EXCERPT

“Why does this feel so right?” She broke the kiss, blinking up at me with her big honey eyes. 
“Because maybe it is. Maybe we just both have to take a chance.” 
“I can’t do it again. I can’t watch someone I...” She stopped herself, letting out a heavy sigh. Part of me was relieved. I didn’t want to ever hear those words. “I’ll never be the most important thing in your life. I deserve that, Levi. I deserve to come first.” 
Her honesty shook me to the core. Phoebe had scars. The deep kind. The kind I knew I couldn’t fix. The kind I knew I would only rip open if I pursued this thing with her. 
But I couldn’t walk away. 
I couldn’t do it. 
So long as she was on tour with us, we would continue to go around in circles until one of us cracked. Or I fucked things up for good. 
Touching my head to hers, I breathed her in. “I’m not a good guy, Bee, but I’d try to be good for you.” 
A shiver ran through her as she swayed gently. She was drunk. Maybe more than I’d first thought. 
“Come on,” I said, guiding her toward the bed. “You should get some sleep.” 
Phoebe began stripping out of her clothes with haste, as if they were suffocating her. “Stupid shirt,” she groaned as she tried to yank it over her head. 
I stood back, smothering the laughter rumbling in my chest. “Need some help?” 
Her eyes snapped to mine, glittering in the dark. “I can manage.” 
After a couple more failed attempts, I crouched down and nudged her hands away. “Here, let me.” My fingers brushed her bare skin, and she whimpered again. 
My dick strained against my jeans, desperate to feel her again. But the next time I was inside her, I wanted Phoebe to know exactly who she was fucking. 
I pulled back the cover. “In you go.” 
“I can’t believe this happening,” she mumbled. “How embarrassing.” Phoebe buried her face in the pillow. 
I made quick work of stripping down to my boxers and climbed in bed beside her. She tried to roll away, putting as much space between us as possible. 
But fuck that. 
I hooked my arm around Phoebe’s waist and pulled her back against my chest. 
“Levi, we can’t snuggle...” 
“Why the fuck not?” I tangled my legs with hers, fighting the urge to press my hard length right up against her ass. 
“Because I’m your assistant and you’re...” She let out a little huff of frustration. 
“It’s okay, honeybee,” the nickname rolled off my tongue as easy as breathing, “you can say it. I’m the best sex you’ve ever had.” I breathed against the shell of her ear. 
Her sweet laughter filled the small room. “You’re definitely the biggest ego I’ve ever had.”

RELEASE BOOST: Forgot to Tell You Something by M.L. Broome




Title: Forgot to Tell You Something
Author: M.L. Broome
Genre: Steamy Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 10, 2020


BLURB

Play by the Rules… 

What do you get when you mix a dive bar, a worn velvet couch, and a discussion about goats? 

The night I met Owen, obviously. 

Talk about the unexpected. I sought out my private nook in Wicked Chucks, looking for a good view of the band. Instead, I got a front-row seat to the most delicious man I’ve ever seen. 

He’s everything I never knew existed but being with him means breaking my own rules. 

I didn’t invent the rules, but I play by them. 

Rules maintain order. 
Rules keep me focused. 
Okay, rules suck, but they also keep me safe. 

Now, I have a man who wants to toss out my rule book and create a new one. Together. 


Some Rules are Meant to be Broken… 

What do you get when you combine a tiny woman with a mile-wide stubborn streak, unwavering dating rules, and a hard-hitting passion? 

My current situation. 

I went to Wicked Chucks for the music, but I met Tally instead, right after she crashed through the balcony door and into my arms. 

The first thing I realized? She’s a total klutz. The second? I was staring into the face of the woman I’d been eyeing all night, and she was even more beautiful up close. But when she started discussing blood oaths and goats, her coolness factor skyrocketed. 

No joke, this woman is made for me. She’s gorgeous, funny, and sexy without trying. 

Only one small problem—she has rules. Two of them are cake. The last one? That might be a problem.

EXCERPT

“I don’t want to know how many women you kissed to have a mouth that talented,” I purr, running my thumb along his lower lip. 
“I had to be perfect for you.” Owen clears his throat, that low, gravelly chuckle rising up from his chest. He steps in between my legs, hiking my skirt up to very unladylike heights. Not that I’m complaining. “Enough about the type of men you won’t date. Tell me about the men you will.”
I tap my finger against my chin as I bite back a smile. “Let’s see. Well, he has to be smart.”
“Two plus two is four.”
I giggle, gliding my hands along the planes of his chest. “Genius level, sir. He also has to be kind.”
“I helped an old lady just last night.”
I guffaw, my eyes widening. “You’d better not be referring to when you picked my ass up off the ground, buddy.”
He’s got the most endearing smile. Some smiles are too perfect—the teeth sculpted and whitened to a neon glow—but his are straight and white without dipping into social media influencer territory. The dimples sure aren’t hurting his cause, either, or the way he catches his lower lip with his teeth. “Definitely not referring to you, although having you in my arms was the highlight of the evening.”
I’m tempted to look away from his intense stare, but opt to meet it head-on. My fingers slide down his torso, hooking in his jeans, and I feel his breath hitch. “Most importantly, he needs to know how to touch me.”
Oblivious to the crowd, Owen cups my ass, bringing me against him. His mouth drips kisses along my jaw as his fingers run the length of my spine. “I could spend years touching you and never get bored. Just say the word, and I’ll take you back to my hotel where I’ll spend the rest of the night exploring every inch of this delicious body.”
“Interesting proposition.”
“I told you earlier, Tally. It’s a promise I’m dying to keep.” His hands frame my face and everything—all preconceived notions, past events, and broken hearts—fly out the window. “Tell me what you want, Tally.”
I curl my fingers into his belt loops, pulling him flush against me. I feel his erection straining, and it takes everything in my power to not slide my hand along him. “Kiss me like you can’t hold back a second longer.”
“I can’t.” He winds one hand into my hair, forcing my head back, as he nuzzles my neck, dropping kisses along my collarbone. His free hand fingers the zipper of my dress, tantalizing me with promises of all the places he’ll kiss if I only say the word.
He tongues a path up my neck, nipping at my earlobe, his breath hot against my skin. All the while, I feel his fingers lowering my zipper, pushing my limits, seeing how far I’ll let him travel in such a public space. 
“Owen,” I murmur, my nails scratching along his arms as every nerve cell fires at once. He tightens his grip in my hair before capturing my lips. His tongue traces along the roof of my mouth at an achingly slow pace. Teasing me. Priming me. When I slide my tongue against his, eager to take part, he pulls my hair. 
He wants complete control, and I want to give it to him. He delivers his delicious brand of torture until I’m heady with lust. 
A drunken bar patron jostles us, jolting us from our moment. I run my tongue along my upper lip, holding Owen’s stormy gaze. “What am I going to do with you, Owen?” I manage to whisper.
He slides his hand under my dress, his thumb circling my clit, and I whimper in surprise. I’m never this forward, but with Owen, I don’t want him to stop. 
Screw public indecency. Owen is so worth the ticket. 
His mouth settles against my lips, while his fingers slide inside me, and I writhe against his hand, desperate for more. “Everything, Tally.”

I take a deep breath before standing and glancing around. It feels like everything moves in slow motion. The bullets fly but I can’t hear a damn thing. One bullet rips through my side as I spin around to fire at whoever it was that shot me. Our eyes lock and just as I’m about to pull the trigger, he fires first. Each bullet hits me, knocking the air from my lungs. Pain radiates through my body as I slowly fall to the floor. The last person I see…is him.

A mistaken identity romance. 

When a hard knock raps on her door, Amber Collins doesn't want to answer it. 

She knows it'll be a battle she won't be able to win.

At twenty-one years old, she's struggling to make ends meet, but she would endure anything for her six month old nephew whose big green eyes bring a smile to her face on the worst of days.

COVER REVEAL: Collateral Damage by Giulia Lagomarsino

 Release Date: December 7


This is the second book in The Cortell Brothers series. It is recommended they are read in order.

Robert
I fell in love with her in high school and I knew then that she would be mine. But life interfered. She moved halfway across the country and I went to college.
I knew she moved back home. I knew that her mother had died. 

But I did nothing. 

I was ashamed. I had walked away from her, thinking it was best for both of us. Now, thirteen years later, I can't leave her alone anymore. 

I need her, but convincing her that we can still be together is going to be difficult. I hurt her bad when I left, but that's just the beginning of our problems.

Anna
I fell in love with him under the stars. He was my savior when everything in my life was crumbling. But then he was gone and I was all alone again.

Thirteen years later, he's back and he wants me. But I'm too angry. The only reason I'm even speaking to him is he helped me get a job...with his brother. Now I've been caught up in some kind of game he and Eric have going, and I'm stuck with him.

I hate him. But I still love him.

It would be so easy to fall back in love with the man he is now. Deep down, he's the same person, just dressed fancier. But that's the crux of our problem. We're different people than we were in high school.

I just can't see this working, and if we keep trying to go down this road, it'll only end in heartache.

How does one become a romance author? 
It all started on a whim after I suggested supporting my family by donating plasma. My husband responded in his thick Slovakian accent, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.”
 
And my journey began! 
I thought about what I like to read, and tapped into my goofy personality. I try to add humor to all of my books, even those of a more serious nature. I seek to create unique characters and hope that each book is different from the last. 
Mostly, I just enjoy writing and hope that my readers get a thrill out of the books.

ABOUT ANA 


Ana Balen was born in Zagreb, Croatia, where she still lives with her husband, their son (read boss!) and the son’s pet rabbit named Shhh! (or some other gibberish that’s the favorite of their son for the day.)
She spends her days driving her husband up the wall (when he can’t get her ass up from the bed in the mornings), reading and daydreaming, or following orders from a three-year-old. In the hectic life she leads (and loves every second of it), she never thought about writing. But, then one day a name popped in her head, then, the snippets of things, and she sat down and started typing. Next thing, she wrote a book. And now, she’s about to release her seventh!
