Saviour by Andie M Long Book Blitz!

Saviour – (n.) A person who rescues another from danger or harm.

Taken into care, then ignored by ambivalent foster parents, Eden Stark seeks happiness through pleasure. Tired of one night stands she knowingly takes a job as a personal assistant for a couple, where the personal extends to their bedroom. When Eden goes missing, along with her employers, is she on holiday or has she been abducted?

Xavier Harrington, a one-night stand, is the last person to have seen her alive. As he assists the detectives in locating Eden, his friend Jane wonders if he has genuine feelings for Eden or is trying to save her because he couldn’t save his mother.

Will Eden be found and if so, can two broken people save each other?

18+ contains dark themes and explicit content.

Snippet 1:

‘I don’t think she’s right for us,’ says Sienna. ‘Yes she’s fantastic for the PA position, but what about other things? Look at how she’s dressed. She comes across as closed off, aloof. Very professional.’
I hear Sienna sigh. ‘The whole idea is stupid. Let’s see if she’d like the PA post. She’d be great at project managing the renovations with her business brain and we know she’s okay in the kitchen. We’ll look for someone else to live in with us or carry on as we have been. As if we can gradually drop in to conversation, oh we find you attractive, are you up to sleeping with us?’
I gasp. So it’s true.
Rushing back to the lounge, I reckon I’ve got one last shot at this.
I shrug off my jacket and place it on the back of the sofa. Then I remove my skirt and place it on top of the jacket. I’m wearing hold-up black stockings. You can see the edge of them below my white shirt. My fingers quickly undo the top two buttons of my blouse so that you can see my black lacy bra peeking out. Removing my hair from its bun, I shake it out, knowing from experience that it will fall in waves past my shoulders. Placing myself on the edge of the sofa, I sit up straight and cross my right leg over my left. If I’ve got this wrong, I’ll be leaving this property extremely red faced and half naked.
The door swings open. ‘So thanks for coming. I’m afraid we can only offer you-’ Jack stops short as he takes in the sight in front of him. He steps out into the hallway, ‘Sienna. Could you come back in for a moment?’
A few awkward seconds pass where I feel like an exhibit in an Amsterdam window. Then Sienna comes back through with another sigh. ‘Is there a problem?’
Jack gestures towards me.
‘Oh.’
I peer up at them. ‘Can we start my interview again?’


Snippet 2:

I put my hand on her chin and tilt her face towards me. ‘Why won’t you look at me?’
She hesitates before answering. ‘Who wants to come face to face with a one-night stand in the cold light of day?’
I flinch. ‘Of course.’
She pushes back a piece of that long dark hair from her face. Once again it's like I can feel it in my grasp.
‘I’d better get my shopping put away.’
‘I want to meet you again.’ I tell her.
‘Eden. Is everything okay?’ I turn my head and see a man walking from the set-back house. He extends a firm hand, ‘I’m Jack Loxley, Eden’s employer. You are?’
His tone has an edge to it. As if I’ve been found upsetting his employee rather than helping. I’m thrown off guard.


Snippet 3:

I feel like the walls of the room are closing in. Like I’m going to die. I need to try to sleep. To try to get some energy and a break from my whirling thoughts and utter panic. However, as still as I lie there, sleep won’t come. Because I fear what will happen when that door next opens.
Once again using the bathroom, as adrenaline empties my body of its excreta, I sit with my head in my hands. When I raise my head, I see writing scratched into the wall at the bottom of the sink. It’s barely discernible. I crouch down and squint my eyes. I can just make out the faint words etched there.
Welcome to Hell.

Lady Be Good by Heather Hiestand Cover Reveal!


LADY BE GOOD 
by Heather Hiestand

Genre: Historical Romance
Pub Date: 9/5/2017


When exiled royalty and espionage combine, expect a romance as bold as the 1920s . . .
Olga Novikov is a princess without a throne. Her fiancé and her family slain in the revolution, she flees Russia and finds herself working as the head of housekeeping at London’s luxurious Grand Russe Hotel. It’s a far cry from the glamour of her former life, but she’s grateful for the job—until a guest forces her to question where her loyalty lies. The charming nobleman challenges her at every turn—and arouses dreams of romance she thought she’d abandoned forever . . .
Douglas “Glass” Childers is living a double life. On the surface, he’s the indolent Viscount Walling, but in truth he’s an intelligence agent searching for a Bolshevik weapons master. The coolly beautiful and headstrong housekeeper is a distraction he doesn’t need—unless she’s the key piece in the puzzle he must solve. Trusting her could be dangerous—but loving her is an undeniable temptation . . .



Heather Hiestand was born in Illinois but her family migrated west before she started school. Since then she has claimed Washington State as home, except for a few years in California. She wrote her first story at age seven and went on to major in creative writing at the University of Washington. Her first published fiction was a mystery short story, but since then it has been all about the many flavors of romance. Heather’s first published romance short story was set in the Victorian period and she continues to return, fascinated by the rapid changes of the nineteenth century. The author of many novels, novellas and short stories, she makes her home in a small town with her husband and son and supposedly works out of her tiny office, though she mostly writes in her easy chair in the living room.

New faces and mysterious secrets—hidden technology, lies, and darkness—from within The Rising shake the balance of their trust.

Author Bio:
J. Kowallis, the only girl of four children, grew up in northern Utah with a head full of wild stories (most often unreal). At the age of 9, she wrote her first poem, a dedication to E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web. It was so intriguing, her third grade teacher requested to keep the original. Between living in various fictional worlds, and spending time on her studies, she managed to graduate from Weber State University’s creative writing program. She now lives in Utah with her Mini Schnauzer, Etta, and spends most of her time still bouncing between this world and the fantastical while enjoying delectable über-dark chocolate and lavender baths. She enjoys dreaming about, flying to, and writing about distant lands (real or unreal).

Valentine Countdown Blitz - Day 10!





Cassie has loved stories since she was little. Her love of writing started even before she could write words. She was one to be found, reading late into the night (wait, she still does that!), on the school bus or before she did her homework. In middle school she determined that she liked creating her own stories as much as she liked reading them; so she decided she wanted to be an author and keeps working on making that dream come true with every story idea that bounds into her head.

After a failed attempt on her life leaves her without a name and her memories. Lady A must fight to regain them in order to help the handsome prince defeat the madman, who is threatening their kingdom. But will she remember in time? Or will she lose everyone and everything she loves? Excerpt: He slowly raised his eyes to mine; the look I saw there caused a shiver to run down my arms, prickling my skin. I pulled my arms tight to my chest, attempting to stop the cold feeling from spreading. "You have to get out of here, now!" he gasped. "Dan, what happened?" He shook his head and looked at the floor. "Tell me!" "There is no time, they are coming for you.”

Shopping for a Billionaire’s Honeymoon by Julia Kent Book Blitz and Giveaway!


Shopping for a Billionaire’s Honeymoon
Julia Kent
Publication date: January 31st 2017
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Romance
He is addicted to his phone and his new role as CEO. I’m addicted to getting some on my own honeymoon.
One of these things is not like the other.
I am pretty sure a serial killer’s lair is the only place in the world where I could stash my new husband so he can’t manage the acquisition of our new company.
And that seems a little drastic.
But only a little…
All I want is one week alone with him. Hours in bed, legs tangled together in ecstasy, room service and long walks on the beach in Hawaii.
Not vying for his kisses around a Bluetooth microphone. The Borg aren’t sexy in real life.
So I’m taking matters into my own hands and hitting “reboot” on our honeymoon.
We’re going to a place so remote that no one can find us.
Not even my mother.

Shopping for a Billionaire’s Honeymoon is now a full-length book of 150+ pages, with both Shannon and Declan’s points of view. Originally published with only Shannon’s viewpoint, this expanded edition is a result of reader feedback. People wanted to know what Declan was up to – so here you go. This book is meant to be read after Shopping for a Billionaire’s Wife and/or Shopping for a CEO’s Fiancée, but if you read it out of order (or even as a standalone), that’s fine. Shannon and Declan forgive you.
EXCERPT:
Shannon
Let’s do an inventory of this fine day. My day-after-I-got-married day. In Vegas.
After fleeing my Momzilla mother.
Today is supposed be Day One of my honeymoon after marrying the billionaire of my dreams.
(Let’s not count the night before).
Woke up to the lovely sight of my husband’s tousled dark hair sliding down my torso so he could feast on me for breakfast.
Had actual breakfast in bed after room service delivered mixed berries, cream, bacon, and maple-soaked carrot-cake french toast, and the best damn coffee on the planet from the coffee chain I now own.
Made love with my delightful husband in the giant jetted bathtub in our suite. Turns out I’m as bendy as a Cirque du Soleil performer when I need to be. Maybe Mom’s insistence that I attend all those yoga classes she teaches has a silver lining after all.
Dressed and prepared to hop the corporate jet for Hawaii, kisses interspersed between readying ourselves for the trip. Undressed twice. Dressed twice. Declan insisted I not wear panties for the plane trip.
“But I’m already a member of the Mile High Club,” I’d protested.
“Not as a wife.”
He had a point.
Panties abandoned.
Found his brother, my best friend, a former colleague and an Anterdec chauffeur all married to each other.
Notice something a little different about that last one?
Yeah. Me too.
Day One of my honeymoon had promise, but now? Now it’s a little too real.
We’re on the plane, settling into our seats, and I’m doing my best not to think about my poor best friend and her chaotic mess back at the Anterdec resort where Declan and I just spent nearly a week trying to figure out our entire life.
Which we did, successfully, to my utter surprise. After fleeing our wedding in a helicopter and lying to my Momzilla mother, we managed to get to Las Vegas, ensconced in a resort on the Vegas Strip that Declan had designed himself as an intern in college. By the time my crazy family caught up to us, we’d steeled ourselves for the inevitable fallout.
And got so much more than we expected, in more ways than one. We’re married now. Husband and wife.
That’s really all that matters.
That, and honeymoon sex.
Lots and lots and lots of honeymoon sex. It’s my wifely right to walk funny for the next few days.
And his husbandly duty to make it so.


Author Bio:
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Julia Kent writes romantic comedy with an edge. From billionaires to BBWs to new adult rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy joy in every contemporary romance she writes. Unlike Shannon from Shopping for a Billionaire, she did not meet her husband after dropping her phone in a men's room toilet (and he isn't a billionaire). She lives in New England with her husband and three sons in a household where the toilet seat is never, ever, down.
