Title: Slow Dancing
Author: Stylo Fantome
Release Date: February 21, 2020
Genre: Contemporary Romance

A rising pop star who can’t let go of her emotional baggage, and a cocky dance partner who doesn’t know what monogamy is.

She’s inhibited.

He’s free-spirited.

She doesn’t want a relationship.

He doesn’t believe in them.

She can’t believe that anyone would love her.

He can’t seem to stop himself from loving her.

When their differences collide and sparks start to fly, he’s sure it’s the start of something amazing.

And she’s sure it’s the end of her career.

Who will be right?

I love this cover! It’s so pretty! And I cannot wait to read this book – that blurb has me hooked.

Ready for a taste of more?

Woods’s voice was suddenly behind her, startling her.

“Why do you always sneak up on me?” she demanded, not able to keep the grin from her face. He beckoned her with one finger, and she swayed into him, her body moving to the music. Closed her eyes as she remembered their dance from the beach.

“Because I like to see you blush,” he replied, one arm coiling around her waist as he moved in rhythm with her.

“Mean man, that’s not very nice,” she laughed, looking up at him again.

“I’m not a very nice man.”

She snorted. The tequila was rolling around in her brain, making her feel loose. Bold.

“No, you’re not, are you? You’re a tease.”

“A tease?” his eyebrows shot up. “Explain, please.”

“You. Sneaking up on me, talking to me the way you do.”

“And how do I talk to you, hmmm?” He raised a beer bottle to his lips – she hadn’t even realized he’d had one in his free hand.

“You talk to me like …” she tried to think through the tequila fog. “Like you know me. Like you know secrets about me, and you’re keeping them from me.”

“Maybe I do,” Woods challenged before necking the rest of his beer. She watched the tendons in his neck stretch and pull taut. Ridiculously wanted to place her tongue against them.

“And what secrets do you know, pray tell?” she asked, loosely wrapping her arms around his shoulders as a slow song came on.

“I know a lot of things.”

“I think you’re full of shit,” she called him out. “I think you just like to tease people. Poor Jeremy.”

“I didn’t once tease Jeremy,” Woods corrected her. “If you asked him, I think you would find that he was highly, and often, fulfilled.”

“Fulfilled? Or just filled?” she joked before she could stop herself.

“Ooohhh, I think I’m going to like drunk-you very much,” his voice was low as he laughed at her response.

“And none of that is a secret – everyone knew you two were sleeping together. I don’t think you know any secrets, Woods Donahue,” she said.

He pulled her in tight to him, pressed his mouth to her ear.

“I know some things,” he breathed. “I know you look at me when you think I’m not looking at you. I know you wonder what it was like between Jeremy and me. But mostly, you wonder what it would be like between youand me.”

Her temperature skyrocketed and she felt like she couldn’t breathe. Forget blushing, she was on fire, and she couldn’t decide if she wanted to run away, or cry, or strip. Possibly some combination of all three.

Crazy woman living in an undisclosed location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a necessity!), I have been writing since …, forever? Yeah, that sounds about right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball – I also see shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I’m clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.

I like dogs more than I like most people, and I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t drink. No, I do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the year, there’s your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair – both a curse and a blessing – and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can’t understand me.

Yeah. I think that about sums me up.

Release Date: March 19, 2020
Genre: Contemporary Romance

A gorgeous, brooding rock god. 

An unstoppable chemistry we fight to ignore. 

Desperate passion I want indelibly inked on my soul. 

Jobless and financially destitute, I have no choice but to see this tour through. Even with my boss hating my guts. A fact he goes out of his way to prove every chance he gets. 

Lucky for me, the best part of Jasper Diamond is his daughter. But being the nanny on the road with one of the world’s biggest rock bands poses more challenges than I was expecting – including falling for the elusive front man. 

But with the world chasing after us, how long can we hide what others are determined to exploit? 

They say there is a thin line between love and hate.

That all good things must come to an end.

Set on a collision course, nothing could have prepared us for this.

Or for what fate has in store for us.

Get ready for a taste of the Wild Minds Duet…here’s an excerpt from Love To Hate Her!

Her fingers rake through my hair, tugging until my eyes drag up to hers. 

“I have a million reasons to leave, Jasper. A million. You push me past my every limit day in and day out. You hate me. Ignore me. Fight with me. Tease me. Tempt me. Make me feel alive and forgotten in the same breath. I have a million reasons to leave. I need one reason to stay. One reason that isn’t your little girl.” 

I stare into her, my fingers brushing back the long strands of her hair from her face. I hold that reason on my tongue, tasting its sweetness as it burns me like venom. It’s a truth I can’t let go. One I’m not ready for her to have. 

I’ll probably never be. 

“He loves you. You love him. How’s that for a reason?”

She shakes her head at me, her frustration palpable. “Is that what you’re really thinking right now while I’m sitting on your lap in the dark? With all that we’ve done together this past week? That I love him?” 

“It’s the only thing that matters between us.” 

“You’re a liar.”

“Am I?” I question, tilting my head, Jules’s words pounding through my skull so loud I can hardly see, let alone think, past them. She loves him. Not you. Again, what reason would Jules have to lie to me about that? They’re best friends. Best friends who likely tell each other everything. Isn’t that what girls do?

“I don’t want to hurt like this when I look at you anymore. I’m tired of hating you while not being able to stop thinking about you.” 

My lips descend into the base of her neck, directly over her pulse that thrums beneath me. My eyes close, and I inhale a silent breath. I’m tired of loving you while not being able to have you. 

“You don’t hate me, Viola.”

“You’re right. I don’t hate you, Jasper. You’re the one who can’t make up his mind.”

“What is it you’re looking for from me?” I speak against her skin. “What is it you think I have to give you when you belong to him? You want me to stop hating you? Done. You want me to be nice? I can fucking try. You want me to fuck this thing out of us? I will. Tell me what you want, and I’ll give you anything. Because while you have a million reasons to go, and you’re looking for one to stay other than my daughter, she’s the only reason I can give you to stay when I have a million for you to go.” 

Her breath hitches, her head falling back as my tongue swipes out, stealing a taste. 

My hands drop from her hair, sliding along her narrow shoulders, over the top of her chest, down her ribs, my thumbs brushing the sides of her full tits through her shirt as I go. Her body trembles against mine as my hands grasp her waist, my nose gliding up the long column of her neck. 

My body unable to hold back as I lick and suck and kiss her there. 

Only there. If I kiss her mouth, there will be no going back.

Title: Breathless (Texas Night Series Book #3)
Author: Lex Martin
Release Date: February 18, 2020
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Joey

I wouldn’t say I ran away exactly—twenty-two is too old for that. 

I’d call it self-preservation.

I have one objective: protect my heart from the boy next door who has no clue I’ve loved him my whole life, even with a front row seat to his revolving bedroom door.

My escape plan almost worked.

Except I left one thing behind.

Logan Carter hijacked my heart, and now it’s time to get it back. This time for good.

Logan

I wouldn’t say I’ve been lying this whole time—not about everything.

Not about how much I miss my best friend, and definitely not about how pissed I am that she left with hardly a goodbye.

She’s the last person I ever expected to ghost me, and her absence left a gaping hole in my chest.

When Joey Grayson steps off that bus, I know I’ll do anything to keep her home, and that means finding out the truth. 

But I’m not sure how to tell her my truths when I’m living so many lies.

Gah! This cover is BEAUTIFUL!

Title: Shameless (Texas Night Series Book #1)
Author: Lex Martin
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Brady…

What the hell do I know about raising a baby? Nothing. Not a goddamn thing. 

Yet here I am, the sole guardian of my niece. I’d be lost if it weren’t for Katherine, the beautiful girl who seems to have all the answers. Katherine, who’s slowly finding her way into my cynical heart. 

I keep reminding myself that I can’t fall for someone when we don’t have a future. But telling myself this lie and believing it are two different things. 

Katherine…

When Brady shows up on a Harley, looking like an avenging angel—six feet, three inches of chiseled muscle, eyes the color of wild sage, and sun-kissed skin emblazoned with tattoos—I’m not sure if I should fall at his feet or run like hell. Because if I tell him what happened the night his family died, he might hate me. 

What I don’t count on are the nights we spend together trying to forget the heartache that brought us here. I promise him it won’t mean anything, that I won’t fall in love. 

I shouldn’t make promises I can’t keep.

* Author’s note: Due to mature situations and sexual content, Shameless is recommended for readers 18+.

Author: Lex Martin
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Reckless features Tori and Ethan and is a standalone companion to the USA Today bestseller Shameless.

Tori…
For the record, I’m not going to hook up with my boss.

I’m a lot of things—a screwup, a basket case, a flunky. But when I take a nanny job to be near my pregnant sister, I swear to myself I’ll walk the straight and narrow, which means I cannot fall for my insanely hot boss.

I don’t want to be tempted by that rugged rancher. By his chiseled muscles or southern charm or the way he snuggles his kids at bedtime. Ethan Carter won’t get the key to my heart, no matter how much I want him. 

Ethan…
Between us, she’s the last thing I need as I finalize my hellish divorce. 

What sane man trying to rebuild his life wants a hot nanny with long, sexy hair, curves for miles, and a smart mouth? A perfectly kissable, pouty mouth that I shouldn’t notice.

My focus is on my kids and my ranch, not the insufferable siren who sleeps in the room next to mine. It doesn’t matter that she wins over my kids in a heartbeat or runs my life better than I do. Tori Duran is the one woman I can’t have and shouldn’t want, no matter how much I crave her.

I love all these teasers – can’t wait to read Breathless!

Want a taste of Savior???  (You know you do!)

 

“Can I ask you a question?”

Her head tipped back on the couch and turned to look at me with one brow arched. “You can. I may not answer though,” she repeated my same words back to me.

“How are you nineteen and still a virgin?”

“It’s not like I’m forty,” she scoffed.

“I know, but it’s uncommon in this day and age.”

“I don’t know. There wasn’t anyone really great around where I was. No one that I felt safe enough with to even consider feeling attraction.” She shrugged before shifting to face me. “Plus my sister didn’t make it seem all that appealing.”

“You ever have a boyfriend?”

“Nope.”

“Kissed?” The question slipped out, lower and more intimate than I’d planned.

A slow smile curled her lips. “Well, yeah. I kissed you.”

“Was I your only kiss?” I asked, shocked.

Her eyes dropped a bit before looking back up, a blush staining her cheeks. “Among other first experiences.”

Her soft moans as her hips moved faster over my lap flashed in my mind, instantly bringing my dick to life.

“Actually,” she began, “I don’t think you get credit for my first orgasm. I kind of did that myself against you and I could have accomplished the same thing against a pillow. So maybe you’re not that great.”

No inner voice giving me warnings about giving her space and to keep this neutral could stop my male pride from rearing its head. I narrowed my eyes and shifted to face her, leaning an arm on the back of the couch to crowd her. “Not that great?” I growled.

The smile she’d been trying to hold back broke free even as the slight blush became a rosy red that spread down her neck. “Nah. I’m still waiting for someone to give me my first real orgasm.”

A roaring sound filled my ears, like a wave washing away all common sense. In its place was me beating my chest demanding she acknowledge that she came against my crotch because I made her. I leaned in closer. “I gave you your first orgasm.”

She shrugged casually, but I saw the pulse thudding against her neck. I watched the way her tongue slicked out to coat her lips. “Sorry to crush your spirits, but I did all the work. You just sat there. Kind of like a pillow would.”

“I was.”

“Weren’t.”

“Was.”

“Weren’t.”

“Was,” I growled, reaching the end of my patience.

She giggled. “Were—”

My lips crashed down on hers, stopping the childish argument. A small part of me knew how fucking stupid this all was. I’d pushed her away, made decisions, gone on dates I didn’t want to, all to make sure she stayed away. And here we were, kissing because I had to make a point that I was some caveman.

I was an idiot.

When he failed me, I thought I’d never again experience such heart-crushing pain. But watching him fall out of clubs with a succession of different girls renews the agony, resurrecting countless unanswered questions.
