War By Isabel Lucero Release Date March 16, 2015 Synopsis My father was the leader of a protection racket; a criminal group that uses violence to ensure our clients won’t be harmed or robbed, and that their businesses will remain protected. What we do isn’t legal, but it’s the way we’ve lived for many years now. Memphis Reed—my father—was formidable. He was a man people both respected and feared. He taught me everything he knew, and when he died I was left in charge. Before his death, a battle was brewing on the streets. Lies were told, deceptions were made, and people were killed. People we thought we knew changed, relationships and friendships were torn apart, and loyalties were questioned. After his death, a full on war is raging, and Roman Rios—a man we now know we can’t trust—wants to move in on our business. With me now being the leader of nine men, it’s up to me to protect them from Roman and his own crew of ruthless criminals. I’ll do whatever’s necessary to keep my business my own and protect everything my father worked for. Even if I have to go up against Xavier Delgado. Roman’s number two. A man with no heart and a black soul. A man Roman trained to be as vicious and cold-blooded as he is. A man who once upon a time I thought I was in love with. Yes, I’m a she. My name is Chevelley Reed, and all’s fair in love and war.

**Bound by custom or unique by choice.** There's something about the written word that's pure magic. Possibly it's the fact that there are 26 letters in the English alphabet, and they can create something so beautiful or so empowering that they're able to change our lives. How important is it that we break suit and stretch our minds? I like to think of myself as 'unique'. My stories aren't for everyone, and sometimes I may push what you believe to be 'normal'. Normal is subjective. I prefer to be known as a person who's never been 'bound by custom' but is 'unique by choice'.

NO! When freelance photographer, Corinne Lee, is required to visually document the nationwide tour of Wild Nights Male Revue, she finds herself in a world of near-naked, testosterone-fuelled men on stage—not her photographic muse of choice. She also finds herself in the arms of Josh, the revue’s star performer. Josh Adams thrives on the limelight, the stage and, most of all, the attention of women who endlessly throw themselves at him. He dances sex, speaks sex, breathes sex … is sex! Josh lives for sex, but never with the same woman. When both opinionated and headstrong characters are closely thrust together in a lust-ridden and sexually-charged environment, which of the two will break first? Will Josh realise that Corinne could be the exception to his ‘no strings’ rule? Or will Corinne let go of the fantasy of finding Mr One and Only? Excerpt I glanced down, spying his sweat shorts and also noticing that he wasn’t wearing a t-shirt. Fuck the stars, he has a fine body. My cheeks flushed. Yes, I felt them heat and no doubt turn pink with embarrassment. “You want to wrap your lips around my cock, don’t you?” he asked with a low tone, snapping my eyes to meet his. “Go ahead, I’d like to know what the back of your throat feels like.” Staring at him for what seemed like an eternity, I went from completely blown away by how bold and disgustingly crude he was, to being offended and ready to kick him in the balls again, to knowing exactly what he was doing. His conceited expression—the high arched eyebrow and devilish smirk—was an obvious giveaway that he was trying to unsettle me … press my buttons. “You’re disgusting, and you have absolutely no tact. And I know what you’re doing, Josh. It’s not going to work. I’m not taking you salty, slimy bait.” He laughed. “My salty, slimy bait, huh?” “Yeah!” I gave him a sarcastic grin. “So don’t even bother.” Josh pointed to his chest. “So what you’re saying is that you don’t want to fuck me and run your hands over this?” I glimpsed at the perfection that was his chiselled pectoral muscles and the ink that decorated his left shoulder and bicep. “Nn… no, I don’t,” I answered, my stutter sounding unconvincing, even to myself. “I think you do.” “Look, I’ll admit that you’re very nice to look at. Of course you are. You have to be. You’re a male revue performer. But that doesn’t mean I want to jump into bed with you.” “Who said anything about a bed, Sweetheart. I can fuck you free-standing.” The thought of that set off my clitoral alarm clock and awoke my pussy. “You can also fuck yourself free-standing,” I retorted, shifting in my seat and ignoring the buzzing between my legs. “Unlike you, I prefer one sexual partner, to give myself to someone who appreciates me and only me. You? You give yourself more than Santa gives presents.” Josh bit the end of his ice cream cone. “Santa isn’t real.” “You’re really annoying,” I blurted out, frustrated over everything about him, especially the biting of the end of his ice cream cone. That shit pisses me off. “You’re a virgin, aren’t you? That’s why you don’t want to fuck me like all the others do.” “That’s it!” I said, standing up and brushing the sand off my shorts. “I’m out of here.” “It’s nothing to be ashamed of, Sweetheart. At one point you have to eventually say goodbye to your virtue. Might as well be now … with me.” Standing above him, I ran my hands through my hair with frustration. “I’m not a virgin, Josh. I’ve fucked before … many times. And stop calling me sweetheart.” Bending over, I picked up my camera and camera bag. “And why am I even explaining myself to you?” “You’re hot when you’re bitchy.” “Fuck you,” I spat out, angry with myself for taking his salty, slimy bait. “See? I knew you wanted to.” Growling, I turned and walked away. “Next time you growl, Sweetheart, you’ll be doing it with my cock between your legs,” he called out. Raising my hand, I flipped him the bird without even looking back. An amused chuckle, followed by “See you on Wednesday” was his only response. Giveaway About The Author “I'm an author. I am married.

Little did she realize that Jeremy claimed her has his Old Lady, and he was determined to get Nicole back. In their rescue mission, the rivals, Devils MC, takes Jeremy and Hunter hostage. However, Hunter comes to find his past surfacing. Eva, legally still his wife, was now Jax’s Old Lady. The deep secret that Eva holds is the one thing that separated Hunter and her years ago.

Will Jeremy make it out of Idaho alive and with Nicole, or will he and his MC fall before the Devils. Fall in-love with Hunter and Eva’s story while Jeremy fights for what he loves most. Who will make it out alive? Excerpt Eva “Baby,” I barely got out as I saw the first tear escape his eye. My legs went out from underneath me; Hunter resumed his position as my body fell to the ground. He straddled my torso, bent on his knees above me, strangling the life out of me. He quickly glanced down at my hands, spotting my wedding ring, and a sob broke through his gritted teeth, and his hands suddenly dropped to the ground. Thank you, Jesus! I gulped air into my now burning lungs, which put me in a coughing fit. As soon as I made eye contact with Hunter, I cupped his head that was now bowed down, resting on my chest. Slowly, I pulled his heavy head up. Hunter’s face was now full of pain; teardrops fell from his dimpled cheeks, and onto my chest. “I can’t…I fuckin’ love you too damn much to kill you.” His confession stilled my heart. I didn’t know what to say; all that was left was to do. Gently wiping away the sweat and tears from his face with the bottom of my tank top, I sat up on kitchen floor. Hunter sat back on his haunches, his shoulders rolled forward; the look of defeat was the very definition of how he looked. I knelt up onto my knees in front of him, our kneecaps touching. I was in love with the man who almost just killed me by asphyxiation. I’m fucking fucked. I know the alcohol played a part in his emotional display, but I’d never seen him like this. Broken. I stroked back his hair, and pulled him up to face me; Hunter now straightened up onto his knees, my head had to tip back so that I could see the man I loved. My eyes roamed his face, first his eyes, then his lips. Hunter was doing the same to me; the tension between us could have been cut with a knife. “Then don’t…” I trailed off as Hunter’s lips came crashing down onto mine. I pressed my body flush with his. As he groaned I opened my mouth, welcoming him into me. Hunter’s large hands trailed down my back, and cupped my ass. Eager, he lifted me up, and my legs wrapped around his waist. As Hunter held onto me, he pushed off the ground one leg at a time, with me latched onto the front of his body. Stumbling in the hallway, Hunter bumped my back into the wall as he stumbled over fallen picture frames. I tore my mouth away from his as I leaned back and ripped my tank and sports bra over my head.

His voice held an edge, almost as if his question meant a lot more than what he asked.

My eyes widened. “You remembered what I told you…that first breakfast when you kissed me.” He sat straighter, tension rippling in his body. “I remember everything, esclave. I remember how you smell, how you taste. I remember how you feel inside and how terrified you were when I found you at Lefebvre’s residence. I also know things you haven’t told me. You secretly like what I do to you. You think you hide it, but I know that darkness in your eyes.

Dropping down on to a chair, I wait for him to fill me in. As Sabrina takes a seat on the arm of the chair and sets a reassuring hand on my shoulder, my stomach sinks. Something is wrong. Raking a hand through his hair, Dante lets out a frustrated sigh. “There’s no easy way to say this, so I’m just going to give it to you straight. Exton’s been arrested for assault. He’s in jail.” Jumping from my seat I cry out in shock. “What the hell are we doing sitting? We need to go get him out!” “There’s nothing that we can do until tomorrow,” He answers. “His bail hearing will happen in the morning. I need you to pack so that we can be there.” Looking over at Sabrina, I try to comprehend what’s going on. “I don’t understand—what? Why would we need to fly?” “That would be because he’s being held at the Small Towne police department.” Strictly Temporary Volume One ONLY $0.99 Amazon US: http://amzn.to/1x7HQjY Amazon UK: http://amzn.to/14MFqcs Goodreads Link: http://bit.ly/1CTZPva Giveaway About The Author Ella Fox writes like a woman possessed whenever she gets the chance!

Stalk Her: Facebook | Twitter | Pinterest | Website | Goodreads | Newsletter Synopsis One night of fun in New York City, lands news researcher, Carrie, in the middle of the most important story of her life. With her friend April now abducted by armed men, Carrie immediately seeks help from the police. There, she finds an old high school friend, Blake, working and in the middle of a human trafficking investigation that April may have fallen prey to. Old friends will have to wade through their own dark pasts and band together to rescue April from the clutches of a sadistic ring. But, what they uncover, proves to make their search even more desperate. As April's life hangs in the balance, can Carrie and Blake break through their trust issues and find her before its too late? Purchase Links Excerpt Carrie Everything Blake said washes over me, and with it, the realizations surface hard and fast. My best friend’s uncle is a kidnapper. April is a pawn. They will probably kill her. There’s nothing I can do. Thank God I got away, but now I may lose my best friend forever. And lastly, how did I know nothing about this? It all makes sense, though. This is the reason April’s mom always kept them away from her uncle. This is the reason she’s been acting weird, and this is what made April so reluctant to go the club. I can’t believe she wouldn’t tell me something this big. Maybe she didn’t know? The thoughts are endless, swirling around my head. I don’t know where to begin, but I know one thing: there’s no way I can be alone. No matter how much I want to. “So, where’s your place then?” I ask him directly, and there’s immediate relief on his face that I’m considering it. Blake She’s finally starting to unwind. I tell myself I should be keeping notes on the progress of my witness. But who am I kidding? I’ve been watching her like a hawk from the moment I saw her, and it has nothing to do with keeping witness notes. I’ve done my fair share of tough assignments in this job, but this is hard in a different way. Sticking like glue to the woman who got away. She was the first one to break me back then, and it sucked. One moment I’m getting up the courage to ask her out, and the next she leaves for the entire summer and comes back acting like I’m the fucking invisible man. Christ, we were good friends. It was a waste. I have no idea what I did or didn’t do. She just never called again. Women. This is why they have a bad reputation. This is why we need a manual. Things break on the inside, and we don’t even know they need repairing before they chew us out or take off. Not long after it went sour with Carrie, my mom finally snapped. She caught Dad spending money on unsavory pussy and left him. Well, she left us all, really. Brenda and I had to deal with his rages after that. The Wiley old bastard made sure he didn’t take it too far because he needed us. Without Mom in the picture, he had no one to pick on. He didn’t want to be alone with his resentments and pain. I wish we’d had the courage to leave earlier, but we needed to hit rock bottom before we saw there was another way. Change is like that. Sometimes shit needs to get utterly unbearable.
