{EXCERPT}

She tried to stay on topic, but the man before her was nothing like the cool and distant philanthropist she knew. This now was the very enticing male who had carried her over Madame Ioshta's icy threshold, the one who had looked at her with haunted hunger in the tunnels, ready to sample every bit of her while holding himself back with immense self-control.

Except this time, the hunger was not for her blood. But for something entirely different.

Her body could not ignore the mix of danger and sexiness he exuded. And the crush she held for him flushed all over her. Every fiber of her body yearned for the totality of his essence.

She edged closer to him with a tentative hand on his shoulder, wanting to confess her mounting feelings for him. "Val, I—"

"Ma belle." Something heavy passed between them. His cheek brushed hers as he whispered against her ear. "I know."

He slid a hand on the bare skin of her back and her knees buckled at the electrifying touch. She would have fallen if his thighs hadn't trapped her deliciously against him.

His breath was on her temple, his arms around her waist, his broad chest gently brushed against hers. "You smell so good," he said. "Like the spring rain."

As he inhaled deeply against her earlobe, a thousand sensations scattered through her.

She anchored the crook of her arm behind his corded neck. Her free palm splayed wide to settle on his chest between the two of them, just there at the swell of his taut muscles.

He pulled her in closer and she fell into his embrace, tilting her head back at him. "Mon ange," he groaned slowly against her cheek.

Her heart hammered wildly, her chest searing with pent-up cravings as she turned her mouth against his and gently brushed his lips with hers.

"Seigneur," he cursed.

Then, as if it was all he needed to act, he responded with a powerful kiss, his passion released in a broken dam of cravings.

Faking it for the Holidays

by Lia Davis

Julius probably shouldn’t be as happy as he was about his parents going on a cruise the week of Christmas. But he was. For the first time since he met his best friend and future wife—although she didn’t know that yet—he would be able to spend a normal, quiet, holiday season with Tara.

Just the two of them.

Was it wrong that he wanted to spend Christmas with his best friend, alone?

They didn’t have to listen to his parents, especially his mom, go on and on about how they should get married and give her beautiful grandbabies. It was embarrassing and made things awkward between them for the whole trip to Oregon to spend Christmas with his parents.

Tara had always been fantastic about his crazy family, which made her even more perfect for him. She never complained. She fit right in with them and humored his mom when she started in about the future of their lives and how they weren’t getting any younger.

The whole thing made him hesitate to ask Tara to marry him. He didn’t want her to think he was pressured into proposing, which he wasn’t. He loved her from the moment they met as kids.

He wanted to show her how much he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, without the pressure of his family lurking and watching them. Yessir, this year was going to be different.

He had Tara to himself.

His cell rang and he snatched it up from the kitchen counter where he was prepping movie-night snacks for him and Tara. It was their usual Saturday night “date” to make fun of bad movies. Not looking at the screen and thinking it was Tara, he said, “You better not be backing out on tonight.”

There was a long few moments of silence. Jules’ heart dropped to his feet. She wasn’t coming over. He’d spent all week gathering the courage to finally tell her how he felt. That he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her and not as just her best friend. He wanted more. “Tara?”

“Oh, no silly. It’s your mother. Don’t you check the caller ID?”

Damn. “Mom. How are you? Are you on the ship?”

She let out a disappointing sigh. “Sadly, no. The cruise was canceled last minute. That means we’re staying home for Christmas. You’re coming, right?”

Murder on the Sugarland Express
by Angie Fox
Release Date: November 21st 2017 by Moose Island Books
Series: 252
Pages: Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries #6
Genres: Cozy Mystery, Paranormal
Author's Links: Goodreads, Website, Twitter, Facebook


Ghost hunter Verity Long is overdue for a little R&R (rest and romance) with her boyfriend, Ellis, and a vintage train trip through the Tennessee mountains seems like just the ticket. The Sugarland Express carries history and nostalgia in every compartment, and Verity is determined to enjoy it—without ghostly interference. But the ghosts have other plans…

On a dark, desolate night nearly a century ago, the train was stranded in the mountains, and a young woman was found stabbed to death in her locked compartment. The murder was never solved, and a ghostly Belgian detective is still pursuing the case from the grave.

To Verity’s dismay, all of the ghostly suspects are back. And when history repeats itself and a new murder mirrors the old, it’s up to Verity and her friends to discover which of the passengers—dead or alive—could be behind the murders before the killer strikes again.

Lash
by L.G. Castillo
Release Date: September 13th 2017
Series: Broken Angel #1
Pages: 270
Genres: Romane, Paranormal
Author's Links: Goodreads, Website, Twitter


An angel's rules were simple: obey the Archangels, don't show yourself to humans, and never fall in love with one.

Lash broke them all.


Banished to Earth for defying the archangels, Lash is given one last chance to redeem himself. His mission is simple: protect Naomi Duran, a captivating young woman lost in grief. The assignment proves to be anything but simple when the Archangels withhold key information about Naomi and refuse to restore Lash's powers. When an unexpected source reveals centuries-old secrets, his trust is shaken to the core, and he begins to doubt those whom he had once considered to be his greatest allies.

Determined to avoid anything that would risk his chances of returning home, Lash struggles with the greatest obstacle of all--his growing feelings for Naomi. But when her life is threatened by an unknown source, Lash questions the wisdom of the Archangels and his ability to keep her safe. Soon, Lash will have to choose where to place his trust--in the home he has fought so hard to regain or in the forbidden love he can't bear to lose.
