COVER REVEAL
Title: Can You Hear It
Series: Alpen Springs #1
Author: Casey Diam
Genre: Mature YA/New Adult Romance
Cover Design: Okay Creations
Release Date: August 1, 2019

BLURB 

Secrets.
Deceptions.
Tragedies.
Those were the root of all evil. One those became the root of mine, the day I lost the love of my life. My best friend. My lover.
Everyone disregarded it, ‘let’s face it, Averie, you have the rest of your life ahead of you’ but they were wrong. James was my ever after . . . until Ashton.
If only he didn’t come baring one of the roots of the evils.
A secret.
The reason he wanted me to stay away.
I should have listened, he should have tried harder, but neither of us did either of those things. And if we did, if he had told me when we first met—would it have altered the moment I realized that I was falling for him? The slight variation in the air. The hitch in my breath. The lightness in my chest.
Impossible to know, I’d already fallen.
I was already ruined.

AUTHOR BIO

Some years ago, Casey rediscovered her passion for writing and hasn’t stopped writing since. Her favorite genre is romance with a little angst, which is why she writes sexy, funny, sweet, and emotional stories that are a bit more in depth, but so much fun to read.

Casey has a ridiculously short attention span and loves her coffee and tea without sugar and milk. Apart from reading or writing, she loves to snowboard, even when she’s catching an edge and face-planting in the snow. She absolutely loves it!

Release Date: June 13, 2019

BLURB

Time is a cruel thief…unless you can steal it back.

As a neurologist, Nick Reilly believes everything can be explained by science.
But he can’t explain her—Quinn Stewart, an irresistible patient who knows things about him she shouldn’t. And insists that at some point, she was his wife.

Something else he can’t explain: he remembers her too.

Quinn wakes each morning remembering new details of the life they shared. She’s desperate for the dreams to stop. With each one, she finds herself craving what she had with Nick more than the life—and the fiancé—she already has.

Nick and Quinn share an attraction neither can deny, but one that might destroy everything.

Just like it did before.

EXCERPT 

We walk into the house and I watch her face, hoping, praying, for a reaction. Some memory that will provide an answer we need.
Her mouth curves downward. “It’s just like walking into the home of your favorite childhood friend as an adult. Familiar, but meaningless. Why the hell did I ever think seeing it might heal a brain tumor? I was expecting miracles.”
I return and find my hands wrapping around her arms, forcing her to meet my eye. “Who says it would have to be a miracle?” I ask. “We can’t explain anythingthat’s happening. But there was a time when people couldn’t explain the change in seasons, or sunlight, or gravity. It doesn’t mean there wasn’t an explanation. It just meant it hadn’t been discovered. Why should this be any different?”
She looks away, pressing her lips together. “But the tumor—you don’t actually believe we can stop it.”
I tip her chin up, feeling a little desperate. She can’t start losing hope now. I need her to keep fighting until we find a solution. “Do I think it’s unlikely this can fix the tumor? Yeah. But your tumor is also unlike anything I’ve ever seen. And how could I say it was impossible anyway? Every day, you and I are witnessing the impossible. We’re having the same dreams, for God’s sake. You know things you couldn’t possibly know, and from the moment I met you, it felt like you were…”
“It felt like I was what?”
“Mine,” I reply.
The awkwardness of that word washes over us both. I’ve never called anyone mine in my life, and she is with someone else. But I also know what I said was right. She is meant to be mine, and somehow today I need to convince her of that.

RELEASE BLITZ
Title: Holding Out For Paris
Series: Holding Out #1
Author: Gabrielle Ashton
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 13, 2019

BLURB

Picture this: You pack your bags. Move to Paris. Fall in love.

A dream, right?

Wrong.

Especially when you find out your Mr. Right is actually married. With kids. Don’t even mention the white picket fence.

Heartbroken in the City of Love, the last person Elizabeth Hastings expects to lend her a shoulder to cry on is her brother’s best friend…

Spencer Tate is opening up his first gym in London when a frantic call from his best friend sends him to Paris to check on Sebastian’s baby sister.

If he’s lucky he can stop in for a minute and be back in London the next day. Easy peasy.

Except the dorky bookworm he remembers is now all grown up, with dangerous curves, lips just made for kissing and eyes he could get lost in…

Spencer. Is. Screwed.

EXCERPT

Chapter One

Lizzie

Elizabeth Hastings was wearing a trench coat, black pumps, and nothing else.
She’d never done this before. She wasn’t usually the sort of girl to go out of her way to impress a guy—she’d never had anyone worth the effort before. But boy, was Amaury worth the effort. At least that’s what she told herself every single, terrifying moment there was a bump or quick turn on the metro that threatened to send her toppling forward, giving her fellow passengers a more intimate glimpse than any stranger on public transport should ever see.
When you don’t have a car, Versailles is actually quite difficult to get to from Paris. For Lizzie, at least. She’d never had to worry too much about public transport where she grew up, and to be honest, thanks to her generous trust fund, shouldn’t really have to bother with it here. But when she’d moved to Paris, she had wanted the starving-artist experience. There was no way she could write a masterpiece of the likes of Hemingway or Fitzgerald if she was living it up like some sort of luxury travel blogger. She needed to live a Paris city life in all its glory, inconveniences included.
That is how she found herself on a one-hour, two-train journey from central Paris to a quiet street on the outskirts of Versailles, praying that an errant wind didn’t put her ass on display to Metro Line 4.
She took a deep, nervous breath as she exited the train, holding a little box with his favorite pastries from that shop he loved in Montparnasse. She turned her mind to Amaury to ease her nerves during the walk from the station. It was six months since their first date, six months since he’d swept her off her feet and made her move to Paris unforgettable.
With olive skin that made him look permanently sun-kissed and those striking gray eyes, he was one of the most gorgeous men she had ever seen, with a French accent thrown in for good measure.
She sighed and couldn’t help but smile to herself when she eventually reached his street. Whenever she thought of him, she felt a rush of pure warmth flood her system. He was exactly what she’d fantasized about when she dreamed of finding love in Paris… Older, commanding, mysterious. And so sexy. So unapologetically French.
She glanced up and fidgeted with the belt on her jacket when she reached the picket fence outside his house. They didn’t usually meet up here. Amaury was a successful lawyer and based in Paris, so he’d bought a little apartment there for when he didn’t feel like commuting, which was most of the time. He preferred the city; he thought it was so romantic. Lizzie agreed. That’s why they always spent the night there when they saw each other. The only time she’d been to his house in Versailles was once, after a spontaneous message, instructing her to pack a bag and set aside a weekend… But even then he’d only popped into the house to grab a few things for himself and then they drove off toward the wineries in the south.
He didn’t know she was coming here today, of course. That was the point of a surprise. But she knew he was here this morning; he always was on Sundays. Anyway, she didn’t think he’d mind; she was doing something special for him and it was their anniversary, for crying out loud.
Well, their six-month anniversary. And the anniversary of their first date, not the moment they’d decided to commit to one another. Not that there had actually been a moment like that; they’d never had “the talk”—they didn’t need to. It was obvious from the moment he told her he loved her, and that he’d never met a woman as captivating, as magnifique, as her. Lizzie wasn’t exactly lacking in self-confidence; she didn’t need the poor man to spell out the words be my girlfriend for her to validate their relationship. She could be mature about it all.
“Enough stalling,” she berated herself in a half-whisper, strutting forward through the gate. “Just do it.”
She shook her head, fluffed out her thick, dark hair a bit, then walked up to the door and pressed the bell. Lizzie fidgeted and rocked on her heels; she must have switched positions five times in an attempt to somehow land on one that was casual yet sexy. She would be content to find a position that halfway achieved that.
“Delivery for Ama—” she began but abruptly stopped as the door swung fully open.
Voulez-vous parler avec Papa?” a small, pajama-clad boy piped up, standing at the threshold. He looked about six years old, with a tuft of dark brown hair and piercing gray eyes that looked just Amaury’s.
“Hello? Can I help you?” a blonde with features so flawless, her face looked like it had been sculpted by freaking angels, asked in heavily accented English as she joined the boy.
“I…Um…” Lizzie could barely speak, could barely see. “I think I have the wrong—”
Qui-est-ce?” She knew the voice that asked, “Who is it?” in French. It was Amaury’s. But that couldn’t be right. He lived alone. This couldn’t be his house. She must have confused it with a neighbor. Lizzie took a step back and glanced toward the house next door. It didn’t look like Amaury’s. Maybe his neighbors were just visiting his place?
“She looks like a lost tourist looking for the palace. I’ll help her out. Why don’t you go put Nicolas to bed?” Amaury’s voice rapidly fired off in French, cutting through Lizzie’s haze. He deftly stepped in front of the woman and child then closed the door behind him.
His hand was still on the handle. On his ring finger was a gold band she’d never seen before.
She blinked a few times, but it didn’t move.
“What are you doing here?” Amaury demanded. She’d never heard his voice so hard.
“It’s our anniversary,” she said, still not quite believing this was really happening. She hoped he didn’t hear the tremble in her voice.
“Anniversary? What?” Amaury stepped forward and his long, elegant hands grabbed onto her shoulders. “What were you thinking, showing up here? If my wife found out—”
That snapped her out of it. She gasped as she pushed him away. “Your wife? Your wife! You didn’t think that was an important thing to mention to your girlfriend?”
Amaury laughed. It wasn’t a nice sound. “Girlfriend? You think you’re my girlfriend, cherie?” He laughed harder. “Oh, Americans.”
Her eyes stung, and Amaury’s beautiful face blurred. She felt sick. Ruined. He had a family? What the fuck? She was a mistress? The other woman? Lizzie gulped down the acid that rose in her throat. This couldn’t be happening.
“You said you loved me. You said I captivated you.”
Amaury cut her off. “A man will say a lot of things to get a woman in bed.” He laughed some more. “Did you think you were the only one I fucked in that apartment?”
She didn’t respond. She couldn’t get the words out. They stuck in her throat, choking her.
Amaury turned back to the door. Apparently, he was finished with her. With his hand still on the brass handle, he glanced back over his shoulder at her.
“Come here again and I will have a restraining order filed against you.”
Well, then. That relationship was well and truly over.

Cover Reveal, New Releases

Surprise! Cover Reveal for Helena Hunting

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Pucked series comes a romantic comedy about instant attraction, second chances, and not-so-little white lies.

A Lie for a Lie from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting is coming October 15th, and we have the sexy cover!

Hunting-A Lie for a Lie-28155-CV-FT.jpg

Sometimes I need an escape from the demands, the puck bunnies, and the notoriety that come with being an NHL team captain. I just want to be a normal guy for a few weeks. So when I leave Chicago for some peace and quiet, the last thing I expect is for a gorgeous woman to literally fall into my lap on a flight to Alaska. Even better, she has absolutely no idea who I am.

Lainey is the perfect escape from my life. My plan for seclusion becomes a month long sex fest punctuated with domestic bliss. But it ends just as abruptly as it began. When I’m called away on a family emergency, I realize too late that I have no way to contact Lainey.

A year later, a chance encounter throws Lainey and me together again. But I still have a lie hanging over my head, and Lainey’s keeping secrets of her own. With more than lust at stake, the truth may be our game changer.

New Release – Written With You by Aly Martinez

WWY - RB banner.jpg

“Aly Martinez is one of the best in the business. You have to read her books.” –Meghan March, New York Times Bestselling Author

Written With You, the emotional and highly anticipated conclusion to The Regret Duet from USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez, is available now!

WW You FOR WEB.jpg

When I was fifteen, a single bullet changed my life. I spent the next decade trying to outrun the devastation of my past, building an empire that would shield me from whatever life could throw at me.

But all the money in the world couldn’t help me when I found a screaming newborn abandoned on my doorstep.

I’d never wanted to be a father. Passing the sludge that ran through my veins down to an innocent child seemed like a tragedy. But there she was—pink cheeks, red hair, and mine.

Somehow, against all logic, that little girl became the best thing that ever happened to me. It was impossible to stay lost in the past when I was the only one who could protect her future.

Which is exactly why, when her mother came back four years later, I was ready for battle.

If only I could stop myself from falling in love with her during the war.

Read Kay’s Review: Written With You

Every little girl dreams of the fairytale. The one where the white knight rushes in to save her from the clutches of evil. They fall in love, have babies, and live happily ever after.

By that definition, my life should have been a fairytale too.

When I was eight years old, Caven Hunt saved me from the worst kind of evil to walk the Earth. It didn’t matter that I was a kid. I fell in love with him all the same.

But that was where my fairytale ended.

Years later, a one-night stand during the darkest time imaginable gave us a little girl. It was nothing compared to the pitch black that consumed me when I was forced to leave her with Caven for good.

At the end of every fairytale, the happily-ever-after is the one thing that remains consistent. It wasn’t going to be mine, but there hadn’t been a night that passed where I hadn’t prayed that it would be hers.

I owed Caven my life.

However, I owed that innocent child more.

And that included ripping the heart from my chest and facing her father again.

About Aly

Originally from Savannah, Georgia, USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez now lives in South Carolina with her husband and four young children.

Never one to take herself too seriously, she enjoys cheap wine, mystery leggings, and olives. It should be known, however, that she hates pizza and ice cream, almost as much as writing her bio in the third person.

She passes what little free time she has reading anything and everything she can get her hands on, preferably with a super-sized tumbler of wine by her side.

New Release – Stay by Tia Louise

Stephen Hastings is a control freak.
He’s arrogant. He’s smart as a whip and sexy AF.
He has too much money. He’s bossy, and he’s usually right.
All I saw were his clear blue eyes, tight ass, and ripped torso.
I gladly handed him my V-card that night, ten years ago.
I was so stupid. I swore I’d never be that stupid again…

Emmy Barton works for a dry cleaner?
Yes, that Emmy Barton—long, blonde hair, bright blue eyes, pretty smile…
Sexy little ass. Smart mouth.
She was the only girl who interested me, but I was leaving to be an officer in the Navy.
Now I’m home, running my business. My life is perfectly ordered until I bump into her, divorced and struggling to make ends meet.
I hate seeing her like this. I hate that she married Burt “The Dick” Dickerson.
What an asshole.
She says she hates me, but when we fight, it’s all heat and lust.
I won’t leave her this way.
She will let me help her and her son. She will stay…
It’s a thin line between love and hate, and this line is on fire.
(STAY is a STAND-ALONE enemies-to-lovers, second-chance, marriage of convenience
romance. No cheating. No cliffhangers.)

New Release – On the Rocks by Kandi Steiner

OTR- RB banner.jpg

On the Rocks, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by Kandi Steiner is LIVE!

OTR Cover FINAL.png

Noah Becker is nothing but trouble.

That’s what Mama told me when I was a kid, kicking his pew in church and giggling at the games we’d play. It’s what the town said when his father died and the Becker brothers went wild.

And it’s on repeat in my mind the day I walk into the whiskey distillery where he works to buy a wedding gift for my fiancé.

He’s trouble.

Dirty, sweaty, rude trouble.

No matter how many times I repeat it, I can’t escape Noah in our small Tennessee town. And the more I run into him, the more he infuriates me. Because he sees what no one else does.

He sees me—the real me.

The me I’m not sure I’m allowed to be.

I’m Ruby Grace Barnett, the mayor’s daughter. Soon to be a politician’s wife, just like Mama and Daddy always wanted. Soon to fulfill my family’s legacy, just like I always knew I would.

Until the boy everyone warned me about makes me question everything, like whether the wedding I’m planning is one I even want.

Everyone said Noah Becker was nothing but trouble.

If only I had listened.

A stand-alone, contemporary romance.

About Kandi:

Kandi Steiner is a bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.

An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.” She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a diehard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.

When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer, and sweet wine — not necessarily in that order.
