RELEASE BLITZ: Ruthless King by Faith Summers




Title: Ruthless King
Series: Dark Syndicate #6
Author: Faith Summers
Genre: Dark Mafia Romance
Release Date: November 19, 2021


BLURB

The truth hurts, but lies can kill…

I offer to do anything to save my father’s life when he’s captured by the devil he owes a debt to.

A three-million-dollar debt.

So, I became the devil’s spy as I enter the lair of the Cartel King to take a job as a live-in nanny for his niece.

My orders were simple.
All I needed to do was this:

Get close to the Cartel King.
Be his to do anything he wants me to do.
Make him trust me enough to tell me the secrets his enemies need.

Do that, and I will save my father.

I just never expected to fall in love.
Or that Alejandro Ramírez would be the first man to heal my broken heart.

When he discovers the truth, I may wish I’d died instead of making that deal with the devil.


‘Ruthless King’ is the sixth book in the Dark Syndicate series. It is a standalone Age-Gap Dark Mafia Romance, complete with HEA and no cliffhangers.
Please note: It contains dubious situations, mature content, and graphic violence some readers might find offensive and/or triggering.

EXCERPT

Raw heat is still streaking through my body just from the mere handshake.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more perfect man.
Eyes the shade of a crow’s wing are locked on mine, and full symmetrical lips quirk up into a mercurial smile.
His face is all angles with high exotic cheekbones and a chiseled jaw you’d find on a storybook prince. The bright morning sun shines over his skin, making it look like the sun kissed it that color bronze.
The gray streaks in his beard, hairline, and temples only serve to highlight his beauty and strength in what I can see of the rest of his body. As if to highlight that his perfection came with age and he’ll look even better and better, and sexier, the older he gets. The silver hoop in his ear tames him a fraction, adding to his style but also conjuring the image of a pirate in my mind. It gives a glimpse of the conquering cartel king he is.
Of course, I was given a picture of Alejandro Ramírez before coming to this ill-fated interview. So, I already knew he looks like a seamless blend of Antonio Banderas and my all-time favorite Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui.
Alejandro is what they would look like if they were one person.
The lucid image makes me wonder if I really am stuck in a fucked-up rendition of a dark fairytale. One where he is the prince and I’m the villain, or maybe everyone is the antithesis to good in this story.

EXCERPT

“This is your favorite drink?” he asks, sitting back down on his stool then pointing at the martini.

“Yes. I don’t drink often, but when I do, I like something sweet. I have a huge sweet-tooth.” I reach for my martini to take a drink and, in full Destiny-klutzery, I manage to graze the rim with the side of my hand, smearing chocolate syrup and graham cracker crumbs from below my pinky down to my wrist. Thank God I didn’t knock the whole thing over. That would’ve been a classic move and thoroughly embarrassing.

Holding onto his jacket so it doesn’t fall off my shoulders, I reach across the bar for a napkin to wipe off my hand. Nicco stops me mid-reach, takes my wrist in his hand and wraps his fingers firmly, yet gently, around it. I look into his smoldering eyes and he locks his gaze on me.

Lifting my hand to his mouth, he sucks at the chocolate syrup on the meat of my hand then moves down to my wrist, never shifting his eyes from mine. As he circles his warm tongue around my wrist bone, heat burns up my chest, through my neck, and scorches my face. The rooms spins and blurs around us. My increasing pulse thumps in my ears.

Releasing my hand from his mouth, he looks down and inspects his work. Not fully satisfied, he slowly flicks the tip of his tongue at the tiny bits of syrup he missed. My breaths are heavy as I watch him. Having seen his movie, I can’t help but wonder what it would feel like to have his tongue on other parts of me. Good God, cut it out.

RELEASE BLITZ: Roman's War by Karen Renee




Title: Roman's War
Series: Riot MC Biloxi #3
Author: Karen Renee
Genre: Romantic Suspense/MC Romance
Release Date: November 18, 2021


BLURB

She’s playing with fire, but to win Roman’s heart, she’s willing to take her chances.

Time is running out for Trinity Benoit. She must get married to claim her grandfather’s legacy. In her family’s social circle, any man interested in her is only after the inheritance. Not to mention, those men aren’t her type.

Always attracted to bad boys, Roman Sanchez steals Trinity’s attention the day she lays eyes on him.
Nothing goes to plan when she approaches Roman with her proposal.

As the pyrotechnic expert for the Riot MC Biloxi chapter, Roman defends his brotherhood against any threats. He’s no stranger to bar brawls or street fights. Yet, he faces an epic battle against a woman who could send him to prison.

To protect himself and his club, he agrees to marry her.

It isn’t until after they say, ‘I do,’ that Roman discovers there’s more to his wife than blackmail and extortion. If Roman isn’t careful, he may find himself committed to something bigger (and possibly even better) than the Riot MC brotherhood.

Will Roman desert Trinity as soon as he’s fulfilled their bargain? Or will he find himself one of the ‘mighty’ who fall prey to love’s force?

EXCERPT

“Hello, Mamá,” he said, once he’d opened the door.
“Hijo! What a lovely surprise.”
Trinity moved in front of him. “Marie, what brings you by?”
Mamá pushed her way forward and Roman closed the door behind her. He noticed her holding Trinity’s hand.
“I never got a chance to look at your rings, querida. Que bonita!”
Before he could say a word, Mamá whirled and grabbed his hand. “Y tu? Where’s your ring?”
“It’s being sized,” Trinity chirped.
He glared at her, but the effect was lost on her.
“I gave the jeweler the wrong size.”
A knowing gleam hit Mamá’s eyes, but she cleared it before turning to Trinity. “You should’ve asked. I could have given you his ring size.”
“You could?” Roman asked.
She grinned at him.
Trinity asked, “What really brings you by, Marie? It wasn’t just to check out my bling.”
Mamá’s grin didn’t fade as she looked to Trinity. “Just checking in on my newlyweds. I cannot tell you how thrilled I am.”
Trinity frowned. “You heard Roman yesterday, Marie. This isn’t that. Not in that—”
Mamá laughed. “Your bedroom may not border my unit, querida, but you were loud earlier. So, I don’t want to hear it from either of you.”
She turned back to him. “Hijo, make your wife happy. And by happy, I mean pregnant. Quiero ser una abuela antes de morir.”
Through gritted teeth, he said, “You’re not going to die anytime soon. Not if I have anything to do with it.”
She patted his cheek. “I won’t live to ninety either, Anton. Good night.”
When the door closed, Trinity spoke. “That’s mortifying. I don’t know a ton of Spanish, but I do know what an abuela is. She wants us to make a baby? And for the love of God, she heard me!”
His dick twitched at the thought of hearing her again. Since he hadn’t added condoms to his wallet, he wouldn’t be led around by his dick.

RELEASE BLITZ: Radio Christmas by Joanne Dannon




Title: Radio Christmas
Series: Holidays Down Under #2
Author: Joanne Dannon
Genre: Sweet Holiday Romance
Release Date: November 18, 2021


BLURB

In the past, Ruby and Harry’s friendship has been a barrier to romance. Now, these two best friends are determined to help each other find love.

Ruby Martin is a celebrity radio host who shares the afternoon slot on a popular station with her best friend, Harry. Ruby’s fun-loving, enthusiastic…and hopeless when it comes to love.

When her boyfriend doesn’t show up for the Christmas in July party she and Harry are hosting, Ruby has a hard time enjoying herself. Then, to top it all off, her boyfriend dumps her.

So she isn’t impressed when one of the guests airdrops a message with a photo of himself.

But Harry’s determined to help his co-host find love—even if it means Ruby has to go on a blind date with the mystery guest who sent the photo.

***

Landscape architect Blake Emerson isn’t sure why he airdropped the photo to Ruby. He’s been listening to her for years—her radio show is the one bright spot in his life after he lost his family, the light that guided him back from the abyss.

He missed out on meeting her at the Christmas in July party, and now he realises the airdropped pic was a big mistake. The photo has gone viral.

After Ruby and Harry discuss Blake—the mystery guest—on their radio show, he is outed and they have a first date.

Everything is going well, but the deeper Blake falls for Ruby, the more difficult it becomes, as her life—including his—is public. For this reserved guy, having every bit of his life exposed is too hard to handle.

The magic of the holiday season brought Ruby and Blake together, but is it enough to keep them in each other’s lives?

“Omagawd, Ruby?”
She heard a voice call from behind her and turned around to face four teen girls.
“We love you! Can we have a photo with you?”
“Sure,” she said warmly to the teens.
“Sorry” she mouthed to Blake as she was swept to the side. The girls clustered around her, and they each took photos with her and as a group.
Ten minutes later she rejoined Blake. “Sorry, I didn’t think it would take so long.”
“I understand. You’re known, and you should be there for your fans,” he said with sincerity.
“I know you don’t like being in the spotlight.”
“That’s right. I was about to kiss you, and it made me realise that I can’t just kiss you whenever I want. We’re in public right now, and people may take photos of us.” He took a deep breath. “It’s not easy for me, but I am trying.” Then he kissed the tip of her nose.
