Release Boost: Stroke: A Unique Collaboration of 24 Best Selling Authors

 




Title: Stroke: An Enemies to Lovers,
Billionaire Office Romance 
Collaboration from Twenty Four Authors
Genre: Contemporary Office Romance
Release Date: November 10, 2021





Two sexy, powerful brothers want me.
One is a perfect gentleman.
The other is rude, arrogant, and hates me.
Or does he?

MIA

Landing an interview with Stroke Magazine is a dream come true. That is until Trak Cohen, the co-owner of Stroke, boots me from the interview before it begins. He is an egotistical playboy, and I dodged a bullet. Then the unexpected: I receive a call from his brother, Trent, and I can’t turn down the position he is offering.

If only his drop-dead gorgeous brother would stop distracting me.

I will not become another notch in his belt.

TRAK

Being the co-owner of a popular magazine comes with its own set of perks, including an endless supply of beautiful women at my beck and call. Except for Mia, who was hired by my brother behind my back. I don’t like her attitude or the way I can’t get rid of her. Worse yet, all of that makes her more intriguing. We can’t stand each other, but we’re stuck with the situation for now.

I’ve almost convinced myself that I care nothing about her, but when Trent goes after Mia, I want nothing more than to steal her heart for myself.

I will win in the end.

“Thanks! See nothing to worry about Mia.” I took her hand to make sure she gets out of her seat. She grabbed the cup that was next to her on the desk with her free hand as I said. “Gentleman, you can just tell Mr. Cohen that Mia’s roommate’s granny busted a hip line dancing or bungee jumping or something.”
I watched as Mia’s cheeks flushed with a dark pink.
“You knew?”
“Of course, I knew.” I said with a prideful grin.
I escorted her through the underground parking lot and opened the passenger door of my Toyota Landcruiser.
This, is your car?” she asked incredulous.
“You were expecting something else?” After unlocking the vehicle, I held the passenger door open for her.
“Yes. A big pretentious, bright yellow hummer perhaps?”
“Are you disappointed?”
“No. Only surprised.” Her brow knitted with concern. “I didn’t think we were going off site. If Trent checks on me…”
“Here we go again with this.” I have to work to keep the snark out of my voice. “What makes you think he holds any weight with me?”
“I don’t know what weight he holds with you, but he’s still my boss.”
“I’m your boss.”
“You hate me.”
“I don’t hate you.”
“You’ve said it, you’d rather have my best friend as an assistant.” She reminded me of the rude words I spoke before.
I’m disgusted with my actions towards her.
“That’s not exactly accurate.” I held open the passenger door for her.
“Trent hired me.” Her voice quaked. “He can fire me.”
“Mia…”
“Honestly, Trak the only reason I even still have a job is because of Trent. If you recall, you sent me packing over perfume.”
“MIA!”
“WHAT?!”
“Would you just get in the vehicle?” Making my eyes gentle, I added. “Please.”
Surprise flashed over her face before she huffed at me. But she sat her cute ass on the passenger seat anyway.
As we took off through Manhattan, and I finally had her alone next to me, I felt myself loosen up.
Furious, she stared out the window. “What was I thinking, getting into this car with you?”
“God, you’re gorgeous when you’re angry.”
I meant it, but of course the comment only infuriated her more, inciting vehement wrath.
“What the… WHAT?!” she shouted. “Pull over and let me out of this car right now Trak!”
Her eyes we’re positively on fire. I could do this all day. I maneuvered the vehicle to the side of the road.
“But I haven’t shown you the something yet.”
“I can only imagine what that something is.” She quips.
“Mia, I don’t want to be enemies.”
“You drew those lines, Trak. From the moment we met, first when you stole my taxi, then when you treated me so appallingly at my interview. At the office. On sites. Shall I go on?”
“I did all of that. Could you… would you… give me a second chance?”
“What makes you think you deserve one. You’re hardly even a friend.”
“Mia…”
“You can’t even say it!” She was so hurt. All because of my behavior. I wished I could make her understand.
“I’m sorry. I was completely wrong to have ever treated you that way. I have been a first-rate ass. Please forgive me.”
I couldn’t take it anymore. Leaning towards her, I gently cradled the back of her head in my hand. Her chestnut hair was like silk against my palm and fingers.
Risking her right hook—or the probability of her clawing her nails across my face—I brought her soft, pink lips closer.
Her gaze lifted to mine, her dark, thick lashes framing her ocean blue eyes. The storm in them still raging.
“Please.” My voice was all but a whisper as I pressed my lips against hers.
Her mouth tasted of the chai tea she had been sipping, cinnamon spice and clove. My eyes fell closed as I leaned into her.
Mia stiffened, but only for a moment, before she melted into the embrace.
Her sweet lips were soft and warm. The kiss was tentative at first like we
were testing each other.
Tasting each other.
And Mia tasted like perfection.

Blog Tour: Sutton's Choice by CA Harms

 


Sutton's Choice by CA Harms is LIVE!


First impressions can either be a kiss of death, or seal your fate.
You either click or clash, soar or fall.
Or in my case they could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Problems arrive when the other party wants more.
That can, and did lead to a very messy situation.
One I was not prepared for, I was oblivious to what people around could see.
Maybe I was blinded by the comfortable state Bennett and I had fallen into.
Or maybe I chose to ignore the signs.
All I did know for sure was that I was the girl in love with the new guy...
OR other guy…






C.A. Harms is an avid romance and mystery reader. She's always had a love for books, getting lost in writing and storytelling even as a young girl. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories. 

She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. She holds an addiction for Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha’s and KitKat when she should really be focusing on water and maybe a fruit or two to make herself feel less guilty, but that feeling quickly passes...thankfully. 

She is easy going, fun, and although she may seem like one of the quiet ones at first, you just wait until she gets to know you better...that quietness changes, fast.

This Winslow Brother better buckle up—he has no idea what's coming.

I really enjoyed this story.

Flynn Winslow is in Vegas with his three brothers for a bachelor party weekend. Flynn is the sensible, responsible, quiet type. So when a girl acting lively and seemingly his total opposite… Flynn takes notice.

Daisy Diaz has just found out her work visa has expired and feels lost and in need of rescuing. Running from the hotel she sees a man on a motorcycle and hops on the back.

Level-headed Flynn decides to marry Daisy on a whim, long enough to get through the process and pass their interview with immigration. But the more time they spend together the more they start to have feelings for one another.



So can they pass their interview? And will they last longer than the immigration process? One-click to find out now.


What a fun story! And oh, Flynn... he is just as dreamy and swoon-worthy as the other men in the Winslow family. And Daisy? Well, she is the awkward, perfect, opposite match to him.

From the moment they meet to the very end of their story, you will root for them, laugh with them, and cheer with them. These two complement each other in this story that is right up there with my other favorite Max Monroe stories.

You need to one-click this one so you can enjoy all these two have to offer (the authors and the characters).

Flynn

“Oh my gosh! I’m sorry!” A female voice grabs my attention, and I glance toward the entrance doors of the Wynn to find a blur of wild curls running like a banshee. She bumps into several people trying to get outside, and more apologies blurt from her lips as she almost takes out an older gentleman wearing a cowboy hat.

The man is none too pleased, but his annoyance doesn’t stop her. Out onto the pavement of the driveway, she stumbles a bit on her sky-high heels as she continues her fast-track path to who knows where.

She comes to a halting stop in the center of the entrance driveway, in the middle of cars and only a few feet from my bike, and looks around maniacally with her big green eyes.

What is she doing?

Her breaths come out in harsh pants, and she chaotically brushes pieces of her wild mane of curls out of her face.

“You okay?” I find myself asking, and she snaps her eyes toward mine.

She stares at me like I just asked her to solve an advanced calculus problem, and I lift the visor up on my helmet to repeat my question. “You okay?”

She shakes her head and digs her teeth into the meat of her full, red-painted lips. But just as she opens her mouth to respond, a man in a well-fitted suit comes bursting out of the entrance doors, yelling, “Daisy!”

The beautiful but possibly insane woman shuts her eyes on a heavy sigh, and by the sag in her shoulders and frown on her lips, I have a feeling she’s the Daisy he’s calling for.

“Daisy! Honey! Wait up!”

“Fuck,” she mutters, and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out Crazy Daisy wants nothing to do with this guy.

Maybe he’s the reason for her abrupt departure and reckless sprint out of the casino?

This guy could be her boyfriend. Fiancé. Husband. I don’t fucking know what. But whoever he is, she wants distance. That much is apparent.

And even though I’m supposed to meet my brothers at one of the Wynn’s bars in about ten minutes, the urge to help her is too strong to ignore.

It’s a rare thing for a guy like me, to be honest. I don’t meddle in other people’s shit, but the panicked look on her face makes me want to give her the escape she needs.

But before I know it, before I can even offer the help, she takes it for herself.

Release Blitz: Beard in Hiding by Penny Reid

 

Beard in Hiding, an all-new companion novel to the bestselling Winston Brothers and Solving for Pies series is LIVE! Penny Reid delivers a heartfelt romantic comedy about two lost souls who find love in the most unexpected way.  

Propositioning the Iron Wraiths’ money man seemed like a good idea at the time…

Diane Donner—recently divorced pillar of polite society—is craving danger. She’s tired of playing it safe and she knows just the sexy criminal motorcycle man to proposition for a good time. Problem is, she doesn’t actually know his name.

Jason “Repo” Doe never takes risks. So when the queen of local commerce walks into his club, looking to get risky and frisky, Jason knows the smartest thing to do is save himself a headache while saving the new divorcee from her worst impulses.

But then one thing leads to another, and the memory of just-one-night doesn’t feel like enough.

Theirs is a story with no future, because how can a dangerous criminal win (and keep) a queen?

‘Beard In Hiding’ is book #4.5 in the Winston Brothers series, is a full length contemporary romantic comedy about two lost souls in their 40s, and is a companion novel to the Winston Brothers and Solving for Pie series.

If you want to get the full immersive Green Valley world experience, I recommend reading ‘Truth or Beard,’ ‘Beard Science,’ ‘Engagement and Espionage,’ and ‘Marriage and Murder’ beforehand. ‘Beard In Hiding’ contains spoilers for these four books (in specific).

Release Blitz: Kingdom Come by Aleatha Romig

 

Release Date: November 16


They say the price of freedom is learning that you have nothing left to lose.

There was a time when I had it all. Money. Power. Love. And in the blink of an eye, it was gone.

Along the road to my new life, I have a chance meeting with Cecilia Abernathy. Born to greatness, this American princess is out of my league. That doesn’t mean I don’t see her for the woman she is behind the headlines. In a rare glimpse I see not only her outward beauty but her inner determination. I’m moved by her in ways I don’t allow myself to ponder.

Time passes and I’m moving forward, persevering beyond my loss, and making a new name for myself. And then I’m given an assignment.

One job.
One quest.

If I succeed, my kingdom will be at hand.
If I fail, there will be no more chances.

Men like me aren’t saviors, and that isn’t my assignment. My mission is to find the daughter of one of the most powerful men in New York, in the country, and maybe the world. Find her and deliver her to her family’s rival.

Cecilia Abernathy has been kidnapped. All I have to do is exchange her current hell for another. And then I can walk away and claim my reward.

Has my taste of freedom made me willing to sell my soul for a kingdom?

Find out the answer in KINGDOM COME, a dangerous forced-proximity stand-alone romance by New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig. 

Grab Your Copy Here!

Aleatha Romig is simply unputdownable.

Kingdom Come is an edge of your seat, fast paced, suspenseful thriller, with lots of smolder and steam.

Greyson Ingalls feels like a familiar character with a shaded past. He reminds Cecelia that he is not the man that she thinks he is…. He isn’t, Greyson is more. He’s wonderfully complex, yet simple in his desires and intentions.

Cecelia Abernathy has her world rocked. While she feels small and weak in one singular moment, she is strong and fiercely independent. She is trying to be squashed in her endeavors but she refuses to back down.

The twist and turns are ones I never saw coming. While this story is complete, I fell in love with these characters and would love to read their story until the end of time. Like I said, this book was superb and I would highly recommend it – as well as any book Aleatha Romig has writer. One-click this now.
Wow! This story caused me to lose sleep, but I'm not complaining. Captivating, twisted, sensual chemistry, and unpredictable. This one kept me up for hours and took up many minutes in my mind throughout the day(s) when I finished reading. The characters, each with their own backstory, had roles that kept the story moving and engaging. The plot had so many twists and turns that I was kept on edge guessing and re-guessing as I read. The scenes played out like a movie in my mind. Ms. Romig knows her audience and knows them well, and delivers a thirst-quencher with this one. She has written one book that is staying on my read-again shelf.
