Tarnished Love Release

 




Title: Tarnished Love
Series: Forever Us #4
Author: Bianca Borell
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 11, 2021


BLURB

A love they don’t want, a connection they can’t deny.

Filip du Mont loves everything about women—their softness, their curves, their breathy sighs of pleasure. But he also loves shutting the door behind him when he leaves their beds.

With no desire to give up his playboy ways, and after seeing firsthand the destruction love can wreak, there’s no way he’ll ever fall in love.

Content with her life on the catwalk, and under the blinding lights of the cameras, Chloe Taylor doesn’t need anyone, especially not a prick who thinks he is God’s gift to women. And Filip du Mont is exactly that, the epitome of an entitled heir. She wants nothing to do with him.

If only her body got the memo.

The one thing they agree on is their mutual dislike. Then why can’t they stay away from each other?

One night of passion to work each other out of their systems, sounds like a good idea, so Chloe and Filip give in to lust.

Now they can get back to ignoring each other.

Well, that’s the plan anyway.


*** Can be read as a standalone.

EXCERPT

“Damien, you should have told me you were bringing someone with you,” his mother admonishes. “Regardless, I am so happy you’re here. Nice to meet you, Chloe.” Her black hair is knotted in an elegant low bun, round diamonds in her earlobes, and her eyes, a shade paler and less intense than his, gleaming. I plaster a smile on my face, bathing in her love for him. So, this is how true parental love looks and feels.
“And this is my sister,” he says just before his phone rings. Panic settles in my core, but it quickly turns into frustration. Can’t he bloody turn off his phone for one hour? I grit my teeth at him mouthing “just a moment” with a placating smile on his face that he can shove somewhere else for all I care.
“Hi, I’m Sophia.” His sister extends her hand, and her electric blue eyes shine, a smile lifting her heart-shaped lips. My social skills shrink by the second the more time I spend with them. The du Monts and du Skys won the genetic lottery.
I itch to hide, cover myself up as if I am underdressed. My simple black cocktail dress feels cheap and prickly against my skin compared to their designer outfits. As I peruse my surroundings, a broad chest filling the crispest white shirt I have ever seen catches my attention. My eyes travel up to meet his—brown with specks of gold and green. He has a straight, elegant nose, perfect lush lips, a strong jaw and defined cheeks, his sandy blond hair trimmed at the sides, longer on the top.
His eyes wander down my body as if he’s checking me out, almost clinically. I gnash my teeth when his nose scrunches up, a bored expression plastered on his smug face, and he turns to Sophia, dismissing me. No one ever dismisses me. He opens his mouth, and I straighten my shoulders in offense because, call it intuition: he doesn’t like me.
“Another casualty?” he asks. Sophia’s face contours into sympathy, and it hits me. He’s Filip, Bria’s brother.
“My name is Chloe, not casualty, you prick.”
His lips turn into a half smile, and my knees weaken. What is wrong with me? How in the world can I be attracted to an asshole who looks like his mother is entitlement and his father sex and rudeness?
“The casualty has a name?” he goads.
I shut my eyes at the sarcasm spilling from his sinful mouth. Does this sniffing out weaknesses run in their families?
“Filip, don’t scare her off,” warns Sophia.
“Don’t worry, Sophia,” I say. “It would take a man to do that, not a boy who poses as one.”

A Beaumont Series Next Generation Spin-off
Author: Heidi McLaughlin
Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance
Release Date: August 10, 2021


BLURB

From the New York Times bestselling author of Forever My Girl: The Motion Picture, Heidi McLaughlin delivers a contemporary romance that will leave you dancing in the end zone!

Autumn LaRosa has been playing defense since the moment she met Julius Cunningham. After accepting a position as a meteorologist in Portland, she strives to make a good first impression. Then she meets the arrogant wide receiver who belittles her in front of her new friends. She could have walked off the sting of his bitter words, but he keeps showing up in her social circle.

Now, she is determined to meet him at the line of scrimmage and prove she’s not one to back down.

Julius Cunningham is well aware there’s a flag on the play after his harsh words to Autumn. The more he sees of Portland’s new weather girl, the clearer it becomes his judgments of her were unfounded.

But how can he call a timeout on the animosity he created?

When Autumn attends a charity event with the Pioneer players, she sees an opportunity too tempting to resist. Julius looks miserable being a part of the date auction, making it even more fun for Autumn to bid. Will she use the opportunity for some good old-fashioned payback? Or will this be their fresh start at the twenty-yard line?

Get ready for the snap and sprint for the end zone because Autumn and Julius are headed for either a tackle or a touchdown!

EXCERPT

Everything in the room is white. The couch. The rug. The walls. Even the television has a white border around it. The mantel over the fireplace—white. Same with the picture frames. Everywhere I look, it’s all I see. The living room is supposed to be inviting, welcoming, and yet it feels stressful. I’ve never been the type of person who asks their friends to take off their shoes when they come into their home. I find it rude, but I also respect it if my friends ask me. When you come into my house—well, my soon to be former home—your shoes must be off. Not only off but left outside.
I sit on the couch, with its white pillows, and rest my ankle on my knee. My shoes are on because I’m bitter and angry at the world, the situation I’m in, and my wife. Mostly her, which probably isn’t fair, but her actions have put us in this position.
Elena comes into the room and sighs heavily. I know why and I don’t care. I continue to stare out the window at the blue sky. Elena and I met in college. I was on a full scholarship at the University of Alabama, playing wide receiver, and she worked for my favorite clothing store. I wish I could say it was love at first sight, but it was fear that brought us together. I had been in her store when a tornado warning sounded. Everyone in the store took shelter, except Elena. She stood in the middle of the room with nothing but sheer panic on her face. Her co-workers tried to coax her into the back room, but she was frozen. I went to her, scooped her up, and carried her to the back. She clung to me until the warning was over. The entire time I just talked to her about my life, football, my hopes, and dreams. She told me she moved to Alabama to go to school, but her financial aid fell through, and she was too embarrassed to go home and ask her parents for money. They didn’t want her moving south to begin with, and told her she was making a mistake. She needed to prove them wrong.
After that day, we started hanging out. She’d come to the dorm, help me with my homework, and I’d invite her to games. Our friendship turned romantic a few months later, and after a couple of years of dating, I asked her to marry me. I thought I had found my soulmate. It turns out I was just her meal ticket to stardom.
It’s funny when you’re in a life and death situation. You say a lot of things to the people around you. For me, I’ve always dreamed of playing professional football. I worked my ass off in college to achieve my dream. Elena’s dream was to work in marketing or advertising. That was until we started dating seriously, and her social media skyrocketed. Then, her dream was to become an influencer and eventually a model. I supported each change in her career wholeheartedly because I wanted her to be happy, and I was in love with her. I thought she was in love with me. She told me we had to have a house in Orange County even though we lived in Portland, Oregon. At first, I didn’t understand why but still gave her what she wanted. Everything became clear when some reality TV show about wives announced she was joining the cast. The show was a hit. Her fame grew. And suddenly, she wanted to be an actress. By now, through all of this, we have two children and are splitting our time between Portland, Huntington Beach, her parents in Delaware, and mine in Michigan. An endless cycle of traveling. I tried to talk to her about it. I tried telling her something had to give. At first, she was defensive, telling me I was trying to stifle her creativity. Then she said if I really loved her and the kids, I’d ask for a trade to one of the teams in California. When I told her no, she uttered the word I never thought I’d hear—divorce.
My world was rocked.

Author: Sav R. Miller
Genre: Dark Romance
Release Date: August 10, 2021


BLURB

Elena
To most, Kal Anderson is a villain.
Harbinger of death, keeper of souls, frequenter of nightmares.
Doctor Death. Hades incarnate.
They say he stole me.
Usurped my fiancé and filled the cracks in my heart with empty promises.
Imprinted his crimson fingerprints on my psyche and tried to set me free.
They’re not wrong, per se.
Except it was my choice to stay.

Kal
To most, Elena Ricci is an innocent.
Goddess of springtime, lover of poetry, angel of my nightmares.
Little one. Persephone personified.
They say I ruined her.
Shattered her virtue and devoured her soul like a succulent pomegranate.
Embedded my evil as deep as I could possibly get and tried to set her free.
They’re not wrong, per se.
Except it was she who ruined me.

EXCERPT

“Jesus Christ.” His breaths are harsh against my wet hair, and with his free hand he reaches behind him, shutting off the faucet.

For several minutes, neither one of us moves. We don’t speak, cocooned in the safety of silence, unwilling to be the first to shatter it.

A chill snakes up my arms, making me shiver, and he smirks, finally pulling out of me. I wince at the sudden loss, trying not to pay much attention to the chasm his absence leaves inside me, wondering how similar this will be to the last time we had sex.

“Are you okay?” he asks, setting me on my feet and taking a step back. His gaze sweeps over me, doctor mode in full effect as he assesses my body for signs of distress. A finger brushes the scar on my thigh, and he frowns, a dark look clouding his features. “I shouldn’t have done that.”

I blink, glancing down at where he touches me, wiping some of the smeared blood from my skin. “I liked it.”

One brow arches, and he swallows. “Yeah?”

It’s a single syllable, spoken on the tail end of an exhale, loaded with insecurity. I can feel it, the uncertainty, and it catches me off guard for a moment to think a man as deadly and powerful as Kal might ever feel vulnerable.

Nodding, I cover his hand with my own, bringing it up to where I can feel him leaking from between my thighs. “I like anything you do to me,” I whisper, trying to level the playing field with my admission, even though it’s physically painful for me to indulge.

Still, if Kal Anderson asked me to tear my bleeding heart out of my chest and serve it to him on a silver platter, I’d do it, no questions asked. I’d probably ask him to oversee the operation, to make sure I was doing it correctly.

I just don’t think he returns the sentiment.

EXCERPT:

“This is Dr. Jensen.” I answer the call that my office manager and best friend put on hold for me.

“Dr. Jensen, this is Lieutenant Vasquez with Colton P.D. I oversee our K-9 Unit. A month ago one of our dogs was shot on-duty and he’s still recovering from the shoulder injury, both mentally and physically.”

“Ah, yes, that was Blue, wasn’t it?”

“Yes, it was.”

“What can I help you with, Lieutenant?”

“Well, Blue and his handler, Sergeant Sam Wolfe, will be staying in Bliss Cay this summer for a much needed vacation. Since Blue is still under the care of our local Vet for his injury and PTSD, he’ll need to continue his course of treatment while there. Dr. Jensen, you came highly recommended, and I’m hoping you’ll take point with his care while in Bliss.”

It’s not often I’m speechless, but this is one of those times. Sam Wolfe is coming to Bliss and his boss wants me to take over his dog’s care…for two long months? I’m supposed to be in the same tiny room with my past all summer?

“Dr. Jensen, you still there? Hello?”

“I—I’m here. Sorry, one of my patients got loose.”

“Would you rather call me back?”

“No, no, it’s fine. I got her.” I say, closing my eyes and shaking my head after lying to the police. It was only a little white lie, right? Get it together, Isla.

“So, what do you say? Will you help a police dog in need?”

How can I say no when he puts it like that? Plus…it’s Sam’s dog. “I’ll do it.” I blurt out before changing my mind.

“Wonderful! We really appreciate your assistance. I have to tell you, Blue’s had a pretty rough time the last month, not to mention Sergeant Wolfe. Since the shooting, the two have been inseparable.”

“Really, it’s no problem at all. It’s my job and I’m happy to help in any way I can. So, uh, when will Sergeant Wolfe and Blue be arriving in Bliss?”

“They’ll be there Sunday—and if it’s okay, Sam will stop by your office on Monday to meet you and go over a treatment schedule that works for everyone.”

“So—Sergeant Wolfe doesn’t know I’ll be caring for Blue while they’re here?” I don’t know why I even asked that, it’s unlikely he knows my married name.

“Well, he knows of you, but I wanted to get your approval before I told him you agreed to take Blue on as a patient. I know he’ll be relieved since I mentioned your credentials. He loves that dog as much as he loves his son.”

Son? Sam has a kid? My pulse accelerates at the realization. Clearing my throat, I ask, “I assume his family will be joining him for the summer?” Thump-thump, thump-thump, my heart pounds in my chest. He’s your past Isla.

Mister Know It All Book Blitz

 

Mister Know It All
Amélie S. Duncan
(Cocky Hero Club)
Publication date: August 8th 2021
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Romance

A romantic comedy set in the world of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward’s Stuck Up Suit

What’s a girl to do when she discovers that her boss/boyfriend (I don’t need a lecture, thank you very much!) is a cheating windbag?

Dump him and quit her job, of course.

After that, it was supposed to be the Summer of Me—a totally self-indulgent few months.

Except that I met a drop-dead gorgeous Viking with a bossy attitude.

We clashed on his arrogance and crassness, but geek bonded over Star Wars and Star Trek.

He offered himself as a no-strings-attached candidate for my get-my-groove-back sex plan, and I left because he already had a girlfriend, even if they were on a break.

But I couldn’t stop thinking about him.

I really, really needed to find someone less complicated, but he infiltrated my thoughts.

He was hot, after all (And his towel might have slipped on purpose.) Seriously hot.

No matter how many times I decided not to pursue anything with him, he kept showing a softer side of himself.

But we couldn’t keep going like that, neither here nor there.

Some decisions had to be made.

One that could change everything.

If someone had told me how my Summer of Me would end? I’d never have believed them.

But I regret nothing.

EXCERPT:

“I won’t change for him or any man. No matter how fab I treat them, they still cheat. Maybe I just need to focus on my career and let relationships happen later.”

“What you don’t need to do is waste your prime-time mourning losers. You need to have a passionate fling to get that windbag out of your system. A rebound could make you over, babe.” Hopefully my rebound, if I found one, won’t ask if I’ve come seconds after he does. Thank you, Randall. Pretentious, pipe-sucking ass.

My phone buzzed. Randall’s smug face popped up. Speak of the devil. I swiped the decline button. “He’s still calling.”

“Forget him. What you need is a good fling to recharge your ego. Reach in my bag and check my phone. My Tinder app should be accessible.”

I pulled up her handbag from the back seat and pressed her profile.

My mouth dropped open. “You kept this secret.”

Tam Nguyen—valedictorian, summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, most likely to win a Nobel Prize for physics—had a raunchy profile with pictures of close-up body parts.

“What the hell, Tam? Some creep is copying this on his phone.”

She grinned and lifted her shoulder while keeping her hands on the wheel. “I don’t care. I’m not running for political office. Besides, women shouldn’t be afraid of expressing their sexuality.”

She took the ramp for the highway and increased her speed to join the traffic ahead.

I returned her phone to her purse and groaned. “I’m not ready to advertise or date again. Maybe time alone is good.”

“That’s feeling sorry for yourself bullshit. You fall off; you get back on. And before you find the guy who lives inside your heart, you recharge. I’m not talking about dating. Go to a bar or nightclub and hook up to get him out of your system. Just be safe. Find a man who turns you on. You’re not trying to date him, so you can be as shallow as fuck.”

“Don’t we always go for what attracts us?” I asked.

“Rhetorically speaking. But in reality, not all the time, and you know it. But this time, you do for sure. Kiss the guy in the bar to make sure you won’t end up with a sloppy tongue. Feel his junk under the table too. Or better yet, ask to feel his cock, like you can’t make it out of the bar without touching it, so you can make sure you’re on the same wavelength.”

I shook my head. “That’s your advice, grope a stranger?”

“You’ll thank me later. Trust me, it will save you the naked reveal.”

I howled with laughter. “You’re crazy. I’m feeling up random guys to find the cock-nirvana? I guess this is a bar I never want to return to out of sheer embarrassment.”

“Everyone goes to bars and nightclubs to hook up. Who are they to judge? Oh, and make sure you tell him you want to get fucked, not make love.” She said make love like it was a nasty word. “Keep the convo on sex. Don’t let him talk too much about himself. You don’t want this guy in your head.”

“Am I hooking up, or is this Silence of the Lambs?” I mused.

“These are trade secrets, darling.” We laughed.

Revenge sex aside, I still wasn’t completely sold on a mindless man-toy fling.

PLAYLIST



EXCERPT

I choke on my last sip when my eyes land on the most incredibly gorgeous woman I have ever seen. I get lost in the lethal combination of her alluring beauty and the bubbly personality that shines through, even from this distance.
She’s a goddess beaming so brightly, it’s like she’s radiating a personal force field of joy. I want to soak in her energy. It must be impossible to be unhappy in her presence. I have the oddest feelings; I don’t know her, but it’s as if we have a deep connection. It’s fucking stark-raving mad, but I want to know everything about her. What the fucking fuck is wrong with me? I’ve taken too many hits. This has to be brain damage. Right?
I have an unexpected and sudden urge to go to her. Just looking at her is making me feel happy, genuinely happy, something I haven’t felt in years. Hell, maybe I’ve never been this happy. It makes me feel desperate to meet her, to find a way to keep her, just so this feeling doesn’t go away.
I’ve forgotten where I am and when I finally notice Coach calling me back in the game, he looks pissed. I take one last glance at the precious beauty in the stands, and I find the motivation my game has been missing. I feel challenged to become the fiercest fucking player on the field.
I turn into some kind of ruthless machine; it feels like I’m a wild beast who’s escaped his cage. The animal inside of me is primed, ready to pounce and make his prey submit. The Gladiators expected to play a worn-out, nearly washed-up quarterback. Instead, they got the new me. That woman lit a fire under my ass and our opponent wasn’t at all prepared for it.

Angelbound Cover Reveal

 

Angelbound: German, Russian, Spanish and Chinese issues
Christina Bauer
(Angelbound Origins, #1)
Genres: Fantasy, Paranormal, Young Adult

“Like Shadowhunters…A binge-read book series!” – DesiRae, Goodreads

Eighteen-year-old Myla Lewis is a girl who loves two things: kicking ass and kicking ass. She’s not your every day quasi-demon, part-demon and part-human, girl.

For the past five years, Myla has lived for the days she gets to fight in Purgatory’s arena. When souls want a trial by combat for their right to enter Heaven or Hell, they go up against her, and she hasn’t lost a battle yet. But as she starts her senior year at Purgatory High, the arena fights aren’t enough to keep her spirits up anymore. When the demons start to act weird, even for demons, and the King of the Demons, Armageddon, shows up at Myla’s school, she knows that things are changing and it’s not looking good for the quasi-demons.

Myla starts to question everything, and doesn’t like the answers she finds.

What happened seventeen years ago that turned the quasi-demons into slave labor? Why was her mom always so sad? And why won’t anyone tell her who her father is? Things heat up when Myla meets Lincoln, the High Prince of the Thrax, a super sexy part-human and part-angel demon hunter. But what’s a quasi-demon girl to do when she falls for a demon hunter? It’s a good thing that Myla’s not afraid of breaking a few rules. With a love worth fighting for, Myla’s going to shake up Purgatory.

“This book is so wonderful. It’s filled with action, mystery, and a forbidden romance. Who doesn’t love that?” – Angelic Book Reviews

Author Bio:

Christina Bauer thinks that fantasy books are like bacon: they just make life better. All of which is why she writes romance novels that feature demons, dragons, wizards, witches, elves, elementals, and a bunch of random stuff that she brainstorms while riding the Boston T. Oh, and she includes lots of humor and kick-ass chicks, too.

Christina graduated from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School with BA’s in English along with Television, Radio, and Film Production. She lives in Newton, MA with her husband, son, and semi-insane golden retriever, Ruby.
