COVER REVEAL: Protecting Her Honor by CC Monroe




Title: Protecting Her Honor
Author: CC Monroe
Publisher: Boom Factory Publishing, LLC
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Najla Qamber Designs
Release Date: December 10, 2021


BLURB

Sterling

I was a man of the law and I chose that profession for many reasons, but the most important was to protect what was mine. Audrey. She stole my every breath when we were younger and watching her love the man I know would one day be the very reason I protect her today.
But power and money run deep and he swam those rivers without any care of drowning and that made him the most dangerous man that I would lay my life on the line to protect her from.

Audrey

I was blinded to find a love I never had growing up. Too blind to see the warning signs and too blind to see my future right in front of me. Sterling. He was only a friend, that I looked passed, he was my safety net, my caution tape and I pushed past that line without heading the signs. Now he's back and he is my only hope.

But losing him hangs in the balance and I don't know if thats a bet I'm willing to gamble.

EXCERPT

“Sterling. He won’t stop, and you and I both know that. He’s everything evil—a wolf in sheep’s clothing,” Audrey tells me.
That pain she shows me almost daily is like watching every nightmare play out in front of you at once. It cuts me just as deeply—hell, even more than it cuts her.
“Stop it. I told you this is my burden, that I won’t let anything happen to you or my girls.” I have her beautiful pale skin in my hands. Cupping her face, I believe those tears almost sparkle with hope.
“Your girls?”
I smirk, leaving my large palm on the side of her neck as I bend enough to wrap my arm around her tiny waist. I pull her flush against me, our bodies molding to one another like they were made for each other, which seems impossible, since we are built the opposite. She’s small, five-foot six to be exact, and weightless when surrounded by my strength. I’m six-foot six, my body lean and toned, my arms large and defined. I'm a solid rock for her to be stable on.
She’s mine. Born to breathe for me as I was born to live for her. I won’t let her scum of an ex-husband destroy what he lost and I gained. Audrey, Tessa, and Libby are mine.
“Yeah, don't act so surprised. You and the twins are mine.” I see his most recent attempt to get inside her head fade from her face, her brow unfurrowing and that beautiful smile taking residency. Her green eyes awaken the alpha in me. The kind who wants to lay her down like a man lays his woman on any surface when she needs to forget everything down to her own fucking name.
“You sure you’re ready to be a dad to twins? To be with me?”
I give her that cocky grin that made her crumble in my hands the first time she let me claim her. “It was my lot to be surrounded by women. I wouldn't let anything change that, not even a man and his army.”
She drops her head against my chest, her cheek resting there, and she shakes her head. “You say that now, but how do you know he won’t win?”
“Because his army can’t touch even an ounce of the rage in my body. If he ever comes around you again, he will see what a man can do for the women he loves. That’s a promise.”
She shivers, my words impacting her the way they need to. She shouldn't fear me, but she fears the man I will be if her ex ever tries to hurt her again.
That motherfucker could have killed her, and I’m licensed to defend and protect what’s mine. I won’t hesitate to pull the trigger next time.

RELEASE BLITZ: Out of Bounds by Khardine Gray




Title: Out of Bounds
Series: Sinful Bachelors #2
Author: Khardine Gray
Genre: Steamy Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 30, 2021


BLURB

How did I end up marrying my high school bully?

I first met Ethan Carson when I was ten.
One look and I knew he was trouble.

He could charm you with his striking blue eyes, his killer smile, and a face that was made for Hollywood. But look closer and you’ll see the devil incarnate who was always a breath away from juvie.

To say we were mortal enemies growing up is an understatement.
I avoided him then, and I continue to do so now, even though he’s a cop—who would have thought?

My avoidance tactics worked until the day I needed him.

I took one tiny trip to Vegas, where we ended up drinking far too much.

Big mistake-as in the mother of all mistakes.

We woke up the next morning in bed!
And neither of us can remember what happened.

But wait, it gets worse. So much worse.
That’s not the only thing we did.

The come-to-Jesus moment hits when I see the wedding ring on my finger.
We got married!
I married the devil.

Of course, I want this craziness fixed—ended—returned to the world where I’m not his Mrs.

But he wants us to stay together because he has other ideas.

When he makes me an offer I can’t refuse, I might be desperate enough to accept.
I just hope I don’t lose more than I bargained for in this outlandish scheme.

Like my heart.

EXCERPT

“Maybe if we can remember where we got married we can go back there and tell them we were drunk and made a mistake, so they can fix it.” She’s flipping out. I can see it. “This is Vegas people must do this craziness all the time right?”
“Yeah, yeah,” I agree just to humor her.
“It could be done within the hour, and we could go home and laugh about it and tell everyone we were screwing with them.”
The quiver in her voice suggests she’s about to break. I might make her break faster because even though this is Vegas, you can’t get a marriage annulled within an hour.
“Bree. It’s not exactly as simple as that. It won’t happen that quickly.”
“Well, how long do you think it might take?”
Last I heard it might be a week and that’s if you can get through all the paperwork on time, but I won’t tell her that.
An idea forms in my mind as I stare at her and see how much she’s freaking out.
“It’s going to take a while, Bree. What if I get all the paperwork and take care of everything as best as I can while I put you on a flight home.”
“Home,” she mumbles.
“Yeah. Do you want to go home?”
“Yes, are you sure?”
“Yes.” It’s best if I’m not around her. I need to think.
I married Bree Dawson. Married the girl I used to pick on at school like I breathed air.
Her the goody-two-shoes southern belle and me the kid who was always in and out of juvie.
I married her and I can’t even remember saying I do.

EXCERPT

The party winds down a short while later. I lean against the railing, the water lapping at the boat, and I close my eyes, the night so much better in the quietness.
I snap my gaze toward soft footsteps padding and see Sophia plop down on the white lounge, drag her knees to her chest, and wrap her hands around her legs. The slight breeze ruffles her long black hair, and her gaze lifts to the full moon stretching above.
She rocks herself before she rises to her feet and leans against the railing, her profile mesmerizing—smooth, elegant, pert nose, flawless skin, full lips. Her back stiffens as she senses she’s being watched. She turns her head to me, and vivid blue eyes find mine. Two strangers sharing a moment, but those sad eyes, as if the entire pain of this planet drowned in them, make my jaw tic at how young she is for life to chip at her happy place. But again, the younger it happens, the better the chance of surviving life’s mental fucking. Buckle up, princess.
I push myself off the door frame, and she moves to dart away, but she slips, falling over the railing and right into the water. It happens so fast I blink to make sure it wasn’t a figment of my imagination. I count the seconds, waiting for her to surface. Come on, I am not in the fucking mood to get wet.
Panic hits me, and I dive into the dark sea, my eyes trying to adjust as I drag her up. The air hits her lungs, and while she coughs as I hold her, an inferno builds in my core, taking me by surprise.
“Easy there,” I say as she blinks at me. My grip on her tightens, and her hand darts to stroke my jaw, caressing the day’s stubble. I release her, her touch scalding me.
“I am sorry if I scared you,” she says, her voice sounding like sin wrapped in sweetness as she moves her legs to stay afloat.
“You mean thank you,” I snap.
“Thank you even though I didn’t ask for your help and I didn’t need it either,” she counters. I smirk at her spunk.
“I wouldn’t have bothered if you came right back up.”
“Oh, you’re my hero, you saved my life,” she mocks. “Is this what you want to hear?”
“Learn to swim better,” I say through gritted teeth.
“I can swim,” she rebuts, confidence stirring in her vivid blue eyes. Our eyes lock in a battle of wills and with a speed that I didn’t see coming, she grabs my shoulders and dunks me under the water, trying to hold me down. I push her off and wipe the water from my face. She giggles while I fume.
“You are demented.”
“Hey, that didn’t sound like a question.” She jerks her chin, oozing defiance from every pore of her body.
“Because it wasn’t a damn question.”
“I don’t react well to insults.”
“What comes after trying to drown me?”
She rolls her eyes at me while I am suspended in this moment with her, as if she holds me here by just looking at me.
“I can’t answer that, since I act on impulse.”
She stirs something in me I can’t pinpoint. My reaction to her bothers the hell out of me.
Her teeth chatter, and my hands itch to warm her as she wraps her arms around herself. She turns around, swimming in the opposite direction, not looking back. Smart girl.
At the concrete wall, she pushes herself up, sprints to the boat deck, and ducks through the door. I lift myself up the ladder and snatch a towel, my gaze pinned to the door she disappeared behind.
I get inside and take a cold shower, but all it does is remind me of her in my arms. She’s way too young for me, so why am I this riled up?
In bed, I beat the pillow to a pulp, tossing and turning. I fall into a restless sleep after I vow that tomorrow I will go inside the damn house, do what I’ve come here to do, and leave this place.
