Blaze, Silver Devils 2by April ZyonGet Blaze

Loving Rowan has been something Blaze has lived with since before the woman was, well, a woman. He felt like a pervert when he first realized how much he needed her in his life. She is spunky, sassy, drop-dead gorgeous, and can make a hell of a drink if you get her at the right time. Still, the biggest reason that he hasn’t pursued Rowan isn’t because she is a hell of a lot younger than he is, but because she is his best friend’s little cousin. You don’t mess with the club president’s family. Ever.

Working in a place like The Bar is nirvana to her. It’s too bad that she hates her boss and his skanky mistress. No, Rowan loves the work she does. Nothing can ruin the happiness she’s found there, not even Mona and Jake, the owner of The Bar. The only bad part of working there is the knowledge that Blaze, and the other Silver Devils, come into The Bar often. After all, she’s been in love with the man since before she hit puberty. No, life is good—until it isn’t. And Rowan can’t even tell her cousin and his club the reasons…

Grab it Here !EXCERPT (PG)Redemption: Freely Given
 Her shift had only just begun at the Shaved Pussy and already her feet hurt, so did her ass. She was only a waitress there, but the men seemed to think that because she worked at a strip club, they could smack her ass and pinch it as much as they wanted.
The bouncers always appeared to look the other way as well, fuckers. As long as the talent wasn’t being harassed, the men didn’t really give two figs, as long as she wasn’t hurt badly enough to cause her to have to leave her shift. That was all that was important to them, and she knew it. She was barely a commodity to them because she didn’t dance to earn money for the bar.
 Another hand landed on her ass while she tried to sidestep a drunk that was sitting there and continuously attempting to get her to give him just twenty minutes in the VIP room. She had to snort at that. If the man could only muster twenty minutes, there was no way in hell she was going to break her own personal rule and go anywhere with him.
She didn’t sleep with clients, she didn’t sleep with co-workers, and she didn’t do anything that could possibly cause her to get pregnant. She had enough of a fucked-up life and refused to add to it. Plus, she also refused to hurt a child born to her, and with how she lived, it would be harmful. No, she was a waitress, and that was it, period.
She spent her nights waiting tables here, her mornings at the diner that was halfway between the Shaved Pussy and her little hole in the wall apartment. She hoped and prayed that one day she would be able to do more than that but, in the meantime, she was not going to make the same mistakes her mother made. She refused to do anything that would cause her any more issues in her life, let alone add a complete innocent to it.
 Taking a deep breath, Brynn plastered the smile on her face and dropped off more drinks before moving back to the bar so that she could put in drink orders for another table. While she was waiting for those, she looked over the crowd and took in where everyone was. Brynn was moving her head to the sound of the music, she loved the song playing, so of course, she was going to give a little move to it. She might not have a radio, but she heard lots of music through the walls of her apartment and here at the Shaved Pussy, as well.
 She narrowed her gaze on one of the heavy-handed men and wasn’t surprised when he reached out and grabbed the dancer, tugging her ankle to pull her to her ass on the dance floor and toward him. Well, sucked to be him because she was one of the talent and no one let those ladies be man-handled like that! She snickered when she saw the large bulks of the bouncers melt from the shadows and quickly take him in hand and hustled him out of the club.
 Well, crap, that meant that she lost a table when his friends followed him out. She sighed and waved to the bartender. “Jack, hey, cancel that last order please?”
 “No can do, Brynn. Already made.” He replied with a cocky smirk on his face that said he enjoyed making her pay for the drinks. “That means you get to pay, sugar. I suggest you take a drink and let yourself go a little. You know, they do let us drink on the job.”
 “Yeah but I have to make it to the diner, and they don’t like drinking,” Brynn replied and pulled the fifty bucks out of her tips, which left her with thirty dollars in tips for the night. Great. So that meant she would need to go to the food pantry again. She had to make sure that her rent was paid, so groceries were off the table for her this week. She tossed the money his way and then turned so that she could check on her other tables, in hopes that she would be able to pump some more money out of the few tables she had left.

A Flicker of Hope Druid’s Curse 2 
By Shea Balik 
Cover by: Harris Channing 


Kegan Tulach already knew that monsters were real. He’d faced them. Watched in horror as they killed those he loved. Then run from them. It was his response for the past two years. But now, on his twenty-first birthday, running wasn’t an option. He had nowhere to go. It was time for him to face his worst nightmare.

There weren’t many people who could do what Bjorn did. Fight monsters and live to tell the tale. It was a job thrust upon him as a kid. If he had known the true hell that would be cursed upon him, he would have preferred to die even though he’d only been fourteen at the time. Now, years later, he had hope that the curse would come to an end. The question was, would he choose the death he’d so desperately craved for more than a millennia, or would he do the one thing he swore he’d never do? Choose love.

If Kegan and Bjorn can find a way past their fears, they may discover something worth living for - each other.

WARNING: This book contains some graphic violence against Unseelie monsters and hot man on man love!

EXCERPT Winter Solstice
Red strips appeared along McAlister’s body as if he were being fed through a freakish bread slicer. The agony and pain that should have been in his light blue eyes, wasn’t there, only surprise and regret. When his gaze landed on Kegan for the briefest instant, fear replaced it all as his mouth opened as if to yell something to his brother…

Jolting awake, Kegan Tulach’s heart raced as sweat covered his body, drenching the bedding. It was as if he were back at his home more than two years ago, watching as his family died.

The fear had lived within Kegan ever since, but now, another emotion had edged its way in to share space side by side with that terror – despair. Today, more than ever, that horrible sense of his impending death descended over Kegan as his eyes landed on the too bright numbers of the bedside clock.

6:15 A.M. Dec 21, 2018.

What he hadn’t expected was to have a new emotion settle over him – calm. Maybe it was because finally, the day he’d dreaded more than any other had arrived. The beginning of the end for him.

Today he turned twenty-one. If only fate wasn’t against him surviving the day.

It should be a day of celebration, but Kegan knew better. There would be no party. No family gathering. No going out with his friends for a night of doing what could only be described as acting like idiots while they drank themselves stupid.

Despite the time, it would be several hours before any semblance of light illuminated the sky on the darkest day of the year. That was doubly true since he was in Alaska, in an effort to be as far from anywhere too populated for the hell that would come for him.

It meant traversing the unknown terrain, with its freezing cold temperatures and minimal light, but it was worth it if he could save those who were innocent from dying if his worst fears came to pass. Not even the appeal of exploring a new area of the world that he’d yet to see gave him any peace for what lie ahead of him that evening.

As much as he was dreading the day, Kegan rolled out of bed anyway. There was no point in lying there, wishing for things to be different. He was born into this life, whether he’d wanted to be or not. His fate had never really been his to decide. Hiding under the covers wasn’t going to change his destiny.

Sitting up, he placed his feet on the fur rug that lay along the floor next to his bed. He imagined the husband and wife that ran the bed and breakfast he’d been staying at for the past three nights had placed it there to keep their guests’ feet from freezing any more than necessary.

Not that it mattered today. He was too damn numb as to what this day would likely bring for him to feel… well, anything but bone deep fear. He just wished he knew where the sensation of acceptance that was floating around inside of him was coming from.

He’d been fleeing for two fucking years to avoid not only what had happened, but what he knew would take place if he didn’t keep running. If only he believed that would work. Maybe that’s where the detached apathy of his fate was coming from.

There was no deviating from his life’s path. Even being in the far reaches of Alaska, in the middle of December, wasn’t going to be enough to save him from facing what he’d been avoiding for more than two years. Like it or not, it was time to man up and deal with the curve ball life had thrown him.

A harsh laugh burst from deep in his throat at the absurdity of that thought. Sure, his life had been changed, but at least he was still alive. The same couldn’t be said for the rest of his family.

A tear leaked from the corner of his eye as images from that horrific day cascaded through his mind like a gruesome slideshow. Except, instead of being able to, at the very least, close his eyes, it was as if he was strapped to a chair with his eyelids taped open, forcing him to watch, no matter how much he struggled to turn away.

Thick blood, too prevalent to ignore, obscured his field of vision. Even now, after more than two years, the metallic scent would hit him like a sledge hammer, causing him to gag no matter where he was, or what he was doing. But it was the screams that haunted him the most.

Everything from a child laughing, to a cat’s yowl, or even the rusty hinges of a gate moving would send him back into that terrible moment when his world had turned upside down. He wasn’t sure which was worse, reliving those moments, or the crushing guilt that never left him after he’d abandoned those he loved to save himself.

He’d wasn’t sure how to forgive himself for being a coward. Hell, he wasn’t sure he wanted to forgive himself. It didn’t help that he was still running.

At the same time, Kegan wasn’t sure how to stand and fight. Not after what he’d witnessed.

Thick rivulets of dark red blood had run down his brother’s body in ribbons as he was shredded. An ear-piercing scream was all Kegan could hear, not even the roar of the crackling bonfire could come close to competing with the sound.

It wasn’t until his brother, McAlister, had dropped face down onto the ground, his insides too clearly visible for him to still be alive, that Kegan even realized it hadn’t been his brother who’d been the one making the sound. It had been him.

When black, soulless eyes had turned his way, those animals…Kegan shook his head. No. Those hadn’t been animals. They’d been nothing he’d ever imagined, even when watching horror movies. He still had no clue what they’d been. The stories his family had told him through the years didn’t explain their gruesome sight, or just how they had come to be there.

If only his almost nineteen-year-old self had believed that part of the story, maybe he could have done something, been prepared. Kegan ran a hand over his face as he tried to wipe the images of that day away.

He’d been a stupid kid. Then again, the sheer shock on his parents’ faces when those things appeared told him, he hadn’t been the only one. He just wasn’t sure if it was because they’d just shown up out of thin air, or their monstrous forms that had been the bigger surprise. Not that it mattered, for either way, none of them had been ready for them to be there for that auspicious occasion.

McAlister’s twenty-first birthday.

Driven by Dragonblood

Blood Born Series 3
By Lynn Burke
Publisher: Evernight Publishing
Release Date: May 28, 2019


*WARNING: This title contains explicit sexual scenes, BDSM, and anal sex.








More dragonblood than human, Primrose Cadet yearns to find her fated mates and ease the loneliness of her secluded life. But with her beta behind psychiatric bars and the other denying his beastly nature—and hers—she’ll have to fight for them, even if it means exposing her heritage.

A manipulative voice in his head promising he can fly landed Jaxon Denham in the psych ward. Eighteen and legally allowed to finally leave his parent’s enforced prison, he searches out the golden goddess of his dreams, the one the voice within claims will give them the release they crave.

Doctor Patrick Macaire fought his inner darkness for thirty-four years, living a life of self-control and discipline to prove his sanity. When a barely legal boy and seductive siren threaten the foundation of his calm existence, he’s driven to battle the voice inside and remain untouched.

But fate is clever, and Patrick’s relentless mates won’t allow him peace, catching him up in unhuman-like passion that threatens his self-identity. Will he accept he’s an alpha dragonblood born to dominate his mates, or will his human side keep the three from fulfilling their destiny.

EXCERPTThe second night I’d stood cloaked outside Lockwood’s eastern wing, the need to be impulsive, something I’d never dealt with before, fought my better judgment. Regardless of my beta’s mental state, I had wanted to sneak into his room and allow him to have his way with me, claim me like my inner dragon longed for.
Luckily, my ancestors had kept informative records in the cavern’s library of my sheltered upbringing, so I understood all the possible sexual positions—and means of giving pain for pleasure—as most alpha blood born were known for. Unfortunately, I had no personal knowledge of such things, and my dragon was determined to undermine my will to wait for his freedom.

My fingers ached from grasping the chain-link fence to keep my human form in place. The energy linking me to the window strengthened and pulled taut as a shadow moved into view. Even with my dragon sight, I couldn’t make out the color of his hair or eyes, but as he turned his head side to side as though seeking out where the energy attaching us came from, I took note of a strong nose and full lips, a square jaw I wanted to lick and nip with my teeth as he thrust into me.

Arousal, hot and wet, rose between my thighs, same as the previous night, and I bit my lips, my dragon’s needy growl rumbling in my chest as my beta locked his gaze on where I stood, cloaked by a dragonblood gift and darkness.

Want.

My human form wanted, too, and I swallowed as my dragon attempted to take over in a burst of golden light I quickly squashed. “Soon,” I promised with a whisper.

Through the tall, barred windows, I realized my beta’s hand moved over his body, the heat in the energy linking us rising. Did he touch himself? He propped his forehead on the window, shoulder hunched as though in pain, and again, I fought the need to shift, tear through the fence and walls to free my beta mate.

His form stiffened, and head tipped back, and the most luscious race of tingles swept through me, settling in my core.

Need.

Lower lip between my teeth, I released one hand from its hold and slid my fingertips down over the front of my leggings where I throbbed. I gasped as the feather touch grazed the hardened nub at the top of my slit, and I rubbed back up over it, my hips bucking on their own as though he thrust into me, burying against my womb.

Heat exploded like a blinding light through the energy between us, capturing my human form and my inner dragon in a euphoric race to the stars. I cried out, unable to keep my lips sealed as wave after wave rippled through my body, pulsing my pussy where his hard length ought to be.

I gasped for breath, my stare on the window as he slowly moved away from sight seconds later. Wetness coated my leggings, the sweet scent of my cum rising to fill my nose.

Please.

My dragon whimpered with the need for more, for our beta’s physical touch, but I tore myself away from the fence and focused on the motel’s room where I would plan my silent, cloaked assault on the mental hospital where one of my mates remained locked inside.

I would free him come morning—or die trying to.

Austin’s WardDevil’s Outlaws 3By Lynn BurkePublisher: Cha...

Austin’s WardDevil’s Outlaws 3By Lynn BurkePublisher: Changeling PressWorld-Wide Release Date: May 24, 2019


He won’t stop until her safety is secured—even if it means his heart is lost in setting her free.

As the Devil's Outlaws Sergeant at Arms, Austin Butterbaugh has no intention of getting involved. A self-proclaimed bachelor for life, he endured a broken heart and refuses to suffer the same again. But the second Cadence Fraser crosses his path, with her long blonde hair and curves, she owns him. 

Sleeping with a senator didn’t offer Cadence the ticket to a better life she’d hoped for. Instead, she's on the run for her life, straight into a badass biker’s arms—as his ward, under the Outlaw’s protection. Although fire flares to life between them, and Austin satisfies her in ways she’d never known, fear has Cadence’s sights set on something more.

With the senator hell-bent on eliminating every trace of his indiscretions, bodies will fall in Austin's determination to protect Cadence. Failure won’t be tolerated, even if saving her could mean losing her forever. Her happiness is all that matters, but can Cadence fight past her fears to see a future with Austin before it's too late?

EXCERPT:

“Take the bed,” he said and closed himself in the bathroom—with the bottle of whiskey.

Eyeing his bed, I chewed on the inside of my lip. I glanced at the couch he’d vacated. It wasn’t nearly long or wide enough for his height and bulk.

“Shit.” I heaved a sigh and crawled under his comforter, burying my face in one of the two pillows. Perfume a la Austin flared heat up through my body, and I closed my eyes as the devil on my shoulder insisted scratching an itch never hurt anyone.

“The fuck it didn’t,” I muttered, punching the feather pillow and curling up on the bed’s edge, facing away from the bathroom door.

The shower turned on, and I imagined Austin using that bar of soap I’d had all over my body running down the bumps and valleys of muscle lining his. Did he grow hard while washing his cock? His balls?

I bit the inside of my lip, determined to keep my hands beneath his pillow.

Did he stroke his length, head tipped back, while thinking about me in his bed? I knew he wanted me—the sexual tension between us could have electrified the entire compound for a goddamn week.

A low groan snapped my eyelids open, and I held my breath, ears straining.

“Fuck.” The low, drawn-out curse coming from the bathroom pebbled my skin.

Did I imagine the fisting slaps of a hand wrapped around a cock? Did my ears deceive, allowing me to think one final muffled grunt shot cum from the swollen head of his dick?

“Damnit.” I growled, my entire body like a live wire, ready to burn down my fucking life.

The water shut off, and again, I held my breath, ears ringing for sounds of his movement. Water ran again, and I realized I hadn’t brushed my teeth—not that I had a spare toothbrush in my bag anyway.

A quick exhale into my cupped hand revealed I wouldn’t knock out a dragon, but still.

What did I care? I grumbled a bit more in my head, but the opening of the bathroom door stalled all thought.

Austin moved into the room, and I listened as he opened a cabinet and shut it. Unable to help myself, I shifted onto my back.

A towel slung low around his hips.

Goddamn, the muscles…

My mouth flooded with drool, and I bit back a moan as he turned. Rippled abs snagged my focus. The sexy as fuck V of muscle disappearing beneath the towel turned my mouth’s drool factory on maximum.

“Just going to grab my pillow,” he muttered, moving toward the bed, his low voice pebbling my skin again.

“There’s plenty of room in the bed,” I heard myself say, hating the breathless tone that escaped—and how the final word cut short on a squeak as I lifted my gaze to his face.

Quiet rang in my ears for a few heartbeats as we stared at one another, heat licking over my skin, flushing me from head to toe. The promise in his eyes of more than a mere fuck, in and out, thank you darlin’, sent a shudder through me.

Austin wouldn’t be kind or gentle in the sack. He seemed the type that would tie a girl up, use her to satisfy his every whim, and leave her a spent and smiling from exhaustion. My mouth dried, nipples pebbled to painful points.

“Couch is kind of small,” he said, tearing his gaze away first, his brow furrowing.

I tried to swallow the dryness from my throat as the tension simmering between us intensified, crackling with energy enough the hairs on my arms rose.

“You’re very alert and cautious,” I said, desperate to get my mind off fucking and how good every inch of him would feel pressing me down into his mattress.

He grunted in agreement, hands fisting at his sides, but didn’t move otherwise.

I remembered how his gaze had scanned the strip joint’s parking lot before we’d left, the glimpses he’d tossed from mirror to mirror as the miles had faded behind us, until I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer and had ended up with my head against his truck’s passenger window.

“What made you that way?” I asked, needing to fill the silence, needing to end the sexually charged atmosphere choking me.

“Long fucking story that’s none of your business.”

Grumpy much? At least his abrupt words eased the unbearable ache between my thighs. “Is your name really Austin?”

“Yes.”

“What’s your last name?”

He hesitated a moment before answering. “Butterbaugh.”

The name didn’t match his badass biker sexiness one bit, and I found myself wanting to giggle. “Are you really from Texas?” I asked what Hannah had already told me.

“Yes.”

I nibbled on the inside of my lip again, unable to help from ogling his massive chest as he studied the apartment around us as though desperate to keep from looking at me in his bed. “What brought you to D.C.?”

“Another long fucking story.”

I frowned at his disinterest in elaborating. “Are you always this closed off?”

“Are you always this nosey?”

I huffed and considered turning away, but he dropped the goddamn towel and slid under the comforter before I could move.

Blinking didn’t erase the image of his semi-hard cock hanging low between his thighs I’d caught a quick glimpse of. So much for the desert mouth. Drool flooded, and I swallowed. “You could at least put on some boxers,” I managed to croak as if I had zero desire to have his naked ass in bed with me.

“I don’t wear underwear.”

Lovely. The thought boiled my blood—and also pissed me the hell off. I didn’t want to be turned on by the mountain of a man whose care I’d been placed under. I didn’t want to be all wet, warm, and willing for his huge cock to plunder all three holes of my body.

Scratching the itch won’t hurt. I scowled at the ceiling at the devil’s voice in my ear.

“Close your eyes and sleep, Cadence. You’re safe.”

Safe. I held in my snort. Perhaps safe from the senator for the time being, but certainly not from my libido.
