Once upon a time there was an innocent girl…and a ruthless crime lord sworn to protect her.

A man who consumes her every thought, filling her with dark, forbidden desires. When he comes to her with promises of forever, she’s ready to give herself to him and his darkness.

Gregori knew the moment Helina turned eighteen, she’d be his ruin. The protection he once offered her from his father is now his obsession. Gregori wants to own every part of her, leaving no chance for any other man to claim her heart.

Even with monsters lurking in the shadows, nothing will keep him from claiming Helina as his.

His to protect.
His to control.
His to own.

EXCERPT

“I’ve seen the way you look at her. The way your eyes stare at her body as if it belongs to you.”
“I may have looked, but I never touched her.” He lifts his chin in defiance as I come to a stop in front of him and laugh.
“I considered letting you off easy, ending the pain and suffering you’ve been enduring the last few hours, if you confessed…” My voice trails off as I grab his hand tightly in mine, sliding the cigar cutter up his finger, stopping just above the knuckle. Closing it just enough for him to feel the bite of the blade against his skin. “But you continue to lie,” I say with a smile as I close the blade, his screams of pain echoing throughout the room.
I want to rip him apart piece by piece, making him pay for even thinking that he could touch her. That he was worthy of her attention, let alone affection. Helina is mine to protect in any way I see fit, and his mistake is going to cost him his life.
“Helina is not to be touched. If anyone so much as looks at her, you’ll pay with your life.” I slide the cutter up the next finger, this time going all the way to the base. “As well as the lives of every person you’ve ever known.”
“Please…” he stammers, his gaze flicking between the cutter and mine. “I never touched her. I’ve looked—she’s beautiful—but I never would have imagined crossing that line.”
“I understand now,” I say with a forced smile, pulling the cutter off his finger completely and standing to my full height. “You didn’t plan on it, but you’re only human. Eventually, your baser needs would have overtaken your reason.”
Reminders of my fight to stay away from her, protecting her innocence from the darkness lurking inside my heart. I’ve gone through every step of self-hatred as my need to own her has slowly taken over.
With each passing day, jealousy beyond anything I’d ever imagined courses through my body each time she mentions anyone but me. I want to own every part of her. To be the center of her universe, as she is mine.
But she’s my sister, not biologically but in name, and she will be for her entire life. These feelings are forbidden, and I’m a stronger man than this. I’ll continue to struggle to keep my growing feelings for her locked in the depths of my heart, never allowing them to taint her innocence with my darkness. She is the light in the world, the one thing I promised to protect from monsters like my father, not become one myself.
“Thank you for understanding,” he says, and his entire body sags in relief as I motion for Dimitri to come closer.
No one touches what’s mine and gets away with it, whether I’m ready to admit it or not. I may not have Helina the way my heart desires, but no one else will have her.
“I understand more than you know, and that is why you have to die.”

Cover Reveal for Filthy Professor by Niquel




Title: Filthy Professor
Author: Niquel
Genre: New Adult Romance Romance
Cover Design: niquelDesigns

Model: Andrew Biernat
Release Date: February 28, 2022


BLURB

I had two rules in life:

Never fall in love.
Never have sex with a student.

As a college preceptor, you’re not supposed to fraternize with your pupils, but what happens when you get a taste of the forbidden before you know it isn’t supposed to be yours?

That night at Brian’s bachelor party was epic. We danced, I dominated, and she left. One night, no further contact, no regrets, just how I liked it—until she walked into my algebra class the next week, and I knew the two rules I had in place had to change.

Never fall in love.
Never get caught having sex with a student.

EXCERPT

There were times when Raphael and I danced together, our bodies twisting and turning as more songs continued to play. I could feel Cas watching us, but I didn’t care. I was having a good time with him. At least he wasn’t an asshole. The DJ announced she was taking a few-minute break, so I walked back over to Anna.
“Anna, where’s the bathroom?”
“It’s back there,” she said, pointing toward the back of the room.
“Thanks. I’ll be right back, Raph.”
As I went inside the room and closed the door behind me, locking it, so no one else barged in, someone pounded on the door as soon as I finished.
“Sorry, occupied.”
“Taylin, open the door right now.” The familiar voice stopped me in my tracks.
“Go away, Cas,” I said, washing my hands and looking at myself in the mirror to buy me some time.
“Open the door before I break it down!” he yelled. Is this guy for real?
I unlocked the door, not wanting him to cause a huge scene.
“What do you want?” I huffed, shocked by the audacity he had.
He pushed his way in, locking the door behind us. He cornered me and placed his hands on the walls beside me. “What are you doing here?” His eyes narrowed at me.
Having him this close did something to my body. I wasn’t afraid, but slightly turned on.
“I don’t have to tell you shit.”
“Answer me!” he demanded.
I held my ground with him, looking him in his eyes. I wanted to give him such a hard time, and make him pay for everything he had done, but something inside of me obliged. “Your boy, Jay, is dating my best friend, Anna. He invited her, and she brought me. Not that it even matters.”
He went quiet and looked me up and down. “It fucking matters. I’ve missed you,” he admitted. His head hung low.
“I don’t care. Get out!” I said, tears blurring my vision.
“No.” He tilted my chin up, staring intensely into my eyes. “I won’t. You shouldn’t be here with him.”
“Then who should I be here with, Cas?” I pushed him back, trying to create some space between us.
“Me.” What a joke.
“Well, you’ve ignored me for how many months now?”
“I had to.”
“Who told you that you had to?”
“It’s complicated, Taylin. Fuck! I just—”
I cut him off, I didn’t even want to hear whatever excuse he was getting ready to say to me. “A simple text would have sufficed, but no, you couldn’t even do that!” I yelled, tears sliding down my cheek.
“I’m sorry, but I’m gonna take back what’s mine. Tell me to stop if you don’t want it.” His eyes darkened with desire.
I couldn’t tell if it was the alcohol or me craving his touch, but I choked out, “I want it.”
Our lips crashed together as his hands roamed freely all over my body. He clasped my hands together behind my back and propped my ass up on the sink, moving my dress out of the way for easy access.
“You will never dance with another man ever again. You got it?”
“Then don’t piss me off,” I sassed with a raised brow.
He tightened his grip on my wrists behind me. “Do you understand what I said, Ms. Bradford?”
“Yes.” I nodded, completely breathless.
“Good, girl.”

Hailey
The warm evening sun beats down on my shoulders as I chat with Ashley and her group of girlfriends. My brain is on overdrive as I take in their varying sizes of baby bumps. Do not drink the water. I set down the plastic bottle and grab a glass of champagne instead. Much safer.
Ashley frowns. “That’s rude.”
“Please.” I smirk. “You wouldn’t know rude if it smacked you in the face. You realize you’ve been talking non-stop about sex for twenty minutes, and I haven’t gotten any in over nine months.”
“Oh, honey.” Veronica pats my arm. “That sucks. I should know. Before Devin and I got together, I was celibate for almost three years and pregnant for nine of those months.”
“Three years,” I choke and raise the glass to my lips. There’s no way in hell I can last three years. My spiel to Austin was total bullshit. I miss sex. I miss rough, calloused hands sliding along my skin. Firm thighs slamming against the backs of my legs. And a mouth and tongue devouring my sex. I convulse. I miss it more since I met Austin.
I’m about to come unglued between his endless string of memes and movie quotes and my vibrator going on the fritz. Two days shipping has always been my friend. Until the light stopped glowing on my rabbit, and now two days seems like a never-ending chemistry class. I’m about to drive up to the warehouse myself and collect my order.
Buzz. Buzz. My cellphone vibrates in my hand. And just like a crack addict that can’t be away from my fix for ten seconds, I swipe the screen.
Austin: Just how I pictured you.
Heat floods my body. Is he here? Why didn’t he tell me he was coming?
Coming. I convulse as my clit throbs with desire. It’s stupid, but I can’t stop thinking about him.
Me: Standing with a bunch of pregnant women praying I don’t get water instead of champagne?
I study the girls out of the corner of my eye as they talk about the upcoming football training camp.
Buzz. I couldn’t stop the adrenaline racing through me if I wanted to. And I don’t want to. He might be a bad decision, but I’ve made worse. Hell, I met him when I was on a date with a drug dealer at a sex party. You can’t get much worse than that.
Austin: Absolutely. Except, I was talking about the bikini, and those fuck-me shoes.
Fuck me. He said fuck me. Oh, my God. I feel like a fourteen-year-old girl being teased by the hottest jock in school.
Me: Just how did you imagine the fuck-me shoes?
Austin: Digging into my back.

Release Blitz for Trainwreck by Andi Rhodes




Title: Trainwreck
Series: Soulless Kings MC #6
Author: Andi Rhodes
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: January 25, 2022


BLURB

Trainwreck…

I don’t like to talk about my past or my family’s history. It’s depressing and an unwelcome reminder of the monsters who walk among us, but the people responsible for my family’s destruction keep popping back up.

I’m now in a position to do something about it. I have the Soulless Kings MC at my side and, like me, they won’t simply roll over and ignore what’s happening. When my sister returned, I vowed to take down anyone connected to her disappearance, and I’m making progress. But, like a cockroach, more keep crawling out of the woodwork and forcing me to remain entrenched in their filth. That’s why, when the sister of one of our own comes up missing, I take it upon myself to save her or die trying.

Sylvia…

I grew up in the Black Savages MC, but it was my sister who was treated like their princess. I wish I could say I wasn’t jealous, but the fact of the matter is, I was. And then all hell broke loose. Right was left and left was right… nothing made sense. My sister married into another MC and I was left alone to pick up the pieces.

I tried like hell to do just that and while I found some sense of normalcy, the pieces never quite fit. One tragedy after another follows me, knocks me on my ass until I simply can’t stand back up without help. And when he shows up to play savior, I have no choice but to trust he can get the job done. I also don’t seem to have a choice when my heart decides to jump into the mix and confuse everything.

I stop pacing in front of the couch and lock eyes with him. “Can I ask you something?”
“You can ask me anything.”
Crossing my arms over my chest, I begin to tap my foot, needing to expel energy somehow.
“Why did you offer to let me ride with you to Arkansas?”
Trainwreck shoots up from the couch and closes the distance between us, his own anger flaring.
“Seriously?” he asks incredulously. “That is what this is about?”
I nod sharply and he narrows his eyes.
“Because it’s the right thing to do,” he says with conviction. “Because it’s a long fucking ride, even split over three days, and that’s hard on anyone. Because we’re going to take out one of the evilest cults there is, and who knows what will happen on our way. Because…” He pauses and takes a deep breath before expelling it. “Just because.”
What he says makes sense, and they’re all good reasons, yet…
“But I’m not your ol’ lady, or even your girlfriend.” I shake my head in disbelief. “I’m just some chick you rescued from a psycho.”
“Why does this bother you so much?” he counters. “Can’t I just be a guy who’s trying to do something nice for you?”
“No!” I shout. “Nice guys don’t exist. Horny guys do, stupid guys, assholes, pricks, only-want-one-thing guys.” I shake my head. “But nice guys? I have yet to meet one.”
“Jesus, you have a warped view of the world.”
“And how do you not with everything you’ve seen or with what happened to Trinity?”
Oh trust me, I do,” Trainwreck tells me. “But I don’t let it stop me from living.” He takes a step closer to me. “If my offer pisses you off this much, I rescind it.”
My stomach bottoms out. Huh. I thought that’s what I wanted, but now that he’s said the words, I realize it isn’t even remotely close.
“Sylvia, I told you before, I’m always going to do what I think is right. And again, I’m sorry if I upset you, but I can’t help who I am.”
My face falls, and heat creeps into my cheeks. I rub my temples, trying to rid myself of a forming migraine.
“Shit,” I mumble and stare at the floor. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to go off on you. Bad habit I guess.”
“Sylvia, look at me.”
I try to look at him but can’t bring myself to do it. Trainwreck lifts my chin with two fingers. My eyes dart away, trying to focus on anything other than him.
“Sylvia.” His tone holds a hint of warning, or maybe it’s promise. “Please look at me.”
Finally, my eyes land on his face and he smiles.
“Is it so hard to believe I’m nice?” he asks as he shifts his hand from my chin to cup my cheek.
I nod, my mouth suddenly filled with cotton.
“I suppose you’re right, to a degree,” Trainwreck admits. “I’m not your typical nice guy. I do bad things and enjoy every second of it. I have a dark side.” He nods toward his bedroom. “An obsessive side. I can’t rest until my target is taken down.” He rubs his thumb over my cheek, and I lean into his touch. “But I would never treat you like anything but the amazing woman you are. I am nothing but a nice guy where you’re concerned.”
I pull away from him to avoid leaning closer. “You don’t even know me.”
Trainwreck drops his arm and shoves his hands in his pockets. “I know you’re sexy as hell regardless of if you’re in sweats, a fancy dress, or jeans and a hoodie. I know you’re smart and strong and more than capable of taking care of yourself. I know you don’t let much get you down. You’ve got this quality that some might call bitchy, but not me. It reminds me that you have a backbone and don’t need me. Which is good because if I’m ever going to take a chance on a chick, she’s gotta be able to stand on her own two feet. I don’t want someone who is only with me because she needs me. I want her to be with me because she wants me.”

Release Blitz for Ruthless Rookie by Rachel Leigh




Title: Ruthless Rookie
A Cocky Hero Club Novel
Author: Rachel Leigh
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 23, 2022


Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward are excited to bring you the Cocky Hero Club: original works from various authors inspired by Keeland and Ward's New York Times bestselling Cocky Bastard series.


BLURB

Fresh off a plane from France, I was ready for a little reprieve.
After a wild night and a few too many drinks, I ended up in a hotel room with a complete stranger.

I didn’t think I’d ever see him again—boy, was I wrong.
Two days later, he walks into my dad’s office.

He was looking for the man in charge.
Instead, he found me—the boss’s daughter.
A few sly remarks about my family had me all too skeptical about revealing my identity.

It’s a good thing I held back,
because it seems he’s got an opinion about the Big Wig’s daughter, too.

Stuck-up.
High-strung.
Demanding.

So, I let him believe I was an employee, too.
A measly assistant with the curiosity of a cat.
At least, that’s what he thought.

Now I can find out why he’s painted this dark picture of my family.
And it’s time to show him that I’m more than a name in the rumor mill.

That’s all assuming I’m not exposed first.

Ruthless Rookie is a workplace romance inspired by Mister Moneybags.
