Forgive me Father, for she is my sin.

 

Willow Ashley pays her bills through sin. She’s made her peace with that. Her best friend, on the other hand, cannot. She relentlessly begs Willow to go to church to confess all of her wrong-doings. When Willow finally gives in, she stumbles across the new pastor, Rowan Elsher. He’s the kind of gorgeous she wants to thank the heavens for, and makes her think all sorts of filthy things that would make even God blush.

 

Rowan Elsher came to New Orleans hoping to make a real difference in helping those in his congregation. When a woman approaches him about her best friend needing guidance, yet refusing to tell him why, he becomes curious. Then he sees Willow, with her ample curves and seductive pout. In a glance, his infatuation with her begins.

 

He was told to stay away from dating within the congregation. He shouldn’t want her. He can’t want her. But he just can’t help himself but to break all the rules he vowed to keep.

“Do you know Willow Ashley?” the older lady with curled white hair says next to me as the last of the congregation reaches the communion rail and kneels before the cross. She must have caught me staring.

 

I didn’t catch the old lady’s name. Or maybe I did and I already forgot it. It doesn’t matter. I’ll find out later.

 

“Willow? No, never met her,” I answer in the same whisper as hers. The name rolls off my tongue and sends goosebumps over my skin. I like it. It’s fitting.

 

 

She grins at me and leans closer to continue our conversation in private. “The Ashley family are good people. They do so much for the church and for our Lord. But I hear their daughter is a troublemaker. I heard she lives out in the Bayou and does some unholy things out there.”

Beauty is a Blade

A Thousand Scars for You

By Justin Bourne Boring

Goodreads: 

Genre: Dark Fantasy Romance | Dark Paranormal Romance

Hosted by DS Book Promotions


Available Here:

Amazon | Apple | Nook | Kobo | GPlay


Blurb:

There is no force more compelling on Earth or in the parallel realms than forbidden love. It beguiles and inevitably self fulfills. It finds a way. Right or wrong, forbidden love can be a very beautiful thing, but that beauty is a blade, and it has a razor’s edge.

 

Impossibly, love blooms amidst a savage gender war that has raged for millions of years within a parallel realm. The Pentavi shapeshifters – an all-female clan, and the Sinteverete sorcerers – an all-male clan, were sworn enemies; divided and forced to fight by their insatiable and conspiratory Elders; they were forbidden to procreate, but made ageless by magic. The two genders were only vulnerable to death during battle, and battle was all they knew.

 

Layluna, a hardened Pentavi warrior, starts to suspect her Elders voracious appetite for war is a ruse. She and her mate, Maysiff are determined to uncover The Elders true designs, and end the never-ending war that has plagued the clans since the dawn of time. Unbelievably, they are joined by Vasser, a true immortal Sinteverete sorcerer, and head of the undying Nevuscar. He too shares their suspicions surrounding The Elders, and the three of them embark on an epic mission of bloody satisfaction.

 

Forbidden love writes itself into the story and proffers a child of incredible power. She may be the only way to end the war, unite the clans, and eliminate The Elders, but she would have to survive first.

King of Nothing

Brutal Never Boys, #1

By Mona Black

Goodreads: 

 A Dark RH Romance Peter Pan retelling

Release Date:  April 21

Hosted by DS Book Promotions


Apple | Kobo | Nook – 99c Preorder!

Amazon – will be available on release.


Blurb:

No man has ever managed to satisfy me—until Peter Pan carries me away to Neverland and now all bets are off…

I never thought that there is another reality beyond this one. My life is normal—work, routine, a few disappointing flings—when a man grabs me from the street and carries me off the Neverland.

A madman.

Granted, he probably saved my life, and the island he has brought me to is beautiful, the sights including three more hunks like him.

He says his name is Peter Pan and this is Neverland, he says they have been waiting for me and I may be the one…

Yeah, he sounds like a madman, all right.

A pity. He’s so pretty. And so are his friends.

Peter and the Lost Boys, living on an island where the mermaids sing in the sea and creatures named Reds roam the land.

It sounds like a fairytale.

But if Peter is mad, the rest aren’t much better. Dark forces seem to be at work here, and I’m caught in a web of fear and doubt.

The Lost Boys turn out to be violent, vicious men and I am their plaything.

Caught in a web of desire and pleasure.

Am I really the one they have been expecting?

Can I save them?

And do I even want to?

Please note: This is book 1 in a trilogy, so it ends in a slight cliffy. Apart from the usual dark romance warnings, M/M is a thing in this trilogy.

Title: Nicoli
Series: Dark Sovereign Series Book 4
Author: Bella J.
Genre: Dark Romance/Mafia Romance
Release Date: April 12, 2023
Cover Design: Deranged Doctor Designs
 
 
I’ve never had a life.

I’m not talking about the freedom money can buy because I have that in spades.
I’m talking about the freedom a girl gets from growing up with four overprotective Del Rossa men…which is zero.

Zero freedom to have a social life. Zero freedom to date.
No guy dares to glance my way. I’m Dark Sovereign property in this town, and everyone knows you don’t touch what belongs to the Del Rossas.

Fifteen years ago, I was a lost little orphan. The Del Rossa family took me in, cared and raised me like I was their own. But not him.

Not Nicoli.

He’s always treated me differently. Like I don’t belong in their world. Like I’m this temporary thing they shouldn’t get attached to.

Maybe I should be thankful that he ignores me most of the time.
But for some stupid reason…I’m not.

Whenever he looks my way, I can’t seem to breathe right.
When he’s close, I’m a mess on two feet.

But Nicoli has made it crystal clear that the girl he grew up with is a hard limit for him. I’m the one woman he’ll never touch…

…not even if I beg him to.
