COVER REVEAL: Infernium by Keri Lake




Title: Infernium
Series: Nightshade #2
Author: Keri Lake
Genre: Dark Gothic Paranormal Romance
Cover Design: Hang Le
Release Date: June 14, 2022


BLURB

Pain is an abyss.

How naive of me to think I’d already reached the very depths of it when fate shook my world with a crushing blow. It turns out, there are fathomless levels of pain, like a winding labyrinth of doors leading to shadowy figures and long-forgotten secrets. The kind of inescapable descent into madness that twists nightmares into reality.

What lies at the end of this obscure path I have yet to discover, but where it begins, is a place called Infernium. An asylum, feared by those in Nightshade and untrodden by the angels who’ve forsaken its many lost souls.

Some say it’s the gateway to hell.

Others believe it’s where you go when the last flicker of hope dies out.

For me, it’s where I’ve damned myself for eternity–my penance for a crime against the heavens, and home to the demons that claw at my mind.

Yet, not even they stand a chance against my dark angel, Jericho. He fears nothing. Except losing me.

The longer I remain trapped, though, the stronger this darkness inside of me grows. A duality dividing my heart between love and revenge.

And, soon, saving me may no longer be an option.

Danny Walker, my big brother’s arrogant, handsome, and completely unobtainable best friend.

He’s a millionaire tech tycoon, and I take calls from angry clients who can’t reset their passwords.

He lives in a Grade II listed mansion with holiday homes worldwide, and I rent a room in a flat-share with my best friend and mice.

Our worlds couldn’t be further apart.

Falling for him is not an option.

Eight years ago, I made the mistake of flirting with him only to be rejected…hard.

To this day, he won’t acknowledge me as anything more than his best friend’s silly little sister. Which is fine because I can’t stand to be around that emotionless CEO.

Regardless of him being the hottest man I’ve ever met.

Now I find out he’s bought the company I work for, making him my boss’s boss’s boss.

And he wants to get rid of me.

Danny Walker is not a man to be messed with.

But perhaps there’s more behind his cold, detached stares than I thought.

Stone-faced ruthless CEOs don’t fall for scatty girls like me. Or do they?


Taming Mr. Walker is a standalone, full-length sizzling office enemies-to-lovers romance starring a brooding CEO and a feisty, sarcastic younger heroine.

PRE-ORDER BLITZ: Ballsy by Elise Faber

Ballsy by Elise Faber releases on April 26th!
https://geni.us/Ballsy
Available on All Platforms


Kailey Henderson dealt in code.

Well, code, social anxiety, and online gaming.

What she didn’t deal in was sexy hockey players.

And she certainly didn’t deal in sexy hockey players like Connor Smith. He was brass. He was loud. He was funny and charming and…ballsy.

Kailey was about the furthest thing from ballsy someone could find.

Connor didn’t seem to care. From the moment she’d showed up at the rink to help her friend set up a player development program for the Baltimore Breakers, he had led a campaign to win her heart.

The thing was, Kailey didn’t actually want her heart to be won, and the more Connor campaigned, the more she resisted. And…the more she resisted and argued and pushed back, the more she found out that she actually could be ballsy.

And the worst thing about that?

It made Connor campaign even harder.

About the Author:

She and her husband also play as much hockey as they can squeeze into their schedules, so much so that their typical date night is spent on the ice. Elise changes her hair color more often than some people change their socks, loves sparkly things, and is the mom to two exuberant boys.

One former military security specialist.
Plus, one independent mechanic in trouble.
Equals a wrenching dilemma that puts them in the middle of a cartel war out of control.

Until the sweet little mechanic he's had his eye on finds herself in a whole mess of trouble.

Turning to the only man she trusts besides her father, she seeks Dirks' assistance and that's when things get out of control.

Dani and Dirks find themselves fighting not one, but two drug cartels as they battle each other. It shouldn't involve them at all, except Dani has a secret and that may get them killed.

EXCERPT

She poked her head around the Thunderbird and looked at Bryant. “Honestly, does everyone know?”
Bryant’s brows pulled together, “Know what?”
Parker looked at her and laughed. “You did it to yourself this time, Dani.” He turned to Bryant. “Dani has a hot date tonight with Dirks.”
Her cheeks and ears felt like they’d caught on fire.

Author: Anna Michael
Genre: Steamy Contemporary Romance
Romantic Comedy
Release Date: April 21, 2022


BLURB

They call me "Big Balls." And they're not wrong when it comes to how I play and the risks I take. I'm all about football, winning, and loyalty. I never compromise when it comes to my daughter. After my wife died, I took the role of single father to the next level. Nobody, and I mean nobody, will ever come between us. Not even the unbelievably sexy nanny I hired. She's off limits, and that's the way it should be. Even though I can't keep my mind or my hands off her.

With a reputation like his, I know I should steer clear. Do my job and nothing more. But when the NFL's star player looks at me like he's looking at a Superbowl Ring, my knees go weak, my toes curl, and my lips ache for his kiss. I need to hold my ground and keep him at arm's length, especially since he's making a play to win my heart. I can't afford to play games with him. Especially when I know I'm the one who will lose in the end.

A Rescue. A Scandal. A Spy In Their Midst...
A Season for Smugglers by Golden Angel is NOW LIVE!

Universal: https://geni.us/ASeasonForSmugglers

BLURB:
Will his daring debutante rescue reveal the traitor to the crown?

Lily Davies' first - and final, if she has anything to say about it - Season in London is mercifully coming to an end. Exhausted by the parade of balls, importuning gentlemen, and the endless dismissal of her suspicions about a certain captain, Lily wants nothing more than to return to her quiet life of country walks and intensive study. Unfortunately for this bluestocking, she is besieged en route to Derbyshire and kidnapped by a highwayman.

In London to assist his brother, the brand new Earl of Talbot, Captain Nathan Jones is on the hunt for the traitor to the crown. But when it becomes clear that Miss Davies' life is very much in danger, Captain Jones is dispatched to ensure the reluctant debutante travels safely. Escorting her safely home will also give him the perfect opportunity to question Miss Davies about the highly dubious gifts she's been receiving from the French.

As Captain Jones becomes the unlikely hero to a very uncooperative damsel in distress, he quickly learns that rescuing Miss Davies is only the beginning of his troubles. One unfortunate compromise leaves this pair with no choice but to head for the altar, and the unnecessary distraction just might ruin his opportunity to uncover the identity of the traitor once and for all.

PRE-ORDER BLITZ: Somewhere in Between by Natalie Parker




Title: Somewhere in Between
Series: Turn It Up #7
Author: Natalie Parker
Genre: Rockstar/Age Gap Romance
Release Date: May 6, 2022


BLURB

Josh
As the withdrawn, unsocial rhythm guitarist for one of the country’s hottest rock bands, my role in this world is like second nature. I’m not much of a people person, thanks to my upbringing, and have zero trust in those who try to get close.
I play hard, both on and off stage, and with the exception of my bandmates, I have no interest in making connections, women included.
So I use my sparkling personality to maintain my broody image while shredding my guitar on stage, and keep people at a safe distance.
Avoiding our new assistant on this tour should be a no-brainer. She’s everything I should want to push away :
Beautiful, smart, driven… and way too damn young.
She’s even doing me a favor, ignoring me, content to leave me to my broody stewing… and it’s driving me out of my mind.

Bobbi
All I’ve ever wanted to do is work in the music business, to learn the ropes from the ground up and be a band manager someday.
So when the chance to intern on a rock tour for one of the most acclaimed bands in the country, I jump on it, determined to give it my all and not let anything get in the way of proving myself – including the band’s handsome but aloof guitarist.
His snarky attitude and god-like physique are proving to be a harder challenge than I thought, however, but not nearly as much as the way he looks at me. While I’m determined not to be the cliché assistant that falls for her rock star boss, it’s near impossible not to crave his yearning and possessive gaze. The way he makes me feel like so much of both a woman and a girl is addictive, and I’m in danger of losing sight of what I came here to do.
If anyone finds out about us, I could lose my chance at a future in the music industry.
If I fall for him, I could lose myself.
