#BookBlitz: It's Not Burnout It's Betrayal by Lora Cheadle @RABTBookTours


 

Five Tools to FUEL UP & Thrive


Business, Motivational

Date Published: January 21, 2025



According to the World Health Organization, burnout costs the U.S. over $500 billion annually. 

But what if it's not just burnout that’s leading to exhaustion and overwhelm? What if it's a sense of betrayal stemming from unmet expectations instead? 

The shocking truth is that, like burnout, a sense of betrayal can lead to disillusionment, resentment, and disconnection from others. Dissatisfaction will prevail until the root cause of those symptoms is identified and the correct solution applied.

This book provides readers with five tools to identify, manage, and prevent the root cause of burnout and feelings of betrayal. Thus, readers can rekindle enthusiasm, increase resilience, and stay engaged and innovative for the long haul.

Whether it's workplace culture, leadership, or work-life balance that's suffering, the FUEL UP Burnout Recovery Protocol will help. Learning to self-reflect, identify the root-cause of dissatisfaction, set and maintain boundaries, and advocate for yourself and the ideas that matter most are essential skills for leaders, managers, and employees alike.

Instead of quiet-quitting, or struggling to recruit or retain quality employees, you can develop the mindset and the skill set to thrive, and help others thrive, at work.

Gay Dark Fantasy Romance

Date Published: January 31, 2025

 

 

It takes a guardsman with the heart of a lion to love the hunt master and survive the wrath of the duke.

 

A chance encounter lands young Curran a coveted position as Duke Luthias’s personal guard, but his seeming good fortune soon sours as the evil and deception woven into the castle walls takes its toll.

Tanis, the lover the duke makes Curran surrender as part of his oath of loyalty, is the only man he can trust to help him stop the duke’s ill-fated campaign to punish the northern marauders. But Tanis has secrets of his own, and as much as he loves Curran, they could lose much more than their lives if he gets involved now.

When the raiders retaliate for the duke’s acts of war by laying siege to his castle, all three men are forced to take refuge within the fortified walls. Who lives and who dies will depend on one man having the heart of a lion.

How do you go from blind date to shotgun wedding in a single afternoon?
You catch the eye of a man like Maximo Leonotti, that’s how.

It’s not like he had to force me. I was hooked on the stormy-eyed stranger from the moment we met… right up until I felt the pinch in my arm.

The next thing I know, I’m waking up on his private jet, halfway to Las Vegas. Apparently, for an impromptu wedding. Our wedding.

That’s when the panic sets in. This can’t be happening. I’m Elira Përmeti, daughter of Afrim, leader of the Albanian mafia. If I go missing, all hell will break loose.

But when I tell Maximo, he just smiles. Turns out, he already knows all of my secrets, and now it’s time I hear one of his:

My father owes him a debt, and I’m the payment.

Devil’s Lily is a dual pov dark mafia romance featuring a possessive, ‘touch her & I’ll unalive you’ type anti-hero and a feisty, smart heroine. No OW drama, no cliffhanger, and a hard-won HEA.

Harleigh Sinclair and the Kingdom of the Bristol Skull
Tamara Grantham
(The Harleigh Sinclair, #4)
Publication date: February 4th 2025
Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance

An Egyptian ankh. An Inuit mask. A Skinwalker’s scythe.
Three Neotact artifacts have been found. Only the shield and sword remain.
My name is Harleigh Sinclair. I have a gift to find lost artifacts, though there are some who call it a curse…
When I discover a riddle etched inside a goldstone skull, it may be the clue I need to discover not only the Viking shield, but the famed sword of King Arthur, Excalibur.
After my father was attacked by a Blood Raider over a decade ago, and his sword stolen, my life’s mission has been to find his attacker and bring justice to our family. But before I can find the attacker, I must first discover the original four artifacts before the Blood Raiders obtain them first.
With the aid of the insufferable and dangerously handsome Jagg Ransom, plus my sister and a team of handpicked experts, we follow the riddle’s clues. Our search leads us from a Viking museum in Norway, to underground crypts in Bristol, England, and finally to a forest haunted by a legendary hellhound. But we’re not alone.
The Blood Raiders have gotten desperate. And they’ve been following us. If we don’t find the shield first, they’ll attain more power than we can comprehend, and not only will we fail, but we’ll be doomed to die at their hands.

#BookReview: Tempting Fate (Duplicity Trilogy #1) by Bella Faust




THE COMPLETE DUPLICITY TRILOGY IS NOW AVAILABLE TO BINGE READ! 

That's over 3,250 pages of realistically dark redemption traumance, filled with angst, betrayal, and lust set within a love triangle that everyone but the three stubborn souls involved saw coming years ago.

Tempting Fate is the first book in the Duplicity trilogy.

This steamy and taboo tale is full of the intense emotional themes that dark romance readers adore while playing into forbidden, age gap, and second chance tropes. If you are a fan of heartbreak and redemption, and enjoy a good grovel from your morally grey heroes, the Duplicity trilogy will tick all of your boxes... 


Almost five years ago, I played a stupid game, and just like the adage warns, I won a stupid prize.

A lifetime supply of trauma. 

Caught in the crossfire of an underworld battle that I wasn’t privy to until it was too late, I have found solace in the arms of my first love and peace in my deepening bond with my fiancé’s best friend. Between Zeke and Slash, I am over-protected, a little sheltered, but mostly happy. My dad’s motorcycle club acts as my buffer from reality. The escapades of my friends and my four brothers keep me safely entertained within my comfortable bubble.

Life is simple.

Life is good.

Until my violent ex-boyfriend is released from prison, and our lies and secrets blow up in our face once again… 

Zeke leaves me.

Slash declares his love.

And I find myself caught in the middle of another stupid game.

Reader discretion is advised, as this dark redemption traumance contains potentially triggering content. Please also be aware that this story is set in Australia and is written in UK English with liberal use of Aussie slang and vernacular.
