“What a Book!!! So many questions still to answer and I CAN’T wait for more.” ★★★★★ LoverOfBooks80


“Every turn of the page had me asking , “ what’s going to happen next “. Such a great read.” ★★★★★ Angela


I should have known that this was coming…
I’d done the right things, chosen the right friends, kept my grades up, primped and primed and smiled when I was supposed to, and then I escaped the clutches of the man they’d chosen for me. What. An. Idiot.
Or not, I suppose.
If I spend the year at Pendleton Prep, I can go back on my merry way. The problem is that life here is not exactly what I expected.
I’m not just another student, here to serve her time and get out. Oh no, that would never do. I’ve been wrapped up and served on a platter for the Devils of Pendleton Prep.
They’re hot, stupidly hot, and involved in something I want nothing to do with.
More than one of them has her set in their sights, but she’s already entangled in the world of the elite, they just don’t realise it yet. Where nine begin, only three will end… how far will they go to secure their place?


H.L Packer is, quite frankly, a busy bee.
An avid reader as a child, her love for all things written waned into adulthood, the excitement of real life things taking over. But when her life slowed down as she finished her office job for maternity leave, her husband purchased her an e-reader, and that obsession was rekindled.
Quickly she went from reader to reviewer, and then from reviewer to blogger; street teams and promo tours galore. When she began collating her own book boxes over at Romance Readers Book Box UK and had the opportunity to include her own words and worlds, the characters began talking.
Those cheeky characters quickly found themselves written down on the page, and her first series was in progress.
When she is not coordinating her worlds, you can find her running around after her free-spirited three children, and husband, or tending to the dogs, bearded dragons, and snakes that also reside with them.
A break can be found soaking in a bubble bath or enjoying a glass of wine, often still with a book in her hand.

Read on Kindle Unlimited 

 


Blurb:

From award-winning author Billie Dale comes the story of a mother’s fight to keep herself and her daughter out of the clutches of the Cosa Nostra and away from an obsessed stepbrother whose feelings are anything but brotherly.

I needed a place no one would know me.

Sanctuary.

And as far from everyone in my past as possible without leaving the country.

The island of Mercy Bay is my fresh start.

I’m a new mother with a colicky baby and no support system. Nights of screaming bring the surly neighbor to my door. Big, brooding, ex-hocky playing, infuriating and hot, Walker Wheler is the baby whisperer. He adores my daughter.

Me? Not so much.

 

I don’t need another man to complicate my life, but I can’t resist Walker. After a night of explosive passion, I discover I’m not the only one with secrets.

When the twisted truth comes calling, I learn that no matter how far or fast you run, the past will always find you in the end.

FAVORITE BOOK OF THE YEAR, SO FAR!! Lily White is back and killing it with her words. The feels are off the charts with these two.” 5 Star Amazon Review

This book is everything I have been waiting for! Lily is back and wrote another masterpiece!” 5 Star Amazon Review

Sixth Circle

Heresy

Also Known as Shane Carter
 
There are no rules with this man.
No courtesies.
No acceptable behaviors he’ll conform to in order to be accepted.
 
He marches to his own beat.
Gives the finger to expectations.
And does whatever pleases him because nobody can control him.
 
Arrogant.
Aggravating.
Absolute Chaos.
Shane is the last person you want walking into your world.
 
It’s too bad he walked into mine.
Now I can’t get rid of him.
Not that I’m sure I want to.
 
He wants something from me.
He’s playing a game.
And every time we come together, I can’t help feeling like I’m dancing with the Devil.
 
It all started with a chance meeting.
With the exchange of a few angry words.
And now that I’m trapped in this man’s maze, I fear I won’t be strong enough to resist being seduced.
 
*** Each novel in the series depicts a unique romance, but the plots through each book connect in one world. For the best experience, read the series in order.
Nine Ruthless Men. Nine Unrepentant Sinners. Nine Irresistible Manipulators.
  
Lily White is a romance writer who likes to dabble on the taboo side of eroticism. She is most known for her Masters Series, Target This, Wishing Well, and Asylum.

Title: Dangerous Obsession
Series: Vice City
Author: Bella Di Corte
Genre: Mafia Romance/Romantic Suspense
Release Date: July 21, 2023
Cover Design: Najla Qamber Designs
I’m in love—well, some would call it obsessed—with a mythical family. Technically, they’re not a myth, because they do exist. But seeing one is like seeing a wild lion out on the streets of New York. Rare. Except when they’re making the papers.

I know something about that. I work for Vice City Times, a newspaper that reports on, and caters to, the criminal organizations of the world. And in our world, the Fausti family is considered royalty among killers, thieves, and generally anyone who usually does business in the dark.

Because they steal hearts—while they’re still beating.

Being the investigative journalist that I am, I followed the crumbs until they led me to Nazzareno “Naz” Fausti.

It was my dream to go undercover, meet them, and write an article detailing everything I discovered. I never planned to witness Naz stealing a heart right from its chest.

Mine.

My name is Ava Gerardi, aka Pepper Nash, and I’m writing my own story.

Bella Di Corte writes criminal romance that will steal your heart. She brings to life stories of men who walk the line between irredeemable and savable, and the women who force them to feel. She’s known for her rich world building and strong characters. She’s also an International Bestselling Author.
Apart from writing, Bella loves to spend time with her husband, daughter, family, and four dogs. She also loves to read, listen to music, cook recipes that were passed down to her, and take photographs.
Bella grew up in New Orleans, a place she considers a creative playground.
