Billionaire
Puppy Love
A sexy, busy corporate CEO and billionaire hires an
attractive woman as his live-in pet sitter when a basket of puppies is dumped
at his corporate office by his zany aunt who wants him to settle down and find
love.
Excerpt
This was a date, not a business meeting, and she’d taken the
job as his pet sitter in hopes of being his PA. Well, they could spend time
together, and she would keep things very professional. Friendly, but not
romantic.
They stopped to admire the silvery light of the moon shining
on the nearly flat ocean. Emma sighed and plopped onto the sand.
Max sat next to her. “I was going to be a gentleman and
remove my jacket so you wouldn’t get your dress sandy. And then I remembered I
didn’t wear a jacket.”
She gave him a shy smile. “I like you in these clothes
better than a suit.”
He leaned close. “Look at that moon,” he murmured, sliding
an arm around her waist.
And then he was stroking a hand down her back, his touch
assured and confident, but amid the hunger on his face was absolute tenderness.
The tender look evaporated all her resolve. Emma fell
backwards onto the sand on her side. Max did the same, facing her.
She didn’t care if her dress was stained or that sand
covered her bare legs. All that mattered was this moment…and Max.
“You’re so cute,” he murmured, cupping her cheek.
Emma wrinkled her nose. “Puppies are cute. I’m not a puppy.”
“When you do that little thing with your eyes…”
“You mean when I roll them because you’re comparing me to a
pet?”
“Hush,” he said softly. “You mean a lot to me, Em. I haven’t
felt this way about a woman in a very long time. You’re sweet and generous and
beautiful, inside and out.”
Emma gazed up at him as the waves lapped at their feet.
“Em, I’m going to kiss you now.”

BOOK BLAST ~ BLAME IT ON THE BET ~ BY L. E. RICO
Blame it on the Bet
by L.E. Rico
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Welcome to Mayhem,
Minnesota, where the cats wear sweaters, the local priest dispenses dating
advice, and you can find your fortune in the bottom of a pie pan.
When her family’s pub
is threatened with foreclosure, Hennessy O’Halloran, along with her three
sisters, is determined to raise enough money to keep it out of the hands of the
L.A. real-estate developer trying to raze it and replace it with a—god
forbid!—multiplex theater.
Bryan Truitt always
gets what he wants. And what he wants is the sweet corner property on Mayhem’s
Main Street where O’Halloran’s Pub sits. But his “quick business” turns into
more than he bargains for when he meets the feisty Hennessy. Next thing he
knows, he’s betting her he can outlast Mayhem’s punishing winter in time to
make the pub his—or he’ll gift it to her for free.
Hennessy knows better
than to flirt with the enemy. But suddenly Bryan’s not sure which he wants
more…the property or the woman who owns it.
Excerpt:
Hennessy O’Halloran is looking progressively more fidgety as
I close the distance between us.
“I–I…I mean, considering our…you know…our arrangement…” she
stammers.
“Which arrangement?” I ask innocently.
“You know…our wager…”
“Oh, that arrangement. Yes, you’d think things might be
awkward between us. But they’re really not, are they?” I muse. She doesn’t
reply—nor does she make a move to thwart my approach. “Quite the opposite,
actually. It’s the damnedest thing, Hennessy. I just can’t seem to stop
thinking about…” I let the sentence hang between us until, finally, she clearly
can’t take it anymore.
“About what? What can’t you stop thinking about?” she asks
quietly.
We’re only a foot apart now, and she has to look up to see
my face. That means I get to look down into her perfect, milky complexion. I’m
so close that I could actually count the freckles dotting the bridge of her
nose. I wonder if she has them anywhere else…
Before I can stop myself, I lower my head close to hers, and
for a split second, I know we both think I’m going to kiss her. But at the
final moment, my mouth veers to her left ear. I’m sure she can feel the warmth
of my breath as I whisper the single word.
“You.”
Except it doesn’t sound like a word. It’s an exhalation—a
sigh—and it floats from my mouth to her ear and heats the space between us for
the brief moment before I turn and leave her looking after me as I walk back
down the hall, self-satisfied smile on my face.
Oh, God.
I am in so much trouble here.

BOOK BLAST & GIVEAWAY ~ BILLIONAIRE IN HER BED ~ BY REGINA kYLE
The Billionaire in Her Bed
by Regina Kyle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Real estate mogul Eli
Ward needs to keep a low profile on his new project. He’s expecting a fight
from the somewhat eclectic folks currently living there. What he doesn’t expect
is for that fight to be led by Brooke Worthington, the woman who rocked his
world one unforgettable night. The one woman who doesn’t know who he is, which
is a good thing. She just sees him as a regular guy. It’s refreshing.
Graphic designer and
part-time bartender Brooke Worthington refuses to follow her family’s plan for
her. She’s too busy building her artistic career. She doesn’t have time for
relationships, either, especially with the super hot Eli, because she has to
save the building she lives in with people she thinks of as her real family
from some greedy real estate billionaire.
These two have secrets
and chemistry that is nothing short of explosive.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt:
“One night.” She stared at a spot over his shoulder, desperate
for something to distract her from the overwhelming scent of him, soap and
sandalwood and sweat. No dice.
“It was supposed to be one night.”
“Do you believe in fate?”
His warm breath danced across her cheek and tickled her ear.
“Because it seems to be telling us otherwise.”
No, she didn’t. She believed in hard work and perseverance.
Why else would she still be banging her head against the wall trying to get a
top-drawer publisher interested in her novel?
She went for sarcastic, hoping it would scare him off.
“Maybe it’s telling me you’re a stalker.”
“Who doesn’t know your last name yet somehow found out where
you live and rented an apartment in your building?”
She gave a half-hearted shrug. “Could happen.”
“Or it could be when I met you that night at Flotsam and
Jetsam I was apartment hunting, and I was as surprised to see you at the
tenants’ meeting as you were to see me. Call it a happy coincidence.”
“I don’t believe in coincidence, either.”
“What do you believe in?” His baby blues, mysterious and
mesmerizing, bored into hers.
“Luck?”
She broke free from his spellbinding gaze, dragging her eyes
down to his awe-inspiring chest and focusing on the fire-engine red “ALL” in
the center of his Metallica T-shirt.
“Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.”
“Then it looks like this is my lucky day.”
“Why is that?”
“Because this is my opportunity to convince you the universe
wants us to spend some time together.” He slid a finger under her chin and
lifted her face to his. “And I’m prepared to stay right here until you agree.”

BLURB BLITZ & GIVEAWAY ~ SHEIK DEFENSE ~ BY RYSHIA KENNIE
Sheik Defense
by Ryshia Kennie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Romantic Suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Tossed overboard, Ava Adams had been left for dead, drifting at sea. But security specialist Faisal Al-Nassar was determined to find her. He owed her father a great debt and had never forgotten the connection he and Ava had once shared. Yet after rescuing Ava he discovered she barely remembered him.
Amnesia had left Ava uncertain of who had tried to kill her. She did know, however, that Faisal was a man she could trust. The sheik's embrace was familiar and enticing…and possibly even more dangerous. How could she succumb to feelings for her protector when what she didn't know could get them both killed?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt One:
Ava Adams opened her eyes. Her head ached and something deep
inside her hurt. That hurt was overshadowing the thumping that seemed to want
to break her skull. Yet it wasn’t pain. Not a physical pain but something more
emotional. Fear. Anger. She didn’t know what. Instead, she shivered. She was
alone and she wasn’t on the yacht. Where was she?
The yacht was gone. She had no idea what had happened to
either it or her father. It had disappeared while she’d slipped out of
consciousness. She had no idea how long she’d been unconscious. Nothing held
any relevance, not time nor space—nor anything that had happened. All of it was
a frightening blur.
The breeze ran light, cool fingers across her damp skin and
she shivered. She didn’t know how long she’d been unconscious, all she knew was
that she was alone and there was no land in sight. Her head pounded and her
vision was blurred. She couldn’t see clearly no matter how hard she tried. She
was fighting to remain conscious so that she could make that promised call to
get help. Her father was counting on her.
The thought made her prop herself up despite her shaking
limbs. She tried not to look at the dark water. There was only a thin layer of
rubber and canvas between her and it. She couldn’t think of it any more than
she could contemplate the fate of her father. All she knew was that the yacht
was gone and with it her father. She didn’t know when it had disappeared or if
her father was on board or if he was even alive. She struggled to sit up and
the world spun. She took a deep breath and passed out.
The next time she came to, she could see that the sun was
higher in the sky. It was behind her and she guessed that she might be heading
west. She had no idea what that might mean about where she would end up. Or if
she would end up anywhere except maybe at the bottom of the ocean.
Fear threatened to overwhelm her even as her gut knotted
along with her fists. Her head spun and she had to fight not to black out
again. She needed to think and yet she was fighting not to lose consciousness
again. She needed to get help not just for her but for her father. He needed
her. He was alone.
That thought collided with another. Was her father alive?
She’d heard the gunshot as the life raft had slipped away from the yacht,
carried by the ocean current. There had been silence after that as she’d
drifted farther away.
The gunshot had echoed long after the actual event. The
haunting reminder was like an omen. She could die out here and her father could
already be dead. Those scenarios were ones she couldn’t, wouldn’t consider. Not
anymore. She refused to think of him as anything but alive—just as she was
determined to reach land, one way or another.
She took a deep breath and again she fought to sit up. The
life raft rocked, threatening what stability it had as water sloshed in the
bottom. She wasn’t sure how it had taken on water unless it had been in those
first moments as it had gone from the yacht to sea. The sea had been rough. It
hadn’t calmed much since then. It was cloudy and the breeze was picking up,
only a bit of sun peeked through the otherwise dreary sky.
She had nothing. She looked down. She was virtually naked.
The skimpy sleeping outfit had been a bad choice. Fortunately, her father had
thrown his jacket over her. Who would have known that a trip that had begun as
a lark would end like this?
It wouldn’t end.
Determination shot through her chilled body. She had too
much to do with her life. She had a new career that had yet to begin. Again she
repeated that promise to herself and to her father. They would live. He would
live. They had to.
Something cold pressed against her hip. She slipped her hand
under the waistband of her panties and pulled out her father’s phone. She’d
forgotten it was there.
Her heart stopped. She remembered that he’d handed it to
her. It was a miracle that it had not dropped to the bottom of the dinghy,
into the water that was gathering there.
She held it, the memory of her father handing it to her
clear in her mind.
“Call Faisal.”
She knew, as did her father, that if anyone could help them,
it was Faisal. He headed the powerhouse investigative company run by his
family, Nassar Security. At least he was in charge of their Wyoming branch.
The phone slipped in her damp hands.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
The
Canadian prairies are my home and while the prairie landscape is blessed with
beautiful blue skies, it also has four seasons that come on full throttle –
especially winter and because of that I like to travel. Often on those trips, stories are born.
In 2011
I won my city's writing award, and was the first romance writer to do so since
its inception. In 2013 my romantic
suspense was a semi-finalist in the Kindle Book Awards. Published in historic romance and paranormal
romance as well as romantic suspense, in February 2016, my first novel was
published by Harlequin Intrigue.
There’s
no lack of places to set a story as my imagination and the too long prairie
winters may find me seeking adventure. The memories of those worlds
both near and far, the words of a stranger, the furtive look one man gives
another, often become the catalyst for a suspenseful story with a deadly
villain and an intrepid hero and heroine who must battle for their right to
love or even their right to live.
When
not dreaming of other stories, I can be found scouting out a garage sale
or two, dusting off my roller blades or just thinking about the next adventure
that may be miles away or in my own backyard.

Jack is intrigued by the beautiful young woman who fights so hard to keep him at a distance. As he discovers the secrets she's trying so desperately to hide, it becomes clear that her life is in danger.

Excerpt:
Undone By His Desire
Micah watched the emotions cross Daisy's gentle features.
The shock was evident, the pain recognizable, and the realization she had
family was priceless. She folded the piece of paper and put it back in the
envelope. She looked up at him, the tears in her eyes tugging at his
heartstrings.
"I have sisters," she whispered.
"Yes, two. You are part of triplets."
"I always wanted a sister, and now…now I have two. How
insane is that?" She shook her head. "What is Poppy to you?"
"A friend. I've known her for a few years. She's such a
sweet lady, and she wants to make things right, she wants to try and bring you
all together."
"Have you found them?" Daisy asked.
He nodded. "Rose lives in Wilmington, and Jack has
already made contact with her. Jasmine lives in Chester, UK. Kent landed in
Manchester a few hours ago. I'm not sure yet if he's made contact yet."
"Jack and Kent are your business partners?"
"Yes, we were all in the Navy SEALS together."
"I need a little bit of time on my own, Micah…I need to
think."
His gut clenched. "Do you want me to leave?"
"No, but I'm going to go walking for a little
while."
She turned and put her hand against his unshaven jaw, the
heat of her skin making him turn his face into the warmth and close his eyes
for a second.
"I don't blame you, Micah."
His eyes flashed open.
"You're only trying to help a friend out, but this is so
big. Can you understand how hard this is for me? I always knew I was adopted,
but sisters…" She shook her head. "I'm thirty years old, all that
time has passed and I never knew and that's what I don't know if I can forgive
Poppy for."
He covered her hand with his own and turned it over, kissing
the palm. "Think about it, Daisy. I'm not going to push you into anything.
It's entirely your decision whether you want to meet Poppy and your
sisters."
She smiled at him, such a warm, caring smile. "You
misunderstand me. I will definitely meet with my sisters, that's
unconditional." She pulled her hand away. "It's Poppy I'm not sure
about."
He turned as she made her way out of her sitting room.
"Daisy?"
She stopped in the doorway, her hands shoved into the pockets
of her sweats, her head slightly leaning to one side.
"Promise me one thing."
"What?"
"You'll think about the circumstances surrounding why
you were given up for adoption."
She nodded.
"And…"
She raised her eyebrows.
"Last night."
She blushed furiously, a lovely pink shade.
"Last night was beautiful and had nothing to do with
why I'm here. I really do like you and would like for us to see where whatever
we feel takes us."
She shrugged. "There is no us."
"Yes, there is. You just don't want to admit it."
She walked out the door without replying.
Damn it all to hell and back, he hoped he hadn't blown it,
not just for Poppy but for himself as well.
