Insta-Coffee The king is dead. Ellevail has fallen. And I’ve been kidnapped by an annoyingly sexy, shadow-wielding prick.

When Kade Blackthorn kidnapped me in the middle of the siege, he sealed his fate. I will never trust his lies again.

With the marriage trials interrupted and my father dead, the throne is at risk of falling into the hands of his duplicitous royal advisor. But being hundreds of miles from home, there’s nothing I can do until I find a way to escape the arrogant man who stole my heart. No matter the cost.

Trapped in a kingdom that shouldn’t exist, brutality, betrayal, and a tyrannical king are just a few obstacles standing in my way of returning home. Now Kade has a prophecy of his own. One that seems too connected to my own to be a mere coincidence. Falling for him made me vulnerable once before, and it`s a mistake I won’t make again.

The fate of Brookmere is at stake, so I will bury my feelings, escape my possessive captor, and return to those I left behind.

Even if doing so breaks my heart all over again.

Shadows of Ruin is the second book of The Broken Prophecy Series, a slow burn, NA / adult romantasy. Readers are encouraged to review the list of content notes inside before diving into this enemies-to-lovers, shadow daddy romance.

Insta-Coffee The threat to all werewolves draws Amir and Oliver together, even as their wounds threaten to rip them apart.

Trust is Earned (Medically Necessary 1): Amir is a General Practitioner for magical creatures, particularly werewolves. When the leader of all werewolves comes to him with a problem that presents like psychosis, Amir needs help. Oliver’s nursing a grieving heart and a chip on his shoulder. Still, when Amir asks for his help, he jumps at the chance. The submissive wolf is beautiful.

Trust is Fraught (Medically Necessary 2): As the leader of the werewolves sinks further into insanity, Amir and Oliver fight prejudice and time to rescue their alpha. As Oliver and Amir are pulled deeper into the dangers of the psychic world, their love may be the only thing keeping them sane.

Trust is Sacred (Medically Necessary 3): Oliver’s terrible secret is eating him alive. Amir thinks purging and confession are medically necessary for spiritual and physical well-being, but Oliver will stop at almost nothing to hide his scars.

Can either of them learn to trust?

Excerpt from Trust is Earned

He had tended to different members of the Tilthos and Merle werewolf packs over the years. Being positioned in southern Erie County, located in Upstate New York, had been the best thing he could do for his medical practice. Once he’d finally convinced Nicholas Black of the Merle pack in Buffalo, New York, to work with him as the werewolf equivalent of a midwife, his office was often full to bursting with pregnant female werewolves. emilycarrington

Insta-Coffee I slept with my dead brother’s best friend.

Now I’m pregnant with his baby

He’s the last man I ever wanted to see again—

my brother’s best friend, the one who disappeared after the funeral, and the reason half this town still whispers when I walk past.

Now he’s back.

Billionaire. Grumpier than ever.

And offering to save the café I’ve bled for—on his terms.

I swore I hated him.

But when we got stuck together during the storm, the fight turned into a kiss.

The kiss turned into a night. And that night turned into two pink lines.

He’s infuriating, arrogant, and completely off-limits.

But he holds my hair when I’m sick. Fixes what’s broken without being asked. And says he’s staying—for me.

I told myself it was just one mistake. But now I’ve fallen for him.

And if the town ever finds out I’m carrying Cole Ramsey’s baby?

I won’t just lose my reputation—

I’ll lose everything I’ve worked for

Insta-Coffee A thousand years have passed since a dragon has been seen in the world. Science and technology have replaced magic, which has dwindled until it has become little more than an element of myth and legend.

There are those who still have dragon blood flowing through their veins, distant descendants of the mighty creatures of old. These rare humans have the power to cast magic, the power to heal, and the power to craft alchemical weapons capable of starting wars… or ending them. But they are feared for those powers, and in recent centuries, they have been hunted nearly to extinction.

The few remaining survivors must find a way to change how humanity perceives them or be lost to the world forever.

The Dragon Blood Collection includes three full-length novels of action, magic, and romance:

Balanced on the Blade’s Edge
Deathmaker
Blood Charged

Insta-Coffee Hello, Franny Armstrong. What fun to be interviewing another Coffee Time Romance interviewer, one who is an author/editor with some fifteen published books under her belt. You say in your bio that your “professional” writing career started when, as a child, you wrote plays that you produced in your garage. What were the stories?

Although I was a child when I started writing, I was disappointed that my story journals disappeared over the years. When I was a mother with my own darling kids (three of them), I had a serious nervous breakdown and couldn’t speak for a few months. It was horrible, but I started writing and couldn’t stop. I found out I have Bipolar II disorder and began a long journey to get well. Writing, I believe, saved my life.

These days, you enjoy creating wacky characters. What sort of wacky characters?

My wacky heroines are feisty and smart-mouthed yet brave and fierce. They never depend on others, but are smart enough to accept help. My heroes are alpha males who are protective and moody at times. The heroines keep them on their toes, making them crazy once in a while. Love those two. The villains are more humorous, thinking they are ‘the cat’s meow’, yet they always succumb to the hero/heroine’s actions for good!

You also love humor, so tell us what constitutes humor for you?

I believe we need laughter in our lives to spice up the day. Although my villains try to be mean and horrible to the other characters (including their cohorts), they run into situations that just have to make you laugh. Laughter is important in a tale. Do you ever hear a baby laugh? It’s impossible for me to frown when I hear it. Humor at its best. J. Arlene Culiner

Insta-Coffee Sara Barnes has her life totally under control. All she has to worry about is college exams, Christmas shopping, applying to medical school--and what to do about the cute freshman who has a crush on her. And everything is going according to plan, until the night she starts dreaming other people`s dreams.

It`s bad enough that every night is a theater of her friends` and classmates` secret fantasies. Worse yet are the other dreams, the dark ones featuring a strange, terrifying man committing unspeakable crimes.

As the nightmares increase, Sara`s life becomes a blur of waking and sleeping, of terror and urgency. Because if she was given this dream-sharing gift for a reason, it must be to stop the killer madman she`s come to know all too well. But how can she stop him when she`s just a student, and they`re only dreams?

Insta-Coffee NEW RELEASE: SAVAGE BLOOMS by S. T. Gibson

S. T. Gibson, the queen of erotic fantasy romance, returns with this ravishingly dark trilogy of gothic manors, faery magic, and forbidden desires set in the foreboding Highlands of Scotland.

For as long as Adam can remember, the legends passed down from his world-traveling grandfather have called him to a crumbling manor in the Highlands. His closest friend Nicola longs for the same adventure, as well as for Adam himself. She’ll follow him just about anywhere – even to the remote wilds of Scotland – if it pushes the pair to surrender to their shared attraction.

But when a storm strikes and strands them unexpectedly, Adam and Nicola find themselves at the mercy of the eccentric owner of the infamous house, Eileen, as well as her brooding groundskeeper, Finley.

Trapped by the weather, and bound by ancient faery magic, Nicola and Adam get more than they bargained for as they become entangled in Eileen and Finley’s world of mind games, deceit and forbidden desire. As ancestral sins are unearthed, Adam and Nicola will have to reckon with the spell Eileen and Finley have cast over them – and whether or not they even want to be free.

Praise for SAVAGE BLOOMS

"A drizzly, moody, and lustrously carnal rendition of a storybook tale, Savage Blooms is the holy grail for lovers of dark academia and faery magic alike. By the time I got to the epilogue, I was ready to bite into the pages like they were made of faery fruit, just so I`d never have to leave." ―Sierra Simone, author of Priest
