Saffron A. Kent – California Dreamin’

May 1, 2020May 1, 2020 Cierra's CornerLeave a comment

Release Date: May 14

Everyone thinks Dean Collins is too old for Fallon Blackwood. Her parents, her friends, even Dean himself.

In fact, he wants her to date guys her own age. But Fallon doesn’t care about that.

All she cares about is that she can’t take his eyes off Dean, her neighbor, her best friend, the guy who taught her to ride a bike and to climb trees.

All she cares about is that sometimes Dean can’t take his eyes off her, either. And that sometimes he looks at her like he wants to kiss her.

So it doesn’t matter that he’s thirty-two and she’s eighteen.

All that matters is that they belong with each other, and she needs to convince him of that.

Good thing they’re taking a cross-country road trip together, right?

California to New York; three thousand miles and a love story in the making…

*Featuring Simon Blackwood and Graham Edwards from ‘The Heartstone Series.’

**This is a STANDALONE NOVELLA. It was released as a part of Mixtape Anthology. Since then, it has been revised and expanded and re-titled.

Excerpt

I reached for the hand laying lightly curled in her lap, and
as though I had every right to, drew it into my other hand, laying it there,
the palm facing upward. With the index finger of the first hand, I traced
simple and repetitive patterns in her palm. Neither of us spoke, as though
hypnotized by the motion, and the silence between us was leaden with more unspoken
words than the Library of Congress.

I couldn’t tell if the shit between us, the extremely
weighty baggage, was piling higher or dissolving, but either way, I felt a
distinct shift take place in that moment. Looking into Melissa’s eyes I was
sure she felt it too. Life is made up of moments. Some meaningful, some not.
Some pivotal, some inconsequential. Some memorable, some forgettable. Some
joyful, some regrettable. I took a facsimile of this one in my mind. I
knew I’d be referring back to it often. It was meaningful, pivotal, memorable
and joyful. It was a new beginning after an old end.

I was the first to break the spell, though not with words.
With the hand that had been circling Mel’s palm, I gently raised her chin,
still staring directly into her eyes, before looking down slightly at the
rhythmic rise and fall of her chest as it became more erratic. Her gaze didn’t
waver, and as I raised my eyes again to meet hers, they were there waiting for
me. I wanted to smile, to do something to acknowledge the moment, but my
features wouldn’t play ball. All I could do was stare, naked desire ablaze in
my eyes.

I leaned forward, resting my forehead to hers, my breathing
now mirroring hers in rapid stuttering jolts, each one tearing through my lungs
like I’d run a marathon. I waited for her to say or do something. To encourage
me or warn me off. She kept deadly still. Again the onus was on me, to make a
move. I hesitated again, knowing we were headed for the point of no return, if
we hadn’t already passed it. I knew that if we crossed this line, there was no
going back. I waited a beat more, buying myself time to back out. To think
reasonably and rationally about what I was doing, and act accordingly.

Screw that. The moment was there and then gone, and I knew
that forward was the only direction we’d be moving, even if it felt far riskier
than going backwards. I tilted my head slightly, angling my lips towards hers
before lightly grazing hers with mine. Christ. I knew there and then that I
should stop, that this wasn’t going to end well. I mean, who was I kidding, it
had already ended badly for us in the past, why would this time be any
different?

Blurb

He was King of Arcadia Prep until she came for his
throne…

ARIANNA

We moved around a lot, too much.

The shine of my highly respected and decorated military dad’s badge wore off
after I became heavy baggage.

I was the new girl thirteen times in two years and every time I had to tape up
another box I grew more resentful. Forced to forget everyone I fell in love
with, laughed with and bonded with.

For a certain price you could unburden yourself from your hormonal teen at
Arcadia Prep too.

I’m reckless.

I’m impatient.

Purple hair, a don’t care attitude and my Doc Martens all screamed leave me
alone, fending off any new relationships.

I vowed to keep my heart safe this time, locking it away right under my anger
but he knew exactly where I hid the spare key – in his mysterious eyes the
minute ours locked.

BOLTON

I was stuck – the essence of a God in some kind of limbo of high school.

I was meant for more than this.

Being king here meant nothing.

Arcadia Prep wasn’t for the weak. The expectations, the pressure, the standards,
the success and privilege smug on everyone’s face wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

I thrived in chaos.

I’m fearless.

I’m ruthless.

The new girl was not my cup of tea.

She stomped her Doc Martens all over my tradition, rules and my reign.

We all have secrets. Mine were paper weighted down by my heavy crown.

Her violet eyes and her abrupt attitude spewed sass all over my black on black.
She didn’t faze me until I realized she was after my crown…

Excerpt

BOLTON

I heard footsteps
long before I reached the door alerting me someone was trespassing. Quietly I
stood in the doorway searching the room for culprit when I should have guessed.

Arianna. New girl.

Her fingers danced
on the surfaces as her curiosity took it all in. There was no way to warn
people that I was in a dangerously ruthless mood, to warn her.

“You’re gonna
graduate from new girl to felon if
you don’t start following the rules.”

She laughed and
something about the casual attitude around the word felon made it seem like she
knew trouble better than I did.

“Been there, done
that, wasn’t worth the t-shirt or the keychain.”

I plopped down in
the chair I put there years ago now, tired of getting drunk and doing the same
shit. I rather do it alone then with people I hardly like. That’s why I come
here to hide during parties.

She finally let eyes
gloss over me and her face whines at the cut on my lip. I almost thought she
physically got hurt, too bad suffering isn’t transferable.

“What the fuck
happened to you?”

That sounded like a
real concern, in all it’s displaced glory. Stern, demanding, even judgement –
all here.

“Well, not that it’s
your business, but I finally got what I deserved for my mouth.”

She fearlessly
walked right over to me standing between my legs and leaned down to get a
better look. Her deep blues rimmed with violet to match her hair, reminded me
of the sky when it got tie-dyed right
before sundown, as she inspected my wound that stopped hurting the more I
pushed the beer bottle to my lips over and over.

Better than the
golden hour before the all the colors turned black and nothing was covered in
the pretty filter. That summed up Arianna.

“Well deserved
doesn’t make it hurt less.”

She was wrong. It
actually did.

“Are you gonna kiss
it better?”

She actually half
scuffed, half snorted with laughter like I wasn’t being serious. I was in a
despicable and semi-diabolical mood hellbent on the two B’s that teenagers
values. Beers and Babes. The third B (bongs) was out since I couldn’t get
caught with shit in my system during a pee test.

Arianna wasn’t half
bad looking if I looked past her immature tantrum leading to her purple hair.
Her skin shimmered like it was actually happy and her lips were almost always
smiling. In this moment she was half goddess, but I couldn’t forget she was
always half Hell.

My own personal
hell.

I let my hand touch
her thigh so she knew I was serious even though I was slumped down and
perpetually board.

“What are you doing?
We hate each other remember?”

“Hate me tomorrow.”

MERCHANDISE

Penelope Douglas – Nightfall (Devil’sNight,#4)

February 14, 2020 Cierra's CornerLeave a comment

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas comes the thrilling, final installment in the Devil’s Night series…

EMORY

They call it Blackchurch. A secluded mansion in a remote, undisclosed location where the wealthy and powerful send their misbehaving sons to cool off away from prying eyes.

Will Grayson has always been an animal, though. Reckless, wild, and someone who was never bound by a single rule other than to do exactly what he wanted. There was no way his grandfather was going to risk him humiliating the family again.

Not that the last time was entirely his fault. He might’ve enjoyed backing me into corners in high school when no one was looking, so they wouldn’t catch on that Mr. Popular actually wanted a piece of that quiet, little nerd he loved to torture so much, but…

He could also be warm. And fierce in keeping me safe.

The truth is… He has a right to hate me.

It’s all my fault. Everything.

Devils Night. The videos. The arrests.

I’m to blame for all of it.

And I regret nothing.

WILL

I never minded being locked up. I learned a long time ago that being treated like an animal gives you permission to act like one. No one has ever looked at me any other way.

Their only mistake is believing anything I do is an accident. I can sit in this house with no Internet, television, liquor, or girls, but I’ll come out of here with something far more frightening to my enemies.

A plan.

And a new pack of wolves.

I just didn’t expect one of my enemies to come to me.

I don’t know who smuggled her in or if they meant to leave her here, but I can smell her hiding in the house. She’s here.

And as the security detail leaves the supplies, the gates close, and the door to my gilded cage opens, giving me free reign of the house and grounds for another unsupervised month, I remember with a smile…

Blackchurch houses five prisoners. I’m only one of her problems.

*Nightfall, Devil’s Night #4, is a full-length, romantic suspense suitable for readers 18+. It’s necessary to read the prior installments in the series before starting this story.

Beautiful, brooding, and untouchable.
I knew it was a bad idea. He warned me himself.

It was perfect…
Until it wasn’t.

Dee Garcia – Lost Girl (Rosewood Realm, #2)

Title: Lost Girl

Series: Rosewood Realm #2

Author: Dee Garcia

Genre: Dark Paranormal Romance

Release Date: February 11, 2020

Wendy

I was just a normal girl in a normal human world. I’d loved. I’d lost. I’d grieved, and after some time, I moved on.

Then, and quite suddenly, he returned.

He—Peter Pan, my first love; a monster in disguise.

In the end, he paid the ultimate price, but his demise wasn’t enough.

Now, I’m paying off the interest, dragged into a realm filled with wicked creatures I thought only existed in fairy tales and lores.

They want answers.

And I have none to give.

But the proverbial hourglass is draining of sand, and as darkness consumes, I find myself accepting the fact I’ll never make it home.

I’ll die at their merciless hands.

That is, until one valiant creature intervenes—leader of The Lost Boys.

The Alpha.

Tavi

Finding Wendy was by sheer chance.

From the moment I saw her, I was blasted with this fierce sense of duty.

I can’t explain it.

All I knew was, I had the save her.

So I did, brought her back to the Woodlands—The Lost Boys’ stomping grounds. But her connection to Peter leaves her as ostracized as he once found himself.

Until her mortality poses a concern, one the factions can’t ignore.

One no one has answers for, either.

Both my father and the Sacred Six warn there might not be any, but that doesn’t deter Wendy from trying to find a solution.

Despite such pressing matters, though, there’s a singular thought that incessantly crosses my mind.

Proof that fate is real.

She’s mine.

And I’ll be damned if anyone—or anything—tries to rip my little wolf away from me.

NEW COVER COMING THIS FALL

There’s a rule in Crowne Hall: never look a Crowne in the

It protects us more than them.

I broke it once, the night Grayson Crowne mistook me for his
true love and stole my first kiss. I’ve regretted it every day since.

He hates me.

He torments me.

He won’t let me go, because that night he whispered a secret
against my lips not meant for me. Grayson Crowne, heir to the Crowne empire and
notorious playboy prince is… a virgin.

I signed a contract in my heart’s blood as much as ink: help
him get back his love, repair what I broke. Give him my body, my soul, my
heart, let him use all of me, so when the time comes to marry her, he won’t
need me.

I shouldn’t need him.

But he’s my stolen soulmate, and I’m at his mercy.

Excerpt

The ink was barely
dry on the pages. I don’t know if I was ready for this. Somehow I felt like I
was more of a virgin than Grayson. Nervous, skittish. He’d warned me when all
of this began that the things he’d seen and done would wreck me.

I should’ve believed
him then.

When I didn’t do
anything for a minute, he arched a brow.

Do whatever he
says.

I could use my safe
word, but a twisted part of me liked doing what he told me to
do. Liked the rush and the way his eyes hardened. It felt like power, power
over one of the most powerful people in the world.

I’d barely taken a
step to him, when he ripped me to him by the small of my waist. His other hand
tangled in my hair, yanking my head to the side.

“Fuck,” he said,
lips at my neck. “Which part do I eat first.”

Delicious tingles
spread along my skin at his words. His nose ran along my neck, goosebumps
following in his wake. His hands slid from hair, from my waist, along my body,
feeling every inch of me, like he couldn’t do it fast enough, before settling
back in my hair.

Deliriously, I found
the zipper of my dress, but his overtook mine. Stopping me.

“I’m going to ruin
your white dress, Snitch. Ruin you. Until you’re all fucked up from me.”
