GEM: a privately-funded organization operating independently in the search for—and the rescue and recovery of—missing and exploited children. Although, at times working in conjunction with law enforcement, GEM aims to ensure the victims receive justice…by whatever means necessary.

____

Operator Pearl; layered, mysterious, a protector.

She masks as delicate, analyzes, and moves stealthily.

Hot on the trail of a young accomplice in a child exploitation ring, Pearl finds herself posing as a teenager to get close. Unfortunately, joining a group of kids on a wilderness quest means stepping out of her comfort zone and into uncertainty. But with the target in her sights her focus stays razor-sharp.

The last thing she needs is the dogged journalist who’s been close on her heels catching up and rattling her cage. When he inserts himself into her investigation, she has no choice but to go along.

Thrown together in a mutual pursuit of justice, the negative energy between them sparks up in a new way.

Release Blitz: Heartless Beloved by Lola King

Look at you. So desperate to be mine.


Heartless Beloved by Lola King is now live! 


I'm from a place where you eat or get eaten. Two gangs are at war, and I'm hungry for survival.

Growing up in a broken town doesn't make you a good man. In fact, the North Shore of the Falls has made me merciless.
I survive because I'm a good soldier for the North Shore Crew. I'm cool-headed, I never lose sight of my goals, and my only obsession is to wrench our town from the clutches of our sworn enemies, the Kings.

Alexandra Delacroix is just a job. Plain and simple. She lives in our neighboring town, in the millionaires' heaven they call Stoneview.
The plan is straightforward: charm her, uncover incriminating information about her senator father, and tip the balance of power in our favor.

But unlike the other rich girls from Stoneview I use as toys, Alexandra is kind, selfless... sweet. Sickeningly so. A bright pink cupcake with glitter and sprinkles on the icing. That kind of sweet.

We have nothing in common. Nothing but the secrets we keep.

And before I know it, my priorities change.

Before I know it... Alexandra Delacroix is my new obsession.

   I might be a cowboy, but I’m no gentleman.   Ten years ago I crossed the line with my younger brother’s best friend. I knew she was in love with me, and I couldn’t resist her. River Adams gave me her innocence on her eighteenth birthday. I broke her in return and made her hate me. I thought walking away from her would be easy, but I never expected to come face to face with everything I gave up.   Thanks to a stipulation in my dad’s will, she’s back and we have to live together.   Me. Her. My brother Walker, who has carried a torch for her since they were kids. And, how could I forget, Bishop? The ranch hand who can’t keep his eyes off her.   The years between us may not matter anymore, but the secrets and lies always will. My family has blood on its hands, no one more so than me. If she finds out the truth about Twisted Cross Ranch she’ll never forgive me.   I was born to be the villain, but when she looks at me, I wish I could be her hero.   For fans of Yellowstone, USA Today Bestselling Authors K. Loraine & Meg Anne bring you a new dark cowboy mafia why-choose series. Red-hot, gritty, suspenseful, and loaded with angst, Twisted Cross Ranch is the escape you didn’t know you needed. Hang on tight, darlin’, these ain’t your mama’s cowboys.   Please check the authors’ website for a full list of content and trigger warnings.      

  K. Loraine   Kim writes steamy contemporary and sexy paranormal romance. You’ll find her paranormal romances written under the name K. Loraine and her contemporaries as Kim Loraine. Don’t worry, you’ll get the same level of swoon-worthy heroes, sassy heroines, and an eventual HEA.   When not writing, she’s busy herding cats (raising kids), trying to keep her house sort of clean, and dreaming up ways for fictional couples to meet. 



Meg Anne   USA Today and International bestselling paranormal and fantasy romance author Meg Anne has always had stories running on a loop in her head.

The stories have always been there; they were just waiting for her to tell them. Like any true SoCal native, Meg enjoys staying inside curled up with a good book and her cat, Henry...or maybe that's just her... You can convince her to buy just about anything if it's covered in glitter or rhinestones, or make her laugh by sharing your favorite bad joke. She also accepts bribes in the form of baked goods and Mexican food. Meg is best known for her leading men #MenbyMeg, her inevitable cliffhangers, and making her readers laugh out loud, which all started with the bestselling Chosen series.

Teaser Reveal: Bone Collector by Onley James

BONE COLLECTOR by Onley James is the first book in her new series, The Watch! We’re so excited to share the upcoming release–pre-order your copy today! 
Title: Bone Collector 
Series: The Watch 
Author: Onley James 
Genre: Dark MM Romance 
Release Date: September 12th 
Park Chen has spent most of his life as a killer—a deadly, deep cover operative known as the Bone Collector. Now, he’s been benched. Reassigned as an instructor at Project Watchtower, he’s tasked with training a school of psychopathic assassins while trying to keep a promise to his friends.

Gift Ayutthaya isn’t treated like a gift at all. If anything, his parents treat him as a burden, though a spoiled one. After an attempt on his life, they pass that burden onto someone else. Park. The man Gift’s been fantasizing about for years. A man who sees him as an adorable but incompetent distraction.

It’s no secret that Gift doesn’t belong at the Watch, but Park’s made a vow to keep him safe. Gift has made a vow, too. He’s going to use every weapon in his arsenal to find a way to seduce Park and make him love him, once and for all. Or die trying.

Loving Gift was never the issue—Park’s already there. But assignments at the Watch aren’t optional. To stay, Gift has to prove himself, something Park just can’t allow. Can Gift get Park to see that, when it comes to murder, Gift is aptly named? Or will he be relegated to the sidelines in both school and in love?

The Bone Collector is an action packed, smoking hot, age gap romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features a rule-following assassin turned reluctant teacher of psychopaths and an adorable, off-limits, fumbling student who just can’t seem to stay away from each other. Prepare yourself for gratuitous violence, very dark humor, more blood than an ‘80s horror movie, and enough heat to fog up a window factory. This is book one in the The Watch series. Each book follows a different couple.
 
Onley James lives in Central Florida with her daughter, her daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and a menagerie of animals, both good and evil. James splits her time between writing m/m romance and mainlining dangerous levels of caffeine and attempting to maintain her ever-slipping sanity. When not at her desk you can find her whining about how much writing she has to do and avoiding said writing by binge-watching unhealthy amounts of television. She loves true crime documentaries, anti-heroes, obsessively scrolling social media and writing kinky, snarky books about morally gray men who fall in love with other men.

Two Hearts. One Curse.

 

Once upon a time, in anger and desperation, a witch cursed Fate. It was not without consequence…

 

“Some things once damaged, cannot be made whole again. I fear I am one of those

things.”

 

Cursed at birth, Mirren has grown up watching her loved ones suffer with worry,

wondering when Death will come for her. Just as she begins to stretch her wings and

seek out the future she never thought she’d have by accepting the honor of becoming

Cauldron City’s emissary to the Kingdom of Nautilus, the curse takes root and her

heart begins to falter… 

 

In a moment of righteous fury, Mirren binds Fate into human flesh so that he will feel

what it is to live and love and have it all ripped away. To know pain so deep, nothing

and no one can ease it. 

 

She assumes her magic, like her heart, is too weak to do as she commands until the

night Fate finds her, rage simmering in his dark eyes as he demands she break her

spell. He claims he never knew she existed, proposing that someone or something hid

her from his sight, then vows to uncover who is truly responsible for her misery and

make them pay for every second. In return, all she must do is unbind him.  

 

If only she knew how…  If only her heart wasn’t failing…

 

Their futures are uncertain, their presents interwoven. When Mirren tries to break the

binding curse, she nearly dies, and Fate without his full power is unable to heal her.

He must find a way to keep her heart beating, and she must find a way to break the spell. Not all curses die with their makers; some become eternal. The repercussions,

should Fate be forever bound, are unspeakable.


Casey Bond lives on a rural farm in West Virginia with her husband and their two beautiful daughters. She writes phoenixes – gloriously flawed and morally gray characters that fiercely rise from the ashes of their circumstances. World building is one of her favorite hobbies, along with stamping metal jewelry, swimming, and enjoying the beauty of nature. She thinks thunderstorms are better than coffee and that watching a meteor shower is the closest thing to magic you might ever see. She’s a firm believer that every amazing book needs a world you want to wrap yourself in, a character you want to win, and a love you would fight for.

Casey is the award-winning author of When Wishes Bleed, Gravebriar, and House of Eclipses.

Cover Reveal: The Cruel Dark by Bea Northwick

The Cruel Dark
Bea Northwick
Publication date: October 31st 2023
Genres: Adult, Gothic, Romance

Millicent Foxboro is haunted.

Not by ghosts, but by the anguish of her past and the uncertainty of her future. After all, even in the progressive year of 1928, most people would balk at hiring a woman who’d spent two months in a mental ward for traumatic amnesia. So when an uncommon assistantship to a reclusive Professor of mythology falls into her lap with an ungodly salary attached, her desperation for stability overrides her cautious nature.

To Millie’s dismay, the widowed Professor Callum Hughes and his estate, Willowfield, are more than she bargained for. The once magnificent home, known for its sprawling gardens and dazzling parties, is falling to pieces after the death of the professor’s fragile wife. What’s more, the staff has been reduced to the only three people not frightened away by rumors of ghosts, leaving the halls empty and languishing in bitter memories.

The professor himself is a grim, intense man with unclear expectations, unpredictable moods, and hungry eyes that ignite Millie’s own dormant passions. The closer she finds herself drawn to Professor Hughes and his strange world of flowers and folklore, the more the house closes in, threatening to reveal her secrets. But the professor is keeping secrets of his own, and the most dangerous of all is hers to discover.
