In this sizzling opposites-attract Regency romance by Charlie Lane, a lady of passion and an earl of logic commit to a fake courtship as rakish as it is daring.


Lady Edith knows the sting of unrequited love, and now she wants only one thing—to marry a man who desires her or to never marry. But at the Season’s end, her father threatens to provide a husband if she cannot secure one herself. When a family friend saves her from the unwanted advances of one of their suitors, she falls a little bit in love. With his auburn hair and radical ideas about women, Griffin Paxton, the Earl of Eastern, is perfect. Except he doesn’t want her back.

Griffin will not be distracted by Lady Edith’s diamond-eyed beauty. He needs a wife to fulfill his dying father’s wish, and he needs her to be a model of propriety to repair the family reputation his rakish father sullied. When Lady Edith calls herself a rake, he knows she’ll never do. He’ll have to guard his attraction to her fiery spirit and open heart behind thick ice walls and look elsewhere.

But when Edith suggests they forge a fake engagement to appease both their fathers, Griffin can’t refuse. She needs his help, and he never ignores a damsel in distress. Will a fake courtship bring out their rakish desires, or will it offer a home to two hurting hearts?

Officially, Charlie has a Ph.D. in literature with a focus on the nineteenth-century novel and children’s literature and answers to Professor.

New Release!

Rough Weather

Elemental Passions Book 2

By Lisabet Sarai

 

Paranormal Erotic Romance

15,700 words, 63 pages

Smashwords and Amazon KDP

ISBN (Smashwords): 9781005160470

ASIN: B09Y2P7741

Destiny hides in the tempest’s heart

 

A fated encounter. A familiar stranger. A storm of passion. Can Ondine release her fear, surrender to Marut’s power, and claim her own?  

 

Marine biologist Ondine Ambrose has always felt at home in the sea. Orphaned at birth and raised by her grandmother on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, she has never really questioned her extraordinary affinity for the watery world.

 

When she encounters an attractive but arrogant engineer on her private beach, surveying the site for a prospective off-shore wind farm, anger is her first reaction. A casual touch, however, transforms that emotion to incomprehensible, irresistible, terrifying lust.

 

Ebony-skinned Marut has his own talents—aside from his uncanny ability to swamp Ondine with desire. He can control the winds and summon storms. When he insists that they are both more than human, and that she is his destined mate, Ondine responds with skepticism. She tries to resist the charismatic Haitian, but ultimately she cannot deny the evidence of her senses—and her heart.

 

Note: This book was previously published by Totally Bound. It has been revised and re-edited for this release.

 Read the midweek teaser from new release, Rough Weather

“Wind is far less destructive than fossil fuels. You know that.”

The stranger cupped his tea mug in his big hands. Marut, he called himself. His handsome face wore an earnest expression, while his body was wrapped in her old terrycloth robe, the one she planned to donate to Goodwill. Meanwhile, Ondine herself wore a loose T-shirt and sweatpants that effectively hid her curves. No sense tempting fate.

She hadn’t intended to bring him here, but his clothing was soaked and, like her, he had bloody abrasions on his hands and knees from their fierce encounter on the rocks. So she’d led him over the dunes—careful not to touch him—to the weathered clapboard house she’d inherited from her grandmother. After giving him antiseptic and Band Aids, she’d left him alone in the downstairs bathroom to clean himself up and tend to his wounds. She certainly didn’t intend to play nurse to him, that was certain. She had no idea what had possessed her out on the beach, but she didn’t want to experience it again.

Not that it hadn’t felt wondrous. Indeed, every time she looked at him, she recalled the overwhelming hunger that had seized her. The memory of their frantic encounter unnerved her. The pleasure had been incredible. The loss of control, though, had been terrifying.

Ondine was no virgin, but she’d always been careful about sex. She was normally the one who chose the time and place. And after her mother’s tragic experience, she was unfailingly vigilant about contraception, all the more so because her body would tolerate neither the pill nor an IUD. As she showered off the grit, sweat and semen, she felt grateful that her interactions with Marut had not involved penetration. She didn’t normally carry condoms on a walk to the beach.

He was a stranger, possibly even an enemy. There was something unnatural about the intimacy they’d shared, so sudden and so potent. She would need to remain on her guard.

Rousing herself from her musings, she sipped her own tea and nibbled at one of her ginger snaps. “Of course. Oil, gas, coal—they’re bad news. But why not build your wind farm on dry land? You’d have a much smaller ecological impact.”

“Nobody wants a ninety meter steel tower in their backyard.”

“So you put it where there’s no one to object!”

“In many cases the winds are stronger and more reliable offshore too.”

“And that justifies the cost to wildlife?”

“Global warming’s a bigger threat to ocean life than any wind farm.” Marut’s abruptness suggested annoyance.

Smug satisfaction warmed her, though she recognized that reaction as childish. As a scientist, she was well aware that the tradeoffs and issues were complex. There was no simple answer to the problems facing humanity. Somehow, though, she couldn’t stop herself from baiting him.

“That’s a research question, I think.”

“Look.” He flashed a conciliatory smile that lit up his strong, even features. “Let’s call a truce. My company is in the preliminary stages of design, just studying feasibility and cost-effectiveness for different locations. The installation might turn out to be totally impractical.”

“I certainly hope so.”

OUT NOW—Safe and Sound (The Dreadnoughts Book Three) by Lucy Felthouse (@cw1985) #reverseharem #rh #rhromance #whychoose #ku #kindleunlimited #thriller #superheroes

 


Safe and Sound is the third and final book in The Dreadnoughts series. All three books are currently in Kindle Unlimited, but will be withdrawn in August, so if you’re a Kindle Unlimited subscriber, make sure you read the books sooner rather than later! I would hate for you to miss out.

 

Blurb:

Kim is within touching distance of her goal – but is it already too late?

Kim Medhurst, ex-British military intelligence officer turned scientist and climate activist, is in a race against time. With help from her four men, she’s researching how to make the ygrene – the mysterious power source she retrieved from a remote Scottish island – a viable alternative to fossil fuel. An unexpected visitor recently bought them a little extra breathing space, but they’re painfully aware it won’t last forever.

Despite their hard work, the whole thing looks set to crash down around their ears when the greedy megalomaniac they’ve been desperate to avoid shows up on the Greig twins’ doorstep. While Kim and the gang would happily lay down their lives to stop the ygrene getting into the wrong hands, Kim would prefer to steer clear of violence. Their latest visitor claims he only wants to talk, but he’s brought goons carrying hardware, and Kim wouldn’t be Kim without a backup plan.

Will good prevail against evil, or have all the gang’s efforts and sacrifices been for nothing?

Dakota is different from anyone I’ve ever known, and it’s not because of who her brother is. #MCromance Charming , Devil's Boneyard #newrelease @HarleyW_Writer

 


Harley Wylde visits and talks about her Writing Companions

Some authors have a cat who sleeps nearby while they work, or a dog who begs for attention throughout the day. While I have both, I don’t permit them in my office as a general rule. They’re too distracting.

I keep a cat bed in my office for special occasions. There are times my giant orange tabby, Tanto, is extra clingy. The moment my office door opens, he darts inside. If I toss him out, he comes right back the second the door opens again. I eventually give in and let him sleep in the kitty bed. But that’s a once every 4-6 weeks sort of thing.

And every time there are fireworks, Ramses sleeps on the floor under my desk at my feet. He’s a big 65 lb Norwegian Elkhound who turns into a giant baby during New Year’s and the 4th of July. Once the fireworks are over, he goes back out of my office.

So aside from those special circumstances, my office companions are my son’s cockatiel—Archimedes, and my day gecko—Flash.

The gecko is nice and quiet, although he is entertaining. Especially when he’s hunting crickets. Archimedes is another matter. He’s noisy when he wants attention—or the TV. Yes, he loves watching TV. In fact, he’s learned to whistle bits of Disney songs, and thanks to watching Frosty over the holidays, he now says “Happy Birthday” when I uncover his cage. Every. Single. Day. No more Frosty!

It's a good thing I don’t dictate my books. I’m scared of what he might learn!

Cover Art by Bryan Keller

Release Date: February 18, 2022

 

Dakota -- Having a half-brother who’s an infamous assassin isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. At twenty-five, he’s still micromanaging my life. The moment Specter tells me about an arranged marriage to one of his associates I do what any sane woman would… I run. Never counted on meeting a biker I can’t seem to forget, nor did I plan on our two days together to have lasting consequences. When bad men find me, there’s only one person I want. Charming. I’m just not certain I’ll get a warm reception.

 

Charming -- Dakota is different from anyone I’ve ever known, and it’s not because of who her brother is. It’s simply her. Some sixth sense keeps telling me she’s in trouble. When she calls and asks for help, I know I’ll do anything for her. The men after her have no idea she’s mine, or that she’s carrying my kid, but they will soon enough. I won’t rest until they’re six feet under.

 

WARNING: Charming is part of the Devil’s Boneyard MC series and can be read as a stand-alone. There’s a guaranteed happily-ever-after, no cliffhanger, and no cheating. This is an age-gap romance of more than twenty years with bad language, adult situations, and violence.

Read a teaser

“I’m sorry. I just hallucinated.” I glared at my phone before putting it on speaker. “Repeat that, please?”

My big brother sighed. “I’ve arranged a marriage for you. It’s a good match, Dakota. He’ll keep you safe. Take good care of you.”

“Did I fall into a wormhole? Accidentally time travel?”

“What?” he asked, sounding bewildered.

“Specter, you realize we’re not in the Middle Ages, right? You can’t marry me off to some guy sight unseen. The world doesn’t work that way anymore.”

“Technically…”

I growled and flipped off my phone, wishing he could see the gesture. “You listen well, big brother. I am not marrying some guy you’ve picked out for me. You can’t do this to me!”

“You’re my only weakness, Kota. It’s only a matter of time before you end up with a target on you. Do you have any idea what it would do to me if I lost you? Like I lost…” He went silent, and I knew he was thinking about his daughter. The one they’d tortured, raped, and murdered.

“I love you, Specter. You know I do. But I can’t live like this. I have a life! Friends. A job.”

“I’m sorry, Dakota. Someone will be there in a few hours to pick you up. You’ll meet your intended by morning and be married shortly after. I swear I would never pick someone who would hurt you. The guy is someone I trust.”

I screamed and ended the call, throwing my phone against the wall. I hated when he did shit like this! Usually, I went along with it, at least for a little while. Not happening this time. I wouldn’t marry some guy just because Specter wanted me to. Nope. Nope. Nope.

I started throwing my stuff into a bag. I eyed my busted phone and realized this was it. My only chance to escape. I packed as quickly as I could, loaded my car, and put my apartment key in the manager’s drop box. Then I got the hell out of town as fast as I could.

Excerpt

“Stop daydreaming, Dakota,” my boss barked from farther down the bar.

I gave him a salute, grabbed the pitcher of beer and mugs, then carried them over to one of my tables. The guys were obnoxious, with way too many grabby hands. I’d already tried moving away multiple times, but it did little good. They latched onto me just the same. Glaring didn’t help either. At one inch shy of being five feet tall, I wasn’t exactly intimidating. Not even to drunk guys who looked barely twenty-one. In fact, I’d wondered if their IDs were fake, but the boss had let them order alcohol.

Not my circus, not my monkeys. If the big guy wanted to get in trouble for serving minors, that was all on him.

“Can I get you anything else?” I asked.

“How about your number?” one of them asked, leering at me.

“Nah, we don’t need her number. Why don’t you give us a round of blowjobs?” All of them laughed. I knew the boss wouldn’t take kindly to me dumping a pitcher of beer over their heads, but it was tempting. My hand tightened on the handle as I slowly counted to ten silently, hoping to cool my temper.

Before I could even respond, a tall man with scruff along his jaw and a leather cut over his shoulders slammed the guy’s head into the table. “Apologize.”

I hadn’t even seen him! Where the hell had he come from? I glanced around and saw several people staring in our direction. The guy pinned to the table didn’t seem so tough now. I got a closer look at the man who’d come to my rescue.

My heart skipped a beat, and I wanted to check my chin for drool. Handsome men were a dime a dozen. Even big sexy ones. But something about this one checked all the boxes for me.

Devil’s Fury MC #11

MC Romance/Contemporary

Date Published: January 21, 2022

Publisher: Changeling Press, LLC



Minnie -- The Reckless Kings told me it was pointless to pine after Satyr. I kept offering myself to him, hoping he’d see me as something more. I was a fool. All that man will ever see when he looks at me is a club girl. I’ll always be trash in his eyes. So when the President offers me a chance at a new life, I grab on with both hands. It might mean living with yet another club -- the Devil’s Fury -- but once I meet Doolittle, my entire world turns upside down. I’d thought myself in love with Satyr, but I was so very wrong. Doesn’t matter. Same situation, different man. I might be starting my life over, but Doolittle knows what I am, what I’ve been… and he’ll never want someone like me as his old lady.

Doolittle -- Beast asked a favor and I gladly agreed. I have no problem with a woman who wants a fresh start. Before I even met Minnie, I’d offered to let her work at my clinic. I don’t know what I expected. But the stunning woman who shows up leaves me tripping over myself. I’ve never met anyone like her before, and the instant connection between us is startling. Just one problem. Well, three. The first is Meredith. The girl won’t take no for an answer and is determined I’ll be hers. The second is that Minnie feels unworthy of being mine. I’ll just have to prove her wrong. The third I never saw coming, and it just might change everything.

WARNING: Doolittle is part of the Devil’s Fury MC romance series and contains bad language, violence, and adult situations. You’ll also find entirely too many adorable animals, no cheating, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.




Excerpt

The gates to the Reckless Kings compound opened as I drove up. I stopped just inside the gate and leaned out to speak with the newest Prospect, Bronsen. “Can you tell me how to get the guest house? I’m supposed to meet with Doolittle.”

Bronsen hunkered down and braced his arms on the door of my small SUV. “Follow the road to the right. You can see Beast’s big ass house from here. Go past it and look for a gray Chevy Silverado. That’s what Doolittle drove here.”

“Thanks.”

He backed away and I followed his directions, finding the house easily enough. I parked next to the truck and checked my reflection in the mirror, making sure I didn’t have flyaway strands of hair sticking up every which way. Snapping the visor shut, I took a breath to steady my nerves, and got out.

My door had barely shut when two paws landed in the middle of my chest, and I was knocked off my feet. My ass met the concrete driveway and I winced, knowing it would bruise. The fluffy giant grinned a doggy smile at me. “Well, hello to you too. If that’s how you greet everyone, you may need obedience training.”

“Sorry about Goliath. He thinks he’s the size of a loaf of bread,” a deep voice said from nearby.

I craned my neck back and saw Doolittle standing on the porch. Even though I hadn’t met him before, he definitely wasn’t one of the Reckless Kings. Far as I knew, only one Devil’s Fury member had come to visit. “That’s a perfect name for him.”

I gave the giant floof a shove so I could stand up. Dusting off my pants, I approached the house, trying to get a better glimpse of my possible boss. I went up the steps and nearly tripped over my feet when my gaze met his. Holy hell! Beast wants me to work with this guy?

I stared, and then did the most embarrassing thing ever. I blurted out the first thing that popped into my head. “You’re gorgeous.”

My cheeks burned and my eyes widened. I could feel my heart racing and I wondered if it was too late to get back in the car and pretend this never happened. Doolittle chuckled and shoved his hands into his jean pockets.

“I’m always happy to accept compliments from beautiful women.”

My face like I’d spiked a fever of a million degrees. He thought I was beautiful? Sure, men had told me that plenty of times. Usually right before they tried getting in my pants. Doolittle only winked then tipped his head toward the front door.

“Why don’t we go in and discuss the job? I can go over the day-to-day details of what you’ll be doing, what it pays, and all that fun stuff. Then if you haven’t eaten dinner yet, maybe you can stick around and share some pizza with me. Although, I should warn you I placed the order right before you got here, so if supreme isn’t to your liking, you’re out of luck.”

A man denies his emotions to save the lives of others. A woman closes her heart to hide the pain. A child yearns for someone to trust.

 Former hitman Ben Hampshire gave up everything to keep his honorary mother Dana Canfield safe. Settled into a peaceful life on Providence Island, he’s found the woman of his dreams but can't make himself say "I love you".

 Stacy Andrews shunned long-term relationships until she met a man with a brain as sexy as his body. She's head over stiletto heels in love with him, but those words aren't in her vocabulary either. The secret she’s hiding might make Ben change his mind about their life together. If that’s not enough, her troubled eight-year old nephew coming to live with them could be the tipping point.

 Ben finds himself in the spotlight after two murders occur. The first to find both bodies, he’s holding back evidence that points toward Dana’s husband as the perpetrator. If he can't stop the killer, Ben's future may turn into a happy never after.

Stacy bounced on her toes as Ben used his new key. The lock disengaged with an easy click. He nudged the door open with one shoulder and swooped Stacy into his arms. She squealed at the unexpected gesture. He carried her into the apartment, shutting the door behind them with a tap of his heel.

“Welcome home.” She stroked her fingers through his hair.

He eased her to her feet, letting her body graze his on the path downward. Hands resting on her hips, he drew her closer, covering her mouth in a kiss that left her clutching his shoulders for support.

He lowered his brow onto hers. “I’m going to like living here.”

A hint of the insecurity that she’d locked away pushed its way free, and she eased away.

“We need to talk.” Stacy tugged him toward the sofa, ignoring the deep, dramatic groan that came along with him. Once they were seated, she scooted several inches away to keep his attention on the conversation. “Before we go any further, are you sure about this?”

Her heart thumped as Ben hesitated. A frown creased his brow as he stared at the key in his hand, then back to her. “I’m sure about us. As for the timing, Maisie told me yesterday that she’s closing the B&B and selling the house.”

Her stomach dropped, and a rush of heat soared through her at the casual announcement. “That’s why you asked about moving in?”

“No, that why I asked now. I could have found other options, but those were secondary compared to being with you.”

Stacy gave a mental shake of her head. Only Ben could make words like “options” and “secondary” seem romantic. She scooted a few inches away. One touch from his hand, and she’d be the one dragging them into the bedroom.

“I want this to work so we need to have a serious discussion.”

“I want this arrangement to work too.” Ben slid across the cushion, removing any and all space between them. Resting one arm along the back of the sofa, he toyed with a lock of her hair. “Anything else, we can discuss when the matter arises.”

She shot a glare that had no impact on his behavior. “Fine. Let’s start now with money.”

Ben grunted and removed his arm. “Fine. I’ll cover the expenses if that’ll ease your mind.”

“Absolutely not. I’m not going to be a kept woman, and you need to keep enough of your money to buy me pretty things and take me fun places.” She lifted her arm to show off the diamond bracelet he’d given her for her birthday and flashed an impish smile.

Ben laughed. “I’m sensing a conflict in that logic so let’s table that subject for now. Speaking of table, what about meals? We still have those cooking lessons available at Paige’s restaurant. I installed a point-of-sale system and staff training in exchange for those.”

Stacy sniffed. “That was a poor business decision.”

“Apparently so.”

“This is harder than I thought. Let’s go back to your idea of talking things out when needed.”

“Excellent idea… with one exception.” He leaned closer. “It could be a deal breaker.”

Her breathing slowed, and her eyes widened. She swallowed, then asked, “What?”

“I want closet space.”

She thought for a moment, then shook her head. “Let’s discuss those cooking classes.”

“Uh-uh. Closet.”

She traced a finger across his chest. “Since I have the rest of the day off, let’s celebrate moving in together. We can have a lazy afternoon then go out to dinner?”

His lips twitched, a sign he was holding back a laugh. “By lazy, you mean…?”

“My mistake. I should have said energetic.”

“A good thing I keep a change of clothes here.”

Her humor faded as she remembered her promise to be less self-centered. So much for a new attitude. “Ben, we can go get your things—”

“Nope. We both have a free afternoon. Let’s take advantage of it. We’re halfway living together anyway. Let’s not overthink things. I want to be with you. I want to be here with you.”

She pressed against him, removing that breath of space. “I want you here too.”

“Besides, by the time this afternoon is over, you’ll be begging me to take some of that closet space.”

Stacy swiveled to her feet, a smooth seductive move that ignited a gleam in Ben’s eyes. She glanced over her shoulder and crooked a finger for him to follow.

“Challenge accepted.”
