Carter

I've worked hard my entire life to be the person that everyone expects me to be, the perfect son and the perfect little Catholic, bound by the rules and expectations of others. But underneath those masks I crave someone I can never have, a relationship that goes against God’s law, and the freedom to live the way I want.

After years of shoving my feelings down, I’ve finally gotten to a place where I don't even consider them any longer.

Until the night he showed up and ruined everything.

My stepbrother, Leo Caparucci, is the opposite, a walking nightmare, a spoiled, self-centered, openly bisexual mafia prince who couldn’t care less about others, and he just became my biggest problem...

Leo

I shouldn’t even be here.

The plan was always for me to be named the next Don of my family, but somehow I ended up on my dad’s cattle ranch in the middle of nowhere, stuck with my bratty stepbrother.

Carter Montagna is hot as hell, smart and self-confident…well, at least that’s the image he tries to project, but I see right through his perfect cowboy persona. Underneath the façade there’s a man starved for affection, too concerned with pleasing others to act on his own desires.

But there’s more beneath the surface, and if anyone is gonna crack that mask he's wearing—it's gonna be me.

Hi, I’m Cali!

I live in a very sunny state with my amazing husband and daughters, and I enjoy making people smile. I try to bring a little bit of my Cali sunshine and energy wherever I go. I believe that love is for everyone and I've found my newest passion in writing. I absolutely love writing - I'm having so much fun! Other hobbies include watching Anime, reading Manga, baking, and I’m an avid gamer in all forms: console, tabletop, strategy card games…Magic the Gathering is probably my favorite strategy card game. Console wise - I couldn't begin to choose a favorite :)

Me and my bestie, who is also my editor and Co-Owner of the publishing house, have a super fun Podcast called "Cali and Craig Talk..."    We're usually talking about books, butts, or bundt cakes... We don't take things too seriously. We have a ton of episodes with other authors, and lots of great advice for new writers, along with inside looks at what it's like at the publishing house. We have a bunch of fun baking episodes, too. You can hear us on all major podcast networks.

Release Blitz: Carnal Wagers by Addy Anders

 

Carnal Wagers by Addy Anders is now live!

A woman once bedded by an O’Leary man was likely to live.
Twice was a toss-up.
Three times or more, that was a death sentence.

What’s a mafia man to do when his family is plagued by a serial killer?

Cillian O’Leary has sworn off all women, even the arranged wife he married for money, then promptly abandoned a continent away, but Alizé De Villier has never been the type to wallow in her misfortune.
She wants the elusive once-in-a-lifetime love. After years of his complete avoidance and cold-blooded nonchalance an ocean away, she knows her husband isn’t the one. That means divorce is her best chance. If only the greedy mob boss wasn’t refusing to sign the paperwork.
Six months, she wagers. Within six months, she’ll seduce her husband into obtaining exactly what she wants.
Divorce or love. One comes with a side of ruin, the other a bloody end.

The time is now; the city is LA. The hunt for a magical killer has begun.

Sah has gone through a lot in three years. I mean how often does a person find out their sister disappeared, meet a hot detective, get bitten by a werewolf, and discover they are part of a legacy of shape shifters? She thought her life would calm down and she could enjoy a summer vacation in LA. But now she is mixed up with the Fae and a magical serial killer. To survive she must find new allies and embrace her new self without reservation.

There are real monsters in the world. I know because I am one of them. After three years, I was still trying to get my head around that fact, even though I was getting ready to attend a convention full of them. The Menagerie, as they called themselves, were a group of shapeshifters who hid from the world. Still, since their discovery was always a dangerous possibility, they had created an entire intellectual property called the Façade to coax people into their world. It started as a game, and with my introduction, they had added novels to the mix. Now, I was traveling to California to try to sell my recent bestseller to a movie studio. I wondered if Dominique would ever forgive me if a werewolf novel of mine made it to the Cineplex before she did.

She didn’t speak up. She was the main character in my first book series and the voice in my head when I was doing something I knew, in most plots, would end with me dead. We had had a really good run, and her adventures had brought me my first real success, but after most of the changes I had gone through, I had started a new urban fantasy series. It was almost autobiographical, not that anyone would ever believe it.

I mean how often does a person find out their sister disappeared, meet a hot detective, get bitten by a werewolf, find said sister, lose said sister and hot (now maybe new girlfriend?) detective, and blackmail an entire group of supernatural entities to get the pair of them back. Not to mention discover you are part of a legacy of shapeshifters and can now channel a snow leopard totem. And finish up by trying try to live happily ever after only to have to engage in a death match with a psychopathic grudge-bearing werewolf leader.

It was hard for me to believe, and I had lived through it—even if just barely. I took a deep breath and told myself to get out of bed. I don’t know why I was so focused on my past today when the future seemed so promising.

It was probably because Val was out of the house. This was the first big trip I was going to make without her, and I missed her. She was one of the only people I had ever met who accepted me for being the giant pansexual polyamorous mess of a partner I was. I looked in the closet, trying to decide on a dress to pack in my luggage. I was much more comfortable in jeans and a band T-shirt than I was in Chanel, no matter what my budget told me I could afford. I needed something more formal if I was going to meet with a movie producer. Great, now I was beginning to miss my sister Nisha. She was the clothes horse of the family and would not only have brought me six of her dresses but also tried to do my hair and makeup before I left. She was out in Montana with a pack of werewolves. My life was not the only one that had changed a lot in the last couple of years.

Kathryne Lentes has been writing stories as long as she could hold a pen in her hand. She is a transwoman who, when not working on her own projects, operates Paper Phoenix Ink, a blog showcasing queer creators. She is currently living in Saint Louis with her wife, two cats, and a pile of science fiction and fantasy books.

Release Blitz: Promise of Punishment by Tara Gallina

 

PROMISE OF PUNISHMENT

Tara Gallina

Release Date: September 16

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

He's the memory that burns like poison. She's the obsession that devours his control.

Fable
They say angels only exist in heaven.
They’re wrong. Some are born into hell and learn to survive.

I was seventeen when I saved a beautiful stranger from dying in an abandoned garden. He promised to kill the villain in my nightmares. Instead, he shattered my life.

At twenty-three, I’m still running from the evil in my past, and the stranger who betrayed me. He’s back. Colder, and in a position to destroy me again.

I hide in a gilded mansion where elites play, falling for a masked man who makes my body come alive.

But some prisoners earn favors.
And some saviors keep deadly promises.

Wes
They say monsters are made, not born.
They’re right.

Cruelty came from my father. Survival came from the girl who healed me when I was meant to die. She was a glimmer in the darkness, then she betrayed me. Or so I was told.

Now she’s standing in front of me, a grown woman with haunted eyes and a hatred for me I don’t understand.

She doesn’t know I’m the man behind the mask, bringing her desires to life. She doesn’t know I own her world.

I was once saved by an angel, and I failed her. This time, I’ll keep my promise and reveal who I truly am.
Even if it makes her hate me more.

Tara Gallina writes across various romance genres, from new adult and college to small town and fantasy. While most of her books are steamy, she's also penned a few sweeter titles.

Her stories blend angst, tormented heroes, a hint of humor, and the occasional tear. Many of her books come alive through settings inspired by her travels.

When she's not writing, she loves to visit gardens, New England in the fall, European castles, and Caribbean beaches. She has a fairy garden, a Lady Lair for writing, favors the color pink, and only drinks wine that tastes like melted sugar.

She lives in the Sunshine State with her husband, where she raised her two sons who are now adults. Her writing journey began in 2014 when she signed with a literary agent for a young adult retelling. Since then, she's moved on to publishing steamy romances and hasn't looked back.
