BLURB

Crashing my car and spilling my coffee all over me wasn’t me at my best.

The Maserati owner in the expensive clothes was hotter than the weather in Tennessee.

Sure, part of me didn’t want to argue, but this stranger in town turned something on inside me I thought was dead…

So I brought him to the garage in town, showed him the local hotel, and stayed for dinner.

He’s only in town for the night and, for once, it’s nice when a guy calls me his.

One night away from my life sounds perfect, but, in the morning, I realize Joel had a secret. And that secret can affect my friends.

I knew better than to get involved. So I spilled the beans. I’d see my friends again, not Mr. One Night.

But I didn’t expect he was more. And I misjudged him. I’m not good at apologies.

Letting a guy anywhere in my heart usually ended badly.

But there is nothing usual about Joel.

Nothing could have prepared me for what happened next. I absolutely did not expect what happened. Find out if the BOOM and a sexy stranger change my life, forever.

Until Kendal is part of Aurora Rose Reynolds's Happily Ever Alpha World. If you loved Until Jax, then you will want to read Until Kendal.

AUTHOR BIO

USA Today Bestselling Author, Victoria Pinder grew up in Irish Catholic Boston before moving to the Miami sun though she left that for a while to live in New Orleans, Denver and now Pittsburgh. She started single but the husband and then children joined in on the fun.

She’s worked in engineering, then lawyer, then teacher, and finally novelist. She refused to one day turn 50 and realize she had nothing but her career and hours at a desk.

During all this time and travel, she always wrote stories to entertain herself or calm down. Her parents are practical minded people demanding a job, and Victoria spent too many years living other people’s expectations, but when she sat down to see what skill she had that matched what she enjoyed doing, writing became so obvious. The middle school year book when someone wrote in it that one day she’d be a writer made sense when she turned thirty.

She’s always been amazing, adventurous and assured. It’s what gets her through the day.

Early in life Zander Teager, CEO of Elixir learned that not every Rose is beautiful... then he meets the nerdy, shy Rosemary.

She befuddles me everyday with her precise breakfast habits, baggy flannel shirts, red glasses, canvas shoes, Wolverine wallpaper. Her list of quirks is endless.

I am told to stay away as she battles with extreme anxiety issues.
But things get out of hand at a company party when I declare her my girlfriend to a room full of people.
That night, I learn about her... her wounds, her scars.

EXCERPT

“You were the most beautiful woman today.”
“Then…you didn’t see…other women.” She looks at me from under her bangs, lying flat on her forehead.
“Why would I waste my time looking at anyone else when you are in the crowd, couch girl?” My lips press on her forehead as I try to keep my anxiety for tomorrow in check.
“You mean that?” She releases a deep breath and her hands clutch my arms holding her face.
“I mean every word I say to you, babe.” My lips move from her forehead to her ears.
“Why me, Zander?” She trembles in my arms. Her eyes closed as if she is scared to the know the answer of her own question.
“Because I’m a lucky bastard to have found you, to have you fall in love with me. I’m not going anywhere, Marr. I’m here for keeps.”
“But I-“
My grip on her face tightens as I interrupt her with insistent kisses on her skin. “You are the most amazing woman, who makes my heart stop just by one look.”
“But-“ I put a finger on her lips.
“You can give a million reasons but I’m going nowhere.”
Her breath hitches and she offers me her hand. “Promise?”
You have no idea baby.
I kiss her palm before placing my own hand over hers. “It’s a promise of a life time, couch girl.”






AUTHOR BIO


In those early morning hours when I’m alone, my imaginations run wild and I pen down the life of people living in my head. All my life, I have lived in small towns in different parts of the world. The friendships, the camaraderie that people share around me inspired me to create Cherrywood and St. Peppers, the two towns where all my stories take place.

I write about beautiful coincidences, finding love in unexpected places and times, and fighting hard to get that happily ever after.

I reject to read, see, write anything that does not promise a HEA.
My characters are sexy yet shy, strong yet reserved…

I am married to a man whom I fell in love at an age of 15, proposed him at an age of 23 and married at an age of 30. He has no clue what I write or do when he is snoring quietly in the next room.

BLURB:
Vampires with a vendetta. The Queen of Voodoo. Nasty necromancers. Just another day in my life.

If you need a magical mystery solved, apparently I'm your gal. As the go-to private detective for the supernatural community, I've got every shifter, fae, and ghoul knocking on my door. Now the local vampires have decided to test me by leaving a dead shifter in a public park.

Ever handled a pack of shifters looking for revenge? It's not pretty. And right now, I don't have the time to settle a feud. I have to get to New Orleans and find a necromancer to help me pull my ghoul's soul from the other side. In classic mom fashion, I put my foot down and force the vampires to give up the killer so I can finally head out of town.

The Crescent City springs more surprises on me than a jack-in-the-box and I'm on a roll from the moment we touch down. I accidentally unleash centuries-old magic on a plantation owned by six mundie sisters, and then I'm off and running through the swamps just to evade demons and more vampires.

After I'm forced to seek the help of the infamous Marie Leveau, I'm officially fed up. My best friend is fighting for her life, and by the time I get to the necromancer,]]] I have to stop one of the Houdun Loa from hijacking my attempt to bring Selene's spirit across.

Whatever happens next, I've made it clear to every magical being in bayou country why it's a very bad idea to underestimate me.

EXCERPT

"A strong hand clamps down on my thigh, pulling me out of the growing panic that was clawing through my stomach. I glance down and see a tattooed hand gripping my leg. Stag. God. He shouldn’t be touching me. Heat pools between my thighs and I press my legs together.
“Darlin’,” he growls against my ear so that only I can hear him. His breath is hot against my skin and I resist the urge to shiver. “Behave yourself. I’m no saint and if you keep that shit up, I’ll have my fingers so far inside of your pussy that every brother here will know how you sound when you come.”
My breath hitches and I turn to glare at the asshole who’s making things worse, now my panties are wet. But the fucker just smiles at me and I swallow as I realize just how sexy Stag truly is.
He’s six foot four, his body taut with muscles and from what I can tell, tattoos. He’s bald, but that just adds to his sex appeal, his blue eyes hold a lot of secrets, ones that I want to unfold. His black beard is long and thick. I can’t help but wonder what it’ll feel like when his face is between my thighs.
God, I’m losing my mind. I shouldn’t be thinking about having Stag touch me, let alone eating me out. I’m dancing with danger and there’s only one ending for me. I’m going to get burned."

Author: J.L. Drake
Genre: Mafia Romance
Cover Design: Deranged Doctor Designs
Release Date: March 24, 2022


BLURB

The time has come to take back the power and let the kingdom fall.

Sienna

It’s time to make my move. With solid proof on my finger, I leave my love and enter the gates of the enemy.
Ugo is by my side as we fall into their world and quickly discover the cracks in the Coppola family’s foundation.
I’m confident I’m protected by my father’s name, and though I’m welcomed by the some, I’m watched by the others.

I played my part well—maybe too well, because I think I just changed the future for us all.

Elio

Her mother’s lies blew up my entire world. How could the woman I love have the blood of a monster?
With all eyes intently on me, I turn my back on what is revealed and sink further into what I need to do.
I seek the cover of smoke and mirrors and force back the shadows that want to take me down.

But with any good play there comes a blind spot, and this blind spot might just come with an unexpected body count.

Sienna
Ugo gripped the top of my arm as I swayed in fear in front of a sign that read Dager’s Den.
“Why here?” I couldn’t look at him.
“Because,” I heard him rub his face, annoyed with my questions, “she’s like clockwork. She’d never miss a day to flaunt her power to the other men.”
Sweet Lord.
“I think I might faint.”
He cut me a quick glance then shook his head and cursed.
My entire body froze with fear, and my eyes went wide at the sound of the handle being pulled. The door opened to reveal a woman with eyes as black as coal in a face with skin so white it almost glowed. Her dark hair was pulled tightly back into a bun, and a pair of glasses hung from the collar of her blue blouse. Her perfectly ironed gray slacks stopped at her ankles just above her small-heeled boots. Both hands rested on a glass ball that sat on the top of her black cane. I felt like I had been transported directly into a nasty scene from a Disney movie.
“Ugo.” She only spoke his name then closed her eyes slowly, and when they opened again, they were on me. I stepped back, but Ugo pressed me forward, rooting me back in place. She was like a cobra only inches from my face. It made me want to run and scream at the same time, but my brain seemed to have shorted out at the simultaneous commands.
So, I just stared.
“Nonna Michele,” Ugo addressed her, and I felt him look down at me, “I want you to meet someone.”
A cold chill passed through my body, and I became lightheaded as my heartbeat pulsed in my ears. “This is Theo’s Alessia, your granddaughter.”
She lifted her eyes to stare at him for a brief moment then turned those black pools back to me. Her colorless lips pressed into a hard line as she tried to see inside my soul.
“Prove it.”
I stood frozen, completely unable to respond. She had awakened such a deep fear inside of me I was completely at her mercy.
Ugo reached for my hand and held it up to show her the ring.
She grabbed my hand between her icy fingers and held it close to her face. She closed one eye and twisted the band around and gave a low gasp.
“Impossible.”
