Title: Hidden
Series: Club Exposure #1
Author: Ivy Nelson
Genre: BDSM Romance
Release Date: January 25, 2022


BLURB
She's stubborn and reckless and determined to expose the truth.

He’s duty-bound to protect her even if he hates her.

Secret Service Agent Peter Mercer just wanted a promotion. Instead he got investigative journalist Carrie Davenport. His hatred of journalists runs deep, but she's going to get herself killed. So he'll do what he must to keep her safe and his conscience clear.

Carrie Davenport didn't look for trouble but it always found her. This time it came in the form of a human trafficking ring involving D.C.'s most powerful. And she could expose it all and turn it into the biggest story she’s ever written. Or get herself killed. And Peter Mercer seems hellbent on preventing her from doing either.

When he shows up at Club Exposure, she thinks he's following her again. Turns out they have more in common than either realizes.

EXCERPT
Peter wanted to spill all the things the woman had done to his family, but he restrained himself. Now wasn’t the time.
“I’m exhausted. Do you mind if we call it a night? I arranged to go to work a little late in the morning, but I still don’t have much time to sleep.”
Carrie nodded her agreement, but Peter could see the disappointment in her eyes. Was she hoping to pick up where they had left off? Peter felt like a bastard for not thinking of it sooner, but right now he just wanted to sleep and put all of this out of his mind. Seeing her again had stirred up some of his more bitter feelings, and he didn’t trust himself to hold them in around Carrie.
But then she stood and put her arms around him. “You seem tense. Maybe I could help you with that?” She took his hand and led him to the guest room, then backed him against the door, where she dropped to her knees and started to unzip his pants.
“Is this OK?”
How could he say no to that? But he needed to warn her of how he was feeling, or it wouldn’t be fair.
“I’m angry right now, Carrie. I don’t want to hurt you, but…”
She pulled his zipper the rest of the way down. “But you really want to ram your cock down my throat and take it out on me?” She gave a little one-shouldered shrug and jerked his slacks down. “Fine by me. I know how to get you to stop if you take it too far.”
Fuck. Could she be any more perfect?
She wanted to push him, so he was going to push right back.
“Then why isn’t my cock in your mouth yet?”

The Sassy Nanny Dilemma (Practically Perfect Nannies #2) Release Blitz +Review

Title: The Sassy Nanny Dilemma

Series: Practically Perfect Nannies

Author: Elizabeth SaFleur

Genre: Steamy romantic comedy, steamy contemporary

An opposites-attract romantic comedy

Standalone

Cover by: Brown Lady Pub


Blurb

They can resist each other. Really, they can.

The last thing Ashton Scott needs is more life complications. He has demanding celebrity clients and a six-year-old daughter he didn't even know he had until recently. His to-do list has no room for Adelaide, a hometown nanny who once had a crush on him.

But now grown up, does she have to be so damned magnetic—and infuriating? Good thing resistance to temptation is his specialty. At least it was…

For Adelaide, life was good before Ash returned to Moorsville. She’d almost forgotten her one and only run-in with the man years ago—the most humiliating experience of her life (and that is saying something).

But now he needs a nanny, and quite frankly, his little girl needs her. His ideas of parenting could fit into a thimble. Not letting the six-year-old get dirty or eat sugar? Ha!

The fact he nearly melts her panties off with his stern face isn’t going to be a problem. Really, it isn’t.

A meet cute, opposites attract, grumpy boss-Miss Sunshine, steamy romantic comedy

This is the second book in this series. It is a standalone read. I haven’t read the first and wasn’t confused at all. Adelaide is a relief nanny. Recently coming off a job in a not ideal way. Ash is back in town with his daughter, Maribelle. Who he just discovered was his daughter. His nanny up and left because its too quiet at night. Now he needs a new one and Addy isn’t going to miss out on this opportunity. Addy loves her small home town but like all small hometowns everyone knows everything. Addy has had her share of uncomfortable moments growing up and doesn’t want them to affect her current chance at this job. Addy and Ash also had a moment one he doesn’t even remember. But, it doesn’t matter she wasn’t his type then and she probably isn’t now. After all she isn’t some model or lawyer just a nanny. Ash just wants to get his daughter situated in school and get back to his job in New York. But then there is this nanny who doesn’t know how to follow rules or stop talking. She has certain ideas about what children need that are different than his. Then there is the way she makes him feel and things he notices about him. The last thing he needs are more headlines and bad press. Sparks fly between the two, no matter how much they fight it. This book was hilarious to read. Addy is a great nanny, she always knows just what to do or say. Things between her and Ash aren’t as easy. Then there is Addy’s archenemy her ex’s sister who is on the school board that Ash wants to send his daughter to. This book is a great funny, romantic read. I look forward to reading more books in this series in the future as well as book one in the series. Fantastic job Elizabeth.

From Salt to Skye (Legends and Lovers) Release Blitz


Title: From Salt to Skye
A Legends and Lovers Series Standalone
Author: Adriane Leigh
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 25, 2022


BLURB
From USA Today bestselling author Adriane Leigh comes a novel woven with madness, revenge, tragedy, and the everlasting spirit of love.

Fable Prescott believes two lies. The first, that she was chosen at random for the summer study abroad program at her university, and the second, that she came to the wind-whipped Isle of Skye to research her family's mysterious Scottish ancestry. She never expected to find herself embroiled in a cold case that has kept a tiny seaside village on edge for years.

When another woman vanishes into thin air, Fable begins to wonder if there is more to the dark legends that cling to the island like a cold ocean mist. And if her brooding, devastatingly handsome new neighbor, Alder, is the only one that holds the key to her family's tragic past.

LEGENDS AND LOVERS is a collection of dark legends and star-crossed love stories from twenty bestselling authors. Woven with mystery and magic, love and lore, romance and suspense, this multi-author collaboration promises to make your heart pound and keep you reading late into the night. Discover all the books in the series at legendsandlovers.com.

EXCERPT
I feel her before I see her.
I can’t explain this thing between us, why I keep showing up when she needs it most, but it’s real and I’m a slave to follow the instinct.
The instinct that always leads me to her.
I’ve been trying my best to keep our unusual connection low-key, but she never makes it easy. She seems to find herself in the most unlikely places at the most unfavorable times.
Like right now.
I groan as she picks her way along the edge of the seaside cliff. The mist clings to her pale nightdress; the soft fabric is almost sheer as the silver moonbeams cut across her form. My heart is so rattled by her presence, it takes everything in me to resist going to her. My instincts tell me to wrap her in my arms, lock her in the keep of Leith Hall and throw away the key if that’s what it takes to keep her safe, but I know that won’t work. Not this time. Fable is headstrong; it’s what landed her in the loch without breath in her lungs. It’s what brought me to her the first time, and it’s what brings me to her now.
She’s determined to find the truth; I’ll give her that. I imagine she’s just spent the night reading more of the books Keats recommended, the ones I insisted she start with if she has any hope of solving Skye’s oldest cold case. Fable’s great-aunt’s disappearance is famous around here, but they all are. The girls who vanish from this island are all of a type—young, naïve, headstrong, and heart-stopping in their beauty.
Fable fits the mold perfectly, and it terrifies me.
Spending time with Harris won’t end well. I can already see the epic crash and burn in my mind’s eye. She doesn’t know it, but I can sense it coming from a thousand years away. Fable, on the other hand, seems unable to sense anything. Her senses are dulled to the force this island has on people, the way the mist bends the perspective and twists the thoughts. Humans aren’t meant to be so isolated, and Fable is already suffering the effects. Leith is a rambling, imposing monster of cobbled-together ruins and dark, damp corridors. It’s no place for a woman as soft and sweet as she is, but then, there’s nothing I can say that will convince her of that.
Only that I’ll take care of her if she can’t do it herself.
She must hate me for being so abrasive, but I can’t think of another way to make her understand that she’s playing with fire when she asks for the truth.

TRAILER

EXCERPT
Brenna POV-
"Don't look now, but the guy in the dark corner wants to sample you for every meal."

I freeze. "What are you talking about? Where?"

"Don't look. At the end of the bar, toward the door."

I spin in my chair, and my heart skips several beats. Butterflies spread their wings and take off inside me, making my head spin.

"I said not to look!" Kim shrieks. I ignore her, unable to comprehend anything. Standing against the wall, intensely pinning his gaze on me, is a tall, built man. His T-shirt stretches across his chest in perfection, taunting the world with his ripped flesh. He has a chiseled face, and unlike Brad's clean-cut, country-club, frat-boy appearance, this man has a dangerous flair. Tattoos travel down his arm. One peeks out of his T-shirt, as if the artist took a brush and dragged the strokes to the middle of his neck.

Another good-looking man approaches him and hands him a drink. He takes it, keeps his eyes on mine, says nothing to his friend, and comes toward me.

Every step he takes makes it harder for me to breathe. By the time he gets to our table, I'm holding in the oxygen, and my heart races. The air around me becomes so electric, my skin buzzes. No one else seems to exist except us.

His lips slightly curl. He places his hand on the back of the chair next to me. The sexiest voice I've ever heard asks, "Lass, is this seat taken?"

Her past is coming back to haunt her. His present is haunting him.

Callie Pike always considered herself the plain sister—stuck in the middle between beautiful Rory and vivacious Maddie—so she still can’t believe gorgeous perennial bachelor Donny Steel has fallen in love with her. She should be the happiest woman on the planet, and she is…but her nemesis from ten years ago seems intent on destroying her newfound bliss.

Donny Steel will do anything to protect his family, even sacrifice his ethics and his own happiness. As much as he loves Callie, he knows he can’t be the man she deserves—not until he solves the mysteries of his family’s past and finds out who shot his father.

Though the two erupt in flames whenever they’re together, the secrets they both harbor could destroy any chance for a future together.

I've had stories in my head since I was a child.  All sorts of stories of fantasy, romance, mystery and anything else that captured my interest.  I'm a voracious reader, and have spent many hours in my life devouring books, therefore it's only fitting I should write a few myself!  

I've spent most of my life as a performing musician and band instrument repair technician, but that doesn't mean I'm pigeon-holed into one mold.  I've been a university professor, belly dancer, craftsperson, soap maker, singer, rock band artist, jewelry maker, lifeguard, swim coach, and whatever else I feel like exploring.  As one of my students said to me once, "Life's too short to ignore the opportunities."   I have no intention of ever stopping so welcome to my story world.  I hope you enjoy it!
