Dishonorable Cover Reveal and a #GIVEAWAY

Coming March 14, 2017

Sofia

I knew little of Raphael Amado’s history with my family, but when he turned up on our doorstep demanding restitution, my grandfather quickly conceded. That restitution? Me.

Six months later, on my eighteenth birthday, Raphael came for me. He stole me from my home, taking me to his Tuscan estate, where from the crumbling chapel to the burnt-down vineyard, to the cellar that haunted him, the past stalked him like a shadow. It waited for him, hid behind corners for him and trapped him at every turn. 

As much as Raphael’s cruelty terrified me, his darkness seduced me. But in the end, it was his tenderness that devastated me.

Raphael

Sofia came to me like an offering. Like a virgin to be sacrificed at the altar. But truth was, her grandfather betrayed her. I guess we had that in common. He’d screwed me too.

I knew hate. I'd vowed vengeance. This was never supposed to be about anything else. But in the end, her innocence broke me. The very thing I would destroy, destroyed me.

Cover Reveal and Giveaway: Retribution #prizes

A cover reveal! It's been a while, but...

My next book, Retribution, will be releasing on January 12, 2016. It's a dark romantic suspense, and the blurb is below. For now, I'm thrilled to share the cover with you. 

A HUGE thanks to L.J. from Mayhem Cover Creations and to photographer Michael Stokes for the cover image. The model, David Byers, sadly, does not have a Facebook page to stalk. I know because I tried.

Adam

Payback’s a bitch — or it would be for Elle.

Fifteen years ago, my sister was kidnapped. For months, she’d endured hell. Somehow, she’d survived it. Someway, she’d escaped her captors. But it hadn’t mattered. In fact, it had been like losing her twice, because six weeks after she came home, she was dead, and the man responsible was alive and well, oblivious to her fate, ignorant to what he had coming.

Fifteen years I’d been waiting for this moment, all that time, planning, preparing, readying to put things into motion. To finally make the SOB pay for what he’d done. 

Killing him was too easy. Too quick. No. There was a much better way to exact revenge.

Take what he loved best. 

Break it. 

Break her.

I just didn’t realize that in the process of destroying the girl, I’d destroy myself.

Elle

“I only want your pain.” 

I hadn’t understood what those words meant, not really. Not until he made me understand.

I noticed Adam the very first day he moved into my building. He was a badass on a bike in a thousand-dollar suit. When he looked at me, it was with a hunger just this side of obscene. One glance from him and I was lost. 

Our meetings were strange, accidental. Too coincidental. There was something about Adam. Something I couldn’t put my finger on. 

Something I couldn’t resist.

He told me I didn’t know him. He warned me to run as far from him as I could. He was moody. Dark. I’d found it romantic. I didn’t know, and I wouldn’t realize until it was too late that he’d meant for me to heed his warnings. That some part of him had hoped I would run, that I would escape him.

For too many years, vengeance had fueled him. It had taught him hate. The object of that hate? My father. And me? I was the means to my father’s end. Adam would destroy my father by destroying me.  

I accused him of being a monster, of being no different than those who took his sister, but even in the harshest moments, all I could see in his eyes was pain. And like a fool, all I wanted was to touch that darkness. 

To make it light.

Retribution is a full-length, Dark Romantic Suspense novel. NO Cliffhanger. Intended for mature readers for explicit erotic content and dub-con D/s scenes.

Cover Reveal: ALPHA

It's that time! Cover Reveal!

I'm thrilled to share the cover and blurb for my next book with you.

Ready?? 

Alpha is the first dark paranormal romance I've done and the first shifter romance I've written in a long while, but I'm kind of excited about it. 

For now, the blurb. Release is scheduled for the coming week. I'll announce the date as soon as possible. 

Zane

I knew one day she’d come looking for answers. I just didn’t expect that day to be today. Hell, I wasn’t any more ready now than I had been six years ago. But here she was asking questions about something she knew nothing about. About people she knew nothing about. 

People. 

I used that term loosely. We were monsters, all of us. Killers. And she sought out the most heinous of all: me. 

Aria Hale came with questions, questions to which only I had the answers, and she had every right to know the truth. But that didn’t mean I’d give it to her. In fact, I’d do whatever it took to keep her from ever finding out what really happened that night.

I could live with blood on my hands, but I couldn’t live knowing she hated me. 

And if she ever found out what I'd done, she would hate me.

Aria

I guess he thought I’d leave the past alone. Let it die its miserable death. He didn’t know me very well though. 

Six years had passed since the night my life changed forever. The night I lost everything. Six long years since the only man who had any answers had disappeared. Zane Von was the key to avenging what happened that night. To understanding why they died and I didn’t.

Neither of us knew it then, but that night, our lives were bound together irrevocably, whether he liked it or not. If he thought I’d walk away, turn my back on my past, then he didn’t know me. 

Alpha is a standalone dark paranormal romance. No cliffhanger. Content may be offensive to sensitive readers and is intended for 18+ due to explicit (D/s) sexual situations and violence.

Coming Soon: Deviant

Well, it's been a while since I've posted here. It's been a busy few months and I'm thrilled to say I will have a new release titled Deviant on July 7th. 

First the cover...

I'm kind of crushing on this guy.

Release Date July 7th, 2015

and the blurb...

Julien

I'm a hit man, an assassin. A deviant by all accounts. I never pretended to be the good guy. 

She was the opposite.

But the minute she pulled the curtains back and saw my face, watched me screwing the blonde who happened to be my next mark, she sealed her own fate. There could be no witnesses, ever.  

I let it go on a few days though. Never closed the curtains, gave her one hell of a show. I liked it, liked seeing her get all hot and bothered. Her face so innocent, so…corruptible. And all that time she was watching, she had no idea I'd seen her, that I was watching her too. 

But all good things must come to an end. 

Imagine my surprise when I turned up to take care of her only to find two goons breaking down her door, weapons in hand. 

Turned out she had a price on her head. Her stepbrother wanted her and he wanted her alive. I'd never been one to pass up an opportunity to collect the kind of money he was offering, especially if I could have some fun while I was at it. 

It just never occurred to me she’d be anything more than my next mark.

Mia

Curiosity killed the kitten. 

I'll never forget the look in his eyes when he said those words.  

When I watched them from the window, I didn't suspect for a moment that he'd seen me, that he was watching me back. Not while he was doing what he was doing to the woman on her knees before him. 

But then she turned up dead, and he turned up in my hotel room, waiting for me in the dark. 

I didn't think for one second him being there that night would save my life. I'd been on the run for two years, but my stepbrother had finally caught up with me. Or his two thugs had. 

Finding out I had a quarter-of-a-million dollar bounty on my head convinced Julien I was more valuable alive than dead. But to collect it would mean returning me to my stepbrother, who had sworn to make me pay for what I'd done. 

Julien was cruel. He was merciless. He scared the crap out of me. But there was something else, something he never wanted me to see. Inside, he was broken, like me.

My stepbrother was wrong if he thought I'd let him get his hands on me ever again. I had no intention of allowing that to happen, even if it meant I'd have to sleep with the devil to survive. 

And I had no doubt Julien was the devil.

* Please note: This standalone dark romantic suspense is complete at 68,500 words. No cliffhanger, only a badass Alpha male who doesn't seem like much of a hero at the start, who uses strong language, and likes dirty, kinky sex. Some readers may find him offensive.

Theirs To Take #satspanks

I've been away from the Saturday Spankings Blog Hop for too many weeks, but I'm thrilled to be here today with the first snippet from my upcoming release, Theirs To Take, due out Wednesday, April 22nd. 

**Theirs To Take is now available for sale at most retailers **

Amazon US

Amazon UK

In this scene, Eva has secretly followed Arthur, her fiancé, and for the first time, sees him for the criminal he truly is.

* * *

"You should have stayed at the hotel like I told you, Eva." Arthur clutched a handful of my hair and painfully turned my head, making me cry out. "But you never were any good at doing what you were told, were you?"

"Stop, please!"

The tip of the needle stabbed into my neck, the pain instantaneous as he depressed the plunger and emptied the contents into me.

"Arthur —"

The men released me as he pulled the needle out. I stumbled forward, everything blurring. I reached out to steady myself, my hands sliding off Arthur's chest, too weak to hold on. 

Arthur's grip in my hair tightened and I took a step as he moved me, but that was my final step, because my legs failed me then. 

* * *

Blurb 

Eva Webb didn't know what she'd find the night she secretly followed her fiancé. She had feared he was meeting another woman. 

But it was so much worse than that.

"My fiancé betrayed me, stealing me in the night, packing me on that truck like an animal to be sold to the highest bidder."

But when the vehicle is ambushed, she is delivered into the hands of her fiancé's worst enemies: vigilante brothers who would stop at nothing to bring him down.

For Gabriel and Syn Rivera, hijacking the truck and stealing its cargo was another job, another way of taking back what was stolen from them.

Discovering Eva on board was an unexpected bonus.

They now held in their grasp the one thing that could take down an entire organization, making her a pawn in a deadly game — a game in which she would need their protection to survive. But that protection would come at a price: the brothers, who have always shared their women, would require her submission.

Eva would soon learn though that in a world where criminals often wear two faces, lust can easily be confused for love — and putting your trust in the wrong people can be a deadly mistake.

Publisher’s Warning: Intended for mature readers. Over 18 only.

This romantic suspense includes MFM Ménage (no sexual contact between the men), graphic sexuality and elements of BDSM. If such content might offend you, please don’t buy this book.
