Brutal Mercy
Anya Summers
(Massimo Mafia, #1)
Publication date: December 26th 2023
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance, Suspense

I’m the head of my crime family—they call me the King of Torture. I never show mercy. Never show weakness.

I am the furthest thing from a decent man. Everything good and pure was leached out of me long ago.

Evil permeates every aspect of my life.

But then, battered, bruised, and limping, a gorgeous woman half my age runs toward my compound. Towards me –– not realizing she is running to the man who could usurp the devil.

Yet she looks at me like I am her salvation. My entire being roars that she is meant for me. The only woman who could love a monster.

Now I will stop at nothing to make her mine.

My job is to make women crave me, then use them for whatever benefits the Doughty Family.

I’ve been doing it so long, I thought I’d never know what love really felt like… Until she came back into my life.

McKenna Lowry was my childhood best friend and first love, but I pushed her away and hurt us both.

Now she’s back, and she knows all the secrets I’ve tried to keep hidden. She’s no longer running.

Instead, she’s claiming me as hers, the way she’s always been mine. But I can’t give my heart to her and my body to others…

Can I?

Together, we have to pull off one final job to destroy our enemies so we can leave this mafia lifestyle behind.

But with everything on the line, can we finally get our happily ever after, or will the lies shatter us in the end?

As soon as I see her, I’m bewitched by the bohemian beauty. One look from her and I’m done. Too bad after spending most of the evening together, I forget to get her number or her last name. As the owner of the Chicago Steel, the city’s professional hockey team, you’d think nothing is out of reach for me, but finding her has proved challenging. Months pass, and as my hope of ever finding her fades, she walks through my office door, hired to be my temporary PA.

Nicole
He can’t be real. The summer heat must be getting to me, because everything about this man seems too good to be true. We spend most of the night together, talking and laughing. And guess what… he is the complete package. The one worthy of a trip home to meet the parents. If you ever visited home and hadn’t written it off years ago. But as soon as he appears, he’s gone without a way to contact him. Do I write it off as bad luck, or do I storm their headquarters demanding to be seen? But what if it’s all one-sided and he isn’t longing for me like I do him?

This book is a novella that is connected to the Chicago Steel series but not one of the 8 in the series. It can be read as a stand-alone. It’s a contemporary sports romance, off-limits, boss romance, opposites attract.

A Misfortune of Lake Monsters
Nicole M. Wolverton
Publication date: July 2nd 2024
Genres: Horror, Young Adult

When Legends Bite Back . . .

Lemon Ziegler wants to escape rural Devil’s Elbow, Pennsylvania to attend college–but that’s impossible now that she’s expected to impersonate the town’s lake monster for the rest of her life. Her family has been secretly keeping the legend of Old Lucy, the famed (and very fake) lake monster of Lake Lokakoma, alive for generations, all to keep the tourists coming. Without Lemon, the town dies, and she can’t disappoint her grandparents . . . or tell her best friends about any of it. That includes Troy Ramirez, who has been covertly in love with Lemon for years, afraid to ruin their friendship by confessing his feelings. When a very real and very hungry monster is discovered in the lake, secrets must fall by the wayside, though. Determined to stop the monster, Lemon and her best friends are the only thing standing between Devil’s Elbow and a monster out for blood.

PREORDER BLITZ : Cowboy’s Secret Baby by Clara Pines

Book Review Virginia Lee Blog

Cowboy’s Secret Baby by Clara Pines releases on December 5th!

https://geni.us/CowboySecretBaby

FREE with Kindle Unlimited

Can a secret son and a second chance at love show this wounded quarterback there’s life after football?

Ian Cassidy’s chance to play pro football was shattered along with his shoulder in a terrible accident. But his heart was broken before that, when his college sweetheart dropped him and disappeared without a word.

Returning to his hometown with a life-changing injury instead of a seven-figure contract is humiliating for the former star quarterback. But it’s missing Faith that keeps him up at night.

So, when she appears at Cassidy Farm just in time for the holidays with an adorable little son, and tells Ian that baby Connor is his, he feels like he’s going from the bench to the championships.

After all, how many people get a second chance at true love?

Faith is still madly in love with Ian Cassidy, but she ran from him for a reason, and she’s scared that his declarations now are just an attempt to do the right thing. Seeing him every day and participating in all the charming Christmas events happening in his picturesque small town is exquisite torture. But baby Connor is her whole world and she is determined never to do anything that could hurt his chances to be part of the extended Cassidy family.

Can the tortured cowboy find his way back into Faith’s heart? Or will she put their future as a couple on ice before he can find a way to win back her love, and give baby Connor the family he deserves?

Trinity Falls Sweet Romance is all about finding family – one clean & wholesome romance at a time.

From an ex-football star finding out about a secret baby, to a reserved tech genius who opens his heart to a small-town barista and her adopted daughter, you’ll lose yourself in these feel-good books celebrating love, family, and the very special small town community of Trinity Falls.

PREORDER BLITZ : Holiday Shot by Kat Mizera

Book Review Virginia Lee Blog

Holiday Shot by Kat Mizera releases on December 5th!

https://geni.us/HolidayShot

Available on All Platforms

Welcome to Fort Lauderdale… where the days are hot and the Knights are hotter!

Divorced at forty was never in my game plan. Neither was being a long-distance dad. But when the chance to coach the Lauderdale Knights hockey team came knocking, I couldn’t resist.

I was so focused on the major changes right in front of me, I never saw Autumn Nicholls coming. Blindsided by a whirlwind romance with a woman much younger than me, I’m torn between making her mine and letting her go.

She’s young, beautiful, and just starting out in life, she doesn’t need me or my baggage. But that doesn’t stop her from taking her shot.

The ice may be cold, but our passion is red-hot.

And this Christmas, she’s going to be the gift I give myself.

About the Author:

USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she’s called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She’s never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she’d probably choose the west coast.

A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) – traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible.

Kat’s been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article–a review of a rock concert–for $10 in 1985. Since then she’s been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles.

As you can guess from her Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There’s something enticing about hockey players and romance…
