New Release: Beauty and the Brit by Poppy St. James

Title: Beauty and the Brit

Author: Poppy St. James

Release Date: August 23, 2021

I’m not that kind of girl. The kind who falls for her wealthy, inexplicably attractive, and totally unavailable male friend.

Sitting on the sidelines, I’ve watched women throw themselves at the sexy British bachelor Sterling Quinn, and vowed I would never be one of them.

But now the tables are turned.

Sterling needs to get married, something about an old-fashioned inheritance requirement. And suddenly I’m not just working PR . . . I’m thrust into the role of matchmaker.

The more time I spend with the gorgeous and flirtatious Sterling, the more the lines between business and pleasure start to blur.

But is this a risk worth taking?

Deciding what I want most—my flawless professional reputation, or a second chance at love with a man who delivers everything I didn’t know I needed—is going to be my biggest gamble yet.

Note: This book was previously published under an alternate pseudonym.

Savior of Regrets: A Mafia Romance

Caitlin O’Connell hides the scars of her past.

When she wakes up in the hospital, broken and bruised, Caitlin has no choice but to accept help from the Marchetti crime family... and the one guy she never thought she'd see again.

Matteo Bellatoni wears his heart on his sleeve.

Loyal. Determined. Devoted.

Watching his best friends find love has left him wondering if he'll ever have that... especially, since he's pretty sure he already let his soulmate slip through his fingers.

When Matteo and Caitlin's paths cross unexpectedly, all those feelings come rushing back, and he's determined to prove to her that some guys are worth the risk.

All is not what it seems though.

Caitlin isn’t the woman he thinks she is, and her secrets might be too big for Matteo to overcome. But he won't give up without a fight. Even when the past catches up with her and threatens the family he loves so much, Matteo refuses to let her go.

Because he lost her once...

He won’t lose her again.

* Savior of Regrets is a 80,000 word story set in the Verona Legacy world. Due to mature content that some readers may find distressing, this book is recommended for readers 18+

EXCERPT

“M-Matteo?” Her eyes flickered open. “What time is it?”

“Late. Everyone already went to bed.”

“They did?”

I nodded, offering her my hand. “Let’s get you into bed.”

Without argument, Caitlin took my hand and I led her down the hall to her room.

“Where will you sleep?” she asked around a yawn.

I pulled back the covers and flicked my head for her to get in the bed. Pulling off her hoodie, Caitlin slipped into the sheets and nestled down.

“I’ll see you tomorrow,” I said.

“Stay.”

The word echoed through my skull. My eyes found hers in the dark, and she smiled. “Matteo, will you please stay with me?”

Without a word, I yanked off my sweater and shucked out of my jeans, climbing in beside her. Caitlin burrowed into my side and laid her hand on my breastbone. “Thank you,” she whispered. “For everything.”

I pressed a kiss to her hair, hardly able to wipe the smile off my face. “You’re worth it, Tink. I hope you know that.”

A beat passed, and another, and Cait still didn’t answer.

“Cait?” I gently shook her. Nothing.

She was out for the count, curled into my side like she belonged there.

It was disarming, the deep sense of peace I felt having her close. We didn’t know each other, not really, not beyond the surface. Yet, I felt tethered to her in a way I couldn’t explain.

I wanted to hold her like this every night and wake every morning to her green eyes and blinding smile.

I wanted her—plain and simple.

But as I closed my eyes, and allowed myself to fall into oblivion, I couldn’t help but feel like I was one breath away from losing her.

Release Blitz: Crooked Crows (Boys of Briar Hall #1) by Elena Lawson

Title: Crooked Crows

Series: Boys of Briar Hall #1

Author: Elena Lawson

Genre: Dark NA Contemporary Romance

Release Date: August 20, 2021

BLURB

Unapologetically f*cked up. Heartlessly cruel. Broken beyond repair.

Corvus, Rook, and Grey – The Crows.

Bred in a world of gang wars, violence, and secrets, they rule the bloody town of Thorn Valley and all the people in it…too bad for me I’ve never been good at kissing ass or keeping quiet.

Even if their savage spirits awaken something inside of me I thought was long dead, I can’t break. I won’t.

They think they scare me, that I’ll run and hide, but the joke’s on them. The Crows aren’t the first monsters I’ve faced, and they won’t be the last. There are worse evils out there waiting to take their stab at Ava Jade Mason.

I say let them try. I’m tired of running. Tired of holding back my darkness. Thorn Valley isn’t ready for a new boogie man. Too bad I’m already here.

Crooked Crows is a dark enemies-to-lovers reverse harem romance, meaning the main character will have more than one love interest.

Warning: This series contains foul language, explicit sexual content, graphic depictions of gang violence, and jealous/possessive themes. Recommended for readers aged eighteen and up. Please read responsibly.

EXCERPT

I didn’t even have time to catch my breath before he claimed my mouth, stealing whatever dregs of air remained in my lungs. His fingers twisted into my hair, securing me to him as he shoved me against the cool stainless steel. It bit into my lower back, and I clutched it until my fingers strained from the pressure, trying desperately to ward off the flutter taking over deep in my belly.

I don’t want this.

Lie.
I don’t want him.
Lie.

“Stop fucking fighting it,” he demanded between kisses, pressing in between my hips, making me moan into his mouth.

I released the countertop, letting him lift me with ease until I was seated atop it, able to wrap my legs around his middle. To yank his shirt off.

“This means nothing,” I panted as it fell to the floor, my voice a breathy growl.

“Absolutely nothing,” he agreed with a smirk.

As a little girl, I dreamed of finding my own Prince Charming—just like in the story my mom used to read to me.

But as a woman who grew up living a life that was anything but a fairy tale, I never expected it to happen to me, and certainly not in the bordello I worked at in Las Vegas.

When our eyes locked, I knew, in another life, Liam could easily be my Prince Charming, but in my world, those kind of men didn’t exist.

He was determined to prove me wrong, though, and in one weekend, he not only showed me the world in a different light, but made me feel like a princess—before he disappeared without a trace.

After he walked away, I was determined to write my own happy ending—turns out the first chapter was becoming a single mom. Because that handsome prince… He left me the most exquisite crown jewel, who’s now my entire world.

And while I might’ve given up on finding my Prince Charming, I’ll make sure my daughter has the fairy-tale life I never did.

**Please note: if you purchased the Knocked Up: a secret baby romance anthology, Finding Prince Charming is in there.**

Author: Cathy Yardley
Genre: Romantic Comedy

Back in high school, Lily Wang wanted to be popular, but she considered herself lucky to be part of a tight group of oddballs and honors students called the Nerd Herd. Now, at twenty-eight, she feels like she’s finally on the cusp of succeeding as a beauty influencer—if she can hit five million subscribers, brands will take notice and she could get her own makeup line.

Fellow Nerd Herd alum Tobin Bui has had a lot of success as a YouTube gamer. But the road to online stardom has been rocky. First, he disappointed his parents by dropping out of college, and now, after years of pranks, skits, and playthroughs, he’s struggling to come up with new content to satisfy his ever-growing fan base. His agents say he needs cross-audience appeal, a new twist. When Nerd Herd frenemy Lily approaches Tobin about teaming up to do a video to bolster her brand and reinvigorate his, he agrees. But when their first collab video goes viral, their relationship heats up too. With the whole internet watching, will these two former misfits finally realize they’re perfect together?

For years I've kept my secrets.

Kept the darkest, most twisted parts of myself buried from everyone around me.

My need to destroy those responsible for tainting my life, ruining the person I was, the person I could've been, burns hotter with every passing day.

And when I finally get the chance to confront one and unleash the monster he turned me into, I walk straight into the other.

The one who haunts my nightmares.

The girl who torments me relentlessly.

The angel who could have saved me... but damned me instead.

It's my turn to use her. As bait.

Instead of leading me to destruction, this time she's leading me to the source of my torture.

She might not remember me from all those years ago, but one thing is for sure, by the time I'm done, she won't be able to forget who I am.

Once and for all she will understand the pain she caused.

Because one way or another, I'm going to reap devastation on those who wronged me.

Excerpt:

Her fingers find my hair and twist until it burns but I relish in the pain, I need it as a reminder for what I’m doing here. She might taste like fucking heaven. Feel like an angel. But I’m the motherfucker devil ready to rip her of the purity she likes to try to convince everyone she has. I know what she’s witnessed in the past, I know she’s not as innocent as she makes herself out to be. She knows the world is a harsh and cruel place, and that the money that has bought her freedom comes at a cost. “Leon, oh God. That’s… fuck,” she cries when I graze her clit with my teeth, smiling at the same time at her language. My good little Macie. How the mighty fall.
