Genres: Dark Contemporary Romance

BLURB

One accident.
Two men.
Almost three years of despair.
Four beating hearts growing in pain.
Five lives forever changed.

Everything fell apart in the blink of an eye.

These days my own misery keeps me company.

I never thought this would be me—a twenty-four-year-old—stuck in a dead-end relationship.

Gone are the thrilling adventures with Harvey Stark.

Gone is his smile.

Gone is the sight of his dimples and the sparkle in his bright blue eyes.

He’s changed into a hollow version of himself and I’m just a shadow following him around our home.

Then I meet my new boss at a firm in Downtown Chicago. Damon Dreygon challenges me in ways I never knew existed and makes me believe in myself again. Our souls match instantly, and meeting Damon feels like a step towards peace.

Except it’s not. Because everyone grieves differently.

So while one man refuses to touch me, the other can’t love me.

And I’m crawling through the crippling chaos, barely holding on . . .

Elena Lombardi.

Cold as ice, sharp as the edge of broken glass, and more beautiful than any woman should have the right to be, she stormed my defenses and razed my life as I knew it to the ground. For her, I would once again play the hero and prove myself worthy of her unconquerable heart.

For her, I would change everything.

I could have left her to the enemies hounding me, but instead, I made the unforgivable decision to take her with me to the old country. Now, there is no other option. In order to keep both of us safe, Elena Lombardi must become my wife.

From the outside, Elora Reverie’s life is a dream. A handsome husband; a passion for writing children’s books; a beautiful home. In reality, she’s living a nightmare of abuse in a house that’s little more than a prison.

On a rare escape to a book convention, she’s shocked to win a raffle for a photoshoot with Vincent Voden, a stunning male model. Yielding to the temporary fantasy is an exercise in madness, especially with his phone number hidden in the lining of her purse. But when her husband turns violent, she’s forced to admit her marriage is truly a sham—and she dials that lifeline to Vincent’s safe, strong arms.

Vincent instantly recognized the hopeless look in Elora’s eyes. His mother wore it, too. That’s why he secretly entered Elora’s name into that contest—to shield her, however briefly, in his arms. Now he’s got a second chance to show her love doesn’t have to hurt. When a murderous crime organization re-emerges and targets abused women, Vincent will do whatever it takes to protect Elora from more than just her husband. 

No matter what favors from his violent past he needs to call in to make it happen…

TEMP/sub, #1

by Lauren E. Rico

Publication date: November 17th 2020

Genres: Adult, Dark Romance

BLURB

Alison Armitage has more responsibility than God. At least, that’s what it feels like some days as she manages her multi-billion-dollar business. She’d give just about anything to NOT be in charge. Just for a little while. Just behind the closed doors of her incredibly expensive and incredibly lonely apartment

​One night after one too many cocktails, she stumbles upon a chat room for people like her—dominant in their everyday lives, looking to be dominated. Just a little bit. Titillated, she explores further and soon finds herself with a very exclusive invitation to participate in a very unique ‘experiential’ resort. A place where people can come to live out their fantasies in an immersive environment, for a short term period. Where all guests have been carefully vetted and all “play” is consensual—and closely monitored for safety.

Too late, Alison discovers that the sexy world of her fantasies is a long way from the reality she now faces. And the only thing keeping her on the right side of safety and sanity is the dark and brooding man she’s been made to call “Master.”

The problem is, she’s not so sure which side is the “right” side anymore.

DEVILS REAPERS MC SERIES

by Ruby Carter

Genre: Dark MC Mafia Romance

Dagger

Devils Reapers MC, #5

If there’s one thing I’ve always known, it’s that I need to dominate; in my club, over our rivals, and in the bedroom. I get what I want, and I’m always in control, chasing the pain and pleasure I crave with as many women as I can get—or at least I was, until I met Kelly fuckin’ Davis. She’s strong-willed, relentless, and she pushes my buttons like no other woman I’ve ever met. She may be 15 years younger than me, but I can’t quench my thirst for her. I want—no, I need—to own her ass…

He tells me I’m too young for him and that I shouldn’t play games, but no man has ever made this ‘little girl’ feel like Dagger does. I’ve needed more of him since the first time he showed me his deepest desires, but he refuses to give into the hunger between us. Luckily, even an ultra-alpha like him is no match for this feisty Latina. I need to be dominated as much as he needs to dominate, and it’s time to show him who’s really in control…

Determined that no woman can tame him, lifetime bachelor Dagger shuns relationships for a life of casual hook-ups with any woman he wants—except one. As much as he tries to fight his forbidden desire for her at first, Kelly Davis has other ideas, and Dagger finds his possessive instincts starting to win out. However, just as Dagger begins to surrender to the chemistry between them, a cruel twist of fate threatens to rip it from him forever.

As MC and Mafia collide and the stakes of club life become higher than ever, will Dagger’s desire for Kelly give him the courage to form an alliance from an unlikely source, or will his need for control spell the end of their connection—and life as he knows it—for good? Find out in the darkly explosive finale of author Ruby Carter’s Devils Reapers MC series, Dagger.

MISCREANTS

Badlands: Next Generation, #1

by Natalie Bennett

May 23rd 2020

Cover Designer: Daqri Bernardo with Covers by Combs

Genre: Dark Romance

Love is madness.

Love is anguish.

Ours was ill-fated from the beginning

Crazier than crazy.

Sicker than sick.

Samael was the epitome of a beautiful nightmare.

Together, we were poetry--the kind that bled and wept, a mess of euphoric bliss and heartbreak.

I promised I’d be by his side until the bitter end, but after far too long I needed to be free of him.

Leaving would be one of the hardest things I’d ever done. 

He’d come after me, of that I was sure. Many would lose their lives, becoming casualties in our war.

When this was all said and done our story would be whispered in darkened corners for years to come.

A tale of a wolf pursuing a lamb, but with a masochistic twist.

For even lambs have teeth, and this one bites back.
