The Accidental Mafia Queen Book 1

by Khardine Gray

Genre: Contemporary Mafia Romance

From USA Today Bestselling author Khardine Gray comes a sexy, delightfully devilish, seductive Mafia Romance series. Enter the alluring world of the ruthless and the dangerous with book one.

Luc

Better to be at the right hand of the devil than in his path…

When you come from a crime family, you have a name to live up to.

My enemies know I'm a bastard who shows no mercy—exactly the cold-hearted don my father would want me to be. Except we're not the ones in charge. Yet…

The Boss wants me to take over his billion-dollar business, and the only way that's happening is if I can win the heart of his cop daughter.

I planned to treat her just like all the other women who meant nothing to me, until I met her and everything changed.

Money and Power. That was all this was supposed to be about… Falling in love wasn't part of the plan.

Neither was finding out that her father has a hidden agenda, and I'm just a pawn in his game.

Amelia

Running…

Running away again. That was me.

Always running from something. Running from my past and the terrible, dark, family secrets.

Running away from myself, from the person I was and who I used to be.

Now I’m running from my heart. It betrayed me and fell for the devil.

Luc… A mobster, a criminal.

The type of man I never wanted to end up with.

The mobster, the criminal, who called me his goddess and worshiped the ground I walked on.

I shouldn’t want him…because loving this man would be my worst nightmare.

Loving this man could destroy me.

But… I couldn’t resist him…

I wish I could…

MAFIA BOSS is The Godfather and The Sopranos with the sexy edge of a drool-worthy Alpha male.

Mafia Scars

The Accidental Mafia Queen Book 2

From USA Today Bestselling author Khardine Gray comes a sexy, delightfully devilish, seductive Mafia Romance series. Continue your journey in the alluring world of the ruthless and the dangerous with book two.

I was the devil. The worst kind of man for her.

I knew the truth would make her hate me. But, I still wanted her to be mine.

My goddess.

Damn, I’d never wanted a woman the way I wanted her.

One simple kiss could scorch my mind clean of everything I knew. That was what she did to me. She took me out of the real world, where I was a mobster and she was a cop.

I was the imposter who lied to her…

Her father gave me a task: marry his daughter and get everything.

Marry the daughter of the mafia king and get everything. The whole billion-dollar fortune.

Greed made me say yes, and love blinded me to the danger we were in.

The web of lies I got myself tangled in was the least of my worries because her life was in danger.

She had a target on her back.

Blood for blood, that’s the worst kind of mark you can get in my world.

It means death. Someone has to die…

I may be the devil and the worst kind of guy for this angel of a woman, but I’ll die trying to save her.

I will be her savior, and God help those who come for her.

Mafia Scars is the second book in The Accidental Mafia Queen trilogy. Lucian and Amelia’s intriguing, sexy, story continues in this book and completes in Mafia Love.

Luc

The hour of reckoning was upon us…

Amelia’s life was in danger.

Amelia, my goddess.

The time to watch the situation had long passed.

Now, it was time to change things up.

Time for me to change.

Love made me go soft and allow the image and handle I had on things to slip out of my grasp.

I needed to find myself. Now more than ever.

All the secrets were jumping straight out of the closet. Right into the open for all to see.

We weren’t playing games anymore.

It was time for war. It was time to become the devil I was.

Amelia

No more games, no more lies.

No more running from the past.

No more running from who I used to be.

I knew I would lose my soul when I fell for Luc.

I was a cop, and he was a mobster. Love lured me to the dark side.

We could pretend to be whoever we wanted to be, but truth was truth.

The games were over and right now I couldn’t see past the darkness that waited for me.

Taken By the Night Tour and #Giveaway

Taken By the Night

by Breanna Hayse

Genre: Paranormal Romance

What would you do if you were forced to come face-to-face with the secret part of your soul you’ve kept hidden your entire life? Would you expose that secret if it meant the possibility of living your greatest fantasy?

Hospice nurse Courtney Wells expected to encounter a commanding personality when she agreed to provide care for an old friend of the Romanian aristocrat, Baron Marcas Kalnovky. Confident, self-controlled, and independent- very few things could rattle her, that is until she meets the handsome and mysterious man with silver-gray eyes and old world charm. The moment she hears his deep rolling accent, her body quivers with a desire she can’t deny no matter how hard she tries.

From the beginning, Marcas demands something the young American woman’s not willing to give- submission. His desire for her takes him on a journey that forces him to face himself in a way neither he, nor Courtney, anticipate.

What the pretty little nurse doesn’t know is that the baron’s voracious appetite for ancient erotic art resulted in the unleashing of a dark curse. Not only does he nearly lose his sight, but his soul is literally split in two.

By day, he's the same man he always was- controlled, calm, and commanding; but at sunset, he tears in half and his two opposite sides war against one another. The only thing they have in common is the beautiful, feisty woman who’s turned their life around. Both sides not only want her, but they also need her… all of her, in every way she can be taken... Together at night- which means they have to find a way to get along.

When Marcas finally confesses the truth, Courtney’s both terrified and intrigued. When she’s bound naked and helpless at the mercy of all of his desires, she's shocked to find that she’s soon begging for both of him in every manner imaginable.

When she discovers the pain Marcas endures to be with her; she’s determined to find a way to help him. Little does she know that there’s more to curse than his being forced to face himself every night—it wants a sacrifice. A terrifying sacrifice that would cost Courtney’s life she’s compelled to come to terms with her own hidden darkness.

Will her love be enough to break the curse and heal his wounded soul? What about the cost? Would he ever forgive her if she succeeds in setting him free?

BDSM/AP lifestyler Breanna Hayse strives to give her readers truth and reality of the BDSM/Age-Play/Total Power and Erotic Exchange lifestyle.

Who am I?

I'm a native Californian gone 'wild', and had the opportunity to travel the globe and discover the world through the eyes of both a Marine Intelligence specialist and a BDSM lifestyler. I left the service to go into hospice nursing and grief counseling, eventually working as a marriage and family therapist for those involved in alternative lifestyle development. This experience has allowed me to gain unique inspiration for my books and offer realistic plots and relatable characters.

In 2004, my husband, John, and I joined forces to work with both submissives and dominants- teaching, training, listening and loving. Our goal was to take the mystery and fear out of the lifestyle and mentor people in safe, consensual and healthy relationships.

My first book, The Game Plan, was published in 2012 and opened the door to the now-booming world of Age-Play literature. Since that time, I've devoted my 'spare' time to writing, researching, community involvement, and private and group pro bono counseling in deviant behavior, alternative lifestyle, and addiction recovery.

I was formally 'dungeon trained' as a Domme before discovering my submissive side when I joined the service. My scenarios are pulled primarily from either personal experience or observation, including spending time in BDSM clubs as the safety/medical officer. My multi-faceted background allows me to glean from many avenues and give a unique and intelligent literary experience through elements of fantasy and fiction. I also discuss the questions and psychology of the lifestyle in a manner that is fun and informative, and based on 'the real deal.'

I live with my husband, musician, and fellow-author, John Hayse, and two border collies in southern California. We practice a 24/7 D&S relationship with speckles of AP (and many trips to Build-A-Bear), and happily spend every moment together that we can. My hobbies include my puppies, hiding my vanilla salt-water taffy where John can't find it, exotic art, collecting inspirational trinkets, and developing my own paddle line. You can also see me as a featured author/instructor in professional conference settings and as a Sexpert for kinkyliterature.com.

Cookie O’Gorman
Publication date: April 2019
Genres: Contemporary, Romance, Young Adult

Seventeen-year-old Sadie is tired of being a good girl.

Her Career Aptitude Test results say she’s ideally suited for a career in the clergy (aka a nun), and on top of that, she receives yet another rejection. An aspiring dancer/choreographer, Sadie dreams of being featured on Dancer’s Edge—but they say she’s too sweet, needs more life experience. Her BFF, Kyle, and her oldest friend, 79-year-old Betty, agree: Sadie is in desperate need of a life makeover.

But she’ll need a coach.

Sadie doesn’t lie, cheat or steal–heck she doesn’t even curse (part of the reason she hasn’t checked off anything on her “Carpe Diem List”). Sadie doesn’t know the first thing about being bad. But Kyle’s twin brother, Colton, does. And he’s willing to teach Sadie on one condition: she has to do everything he says for the next month.

A dazzling first kiss, two smokin’ hot brothers and a bet that changes everything. In this enemies-to-more YA romance, Sadie learns:

Breaking the rules can be fun—especially when it leads to happily-ever-after.
