Author Bio
Melissa Keir has always wanted to be an author when she wasn’t hoping
for a career as a racecar driver. Her love of books was instilled by her mother
and grandparents who were avid readers. She’d often sneak books away from them
so that she could fantasize about those strong alpha males and plucky heroines.
Melissa doesn’t believe in down time. She’s always keeping busy.
Melissa is a wife and mother, an elementary school teacher, a movie reviewer
with WHMI (a local radio station), owner of a publishing company as well as an
author. Her home blends two families and is a lot like the Brady Bunch, without
Alice- a large grocery bill, tons of dirty dishes and a mound of laundry. She
loves to write stories that feature happy endings and is often seen plotting
her next story.
She’d love to hear from you!

Chloe
I was a single mother with nothing to offer
him. The last thing I needed was a complication in my life.
My heart was off limits, but it didn’t take
long for him to wear me down with his gorgeous smile and charming ways.
I was a fool to think we could last.
Even though I did the right thing for the
wrong reason, it didn’t matter in the end.
Secrets always have a way of coming out, and I
was keeping the biggest one of all.
Jack
I was living the good life. Or so I thought.
Until I stumbled into a little Carolina diner for a cup of coffee, and my word
started to shift and change in a way that I never saw coming.
I thought she would be mine forever.
Until her ex reappeared back in her life.
They say that every story should have a happy
ending, but I would settle for a happy middle, because I’m not sure we’ll even
make it to the end.
ADD TO GOODREADS

Excerpt
“Chloe,” I sighed, feeling my control snap. “I want to take
my time with you. I want to appreciate every inch of you.” I brought my hand up
to the back of her neck, loving the feel of her skin underneath my fingertips.
“I want you,” I said holding her gaze. “All of you.”
She closed her eyes momentarily, as I tenderly caressed her
skin. “We have all night, Jack.” Her voice was quiet, almost pained. “And I
want to remember everything about tonight in case it’s the only one we have.”
She blinked up at me, her eyes blazed with heat. “Give me something to
remember.”

Pub Date: 10/30/18
Lady Emily Masters has harbored a secret infatuation for the dashing
Malcolm Arborn, Viscount Morley since a childhood accident claimed
the life of her twin brother and left her own face scarred. But when
fate brings them together again for her brother’s wedding, she is
dismayed to find instead of the brave gentleman who sheltered her
after the tragedy, a surly rogue quick to quip and slow to trust.

To the cosmopolitan and haughty Malcolm, few engagements could possibly
be more punishing than attending his friend’s country wedding―until
the groom requests he watch over his timid sister during the weeks
leading up to the ceremony. Fearful of her scar making her the center
of attention to the visiting lords and ladies, Emily proves to be a
difficult charge for the irascible bachelor.

Her diffidence an insult to his sensibilities, he finds a new purpose
within his role: to bring out the bold woman within. But how can such
a gentle creature as Emily abide his own coarseness? At odds with
their natures, will these two willful souls be able to look beyond
their past hurt to build a promising tomorrow?
With Love in Sight
The Twice Shy Series Book 1
From Romance Writers of America’s® 2017 Golden Heart® winner comes a
story of passion that is much more than meets the eye.
An aging spinster at twenty-six, all Imogen Duncan sees ahead of her is
a life of servitude to her overbearing mother. Her London Season has
passed and her desperate shyness and reserved demeanor have destroyed
any chance for a match. As her younger sister Mariah begins her own
Season with a selection of suitors, Imogen believes her chances for
excitement are well and truly lost…Until a case of mistaken
identity and an accidental kiss brings her adventure.
Burying his guilt from a decade-old tragedy beneath a life of debauchery,
Caleb Masters, Marquess of Willbridge, is content enough to meet
willing widows in dark gardens to numb the pain. But he is wholly
unprepared when an innocent miss stumbles into him, turning his
superficial world on its head.
Drawn to the rogue that mistakenly stole her first kiss, Imogen finds not a
suitor, but a friend. Free to be herself for the first time, she
begins to see a new beauty in the world around her…and see a
strength in herself she never knew she possessed. But when friendship
turns to passion, Imogen will accept nothing less than Caleb’s
heart. Can a healing of the past lead to the promise of a future together?
Christina Britton developed a passion for writing romance novels shortly
after buying her first at the tender age of thirteen. Though for
several years she turned to art and put brush instead of pen to
paper, she has returned to her first love and is now writing full
time. She spends her days dreaming of corsets and cravats and
noblemen with tortured souls.
She lives with her husband and two children in the San Francisco Bay
Area. A member of Romance Writers of America, she also belongs to
her local chapter, Silicon Valley RWA, and is a 2017 RWA® Golden
Heart® winner. Her debut novel, With Love in Sight, was released by

Muriella

I’ve never been on a date.

And I intended to keep it that
way.

But to save my best friends’
relationship, I agreed to
three with the man I secretly long for.

He doesn’t know why we can’t be. That chancing a relationship
would bring everything crashing down around us.

Whatever he makes me feel is
irrelevant. Wherever he thinks this may lead, he’s wrong.

Three dates.

That’s all I have to survive before I can put him
back where he belongs…

At arm’s length.
 

Stone

Six years.

That’s how long I’ve waited for her.

Now I’ve got three shots to
convince her what I’ve known all along…

We belong together.

Despite all of my
determination, each new revelation seems to pull us apart.

With everything stacked
against us, we may not even make it to date three, let alone forever.

About Andi Jaxon


Raised in California, I’m a crunchy mom, save the whales and the rain forests, hippy. I married a sexy man in uniform who let me spawn and am now raising a mutinous army of hell raisers that I created myself, all while he defends our country. I drink too much coffee until it’s late enough to drink too much wine and am sexually frustrated for your freedom. If you see me online, I’m probably sitting in a closet, hiding from my kids.

About AJ Alexander

Fluent in sarcasm, Supernatural, and song lyrics, I like talking to people and finding what makes them tick, though that probably has to do with the Psychology degree. I’m up before the sun because my kids don’t sleep, chugging tea and coffee to keep my eyes open and my brain semi functional. Being married to a man in uniform means I’ve lived a lot of places, survived seeing my husband for half the amount of time I’ve been married, and spent a lot of time raising my kids alone.

I love to write messed up psychos with lots of angst, happily ever afters that have to be worked for. Women with sass and backbone, men with a twisted hero complex and the need to control are my favorite to read as well as write.

I didn’t even realise that I had reached for him, until Hendrix flinched at my touch. “Sorry.”
“It’s okay.” He shook his head.
“Do you want me to stop?” I asked as I touched the small round cigarette burns.
“No.”
There were hundreds of them, dotting his. I traced my fingers over each one, feeling his pain. My heart clenched.
Hendrix’s breathing increased and I wondered if I was pushing him too far, but he still didn’t stop me.
My hand drifted down to a large triangular scar on his lower back. I traced the slightly curved edges and winced in pain as I thought about what could have caused such a bad scar.
“What did he do to you?” I whispered so soft I wasn’t sure Hendrix heard.
“Hot iron. My shirt was wrinkled and I looked like a slob.”
“Oh, Hendrix.”
“I was eleven.”
If it were possible for my heart to break any more, it did, right then.
Shattered.
Tears rolled down my cheeks as images of an eleven-year-old Hendrix being held down by Ray flashed through my mind.
“I’m so sorry,” I whispered into his back, wrapping my arms around his waist until they came to rest on his stomach. His hands found mine, covering them completely. His body trembled, and I had no idea how to comfort him. How to take away the pain, torment, torture.
I pressed my lips to a scar on his shoulder and he tensed, tightened his fingers around mine. I wanted to make him feel better, make him forget the pain of his past for just a little while.
Throwing caution to the wind, I turned him to face me.
“Lucy.” His voice was low, gravelly. “Stop.”
“No.” I cupped his cheek with my hand and pressed my lips together in a small smile. “Kiss me.”
He froze. Conflict warred in his eyes as he lowered his gaze and dragged it leisurely over my body.
I just wanted a moment for us to both forget. For Hendrix to lose himself in me and forget his past. I wanted to forget where I was, forget that my life was hell. I wanted to feel something other than hatred, and Hendrix’s kisses and fingers on my skin always sparked something in me; a fire, a desire that I constantly had to extinguish. But right then, maybe it was the fact he was trying so hard to be noble and do the right thing, I just wanted to give into the flames and burn with him.
As if following my train of thought, Hendrix’s eyes flashed to life, a low growl erupted from his throat and he slammed his mouth down on mine. My hands were in his hair, my lips moulded to his, a small whimper escaped. And I really didn’t know if it was me or him. Or if it was out of pleasure, comfort, or fear. It didn’t matter. It just was.
His hands cupped my face as he stepped back. Breathing hard, he closed his eyes and rested his forehead against mine. “Can I tell you something?” he whispered against my lips.
“Yes.”
“I’m scared, Lucy. I’m scared I can’t fix this.” His voice was full of pain, anguish.
“Me too.” I pressed myself closer to him, needing the comfort and needing to comfort him.
“I won’t let him touch you, Lucy. At all. He’ll have to kill me first, okay? I promise you, you will be safe.”
I kissed him again.

MR. Billionaire CEO

Book Review Virginia Lee Blog

Title: Mr. Billionaire CEO
Author: Sedona Venez
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publication Date: November 28th, 2018
Cover Designer: Covers by Combs
Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR
Blurb:
A forbidden, sexy office romance stand-alone from USA Today best-selling author Sedona Venez.
Jayla is trouble, and she’s just my type of woman. 
I was damned when I watched her stroll into the office building her first day of work. In a matter of minutes, she shattered my control.
I’ve been obsessed with her bombshell body since that day.
But I’m her boss. 
So, my fixation on her is totally inappropriate, especially when she hasn’t shown a bit of sexual interest in me—or so I thought … up until recently.
I’m a Dom, and I sense she is a natural submissive, albeit one who seems inexperienced with men. My instincts tell me that the right man can not only bring out her external beauty, but sexually awaken her as well.
Now that I’ve set my sights on her, I’m not going to back down until I get what I want.
And, as everyone in the office knows, I always get what I want.
As with all my books, this stand-alone is safe with no cheating and a guaranteed HEA.
