EDDIE: Cancel your dinky little roomette on the train. I’m booking us two of the big bedroom suites. 

BIRDIE: I’ll cancel it AFTER you’ve booked the other sleeper rooms. And reimburse you. 

EDDIE: Don’t worry about it. Just cancel your tickets. I got this. Round trip. I’m on the Amtrak website right now. 

BIRDIE: You don’t have to leave NYC when I do! You’ll hardly be able to spend any time with your Instagram girlfriend that you've never met! 

EDDIE: It’s fine. She’ll be fine with it. Cancel your tickets. 

BIRDIE: You aren’t going to stop texting me until I’ve canceled them, are you? 

EDDIE: Damn right I’m not. Just do it. You can thank me later. 

*** 

EDDIE: Um. Did you cancel your tickets? 

BIRDIE: Yes, Edward. I canceled them. 

EDDIE: Okay, because it turns out they only had one Family Bedroom from LA to Chicago. But the good news is I booked it for us. It’s the biggest room they had. The bad news is I booked it for us. And it’s the only sleeper room they have left now. 

EDDIE: In related news, there was also only one room left from Chicago to New York. 

EDDIE: Hands up if you’re excited! *man raising hand emoji* 

BIRDIE: I am so mad at you right now. 

*** 

BIRDIE: I’ve compiled a list of ground rules re shared train bedroom. Check your email, please read carefully, and refer to it again on the ninth of February. Thank you. 

EDDIE: *nerd face emoji* Received. I have some notes.

AUTHOR BIO

Before writing steamy romantic comedy novels, Kayley Loring got a BFA in creative writing from a Canadian university and had a fifteen-year career as a screenwriter in Los Angeles (under a different name). She mostly wrote PG-13 family comedies that studios would pay her lots of money for and then never make into movies. In 2017 she decided to move to the Pacific Northwest and write about all the fun stuff that she wasn't allowed to write about in those PG-13 scripts. Now she’s breathing cleaner air and writing dirtier words. It’s an adjustment she’s happily getting used to.

Release Blitz - His: Dominic by Fiona Murphy




Title: His: Dominic
Series: Sabatini Family #1
Author: Fiona Murphy
Genre: Contemporary Mafia Romance
Release Date: January 1, 2021


BLURB

Any minute I’m going to wake up from this nightmare. Being tied up and thrown in the trunk of a car doesn’t happen in real life. Except the silk tie around my wrists feels very real. And my father, Johnny Conti, the head of the Outfit, is telling me to be a good girl—that I’m to be the wife of the man who tied me up and has me over his wide shoulder. 

Some women might swoon over gorgeous Dominic Sabatini with his blue eyes, dimples, and muscled body in a silk suit. Not me. Those are just distractions from who, what he really is: a ruthless killer with blood on his hands and ice in his veins.
There is no way Dominic could actually want to marry me. A virgin, curvy, buried in an all-girls Catholic boarding school for most of my life and seventeen years younger than him. He’s marrying so far beneath him it’s absurd.

No to all of it. Tomorrow I’m going to marry the man of my dreams, a nice, kind accountant. I’m going to have the safe, boring life I’ve always longed for. I have to escape this nightmare. But Dominic growls I belong to him and he keeps what is his.


This a mafia romance with dark elements. 

While this is the first book in a series it is a standalone and does not end in a cliffhanger.

EXCERPT

It hits me. I’m not getting out of this. I won’t be able to get away from Dominic Sabatini. Not today, a month, or even a year from now. If somehow, some way I got away, he’d find me. I have no idea why instead of scaring me, the realization thrills me. 

No, no. Fear shakes me out of my reverie. I can’t just give up. There has to be a way. There is always a way, isn’t there? 

I startle at the knock on the bathroom door. 

“Regina, get moving. I’m starving. I want to grab something to eat then get back on the road.” 

Looking down at the dress, anger at Dominic and myself fuels me. Today was supposed to be my wedding day, this is my wedding dress. I refuse to make this easy, for either of us. 

Hands shaking, I put on the pretty white lace bra and plain cotton white briefs. Forcing my fear down, I slip into the white dress. 

When I open the door, Dominic is standing by the door leading out of the room, carrying his leather duffle. His eyes go cold. “Change.” 

“No.” I’m defiant, refusing to back down from the dark energy vibrating around him. 

He drops the duffle and crosses the room in all of three steps. A hand goes around my throat and my stupid body betrays me, going instantly limp against him. “Take it off or I will.” 

I shake my head as much as I can. I blink and holy fucking crap, his other hand finds the neckline and tears it from my body. We’re both breathing hard and fast. The hand around my neck lets me go and fucking shit, I stumble into him. His hands wrap around my arms as he catches me close, his mouth at my ear. Hot air is sliding down the skin of my neck and I can’t fucking breathe. 

“You are mine. You belong to me. I can make you tremble in ecstasy or fear. The decision is yours.”






AUTHOR BIO

Due to commitment issues I have lived in many different cities and my favorite is Chicago but I have managed to settle into Austin and perhaps my commitment issues are behind me. 

I have enjoyed reading from a very young age and it wasn't long before the children books bored me and I read the books my mother enjoyed Stephen King and Dean Koontz and I didn't sleep without the light on until I was about ten. 

I came across my first Harlequin by accident and it was love at first read, no one died and happy endings? It was a whole new world and I loved it. 

I wrote my first story at eight and everyone died, of course. Since then I would like to think I've gotten better and now I'm writing the happily ever afters I first fell in love with, with some hot sex thrown in along the way. 

As a plus size woman myself, I have started writing the stories I always wanted to see myself in but never did. And now I’m ecstatic to give BBWs the happily ever afters with hot Alphas I want to read.

Release Boost - A Midwestern Cinderella by Krista Lakes




Title: A Midwestern Cinderella
Author: Krista Lakes
Genre: Contemporary Royal Romance
Release Date: December 28, 2020


BLURB

Zoey is hardly what you'd consider princess material. Born in flyover country, she never learned how to curtsy, let alone walk in high heels. And when she literally trips into the arms of a handsome stranger at her friend's wedding, she thinks she's finally found love.

Freddie Prescott is a charming prankster. Despite his carefree attitude, he pursues Zoey with an intensity that shows he can be serious when he needs to be. And with those rock hard abs and rippling biceps, his pursuit of Zoey is a satisfying one. Without realizing it, Zoey finds herself falling in love.

There's only one problem: Freddie is a prince.

Spending a week without Internet access or phone reception has left Zoey in a weird predicament. He certainly left enough hints that he was rich and famous, but he never outright said it. And when the time comes for him to leave their vacation getaway, he asks her to come with him to the kingdom of Paradisa.

But Zoey can't use the right fork, put her pinkie up for tea, or any of the things expected of a princess. Plus, there are those in the kingdom who don't want an American close to the throne. How can she hope to keep Freddie's love if she's a stranger to his royal world?

NYT Bestseller Krista Lakes brings you this brand new sweet-and-sexy royal romance. This standalone novel will have you cheering for an American princess’s happily ever after.

Release Blitz - Devious Wingman by Casey Hagen




Title: Devious Wingman
A Cocky Hero Club Novel
Author: Casey Hagen
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 3, 2021


Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward are excited to bring you the Cocky Hero Club: original works from various authors inspired by Keeland and Ward's New York Times bestselling Cocky Bastard series.


BLURB

Well, if it isn’t Falcon Malone. 
In the panty-dropping flesh. 
My older brother’s best friend and subject of my every teenage fantasy. 
He taught me how to kiss. 
Then he walked away. 
I tried to keep him buried in the past, but he’s been in every kiss since. 
Tethering me to unattainable dreams. 
Well, he might have taught me how to kiss, but now I’m going to teach him how to... well, you get the idea.
I’ll tempt fate, tantalize Falcon, and resurrect a fierce hunger between the two of us. 
And then I’ll be the one to walk away. 

I left my best friend’s little sister, Emory Brooks planted firmly in my past. 
Or so I’d thought. 
Those pink girl-next-door lips of hers belonged in our sleepy hometown where I couldn’t reach them. 
I’d taught her how to kiss...specifically, how to kiss me. 
Then I’d left. 
She deserved better than my tattered soul. 
Now she’s here. All grown up. In my neighborhood. In my pub. 
And the subject of my friend’s desire. 
My job...charm the ladies while my man goes for the prize. 
But not when the prize is Emory. He can have anyone else…but never her. 
I’m the wingman... and I’m about to go rogue.

AUTHOR BIO


Casey Hagen pens her snarky, passionate stories from the salty air of Kennebunk, Maine. She’s a born and raised Vermont native, a New England girl to the core, with Ben & Jerry’s in her heart and real Vermont maple syrup pumping through her veins. 

She’s the proud mother of three girls and a new, first-time grandma with an insatiable addiction to Fall Out Boy, and a new, rather concerning obsession with tattoos and piercings. Can you say “cool grandma?” 

The inked and pierced grandma spends her time tucked away in her office, coated in cat hair, alternating between tearing her hair out trying to find the perfect words and being one step ahead of her three scheming fur babies she is positive are plotting her demise with every swirl around her ankles at the top of her office stairs. 
She loves writing stories about real people, with complicated histories, relatable everyday problems, and giving them the hard-won happily-ever-afters they deserve. 

And she thanks every last one of you who picks up one of her stories. 

Casey is done talking about herself in the third person.

Corporal Cole Morgan is a cocky jerk. 
He may have everyone else fooled, but I know better. 
After my sister died, I was left to sort out her affairs and pick up the pieces. 
30 days and then I’m on a one-way trip back to our hometown.

Everything was going according to plan, too. 
Until Cole, with his stupid green eyes, perfect hair and ridiculous good looks, ruined everything.

One little fling won’t hurt anything … will it? 

Casper Davis is a pain in my ass. 
I take one wrong turn, ending up with a head injury and an inconvenient little case of amnesia. 
All of a sudden, I can’t report for my next duty station for 30 days. 
That’s fine, I’m going to make it a month well spent. 
Visiting my grandmother, since she feeds me. 
Berating my business-savvy cousin, because why should I have to suffer alone? 
My dirty little secret? I’ve upped my Peeping Tom game, spending every night watching the girl next door. 
She’s accident-prone, annoying, and the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. 
Casper might have brought me to my knees, but there’s no chance I’ll stay there. 
There’s only one thing more dangerous than the chemistry we have together. 
A secret that, if exposed, could burn everything around us to the ground.
