Release Day Blitz: Split Decision [No Safe Corner 02] by A.D. Justice!

She was never the target of a moment.

She was the target of a plan.

Someone has been running an operation against Andi Morgan since she was fifteen years old. She just didn't know it until now.

With Luke in Las Vegas training for the most important fight of his career, Andi is alone in Atlanta — and the campaign against everything she's built is accelerating. The pressure is institutional, precise, and coordinated in a way that goes beyond anything Jackson Rhoades could have engineered alone. The board. The audit. The donors who suddenly have concerns. Someone with thirty years of practice is running this playbook, and they know exactly how she thinks.

The closer she gets to the source, the more the people around her become part of the game.

The man she loves makes a critical decision about their life without her — one designed to protect her, using the exact tactic she's spent her life fighting against. The distance between them becomes something neither of them knows how to close. And when a piece of documentation surfaces that connects everything she's survived to a name she doesn't recognize yet, the fight moves somewhere neither of them was prepared for.

Some operations don't stop when the first threat is neutralized. This one has been running since before she can remember.

Go down swinging.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Lady Petra and the Wolf [Lords Fall First 02] by Anna Valleria!

Excerpt!

   “I have to kiss you, Petra. You have from ten to tell me to stop. To tell me you do not want this. Ten.”

   “My lord?” A flush rose from her delectable decolletage, blooming up her neck.

   “Nine. Julian, you mean. Or Jules.”

   “Is this to do with our pretend courtship?”

   “Eight. Hang the pretense. There will be nothing pretend in this kiss.”

   If possible, Petra’s eyes grew even wider in the dim firelight as she backed up against the wall adjacent to the fireplace.

   “You wish to make it real.” She said in a very controlled voice.

   “Seven. I want you. That is what I wish. Six.”

   “I admit I do not know what I want. But I should like to find out.” She said quietly.

   “Five. Does me kissing you achieve this goal?” He had no desire to crowd her, yet it was as though his physical frame was magnetically tethered to her proximity. He braced an arm against the wainscotted wall above her, leaning toward her with slow deliberation.

   “It could be particularly illuminating.” She breathed, her face assuming a distinctly dazed expression.

   “Four. There is one thing.” Wolf paused his countdown as something hot and possessive shot through his blood. “If I kiss you, you will be thinking of me. John is the best of friends, but I cannot have you thinking of him with my lips upon you.”

   Petra drew in a shaky breath before she responded. “You are wholly unique. I do not believe I would even consider thinking of anyone or anything else if I found myself in a carnal embrace with you, my lord. Three.”

   Drawing back to search her features, Wolf scanned her face with a singular intensity. It was patently clear that her continuation of the count served as a definitive assent, a silent surrender to the mounting tension between them. The unmistakable spark of curiosity and unmasked desire dancing within those mahogany depths provided the final, exhilarating confirmation he required.

   And then she kissed him.

   Before his mind could catch up with the explosions reverberating through his chest, Petra broke away briefly and uttered a soft, breathless plea. “Forgive me, Jules, I was never very patient waiting for something I want.”

In Victorian London, Lady Petra, the daughter of the powerful and manipulative Earl of Kemberley, has spent her life as a silent pawn in her father’s political games. While the ton sees a perfectly poised debutante, Petra is secretly a woman of industry who runs a sanctuary for abused servants in a derelict London theatre.

Julian, the Viscount Wolfridge, known to the world as Wolf, is a cynical rake with a secret heart of gold and a childhood spent on the Bristol docks. When he proposes a fake courtship to Petra to stir her indifferent betrothed into action, he doesn’t realize he is stepping into a web of secrets far deeper than his own. As Petra’s world of mystery and Wolf’s path of redemption collide, they must decide if a marriage born of a trap can ever survive the truth.

Blog Tour & Giveaway: Slapshot Summer [A The Playmakers Series Novella] by G.K. Brady!

A jilted bride. A wrecked goalie. An unexpected kiss that changes everything.

I came here to reset.

After a season that pushed me to my limits, I needed sun, quiet, and space—somewhere I could shut out the noise and get my head back under control.

Then Lexi Campbell sat beside me at the bar and asked for my help flirting with another guy.

I said yes because it was supposed to be fake. A distraction. Something with clear lines and no consequences. I’m good with pressure. I know how to stay focused, how to hold my ground when everything’s coming at me fast.

What I didn’t expect was how easy it felt to want her.

One kiss blows past every boundary I set. Suddenly, I’m not playing defense anymore—I’m all in, and I don’t know how to pull back. Lexi’s on a honeymoon she’s taking alone, guarding a broken heart she pretends doesn’t still hurt. I’m standing at my own crossroads, unsure where my future leads or if I’m ready to risk wanting something real again.

It was supposed to be a fling. But wanting her is the one thing I can’t seem to control.

For fans of fake dating, opposites attract, and swoony NHL players who actually like to dance, Slapshot Summer is a heartwarming romance with plenty of spice … and, of course, a guaranteed HEA.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Wicked Temptation: The Lost Treasure [The Paladin League 08] by Patti O’Shea!

Excerpt!

   “Archer—my boss—had intel that someone named Fuentes was after the treasure, but couldn’t get more.”

   “So he sent you down and you kicked a hornet’s nest.”

   She jerked her hand free. “I didn’t kick anything.”

   His gut clenched, stupid and instinctive, the words scraping against an old wound he never talked about. He covered his fear with irritation. Anger was cleaner, sharper, easier to control. “And yet you were kidnapped.”

   Io shot to her feet. “I did not kick anything. I hadn’t even done much when I was grabbed. I didn’t realize the words Paladin League were tantamount to waving a red flag and shouting I know where the treasure is.”

   Cal stood and closed the distance. “You were down here for days.”

   “I was working on my article while I got the lay of the land.” She glared at him. “I traveled to San Isidro, interviewed people, took pictures. The only thing I did in Trujillo was visit the convent the day after I returned.”

   “The convent surrounded by men belonging to an arms dealer.” He glared back. “Don’t tell me you didn’t see them.”

   “I saw them.” She crossed her arms. “I figured I’d be tailed. I was. I also figured I could lose them. I did.”

   The cockiness. It made him insane. “They grabbed you and held you prisoner.”

   “They did not. Torres and his men never touched me. They weren’t even that interested in me. It was easy to shake them off my ass.”

   “Maybe too easy. Did you think of that?”

   “Of course I did.” She stepped closer. “I didn’t just look behind me and say oopsie daisy, they lost me. I made sure my tail was clear.”

   “You were compromised.”

   “I was targeted. That’s different.”

   “And that’s supposed to make me feel better?”

   She opened her mouth, shut it, and then shook her head. “I’m too tired to argue. Believe whatever the hell you want.”

He’s always been a protector. She’s strong enough to fight on her own. This time, survival depends on each other.

Special Forces Sgt. Cal “Baggs” Baggnell walked away from Iona Desmond. Carving out his own heart hurt—but watching the woman he loves charge headfirst into danger hurt even more.

Iona loves Cal with her whole being, but she couldn’t change the core of who she is to fit his protective nature. He knew exactly who she was when they met—the need for adventure is in her DNA.

Now, their paths collide in Puerto Jardin, where Iona has talked her way into Cal’s op. And he’s been assigned to work with her.

Their bait: the Lost Treasure of Trujillo. Their target: arms dealer Jorge Torres. Their problem: Torres isn’t the only predator closing in.

With ruthless drug lords, rival treasure hunters, and a powerful Russian mob lieutenant obsessed with finding the billion-dollar fortune, Cal and Iona must put their past aside. The deeper they dig, the deadlier the game becomes.

As betrayals mount and enemies tighten their grip, survival depends on one thing: Trust. If they fail, they won’t just lose their second chance—they’ll lose everything.

When her abusive father is murdered, all fingers point at Calliope, not with sympathy but with blame.

It isn’t until she’s gone that people realize that something strange is happening to their town.

See, Calliope isn’t cursed; she is the curse, and now, the once-prosperous land has withered and decayed in her absence.

By the time the odd child with the haunted eyes returns as a woman ready to embrace her villain era, the town is on the brink of collapse.

She’s a little older now, a little more twisted and far more powerful than before

After all, there was always something different about Calliope Hart

And it’s time to show everyone exactly what she’s capable of.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: The Siren’s Daughter by Claire Fuge!

Excerpt!

   At the edge of the inner courtyard, Angharad released her mother’s hand. Nesta stood alone, scowling up at Étienne on the hail-darkened castle wall, as regal as if the ghosts of her mighty ancestors, the kings of legend who once ruled these lands – Rhys ap Tewdwr, Cadwaladr the blood-bringer, the myth-cloaked Arthur Pen Ddraig of Camelot – were lingering invisible beside her. They would be horror-struck that a lowborn foreigner was shameless enough to call himself their master.

   ‘Mama…’ Angharad murmured.

   Nesta didn’t weaken the contempt of her sneer at the man who was to become her fifth husband. Every eye in the courtyard was fixed upon her.

   ‘Mama!’ Angharad repeated, more loudly. They must submit. They had no choice.

   Nesta’s gaze flickered towards Angharad. Then, she smiled. She glowed, incandescent as if a shaft of blinding sunlight had broken through the hailstorm; as if Étienne was her God-given destiny and she was born to be the gracious lady of this castle; as if she had not schemed, backstabbed and begged for three long years to avoid this moment. A low sigh arose from the captivated folk in the courtyard.

   Nesta held up her hands and called out in her perfect Norman French, Angharad’s native language, ‘Thank you for the warmth of your welcome, sire. Praise Our Lord in His Grace for returning us safely to you. How overjoyed we are to be home!’

   Angharad beamed, too, as brightly as if her life depended on it – which it did.

   And her smile didn’t waver when the Constable nodded his signal, the iron winch strained, the ponderous chains clanged, and the monstrous gates of Aberteifi Castle swung shut behind them.

1126. The Norman conquest grips Wales. Rebellion stirs. And one woman’s choice could ignite it all.

Nineteen-year-old Angharad, the daughter of a Norman knight and a captive Welsh princess, arrives at Aberteifi Castle for her mother’s arranged marriage. But her new stepfather, the merciless Norman commander of the castle, has other plans. He demands that Angharad expose her mother, Nesta, as a secret rebel or be cast out to die.

To survive, Angharad presses Nesta to reveal the truth about her past: as a Welsh princess stolen by invaders, the victim of wars and betrayals, the seductress of kings and princes. As Nesta’s story unfolds, Angharad discovers a legacy more dangerous than she could have imagined, and must decide whether to protect her mother or herself…
