Title: Forced to SinAuthor: Brittani MariGenre: Dark RomanceAbout FORCED TO SIN:Clint Marino wasn’t the definition of a perfect catch. He was damaged, cruel…and carried the reputation of being many people’s worst nightmare. So how had he come into my life? Simple. I was a job he needed to complete. But somewhere along the way, things became disjointed, confused. I found myself holding onto him instead of running away. Did that make me naïve? More than likely. But after learning his weakness, I wanted to fix it. Seeing the blatant pain he tried to hide, I had an overwhelming desire to help. I soon became enthralled, addicted to his broken pieces, blind to the storm headed our way. When it hit, its impact was devastating, leaving me gasping for air…

Marino’s face hardened, unamused. He turned to me again, holding out his hand. “Can I have this dance?”
I nodded, not wanting to piss him off. I placed my hand in his, allowing Marino to pull me away. He dragged me against him. He didn’t speak for the first few minutes as he expertly guided me around the dance floor. I thought we would dance in silence the entire time before he finally spoke. “You looked like you needed an escape. I know Heath Colbert can get under anyone’s skin. Bore people into an early grave.” I smirked. He was right, but I didn’t confirm it. Heath was my future, and strangely enough, even with him and my father plotting behind my back, he was more than I expected. My independence would be gone, but I heard of women who had endured worse. At least Heath was…tolerable. “He’s actually a gentleman.” Marino laughed. It was harsh, laced with ice and disapproval as he glanced around. “There are no gentlemen in here, Valerie.” He swept his arm in an arc around the room, unashamed at pointing fingers. All he received in return were frowns, gasps, downward glances. “This room is filled with corruption, liars…killers.” I knew he referenced himself, unashamed. He wore it proudly, like a badge. “Some just hide it better than others. Every person in here is far from gentle. Don’t be so naïve.” We continued to dance. One song turned into the next. I glanced over at the corner. My father glowered, Heath stared at us curiously, and my mother accepted more wine. Once we started dancing, there was a shift in the room. Everyone tiptoed around, whispered, acted worried. Who was this man? How did he know so much about a world many thought was protected? He talked like he knew everybody’s secrets and had the means to destroy them. “How long?” I whispered like it was a secret. But he didn’t have to hide. He wore no mask. He walked around openly, daring anybody to approach. It seemed too many feared him to do so. “How long what?” He almost dared me to say it. As it slipped off my tongue, it didn’t feel as dirty as I imagined. “How long have you killed?” He looked around, thinking, then suddenly pulled me closer, plastering my body against his. I gasped as his lips brushed my ear. “Years. A decade…,” he replied roughly. “It all runs together.” I didn’t move, his warm breath caressing my ear, his firm grip holding my waist. He’d just told me he’d been killing for a decade, and my panties were soaked, nipples erect. I was too turned on to step away. I felt every muscle through his suit, felt the length of him against me. In a room full of people, my senses made me feel like we were alone. I swallowed. “A decade?” I choked out. He loosened his grip and pulled back, studying me. He saw how he affected me. The flutter of my lashes. My body heating. He frowned, stepping back, his eyes zeroing in on a figure behind me. The connection between us lost just as quickly as it began. Then I remembered. He was a killer. Was he working? His face had hardened, muscle in his jaw twitching slightly. I knew the answer. Despite his expensive clothes, someone was going to die.

Title: Beefcakes
Author: Katana Collins
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 24, 2020
Blurb
I might as well permanently add the label "Ex" to my name. I'm an Ex-Mr. Universe. Ex-Mr. Olympus. An Ex-Hollywood Stuntman. But no one from my small hometown cares anything about that. They only care that I'm the ex-boyfriend to the beloved Mayor's daughter, Elaina Dyker.
And now, ten years later, I'm back, helping my siblings run my mother's bakery while she takes on chemo. What should have been a routine cupcake delivery turns into utter chaos when the bachelorette party thinks I'm a stripper. And what's worse? Elaina is the maid of honor.
But the meme about us sure went viral fast. My small hometown has become positively infested with tipsy bridesmaids looking for my erotic cupcakes.
Now Hollywood's knocking again--and this time they want me and my ex, Mr. Beefcake, and Ms. Prude, to star in a reality show.
It could solve all my problemsâexcept her.

How to make a Thin Mint Cocktail
with Katana Collins
Author Bio
I love coffee.
As an author and a story-teller, it is the lifeblood to which my ideas take flight. And I believe in giving credit where credit is due. Occasionally someone (ie â my husband) will try to secretly switch out my beloved regular coffee for decaf. I always know the difference. ALWAYS (Iâm looking at you, SEAN).
I am incapable of achieving the perfect ponytail. Iâm dyslexic. I can never wear white without spilling on myself. And Iâve never read Pride and Prejudice (gasp!).
When I was younger and stole my motherâs Harlequins to read beneath the covers with a flashlight (seriously, did we ALL do this? I think we did.), I wanted to read about the tough as nails heroine. The perfectly imperfect girl with quirks and attitude and sass. And the anti-heroes who were anything but âPrince Charming.â Forget the knight on a white horse⦠give me the bad boy on a motorcycle.
So, now, I write those romance novels I craved to see on the shelves all those years agoâthe sassy heroines. The badass heroes. I spend my days in the throes of my imagination and am loving every minute of it. I can travel anywhere and become anyone I want to be. One day, Iâm a mechanic in Boston and the next, Iâm a vampire stripping in Las Vegas.
Since penning my first novel back in 2012, Iâm now an international author with 15 published books, in a wide range of contemporary romance genresâ(Paranormal, New Adult, Small town, Erotic Suspense⦠you name it!).
After living for a decade in Brooklyn, NY, I took the plunge and moved to beautiful (although kinda chilly) Portland, Maine. I now live full time in âVacationlandâ with a kind of mean cat, a mellow chihuahua, and a very NOT mellow lab-pittie mix. Oh, yeah⦠thereâs a husband who draws comics somewhere in that mix, too.
I can usually be found in a coffee shop with my nose in my laptop wearing fabulous (albeit sometimes impractical) shoes.
I love connecting with readers and fellow sassy storytellers, so feel free to drop me an email at katana.collins@gmail.com or connect with me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (@katanacollins). You can find a list of my available books over on my Bookshelf or if youâve already read a book, it would make my day if you wrote a review!

Dear diary,
Once upon a timeâ¦
There was a girl with long golden hair who had the truest, bluest eyes that turned white when she cried.
She lived in a kingdom far, far away in a tower made of stone, but her mind was made of glass that she kept sharp as knives.
Where her memories hid behind her darkest doubts.
Her deepest thoughts.
Her diary became the only thing she could rely on.
No one saw through her looking glass.
No one cared.
No one tried.
Until the villain presented himself as the hero in her life.
He took and took and took some more.
With no regret.
With no shame.
With no apology.
The page never turned.
Their story didnât end.
Tomorrow never came.
His life of debauchery was their journey to nowhere.
Sheâd give anything to go back in time.
To walk where she had walked.
To see what she had seen.
One step.
One breath.
One day at a time.
Though in the end, âI love youâ were just words.
That destroyed us inside.

I think the part that’s not getting through to you is how very much I like all the other parts. I like what’s in here,” he said, stretching across her to tap her forehead with his index finger, “And I like doing the things here,” he said, sweeping his thumb across her lips, “that involve talking.” He traveled down her chest, tracing a line between her breasts, and landing on her heart. “I also like the things I’m seeing in here.” -- Laurelin Paige, Dirty Sexy Player “I looked at the windows past him, trying to distract myself. Lights flashed and swirled around the dance floor in time to the beat, the only part of the music which made it into the sanctuary of the bubble room. I could tell it was crowded, but I couldn’t make out faces the way they could probably make out ours. “I don’t know if anyone’s looking,” I said. “Don’t worry about them. Just focus on what you’re doing.” Easy for him to say. He wasn’t facing them. He was only looking at me. Nope. I couldn’t think about that either. Just had to focus on the task at hand. I closed my eyes. “So just pretend that I… That we are… That under my dress…” I couldn’t even say it. Weston leaned forward and murmured near my ear. “Yes, pretend that under your dress you are not wearing any panties. I have my dick out. I’m working you, and you are showing me exactly how you like it. Now go.” Just like that, my panties were damp. GIVEAWAY!

Screwed and Satisfied
-- EXCERPT: Brennah stared down at the big, muscled, tattooed cowboy passed out in her barn. His black hair and the blacker five o’clock shadow coating his jaw gave him a dangerous air. Speaking of air, she could use some fresher variety. Manure was a treat compared to this guy, who smelled like he’d soaked himself in alcohol and hadn’t bathed since the time of pirates. Setting a hand on one hip, she contemplated calling the Stokes sheriff to come get him. She didn’t have time to spend on a drunkard—she had animals to tend to before her real day of work started at her veterinary practice. Without looking, she knew her schedule was jam-packed all morning. She’d eat lunch in her vehicle on the way to some ranch calls to see to livestock and then return late in the day to her clinic to treat more dogs, cats, iguanas, and whatever ailing animal came through her door. Looking at the man curled on his side, she couldn’t help but think she recognized him. His angled jaw and the breadth of his shoulders seemed mighty familiar. Sometime in his sleep, his Stetson had toppled off and lay a few feet away. The deep, heavy sleep spoke of one hell of a hangover to come. Feeling a little on the evil side today, she clapped her hands loudly. “Hey! Get up! Hello!” He moaned and rolled onto his back, giving her a good view of his big, hard body sprawled on her barn floor. The horses were restless in their stalls, eager for their breakfasts, and in the big corner pen, several llamas pawed the floor to show they wanted out to roam the fields too. Brennah nudged the cowboy’s foot with her own boot. “Hey! You’re trespassing! Wake up!” No matter how loud she yelled, she didn’t get even a flicker of an eyelid in response. Storming outside, she looked around for a bucket. She located one and filled it with water—cold mountain water from the spring-fed well—and carried the bucket back in. One heave of the bucket and water hit the guy square in the face and chest. “What? Wha—” He shook his head, but didn’t get up. In fact, he went back to snoring, mouth open. Brennah stared at him in shock. His blood must be 100-proof if that didn’t do the trick. “All right. You asked for it.” Her last resort lay in the midsized tractor she used to haul hay bales to her animals. Quickly, she walked outside and climbed into the tractor seat. She started the engine and backed to the open double barn doors. A glance over her shoulder revealed that the guy hadn’t stirred even at the sound of the loud engine. She set the brake and then leaped to the ground again. After locating a rope, she hitched it to the back. Then she looped the other end around the man’s ankles. To do this, she had to move each of his spread legs, which weighed as much as tree trunks. She’d seen drunk people sleep this heavily before, and the behavior always scared her. But her annoyance outweighed any butterflies in her stomach that the guy would wake and come up swinging. Once she had the rope around his booted feet, she stood back to look at him. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. But he was big and heavy, and she had no choice but to drag him out of her barn. With a shake of her head, she returned to the tractor. Another backward glance and she saw he hadn’t budged. She put the tractor in gear and rolled forward. The guy bumped along the wooden floorboards. As his body crossed the threshold, she swore she heard a groan from him. Looking back again, she watched his head bump over the lip of the doors and onto the patchy grass outside. She towed him across the bumpy earth to the water trough and cut the engine. Jeez, this guy was really out for the count, wasn’t he? When she climbed down, she spotted a small leather object along the trail that had been cut into the dirt by his heavy body. His wallet—and presumably he carried an ID. Though the feeling she recognized him burned strong, she didn’t know the guy’s identity. She gave him a wide berth in case he woke suddenly and made a grab for her. Then she’d have no choice but to brain him with a shovel. She walked over to pick up the wallet that had fallen out of his pocket. Propriety told her not to open the bifold and look, but she had to identify the guy, right? She flipped it open and stared at the Colorado driver’s license—expired with a picture of a younger man. She groaned. No wonder she recognized him—Dane Moon. Her mind waged a war with her younger alter-ego. In high school, she would have done just about anything to have Dane throw one of his gorgeous crooked smiles her direction, and he never gave her the time of day. He could only be described as rough around the edges, with a look about him every girl in Stokes High wanted a piece of. Heck, Brennah had her fair share of fantasies involving Dane Moon.
