BLURB:

From Cora Kenborn and Catherine Wiltcher comes a new mafia romance where love is the most dangerous crime of all...

This city tells a story of a man seeking vengeance…

Renzo Marchesi gives me two choices when he walks, unannounced, into my art gallery:
Help him find his brother’s killer or suffer the consequences.

He’s a mafia prince…

Heir to the Marchesi throne.
A man consumed by his demons.
Beautiful.
Ruthless.
I don’t belong in his world, and he doesn’t belong in mine.

Still, I’m not the spoiled politician’s daughter he thinks I am…

This is the City of Thieves, where lies are hard currency and deception is the real art.
Trust no one.
Love no one.
Too bad I don’t follow my own rules.

They say black arrows make for bleeding hearts.

EXCERPT:

I press the intercom, prompting a security guard to glance up from his station. Running his eyes over my expensive suit, he buzzes me in.
“Marchesi,” I state, noting he doesn’t even check his guest list.
“Miss Sanders has requested you join her in the atrium.” Following a half-assed pat down, he gestures to the far end of the art gallery. “Through those double doors. Can’t miss it.”
Wouldn't want to.
As I walk, my gaze trails like dirty fingers against each canvas. They all look like kids’ paintings to me. Still, I’m impressed. At twenty-three years old, Miss Sanders has created quite a business for herself.
Shame she’s about to lose the whole fucking thing.
Stepping into the glass-domed atrium, I spot her slender silhouette right away. I take in her profile as she gazes up at some abstract piece of shit painting that looks like gasoline-splashed asphalt. She’s more than appraising the canvas—she’s absorbed in it—her head tilted to the side, her dark hair still twisted into that tight bun from yesterday morning, not a hair out of place, with her tight black pencil dress holding all her secrets in.
What is it about this woman?
My type is uninhibited, not uptight. But there’s a dark part of me that wants to see her come undone in my hands; to take a hammer to that icy facade and see what’s really underneath. To close my fists around that hair and arch her back as I slam my cock into that frigid pussy.
I take a step closer.
She must have heard me, but she’s refusing to turn.
And another...
“Careful, Miss Sanders.” I move in close behind her, watching as her shoulders stiffen. “You’re becoming dangerously predictable.”
Her eyes never stray from the painting, while my eyes never stray from her tiny waist, the material gently flaring into the kind of curves that make me pay close attention.
“And how’s that, Mr. Marchesi?”
Christ, even her voice is like a rainstorm in December.
One more step brings us to an even level. “You have a strange fascination with complicated artwork,” I note, gesturing at the canvas.
“Oh?”
“Does it reflect a complicated woman?”
She tilts her chin in the air, the light catching on a razor-sharp cheekbone. “Have you come to psychoanalyze me or to take something else that belongs to me?”
Dangerous words, Miss Sanders.
Remorse isn’t a trait found in the Marchesi gene pool. I’m here for revenge. I’m here to use, destroy, and ruin, and that includes her and her precious paintings if need be.
When I don’t answer, she clips out, “You’re five minutes early.”
“Only a fool steps on unbalanced ground when he’s expected, dolcezza. Yet, you don’t seem surprised?”
“Should I be?”
Look at me, for fuck’s sake.
Her aloofness is both infuriating me and making me want to pin it up against the wall. Instead, I flatten the smirk tugging at the corners of my mouth. I’m almost impressed. I’m rarely knocked off focus. However, cold detachment isn’t a new game, and Miss Sanders is about to get a lesson she won’t soon forget.
“Most people are grateful when their date arrives on time.”
“A date? Is that what this is?” A low, sardonic laugh rumbles in her throat as she finally turns on those killer high heels and aims her green eyes right at me.
She’s even more beautiful up close, delicate features like fine china covering a hard shell of indifference…
But everything breaks for a price.

Fumbled Love, a laugh-out-loud sports romantic comedy from bestselling author Lila Rose is available in audio, narrated by Rupert Channing and Candice Moll!



The one day English teacher Reagan Wild is late for work - and looks like she dressed herself in the dark - she remembers Carter Anthony, a well-known football star, is coming to the school to deliver a talk to her students.

While Reagan knows Carter from her high school days, since he was her past crush, she wasn't ready to see him again. At the time, she hated being invisible. But right now, she wished she could simply disappear.

Carter Anthony is keen to give back to his hometown, but what he doesn't expect is getting something in return. When a chance encounter with Reagan, the shy girl from his past, happens, he knows instinctively this woman is supposed to be in his life.

With an embarrassing ability to blurt out whatever's on her mind, Reagan doesn't understand Carter's attention. She has no doubt, though, he'll soon realize his mistake when he discovers just how crazy she and her family are. But no matter what he sees, what he hears, or how her looney family behaves, he doesn't run. In fact, Carter's family seem just as unique as hers.

Through dog poop, naked yoga, and the paparazzi, can Carter and Reagan have any hope in love, even when it's fumbled?

Holland


Hockey winger and campus hottie, Cole Davis, might be an MVP with the ladies, but I'm not falling for a player...not with medical school on the line.

With our best friends dating, our forced proximity is inevitable.

That doesn't mean I have to like it—or the way he makes me feel. Like I'm missing out and there's more to life than sitting on the sidelines.

It only takes one moment of weakness to remind myself why I should have stayed away from Cole.

He might be a ruthless player, but nothing about this is a game. 

Cole

Holland Donovan knows exactly what she wants out of life—and it isn't me.

She's not looking for any distractions, and I'm a one-night kind of guy, but that doesn't stop me from wanting her.

From the first electric kiss—I know one night will never be enough.

I just need to convince her that I'm in it for the long haul—this isn't just about scoring.

On the ice I'm a pro at blocking shots and stealing passes, but when it comes to Holland the rules change.

I won't stop fighting for her, for us, until I make her mine.

Blurb:

Sticks and stones will break his bones, but floggers, whips, and canes excite her.

Dash came to Ohio to serve as interim vice president and help fix their recruiting problem. But when the long time President dies, their territory is in jeopardy.

Between the stress of a dwindling chapter and the reluctance to institute the planned regime change, Dash sought a club woman for comfort. However, when his tastes became a little too much, she declined. Further frustrated, he turned to the internet and flirted with an aptly named woman: GINGERSNAP.

Getting back in the saddle after her self-imposed exile Liz “GINGERSNAP” Martin takes a chance with him. He seems like everything her ex wasn’t – confident, dominant, and most importantly not a criminal – or so she thought.

Two out of three ain’t bad, right?

Their scenes can light the world on fire. He brings out her submission and makes her feel safe. But Liz struggles with the risks of trusting him.

Dash knows keeping her around means exposing her to the dangers of biker life.

It’s his role to protect her, even if that means from himself.

SHOT ACROSS THE BOW
By Julie Ann Walker
Book Five in the Deep Six series
Release Date: November 29, 2021

Blurb:

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julie Ann Walker delivers perfect pulse-pounding romantic suspense! The former Navy SEALs of Deep Six Salvage thought they could retire to the sea and hunt for treasures of the deep, but when trouble comes to visit, there’ll be hell to pay.

Former Navy SEAL Spiro “Romeo” Delgado is six-plus feet of high-octane charm, and he has two hard and fast rules. One, always come to the rescue of those in need. And two, never give up his fast and furious bachelor ways. But when Mia Ennis joins Deep Six Salvage on the hunt for the Santa Cristina, her mesmerizing blend of brains, beauty, and bravery makes him question everything he thought he wanted in life.

Mia’s traumatic past has taught her to keep everyone she meets at arm’s length. But Romeo, with that body that is forever tensed for action and that dark gaze that tracks her every move, makes her feel safe in a way she never expected. Yet the secret she carries compels her to keep her distance—even as the past comes back to haunt them.

A harrowing plane crash ends with Romeo and Mia marooned on a desert island. When a boatful of men bent on murder drop anchor, Mia discovers her only hope for survival depends on her letting her guard down around Romeo. But surrendering to the passion she feels for him might be the most dangerous thing of all…

Exclusive Excerpt:

Hello all you romantic suspense fans! Julie Ann Walker here, tickled pink to be hosted by Romance Enthusiasm today while I highlight the newest release in my bestselling Deep Six series, SHOT ACROSS THE BOW. I’m excited to give you all a taste of the book with an exclusive excerpt. Without further ado…

He noticed the sand had turned cool beneath his bare feet as he led her toward the western tip of the island. For a long time, he stayed as silent as she did. Listening to the waves hiss against the shoreline. Enjoying the gentle warmth of the evening breeze as it teased across his skin. Sneaking glances at her pretty profile and fantasizing about running his finger from the slope of her smooth forehead down to her button nose and ending under her stubborn little chin.

Eventually, though, he couldn’t stand her silence any longer. “You’re being awfully quiet this evening.” He realized what he’d said, and rephrased. “I mean, quieter than usual. What’s on your mind?”

She tentatively met his searching gaze. For a moment, he thought she wouldn’t answer. Then, she did. And when she did, the simple truth of her words, and the way she said them without ego or artifice, hit him like a grenade from a rocket launcher. “The answer to that question is the same as it’s been for the last couple of months. You. You’re what’s on my mind. It’s always you.”

“My god, Mia.” His voice sounded raw. “You have no idea—”

He stopped there, because he wasn’t sure what he even wanted to say. That she had no idea what she did to him? That she had no idea how she made him feel? That she had no idea that it was taking the last bit of his willpower not to pull her to him so he could taste the mouth those sweet words came out of?

She placed a gentle hand in the center of his chest, and his heart thudded up to meet her touch. “Are we about to become lovers?” Her expression seemed pensive.

When the wind whipped some of her hair across her face, he did something he’d been longing to do since the day they met. He brushed the wavy lock behind the delicate shell of her ear, letting the strands slip slowly through his fingertips.

Softer than I imagined, he thought. Silkier too.

Would the rest of her end up being softer and silkier than his fantasies? “I want that,” he admitted in a voice so low it was barely more than a growl. “Is that what you want?”

His heart tripped over itself when something that looked very much like indecision moved behind her eyes.

“Yes,” she finally answered, and he realized his shoulders had tensed, because they suddenly relaxed. “But...” She frowned. “Can you promise, no matter what, we’ll stay friends? I don’t think I could stand it if—”

He silenced her by placing a finger over her lips. He’d have rather used his mouth for the job, but once he started kissing her, he wouldn’t be able to stop. And right then she needed his words, not his tongue.

“I will never stop being your friend, cariña,” he swore to her.

PRAISE FOR JULIE ANN WALKER'S DEEP SIX SERIES:

“Hot men, hot action, and hot temperatures make for one hot romance!” BookPage

Walker blends the tender romance of a reassuring touch with lusty sex scenes… Readers will be panting.” — Publishers Weekly

“Julie Ann Walker and her SEALs serve up spicy fare…an exciting, spellbinding story.” Long and Short Reviews

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:



Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Julie grew up in a house full of women – she has three older sisters. As you can imagine, there was no lack of drama… or romance. Her mother enrolled her in a book club as soon as she began to read and it was the small spark that ignited her voracious appetite for the written word.

Because of Julie’s early immersion in literature, she found writing came quite naturally. In high school, she won multiple writing contests and was the proud senior editor of The Tiger’s Tale – her school newspaper.

During her college years, however, she longed for a challenge. “Reading and writing felt like second nature to me, so I looked for a way to flex my mental muscles,” she recalls. After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree, Julie began teaching advanced high school mathematics.

“I loved working with the students and facing the challenges of the classroom, but I longed for the occasional snow day when I could race to the local book store, buy two or three new novels, and curl up in front of the fire to read.”

It wasn’t until a fortuitous move to Chicago that Julie once more returned to her first passion.

Now Julie loves to travel the world looking for views to compete with her deadlines. When she’s not writing, she enjoys camping, hiking, cycling, cooking, petting every dog that walks by her, and… reading, of course!
