His Beautiful Revenge: A Bad Boy Billionaire Romance

by Michelle Love

So, you think I have it all? Yes, I'm Giacomo Conti, the billionaire. Dark Italian good looks, sex appeal, and every woman I meet practically begging to get me into bed.
That's my world, yes.


So why am I in a loveless relationship with a gold-digging woman who cheats on me every chance she gets?
Enough is enough.
That's why I hired Norah. My sweet, beautiful, tender, delectable Norah.
It wasn't meant to go anywhere. She was supposed to help me catch my cheater of a girlfriend and her abusive ex, in the middle of their affair.
But it went so much further. 

Now, I can't work, I can't think of anything but her soft lips, her warm smile, her incredible body with legs that go on for miles...
I want her in my arms, I need her in my bed, I have to be inside her, her fingernails clawing at my back, making her scream my name again and again...
I want to make her cry out so hard she thinks she's in paradise, when it's me who knows...I'm the one in heaven when I'm with her.
Not that I'll let her know that.
Not at first.

I know she'll be a challenge, I know it won't be easy.
But I'm Giacomo Conti.
She doesn't stand a chance...

Slow Burn

by Roxie Noir

 

I was hired to protect her, not make her scream my name.

 


From dodging bullets in Afghanistan to working for the Secret Service when I got out of the Marines, I know danger pretty well.

Or I thought I did. That was before my latest assignment came with a whole new kind of danger.

Her name? Ruby.

She’s the gorgeous-as-hell, opinionated, spitfire daughter of Senator Burgess. Her family’s beyond strict, but for a girl who’s so innocent, she’s anything but sweet.

Wicked green eyes, curves that beg me to touch them, and a smile that makes me think dirty, dirty thoughts.

Her father’s a nightmare — a totalitarian who rules his family with an iron fist. He decides what clothes his daughters wear, what books they read, where they can go — hell, who they marry.

Ruby can pretend with them, but she can’t pretend with me. I can tell there’s more to her than the demure southern belle she has to be in public.

But I’m a professional, hired to be her bodyguard. I know better than to fall for someone I’m supposed to protect, but with every glance, every accidental touch, every word she says to me, I just want her more.

I want to tear away the innocent good girl veneer, and make the real Ruby scream my name as she rakes her nails down my back.

It’s f*cking dangerous. If we get caught, there will be hell to pay — and it’ll be worse for her.

But I don’t think I can stay away.


Slow Burn is a full-length, 92,000 word completely standalone novel with a happily-ever-after ending and steamy scenes that might require a cold shower.

WANTED: A Bad Boy Crime Romance

by Samantha Cade

Jack Larsen is a billionaire playboy trying to outrun a murder charge, and he just walked into my diner. It’s the most exciting thing to happen in this tiny town since forever, so I don’t mind flirting with the incredibly hot, incredibly dangerous fugitive, especially when he looks at me that way.

I’ve followed the details of the case in the news, and it doesn’t look good for Jack. All evidence points to him. Jack killed his father.

He doesn’t know I know who he is, of course. He tells me his name is Pete, and I go along with it. Maybe it’s foolish to be alone with him in the empty diner, late at night, but I always liked to play close to the edge.

The smoking hot man in front of me is full of a darkness I can’t fathom, but I crave a taste.

Just one night with him, that’s all I need, just a moment’s relief from this small town boredom. I willingly give in to his seduction. Soon, his breath is hot against my neck, his hands rough on my skin. It feels so good to have his body pressed against me, the fear and lust making my head spin.

That’s when I mess up.

I open my mouth and say the one word I shouldn’t.

“Jack.”

Caveman: A Single Dad Next Door Romance

by Jo Raven

Matt Hansen.
Hot single daddy.
Arrogant. Rude. Older.
My boss.
Totally off limits... right?


Matthew Hansen is the kind of handsome that has grown women whispering behind their hands and giggling like schoolgirls.
Dark, tall and mysterious, he’s a newcomer to our little town. He’s a gritty, grease-covered mechanic, and a single daddy.
Sweet, right?
Plus, he’s looking for a nanny – and I am desperately looking for a job.
Sounds like the perfect deal.
Only he’s a jerk. An uncivilized, hulking brute. Zero manners. Zero interest in making me feel welcome in his home. Downright rude.
But oh, so s*xy.
And I need the job. I can do this.
One thing is for sure: I can’t fall for the Caveman. No matter how sexy he is. How mysterious. How tortured.
That’s the only rule – and one I’m about to break.

***This is a standalone, full-length romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger or cheating. For a limited time, I have included ZANE, a standalone novel, and MICAH, a standalone long novella, as bonus. ***

Marry Me Twice (Rose Quartz Series Book 1)

by Catherine Avril Morris

"Morris delivers...emotional heat!" —Publishers Weekly

A love festival, an ancient legend, an online Marry Mason contest, and a surprise marriage of convenience...

What could possibly go wrong?

If you love hot heroes, smart heroines and small-town stories with a touch of magic, you'll adore MARRY ME TWICE and the Rose Quartz series!

The pursuit of her dream job takes Janie Adams to tiny Rose Quartz, New Mexico, to produce a TV feature on the town’s annual Valentine’s Day festival. Rose Quartz is famous for two things: its successful marriages and its namesake mines that yield the mystical Love Stone, reputed to keep lovers true.

But her simple assignment gets out of hand when she meets rancher Mason Hart. Owner of the town’s last operating rose quartz mine, Mason is annoyingly brash, hotter than hell, and—thanks to a ludicrously antiquated family tradition—in a real bind: If he doesn’t marry before his 30th birthday, in just two weeks' time, he’ll lose the family ranch and mine forever.

As a mysterious legend surfaces and Rose Quartz begins working its magic, Janie shocks everyone—especially herself—with an impulsive dive into a marriage of convenience. But all too soon, she realizes her sham of a marriage is truly just a business deal, and her gorgeous husband is nothing but a stranger.

Will Janie end up losing Mason—or can she gain the life and love of her dreams?

Readers say MARRY ME TWICE is “a great story by an author with a great voice”; “...a fun and quirky book”; “truly a beautiful well-written love story... I couldn’t put it down”; “I enjoyed the discovery of this literary gem, anticipating each plot twist filled with heartwarming emotions, unique characters, grins and practical marriage wisdom."

MARRY ME TWICE is Book One of the Rose Quartz series. It is a contemporary romance novel set in small-town New Mexico. Book Two, CASSIDY'S DADDY, is also available on Amazon, and Book Three, MIDNIGHT DREAMS, is coming soon.

HEAT LEVEL: 3 Hatch Chili Peppers (out of 5) — This novel contains two to three fully developed lovemaking scenes, plus plenty of sexual tension between the hero and heroine.

Sold to the Dom

by Amy Brent

I like to be the boss, always in control. 
I believe everything comes with a price tag. And when I say everything, I mean - EVERYTHING. 
A Virgin Auction? I find the whole idea distasteful. 
Until I see her...
This evening is all about payback. 


Lily steps onto the stage dressed barely, in a little black dress. It dips to show her full juicy cleavage. The type that I love to suck and the hips that I love to have grinding up and down against me. 

With a single glimpse of the innocent girl, I've suddenly forgotten about revenge and payback.

Tonight, is about winning Lily. 

Owning Lily. 

I must confess that I love the look on my enemy's face as I lead Lily away.

And just one night with her is enough for me to realise that I can't get enough of her. The innocent girl is a balm that heals my soul. She is a promise that cures me of the darkness that's been buried inside of me for so long.

But Lily has secrets of her own and the secrets that bind us could end up tearing us apart.
I have a choice. 
And the price I must pay will cost far more than the winning bid...


This is a full length 50,000 word novel with guaranteed HEA and no cheating! Bonus extras for your reading pleasure.

Where it all might take her, Mrs. Harper cannot see but now she knows she needs to grasp whatever comes. She has to feed her hunger for the pounding and the clenches in the desperately clinging nights that make her howl and plead and moan.

Montana Maverick (Big Sky Mavericks Book 4)

by Debra Salonen

Be careful what you wish for-
Meg Zabrinski wants a child. She's a successful scientist, a well-known environmental advocate, and a tenured professor. She doesn't need a man in her life to make this happen. But having a baby alone is a weighty decision, so she retreats to her isolated mountain cabin to write and think. When Henry Firestone--an old foe from her distant past--drops out of the sky on Christmas Eve with three young children and a baby, Meg tells herself she'd be crazy not to consider all her options--especially when she's always nursed a secret crush on the handsome rancher. Although the sparks between them ignite a mutual passion, Henry makes it clear he's done having children. Falling in love with Henry Firestone and his beautiful family would require Meg to give up her dream. Can the Lone Wolf assimilate into a new pack, or was this Big Sky Maverick meant to be alone?

They say timing is everything-
Henry Firestone doesn't recognize the "angel in snowshoes" who comes to his rescue in the middle of a blizzard, immediately, but Meg Z. knows him. Twenty years earlier, the media paired them as rivals to the death. Meg championed the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone, while Henry argued just as passionately that wolves would put ranchers on the Endangered Species List. She's still beautiful, independent and headstrong, and Henry's now free to admit that he always had a thing for her. Unfortunately, he's fighting for sole custody of his late daughter's four children. They are his biggest priority. He'd do anything to keep his family together--even sleep with the enemy in hopes that she might join his cause.
