RELEASE BLITZ - CONTEMPORARY LGBTQ+ - EASTON (The Swift Brothers, #2) by Riley Hart

He makes me want more.

Easton, an all-new opposites attract, small town, M/M romance and the second book in The Swift Brothers Series from bestselling author Riley Hart is now available!

 

Keep Reading for a look inside Easton!

I hate having to call Morgan and tell him I’ve been arrested. He just came back to Birchbark this summer because our dad had a stroke. He has enough on his plate dealing with a father who wants to control him and Rhett, but who wants nothing to do with me. And Morgan’s complicated relationship with Rhett isn’t much easier. Morgan’s finally starting to be happy—has admitted his feelings for his best friend, Dusty, whom he’s probably been in love with since before I was born, and they’re together.

The last thing he needs to deal with is me.

I’m the last thing anyone should have to deal with.

Still, I call because it’s not me I need him to take care of. It’s my dog, Pretty Girl.

“Hello?” Morgan answers, voice rough with sleep.

“I got arrested. I’m fine. I just need you to go take care of Pretty Girl in the morning. She’s gonna need out, and I don’t want her to be alone.”

“What about you?” Morgan asks. Since he’s been gone for ten years, he’s not tired of me yet. There’s no doubt in my mind that he will be at some point.

“Who cares? Take care of my dog, Morgan. I’m counting on you. I…” Don’t ask for things often…need to make sure she’s okay…don’t know how to reach out. I’m doing my best here.

Fortunately, Morgan doesn’t make me find words—something that’s not always easy for me to do. “We’ll make sure she’s taken care of, but I’m not just hanging you out to dry. What happened?”

Does it really matter? I’m always in the wrong, even when I’m not. But then, whose fault is it but mine? Yeah, the motherfucker I beat deserved it, but I could have found a better way to deal with it. My impulsivity is all on me. “Me.” I sigh. I happened. I always happen.

“I’ll call Archer,” I hear Dusty say in the background.

My heart rate spikes. I can’t figure out how Archer Thorn hasn’t gotten sick of me yet, why in the hell he wastes his time with me at all, other than him thinking it’s his job to fix the world. He thinks he let his cousin die when it wasn’t his fault, and now he’s trying to save me.

Why do I let him try?”

RELEASE BLITZ w/EXCERPT - CONTEMPORARY - VAUGHN (Broken Falls, #5) by Laramie Briscoe

 

Vaughn
Broken Falls, #5 
by Laramie Briscoe 
Release Date: September 28th, 2024 
Genre: Contemporary Romance 


She looks around. "I forgot where we were, I'm glad you at least kept your head about you."

If she only knew, I'm ready to get her behind closed doors so that we can get to know one another in the carnal way I'd like. "I wouldn't say I kept my head about me, I'm just very motivated to get you alone, Val. Let's go."

Her lips part on a gasp when I reach down and put my hands at her hips, lifting her up and encouraging her to wrap her legs around my waist. My hands travel down to her ass, holding on tight as I walk us back to the stairs and then take them two at a time. Once we're back in the apartment, her gaze travels over to the stove.

"I was going to make us dinner..."

"Don't worry babe, I got everything I wanna eat right here."

Keep Reading for a look inside Big Bad Boss: Mated!

I love how feral Brick gets, how desperate and dommy he becomes by the end of every day. I love knowing he needs to be inside me so badly he can’t wait until we get home. That he has to lock my office door, shove everything off my desk, and put his mouth between my legs before he can even think about driving me back to our penthouse.

Tonight is no exception. I had to stay late to prepare for a meeting with our French subsidiary tomorrow, so it’s 7:30 now. No one is left on the top floor where Eleanor and I run things.

Which is a good thing because if anyone were around, they would hear just how loudly Brick makes me scream when he’s this wound up.

He braces one hand against the windowpane beside my face and uses the other to hold my hips in place as he pounds into me. “I said, spread those legs, Ms. Evans.”

RELEASE BLITZ - CONTEMPORARY SUSPENSE - A DANGEROUS MAN (Appalachian STAR, #8) by Deanndra Hall

 

A Dangerous Man
Appalachian Star, #8 
(Special Forces Operation Alpha)
by Deanndra Hall 
Release Date: September 10th 2024 
Genre: Romantic Suspense 

She’s headstrong and independent. He’s determined and dangerous. Is their love a disaster … or their salvation?

Bear

Relentless.

I’m a murderer, and I own that. I’ve paid my debt to society, but what I did is a stain on my soul that will leave me forever unworthy of anything good. So I’m surprised when a couple of nights with FBI Agent Sela Baldwin when she’s here at the farm guarding Natalie leaves me longing for more time with her. She’s stuck in rehab from her injuries and mad as a hornet, but my offer for her to live with me and explore our relationship is surprisingly well-received. We settle in, only to find that the cartel still has a mark on Sela and Natalie, and it’ll take all of my friends from App STAR, Citadel Security, and the Eagle Point Search and Rescue teams to keep them safe—if Sela will just cooperate. I swear, that woman is her own worst enemy!

SELA

Relentless.

They might call him Bear, but he’s a wildcat in the sack. I think about those hands and that body constantly while I’m trapped in the rehab facility, planning my escape and furious that the bureau doesn’t think I can do my job. I don’t connect with people emotionally, but when I discover he’s been in an accident, I’m terrified. As soon as he asks me to move out to the farm with him, I realize being on the disabled list will give us time to maybe have an actual relationship. His openness and honesty give me hope, and I’m surprised at myself and how fast I start to trust him and care for him. There’s just one problem. The cartel is still after Natalie and me, and no matter what Bear says, I’ve never trusted a man to take care of me. Is my Dangerous Man dangerous enough to get the job done, or will I have to do it myself?

Come to the hills and hollers of eastern Kentucky and get acquainted with eight of the most determined men you’ll ever meet in the Appalachian STAR series.

Reaching the restaurant finally, Dane pulled into the dirt lot next to it. He had to agree with Arne, none of them smelled too fresh. He walked into the small diner.

  “I need to wash up. Order me a—” Dane found that all of his capacity to form logical thoughts had fled his brain. He stood numbly in the middle of the door, staring at her, his first childhood crush.

Tani Johnston stood at one of the tables laughing with the customers while she took their order. She was just as stunning as he remembered her with her long black hair and caramel-colored eyes. As if in slow motion, she looked up at him, her smile lighting up her whole face.

“Dane Ulvmand? That can’t be you, you’re all grown up. Hey, Arne. Is this giant Erik?” she walked over to them as Dane stood frozen in place.

      “Hey, Tani,” Arne answered, jabbing an elbow in Dane’s ribs. “I heard you had moved back to town. Didn’t I mention it?” he said with a smirk at Dane.

“No, Arne. You didn’t.” Dane shook his head, clearing his brain so he could speak. It was probably more of a grunt, but whatever.

“You still drink Coke, Dane?” she asked.

“Hmm,” he answered, nodding his head. Okay, that was also a grunt. He would have to do something to gain control of his vocabulary so he didn’t continue to sound like an idiot around her. “Yes. Grab a table,” he said to Arne before turning toward the restroom.

Once he was locked inside, he wanted to bang his head against the mirror until it broke. This was Arne’s fault. He should bang his brother’s head against the mirror. How could he not warn him that Tani was back in town? Jackass.

Tani had been that perfect girl when Dane was growing up. She was in Roar’s class in school, but Dane had a crush on her his entire junior high school career.”

Tani was one of those girls who was not only beautiful, but kind. She was a cheerleader, homecoming queen, basketball player, prom queen, academic decathlete, FFA queen, top of her class, and even more queen titles. But she was never the typical stuck-up that came with it. Tani was nice to everyone, including a freakishly large junior high kid.

Dane couldn’t even count the number of times he had raced from the junior high to the diner just so Tani would bring him a Coke. He would grin stupidly at her until Roar finally tracked him down, ripping him out of the diner to go home.

Twelve years later, he shouldn’t still be struck dumb seeing her, yet here he was.

He stood shirtless in front of her in all his perfection.

Her hands longed to run down his chest and rest on his sides as she caressed the muscles bulging from his abs. She stepped back, apologizing, “Sorry, I didn’t hear you get out of the shower.”

Saint stepped toward her, causing her pulse to race as his hand came out and his fingers pulled at the opening of her wrap. His thumb ran down her satin nightie as he stared at the stain.

“You’re wet,” he said quietly.

Bryanna swallowed as her gaze roamed from his thick chest to his face. She licked her lips and couldn’t help but wonder how he tasted if she ran her tongue along his shoulder and up his neck.

“I spilled my drink when you knocked. I typically don’t get visitors this late at night,” she whispered as she glanced in Miya’s direction.

Saint fingered the delicate lace along her wrap while holding her gaze, making her tremble. “I ruined your nightgown. You need to take it off.”

“Ugh…” Bryanna shook her head. Men like Saint knew how to seduce a woman out of her panties in a flash. She refused to become yet another notch on his hypothetical bedpost. Thinking he probably used Miya to soften her up, she stepped away.

“I’ll change and come back down. There’re blankets in the basket over there if you’re cold.” She nodded to the foot of the loveseat and kept her gaze from his shirtless form.

“I’m not cold. In fact, I run hot.” Saint sat on the couch and placed an arm over the back as he settled in to wait for her.

I bet you do. Turning, she gulped and climbed the stairs. Like Miya, her tummy ached, but for an entirely different reason.

RELEASE BLITZ - CONTEMPORARY - HIGH FREQUENCY (HMT 2G, #1) by Freya Barker

High Frequency
HMT 2G, #1
by Freya Barker 
Release Date: August 5th 2024 
Genre: Romantic Suspense 


 

“What do you need me to do?” I offer. Next thing I know, my arms open automatically when she shoves the baby at me. “Take her.” Ama disappears inside before my brain can come up with an objection. Any baby experience I have began and ended with Carmi, Sully’s daughter, and Fletch’s son, Hunter, and that was twelve or thirteen years ago. It’s not that I don’t like babies, because I do, but the fact this is Sloane’s baby is making it a little awkward. Still, I settle her a little better in the crook of my arm.

Then I hear the creak of the rocking chair and Thomas’s raspy chuckle and look up. The old fart clearly thinks this is funny. “You should see the look on your face,” he points out as he continues to rock his chair. “I’m guessing young Sloane becoming a parent was a surprise to you as well?”  “Yes,” I grumble, just as a little hand slaps against my chin and catches on the short hairs of my beard. I drop my eyes to Sloane’s baby, who has her little face turned toward me. I don’t know who the dark hair belongs to, but those blue eyes are unmistakably her mother’s. “Aspen. That’s her name,” Thomas shares. “Pretty little thing, ain’t she?” She is, especially when her little mouth spreads in a wide, toothless smile. “You look good holdin’ that baby,” he continues. “Too bad you let her momma slip away, or that wee one could’a been yours.” Fuck. That stings. Should’ve known the old man wouldn’t hesitate to poke his finger in the sore spot. “I’m not the one who left.” The bitter comment slips out before I can check it. “No, you weren’t. You’re just the one who let her walk.” Agitated, I get to my feet, shifting the baby to my shoulder as I start to pace the porch. “It wasn’t that simple.” “It never is, son. It never is.”
