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

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

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.

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

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.

And after meeting the Firethornes, she learns that wishes sometimes turn into nightmares.

Which only makes the chase even sweeter.

But they’re not the only ones chasing her.

Waiting…
Biding their time…
Ready to show her that the devil you know isn’t always the one you should trust.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Ramseys by Amber Daulton - in Time Complete Box Set NOW AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER!

The Ramseys in Time box set features spunky heroines, brooding heroes, and a trip through time. Each of the two novellas included have a 50k word count, making this box set top off at 100k.

In Timeless Honor, Jaye Ramsey goes on vacation with her friends to Bolivia in order to prove to her eccentric grandmother that time travel doesn't exist. There she finds a time portal in the Salar de Uyuni (the salt flats) and winds up in Georgian England. Never did she expect to fall in love with a man from her grandmother's past, Lord Lucas Kenway, who was accused of murdering his wife on their wedding night.

In Timeless Beginnings, Leonora Harris flees her newly wedded husband's home and loses her way in the woods. After she falls through a portal, she wakes up in 1960s Bolivia. Luckily for her, she meets undercover CIA agent Rodger Ramsey and embraces her new life as a modern woman.

Even though these novellas are standalones, it's best to read them together, in any order, because you'll be able to fully immerse yourself in this fictional world of magic portals, culture shock, and happily ever afters.

My Fake Italian Marriage by Romy Sommer
Escape to Italy for a summer romance
As the nights draw in and winter approaches, you may be indulging in hot cocoa, woolly sweaters, and Hallmark holiday movies...or you might be indulging in dreams of summery destinations and strappy sundresses. I'm definitely in the latter camp. I don't do well with the cold, so I hibernate all winter, warming myself up by escaping to warmer climes in the pages of books. One of my favorite destinations, no matter the season, is Italy - the home of pizza, pasta, gelato, and amazing wines. (And yes, I am a tad obsessed with the taste of Italy!)

Enjoy your own escape to Italy with "My Fake Italian Marriage," a romance filled with sunshine, mouth-watering food and wine, and (of course!) a heart-warming fake marriage romance.

In the words of The Unrepentant Bookaholic: "Set in the beautiful Tuscan hills and vineyards, this story was delightful, sweetly steamy, and still romantic. Sworn off men after two failed relationships, Cleo is sent to Luca's family vineyard to protect her company's investment. Sparks fly, and a reluctant partnership is formed to keep the failing business alive. Fabulous!"

Interview with Lucy Felthousehttps://bit.ly/4fJavT3Welcome, today we are talking with Lucy Felthouse! I would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy writing schedule to answer a few questions. First, let's delve into who you are. Some of the questions may be untraditional but you’d be surprised at what readers connect to, and sometimes the simplest ‘I can relate to that’ grabs their interest where nothing else can.

Can you share a little something about Lucy Felthouse that’s not mentioned in your bio on your website?

I try to counteract my love of chocolate by spending lots of time walking in the countryside, going to Zumba once a week and doing Yoga at home.

How long have you been writing?

Since I was a child. I was a huge reader from a young age, and loved adventure stories, so anything by Enid Blyton, that kind of thing. I would spend hours making up my own stories and scribbling into notebooks. I wish I still had them now—I’m intrigued as to whether any of it was any good!

In terms of writing for publication, it’s getting on for twenty years now, since I was at university.

What have you found most challenging about it?

That when you write in certain genres, i.e. romance, and particularly steamy romance, you will often find people look down on you and what you write. There are certain places where writers of other genres will be welcomed, but you won’t. I’ve learnt to live with it, and don’t try to insert myself where “my face doesn’t fit”, but I do find it quite annoying at times. In a lot of ways, we still live in a very narrow minded world.

What does writing do for you? Is it fun, cathartic, do you get emotional? 

All of the above! I’ve made myself laugh writing, I’ve made myself cry writing. I take it as a good sign, to be honest. As the writer, I know what’s going to happen, so if I still get emotional about it, then surely that means I’m doing something right!

Describe what your writing routine looks like. Are you disciplined with a strict schedule or do you have to be in the mood?

I don’t have a routine. I don’t write full time, and I don’t always have a book or story on the go. So it all depends. When I am writing a book, I t...

Breaker by AK Nevermore
Check out Breaker, a Spicy Dystopian Romance...
Hey all, AK Nevermore back with the first book in a brand new series, Breaker. If you're a fan of Spicy Dystopian Romance, then this is the series for you!

Beware the Coming Storm...

On an alternate earth, a cataclysm has altered a subset of the population. Talents are persecuted for their psychic and physical mutations, giving rise to two conflicting societies based upon maintaining genetic purity. And the Source, a shadowy corporate entity dependent upon the exploitation of captive Talents, is hunting them...

Self-exiled to the Outside, Flynn Scot is oath-bound to a life of strict penance.

Cursed with a vicious temper and haunted by the blood-stained debauchery of his past, Flynn's sworn off women, whiskey, and violence, and doesn't give a damn about whispers of the coming war. He sure as hell isn't in the mood to make good on a debt when it's called in, especially when playing white knight outs him as a Talent, and the damsel in distress as his soulmate.

On the run from her future as a broodmare for the Source, escaped Talent Kara Jester is no distressed damsel.

And the last thing she wants is to be trapped in a blizzard with a surly—and frustratingly captivating—thug. Without the suppression meds holding her libido in check, her biology's primed to procreate, and Flynn's growled assurances that he won't touch her doesn't match the hunger in his eyes.

It doesn't align with what fate has in store for them, either.

With elite troops hot on their heels and the border set to close, it's a race to the North, away from Kara's horrific future and towards the dark past Flynn wants to keep buried. Clinging to the shreds of his oath, he's forced to choose between protecting the woman he's afraid to love and letting out the animal he swore he'd never be again. Either may destroy him, if Kara's secrets don't get them killed first.

Want more? It's free to read in Kindle Unlimited, and you can download the Breeder, the series prequel, for free here: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/91ffk852qo

Interview with Zara WestWelcome, today we are talking with Zara West! I would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy writing schedule to answer a few questions. First, let's delve into who you are. Some of the questions may be untraditional but you’d be surprised at what readers connect to, and sometimes the simplest ‘I can relate to that’ grabs their interest where nothing else can.

Can you share a little something about yourself that’s not mentioned in your bio on your website?

I am a champion hand spinner with a collection blue ribbons from the New York State Fair. My spinning wheel was handmade by a local carpenter who used the same tools used during the Colonial Period.

How long have you been writing?

I have been writing forever. As a child, I loved art, horses, and storytelling. I wrote hundreds of tiny, illustrated books full of talking horses, which I sold to my classmates for a penny. Then I grew up and turned to writing non-fiction. I have written magazine and academic articles, how-to-manuals, craft books, and college textbooks on a wide range of topics, including art, ethnography, weaving, technology, and writing. But for the last fifteen years I have returned to writing the fiction I love to read – historical fiction and romance.

What have you found most challenging about it?

The change to fiction from non-fiction was hard. The structure of each is totally different. The biggest difference is that non-fiction is full of telling, but fiction needs to reach deep inside a character’s psyche and show how they experience the things they are doing and the things happening to them, emotionally. When lovers kiss in a romance, the reader needs to feel that kiss as real.

What does writing do for you? Is it fun, cathartic, do you get emotional?

Writing a story is pure release. I practice a technique called fast drafting (I have published a book about it Fast Draft Your Manuscript and Get it Done Now).

When I am writing, I focus totally on the story. I don’t worry about grammar or spelling or being precise. Instead, I just let the ideas and character’s voices flow out of my fingers. I am that character. I’m in that experience. I’m in the...

The Marquis and the Vixen by Collette Cameron
The only thing more passionate than their differences is their chemistry...
There is nothing Blythe Culpepper wants less than a Season in London. Except Lord Leventhrope. She definitely wants nothing to do with that odious (and admittedly handsome) man. So, imagine her dismay when she's saddled with both...

Tristan has no interest in social gatherings. Which is why he's as surprised as everyone else when he agrees to help present the Culpeppers to Society. If only he could determine why the sharp-tongued Blythe captivates him like no other...

Tristan and Blythe soon learn there's nothing like a little forced proximity—and a deadly enemy—to help a pair of polar opposites see what they truly mean to each other. But is happily ever after in the cards for this tormented marquis and the vivacious vixen of his dreams?

The Marquis and the Vixen
Copyright by Collette Cameron®

A woman of noble character will at all times remember, calm composure flummoxes the schemes of evil-intended people. ~ Dignity and Decorum—The Genteel Lady's Guide to Practical Living

London, England, Late May, 1822

Flimflam and goose-butt feathers!

One hand hiding her mouth, Blythe Culpepper gaped as she trailed her cousin, Brooke, and Brooke's husband, Heath, the Earl of Ravensdale, into the mansion.

Surely that wasn't authentic gold gilding the ornate cornices? Squinting to see better, she surveyed the grand entrance. Yes. It is.

And not just the sculpted cornices either. The plasterwork and practically every other surface, excluding the coffered ceiling's elaborate paintings and the rose-tinted marble floor, boasted the shiny adornment.

Everything pink and gold and glittery. And costly.

"What a despicable waste of money." Flinging Heath a hasty glance, Blythe checked her muttering. It wouldn't do to offend him or their hostess within a minute of arrival.

The peeress, swathed in gold satin and dripping in diamonds—three diamond bracelets? On each wrist?—stood beside an enormous urn. Blythe fought the scowl tugging at her mouth and brows. Disgusting, this brazen flaunting of wealth.

A Hero's Heart by Amber Daulton

 
Danger and Love at Christmas
In A Hero's Heart, DEA agent Jarrett Brandt returns home after several years and runs into his one true love and former girlfriend Marissa. Though he never intended to start things up with her again, love and fate had other plans.

Romantic suspense is one of my favorite sub-genres to read and write. I love second chance stories about damaged heroes with self-esteem issues, and Jarrett fits the bill. He made a lot of mistakes as a teenager and young adult, but finally got his priorities straight and cleaned up. He's a classic romance hero, in my opinion, because he's learned from his past and now puts his life on the line to help others. He's selfless, strong, and understanding, which makes him a swoon-worthy book boyfriend. Besides, he drives a motorcycle. What could be hotter?

Most romantic suspense books I've read aren't centered around major holidays, so that makes A Hero's Heart different from what I conceive as the norm. Christmas-themed stories often bring to mind hot chocolate, sleigh rides, snowmen, and a jolly man in a red suit. Most of the time, those stories are sweet, heartfelt romances with little to no sex, and there's nothing wrong with that. I love reading those stories! If I could choose, however, I prefer adrenaline-laced, action-filled romances that take the hero and heroine through the ringer, both in and out of the bedroom. Just because it's Christmas, the time to be merry, doesn't mean the bad guys have gone home to twiddle their thumbs and wait out the New Year. In this genre, danger is always lurking around the corner and it's not something to be taken lightly, as Jarrett and Marissa eventually realize.

As with all true romance books, no matter what happens during the course of the story, one important thing remains the same—the romance. The hero and heroine may achieve their happily ever after in different ways, but as long as the reader is smiling, then it's a good book.
