Together we will destroy the earth to find the culprits.

But I want more. I want Ryder.

I want us. All of us.

I’m not the only one either. My guys want Ryder as much as I do. My professorhole, my bosshole, and my cinnamon bun are all secretly in love with him too.

If only convincing Ryder to try out this unconventional relationship was easy. He’s a loner, the alpha, and his walls are iron clad.

But I am Queen, and I want him as one of my kings.

I won’t let anything stand in my way.

Excerpt

Zali


I saw it.

A message from one supposedly anonymous person to another.

The message was stark. My chest seized, the breath catching in my lungs. Right there in black and white. A few keystrokes by some random arsehole and Tristan’s life had been endangered.

My hands shook and my gut bottomed out, the floor seemingly falling away from me. It was as if I’d been dropped from my jet without a parachute and was plummeting down, the earth racing up to meet me with devastating consequences.

My throat burned, bile crawling up it as the words in front of me blurred. But there were no tears. There was no panic. Instead, hatred as violent as a Category 5 cyclone was devastating, boiled inside me.

I paced the room, trapped like a wild animal in a cage. I clenched my hands into fists, squeezing them until the crescents left by my nails stung and my fingertips came away red with my own blood. My nostrils flared as I sucked in a breath, and my teeth cracked as I ground my teeth together.

“Ezra,” I barked, and immediately heard footsteps rushing toward me.

He slid to a halt in the doorway, and his eyes widened a fraction before he reached for me. I shook my head, warning him to stay away, but he was undeterred.

“Hey,” he whispered, coming closer and brushing his thumb along my cheek. “What’s happened?”

“I found the threat against Tris,” I ground out in a voice I didn’t recognize as my own.

He froze, the only movement in his body a slow blink. Colour drained from his face, and he sucked in a shuddery breath. “Show me.”

I pointed at the screen and his gaze followed my outstretched arm. But he didn’t step closer. Instead, he grasped my hand and peeled open my fingers, exposing my bloody palm. His eyes softened, and he held my hands gently. I didn’t need his care and compassion though. I needed ruthlessness and anger.

But despite Tristan being the man he loved above anyone else in the world, I hadn’t fully comprehended how incapable of cruel vengeance Ezra truly was until that moment.

“Ry, can you please bring me the first aid kit?” he called out.

“Never mind,” I muttered, pulling my hands free of his gentle hold. “Just… stay out of my way.”

Ezra tugged me close, holding on as I struggled against him, trying to push him away. He sat on my chair, pulled me onto his lap, and locked his arms in place around my waist. I could either elbow him in the nose or sit still.

Tears formed in my eyes, my hands shaking as the enormity of what I had in front of me registered. Tristan—my guy—a man I loved was at risk. Threats had been made against him. Someone had tried to scare him into backing away.

What would happen if he didn’t? There was no doubt in my mind that they’d simply escalate. Threats would become actions. Actions would turn deadly.

“It’s okay. We’re going to fix this,” he murmured against my hair, his deep voice lulling me into a sense of peace.

But it evaporated in a fizz the moment I lifted my gaze to the screen. Tristan’s name and address were front and centre. The content of the most recent note was written out with instructions to deliver it to Tristan’s door. Payment details and a price were set out below. Under it, written by the original poster was, “Accepted.” Below that, “Executed.”

“Can you trace it?” Ezra asked carefully.

“Yes.”

“Then do it.”

I looked at Ezra, searching his gaze for any doubt, for any uncertainty. He was crossing a line that he might not be able to come back from. This wasn’t going to end with me finding out information like we’d done in Monaco. He knew the score. He knew what I would do when I found out who was responsible for Mum’s and Asher’s deaths.

But there was no hesitation.

About the Author

By day Ann Grech used to live in the corporate world and could be found sitting behind a desk typing away at reports and papers or lecturing to a room full of students. She graduated with a PhD in 2016 and is now an over-qualified nerd. But the grind got old, and the voices got louder. She still has the librarian look nailed, but she’s a little freer to be herself now.

She’s never entirely fit in and loves escaping into a book—whether it’s reading or writing one. But she’s found her tribe and loves her book world family. She dislikes cooking, but loves eating, can’t figure out technology, but is addicted to it, and her guilty pleasure is Byron Bay Cookies. Oh and shoes. And lingerie. And maybe handbags too. Well, if we’re being honest, we’d probably have to add her library too given the state of her credit card every month (what can she say, she’s a bookworm at heart)!

In 2019 she was an Award-Winning Finalist in the Fiction: LGBTQ category of the 2019 Best Book Awards sponsored by American Book Fest for her story In Safe Arms.

She also publishes her raunchier short stories under her pen name, Olive Hiscock.

Cover & Excerpt Reveal ~ Small Town Boy by Claire Hastings #Giveaway

SMALL TOWN BOY

Hickory Hills Series #3

by Claire Hastings

Cover & Excerpt Reveal

Release Date: January 11, 2024

Cover Design: Cover Couture
Photo: TGTRN Photography
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Trope: Opposites attract, fish out of water, he falls first, new girl in town, small-town


Synopsis

Landing my dream job was surprisingly easy. Having to relocate to the small town of Hickory Hills, GA?

Not so much. But I’m a woman on a mission, and nothing is going to get in my way.

Until Noel Keller barges into my life.

As a born-and-bred northerner, I have a lot to learn about southern ways. A fact that is on display every time Noel rescues me from some sort of mishap.

It’s hard to ignore the goosebumps when I hear that smooth southern drawl of his. Especially when he calls me honey.

And don’t even get me started on his athletic build. Or that confident smolder that’s enough to overpower the southern summer heat, secretly fueling all my fantasies.

But none of that matters.

I’m here to do a job.

That’s it.

I’ve been hurt before and am not about to go down that road again.

Except plans have a way of changing.

Even when you try your hardest to push them away.

Excerpt

“Truth,” I say, keeping it going. I like this. Just the two us of, no one else to butt in.

“Ummmm…”

“Want to know what the girls always ask?” She nods. “They always want to know the last time I went out with someone.”

“Is that a secret?”

I shrug. Shifting on the stump so that I’m facing her, I scoot forward until our knees are touching. It’s a bold move, but after what she just shared, I feel like a barrier has been broken. That maybe I can push it, just a little.

“I don’t tend to kiss and tell. Which is why none of them know that it’s been awhile.”

“How long is awhile?” she asks, her voice barely above a whisper.

“Little over a year.”

I lean in more, resting a hand on her knee. When she doesn’t flinch or push me away, I relax, letting it slide to the inside.

“Me too,” she replies, leaning in and closing the gap even more. She licks her lips, eyes glued to mine. “I mean, the while part. It’s been closer to two for me.”

“Then maybe one of us should dare the other to fix that.”

Bronwyn sucks in a gulp of air, holding it. I can see the flicker in her eyes and know that it’s reflecting the full-on fire in mine. My mind is racing, wondering if her lips taste like the honey her hair reminds me of.

There’s only one way to find out.

I don’t wait for the dare. I push in closer, closing the small space between us. My hand is still on her knee, acting as an anchor, tethering us together. Her sweet scent overwhelms me, all of my brain power gone. My whole body is acting on its own, focusing on finding her lips with mine.

“Hey y’all!”

Fuck…

💖 𝑩𝑳𝑼𝑹𝑩 💖
 
Packs are pain and bonds are fucking shackles.
 
With the government issuing omega females to Alpha packs like we're social security checks, I cling to my freedom thanks to a black-market suppressant hookup and a lethal family that's ready to execute any Alpha who tries to force a bond.
By day, I work in the family hardware store. By night, I rescue omegas who weren't born with the tools to fight the system like I was.
My life is risk, but I'd never trade it for anything.
Not even for the three dangerously gorgeous men who come sniffing around the store in search of the omega I just snatched from her abusive prison.
Not even when those men smell like they're mine.
But my suppressant hookup just fell through, and I'm on the fast track to a pheromone explosion that will land me in jail, followed by forced bonding.
Or I could just give my body what it so desperately wants and fall into the convenient arms of Austin, Seth, and Cameron.
But outside of the fairytales? There's no such thing as a happily bonded omega.
I'm Dylan St. James, and I'm no princess.
This is a New Adult, M/M/F/M Omegaverse romance. It is Book 1 in a duet and will end on a cliffhanger. As always with my books, this is for readers age 18+ and contains a ton of foul language, steamy scenes, and violent themes. A full list of content warnings can be found in the Author's Note at the front of the book. Happy reading!

Release Blitz ~ Tough Soul by Blake Black


Tough Soul, book two in the Momento Vivere duet by Blake Black out now! Time to binge this why choose duet today!


One Click Your Copy Today!

Cover Designer: Ariadna Basulto with Chaotic Creatives





Blurb:


He almost killed me this time.

Almost.

All the struggles have made me tough, but I will come back stronger.

Opening up did not go as planned, and my feelings are all over the place. I finally found someone to rely on, someone who is made for me.

So why can’t I stop thinking about his two best friends?

Despite all the warnings, my search for the truth continues. I need to know what happened the night my parents died, even if it means I might meet the same fate.

With hints of involvement from people I least expect, I will have to fight harder than ever for myself and my family. And if I fail… the consequences could be deadly.

Is my need for justice worth jeopardizing my new life? Or will my path to the truth be the last twist of the knife?


Tough Soul is book two in the Momento Vivere Duet and cannot be read as a standalone.


Trigger Warnings:


The triggers for this duet include physical and psychological abuse, graphic violence, homophobic actions, fatphobia (both from outside the harem and Carolina's internalized thoughts about herself), and on page murder. Knives and guns are mentioned and used. The FMC is plus sized and struggles with binge eating disorder, she often relies on food for solace. You don’t have to be plus size to binge eat and binge eating does not forcibly lead to being plus size. But in Carolina's case food is her coping mechanism. She is plus size her whole life. She has no friends and finds comfort in food. Carolina gets bullied (only from outside the harem) for being plus size. This is a reverse harem where the FMC will end up with three love interests. The duet is intended for readers aged eighteen and above. It’s a MMFM reverse harem, two of the guys are in a loving relationship with each other.




Author Bio:


Blake Black is a debut author with a passion for the reverse harem genre.


As an avid reader and film buff, Blake often found herself questioning why heroines were forced to choose between love interests – why not choose both, or all?


When she’s not crafting her next spicy scene, Blake loves to drive her convertible, soaking in the beauty of nature.


Powered by her favorite energy drinks, she often writes deep into the night, creating stories filled with trauma, healing, and love that illuminates even the darkest corners.
