RELEASE BLITZ – The Wrong Girl by Sasha Pierce

The Wrong Girl by Sasha Pierce is now live!

He’s a single dad, fresh out of the military and planning to stay focused on his career and kids. She’s a fun-loving heiress planning to take over her family business and run things her way. But when they have to work together, fate may have its own plans…

Blurb

When Jake Wright’s family imploded, he had no choice but to leave the only career he’d ever known and move his kids to the gorgeous mountain town of Aspen Ridge. With his experience training new military leaders, helping a billionaire ski mogul turn his daughter into a CEO is too good an opportunity to pass up. If it works out, he can secure a comfortable position and then get to work picking up the pieces of his life. Jake is used to hard work and sacrifice, so he’s certainly up for the challenge. The one thing he wasn’t counting on was Isabelle Tremont.

Ellie enjoys her freedom almost as much as she enjoys her family business. Fortunately, since she was practically raised to run it. She has her own ideas about how to improve the booming ski resort of Aspen Ridge, and she’s counting the days until her dad retires and hands over the keys to the kingdom. She didn’t think twice about hooking up with a hot stranger at a party–life’s short! That is, until her father introduces Jake as her new ‘coach’, and reality comes crashing down in the form of one extremely hot but annoying new shadow.

Ellie is determined to show Jake that she’s more than capable of managing her business, and Jake is determined to keep his focus where it belongs: completing his mission and securing a new home for himself and his kids. Unfortunately for Jake, he finds himself falling for Ellie’s sunny charm more and more every day, and his growing attraction to Ellie wars with his own aversion to dating the boss’s daughter.

Seventy shades of messed up.

That was what she’d been told about herself for nearly her entire life.

From a young age, she knew what it was like to be hated. To be loathed so much by a person that they literally resented the air you breathed.

For her entire childhood, she fought to live, despite her father’s constant effort to make her life a living hell.

Her sisters and brother have no clue what kind of closet psychopath their father really was, and she’ll die before she ruins their picture-perfect view of him.

Why? Because she’s already broken. There’s no fixing this kind of damaged. But there’s no reason everyone else needs to suffer, too.

***

From the moment Hannibal Peters laid eyes on Hades Singh, he knew she was the one.

That was why he ran.

That was why, when he saw her suffering, he couldn’t stay away.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

Hades, oh Hades….. I honestly wasn’t looking forward to her book but Lani broke my heart with our FMC’s story!!!

When you find out what she’d been through all her madness and weird ways made sense and then kinda made me wonder why none of her siblings had ever asked her about what was going on or why she acted the way she did….. not that she’d likely have told them….. but the gal could have done with empathy rather than the sort of apathy everyone had towards her at times.

Hannibal was the perfect person for Hades. He saw her and he got her. Once she was in his orbit he was never gonna let anything bad happen to her again. They were quite the pair and their attraction and connection made them hot as, well, Hades!!!!

There was a fair bit going on in this book and the story moved at a pace.

Thoroughly enjoying this series and cannot wait for more from this circus family!!

Guess who gets cut off from her family’s inheritance because she decided to dump her cheating ex?
Me.
Which led me to be on the lookout for a fake fiancé who is filthy rich so he can impress my mother.

Luckily for me, I attended an exclusive masquerade ball hosted by the infamous American Billionaire Club and landed hot-as-sin billionaire mogul Jasper Barrett.

He buys me as his date for the night and offers me a deal I can’t refuse.

Be his wife in order for him to inherit his uncle’s business.

But he has two rules for our marriage of convenience to work:
Look pretty on his arm.
Play the happy wife in public.

We both get to use each other—sounds easy, right?

But every kiss sends a shiver down my spine, and every touch ignites passion inside of me.

We should stop this before I fall in love.

The only problem is… I can’t stop, no matter how hard I try.

My heart is on the line, and I’m afraid he’ll smash it into pieces.

This book is a complete STANDALONE and part of The New York Night Series. Every book in the series will be different characters in the same world.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Poppy

Two weeks have passed since I decided to keep my distance from Jasper. I ignore him at work, at home too. Jasper hasn’t said much to me since the night at the club. He proposed to me on Wednesday on a fancy yacht with rose petals on the floor, surrounded by flowers, taken by professional photographers, and uploaded on every social media. Bloggers ate those photos up like a kid in the candy shop. I received offers on free food and beauty products, and doors were open for me for interviews about my life. A few top-name modeling companies even reached out to me to be on the front of their magazines.

We have a photo shoot at one of Jasper’s mansions, in the gigantic master bedroom. I’m not feeling this shit, not one bit. My makeup is caked on my face and it feels heavy. Jasper’s hands are around my waist, and he’s leaning into my neck, breathing me in. I want him to touch my body, but then again, I don’t. My hormones go haywire around him.

Garrett

When Felicity Greer moves back to town, I have one plan: woo her, win her, wed her. It sounds simple enough, but she’s not making it easy. For one, she keeps going out with other guys. Men, I know she has zero interest in. Thankfully we live in a small town and news travels fast, so I’m able to find her before the date goes too far. Yes, you could call it stalking, but I’m just staking my claim. Because this woman has been mine for years, it’s just time for her to recognize it.

Felicity

Garrett Whitmore was the bane of my existence, long before he made it his life’s mission to ruin my dating life. For a while there in high school, he was my friend and my secret crush. Then he started dating my best friend and I found out that he’d only been using me to get to her. Yeah, he’s too nice a guy to ever say it to my face, but it still hurt finding out I was just the Designated Ugly Fat Friend. I fell for his easy charm once before. I don’t know what he’s playing at, but there’s no way I’m making the same mistake twice …

RELEASE BLITZ – Star-Crossed Lovers by Sarah Deeham

Star-Crossed Holiday by Sarah Deeham is now live!

One hot celebrity dad + one nanny = steamy, slow-burn holiday magic in a small town.

Poppy never imagined she’d get stuck in an elevator with a grumpy action star and his young daughter. But then again, nothing has gone as expected over the last few months. Not losing her beloved teaching job or her fiancé dumping her.

Poppy tries to keep her crush on Hollywood’s hottest dad under control when he signs his daughter up for her art lessons. But all bets are off when she becomes their temporary nanny over the holiday season.

Ronan Masters is in Snowflake Harbor to film a movie while he adjusts to being the parent of a daughter he barely knows. When they get stuck in an elevator with Poppy, he’s not sure what to make of the woman with a magic purse full of glitter glue and goody bags. She makes his child smile like no one else. And soon, they’re both under Poppy’s spell.

But as his daughter’s new nanny, Poppy is off limits. He can’t afford distraction, and he doesn’t do commitment. He also doesn’t do holidays. Still, as the countdown to Christmas continues, and the date they have to leave comes closer, Poppy has him rethinking everything.

By S.L. SCOTT

Release Date: October 19, 2023

Noah Westcott should come with a warning: TOO HOT TO HANDLE!

Tropes:

He Falls First/Surprise Pregnancy/Office Romance/Enemies to Lovers/Second Chance

 

Synopsis:

Noah Westcott should come with a warning: Too Hot to Handle!

The man is stunningly handsome with his embracing brown eyes and lips that make me want to kiss that smirk right off his face.

How could I resist?

Spoiler: I didn’t.

That was my first mistake.

I blame him for the second. It should have been easy and fun. No strings attached. No feelings. As if he commanded it like he did me in the bedroom, I did exactly what I said I wouldn’t. I fell for him.

Two years later, the same man walks into my life. Again. A lot has changed. Not his devastating good looks, or that smug grin, but for me everything.

Now that Noah’s back—in my office and hanging around after hours—I can’t get distracted. I must protect my secret—the one who calls me Mommy.

Excerpt of Forgot to Say Goodbye:

As soon as I walk in, I’m struck with glaring hazel eyes and pursed red lips. She sits forward in my chair, resting her elbows on my desk. “Did you really think you’d waltz into this company like nothing happened between us?”

“I didn’t waltz, sweetheart. I was recruited. Let me break that down for you. That means—”

“I know what it means.” She stands, her fingertips whitening from the pressure against the desktop. “I don’t need you to explain anything to me.” Coming around, she adds, “Here’s what’s going to happen. Tomorrow, you’re going to quit.”

“Quit?” I struggle to keep my eyes from bugging out. She won’t get the best of me . . . like she once did. I approach the desk, and volley right back, “You’ve got a lot of nerve to tell me how this is going to play out.”

“It took more than nerves to make it to where I am in this company.” She comes around and pats me on the chest. “Sweetheart.” 

I catch her hand before it slides away. She double steps back, which brings us face-to-face. “I’m not quitting to make you more comfortable. If you remember—”

“Oh, I remember.” She holds my gaze with her glare. “I remember everything despite spending two years trying to forget that night altogether.”

Forget that night? Why the fuck does she even care when she was the one who walked away? “So let me get this straight. You sneak out in the middle of the night, but somehow, I’m the bad guy? That’s rich, Olivia.” 

Her eyes dip to the bond between us before she yanks her hand away. She also makes sure to get a last dig in by poking me in the chest. “Say my name while you can, but make sure it’s on the way out the door.” Her fake smile falls as fast as her face did when she saw me in the conference room. 

How the fuck did this turn into a war in the office?

Blurb:

Darling Ranch. It was a family name in this town, a family business and a family way of life.

Over the past year, the place hadn’t felt like family, or home, and I was barely staying in business.

My wife had died from an aneurysm while pregnant with our first child. It happened one morning while I was out in the field tending to the animals. The doctors told me it wouldn’t have mattered had I been by her side, the outcome would have been the same. Still, I beat myself up. My best friend and neighbor, Gabe Bentley knew this. He let me mourn my own way, but now he’s pushing me harder than ever.

“What’s the rush?” I asked him one morning.

“I’m being deployed. I need to know my sister and the farm are taken care of….by the only man I trust in this town…you.”

I’d known the army was recruiting again but I didn’t know he’d been called upon. I also didn’t know Cadence was back in town. I really didn’t know if I could be the man, the friend, the rancher that he needed me to be.

What I did know?

No matter how much it pained me, I’d try to do whatever it took to make sure that I didn’t let Gabe down.

Then I saw Cadence and for the first time since my wife died I actually thought I could heal. She made me feel alive, made the pain go away. So why did I feel so guilty? One minute I was longing to hold her, the next I was pushing her away, until I finally pushed too hard and sent her running.

I didn’t want to fail my best friend, and I didn’t want to fail Cadence. We all needed our Christmas wish and I decided to do whatever it took to make sure we got it.

We both grew quiet as we looked out over the farmland. I’d help my friend, he knew it. I owed him after everything he’d done for me. There wasn’t much more to say. Gabe knew I’d been struggling. That was why he’d been here daily since Ella had passed—to check on me. He may not know that I noticed, but I did. I couldn’t get mad either. He was being a friend. The friend I needed.

“Are you going to be okay?” he questioned.

“What do you mean?”

“If I leave, are you going to be okay?”

I leaned back in my chair and nodded. “Do I have any other choice? She’s been gone for over a year. It’s time that I pick up the pieces and move on. I know you’re worried. It’s written all over your face, but I’ll be fine.”

“I know. I just feel like I’m abandoning you in your time of need. It’s just…”

“It’s just you have to do this for you. I get it, Gabe, I really do. Why do you think I do nothing but work? It’s my way of coping. This is yours.”

“I just wish your way of coping had changed.”

“What is that supposed to mean?” I asked, emptying my beer.

“Oh, I don’t know, perhaps you could cope by, getting involved with a woman. A relationship may do you good.”

I looked off into the distance. “Nah, I don’t think so,” I muttered, getting up and returning with two more beers. The last thing I needed right now was to have a conversation about my personal life. Gabe should know better than to start on me about dating again.

“Sorry man, I just thought that it may help you cope with things.”

I passed him another beer and sat back down. “Now I’ll do what I can to help you out, but you say you are trying to figure something else out? Care to shed a little light on that subject?” I asked.

“I’m heading out to see Cadence, to see if I can convince her to return home. If she does, I know she’ll need help. Our farm is twice the size of our grandparents’.”

First, he started with my personal life and then he mentioned Cadence in the same sentence. He better not be thinking what I thought he was. I took another mouthful of beer and cleared my throat.

“You aren’t suggesting that Cadence and I…”

Gabe shrugged and sort of smirked as he tipped the bottle back.

There had been a time that I’d had a crush on her, but she gave no hints. Then Gabe made it very clear to me and some other guys at school she was off-limits. In fact, I remembered him muttering something about the bro code after he gave another kid in town a black eye for hitting on his sister. After that, I knew better than to think about touching his sister, as did every guy in town. I enjoyed having my balls intact. Since I hadn’t been willing to ruin our friendship, I pushed my feelings to the back of my mind and gotten involved with her friend Ella.

“Cadence, from what I remember, can look after herself,” I muttered. “She’s looked after your grandparents’ farm just fine with no help from anyone. She doesn’t need my help.”

“Yeah, but it’s different here. More moving parts, bigger operation, and I’d just feel better knowing that I can count on the only man I trust here to be there if she needs something,” Gabe said, looking at me.

I chuckled.

“Please, Connor.”

I hated seeing my friend beg, but at least he was begging me and not some woman who would only slap him across the face when he got close enough. I drank back the rest of my beer and nodded my head.

“Fine. Let me know once you figure it all out. I’ll help her for a bit, but once Cadence is all settled in and things are going well, I’m done.”
