Alien Orc’s Prize by Ursa Dax

Sci-Fi Romance, Alien Romance,
Orc Romance

My human Starlight Lottery bride was supposed to be a pawn, not become my most precious prize…

As the eldest prince of an ancient and regal orc bloodline, I should be focused on my lands and people.
Instead, I’m constantly thwarting my family’s attempts to ensure that I produce an heir.

Having no interest in the wealthy, well-bred women my family keeps foisting upon me, I lose my patience and take things into my own hands.

I will marry. But it will be a woman from one of the weakest and most detestable races in the universe.
I will marry a human.

But what begins as a malicious jab at my meddling family turns into something else entirely when Luna actually arrives. She’s lovely, tiny, and soft in a way that makes me feral with the need to protect her.

She looks at me with trusting eyes and sees a worthy husband. She thinks I truly wanted a bride.
That I truly wanted her.

And the great, misguided joke of it all is…
It turns out she is right.


Guarded by an Alien Assassin by Honey Phillips

Sci-Fi Romance, Alien Romance

When Julie’s past comes back to haunt her, she finds an unexpected savior in the form of a towering, blue-skinned alien with a fierce scowl and muscles for days.

She should be terrified. Instead she wants to get closer – much closer – to the brooding warrior, and not just because of the safety he promises.

Q’tar’s mission is simple: eliminate his target and get the hell off of Earth. His bodyguard role is only temporary – until he’s ordered to protect a tiny, adorable female.

Now all he wants is Julie – in his arms and in his bed. Forever. He’s finally found the mate he never thought he’d have, but can he keep her? Or will the truth of his identity destroy their chance at happiness?


Choosing the Demon by Poppy Aster

Dark Paranormal Romance

Being auctioned to a horny monster for a night of sex was not on my bingo card!

When my friend talked me into the auction, I thought it was for… you know, charity or something. The next thing I know, I’m sold and being chased down a hallway straight into a wall of shadow and muscle.

The creature I ran into has glowing eyes, sweeping horns, and dangerous claws. He exudes danger; I should be terrified of him. The monster chasing me turns and runs.

I should run too, but I don’t.

I should be terrified of him, but I’m not.

Instead, he makes me feel safe.

Somehow, I know that this frightening beast wants to protect me. When our time is up, will he be able to let me go? Will I even want him to?


Mostly Shattered by Michelle M. Pillow

Urban Fantasy Romance

I’m the mortal outcast in a powerful magical family, and danger is my constant companion.

The man I love doesn’t remember me. My adoptive brother’s ghost won’t let me live in peace. And my uncle is dead set on marrying me off to the worst supernatural suitor.

If that’s not enough, there’s Constantine—an irresistibly dangerous master vampire who claims I’m part of an ancient prophecy. He’s tempting, seductive, and makes me feel like prey. Being on his radar is more than I’m prepared for.

As the balance between my mortal life and the supernatural realm blurs, I’m thrust into a whirlwind of family secrets, deadly enemies, and treacherous alliances. The clock is ticking, and I must accept my true calling before the shadows swallow me whole.

Will I rise to claim my destiny or be consumed by the dark forces hunting me?

Little Darling by Jenika Snow

Dark Contemporary Romance

When I set out on a trip through Europe, I was searching for adventure and freedom—something to reset my life.

But my dreams quickly twisted into a nightmare when I was taken by a mysterious and dangerous man.

Now, trapped in his secluded, terrifyingly beautiful prison, I knew he wouldn’t let me go.

He told me I was his, that he’d been watching me from the shadows.

Fear and desperation consumed me, but they began to fade as I realized how much he… cared for me.

He’s obsessed, and it became more obvious with each dominating touch and the possessive look in his eyes when he watched me.

As the days blurred into nights, I tried to fight my changing feelings, tried to ignore the strange pull I felt toward him.

Confusion and desire twisted inside me, and I started questioning everything I once knew.

I’m beginning to wonder if I’m losing my mind because… I think I’m falling for him.


Ivory Legacy by Clarissa Bright

Dominance is my birthright, the city my kingdom, and yet, the woman I possess is the one element I cannot fully control.

Pregnant with my heir, she is both my greatest challenge and my ultimate prize.

In the glow of impending fatherhood, I am Dante Moretti: mafioso, protector, a man on the brink of irrevocable change.

She has tantalized me from the beginning. With our child on the horizon, my world expands, revealing vulnerabilities I never knew existed within my heart.

Jade Bentley could elevate or annihilate everything I have built. Her evasion is not just an act of defiance; it is a test of my will to conquer and keep what is mine. I almost gave up my life for her…and I would do it again if it meant I get to keep her and my child by my side.

I need to make her see that her place is by my side, witness to the empire we will bestow upon our child—a legacy written in blood. A legacy that could cost me everything…but would keep her next to me, where she belongs.


Firethorne by Nikki J Summers

Dark Gothic Romance

They told me Firethorne would be my salvation.
But all I found were sinners hiding inside those walls.

Firethorne is a place best viewed from afar.
Strangers aren’t welcome in the dark, gothic mansion. A mansion steeped in twisted myths and urban legends.
No one really knows the truth about Firethorne or its elusive family.
If they did, they’d realise the reality is far worse than any of the secrets they’ve heard whispered in the town.

When Maya Cole’s father falls on hard times, everything seems hopeless, until the day he’s given a lifeline.
A live-in post at the Firethorne estate…
For him and his daughter.

He thinks all their prayers have been answered.
But Maya is no fool.
She knows to be careful what you wish for.
And after meeting the Firethornes, she learns that wishes sometimes turn into nightmares.

Devilishly beguiling and wickedly corrupt, they try to pull her into their games of lies and deceit.
But with Maya, they soon learn, what they can’t have, they can’t resist.
Which only makes the chase even sweeter.

But they’re not the only ones chasing her.

Someone else is lurking in the shadows.
Watching…
Waiting…
Biding their time…
Ready to show her that the devil you know isn’t always the one you should trust.

As a pro-gamer, I’ve conquered countless digital worlds, but nothing has prepared me for playing the role of a thief amongst a world of monsters. When I’m caught red-handed by a ruggedly handsome Orc, his eyes blaze with curiosity and suspicion. But instead of delivering me to the local authorities, Guruk offers me shelter within his home. Bound by the promise in his eyes, I find myself drawn to him in ways I never imagined possible.

Amidst the enchanting village and surrounding woodlands, a sizzling romance ignites between us. But as our feelings deepen, I must confront the shadows of my past and the uncertainties of the future.

A Curse of Fate by Jaymin Eve

Paranormal Romance, Why Choose

I’m a shifter who can never bond with a pack. Not if I want to live.

The day I watched my mom’s pack destroy her, was the day I knew I had to run from the shifter cities.

Mom and I share the same designation, which means we’ll share the same fate.

For ten years I hide from the cities and the alphas who control them.

Until my luck runs out.

Dragged to Golden Claw against my will, they charge me as a rogue. I’m facing death until one of the strongest alphas in the city scents me as his match.

Scents me… and claims me.

Even worse? He’s part of the most powerful pack of alphas the cities have ever seen.

I have to reject them. It’s the only way to avoid my mom’s curse of fate. And my own.

Except, these alphas have never been rejected a day in their lives, and they’re definitely not about to start now.

A demon who stirred something in my soul.

But fate is cruel. I was recaptured, carrying a secret that would change everything.

Our son.

For five years, I protected him from a world that would destroy us both.
Then Volezimir found us, freeing us from our chains.

And learned of my secret.

He was thrilled to be a father.
And I thought we’d found our happily ever after…

But I was wrong.
Now I have to hope my demon can save me again.


Claus by Sue Mercury

The lonely alien warrior needs a human bride.

On war-torn Earth, former interstellar translator Aubrey struggles to raise her late sister’s three young boys. It’s not easy when resources are scarce, her hometown is embroiled in civil unrest, and her ex-fiancé keeps causing trouble. But she’s determined to make a happy life for her nephews. Whatever it takes, she’ll keep them safe and fed and ensure they feel loved. She also hopes to make the upcoming holiday season as magical as possible.

Vaxxlian warrior Claus is on a mission to find a human wife. He signs up for Vaxxlian Alien Mail Order Brides and travels to Earth, only to learn his assigned mate has tragically passed away. The petite female who delivers this news is the sister of his intended mate, and Claus is quick to propose a marriage of convenience between Aubrey and himself. He promises to always take care of her and the children. Unfortunately, the stubborn human woman is suspicious of his motives. She’s also reluctant to leave Earth.

Aubrey is shocked by the arrival of the musclebound alien warrior, and she doesn’t know what to think of his persistence. No matter how many times she sends him away, he keeps coming back. He also seems to have won over her nephews. To further complicate matters, she cannot deny her growing attraction to the handsome alien, especially after he chases her ex-fiancé away. And when he dresses up like Santa and hands out presents to her nephews on Christmas Eve? Be still her heart.

But can a marriage of convenience between total strangers really work?


Claimed by the Alien Barbarian by Ava Ross

Sci-Fi Romance, Alien Romance

Can a lonely woman build a new future with a fierce alien male on a world far from Earth?

Kerry: After I’m taken from Earth and dropped in an alien forest on a distant planet, I resign myself to never going home. There went my dream of finding someone to love. Then a gorgeous, blue-skinned and severely wounded alien stumbles into my campsite and collapses on the ground beside me. As I nurse him back to health, I start wondering if this seven-foot-tall, muscle-bound guy with shadows flickering in his teal eyes could be the one.

Nevarn tells me he was traveling to the clan he grew up in, that he was banished for a crime he didn’t commit, and that he’s going to prove his innocence.

When he asks me to help him, I realize there’s no place I’d rather be than at his side.

Nevarn: After I was banished from my birth clan, I created a new life for myself in the forest far from home. But my banishment is over, and I’m determined to find out who framed me and find justice. On the way, I’m attacked and left for dead, and a beautiful human woman, Kerry, saves my life. When a symbol appears on my wrist, I know she’s my fated mate. She agrees to travel with me, and I see this as my chance to show her all a Zuldruxian male has to offer.

But someone is following us, and it’s clear they’ll do anything to keep us from reaching our destination. I’d burn the world down to protect Kerry, but will we survive long enough to fall in love?


Captive Bride by Clarissa Bright

Dark Mafia Romance

An accidental queen. Unborn heirs at risk. In a deadly mafia war, her love and his legacy hand by a thread.

Mafia prince Tristan Callahan chose love over duty when he connected his life with rival mafia family princess Adriana’s. Now, his world grows dangerous as enemies step out of the shadows, eyeing Adriana and their unborn twins – the future Callahans. Tristan is more vulnerable than ever and his enemies know exactly where to hit.

Bold attacks by rival families, once unthinkable, now happen daily. Adriana faces her new life as a mafia queen and the hard choices that come with it: her decisions could protect her children, or drag her family and Tristan’s heir deemed into the violence that surrounds them.

With whispers of deceit sending tremors through his domain, Tristan faces foes on all sides – ones who won’t rest until his lineage dies. Tristan would do anything to keep his queen and heirs safe, but as he and Adriana confront their uncertain future, every moment together reminds them of what they stand to lose.

With tensions already fraying at the edges, a betrayal from his own ranks looms, threatening to shatter their hard-fought for peace…


Marked For Vengeance by Susan Hayes

Sci-Fi Romance, Alien Romance

She thought she was too old for adventure… until it blew up her ship.

Protecting her client while they cruised around the galaxy was easy work – at least until all hell broke loose. Now Loris is stuck on a hostile planet with poisonous flora, dangerous fauna, and a cocky-as-hell alien with big horns, broad shoulders, and an ego the size of a planet.

She needs to do her job. He’s decided she needs him. The longer they’re together, the more she wonders if he might be right… or if she’s losing her mind as well as her heart.


Echoes of the Tide by Emma Hamm

Fantasy Romance

Ace has spent her entire life hiding who she is. First, it was from friends and family who didn’t know she was stealing from the rich. Then it was hiding her true self in a prison city under the water. The worst was hiding herself from new friends who helped her destroy Alpha. What she didn’t know, was that decision would force her to come into the light.

Maketes has always been the jokester. No one takes him seriously, and if they do, it’s only because he was born violent. But then he starts talking with a human through droids, and he finds a kindred spirit in them. When he’s given an opportunity to find out who this human really is, he takes it.

But what he finds in that prison city is not just the person he was friends with. He finds a villainous group of people who wish to use him to their advantage, and a woman who captivates his entire soul.

Together, they travel throughout the remains of Gamma, a city long forgotten. And while they search for a key that will change how they see the entire world underneath the ocean, they find themselves growing closer. Soon enough, they realize that perhaps hiding their entire lives has prevented them from experiencing the greatest part of life.

Love.

Patriot by Harley WyldeMaryAnne -- I was sixteen when I learned a hard lesson. No, it wasn’t a lesson. It was worse. Kidnapped, tortured, abused in the worst of ways… I’d thought my life was over. Until the day my knight in shining armor came to save me. Patriot. Despite how scary he looks, he has to be the kindest man I’ve ever met. He not only rescues damsels in distress, but animals too. Under that hard exterior is a heart of gold. It doesn’t matter that he’s older than me. The more I get to know him, the harder I start to fall. But why would a man like him ever want someone like me? I’m dirty. Damaged. Broken beyond repair. Or am I? After all, Christmas is a time for miracles.

Patriot -- From the moment I saw her, she’s had me wrapped around her finger. I’ve done my best to chase the fear and shadows from her eyes, show her she’s safe. I’ve taken out nearly every man who ever hurt her, even if she doesn’t know it. And the two who are still standing won’t be for long. I want to see her smile. Make her laugh. What better time than Christmas to prove to her life is worth living? I’ll make it the best she’s ever had!

But there’s only one thing I want under the tree this year… MaryAnne. She deserves better. I’m no angel. I’ve killed. Lied. Stolen. And worse. I tell myself repeatedly to keep my distance… until I can’t. One taste and I know I’ll never walk away. MaryAnne is mine! And if she won’t listen to me, then maybe my whacky parrot can convince her. If there’s one thing the African Grey excels at, it’s talking when he shouldn’t.

WARNING: Patriot contains scenes of graphic violence and sexual content, bad language, and abuse. But it also has a happily-ever-after, a tiny feline terror, the most patient dog on the planet, and a bird who always has to have the last word.

5 Elements of a Scene: #5 a Closing Hook by Kayelle Allen

We've been discussing the elements of a scene. In fiction, a scene is where action occurs (scene of the crime), or an incident takes place (a seduction, an argument, a beginning conflict), etc.

Good scenes consist of five things. An opening hook, a complication, a discovery, a response, and a closing hook.
We've discussed the first four here:
#1 Opening Hook https://coffeetimeromance.com/advice-for-authors-by-kayelle-allen/

#2 Turning Point https://coffeetimeromance.com/5-elements-of-a-scene-2-the-turning-point-by-kayelle-allen/

#3 Discovery https://coffeetimeromance.com/5-elements-of-a-scene-3-revelations-by-kayelle-allen/

#4 Reaction https://coffeetimeromance.com/5-elements-of-a-scene-4-a-reaction-by-kayelle-allen/

#5 Closing Hook

Now let's get to the final element, the closing "hook" that will propel the reader to the next scene (or book).
Closing Hook
How do you decide on a closing hook with punch? A solid closing hook will end with a decision, however unlikely at the beginning. In fact, your closing will reflect the opening in some way.

What is your protagonist's inner conflict? How has that been shaken—or evolved? What elements of the scene or story made their conflict worse? Is there something in the situation that you can tie to their reaction to create a question?

In fact, learning to end on that moment of surprise or indecision is key to the hook. Less is more.

Example 1 – a man and a woman argue. Which hook is stronger?

He stalked off into the night.

She followed him.

OR

He stalked off into the night.

The second ending is the better hook. Why? Because we don't know her reaction. Also, we don't know where he is going, why, or what he is going to do. But we want to know.

Example 2 – A character is running.

He fled down the alley, dashed around the corner and slipped into the darkness.

Hopefully, they wouldn't find him.

OR

He fled down the alley, dashed around the corner and slipped into the darkness.

The second ending is better. Why? Even if we already know who or what is following him, we don't know how it ends up. We can infer how he feels from the verbs in the sentence:...

5 Elements of a Scene: #5 a Closing Hook by Kayelle Allen

We`ve been discussing the elements of a scene. In fiction, a scene is where action occurs (scene of the crime), or an incident takes place (a seduction, an argument, a beginning conflict), etc.

Good scenes consist of five things. An opening hook, a complication, a discovery, a response, and a closing hook.
We`ve discussed the first four here:
#1 Opening Hook https://coffeetimeromance.com/advice-for-authors-by-kayelle-allen/

#2 Turning Point https://coffeetimeromance.com/5-elements-of-a-scene-2-the-turning-point-by-kayelle-allen/

#3 Discovery https://coffeetimeromance.com/5-elements-of-a-scene-3-revelations-by-kayelle-allen/

#4 Reaction https://coffeetimeromance.com/5-elements-of-a-scene-4-a-reaction-by-kayelle-allen/

#5 Closing Hook

Now let`s get to the final element, the closing "hook" that will propel the reader to the next scene (or book).
Closing Hook

An Audio Sale & Epic Giveaway! 🐉

Hi Everyone!

I hope you're having a wonderful holiday season! Have you watched any holiday movies you love? I'm obsessed with The Holiday so will definitely be doing a rewatch of that!

In the meantime, I've been hard at work on the Wolves of Crescent Creek books and I am IN LOVE!!! I also just got the covers back for the series and I just have to say...PREPARE YOURSELVES! I am so obsessed with them and hoping to show you in the new year with fun updates on that front!

For now, I've got an audio sale and a super fun giveaway for you!!

 

I’d always wondered what it would be like to have a family. I just never expected to find it with five mysterious strangers who have more secrets than I could ever imagine.

Getting a scholarship to Evergreen University and majoring in premed means I need to keep my head down and focus on my studies. But campus is full of distractions…

The football god with his golden retriever charm. The tortured one with his vicious tongue. The broken boy with his determined protectiveness. The merciless billionaire with a penchant for spoiling me. And the genius professor with his brilliant mind.

They make me feel like I belong for the first time since my parents were murdered. And when they touch me, my whole world sparks to flame.

But they have enemies. Those who would give anything to harm what they hold dear. And while they’ll do whatever it takes to keep me safe, sometimes falling in love will put you right in the line of fire…

Grab the audio for $5.99 for Audible Plus Members!

A Bear Ski Instructor Christmas: An Amnesia Lost Love Romance (Holiday Shifters of Frost Mountain)Being a fashion model can really take you places…
Like a snow-covered mountain in the middle of nowhere—literally.

Frost Mountain isn’t your average ski resort. 
The last place I expected to spend my Christmas was in a magical prison…
But here I am.

At least I’m not alone.
There are other people trapped on this mountain with me.
And one of them is my ex-boyfriend…
The one who went missing years ago. 
I thought I’d lost him, but he’s been alive this whole time.
This sizzling bear shifter is a ski instructor now…and guess what?
He doesn’t even remember who I am.

Amnesia sucks, period.
But it’s even worse when you’re still in love with them.
I need him to remember me.
And I’ll do everything in my power to make sure he does.

It’s about to be one hell of a Christmas.https://coffeetimeromance.com/a-bear-ski-instructor-christmas-an-amnesia-lost-love-romance-holiday-shifters-of-frost-mountain/?fsp_sid=198

St. Nicked by Damon SuedeSt. Nicked: There's no gift like the present.

Holidays this fun can’t be legal. When a cat burglar dressed as Santa targets a glitzy Manhattan high-rise, the holidays get unhinged.

As superintendent, Mark Almeida needs to keep the residents safe, and as a former NYPD cop, he knows he can crack the case without any help… until he meets a suave stranger too handsome for his own good who pushes buttons Mark didn’t know he had.

As the holly-jolly crime spree unfolds, Mark wrestles with duty and desire while juggling festive clues, lavish gifts, and stolen kisses in time for a truly crooked Christmas.

St. Nicked, the newest contemporary romance from Damon Suede, combines the tension of a mystery with feel-good romance in a way only Damon can deliver.

Meet the Author

Damon Suede… between soft and rough

Damon Suede grew up out-n-proud deep in the anus of right-wing America, and escaped as soon as it was legal. He has lived all over: Houston, New York, London, Prague. Along the way, he’s earned his crust as a model, a messenger, a promoter, a programmer, a sculptor, a singer, a stripper, a bookkeeper, a bartender, a techie, a teacher, a director... but writing has ever been his bread and butter. He has been happily partnered for over a decade with the most loving, handsome, shrewd, hilarious, noble man to walk this planet.

Addictions: sweetness that isn’t sentimental, wit that isn’t bitter, strength that isn’t cruel. Allergies: professional victims, half-assery, clichés.

Beyond romance fiction, Damon has been writing for print, stage, and screen for over three decades, which is both more and less glamorous than you might imagine. He's won some awards, but his blessings are more numerous: his amazing friends, his demented family, his beautiful husband, his loyal fans, and his silly, stern, seductive Muse who keeps whispering in his ear, year after year.

Damon would love to hear from you... you can get in touch with him here or at any of the following social media hubs:

 	Facebook
 	Twitter
 	Goodreads
 	Amazon
 	Bookbub

And if you'd like spam-free updates about his work ...
