Series: Ruthless Billionaires #1
Author: Faith Summers
Genre: Dark Steamy Billionaire Romance
Tropes: Forced Proximity/Arranged Marriage
Release Date: September 3, 2023


BLURB

My villain. My monster. My Ruthless Knight…
Knight Grayson isn't just one of New York's elite billionaires.
He's the embodiment of Hades in a tailored suit and a beautiful devil waiting to destroy.
He always gets what he wants, no matter the cost.
Including me.

One harmless, sexy encounter places him in my path and before I know it, I'm caught in his strategic trap.
Although he insists I’m not his Persephone, he steals me away from my almost-fiancΓ©́.
And my life.

This isn’t like the mythical tale of old driven by love.
To him, I’m a pawn in a game of power because I have something he wants.
In order to build his empire and get his legacy, he needs my inheritance.
Since the only way to get that is to marry me, he forces my hand by using my father.

Six months of marriage, along with the ownership of my inheritance, and my father’s extortionate debts will go away.

To save my father, I signed Knight's contract, binding myself to every term and condition.
But then, the boundaries between us begin to blur.

Each public kiss, intended for show, feels dangerously genuine and pulses with undeniable attraction.
As his hunger for power evolves into a craving for me, we start to forget that our marriage is a contract.
Yearning for his touch was never part of the plan.
Neither was becoming his new obsession.

But when the veil lifts, revealing his dark secrets and twisted lies, we both realize we have more to lose than just ourselves.

Ruthless Knight is a billionaire, forced proximity, fake relationship, and arranged marriage novel inspired by the Hades and Persephone myth. It is a complete standalone with mature language, themes, and content intended for mature readers only.

#BookBlitz: Love at First Cowboy by @JennieMarts @XpressoTours $15 Amazon gift card



Love at First Cowboy
Jennie Marts
(Lassiter Ranch, #1)
Publication date: September 27th 2023
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Three abandoned cowboys, born in heartbreak and bonded by brotherhood, are brought together by the fierce love of the grandparents who took them in and the ranch that’s the only home they’ve ever known…

Surly cowboy, Ford Lassiter, named after the truck his dad was driving when he’d left him and his mother, has only known abandonment and doesn’t trust relationships—until he shares an intimate weekend at a wedding with a woman he met by chance. Now he can’t stop thinking about her and what could have happened if she hadn’t driven away from him too.

Tall and curvy, Elizabeth ‘Bitsy’ Cole, who is anything but bitsy, has spent her adult life wishing for change but is afraid to take risks. Then a crazy hot weekend with a cowboy finally gives her the courage to make some big changes in her life. She quits the family business to start her own accounting firm and buys a rundown farmhouse in the mountains with a yard for her dog, finally leaving her dinky apartment in the city that’s never quite felt like home.

So what happens when the handy-man she hires to help fix up the farmhouse turns out to be the same cowboy she spent that steamy weekend with? She thinks he was only with her out of pity and as a favor to the groom, but the looks he’s giving her now makes her wonder if there might be a chance for something more. If she has the courage to find out…

"I would advise you, young man, to take care around anyone with the surname Firefax. I know not if the rumors be true that they be king killers, but they are, without any doubt, a dangerous family."

 

Legend tells of a city of gold on a phantom island. The wealth of that city could end the American Revolution. But the only person who knows the island’s location is the world’s deadliest assassin. And he’s not giving up that secret without a fight . . .

1781. New England.

The world’s oldest family of high-profile assassins, the Firefaxes, have been killing off dignitaries—and being well-compensated to do so—for centuries. The family is thrown into turmoil by their patriarch’s death and the return of their cunning, cruel prodigal, Murdoch. Murdoch is the only one left who knows where the Firefax wealth is, kept on a secret island. But Murdoch’s former protΓ©gΓ©, now turned nemesis, IstΓ€ni, who is the leader of a British intelligence network, and Murdoch’s former colleagues from a Continental intelligence network are looking for that wealth. These spy networks are bent on tracking down the legendary treasure, whatever the cost, but may have met their match in this wily, dysfunctional family of killers.

#BookReview: Gearbreakers by Zoe Hana Mikuta






Synopsis: Two girls on opposite sides of a war discover they're fighting for a common purpose--and falling for each other--in Zoe Hana Mikuta's high-octane debut Gearbreakers, perfect for fans of Pacific Rim, Pierce Brown's Red Rising Saga, and Marie Lu's Legend series.

We went past praying to deities and started to build them instead...

The shadow of Godolia's tyrannical rule is spreading, aided by their giant mechanized weapons known as Windups. War and oppression are everyday constants for the people of the Badlands, who live under the thumb of their cruel Godolia overlords.

Eris Shindanai is a Gearbreaker, a brash young rebel who specializes in taking down Windups from the inside. When one of her missions goes awry and she finds herself in a Godolia prison, Eris meets Sona Steelcrest, a cybernetically enhanced Windup pilot. At first Eris sees Sona as her mortal enemy, but Sona has a secret: She has intentionally infiltrated the Windup program to destroy Godolia from within.

As the clock ticks down to their deadliest mission yet, a direct attack to end Godolia's reign once and for all, Eris and Sona grow closer--as comrades, friends, and perhaps something more...


#BookReview: Journey of Destiny (Titanian Chronicles, #1) by @Lawfabex @booksforwardpr






Synopsis: Afeclin walked nervously to the entry of the cottage. He held his breath as he passed over the threshold. A little cradle was the only piece of furniture left in the building. Afeclin touched the cradle delicately with one finger. All of a sudden he fell backward onto the floor as an image of the fire burst into his mind... He had seen a horrified face that screamed amongst red hot flames. Found beyond the Elvin borders, Afeclin, a human child, is taken in and raised by an Elvin King. Now grown and longing to learn about the mystic arts, he embarks on a journey back into a land now unfamiliar. Accompanied by his elvin friend, Wolflang, they leave their homes to seek out their destiny. Unbeknown to Afeclin and Wolflang however, the warlord, Moorlan and his confederate, a dark mage, are preparing to bring war to the peaceful Land of Marrapassa, putting their lives and those they care about, in danger.

Just when she’s ready to set off for college, a man from her past returns to stir up trouble, then students on campus start turning up dead. Worst of all, Simon’s been keeping late hours at work. Is it trouble in paradise, or can he be trusted? The more Allie learns about her past, the more secrets there are to unravel.
