I was at the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong men. Men who are not what they seem. But neither am I.

Scarred, isolated, and practically alone–that was my life before attending Darlington Founders University.

I spent my days in the shadows, fading into the background and hiding the person I was ten years ago. A broken, damaged girl I didn’t want to remember.

My life changed when I met them. Three men who altered everything. I witnessed something I shouldn’t have, and now I’m suddenly the object of their obsession. Tristan Amato, Hendrix Knight, and Constantine Ferreira. Wealthy playboys hellbent on claiming me for their own.

When I’m thrust into their lives and given no choice but to live with them for my protection, I realize there is a lot more to these dangerous, enigmatic men than meets the eye. As the past and the present collide, dark truths are revealed and whispers of a secret society start to surface. I’m forced to face the very things I repressed all those years ago and question everything I know about who I am, who I can trust… and something much worse…

Am I falling in love with the enemy?

Beautiful Sin is a full-length New Adult romance with dark themes and damaged anti-heroes. It is book one in the Beautiful Sin series and ends with a cliffhanger. Recommended for mature readers. Please check Reader’s Note in the front matter of the book for potential TWs.

I walked away from the woman I loved.

Every day since, I’ve been living a lie, burying my regrets as I tried to move on.

It only takes one chance meeting to know I messed up.

Abby isn’t safe.

She’s got a stalker leaving threatening messages at the newspaper she works for.

There’s a hit on her head, and every shadow is a threat.

I thought I was protecting her when I left, but I was wrong.

When I see the son I never knew I had staring into my eyes, I swear I’ll do anything to make this right.

I’ll cut through every enemy and let the monster inside me take control.

My reaper won’t hold back his fury.

We won’t fail again. This second chance is a gift.

I’m wreaking havoc and unleashing the full potential of the demon within.

I’ll save my little Blayde and win back her heart.

And I’ll make damn sure no one stands in my way.

#BookReview: Sugar Plum Tea by @SCarnelianBooks @bookbrewbistro

Synopsis: Humanity needed the Tahli to chase the invading Borie from Earth. The Tahli needed Earth since their dying sun was giving off radiation that sterilized most of their women. They can either make it work, or both go extinct.

At the age of seven, Winnie was pulled from the rubble of a dying world by Tahli soldiers. She became their reason to fight to protect the women and girls of Earth, even if it meant going against their people’s desperation to save their species.

In her adult years, Winnie wanted nothing more than to marry and have children after starting her successful tea and sweet shop in the colonies set up by the Tahli. Backstabbers, terrorists, and hate that still filled the rebuilding world always seemed to get in the way. That is until she has a chance meeting with a newly relocated Tahli on Kinship Day.

#BookReview: Surviving the Sand by Helen Lingscheit Heavirland

Synopsis: "Dad's eyes danced. His grin held happiness...hope. 'We're home!' he announced. Mom stared out the pickup window. Silent. Lifeless...Tufts of skinny grass and small grayish green bushes surrounded us. The land lay flat in every direction as far as I could see." Helen Lingscheit Heavirland spent her early years in western Oregon's beautiful woods, where her father Wayne Lingscheit's work as a logger provided a comfortable home. But Wayne dreamed of farming, and Columbia Basin Project irrigation opened a new opportunity. In 1954 he and his wife Gladys moved their family--seven-year-old Helen, baby Hazel, twelve-year-old Frank, and fifteen-year-old Emma--to raw land in Pasco, Washington, that was mostly bunchgrass and sagebrush. The only structures were a roofless outhouse, an eight-foot by sixteen-foot wooden shack, and a pen for sheep and goats. In Surviving the Sand, Helen shares her family's hardscrabble yet heartwarming story, chronicling common hardships many faced in the Columbia Basin Project's early settlement days. She describes breaking sod, plants destroyed by wind-whipped sand, and a harrowing first winter sleeping outside after a storm shredded their tent, but also simple joys like fresh apricots, Crokinole games, and letters from loved ones. Most of all, she relates how--despite the heartache, arduous work, and tough times--her family loves, laughs, and works together as they chase her father's seemingly impossible dream.

These polar opposites are either racing toward happily ever after, or an epic crash…

Landon Wilde has plenty of bad choices and regrets in his rearview—not the least of which is his former career as an adult-movie star. But now, he’s behind the wheel of a race car where he belongs, and he’ll do everything he can to stay there. Getting involved with a sweet-but-sexy good girl probably isn’t in his (or her) best interest. So why can’t he stay away?

Georgiana Rutledge is neck-deep in a crisis of faith. Her famous televangelist mother does not practice what she preaches, and Georgie’s tired of the hypocrisy. She needs some time away from it all to regroup. Being with a known bad boy probably isn’t going to give her the clarity she needs in her life, and yet, she can’t seem to walk away.

Two lonely souls, each broken in their own unique ways, might be able to mend their emotional wounds together. The only real question is if the cost of Landon and Georgie’s happily ever after is one they’re both willing to pay…

Racing Wilde is a STANDALONE novel and part of the Playing For Love series that can be read in any order. If you like steamy, angsty, slow burn sports romances, then Landon & Georgie’s story is for you.
