Behind the Lies

The Masked Duet, #2

I f*cked up.

I risked everything for her.

I worked hard to get myself out of the darkness that consumed me. I made a name for myself. I found a great career, and found someone I could spend my life with.

Then she came back and made me realize what I was truly missing out on.

Happiness.

Olivia was the one person I couldn't live without. When she left, she kept a secret that destroyed us. I used to think we wouldn't bounce back from that, but we did. Despite everything that tried to tear us apart, we overcame the obstacles and came out on top.

Only this time, I was the one with a secret.

And my secret will no doubt get us killed...

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.

But safety is an illusion.

And not every savior is a hero.

Liam Black wanted something from me in return.

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.

BLURB
A psychopath.
An infidel.
A child abuser.
A murderer.
A lover.
An insomniac.
A disturbed man.
A victim of his own mind.

Each one of these phrases can aptly describe Anurag Sanyal. This is Anurag’s story.

He has confessed it all to his diary. He has described every crime in vivid, nauseating detail. And each account is more surreal, more messed up than the last. There is only one problem – everything he narrates is based on lies.

And thus, we begin the eternal search for truth.

REBELLION

The Sainthood-Boys of Lowell High, #2

by Siobhan Davis

April 10th 2020

Everything changed the night he betrayed me, and now, the game has entered a new level.

BLURB

Galen did me a favor, reminding me the only person I can count on is myself, and I’m more determined than ever to avenge my father’s death and avoid the destiny Sinner has mapped out for me.

Saint is used to calling the shots, but there are new rules, my rules, and if he wants me in his life, and in his bed, he’ll toe the line. They all will, because I can’t pull this off alone, and they owe me. I’ll enjoy making Galen grovel, seducing Caz, frustrating Saint, and keeping Theo at arm’s length, because they deserve it for failing me.

Sinner thinks he’s in control, but forcing me into initiation plays right into my hands. War has come to Lowell as rival gangs battle The Sainthood for ultimate power, and I enjoy rebelling from the inside, placing more obstacles in Sinner’s path while I exact my revenge.

But I’m not some innocent thirteen-year-old anymore—I have blood on my hands and lethal enemies on my tail.

I’m playing a dangerous game, especially where my heart is concerned, but there’s no turning back. I haven’t come this far to walk away empty-handed, and the more secrets we uncover, the more we realize how far-reaching the betrayal and corruption extend, and there’s no choice anymore.

The Sainthood must be taken down, and we’re the only ones who can do it.

THIS WEEK'S COVER REVEAL - CONTEMPORARY DARK - COUNTS OF EIGHT (Four Families, #1) by Brynn Ford

COUNTS OF EIGHT

Four Families, #1

by Brynn Ford

May 31^st 2020

Genre: Dark Romance, Contemporary

BLURB
All of my choices had been stripped from me except for one.

Dance or die.

Three years ago, I was taken, stolen away, far from the world I knew, far from civilization. I became a slave, forced to serve one of the four families with my talent.

I’d been abused, battered, tortured in isolation. My Master brought me men, partners for performance, but they failed to live up to the high standard of dance my Master required.

Until one day, he brought me a new man. A blonde-haired, green-eyed, dreamy new man who had no idea what was coming.

The men before him had disappeared. I presumed they were dead. I couldn’t afford myself the luxury of hoping they’d made it out alive because that would give me hope that I might someday do the same.

Hope was a dangerous thing and this new man’s spirit still thrummed with that electric spark of lightness. I would be the woman to strip that hope from him piece by tiny piece until he had none left. Only then could I control him, use him. Only then could I even consider the possibility of a predictable, complacent survival in this nightmare life.

And until that time came, I would make the only choice I was given the liberty of making.

Dance or die.

Vanessa:

The devil doesn’t always wear an evil mask.

Sometimes, he appears in the most beautiful form.

Like the super-hot bad boy with the dirty-blond hair and a wicked glint in his blue eyes who swept in out of nowhere, stealing all the air from my lungs.

I thought he was my savior.

But he’s my ruination.

And he’s just taken a machete to my heart.

Jackson:

For years, my rage seethed under the surface.

Hidden behind a cloudy haze of my poison of choice.

But now, the fog has cleared.

And I’m out for blood.

I will annihilate those responsible for taking my sister from me.

Except he’s not here, so I go for the next best target.

The woman he abandoned.

Until it suited him to drag her into this messed-up elite world.

Sucks to be her.

Because when I’m done with Vanessa, she’ll wish she was dead.
