Synopsis

I thought I knew what love was, but I didn’t have a f*%king clue. Now, I’m in the fight of my life to win over the woman who owns my soul. ~ Finn Black

 

 

The face of an angel…

The heart of a saint…

 

One look, one smile, and I didn’t stand a chance. The instant my eyes landed on Presley Chambers, I was a goner. She was a force of nature that turned my world upside down. Sweet, sassy, and sexy as hell, she brought me to my knees.

 

But she isn’t just any woman, she’s a gift, she’s a goddess, she’s my disease… and I’ll fight like hell to erase her fears.

 

Sometimes fate has other plans. Now our future is in her hands.

 

I can only hope she’ll give us the chance we both deserve.

 

 

The idea that someone could possess me was insane… until I met Finn Black.~ Presley Chambers

 

The face of Adonis…

The heart of a hero…

 

Finn Black infiltrated my safe world the minute he breathed my name. He broke down my barriers and convinced me to take a chance. For the first time ever, I was living my life with a man who promised me a future only dreams are made of.

 

Sometimes the line between love and longing are tested.

 

He’s asked me to trust him, to trust us, but the fear of losing him became too much.

 

Now I must decide if I’m willing to take a leap of faith, and hope he’ll be there to catch me.

Not everything dangerous is bad.

From the moment Angelina laid eyes on him, she fell into a fantasy. Mysterious, foreign, gorgeous, Haithem offered her what she needed most—a chance to feel again.

But Haithem is much more than he appears to be. He lives in a world of danger where everything comes at a price.

For Angelina, that price is her future.

He’s made sure the life she’s left behind is in tatters. Made her family believe she’s dead. Still, he talks about protecting her, about keeping her safe, but she can’t distinguish his truth from his lies. She can’t separate her pleasure from his betrayal.

Haithem warned her. He told her he’d make her heart race, her body come alive and her most primal needs rush to the surface. His for the taking.

He didn’t say she’d come to love the devil who’s destroying her, even as he keeps her prisoner.

Author: Melody Grace
Publication Date: March 28th
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Synopsis:

They say that time heals a broken heart, but you try moving on when your ex is the most famous man on the planet.
Every time I walk down the street, there he is on magazine covers and billboards plastered with his gorgeous face: Finn McKay. Now he’s a drop-dead sexy rock star, but when I knew him, he was just the boy from the wrong side of the tracks – and the first guy I ever loved. He broke my heart into a hundred pieces when he skipped town without saying goodbye – but now he’s back.

And he wants me.

I’m determined not to make the same mistakes twice, but the chemistry with Finn was always way too hot to ignore. He was the guy who had me sneaking out my bedroom window for just one more kiss, and breaking curfew parked by the riverbanks, steaming up his windows in the backseat of his car. The past five years have been good to him, real good, and between his dirty mind and that ‘I know how to make you scream’ smile, he’s breaking through my defenses all over again.

Maybe one last wild fling for old time’s sake is what I need to finally move on. But what happens when Finn wants more than my body? This time he wants everything.

Smut AMAZON - CopyWhat happens when the kink between the pages leads to heat between the sheets?

All Blake Crawford wants is to pass his creative writing course, get his university degree and take over his dad’s ailing family business. What Amanda Newland wants is to graduate at the top of her class, as well as finally finish her novel and prove to her family that writing is a respectful career.

What Blake and Amanda don’t want is to be paired up with each other for their final project but that’s exactly what they both get when they’re forced to collaborate on a writing piece. Since Amanda thinks Blake is a pushy asshole (with a panty-melting smirk and British accent) and Blake thinks Amanda has a stick up her ass (though it’s brilliant ass), they fight tooth and nail until they discover they write well together. They also might find each other really attractive, but that’s neither here nor there.

When their writing project turns out to be a success, the two of them decide to start up a secret partnership together using a pen name, infiltrating the self-publishing market in the lucrative genre of erotica. Naturally, with so much heat and passion between the pages, it’s not long before their dirty words become a dirty reality. Sure, they still fight a lot but at least there’s make-up sex now.

But even as they start to fall hard for each other, will their burgeoning relationship survive if their scandalous secret is exposed or are happily-ever-afters just a work of fiction?

Happy Release + 5 Star Review: Midnight Lily by Mia Sheridan – Sign of Love Series… Inspired by Virgo

Midnight Lily

Sign of Love Series – Inspired by Virgo

By Mia Sheridan

Buy : Amazon / B & N / ITunes / Kobo

Synopsis

A standalone romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Archer’s Voice.

Holden Scott is the prince of professional football. At least he was before he lost it all . . . or more to the point, before he threw it all away. Now he’s out of a job, out of the public’s good graces, and perhaps just a little out of his mind. So when a friend offers up his remote lodge in the wilds of Colorado, giving Holden some time away to get his life back on track, he can hardly say no. The last thing he expects is to see a beautiful girl in the woods—one wearing a white, lace dress who appears in the moonlight, and leaves no footprints behind. Is she a dream? A ghost? A product of his muddled imagination? Or something entirely different?

Midnight Lily is the haunting love story of two lost souls reaching for each other in the dark. A tale of healing, acceptance, and the worlds we create to protect our own hearts. It is a story of being lost, of being found, and of being in the place between.

THIS IS A STAND-ALONE SIGN OF LOVE NOVEL, INSPIRED BY VIRGO. Non-Paranormal, New Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to strong language and

5Star

Tracey’s Review

“Happily ever after doesn’t mean a lifetime of perfection. I don’t think anyone believes that happily ever after means there are no unhappy days, even unhappy years. It means loving forever, despite the many reasons it’s easier not to.”

I knew that MIDNIGHT LILY by author Mia Sheridan was going to be a different sort of book. And, let me say that it is like nothing I’ve ever read by Mia. This story is quite the departure, but is none the less magnificent for it.

MIDNIGHT LILY is, by turn, uplifting, nostalgic, heartbreaking, and healing, but it is always, at the heart of it, an epic love story. The characters are beautifully drawn, the story one that comes from an exceedingly gifted author who continues to amaze me with the stories that she crafts. With each page I was both intrigued and drawn in to this beautiful story, and I could not put it down.

I cannot recommend enough that you read this book. Rife with twists, turns, moments of wonder, it must be read to be experienced, because each person will take something different away from the story. MIDNIGHT LILY is an easy 5+ stars for me, and one that fans both old and new should have at the top of their reading lists. Thank you, Mia, for sharing this hauntingly beautiful story with us. You continue to blow me away.

Whispers
in the night lead to sweet surrender . . . but what will the dawn bring?


Anger. Guilt. Sorrow. They’ve
strangled Cole for years-and now they’ve literally damaged him. With his knee
out of commission, Cole knows the road to recovery will be nothing but long and
irritating . . . until his beautiful and determined neighbor offers to
help him in return for a favor. But soon Cole finds himself offering her so
much more. Their unexpected passion lays Cole bare, body and soul. And leaves
him wondering how he’ll walk away before he ruins her life, too.
Gruff, secretive, and coiled with
tension that begs for release, Cole is too intriguing for Serena to resist. The
English accent and brooding brown eyes don’t hurt, either. Their nights are
beyond compare-yet the truths Cole confesses in his darkest moments reveal a
heart bruised almost beyond repair. But Serena’s seen the kindness and support
he shows when she needs it most. Armed with a bottomless well of patience and
devotion, she’ll show Cole just how good it can be to let someone in . . .
