Release Day Blitz: Wrangled [The Wicked West 01] by Candice Wright!


There was always something different about Calliope Hart.

She was an odd child, disliked and scorned—cursed like each of the Hart women that came before her.

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

She doesn’t fight it; anyplace is better than home, even a concrete cell wrapped in iron bars.

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…

Author bio:

I’m passionate about weaving tales of romance and connection, inviting readers into worlds where love conquers all. Crafting heartfelt stories and steamy scenes that make the pulse race, as well as taking readers on swoon-worthy adventures. I try to weave emotions into my stories that punch you in the gut because I love stories that break your heart before putting it back together. I try to write characters who aren't cookie cutters and push myself to write complicated situations that I have no idea how to resolve, forcing me to think outside the box. I strive to create characters who are complex and full of flaws. Deep passion romance between heroes and heroines who find redemption through love.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Burn Her They Said [The Anomalies of Ampara Deicra 01] by Cherish Wright!


In a land where Dragons are revered like Gods, a witch and her guards must risk it all.

Witches in Ampara Deicra are required to use their powers of emotional influence to benefit sorcerers. None so much as Tasch—a witch born during the Anomaly, when environmental changes caused her magic to develop unmatched abilities.

Taken by the Emperor to manage his mood, she has served by his side since early childhood. Granted the title of Imperial Grand Witch, she is protected by the strongest sorcerers in each form of magic—all Anomalies, like her—with powers beyond any before or after them.

Until a sorcerer named Varic develops abilities surpassing Tasch’s Lead Guard. A fact which the Emperor denies by hiding Varic within the Imperial Army.

Where Varic is made to grow his strength past the point he can contain it, and requires Tasch’s magic to overcome the grief of his magic causing the worst known catastrophe. They fall in love in their time together—and forge a connection which is highly forbidden.

Over time Tasch’s powers fade, rather than strengthen, while the Emperor’s greed escalates the need for resources among bordering lands, who increase their attacks on the Imperial Palace. Fearing the worst, Emperor Aldritch assigns Varic to oversee Tasch’s detail, placing the two beings who must hide their feelings mere inches from each other.

With the highest stakes they’ve ever encountered, can Tasch’s Guards save her and the citizens, with the help of their bonded Dragons?

For fans of Anathema, Dragonfall, and A Discovery of Witches comes the tale of a burnt-out witch in her thirties who is trying to survive long enough to save the citizens from their power-hungry Emperor, with the help of her Guards and the Dragons they share a bond.

Release Day Blitz: Tethered By The Sea [Saltbone Sinners MC 01] by India R. Adams & Nikki Landis!


While raised in the shadow of a motorcycle club, Maddox was unaware that a boundless oath protected him. But on his tenth birthday, tragedy tore his world apart when gunfire erupted and a disastrous accident took place on a bridge, sending Maddox over the edge and into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.

He should have died.

Instead, something in the water saved him.

Now without his protectors, Maddox spends the rest of his childhood running from his past and into a newfound family that he never saw coming. Even though they hold the broken pieces together with the tender thread of healing, none of that stops the ancient hold that followed him from the Atlantic.

Maddox’s grief hardens him into a dangerous, scorned young man who continues to be tethered to a mystical presence waiting beneath the tide.

His past refuses to stay buried because the ocean never truly let him go.

And neither did she.
