Obsessions come in all flavors…

Chloe Morgan is weak. At least she is when it comes to Ward Reyes. She can turn down donuts like a wrestler during training, but when her on-again-off-again boyfriend blows into town looking for a booty call she goes down like a sinking ship. Only a drastic action can get her to move on with her life and away from the silver-eyed devil. Was it wrong to send him a break-up text? Definitely, but her choices are limited considering she’s an addict. But what if Ward is the only man that can give her what she so badly desires?

 

“We’re through.” Ward read the text a dozen times and still can’t believe it. But the proof is there in black and white. His sweet Chloe is giving him the boot. At first, it’d been the blazing heat between them that captivated Ward. It was Chloe’s giving nature and sarcastic wit that kept him coming back for more. Unfortunately his life is a mess, thanks to his brother’s gambling habit. Ward has spent the better part of his life cleaning up Malcolm's messes. He’s tried to keep the ugliness of it all from touching Chloe. Now, she’s threatening to walk away and Ward isn’t about to let her go without a fight.

Happy reading,

Hi Readers,

I’m thrilled to announce the release of With Bated Breath: A Romantic Suspense Collection. Authors include: Nicole Morgan, Desiree Holt, Krista Ames, EmKay Connor, and myself.

More about Devil up Close:

To expose a madman, she’ll need to brave the darkness…

Jagger Hames is a bodyguard in high demand. He can pick and choose which of society's elite to protect. But when an old friend requests his help with his daughter's twisted secret admirer, Jagger can't say no. Even though spoiled rich girls aren't his shot of whiskey, Jagger will do anything for the man that pulled him off the streets and gave him a second chance.

Amelia hates Jagger on sight. The delicious biceps, sexy tattoos, and wicked grin are eclipsed by the enormous chip on the man's bronzed shoulder. But when a monstrous psycho promises to carve her heart out and hang it from his rearview mirror, Amelia is left with one choice: stay real close to the devil she knows. A sexy, foul-mouthed devil named Jagger...

“If you love shifter romance, then this set is definitely one not to miss!” ~ Kazza

“The characters kept me glued to the book. A definite page turner!” ~ Lauren

“A sexy, intriguing start to a new PNR series!” ~ Lucy Monroe

She’s not what he expected and everything he craves…

Mary lost everything after the sudden death of her sister. Sarah was all the family she had left. Heading off to a cabin in the woods was supposed to give her time to mourn in peace. She didn’t expect to meet Boone Hawk. He’s quiet and intense and way too dominating for her taste. So, why then is she lusting after the dark-haired loner? His gruff attitude ignites something deep inside of Mary. When he reveals that she’s his mate, that their fates are intertwined, Mary does the only thing she can and offers to call the poor guy a shrink. Too bad the cute ones are always crazy.

The instant Boone catches Mary’s scent, he knows the truth. She belongs to him. As alpha of his pack he’s expected to take one of his own kind as his mate, making the pack stronger. And bringing a human into his world? Yeah, that’s a shit plan. But the longer he spends in Mary’s company the harder it is to resist her innocent allure. Unfortunately she thinks he’s a lunatic. When the sweet and gentle approach doesn’t work, Boone drops the act and unleashes the animal in him.

Hi Readers,
I have so many new releases coming up! I've been hard at work on my paranormal romance series and I'm loving these intense beastly characters.
First up is the blurb for Zadoc: Zenarians series, Book Four. 
She awakens the beast in him…

Zadoc has known happiness when he met his beautiful Jasmine. His ofelia. His soulmate. She was his whole world. Only to have her ripped away from him when she was murdered during the war with the Mordaines. Her death was a knife to his heart. As a centuries-old Zenarian immortal, Zadoc is aware that he will never love another. Never feel the soft caress of a lover’s hands upon his wings. The physical scars he bears are a constant reminder of all that he’s lost. Until he meets Laura. Sweet, shy, and Earth-born. Her presence brings light and joy to his soul—and his creature isn’t immune to her innocent allure either. After so many years of cold emptiness, Zadoc will go to extreme lengths to keep Laura by his side.

Laura enjoys a simple life. A good book on a stormy night. Sunday dinners with her family. Her life is as modest as it gets and she’s happy with the status quo. When she meets Zadoc, co-owner of Zenarian Industries, she’s instantly drawn to him. His commanding presence and the deep, gravelly tone of his voice sends tingles of awareness along her nerve endings. Everything feminine in her stands up and takes notice. Until she glimpses the black wings sprouting from his back. Wait, wings? Before she can wrap her mind around what she’s seeing, she’s kidnapped by a disgruntled co-worker and tortured, marking the beginning of Laura’s crazy adventure into a world she never knew existed.

Hi Readers,

Strokes of Pleasure is out now with Evernight Publishing. It’s part of their Romance on the Go line. I’m excited to start writing for this amazing publisher. With a little luck there will be more books to come so please stay tuned!

Strokes of Pleasure is a steamy friends-to-lovers short story. Grab a copy now!

https://books2read.com/u/3R6rJG

Early readers say:

“A book about exploring unexpected feelings and the balance between friendship and love and risking it all.” ~ Escape

“Anne Rainey's Strokes of Pleasure was truly a good romance. Friends to lovers. Hot sex. Everything I want in a romance. Highly recommended.” ~ Becky Jean

“Nice fast-paced story. Mila and Slade were great characters!” ~ Vivian C

Mila Porter’s curvy figure is half the reason Slade River friend-zoned her years ago. Does it matter that she’s had the hots for him for as long as she can remember? Sure, but she’s a realist. So what if she does fantasize about him from time to time? That’s her business. When the annual charity dinner at Mila’s work comes up, Slade offers to be her plus one. An act of kindness, that’s all it is. Or is it?

Slade would be lost without Mila. She’s the most important person in his life. And imagining her naked is a huge no-no. Sex would mess up everything. But when Mila starts talking about a co-worker she’s dating, Slade begins to see his best bud in a whole new light. A sexy, curvy get-his-hands-on-her kind of light. But does he dare risk it all for one night of pleasure?

Happy Reading,Anne Rainey
