Eternal by Rachel Van Dyken Release Day


*This is a crossover novella featuring characters from both the Seaside and Ruin series*


Lead singer of AD2 Demetri Daniels only wants one thing...


To marry the love of his life and make the day perfect for
her.



But perfect isn't exactly happening, not with his
sister-in-law going into labor, or with rabid fans discovering their wedding
location, or birds suddenly attacking the rehearsal dinner.



It doesn't help matters that his bride to be is starstruck as
singer Ashton Hyde makes a drop in appearance to start recording his new album.


Nothing is going right.

And it's about to get worse.







“What?” I tilted my head. “Chicken out? No striptease? Man, not even any boob. It’s like you’re too afraid to show me—“
She shoved something into my right hand.
Something lacey.
I looked down and almost passed out into the seal tank.
A black lace thong.
Her black lace thong.
Holy shit, it was still warm from her body.
“Ah—“ My voice cracked like I was twelve.
“So…” Alyssa wrapped her dainty arms around my neck. “…I gave a little. Eat the damn fish, Demetri. That’s how these things work, don’t they?”
I nipped her lower lip then pressed her against the closest wall, ready to strip off her jeans and lay claim to what had been just out of my reach. “If I eat two fish, what do I get?”
With a sultry grin, she leaned up and whispered in my ear. “Use your imagination.”
“My imagination tends to be graphic.”
“Good.” She winked. “Mine too.”
“So maybe I’ll eat three just to be safe.”
“Depends on how many surprises you want in the next few hours.” She lifted her shoulder and examined her nails like she didn’t care what I did.
I freaking downed the rest of the cup of fish — swallowed them whole — then almost died a slow death as the taste of fish permeated my mouth.
When I looked up through teary eyes, Alyssa had her phone pointed in my direction, laughing.
“Tell me—” My voice was hoarse. I had to hit my chest to keep from gagging. “Tell me it’s just a picture and not recording.”
“Say hi to your Instagram followers,” she said cheerfully.
I flipped the camera off.
She frowned.
I forced a smile then gagged again. “The things I do for sex.”
“That’s the best part, Dem.” Alyssa laughed. “You were getting it within a few hours regardless. Duh, we’re getting married.”
“But…” I shook my head. “…I thought this meant I skipped ahead a few steps, like when you get the free-pass card in board games.”
“Name the board game, and I’ll say yes.”
“Er, shit.” I was a total blank. “Monopoly.”
She gave me a thumbs-down. “But look on the bright side! You made me laugh and, honestly… taking me back here, one of the most romantic things you’ve done in the last few days. It’s where we argued, made out, talked—“
I nodded my head. “It’s where I fell for you.”
She giggled.
“It’s where my obsession with those eyes started,” I whispered. “It’s where I decided I wasn’t going to go another day, live another second, without learning everything I could about my taffy girl.”
“And so the whore married the pimp,” she teased.
“I’m the whore in this scenario, aren’t I?”
“Well, I’m the supplier, so technically, I’m the pimp, right?”
We both burst out laughing as an elderly lady walked by us and glared like we were sitting in church talking about prostitution.
“Clambake.” I held out my hand. “Then tomorrow…”
“Married.” She clenched my fingers and let out a happy sigh.

A Stone in the Sea Cover Reveal by A.L. Jackson



We are excited to share the cover of this brand new series by A.L.
Jackson

A Stone in the Sea will Release on Feb 23







He wanted nothing at all…

Until he found she had everything to give…

Sunder lead singer and guitarist Sebastian Stone has everything—fans, fame, and fortune. He also has a heart full of bitterness and a reputation for a short-fused temper. But an outward reputation rarely reveals the true man inside. Facing assault charges after trying to protect his younger brother, Sebastian is sent to Savannah, Georgia to lie low until the dust settles in L.A.

Shea Bentley is beautiful, kind, and hiding from the very lifestyle Sebastian has always embraced.

When the mysterious, tattooed stranger begins hanging out at the bar where she works, Shea is quick to recognize he is nothing but trouble, but she's helpless to the way her body lights up every time his intense gray eyes tangle with hers.

They both soon find themselves drowning in a sea of desire and passion that won’t let them up for air.

Sebastian knows firsthand secrets never die, and he’s not the only one who’s hiding them.


Loving someone always comes with a price. But will it be Shea’s past that costs them everything?

Nocturne - Andrea Randall / Charles Sheehan-Miles

Il genere romance che tratta la storia d'amore proibito tra una studentessa e il suo insegnante è uno dei miei preferiti!! L'inevitabile passione che nasce pur consapevoli che ci sono dei limiti che non si dovrebbero superare per non mettere a repentaglio carriera e reputazione, solo che non conta più niente quando i sentimenti vengono ricambiati e vorresti combattere contro tutti e tutto pur di avere la tua fetta di felicità. Questa è a grandi linee la tempesta emozionale che viene vissuta dai protagonisti di questo libro intitolato Nocturne scritto da Andrea Randall / Charles Sheehan-Miles : Savannah Marshall talentuosa suonatrice di flauto,  e Gregory Fitzgerald affascinante violoncellista di successo e insegnate di conservatorio. 
Il romanzo incomincia con l'audizione di Savannah per entrare al conservatorio, Gregory è uno degli esaminatori. La ragazza si fa subito notare per la qualità dell'esecuzione dei pezzi preparati. L'impatto è immediato e va diritto al cuore del violoncellista che non fa trasparire nulla dalla sua espressione e la congeda con uno svogliato gesto della mano. Anni dopo, si incontrano ancora quando Gregory sostituisce una collega al corso di teoria di musica. Durante il semestre hanno modo di interagire più da vicino; per la studentessa, lui è uno dei più giovani e di successo suonatori di violino della Boston Synphony Orchestra, non ha nemmeno trentanni, per l'insegnante, lei è una delle ragazze più dotate che abbia conosciuto negli ultimi tempi. Nonostante lui sia una maschera di ferro, impeccabile e irreprensibile, le loro schermaglie durante la lezione e il talento strepitoso lo ammaliano e si ritrova confuso, insolito per lui sempre così rigido con se stesso e con gli altri.

Never in my career had a student antagonized me as much as she did.

Entrambi si rendono conto che quello che provano non è solo rispetto reciproco, a dispetto dei continui disaccordi e discussioni, e si arriva ad un momento che nemmeno l'autocontrollo dell'insegnate riuscirà a tenerlo lontano da lei.

For the first time in my life I felt a gaping empty wound in myself, a wound I’d stuffed with nothing more than melody for all those years and suddenly that wasn’t enough

Gregory e Savannah hanno molto da perdere se questa storia diventasse di dominio pubblico, cosa sarà più importante: l'amore travolgente che li unisce o le regole che il mondo della musica impone a chi decide di intraprendere questa carriera ?
