Synopsis
Tabitha Michaelson, the fun loving, sassy girl who loves anything
that sparkles. What you might not know is, she took an oath years ago with herbrother Seth, vowing to lock their hearts and throw away the key. She has spentyears keeping up the happy façade and not letting anyone get close. 


It’s not until that chance meeting when Tabitha meets her match in
Carter Northwood.


Here’s a man who’s life has been filled with lies, threats, and
tangled webs of disaster. Carter knows that if he takes this chance at true love, the world around him will tumble down like a spiral staircase. 


Two hearts mended to form a single beat from the start. A test of trust, infinite love, and a longing for each other’s passion.



  
Excerpt

Leaning back, I watch as her lips move from side to side as if she tastes them. Her head bobbles while she shifts in her seat. She’s caused me to snicker. Lord it’s been forever since a woman has had this sort of effect on me. My chest is moving up and down from the laughter.


I know once she wakes, she’ll be embarrassed by her actions. Just as I think this, her eyes fly open.


They’re as green as emeralds. That’s what I see on this side of the computer screen. I can only imagine how mesmerizing they are in person. She’s startled, off her game now as she realizes I’ve been watching.

EXCERPT REVEALS: Broken Lullabies (Love Of A Rockstar #2) by Nicole Simone

Title: Broken Lullabies (Love Of A Rockstar #2)
Author: Nicole Simone
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 25, 2015

goodreads

Synopsis

His eyes as black as the devils tongue
His melodic voice more tempting than a siren’s call

Three years ago, Camille Barker was held at knife point, but her attacker wasn't the one who haunted her dreams. No, it was the man that stood a-washed in the yellow glow of the street light, his stare observant but heedless. A witness to the senseless act. The venom that dripped from his twisted lips saved Camille's life and set her soul ablaze. Reemerging from the ashes, she set upon the well worn path her parent’s always dreamed she would take.

That is until rock n roller, Matthew Lee, shows her that you can only bask in the sun so long before the monsters come out to play.
Excerpt
The timer dinged on the oven and Matthew slipped on a pair of oven mitts. A golden brown quiche was set on the counter. He slipped a knife in the center, then declared it satisfactory. If any of Matthew's fans were here to witness his domesticity, they would faint in delight.

"Take a seat and I'll serve you," he said.

I wanted him to serve me in a whole different way than he was offering. An image of him between my thighs, putting his tongue to good use made me bite my lower lip to quell a moan. Matthew's eyes heated as his gaze dropped to my mouth. Sexual tension crackled in the air. Why was it the worst ideas were the most tempting?

"You need to stop looking at me like that, Camille," Matthew warned.

"Like what?"

"Like you want me to fuck you on the edge of the dining room table."

"It's a sturdy table."

Faster than I could breathe, Matthew shrank the gap between us and crowded me against the counter. "We would cross boundaries that are better left uncrossed."

"Why? You're single. I'm single. What's the problem? It's not like I'm asking for any kind of commitment."

"You deserve commitment." Matthew's electrifying stare roamed my face. "You deserve the whole fucking world, but I'm not the kind of man who could give that to you."

"What kind of man are you then?"

His steel gray eyes changed to a frightening shade of black. "The kind you should stay away from."

I sucked in a lungful of air as his thumb dragged across my lower lip. Need coiled tightly in my stomach. Lowering his head, Matthew brushed a featherlight kiss against my mouth.

Reeling back, he spoke with remorse. "I'm sorry -- so incredibly sorry, Camille."

I got the sense he wasn’t apologizing for leaving me high and dry. But what exactly he was apologizing for confounded me. Matthew kissed my forehead, turned around, and exited the kitchen. Seconds later, the front door clicked shut.

Perfect for fans of Nora Roberts and Karen Robards, Kathy Clark’s suspenseful, seductive Denver Heroes series kicks off as a dedicated cop and a beautiful actress get wrapped up in a world of danger and desire.

Aside from the reporter riding along in the passenger seat of his cruiser, it’s a typical Saturday night on the job for Sam Morgan of the Denver Police Department. Then shots ring out, and a routine stop involving a pimp and a hooker spirals into senseless violence. Now Sam is lying in a hospital bed, haunted by fleeting memories of the stunning blonde who saved his life—and then just disappeared.

Kate McKinney was hired to play a prostitute on a reality-TV show, not stand around as actual bullets start flying. Unable to shake the feeling that trouble is stalking her, Kate turns to the only man she can trust: the wounded cop whose blue eyes send chills through her body. He doesn’t believe she was just playing a role, but the predator hiding in the shadows is all too real—and, as Sam and Kate edge closer to the truth, so is the heat that ignites between them.

Excerpt

“Are you looking for someone?”

I finished my scan of the room and my eyes landed on the handsome stranger next to me. Was I looking for someone? No. I’d been so angry for so long. I wasn’t looking for someone. I was looking for something.

Something spontaneous and meaningless. Something that would be my little secret. I needed my own secret.

I looked into his eyes. They were so dark. I could get lost in dark, murky eyes like that. “No.”

“That’s too bad.” “I’m not sure that it is. I thought maybe I wasn’t looking any more because I’d just found him.”

New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Cynthia Eden spins a hot new paranormal Purgatory story with…DEAL WITH
THE DEVIL.

Eric Pate is used to making his own rules—as the director of the PARA Unit, he is the boss. Everyone rushes to obey his commands, and no one knows his secrets. No one ever gets too close to him.
But then he meets her.

Ella Lancaster is tired of being a prisoner. She escaped one hell just to find herself in another, but Eric doesn’t consider her containment with his agents as punishment. He actually thinks it is a form of protection. But Eric is so very wrong. Ella doesn’t need protecting, not for anyone or anything.

But when the PARA Unit comes under attack, Ella and Eric both find themselves battling a supernatural beast that they never expected. Forced to join forces, to make a deal, Ella and Eric are soon fighting side-by-side, and their attraction for each other can’t be contained or controlled. Hot. Wild. Consuming. Ella’s deal with her devil is soon taking over her life.

And as Eric falls deeper and deeper under the mysterious Ella’s spell, his legendary control begins to crack. The beast that he has kept chained so carefully inside rises to the surface.
Unfortunately, when the devil loses his control…there is real hell to pay.

“Have you looked long enough?” he asked. His voice was a deep, dark rumble. Sexy.
She didn’t want to find anything about her jailer to be sexy. This attraction she had to him—it was odd. Unwanted.

But…there. Instinctive. Primal. Even her heart was already beating faster, and not just because she thought escape was at hand. Because he was close, and he stirred her.

Ella lowered her hand away from the glass. She was going to try logic with him first. She’d plead her case. Perhaps that tactic would work.

And perhaps not.

“You’ve had plenty of time to look at me,” Ella murmured. “I suppose I thought it was only fair for me to have the same opportunity.”

His jaw hardened. Just a small movement, but she saw it and Ella liked that she’d gotten to him.

“Did you think I didn’t know? I could feel it when you were close.” She motioned toward the mirror, then toward the video camera mounted near the ceiling. “I think this was all a bit…much, don’t you? I mean, I’m locked in. It’s not as if I can plot some terrible wickedness here.”

“You can plot it,” he allowed, “you just can’t carry it out.”

Ella took a step closer to him.

He offered her his hand. “It’s time we were officially introduced. My name is Eric Pate, and I’m in charge of the FBI’s Para Unit.”

She stared at his hand.

The Para Unit. There had been whispers about that group for years. Government agents who policed the creatures that went bump in the night. According to the gossip she’d heard, if a supernatural got on the wrong side of the Para Unit, well, that supernatural found his—or her—butt tossed into Purgatory.

Is Purgatory real?

Ella was very much afraid that it was.

“I don’t bite,” Eric murmured. His hand was still offered toward her.

“No.” Ella cleared her throat. “I think that’s my deal.” Because she didn’t want to show him her fear, she put her hand in his.

Heat.

Her breath caught in her throat. And, yes, she still breathed. Her heart still beat, she could still feel pain and pleasure. Despite the tales heard by so many, paranormals were still alive. They could hurt, they could feel…just like humans.

Ella had thought that the man before her was cold. Emotionless. After all, a darkness seemed to cling to him like a shroud, but when they touched—fire seemed to ignite in her hand. Her heart beat even faster, nearly racing out of control. Her breasts ached, as if wanting, needing a lover’s touch. And—

She tried to pull away.

But his hand tightened around hers. She could feel the strength in that hand.

“Is something wrong?”

Yes, you’re what’s wrong! The man before her was far from human, no matter what he wanted to pretend. And she should not be reacting to him that way. His scent wasn’t human. It was just slightly…off. Everything about him was, yet she was still feeling that pull between them.
