Title: To Catch A Flame Author: Lily Freeman Genre: Erotic Romance Publisher: Fifth Star North Release date 1st December 2016 A contemporary erotic, BDSM novel. 112,000 words After PJ and Luke’s final volatile encounter, she struggles to cope, but she’s not alone. Mika and Elliot have moved into her home, her bed—stripping her bare and stealing her heart. PJ’s no longer terrified of the man who tried to break her, just terrified of falling in love with the two men she knows she can never have. Or can she? All it takes is a confession, one little word, and her entire world tilts abruptly. What they’ve hidden from her is the sweetest of betrayals, and PJ’s devastated by it, yet she just can’t fight the pull towards them any longer. The love they have for her, and each other is intense and all consuming, but something’s not right. It’s subtle at first, a word, a gesture, a pair of handcuffs—an exchange of power. Despite her trepidation, her trust in them allows PJ to explore the things about herself that Luke tried to destroy, and she does until she’s faced with a soul-breaking ultimatum. Secrets and lies, wants and needs. Once again, PJ finds herself completely bound by someone else's desires, only this time, there’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. This time, she’s forced to face her fears so that she can claim the hearts of the two men who were always meant to be hers. I didn't discover writing like most authors do. There was no childhood dream, no undeniable urge to put pen to paper. My story started off with an unexpected life changing event : a sizeable tax refund and a water-taxi ride caught from the wrong side of the Thames. I've always been an avid reader and a daydreamer, so when an idea for a novel was born from those three seemingly unrelated events, I ran with it. That idea became an obsession and also a passion. My characters are big and bold, the men are dominant to a fault and the women are strong and sassy. I'm fascinated by the concept of fate. One decision causing another and another, all of them having consequences which ultimately draw my characters together only to tear them apart. There will always be a happy ending, because there's no denying, I'm a romantic at heart - but a little pain woven amongst all that pleasure makes for a very explosive plot. When I'm not writing or meticulously plotting my next novel, I am a wife and a mother. I have a healthy appetite for physically challenging sports and I love coffee. If all else fails you'll find me reading a book which was how my journey began and will no doubt be how it will end. Lily.

Title: Mafia Princess Author: Bella J Release Date: December 6th Cover by: Lee Ching of Under Cover Designs Rules. I’m starting to think I have the natural talent to break them. I hate rules. Always have. Especially since I had them shoved in my face my entire life. I didn’t ask to be a part of all this. I didn’t ask to be a Valenti. And I sure as hell didn’t ask to be bound by all their goddamn rules. Their rules are exactly that. Theirs. Not mine. It’s been years since I broke one of my family’s most cardinal laws. It was a mistake, I know that now. But that’s the thing about mistakes, you never know you’re about to make one until it’s too late. Unfortunately every transgression, every wrong decision has a way to demand atonement. No matter if it’s hours, days or years after. You might think your indiscretions are long forgotten and buried, but it’s not. You’ll never be free of it, not until you’ve paid in full. I’m still waiting for my past mistakes to exact payment. It’ll come. I know it will. But now, while I’m sitting in the interrogation room staring at the sinfully gorgeous Detective Lorik Stone, I can’t help but think about all my family rules… …and that I’m about to break another one. Bella J lives in Cape Town, South Africa with her husband and two kids. Her love for writing started in eighth grade when she received her first writing assignment--which she flunked. But the positive side of her failure--her newly found passion for writing. The negative side--now she's completely spaced out half of the time living in her little pretend world of romance, love, & insanely hot heroes.

Love should make your heart soar - not break it apart Love should make you feel safe - not broken and vulnerable. I don’t want to feel like this anymore. Marcus Anger shouldn't be all-consuming. Anger at her for leaving me Anger at her for showing for me that life could be more - and making me crave it. I don’t want to feel like this anymore. Two damaged people, free-falling through life. Two friends. Two choices. Two questions. If you’re unable to save yourself, can you really help anyone else? Can happy-ever-afters exist if you no longer believe in fairy tales? Friends told me how sorry they were – but it wasn’t their fault. They told me I needed to move on - as if it were that fucking easy, and I could just pick up and carry on. They apologised for my loss – as if I’d misplaced an item of value, instead of the person that had helped hold me together, all the broken, messed-up pieces of me…It devalued her and everything that we had, and I hated that they could make such stupid, thoughtless and ridiculous statements. I knew they cared and I knew they were concerned, but it took all my willpower not to punch them and tell them to fuck off and leave me alone. I couldn’t give them what they wanted from me. I didn’t want to talk. I didn’t want to feel… GL Chapple is a welsh author that strongly believes she was born in the wrong country.

That I would be swept away from the hell I lived in. She was right about one thing and so wrong about the other. Heaven came in the form of an angel just like she said. Beautiful. Perfect. An angel.

I've fallen in love with Lou-Lou. And I'll stop at nothing to keep her away from you. But there's one thing I never counted on... The moment when our 'truths' would turn into lies. I thought Bruno DeLuca was our biggest threat. I was wrong. Because the fire burning between us—would end up destroying us. And killing me. *** People think love conquers all. What they don't know is that for some of us...it comes at a price. The ultimate price. Sometimes, love can end up wrecking you—instead of saving you. Sometimes, love can quickly turn to hate. And sometimes...even after you've killed your demons—there's still one more that comes to the surface. "There are two sides to every story...this is ours." Warning: Due to strong language, some violence, explicit sexual content, and some dark elements, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18. *Trigger Warning*: Any readers with sensitivity to dark reads should proceed with caution and at their own risk. You've been warned. Author's Note: This is part two of a three-book series. (Blame It on the Shame: Lou-Lou and Ricardo's story.) However, in order to truly enjoy Lou-Lou and Ricardo's story, it is advised you read 'Blame It on the Pain' first as this story will follow the same timeline. I don't know where he is...but I know he's close. I open my eyes and blink rapidly due to the rain coming down much harder now. Tingles erupt on my skin and the air thickens when I look ahead and see the outline of him walking. Only he's not walking toward me, he's walking away from me. He must have just left. When he takes another step, I realize he's not actually walking at all...he's stumbling. He holds his arm out, bracing himself against the alley wall briefly and I continue to watch him. He waits a beat and attempts to walk again, but stumbles...even worse this time. I've never seen Ricardo so out of sorts before. Panic jams in my chest with my next thought. Oh, god. What if he's hurt? What if someone attacked him? And just like that, I'm running as fast as I can to get to him. Since he's less than a block away, I catch up quickly. His back is turned to me but I reach for his arm as he begins to sway. His arm twitches and I can feel the chords of his muscles begin to tighten. Shit, he's going to take a swing. He hates being touched. “It's just me,” I say quickly. “Only me.” “I know it's you.” His voice comes out slurred and gruff. “Are you okay?” He yanks his arm away. “I'm fine. Leave me the fuck alone. I don't need your help.” I force myself to ignore the sharp sting of his words before slowly backing away from him. He falls against the alley wall and hangs his head. “Christ, I hate it when Tyrone's right. I'm never drinking again.” “Famous last words,” I say before I can stop myself. Memories of the day we first met and when he said those very same words to me begin to play through my head like a slideshow... At least, until his head snaps up and he shoots me a look so threatening the entire world stops. “Fuck you,” he spews. I'm a lover of psychology, romance, erotica, dark romance, dark erotica, and anything thought provoking...except for math. I've always read books growing up, and after having a strange dream one night; I decided to just go for it and publish my first series. Little did I know, I would end up falling head over heels in love with writing.
