Bratva Lullaby:

I’m fake dating the boss of the Zarkov bratva, what could possibly go wrong?

Lev Zarkov is a real life monster.

No, correction, he’s actually the devil. 

Except, when I first meet him he’s simply the mysterious, handsome man travelling next to me in first class on a flight to New York. 

And after being dumped at the altar by my loser fiancé who vanished into thin air the morning of our wedding, when things get flirty between me and the mysterious stranger, I think why not?

Surely I deserve one night to forget, I mean, where’s the harm in a little indulgence, right?

I’ll tell you exactly where the harm is. It turns out my one night stand is not only the boss of the Zarkov bratva, but he’s also a billionaire who is used to getting what he wants …and what he wants is me with his ring on my finger. 

I’m to appear in public as his fake fiancé and in return my loser ex will get to keep his brains inside his head.  

Every instinct tells me I don’t want to do this.

I’m just not prepared for how persuasive he can be… 

Bratva Lullaby is book one in the Zarkov Bratva duet. Brooke and Lev’s story concludes in book two, Midnight Poison. 

Midnight Poison:

He took me as collateral to insure my ex -fiancé kept the deal they made. 

But since then Lev Zarkov has become so much more than the devil I thought he was.  

And now his baby grows in my belly. 

I don’t want to leave him but after one devastating night blows up our life, I know I have my baby to think about.

I tell myself that leaving is the right thing to do. But waking up without Lev in the middle of the night is pure midnight poison. 

I miss his touch. His smell. The warm, comforting way he would hold me in his arms and let me know how much he wanted me. 

But that isn’t the man who comes after me.

He’s angry. He’s formidable. He’s hurt. 

And now that he’s found me, he’s going to make me pay for breaking his heart. 

But there is a danger lurking in the shadows. 

And we’ll have to put our differences aside long enough to fight the invisible threat that could destroy everything. 

Midnight Poison is book two in the Zarkov duet and concludes Brooke & Lev’s story.

Cover Reveal: Love Hard by Monica James

 

Title: Love Hard

A Memoir

Author: Monica James

Genre: Creative Non-Fiction

Cover Design: Sommer Stein

Perfect Pear Creative Covers

Photographer: Michelle Lancaster

Release Date: May 15, 2024

BLURB

If love is an addiction, your first love is the first hit.

How many of you remember your first love?

Because falling in love for the first time…I remember that. And that’s the thing about your first love—we all have a love story.

But this isn’t a love story.

This is a life story.

The good.

The bad.

The heartache.

It’s all here.

Love is truly a battlefield…

Love is scary, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. When you love someone wholeheartedly, you leave yourself open to being destroyed…and that’s what I did, what I still do even though I know better.

But it doesn’t make a difference.

The best kind of love doesn’t make sense. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.

This one-in-a-million story is mine, and if you take anything away from this book, it would be to never be afraid to love.

So, let me introduce myself. You may call me Z.

Buckle up, besties, because this will be a bumpy ride.

Love hits you when you least expect it.

Are you ready for the fall?

Series: Havoc of Sins #1

Author: J.L. Drake

Genre: Dark Billionaire Romance

Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Mafia/MC Romance

Release Date: March 5, 2024

BLURB

Many sins lay in the creases of my hands. Darkness and corruption are part of my life.

After hints from my brother that all is not right with the family business, I leave Mexico and return to Vegas. I have a responsibility to protect what’s ours, no matter the price or who gets in the way. Those who don't fall in line will soon realize why I’m called The Vegas Reaper.

I demand order and obedience, so when I come head-to-head with our beautiful new hire, I’m faced with an unusual challenge, one that infuriates yet intrigues me.

When my hotel goes up in flames, my anger flares along with it. I pull on my cut and join The Devils Reach. The desert ride pays off, but there’s more at play here than I ever imagined, and I’m caught in a chess game of power from an unseen force. Deception, secrets, and chaos threaten my world. Could our new hire hold the key to it all?

___________

Warning: This story is meant to be read in the reading order that can be found in my Amazon bio and website. There is a heavy crossover from my Devil’s Reach Trilogy through the Quiet Mafia Series, and my Dark Water Series, where Grim is first introduced.

This is intended for 18+, violent, may contain trigger warnings, and of course…ends with a cliffhanger.

Whisper Waves by Blake Black

 

Whisper Waves by Blake Black is now live! Snag the first in the duet of this paranormal why choose romance today!

One Click Your Copy Today!

Cover Designer: Covers by Ivy

Blurb:

Your deceased loved ones are only a whisper away.

They are still here, still with you, even though you cannot see them.

Unlike me, I can see them just fine.

People call me weird, crazy even, but I only want to help the souls who are trapped in between and the loved ones they leave behind.

Until my good intentions get me locked away and leave me broken and traumatized. So much so, I swear to never talk to a spirit again.

But a road trip through the country—driving away from a home that has nothing left for me—and a night spent in the arms of tequila, helps me find myself in the embrace of a strong and handsome fisherman with ocean blue eyes.

The same ocean blue eyes his three brothers have, including the one who is a ghost.

He needs my help, but can I leave the shadows of my shackles behind to ensure he will find the light?

***WHISPER WAVES is a medium burn, spicy ‘why choose’ paranormal romance. It is the first book of the Soulful Seas Duet and ends on a cliffhanger. The book contains violence, profanity, and sexual content. Some parts may be triggering.***

Trigger Warnings:

grief, loss of a loved one, suicide from a side character, depression, mental health institution, roofied, attempted SA, drowning.

Oh those whispering stars! My heart with this book. While the gauntlet was thrown to make me cry, I did get all up in my feels about this book without the tears. But fair warning, you will probably need the tissues. Black blew my mind with this story. From the concept, the emotions, to everything in between, I was lost in this world and I honestly do not want to leave. Sloane is such a breath of fresh air for a character. She is broken but so strong at the same time. She is a fighter but also breaks down when it is too much. Her connection with the other world is intense to say the least and seeing how it blended within the story had me giggling with Saylor, but also my heart breaking with other ones that she could see. Then the Jones brothers that are breathing will keep you on your toes. They are such polarizing men that you want to love one, hate another and just want to smack upside the head the third! But learning why they are the way they are. It is a raw story with that family. 

Whisper Waves is one of those books that will have you in a grip hold and you are begging to find out more. I could not put this down once I started and I am so in love with it. From the emotional moments, the intense spicy ones, and to those moments that will leave you breathless, looking at you last chapter, this story will have you completely swept away into the waves and begging for those echoes to come!
