Stroked
Lena Lucas - 2020
Mesmerized. Obsessed.Daisy walked into that bar on New Year’s Eve looking like she wanted to run in the other direction, like she was out of her element.And it made me desire her even more. She seemed shy, so very innocent, and young… maybe too young for me.But I knew nothing could keep me from her. So I approached her with every intent that no matter what, I’d make her realize we were meant to be in each other’s life. We spoke for hours, nestled in the corner in our own world.It was perfection, and the first time I ever felt complete.And then I kissed her, that age old tradition when the clock struck midnight on New Year’s. I didn’t expect her to wrap herself around me. I didn’t expect her to whisper for me to take her home.But what Daisy didn’t know was that she’d awoken something in me that I didn’t know was dead. She was the first woman to make my heart start beating, to make me fall in love. It was fast, instantaneous. It was the feeling a man got when he bonded with a woman, when his soul imprinted on hers.I was possessive, territorial. No one would tell me it was too fast. Not when nothing had ever felt more right.At the end of the night, until the end of the world, Daisy would know without a doubt that she was mine and mine alone.Lena’s note: I know you like them fast and right to the point so don’t worry, this one gives you all the goods but with a healthy dose of romance thrown in. An age gap celibate hero and virgin heroine story to whet your appetite! Enjoy this good old-fashioned safe smut-fest.
Made for the Mafia Boss
Cameron Hart - 2020
My men caught a spy down by the old abandoned shipyard and now I have to deal with him or else risk losing this alliance. Turns out the spy isn’t a man. It’s a woman. A lovely woman who says she was taking photos for her bookstagram account. Whatever that is. I can hardly take in her words, because her eyes are piercing my chest, right where my heart would be if I had one. They are crystal blue, almost transparent in this lighting. I can see fear in her clear blue irises, but also a quiet determination. This isn’t the first time she’s been threatened. I can’t let her go. I have to protect this angel.Darlene: I was just taking pictures! I swear, I didn’t know anyone else even knew about the creepy abandoned shipyard. The thugs who kidnapped me, however, don’t let me defend myself before putting a bag over my head and shoving me in a car. The worst part is, they threw my books away in the dumpster. That’s just rude and unnecessarily cruel. Before I know what’s happening, I’m dragged into a room that smells like cedar and spice. When the bag is removed from my head, I’m greeted with the culmination of every book boyfriend I’ve ever had. And apparently he’s the guy in charge who gets to decide my fate. Ninety-nine percent of me is filled with abject terror. But one, teeny, tiny percent of me can’t help but feel like I’m finally having an adventure of my own.MADE FOR THE MAFIA BOSS has all of the things you've come to expect from my books: Lots of sweet, plenty of heat, and just enough drama to keep things interesting.
