{Cover Reveal} Unmaking Marchant by Ella James

I'm excited to have the opportunity to share the cover of Unmaking Marchant by Ella James with you today. If you haven't started Ella's Love Inc. series I highly recommend it for those who love a more mature and explicit read. The first book, Selling Scarlett, is currently FREE on Amazon!

Marchant Radcliffe, owner of the exclusive Love Inc. brothel outside Vegas, is no stranger to darkness. He lost his sister in childhood and his parents in college. Since his best friend helped him finance the Love Inc. ranch almost ten years ago, Marchant has drowned himself in business—and he’s thrived, despite the heavy secret that has plagued him since his parents’ deaths.

Then, after ten years of good fortune, Marchant’s skeletons start to peek out of the closet, tossing him down a trail of ruin that begins with arson and could end with murder. Because he’s kept his struggles private, he has no one to pull him back from the brink.

Except for Suri Dalton.

After a breakup with her longtime fiancé, Suri, the daughter of one of Silicon Valley’s tech tycoons, has nowhere to go except her BFF’s new penthouse in Las Vegas. The last thing Suri is looking for is a man, but after drowning her woes in wine on the flight over, she stumbles into a torrid make out session with a beautiful stranger—who just so happens to be Marchant Radcliffe, a playboy and a literal pimp.

Despite an immediate attraction, Suri writes Marchant off as exactly the sort of guy she should avoid. Until Love Inc. goes up in flames, Marchant winds up at the bottom of a swimming pool, and Suri is the only one around to pull him out.

What happens when what you see isn’t what you get? What do you do when destiny is too alluring to resist and too dangerous to survive?

{Cover Reveal} Tragic Love by M.S. Brannon

I'm excited to have the opportunity to share the cover of Tragic Love by M.S. Brannon with you today. This is the second book in the Sulfur Heights series. You can find my review of Scarred Love, the first book, here.

“From the moment I locked eyes with hers, we've had this undeniable connection that was and will always be wicked. A love that would literally kill me if it didn't survive, but lately, could kill me if it did.” ~Drake Evans.

For Drake and Presley, life has handed them more challenges than any one person should ever face in a lifetime. Together, they've survived Presley’s captivity from her deranged uncle, but now they must learn how to live with the events that surrounded her time spent with him, while keeping the details of her rescue a secret.

For Presley Quinn, living the last two years has been practically unbearable, constantly drowning in nightmares put there by a man responsible for the violent images continually playing in her mind. She keeps moving forward, but is barely clinging onto the edge when she’s faced with another obstacle from her past that is so unavoidable, so tragic, it threatens to break her apart—herself.

Drake will do anything to protect Presley from ever feeling pain again. His love is irrefutable. He walks side by side with her, vowing he will never let anyone harm her again. However, when an unexpected event turns Presley against everyone she’s ever loved, Drake is faced with trying to save the only woman he’s ever loved or severing the only lifeline she’s ever had—himself.

When she meets smoking hot tattoo artist Bennett, she wants him—for just one night. But he won't accept a no-strings-attached arrangement. He lives by a straight-laced code of values based on his own troubled upbringing.

Bennett sees something special in Avery and he wants more from her. Way more. As Avery wrestles with her emotions for Bennett, danger and tragedy force them to open up to each other. And Avery must face the terrifying realization that she wants more from him, too.

{Cover Reveal & Excerpt} Holding On by Emma Hart

I'm super excited to be sharing the cover of Holding On with you today! I loved Never Forget and can not wait to read this novella

BUT... before I get to the cover lets read what it's about.

Living in London after spending almost twenty years in a town with a population of three hundred would be hard on anyone – and Alec Johnson is no exception to the rule.

When Alec followed Lexy to London, he knew his life would change drastically. He just didn’t know how much. With Lexy’s friends and admirer to contend with, he has to show there’s more to the country surfer boy than is ability to ride the waves. With his own shameless admirers, he has to keep Lexy’s trust – and despite her love for him, that’s no easy task.

Beneath her tough girl exterior, all Jennifer Mason has ever wanted to do is paint. London’s School of Art can give her that, and she couldn’t be happier she’s finally breaking free from Lilac Bay. What she’s not happy about is having to leave Carl behind – or his reluctance to visit her while she’s studying.

Their relationship is put to the test as living on her own for the first time and university take their toll on Jen. After all, three hundred miles is a long way to be away from your boyfriend when you’re eighteen years old.

And it’s even harder when you can’t keep your eyes off your best friend’s older brother.

Sound good?

Ready for the cover?

Available April 22, 2013

JEN
     I stand, walking towards Bing. “Tell me this is some kind of ass wiping joke?”
     “I wish,” he replies, looking down at me. “Believe me, spending my evening with you wasn’t in my plan.”
     “So change it,” I hiss. “There is no way I’m spending all of Saturday night smiling and hanging onto your arrogant arm, Samuel!” Although, it is a very pretty arm.
     He sighs. “Look, Jennifer, I don’t exactly want you on my arm, but it’s too late to change it. Mum has already ordered matching outfits.”
     “Are you fucking kidding?” I deadpan. “Not only do I have to go with you, everyone will know I’m with you because, what? Your tie will match my dress?”
     “Oh, and there’s the brains she used to get into university,” he responds snarkily. “Yes, Jen. My tie is the same material and colour as your dress. Believe me, I’m not damn happy.”
     I heave in a breath. “This is gonna be as about as successful as Hades in the North Pole.” I throw my arms up, and turn back to Lexy’s bed. I throw myself face down on it.
     “I wouldn’t lie like that,” Bing says. “You have no idea what’s happened on that bed.”
     I get back up and growl. I push past him, moving to stomp down the stairs.
     “Hey, I was just saying!” he calls, following me.
     “Go away, Samuel. I want to see you as much as I want a shard of glass in my ass.”

By day, Emma Hart dons a cape and calls herself Super Mum to a terrible two year old. By night, she drops the cape, pours a glass of wine and writes books.
She likes to write about magic, kisses and whatever else she can fit into the story. Sarcastic, witty characters are a must. As are hot guys. She has two new series planned as well as her New Adult Romance, Never Forget, due February 2013. She likes to be busy - unless busy involves doing the dishes.
Her debut YA series, The Mauve Legacy, is an Apple iBooks Bestseller - and this makes Emma excited.

Released Today!!!

I feel Colt laugh, and he looks down into my face. That’s when he seems to realize what I’ve been acutely aware of for the last several minutes—our bodies are pressed together.

“It’s awesome, yeah?” he says. “Adrenaline rush.”

“Yeah,” I breathe. “I guess.”

I’m not sure if he’s going to kiss me until he does. His mouth covers mine, and energy mixes with the alcohol flooding my body. Our tongues slide together, and I grip his shirt so I don’t collapse. 

Every single bit of this is wrong, and there’s no way I’m stopping it. It’s back, that good feeling. The sadness has been pushed out again, and in its place is this rush, this rush of adrenaline like Colt said. 

He pulls back and smiles at me. “We’re going to start dating. Now. You’re my partner in crime.”

A student at the secured NYU, nineteen-year-old Nadine has visions of Victor Gianni, an imaginary guy she has real feelings for. Afraid of being truly insane, she explains the visions away as simple daydreams, but she can no longer deny them when she bumps into Victor in real life. But this Victor doesn’t know her, and turns her away. After the encounter, Nadine’s visions change to those of eerie fates, gods she’s never heard of, demons with sharp claws they are not too timid to use … and instructions.

But that’s only if the demons and the other evil forces behind the darkness don’t stop her first.

{Cover Reveal & Teasers} The Game Changer by J. Sterling

I'm beyond elated to have the opportunity to share the cover of The Game Changer by J. Sterling with you today. Some of you may remember the review I posted for The Perfect Game a few weeks ago. If not, go check it out. It was stunning and I completely adored Cassie. If you haven't read The Perfect Game go pick up a copy now!!

Anyways, as of right now there is no summary for The Game Changer, but it will be the continuation of Jack & Cassie's story.

Finally, the moment we've all been waiting for...the cover of the highly anticipated follow up to the USA Today Best Selling book, The Perfect Game by J. Sterling....

*SQUEE*
Honestly, I cannot wait to own a paperback of this!
Literally dying here.

The Game Changer
Coming 2013
(Date To Be Announced Soon!)

I have TWO teasers for you guys today...

One - From Jack's POV

        And just like that she was gone. But not before saying the two fucking words that plague my nightmares. This girl is always asking me to "prove it." I deserve it after everything I’ve put her through. She doesn’t trust me anymore.

        I wouldn’t trust me either.

        It’s ironic though right? That I’m the one left standing all alone in a parking lot this time. I swear if my heart could leap out of my chest and into my hands, it would. I imagined that for a moment…the blood trickling through my fingertips, splashing onto the concrete below as I watched it slowly pound out its last beats before stopping altogether.

        Fuck.

        My life does not make sense without this girl. And now she’s gone.

        Again.

        How is it that I’m always losing her?

Two - From Cassie's POV

        I closed my eyes, drinking in his vow. Part of me cringed, acknowledging the vulnerability that coursed within me. I needed to be stronger than this. But as much as I wanted to believe that Jack's mistake with Chrystle was a one time major screw up, I’d be lying to myself if I said I wasn’t fearful.

        I was.

        And I wasn’t sure how not to be.

       “Do you believe me?” he asked, his expression filled with worry.

        I fought back the tears that formed in my eyes, “I want to.” I longed to bottle my anxiety up and put it on a shelf where it only came out for special occasions, but I didn’t know how. Right now it lived on the outside of my skin, like an extra layer of warmth I couldn’t shed no matter how hot I became. My emotions had taken full control over every other part of me. I’d become victim to my own insecurities.

        “I’ll show you,” his forehead pressed against mine as he continued. “I’ll never lose you again.”

        “What if I want to be lost?” I teased with a serious tone and watched as he pulled his head from mine.

        “I won’t let you.”

        “You won’t let me?” I mocked, secretly loving the way he wanted me.

        Jesus Cassie, you’re a fucking nutcase right now. Pick an emotion. Pretend like you’re in charge here.

        “No. I won’t let you. End of discussion,” his mouth remained stoic.

        “That wasn’t really what one would consider a discussion.”

        “Because there’s nothing to discuss. I’m not leaving you ever again. And you’re not leaving me. No matter how pissed off I make you, or how frustrated. I fucking love you and I’m not going anywhere.”

        I attempted to fight back the smile that formed. “And I love you. But really, if you ever cheat on me again I’ll cut your nuts off and hang them from the Empire State Building.”

Excited Much?
YES!!!

{Cover Reveal} The Forgotten Ones by Laura Howard

I'm super excited to be sharing the cover of The Forgotten Ones by Laura Howard with you today, but before I get to the cover lets read what it's about.

Allison O'Malley just graduated from college. Her life's plan is to get a job and take care of her schizophrenic mother. She doesn't have room for friends or even Ethan, who clearly wants more.

When Allison's long-lost father shows up, he claims he can bring her mother back from the dark place her mind has sent her. He reveals legends of a race of people long forgotten, the Tuatha de Danaan, along with the truth about why he abandoned her mother.

And now for the cover....

Cover Designer: Stephanie Mooney

The Forgotten Ones is a 
New Adult Paranormal Fantasy Romance 
set to release on May 15, 2013.

Laura Howard is an author, a mother of 4 and a voracious reader.

Her obsession with books began at the age of 6 when she got her first library card. Nancy Drew, Sweet Valley High and other girly novels were routinely devoured in single sittings. Her mom took her to the library nearly everyday so she could get my fix!

Books took a backseat to diapers when she had her first child at the age of 21. It may seem young, but she always knew she wanted to be a stay-at-home mom –– She's kinda got this hardwired need to take care of people. It wasn’t until the release of a little saga called Twilight, 8 years later, that she rediscovered her love of fiction.

After co-authoring some fanfiction (just for fun), something unexpected happened: two fictional characters began inhabiting her thoughts. Soon after, more characters began to make themselves known. There was only one thing to do: Write the story that was in her heart.

Three years, hundreds of hours + several cups of coffee later, and she love the world she's created! She developed her website as a way to curate the wealth of information she's learned on her journey toward publication and to empower other women to write the books within their hearts.
