Release Blitz - THE FOREVER PROMISE by Leigh James

 


The Forever Promise by Leigh James is live!



Once Upon a Time, there was a grumpy, reclusive billionaire and his young, hired bride—who was in WAY over her head.

It wasn’t exactly how I’d pictured my wedding day: sold to a stranger, a cold billionaire almost twice my age. Bryce Windsor barely looked at me as we took our vows. He’s hardly spoken a word since taking me to his remote estate. I married him to save my brother from the foster-care system. I can’t ever break the contract, or we’ll lose everything…
All Bryce cares about is that I’m a virgin, that I’m his, and that I can’t leave him—no matter what.
Bryce has a dark past, one that he won’t talk about. And since my mom died, I know I’m the only one I can ever trust. My arranged marriage is hopeless. We’re from two different worlds, and he’s so guarded, so cold.
Still, someone’s coming to my bedroom at night—watching me.
Does that mean that, despite what he says, what my new husband wants is...me?

The Forever Series is a swoon-worthy, arranged-marriage, age-gap romance saga from USA Today and Amazon Top-10 Bestselling Author Leigh James!

Release Blitz - DREAMS OF THE DEADLY by Adelaide Forrest

 


Dreams of the Deadly by Adelaide Forrest is live! 



They took her from me.
Now I'll take everything from them.

I was never meant to fall in love with her.
We were children when they betrothed us—an obligation I didn't want.
Before long, her amber eyes had pierced right through me,
transforming my indifference into gentle devotion.
Then, they stole her from me—banished me from my home and robbed her of my protection.
They damaged her in my absence, and the girl I cared for hardened into a woman I cannot resist.
I've bided my time, amassing my strength; now none who stand in my way will survive.
The time has come to take back my kingdom.
The time has come to make Thalia mine.
Author's note: Massacred Dreams is a dark mafia romance duet with elements that may be triggering to some readers.

Release Blitz & Review - OWEN NORTH by Nina Levine



My one-night stand is my new boss.

I met him at the society wedding of the year.
The man every woman in New York wants.

He's rich.
Devastatingly good looking.
Charming.
Mr. I-Could-Blow-Your-Mind.

And yes, he did blow my mind.

It was just supposed to be one night.
I told him I don't date.
But now he wants to make me his.

How will I resist all those suits and the muscles they hide?
How will I survive the unexpected dinner parties and work trips?
How will I ignore the scorching chemistry between us?

I can’t give my heart away again.

Spoiler alert: I'm failing epically.

Owen North is a standalone billionaire boss romance featuring a swoonworthy, protective alpha hero; a quirky heroine who can’t control a thing she says; forced proximity; forbidden office steamy moments; a hero who will stop at nothing to get his woman; so much fun banter; a heroine who loves being her hero’s good girl; and a HEA you will swoon over.

Cover Reveal - THE RULES OF DATING by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

 




Title: The Rules of Dating
Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative
Photo: Julius Böcklin
Model: Mark Becher
Release Date: September 19, 2022


It all started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends.
Though “friends” might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn…
Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.
Colby Lennon, along with three of his friends, owned the building where my tattoo shop was located. He and I were total opposites. He wore a tie, oozed confidence that came with years of women falling at his feet, and wasn’t afraid to say what he wanted, which lately—was me.
I hated that I found myself attracted to him. Especially since I was supposed to be on a self-imposed dating hiatus. Yet the two of us couldn’t seem to stay away from each other. We started hanging out, as friends. I even went as far as making rules for what he’d dubbed our “undates.”
But eventually, our explosive attraction became too much to bear, and we broke our resolve. I let my guard down and started to really fall for Colby.
Nothing could have prepared me for the ride he took me on. And I certainly wasn't prepared for where I'd wind up when the ride was over.
All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.

Excerpt Reveal - TRUE NORTH by JB Salsbury

 

He said he’d never fall in love.
Never say never.

True North, an all-new mistaken-identity contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author JB Salsbury is coming August 8th, and we have your first look!

The North name is a heavy burden. Two things I learned young—the best way to keep my head on is to keep my head down, and… never fall in love.
But I’m a sucker for a damsel in distress.

Lillian came into my life swinging. Mistaking me for my abusive twin brother, she greets me with a swift kick to the balls and a busted lip. Then she really shakes up my world.

She needs her job, but she needs a break just as much. And nothing silences my demons as efficiently as playing the hero.

To protect her from my jerk twin—her boss—I take her on a business trip and quickly learn that she’s different. Blunt. Honest. Intriguingly strange. I’m transfixed, so when she unknowingly sinks a multimillion-dollar deal, I don’t speak up. Something my family won’t forgive.

Now, I have a choice to make. I can go against my own blood and burn the North legacy to the ground, or play it safe, commit to my self-imposed rules and predestined future. Choosing her would ruin my life as I know it, but I’m starting to wonder if a life without her is worth living.

New York Times bestselling author Corinne Michaels brings the second book in the Rose Canyon series with this small-town, second chance romance.

I am in the most inconvenient marriage of convenience ever.
What started out as two friends who wanted to make their military lives easier, turned into a mess.
Why? Because I stupidly fell in love with my husband.

In an attempt to remedy my mistake, I severed all ties and put my life as a combat medic and Emmett Maxwell behind me. I've lost too many people to open myself up to love.

Now I'm working as a private investigator, and fate has stepped in, forcing our paths to intersect again when I'm looking into the disappearance of a missing girl with ties to Emmett's hometown. A case I fear puts his life in danger.

He gives me one week to prove my suspicions and then I need to sign the divorce papers and leave. The problem with that? The moment I see Emmett again, I realize how foolish it was to leave him, to think I could ever stop loving him.

When the case threatens not only my life but also his, I'm faced with my worst fear. How many times can a heart break before it shatters beyond repair?

Last night, he was a sexy stranger I couldn't get enough of.
Today, he's my new boss, who I can't seem to please.


Bad luck seems to follow me. Last night, I grabbed a drink at the bar near my new workplace.
I met the most sophisticated man when he “stole” my table. We bantered and danced, and I went home with a stranger for the first time in my life.

The next morning, I find out my hot one-night stand is my new boss. Gone is the playful, charming man from last night. Luke Maxwell is all business, acting as if our night together never happened.
He’s impossible to please, but I’m determined to succeed. This job is my chance to prove myself and put my past—and my ex—behind me. I’m not going to mess this up.

But then we go on a business trip together and end up stranded for the night. Instead of discussing our project, he kisses me in the elevator and throws a jealous fit, claiming I’m his.
Apparently, I’m not the only one who can’t forget our evening together after all.

4 Stars

I am completely enjoying this series and this book is not diffrent. I love the fun witty banter, the amazing chemistry between the characters and the family dymanics, it almost makes it feel small town like they are in their own bubble. I love how Ms Hagen gives us a low angst feel good story to just snuggle up and enjoy.

Megan and Luke are two strong independant people that weren't looking for more. Megan working on starting over and trying to find her place in her field of work. Luke happy with the life he has built, his business is doing well. How quickly the course of your life can change without you even knowing it is happening. 

Can they keep the lines drawn while Megan finishes her internship? Or will their wants and desires become too much? Can they find a way to have both?

Cover Reveal - YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE, LEE BURROWS by Piper Rayne

 

Piper Rayne has revealed the cover for You Had Your Chance, Lee Burrows!

Releasing: December 27, 2022

Cover Design: Hang Le Designs

Lee f’ing Burrows

The Kingsmen’s star quarterback.

Legendary throwing arm.

Six-pack abs.

Kissable lips.

Oh, but don’t forget, he’s also a lying, heartless egomaniac who broke my heart in college.

It took me years to build myself back up after his deceit, and now I have the dream opportunity to prove myself working as a sports therapist for a professional team.

The hurdle? Or mountain to be more accurate…

The job is with the San Francisco Kingsmen.

Back when I was a naĂŻve college girl, I felt lucky that he even noticed me. Now eight years later, he’d be lucky if I gave him the time of day.

Which I won’t. Not ever.

Some people don’t deserve a second chance and Lee Burrows is one of them.

Now if someone could only tell him that because he’s hell-bent on scoring the winning touchdown and won’t accept that it’s game over for us.
