★★★★★ Goodreads Review - “This was action packed, suspenseful, dramatic, and chemistry filled. A thrilling read with all the right elements. I love this series.”




Growing up as the youngest Doughty meant missing out on a normal life.

I didn’t want the life I was dealt, but I also felt I had no choice except to embrace my legacy. My family had targets placed on their backs, simply because of our name and the power we held, so I knew I had to be ready for anything that came my way.

Being sent to boarding school was a way to protect me—and get me away from the very life I didn’t want—but it also brought me something else.

Shane.

My brothers took him in, and I chased away the nightmares that came with his tortured past, ignoring the burning desire I knew was there, because I didn’t want to ruin our fast-found friendship.

Now though? He’s severed the very bond I tried so hard to protect in the most brutal betrayal.

He went from being my best friend to my enemy, and now I want answers.

Release Blitz: No Man's Land by Courtney W. Dixon

Author: Courtney W. Dixon
Release: May 31, 2023
Genre: M/M Romance
Tropes: student/advisor, college romance, daddy/boy, big age gap





There’s only one man I will allow to know me. My mind, heart, and soul are my gifts to Mr. Carter.

Levi
I used to joke with my found family that I had daddy issues as a deflection from my problems. I didn’t want anyone to know that side of me. I had a classic case of it, keeping me from relating to young men my age. All because of my abusive father. At seventeen, I started college and developed an obsession with my advisor, Mr. Ashton Carter. He was everything I could ever want, and I knew deep down he could fulfill my needs that I couldn’t find with anyone else. But I was too young and had to wait until I turned eighteen and play my cards right. Would he want someone with my issues that no one else knew about other than my therapist? And I thought I left my past behind, only to discover that it's trying to claim me once more.

Ash
Levi Dawson was barely seventeen when he first came to me. His brilliant mind struggled to find direction, and I did my best to guide him. The more time we spent together the more he flirted. I knew he had developed feelings for me, but he was too young, and I could lose my job at the university if we acted on them. When I stumbled upon Levi as the victim of a brutal attack, I saved him. Since then, he has desperately clung to me. Could I hold back my growing feelings for the young man? He was too hard to resist.

  Blurb:   I’m a monster. I kidnapped the wrong girl, and under excruciating circumstances, we fell in love. I took every beating and form of torture meant for her. For months I protected Everleigh, only to lose her when we finally escaped.   It’s been years, and the ghost of Everleigh Adams still haunts me. The nightmare of losing the only woman I’ll ever love has driven me to insanity. And then I start to see her everywhere. Her ghost has left my nightmares to taunt me in my waking life.   Turns out Everleigh never died, and she’s kept a secret from me. When we come face-to-face after four years of pure hell and agony of living without her, she’s still out of my reach. But if insanity has taught me one thing – there are no rules. I’ll take what’s mine. There’s nowhere Everleigh can run to escape me.
