Bleu
MacAllister is consumed. A horrific childhood incident has caused every
decision in her life to revolve around bringing a monster to justice. With
years spent studying The Fellowship, an organized crime brotherhood of liars,
thieves, and killers, Bleu will rely on her skills as a special agent to cut
Thane Breckenridge off at the knees. But walking hand in hand with retribution
means risking collateral damage, in the form of Breckenridge’s son
Sinclair—until Sin becomes so much more than Bleu bargained for. She’s always
known this undertaking would place her life in danger—she never imagined her
heart would be as well.
An epic tale of revenge and love in a new romantic trilogy from the New York Times best-selling author of The Beauty Series.
Bleu MacAllister is in hiding less than three months when Sinclair Breckenridge discovers her whereabouts. Her former lover, the future leader of a criminal organization known as The Fellowship, resists the tug of his heart heartstrings in her direction. Instead, he opts to watch over his beloved from afar. And she has no idea. But Sin's sacrifice is short-lived. His bonny lass is a hunted traitor. He fears Abram's assassins are closing in, leaving him with one solution for saving Bleu--make her his wife. Marriage seems an easy fix for their dilemma but wedded bliss is brief when the couple finds trouble lying in wait beyond the realm of the brotherhood. Will the original revenge seeker find herself the object of collateral damage?
Bleu MacAllister’s fate lies in the hands of the enemy. Complicated circumstances have rendered her helpless to escape their clutches so she must await rescue by her less than lily-white knight. All is right again when she’s back in the arms of the man she loves until long buried secrets are unearthed. With them, Bleu finally discovers her mother’s killer along with far more than she could possibly imagine. Can she find happiness with a husband who will go to any length to keep her safe, even if it means denying her of the one thing she believes she wants most in this world?
Georgia resides in rural Mississippi with her wonderful
husband, Jeff, and their two beautiful daughters. She spent fourteen years as a
labor and delivery nurse before she decided to pursue her dream of becoming an
author and hasn’t looked back yet.
When she’s not writing, she’s thinking about writing. When
she’s being domestic, she’s listening to her iPod and visualizing scenes for
her current work in progress. Every story coming from her always has a song to
inspire it.

I get that you probably hate
me. I don't blame you. You'll probably hate me even more once this is all over.
That's okay, too.
Honestly, I hate myself.
But before you make any judgments about me, you should know I
never planned for things to go this way. I really do love him, and I never
meant to hurt him.
It's just that some things are better left unsaid. Some secrets
are meant to be kept.
Still, I can't help feeling like I've just made the biggest
mistake of my life.
My name is Willow Lansing. I'm a gypsy, a vagabond, stealer of
hearts.
And it feels like I'm unraveling at the seams.
EXCERPT:
I sat at the dinette, map unfolded in front of me,
sipping at my extra cream and extra sugar mug of coffee. Hot chocolate might
have been my drink of choice, but days like this one required caffeine.
We had a full day of driving ahead of us, and I needed to get us
off the highway we were on. But in order to do that, I needed to have at
least some sort of idea as to where we were going. I hated doing that,
though—planning our destination. I felt like it made us easier to track.
Suspicious, I know, but I’d apparently become a little paranoid. Rightly so,
considering the razorblades ripping my heart to shreds over not leaving sooner,
for letting myself fall in love, and putting everything at risk.
How could I have been so stupid? So damned careless?
Oh, that’s right . . . Josh.
Just the thought of him triggered a pang in my chest, one so
painfully raw, I was sure my heart would fall right out onto the table, leaving
behind a gaping hole in my chest so deep and wide that it’d never be filled
again. Not by anything or anyone. Because there wasn’t a single person or thing
on this earth could ever give me what he had given me, something I’d
desperately needed when he’d found me on that bridge.
Hope.
As I’d stood up on that ledge that night, looking out
over the water, I thought of how easy it would be to just end it all. I
wouldn’t do it, not as long as Mya needed me. But there’d still been this
sobering realization just before he showed up . . . if I fell, there would be
no one there to catch me. No one to rescue me. Only me and the sky and the
ground below.
So I’d just have to learn how to fly.
Not literally, of course, but figuratively.
Josh had been the one to give me wings with his willingness to
help a complete stranger, a crazy girl standing on a bridge, ready to plummet
to her death—or at the very least contemplating the idea. They grew stronger as
I got to know him, learned just how kind, gentle, caring, and sensitive he
really was. I bloomed under his attention, his affection, his love. And for the
first time in a very long time, I felt free. He had been more than I ever could
have wished for, perfect in every way.
But none of that mattered in the end—not his beautiful
soul, not his deep laugh that warmed me from the inside out, not the
way he loved me without question, limitations, or conditions. It couldn't, no
matter how much I wanted it to. Because things with wings have to fly in order
to survive.

read Tortured first.***
Tortured (Tortured Soul #1) by Kate Givans
They say time heals all wounds. I beg to differ.
It’s been more than a year since the crash that killed my best
friend. Everyone else has moved on with their lives – his girlfriend, his
parents, our friends - everyone except me. But they weren’t there.
They don’t have to relive that horrible night, over and
over, like some sick, twisted movie. I didn’t ask for it, and I couldn’t make
it stop.
Then I met Willow.
With her unwavering compassion and carefree spirit, she put some
slack in the chains holding me to my past. Her bubbly optimism has taught me
what it means to walk away from tragedy and loss a better, stronger man.
There’s just one problem.
Underneath all that
beauty, she’s secretive. Evasive. I’m pretty sure she’s running from something,
but I don’t know what. The closer I get to finding out, the more it seems as if
she’s just another link in my chains of torture.

Lies can hide the best and worst of intentions. The truth falls somewhere in between. Mia Park’s career as a runway model is over, but her relationship with top fashion designer David Madison keeps her picture in the papers and her name rolling off the lips of adoring fans. It’s a life most people dream of, but Mia’s never felt like more of a farce. Lonely and unsatisfied, she makes a reckless decision, and an anonymous tryst with a stranger becomes more than just a fantasy.
When a crazed fan from Mia’s past makes a reappearance, an unlikely partnership is formed between the man who seems to control every part of her life and the one night stand she thought she’d never see again.
With everyone hiding something, it may be difficult to decide who’s in it to win her heart and who’s out to destroy her.
“Are you looking for someone?” I finished my scan of the room and my eyes landed on the handsome stranger next to me. Was I looking for someone? No. I’d been so angry for so long. I wasn’t looking for someone. I was looking for something. Something spontaneous and meaningless. Something that would be my little secret. I needed my own secret. I looked into his eyes. They were so dark. I could get lost in dark, murky eyes like that. “No.” “That’s too bad.” “I’m not sure that it is. I thought maybe I wasn’t looking any more because I’d just found him.”
Author Bio
Two heads are better than one.
One author by another name.
One diabolical plotting genius.
Join forces to write romance that, if not under a pen name, would put their mothers into early graves and leave their husbands scratching their heads.
Wilson Jasper McLaglen IV inherits three things when he loses his parents…his father’s partnership in the law firm he helped build, the stately Southern home he grew up in and the family’s distillery. To the outside world it seems like he has it all. Except someone to share it with.
Elyse Gibbs inherits two things when she loses her parents…a mountain of debt and her little brother. To the first year law school student, both are overwhelming…and it’s a losing battle she is fighting alone.
When Wil McLaglen literally knocks her off her feet, it seems he could be the answer to her prayers. Instead she’s too proud, too headstrong, and she pushes him away. Will she let her pride get in the way of her heart? Wil wants to give her a future, to make her dreams come true, to give her a family. Now if she could only realize she truly is his dream, that her dreams are his dreams…if she could only let him make those dreams a reality, for them all.
She followed Wil out to the center of the court. He stopped just under the basket, facing it. He moved Elyse to stand in front of him, facing the basket as well. He put the ball in her hands, laying his large hands over her tiny ones. He lifted the ball above her head towards the basket and held it there.
“This will help him work on his layups,” Wil explained.
With that he moved her arms and told her when to let go of the ball. She smiled as it easily swished through the net. Once more he repeated the motion, holding the ball above her head, his hands covering hers. He grinned over to where he saw Brody and Mikey on the sidelines before turning back to Elyse, repeating the motion.
By the time she emerged Wil was waiting in the kitchen, picnic basket in hand.
The sight of him in his jeans and button up shirt sent a thrill right through her.
He held out his large hand, taking her tiny one firmly in it, leading them out the back door.
“You feeling up for a walk this morning?” he asked worriedly. “We can always take the golf cart if not.”
“A walk sound great,” she said with a smile. “It’s a beautiful day.”
“I thought you might like to see a little more of the place,” he said, leading her down a paved road behind the house.
She could see several buildings in the distance. She knew from their previous conversations those were the distillery. They continued their walk past those buildings today though, turning to the right behind them. She gasped when she saw the beautiful river running along the property.
“Oh Wil!” she gushed as he led her to the banks.

Why did he have this gnawing feeling deep down in his gut telling him that Elyse was that girl? He’d had that feeling since the moment she dowsed him with coffee on the courthouse steps.

She wasn’t going to open up to him and let him into her life easily. There were a lot of walls built around her. How was he going to convince her he was worth her letting down those walls?

The day Harley Sonnick is released from a three year prison sentence for a crime she didn’t willingly commit, she returns to the only family she has left—the Inferno Glory MC. But the club’s president isn’t ready to forgive her for past sins and turns her away, forcing her to trust in a new club member who’s arguably the sexiest man she’s ever laid eyes on.
Colt Sawyer, a young military veteran like the other MC members, is elusive and doesn’t have much to do with the women throwing themselves at him until Harley comes riding into his life on her own motorcycle. Together with his best friend and fellow MC member Ranger, Colt will do everything in his power to remind Harley what it’s like to be pleasured by a man and make her feel at home despite the reluctance of the MC.
Things take an unexpected turn when Harley’s worldly possessions are ripped away, forcing her to rethink her future. But she isn’t a pathetic princess in need of saving and is reluctant to accept help. Prison made her hard, forcing her to guard her feelings at all costs. So when dark, blue eyed Colt does inexplicable things to both her body and heart, she’s forced down a dark path of passion and desire that threatens all the safeguards she’s set in place.
