Author: Emily Bowie
Genre: Romantic Suspense

Three very different couples, one hot affair, one crazy wife, a business deal double-crossing. What once stayed behind closed doors becomes open for all to see.
Summer Hart, a sexy, redheaded cougar, finds herself in the middle of everyone’s lives. On the outside it appears that she has the perfect life inside of her large, picturesque home. She had always thought that, together with her husband, they were the ultimate power couple, her being a lawyer and him being a doctor. Their honor roll daughter topped the picture-perfect image they created.
Her life is perfect, until she meets Cole Walker that is.
Cole Walker is a sexy, tough-looking, tattooed businessman. He used to think one woman was the way it should be, but after being married for some time he realized he needed more. All that changed when he saw Summer. The way in which he played his life was shattered.
Legal boundaries will be crossed and ultimate sacrifices made as the lives of these three power couples intertwine. Power, love, desire, sex, and ultimate betrayal encircle them all, unraveling a web of deception that may have best been left untouched.

Title: ADDICTED
Author: Lauren Landish
Genre: Step Brother Romance
Release Date: January 24, 2016
“Your lips would look great wrapped around my…”
Who in the world tells a girl that on their first meeting? Tyler Locklin, that’s who. He’s filthy rich and arrogant with a set of abs that is the envy of all young men everywhere, and did I forget to mention devilishly handsome? He’s a bastard of the first order. I can’t stand to be in the same room with him.
But with one wink or a flash of his mischievous grin, I go weak in the knees. It pisses me off. I’m supposed to hate him. He’s an asshole. Yet, I can’t help but be drawn to him because I’m . . . ADDICTED.
**Includes Bonus Novel Stepbrother Bad Boy’s Baby. Addicted ends at approximately 50%.




Tyler's gaze became so intense that I could feel my skin crawl. "That's not good enough for me."
I shivered underneath his gaze, but I couldn’t help thinking about all the women he must bring to this place. "Is anything ever good enough for you?"
"You."
My heart skipped a beat and my mouth went dry. Tyler moved in and I hesitantly backed up against the window. The glass slipped from his hand and shattered against the floor, but I hardly noticed it.
He reached over and ran his hand down my arm, caressing my skin softly. I trembled at his touch. It felt amazing.
"What are you doing?" I managed.
Tyler paused, his hand on my wrist. "What do you think?"
"I didn't come here to let you take me to bed,” I said.
"You didn't?" He had that playful grin on his face that I found so damn irresistible. "What did you think I was bringing you back here for? To bake s'mores?" He ran a finger up my arm all the way up my shoulder and then my neck. He stopped at my neck as if he was counting my heartbeat.
"I-I-I'm not one of your whores," I stammered, my heart hammering within my chest.
"I never said you were," Tyler said, coming in close. The heat from his body was enough to send me up into flames.

One kiss was all it took.
Between work, family and her ex-boyfriend, Ashley Blakely is completely stressed out. She doesn’t have time to write in her fantasy diary or compete in the annual ‘fantasy wish’ competition her and her sisters have going. The only thing she wants for Christmas is normalcy.
All hope of a normal Christmas… or life… fly out the window the moment she’s kissed by Kelan Grant. Now she’s swept up in a whirlwind of romance, seduction and danger. She wants no part of this new life. Yet once she finds out that her sisters and her best friend are in jeopardy, she will do whatever it takes to keep them safe. Even allow herself to be kidnapped and handcuffed by a devil in disguise.
Dr. Kelan Grant always keeps his word. The moment he lays eyes on Ashley, he vows she will be his for eternity. He doesn’t care that his brother is mated to her sister and wants to keep their real heritage a secret from the Blakely family. Kelan will do whatever it takes to claim his bride.
Kidnapping her is the easy part. Winning her heart is going to take some strategic planning. But between the dark angels stalking him and Ashley’s constant need to break every item in his home, Kelan is having a hard time romancing the woman who he feels already belongs to him.
Will he get the eternity with Ashley he’s envisioned? Or will his enemies snatch her from his grasp and awaken the monster he tries to hide?

EXCERPT
The incubi side of him could not fathom why anyone would stoop so low as to pleasuring themselves. There was always someone out there who could bring you more pleasure than your own hand could. After tonight she would never use this item again. He would destroy her pleasure toy, tonight.
‘We will go inside,’ he informed his beast. ‘But we will not touch her.’ A growl vibrated through his skull. ‘We will not touch her,’ he said again, this time with more force. His beast may control him at times, but when it came to this female, Kelan would be the one in charge. ‘Say it,’ Kelan demanded of his beast. ‘Say we will not touch her.’
-She wants to be touched. Look at her, she’s so close. I can almost taste her orgasm.
Kelan rubbed a hand over his face. He could almost taste it also. He wanted to taste it, he needed to taste it. ‘Say it demon or I will turn around and seek out the room Jackson has gotten for us to stay in.’
-We will not touch her… unless she asks us to.
That was good enough for him. Kelan cloaked himself, making his form invisible to her eyes and then teleported into her bedroom He wasn’t prepared for the scent of her arousal to hit him so hard. She smelled delicious. His mouth watered and his fangs protruded from his gums. He forced himself to turn away. He backed himself up into the corner of the room, far away from her. One deep breath, then another, followed by two more calmed him down enough so he could gaze upon her once more.
Kelan shook his head. This was a bad idea. But now that he was in here, he couldn’t bring himself to leave. Her nightgown was up around her waist and Kelan could see the spot he wanted to lick, so pink, so wet. His gums ached. He wanted to slide his tongue inside of her. He wanted to sink his fangs into her thigh and drink from her, over and over.
Again, he had to force his gaze away from her. Across the room there was a mirror. His reflection confirmed what he was thinking. His beast was trying to surface. Kelan stared into the glass, noticing how dark his eyes were and how long his fangs had become.
‘We will not touch her,’ Kelan repeated his earlier command.
-I cannot help it. I cannot sit still while she’s moving like that.
AUTHOR BIO
Hi, my name is Siren Allen. I’m a writer and lover of all things erotic and romantic. I reside in southern Mississippi where I write steamy romances that are guaranteed to make you blush. When I’m not listening to the characters in my head and jotting down their adventures, I am busy working as a Clinical Laboratory Technician.
I love to travel, preferably with my husband, so he can do all of the driving. I enjoy time with my family, who are just as silly as I am. I have no children… yet, wish me luck! My hobbies are reading, writing and shopping, though I hate trying on clothing. If I wasn’t a writer or a Laboratory Professional, I would probably be a Secret Agent. But that’s the beauty of being a writer, you can create your own world and be whoever you want to be. In my imaginary world, I am Queen and my siblings are my minions.
I write books for all paranormal romance lovers. It doesn’t matter if you’re white, black, brown, male, female or a zombie…. yes I do have a friend that’s a zombie. Bottom line is, my characters reflect everyday people and everyday people love reading about love. Throw in some awesome sex and you have the perfect recipe. Enjoy!

AUTHOR BIO
Author of historical, contemporary and erotic romances, I fell in love with happily ever after the day I heard my first story. (Yes, I was a precocious little brat who read at the age of two, but I could hear much earlier than that.) I studied literature for far too many years before discovering that writing stories was much more fun than analyzing them. Heck, as an author, I get to read the story before anyone else. I am happily married to my sweetheart of many, many years. My husband and I share our home with our cat Junior, who condescends to allow me to feed him and clean his litter box. (Junior only tolerates my husband's assistance when I am not available.) He occasionally permits me to pet him but demands my love and attention as his right (Junior, that is, not my husband. Although now that I think about it . . . . Let's just leave that an ambiguouse conundrum for readers to ask me about when you meet me.) To continue, I am in awe of Junior's feline ability to dominate with half a glance or a mere twitch of tail. Insatiably curious, an avid reader and traveler (me--not Junior).
I love to hear from readers about your favorite books and real life adventures. Crazy Cat stories are always welcome. You can send me your words of wisdom . . . Don't shake your head at me; all words are wise in one context or another. You can trust me on this; I'm an author. As I was saying, you can send your words of wisdom, humor, and friendship to me at contact@RueAllyn.com. Can't wait to hear from you.

Two natural enemies. One impossible love...
Detective Lily Morgan's never been one to let things lie. When a key witness in one of her cases is killed, Lily's determined to go as deep as necessary to find the truth - even if she has to go undercover into London's illegal underground fighting scene. Ever since she gave up a comfortable life in academia to become a detective, Lily's been all about the job - no regrets, no mercy. But solving this case needs something murkier, something far more personal... something like the shadowy spark flickering into life between her and bare-knuckle fighter Callum. And Lily's beginning to realize just how badly she might need it, too...
Callum Cross depends on nobody, at any cost. When you live your whole life in the naked lights of underground boxing rings, you learn to take work and pleasure where you can find them, not to look too closely at the shadows in the corners... and you also learn not to spend too much time near firebrands like Lily Morgan, especially when the darkness hides your own dark secrets. But Lily's also the only hint of a better world that Callum's seen in as long as he can remember. And when you swim deep enough, any glimmer at all starts to look like the way back up...Caught between sudden desire, lethal enemies, and their own conflicting agendas, Lily and Callum might be each others' last, best hope at finally finding the missing pieces of their hearts... or just enough weight to finally drown together. And with the jaws of the case slowly closing around them, there's no telling who will be caught in its teeth...
