Rough
Love – a dark, MC romance:
I’ve
always lived a sheltered life,
One
where my every move has been decided for me and no decision has ever
been my own. I thought I liked it that way. That I was content to let
it continue…
That
was until my big sister was killed in a hit and run, leaving me alone
amongst the men who have brought me up—the protectors I thought I
trusted—but without her, things are suddenly beginning to change.
The world around me is growing darker and more dangerous. The
monsters who were lurking in the shadows are slowly coming out to
play their sinister games with me and I have no idea where to turn to
for help.
I
never got to know who my sister truly was,
I
need answers to the questions I’ve left it too late to ask. But, I
have finally found a clue, and the only question is, am I ready to
hear the truth? Will I be able to handle the depravity of the story
I’ve yet to uncover?
So
now it's all about to change,
My
name is Dahlia Proctor. I’m the youngest daughter of the Black
Knights Motorbike Club President, and this is the story of how my
life has been turned upside down ever since my sister died…

Black
Rose series
1.
Embracing the Darkness:
What
would you do if you discovered you father was the Devil? Would you
run? Fight? Give up everything you once knew and join him…
Young
Cate Rose's seemingly normal life is shattered by that exact
revelation. She then leaves her old, human life on Earth behind and
goes to Hell, where the Dark Princess must then discover her own path
while embracing her darkness. With an angel on one shoulder and the
Devil on the other, she then must find the right balance for both her
humanity and her dark prowess.
Her
strange world is turned upside-down even further as she is
emotionally exploited and scarred by further events that sweep her in
different directions, and into the arms of very different lovers, all
of them powerful beings that dominate both her and the world’s
around her.
The
Dark Princess's tumultuous existence has many twists and turns in
store, culminating in a deliciously heart-wrenching tale of love,
lust, power, passion and heartache until she eventually takes control
of her own fate at last. But which path will she choose, and to whom
will it lead?
2.
A Slave to the Darkness:
A
storm has been brewing for the past fifty years since the new Devil,
Cate Rose, took her child of light and darkness back to Hell with
her. The angel Uriel, the child's father, wants Lottie for his own,
but what lengths will he go to in order to find her?
Meanwhile,
circus performer Brent and his family's travelling show are all
followers of an unholy mistress, the powerful and primeval demon,
Lilith. Brent's girlfriend Tilly is unwittingly pulled into their
dark world, where she then finds herself under the mesmerising and
dangerous gaze of the Black Prince of Hell, Blake Rose. Tilly
clumsily breaks all the rules, but rather than punishing her, Blake
is intrigued and he marks Tilly as his own. Her life as she knows it
is then gone forever, being replaced by a dark and sexy, seductive
yet terrifying existence under Blake's rule.
Can
Tilly's love ever thaw this evil, cold-hearted being? Or will Blake
forever remain the icy, distant Prince he has always been? The
beautiful, captivating woman and her warm heart are determined to
try.
Will
Blake learn to love at last? Does he even want to?
Either
way, Tilly will soon find herself becoming a slave to the darkness,
and her once so normal existence will never be the same again.
3.
Forever Darkness:
The
Black Prince of Hell, Blake Rose has finally found love. He has
broken down his protective walls and let in the mesmerising young
human woman who in her foolish ways and gentle nature has captured
not only his attention but also his heart. But now, Tilly lies dying
after having been stabbed by the white witch Beatrice and Blake is
helpless to stop it. He is stuck in Hell until the full moon begins
to rise on Earth and only then can he go to his lover's side to try
and save her life, or else let Tilly become another powerless soul in
an ocean of predatory demons and evil beings hell-bent on making the
newly deceased souls their eternal playthings.
Blake
knows that there must be another way. He will do anything it takes to
save Tilly from that terrible fate and he absolutely cannot lose his
soul mate now. Tilly belongs to him, with him. She changed his life
when all Blake wanted was to be cold and cruel for all eternity, but
now that being he was is long gone. Blake also has to accept that in
order to save her it may be time for him to make his own deal with
the Devil, his mother, Cate Rose.
What
will the omnipotent mistress decide?
Will
she save Tilly's soul from the bottom of the hellish heap, and if so
what will she expect from them both in return?
4.

from yet another near death experience, this time at her own
omnipotent hands, Cate has an important decision to make.

Invasion
Day series –
1.
Humankind:
In
spite of all foretelling and scientific proof, humans have ruined
their home, Earth. Overpopulation and the misuse of valuable fossil
fuels have resulted in the end of the world fast approaching, and
many believe it might be too late to stop it.
With
that fear very much in mind, in the year 3030, an alien race called
the Thrakorian’s stepped in to take charge of the Earth and its
inhabitants, but at a price.
Rather
than leading by fear, the Thrakorian’s have ensured the loyalty and
servitude of the human race through gratitude and a sense of purpose
they’d been lacking for generations. But can their savior’s
really be as generous as they seem?
Years
later, and rebel forces are intent on bringing down their new
governing race, and Earth’s new leader, King Kronus, atop it. Loyal
humans must fight against their own, but to what end, and for whose
agenda?
Young
Kyra Millan is a girl from the slums with a valuable mind. She’s
intent on fighting her way up the social ladders and starting a new
life based on her own merit, and will do anything it takes to reach
her peak. Kyra also harbors a strange and unusual secret though, and
it’s one she holds so precious it consumes her. Before long it
becomes clear that all is not what it seems, but when you’re in too
deep can you ever come back, and would you even want to?
Kyra
must decide, and with everything on the line she’ll have to prove
herself if she wants to survive.
2.
Autonomy:
In
the year 3030 an alien race named the Thrakorian’s invaded Earth,
and won.
Years
later, and while King Kronus sits on his throne on high for all to
adore and worship, or else refuse and perish, rebels have risen up to
challenge his reign. They need to be stopped, and yet, he doesn’t
seem to care. He isn’t interested in the planet he’s left his
underlings to command, however the entire human race continues to
serve him blindly.
And
yet, there are huge discrepancies the likes of which most humans
didn’t care to see. But she
saw them. Kyra Millan, probably the most devoted human soldier in
Kronus’ cause, but also the one with the most amount of questions.
Despite
everything she’s done and the ladders she’s climbed, or the
friends in high places she has made along the way, Kyra has begun to
see through the lies.
In
one awful meeting, Kronus made her life’s work seem like nothing
more than a waste of her time and talents, and then he’d sent her
away without another word of explanation.
But,
Kyra knew she would continue to serve him, for what else did she have
without her unwavering loyalty to Kronus and his reign?
Now,
she has to find a way to balance what she knows and how she feels,
however neither he nor any others of his kind seem willing to make it
easy on her. Kyra still yearns for her leader’s approval and to
keep her place within his regime, so much so she’s determined to
fight him on the issue—even if she has to break every rule in the
book to prove herself right.
With
the hope she can get away with defying her alien overlord one more
time, she’s determined to try and infiltrate the rebels opposing
him, whether he wants her to or not.
But
there’s something Kyra isn’t prepared for. Because when you get
in too deep, sometimes it’s hard to remember what’s real and
what’s fake anymore…
3.
Resonant:
In
the year 3030, an alien race named the Thrakorian’s invaded Earth,
and won.
Over
twenty years later, the humans have finally discovered the truth
behind their invasion, albeit too late. The Thrakorian’s weren’t
on Earth to protect or to preserve the dying planet and its
overpopulated race. They had an ulterior motive. The were there on a
research mission, looking to their distant cousins for aspects of
their DNA that might be used to help cure the Thrakorian’s of a
vicious disease plaguing their kind—Ehrad.
Having
taken what they wanted, they’ve left the Earth behind to die, along
with billions of humans refused sanctuary on their home planet of
Thrakor. And so, with their precious human cargo in tow, the
Thrakorian’s are headed home with hopes of a better life for all
those affected by the Ehrad disease once they reach it.
Aboard
their mother ship, Kyra Millan has been stowed away by her boyfriend
and Thrakorian superior, Thrayke. His plan is to keep her hidden
while onboard and then sneak her home with him so they can be
together, but all without the attentive eye of their leader, King
Kronus, watching over them. Watching her.
If
only things were that simple…
About Laura Morgan:
"I'm
a hopeless romantic with a dark side. Be warned, I may give my
characters their Happily Ever After, but I make them work hard for
it!"
Laura
is a self-confessed computer and gadget geek. She’s always had a
wild imagination and a sense of creativity that often runs away with
her, engrossing her for days in many a story that haunts her thoughts
until it eventually makes it to the page. An avid rock music fan,
Laura spends much of her free time listening to music at home or
going to concerts with friends, and this love of music often makes
its way into her creative writing. Laura loves edgy, gritty books
that strip your heart and soul bare and leave you with an epic book
hangover at the end. That’s what she aims to do with her stories
and thinks her readers agree! At times they’re dark and
controversial, but that’s also what makes them unique.
Laura
also has a YA science fiction series written under the pen name LC
Morgans. It’s a story set a thousand years in the future, in which
humans have used and abused the planet beyond repair to both the
earth itself and to society. Close to cataclysm, an alien race called
the Thrakorian's step in to save the planet, and the humans, but at a
price. The human race is then enslaved to their new masters, albeit
willingly, and this is the story of a young girl and her journey into
adulthood beneath their reign.
Laura
loves hearing from her fans and you can connect with her via the
following:
Interview With Laura Morgan:
1. Can
you tell us a little about your books?
I’m known for my dark style and
certainly for writing controversial stories with an eventual happily
ever after, but I don’t make it easy on my characters that’s for sure!
2. When
did you know you wanted to write a book?
I’ve always made up stories
but was never confident enough to actually write anything down until
around four years ago when I finally forced myself to do it. I’m so
pleased I did as the floodgates are now well and truly
open!
3. Do
you have a favorite food or drink you must have nearby when
writing?
I’m a sucker for sweets so usually have some skittles or
jellies close at hand! I like to maintain my sugar levels haha!
4. If
you ever experience a case of writer’s block, how do you cure it?
I’ve
been so lucky and (so far) haven’t had any writer’s block. I like to
think if I did, I’d go for a re-read of my old material to get back in
the zone and help me reconnect with the characters.
5. When you write do you write the first draft on a computer or paper and pen?
I’m known to make some scribbles in a note book but usually it’s all done on the computer. I hate to make mistakes so a word document is better for me than having to cross anything out or jot notes in the margin.
6. What is a usual writing day like for you?
How is it structured? I love to retreat into 'the cave' as many writers' call it, and especially need peace, quite and undisturbed writing time. Because of this, night times are usually the best time for me, and I've been known to stay up far later than I ought to when a powerful storyline is mid-flow.
7. For someone who hasn't read any of you books yet, which one would you suggest they read first?
I’d say my new story Rough Love. It’s a stand alone and while still one of my dark stories it has an intense romantic suspense element to it so I couldn’t help but fall in love with the characters while writing it.
8. If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have?
The ability to write directly from my mind to the page haha! That would make my life a hundred times easier ;-)
9. Are you attending any Author Signing Event this year?
Yes, I’ve got two more signings planned for 2017, one in Chester, UK in April and I can’t wait, and the other in Peterborough, UK in October, which is a darker themed event too should should be right up my alley.
10. What
are writing projects are you currently working on?
I’m currently
writing the fourth story in my Invasion Day series and love being back
in the futuristic world of aliens and other worlds. I can really let my
mind go crazy in the sci-fi genre.
