Title: Rough LoveSeries: Kindred #3Author: Lizzie JamesGenre: College/Sports RomanceRelease Date: May 26, 2020


Blurb
Logan
After watching my friends all get coupled up and blissfully happy, I vowed that it would never be me. Being with one woman – and only one woman – was enough to make me sick. I’d get bored.I was a cocky fucker and that’s how I planned on staying...Playing the field suited me right and I wasn’t going to give that up for anything. Football and women were all that I knew and that was how it was going to stay.Until she came along…Meghan came into my life and turned it on its axis. She was feisty, had the right amount of sass and didn’t take any of my cockiness to heart. Having her in my life shouldn’t have been as much hard work as it was turning out to be but when I was with her...It all felt right; even though it should feel wrong.
Meghan
I had no time for men. They were a waste of time and energy and were only good for one thing.The last man that I had let into my life had made me learn that lesson. After being made a mother, I was taught that I could only rely on one person. Myself. There was no prince charming; only a prince for the night.Logan was a player. That was obvious. I had vowed to stay as far away as I could from players but when I saw him with my baby girl, I wanted him to be my prince charming. One night was never going to be enough with him...Logan West wasn’t a perfect love. He was a rough love that would leave you torn to pieces when he left.

She was the fruit of a forbidden tree, but nothing in this world was going to stop me from tasting her.

Graham Morgan was my first boss, but soon after I was working with some of the most famous entrepreneurs, business moguls, and movie stars in the city. They trusted me because I always followed the cardinal rules:Never betray secrets. And never, under any circumstance, get personally involved.I’d never dreamed of violating my professional mantra. Not until she walked past me. The look we exchanged that night set my body on fire, and I knew right then and there that no matter the consequences, she was going to be mine. But she was one of them—off limits and out of my league, but she was the kind of woman who I was willing to risk everything for. I keep other people’s secrets for a living, but the biggest secret of all might be my own.

Excerpt
Prologue
The palms of my hands are sweating.Standing in front of an unassuming building, I look up to see its sheer size. Still, it’s inconspicuous because it looks exactly like all the other buildings surrounding it.The sun breaks out just behind the brick building, casting the entrance into shadow.Funny, that. Because I’ve been living in the shadows all my life. Now is the time for me to come out of the shadows, and speak my truth.Speak our truth.There’s a line of cars in front of the building, all marked with the same lettering.My heart beats quickly as a shock of finality runs through my veins.This is where part of me will die and another part of me will live.All my life I’ve been worried about what people think of me. But I can’t continue on in a life where I’m only breathing. I need to learn to live.I take several deep breaths, ready to cross the street and take the leap I’ve been longing for.“You can do this,” I say to myself. The sun is moving higher, the shadow becoming smaller.Yes, you can.I look to my left, and to my right, checking for oncoming cars.I keep walking, crossing the street. I know if I stop for even a second, I’ll talk myself out of going.You can do it.I walk until I come to the automated doors that slowly slide open.Hopefully, they’ll believe you.I head to the counter, where a woman with dark hair pulled back in a severe ponytail and wearing a uniform is working on a computer. She looks up, but remains seated. “Can I help you?” she says in a flat voice.My hands tremble, so I knit them together to stop the emotion bursting to come forward.“I, um,” my voice quivers with uncertainty.“Are you okay?” She stands and comes closer to the counter. She looks behind me, searching for a hint as to why I’m so edgy.“I, um, need to talk to the police unit who deals with sexual abuse.”





Author Bio
STRONG, BRAVE AND COURAGEOUS CHARACTERS.
**Write something worth reading**

I'm Margaret and I'm a self-published author.

Recently I was fortunate in obtaining New York Times best-selling status on my YA/NA book - Ugly, and my YA book - Mistrust.

My last six books have been YA and I'm completely in love with the genre. I love being able to communicate with people through my words and stories.

My writing genres all differ, but the one thing I keep consistent is my heroines. All my female lead characters are strong, gutsy and not the 'perfect' woman. While my books all have romantic elements in them, they aren't just about the romance. They're about finding strength, acceptance and making life long connections.

I hope you enjoy my stories as much as I have while writing them.

Jock Blocked - Pippa Grant

Title: Jock Blocked
Series: Copper Valley Fireballs #1Author: Pippa GrantGenre: Romantic Comedy
 Release Date: May 19, 2020


Blurb
She can’t let him score…
Call it superstition, but when a guy bats as hot as Brooks Elliott, you don’t mess with what’s working. And what’s working is him keeping his pants zipped and doing all of his scoring on the field.
So when I hear he’s planning to ditch his V-card now that he’s been traded to baseball’s lovable losers—aka my home team and my reason for living every March through October—I do what any rational, dedicated, obsessed fan would do.
I make a plan to stop him.
But the thing about stopping him is that it requires spending time with him.
Lots. And lots. And lots of time.
And the more time I spend with him, the more I like him. Not as the guy who’s going to help save my favorite team and finally bring home a championship ring, but as the guy who’s helping me in my quest to bring back the team’s old mascot. Who also loves making pancake and bacon sandwiches. And who would do almost anything for his love of the game.
But after all this time of jock-blocking him…do I even have a chance?
And if I do, are we both destined to a life of celibacy in the name of winning?
Jock Blocked is a home run of a romantic comedy featuring the world’s most superstitious sports fan, baseball’s oldest virgin hero, a rogue meatball, an adorable puppy with a cussing problem, and the best lovable losers. It stands alone and comes with a happily ever after more satisfying than a game-winning grand slam.

Excerpt
Mackenzie Montana, aka a woman on a mission
I never meant to become a criminal. But in the grand scheme of life, I don’t think I’m technically engaging in criminal behavior.At least, if it is, you could call it a crime of passion.And I am verypassionate in my belief that while the Fireballs need to make changes to halt their record-breaking streak of being the worst losing team ever to play professional baseball, they don’t need to do it with a new mascot. Which is why I decided to take two weeks off work and fly to Florida for spring training, where I’m not saying that I’ve snuck into my home team’s ballpark after hours to steal the worst proposed mascot costume, but I’m not saying I haven’t either.Meatballs?They actually let a meatball make the final cut.I needed at least another full season to get over the fact that the new Fireballs ownership killed the last mascot, and here they are, letting fans vote on replacing Fiery the Dragon with flaming meatballs.I snort to myself while I creep through the darkened concrete hallways with a flaming meatball swallowing half of my body.If you’re going to steal a giant meatball costume, it’s best to act like you know what you’re doing. And striding out of here with zero shame means two things—one, no one’s going to stop me, and two, even if they do, I’m incognito.It’s the perfect crime to counter the crime of killing Fiery.I’m one turn away from the door that I left propped open for myself after hiding out in the family bathroom after today’s game when voices drift toward me.One male.One female.Neither is familiar, but as I get closer to my final turn, I realize the voices are between me and my exit.No biggie.I got this.I can stroll on by, flash a thumbs-up, pretend like I’m heading out to prank the Fireballs at the team compound they’re all staying at, or to make a fast-food run for publicity.Acting like I know what I’m doing inside this mascot costume is as easy as breathing. When you’ve seen thousands of baseball games in your lifetime, it’s not hard.So I turn the corner.And then I suck in a surprised breath, because that’s Brooks Elliott.Oh. My. God.Brooks Elliott.The Fireballs’ newest acquisition. Like, so new he arrived yesterday. A mid-spring training acquisition, which is practically unheard of.He plays third base, and he hits the ball like it’s evil incarnate and he’s an avenging angel and it’s his job to send that evil into another dimension.He could be the reason we legitimately have a shot at making it to the post-season.And I am notgoing to hyperventilate like I did the last time I was face-to-face with a baseball player.Pretending to be a mascot?I got this.Talking to the players?It’s like talking to the gods.

The incubus tried to pull me back, but I stretched out my fingers towards the first woman to kiss me, the wicked witch, and the original Rebel…Magenta.
Magenta’s magic hung in the air. It was scented with the intoxicating aroma of the woods, prickling across my magic and the god’s.
I gasped, as my fingers touched the mirror.

Magenta: the wicked witch whose dark magic created the Rebel Academy — a magic paranormal prison for supernatural bad boys. But now I’m back and eager to claim the love and life that was stolen from me, even if first I have to survive the start of term. My enemies trapped me as a ghost on the very cursed grounds that I helped to create. Yet thanks to three deliciously tempting immortals, I’ve been awakened. One is a beautiful incubus who hungers for pleasure. The next a gorgeous shifter and mage who always senses the truth but enjoys his lies far more. Oh, and who could ever forget Loki’s hot trickster son…?Why choose between these sexy delinquents when having them all is such sinful fun? The immortals risked everything to free me, and I’ll stop at nothing to protect them from the elitist princes who rule the reform school. Will my bond with the magical students and new friendships be enough to battle the dangerous rivalries, as well as the cruel professors’ schemes? Or will I be forced back into the darkness……and left to fade away?

Title: BoomerSeries: Ruthless Kings MC #2Author: K.L. SavageGenre: Contemporary MC RomanceRelease Date: May 15, 2020


Blurb
I left my life behind me. My sister. My MC. I need room to breathe and room to think, to make my own choices and to own my mistakes. Bitterness and anger cloud my judgement when it comes to the MC. What is so great about them that I can’t have on the outside? What is so great about the patch? Death? Blood? Fear? That is all I’ve experienced with the club.  I hated to leave my sister. She’s the only reason I stayed as long as I did. But it’s time for something new. And yet, I find myself searching for trouble, wanting—needing to be someone’s savior. I have the best poker face, but when I lay down my winning hand and they shove a girl at me, bound and scared, for my prize, I knowI’ve landed in the middle of something bigger than me.  The girl? Scarlett Rose.My reason for being. My clarity.I just have to prove it to her. She needs protection, and I’ll die before they hurt her again.

Excerpt
“Boomer,” she says again. “My Boom,” Scarlett mumbles, trying to bury her face in my chest again. My heart trips and falls over itself, and a small piece of my darkness turns to light. The constant intrusive thoughts slow and come to a stop. Clarity. I’m not sure how long it will last, but however long I have, I want to spend it holding the woman I’m falling quickly in love with. Her Boom. I like that. I want to be her everything. “What are you doing to me, Scarlett?” I whisper over the top of her head, running my fingers through the raven black hair. She’s so perfect, everything I’ve ever dreamed of. It’s like someone reached into my head and plucked her from my imagination, then sculpted and carved her out of the finest silk just for me. Scarlett is a gift, a fucking present, but for what? I don’t deserve to unwrap her, to smile when she bears herself to me when the time is right.

They write about gritty, alpha males, sometimes their dark sides, and the women they love.
If you have the same itch, their alpha males should fix that.

Hurt to Love by Nikki J Summers

Title: Hurt to LoveAuthor: Nikki J SummersGenre: Dark Romance/Romantic Suspense
Release Date: March 6, 2020


Blurb
After darkness, always comes the light.
The darkness is where I’ve lived ever since they took me all those months ago. Dragging me into the shadows to play their sick and twisted games. I don’t know why they took me. They talk about an eye for an eye, but I don’t know these men. How can I be punished for a sin I know nothing about? A sin I didn’t commit.
They love to watch me suffer, they live to make my life hell. I thought my life was over.
Until him.
He blazed through my darkness like a lightning bolt, shining through the void of nothingness. He was a force to be reckoned with.
They thought they’d broken me, that somehow they’d won. But they didn’t expect him. I know I never did. And now, my life will never be the same again.

CONTENT WARNING: HURT TO LOVE is a romance novel written in shades of darkness and light. There are mature themes included within the story that may make some readers uncomfortable. This includes: kidnapping, captivity, violence, abuse, post-traumatic stress, bad language and some dark and disturbing scenes. Please heed these warnings, and if you’re still intrigued to find out more about Cillian’s story, then enjoy this crazy ride.

Excerpt
They think they’ll break me. They think I’m weak. An eye for an eye they said, but this isn’t my atonement. How can you pay for a sin you never committed? A sin, the depths of which you know nothing about. When will enough be enough? For eight long, torturous months, they’ve used every evil, fucked-up trick in their books to make me crack and splinter. But I’m not made of glass, transparent and ready to shatter. They think they’ll crush me, but I’m already dead inside. I died on the day they took me, dragging me into the shadows to play with their demons. I’m not even fit to have the title of toy like the others. They call me the dog, but if they think I’ll ever be loyal, they’re wrong. I have teeth, and when the time is right, I’ll bite back. They won’t hear my bark. They won’t hear anything from me. Ever.As children, we’re foolishly told that sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will never hurt us. I have a new one. Take my body, abuse me hour after hour. But with my voice, I hold all the power.
