Victoria Davison has had her heart shattered. She’s has sworn off men forever, a plan that has worked stunningly well until about five minutes ago, when she found out she needs to be married before her thirty-second birthday if she wants access to the one hundred-million-dollar trust fund her grandfather set up for her.

Grayson Pierce is the devastatingly seductive, illegally gorgeous front man for Ruin. He’s the hedonistic saint of sin, wrapped in leather, whiskey, and fame… He’s living the dream until his record company tells him he needs to clean up his image or he’s done.

A contract is signed.

This is for convenience only…with a time stamped expiry date.

Love is strictly out of bounds.

But when music’s crown prince of mayhem touches her, sparks fly.

Tori’s not about to trust her heart to rock’s most legendary lover. Her body, though? Maybe.

As it turns out, pretending to fall in love is incredibly sexy…

And falling in love for real, with a man she promised not to fall for?

Series Blitz: Wages of Sin by Onley James and Neve Wilder


We are so excited to share the Wages of Sin series from Onley James and Neve Wilder! We’re going to be highlighting each of the three titles this month–check out the series today and be sure to grab it today!
Series Title: Wages of Sin
Author: Neve Wilder & Onley James
Genre: Dark MM Romance
All the emo, sex, and sarcasm you'd probably expect from an Onley James/Neve Wilder collaboration…
About Bad Habits:
Jonah taught Cas a million ways to protect his body but not one to protect his heart.
Smart-mouthed hacker Caspian escaped an abusive home at sixteen. Now he’s one of the most sought-after black hatters in the world. Jonah is a ruthless contract killer with only one weakness, the vibrant runaway he took in years ago: Caspian.
But Cas bailed when he turned eighteen, and Jonah has maintained a steady diet of eat, kill, sleep since then.
Jonah had always been the fatal flaw in Cas’s code, the bug that froze the part of his brain separating logic from emotion.
A threat to Cas’s life brings him back years later—not as the boy Jonah remembers, but as a hardened computer hacker with a price on his head and a list of names everybody wants.
The chemistry between them is as undeniable as it is dangerous.
In a world of secrets and murder, trust is a liability and feelings can get you killed. But Jonah let Cas go once, and he’s not willing to do it again. Even if it means confronting his past, solving a twisted puzzle, and taking out half of New York City’s seedy underbelly to keep Cas safe.
Bad Habits is a steamy, action-packed thrill ride of a romance with a HEA and no cliffhangers. It features morally ambiguous men, pancakes drizzled with snark, chosen family, drive-in movies, and the kind of love that drives a guy to murder in order to protect. In short: all the emo, heat, and sarcasm you'd probably expect from an Onley/Neve collaboration. This is book 1 in the Wages of Sin series. Each book will follow a new couple.
About Play Dirty:
“When you talk, chaos follows and I forget who I am.” 
Madigan has spent his life indulging in the world’s most hedonistic pursuits, his skills as a sharpshooting killer-for-hire paying his way.
Azrael, an assassin referred to as the angel of death, is a chemist and a loner, his poisons as lethal as they are undetectable. 
A chance encounter leads to a passionate night and a heated rivalry that spans years, but after they’re both offered a chance at big money by taking out elite targets on a mysterious hitlist, they find themselves once again in each other's way. And then in each other’s arms. 
Trust doesn’t come easily for either of them, but no matter how far they stray, fate always seems to pull them back together. In a profession where your partner is just as likely to kill you as kiss you, maybe trust is as close to love as they get? 
Play Dirty is a steamy, action-packed thrill ride of a romance with a HEA and no cliffhangers. It features two stubborn rival assassins who can’t seem to stop tempting each other, a bit of knife play, a Die Hard-style Christmas, plenty of dark humor, and true love. Because even assassins deserve their soulmates. This is book 2 in the Wages of Sin series. Each book will follow a new couple.
About Head Games:
“You’re a vigilante in an argyle sweater.” 
 Straight-laced psychologist Tobias is an expert in the deviant behavior of others but a novice when it comes to his latest endeavor: serial killer.
After years of high-profile kills and mentoring numerous other assassins, laid-back Soren lives his life in a state of semi-permanent vacation. He comes out of an early retirement to help out a friend, only to set off sparks with the renowned psychologist when they discover they’re hunting the same man. 
One shaky truce later, Soren has a new mentee in Tobias. 
Soren finds Tobias and his dark impulses fascinating. Tobias finds Soren’s relaxed attitude infuriating. They have nothing in common except their ability to kill and chemistry neither can deny. But a kill list, a rage room, the Irish mob and the ghosts of their past all stand in the way of their happily ever after. 
Head Games is a steamy, thrill ride of a romance with a HEA and no cliffhangers. It features an uptight, sweater-loving psychologist with a taste for blood and a soft spot for his murderous yorkie, the most zen contract killer to ever mosey the earth, plenty of dark humor, and true love. Because even bad dudes deserve their soulmates. This is book 3 in the Wages of Sin series. Each book follows a different couple.

Cover Reveal: The Way I Hate Him by Meghan Quinn

From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn, comes a new age-gap standalone romantic comedy featuring a new cast of characters that will immediately have you hooked. This steamy, enemies-to-lovers small town romance delivers the perfect happily ever after every romance lover craves. Releasing August 1st in all formats, check out the cover and sneak peek below and pre-order your copy today!

About THE WAY I HATE HIM (Coming 8/1/2023)
Why am I holding a box of stolen memorabilia formerly owned by my ex-boyfriend's boss in my arms? It's called . . . revenge.

After failing my last semester for my masters degree, I decided to come back to my hometown of Almond Bay and wallow in self pity while my boyfriend told me everything was going to be okay. To my dismay, instead of open arms, he greeted me with a box to move my things.

Now I'm not a petty person, but when he told me he broke up with me because I was boring, there's only so much of the higher road I can take. Hence the box of memorabilia I took from him.

The plan? To give it back to his boss, who happens to be my brother's nemesis, and get the ex fired. But plans never go the way you want them, because instead of dropping off the box with a note, I'm pinned with the crime by Hayes Farrow himself.

And because my life is so pathetic, he gives me two options: turn me into the police and press full charges or . . . work it off. How could I possibly work for someone I can't stand? Easy, I don't look good in orange.

But working for Hayes isn't as horrible as I thought it would be. The hate I had for him begins to turn into something else - something deeper, something I never thought I'd feel.

Unfortunately there are still old grudges and family drama to deal with. And what happens when my brother finds out that I'm working for the guy he hates more than anyone else in the world? Will I be able to follow my heart or will the way I hate him blind me from the love I feel?

Get your sneak peek here!

Because I like to do things my way, I pour the creamer in the mug first, stick it under the coffee maker, and press start once I load it with one of his pods. I smile to myself as I watch the brown liquid mix with the creamer, stirring itself. See, genius and I’m not dirtying a spoon.

Satisfied, I pick up the mug and carefully walk it down to his bedroom. Such a lazy ass that he makes me do this. Just his way of holding control over the situation. When I reach his bedroom door, I part it open and stick my head in.

“Coffee delivery.” I push the door all the way in just as Hayes walks into the bedroom from the bathroom, wearing nothing but a low-slung towel around his waist.

Dear.

Mother.

Of.

God.

I feel my jaw slack as my eyes fall on his wet, toned body. Still wearing the necklace he doesn’t seem to ever take off, my eyes scan over his thick pecs, his toned, sinew-covered shoulders and biceps, and his stack of abs covered in droplets of water. Water that slides down each curve and bump of his fit stomach, all the way to the light patch of hair just below his belly button that extends to . . .

Oh God.

There’s a bulge.

My eyes snap up to his, and my mouth goes dry as his wet hair falls over his forehead and a light smirk plays on his lips.

Damn him.

Damn him and his sexy, mouthwatering body.

And damn that knowing smirk.

Yup, he’s not going to let that once-over slip by.

I can only imagine what he’s conjuring in his head.
Vanessa Edwin and Teddy Hamilton narrate in duet this sexy, enemies-to-lovers romance and they’re in the studio now! THE WAY I HATE HIM will be released on August 1st in a live release on Audible!

Book Review: Business or Pleasure by Rachel Lynn Solomon

 


Chandler Cohen has never felt more like the ghost in "ghostwriter" until she attends a signing for a book she wrote—and the author doesn’t even recognize her. The evening turns more promising when she meets a charming man at the bar and immediately connects with him. But when all their sexual tension culminates in a spectacularly awkward hookup, she decides this is one night better off forgotten.

Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done. Her next project is ghostwriting a memoir for Finn Walsh, a C-list actor best known for playing a lovable nerd on a cult classic werewolf show who now makes a living appearing at fan conventions across the country. But Chandler knows him better from their one-night stand of hilarious mishaps.

Chandler’s determined to keep their partnership as professional as possible, but when she admits to Finn their night together wasn’t as mind-blowing as he thought it was, he’s distraught. He intrigues her enough that they strike a deal: when they’re not working on his book, Chandler will school Finn in the art of satisfaction. As they grow closer both in and out of the bedroom, they must figure out which is more important, business or pleasure—or if there's a way for them to have both.

Chandler is a ghost writer who feels that things are going pretty well until she attends a signing for a book she wrote and the “author” doesn’t even recognize her. Wallowing at a bar, she connects with a man there… but the night doesn’t end how she would like.

Her next ghost writing project is writing for an actor Finn Walsh… who also happens to be that awkward hookup she had the night before. Trying to get a feel for the book, Chandler goes with Finn to all his comic cons. Trying to keep things professional is harder than it seems, especially since Finn doesn’t seem to realize he was the problem in their failed hookup. Now he has a deal to make with Chandler: when not working on the book, she will “school” Finn in how to satisfy his partner.

I absolutely enjoyed their communication skills (which always seems to be the downfall of most MCs). I loved that as Finn started to realize that he may be the problem, he contacts all his exes to find out why they never lasted.

As they grow closer, the question remains - will Chandler and Finn figure out which is more important: Business or Pleasure? Perhaps there’s a compromise in there too.

Thanks to Netgalley and Berkley for the opportunity to read and review this. Can’t wait to see what Rachel Lynn Solomon comes out with next.

Blog Tour: His Queen by Bella J


There’s always a price to pay when you’re loved by a man like Nicoli Del Rossa.

His Queen, an all-new dark, forbidden, mafia romance and second book in the Dark Sovereign Underboss Series from International bestselling author Bella J is available now!
I knew loving him would be my downfall.

I just didn’t think it would happen so soon.

There’s always a price to pay when you’re loved by a man like Nicoli Del Rossa.

He’s my king. The captor of my heart.

But with the Dark Sovereign empire comes savage enemies thirsting for bloodshed, and when a mafia war is raging, buried secrets are brought to the surface.

While my husband does everything to protect me, I start to see the cracks in his truth. The lies, the deception, it begins to unfold, and I no longer know who I can trust.

But all it takes is one night apart.

One night of living in the dark.

One night…and I remember everything.

Now, I’m no longer the woman he married. I’m no longer his hummingbird with a white lace ribbon in her hair. Instead, I’m a shattered soul grappling with haunting recollections, and no one can save me.

Not even him.
Start reading today!
Vengeance.

Some say it’s cold. But me? I say it’s warm. Thick.

It’s like blood. It becomes you, and you become it.

Vengeance can easily become a reason for living. It can also be the death of those who refuse to let go of it. It may not be fair or kind, but it will find a way to prevail.

With my glare fixed on Nunzio, all I think about is how his family wronged my wife by murdering her parents, how they left two children orphaned, alone, and a four-year-old girl scarred for life because she watched her mother die.

My father was wrong not to retaliate while Tirelli blood was still fresh on Ferrero hands. We should have acted then. Our family should have done something then. If we had, the series of events that followed would never have happened. That fateful night when Mirabella was taken from me by a secret I vowed to keep would never have occurred if revenge had been taken against those responsible at the right fucking time.

It’s now several years later, and there is nothing I want to do more than shoot this motherfucker standing in front of me. I want the lead of my bullet to crack open his skull. I want to watch the blood ooze from the wound and seep through the asphalt of Club Myth’s parking lot. That way, I can walk by it every fucking day and be gloriously reminded of how I sent this asshole to hell.

If it weren’t for Mirabella standing behind me, her fingers pressed against my back, I’d probably do it. I’d shoot him, and I won’t give a shit if his wall of muscle takes me down after. I’d die a happy man knowing I’m going down to hell to watch Nunzio fucking Ferrero burn for eternity.

God, it was a stupid idea to bring Mirabella to Club Myth. I should have known better than to cave to pressure. However, with Alexius determined to have me and Mirabella front and center of this family while he and Leandra take a break from social engagements, he was all too eager for me to bring her here when she practically shouted from the top of the stairs that she wants to come to our family-owned sex club.

Now look where we are, in Myth’s parking lot and in the middle of a situation that has the potential to turn into a clusterfucked bloodbath.

“Not with her here,” Maximo warns, reminding me through the red haze that Mira is standing behind me. “Take her home. Now.”

Nunzio smirks. “I’d listen to your bodyguard here. This is no place for a beauty like her.”

“Fuck you, Ferrero,” I spit out. “Do not mistake me for my brother. Not only do I lack constraint, but I don’t give a fuck, either. I would gladly aim my gun at your throat and blow it out the back of your goddamn neck, right here, right now, without so much as blinking.”

“Right here, right now, you say?” He places his hands in his pants pockets, his calm and collected demeanor grating down my spine like a jagged-edged knife. “You’ll kill a man in cold blood in front of your wife?” He glances hungrily at Mira. “Who looks ravishing in that stunning lace dress. Red is definitely your color, sweet pea,” he says to Mirabella, and I swear to God his words inject me with a kind of rage that has the power to burn cities to the ground. But the way he smacks his lips together as if he can already taste her gets me. And with a growl, I pull out my gun and point the nuzzle at his forehead within zero-point-five fucking seconds—two breaths before Nunzio’s wolves have their pistols pointing at me.

“What are you going to do, Del Rossa? Kill an unarmed man right here on your club’s motherfucking doorstep?”

“Tempting.”

“What would your clientele think of that? The twin brother of the Del Rossa king killing one of his brother’s guests without provocation?”

“Provocation? You breathing is provocation enough.”

I’m biting my bottom lip, my finger starting to squeeze the trigger, when Alexius’car pulls up with a screeching halt, his headlights casting us in an ominous glow against the dark.

“Maximo, take your sister to the car. Now,” I order, and Mira’s fingers dig into my back before her curses start flying around as her brother hauls her back to the car.

“Nicoli!” My brother’s voice booms through the night as he leaps from his car. “Stop this shit right now!”

“No can do, brother.”

“Nicoli, put your goddamn gun away,” he demands.

Nunzio lifts a brow. “You should listen to your brother.”

“I don’t have to do shit. What I want to do is shoot you in the throat and watch it explode out the back of your neck.”

“Nicoli, in God’s name. You’re giving him what he wants.”

“If giving him a bullet to the brain is what he wants, I’ll gladly oblige.”

Nunzio merely smirks at me. The bastard isn’t fazed at all by having a gun pointed at his ugly motherfucking face. I wonder if his lips would still be eerily curled up at the edges when he’s dead.

Alexius walks right up, putting himself between Nunzio and me, but I don’t lower my weapon. His blue eyes shimmer like fucking rhinestones, and I’m tempted to call him a pussy for wanting to stop me from sending this Ferrero fucker to hell, but even I know name-calling won’t help the situation.

“Get out of my way, Alexius.”

“Lower you goddamn gun, man.”

“No,” Nunzio interrupts. “Please, keep it aimed at me until someone walks out of that club. I’d love to have a witness who can spread the word of your hostility toward a man who has offered nothing but peace between our families even after you killed his cousin.”

“Who attempted to rape my wife!”I clench my jaw, pressing down harder on the trigger. Just the thought of Felix’s brain splattered all over the fucking parking lot motivates me to not give a fuck what my brother says and just shoot this asshole.

“This is exactly what he wants, Nicoli. He wants you to fuck up so he’s no longer in our debt. Don’t you see that?”

“I don’t give a shit.”

“You should! You should give a shit because if you do something stupid here, every one of us will be caught up in this war, including her!” Alexius points over my shoulder at Mirabella, and it’s like ice gets dumped all over my fucking face. “Now, take your wife and go home. I’ll deal with this.”

I glare at my brother. “Fine,” I concede with a sneer and pull Mirabella closer, tucking her against me. “Just know that I don’t particularly like you right now, brother.”

“Why? Because you know I’m right?”

“Yes.” I spit out the word like it’s a razor blade. “And I really, really, reeeeeally want to kill this bastard.” I shoot Nunzio a warning stare, and the fucker simply smirks. But I see it. I see the disappointment in his eyes. Alexius is right. Nunzio wants us to fuck up so he no longer has to lick our asses.

“One day,” I mutter at him, a threat and a promise all rolled into one.

One day…I will kill that motherfucker.
