Tamed - Book 1 by Nell Henderson

Scorching Hot

Ella Hobbs has two big secrets. The first she probably shares with most of the female staff working for the ‘Stone Corporation’ – and that was her enormous crush on the CEO – Sebastian Stone. But her second secret is a little darker.

Ella has two personalities. During the day she is the quiet, drab mouse of an accountant working in the Marketing Department but at night she is someone else. At night she works as a Dominatrix in a BDSM club in the city under the guise of ‘Mistress Marcia’.

These two are worlds apart. Marcia is nothing like Ella – she has none of her softness or timidity. Marcia is harsh and metes out her torments with relish. Ella wouldn’t say boo to a goose.

But these two worlds, these two personalities can’t be kept apart for ever and the catalyst for the inevitable collision is Sebastian Stone himself.

He takes Marcia the Domme and turns her into Ella, his sub. Then the two embark on a roller coaster of a romance that hurtles them both into uncharted emotional ground.

Riley McGregor is a geek trapped in a Good Ole Boy body and as owner of a microbrewery, smart chicks never look at him twice.

Stranded in a Vegas hotel, she accidentally makes a wish—a night of hot sex with the man of her dreams. It's granted. She agrees to dinner, but afterward, she’ll say thanks, but no thanks, and see what’s on the SyFy channel. But when they meet, they're surprised to find they had a shared connection in their past.

Business and Pleasure by Emily Wood


~Mixing Business, Pleasure & a Dark Secret~



Can mixing business and pleasure ever result in a happy ending?

When sexy, rich Lawrence Russo asks Mia to come and work for him in
Italy for two weeks, she jumps at the chance. After all, it beats pole dancing, and the salary he offers her is practically obscene.

A relationship quickly begins to develop between the two, but Mia can't help but wonder if
Lawrence's feelings for her are genuine or if he feels he's just paying for a service.

Even if their relationship is strong enough to survive her insecurities, what will happen when somebody from her past shows up and threatens to reveal her deepest, darkest secret?

This is book 1 of the Rags And Riches series.

Review:

"I enjoyed the seamless flow of the story. The plot moved swiftly... The sex scenes were well-written. I'll definitely read more by this author." ~Long and Short Reviews

A note from Emily Wood

I have always believed that the best stories are the ones that you can't put down, the ones that transport you to a different place and make you believe in the characters. This is exactly why I write… I have always loved the escapism that reading and writing provides, and there is nothing more exciting than imagining your own set of characters, and then letting them practically write the story for you. Writing has always been a dream of mine, and I'm lucky to have the kind of people around me that have always nurtured and encouraged my passion. 

I live a cozy little life in Wales, and when I'm not writing I'm taking care of my young family, studying for a degree in Classical Studies, and training to become a nail technician. I love traveling to new places, meeting new people, and experiencing new things…it's all great inspiration for my books!

Who Is This Handsome Scoundrel?

The American Patriots realize Sarah Turner needs watching. Since her husband's disappearance she has been running King's Landing Inn, a known meeting place for Tory plotting. Forest Irons, a magnetically handsome undercover agent, is sent to spy on the courageous young woman—and his mere presence at the inn is like igniting a powder keg of danger, distrust...and wild desire.

As war sweeps through the colonies and passions flare, Sarah and Forest's desperate need for each other overpowers all else, driving them into the heat of battle, and engulfing them in the flames of a love that knows no bounds.


Reviews: 

"Very strong characters, hunky guy with or without his eye-patch, incredibly brave woman with a sense of humor, terrific writing... this is a real treat. I never tire of reading about our nation's struggles for liberty."

"...a multi-layered story that is deftly and seamlessly woven together. I felt as if I could see, hear, and feel the colonization of America. I highly recommend this book."

A Winning Streak by Tea Cooper

Love in the Time of Ancient Greece

Abandoned at birth, Atalantê, protégé of the Goddess Artemis, is forced into an untenable position by her estranged father, the King of Arcadia—renege on her vow of virginity or condemn her suitors to a sacrificial death. The aristocratic courtier, Melanion, cannot believe anyone would be foolish enough to put their life on the line for the dirty little predator whose reputation for speed and cruelty is legendary. That is until he falls under the spell of her lapis lazuli eyes. Consumed by desire and jealousy, he is determined to win Atalantê’s hand or die trying. He calls upon Aphrodite to assist him, little realizing that her noisome brat, Eros, has the pair of them in his sights and is determined to inject a little spice into their lives. Spice that will devastate the path of true love and incur the wrath of the virgin Goddess.

The Naughty Never Die by Laurie Kellogg

A Daphne du Maurier finalist

If the good die young, then New Jersey's virtuous First Lady should be a cinch to kill. Unless....deep down she's really quite naughty.

The Beauty--a chronic people pleaser who's had enough of her goody-two-shoes life

Since her mother's untimely death, crusader Josephine Callahan has served as
New Jersey's First Lady. Acting as her father's official hostess in the governor's mansion is tantamount to living in a fishbowl, which makes S-E-X extremely difficult. On the brink of a nervous breakdown, frustrated Josie loses her usual good sense along with her cool and lets her assemblyman boyfriend sweet-talk her into an impromptu romantic getaway--something she would never consider if she had a clue someone is trying to kill her.

The Beast--an incurable bad boy who refuses to admit beneath his scars lurks a hero.

A deliberately twisted message, via the governor's spiteful assistant, misleads ex Special Forces officer, DJ Ryder, as to the true objective of his freelance assignment. He's told to, not only track down the governor's classy daughter and hold her in protective custody, but to also teach her a lesson by letting her believe she's been kidnapped.

When Josie discovers the scarred, but still sexy, badass has played her for a fool, she retaliates by feigning a raging case of Stockholm syndrome, teasing the brute until all he can think of is the 'hold her' part of his orders. How can Ryder concentrate on keeping Josie safe when he's busy avoiding the danger she poses to his heart?

What readers are saying:

"…infused with a healthy dose of thrills. I recommend this for readers who like romance with a bit of an edge."

"Although the romance half of the story is very funny, the book also includes an edgy thriller plot that will keep romantic suspense readers turning the pages. I highly recommend."

Fallen For You by Carlie Sexton


The Killer Next Door, Part 1

If you believe your life is the sum total of your choices, what do you do when things just don’t add up? You are about to find out. It won’t be pretty. It won’t be dull. And surely, it won’t be safe. In fact, making just one wrong choice could put evil at your bedside, watching you sleep.

After unimaginable heartbreak stops her world on a dime, Kate falls into a blackness of self blame that takes her to the edge of life itself. As time finally brings light back through tiny cracks of renewed desire, Kate moves out of the prison she's made for herself in her mother’s home to find a new reality, rooming with her best girlfriend, Charlie.

Yet, to be free is to be vulnerable, and Kate’s choices teeter on the line between being happy and being dead.

Care to choose? Here’s your menu: A strangely alluring building manager so possessed with wanting you for his own, he’ll bury more than the fact he has a girlfriend; a buff college student for whom you are clearly hot, as are all the other girls on campus; a pushy lawyer who is as handsome as he is intoxicated with conquest, who doesn’t take no for an answer, who gets what he wants — always.

Sometimes, it’s whom you choose. Sometimes, it’s who chooses you. If you’re Kate, it’s both, and it puts you on a perilous road where good looks and humor are the thin masks of jealous delusion and utter violence.

You’re in trouble when the sum total of your choices is written in blood red.

What readers are saying:

"The author was able to grab me within the first two chapters and held my attention throughout this thrilling book. The chemistry was great, the characters fascinating , the romance was terrific, the suspense was horrifying yet not in anyway gruesome and the story telling was superb."  ~liezelsbookblog.net

"Fallen for You was an intense read, for more than one reason! The steamy scenes coupled with the fear of a creepy stalker left my heart pounding, page after page!" ~A Book A Day

It Started With a House by Beth Prentice


If you love Janet Evanovich...

Meet Lizzie. She’s 31 and having a mid life crisis. So she bought a house. Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

But she gets more than she bargained for. She didn’t expect the engagement ring, the lazy cat, the stalker or the drop dead gorgeous handyman. But she did already have the crazy family and a sex crazed Grandma. So when she decides to find the ring's rightful owner she kind of hoped that the Universe would be on her side. But that would be too easy wouldn’t it?

Lucky for Lizzie the Universe seems to know what it’s doing.

What readers are saying about It Started With a House:

"Loved this book! It has a little bit of everything, mystery, romance & comedy, to keep the pages turning quickly. If you're a fan of Janet Evanovich you'll enjoy this. Elizabeth is not quite as hapless as Stephanie Plum but she's just as endearing and her blunders are very amusing!"



"What every girl dreams of...a true love story. The trail to love is sometimes a rough road but well worth it in the end."



"This was one of the best books I have read in a very long while!"

Breakaway Creek by Heather Garside

Two Love Stories...Intertwined

Two city women – a century apart – find love and adventure with rugged men in the Queensland outback.

Two love stories; two parallel lives; two destinies.

Set in the 19th and 21st centuries, Heather Garside’s debut novel is a passionate rural romance of love and its consequences.

Shelley and Emma are separated by time but bound by a dark secret to a place called Breakaway Creek.

Betrayed by her long-term boyfriend, Shelley Blake has fled the city to return to her home town. Her interest in a photograph of her great-great-grandparents is piqued by her family's reticence about the mystery couple, and a search for answers takes her to the cattle station Breakaway Creek.

Here she meets Luke Sherman, a man embroiled in the bitter ending of his marriage and a heart-breaking separation from his two small boys.

Shelley resists an instant attraction to Luke, as neither is ready for a new relationship.

And, while Luke struggles to reclaim his children, Shelley uncovers the truth about her ancestors, Alex and Emma.

A story of racial bigotry and a love that transcends all obstacles takes the reader back to the pioneering days of the 1890s.

What readers are saying:

"Immediately I am taken back to the sights, sounds and feelings of a boiling hot Queensland summer… I found the characters nicely drawn and believable, and easily followed the two love stories in two different eras. I downloaded the book one afternoon and had it finished the next morning. That shows how much I enjoyed it."
