<p><strong>A Breath of Sunlight</strong><br /><strong>Sydney Winward</strong><br />Publication date: August 17th 2021<br />Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Romance</p><blockquote><div>
<div>
<p>Don’t show compassion for men. Never save a man’s life. And no matter what, never fall in love with someone you must ultimately kill. But some rules are meant to be broken, even if it means risking your life by betraying your valkyrie sisters.</p>
<p>The plan was simple—attack the Pits, kill the male slaves, save the women. But when Skaja runs into a fae man she can’t kill, she instead breaks all the rules to save him.</p>
<p>Prince Calle was sold into slavery by his jealous brother, and he would do anything to taste freedom again, even put his trust in a dangerous valkyrie. To protect his people and gain the throne, he and Skaja must trust each other. But neither of them expected trust to turn into something more, and the cost of love has a much steeper price than either of them anticipated.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EXCERPT:</strong></p>
<p>Calle gasped and shot up into a sitting position. He clawed at his throat to remove the boot, but instead of finding a rough leather boot, he touched soft, warm skin.</p>
<p>“Shh,” Skaja soothed as she touched his hands, his face, his hair. “It was only a bad dream.”</p>
<p>Her face finally came into focus in the darkness. Pinched, concerned brows. Pursed lips. Hair falling across her forehead.</p>
<p>He shook his head, suddenly aware of the perspiration that clung to his skin. His back ached where he’d been whipped. His throat still burned for air. The slave brand on his forearm rippled with heat. “N-n-no. It w-w-wasn’t a d-d-dream.”</p>
<p>“It was,” she said in a soothing tone, and for the first time since they’d met, her eyes were kind and gentle. Her fingers stroked either side of his hair. She was touching him… And not just an uncertain, awkward touch. A compassionate caring lingered in her caress, and he couldn’t help but lean into her hand.</p>
<p>She stilled.</p>
<p>“Please don’t stop,” he whispered.</p>
<p>A pause. But then her fingers continued their exploration. Her light touch skimmed his hair, his eyebrows, his nose, his cheekbones. They hesitantly touched his earlobe before she more daringly traced the shape of his long, pointed ear.</p>
<p>His heart slowed into something calmer. Something safer. The fear in his soul settled to the bottom of a clear, placid lake. The pain in his back and throat ebbed. The burn on his forearm died slowly like a waning fever.</p>
<p>He breathed in Skaja’s scent of jasmine and cool midnight skies and breathed out a river of calm. She was right. It was only a dream.</p>
<p>Yet, it had felt so real.</p>
<p>A flash of darkness passed across his mind, and as if he once again found himself in the deep ravine of the Pits, his hands began trembling. Skaja’s gentle touch trailed from his ear, to his shoulder, down his arm, before she clasped his hand. Her touch felt so good. Like a breath of sunlight after being caged in the darkness for so long.<br />

<p>It has been three years since Elvira “Ellie” Ryder was betrayed by her best friend Cor and watched as her hometown of Kaus was leveled by invaders from a different Zone. Now sworn to seek revenge on him, Ellie has teamed up with her old friend Zach to find their long lost friend.</p>

Without hesitation Ellie and Zach take the job and make their way to the Human Zone to assassinate their target. As they make their way through the desert, and through the Human Zone, they are up against the prejudice of their kind—Kausian, a race that can shapeshift but always stand out with their golden eyes. Nevertheless, they never miss a mark—that is, unless they find out the truth about who destroyed their kind and how their target is right in the middle of it all.</p>
<p>Will Ellie be able to forgive Cor after learning the truth? Or will she forever hold on to that hatred?</p>

a simple soul who has meekly braved each step of her life’s joys and hardships.
She discovered the expressive arts as therapy in her darkest moment, studied
her guts and soul out to find her way to a liberating, feral freedom to
participate in life again. This is her first book. She lives with her husband and three boys in

<p>Author Bio:</p>
<p>Full disclosure: I am an acquired taste. I'm a typical blonde Orange County suburbanite who says 'like' more than necessary, laughs loud and probably obnoxiously, and loves to dance in the rain. I'm a 28 year old college graduate with more than a few tricks up my sleeve, and I also happen to be a pretty big Ducks fan. Oh, and I'm a writer. Like, for real.</p>
<p>I don't speak in third person (normally) nor do I wear glasses (except when I'm feeling particularly mischievous). I'm lucky to have found my soul mate at the ripe old age of 22, even though he frustrates me on purpose to get a reaction out of me. We live near Disneyland, have two rambunctious female puppies, and have two beautiful girls. He has two amazing boys, and has gotten me hooked on Smallville, watching soccer (okay, okay FOOTBALL - FC Barcelona, baby!), and Cancun Juice.</p>

<div>
<p><b>When a corpse crashes the party, Bianca is on the case.</b></p>
<p>Bianca Wallace is a work from home mom raising her teenage daughter as a single parent. She’s determined to stand on her own two feet in Edenville, Texas after her bitter divorce. When the town’s wedding of the year stars her friend as the bride, Bianca can’t wait to celebrate the nuptials. Neither she nor the guests expect a corpse! When the police suspect the bride, Bianca’s determined to prove her friend’s innocence.</p>
<p>Lamar Sims, the new police detective in Edenville, is investigating the murder case. Bianca’s “interference” is not helping, but she won’t stop when her friend’s freedom is on the line. He makes it clear he wants her to let the police do their job, so she has to find ways around him.</p>
<p>No one in Edenville is safe until the killer is behind bars. Bianca won’t let Detective Sims dismiss her hunches. They may have to work together before another dead body shows up.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EXCERPT:</strong></p>
<p>“Bianca!” Nicole shrieked.</p>
<p>Bianca embraced her friend. “You look amazing!”</p>
<p>Nicole planted her hands on her slim hips. Her sundress flowed to her knees and flattered her waist. Long blonde hair, five seven, and flawless ivory skin. Her blue eyes shined. The woman could have been a model if she wanted to, but found her passion as a beauty blogger. “Thank you. Come on in.”</p>
<p>Looping her arm with hers, Bianca walked with Nicole to the kitchen after setting her gift on the designated table. When they entered the kitchen, Bianca spotted Judy.</p>
<p>“Bianca! Welcome.” Her red hair shined as always.</p>
<p>“Let me help you, Judy. I can’t just stand around and let you do all of this for me.” Nicole stood in front of a plate of ham and grabbed the butcher knife from Priscilla’s, Chad’s mother, kitchen set.</p>
<p>“Nicole.” Judy sighed. “You’re the bride. You should be mingling with your guests.”</p>
<p>“There will be plenty of time for that.” Nicole nudged her shoulder and sliced the meat onto a serving tray.</p>
<p>Bianca made herself comfortable on a bar stool. “Having fun so far? You seem more relaxed now.” That was a good sign.</p>
<p>Nicole beamed. “I am. I can’t believe the wedding is next weekend.” She exhaled. “I’m so nervous.”</p>
<p>“Not about marrying Chad, I hope,” Judy said as she tossed the salad.</p>
<p>“Can I help?” Bianca stood.</p>
<p>Judy pointed for her to sit down. “No, I won’t have the both of you helping. Nicole’s the bride so she can get away with it.”</p>
<p>Bianca returned to her seat and folded her hands in her lap. She figured Judy was in her zone so she wouldn’t offer again to help her in the kitchen. “Everything looks amazing.”</p>
<p>Judy touched a hand to Nicole’s shoulder. “I can’t tell you what it means to me that you asked us to cater your wedding. Thank you.”</p>
<p>Nicole smiled. “Are you kidding? I wouldn’t have anyone else cooking for me.”</p>
<p>Bianca’s heart warmed at the friendly exchange. With Nicole marrying into the high society Davis family, she could have chosen top-notch caterers to serve her reception meal. Yet, she’d chosen Edenville’s best. There was no one better than Judy, who could cook and bake along with her husband, Richard.</p>
<p>“I do have a question for you my friend.” Nicole directed her attention to Bianca.</p>
<p>“What?” Bianca asked.</p>
<p>“I think you could get along with at least one of Chad’s—”</p>
<p>Bianca held up a hand to stop her. “Before you start setting me up with all of the groomsmen, I’ll pass.”</p>
<p>“Oh, Bianca. Really?” Nicole huffed.</p>
<p>“I’ll let you know if I change my mind.” Bianca winked at her.</p>
<p>Nicole paused in her slicing of the ham when her phone rang in her dress pocket. She stared at the screen but didn’t answer.<br />

<p><strong>Sacrificed</strong><br /><strong>Jacklyn Daher</strong><br />(The Chronicles of Luxor Everstone, #3)<br />Publication date: September 9th 2021<br />Genres: New Adult, Urban Fantasy, Young Adult</p><blockquote><div>
<div>
<p>Death. Destruction. Devastation.</p>
<p>Since Luxor Everstone Unveiled she has suffered all of these, and a great deal more. Except now it’s taken a new causality. Her voice.</p>
<p>Heartbroken and lost, her mind has been shattered, but not her fiery spirit. The only way to exact revenge and to right all wrong doings is to train to lose greater control.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, chaos reigns from all directions…Nephilims are being brutally slain, and an infection spreads, turning humans feral. Closer to home love and family collide, throwing Luxor’s life into disarray, and Cane has greater access and taunts her at every opportunity to evoke her darkness.</p>
<p>To succeed in finding answers and maintaining her sanity, important choices must be made, and the collateral damage will be monumental.</p>
<p>Was it better to remain silent and in control, or let her inner demon out?</p>

Their complex harmonies, sense of comedic timing and stage presence were unique to the folk movement. They didn’t enjoy the commercial success of other groups because their material made political and social statements that radio and television refused to play. They were wildly popular, though, on college campuses throughout the country during this turbulent time and fostered political and social awareness among thousands of young men and women as they faced the challenging era ahead.</font></font></p> <p align="CENTER" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">But as Mike, Chad and Joe Frazier raced along a frantic treadmill of rehearsals, recording sessions, nightclubs and concerts, Mike and Chad began to realize the demand for musical perfection was the only thing they had in common. Their personalities were and remain polar opposites. When Chad left in 1965, neither mourned the parting. John Denver replaced Chad. Two years later, Joe’s demons caught up to him forcing Mike and John to fire Joe.</font></font></p> <p align="CENTER" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">When folk reunions became popular, fans and folk historians agreed that The Trio was the one group that would never take the stage again. Their schism was just too great.</font></font></p> <p align="CENTER" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Mike and Chad and Joe hadn’t spoken in twenty years. Then came a call. I will if he will. Their mentor and music director Milt Okun worried they were making a mistake.

<p><b>“Like Shadowhunters…A binge-read book series!”</b><i> – DesiRae, Goodreads</i></p>
<p>Eighteen-year-old Myla Lewis is a girl who loves two things: kicking ass and kicking ass. She’s not your every day quasi-demon, part-demon and part-human, girl.</p>
<p>For the past five years, Myla has lived for the days she gets to fight in Purgatory’s arena. When souls want a trial by combat for their right to enter Heaven or Hell, they go up against her, and she hasn’t lost a battle yet. But as she starts her senior year at Purgatory High, the arena fights aren’t enough to keep her spirits up anymore. When the demons start to act weird, even for demons, and the King of the Demons, Armageddon, shows up at Myla’s school, she knows that things are changing and it’s not looking good for the quasi-demons.</p>
<p>Myla starts to question everything, and doesn’t like the answers she finds.</p>
<p>What happened seventeen years ago that turned the quasi-demons into slave labor? Why was her mom always so sad? And why won’t anyone tell her who her father is? Things heat up when Myla meets Lincoln, the High Prince of the Thrax, a super sexy part-human and part-angel demon hunter. But what’s a quasi-demon girl to do when she falls for a demon hunter? It’s a good thing that Myla’s not afraid of breaking a few rules. With a love worth fighting for, Myla’s going to shake up Purgatory.</p>
<p><b>“This book is so wonderful. It’s filled with action, mystery, and a forbidden romance. Who doesn’t love that?”</b><i> – Angelic Book Reviews</i></p>

<p>Twelve years later, Sergeant Sam Wolfe’s police K-9, Blue, was shot on-duty and suffers from PTSD. Unbeknownst to Sam, his Lieutenant arranged for Isla, the best trauma Vet in Florida, to take over Blue’s care while Sam is on vacation with his son in Bliss Cay.</p>
<p>When they see each other again, neither are prepared for what the summer holds. As Isla helps Blue through his physical and emotional traumas, her and Sam’s worlds collide as skeletons are unearthed changing their lives forever.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EXCERPT:</strong></p>
<p>“This is Dr. Jensen.” I answer the call that my office manager and best friend put on hold for me.</p>
<p>“Dr. Jensen, this is Lieutenant Vasquez with Colton P.D. I oversee our K-9 Unit. A month ago one of our dogs was shot on-duty and he’s still recovering from the shoulder injury, both mentally and physically.”</p>
<p>“Ah, yes, that was Blue, wasn’t it?”</p>
<p>“Yes, it was.”</p>
<p>“What can I help you with, Lieutenant?”</p>
<p>“Well, Blue and his handler, Sergeant Sam Wolfe, will be staying in Bliss Cay this summer for a much needed vacation. Since Blue is still under the care of our local Vet for his injury and PTSD, he’ll need to continue his course of treatment while there. Dr. Jensen, you came highly recommended, and I’m hoping you’ll take point with his care while in Bliss.”</p>
<p>It’s not often I’m speechless, but this is one of those times. Sam Wolfe is coming to Bliss and his boss wants me to take over his dog’s care…for two long months? I’m supposed to be in the same tiny room with my past all summer?</p>
<p>“Dr. Jensen, you still there? Hello?”</p>
<p>“I—I’m here. Sorry, one of my patients got loose.”</p>
<p>“Would you rather call me back?”</p>
<p>“No, no, it’s fine. I got her.” I say, closing my eyes and shaking my head after lying to the police. It was only a little white lie, right? <em>Get it together, Isla.</em></p>
<p>“So, what do you say? Will you help a police dog in need?”</p>
<p>How can I say no when he puts it like that? Plus…it’s Sam’s dog. “I’ll do it.” I blurt out before changing my mind.</p>
<p>“Wonderful! We really appreciate your assistance. I have to tell you, Blue’s had a pretty rough time the last month, not to mention Sergeant Wolfe. Since the shooting, the two have been inseparable.”</p>
<p>“Really, it’s no problem at all. It’s my job and I’m happy to help in any way I can. So, uh, when will Sergeant Wolfe and Blue be arriving in Bliss?”</p>
<p>“They’ll be there Sunday—and if it’s okay, Sam will stop by your office on Monday to meet you and go over a treatment schedule that works for everyone.”</p>
<p>“So—Sergeant Wolfe doesn’t know I’ll be caring for Blue while they’re here?” <em>I don’t know why I even asked that, it’s unlikely he knows my married name.</em></p>
<p>“Well, he knows of you, but I wanted to get your approval before I told him you agreed to take Blue on as a patient. I know he’ll be relieved since I mentioned your credentials. He loves that dog as much as he loves his son.”</p>
<p><em>Son? Sam has a kid?</em> My pulse accelerates at the realization. Clearing my throat, I ask, “I assume his family will be joining him for the summer?” Thump-thump, thump-thump, my heart pounds in my chest. <em>He’s your past Isla.</em><br />

Burns Jr. writes the Natalie McMasters Mysteries from the small town of Wendell, North Carolina, where he lives with his wife and son, four cats and a Cardigan Welsh Corgi. He was born and grew up in New Jersey, attended Xavier High School in Manhattan, earned B.S degrees in Zoology and Microbiology at Michigan State University and a M.S. in Microbiology at North Carolina State University. As a kid, Tom started reading mysteries with the Hardy Boys, Ken Holt and Rick Brant, then graduated to the classic stories by authors such as A. Conan Doyle, Dorothy Sayers, John Dickson Carr, Erle Stanley Gardner and Rex Stout, to name a few. Tom has written fiction as a hobby all of his life, starting with Man from U.N.C.L.E. stories in marble-backed copybooks in grade school. He built a career as technical, science and medical writer and editor for nearly thirty years in industry and government. Now that he’s a full time novelist, he’s excited to publish his own mystery series, as well as to write stories about his second most favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes. His Holmes story, The Camberwell Poisoner, recently appeared in the March – June issue of The Strand Magazine. Tom has also written a Lovecraftian horror novel, The Legacy of the Unborn, under the pen name of Silas K. Henderson‒a sequel to H.P. Lovecraft’s masterpiece At the Mountains of Madness.</font></font><p></p> <p style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /> </p> <p align="CENTER" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Garamond, serif" size="5"><font><b>Contact Links</b></font></font></p> <p align="CENTER" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://www.3mdetectiveagency.com/"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Website</font></font></a></p> <p align="CENTER" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/541595279667727"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Facebook</font></font></a></p> <p align="CENTER" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Twitter: @3Mdetective</font></font></p> <p align="CENTER" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://www.3mdetectiveagency.com/blog/"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Blog</font></font></a></p> <p align="CENTER" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Instagram: 3mdetective</font></font></p> <p align="CENTER" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/17956517.Thomas_A_Burns_Jr_"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Goodreads</font></font></a></p> <p align="CENTER" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://www.bookbub.com/profile/thomas-a-burns-jr"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Bookbub</font></font></a></p> <p align="CENTER" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://www.tumblr.com/blog/nataliemcmasters"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Tumblr</font></font></a></p> <p align="CENTER" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> </p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><p align="CENTER" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Garamond, serif" size="5"><font><b>Purchase Link</b></font></font></p> <p align="CENTER" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Killers-Natalie-McMasters-Mystery-Mysteries-ebook/dp/B098R5H457"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Amazon</font></font></a></p><p align="CENTER" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p> <a class="rcptr" data-raflid="408264011400" data-template="" data-theme="classic" href="http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/408264011400/" id="rcwidget_r89ksn3r" rel="nofollow">a Rafflecopter giveaway</a>

<p><strong>Mister Know It All</strong><br /><strong>Amélie S. Duncan</strong><br />(Cocky Hero Club)<br />Publication date: August 8th 2021<br />Genres: Adult, Comedy, Romance</p><blockquote><div>
<div>
<p>A romantic comedy set in the world of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward’s Stuck Up Suit</p>
<p>What’s a girl to do when she discovers that her boss/boyfriend (I don’t need a lecture, thank you very much!) is a cheating windbag?</p>
<p>Dump him and quit her job, of course.</p>
<p>After that, it was supposed to be the Summer of Me—a totally self-indulgent few months.</p>
<p>Except that I met a drop-dead gorgeous Viking with a bossy attitude.</p>
<p>We clashed on his arrogance and crassness, but geek bonded over Star Wars and Star Trek.</p>
<p>He offered himself as a no-strings-attached candidate for my get-my-groove-back sex plan, and I left because he already had a girlfriend, even if they were on a break.</p>
<p>But I couldn’t stop thinking about him.</p>
<p>I really, really needed to find someone less complicated, but he infiltrated my thoughts.</p>
<p>He was hot, after all (And his towel might have slipped on purpose.) Seriously hot.</p>
<p>No matter how many times I decided not to pursue anything with him, he kept showing a softer side of himself.</p>
<p>But we couldn’t keep going like that, neither here nor there.</p>
<p>Some decisions had to be made.</p>
<p>One that could change everything.</p>
<p>If someone had told me how my Summer of Me would end? I’d never have believed them.</p>
<p>But I regret nothing.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">—</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EXCERPT:</strong></p>
<p>“I won’t change for him or any man. No matter how fab I treat them, they still cheat. Maybe I just need to focus on my career and let relationships happen later.”</p>
<p>“What you don’t need to do is waste your prime-time mourning losers. You need to have a passionate fling to get that windbag out of your system. A rebound could make you over, babe.” Hopefully my rebound, if I found one, won’t ask if I’ve come seconds after he does. <em>Thank you, Randall. </em>Pretentious, pipe-sucking ass.</p>
<p>My phone buzzed. Randall’s smug face popped up. <em>Speak of the devil. </em>I swiped the decline button. “He’s still calling.”</p>
<p>“Forget him. What you need is a good fling to recharge your ego. Reach in my bag and check my phone. My <em>Tinder </em>app should be accessible.”</p>
<p>I pulled up her handbag from the back seat and pressed her profile.</p>
<p>My mouth dropped open. “You kept this secret.”</p>
<p>Tam Nguyen—valedictorian, summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, most likely to win a Nobel Prize for physics—had a raunchy profile with pictures of close-up body parts.</p>
<p>“What the hell, Tam? Some creep is copying this on his phone.”</p>
<p>She grinned and lifted her shoulder while keeping her hands on the wheel. “I don’t care. I’m not running for political office. Besides, women shouldn’t be afraid of expressing their sexuality.”</p>
<p>She took the ramp for the highway and increased her speed to join the traffic ahead.</p>
<p>I returned her phone to her purse and groaned. “I’m not ready to advertise or date again. Maybe time alone is good.”</p>
<p>“That’s feeling sorry for yourself bullshit. You fall off; you get back on. And before you find the guy who lives inside your heart, you recharge. I’m not talking about dating. Go to a bar or nightclub and hook up to get him out of your system. Just be safe. Find a man who turns you on. You’re not trying to date him, so you can be as shallow as fuck.”</p>
<p>“Don’t we always go for what attracts us?” I asked.</p>
<p>“Rhetorically speaking. But in reality, not all the time, and you know it. But <em>this</em> time, you do for sure. Kiss the guy in the bar to make sure you won’t end up with a sloppy tongue. Feel his junk under the table too. Or better yet, ask to feel his cock, like you can’t make it out of the bar without touching it, so you can make sure you’re on the same wavelength.”</p>
<p>I shook my head. “That’s your advice, grope a stranger?”</p>
<p>“You’ll thank me later. Trust me, it will save you the naked reveal.”</p>
<p>I howled with laughter. “You’re crazy. I’m feeling up random guys to find the cock-nirvana? I guess this is a bar I never want to return to out of sheer embarrassment.”</p>
<p>“Everyone goes to bars and nightclubs to hook up. Who are they to judge? Oh, and make sure you tell him you want to get fucked, not <em>make love</em>.” She said <em>make love</em> like it was a nasty word. “Keep the convo on sex. Don’t let him talk too much about himself. You don’t want this guy in your head.”</p>
<p>“Am I hooking up, or is this <em>Silence of the Lambs</em>?” I mused.</p>
<p>“These are trade secrets, darling.” We laughed.</p>
<p>Revenge sex aside, I still wasn’t completely sold on a mindless man-toy fling.</p>

<p><strong>Never Fall for Your Back-Up Guy</strong><br /><strong>Kate O’Keeffe</strong><br />(It’s Complicated, #1)<br />Publication date: August 3rd 2021<br />Genres: Adult, Comedy, Women’s Fiction</p><blockquote><div>
<div>
<p><b>Three things I’ve learned this week:</b><br />
<b>1) Never fall for a client<br />
2) Never fall for your best friend<br />
3) And most importantly, never fall for your back-up guy<br />
…especially if they’re all the same person.</b></p>
<p>I’m the queen of dating disasters—I’ve had more rotten dates than you can shake a long stemmed rose at. After years of one disappointment after another, I’m beginning to feel like I’ll never say “I do.”</p>
<p>So after being dumped one too many times I do something stupid:</p>
<p>I make a pact with my best friend Asher. If neither of us are married by 35, we tie the knot. That’s five full years of searching for The One.</p>
<p>I’ve got to meet Mr. Right by then, don’t I?</p>
<p>Except when I take a job redecorating Asher’s bachelor pad, I realize he’s a lot different from the guy I thought he was. Against all odds, I find myself falling for my best friend. Maybe my back-up guy could be The One after all?</p>
<p>Except there’s only one problem…</p>
<p>My back-up guy has a secret that could ruin everything.</p>
<p><i>Never Fall for Your Back-Up Guy</i> is a clean, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy with a smart and sassy British heroine and a swoon-worthy American hero.</p>
<p>It’s the first book in the <i>It’s Complicated </i>series<i> </i>and can easily be read as a standalone novel. It is a spin-off of the<i> Love Manor Romantic Comedy </i>series. Catch up with all your favorite <i>Love Manor </i>characters and meet some new ones in this fun, laugh-out-loud rom com!</p>

She decided she didn’t like him. He made her extremely uncomfortable. He simply stared at her, making her nervous for some reason, so she jumped off her seat and headed for the door. She grabbed her coat, hurrying out of the diner and into the icy wind. She struggled to put on her coat, scarf, and hat before she froze. Unused to such frigid wind, Thea came to realize how quickly hypothermia could settle in.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">“<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">You little fool,” came a harsh voice.

<p><strong>Disavow</strong><br /><strong>Bella Di Corte</strong><br />Publication date: November 5th 2021<br />Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance</p><blockquote><div>
<div>
<p><em>He was my only oath.</em></p>
<p>Aniello Assanti was a monster dressed in a gentlemen’s suit.</p>
<p>He was everything I should’ve feared and run away from. A walking nightmare. He belonged to an organization that valued money over life; power over free will; codes over love.</p>
<p>And if that wasn’t enough of a deterrent, he was strictly forbidden.</p>
<p><em>I, Rosalia Lombardozzi, solemnly vow…no fraternizing with the men who belong.</em></p>
<p>I worked for the same organization, and even with that oath forever marking my tongue, I was drawn to him like a moth to a flame. Something existed between us that not even the fire of disloyalty could turn to ash.</p>
<p>Some called it obsession. I called it love.</p>
<p>The world we lived in called it an act of betrayal. To disavow meant certain death.</p>
<p>When the heart takes an oath, though, it is more sacred than any vow spoken—it’s the one thing worth living <em>and</em> worth dying for.</p>

<p>Author Bio:</p>
<p>Bella Di Corte has been writing romance for seven years, even longer if you count the stories in her head that were never written down, but she didn’t realize how much she enjoyed writing alphas until recently. Tough guys who walk the line between irredeemable and savable, and the strong women who force them to feel, inspire her to keep putting words to the page.</p>
<p>Apart from writing, Bella loves to spend time with her husband, daughter, and family. She also loves to read, listen to music, cook meals that were passed down to her, and take photographs. She mostly takes pictures of her family (when they let her) and her three dogs. </p>
<p>Bella grew up in New Orleans, a place she considers a creative playground.</p>
<p>She loves to connect with readers, so don’t hesitate to email her at belladicorte@gmail.com if you’d like to reach out. </p>

<p style="text-align: center;">—</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EXCERPT:</strong></p>
<p>“Ah, so we’re heading for smithies,” Misthell said.</p>
<p>Startled, Eurik glanced over his shoulder at the blade. “We are. How did you know?”</p>
<p>“We’re looking for my makers, that’s the point of this whole story. Also, there were at least two carts laden with iron bars and coal we passed heading the same way we are.”</p>
<p>Looking past Misthell, Eurik spotted one of the carts in question. “Right. I should have noticed that.”</p>
<p>“You’re too focused on one thing. Or should I say, one Way. Why don’t you try Dance of the Whirlwind to find what you’re looking for?”</p>
<p>He hesitated for a moment as the people flowed around him. But these past weeks, what little time he’d had for training had been taken up by Silver Fang. And on the Road, even wind <em>chiri</em> didn’t quite work as it should.</p>
<p>Taking a deep breath, he reached out only to have Misthell whistle sharply in his ear. Eurik flinched away. “What was that for?”</p>
<p>“Because you’re starting wrong. The wind is motion, so if you’re trying to become one with the wind . . .”</p>
<p>He sighed. He should know this and he did. “So must I.” Eurik moved forward, arms hanging loose at his side, fingers lightly splayed, and felt for the flow of wind <em>chiri</em>. Though flow was the wrong word for the chaotic mess swirling around him, a chaos he added to with every step, every breath. On reflex, he closed his eyes to better concentrate on his other sense.</p>
<p>He tried feeling for the ringing of steel, of hammers striking hot iron. But the wind <em>chiri</em> shied away from his reach, his flow rebuffing those around him.</p>
<p>Eurik sidestepped a group walking toward them, their wake washing over him. A sharp flow snaked its way out of a tavern to his left, carrying a jaunty tune. Behind him an ox exerted himself, hot air blasting out with every huff.</p>
<p>Those flows he could feel, because they mixed and bounced off his own, but they also constrained his world. He pushed, wind ruffling clothes and hair, and he felt his perception expand. So did the chaos, new flows emerging within his flow while more flows beat at it from without.</p>
<p>The wingbeat of a lake gull, the wind blowing over the rooftops of Urumoy, hot air rising from a dozen chimneys, the staccato of a thousand voices whispering, speaking, hollering.</p>
<p>Eurik swayed, and a wagon wheel ground past his toes, almost crushing them. “Look where you’re going!” Opening his eyes, he staggered away as he lost his connection with the world. Out of the flow of traffic, into a narrow, shadowed alley. The air hung in there, thick and fetid. His deep breaths only set him to coughing.</p>
<p>“What did you do wrong?”</p>
<p>“I—” Another cough. Eurik shook his head. “I don’t know.” Breathing through his nose wasn’t better, only made the smell worse, but it helped against the coughing. “I tried to reach out to find the smithy, but I got swamped by the city. There was too much.”</p>
<p>“Wind is not earth,” Misthell said, his voice changing into a familiar one. One Eurik had not heard in months. “It is more like water, flowing from a place of abundance to one where there is absence. The wind dances to its own music, and you must dance with it if you wish to guide it to where you need it.”</p>
<p>Eurik blinked until his sight stopped being blurry. “You talked a lot to <em>sesin</em>.”</p>
<p>“Yeah. What, you thought I’d spent all that time in a box?”</p>
<p>Eurik shook his head. “Hard to imagine. I would have found you within a year or so if that were true. All I would have to do is follow the stream of complaints.”</p>
<p>“You mean pointed reminders. Not my fault your fleshy minds leak memories like sieves.”<br />

<div>
<p><strong>The chemistry’s right, the timing’s so wrong…</strong></p>
<p>True love is never convenient…</p>
<p><em>What do Bethany Myers and infatuation have in common?</em> They’re both bright, beautiful and refuse to conform.</p>
<p><em>What do Byron Thomas and denial have in common?</em> Just about everything. But don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>Ex-party girl Beth moved to Melbourne for a fresh start—which was immediately derailed by the city’s COVID lockdown. After an isolated winter, summer has arrived and Beth (and her body) is crying out for connection. But the rules have changed and being vulnerable feels risky…</p>
<p>A pro-footballer turned electrician, Bryon has plenty of secrets and even more regrets. He’s the glue holding his dysfunctional family together and he wants things to stay simple—something Beth makes impossible.</p>
<p>After a roadside encounter Bryon and Beth’s worlds collide. What was supposed to be a hook up becomes a full-on summer romance. As they question their future, both together and apart, they learn you don’t come of age once but again and again.</p>
<p><em>Begin Again, Again</em> is a return to the world of romance novels for critically acclaimed author Eve Dangerfield.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EXCERPT:</strong></p>
<p>Beth wouldn’t have done it if it wasn’t so perfect.</p>
<p>She was driving down a quiet rose-strewn street, Charli XCX blaring from her speakers, and there he was, striding across the footpath holding a big metal thing. Three weeks out of lockdown, Beth still wasn’t used to seeing men’s faces uncovered in public. But she’d <em>never</em> be ready for someone like him. He looked like he’d wandered away from a movie shoot, the drab suburbia a mere backdrop for his supernatural hotness. She slowed and he cocked his head at her. <em>‘Am I okay to go?’ </em></p>
<p>He had a slash through his left eyebrow. The thin, bisecting line was a flaw that somehow made him hotter, like a gap between a supermodel’s front teeth.</p>
<p>Beth waved him on. He raised two fingers in a tiny salute and walked toward the black ute on the other side of the road. Beth watched the muscles in his arms shift and lock as he carried his… work tool, or whatever it was, across the road. Charli sang about boys, needing boys, wanting boys, and Beth’s mood soared. It was a gorgeous day; lockdown was finally over and guys as hot as this still existed. Better than existed—existed <em>near</em> her.</p>
<p>She still might not have done anything, but then she saw the butterfly. It was royal blue, huge and beautiful. It flitted past his handsome face, and it was like a cosmic promise that after all these months of loneliness, she could, <em>would,</em> fuck again.</p>
<p>“Oh my god,” she said to no one. Without another conscious thought, she wound down the car window and stuck her head into the summer morning. “Hey! You’re fucking gorgeous!”</p>
<p>The guy turned—of course he turned, she’d yelled at him—and gave her a bemused look. Beth’s insides churned. His eyes were brighter than his hair suggested they’d be, hazel or even green. The butterfly shimmered across his throat, as reluctant to leave him alone as she was.</p>
<p>He looked at her as he hauled the big metal thing into the tray of the ute. He didn’t seem annoyed; he didn’t seem like anything. Beth knew she should move, but she couldn’t. She was stuck between shame and the strangest feeling she knew him. Or that maybe she’d been waiting for him. That she’d known to drive to this spot at this time and see this guy.</p>
<p>He moved toward her car and common sense kicked in. She’d catcalled a guy in the street. He might have thought she was joking. Fucking with him. Beth imagined his fist pounding the car windshield and saw him yelling that he wasn’t a woman and didn’t deserve that shit. She fumbled for the accelerator, but he was already in front of her, hand outstretched.</p>
<p>“Hey.”</p>
<p>His voice was deep but clean. Up close there was a boyish roundness to his eyes that unnerved her. He was young, younger than her. Mid-twenties maybe. Beth’s stomach roiled. “Hey, um, how’s it going?”</p>
<p>“Not bad.” He bent down, looking through her open window. His eyes <em>were</em> green, dark jade like pounamu. Her stomach swooped. Did she know him? Had they made plans to be here?</p>
<p>He glanced at her body, both brows lifting slightly. Lust hit Beth like a truck. She wanted him, wanted him with a clarity she hadn’t experienced since Ben Havish’s sweet sixteenth pool party.</p>
<p>“How are you?” he asked.</p>
<p>Beth looked into his face and saw enough interest to press wildly, recklessly ahead. “Good. Do you want to hang out?”</p>
<p>The guy leaned back, straightening up. “Right now?”</p>
<p>Beth’s brain jammed. Was he inviting her onto his worksite? To his car? She wasn’t opposed, but… “I’m on my lunch break. How about tonight?”</p>
<p>His gaze travelled down her body, and Beth wished she’d worn something hotter than a pink t-shirt and jeans. Like a dress and heels. Or a fur coat and lingerie.</p>
<p>“Tonight works.”</p>
<p>Beth resisted the urge to clap her hands to her face and squeal.<br />

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EXCERPT Book 1:</strong></p>
<p>As soon as Dom left the building and sighted his motorcycle, he got sidetracked by something he didn’t usually see along with it—a gorgeous woman.</p>
<p>“Wow,” Dom breathed. He’d seen her before, but not like this, leaning casually against the machine as if she belonged to it.</p>
<p>The worn, cropped black leather jacket fit her frame perfectly. Underneath the jacket he could see the mess of silver necklaces she wore around her neck, easily a couple dozen. She was resting against the side of the seat so that her legs were straight out, crossed at the ankles. The skinny jeans she wore outlined every contour of sleekly muscled legs.</p>
<p>Her black leather boots didn’t come up much above those ankles, and the leather was dusty with long wear, the toes all scuffed up. She had her phone out in one hand and a tube of lipstick in the other. Using the phone as a mirror, she swiped an intense red across her lips.</p>
<p>Dom hated lipstick. But it was still sexy as hell to watch her put it on.</p>
<p>She took her time, pursing her mouth in the mimic of a kiss, though she smiled only at the phone, not even glancing around. Her disdain for her surroundings was louder than any insult she might have screamed. It was defiant. It was unnecessarily provoking. And it looked great.</p>
<p>He was not the only man watching. Two other bikers had strolled up while he was inside. Dom wasn’t sure why they weren’t getting too close. Then he saw his cat pacing in a tight figure eight pattern between the new guys and the bike.</p>
<p>One guy took a step forward, and earned a hiss from the cat, who arched her back in the classic Halloween pose.</p>
<p>They laughed, but didn’t try to move forward. Piewicket could be far more intimidating than her tiny size suggested.</p>
<p>“Pussycat’s got claws,” one said.</p>
<p>“Which pussycat you looking at?” the other said, and laughed again.</p>
<p>Dom did not like that sound. He’d had enough of this place.</p>
<p>He moved faster. Not running, but not wasting time.</p>
<p>“What’s the rush, pal?” the first biker asked, seeing him pass.</p>
<p>Dom didn’t answer.</p>
<p>His passenger must have been more alert to the situation than she seemed, because she somehow put her phone and lipstick away and swung one long leg over the seat by the time he reached the bike.</p>
<p>He pushed the new helmet toward her. “Put this on. And hold onto me, because when I drive out of here, I’ll be doing it fast. Got it?”</p>
<p>She looked dubious, but did it, covering her blonde hair with the shiny helmet. Then her hands slipped around his chest, holding tight.</p>
<p>Dom grinned in spite of the danger he could feel all around him, thinking, <em>After this, I should really find out her name.</em><br />
