Logan Knight is staying with his grandfather while recuperating from an accident that killed his two best friends. He needs time to heal his body and his heart from the tragedy. Libby Turner is on a hell bent mission to keep her grandmother out of an assisted living facility, even if it means masquerading as a seventy-year-old woman. 
 
From the moment the two meet sparks fly, and they can't  keep their hands off each other. The only problem is, neither is looking for a relationship, so they come up with an outrageous solution. Can they stick to their plan of keeping their relationship strictly sexual, or do they give in to the overwhelming love that threatens to claim their hearts in this hot new read by Tory Richards?

New Paranormal Romantic Suspense From Marie Treanor Just Released

Sun, sex and Satanism - and Via is the chief sacrifice...

The seventh child of a seventh child, Via has always lived a life just shy of normal. That life is also a mess. She hears things other people don't, and has prophetic dreams she can never quite remember. Eager to escape, she jumps at the chance for a cushy summer job in Italy - where her life goes from merely messy to downright disastrous.

Taxi driver Giancarlo knows what it's like to feel vulnerable, and can bear any burden - except pity. Rescuing Via from the clutches of a nightmarish satanic cult comes easy. Shielding his heart from her determination to become his lover is a different story. But in her irresistible arms, he begins to believe it's worth the risk.

Then Via discovers why she is the target of Marinuzzi, a murderous Satanist. He wants her newly unleashed psychic gifts for himself, and he'll do anything to convince her to give them up, including trap Via into an impossible choice.

A choice that would save Giancarlo's life - but take away his reason to live.

Warning: This book by Marie Treanor contains edge-of-the-seat sexual tension, some adult language and scenes of satanic orgy.

NYT Bestselling Author Jacquelyn Frank Kicks Off New Series With Today's Release

The first book in Jacquelyn Frank's new SHADOWDWELLER series.

At one with the darkness, the mysterious Shadowdwellers must live as far from lilght-loving humans as possible in order to survive.  Yet one damaged human woman will tempt the man behind the Shadowdwelller throne into a dangerous desire...

Among the Shadowdwellers, Trace holds power that some are willing to kill for.  Without a stranger's aid, one rival would surely have succeeded, but Trace's brush with death is less surprising to him than his reaction to the beautiful, fragile human who heals him.  By rights, Trace should hardly even register Ashla's existence within the realm of Shadowscape, but instead he is drawn to everything about her - her innocence, her courage, and her lush, sensual heat...

After a terrifying car crash, Ashla Townsend wakes up to find that the bustling New York she knew is now eerie and desolate. Just when she's convinced she's alone, Ashla is confronted by a dark warrior who draws her deeper into a world she never knew existed. The bond between Ashla and Trace is a mystery to both, but searching for answers will mean confronting long-hidden secrets, and uncovering a threat that could destroy everything Trace holds precious...

 

 

 
Lucy Monroe's New Goddard Project Novel Hits The Shelves Today

WARNING: MAY BE TOO HOT TO HANDLE

Elle Gray looks like a supermodel, thinks like a super agent, and can kill a man with her bare hands. But when she meets Dr. Beau Ruston, the brilliant scientist and ex-college football star in charge of the project she's been sent to protect, she wants more of her bare self around him than just her hands. If his muscular grace and quick wit hadn't turned her on, there would still be those big brown eyes...watching her suspiciously. With a man this smart and sexy questioning her cover, the bad guys are the least of her problems.

Beau Ruston knows Elle is a government spy, and he doesn't like to be spied on - or lied to, no matter how charming the liar happens to be. Wait, did he say "charming"? Damn hot is more like it. He should know, chemistry is his business, whether it's in the lab or in the bedroom, but the reaction Elle is setting off might be too much for even him to control...

This is the third book in Lucy Monroe's THE GODDARD PROJECT SERIES

 
Just Released In Print - Melissa Schroeder's A Little Harmless Pleasure

Is it love, or a little harmless pleasure?

Second book in Melissa Schroeder's Harmless series.

Cynthia Myers meets Chris Dupree at her former fiance's wedding. After a little dancing, and champagne, she ends up back in Chris's hotel room. For one night of down and dirty sex. That's it, that's all. He lives far away, and she has other things to do...like get a life.

Chris is a switch. He likes to dominate but he also likes to play the role of a submissive from time to time. His last relationship with a sub turned nasty and since then, he has shied away from anything but straight vanilla sex. When he meets Cynthia, he finds a woman who could change his mind. His mate. The only problem is he has to convince her.

In a carefully orchestrated seduction, Chris teaches Cynthia about submission and dominance, allowing her take the reins. As he leads her through pleasures she thought she'd never experience, Cynthia's self confidence soars and she finds herself falling in love with him. But, when he asks for submission in the bedroom, can she surrender to prove her love or was it all about a little harmless pleasure?

This book was previously published, but has been substantially revised and expanded for Samhain Publishing.

Warning, this book contains: Lots of sex, of course; bondage and submission done in a tasteful but wonderfully arousing way, propositions from a drunken woman, hot phone sex, southern accents, Hawaiian scenery, and OH MY, a m/f/m menage that will send tingles all the way to your toes, along with other various body parts. A glass of ice cold water for refreshment is recommended while reading.  

This book also available in ebook format through Samhain Publishing.
