We have a house full of teenagers who don't need mommy anymore, and the hubs is a traveling ER nurse, SO I have found myself with a lot of downtime.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">After years of having this story taking space in my head, I decided to share it with the world. Gotta say, this writing gig is HARD. But with some time and grace, I'll get it right.</div></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

A stupidly gorgeous and wildly talented venture capitalist named Dallas Evener. I was the fiery yin to his dominant yang. He set my entrepreneurial heart aflame. Our destiny was clear as day … and then he had to go and ruin it. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2840000545454546; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I swore never to do business with him. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2840000545454546; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">A decade later, I’m eating my words. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2840000545454546; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">A scandal rocks my startup passion project and I’m left in a lurch when the lead investor backs out. My only hope for money? Dallas. But that means I play by his rules. And the whispers around town imply he funds his projects with dirty money. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2840000545454546; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Is that why we fly to Argentina to close the deal with a mysterious financier? Dallas promises this is a no-brainer, although nothing comes risk-free. I’ll take a chance with my company. The question is, do I put my heart on the line again when our simmering chemistry reignites? Because there is more to this transaction than meets the eye. And everything I thought I knew about Dallas and love tangles into a compromising position neither of us expects.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2840000545454546; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The epic finale to the Hustlers Series is a full-length enemies-to-lovers dark romance, buzzing with spicy friction, tangled fates, and steamy second chances.

She's now putting that to good use--one happily ever after at a time.
An Ohio native, she's fiercely loyal to Cleveland sports, is the owner of way too many -- yet not enough -- tumblers and will be a New Kids on the Block fan until the day she dies. She does her best writing at Starbucks, or anywhere that's not her house. Oh, and yes, you probably saw her on TikTok.
As for her own happily ever after? Maybe one day... </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal;

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hallie</span></b></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">No one pushes my buttons the way Logan Johnson does. I’ve spent most of my adult life trying to ignore him, which isn’t easy when you live in a small town and share the same friends.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, when I have a little too much to drink and need a place to crash after our friends’ wedding, it would figure I find myself at Logan’s house. What I’m not expecting is ending up in his bed. With him. Naked. More so, I wasn’t anticipating enjoying myself as much as I did, anxious for a repeat, which is why I’m not surprised when it happens again.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The problem is those drunken nights have resulted in something unplanned. Something monumental. Something that will change our lives forever.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Logan</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Being attracted to someone who drives you completely crazy is its own form of hell. Hallie Rhodes is entirely infuriating, yet so damn beautiful it makes me ache.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There’s a fine line between love and hate, and we’ve been blurring it for as long as I can remember. So, when a late, drunken night turns into something it shouldn’t, all bets are off. Plans change and futures are cemented, despite having no idea what really comes next. All I know is the more time we spend together, the more I realize having her in my life is paramount.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now my biggest challenge of all presents itself. Proving to Hallie we’re better together than we ever were apart.</div></span><div>

<p><strong>Savage Passion</strong><br><strong>Ember Sparks</strong><br>(Savage Bloods MC)<br>Publication date: March 15th 2024<br>Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance, Suspense</p><blockquote><p><em><strong>He’s been given a second chance…</strong></em><br />
Steven “Slade” Graham, Vice President of The Savage Bloods MC, just got a full pardon after spending seven years in prison. Only, he has no idea who got him out. Or why. And then he comes face to face with the one man he hasn’t seen in years: Harland Carter—president of The Savage Bloods and Steven’s former best friend. Turns out, Harland needs Steven’s help, and it’s a matter of life or death.</p>
<p><em><strong>She vowed to never get involved…</strong></em><br />
Since the death of her twin brother and the creation of The Savage Bloods MC, Cassandra “Cassie” Carter swore she’d never have anything to do with that club—or her brother. And definitely not the man who took her virginity and then left her for said club. But then Steven crashes back into her life, and everything comes crumbling down around her.</p>
<p><em><strong>She’s the target…</strong></em><br />
A madman intent on seeking revenge against The Savage Bloods MC club has his sights set on Cassie. Now, she has no choice but to get involved with the club and entrust her safety to them. To make matters worse, Steven isn’t just protecting her life, he’s stealing her heart. Again. And if she can’t trust him, she’ll end up dead.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EXCERPT:</strong></p>
<p><em>Cassie…</em></p>
<p>Leaning against the bar is a man. A very sexy, very muscular, very dangerous looking man. Dark, shoulder length hair. Icy blue eyes. Jeans with a bulging crotch. Black T-shirt that stretches deliciously across his shoulders and chest. My heart races at the sight of him, but more so because he’s staring right at me.</p>
<p>But then I notice he’s also wearing a goddman kutte covered with the Savage Bloods insignia. Because of course he’s part of the club. A beer bottle is pinched between his fingers, and he’s standing there like he owns this place. Cocky arrogance radiates off him, and he clearly owns that. He’s 100 percent pure male. Pure trouble. And one million percent not my type of guy.</p>
<p>Yet, I can’t seem to stop staring at him. He’s everything Ryan isn’t, and that excites me in a way I don’t like. I don’t look away, and neither does he. There’s something familiar about him, though, and I narrow my eyes, studying him. Do I know him? That wouldn’t be so far-fetched considering I’ve met everyone in the Savage Bloods at least once before. Still, something nags at the back of my mind.</p>
<p>“He’s staring at you,” Becca shouts over the music, jerking me from my thoughts. “You should go talk to him.”</p>
<p>“No.” I shake my head.</p>
<p>Turning away from his heated stare, I focus on dancing with Becca, but I can feel his gaze on me, feel the way he’s undressing me with his eyes, devouring me.</p>
<p>Maybe Becca’s right. Maybe I need to take the plunge and go talk to him. Doing so will certainly get my mind off Ryan. But damn… I’m not sure I can handle a guy like that. He’s so hard and rough and a tad scary. Not to mention, he’s part of the club, and I swore never to get involved with that life. Just because I’m nursing a broken heart doesn’t mean I need to go catch a raging case of the stupids.</p>
<p>And that man could make any woman stupid.<br />

<p><strong>The Helping Heart</strong><br><strong>Annie M. Ballard</strong><br>(Sisters of Stella Mare, #4)<br>Publication date: March 15th 2024<br>Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Women’s Fiction</p><blockquote><p><strong>Helen comes home and everything should be wonderful. Even if she’s returning due to a divorce. But there is more…</strong></p>
<p>The Madison sisters, once close, are suddenly alienated as oldest Helen returns to Stella Mare. Her desire to help everyone includes keeping them at a distance, so her own secrets stay private. Her plan backfires, making her persona non grata and upsetting her father. To keep the peace with Dad, she suggests a group activity: the four sisters will hike the Fundy Footpath, an iconic and challenging backpacking trip along the Bay of Fundy. Why not? They’re young, they’re strong, and besides, they’re Madisons.</p>
<p>Despite each sister’s reservations, the desire to reconnect pulls them into this adventure. The hike is arduous and not for the faint of heart. Daunting cliffs, deep forests, rushing rivers and unpredictable tides accompany the gorgeous views, stunning sunrises, and the sheer power of nature. The challenges, though shared, fracture things further, and even Helen’s campfire confession doesn’t heal the breach. But when crisis happens, Helen is called to rise to the occasion and be the sister they need her to be.</p>
<p><strong>Returning to Stella Mare was hard. Regaining her place in the family was harder. Come home to Stella Mare with Helen, as she, Rett, Evie and Dorie learn once again how to be sisters.</strong></p>

<p>“Time to burn some of those calories,” Helen called out. “Let’s get going.”</p>
<p>Evie cast her a curious gaze. “Is there something we’re hurrying for? You should let us know, Helen.”</p>
<p>She narrowed her eyes. “We need to get going. We’re like sitting ducks here.”</p>
<p>Rett laughed. “We’re nobody’s target. We started early, we already did the tidal crossings, so we are not worried about tides right now, and we have time to take a break if somebody is vomiting. Really.”</p>
<p>Helen shook her head and walked away toward the tree line. Where was that wolf? And why couldn’t her sisters take direction?</p>
<p>Annoyed, she kept gazing into the woods, though she kept an ear tuned toward the conversations behind her. Soon enough, everybody got ready to go again, and Evie called to her. “We’re all set, Helen.” She huffed a little as she headed back, chin held high.</p>
<p>Evie started off beside Dorie, the two easily chatting. Rett waited for Helen. “Tone it down a bit,” she advised.</p>
<p>“Are you bitching about me, too?” Helen snapped.</p>
<p>“Like that,” Rett said noncommittally. “Take it down a notch.”</p>
<p>“You’re so helpful,” she sniped. “Like anybody even notices me.”</p>
<p>“Everybody notices you.” Rett’s tone was correcting. “Especially when you’re being a royal pain in the neck. Tone it down. Nobody’s here to make a fool of you.”</p>
<p>Helen, shocked, took the impact of those words on her chest. <em>Nobody’s here to make a fool of you.</em> She had nothing to say.</p>
<p>Rett nudged her with an elbow. “Come on. Let’s make it a good day for a hike.”</p>
<p>She nodded tightly and followed.</p>
<p>Hiking made her brain run faster. Rett’s words rang in her memory. Nobody’s here to make a fool of you, Helen.</p>
<p><em>I don’t need anyone to do that. I’ve done it myself, more than once. A lot more than once.</em></p>
<p>Despite her tired body, her mind was super-charged as thoughts, memories and feelings flooded her. She couldn’t outrace them, and even the challenging terrain didn’t distract her, though after a series of switchbacks, landing at the brook felt like an accomplishment. Or at least a break from her thoughts.</p>

For though Fiends have magic, beauty, and power, their immortal lives are restricted. Vampires must sate their blood lust. Wytches will crumble to dust when their magic runs out. Shapeshifting Haunts must keep their vicious beasts caged. Incubi and succubi cannot indulge in carnal pleasure without dire consequences.</p><p>Novari is a human who bartends for Luccero, an alluring incubus and the star of her fantasies. She can’t have Luc, but she does have Keo, who also wouldn’t mind Luc’s touch. Keo, who loathes being a vampire, is in pursuit of a fabled cure that will turn Fiends human. A cure highly in demand as many Fiends crave freedom from their burdened lives.</p><p>When an unexpected discovery about the cure’s location puts Novari and Keo in danger, they take refuge in Luccero’s sprawling manor. There, they contemplate how to stay safe … and succumb to each other’s seduction.</p><p>The pleasure she finds with Luc and Keo makes Novari want to hide away forever, but when the danger zeroes in, they’ll have to figure out how to overcome it before the dream they’ve found together becomes a nightmare.</p></blockquote><p style="font-size: 20.8px; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/205585086-a-seduction-of-dreams-and-nightmares" target="_blank">Goodreads</a> / <a href="https://amzn.to/3IrQ4uQ" target="_blank">Amazon</a></p><p style="text-align: center;">—</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EXCERPT:</strong></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">I wonder what Luc does on nights like these. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">The thought flitted through my mind as I turned down a quieter block and the top of Luc’s manor came into view. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">I hadn’t really thought about it before, I realized.

Did he watch trashy T.V.? Intellectual documentaries? Sitcoms? Nature programs? Anime? Somehow, I couldn’t picture him on a sectional with a remote in his hand. Did sex Fiends do anything other than feed off sexual energy and fuck their Mates? I volleyed that thought around and wondered why I didn’t know the answer. Surely they did more than indulge their erotic desires, right?

<p><strong>King of Nothing</strong><br><strong>Paula Dombrowiak</strong><br>(Kingmaker Series, #1)<br>Publication date: March 12th 2024<br>Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance</p><blockquote><p><strong>I’m not the sort of girl you take home to meet your parents.</strong></p>
<p><strong>But our marriage of convenience is the perfect revenge…</strong></p>
<p>I find Darren Walker drowning himself in expensive whiskey. Young, handsome, and educated, he’s the playboy son of a U.S. Senator, and his father’s sudden death has hit him harder than expected.</p>
<p>When he offers me millions of dollars to marry him, I want to tell him that I can’t be bought.</p>
<p>But of course, that’s not true, and Darren is prepared to play dirty.</p>
<p>He’s made it his life’s mission to squander his potential in order to avoid living in his father’s shadow. But if he wants to see even one cent of his trust fund, he needs a wife. And not just any wife will do.</p>
<p>Ours will purely be a marriage of convenience, and I’m going to be his final, perfect revenge.</p>
<p>My name is Evangeline Bowen, and I’m an escort to the rich and powerful. But soon I’ll be the wife of a Senator’s son, who thinks he knows all my dark secrets.</p>
<p>All of them, except for one…</p>
<p><em><strong>King of Nothing is the first book in The Kingmaker trilogy, a steamy marriage of convenience romance full of political scandal. The books must be read in order for the best reader experience.</strong></em></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EXCERPT:</strong></p>
<p>“Your parents are dead, and you trash a hotel room.” His blue eyes look past me as he adds on, “And apparently fuck hookers.”</p>
<p>I follow his gaze to see Evangeline coming from the bedroom, her hair still wet and dripping onto her shoulders while she holds her shoes.</p>
<p>“What makes you think I’m a hooker?” she asks as she slips on her heels.</p>
<p>Rausch assesses her carefully, his mouth pressed firmly in a tight line. “An educated guess.”</p>
<p>“Jesus Christ, Darren. Do you know how much this will cost to fix?” Rausch gestures dramatically to the trashed room. I notice the TV mounted on the wall is cracked, and I just now remember that I hit it on my way out of the room last night, looking down at my knuckles to notice the bruises only just now.</p>
<p>“Just have the hotel send me the bill.”</p>
<p>“Money is not going to fix this,” Rausch yells, “especially when you don’t have any.”</p>
<p>“You’re not making any sense.”</p>
<p>Alistair straightens. “Can we just calm down?”</p>
<p>“I don’t think either of you fuckups really understand the gravity of the situation,” Rausch spits, pinching his eyebrows as if he’s talking to two disorderly students instead of two grown men. “Your parents are dead, and not only is that a difficult situation for Congress, but it also means your money – your <em>parent’s</em> money,” he makes a point to say, “is tied up in probate.”</p>
<p>“Can you – just stop saying that?” I throw my hands up.</p>
<p>“That your parents are dead? No, because the sooner you wake up and join reality, the better.”</p>
<p>“What do you mean, there’s no money?”</p>
<p>“The money is locked up in probate.”</p>
<p>“What the fuck do you mean, probate?” I question, staring at Rausch with my chest heaving.</p>
<p>“You went to law school; did they not teach you about probate law?” Rausch doesn’t rattle easily, that’s why he got the reputation he has. Unbreakable, formidable, and effective – <em>The Kingmaker</em>.</p>
<p>Of course I know about probate law, and that means my parents money could be frozen anywhere from six months to two years.</p>
<p>I’m mad at Rausch for being the only one I have right now. I’m mad at myself for being such a fuckup. I’m mad at the pilot for crashing the helicopter. I’m mad that I feel <em>anything</em>.</p>
<p>“Is that what you think I’m worried about?” I ask him.</p>
<p>“You have worried about no one else but yourself, <em>Darren</em>, your whole life,” Rausch lectures. “What do you think your mother would say if she saw you right now?” His eyes travel south, and then over to Evangeline, who is still standing next to me, eyeing the exit that is still blocked by the security guard.</p>
<p>“This is what I’m talking about.” Rausch points to the overturned table. “It’s exactly why your parents put stipulations in their wills.”</p>
<p>I pull on the shorts and toss my hair out of my eyes. “Stipulations?” I ask, cautiously.</p>
<p>“Yes, Darren. If you weren’t being such a fucking child, you would listen to me,” Rausch continues, and he’s right. I don’t want to listen to him, but he has me in a stranglehold right now, like a boa constrictor around my neck. Worse yet, he knows it.</p>
<p>My father rarely discussed business with me, and he certainly didn’t make me privy to his will or his wishes, should something happen to him. He certainly wasn’t anticipating dying in a helicopter crash with my mom and leaving me alone to figure things out.</p>
<p>When I look at Rausch I take that back, because my father did anticipate such things, he just put Rausch in charge—not me. He never would have trusted me to handle his estate. Right now, I’m at Rausch’s mercy, so I keep my mouth shut while the anger burns through me.</p>
<p>“You don’t get any money until you’re thirty years old,” Rausch says, and then after a dramatic pause, adds, “or married.”</p>
<p><em>Jesus fuck!</em></p>
<p>He’ll make me beg, give me condescending lectures, and torture me for the next three fucking years. My heart sinks into my stomach, and Rausch can see it all on my face – the realization that he owns me. A satisfied smirk appears on his mouth.</p>
<p>Perhaps if I had been the good son, stayed out of trouble, listened to him more, prayed at the altar of Emerson, who he loved so fucking much, maybe then he wouldn’t have put Rausch in charge of his affairs.</p>
<p>I narrow my eyes at Rausch because I’ve never been known to back down from a fight, and I still have skin in this game. It’s an impulsive move, but dire situations require dire action. I grab Evangeline, pulling her to my side. “Well, isn’t it convenient that my fiancée is right here?”</p>

<p><strong>Unleashed</strong><br><strong>Ren Alexander</strong><br>(Unraveled Renegade, #3)<br>Publication date: March 12th 2024<br>Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance</p><blockquote><p><strong>Battered and bruised, Greg Rodwell struggles without his bride.</strong></p>
<p>I married her as a favor. Then she dumped me out of spite.</p>
<p>All her life, Simone’s control-freak father fed her money as long as she played by his rules, even forcing her to sign a contract and punishing her if she took her beloved stepfather’s last name. I devised a plan and offered her my own contract, marrying Simone so she could keep the money and dump her dad’s name. Although our relationship had been as frenemies, our marriage transformed into the real deal. I fell in love with being Simone’s devoted husband. And with her. I thought. Until that night, a colossal argument shattered us. Like a trashy country song, she bailed on me and our marriage in my pickup truck and skipped town. It hurt like hell, but I had to honor our vows and try to win her back.</p>
<p>Returning to Richmond, I watch Simone parading her loser dates as if it’s a sport. I start dating to help myself let go. But things hit a snag when Simone’s father shows up to stay with her for a week. She pleads with me to help her tell her father about our breakup instead of him discovering it and revoking her funds. At first, watching her squirm amuses me, but I’m not a total jackass. I’ll save her once more, but this time, I’m calling the shots, refusing to suffer through another painful breakup. Unfortunately, this infuriates Simone, but now she’s stuck with a husband for a week. Since I’m homeless, crashing with her works out. However, playing out our marriage in front of her father, stuff between Simone and me soon gets real. Way too real.</p>
<p>Dating to avoid Simone only worsens things because of my intense attraction to her. She’s an addiction no rehab can fix. Yet, when she reciprocates the obsession, I freak out and push her too far all over again. But this time, the massive fallout changes us forever.</p>
<p><em>You’ll achieve maximum shock and awe if the Wild Sparks Series and The Keys to Jericho are read before this series.</em></p>
<p><strong>WARNING</strong>: Though Greg Rodwell is an office clown, his Unraveled Renegade series contains profuse graphic language, explicit sexual content, violence, and dark content not suitable for sensitive audiences. Reader discretion is highly advised.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EXCERPT:</strong></p>
<p>Again, I open the door without a preview. It’s not like I would turn away a serial killer or the Grim Reaper.</p>
<p>My eyes land on a throat. As they travel up, they glide over Greg Rodwell’s sexy face. I straighten with a gasp and blink away the surprise, hoping I’m not hallucinating. “What are you doing here?”</p>
<p>His gaze lands on my tits, and my hardening nipples beg for him to notice. I wish I regretted taking off my bra, but I don’t. Greg’s eyes meet mine, and instead of looking away, I hold them with mine. I’ve stared into his eyes while making love, but now they’re indifferent. His voice breaks my staring. “I forgot my key.”</p>
<p>“For?”</p>
<p>As I grapple with not knowing what to do, Greg pushes past me into the entryway. From the living room, my father watches us. Greg waves and then faces me, mumbling, “Let’s get this shit done.”</p>
<p>Through my teeth, I whisper, “But why? You said—”</p>
<p>He slices his hand through the air, mumbling, “Five minutes is all you get.”</p>
<p>I nod, stunned. Greg isn’t letting me do this alone. I could kiss him—but I won’t. “I’ll do the talking,” I mouth, and Greg shrugs. He follows me into the living room. Instead of sitting down with me on the couch, Greg offers my dad a handshake.</p>
<p>Going along with the last-minute plan, I say, “Dad, this is Greg. Greg, this is my dad, Marc Garrison.” Dad doesn’t stand up and hesitates before returning the handshake.</p>
<p>“It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Garrison. Like South Park, huh? Where is Mr. Hand?” Greg snorts, and I cringe as my dad wrinkles his nose like he smells rotten cheese.</p>
<p>“It’s <em>Dr</em>. Garrison. I thought Simone told you I’m an orthodontist?”</p>
<p>Greg releases Dad’s hand and steps back, slipping his hand into his dark hair, and it mesmerizes me. I hate that. “Oh, I’m sorry. Yeah. I fell on my head a lot as a kid.” <em>Jesus Christ, Greg.</em></p>
<p>I shoot Greg a look, but he sits on the couch without looking at me. And then I see he’s wearing his silver wedding ring. My heart stops. Dead. Out of order. Gone for good. I don’t know whether to be shocked or furious.</p>
<p>Dad’s horror escalates. “I’d also like to say it’s nice to meet you, but we’ll see.”</p>
<p>Greg mutters, “I get it. I’m not for everyone.”</p>
<p>I sit beside Greg. His citrusy musk cologne makes my mouth water, and I lick my lips again, no doubt looking like a thirsty lizard in a desert. Narrowing his eyes at me, Dad sighs as if I failed out of school. “I was thinking you were a figment of my daughter’s imagination. Maybe even a scam.”</p>
<p>Greg smirks and my heart flutters because I drank too much caffeine. “No figment. I’m as real as a heart attack.” Classy.</p>
<p>We sit in uncomfortable silence, with Dad studying Greg more than he’s ever cared to learn about me. “Simone tells me you work at a gas station.” No, no, no. Greg is so going to ruin this.</p>
<p>Tripping over confusion and his words, Greg laughs but then frowns. He starts, stops, and sighs several times before saying, “Uh, I sure do.” My heart surges, but his clenched fists on his knees tell me he’ll never help me again.</p>
<p>My dad throws his hand out and then touches his mustached lip before asking, “Where have you been, though? It’s evident you don’t live here.”</p>
<p>Before Greg answers, I say, “Dad, please.”</p>
<p>Greg sits back against the couch and rests his folded hands between his thighs. “I’ve been around. It’s like this…” He sighs, and it both scares and thrills me. “I’ve been staying with a friend. Simone and I had an argument.”</p>
<p>My father chuckles like he heard a nonsensical knock-knock joke. “It’s obvious, but that shouldn’t explain why you don’t live with Simone as man and wife. Or are you hoping she’ll be the breadwinner? Since her father is wealthy, you may see pumping gas and cleaning the soda machine as a joy ride.”</p>
<p>Surprised even he would slither that low, I gasp, “Dad, that’s not fair! Greg isn’t here for you to critique his life!”</p>
<p>“Now, Simone, I will not tolerate a man you just met and married shirking his duties. As a wife, you should know this.”</p>
<p>I shrink against the couch but keep my thigh against Greg’s. It comforts me a little. Greg clears his throat. “I’m sorry. My duties?”</p>
<p>My father’s eyes narrow as he locks his gaze on my ex, his words dripping with annoyance. “I expect you to act like a husband.”</p>
<p>Greg pushes up his jacket sleeves, and I bite my lip. Christ, it’s hot in here. Greg’s voice is a sharp razor blade slicing through the unbearable friction. “Oh, really?”</p>
<p>I twitch my leg against him, bouncing his against mine. I mumble, “Greg…”</p>
<p>He waves his hand to shut me up. “No way. Your dad needs to hear this. We shouldn’t be ashamed.”</p>
<p>“Huh?” I sit up and angle toward him.</p>
<p>“I’m trying to be a husband to Simone. We have a lot on our plates, but to be honest, I’ve been putting way more effort between the sheets—”</p>
<p>“What?” I shriek, forgetting my dad is watching. We’re taking on water and sinking fast. I didn’t even wear a cute bikini.</p>
<p>Greg sails on, leaving me to doggy paddle. “But I’m not a machine. It’d be nice to slow down and not perform on demand.” As I remain frozen in the water, watching the Titanic sink, Greg motions toward me with a laugh. “Come on. Your daughter isn’t ugly. But sometimes all I want to do is focus on our desire and not on making Greg Jr. It’s not that I can’t do it, but I’m worn out. You know?”</p>
<p>The horror coursing through my body stabs me from every direction. I grab Greg’s arm, but he leans closer and mock whispers, “Shh, baby. Your dad needs to hear all this.” I fucking hate that I notice him calling me <em>baby</em> and miss it more than wearing pink.</p>
<p>I shove his arm to snap him out of the bullshit, but Greg grins at me. He knows I can’t refute our marriage status now…unless I dump him in front of my dad. And he’s beating me at my own game.<br />

<p><strong>A Seduction of Dreams and Nightmares</strong><br><strong>A.J. Locke</strong><br>Publication date: March 26th 2024<br>Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance</p><blockquote><p>They say humans are dreams and Fiends are nightmares. For though Fiends have magic, beauty, and power, their immortal lives are restricted. Vampires must sate their blood lust. Wytches will crumble to dust when their magic runs out. Shapeshifting Haunts must keep their vicious beasts caged. Incubi and succubi cannot indulge in carnal pleasure without dire consequences.</p>
<p>Novari is a human who bartends for Luccero, an alluring incubus and the star of her fantasies. She can’t have Luc, but she does have Keo, who also wouldn’t mind Luc’s touch. Keo, who loathes being a vampire, is in pursuit of a fabled cure that will turn Fiends human. A cure highly in demand as many Fiends crave freedom from their burdened lives.</p>
<p>When an unexpected discovery about the cure’s location puts Novari and Keo in danger, they take refuge in Luccero’s sprawling manor. There, they contemplate how to stay safe … and succumb to each other’s seduction.</p>
<p>The pleasure she finds with Luc and Keo makes Novari want to hide away forever, but when the danger zeroes in, they’ll have to figure out how to overcome it before the dream they’ve found together becomes a nightmare.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EXCERPT:</strong></p>
<p>“Cursed,” came Luc’s soft voice. “As Fiends we consider ourselves cursed, nightmares. Humans, fragile and finite as they may be, are the dreams. They are born, they grow, they change, they have choices we will never have about who they want to be and what feeds their appetites. But we, everlasting and unchanging until the moment of our demise, have little choice. I can never travel far by myself lest I have no means to sate my Lust. I came into existence as an incubus with a specific way I must live, and that is all I can ever be.”</p>
<p>His words reminded me of the conversation with Keo last night and the way he’d questioned his urges because he couldn’t stop wondering if everything about him was decided before he even existed.</p>
<p>“I don’t think I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about things from your perspective. I feel bad about that.”</p>
<p>Luc chuckled. “Humans are selfish beings; I do not fault you for it.”</p>
<p>“I’m not—”</p>
<p>“I meant it not as an insult,” he cut in, “you are selfish because you know your time is limited. That there is an inevitable end you cannot avoid, and though you wish for the years to take you into old age, you live with no idea if your next day will be your last. Thus, you focus on yourselves, your pursuits, your pleasures. You can pick up jobs, hobbies, lovers, and discard them as your mood fits because ‘life is short,’ no?</p>
<p>“You try to pull as much life from the world as you can because when you die, there is no coming back. Fiends can walk through centuries; we do not think of time the same way. Were two hundred of your friends to ask you to keep something of theirs in your care for the rest of your life you would say there was no way you could dedicate your life to taking care of things that do not belong to you. Things that would impede your ability to live your life on your terms.”</p>
<p>He raised his hand to indicate the greenhouse. “But for me? I said yes every single time a Fleurisse came to me. Because it was of no consequence to hold on to things that would remain as long as I. All I have is time, and thus, we endure the long years together.”</p>
<p>Luccero was far more perceptive and empathetic than I would have ever thought he was. In a few short hours I’d learned more about him than I’d ever known. Because all I’d seen when I looked at him was his beauty, all I’d felt was his charm and his lusty aura. But he was so much more than a creature of seduction. I was sure his long life was full of amazing stories. He could tell me something about every Fleurisse here, was probably knowledgeable about things I wouldn’t know the first thing about.</p>
<p>I badly wanted to know this side of him more.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Roboto;">“Don’t kill today. Just get through the rest of the day. Find other ways to silence your demons. Get through the night and see me in the morning. Don’t run from your demons, speak them into existence. It’s the only way to vanquish them once and for all.”</span><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto;">“I just need to last the night,” I repeat. It sounds insane…but maybe that’s good since my sanity is probably highly in question to begin with. Maybe I need to go against what feels natural for once.</span><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto;">“That’s all, just last the night.”</span><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto;">“Do you know how many times I’ve prayed to be delivered from this evil? It hasn’t worked before.”</span><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto;">“You can pray for deliverance, and God may send you a boat…but you’ve still got to paddle it.”</span><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto;">I hate when he makes a rational point, and he interprets my silence correctly.</span><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto;">“You are faithful and come every day. If you put that kind of dedication into not killing, I know you could do it.”</span><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto;">He isn’t wrong, so that would mean I’m just weak…I hate feeling weak, so I do what I always do, and I steal the power back.</span><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto;">“That’s the difference between you and me, Father. You believe in redemption. You look at me and see a sinner who can change their ways.” Even though he can’t see me, I allow a slow, sinister smile to emerge. “I look at you, and all I see is your carotid artery, and wonder how far the blood would spray if I cut it.” I drop my voice an octave, making sure the ice resonates behind my words. “Don’t mistake faith for purity, Father.”</span></span></div>

She is the author of Blood and Bone, her first adult romance novel which combines her love of music and imperfect relationships. Paula is a lifelong music junkie, whose wardrobe consists of band T-shirts and leggings which are perpetually covered in pet hair. She is a sucker for a redeemable villain, bad boys, and the tragically flawed.

Then she dumped me out of spite.</p><p>All her life, Simone’s control-freak father fed her money as long as she played by his rules, even forcing her to sign a contract and punishing her if she took her beloved stepfather’s last name. I devised a plan and offered her my own contract, marrying Simone so she could keep the money and dump her dad’s name. Although our relationship had been as frenemies, our marriage transformed into the real deal. I fell in love with being Simone’s devoted husband. And with her. I thought. Until that night, a colossal argument shattered us. Like a trashy country song, she bailed on me and our marriage in my pickup truck and skipped town. It hurt like hell, but I had to honor our vows and try to win her back.</p><p>Returning to Richmond, I watch Simone parading her loser dates as if it’s a sport. I start dating to help myself let go. But things hit a snag when Simone’s father shows up to stay with her for a week. She pleads with me to help her tell her father about our breakup instead of him discovering it and revoking her funds. At first, watching her squirm amuses me, but I’m not a total jackass. I’ll save her once more, but this time, I’m calling the shots, refusing to suffer through another painful breakup. Unfortunately, this infuriates Simone, but now she’s stuck with a husband for a week. Since I’m homeless, crashing with her works out. However, playing out our marriage in front of her father, stuff between Simone and me soon gets real. Way too real.</p><p>Dating to avoid Simone only worsens things because of my intense attraction to her. She’s an addiction no rehab can fix. Yet, when she reciprocates the obsession, I freak out and push her too far all over again. But this time, the massive fallout changes us forever.</p><p><em>You’ll achieve maximum shock and awe if the Wild Sparks Series and The Keys to Jericho are read before this series.</em></p><p><strong>WARNING</strong>: Though Greg Rodwell is an office clown, his Unraveled Renegade series contains profuse graphic language, explicit sexual content, violence, and dark content not suitable for sensitive audiences.

She glares at me with an arched blonde eyebrow but a frown on her lips. I miss the taste of her lips on my tongue. “Awesome. I’m sure Tansy loves that.” I have no desire to be up Tansy’s cooch but can’t tell Simone this. It’ll knock our lives out of balance.

I move my hand between us to slip my fingers into her bikini. Brushing through her pubic hair, I tease her open slit and sigh. “I’m hooked on your pussy. The feel of thrusting into you right here,” I push my finger inside her more and move it up and down as I watch her breathing faster, “is so fucking hot.
