Title: Urgent: An ABCs of Love Novel
Author: Ember Dante
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Cover Designer: Indie Sage
Publication Date: August 25^th, 2022
Hosted by: Lady Amber's PR

Blurb:

Claire Rossi returned to Chicago determined to maintain her independence. Studying in London for two years opened Claire’s eyes to a world outside the sheltered existence she lived under her overprotective father’s control.

Armed with a college degree and a job at a prestigious public relations firm, Claire returned to Chicago ready for a future filled with possibilities. She soon set her sights on the gorgeous and mysterious manager of the hottest nightclub in town.

A man who also happened to work for her father.

Special Agent Matt Cavalli had successfully infiltrated the notorious Rossi crime family. After four years undercover as John Peretti, he was one of the most trusted men in the organization. But he never expected his assignment would include the boss’s daughter.

Bound by his mission, Matt had no choice but to follow orders. Even though he believed Claire was ignorant of her father’s nefarious activities, she was a means to an end, one that would, unfortunately, become collateral damage. She would never be more than a pawn in a dangerous game of chess.

Or so he thought.

When an unexpected enemy emerges, Matt must decide between loyalty and the woman he loves.

**Urgent is a complete stand-alone in the ABCs of Love series where each author delivers a brand-new story for you to rediscover your ABCs.

NOW LIVE!

John opened his eyes and grabbed my shoulders at the same time. Our gazes locked, and in that moment, I knew we were either about to take a major step forward, or he was going to send me on my way.

I was really, really hoping for the former.

That fear disintegrated when John’s mouth crashed into mine. His aggression surprised me, but I opened for him, letting his tongue in to explore. We exchanged lush licks as our bodies moved in harmony. My arms twisted around his neck. His folded around my waist. Our mouths devoured each other, desperate for connection. Seeking unity.

Damn, the man could kiss.

We broke apart, breathless. Heavy pants filled the air between us.

“Claire…”

I rested a finger over his lips. “No one has to know. We’re both consenting adults. We can do whatever we want.”

“You have no idea what I want,” he groaned.

I didn’t believe that at all. If he felt even a fraction of what I did after that kiss, I knew exactly what he wanted. That kiss left me desperate for more, and I was determined to get it. Sooner rather than later if I had my way.

#NewRelease - Tempted by @renee_harless

Title: Tempted: An ABCs of Love Novel
Author: Renee Harless
Genre: NA Contemporary Romance
Cover Designer: Indie Sage
Publication Date: August 18^th, 2022
Hosted by: Lady Amber's PR

Blurb:

From USA Today bestselling author Renee Harless comes a forbidden, age-gap, love story with a sexy musician and a woman that knows what she wants.

There are many things in life I’d rather forget. But nothing tops walking in on my teenage crush and temporary neighbor in the great outdoors while he showered.

It wasn’t as if I did it on purpose, but he thought I had.

Asher Blake was the head of my favorite band and the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. But to him, I was nothing more than his friend’s daughter.

Or maybe I was wrong.

I wasn’t exactly that awkward doting girl anymore. I was older and no longer off limits. We were two consenting adults. And no one would know what we did behind those cabin walls.

Once our time was up, we could go our separate ways.

Our lives were complicated enough and we didn’t need to add our age difference into the mix.

We threw caution to the wind and gave into temptation, never realizing that it was more than just our secrets that we needed to protect – it was our hearts too.

**Tempted is a complete stand-alone in the ABCs of Love series where each author delivers a brand-new story for you to rediscover your ABCs.

#NewRelease - Jerk by @DarylBanner

Title: Jerk: An ABCs of Love Novel
Author: Daryl Banner
Genre: MM Romance, Second Chance Romance
Cover Designer: Indie Sage
Model: Carlus Tyler Reed
Photographer: Eric David Battershell
Publisher: Frozenfyre Publishing
Publication Date: June 9^th, 2022
Hosted by: Lady Amber's PR

Blurb:

You don't want a nice guy.

Just admit it.

The real guy you want to sweep you off your feet isn’t wearing a cardigan. He won’t remember your anniversaries or bring you hot chocolate on a cold night.

The guy you want is rough, rude, and hotter than sin.

A total jerk.

Still, inexplicably, you’re madly in love with him. Why? Is the sex really that good? Why don’t you want the nice guy? The one you can actually take home to Mom and Dad? The one who smiles with his eyes, who will laugh at your jokes — even the bad ones? The one who will hold you after a hard day, who will run to your side even if it’s inconvenient, who will cherish and worship you like something priceless and precious?

It’s inevitable that guys like me lose hope in ever finding love. Capturing your heart isn’t easy when the world is full of countless jerks you’re so willing to give it to. What’s a nice guy to do when he’s playing a game you won’t let him win?

To tell my story properly, we have to start at the end.

As in: the end of the Mr. Nice Guy I used to be.

“Hey, Romeo.” He smiles, showing the tiniest dimples at the corners of his soft, velvety lips—or at least I imagine they’re velvety, from all the fantasies I’ve had about kissing them. “Your membership is about to expire in a few days, and I just wanted to check if—”

“Sure, I’ll renew.”

“Really? Awesome.” He goes to the computer and starts typing, then frowns. “Wish they’d update the system here. Last gym I worked at, all of this would be online or automated and I wouldn’t have to bug you.”

I prop my elbows on the counter. “Struggles of a privately-owned gym, I guess?”

“You got it.”

My gaze dances down from his pretty, deep brown eyes to his tight polo shirt, the gym logo printed on it, right next to his shiny nametag: Danny Chen.

Danny is a nice guy. A real one. The exact kind I’d swipe right on—even if I knew there was no chance of him swiping right back. A guy I’d happily take on a date, hang out with for hours, laugh at each other’s jokes, and cuddle with while watching a movie neither of us are really paying attention to, our hearts too distracted as they drum with anticipation.

He’s the kind of nice guy where your happiest days aren’t even sexual. They’re emotional, sweet, and meaningful. They’re the mug of hot cocoa by a fire, and the blanket he thoughtfully wraps you in. They’re holding each other in a cushy old armchair that smells like every holiday season, me stroking his arm thoughtfully while telling him about my day. They’re us at a rescue shelter, picking out which sweet puppy to take home, and choosing what we’ll name him or her.

He’s the guy who makes it easy to believe in a happy-ever-after.

I can imagine it all with Danny, as if our life is a beautiful memory I haven’t made yet.

“You’re all set,” he announces with another breath-stealing smile. “Membership renewed.”

And despite all my doubts, I might even have the courage to ask Danny on a date, if it weren’t for one stinging, unfortunate setback...

#BookBlitz - The Bloodlines Legacy Series by @AprylBaker

Title: The Bloodlines Legacy Series

Author: Apryl Baker

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Cover Designer: Angela Fristoe of Covered Creatively

Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR

Blurb:
For the last nine years, Alexandria Reed has been locked away, a prisoner of her own nightmares. Determined to escape, she convinced the doctors she was sane. It wasn’t even that hard really. She leaves behind her fears and joins her family in their new home, Jacob’s Fork, West Virginia, where she plans out her nice, normal life.

But she’s not normal. She can never be normal.

Soon after her arrival to the sleepy little town, Alex comes face to face with her past and learns something terrifying. There’s a secret her family has killed to protect, a secret that has now put her and her brother’s life at risk.

Luka Rinaldi both fascinates and frustrates Alex from the moment she meets him. He’s dark and broody, arrogant, and hot enough to scorch brimstone. She’s drawn to him despite all the warning signs telling her he means her harm. She wants to trust him, but her instincts tell her to run.

Aided by her new friends, who have some dark secrets themselves, can she survive long enough to figure out the secret behind the secret?

Blurb:

Saidie Walker grew up a nice, normal girl—but not everything is as it seems. Even the Walker family has secrets locked away.

Saidie’s grandmother told them stories from their family history about being able to raise the dead. But Saidie believed they were only scary stories meant to frighten naughty children, and necromancers were nothing more than the stuff of nightmares and make-believe.

Until she met Alexandria Blackburne Reed and her powers woke up with a vengeance. Now she’s shipped off to New Orleans to be tutored, but finds herself surrounded by horrors instead.

One bright spot fills her dismal days—Aleric, the guy who’s been assigned as her test subject. He drives her nuts, makes her so mad she's ready to hit something, but the thought of causing him more pain than he's already suffered at Madame's hands is more than she can bear.

Her emerging feelings for him both confuse and excite her. She may have found the one thing she's always wanted, but will it survive amidst all the danger beginning to unfold?

Aleric's past is interwoven with the friends she left back home, and she'll do what she must to protect them all, even if that means dying. Her only hope is to make it home to West Virginia—to her best friend.

It's up to Alexandria to find a way to help Saidie before she loses her to the madness of her necromancy, while dealing with her own pain and heartache.

Can they survive the horrors about to rain down upon them all?

Blurb:

Since stabbing her brother, Alexandria Reed has lived at Compton Academy, a mental institute disguised as a school. But it wasn’t her fault…was it? Her night terrors had become as real to her as breathing, and she could no longer distinguish reality from her nightmares.

After a long road, her doctor has declared her well enough to leave Compton and rejoin her family in the outside world, but she's worried she won't be able to handle it. Turns out she’s right, and the monsters are back. The sights and sounds of the horrific creatures snarling and snapping cause her to regress. To hurt people.

She's strapped down to a bed again, the victim of her own insanity. With the help of Dr. Marcel, she's hopeful she can once again put the nightmares to rest.

Only things aren't as they seem. There's something off about the doctor, and she’s having strange dreams—even stranger than the monsters that haunt her. Dreams of a reality where she’s happy and content, but also full of magic and danger.

In the end, she will have to choose one reality over another.

But where does she belong? In the safe, normal reality—or the one that calls to her insanity?

So who am I?

Well, I’m the crazy girl with an imagination that never shuts up. I LOVE scary movies. My friends laugh at me when I scare myself watching them and tell me to stop watching them, but who doesn’t love to get scared? I grew up in a small town nestled in the southern mountains of West Virginia where I spent days roaming around in the woods, climbing trees, and causing general mayhem. Nights I would stay up reading Nancy Drew by flashlight under the covers until my parents yelled at me to go to sleep.

Now, I live in a small town in West Virginia where I entertain my niece and nephew and watch the cats get teased by the birds and laugh myself silly when they swoop down and then dive back up just out of reach. The cats start yelling something fierce…lol.

I love books, I love writing books, and I love entertaining people with my silly stories.

Title: Wolf Hunter
Author: Harper A. Brooks
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Cover Designer: Ryn Katryn
Publication Date: April 28^th, 2022
Hosted by: Lady Amber's PR

Blurb:

Falling for her target wasn’t part of the plan.

Tasha Ward exists as a phantom. Drifting from place to place, she can blend in to the point of invisibility—a trait highly useful for a deadly assassin like her. But after years of perfecting her skills, she wants to be seen.

No… It’s more than that. She wants the alpha of the murderous Redcliff wolf pack to look her in the eye as she plunges her knife straight through his heart.

Traveling deep into the pack’s territory alone, Tasha’s prepared for war... until she finally faces the pack’s ruggedly sexy leader and does the one thing she’s never done before. Hesitate.

As the new alpha, Reid Holden doesn't agree with many of the traditions his father believed in. Such as taking a woman to sacrifice once a year. Unfortunately, being on top means you’re always a target, and there are venomous snakes everywhere. Even in his own family.

Tasha’s meant to be another enemy, but Reid is finding it impossible to hate her. It doesn’t help that his wolf has already claimed her as its own. She may want him dead, but she may be the one person he’ll end up risking everything for.

Sizzling romance meets pulse-pounding suspense in Wolf Hunter, the latest gripping novel from USA Today Bestselling Author Harper A. Brooks!
