Exclusive Excerpt:“Who hired you?”Fran snorted. “Come now, Darren. You and I both know I am not going to answer that.” “You will.” She sighed. “You’re being ridiculous.” “There is nothing wrong with demanding answers.” He waggled the point of his knife at her. She still didn’t flinch. “Are you going to torture me? Is that what you do now? Torment women because your ego is bruised?” “The last time I tortured someone, it was with my tongue, and as I recall, you screamed for more.” A slight flare of her nostrils showed that she remembered what he spoke of. There was no mistaking the slight hint of pink in her cheeks. She never could hide her blushes, especially when aroused. She still wants me, too? Heat flashed through him followed by an instant cold bucket of don’t-fall-for-it-you-idiot. This wasn’t real. “You need to let me go. You don’t know what you’re doing. My surveillance of you was standard industry business. You, of all people, should understand that.” Yes, Darren knew all about espionage, especially that of companies and people. But who was behind it of late? Who kept laying traps and trying to kill the people trained at his academy?

Synopsis:
Truth: From over a thousand miles away, I watched on the screen of my phone as two men murdered my wife. And I was helpless to save her. Consumed by hate and rage, I spent four years running from my memories. Until a shattered woman gave me a reason to stop. Cora lived in a nightmare, but through sheer force of will, she’d turned it into something beautiful. She had a smile that could pierce the darkest soul. And with one glance, she shredded mine. Lie: I was only there for a fresh start. Lie: I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Lie: There was nothing I could do to save her, either. But that’s the thing about lies—you never know who to believe. AVAILABLE NOW:

5 Star Review by AshleyDeep breath. One in. One out. Oh. My. Goodness. The first few pages made me grab my stomach. They were brutal in only the way Aly Martinez can be. And she didn't let up. Oh no. She poured on the pain and heavy in a way that should've made me uncomfortable but somehow didn't. It made me ready fast and furious to see if there was a way out... At the center of everything was Cora. She is a warrior in the truest sense of the word. She fights for everyone, and puts herself dead last. But it's when mysterious and broody Penn ends up in her world, for some reason, she's taking risks she never has. Good gravy, Penn. With his broken heart and need to escape. Except he can't. And when he runs right into Cora with her goodness and selflessness he doesn't know what hit him. But she wasn't part of his plan. And holy geez- as bits and pieces of it are revealed my heart rate kept increasing. In a place where fear rules and hope isn't a part of the vocabulary, Cora and Penn somehow find a way to dream of more. With almost more twists and turns than I could keep up with, The Truth About Lies left me breathless. With a broken yet racing heart. And with hope. Because that ending...holy geez! I'm still not sure which way is up and where things are going next but I am dying to know!

Accepting his hand, he lifted her off the dirty, vile street and whispered a promise, “No good deed comes without payment,” and from that day on, she was destined to pay the ultimate price.
Seeing her for the first time since she’d vanished all those years ago, had only made him realize his obsession never truly ended.
And now, with a promise to keep, he was going to make her disappear again…
this time forever.

Excerpt
My body is spent. I want to feel him release inside of me. I want to collapse on top of him. I want to keep fucking like two animals trying to survive a wilderness that is both beautiful and vicious. Our chests heave in a unison that signals itâs not over, and he starts pumping into meâ¦
Except Iâm not just an animal. I turn my head towards the end table, lean over, and grab his cell phone.
âCall them off.â I shove the phone into his palms. âAll of them. Tell them Iâm not here. That they made a mistake.â
Still pumping into me, he stares at me with widened eyes. âDonât be fucking crazy. Let me walk you out of here and make everyone believe youâve disappeared. At least for a little while.â
Heâs hitting that spot. That warm and sensitive spot that makes me second-guess every decision and every goal Iâve ever made or had. That makes me want to curl up and be swept away and taken care of, even though Iâve never wanted that to be any part of my long-term planâbecause Iâve seen everything my mother has gained and lost by beingâ¦taken care of.
Diego searches my face for a place to reason. âWhat Iâm offeringâ¦theyâre going to catch up to you eventually. And before you catch up to my uncle again. Heâs the second-in-line to a multinational business. You killed one of his men last night. You almost killed him. You think no one noticed? This would give usâ¦a chance,â he pleads.
Although he doesnât say it, itâs the same proposal he made on our trip, except without the ring.
I freeze. Iâd be lying if I said I wasnât tempted. Iâve always been tempted. Heâll never know how many times I ran my finger around the circumference of that diamond band on the nightstand before I drove off, deciding on a different destiny. I knew the moment I stepped in the old Peugeot that Diegoâs ring would forever be imprinted on my finger.
Butâ¦
âI canât.â
My response makes him choke on whatever he was about to say and roar in frustration. Heâs not the type of man to accept defeat.
His fingers fumble on the phone screen. Awkwardly he holds it against his ear, spitting in Spanish as he does what Iâve asked him to do.
He throws the phone and then locks his forearms around my neck, pulling me closer to him. His cock is still stiff, and it throbs inside of me, reminding me of why weâre even in this position.
Cursing, his lips find mine, biting, absorbing, demanding. And I reciprocate. I have never been unwilling. Our tongues tangle as our bodies rock in unison again.

Synopsis From NYT Bestseller Corinne Michaels & USA Today Bestseller Melanie Harlow, comes a second chance standalone romance. Ian Chase broke my heart at seventeen, and I’ve spent the last eighteen years hating him for it. He makes it easy, with his smart mouth and playboy lifestyle—which I unfortunately have to observe since he lives behind me. Every time I see him climbing out of his pool, practically naked and unreasonably sexy, my blood boils. I’ve always loved to loathe him. I never planned to need him. *** London Parish is my little sister’s best friend, not that it stopped me from falling for her. Our history is complicated. The only thing we have in common is being godparents to my sister’s three adorable kids—until our lives are changed in one tragic moment. Now we’re trying to raise the children we love, mourn an unthinkable loss, and fight an undeniable attraction.

I mean, from beginning to end it was just one of those books that you just couldn't put down. London has been in love with her best friend's brother for like EVER. And when he finally pays attention to her and takes her to prom, he basically just made her dreams come true, but then the day after he completely shatters her heart. She may not understand why and when he tried to explain to her years later why he did what he did, she wouldn't give him the time of day. When tragedy strikes and London and Ian have to come together to care for his sister's kids, they clash. They argue all the time and agree to disagree on everything that involves the children. But that chemistry is still simmering between them. It's inevitable and they eventually act up on their feelings. London has never stopped loving Ian and Ian has always harbored his love for her in his heart, but couldn't tell her because she wouldn't talk to him. But as they become close once again and they start sharing future plans, she gets the opportunity of a lifetime and Ian closes off again. Will Ian be satisfied with London staying home with him and the kids and make a future with them or should he push her to take that promotion and move away? This book was so damn fascinating. I wanted to kill Ian at first for what he did to London but when he explained why he did what he did, I understood him. My heart ached for him because he went so many years loving this woman and couldn't have her. It really sucks to have unrequited love, or so that's what it seemed like it was but it was just two stubborn people who wouldn't listen to each other. If they had, they could have been together so much sooner. But this is a top freaking read guys, I mean you'll fall in love with Ian and London in a heartbeat.

I have a bad habit of always being attracted to women who are unavailable. Emotionally unavailable. I don’t know why I do that or what it is. If it’s just as simple as wanting what I can’t have, or some deep-seated bullshit about needing to win because I’m one of five kids from a family that was the town joke. It’s also a protective measure because I’m not parading a bunch of women through my son’s life. I keep it casual. But I could do that with unattached women too, though probably not as easily. So mostly I think it’s just because I’m an asshole. Whatever the reasons, it had gotten me into trouble in the past, and as I watched the rich blonde, Bella Bigelow, stumble up to the bar totally drunk on Friday night, I knew I was doing it again. Chasing trouble. I had met her once before and I had thought she was fucking gorgeous. All long legs and tan skin and juicy tits. A perfect face with a lean nose and plump lips that I wanted to suck on. Her sister was fucking my twin brother. But her sister wasn’t engaged to be married. She was. “What can I get you, Bella?” I asked, leaning on my elbows on the bar top so I would be closer to her. She smelled like a rich girl. All lotions and perfume and expensive clothes. It was amazing to me that someone could smell like money, but she did. Being a bartender in a tourist town on the coast of Maine, I had seen my fair share of rich girls up from Boston. This one shouldn’t be any different. And yet, for some reason she intrigued me. “A vodka cranberry,” she said, sounding a little defiant and more than a little drunk. This was her bachelorette party, and apparently she was taking the last-week-of-freedom crap all very seriously. The first time I had met her she had been sweet and polite. Now she was loud and demanding. “Sure.” I lifted up a glass and poured vodka in it, reminding myself that while I liked unavailable girls, I didn’t like drunk girls. Not in bed anyway. Too sloppy, too limp. I liked naughty girls who dove into misbehaving with their full wits about them. And their mouths open. Drunk girls gave the worst blow jobs. It was a proven fact. “Here you go.” After squirting in the cranberry juice, I slid the glass to her. “Seven bucks.” “Put it on my tab.” She flicked her long hair over her shoulder and turned to go. “You closed out your tab,” I reminded her. “Last round.” She paused and frowned at me. “Then why do you still have my credit card?” “I don’t.” Her platinum express credit card that read Bradley Alexander, presumably belonging to the rich fiancé, had been returned to her at least fifteen minutes earlier. “I gave it back to you.” “No, you didn’t.” Now she just sounded belligerent. “What are you trying to pull? Are you trying to steal my credit card?” That pissed me off. “No. I am not trying to steal your credit card. I gave it back to you. Check your purse.” “I don’t have a purse.” “Well, it had to appear from somewhere,” I drawled, using my typical charming voice, not wanting her to see that inside I was seething. My whole life people had been accusing me of shit just because I was a Jordan brother and my father was a thief and a career criminal. I resented the fucking hell out of it. “Maybe you pulled it out of your tight little ass.” Her jaw dropped. She looked outraged. Yet . . . I knew she found me attractive. I had been noticing her giving me signals all night. She gave me sidelong glances. Her eyelashes batted. She licked her lips. I don’t think she even knew she was doing it, but her body language said she was curious about me. About me in her. She took a huge gulp of her drink then shook her finger at me. “You can’t talk to me like that.” “And you can’t steal that drink,” I said mildly. “Someone has to pay for it, and it’s not going to be me.” “Put it on my tab,” she said. “God, you’re such a local loser.” There are a lot of things she could have said that wouldn’t have bothered me. But that . . . that got under my skin. It was an old wound and she had just dashed salt on it with her pretentious stare and cutting words. She stole the drink, whether she realized it or not. I had to assume she was too drunk to know where her credit card was and I could have let that slide. But once she purposely insulted me, I knew I wasn’t going to do the right thing. Nope. I wanted to fuck her. And I was going to make her want to fuck me. “How about this drink is on me,” I said. “By the way, congratulations on your upcoming marriage. I wish you a very long life of happiness with your groom.” Bella stopped and turned, a troubled look darting across her face briefly. She was wearing a romper with silky straps and a low V-cut in the front. Her hand fluttered over her exposed skin. “Are you making fun of me?” she asked. I shook my head. “No. Just thinking your fiancé is one lucky motherfucker that he gets to make love to you every night.” She looked shocked. And aroused. Her chest was heaving. I could see her nipples through the thin fabric. She saw my eyes drop. But she didn’t say a word. She just clutched her drink and disappeared into the crowd, walking very fast. I smiled as I adjusted my now hard cock behind the bar. I gave it four days before she was willing to fuck me. Five, tops.
