Savage Passion
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- EXCERPT: Cassie… Leaning against the bar is a man. A very sexy, very muscular, very dangerous looking man. Dark, shoulder length hair. Icy blue eyes. Jeans with a bulging crotch. Black T-shirt that stretches deliciously across his shoulders and chest. My heart races at the sight of him, but more so because he’s staring right at me. But then I notice he’s also wearing a goddman kutte covered with the Savage Bloods insignia. Because of course he’s part of the club. A beer bottle is pinched between his fingers, and he’s standing there like he owns this place. Cocky arrogance radiates off him, and he clearly owns that. He’s 100 percent pure male. Pure trouble. And one million percent not my type of guy. Yet, I can’t seem to stop staring at him. He’s everything Ryan isn’t, and that excites me in a way I don’t like. I don’t look away, and neither does he. There’s something familiar about him, though, and I narrow my eyes, studying him. Do I know him? That wouldn’t be so far-fetched considering I’ve met everyone in the Savage Bloods at least once before. Still, something nags at the back of my mind. “He’s staring at you,” Becca shouts over the music, jerking me from my thoughts. “You should go talk to him.” “No.” I shake my head. Turning away from his heated stare, I focus on dancing with Becca, but I can feel his gaze on me, feel the way he’s undressing me with his eyes, devouring me. Maybe Becca’s right. Maybe I need to take the plunge and go talk to him. Doing so will certainly get my mind off Ryan. But damn… I’m not sure I can handle a guy like that. He’s so hard and rough and a tad scary. Not to mention, he’s part of the club, and I swore never to get involved with that life. Just because I’m nursing a broken heart doesn’t mean I need to go catch a raging case of the stupids. And that man could make any woman stupid.

The Helping Heart
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- EXCERPT: “Time to burn some of those calories,” Helen called out. “Let’s get going.” Evie cast her a curious gaze. “Is there something we’re hurrying for? You should let us know, Helen.” She narrowed her eyes. “We need to get going. We’re like sitting ducks here.” Rett laughed. “We’re nobody’s target. We started early, we already did the tidal crossings, so we are not worried about tides right now, and we have time to take a break if somebody is vomiting. Really.” Helen shook her head and walked away toward the tree line. Where was that wolf? And why couldn’t her sisters take direction? Annoyed, she kept gazing into the woods, though she kept an ear tuned toward the conversations behind her. Soon enough, everybody got ready to go again, and Evie called to her. “We’re all set, Helen.” She huffed a little as she headed back, chin held high. Evie started off beside Dorie, the two easily chatting. Rett waited for Helen. “Tone it down a bit,” she advised. “Are you bitching about me, too?” Helen snapped. “Like that,” Rett said noncommittally. “Take it down a notch.” “You’re so helpful,” she sniped. “Like anybody even notices me.” “Everybody notices you.” Rett’s tone was correcting. “Especially when you’re being a royal pain in the neck. Tone it down. Nobody’s here to make a fool of you.” Helen, shocked, took the impact of those words on her chest. Nobody’s here to make a fool of you. She had nothing to say. Rett nudged her with an elbow. “Come on. Let’s make it a good day for a hike.” She nodded tightly and followed. Hiking made her brain run faster. Rett’s words rang in her memory. Nobody’s here to make a fool of you, Helen. I don’t need anyone to do that. I’ve done it myself, more than once. A lot more than once. Despite her tired body, her mind was super-charged as thoughts, memories and feelings flooded her. She couldn’t outrace them, and even the challenging terrain didn’t distract her, though after a series of switchbacks, landing at the brook felt like an accomplishment. Or at least a break from her thoughts.

Title: Abel (Broken Falls, #2) Author: Laramie Briscoe Genre:Contemporary Romance Release Date:March 15, 2024 Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC. A year worth of flirting comes down to this kiss... Abel I've eaten more tacos the past year than I have my entire life. It's not because I love those little handfuls of goodness (although I do). It's because of the woman who runs the local food truck Let's Taco Bout It. Seeing her makes my day, and while I can't admit my feelings, I can at least see her smile. Until Halloween. When a man gives her attention she doesn't want, she pretends we're together, and lays a kiss on me that I'll never forget. Kara I've spent the last year watching the hottie in the constantly torn and dirty jeans eating shyly walking up to my food truck and ordering the same thing each time. I've done my best to drag him out of his shell, but nothing works until a night of unwanted attention forces me to make a move. Now? He's hanging around even more, and when his husky voice calls me his girlfriend? I melt into a puddle, and he's the only one who can pick me up and put me back together again. Abel is book two in The Broken Falls Series: a series of interconnected standalones following a group of friends who have become family in small-town West Virginia, and the women who bring them to their knees. You do not have to read them in order, but each book builds upon the relationships of the last. AMAZON | APPLE BOOKS | NOOK | KOBO | GOOGLE PLAY I'm slightly nervous as I follow him into his kitchen. I gasp when I get a good look. His kitchen is my dream. Stainless steel appliances, cabinets painted a dark gray that almost pulls blue in the darkness coming through the back windows. White marble countertops are spotless and inviting. Contemporary lighting provides enough where it's needed, and softens where it isn't. "You have a pot filler," I gasp with jealousy. He laughs. "I do. When Dad and I were designing this place, he said I'd appreciate it if I were ever going to make dinner often. Since I do, I use it all the time." "You make dinner a lot?" I'm learning so much about him tonight. "When I decided to buy this place and gut it, I didn't have a ton of money. Still repaying college loans too," he shrugs. "So while I do go out with my friends to the bar, I don't spend a ton as I'm paying down stuff. Dad helped me more than he should've, but he wasn't able to take care of everything. The amount of free labor and construction work he gave me for this place was well into the hundreds of thousands. My friends helped too, which is why they hang out here all the time when we aren't working or at Monroe's." The scent of whatever we're going to eat permeates the room. "What else are you going to surprise me with tonight?" I tilt my head to the side. "Hopefully everything you never imagined I would be." Our eyes meet, and I get lost in the green depths of his. I've seen them in many different situations and they tend to change colors depending on what's happening. It runs the gamut from very light to dark, like the luscious floor of the rainforest. "I don't really know you at all do I?" My voice is quiet as I observe him. "Does anyone really know you?" He scratches the back of his neck, ducking his head down. "There are very few people who do, and I prefer it that way.”

King of Nothing
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- EXCERPT: “Your parents are dead, and you trash a hotel room.” His blue eyes look past me as he adds on, “And apparently fuck hookers.” I follow his gaze to see Evangeline coming from the bedroom, her hair still wet and dripping onto her shoulders while she holds her shoes. “What makes you think I’m a hooker?” she asks as she slips on her heels. Rausch assesses her carefully, his mouth pressed firmly in a tight line. “An educated guess.” “Jesus Christ, Darren. Do you know how much this will cost to fix?” Rausch gestures dramatically to the trashed room. I notice the TV mounted on the wall is cracked, and I just now remember that I hit it on my way out of the room last night, looking down at my knuckles to notice the bruises only just now. “Just have the hotel send me the bill.” “Money is not going to fix this,” Rausch yells, “especially when you don’t have any.” “You’re not making any sense.” Alistair straightens. “Can we just calm down?” “I don’t think either of you fuckups really understand the gravity of the situation,” Rausch spits, pinching his eyebrows as if he’s talking to two disorderly students instead of two grown men. “Your parents are dead, and not only is that a difficult situation for Congress, but it also means your money – your parent’s money,” he makes a point to say, “is tied up in probate.” “Can you – just stop saying that?” I throw my hands up. “That your parents are dead? No, because the sooner you wake up and join reality, the better.” “What do you mean, there’s no money?” “The money is locked up in probate.” “What the fuck do you mean, probate?” I question, staring at Rausch with my chest heaving. “You went to law school; did they not teach you about probate law?” Rausch doesn’t rattle easily, that’s why he got the reputation he has. Unbreakable, formidable, and effective – The Kingmaker. Of course I know about probate law, and that means my parents money could be frozen anywhere from six months to two years. I’m mad at Rausch for being the only one I have right now. I’m mad at myself for being such a fuckup. I’m mad at the pilot for crashing the helicopter. I’m mad that I feel anything. “Is that what you think I’m worried about?” I ask him. “You have worried about no one else but yourself, Darren, your whole life,” Rausch lectures. “What do you think your mother would say if she saw you right now?” His eyes travel south, and then over to Evangeline, who is still standing next to me, eyeing the exit that is still blocked by the security guard. “This is what I’m talking about.” Rausch points to the overturned table. “It’s exactly why your parents put stipulations in their wills.” I pull on the shorts and toss my hair out of my eyes. “Stipulations?” I ask, cautiously. “Yes, Darren. If you weren’t being such a fucking child, you would listen to me,” Rausch continues, and he’s right. I don’t want to listen to him, but he has me in a stranglehold right now, like a boa constrictor around my neck. Worse yet, he knows it. My father rarely discussed business with me, and he certainly didn’t make me privy to his will or his wishes, should something happen to him. He certainly wasn’t anticipating dying in a helicopter crash with my mom and leaving me alone to figure things out. When I look at Rausch I take that back, because my father did anticipate such things, he just put Rausch in charge—not me. He never would have trusted me to handle his estate. Right now, I’m at Rausch’s mercy, so I keep my mouth shut while the anger burns through me. “You don’t get any money until you’re thirty years old,” Rausch says, and then after a dramatic pause, adds, “or married.” Jesus fuck! He’ll make me beg, give me condescending lectures, and torture me for the next three fucking years. My heart sinks into my stomach, and Rausch can see it all on my face – the realization that he owns me. A satisfied smirk appears on his mouth. Perhaps if I had been the good son, stayed out of trouble, listened to him more, prayed at the altar of Emerson, who he loved so fucking much, maybe then he wouldn’t have put Rausch in charge of his affairs. I narrow my eyes at Rausch because I’ve never been known to back down from a fight, and I still have skin in this game. It’s an impulsive move, but dire situations require dire action. I grab Evangeline, pulling her to my side. “Well, isn’t it convenient that my fiancée is right here?”

Tropes: Age Gap/Father's Best Friend
Enemies to Lovers/Boss-Employee
Release Date: March 14, 2024
BLURB
One New Year’s masquerade. One anonymous hookup. One billionaire-sized mistake.
Once upon a time, someone looked at my scrawny, quiet eight-year-old self and nicknamed me Mr. Important… and I believed them.
That was my first mistake.
Two decades, a dozen failed careers, and a thousand meaningless hookups later, I’ve made more mistakes than I can count. My parents have decided I’m purely decorative, my brother thinks I need pep talks, and the gorgeous billionaire who hired me as a favor to my dad? He’s forgotten I exist.
So I’m done with mistakes.
Call it my New Year’s resolution. From now on, I’m going after what I want… starting with the mysterious silver fox in the Roman warrior mask who approached me at the charity gala and offered me a scorching, anonymous one-night-stand.
Unfortunately, when our masks come off I realize mistakes are not done with me.
Because the bossy guy who blew my mind? He’d thought I was someone else. Worse than that, he’s my father’s friend. A supposedly-straight workaholic. The person I’m stuck on a road trip with for the next two weeks. And, oh yeah, my actual boss.
The farther we get from New York, the closer we become, and the harder it is to pretend I’m not falling for him. But I can’t see how someone as brilliant, controlled, and successful as Thatcher Pennington would risk everything to be with someone like me… even if he makes me feel like I’m finally Mr. Important.
