The Lemon Gunman

Essentially Sweet Romance Book 3

Wanted for assassination.

I’m the top female sharp-shooter in the US, so it makes sense, I guess. Only I didn’t do it.

Running is my only option in order to figure who framed me, and exactly what happened in that Cincinnati hotel room. But I’m trapped here in the city, incapable of producing an alibi, when all I want is the wide-open fields of Montana. Oh, and Harper Wasden, the Navy Seal who stole my heart the second I laid eyes on him. But he’s off fighting a war somewhere, I’m alone, with only an abandoned Pitbull to keep me from going crazy. When help arrives out of nowhere, saving my neck from the FBI’s clutches, dare I trust it? Not when every heart beat pounds out the name Harper Wasden.

The problem is, it looks like I did it. Even. To. Me.

The Spearmint Spy

Essentially Sweet Romance Book 4 

 

A dark anniversary looms over the most luxurious cruise ship on earth.

Escaping myself in order to survive the date that almost killed me last year is imperative. Daddy's ship is the perfect place to do it, with no reminders of the past or familiar faces. But finding a body in my car just before boarding is no help at all. Especially since she’s dressed just like me, designer nails and all.

To make things worse, an infuriatingly handsome passenger is determined to ruin the entire trip, and besting him might be the only enjoyment I get. Except all my usual tricks fall flat, and he seems impervious to my seething rebukes.

Finding a gun hidden in my room is the last straw; espionage surrounds me and I haven’t got a clue how to survive it, or the anniversary I’ve never been less prepared for. I’ll need all the brute force my protection dog can dish out, and, I hate to say it, the help of the one man I can’t intimidate.

 

Amazon * Bookbub * Goodreads


The Myrrh Boss

Essentially Sweet Romance Book 5 

Have you ever been deceived, hoodwinked, snookered?

Well, I have, by a man I once a looked up to and, it chokes me to say it, dated. Turns out he runs the mob in Buffalo, NY, and I was 100% wrong about him. One thing I’m not wrong about is that spurning him equals life over for me. He has eyes everywhere, and the police force is wrapped around his little finger too, which is why I’m also running from fake drug charges.

But when I discover his under-ground dog fighting ring, something deep down and red-headed flares up. One of us is going down, and it won’t be me, I’ve got dogs to save.

A street-wise kid named Cooney hatches the craziest plan. He says the mob’s second in command, Billa, will help me, but isn’t that jumping from the pan into the fire? And a fire he is too. How can I keep from repeating my mistake when Billa is stealing my heart piece by piece? Can a girl from the suburbs take down a mafia boss?

In this sweet but sizzling mafia romance, you’ll laugh out loud all the way to the feel good ending!

Kate Hill is back to tell us about Warrior's Grace, the Barnes Family book 2, an historical, slowburn romantic suspense novel set in the Victorian Era.

Read on for details...

_______________


Warrior's Grace

(The Barnes Family 2)

Heat Level: Some Sensuality
Pairing(s): M/F
Genre/Themes: Historical Romance, Victorian Romance, Suspense, Slow Burn

AMAZON - B&N

UNIVERSAL LINK


Blurb: 

In Victorian England, a wealthy businessman and a governess with a dangerous past must reveal their darkest secrets or risk losing everything.

When wealthy businessman Max Barnes takes in two orphans to rear as his own, he has no idea that the governess he hires to care for them will change his life.

Grace Martin has spent years protecting her country. Now she's ready for a quiet, normal life as governess to a pair of young orphans. What she doesn't count on is the children's charming father stealing her heart and a vengeful assassin from her past targeting her through Max and his children.

Max and Grace must reveal their darkest secrets or risk losing everything.

Note: This book contains references to sexual abuse, child abuse, and mental health issues in a historical setting. It also has some sensual scenes and some violence.



 

Excerpt:

“All right.” Max smacked his hands together. “Hide and seek it is.”

Sam looked a bit worried. “Who’s it?”

“I will be,” Jane said. “Shall I count to one hundred?”

“I can’t count that high,” Sam said.

“It doesn’t matter, fool. I’m counting. Not you.”

“Jane, we don’t call others names.”

“Sorry, Miss Martin.”

“Close your eyes and start counting,” Max ordered.

Sam dashed out of the room, practically falling over his own feet.

“Slow down, Sam, or you’ll break your neck before the game even starts,” Max called.

He and Grace swept out of the library and split up. Max glanced over his shoulder at Grace who lifted her skirts and hurried off.

“Twenty-one. Twenty-two. Twenty-three.” Jane’s voice carried from the library.

Max turned and jogged after Grace. He glanced in the parlor just as she ducked behind the folds of the long, green velvet drapes.

Grinning, he strode into the room and joined her, their bodies pressed close behind the curtain.

“What are you doing?” Grace demanded.

“Hiding.”

“Find your own place, sir. This one is already taken.”

“But there’s room for two.” He slid an arm around her and covered her mouth with a kiss.

Grace chuckled softly and melted against him.

“How will we explain this to Jane when she finds us?” Grace whispered against his lips.

“I hadn’t thought of that. One more kiss and I’ll do the gentlemanly thing and leave.”

“Mr. Barnes!”

“Last night I was Max. Can I have another kiss or not?”

Capitán Cristóbal de Varga's drive for glory and gold in 1538 Peru leads him and his army of conquistadors into a New World that refuses to be conquered. He is a man torn by life-long obsessions and knows this is his last campaign. What he doesn't know is that his Incan allies led by the princess Sarpay have their own furtive plans to make sure he never finds the golden city of Vilcabamba.

Publisher: MindStir Media


 

Sean Roberts loved farming and his girlfriend. After they broke up she disappeared into San Francisco's drug filled hippie environment of the 1960s. Her parents were frantic and no one in their small-town seemed able to help them find their daughter. They reached out to Sean and he agreed to search for their lost daughter.

His search forced Sean to assume his nom de plume, George Wescot and enter a world of extreme wealth and of people who only cared about their own pleasures and not the pain it caused other people. George uses his skills learned from hunting, fighting and evasion to penetrate this sadistic society. Subsequently, he pursued across the United States, India, and Europe. Finally, Sean stopped running from the Brothers, and started hunting those people who caused his ex-girlfriend's and her family's pain from injuries she sustained.


About the Author

I have been a writer all my life. I wasn't very good partly because I'm dyslexic and partly because of my dyslexia I was a terrible reader. But I love to write and therefore wrote often. I wrote many stories. One was published in a magazine. Before the pandemic I started writing my first novel,"Farm Tough", and self published it. The book got good reviews from readers but wasn't promoted. Shortly thereafter, I started to write "A Just Revenge" partly about my time at Yuba College, Chico State College, Los Angeles and finally Europe. I found that I write best when I write about something I know, about something I've done or about something I feel.

Dominic - Grim Road MC - Motorcycle Club Romance - Suspense - Age Gap #Romance #MotorcycleClubRomance #MC #Suspense #AgeGap

Marteeka Karland is here to tell us about Dominic, Grim Road MC, Motorcycle Club romance with suspense and an age gap.

Read on for details...

__________________
 

 

(Grim Road MC)


Motorcycle Club Romance, Suspense, Age Gap

Date Published: December 27, 2024

 

 

I’m sergeant at arms of Grim Road MC. When I decide a woman is mine? She’s mine.

 

Annie -- I’m seriously starting to question my life choices. The truth is, even though I was practically homeless and living on a meal a day most of the time, I’m vastly better off now than I had been. Unfortunately, stubbornness doesn’t pay for shelter. Or even food, if you can believe it. I have a job at a local diner, but it’s still hard to survive. Which is how I find myself in a bikini contest. If I make it out of this situation, I’m never doing this again. Yet somehow I end up in bed with the most wicked, dangerous man I’ve ever met. And why does he call to me like nothing else ever has in my life?

Dominic -- The things I let my vice president push me into… I’m not a people person on the best of days, but somehow Lemon talked me into being a judge at a the local bikini contest. She says it’s to give the club some positive community exposure, but I’m pretty sure she’s just trying to get me laid. Too bad every woman here’s young enough to be my daughter. I’m a protective guy by nature and have a bit of a soft spot for vulnerable women. It’s one of many reasons Rocket made me sergeant at arms for Grim Road MC. Unfortunately, my protective instincts kick in when my co-judge gropes one of the contestants. The shock on the young woman’s face and the panicked way she flees the stage prompts me to act without considering the consequences… and that’s how the fight starts…

 


EXCERPT


“I’m too old for this fuckin’ shit.” It was true, too. At forty-eight years old I was definitely too old to be judging a bikini contest. Especially not after as much beer as I’d consumed. Though I knew better than to touch without invitation, I was just as likely to say something equally offensive. But at least, maybe I wouldn’t get myself arrested.

“Me too.” The guy beside me was every bit my age and then some. He looked like the standard West Palm Beach retiree. Too much on the spray tan, too much on the hair transplants, and a little soft around the middle. He was also probably wealthy enough not to care about the going to jail part when he groped a young woman. Guy likely had a couple of the city’s finest in his pocket in the case of something so trivial as touching a woman inappropriately without permission. Like in the middle of a bikini contest. Fucking bastard. “Don’t mean I’m not enjoying every fucking second.”

A huge smile on his face, the guy reached out -- just as I knew he would the second he’d sat down next to me at the judges’ table -- and ran his hand up the inner thigh of one of the contestants. The girl sidestepped her way deftly out of reach and gave the guy a mock reproving look. Like it was all a big joke when I knew she’d reacted the way she had by pretending it hadn’t bothered her that a strange man had been headed to the promised land without her permission. I’d always thought it was disgusting what women put up with sometimes. This was a prime example.

“No touching,” I snapped at the guy. I was only here because I’d let Lemon bully me into participating. Something about acting as security near the stage and looking good for the club in the community… Oh. And about me needing to get laid. Which, while I didn’t disagree with her, I didn’t want a child in my bed. These girls were all supposed to be at least eighteen but were young enough to be my daughters. I thought back to Tina and my own daughter, Calista. Calista was married to my enforcer and was probably only a couple of years older than some of these girls. So, yeah. I knew grandparents who were my age. Tina was probably laughing at this whole situation from heaven. If she thought about me at all. I thought she might and I was determined to not do anything to make her ashamed of me. Which made this a colossal waste of time if Lemon was trying to get me hooked up. But I’d be Goddamned if I wouldn’t put this guy in his place.

“Fuck you, man.” The guy didn’t even look at me. Instead, he reached for another woman walking past our table. This one obviously wasn’t used to being in these sorts of things because she started when his hand slid up the back of her thigh to squeeze her ass before she could get out of his grip. She whipped around with a startled cry and the guy just laughed. “That’s right, baby girl!” he yelled up at the young woman to be heard over the whoops and hollers. “Come to papa!”

The look on her face said she hadn’t expected anything like this when she entered this contest and had no idea how to handle the situation. Which meant she’d probably either been tricked into entering, or she was desperate. I wasn’t sure which to hope for, and I wasn’t sure which made me more angry.

“Touch her again, I’ll rip your arms off. You damn sure won’t touch her after that.” I actually bared my teeth. Which wasn’t something I’d normally do. I prided myself on my cool head. I was methodical and planned each move as carefully as I could. I also listened to my instincts and factored them into my decisions. This time, however, I hadn’t even thought about my move; I’d just acted, practically snarling like a rabid wolf. Also, I meant every single word. If he touched that girl again, I’d follow through with my promise.

“What the fuck, man? Why else would I be here if not to enjoy the show?” He gave me a cocky -- if a bit nervous-looking -- grin. “They all like it or they wouldn’t put themselves in this kinda thing.”

It took all my restraint not to wait until he touched the girl again -- and I knew he’d at least try -- and just beat the fuck outta him right now. “I’m not repeating myself. You’ve been warned.”

“Fuck you.” The guy sneered at me before reaching out to run his hand up the same girl’s calf.

This time she jumped back, a panicked look on her face that sent a spike of fury through my chest. I reached out to the guy, fully intending to knock his hand off her. Instead, I grabbed the back of his head and shoved him face first into the edge of the stage. There was the crunch of bone, a spray of blood, and Mr. Handsy dropped to the ground and didn’t move.

The girl on the stage gasped, slapping both hands over her mouth in shock. She looked from me to him and back before turning and fleeing the stage.

“Fuck.” I hadn’t meant to scare the girl and, for some fucking reason, it made my chest ache worse than my anger at imagined reasons for her being in this contest in the first Goddamned place.

All around me, men were still cheering, either not noticing the interaction between two of the judges or not caring. I kept my eye on the fleeing girl so I could see exactly which way she went. I caught the number on her hip indicating her contestant number. I’d find out her name before I left this place, then I’d give that shit to Crush or Byte and they’d find her for me if needed. Oh, they’d moan and groan and tell me they needed more, then after a bunch of grumbling and even more pizza, chips, dip, chicken wings, and anything else they could get Evelyn and Gina to make them. Which meant, I’d be bribing the women to make everything all in one go so I got my information faster.

Making my way through the crowd of horny men in their twenties, I headed in the direction I’d watched her leave. Still, no one said anything about the guy I’d just dropped. Were these fuckers for real?

Wait. Of course they were for real. I’d just answered that question when I’d made the judgment they were horny men in their twenties. Every ounce of blood flow that should have gone to their brains had likely gone straight to their dicks. Given the link between sex and violence, those guys wouldn’t notice anything short of a bomb blast.

I hurried around the stage and saw her. Leaning against a concrete wall next to the women’s bathroom. She had her hand over her stomach, and then she leaned forward and vomited.

“Sweet God above.” Another woman emerged from the bathroom in a skimpy bikini like everyone else had on. She gave my girl a disgusted look, her tone of voice irritated in the extreme. “Girl, you’ve got to get a hold of yourself.” She snickered. “If I curled up in a pile of puke every time someone grabbed me on stage, I’d never get through even one contest.” She scrunched up her nose. “Not like you were ever going to win anyway.” She flipped her hair over her shoulder, then twisted her ass toward the back of the stage. My girl sobbed as she finished vomiting.

I froze where I was as she fell back on her ass. She was half naked -- her bathing suit didn’t cover much -- huddling on the ground in a protective ball as she cried.

“Girl? He hurt you?” I knew he hadn’t, but I had no idea what her mindset was.

She shook her head but didn’t say anything.

“Girl? Need a verbal answer.” I stepped closer to her, careful not to spook her. I wasn’t sure how long I had before someone realized Mr. Handsy at the judges’ table was unconscious, or worse, and came looking for me.

“No.” She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and stood to her feet. “I just wasn’t expecting anyone to touch me.”

“He shouldn’t have.”

She looked up at me with large, hazel eyes. “You hurt him.”

UNENDING DESIRE

Erotic Urban Fantasy SciFi Romance

Blurb:

His hunger for one woman will make him a traitor to his world…


From a portal in his lab on E2, one of the five dimensions of Earth, quantum physicist Nikoli Zorr gazes on everything forbidden to him. Passion. Desire. The exquisite pleasure of running his hands over the lush curves of a young woman he should have stopped watching weeks ago.

 

His duty is to close the portals that keep the monsters out of E2—and never interfere with the inevitable fate of those on the other side. Yet he can’t bring himself to abandon the woman who has captured his soul.

 

Psychologist Regina Page is trying to focus on her client, and off the mysterious, unbearable sexual cravings that consume her when she’s alone in her bedroom. The next moment she’s attacked by vampires, then swept into another realm by Nikoli, a stranger whose touch awakens that same raw desire. Whose eyes are already filled with farewell.

 

Yet beneath their undeniable carnal lust, something else stirs. The beginnings of illicit love. The unexpected need to protect him. Even if it means risking body, blood, and soul to defeat the merciless horde…for a future that was never meant to be.
