New Release & Giveaway! Wicked Betrayal by Marty Mayberry – Includes an Excerpt!

romancebookwormLeave a comment

Nothing beats being locked up forever in supernatural juvie, right?

If only committing murder wasn’t my only way out.

I just wanted to find my father.

When I’m framed by the head of the Seeker’s Guild and sent to Darkwater Reformatory to serve a life sentence, I know I’m doomed. I’ll never see anyone I love again. And forget trying to escape. Darkwater is located in the fae world, on an island in the middle of a forbidding sea. Wizards sent there never return.

Yet my father’s also at the Reformatory, and I’ve been desperate to find him. But he’s using a fake name, so the odds of identifying him are slim. He could be the warden, a guard, or a fellow inmate…

While I track him down, I’ll have to blend in. Seekers are the cops of the fae world, and I was their most promising Seeker. If my identity is revealed, I’m dead. Other than escape, I have two ways out. One, survive the ever-changing, magical catacombs that are the training grounds for a secret Reformatory project. Pass all the tests, and I can leave Darkwater.

Or, I could go with the second option and fulfill the bond I made with the Head Seeker. It shouldn’t be that hard to eliminate a fellow inmate.

Except he’s the wizard I’m falling for.

Wicked Betrayal is Book 1 in the Darkwater Reformatory Series. Follow Tria as she hunts down her father, falls for a hot fae wizard, and saves the world. Or something like that…

New Release & Giveaway! Savage Heat by K.L. Ramsey – Includes an Excerpt!

romancebookwormLeave a comment

As president of my MC, I’ve always had to hide a part of who I am. I was fine with that until he walked into my life. Now, I can’t shove that half of myself into the dark anymore. My club won’t understand and the woman I want definitely won’t get it, but what choice do I have? I want them both and I’m done with not taking what I want.

Yeah, I’m savage enough to screw the rules to get what I want and I want them.

Both of them—and I won’t settle for less.

You can’t control who you love but sometimes, it’s savage enough to make its own heat.

romancebookwormLeave a comment

Danger brings together two guarded hearts in a battle for survival in this irresistible story from New York Times bestselling authors Linda Howard and Linda Jones.

Sela Gordon, the shy owner of a Tennessee general store, finds safety in solitude. But if anyone can pierce her protective shell it’s the handsome, mysterious ex-military man living alone in the wilds of Cove Mountain. For two years, he’s kept his distance—until the day he appears to warn her that a catastrophic solar storm capable of taking down the power grid is coming. Now, Sela must find the courage to become the leader Wears Valley needs.

Bitter experience has taught Ben Jernigan it’s best to look out for number one. For two years the former soldier has lived in a self-imposed exile, using a top-notch security system to keep people away. But he had to let Sela know about the impending threat—and now the quiet and undeniably sexy woman is making it too easy for him to lower his guard.

As panic spreads, Sela and Ben discover that in the dark, cut off from the outside world, there’s no more playing it safe—in life or in love.

A woman with a haunted past…

An agent with a dangerous secret…

A madman with a twisted sense of revenge…

While honing her gifts as a cold-case consultant with the Dublin Garda, Liv Sullivan uncovers a personal connection to the spirits who seek her help. Faced with a chance to bring peace to the living, rather than the dead, Liv can’t resist. Even if it means working alongside the man who broke her heart.

Special Agent Ridge McCaffrey chose duty over desire, a mistake that nearly ended Liv Sullivan’s life. So, when a missing person’s investigation exposes a link to Liv, Ridge vows to bring her home, hoping for a second chance with the Bureau’s most valuable asset.

As they rekindle their relationship, an enemy from Ridge’s past looms dangerously close. And when Ridge’s sister is abducted, Liv makes the ultimate sacrifice, placing herself in the crosshairs between a corrupt psychic intelligence operation and an ex-agent with a score to settle.

Can Liv stop a killer before death becomes her only escape?

Inherent Lies is the compelling second book in the Blood Secrets psychological suspense series. If you like flawed heroines and complex plots laced with a hint of romance, then you’ll love this second installment of Alicia Anthony’s award-winning thriller.
