Lady Guardians Forgiven Book Tour and Giveaway



Lady
Guardians: Forgiven
by
Reana Malori

Genre:
Contemporary Romance


Geneva
Powers had experienced one of the worst days of her career.


She
played the corporate game every day for the past ten years and
enjoyed the life she’d built. Straddling two worlds was never easy,
but she’d done just that for many years. During the day, she was a
mild-mannered financial guru in a world of suits. But in her free
time, away from the clean-cut world of numbers, she was a Lady
Guardian. Riding her bike in the open air with the hum of the engine
underneath her, was the only time she felt free to be herself. Due to
some underhanded dealings at her office, her two worlds were about to
collide in a most glorious way. 

Jamison
Reed just wanted a good burger and a cold beer.

He
was a war veteran, a businessman, and a biker all rolled into one.
The night he caught sight of the beautiful woman walking into his
favorite bar, all those labels fell to the side. At that moment, he
was simply a man. A man who wanted to claim the woman who had a body
made for loving. It was only supposed to be one night. Just enough to
get her out of his system. That small taste of her wasn’t enough
and now he wants more. When danger comes to her doorstep, he knows
there’s no one else better to protect Geneva. His need to protect
her was too great and he would let nothing come between him and his
woman.

The Clan of the Wolf Book Tour and Giveaway


The
Princess and the Wolf
The
Clan of the Wolf Book 1
by
Karen Kay


Genre:
Historical Romance

TWO
HEARTS BETRAYED


Refusing
to believe the rumors that the European prince she was forced to
marry had died in a far-off land, the princess, Sierra, sets sail to
America, bent on revenge and determined to learn the truth. Because
she will require a scout to guide her through the wilderness, she
calls in a favor from the man who had betrayed her long ago, the man
she had once loved deeply and had hoped to wed, the noble Cheyenne
scout, High Wolf.

Many
years before, a European prince had invited High Wolf to travel an
ocean and as a brother, to live as a member of the royal family.
There High Wolf had fallen in love with the princess, Sierra. But
instead of an engagement and the planned wedding, the princess had
treacherously married his friend, the prince. Betrayed and
broken-hearted, High Wolf sailed back to America, determined to
forget the princess. But a promise given to her years earlier brings
her back into his life, igniting a desire he must resist, for to
surrender to her again is unthinkable.

Forced
into one another’s company, with the threat of life or death around
every corner, overcoming their prejudice might be their only means of
survival. But can either of them trust in a love, once betrayed? Or
will their past force them apart again, this time forever?...

This
book has been previously published.

Warning:
A sensuous romance that might fan the flames of desire. Be warned.
You might fall in love all over again.









Brave
Wolf and the Lady
The
Clan of the Wolf Book 2

He
saved her life, then stole her heart….


To
escape an arranged marriage, Mia Carlson, daughter of a U.S. senator,
instead elopes with the man she loves. As they are escaping from her
Virginia home, heading west, their wagon train is brutally attacked,
leaving Mia alone and in grave danger. Rescue comes from a most
unlikely source, a passing Lakota scouting party, led by the darkly
handsome Indian, Brave Wolf.
Although
Brave Wolf has consented to guide Mia to the nearest trading post, he
holds himself apart from her, for his commitments lie elsewhere. But
long days on the trail lead to a deep connection with the red-haired
beauty. Yet, he can’t stop wondering why death and danger stalk
this beautiful woman, forcing him to rescue her time and again. Who
is doing this, and why?
One
thing is clear, however: Amid the flurry of dodging assassin bullets,
Brave Wolf and Mia come into possession of a powerful love. But is it
all for naught? Will Brave Wolf’s obligations and Mia’s secret
enemy from the past finally succeed in the sinister plot to destroy
their love forever?

After My Heart

Knights Book 1
by
Sonya Jesus
Genre:
NA Romantic Suspense

Amelia’s
past issues and personal time limits propel her into a relationship
that alters her normal life at Westbrook University. Connor, her new
potential boyfriend, triggers jealousy, rehashes old relationships,
sparks new ones, and ignites a rage in others that will devastate her
ordinary life. As she desperately tries to hold on to her pre-Connor
life, she struggles to balance the new-found attention while trying
to follow her heart. Something she realizes is complicated… very
complicated - because her heart has no idea where it’s
going. 





Connor
may be the change Lia is looking for, but he is certainly not the
ending Hawk wants for his Queen. Hawk’s invested too much time in
planning his future to let some random guy walk away with his happily
ever after. He will do anything to protect her virtue, even if it
means protecting her from herself because Amelia belongs to him.
He’s
chosen her… 
He’s
watched her… 
He’s
studied her… 
He
knows everything there is to learn about her…
And
when the time is right she will reign his heart.











Knights
Who Stole My Heart
Westbrook
Knights Book 2

Amelia’s
heart is torn between the new, the old and the familiar but when her
heart screams out what it wants, Amelia listens. It’s not always
easy since a conflicted heart wants different things on different
days, but she finds a way to work around her indecisiveness and focus
on what she needs- what she thinks she can’t live without. 





The
closer Amelia gets to figuring out her love life, the more Hawk
unravels. While he deals with loose ends and new threats, his
strategic plans start to fall into place. Pawns advance, the King’s
in the ideal position and the Rook hosts the Mad Lib Auction. What he
doesn’t expect is for his Queen to be in danger and for Knights to
steal hearts.

They
were out to break my heart...





Amelia
finally figures out exactly who her heart wants, and she is
determined to go for it. She is willing to give the knight who stole
her heart everything. She owns up to her mistakes and truly attempts
to change, but just because her mind is made up, doesn’t mean her
love is reciprocated. Will she choose the best-friend who learned her
by heart, or the soccer god who ignored her for the longest time? One
of them will win her heart, the other will break it… But neither of
them are safe from the guy who will stop at nothing to protect
her. 

Murder
isn’t something Hawk shies away from. Actually, he prefers to use
it as a last recourse, but he’s unravelling. The closer Amelia gets
to achieving happiness, the more his control disintegrates. And when
one of his carefully laid plans turns on him, he loses it. Realizing
he’s the reason behind Amelia’s attack, plagues him with guilt.
In all his attempts to protect her, he was the one who put her in
danger- a failure he isn’t willing to have looming over him… But

back?
