Amazon US: http://amzn.to/2jHB6XB Amazon UK: http://amzn.to/2iKtkwA Goodreads: http://bit.ly/2gLjbgR Blurb: Love can be as sweet as honey, or it can sting like a bee. Bo Smith knows that if you go looking for honey, you get stung, so he has his life just how he wants it. No hassles, no complications, and no heartache. As the handsome high school athletics coach, he would be the pick of the small town he grew up in...if he was into commitment, or dating...or even calling back. But he has sworn off anything resembling a future and his mind isn't going to change. Then his eyes lock on the new girl in town...She’s beautiful, intelligent, and full of surprises. Just the kind of complication he has been avoiding. Sophia Brown is looking for the sweet simple life. She has it all planned out. Getting used to life alone isn't easy, but she has her garden, her bees, and her dog Triton to tend to. It's the fresh start she's been dreaming of, surrounded by nothing but open fields to stare at all day. Nothing at all...unless you count the high school football team and their distractingly handsome coach, practicing right across the street. But when sparks fly, Bo must choose between the sting of his past or the sweetness of the future. He may just find that honey tastes good on everything. EXCERPT: “No, no, no! Do not do this. Come on Triton,” I beg as I push him by his rear out the front door. He grunts, stopping to lie down on the doormat panting. Looking up at me with his big caramel eyes, he pleads: ‘Help me mama.’ I huff and blow my bangs out of my eyes. Darn dog plays me like a fiddle. “Please Triton, mama will give you a cookie.” I step in front of him, bracing my legs, and tug on his leash. “Baby come on, let’s go bye bye’s,” I plead with him. His response is a groan and then he flops down on his side. “Ugh…don’t do this now!” I growl down at him with my hands fisted on my hips. He wags his tail twice and paws at the air before me. “King Triton, you get up right now! You are a bad boy.” I use my stern voice with him. He wags his tail and then lets out a whimper. I furrow my brows and get down on my knees, bending over him, “Come on baby, the doctor is going to fix you right up,” I whisper as I scratch his face. He responds with a grunt and licks my face, “Lord your breath stinks. What the hell did you eat today?” If only he could answer, my life would be so much easier right now. I push myself up off the floor and stand on my porch looking around. Even with Triton being a pain in the ass, the beauty of my new neighborhood is breathtaking. Surrounded by mountains and wildlife, it’s idyllic and I drink it in, the crisp morning air filling my lungs. The moment I stepped foot into the town it felt like home. My Mom was right when she said I belonged back here. Her home town. My shoulders slump as I still feel the loss of my parents. A chorus of shouts fill the air and pulls me from my sorrow. I grumble to myself, “Perfect location, right next to a field. My lily white ass it is.” Triton lets out another grunt. “Right, focus Sophia,” I tell myself. What the heck was I thinking getting a dog this big? “Come on boy you have to get up, mama can’t lift you.” I tug on his leash again and he doesn’t move an inch, just lets out a sigh. I look across the street, to the ‘field.’ It’s seven am, on a Saturday no less, and high school football practice is already in full swing. I swallow and thank baby Jesus that in the week since I’ve been here, I haven’t shrieked at the boys or Mr. Holy Hotness their coach for being so loud in the mornings. Plus, who am I kidding? I’ve enjoyed watching him work out with the kids. “Hello, can one of you boys help me?” My voice echoes across the street. Fifty something heads turn my way. Oh. I lift my chin up higher. “Can someone help me lift my dog? Please?” Heads turn as they look back to their stoic coach who’s flipping through a book, studying it behind dark sunglasses. He looks up and nods his head once at the group of boys and they’re off. Three boys come running across the street, one steps ahead of the others. “Hello ma’am, I’m Bobby. That is Pete and Bubba.” He says as he points to the other two. “Hey guys, I’m Sophia Brown.” “Hello Sophia,” says Bubba in a high-pitched voice as his feet shuffle back and forth. Bobby smacks him in the arm, “Your mama would have your head.” “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Brown.” Pete says. Miss Brown? I can’t be much older than these boys. I press my lips together to hold my laughter back. Triton grunts on the floor bringing the attention back to him. I kneel down beside him. “Is he a Saint Bernard?” Bubba asks. “No, he’s a Bernese Mountain Dog.” Triton’s tail thumps against the door. I shake my head and murmur, “Good boy.” I scratch his face and then look up at the boys. “Can you help me get him into the truck?” I point over to it in the driveway. “Sure,” Pete says with enthusiasm. “Hey Triton, these gentlemen are going to help you into the car, okay baby?” The boys step closer and Pete joins me at the front while the other two head down by Triton’s tail. “Okay, you both balance his back side while we get him from up here,” I say as I slide my hands under him. Everyone gets in position and Triton turns his head to the two boys by his rear and lets out a little growl. Each of the boys pull away from him immediately. “Triton! That is a bad boy!” I look at the boys apologetically. “He isn’t mean guys, just a bit grumpy today. Can we try again?” They cautiously make eye contact with each other and nod their heads, putting their hands back under Triton. He turns his head and shows his teeth to Bubba and Bobby. Their eyes go wide and they quickly back off, Bobby looks at me, “I’m sorry Miss Brown, but I don’t want to get bit.” I nod, “I understand. I’ll figure something out.” I say with more confidence than I feel. They stand up and back away from Triton and he shows his teeth at them once more with a low growl. “King Triton, you stop that right now.” He sheepishly looks at me and howls, then plops his head down. The three boys just stand there, “It’s okay, I can get him to move. You boys go back to your practice and thank you for trying.” They look at each other and then back at the practice field, “Sorry, Miss Brown.” Pete sighs and then they silently leave. I stand back up and look down at him thinking about what will get him to move. Cheese is the first thing I can think of. I step over him, go back into the house and run down the hall to the kitchen. Grabbing a slice of cheese from the fridge, I slam the door and turn back. I can see Triton’s ears perk up as I unwrap the cheese, crinkling the wrapper. “Here baby, mama has cheese.” The damn dog doesn’t even turn around, but as I step outside I happen to look across the field where the three boys are animatedly pointing back at Triton as they talk to their coach. He hands one of the boys his book and then looks back at me, or at least I think he does. He has to be one of the only people I know that looks good in aviators. Damn good in fact. He starts walking toward me and suddenly my mouth feels as if I’ve been sucking on cotton balls. I swear I can hear that song from the movie Top Gun playing. Is he walking in slow motion? No, he can’t be. I can’t take my eyes off him as the lyrics take my breath away teasingly echo in my head. As he approaches me, I try to gather myself and give him a welcoming smile. “You might want to stop your dog from eating that cheese,” he states flatly with an upstate accent. I look down at Triton as he stretches his neck to steal the cheese right out of my hand, noisily scarfing it down. I frown at him. He groans. I throw my hands up in the air, “Your belly hurts you big dope. Why did you eat more?” The coach clears his throat. “Oh sorry. Hi, I’m Sophia.” I put my hand out. He looks down and takes it in a quick firm grasp, letting it go just as fast. “Hey, I’m Bo. Did you need some help with your dog?” “Yes, I, uh…yes.” Still feeling the heat of his hand on mine, I manage an “it’s a pleasure to meet you,” before slowly moving my eyes down to Triton so that I can get a good look at him. Damn, they invented Levi’s for a body like that. Heaven. Triton whimpers and rolls on his back. “What’s wrong with him?” Bo asks with an eyebrow raised. I sigh. “He has a bad habit of eating anything and everything he can get his teeth into.” “Ah, I see. You’re new here, right?” I can’t see the expression on his face with those glasses on. “Yeah, word travels fast huh?” “Sweetheart, the minute the house sold, tongues were waggin’.” He gives me a crooked smile. “Good to know. Would you be able to help me lift him into my truck?” “Sure, are you bringing him into the vet in town?” He runs a hand through his hair and rests it on the back of his neck. “I was going to drive him to his old one since I haven’t been able to get in to meet the vet here yet.” Triton looks up at me letting out a part whimper, part bark. “Quit being dramatic,” I chide throwing my hands in the air. Bo chuckles. “He has some personality. How far is the drive?” “Slightly over two hours.” He pauses then tilts his head to the side. “The vet here is excellent, would you like me to call in a recommendation?” I tuck a stray piece of hair behind my ear and smile. “You think they’d see us?” “I think I can get you in.” “I would love that, thank you so much for your hotness…I mean kindness!” I close my eyes, what the fuck? He emits a deep laugh and pulls a phone from his back pocket, quickly sending a text off. “Come on, let’s get this boy into the car.” “Okay, I’ll grab his upper half,” I indicate as I bend down by Triton’s head. “You just get the door to the truck. What’s his name?” He gestures down. “Triton, well King Triton. He only gets called the full name when he’s been bad, like now.” I look down, “You’re a very bad boy.” His rolls to his side, his tail thumps on the doormat and he paws at the air again. Bo cracks a grin. “Alright buddy, you ready?” He squats down and puts his arms around Triton. He growls low. “King Triton.” My shoulders slump with exasperation. Bo pulls a hand away from Triton and holds it up to me for silence. He then looks down at Triton and growls right back in his face. Triton’s tail stops wagging and he tucks it between his legs. Bo then with a grunt, picks him up and cradles him like a baby. “Isn’t he heavy?” I question in shock. “It’s fine--” He doesn’t manage to complete his words before Triton licks his face. Triton’s tail swings back and forth as he keeps on licking Bo’s face while the poor guy carries him to the truck. Bo stops when Triton’s next swipe goes over his sunglasses leaving a big wet streak mark on them. I cover my mouth as I snort with laughter. “A little help here?” he requests as he tries to pull his head back from Triton’s lick attack. “Oh, here, let me,” I offer and step closer pulling the glasses off his face. I freeze, my knees threaten to buckle from the heat of his gaze. Bo’s eyes are a sky blue and scorching like a hot summer’s day. I can’t take my eyes off him. Triton, the brat of a dog, knows I am drooling over him and interrupts us with a whine. I release a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. “I meant the dog, but if you can hold those while we get this guy in the truck?” “Yes, let me open the door.” I turn around and jog over to the truck. Swinging the door wide open, I look back and see him striding with Triton in his arms. I stand back as he sets him in the back cabin and I am blessed with the rear view of him. “Oh my,” I whisper, my mouth dropping open at the perfect sight. He sets Triton down with ease. “Is something wrong?” Bo probes, his brows raised high, making his forehead crinkle with concern. “Not a thing.” Good job Sophia, he almost caught you gawking at his behind. But what a lovely behind it is. “Would you like me to drive?” He takes his glasses out of my hand and starts to clean them on his T-shirt. His shirt lifts slightly and I get a peek at his abs. My face heats and I wipe the sweat off my forehead. I want to see more, but Jesus, get it together Sophia! You’re supposed to be focusing on Triton, not the coach’s magnificent body. “Are you sure you have the time?” I glance over at the football field filled with athletes. “Yeah, they’ll be alright.” “Thanks so much for your help, but if you need to stay here I’m sure I can find someone to help at the vet office.” He looks down into my eyes for a moment, then puts his aviators back on, breaking the contact. “How about you sit in the back with Triton and I’ll drive?” “Sure, since you know where you’re going.” I inwardly sigh with relief. “Thanks.” I reach into my front pocket, fishing out my keys. “Here, you’ll need these.” I place them into Bo’s open hand and the second our skin touches a spark goes through me. I pull it back quickly and rub my palm frowning. What the hell was that? Bo frowns. “Static,” he states gruffly. “You ok?” he asks shaking his hand off. “I’m fine.” Still rubbing my hand, I get in the back with Triton. Bo stands for a brief second at the open door looking in at us, then nods his head once and gets into the driver’s seat.

sbpr-royalscandal-rb

Title: Royal Scandal

Author: Marquita Valentine

Publication Date: January 23rd, 2017

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Royal Scandal, a sexy all-new STANDALONE from Marquita Valentine is now LIVE!!!

Fairy tales do come true—and so do tabloid scandals! New York Times bestselling author Marquita Valentine kicks off a juicy contemporary romance series with a novel about a prince whose best-laid plans go deliciously awry when he marries the maid next door.
Forced to flee to the United States with his siblings after their parents’ assassination, Crown Prince Colin Sinclair takes it upon himself to become the caretaker of his family while hiding out near Charlotte, North Carolina. But after a decade in hiding, the secret’s out and Parliament demands that Colin wed a princess of their choosing. Unwilling to play their game, Colin decides to marry an American instead, and he has the perfect candidate in mind.
As a home-service professional, Della Hughes doesn’t believe in storybook endings. But when her best friend and secret crush reveals that he’s a flesh-and-blood prince, she doesn’t know what to think. Still, she’ll do anything for Colin, including becoming his wife—in name only, of course. But when their plans to stay purely platonic go by the wayside, their fake honeymoon turns all too real. After a week of white-hot nights, Della can no longer deny her feelings—not with a happily ever after so tantalizingly close.

From New York Times best-selling author Cristin Harber and USA Today best-selling author Nikki Sloane writing as Karyn Lawrence comes an exciting collaboration…
It’s a romantic getaway for the newlyweds. Or is it? Parker Black’s brilliant computer skills keep Titan Group running, but now he’s getting some much needed downtime. He’s taking a break from the war room to spend it in the bedroom with his brand-new wife Lexi, and whisks her off to a historic resort nestled in the hills of West Virginia. Only, there’s a secret buried beneath the hotel. What’s hiding in the converted bunker threatens a lot more than just his romantic weekend, and he’s going to need Lexi’s help to crack inside. Cut off from his own security team and facing a ticking clock, Parker’s about to realize there’s no such thing as downtime when you work for Titan.

About the Author:
Karyn Lawrence has been a screenwriter for more than fifteen years, with rather mild success, and grew tired of her stories only reaching a handful of readers. The decision was made to try fiction in early 2013 and once she figured out how to write internal dialogue again, the prose came fast and furious. She most enjoys writing smexy (smart-sexy) books featuring a lovable SOB.
She also writes as USA Today bestselling author Nikki Sloane, who has been a Goodreads Choice Best Debut semi-finalist and a Romance Writers of America RITA© finalist. Karyn is a Chicago native who lives in Kentucky with her epic husband and two adorable sons.

Rosa 

My life changed in the span of twenty-four hours. My family had tried their best to make my world as familiar as possible yet something about their touch and words always felt wrong. Only in my dreams, in the arms of the amber-eyed stranger, I found solace. Until the Pakhan of Bratva showed up, claiming I belonged to him. 

Pakhan

Rosa Giovani became mine. Only I’d failed to protect her from the evil neither of us expected. Pakhan of Bratva lost the desire to keep his sanity intact and settled in the darkness, so consuming he never wanted to come back from it. Until we could meet again, I vowed to destroy everyone and everything in my wake for shattering our hearts. 

Warning: It is necessary to read first Pakhan’s Rose, before starting Pakhan’s Salvation. This book concludes the Pakhan Duet series.

about-the-author-pakhans-salvation-bebas-neue
VFmason.jpg
V.F.Mason always loved reading books and had quite a few fights with her mama over the genre she liked (romance, duh!) She studied filmmaking and thought that would feed her desire for stories, but that didn't happen.

Finally, when she was tired of all those voices in her head, she sat down and wrote a book. It was a huge decision to make and she thanks her friends and family for supporting her in it.
When she is not writing, she can be found with her friends doing all sorts of crazy things or reading recent romance books that were written by her favorite authors.

Blurb

If I dream, will you dare?

All I wanted was my freedom. It's all I'd dreamed of from the first time I stood in the ring. Until I entered Robert Erickson's world. Until Serena. Cruelty and ugliness surrounded me, but she was beautiful and good. I wanted to protect her from her father's world, even though I knew being with her could mean the end of me.

I wanted for nothing as the daughter of one of the richest men in the world. But all my father's money couldn't buy what I truly craved. Until Ryder. I wanted all he was, all he brought out in me. All he made me desire.

Our love was forbidden by the one person who had the power to harm us. We dreamed of more than living in that world, though. We dreamed of having it all, but did we dare?
