sydney, Jocelyn tries to lure a killer into the open. But unraveling the mystery means facing-off against a cunning psychopath whose ruthlessness knows no bounds. When more bodies start to pile up, Jocelyn has to decide just how far she's willing to go to catch a cold-blooded killer.

Forged by Love by Laura Strickland

Forged by LoveSeries: Lobster Cove Author: Laura StricklandPublisher: The Wild Rose PressGenre: Historical FictionRating: SensualOriginal Release Date: January 8, 2016 Newly returned home to Lobster Cove from the War Between the States, blacksmith Douglas Grier can’t forget the horrors he’s witnessed or the beautiful young woman he helped break free from her shackles one dark night after her master’s plantation burned. He wishes he had at least asked her name, even though she and her family disappeared into the darkness and Douglas has no expectation of seeing her again.Josie Freeman can’t remember the last time she felt safe. Even though she and her family are freed, they’re being pursued by slave hunters hired by their former owner. When their ship is damaged on the way to Nova Scotia, Josie is thrown into contact with the one man she never expected…the very man she had wanted to see. But will her past catch up with her before Douglas can free her heart?Hello, folks. Sir, I don’t suppose you remember me.”Josie stared at the man who spoke, afraid to believe her eyes. Tall and with bare shoulders that gleamed in the sun, he had a crop of wavy black hair and skin almost as dark as her own. Though he spoke to Daniel, his brown eyes sought hers and held them, his wonder evident to see.Not remember him? From the instant he stepped on the wharf, Josie’s attention had been snagged—and not just because he was a good-looking man. No, for the pull she’d felt from the first they sighted this place heightened almost unbearably, every one of her inner instincts sitting up and howling.Not remember him? Had there been a moment since that night he hadn’t been, somehow, with her?Her lips parted, but she didn’t speak. Daniel’s deep voice sounded instead.“Of course, of course we remember you, sir. How could we forget?”“Good to see you again.” The man focused on Daniel at last and extended a hand to him without hesitation. “But what sort of happenstance has brought you here where we might cross paths again?”“A long story, sir, and one with a full measure of sorrow.” Daniel shook the man’s hand with the innate courtesy that always marked him.The fellow’s gaze stole back to Josie, and she promptly went breathless. “I’m very glad to see you safe. That night—well, I never did get your names.”“Daniel Freeman, sir. This here is my son Michael, his wife Eunice, and their child Hetty. And my own girl, Josie.”“Douglas Grier, and I’m glad to meet you properly.”Michael leaned forward to shake Douglas Grier’s hand. “I’m happy, Mr. Grier, to have a chance to thank you. It was a fine thing you did for us that night.”Douglas Grier smiled, and his somber face transformed as if lit from within. Josie’s heart fluttered like a wild bird before resuming a double-time beat.Calm yourself, girl. He’s done no more than look at you.Grier turned to her. “Josie Freeman,” he repeated as if he memorized it, and took Josie’s hand.She promptly went dizzy as sudden images pressed upon her, blotting out the present. His hands coming at her, so strong and yet gentle, out of the darkness that night. The way he’d touched her, with such care and respect, and the way he’d looked at her as if he could see right down to the bottom of her soul.He smiled again and Josie’s poor heart pounded in response. “What a marvel this is. I’ve wondered a hundred times what happened to you after that night.” Amazon US ~ Amazon CA ~ Amazon UK ~ The Wild Rose Press ~ B&N ~ All Romance Books ~ Goodreads

13 ~ Julie Elizabeth Powell
What is found within the depths of the human soul? Does wickedness linger, as if the Devil’s thumb is ready to pluck the strings of certain choices? And with the strumming, just how far will Evil spread? 13 is the story of random souls pitted against the tragedy of the modern world. What is their connection, if any? Nameless; are these merely humans whose weaknesses force them to commit heinous crimes, or demons under the skin, aware of their sins yet indifferent to the outcome? Will they decipher the unknown and make it out alive? Who is watching, what is the end? 13 examines the modern world, its failings, its image, its ever increasing race to destruction – its collapse of values meant to further mankind rather than annihilate. It questions choices, peering into the distorted ethics and morals of where humanity stands today, what it has lost and whether or not there is any hope for the future. If morals have become simplistic and vague, tainted intellectually and rigid, can it only give rise to succumbing to personal motives and flaws, focussing only on self-preservation? Or is it a result of what has been lost in the face of progress? Where such ideology needs re-evaluating; where tradition, continuity, conservation, stability and constraints on behaviour have great value...maybe progress is the expression of ruin after all? 13 wallows in horror, not only in blood but the psychological neglect of why the modern world must be wary of its way forward and not succumb to self-interests, where greed, amongst other negative traits, is personified to such an extent that nothing is left to save us. 13 could be seen as a résumé of failures, yet, for those who read it, maybe it will filter enough into consciousness that the tide may be turned. Or perhaps Destiny has other ideas? Warning: strong language and scenes of violence /horror/drugs/sex Slots ~ R.E. Hargrave

Irrationally His, The Collection By Jessa Jacobs

Author: Jessa JacobsTitle: Irrationally His, The CollectionRelease Date:  January 12, 2016Publisher: Mad for Romance PublishingCover Designer: EDH GraphicsGenre: Contemporary RomanceEditor: Candice Royer
The five titles in the Irrationally His series are brought together in one seamless read in Irrationally His, The Collection.
Chelsea couldn’t stand Travis ten years ago when her mother married his dad and moved to his ranch in Montana. The feeling was mutual. He stayed – she went to live with her dad. On the occasion of a week-long ten-year anniversary party, they meet as virtual strangers, and sparks still fly. The trouble is, where sparks fly, fire soon follows. Even though he’s too cocky, too arrogant, too flippant and a bum, she can’t keep her mind and soon her hands off of him. And even though she’s illogical, unfathomable and completely annoying, she’s all woman and irresistible to him.
Nothing but trouble can come from them acting on their desires. The question is, just how much trouble are they willing to tolerate for the sake of exploring how far their passion will take them?

What people are saying about the series...
Travis and Chelsea, described by one reviewer at the beginning as “an uncommitted, somewhat self centered man, and a directionless and slightly flakey woman” meet as virtual strangers on his father’s ranch, where his father and her mother are about to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary in opulent style. Undeniable chemistry versus misunderstandings, separation, and tragedy inevitably change and mature them. The question is whether they’re right for each other in the greater scheme of things. Only time and distance will tell.”



Chelsea“You do know you’re trespassing, right?”The voice startled me from a sound sleep and my eyes flew open to reveal what I at first thought was a vision straight out of my book. From my position, lying on my back, he looked too tall to be real, and the tight-fitting jeans, plaid Western shirt, and Stetson hat did nothing to dispel that thought. The expression on his face puzzled me at first. A wide grin revealed perfect teeth and belied the words he’d spoken.I started to answer when I noticed his eyes flick from my face to my — oh, my God! My chest. My bare boobs. What the hell? I crossed my arms over myself and sat up in one motion. Looking around wildly for my shirt, I heard him speak.“Looking for this?”I hadn’t answered his accusation of trespassing, but I had plenty to say about him holding my shirt out of my reach. I wanted to cover way too much quivering flesh A-S-A-P. Thank God my lower half wasn’t naked. That would have been too much. Literally.“Give me that, you bastard!” As I spoke, I lifted my face to glare at him. With a cocky grin, he tossed my shirt to me, but didn’t look away. “You could at least turn your back while I put this on.” When he didn’t, I snarled, “You’re no gentleman.”“Didn’t say I was,” was his laconic reply.When he still didn’t turn away, I had no choice but to let one arm move to retrieve the shirt, and then to expose my boobs to his gaze again as I lifted my arms to pull the shirt over my head. Although I was covered, it wasn’t much better as the shirt was a bit too small, and in my haste to cover myself, I’d skipped the bra. A quick glance downward made me groan. In the now-chilly air under the shade of a tree, my traitorous nipples were in full evidence under the thin fabric. As was my belly. I sucked it in.I was at a severe disadvantage in my sitting position on the ground, so I stood to look him in the eye. It wasn’t usually a problem for me, at my five-eleven height. Nevertheless, I had to look up several inches to meet his. “I’m not trespassing.”He quirked one eyebrow, the challenge clear. Then he looked pointedly at my chest again.I crossed my arms. “My mother is married to the owner of this ranch.” His eyes widened. “Is she? How nice for you.”“How long were you standing there getting an eyeful before you woke me?” I asked. I was about two seconds from punching this asshole in his pretty face.“Oh, I don’t know,” he answered with a slow drawl.  “Ten minutes? Fifteen?”“You bastard!” I exclaimed again. “I assume you work for my step-dad. I’m going to have you fired.”“You assume wrong, Chelsea,” he said.

Like you, I'm a reader. When I read a good story with characters I can connect with, my everyday existence fades into the background as I enter a world that may contain exotic locations, adventure and excitement. And, if I can be totally honest with you, in my favorite stories I can fall in love for a while with an impossibly gorgeous guy who is the best lover imaginable.

So, maybe it won't come as a surprise that in my books you'll find hot alpha male book-boyfriends, sassy heroines who are much more clever and beautiful than I am, and stories I hope will make you laugh and cry while reading them, as I did while writing them. Oh, and some scenes you may want to role-play with your lover.

Suffer a Witch by Claudia Hall Christian

SUFFER A WITCHAUTHOR: Claudia Hall ChristianGENRE: Paranormal Suspense Romance
Original Release Date: September 22, 2015

They call her “Em.” Em for Martha. Em for “Emogene Peres” the name she received in Boston less than a day after she’d been hanged in Salem Village in September 1692. Em and most of those hanged as Salem Witches were transformed into immortal witches only a few hours after they were deemed Salem Witches. Three hundred and twenty-two years later, they live, work, and love in modern day Boston, Massachusetts where Em runs a spiritual store called the Mystic Divine, just off the Boston Commons. On the anniversary of the first hanging, June 10, 2014, Em learns that a young man and a team of ghost hunters have dedicated themselves to finding the crevice where the Salem Twenty’s bodies were stuffed after hanging. The problem is that Em and the rest of the Salem Twenty are making full use of those skeletons. What starts with a young man with big ideas brings the Salem Witches face to face with their demons. In Suffer a Witch, you will meet the Salem Witches as you’ve never seen them. Through their eyes, you get a sense of what happened all those years ago. Their stories will move you to tears and make you laugh out loud. Join them as they face a battle they have prepared for their entire lives. “You’re a witch!”A man’s voice laced with vitriol echoed off the storefront. Several people walking on the sidewalk stopped to stare at him. Em glanced to her left to see a homeless man wearing ragged, dirty clothing, long greasy, grey hair, and a filthy beard leaning against a pillar of the building next door to the Mystic Divine, Em’s metaphysical shop.“Repent!” the man screamed and pointed at her. His finger turned to point toward the heavens. “Repent or feel the wrath! The hangman is not far away!”Em scowled at the man. He lifted a shoulder in a shrug.“Old habits die hard,” the man said with a grin. “Plus, the acoustics are great here.”Shaking her head at him, Em shifted her paper coffee cup to her left hand and dug around in her purse for her keys. The man walked toward her.“Ye be a witch!” The man’s voice came like a thunderbolt from a pulpit.Em yelped with surprise. The plastic lid of her coffee cup dislodged, and her coffee spilled on the ground.“George!” Em said. “You made me spill my coffee.”“Sorry, Em,” Reverend George Burroughs said.“You should be,” Em said. “God, you smell awful!”George gave her a gap-toothed smile.“That is not a compliment,” Em said.George laughed. He leaned in to hug her, and she waved him away.“Get inside,” Em said.George slunk into the shop. He stopped near the door and turned to hug her. Em shook her head. She gave him a key and waved her hands toward the stairs in the back of the shop. Whistling an ancient hymn, George went through the shop like a pungent parade. He took the stairs in the back and disappeared upstairs.Em’s eyes lingered on the door to her apartment a moment longer than she’d have liked. Shaking her head at herself, she started opening the small shop. She turned on Tiffany floor lamps and put away the few things left out the night before. The Mystic Divine specialized in all forms of spirituality. The most ardent evangelical Christian and the Wiccan could both find the tools and education they needed to live their spiritual life. The store was laid out in such a way that there were nooks for reading, small private rooms for spiritual readings, and two larger group rooms in the loft upstairs. Em picked up a microfiber cloth and dusted the section on Gurdieff’s The Fourth Way. The shop made most of its income off of religious counseling and psychic readings. George was a particularly popular tarot reader.She glanced at the door to her apartment and wondered if he was reading tonight. Longing welled up inside of her. In her mind’s eye, she saw him standing under a stream of warm water in his shower. Feeling her presence, he smiled and gestured for her to join him.“No,” Em said out loud.She forced herself to get out her laptop and read her email. The next time she looked up, George was holding a cup of coffee in front of her nose. His long, grey hair was wet and tied back. He’d shaved. He was wearing clean clothes from his side of the closet. She took the mug from him, and he rewarded her with a soft smile. They drank coffee in hungry silence.“What are you caught up in?” George asked.“Some kids are into the whole Salem thing,” Em said. “I was watching their videos. They’ve found Gallow’s Hill, you know — the real one, not the park.”“Oh, yeah?” George asked“They say they’ve caught Bridget’s ghost on camera.”“How is that possible?” George asked.“Who knows?” Em shrugged. “Maybe we lost our souls when we were hanged.”George instinctively rubbed his neck. Em smiled at his gesture.“How did this morning go?” George asked.“Bridget was on the hill,” Em said.“What?” George squinted with surprised.“She was even wearing a reproduction of the dress she was hanged in. Shoes, too.”“She can’t be there!” George said.“I told her, but you know how she is,” Em said. “What’s the point of . . .”“ . . .being immortal if you can’t do what you want,” George joined Em in quoting Bridget.“Exactly,” Em said. “She told me about these kids. You know, Bridget’s convinced that there was an actual specter which tormented our accusers.”“Bridget,” George gave a sad shake of his head.“You know, I never thought of it,” Em said.“Of what?” George asked.“I never gave even one thought to the idea that there might have actually been an entity that tortured those girls,” Em said. “I always thought they were . . .”“Full of shit,” George said in unison with her.“But this morning,” Em nodded, “I mean, Bridget was so sure that I wondered if she was onto something. Let’s say there was an entity. It presented to the girls in our likeness. And . . .”Em shook her head.“And?” George raised his eyebrows. “Disappeared for the last three hundred and twenty-two years?”“And nothing,” Em said with a shrug. “That’s as far as I got. Do you think it’s possible?”“No,” George said. Amazon Kindle ~ Amazon Paperback ~ Kobo ~ B&N ~ Goodreads Claudia Hall Christian is a consummate storyteller.

When Stephanie Moore—aka: Step On Me More—is welcomed by Shelburne High as the new principal, taking an anti-bullying stance becomes a dangerous game. One that could cost Kailyn and Lisa not only their careers, but the lives of the students they seek to protect.

Mary M. Ricksen
Born in Vermont, Mary Ricksen, being the daughter of a government official, spent her youth in several places. From New York, Texas, and Virginia, to the beautiful city of Ottawa, her family moved every three years to a new place. A great love of horses found her cleaning stalls and grooming for the privilege of just being near them.

The people she met were diversified. And the scenery ranged from the aqua brilliance of the crystal waters of Florida, to the mountains of Vermont and North Carolina. Mary was always drawn to the beauty of Vermont. Now living in Florida, she still feels the call of those peaks and the tranquil waters of Lake Champlain.

Mary married and lives with her two German Shepherds, a calico cat and her computer engineer husband.

It was the love of books that inspired her to write. Reading, being one of her favorite things, took her to places that she wanted to go. Somewhere between the pharaohs of Egypt and the whimsical world of Zanth, she found a voice. Writing led her to meet some of the most interesting people she has ever known. The mind of a writer is a wonderful thing. And that alone was worth the effort.

ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: November 10, 2015

One ex-convict, one detective, one ranch, one hell of a ride.When twenty-four-year-old Mickey Mercer walked out of the Denver Women’s Correctional Facility she had two things on her mind: the friends she left behind and the rough road ahead. She had a failing ranch, a rundown home, and an angry ex-boyfriend determined to crush her. That was until a stranger appointed himself her personal savior. Detective McKinley’s job was to protect and serve. His life was consumed by work until he found Mickey walking down a dusty road. She was a mess and in trouble, and t. There was nothing sexier than trouble. Mickey was everything he wanted, but nothing he needed. That was the lie he told himself. Set Free is a story about love, hope, and redemption. Sometimes, people aren’t what they seem. Sometimes, they’re better. The white Ford pickup idled quietly— waiting. Fear squeezed my throat like a noose. Could it be him? I backed away while the window silently lowered. “Do you need a ride?” The husky voice called from across the seat. So many emotions filled me. Relief. Fear. Desire. A sizzling energy threaded through every nerve in my body. It was a tingly zap of recognition. Morse code for my libido? Electrocution by attraction?Looking into the clean truck and feeling the cool air seep out the window made it easy to take the risk. Without hesitation, I pulled on the door handle and hopped in the truck. “Yes. Thanks. Being near the prison, I didn’t think anyone would stop.” I reached forward and turned the air vents to my face. His inspection of me was short but thorough. The feel of his eyes sweeping across my body made the air around me crackle. It had been a long time since a man had seen me. Sure, the guards watched me daily, but they never actually saw me. I was a number, not a person. The window rose and the door lock engaged. The sound caused fleeting anxiety. Buckled into my safety belt, the truck propelled forward. I sat in the sexy stranger’s car— captive. Amazon US ~ Amazon UK ~ Kobo ~ Nook ~ iTunes Kelly Collins writes with the intention of keeping the love alive.

The Good One By Amie Nichols

Expectations almost cost her everything.

Title:  The Good OneAuthor:  Amie NicholsGenre:  Romantic SuspenseCover Designer:  Sara EirewRelease Date:  January 5, 2016 River Scott is the daughter of a billionaire. She runs her father's company and does what she is told, including cleaning up after her out-of-control, socialite, wild-child baby sister. 
After a tragic night fifteen years ago, River feels she has no choice but to continue on the path of being the good one, keeping her sister in check and always pleasing her father. 
She's in a dead-end relationship, but all she wants is love, passion, and sweep-you-off-your-feet excitement. 
Because of her sister, she meets ex-male escort, Damian Matthews. Their attraction is by far like nothing either have experienced. He gives her everything she wants and so much more. 
Unfortunately, this is not the guy River's father would approve of. He approves of Ryan Lane, a wealthy, successful playboy who is ready to settle down and start a life in politics. She knows Ryan is the smart choice, but no one makes her feel like Damian does. 
When River starts dating Damian, a set of events are put into motion changing everything she thought she knew about her family. 
Can River get what she wants without losing everything and hurting the one person she has sworn to protect for the rest of her life? 
This is a standalone novel. Due to strong language and sexual situations, this book is meant for adults over 18.



"The others are waiting for us." I grab some folders off my desk and walk past him. Before I can open the door, his arms have me pinned against it. His hands flat against the wood on both sides of my head. I stop, unable to move, as he presses his front to my back. I feel his rock-hard erection against the small of my back.
"Damian," I cry softly. I'm shocked, a little scared, and a whole lot turned on at the same time.
"Do you know that this has never happened to me from just looking at a woman? Not to mention, a fully clothed one." He breathes into my hair. "In fact, since I've met you, just the thought of you makes my dick hard. It aches for you. I ache for you."

My true passion is romance with some suspense and mystery. Giving my readers a reason to turn the page, with edge-of-your-seat thrills.
I love to write about sexy characters, alpha males and strong females. No matter what my story entails, know that you will leave with a warm fuzzy feeling and a HEA always.
Real life, well, let's face it, can kind of suck sometimes. Full of stress and so many depressing things happening in the world. Reading is a way to escape the pressures of real life. This is why I like to give my readers a promise of a happy ending.
In life I think the simple pleasures are the ones that make the difference: coffee, wine, and a good book, to name a few.
I also love all animals, a soft spot in my heart for elephants. And of course, my fur babies. Two miniature dachshunds that make me smile every day. a Rafflecopter giveawayRafflecopter Link:  http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/ea80a6ed142/
