BLURB

They call me a playboy.
Society's pretty pet.
What they don’t know is I’m so much more.
My only directive was to keep her hidden, and safe.
After everything she’s been through I’m the last person to offer comfort and care.
I have little experience with either. Both of us have been broken by our pasts.
But mine is catching up to me, and I would deal with it as I usually do: with total decimation.
But that puts her in the crosshairs, and that’s unacceptable.
Old wounds are peeled back for both of us, and it’s time to face the darkness or she’ll never be able to find the light.
As for me, nothing but darkness waits.
It’s what I want.
It’s what I deserve.

**This is book 3 in the Doubeck Crime Family Series. It is a complete standalone, and contains material suitable for adults only.**

RELEASE BLITZ: Meet Me at Midnight by Melissa Toppen




Title: Meet Me at Midnight
Author: Melissa Toppen
Genre: Friends to Lovers Romance
Release Date: April 29, 2022


BLURB

Meet me at midnight- whispered words from drunken lips.
Lips that I had spent years wanting to kiss.
Lips that I had dreamt about night after night, waking to wonder what if.
What if he noticed me?
What if he wanted me?
What if…
But I quickly learned some things are better left to wonder.
Especially where Levi Mills is concerned.
He didn’t just steal my innocence that night.
He broke every part of me.
Dismantled me from the inside out until there was nothing left of the girl I used to be.
Years passed. Moments faded into the background. Until eventually he became nothing more than a distant memory- a dream that almost didn’t seem real.
But then suddenly he’s there, standing in front of me again like he never left. And in that one heartbeat, in that one breath, I relive it all over again. Every touch. Every word. Like frozen snippets of time suspended in front of my eyes.
And then he smiles that all too familiar smile, meet me at midnight moving soundlessly across his lips.

RELEASE DAY: The Doctor's Daughter by Shari J. Ryan

THE DOCTOR'S DAUGHTER

by Shari J. Ryan

Release Blitz

Release Date: April 28, 2022

Genre: Historical Fiction
Trope: World War II

Synopsis

Auschwitz, 1941: It was her father’s job to save the lives of the SS. But she chose to risk everything and save the lives of prisoners.

In Nazi-occupied Poland, Sofia cannot look her father in the eye. Sofia’s mother, her papa’s cherished wife, is Jewish—how dare he work as a doctor for the SS? She cannot forgive him, even if the bargain was made to spare their lives.

In the middle of the night, Isaac emerges from a packed train with hundreds of others. Beneath Auschwitz’s barbed wire, soldiers surround them, and gunshots pierce the dark sky. The SS decide prisoners’ fates on the spot—and Isaac is chosen to work, rather than to die.

Every day, Isaac and his fellow inmates are sent to a nearby farm. From sunup to sundown, they toil the land with barely a scrap to eat. Every breath feels like it could be Isaac’s last, so when he sees a beautiful auburn-haired girl peering out of the farmhouse window, it feels like a dream…

Sofia refuses to accept what she is seeing. Disobeying her father and evading the guards, she risks her life to sneak a letter to the green-eyed boy outside. She explains that she has hidden them food, and that she’ll do everything in her power to save them.

This secret exchange sparks an escape that should have been impossible—and a love story that is unforgettable. But is love enough in the face of evil? And when Sofia and Isaac are concealed underground, holding their breath as the Nazis hunt them, will they survive?


Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Choice, and Orphan Train will be utterly gripped by this heartbreaking and unputdownable tale. This tear-jerking page-turner shows that even if your freedom has been robbed, and your loved ones torn from you, nobody can steal your hope…

RELEASE BLITZ: One Kind Dance by Christine DePetrillo




Title: One Kind Dance
Series: One Kind Deed #10
Author: Christine DePetrillo
Genre: Steamy Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 28, 2022


BLURB

Secrets had a way of destroying everything.

Trusting the wrong guy has huge consequences. Tessa Collins learned that the hard way and now there’s a black mark next to her name. She’s spent a fair amount of energy trying to outrun that stain, but it will always be there. The best she can do is throw herself into her dance career at The Nalu Resort in Hawaii. Pristine beaches, endless sunshine, and her wonderful best friend have done wonders to heal her soul. As long as she stays away from men, she’ll survive.

But ignoring men is hard. Especially ones that look like resort guest Detective Donovan Henley. When he plays the white-knight role to rescue her from an aggressive vacationer, she’s more than a little intrigued by his protect-and-serve attitude. Getting involved with a sexy Vermont cop who could easily find out all her secrets, however, is asking for disaster. So what if Donovan makes her feel things she’s never felt with anyone else? Tessa isn’t going to let another man disturb her rhythm.

Is one kind dance enough to keep two hearts in step?


One Kind Dance is a vacation-fling, small-town, contemporary romance that features a detective hero who protects the ones he loves and a dancing heroine with a checkered past.

EXCERPT

Tessa had no complaints about watching Donovan in the water. He was a good swimmer and when he took a break to stand, water cascaded down his muscled chest, making Tessa want to lick him dry. She’d caught him gazing at her a few times too, so she knew the feelings were mutual. She wasn’t the only aroused one in the vicinity.
Donovan swam over to her. “Pruning yet?”
“Yup.” She held up her hand to reveal wrinkles on her fingertips. “You?”
“Yeah, and it’s probably time for a sunscreen reapply.”
At that, her eyebrow arched. “Are you volunteering to help me with the hard to reach spots?”
“Of course.” He swept her into his arms and walked toward the shore. “Did swimming help?”
“Totally. My whole body feels relaxed.” Except for all the parts that were currently pressed against his big, hard body. Those parts were like tuning forks, vibrating with need.
“Good.” He arrived at their section of the beach and lowered her to a chair. Digging into his tote bag, he extracted sunscreen. “Is this okay with you?”
“It’s the same SPF 1000 I usually use.”
“Guaranteed to keep you pale under the brightest of suns.” He held out the sunscreen. “Let me know when you need help.”
“I need help,” she said right away, not taking the bottle from him.
A slow grin slid across his face. “Okay then.” He flicked the cap up and squirted some sunscreen into his palm then sat in front of her. Starting at her left foot, he worked his way up her left leg to her thigh, massaging sunscreen into her skin and heating her core with each caress of his rough palms. He gave the same attention to her right leg.
He covered her arms in a similar fashion and motioned for her to sit on the cooler so he could get her back and shoulders. Keeping the moans from sounding wasn’t easy. His slick fingers worked her muscles and made her insides buzz with arousal.
Donovan kissed the back of her neck then gently tugged on the rim of her ear with his teeth. “I’d better let you get your chest and face before things get out of hand on this blanket,” he whispered. His arm came around to the front of her, the sunscreen bottle in his hand.
“Yeah.” She had to clear her throat because she was so far gone over having his hands on her. “Let’s save getting out of hand for later.”
“I can’t wait for later.”

EXCERPT

Sweat drops roll down my back as I tread into the shadowy forest, the looming pine trees blocking most of the sunlight. Adrenaline courses through my veins, causing shivers down my spine with every step I take. Every little sound is another trigger, a tiny mole crawling down into its hole, pine needles rolling across the mossy ground, birds’ wings flapping high above my head.

I pause to look around and listen, my hand on my phone in case I need to let someone know where I am. My head instinctively turns to look back at my car still parked on the side of the road, but the farther I go into the woods, the less it becomes visible, and something about that makes my heart turn icy cold. I’m in the middle of nowhere, and no one knows I’m here.

No one but me.

And him.

I swallow away the nerves as I approach the cabin while firmly clutching my gun. The gun I stole from my father’s arsenal when the guards weren’t looking. They won’t miss one tiny little gun, but it might help me save myself.

Because lord knows what I’ll find.

That man I once knew is gone forever.

At least, that’s what I keep telling myself. I stalk farther and farther into the forest until the road is no longer visible, and all I have left is the pine trees and critters to accompany me.

In the distance, a cabin becomes visible.

I suck in a ragged breath.

Even though it’s not nighttime yet, the darkness surrounding me hums with a kind of electrical current that scatters goose bumps across my skin.

CRACK!

I freeze from the sound of a twig snapping in half.

My heart goes a million miles an hour.

Oh, God. What if it’s him? Am I ready?

I point my gun in the direction of the sound. Straight ahead, near the cabin.

TRSSKK! CRACK!

More noisy rustling … until an axe slowly appears from behind a tree, glinting in the dark.

I gasp in shock, barely able to keep the squeal inside as an almost ungodly muscular but beastly looking man steps out from behind the tree wearing nothing but a short towel around his waist. His long beard and hair are wet and stick to his muscular, tattooed body. His square face is smeared with dirt and blood, and his hooded brown eyes are locked on mine.

Liam.

I can’t even process it’s him because of the state he’s in.

But the second he raises his axe, I regain my senses and aim for his head.

“Don’t come close, or I’ll shoot!” I yell.

He doesn’t say a word, doesn’t even stop, and my hands begin to shake.

I’ve shot a gun before, but never at an actual human being, and the thought is already making me nauseous. But if I must … what other choice do I have? He’s dangerous. He tried to kill my sister, he’ll never stop, and I have to protect her.

C’mon, Jasmine, you can do this.

I click off the safety and yell, “I mean it!”

He stops and looks me dead in the eyes like a killer would when he’s found his target, and something about that makes my entire body start to tremble.

His lips part, his tongue slowly licking his canines as a lopsided smile appears on his face. “Don’t … move.”

His voice is gravelly. Darker than I remember, even from that night he came for her. And the mere sound reminds me of just how far he went to get what he wanted.
