RELEASE BLITZ: Forever Drew by A.K. Steel




Title: Forever Drew
Series: Broken Point #4
Author: A.K. Steel
Genre: Contemporary Romantic Suspense
Release Date: October 22, 2021


BLURB

I write fairytales, but I certainly don’t live in one.

A long time ago I met my knight in shining armour. The dreamy Drew Walker. Drew showed up in the right place at the right time to free me from my train wreck of a life. I was stripping at a local club, on the run from my ex-boyfriend, a thug for one of Sydney's largest criminal empires.

I fell for him quickly, but the timing wasn't right and tragedy struck, destroying our chances of finding happiness together. We parted ways, and I thought that would be the end.

Five years later, across the busy room of a local bar our eyes lock. He smiles, flashing his cheeky charismatic dimples and it's like no time has passed. Except we're both different now. He has found fame as Australia's sexy bad-boy pro surfer, and I'm just a humble librarian with big dreams of being an author.

Could this be our second chance at happiness together? Or are too many ghosts from the past still haunting us to ever really be able to hold onto the love we have for each other?

Is the past lost to me forever, or could Drew be my happily ever after?

*Content warning: contains elements of violence and sexual abuse.

EXCERPT

He rubs his hands up and down my arms, trying to comfort me. I look up at him. "Why are you helping me?"
"Because you need a hand. I would do the same for anyone if they were as down on their luck as you. It's the way I’ve been brought up, and my parents would kill me if I didn't. It's what us Walkers do." He cups my face, running his thumb over my lip. It sends a thrill right through my body. His touch is electric, energising, and I don't know if it's the adrenaline rush, but I want this man so badly I can taste it.
I bite the inside of my mouth to stop myself from acting on my impulse and just kissing him. He lowers his hands and laces our fingers together. "And I told you earlier, you're someone important to me, I know it already."
"Drew Walker, you might just be the sweetest guy there ever was."
He grins. "What's your real name? I can't introduce you to my parents in the morning as Bambi."
"It's Jenna, Jenna West."
He smiles and pulls me into his chest, and I let him. I need to feel the comfort of another human. After everything I’ve been through, the warmth of his body and the small gesture of a hug and knowing someone in this fucked-up world actually cares enough to go out of their way for me, it means everything.
While we stand in his parents' front yard, his arms wrapped around me, I go over his words in my head. You're someone important to me. Such a strange thing for him to say when we have literally just met, but I can feel it too. He's going to be someone important in my life as well.

AUTHOR BIO


I'm a contemporary romance author my novels feature swoony men, twists and turns and always a happily ever after.

I'm a busy mother of three pre-teens, who lives on the beautiful South Coast of New South Wales, Australia. I have always been a creative soul, with a background in fashion design, interior decoration, and floristry. I currently run a business as a wedding florist and stylist, but have always had a love for reading romance novels, something about how the story can transport you to another world entirely.

So in 2020 I decided to jot down some of my own ideas for romance stories, always with a happily ever after of course, and from that came my debut novel Always Fraser. From that moment I haven't looked back, writing has become a part of me. I have a long list of stories plotted and I look forward to being able to share all my stories with you soon. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I loved writing them, xx

EXCERPT

I felt rage burn through my veins at that. It was the first I’d heard of it.
“It was all supposed to happen, and then you came along. Little orphan girl, with the big blue eyes, and the big fake boobs.”
I licked the inside of my mouth, leaned over the island, grabbed her hand, and yanked her straight down onto the marble countertop. I moved my face inches from hers and smiled like the crazy person I was becoming.
“Elio wants a real woman, not some skinny drunk who can’t keep the bottle from her jacked-up lip job. Nor would he even want to entertain visiting your eight-men-a-day, stretched out, trailer trash vag.” She blinked at my crass words. “Come at me again, and I promise I will show you what I learned on the streets.”
I let go and leaned back, snatching the bottle from Mariano, who stared at me with a gaping mouth. “Oh, Anna, these are far from fake.” I took another shot, high-fived Donte behind the counter, and left.

RELEASE TOUR: Speeding Hearts by Claire Wilder

Upon returning to his hometown, Dean Hughes makes a deal with his best friend Stella Archer. However the more time they spend together the more the lines between friendship and romance blur, will they risk their friendship to take a chance on love? Fall for this hard-working hottie in Speeding Hearts by Claire Wilder, a Friends to Lovers Romance, the next book in the Blue Collar Romance Series.

Read Now!

STELLA Stella Archer has never been afraid of a challenge. She was the first woman mechanic in her hometown. She runs her own garage. And when her best friend and fellow mechanic Dean announces he's moving back to his hometown, instead of being devastated, she jumps at the chance to work part-time at his uncle’s dirt track—and finally fulfill her dream of racing cars. But with plenty of time to train with her best friend, for the first time in my life, Stella's scared. Scared that racing isn’t really what she wants. Scared that Dean is. DEAN Dean Hughes knows he can handle moving back to his hometown to care for his sick—and surly—father. He can even deal with returning to the scene of all his past mistakes. The only thing he can't take is the idea of losing his best friend Stella. Now that she's here in Oak Bend, she’s going to see what a screw-up he really is. Worse, he might see the truth he's been hiding from himself: he wants more from Stella than just friendship. And when Stella finds out? There'll be no putting the brakes on what comes next.

Excerpt

Copyright 2021 Claire Wilder

As it turned out, work kept me busy enough all day that I didn’t have time to think much about Dean at all. Or at least, not much. I still felt the littlest fluttering in my stomach when I thought about tonight—he was going to come by the motel at seven-thirty and take me on a little tour of his hometown. It almost felt like a date. Except that it was my buddy, Dean. But those thoughts only happened a few times that day. Most of the time, I concentrated on working my ass off. By the time the closing time rolled around, I was shocked at where the day had gone. John gave me a begrudging nod as he left. He’d nitpicked my work all day, but before clocking out, he actually said, “You’re better than the last kid by a mile,” which I took to be the highest compliment. Freddie showed me how to lock up, which I’d be doing on my own a couple days a week, and then, mercifully, I was on my own. Throughout the day, a couple of drivers had come by to practice on the oval, and each time, I’d looked up longingly at the sound of them but turned quickly back to whatever engine I was working on. It was imperative I showed Colin what I could do. Now, with the track silent, I stood next to one of the nicer cars parked outside in the lot. I looked around. The place was completely deserted, and I happened to have the keys Freddie had handed me. The keyring in my hand, I knew, contained the key for this particular car. I’d seen Freddie drive it around front earlier. Colin had said I wasn’t supposed to go anywhere near the oval. But he didn’t say anything about not test driving any of the cars. I knew I was interpreting his words more liberally than his intention, but I was a grown adult, damn it. And what harm would there be in taking it in a circle around the lot? Just slipping behind the wheel made adrenaline shoot through my stomach. When I turned it on, I was nearly sick. For a moment, the adrenaline running through me went cold and slick. What the hell was I doing? I’d never actually gotten this close to my dream of racing cars before. I’d driven nice cars in my career, sure. I’d topped the speed limit on the highway a hundred times over. But actually sitting in a street stock car with my hands wrapped around the wheel, my foot on the gas, the stick in neutral… I wondered for the first time if this dream of mine was really mine or something I’d cooked up to show everyone how tough I was. No. This was mine. It had to be. Checking to make sure the car was in neutral, I revved the engine. It roared under me, making me laugh with the thrill of it. I did it again. Man, this felt better than sex. Not quite, but in the moment, it felt close. Then I chickened out. I cut the engine and got out, slamming the car door behind me. Then I raised my fists in mock triumph, imagining the crowd screaming around me. I even made the sound I used to make as a kid playing with my brothers. Then someone clapped behind me. I couldn’t help it, I yelped. Whirling around, my ponytail hit me in the eye just like it had the last time I was caught out here. “Shit!” I swore, both at the sting in my eye and the mortification at getting caught by the boss playing make-believe. But when I blinked, I saw it wasn’t Colin. The figure before me was tall. Broad across the shoulders. Covered in tattoos. Looking at me with a grin that made my insides melt into taffy. Dean.

COVER REVEAL: Fender by Crystal Daniels & Sandy Alvarez




Title: Fender
Series: Kings of Retribution MC Louisiana #5
Authors: Crystal Daniels & Sandy Alvarez
Genre: MC Romance
Cover Design: Crystal Daniels
Release Date: December 13, 2021


BLURB

Sawyer Huntington, better known as Fender to his brothers, always knew he wanted more from life than his small town had to offer. He dreamt of fame and sold-out crowds screaming his name. The one person he loved more than music was Jo.
She was his inspiration.
His muse.
Until an act of betrayal ripped them apart.
Sawyer walked away and never looked back.
His journey took him to New Orleans. Sawyer would lose himself in the music he played until it numbed the pain. The Big Easy had a way of working her magic on the broken, so he stayed.
A gig playing at Twisted Throttle introduced Sawyer to the MC lifestyle. The Kings of Retribution gave him something he’d been missing for a long time; brotherhood and purpose.

Josephine Gates has only loved one man, her best friend, Sawyer Huntington.
Fate had other plans for them.
Sometimes the people we trust hurt us the most.
Josephine tried to undo what had been done, but it was too late. Sawyer was gone… taking her heart with him.
Moving on wasn’t easy, but Josephine was determined to make the best of the hand she was dealt.

The threat of an outlaw MC trying to overrun New Orleans causes mayhem throughout the city. Amongst the chaos, Fender comes face to face with a ghost from his past—Jo.
Old feelings resurface, along with the bitter sting of betrayal.
The problem is, he can’t stop thinking about her.

Truths soon reveal themselves.
One defining moment changes everything.

The Kings of Retribution are at war, and now, there is more at stake than his club or himself.
Blood will spill, and lives will be taken.
Fender would give his last breath to protect his future.

Author: Ariana Rose
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 21, 2021


BLURB

I worked so hard to slay every demon and fight every battle to be by her side.
Now, I stare at the one match that could destroy everything we've gained. Me.
I thought I had the tools, the knowledge, to thrive... to survive, but I was wrong.

When you can't hide it, fight it, or mask it, there's only one thing left to do.
Run.
I've always strived for perfection. I've had to. It's been expected, demanded of me.
Until Alexandra. She never expects perfection. She only expects... me.
I've experienced loss in its worst and truest form, and they say history is cyclical.
How long do I have with her until my actions take her away?

Sometimes, it feels like I'm a pawn in the chess game of my life.
But I will protect my friends, my family, and my son from anything that could harm them.
Even if that thing... is me.

EXCERPT

“I want sleepless nights and conversations without end. I want passion, madness, and someone who will make my entire body shiver with one look from across a crowded room. I want someone who will pull me close and make me feel as if I not only belong, but am an indispensable part of them. I want them to see my flaws, embrace them, and show me how they’re my greatest strengths. I want love without compromise. I want to face the storm and know I’m not alone. I don’t want an ordinary love. I want the impossible.”
I bare my soul, giving him everything in one breath. Then I sit still. My chest heaves. My heart pounds. Regret creeps into my thoughts.
What the hell have I done?
He says nothing, yet his thoughts are telegraphed in the movements of his body. In the tensing of his legs. In the way his breaths hitch. He tells me everything.
He splays his hand across my belly, keeping his touch modest and yet at the same time, incredibly sensual. Possessive. Protective.
Dax’s chest swells with the deepness of his breath, then it’s as if his entire body curves around mine, claiming me as his own.
He wraps his arms around me, sheltering me. The warmth of his breath whispers past my ear, sending a shiver down my spine and a tickle shooting up my neck.
I tilt my head back against his shoulder.
“That’s…” He clears his throat. “That’s not what I was expecting.” He tugs on the reins and his horse ambles to a stop. “Who hurt you? Who took your heart and broke it?”
