Cover Reveal & Giveaway: Savage [Rosewood High 03] by Tracy Lorraine!



I had the life most guys only dreamed about: the house, the parties, the girls... until one girl showed up and ruined it all.

She doesn’t belong here. Not in the bedroom across the hall. Not in my house. Not in my town. And certainly not in my life.

It wasn’t really her fault... or mine.

We were caught up in the sins of our parents.

She thinks she’s strong, but she doesn’t have a clue as to what I’m capable of.

My name is SAVAGE after all.

I will break her...

But uncovering her secrets just might destroy me.

We're ready to die for the sins of our fathers, but is she?

No one, except one girl.
Trinity Malone doesn't know about our past.
She doesn't have a say in our future.
At least, so we thought.

There, amongst the craft beer and pork rinds, she comes face to face with her high school boyfriend, Brennan McLean. He’s a rockstar. She’s a nurse. To say life led them in different directions would be putting it mildly. Still, time hasn’t lessened the electric chemistry between them.

Convincing herself she could have fun without getting attached, Natalie treats herself to a weekend tangled in the sheets with him. But that lie she told herself pops faster than champagne bubbles.

From International Bestselling Author, Nicole S. Goodin, comes a sexy new standalone novel.

Ky Bateman made no secret of the fact he wanted me, and I made it clear he drove me crazy.
When my resolve finally wavered, we made a bet. I lost, he won, and I found myself on the back of his motorcycle, on the adventure of a lifetime.
I never intended to fall for the master manipulator, especially when I knew I was keeping secrets that could destroy everything between us.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Dear Future Ex-wife by Jillian Quinn!


Excerpt!

   “Hey, you think I want to get married? That’s the last thing I want to do.”
   Harley glares at me. “Happy to hear we’re on the same page because this wedding isn’t happening.”
   I close the distance between us, our mouths inches apart. “It needs to happen.”
   “I don’t have to do anything.” She shoves me out of the way and moves in front of the sink, her eyes fixed on me in the mirror. “You dug your own grave, and you should have to lie in it.”
   “I know.” I reach out, seeking her warmth. “I’m sorry.”
   She swats my hand away. “Don’t touch me, Nate. We’re not friends anymore.”
   “I could be your friend again. We can do this, Harley.” I move behind her, leaning forward to press my palms to the counter, caging her against the sink. Harley breathes loudly when I inch my lips closer to her ear. “We can turn this into a game, like old times. You can be Harley Quinn, and I’ll be your Joker.”
   She laughs. “You’re a joker, alright.”
   “Okay, fine. I deserve that.” A beat passes. “We were good at pretending to be other people. A fake wedding will be a breeze for us.”
   “We can’t get married,” she shoots back. “Even if I agreed to do it, no one would believe you’re in a relationship, let alone getting married. Not after all of the whoring around you’ve done this past year alone.”
   “I’m not that bad,” I counter.
   She snorts. “Please, Nate. If you want me to work with you, then don’t bullshit me.”
   “We can make people believe this is real. You want to hate me, but I know you don’t.”
   Harley rolls her eyes. “Think about how this will make me look, like I’m some doormat that you wipe your feet on after you’re done screwing other women. No, thank you. If I’m going to marry someone, it will be real. It will be special.”
   “You can have anything you want,” I say, not above begging. “I don’t care what it takes.”
   Harley looks down at the counter and sighs. “Nate, I want a real wedding. I want bridesmaids, flowers, the perfect engagement ring, a six-layer cake, the wedding gown I designed. And most of all,” she says, staring into my eyes. “I want to marry a man who loves me so much that he would dance with me under the stars, make love to me on the beach, and then whisper in my ear that he loves me. That he wants to spend the rest of his life with me. I want it to be real.”
   And I can’t lose you.

I, Harley McQueen, do not take Nathan King to be my husband…

I wish I could say no to this wedding. But to save our fathers’ company, my ex-best friend needs a fake bride to bail him out of his latest scandal.

Nate has a reputation with women.
I want the promotion my father has denied me for years.

Together, maybe we can make this fake marriage work.

As long as I don’t fall in love with him…

Again.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Who Will Save Your Soul by Skye Warren!


Excerpt!

   My scream echoes throughout the entire house. I scream until my voice is hoarse. Until my ears are ringing. Until I’m sure even the most unconcerned parent will come, at least to make sure I stop. One minutes passes. Two. My voice turns hoarse.
   The lock turns with a soft click.
   I’m sitting on my bed when Mom opens the door. It’s enough to make me start, because I didn’t expect her to be home. It’s only been an hour since Daddy locked me in my room.
   Her hair is up in a beautiful arrangement, her gown long. She looks beautiful. There’s a necklace of diamonds glittering around her neck, and it makes me wonder if they pulled out some of the black-market diamonds to make wear. Or if maybe she would consider that beneath her. Those diamonds are good enough to sell, good enough to use to purchase proper diamonds from the jewelry store.
   “Emily,” she says, her voice sharp. “Why on earth are you making that racket?”
   “Because something’s going to happen.”
   Though I’m less and less sure about what that something will be. Dad’s down in the parlor with his gun on the coffee table, a one-man army defending his stash of diamonds. His paranoia has kept him safe from consequences all these years. What’s to say it will stop working now? But there’s no time for a new plan. Only improvisation.
   Because that scream will bring more than an exasperated parent.
   It will bring Niko.


Features four novellas by New York Times bestselling author Skye Warren. Each standalone story ends in a happily ever after.

WHO WILL SAVE YOUR SOUL

Emily's a pathological liar. When her life is at stake, will anyone believe her?

MAFIA CINDERELLA

One dress. One dance. Lucia has one chance to change her life--and the lives of her family.

BEDTIME STORY

Jessica is on the run when her car breaks down. A small town sheriff can't be her knight in shining armor.

HEAVY EQUIPMENT

Release Day Blitz & Giveaway: Keep the Beat by Kata Ĉuić!


Sophia Reston has never been bothered by the term band geek. The definition of geek is an enthusiast or expert in a particular field or activity. She loves marching band with all her heart, so the term is appropriate. Of course, one of the lesser known definitions of a geek is a carnival performer who is often billed as a wild man and whose act typically includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake. This definition also seems accurate since there is one snake Sophia fantasizes about maiming in the most deliciously torturous ways—her archnemesis, James Fossoway.

He has a stupid nickname, stupidly attractive muscles, a reputation for sleeping around, and he is a fellow band geek. Unfortunately for Sophia, he’s also an enthusiast of pushing all her buttons—and not in a good way.

When their rivalry leads to one final showdown during the competition for head drum major, the entire band is invested in the outcome. And James has some new tricks up his sleeve to win the last battle they’ll ever wage against each other.

Because, after years of pranks, James isn’t out for revenge. He wants Sophia’s heart.

Or maybe it’s just another dumb challenge.

Blog Tour & Giveaway: Wild Love [Brewing Love 03] by Meg Benjamin!


Excerpt!

   Liam leaned back in his chair, considering. “In fact, I’ll make you a deal, Brooks. We’re opening the brewpub this spring—maybe March, but most likely April. I’ll give you until then to make a brew we can serve at the pub. Something we don’t already have, that people will want to buy. Something new and good, in other words. If you can do that, I’ll withdraw any objections to your coming back here full time. If you can’t, you’ll agree to pull out. That gives you around four months to show you’ve got talent as a brewer. If you can’t do it, you’ll leave us in peace.”
   Colin managed the ghost of a smile. “Okay. Fair enough. I’ll need a brew setup.”
   “You can have my old home brewing outfit.” Liam’s lips spread in a mirthless smile. “You should remember it. It’s what we used to use.”
   He did remember it. He and Liam had done enough experimental runs on the thing, back before he became the enemy. “That’ll work.”
   “I don’t like this,” Bec snapped. “I don’t like anything about it. Why does he get to make beer for the brewpub opening?”
   “It’ll work, sis.” Liam sounded much more rational now. “If he’s as good as he thinks he is, he’ll come up with a beer we can use. And he has four months to do it. But he doesn’t work with us, and we don’t have to see him every day. And if he blows it, he’s gone.”
   Colin kept his expression blank. That’s okay. Talk among yourselves. At this point he didn’t much care how he got what he needed as long as he got it.
   Bec pushed herself to her feet, giving Colin another of those laser-eyed stares. “All right. You win. You don’t deserve it, and you should be embarrassed about coming back like this, but you win. And I don’t want to see you. I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t want to be around you. You stay in your place and I’ll stay in mine. I’m done, Colin. I’m absolutely done with you.” She turned on her heel and headed back through the side door, slamming it behind her.
   Colin sat still, staring down at his hands. Would she feel better if she knew he really was embarrassed, even ashamed? Probably not. But he’d learned to work through shame, just like he’d learned to work through misery. Devin was gone, his family was gone. And this was all he had left. He’d hold onto it with both hands, even if it hurt like hell.


After one bad relationship too many, Peaches Guidry came to the mountain resort town of Antero, Colorado to start over. Now, she’s manager of a great restaurant and on her way to bigger and better things without anyone complicating her life. The upcoming grand opening of the local brewery’s new pub is the perfect opportunity to introduce more customers to her menu. A partnership with Antero Brewing could bring her business to a whole new level.

But then Colin Brooks strolls into town. Rugged, yet charismatic. The bad boy with a heart of gold—the kind of man she can’t resist.

Her friends at the brewpub, though, are quick to tell her Colin isn’t exactly new in town. He’s the black sheep of Antero and disappeared years ago without a word. Now he’s back and hoping to prove he’s changed, but the welcome they give him is harsher than the winter winds.

She knows she shouldn’t be falling for someone that everyone says can’t be trusted. And getting tangled up in his wild past could ruin the future of everything she’s worked so hard to build… So why can’t they stay away from each other?
