Her punishment is my reward…
Sweet. Fragile. Unbroken.

She’s forced up on stage like a lamb to the slaughter.
The perfect captive… for a price.

I’ll make sure I’m the highest bidder.

It’s that sandy blonde hair; those shimmering hazel eyes.
They remind me of an old life,
Before I became the monster I am today.

Oh, how weak I once was…

Two million dollars, and she’s mine.

To reclaim my past, I will conquer her.
Control her.
Break her.

… But when Mary shatters under my obsession,
Something unexpected happens.

I want to put her back together again.

There’s more to this girl than meets the eye.
A darkness that threatens to engulf us both.

I’ll fight those demons off.

Because she doesn’t belong to them anymore.

She belongs to me.

BLURB

As third in line to the British throne, I have to behave a certain way. Do what I’m told. Put my best foot forward.

But when I meet the man of my dreams, and I’m told he’s off limits? I take matters into my own hands.

Secret dates. Covert meetings. I’ll do whatever it takes to be with the devilishly handsome man who has tunneled his way into my heart.

His touch. His smiles. The heat in his eyes when he looks at me.

We can’t last, sneaking around, avoiding anything and everything. The queen forbids it. I could lose everything.

But when he smiles at me like that?

What’s a princess supposed to do?

About Extra Credit

Caught between the taboo of wanting her professor, and the trepidation from someone not easily taking no for an answer–this was going to be a long semester…

Philosophy professor Connor Peterson liked things just so. He liked his pens in the correct drawer, his students to use double spaced lines in their submitted papers, and occasionally he liked the consent of a reddened bottom across his knee.

Maisie Barnes wants to get through her senior year as an anthropology major at Hillview University as drama-free as possible. After spending the last two years trying to avoid the attention of Jameson Hughes, she can’t wait to finish her undergrad and transfer to Berkeley for her Master’s.

The week before school starts, and on an impromptu trip into the city to go shopping and have some fun, Maisie meets a man she instantly knows will have a lasting effect on her for the rest of her life… Connor meets a young woman in a darkened club that wields a vulnerability he craves, and he doesn’t know if he’ll ever get enough.

Can Maisie juggle her attraction to her professor, the stress of class, and fending off a wannabe beau? Can Connor sort through his need to possess the young woman with the trusting eyes?

Find out in Extra Credit—an insta-love, short read that has a full epilogue and a guaranteed HEA.

VICIOUS UNION by Jocelyne Soto

Book Review Virginia Lee Blog

 Release Date: August 24

The son of the most dangerous Kingpin in Mexico.

The heir to the throne.

The man that individuals fear the most, next to my father. 

According to my father those are things that I should be proud of. I should be proud of my heritage and wear it on my back with honor. 

I’ll honor my heritage but I will not honor the path that is set out for me. The life that my father lives is not for me. I will do anything in my power to walk away from that life, and that apparently includes getting married in Vegas after a night of drinking. 

She’s beautiful, everything that I have ever wanted, but I can’t have her. Not with the life that I live, not with the blood I have on my hands.

A Castle of Ash by Jane Washington

Book Review Virginia Lee Blog



Title: A Castle of Ash
Series: Tempest of Shadows #4
Author: Jane Washington
Genre: Reverse Harem Romance
Release Date: August 24, 2021


BLURB

“This world has fallen to sickness and shadow. It has bound my hands and blinded me, picking away at the things I love until even my conscience has slipped off to some forlorn cage within my mind, locked away as a traitor. I once feared the storm inside me. Now I would give anything to have it back.”

To prove the purity of my soul, I sacrificed everything. I lost my magic, my best friend, and tied myself to the five kings of the afterworld in unholy matrimony. Now, every day is torture at their hands. I am their final hope, a perfect weapon to wield in the ultimate war still looming ahead of us. They will push me as far as it takes, no matter what.

Every day, I give a little more of myself away, and they’re snapping up each piece as though they have a right.

Every day, the Darkness takes another victim, picking off people all around me until those of us who fight for light and life are outnumbered in a world we’re no longer sure is our own.

The end is drawing near, but the closer it gets, the more impossible our victory seems.

Even after everything I’ve sacrificed … I fear it won’t be enough.

SERIES TRAILER



EXCERPT

“You took the Warmaster to bed?”
“Not yet, apparently,” Jostein answered for me. “But she will.”
“How accurate was this dream of yours?” I pressed. “How can you be sure?”
“You dreamt about it?” Sig interrupted again, his face crinkling up, like he didn’t know whether to laugh, or be embarrassed for Jostein.
“Can you describe it?” I asked, making Bjern snort in amusement. “Sorry,” I added. “It’s just a little hard to wrap my head around right now.”
Jostein seemed surprised. “I saw it quite a few times in quite a few different ways, so it must not be that hard to wrap your head around. Which time would you like me to describe?”
Bjern, Sig and Herra all burst out laughing as my mouth dropped fully open and Frey shot a pitying look my way.
“I just need to clarify.” I was half covering my mouth as I spoke, almost like I was trying to force myself to shut up, even as I was compelled to babble on. “You said that I take him to my bed…”
“Yes, I’m referring to sexual intercourse,” he answered the question I couldn’t quite bring myself to form.
“Like full intercourse?” I choked out, as Bjern snorted and Sig seemed to devolve into a fit of laughing.
“Sexual intercourse?” Bjern asked, a huge grin on his face as he shook his head at Jostein, amused by the verbiage.
“He’s talking about a little bit of horizontal refreshment,” Sig supplied, still in the midst of a fit.
“What?” Frey and I both asked at the same time.
“A little bit of slaying the dragon,” Bjern added.
“Joining giblets,” Jostein inserted, like he was contributing to the conversation in some way.
Maybe he was.
I had no idea.
“Going to blindman’s bluff?” Bjern asked, his eyes twitching between me and Frey, asking like he expected us to suddenly understand the term.
“Smuggling a bone?” Sig had a wide grin.
“Onboarding the captain?” Herra joined in, a twinkle in her eye.
“A good old scrogging!” Bjern had completely forgotten his inside voice by this point.
“What?” I managed to say around a slightly terrified laugh. “Does that mean?”
“Polishing the spear!” Jostein raised a finger, like he had somehow won this game they were playing. “Or in Ven’s case, basically the entire armoury.”

Author Bio


People have often asked me why I don’t write about my adventures raising six sons. I have to admit that I prefer to write their stories as fiction because no one believes the stuff they put me through if I tell it as fact. In fiction I can clean my boys up a little when I like them and make them the heroes of my stories and if they’ve pissed me off, I can make them the villains. It’s been a running joke around our house that mom will put you in her book and kill you off on page fifty, but some know they’re the smelly corpse discovered in the ditch at the very beginning of the story. Heck, it’s not even a threat anymore. My grandkids are begging to be put in my books and even telling me how I can kill them off. I mean really, where’s the threat in that? We put the fun in dysfunctional, what can I say? I have long conversations with my children and grandchildren about blowing things up and how to get rid of bodies. The holidays are never boring around our house.
Willow’s Retreat makes my eighth novel. I have been writing since I was ten years old, but I’ve only been published since 2017. I’m married to my own romantic hero, and we’ve lived several romance tropes from friends-to-lovers reunion beginning, to our second chance romance, blended family romantic adventure. After thirty years of marriage, six sons and twenty-one grandchildren we are still writing our romance book.
