Synopsis











While this closely knit group of six tries to settle into normal; drugs, money, and vengeance leave one man dead and another in jail for a wide range of crimes he did not commit.






Friendships and bonds are tested past the breaking point, allegiances are questioned, and relationships threaten to crumble.  From the point of view of all six characters we've come to love, perspective is offered on the hell that they are all experiencing, the love they've all found, and the sexy, fairytale lives they all wish to get back to.







This is the final book in the Hale Series.







Recommended for readers 18 and up due to strong language and explicit sexual content.


















Excerpt







I shake my head clear of those thoughts as I pull into and park in the subterranean garage. I all but jump out of the SUV and sprint to the elevator bank, in a mad rush to get to my penthouse. I’m chastising myself for not grabbing a bottle of wine or a late lunch for us as I unlock the door to the large apartment.






I empty my pockets into the basket on the front entry table. I smile to myself because I know Alexa hates the damn thing. I may actually move it this weekend. Anything to make her happy. I frown as I step further into the apartment and see that the living room and kitchen are empty. I should’ve called her first before just assuming she wouldn’t find something to do, knowing I’d be at work again until late.






I kick off my shoes and scoop them up as I make my way to the bedroom. The door is shut which is odd, but I don’t falter in my steps until I hear a man’s voice, “Fuck, just like that! Suck it deep.”






My hand hesitates on the doorknob, because I know when I swing it open my life is going to change. I teeter on the edge of indecision; my broken heart throbbing painfully in my chest. “I’m close, bitch.” I hear the masculine voice say.






Two things happen at the moment. I’m suddenly angry that Alexa is doing this to me when she thinks I’m at work, but alternately I’m pissed at this man for talking to my woman like that.






Hatred over the cheating wins out and I swing the door wide. My shoes tumble from my hands just as “What the fuck, Alexa,” boils out of my mouth.







She squeaks loudly and tries to pull the sheets over her but it’s too late. She’s already been caught.

Release Day Blitz: Imperfect by Cherry Shephard








Author:
Cherry Shephard



Title:
Imperfect



Series:
Blaze of Glory



Release
Date: October 21, 2015










US Special Forces, Staff Sergeant
Ethan Stone, lives by one mantra “fight or die”. 

The army is his life, his men are his family. So
when an injury sends him home from Afghanistan, the nightmares of what he’s
witnessed, can no longer be kept at bay. The alcohol he drowns himself in every
night only sinks him further into depression’s abyss.

Waking after one of his benders, Stone is greeted
by a tiny, knife wielding firecracker and one destroyed bar. 



Saddles, was meant to be her escape. A new start
away from an abusive relationship and a way to fulfill her daddy’s dying wish.
But all the bar has brought Shannon is debt collectors and pushy buyers
threatening to destroy her. And to top all that off one drunken, gorgeous idiot.



The last thing she needed was a handsome, angry
ex-soldier to distract her.



All he wanted, was to pay for the damages. But
when she refuses there is only one thing he can do. But when a familiar face
from his past changes everything, can they learn to work together?



Will they find salvation in each other’s arms?















She turns over in bed and I look at her,
expecting to see regret in her eyes. Instead, I see understanding. This woman,
this . . . angel, has come to me in my greatest time of need. I swallow past a
sudden lump in my throat, too overcome with emotion to speak. She doesn’t say
anything but leans over to kiss my cheek. I turn my head at the last second,
capturing her lips with my own. This kiss is different, though; it’s softer,
gentler. I nibble lightly on her bottom lip and feel her smile. Her hand travels
down my chest to the waistband of my jeans but instead of pulling them off like
I expect, her hand disappears beneath my shirt. I tense, not ready for her to
see that vulnerable side of me. I’m too scarred; she’s going to take one look
at my body and run. I grab her hand and pull it out of my shirt, but she’s felt
them. The scars. I can see the horror on her face. She’s going to leave. I
brace myself for the rejection I know is coming… But it doesn’t. I flinch as
she pushes my shirt up, exposing my scars to her gaze. The light from the lamp
casts our shadows on the wall, and I choose to look at that rather than the
horror on her face. She’s silent. Too silent. What the hell is she thinking? I
risk a glance, and my heart almost stops beating from what I see. Tears. She’s
fucking crying. For me. “I’m sorry,” she cries, wiping away her tears. I want
to fucking laugh. She’s crying for me, and apologizing for doing it. “Don’t.” I
smile, leaning up and capturing her hand in my own. I press my lips against it,
tasting the slightly salty tang of her tears on her fingers. “Why are you
crying?” “Look at what they did to you,” she whispers through her tears. “Keets
told me you were captured, but he never told me this.” Keets told her? I should
be angry, but I guess a part of me is glad she knew. It would explain why she
didn’t run the second she saw the scars. “Will you tell me?” she asks, but I
shake my head. I can’t do it. She’s opened a part of my heart tonight that I
thought would lie dormant forever. But this, this past that I come from, this
weight that I carry . . . it’s mine. I can’t burden her with it. She
understands. I don’t even have to say anything. I swallow past another lump in
my throat as she kisses the long, jagged scar on my ribs. I have a tattoo there,
covering the worst of it. I’m covered in tattoos, actually, most of them on my
chest and arms. All designed to hide the imperfect body that lies beneath them.
But she makes it bearable. Her kiss is soft, fleeting. Not enough, though.
Never enough. This time, when she tries to take my shirt off, I let her. This
time, we make love. It’s gentle, slower. I want to show her the same kindness
she’s shown me. She takes me to heights far beyond my fear and insecurities.
This time, I make love to her as Ethan, the man . . . not Stone, the injured
soldier.














Cherry Shephard loves Jared
Leto, that’s no secret.






She also writes beautifully
dark erotic romance stories, focusing on honour and redemption. Her men are
dark and strong, with just enough vulnerability to make you believe you could
save them. Her women are tough, beautiful and can hold their own.



When not writing, Cherry can be
found indulging her other obsession, watching horror movies.






Cherry lives in Queensland,
Australia, with Mr. S, her three children, three cats, three dogs and 4 hermit
crabs.

Blog Tour: The Devil's Masquerade by Nina Mason‏


Today, we are hosting the blog tour for THE DEVIL'S MASQUERADE, book three in Nina Mason’s erotic historical series ROYAL PAINS. Set in Great Britain during the Restoration period, the series chronicles the sexual, marital, and political exploits of Robert and Maggie Armstrong, the Duke and Duchess of Dunwoody.






Buy it now!





Here's the blurb:




Beware the devil in disguise… 




The year is now 1685 and Maggie’s father has just been crowned King
of Great Britain, but that doesn’t mean trouble is over for the Duke and
Duchess of Dunwoody. Rather than cool the flames of hatred between
Papists and Protestants, the coronation of a Catholic monarch has only
added accelerant to the already raging blaze. Two-faced devils lurk in
every corner of the royal court, as do diseases with the power to kill
and maim. When Robert falls prey to the smallpox virus, it looks as
though Maggie will lose the two people most precious to her—her beloved
husband and their only child—the son she bore three months before after
five years of heartbreaking miscarriages and stillbirths. The one person
in London who can help save her son demands a steep price in exchange
her services. Will Maggie trade Robert’s hard-won fidelity to save her
only child…or offer the apothecary an even more scandalous alternative?





Note: ROYAL PAINS contains highly erotic content and is intended to be read in order.

"F**k." I slam my fist into the desk before me and feel nothing but rage. I need to go after her. I need to explain. "But isn't this what you wanted?" The voice inside my head whispers. "Isn't this a nice easy way out?"


Everything Max has done has always been at a cost to others around him. He wasn't about to make that mistake again. No longer will his selfish ways punish those close to him. Sometimes it's better to have had and lost than to never have had at all.


Finally after what felt like forever, Jess was getting a glimpse of control over her life again and allowed her defences to come crashing down, only to have what it guarded to be crushed once again. Now, on the other side of the world away from her friends, she doesn't know what to do.


Should she stay or should she go?

In the last few months, Jess has been faced with more obstacles than she ever thought possible. Heartbreak, loss and betrayal to name just a few.

Excerpt 


“Grayson you have to stop,” I cry out as I grab onto his shoulders forcefully digging my fingers into him. Unable to stop myself, I wrap one leg around his waist, grinding my crotch against his leg to help ease the delicious ache. With the pulsating slowing down, I slow my breathing. Minutes passed, no movements, no sound came from either of us. I slowly start to come back to myself, embarrassment flowing through me. Please tell me I did not just do that.


“Holy Christ, did you come?” Grayson pulls himself away from my breast. I push my face into his chest and nod. “Fuck me...that was hot,” he breathes into my hair, holding me close in his arms.


“What?” I mumble, raising my head to look in his eyes.


“Willa,” he looks at me and runs a hand through his short hair.


“You came from me sucking and tugging on your tits, you were so turned on, so responsive so…”


“So embarrassed,” I blurt out looking in his eyes.


“Willa,” he began as I try to scramble out from underneath him “Wait, wait.” He pins me to the mattress.


“Grayson, I feel like a complete slut right now. I’ve been home for two minutes. Now here I am in your bed where I had a fricken orgasm…happy?” I’m mortified by my behavior.


“Fuck ya, I am,” he grins, pleased with himself. I fall back onto the bed and cover my face with my arm.


“Baby, look at me.” I look into his eyes.


“Grayson, please can we just not talk about it.”


“Willa, you’re not a slut, okay? We’re not strangers.” I keep my hands over my face.


“Baby, stop hiding,” he pulls my hands away.


“That was the first orgasm I’ve had that wasn’t self-inflicted,” I whisper.


“Fuck me…baby I want to see that so bad right now,” he tells me, lust burning in his eyes. I laugh.


“Grayson, please be serious I’m so embarrassed I mean…I told you that…ugh, God.” Could this get any worse?


“I’m more than serious, Willa, the last thing I want to hear is you being embarrassed. You were with idiots, but Willa, I couldn’t be happier right now. I wish I\d taken my head out of my ass sooner. You would have been in my bed a hell of a lot quicker.” What on earth does that mean?


“Are you aware how fucking sexier you got? Didn’t think that could be possible. Knowing that I’m the only one that will ever pleasure you, makes me horny as hell. I’ll be inside of you, tasting you, knowing where to touch you to get you off. Multiple times because I will make sure of it. Jesus, you sky rocketed off the fucking charts, baby and it was hot as hell.” God, his words are vocal orgasm's, how does he do this?


“I’m sexy?” How is this happening right now, the one man I’ve fantasized for my entire young life has my panties damp. I need to tread carefully with this.


“No, Grayson, this can’t happen. I haven’t been home a day yet. I’m freaking out right now.” Was I that woman? Hopping in his bed and agreeing to be with him. Okay, okay I know he is gorgeous and yes I have loved him forever… shit I have loved him forever. I began to panic.


“Holy shit, Willa, relax, it’s happening, and it’s okay. I’ve wanted you for a long time. When I saw you at the hospital I knew it was time. Time to finally show you how good we could be together. I won’t let you analyze this, so stay out of your head. I promise you, this between us is not bad. Fast? Yes, but not bad.” He pushes me back again and laid on top of me. “God you are so cute, I love that you don’t even know how sexy you are.” Love? Did he say love?


He kisses me hard, deep. His tongue searches for mine in a searing kiss as his hands roam and grope. Our hearts pound from the contact. He feels so good, so right.


“Okay, okay we need to stop.” He sits us back up, causing me to giggle at his frustration.


“Are you hungry? I’m worried that you haven’t eaten.” He looks at me with concern.


“What’s the time?” I ask.


“Eight…you slept for three hours.”


“Gosh I have to get home,” I tell him, jumping out of his bed.


“You’re not going home,” his voice is stern.


“I have to…”


“Willa,” he pulls me close him again.


“I spent three hours curled around your luscious body, felt you, made you cum, and then I find out you haven’t been properly fucked.” I swallow hard. “All this in my bed. If you think you’re leaving, you have another think coming. You will have a nice hot shower, put on one of my shirts, and have something to eat. Lay in my bed curled into me while we both go to sleep and I’ll take you home tomorrow morning…got it?” He is like my hot bath and my black coffee, I was getting sweaty again.


“I could use a shower,” I admit.


“I thought so,” he grins.


Cocky bastard!





I am T.M. Sullivan, and I am a stay at home mom that works from home as a hairstylist, while caring for two beautiful daughters. I am married to an extremely hard-working man who has done nothing but show me support in this venture. Being an avid reader my whole life and enjoying writing when I was younger. I decide to write a story of my own, never did I expect to be in the position I am now.


I love books with a little suspense, love and a whole lot of sexy, demanding men who love hard with their whole heart. Which is why I wrote this one I wanted my men to be every day hardworking men, whether they work in construction, work as a police officer, fireman, even sensual lawyers or business-men, I love them all. My women need to be passionate and strong giving their men a run for their money.


A tiny secret that no one knows, until now: I love stories with an HEA, and cliffhangers kill me. I hate surprises. I'm not kidding; I will read the ending of the book to make sure there is an HEA and if the book is a cliffhanger, I will wait until all the books are out and read them all right after another.


I want to thank anyone who gives my work a chance. I never thought in a million years I would write an entire book on my own, let alone have anyone who chose to read it.

Cover Reveal: Sasha's Dilemma and Sasha's Demons by T.L Smith








Sasha's Dilemma and Sasha's Demons



Cover Reveal: September 19,

2015



Goodreads -- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21385667-sasha-s-dilemma









Synopsis:




Sasha’s Dilemma



LOVE— it’s a common word that people take for
granted. As for me, Sasha Adams, I have seen that love isn’t everything, though
sometimes it’s meant to be. But to be honest, I never wanted it. That has been
my plan for as long as I can remember. The only person I ever wanted to love is
my sister Lola. But then I met not one no, not even two— but three beautiful
men. 


Dylan, the doctor,
had his head screwed on tight. Josh, well, he was a tattooed sex machine
playboy. Then there was Brax, the rock star. It was clear they all wanted my
heart, but I wouldn’t give it to any of them willingly. 



Unwillingly, I fell
hard, but there was a part of me that knew he could destroy me. So I refused to
give him all of me, and now he’s returned and determined to win me back. But
it’s too late, isn’t it? 






















Synopsis:





Sasha’s Demons





Sasha 

I believed my life
was happy and content and that I would never love or need love. That was true
until Josh walked into my life. Then he ripped my heart out and tore it to
shreds. 

My heart is a broken
mess and I’m not sure how to fix it. I think Brax wants to be the one to help
fix me, but I don’t know whether to give myself to someone again. I can’t risk
it - I just can't. It will end up destroying me, of that I am sure. 



Brax 

She is broken and
keeps on pushing me away, soon she will realize I am the one who will mend her
heart, and no one will love her like I will, I am it for her. Together, she
will fix us both. 

I let her walk away
once, that’s not going to happen again.

Exclusive Excerpt:

Damien lightly laid me on the bed, removed my towel, and tucked me beneath the sheets. “Do you need anything? Water, saltines, anything?” Concern filled his features once again.

“No.” I smiled. “I’m fine. Just tired.”

He nodded his acknowledgment, and then he walked to the bathroom door while pulling his soaking wet shirt from his back. He tossed it on the chair, every muscle flexing with his movements.

I might have been tired, but that didn’t stop me from being stunned into silence as my body flamed to life at the sight of his bare torso. My greedy eyes traveled from one end of his shoulder to the other, drinking in the beauty of his ink.

Without glancing at me, he sauntered over to his dresser to pull out a dark-colored shirt.

“Don’t,” I whispered, feeling my heart stop beating in my chest.

It destroyed me a little every time he concealed this part of himself from me. I knew something awful had happened to Damien and that he didn’t want to talk about it, but him hiding it from me hurt beyond any other physical pain I’d ever experienced.

His arms paused midair, and he gazed over his shoulder. From his side profile, I saw the instant his body tensed, and his jaw clenched.

“Please…” I swallowed thickly and dug for courage. “You want me to stay. And I want to lie with you…with nothing between us.” I realized I was being unfair, but I was that desperate.

A visible tremor shook through him. It felt as though an eternity had passed before he spoke, “Don’t touch them.”

My heart swelled within its confined space. He was going to trust me.

“I won’t,” I breathed in relief. “I promise.”

“Don’t ever break a promise to me, Raelyn.” He slowly lowered his arms and pivoted to face me. “So, don’t make one if you can’t keep it.”

“I keep my promises,” I vowed with the utmost sincerity.

“As do I. Always.” His voice was reverent.

Thank you to my dear sister, Kels, who showed me a few years ago how much I truly missed reading. And to my loving husband, for not throwing away my Nook, and planting the seed of writing in my mind. I am forever grateful. Xo

Readers, words cannot thank you enough for supporting me along this incredible journey. I hope you enjoy my novels as much as I do writing them. I thank each and every one of you.

Believe in yourself and follow your dreams...
