Release Day Blitz & Giveaway: Truth in Freedom [Truth & Lies Duet 02] by Maggie Kay!


Olivia
Cole set me free, I am learning to live and breathe without him, but I still feel him all around me. He doesn’t understand that without him, I will always be trapped as a prisoner to my own heart.
I am trying to move on and be happy, the music academy is everything I dreamed it would be and more, but I can feel someone watching me. I have this nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach, something bad is about to happen, and there is nothing I can do to stop it.

Cole

Olivia is gone. I feel the loss of her everywhere. My heart aches to have her back but my vengeance has taken over me. I will not rest until all those who hurt Olivia have paid the price.
Revenge is sweet, but the bitter sting it leaves in its wake stirs my restless heart.
If Olivia finds out what I have done will she ever want to come back to me? Everything is so messed up I can’t tell where the lies end and the truth begins.

Truth in Freedom is the second book in the Truth & Lies Duet and must be read after Truth in Lies, book one to follow the storyline.

“The truth in my freedom is written on my soul,” Olivia

Release Day Blitz & Giveaway: Heartburn [Love by Design 03] by M.C. Cerny!


Whittaker Jones could have funded the Interior Department’s conservation budget with his own pinup calendar.

The last thing this sexy forest ranger wanted was to go on a search and rescue mission for a stubborn college co-ed throwing a temper tantrum. He’s got a hot date manning his front porch like a grumpy old man in his rocker with a carton of take-out for dinner.

Amelia Rae Faust hates the outdoors, man buns, and lying, crush stealing roommates.

A hike in the woods turned into an existential vision quest for the girl without a plan. She wasn’t supposed to get lost, or have a one night stand with the surly forest ranger. His body heat is far too tempting and a night of survival becomes something more.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Offsides [Saints and Sinners 03] by Eden Butler!



Gia Jilani had rules.

They kept her safe and her head in the game.

As the NFL’s first female general manager, there were risks to be weighed and taken.

Like Kai Pukui, the linebacker helping her team dominate on the field.

The same quiet, beautiful man who stares too long at her and reminds her of how decadent, and risky living life can be.

But when Gia discovers why Kai seems so familiar and why she feels so drawn to him, things like risks and love become secondary to loss and pain.

Gia will have to decide what’s more important – a life worth risking or a love worth losing.

Release Day Blitz: Famous [The Power of Three Love 03] by Leigh Lennon!


Cami
Who knew I would love to be with two men at the same time?

Bringing a third into our happy marriage, opened a whole new world of pleasure for Dane and me. But when our partner walked away, we quickly found ourselves craving what felt like a missing piece.

Insert Miles, a cocky actor with a healthy fear of commitment.

One night in return for seven dates. No further strings attached.

If this wasn't a recipe for disaster…

Dane

I would give Cami everything. Would I be able to give us both what we really needed?

I loved my wife more than anything, but the famous actor who kept appearing everywhere we were? He quickly turned out to be my kryptonite.

Miles immediately saw Cami for the true gem she was. And gave in to my needs.

Could we convince him to give in to the power between the three of us?

Miles
I was built to be alone.

After a loss so deep it left me a shell of a man, I refused to give in to my desire for a forever. I had one and dones and I never stayed around for a second date.

Especially in the harsh world that wasn’t ready for a relationship between three people.

Yet, the moment I met the sexy lawyer and his drop-dead gorgeous wife, I knew it was going to be impossible to walk away.

Release Day Blitz & Giveaway: Break You [Boys of Trinity Hall 01] by MV Ellis!


Xavier
This is not a love story.
I hate you not for who you are, but what you represent.
I’m the whispers in the darkness you can’t quite hear.
I’m the unease that can’t be explained, but won’t go away.
I’m your worst nightmare come to life.
I’m the filthy rich guy who’s coming for revenge.
Everything you’ve ever had.
Everything you hold dear.
I won’t stop until I break you.

Rocky
You were once my savior.
Now you’re my bully.

No match for your money, your might, or your wrath.

When I go, I’ll take you with me.
Because we’re more alike than you want to admit.
And more connected than you know.

Release Day Blitz & Giveaway: Dirty Secret [Slayers Hockey 01] by Mira Lyn Kelly!


In my defense, I didn’t know she was his sister…

"Sexy and fun with a delicious hockey hero, DIRTY SECRET is great for fans of Elle Kennedy, Toni Aleo, and Sawyer Bennett. I devoured this book!" -NYTimes Bestseller Lexi Ryan

This team hates me. Something about my chronic case of resting prick face and that thing with the captain when the season started.

My fist, his jaw. Yeah, we go back and not in a good way.

Coach says no more “confrontational BS” or I don’t play at all. And that’s a hit my career in the NHL can’t take.

So the plan is simple. Keep my head down and finish out my contract with my fists checked.

There’s just one problem.

Allie. The girl from Vancouver eight months ago. The one with the sexy, shy, and sinfully bold smile and the sweetest, wettest mouth I ever tasted. The girl who blew my mind and then blew out of my life without giving me her number.

Turns out she’s the captain’s little sister.

And even though my career depends on it... I can’t stay away from her.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Amber Sky by Cassia Leo!


Excerpt!

   The door to Walker’s bedroom is wide open. As I approach, I try to think of what I’ll say when I wake him. But when I arrive at the threshold, I find him awake, sitting on the windowsill, gazing out at the night sky. He’s wearing nothing but a pair of jeans, and his dark hair is wild, as if he’d been tossing and turning before he got up.
   I enter without announcing my presence, but a creaky floorboard does it for me. Walker turns his head slowly to watch me approach. He doesn’t seem surprised to see me in his bedroom.
   I stand next to him and look out the window to see what he’s gazing at. The sky is pitch black and studded with twinkling stars of various sizes and colors. It’s not a city night sky, muted by light pollution. It’s a brilliant, shimmering cloak wrapped around the world, beckoning us to embrace the night.
   When I turn away from the window, Walker is staring at me, a new quiet confidence in his eyes. The moonlight paints silvery streaks over his cheekbones, collarbone, and pectoral muscles. He looks beautiful enough to paint.
   Taking a cue from the look in his eyes, I turn toward him to let him see all of me. His gaze skims over every inch of my body, stopping for a while on my breasts. Taking a step forward, I take his hand in mine and hold it for a moment. When his eyes look up to meet mine, I lay his hand on my chest, so he can feel my heartbeat.
   The corners of his mouth turn up at the sensation of my pulse pounding against his fingertips. “You are real.”

From New York Times bestselling author Cassia Leo comes a new stand-alone novel, Amber Sky, the haunting, atmospheric love story of Walker Ainsley and Cassidy O’Connor.

A devastating car crash leaves Cassidy O’Connor stranded in rural Pennsylvania. Her only company is Walker Ainsley, the ruggedly handsome man who saved her from the wreckage and took her into his home. But when her ride back to town arrives after the crash, Cassidy can’t bring herself to leave Walker behind. She is determined to convince him to go back to town with her, until she begins to wonder if she actually survived the crash that brought them together.
