Cover Design: Dar Albert at Wicked Smart Designs
I’ve always been empty. A void where a soul should be. Now, everything is different. Because of her…
Monsters aren’t supposed to have empathy. That’s why I was the perfect mafia enforcer. Cold. Brutal and efficient.
Until I dragged Luna into the dark with me.
Even as my captive, she shined her light into all the scarred, tortured parts of my world, forcing me to realize I might be human after all.
And I hate it.
I have no idea what to do with these emotions. Desires. The overwhelming need I have for her touch, her body, her soul.
I know I can protect her from our mutual enemy. That’s why I kidnapped her in the first place.
But I’m starting to wonder if I’m the one who needs to be saved. Because for the first time in a long time, maybe ever, I think I’m…afraid.
After all, what kind of twisted beast will I become now that my heart—the one I only just realized I have—is in her delicate hands?
His Destiny, the final book in the His Confession trilogy, is a spicy, hot, dark contemporary mafia romance. If you’ve been looking for a sexy, villain-gets-the-girl story, your search is over, because Tristan is the morally grey, scarred and twisted bad boy of your darkest fantasies. Finish reading the trilogy today!
Hi! My name is Angel Rayne and I write dark, delicious romance with antiheroes who would burn down the world to save the woman they love. I never understood why the villains never win the girl, and so I decided to write them their own love stories where they do.
Here are a few other odds and ends about me…
-Music inspires my stories and I make playlists for every book.
-I am not a fast writer. My stories take time to write. They need to brew in my head. To have book releases close together I have to write ahead. But I would much rather take the time the stories need to be the best they can be than try to rush them out. Trust me on this one.
-I love the rain, and I'm happiest when I'm sitting in a coffee shop with my laptop as it storms outside.
-I prefer to go watch movies alone, with one of those fancy coffees hidden in my purse. (Yes, I really do this.)
-My husband calls me his "little bird" because anything that sparkles catches my eye.
-I will never have enough soft blankets. Ever.
-I love ALL THE DRAMA…at least in books.
-I will forever re-watch The Phantom of the Opera with the hope that by some miracle, this time she will choose correctly.
Thank you for reading my stories, and I always love to hear from you! You can reach me at: angel@angelrayne.com

Genre: Mafia Romance
And like Romeo, I destroyed our love when I killed someone near and dear to her heart. Now, it’s been seven years, and I’ve risen to power with no queen to share my throne. Against her will, she’s promised to me because it is her family whose empire needs protection. She hates me. She hates who I was and who I have become. She also hates that my touch still thrills her to the core. Before I make her my bride, she will remember that she was once my Juliet and I, her Romeo. This time, we will live happily ever after. Even if it kills us. Sometimes, only a savage will do. All my life, I refused to be anything like my father, a man who instilled such fear in the women he slept with they hid their secret babies to protect us from him. To say I hate the man is an understatement. So when a sexy, mysterious woman stands on my doorstep claiming to be the new nanny for a child I didn’t know existed… I don’t handle things well. Faced with walking the same path as my father, this woman may be the only person who can save me. She should fear the monster lurking inside me, yet she doesn’t care who I am, that I run a DeLuca empire, or that I’m the savage no one fucks with. Instead, she tempts me beyond reason and puts me in my place without batting an eyelash. I suspect there’s a hidden savage beneath her soulful brown eyes, one worthy enough to stand at my side. And I’ll stop at nothing to make Zakiya Chase mine. Nothing has ever been denied to me. Until now. The one that I want so desperately has bad blood running through his veins. He’s the enemy of my family. The nemesis of my uncle. The uncle that I watched him murder in cold blood. He’s committed to leaving no witnesses behind, so it’s my life or my freedom. Maybe being dead isn’t so bad when compared to becoming the forced prisoner of a mafia assassin whose aim is to break me unless I surrender. NICO I like my kills the way that I like my shoes, polished and refined. I never leave a trail or witness behind. Until her. She’s a spoiled and entitled woman but the only witness I’ve ever allowed to survive. She’s the only one who can lead a trail back to me, a trail that my family and organization can’t afford. She’s the only one that gets to me in a way no other woman has. She’s the only one I want to break, to conquer, and to own. But to do that means to declare war.

Start reading today! FREE in Kindle Unlimited Amazon: https://amzn.to/4aCT4AL Keep reading for a look inside The Bitterness of Venom! Where the fuck are you going, freckles? I walk behind her as she approaches an SUV, climbing in and slamming the door. The plates are out of state, so I take a picture of it before they speed off. Leaning against the side of the apartment building, I watch until the taillights go out of sight. My little freckles is smart. I figured that out by stalking her as she went to each class today. She also has a horrible customer service smile, but somehow made decent tips on a slow night at work. The same bar the guys and I always head to after a win, and sometimes a loss. Her working there should make things…interesting. The only conclusion I can come to is that she’s a sex worker. Why else would she speed off in an SUV this late at night. I ponder this thought as I stalk into her room. If she’s smart, she’d lock her door up. But since she didn’t, I’m going to snoop. I open her top drawer, and like a creep, I pull out a black leather thong. She has no business with this, so I stuff it in my pocket, trying to not think about what a perv it makes me, but at the same time I don’t really care if it does, do I? There is nothing special about the contents of the other drawers. Just clothes. I’m not sure what I expected to find something about her past life, maybe? I throw the door to her closet open. Finding an old, worn boot box. Reaching up, I grab the dusty box, laying it on the bed, before getting distracted by her vanity. It holds mountains of things, but her perfume and stupid velvet choker catch my attention. I stash the choker in my pocket with her thong. She doesn’t need either of them. I bring the small bottle of perfume to my nose, trying not to groan at her seductive smell. I slam the bottle down, hoping it breaks and no one else can ever smell her. I need to get a fucking grip. I fucking hate this girl, but I…Am I attracted to Blaise or to the thought of putting her in danger? I shake the thoughts from my mind, pushing open the lid to the box, which exposes a single Polaroid camera. It looks as if it’s never been touched. I was hoping there would be pictures but there is nothing else. Almost like she has no past at all. But we both know that’s a lie. I head back to my room, not caring if she notices things have been touched and moved, or that I took the camera. Even better is she does, she should lock my ass out. I have no business going in there. I lay down on my new bed, scrolling the newsfeed and making my way over to the sports section. The prediction for our football team is laughable. Even our basketball team isn’t the best. We are a hockey college and town, but sometimes the soccer team gives us a run for our money. I’m scrolling through Instagram when I hear the small click of her door. I pause, listening closely. I expect a shower to turn on or something, but nothing happens. I sneak out of my room and into hers. Her feet are hanging off her bed as if she’s fallen asleep where she lays. Her outfit has changed. Not the work uniform she went out in. No, this is a come-fuck-me dress and stripper heels. And with the way her legs are spread, I can see her small little thong. My dick comes alive even though I don’t fucking want it to. Knowing that she was out fucking someone else makes me irrationally jealous, and yet…. 4 Star Review by LorenaDesmond and Blaise, childhood friends with feelings for each other- from opposite sides of the tracks. Desmond comes from money and Blaise is ... well she's poor but that never seemed to put a damper in their relationship -- until it did. Somehow one day Blaise found herself fleeing away and left Desmond heartbroken. He was so hurt that he vowed that the day he ran into her again he was going to get revenge from her. Years later, they run into each other and to Blaise's surprise, she finds out that she is going to be rooming with three guys and hold and behold -- Desmond is one of them. It doesn't take long for Desmond to give Blaise the little chat that she is to do whatever he pleases if she wants to keep her scholarship and the arrangements starts NOW! But Blaise also has a secret that no one must know about, she is working on the side for a man who she has a debt with and when she disobeys, her debt keeps increasing and she doesn't know how to get rid of him or this debt. How can she find a way to get rid of it? She also has to get away from Desmond before her heart gets broken or she doesn't know what will her life will become. Desmond, on the other hand, thought he was hurting her by using her and degrading and humiliating her, but if anything, he's finding out that he's just finding himself falling more in love with her every single day. What will end up happening with these two and her dilemma? I was engrossed in this story and I loved Desmond and how domineering he was with Blaise. Blaise was soft when she needed to be but was a tough cookie when you pushed her buttons. A quick read that will have you hooked for a few hours of your time!

She has three children, plays tennis, and hates folding laundry. While her husband is no shmoopy romance hero, he is very good at math, cooks a mean lasagne, has gorgeous eyes, looks hot in his business clothes, and makes her laugh every single day. She writes gay romance with heart, humor, and heat!
MOLLY MADDOX
Molly Maddox is the romance pen name for a New York Times bestselling author who started writing at an early age because her older sister, Lucy Lennox, was a writer and Molly wanted to be like Lucy in all ways (she still does).
When she’s not writing, Molly likes to cook, read, take pictures of her dog and cat cuddling, and finds an odd satisfaction in folding sheets so that the top sheet is indistinguishable from the bottom sheet.
She loves all things romance and is grateful every day she gets to write for a living.
BREEZE BRIDGE Grayson Wynne has enough problems in his life: a difficult ex-wife, a new position as the island’s doctor, a young son and no form of childcare; he doesn’t need Clover knocking on his door determined to be his good Samaritan.

She also needs dating lessons, but that’s where Grayson draws the line, one in permanent marker, until Clover has an offer from elsewhere. Then all of a sudden, those straight laces become very very undone…

Hosted By: Title: Wrath: Seven Deadly Sins Mafia Romance Author: Thetta James Genre: Mafia Romance (Lovers to Enemies, and back to Lovers) Release Date: April 30, 2024 “This story will take you on a roller coaster of emotions with scenes that are described in such detail that you may cringe. It’s not everyday you read a story that is so intense your heart palpitates!” - Goodreads Review
Being the princess and heir to the Rinaldi Family Empire was never my plan. My father groomed me despite my need for freedom. His path leads to death and destruction. My path leads to happily ever after.
Falling in love with the prince of the rival family wasn’t part of the plan. He was supposed to be my peace and way out of this life, but it wasn’t meant to be.
The tragic death of my father was the catalyst for the rise of my dark side. The part of me that I wanted to keep hidden.
Relentless, dark, and unforgiving.
My father’s killers have awakened the beast within and in the midst, lies and betrayal are uncovered. Hunting them down is only the beginning. The two paths collide and form a destiny where only their deaths will lead to my happily ever after.
I've enjoyed books for as long as I can remember. Reading allows you to expand your mind and make you say, what if? Six years ago, I became a part of the Book World as a Blogger and The Erotic Book Review was born.
I love reading and listening to all genres, but I'm very drawn to Romance on the kinky side of things. I believe pursuing your passion brings out your creativity and PUCKER NEXT DOOR I should mention that the house next door is full of hockey players. And when I lock eyes on rough and rugged Brodie Stockhausen—who happens to be outside brooding on the porch—I’m not exactly impressed. But I’m desperate, in a bathrobe, and needa bit of rescuing. Soon I’m begging for his help with more than just squirrel duty and DIY projects. I want his attention and his touch--not just his friendship! I want what every girl wants: him lying in his bed at night, so desperate for me that he’s willing to scale two stories to sneak into my window. Hey, a girl can dream… But Brodie has a secret; one that leaves me wanting more every time we’re together but has him pulling away…

Hosted By: If You Loved Me
-- EXCERPT: “Ranger,” she breathed, my name was a prayer on her lips. I let her wrist go and reached down to pick her up. My heartbeat pounded in my ears as she kissed me, opening up fully and dipping her tongue into my mouth. She was so warm and sweet. Her little moans vibrated against my tongue making me want her mouth on another part of me. I settled us on the couch and watched as she leaned back, threading her fingers through my hair. “I love that you have long hair.” “Oh yeah?” I asked before bringing my thumb to her lower lip wondering what it might feel like to run the head of my cock over it. Her tongue darted out between her lips and she took my thumb in her mouth, her cheeks hollowed as she sucked. “Mmhmm,” she mused. “It’ll make it easier to keep your head in place when it’s between my legs.” My cock jolted. I yanked my thumb from her mouth and snagged her bottom lip between my teeth, suckling it with my tongue and lips before letting it go with a pop. When I smacked her ass, she ground her hips into me, another moan slipping out of her mouth. “You won’t have to keep me anywhere, babe. I’ll gladly feast on your sweetness for the rest of my fucking life.” Her lids fluttered, eyes dazed with lust. “But what if I want to be the one to taste you?” Fuck. Me. Grabbing the back of her neck, I brought her closer so I could whisper in her ear, “You wanna taste me?” Tendrils of her hair tickled my cheek as she nodded. “Then let me give my girl what she wants.” I lifted her off me and stood before her. The fear I’d seen in her eyes before was gone. Erased with the heady need we felt for one another and I was thankful for it. This I could do. Watching her eyes trace my body as I unbuckled my belt and undid my jeans. Seeing her in pain had been too much for me to bear. My chest had felt like it was caving in. But this. Just the two of us together. This I could do all fucking night. Hell. All day and night. Her breathing quickened as her eyes darted to where my fingers slid under the edge of my boxers. “You’re sure?” I asked. Those molten eyes looked back up at me. “Yes, I’m sure.” With her permission, I hooked my thumbs into the band of my boxers and pulled them down. My cock was heavy, pulsing upward as she took me in. She swallowed. “I’ve never done this before, Ranger.” Those beautiful eyes I loved so much were wary like I might flee from her admission. What she didn’t know was that I didn’t give a shit about her being experienced. I only wanted her. “We’ll take it slow. Whatever you don’t want to do, just tell me, okay?” She nodded again as I grabbed her hand and sat back down on the couch. “Kneel,” I commanded and I watched as she lowered herself to her knees. “Good girl.” Seeing her kneel between my legs nearly had me seeing stars from how much my dick throbbed. Dark eyelashes fanned over her cheekbones when she looked down at my length.

Title: One Kind Home
Series: One Kind Deed Series
Author: Christine DePetrillo
Genre: Steamy Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Small Town Romance, Second Chance, Forced Proximity, Bodyguard Hero
Release Date: April 25, 2024
It’s Claire Rayhill’s turn. All her siblings have found true love in Maplehaven. Clearly, she’s next. She’s been on a ton of dates since moving to small-town Vermont, but those guys haven’t given her that forever vibe. None of them have made her feel like she did six years ago on her one and only night with Dolan Fairmont. Her brother’s sexy bodyguard shifted her world right off its axis. Then he left. Claire has been spinning ever since, but she’s determined to find a nice guy who wants to make a home with her.
Until Dolan returns with the brick walls around his heart higher than ever. The mere sight of him has insults flying out of Claire’s mouth every time they are in each other’s company. Which is far too often. His singular focus on his job pisses her off, but the way he tracks her with those serious gray-blue eyes does something else entirely.
Dolan isn’t sure his brick walls will hold now that he’s back in Claire’s orbit. The sass that comes out of her mouth doesn’t affect him half as much as what that same mouth did to him six years ago. He’s never forgotten the power of her kiss or the fire of her touch, but his line of work is risky. He knows all too well that putting people he loves in danger is always a mistake. Better to not have Claire at all than to lose her.
When Dolan gets hurt, however, Claire surprises them both by volunteering to help. Will she regret that good deed? Will he?
Is one kind home enough to tear down all the walls around their fragile hearts?
One Kind Home is a second-chance, forced-proximity, small-town, contemporary romance with a bodyguard hero and a boudoir photography stylist who might just be picture perfect together.
Of all the ways she’d pictured spending her thirtieth birthday night, alone hadn’t been one of them.
Christine DePetrillo can often be found hugging trees, conversing with dragonflies, and walking barefoot through sun-warmed soil. She finds joy in listening to the wind, bathing in moonlight, and breathing in the fragrances of things that bloom. If she had her way, the sky would be the only roof over her head.
Her love of nature seeps into every story she tells. As does her obsession with bearded mountain men who build, often smell like sawdust, and know how to cherish the women they love. Today she writes tales meant to make you laugh, maybe make you sweat, and definitely make you believe in the power of love. She lives in Vermont with her husband and many woodland creatures who defend her fiercely from all evils.

My name is Ellie Troy, and my brother, Arden, would kill me if he knew what I was up to. I’m not even kidding.
It involves hot hockey player Nils Sten. He plays for the Atlanta Thunder and happens to be my overprotective brother’s best friend and teammate.
He’s also my secret crush.
Unfortunately for me, Arden wouldn’t approve of anything happening between me and Nils. Not now, not ever.
Too bad, because I’m going to make it happen—Nils will be mine, maybe for just one night of fun, or maybe for forever.
***
My name is Nils Sten, and hockey is my life. So much so that I haven’t had a serious girlfriend in ages. That’s okay; I find companionship when I need it.
And now it seems I’m about to have a whole lot of it. Not in any kind of a romantic sense. More in a roommate sort of way. See, my best friend and teammate’s little sister, Ellie, is about to move into my house. Yeah, under my roof…with a bedroom down the hall from mine.
God help me.
It’s all my fault, really. I opened my big mouth and offered for her to stay. Now I wish I hadn’t. Problem is, Ellie is beyond beautiful. She’s smart too. She’s really everything I’ve ever wanted.
Too bad she’s off-limits.
Now I just need to keep reminding myself of that…
