She was the epitome of forbidden fruit.
And I wanted a taste.

Liam

Being the oldest Ravage brother means I’ve always been the fixer, handling everyone else’s mess.
But the one problem I can’t solve?
Keeping my hands off my best friend’s daughter.
Hidden away in my remote cabin, writing is my escape until duty thrusts her into my life.
Over the years, Zoe evolves into a tempting taboo–the one person I crave but can never claim, despite what she tells me about her… inclinations.
I vowed protection at any cost–even if it’s from myself.

Zoe

Orphaned and thrust into adulthood, I bury myself in school work and keep my eyes trained on the prize.
Now, with law school and an uncertain future looming, I’m used to doing everything myself and pushing back against Liam’s stoic, overprotective resolve.
Until I learn that the vanilla, cinnamon roll of a man I’ve known my whole life isn't so vanilla after all.
Now, instead of infuriating me, his strict, commanding presence sends shivers down my spine.
I soon realize his resistance was never about denying desire for him–it was about fulfilling a different kind of hunger.

Ward Willing is a full-length, age gap, billionaire romance with BDSM themes. It is book three in the Ravaged Castle series. All books can be read as standalones.
Warning: This book contains an overprotective/possessive hero, explicit sexual situations, and strong language. There is a HEA.

I am living for these Ravage brothers! With Liam’s story, oh the spiciness! Oh the concept of the story will take you for such a wild ride as Zoe navigates life and discovers more than she bargained for with Liam and she isn’t complaining! There is a lot that unravels in this story as it just does not deal with the connection and relationship between Liam and Zoe but delves into a much deeper mental state. It is raw and emotional as well as the naughty moments. It was a great blend of everything to keep me fully engrossed in the story.

Hallie

No one pushes my buttons the way Logan Johnson does. I’ve spent most of my adult life trying to ignore him, which isn’t easy when you live in a small town and share the same friends.

So, when I have a little too much to drink and need a place to crash after our friends’ wedding, it would figure I find myself at Logan’s house. What I’m not expecting is ending up in his bed. With him. Naked. More so, I wasn’t anticipating enjoying myself as much as I did, anxious for a repeat, which is why I’m not surprised when it happens again.

The problem is those drunken nights have resulted in something unplanned. Something monumental. Something that will change our lives forever.


Logan

Being attracted to someone who drives you completely crazy is its own form of hell. Hallie Rhodes is entirely infuriating, yet so damn beautiful it makes me ache.

There’s a fine line between love and hate, and we’ve been blurring it for as long as I can remember. So, when a late, drunken night turns into something it shouldn’t, all bets are off. Plans change and futures are cemented, despite having no idea what really comes next. All I know is the more time we spend together, the more I realize having her in my life is paramount.

Now my biggest challenge of all presents itself. Proving to Hallie we’re better together than we ever were apart.

Cover Reveal: The Flame Kings's Bride by Lilith Vincent writing as Chloe Chastaine

 




Title: The Flame King's Bride
A Fated Mates Fantasy Romance
Trilogy: Fire and Desire #2
Author: Lilith Vincent writing as
Chloe Chastaine
Genre: Fantasy Romance
Tropes: Non-shifter Omegaverse/Fated Mates
Cover Design: The Book Brander
Release Date: March 13, 2024


BLURB

His desire for me burns hotter than flames, but unseen forces threaten to tear us apart.

I was the Flame King’s reluctant mate, a bride he snatched from another man’s funeral pyre. Zabriel was chosen for me by fate, and I fought my craving for him every step of the way.

At seven feet tall and riding the biggest, meanest dragon in the flare, Zabriel is an Alpha who can take whatever he wants and burn those who stand in his way. Yet he healed my wounded heart with coaxing words and fiery kisses until I craved no one but him.

In the midst of war, I found love in the arms of the Flame King.

My first heat is drawing closer and soon Zabriel will finally claim me and make me his. I’m his Omega and his bride, but I’m also a witch. There are many in Maledin who would rather see me burn than become Zabriel’s bride, or even kill their king before he can marry me.

Friends wear masks that conceal their blood-soaked intentions. Enemies past and present are sharpening their knives. Dragons hunt for prey, and protecting the man I love could leave my heart bleeding on ashes.

Author’s note: The Flame King’s Bride is a steamy, non-shifter MF romance set in a fantasy world of magic and dragonriders. Zabriel is a possessive hero, and Isavelle is a strong but sweet heroine. This is the second book in the Fire and Desire trilogy and ends on a cliffhanger.

Cover Reveal: The Surrogate by Penelope Ward

 




Title: The Surrogate
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Age Gap/Widower/Found Family
Forbidden/Enemies to Friends to Lovers
Cover Design: Letitia Hasser, RBA Designs
Release Date: February 26, 2024


BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…

ABBY:
I’m falling for the father of the baby I’m carrying.
The problem is: it’s not my baby.
And the broody widower is not looking for a long-term partner.
As a surrogate, the deal was that I’d only be in England long enough to give birth.
At first, the man seemed as pretentious as his name: Sigmund Benedictus.
He and I butted heads.
Sig challenged my intentions, accused me of just wanting to do this for the money.
Gradually, he learned to trust me.
He even became protective.
Over time, our heated animosity turned into fiery chemistry.
I was falling in love with him.
But my time here had a limit.
I needed to protect my heart from the devastatingly gorgeous older man who’d end up breaking it.
SIG:
When my in-laws told me they wanted to use my dead wife’s eggs to conceive a grandchild, I wasn’t immediately on board.
They swore that on her deathbed Britney told them it was what she wanted—but only if I fathered the baby. Her parents insisted they would be the ones to raise it.
Against my better judgment, I agreed.
I vowed to keep my heart out of it, though.
I’d continue to pretend it wasn’t happening and live the empty, single life I’d become accustomed to the past five years since Britney died.
And despite the fact that a certain younger American named Abby Knickerbocker had awakened things inside me that I thought were long dead…
I most certainly wouldn’t fall in love with the surrogate.

Two years of silence and no goodbye—she slipped away and through my fingers, leaving me with nothing but questions… and a heavy heart from missing her.
