Book Blitz & Giveaway: Double Trouble for Nick [Cromwell-Hastings 01] by May Wynn!


Excerpt!

   Nathaniel slowly walked over to Abby, knelt down and looked her square in her eyes. His own eyes watery from his frustration, out of love for his brother. He placed his hands firmly on her knees and squeezed lightly, forcing her to meet his eyes. She saw sincerity and emotion in his gaze. It felt eerily like she was looking at Nicholas.
   "When are you going to put my brother first, Abigail?" he asked so quietly you could hear a pin drop.
   She tensed, not knowing what he wanted her to say. A single tear slid down her cheek.
   "It's time," he said, still staring into her eyes. "Here's the deal," he spoke softly. "We have graduation to get through, then studying for LSAT, followed by three grueling years of law school and then brutal prep for the bar. Nick is brilliant, Abby, but he will not make it through everything if he's constantly worried about where he stands with you. He’s human and he’s exhausted his limits with regards to your relationship.” He searched her eyes for understanding.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: The Amalfi Wish [The Lucky Year 01] by Rosie Donlin!


Excerpt!

   The condo was quiet at seven, and the orange was still on the cutting board.
   Laurel McBride had paid four ninety-nine for it at Whole Foods, then left it there for days, sticker still on the peel. She hadn’t eaten it or put it away.
   Outside the sliding door, the courtyard sprinkler was drowning the same azalea again. Laurel caught herself planning what to tell the superintendent, then remembered she wasn’t at Mariner’s Crown. The superintendent could handle the azalea on his own.
   Over Memorial Day, a storm at Mariner’s Crown had stranded six women at the Compass Bar long enough for them to buy a Powerball ticket and make a promise. The ticket had left each of them with fourteen million dollars. The promise had given them a year of places to go together, beginning with Laurel’s month on the Amalfi Coast.
   Six weeks after the money reached her account, Laurel still hadn’t bought herself a thing. She had paid bills, shifted money among accounts, and stared down every question about what came next. Then she’d spent four ninety-nine on an orange and left it on the cutting board like incriminating evidence. Fourteen million dollars, and produce made her nervous.
   She’d been excellent at spending other people’s money. Give Laurel a wedding budget and she could tell you where to save, where to splurge, and which upgrade a bride would remember after the flowers were gone. This money belonged to her rather than a client, free of deadlines and finalized floor plans. It was hers whenever she chose to want something.

Laurel McBride knows how to make other people’s dreams come true. She just has no idea what to do with her own.

As an event planner at a Florida resort, Laurel can rescue beachfront weddings, soothe impossible clients, and solve disasters before anyone notices. But six weeks after she and five other women split an $84 million lottery jackpot, she is still answering emails, fixing everyone else’s problems, and postponing her own life.

So Laurel does something wildly out of character: she walks away from work, crosses the Atlantic, and spends July on the Amalfi Coast with the other winners.

The plan is simple—sunshine, spectacular food, beautiful views, and one glorious month in which nobody needs anything from her.

Then she meets Tore.

With him, Laurel cannot hide behind schedules, competence, or the carefully controlled version of herself who always knows what to do. And as the women settle into their lucky year, Laurel begins to wonder whether the dependable life she built was ever truly hers—or whether being needed has simply kept her from risking what she really wants.

For the first time, Laurel has enough money to choose almost anything.

Now she must decide what would actually make her happy.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Beneath the Burning Sky [The Ashfall Trilogy 01] by Ruby Valladares!


Excerpt!

   So this is what the end of the world looks like.
   The thought ran through David’s mind as he trudged along next to his father and sister, bumping shoulders with hundreds of other desperate survivors who had escaped the wrath of Yellowstone.
   Just fourteen days ago.
   His dad had driven them hundreds of miles before the gas stations ran out of fuel.
   It hadn’t been far enough.
   They’d been walking ever since.
   They’d crossed into Kentucky two days ago, but it didn’t look any different than Wyoming. Any different than Missouri four days before that.
   The fingers of devastation reached here as well. The volcanic eruption had come out of nowhere, shattering the land and blanketing everything in gray.
   Ash rained down from the sky, a silent, relentless shroud that smothered everything in its suffocating grip. The smell of sulfur and smoke lingered in the air, a constant reminder of the chaos and destruction that had been unleashed upon the world.
   David opened his bag and pulled out a granola bar. Three days ago the group had run into a military unit handing out bags of food, urging them to keep going.
   “We’re setting up camps in the south,” they’d said. “We’ll have shelter, food, everything you need until we can get back on our feet.”
   David counted the bars he had left. Five. That was it.
   He dropped the bar back into his bag.
   His feet dragged through the ash like freshly fallen snow, leaving deep imprints behind. The horizon was filled with ruins of buildings and broken trees, the sky a gloomy mix of gray and red as the sun attempted to peek through.
   East. Go east. And then south. Get to Georgia, Alabama, Florida.
   That’s what everyone around him said. Like somewhere magical and untouched by the eruption existed if they just went far enough.
   His home, his entire life, had been taken from him in an instant.
   His mom.
   Don’t think about what you’ve lost.
   Fabric stained with soot and sweat covered his mouth. He trudged on, his mind numb and his body achingly tired.
   Thirteen days of walking.

He never wanted a wife. But marrying her is the only way to keep his little sister alive.

Five years after the world ended, David has one job: keep Grace alive.

Food is rationed. The water is contaminated. Marauders roam beyond the fences. And the Drange is turning ordinary people into violent, purple-veined monsters.

When a deadly infection breaches their refugee camp, the rumored Sanctuary may be her only chance of survival.

There’s just one problem: Passage is reserved for families.

So David makes an impossible choice: he marries his nemesis.

She doesn’t trust him. He doesn’t trust her. Their marriage is supposed to be nothing more than a means of survival.

But once they leave the fences of Camp Orange, surviving each other becomes the least of their problems.

Because the wasteland is hungry.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Naked Brews Series by Christi Snow & Sarah Nego!


A reformed conman and a sarcastic beauty both want the same mountain brewery.
He’s holding lies and she’s barely holding it together.
What could possibly go wrong?

Lake always had a plan. Finish college, move back to Colorado, and run Naked Brews with her dad. Her plan went down the drain when her dad died and left the brewery she called home to her absent maternal figure. Now Lake will have to convince her impossible-to-please mother to sell her the brewery, sweet talk the bank into a loan she can’t afford, and turn her dad’s small town dream into a thriving business.

Walsh thought the plan was simple. Pretend to be his millionaire best friend, buy a failing brewery, and honor their fallen military brother. But simple went down the drain the minute he met the sassy and beautiful brewery manager who clocked him as enemy #1. Now he’s stuck between his growing attraction to the loud-mouth sarcasm factory and knowing he’ll break her heart when he takes her brewery.

Release Day Blitz: Holiday Heir [Cartwright Family 04] by Maggie Cole!


He needs her to save his racehorses. She needs him to never find out about their daughter. But some second chances come wrapped in cowboy boots and mistletoe. Hot. Relentless. Impossible to undo.

Small-town gossip never cost me a thing. Until it convinced the best night of my life that I was somebody else's fiancé.

When a family emergency drags me away before sunrise, I do something I never do. I leave the gorgeous redhead a note on the back of a receipt. But when I return, she's gone.

No explanation. No phone number. No last name. No goodbye.

For eleven months, I search for her. Then, without realizing who she is, I hire her to save my family's racehorses.

Only Lainey's been hiding something far bigger than her phone number.

My daughter.

She thought disappearing was the only way to protect us both. Too bad the town gossip that sent her running was nothing but a lie.

Now I'll do whatever it takes to prove she belongs exactly where she always should have been.

With me.

On the Cartwright ranch.
