TORN - cover

Torn between duty and survival, nothing can be the same.

Everything Ivy Morgan thought she knew has been turned on its head. After being betrayed and then nearly killed by the Prince of the Fae, she’s left bruised and devastated—and with an earth-shattering secret that she must keep at all costs. And if the Order finds out her secret, they’ll kill her.

Then there’s Ren Owens, the sexy, tattooed Elite member of the Order who has been sharing Ivy’s bed and claiming her heart. Their chemistry is smoking hot, but Ivy knows that Ren has always valued his duty to the Order above all else—he could never touch her if he knew the truth. That is, if he let her live at all. Yet how can she live with herself if she lies to him?

But as the Fae Prince begins to close in on Ivy, intent on permanently opening the gates to the Otherworld, Ivy is running out of options. If she doesn’t figure out who she can trust—and fast—it’s not only her heart that will be torn apart, but civilization itself.

EXCERPT:

I lifted my right hand, reaching for my iron stake out of instinct, even though I knew it would do no good against the prince.

“You shouldn’t do that.” His voice was deep with what reminded me of an English accent. “I know you want to, but it would be very, very unwise of you, Ivy.”

My hand twitched.

Creepy Prince smiled slightly. “Your friend has been very helpful.”

That got my hackles up. I slid my sunglasses onto my forehead and forced my tone to stay calm and level. “I’m sure she has. Speaking of Val, happen to know where I can find her?”

His lips curled in a semblance of a smile as he stepped closer. The prince was tall, taller than Ren, who was pushing six foot two. My entire back stiffened as I forced myself to hold my ground, even though every instinct demanded that I run and run super fast, because he had almost killed me once before. Correction. He would have definitely killed me if he hadn’t realized what I was and had, I guessed, healed me.

“I’ve been waiting for you,” he said, instead of answering my question, his pale blue eyes fixed on mine.

My hand curled into a useless fist. “That is extremely creepy to hear.”

That cold smile returned. “Why don’t we talk? There are seats across the way.”

“Yeah, that’s not going to happen.”

The slow smile increased but never reached his eyes. “Oh, I know it is.”

Fine hairs rose on my arms.

“What exactly can you do right now?” he said in the same coldly polite voice. “Refuse me?” Creepy Prince laughed, and it wasn’t a bad sound. Again, it was something that was just cold, as if he were mimicking what a human would do. “You can’t.”

“I can.” My palm itched to grab the thorn stake secured under my pant leg, but I held still. I might be reckless, but I wasn’t stupid.

“Really? I will have to beg to differ on that. You see, humans surround us. So many of them, and I have an extraordinary appetite.” His eyes appeared to glimmer as his gaze slithered from the top of my curly head down to my toes. “A rather impressive appetite for many, many things.”

“Okay. First off, ew.” My lip curled. “Secondly, I don’t want to hear about any of your appetites.”

One dark eyebrow rose. “Oh, but you should know that I could kill twenty of these humans in less than five seconds and feed on the rest, leaving them to believe that it was this little red-headed girl who murdered these innocent people.” His voice dropped even lower as he leaned in and icy air brushed my cheek. “You deny me this, those lives will be on your hands, little bird.”

Anger flushed hotly as my eyes met his. There wasn’t a single part of me that doubted anything he said. He had me. God, I hated to admit it, but he had me.

She’s forbidden to me. But she gets me.We’re slowly being torn apart by everything we love.

Everything we want. Everything we desire.I know it’s wrong.

but I need to make her
mine
Excerpt
 

Prologue Kenzi one day old, Toren fifteen years old…“We want you to be her Godfather,” Asher says as he gently lays his newborn baby into my arms. I have to tear my gaze away from her incredible green eyes to look up at him from the chair I’m cradling the baby in.

“Me?” I glance quickly over at Ember in the hospital bed, who beams back at me with a tired, yet genuine smile.

“Yes, you,” they both say at the same time. “If it wasn’t for you, we probably never would have met,” Ember adds, grabbing Asher’s hand. “And we wouldn’t have this beautiful little baby. We know you’ll always protect her.”

“That’s right, man. You’re Uncle Tor now.”

I’m an uncle. And my two best friends are parents. And we’re all fuckin’ under sixteen.

But Kenzi Allyster Valentine would change us all forever. She needed us.

“Wow. I’m honored, guys. No doubt, I’ll always be here for her.”

I kick back the pang that hits my stomach. I didn’t get the girl…but I got something I never expected. A gift in the form of a little tiny hand wrapped tightly around my finger, huge eyes like jade gems staring up into mine like I was the most amazing person in the friggen’ world, and the first glimpse of a heart-stopping smile.

That was it.
She owned me.
My niece.
My god-daughter.

The love of my life.

Torn Review Tour

Synopsis

 New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy mixes business with pleasure in the second book of her sexy Billionaire Bachelors Club series …

Marina Knight came to this party for one thing only: to slap Gage Emerson in the face. Poised to snatch up her family’s real estate empire, the sexy tycoon is on the verge of making an enemy for life—even if he can make her melt with a single kiss …

When Gage discovers that the alluring woman before him is the key to his latest acquisition, claiming her as his suddenly doesn’t seem quite so cut-and-dried. To get what he wants, he must get to know the fierce woman willing to face him down—as she steadily steals his heart.

Gage’s persistence and intense passion war with Marina’s determination to protect her family. As they delve deeper into an affair they didn’t see coming, Marina’s torn: Will she lose her heart to Gage—or everything she holds dear?

 My Review

bigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472

Holy Hotness!!!  The chemistry between Gage and Marina is smoldering.  This book had me fanning myself and my girl parts doing the happy dance.

Marina  Knight feels like her family sees her as a lost cause. They handed her the family’s bakery to run because they figured that she could not screw that up.  She has worked really hard to try to prove to them that she is a valuable asset to the family business. When her families empire starts to crumble, all of the hard work that she has put into the bakery may no longer matter.  She decides that she needs to market her business and goes to a networking event to meet possible business owners that might be willing to add some of her baked goods to their menus. And of course, as fate would have it, she crosses paths with the very man that might end up stealing her future.

Gage Emerson is here on a mission.  Find a member of the Molina family and convince them to sell him the property where Autumn Harvest currently resides.  He knows he can buy the property fix it up and sell or lease it and make a killing.  Then he sees her and his plan gets put on the back burner.   She is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.  He feels butterflies in his stomach as he approaches her.  Almost immediately sparks begin to fly and he finds himself all choked up and struggling to speak to her.  And before he knows it he has insulted her and she is storming out the door.

I love the banter between Marina and Gage.  It seems as if neither of them has a filter when they are around one another.  Especially Gage.  Which is hysterically funny.  I really enjoyed the ass Gage made of himself time and time again.  Marina is perfect for Gage because she is Sassy Sicilian who calls him out on the rug.

“I am not forcing you into anything, Marina,” he says softly, his eyes glowing as they drink me in.  “Unless…you like it that way.”

Well, holy shit.  The man needs duct tape wound around his mouth about twenty times. He says the worst things ever.  “Did you really just say that?”

“Did I really just say what?”

“Is it just me you say idiotic, sexist, disgusting things to, or do you talk this way to all the women you encounter?”

He cracks his eyes open.  “Did I just really say that out loud?”

“Yep,” I confirm, enjoying his absolute misery.

This is just a taste of the witty banter between Gage and Molina that had me turning the pages until I finished this book at midnight last night.  I have never laughed so hard and at the same time been so turned on.  Gage can charm a girl out of her panties with just one heated look.

If you like hot headed Sicilian and man who cannot keep his foot out of his mouth, you will love Torn.
