Book Description:  

Exiled from her realm, living with the Black Widow Curse, Spirit Guide is at the whims of the dark one and a dark witch.  Fairy Nymphs may help and a high demon has grown tired of the politics.

Will she break her curse with her twin soul?










Excerpt:

In the empty space above the center of the table a heat emerged and with it a face that appeared through the smoke and flames that engulfed the space above the table.  The demon did not make a total appearance but almost appeared as though he was checking a part of himself through from his own realm. “Oh, dark sister, you call upon me. What do you wish to know from the dark places I only know?”  the demon asked.
“Oh, dark one, hear my plea. I beg of you to unveil the workings of the curse on Meridian!” Raina shouted out.
The demon answered Raina, with ease. “The curse bestowed on the once-spirit guide is The Black Widow curse, and one that only a dark one can cast.  A dark one born of a demon with powers for only the dark with a heart of black.”
“Dark one, I am in your debt. We understand, on the surface, who has cast this curse on Meridian.  We now need to understand how we may find a way to break this curse,” Raina spoke to the demon.
The demon gave his answer in riddle form.
The being whose work is dark can only be stopped with the twin soul.
The being you seek is hard to hold.
Spirit guides who engage with a mortal are not pure of heart in that act, but in the face of true love all remains intact.   
Meridian does not trust herself in her choice.
She will not listen to her inner voice.
So many can enter her mind, her greatest challenge in the true find.
The demon disappeared and was gone from sight.

RELEASE BOOST - Unwrapping His Mountain Package




Title: Unwrapping His Mountain Package
Series: Blackthorn Mountain Men #7
Author: Madison Faye
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: December 17, 2018



Blurb

Big truck, hard abs, filthy mouth, and dominant af.
The hardest new alpha on the mountain’s got a very huge package.
And this Christmas, it’s all for one lucky lady…

Outlaw. Soldier. Villain. Hero. Smuggler for the mob. I’m whatever the highest bidder needs me to be, and I don’t ask questions.

That is, until a freak avalanche sends me crashing over a cliff up on Blackthorn Mountain, and I find out what—or who—I’m really carrying.

She’s innocent and tempting—the blonde and beautiful little captive I didn’t even know I had. Legs for days, curves that beg for my rough hands, and a sassy spitfire attitude that gets my pulse roaring.

The mountain blizzard has us trapped. Just the two of us in an abandoned cabin, on Christmas Eve, with nothing but our body heat to keep warm. I know she’s off-limits. I know the mob boss who’s paying me wants to sell her to settle a debt. But once I’ve had a taste of Holly, there ain’t no way I’m letting that happen.

She came to me by accident. But I found her. I unwrapped her. I made her mine.

The storm wants to bury us. The mob wants to take her from me.

But she’s my Christmas miracle. She’s my pretty little present, and I’m going to unwrap every inch of her with my teeth.

She was never meant for me. But now, I’m keeping her all to myself.

Excerpt

PROLOGUE

COLE

Have you ever been to a funeral where the preacher stands before the friends and loved ones of the deceased and talks about how shitty the person was? How he fucked around on his wife? Or spent his family’s life savings to feed his gambling addiction? How about during his bachelor party when he snorted coke off a hooker’s ass?
Me neither.
Why is it that we’re fucking saints the moment we die?
You hear the preacher say things like, “Oh, John Smith was a lovely man who loved his wife and kids,” when he should really be saying, “John Smith was a worthless piece of shit who fucked the underage babysitter every chance he fucking got while his wife was busy working two jobs and raising his ungrateful children.”
And let’s not forget that the deceased in that casket before you never even went to church. Let alone knew the preacher who speaks so highly of him. All he knows are the stories the blinded loved ones wrote down on a little card for him to share.
He’s a fucking puppet.
I haven’t read the Bible word for word, but I know the Lord says if we confess our sins and ask for forgiveness, he will cleanse our souls, and we will be forgiven.
Poof. It’s like magic.
Now that begs the question–what if you’re not sorry? What if you don’t care to be forgiven?
No amount of holy water could cleanse my soul, and I’m okay with that because when I sinned, I understood that I would one day have to pay. We’re all going to die eventually. You can be one of those people who bury your head in the sand to avoid talking about it all you want, but it’s life!
Live or die.
Heaven or hell.
Angel or devil.
It’s black and white. There are no gray areas.
So tell me ... when you’re lying in that casket in front of your friends and family, what are they going to think of you? Are they gonna believe that preacher who talks bullshit, or are they gonna know you didn’t care if you were going to burn for eternity?
I’m not a religious person. Obviously. But I do know this. When I am damned to hell, it’ll be because I fucking earned it.

The Wish of Xmas Present

Christmas Desserts HTML


Dr. Malcolm Styles is the charming and adorably sappy hero in The Perks of Higher Ed and The Wish of Xmas Present.  Dr. Sky Ellis loves Malcolm just the way he is, including his junk food junkie habits and his love for all things sweet and chocolate. In The Wish of Xmas Present, Sky cooks Malcolm sweet potato pie and triple layer chocolate cake, two family recipes she learned how to make from her mother.
“So, you’d rather have candy corn and caramel apples than the sweet potato pie and triple layer chocolate cake I made you?”
“You made me what?”
“You heard me.”
“Where are they?”
“In your refrigerator.”
“How did you get them in there?”
“I used the spare key you left at my apartment.”
“You little… I don’t care. Let’s go.”

Yes, Malcolm loves desserts almost as much as he loves Sky.
“Since you didn’t bring any whipping cream, buy some for my birthday trip. Butterscotch, caramel, orange, or lemon. Chocolate, salted peanut butter, and brown sugar cinnamon would be redundant. I got those already taken care of.”
Sky’s eyes snapped open and stared at Malcolm. “You did not just say that.”
“You know I’m right. Chocolate, salted peanut butter, and brown sugar cinnamon, you’re getting all three now.” He pulled Sky even closer and whispered in her ear. “You love it. It’s okay to admit being a Malcolm Styles junk food junkie. I’m the best kind of food addiction, and you get a work out when you have me. A win-win.”

Now that Malcolm knows Sky is a whiz in the kitchen, especially with desserts, he made her a top ten list of his favorite holiday desserts. He’s hoping, with a bit of coaxing and a lot of kissing, Sky will make his holiday dream come true. If you think sweet treats are Malcolm’s only wish for Christmas, think again. Our romantic and sappy hero has plans for Sky, a present for their future.

Here’s Malcolm’s Top Ten Xmas Desserts. What’s your favorite?

Excerpt:

“Oh my god. So good, Sky. So damn good.” Malcolm moaned, licking out his tongue and rimming his lips. “So good, baby.”
He moaned again and again.
Sky smiled. How could she not with Malcolm’s passionate reaction?
“Come here, you’re a mess.”
Sky reached for Malcolm, but he intercepted the hand going to his face. “Not with the paper towel. Use your tongue.”
“My tongue?”
“Yeah, I want you to taste yourself on me.”
“You mean taste my cooking on you.”
“No, baby, I said what I meant. If you want to remove the chocolate frosting from my lips, use that long, sexy tongue of yours.”
Heat and desire flooded Sky’s system, fueling the low buzz of need watching Malcolm savor her triple layer chocolate cake had created within her.
He ate another piece, fork going to his mouth. Lips parted, tongue peeked out and tasted before Malcolm consumed the moist, rich chocolate. “If you want to clean me up do it properly, Dr. Ellis.”
Oh, Sky damn sure wanted to lick him clean. When Malcolm had made a show of dragging her from his sister’s house, with the intent of driving them back to his home to eat the cake and pie Sky had made for his birthday, she’d assumed, like everyone else, it was all for show, and they would have sex as soon as they reached his house. But no, being a true junk food junkie, Malcolm had gone straight to his refrigerator, found the desserts and pulled them out. He didn’t even bother with the ice cream Sky had stored in his freezer when she’d put away the sweet potato pie and triple layer chocolate cake.
They sat beside each other, a half-eaten pie across the table and a fist-high slice of cake on a saucer in front of Malcolm. He’d consumed a tall glass of milk after his third slice of chocolate cake. How he wasn’t full and his suit not bursting from the seams, she didn’t know.
Sky scooted her chair around, so they faced each other. “You’re a messy eater.”
Dark-brown eyes lowered to sensual slits. “You knew that about me already.”
Malcolm’s erotic voice conjured a ghost-like feel of his head between her thighs, mouth and tongue eating his fill of her.
