Hannah
The second I saw him walk through that door, I knew he was trouble.
Men like him always are.
The dark hair.
The smoldering stubble.
Those piercing gray eyes that might as well be a flame thrower between women’s legs.
Oh, and the fact that he’s in a gentlemen’s club.
What am I doing here, you ask?
It’s my job to be here.
No, not that job.
My job is to put away bad guys, like the elusive mob hitman I’ve been tracking for months who’s now somewhere in this very club.
You see, I’m a woman on a mission,
And this is a raid.
Zac
For heaven’s sake, I was hosting my brother’s bachelor party,
Is that a crime?
(Seriously, asking for a friend.)
I mean, considering my brother is about to walk down the aisle,
I’m just doing my best man duties.
And sure, technically, it’s a gentlemen’s club…
A private, exclusive, highly coveted one where everyone is supposed to be protected and completely anonymous.
Oh, and did I mention that it’s six-figure stupid expensive?
Whatever.
At least there’s one silver lining to this cluster of a night…
Agent Hannah Evans.
Even as she slides the cuffs around my wrists,
And her fiery eyes meet mine,
It’s clear we both know the truth:
My name isn’t James Smith.
My attorney will have me free in under an hour.
And that kiss…
The one I couldn’t help stealing…
Won’t be our last.

Title: Marrying the Muse
Author: Kari Castaño
Genre: RomCom
Cover Designer: Laura with Spellbinding Designs
Publication Date: July 27th, 2023
Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR

Blurb:
How far will a romance-wary thriller writer go in order to save her career? Simple: she finds herself in a fake marriage with a playboy billionaire.

 

Olivia Harris, master of penning thrillers that could scare the socks off a hardened criminal, is facing the literary equivalent of a horror show. Her agent drops the bomb: publishers want romance, not thrillers. So, she’s expected to switch from writing about cold-blooded killers to hot-blooded lovers. Just one tiny problem – Olivia wouldn’t know romance if it hit her with a dozen roses.

 

Meanwhile, billionaire tycoon and renowned playboy, Alexander Kingston, is facing his own crisis. His playboy antics have finally caught up to him, and his grandfather is done turning a blind eye, threatening to snatch away Kingston Enterprises and his inheritance unless he ties the knot. But where on earth would he find a bride in this eleventh-hour scramble?

 

Enter Fate, who apparently thinks it’s a stand-up comedian, flinging Olivia and Alexander together again after a previous one-night-stand. Seeing an unexpected solution to his problem, Alexander takes a wild shot and pitches Olivia a proposal that is more business than bended knee.

 

Will they dare to venture into the unknown or is the absurdity of their agreement doomed to upend their own rebelliously romantic hearts?

Kari Castaño is a vibrant new voice in the genre of romantic comedy. She is slated to release her debut novel, “Marrying the Muse,” in the summer of 2023.

 

Residing in the sun-kissed landscapes of South Florida, Kari finds inspiration in her lush surroundings, the adventures that come with traveling, and the diverse stories she encounters in her favorite Korean dramas. She has a knack for infusing her narratives with a unique blend of wit, charm, and relatable characters that resonate with readers.

 

Kari Castaño is a passionate writer, a global traveler, and an avid K-drama enthusiast. She spends her days crafting stories that bring joy and laughter, echoing her own zest for life, as she prepares to launch “Marrying the Muse.”

So who am I?

Well, I’m the crazy girl with an imagination that never shuts up. I LOVE scary movies. My friends laugh at me when I scare myself watching them and tell me to stop watching them, but who doesn’t love to get scared? I grew up in a small town nestled in the southern mountains of West Virginia where I spent days roaming around in the woods, climbing trees, and causing general mayhem. Nights I would stay up reading Nancy Drew by flashlight under the covers until my parents yelled at me to go to sleep.

Now, I live in a small town in West Virginia where I entertain my niece and nephew and watch the cats get teased by the birds and laugh myself silly when they swoop down and then dive back up just out of reach. The cats start yelling something fierce…lol.

I love books, I love writing books, and I love entertaining people with my silly stories.

Amazon Review – “I recommend this book; it is a hard one to put down.”
Details.
They’re what every good detective needs to solve the mysteries of the darkest crimes.
I’m a details guy. I see all the little things that make up the bigger picture.
Give me a puzzle and there’s nothing I can’t solve.
Until her.
She’s thrilling, mysterious.
Captivating.
Suddenly she’s everywhere. She’s filling all the free space in my head and lining my veins with something so addictive I can’t get enough.
Falling for her is like quicksand.
She’s become one puzzle I can’t solve. So many secrets and promises she can’t contain them any longer. But will she share them with me?
All I saw was the bigger picture with her and this details guys missed what was there all along until it was too late.

And if she does, will I be ready for it?

Title: Stolen by the Sinner
Series: Russian Torpedo #1
Author: Hayley Faiman
Genre: Mafia Romance
Release Date: January 24, 2022
 
Are all those that are lost meant to be found? Are all those that are stolen taken against their will?

Holland Wanger has spent her entire life beneath the scrutinization of the paparazzi. The daughter of a famous actor. Her life is predictable and routine—boring. She’s afraid of change, but it seems as though her life is about to be turned upside down in a single instant.

Russian Bratva Torpedo, Danill Belsky, has a new mission that includes an offer for a payment that he can’t quite resist. A payment that comes in a knockout body with long blonde hair and blue eyes.

In a dark club, he meets her under the guise of fate. He is drawn to her. Not only does he need her, but he wants her, too. She’s alluring, seemingly untamable, but Danill knows that she wants to be his.

Can a woman really be stolen if she goes willingly?

 
As an only child, Hayley Faiman had to entertain herself somehow. She started writing stories at the age of six and never really stopped.

Born in California, she met her now husband at the age of sixteen and married him at the age of twenty in 2004. After all of these years together, he’s still the love of her life.

Hayley’s husband joined the military and they lived in  Oregon,where he was stationed with the US Coast Guard. They moved back to California in 2006, where they had two little boys. Recently, the four of them moved out to the Hill Country of Texas, where they adopted a new family member, a chocolate lab named Optimus Prime.

Most of Hayley’s days are spent taking care of her two boys, going to the baseball fields for practice, or helping them with homework. Her evenings are spent with her husband and her nights—those are spent creating alpha book boyfriends.

Sumner

Only time can heal your pain.

If I had a dime for every time someone said that to me, I wouldn’t have run away.

Because regardless of what they tell you, time doesn’t heal the pain.

Because what I was doing wasn’t living, it was a constant reminder of the life I’d lost.

Because I couldn’t bear the sadness, I saw hiding behind Tatum’s eyes every time he looked at me.

I knew he loved me . . . But for how long?

One day he would’ve woken up and seen the same ugliness that I see every time I look in the mirror.

And that was something I couldn’t let happen.

With some help from an unlikely source, I fled to the one place I believed no one would ever find me . . .

Virginia. Mark Dixon and Cole Security Forces helped conceal my past so the boy who holds my heart.

would never find me.

Until he did.

All I wanted was for the nightmares of that day to stop and to be left alone. I’m not the same girl I used.

to be, which is why I need to protect my heart from the devastation Tatum’s rejection could inflict.

But he refuses to leave me alone.

Should I take the risk and trust him?

Maybe they’re right.

Maybe time can erase the past and heal the pain.

Or maybe Tatum will destroy what’s left of my heart forever.
