Kami

Once upon a time, I kissed my best friend’s older brother, the heir to the Medlock family fortune and the one man who held my heart in his hands. I knew what he was and who he would become, and I didn't care … until he was taken from me.

 

Charged with murder, I lost him for four years, years I waited because there could be no one else for me, because I loved him with ever shred of my broken heart.

 

Then the heir returned, no longer a boy but a man with hunger in his eyes and a bounty on his head. He warns me to stay away and I know I should listen, but I was never good at following orders.

 

Darius

One upon a time, I took something I shouldn't have — a kiss from the lips of my sister's best friend. It shouldn't have meant anything, yet it stirred something in me, something hot and primal.

 

But I know better now. I have seen the evil lurking in the bowels of our city waiting to devour sweet, innocent, little girls who don't belong. She might set my blood on fire and tempt my soul, but Kamari Reid needs to stay away from me, away from my world before the men looking for me find her.

 

Because here's the thing, I don't give a shit what happens to me, but if they touch her, I will annihilate every last one of them even if I have to burn the city to the ground.

Max ~

Have you ever had that niggling feeling that no matter how perfect things appear, something is about to come along and wreck it all?

That’s how Max Sheridan feels. And it all centers around Shayna’s ex-husband, Duncan Kane, Hollywood’s favorite action star. While Max can’t prove he’s behind Shayna’s stalker, he knows it in his bones. Men as controlling and abusive as Kane never give up.

On top of all of that, his past deals him a blow that leaves him reeling. He can’t walk away from it, but he’s afraid Shayna can’t embrace it. Only time will tell.

Shayna ~

Perfection. That’s the word Shayna Moore would use to describe her life. She found a wonderful man who treats her well and puts her first. She quit her old job, and exciting new opportunities are ahead.

Until a box appears on her doorstep and brings her past back to haunt her. All her old fears come rushing back, threatening to crush her.

And Max needs her…now more than ever. Can she face her fears, or will it swallow her whole?

When she comes face to face with her stalker, she has to be brave and believe in the love she’s found, but will it be enough to keep her alive until Max comes for her?

 

*Note from author: Max (Kincaid Security & Investigations Book 5) should be read prior to reading Sheridan.*








So who am I?

Well, I’m the crazy girl with an imagination that never shuts up. I LOVE scary movies. My friends laugh at me when I scare myself watching them and tell me to stop watching them, but who doesn’t love to get scared? I grew up in a small town nestled in the southern mountains of West Virginia where I spent days roaming around in the woods, climbing trees, and causing general mayhem. Nights I would stay up reading Nancy Drew by flashlight under the covers until my parents yelled at me to go to sleep.

Now, I live in a small town in West Virginia where I entertain my niece and nephew and watch the cats get teased by the birds and laugh myself silly when they swoop down and then dive back up just out of reach. The cats start yelling something fierce…lol.

I love books, I love writing books, and I love entertaining people with my silly stories.

Gisela's Passion, a retelling of Giselle
Ever since she can remember, 18-year-old Gisela Winry has wanted to dance. Her strict father sees dancing as the path to immorality, licentiousness and debauchery. Devastated at his wrath after she secretly auditions and wins the title Harvest Queen of Ylvaton, Gisela turns to her best friend, Hilarion, who proposes a path she cannot take. With their friendship broken, Hilarion retreats to the solace of the forest where he lets his hatred and jealousy fester. Meanwhile, Gisela meets Vincent, a young nobleman seeking to escape his dead brother’s shadow.

When she realises her father has ignored the importance of ancient ritual, Johara must find a way to break free and avert the gathering catastrophe, or risk the annihilation of her people and their way of life.

Haunted by the horrors of war, Erik has given up hope of ever finding anything truly worth fighting for. When a twist of fate allows his path to cross Johara's, everything changes and he begins to hope there might yet be a chance at happiness. But can he embrace life and the spitfire princess who never does as she's told, running headlong into danger at every turn? Or will he let that, too, slip through his fingers?



 


Award-winning and USA Today Bestselling Author, Astrid V.J. was born in South Africa. She is a trained social anthropologist and certified transformational life coach. She currently resides in Sweden with her husband and their two children. In early childhood, she showed an interest in reading and languages—interests which her family encouraged. Astrid started writing her first novel at age 12 and now writes fantasy in a variety of genres, exploring her passion for cultures and languages. When she isn’t writing, Astrid likes to read, take walks in nature, play silly games with her children, do embroidery, and play music.

 

Astrid writes transformation fiction: incorporating transformation principles in novels, rather than writing another self-help book. She loves exploring the human capacity for transformation and potential to achieve success in the face of adversity. Astrid is interested in minority group questions, considerations on social standards of beauty and the negative consequences these have, and would like to make the fantasy genre accessible to people of non-white, non-Christian backgrounds. Astrid feels the fantasy genre has become too restrictive with limited representations of race, ethnicity and culture. She seeks to explore other paths on this writing journey, incorporating her background in anthropology and psychology to create engaging experiences, which also provide food for thought on the diverse topics she finds most important. These include: racism, minority rights, cultural diversity, culture change, intolerance, humanity’s environmental impact, the representation of people on the autism spectrum in among the general populace, the human capacity for transformation, and much more.

Title: Monstrous
Author: Harper A. Brooks
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Cover Designer: Atlantis Book Design
Publication Date: June 19th, 2023
Hosted by: Lady Amber's PR


Blurb:

The dark voices aren’t real, they say.

They tell me it’s all in my head.

But the monsters want to play, you see.

So they’ll come for me in my bed.

~

 

I’m still haunted by the monsters of my past.

 

And they remember me, too…

 

All I want is to feel normal. But the pills that numb the pain end up stripping me of who I am until I’m left feeling hollow.

 

When I stop taking them, I can see clearly again, and after so much darkness and tragedy, I’ve found myself.

 

Then come the voices…

 

Monsters.

 

Three of them.

 

Dark shadowy things that I thought only dwelled in my nightmares—they’re real. And they’ve been waiting for me to come home.

 

They want to open my mind to things I can hardly imagine, in my life and in the bedroom. But I’m scared. I’ve been running from my fears for years, and now these monsters want to claim me as theirs.

 

They promise me protection from a far more dangerous threat, an evil that tried to take my life before and wants to finish the job.

 

Am I losing my mind?

 

Can this really be happening?

 

I have a bad feeling that no matter what I do, I’m going to be devoured in the end.

 

**Monstrous is an ultra steamy paranormal romance novella. This standalone is meant for those who like to embrace the things that go bump in the night instead of running from them.**

NEWLY RELAUNCHED!

#TitleReveal - A Tangle of Fate by @AuthorCaseyBond

 


Title: A Tangle of Fate

Author: Casey L. Bond

Genre: YA Epic Fantasy

Editor: Stacy Sanford/ The Girl with the Red Pen

Cover Designer: Melissa Stevens/ The Illustrated Author Design Services

Blurb: The Blurb Doctor

Publication Date: August 18th, 2023

Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR



Blurb:
Two Hearts. One Curse.

 

Once upon a time, in anger and desperation, a witch cursed Fate. It was not without consequence…

 

“Some things once damaged, cannot be made whole again. I fear I am one of those

things.”

 

Cursed at birth, Mirren has grown up watching her loved ones suffer with worry,

wondering when Death will come for her. Just as she begins to stretch her wings and

seek out the future she never thought she’d have by accepting the honor of becoming

Cauldron City’s emissary to the Kingdom of Nautilus, the curse takes root and her

heart begins to falter… 

 

In a moment of righteous fury, Mirren binds Fate into human flesh so that he will feel

what it is to live and love and have it all ripped away. To know pain so deep, nothing

and no one can ease it. 

 

She assumes her magic, like her heart, is too weak to do as she commands until the

night Fate finds her, rage simmering in his dark eyes as he demands she break her

spell. He claims he never knew she existed, proposing that someone or something hid

her from his sight, then vows to uncover who is truly responsible for her misery and

make them pay for every second. In return, all she must do is unbind him.  

 

If only she knew how…  If only her heart wasn’t failing…

 

Their futures are uncertain, their presents interwoven. When Mirren tries to break the

binding curse, she nearly dies, and Fate without his full power is unable to heal her.

He must find a way to keep her heart beating, and she must find a way to break the spell. Not all curses die with their makers; some become eternal. The repercussions,

should Fate be forever bound, are unspeakable.

She writes phoenixes – gloriously flawed and morally gray characters that fiercely rise from the ashes of their circumstances. World building is one of her favorite hobbies, along with stamping metal jewelry, swimming, and enjoying the beauty of nature. She thinks thunderstorms are better than coffee and that watching a meteor shower is the closest thing to magic you might ever see.
