 1 year since the release of

AQUARIUS



Betrayed. Stoic. Broken

Five years after the woman he loved stole his destiny, Carter Hayes finds her again in the most unlikely of places. And from the moment he lays eyes on Skye, it’s clear his hunger for her hasn’t waned a bit during their time apart.

Now they’re trapped, forced to relive those wild, passion-filled nights, as well as their darkest, most painful moments, while the guild they serve is taken hostage.

But a guild coup isn’t their only problem. Carter’s own family is working against him, and unless he can let go of the past, he’ll lose his rightful place in the Aquarius guild…

And a future he never knew he wanted.

What else does this mean? 

It means the entire Masters of the Zodiac, multi-author series is now complete and you can check out all twelve books here

Tainted Love

Ciaran

An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth.

In this world that’s always how it works. Without exception.

Sometimes it’s deliberate.

A way to provoke a response.

Set a trap.

Start a war…

What none of us can afford to do is to turn a blind eye.

To do so is to show weakness.

And in this world, that kind of weakness will get you annihilated.

That’s why I’m here, preparing to abduct the woman who’s stupid enough to want to tie herself to the scum they called the Viper, on her wedding day.

Retaliation.

Maricela

I feel like an inmate on death row waiting to be escorted to my doom, but marriage to Vito - the Viper - Rossi is a fate worse than death.

My father, the one who sold me into this nightmare, is present… somewhere, but I have to be escorted down the aisle by a body guard in case I try to make a run for it.

Well, they’re not wrong.

I stare at my refection for the few precious moments of peace and freedom I have left. I’m not sure I know the woman who stares back at me. It’s my eyes that strike hardest.

Blank. Desolate. It’s like all the life has been sucked out of them.

The door opens and any last chance of escape has finally passed.

Except it’s not my bodyguard who enters the room, but a masked man with an Irish accent.

He doesn’t need to abduct me, I’ll go willingly.

This might have been my happily ever after… until he’s forced to give me back.

The Lost Boys series

Before

Decades earlier, trouble stalked the tropical haven of the Florida Keys.

Dark shadows crawled beneath the sun and fun, and children went missing.

Then it all stopped.

Now, for better or worse, the lives of seven people are about to become intricately intertwined. The Lost Boys Kidnapper is back, and only they can stop him.

To do so, though, they'll need to piece back lives ripped apart by past events.

Find out what happened to them Before.


Read it for FREE on all major platforms!

Five Sinful Saviors 

A Deadly Mystery to Uncover The Lost.

Even bright sunshine has dark shadows...

Ever since my brother's disappearance, my world has been carefully designed to keep the darkness out.

When a serial killer from the Florida Keys' past returns, my simple little existence gets a lot more complicated...especially when five men haunted by their own dark pasts take a sudden interest in me.

Overnight, my life is torn apart, and I am thrown into the arms of these mysterious strangers for solace and protection, finding the paradise I've been hunting for with them.

Can we escape the shadows that chase us, though? Or will I be lost, too?

This suspenseful romance, inspired by the tale of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, has a complete HFN ending and can be read as a standalone.

Six Dark Defenders

First there were Five. Now they are Six.

Beck

The sun has dawned on a new day and after a grim fight with a notorious serial child killer, the future looks bright.Even for me.

But not everything is as it seems. The man killed in that brutal struggle? He’s not the man I remember as my kidnapper.

Neve and her guys think they’ve finally found their happy ever after, but something sinister continues to lurk in the background, threatening to steal away the happiness they’ve discovered on the islands of the Florida Keys.

Forced into hiding with Neve, I find myself falling for her, and I know I can’t let that happen.

But convincing people to believe me has always been a problem, and it looks like that hasn’t changed.

Now I need to persuade them of the truth before the past comes back to finish what it started.

Perhaps then I can have my happy ever after, too.


Hating Them

They're my stepbrothers. My rivals. My enemies.

It’s hard to watch someone else live your dream.

When my best friend settles into her happy-ever-after, I’m determined to make my own dreams come true. Inheriting my father’s beach house gives me the space I need to make my desires a reality.

But love seems to be a bit more elusive for me.

Enter my stepbrothers.

I barely know them and ought to hate them. They think I owe them something when the simple truth is, I owe them nothing more than the terms of the will, which allows them to live under the same roof.

So here we are—roommates, enemies, and possibly more, as sparks between us ignite in the summer heat.

Those sparks, though, have the power to rage unchecked. Someone is trying to take away everything my father has given me, and it could be the men in my bed.

H8 is the thrilling spin-off to Five and Six.If you’re a sucker for dark and twisted fairytales, you won’t want to miss this mash-up of Cinderella and Snow White.

Author Spotlight - Kessily Lewel



Kessily Lewel, and her darker side Sadie Marks, are two halves of the same author. Between those two pen names, she has a total of nine published books now. All of them fall under the category of power-exchange romance. 

Kessily’s books tend more towards sexy romance with a side of domestic discipline, while Sadie has been sticking to sci-fi, with her race of Dominant aliens who are looking for a few good humans to call their own.

She has been in love with fantasy, sci-fi and horror since she was a child. She grew up reading Stephen King, Asimov, Robert Heinlein, and others, so it was only natural that one day she’d write her own worlds—though hers do seem to have a lot more sex and BDSM in them.

New Release

Sam loves her, but can he be the Daddy she needs?

Claiming His Brat 

Daddy Takes the Reins Book One




A rekindled romance. A second chance at love. The Daddy she needs.

When family tragedy brings Charlie back home to the ranch, she ends up face to face with the man she walked out on years before. Sam is just as hot and bossy as ever, but Charlie knows she made the right choice all those years ago and she's determined to stay away.

But when her father’s will throws the two of them together, it quickly becomes clear that their explosive chemistry can't be ignored.

Now he’s in charge whether she likes it or not, and it’s bringing back all those memories of what they had before. But if things are going to work it has to be different this time. She knows what she needs. She needs him to be her Daddy. The only question is… can he handle her?

Isn't this just the most scrumptious cover!? Releasing on 15th October, this is already available for pre-order so you can get your copy HERE!


And here's a sneak peek to tickle your tastebuds.



Excerpt

“Don’t take that tone with me Charlie girl, unless you want to go over my knee!” Sam snapped back.

Her mouth dropped open, but she couldn’t ignore the surge of arousal that rocketed through her, soaking her panties and making her nipples harden into points. “I…you…you can’t do that!” she blurted, taking several steps back as she said it, just in case he was planning to do exactly what he’d threatened.

He got to his feet and moved around the desk like he was stalking her. Somehow, he got between her and the door, and then he was backing her against the wall and bracing his hands on either side of her to trap her right where she was. “You want to bet on that, kid? I’ll do it right here. Pants down and everything, imagine someone walking in and seeing you like that,” he said in a low threatening growl.

Her eyes widened and her breath caught in her throat. A small pulsing had begun, centered low in her body and for a second, she was tempted to say, ‘yes please!’ but she couldn’t do that. “I didn’t give you permission to discipline me, Sam.” She hadn’t meant it to sound so cold, but the ice she was using to keep her emotions in check crept into her voice.

He stared at her and then slowly dropped his arms and took a step back. A shuttered look came over his face and all the passion vanished leaving a neutral expression she couldn’t decipher. He gestured towards the door. “Go on then. You know I’m not going to force anything on you. You want to be a brat and then say no, that’s on you. I’ve got work to do.”


And that's not all! 

If sci-fi is more your thing, then take a look at this. 

His Captured Prey

by

Sadie Marks

part of the Dark Galaxies Anthology

Do you like your romance a little on the dark side?

From space stations to star ships to distant planets, wherever humans go, romance follows. But it’s not always all hearts and flowers. Sometimes intergalactic love comes from much darker sources than the stars that light the way.

In this limited-edition collection of amazing new stories, New York Times, USA Today, and international bestselling authors bring you a whole new galaxy of dark science fiction romance.




Exiled from her colony for refusing to be part of their breeding program, Mara finds herself captured and claimed by Jahk, the first male who finds her in the wild. Despite her anger and frustration at being forced to obey the dominating Alpha male, she can’t help but feel the attraction between them.

She doesn’t want a mate, but she can’t fight biology and once she goes into heat neither of them will have a choice. In a desperate attempt to escape her own biological imperatives, she nearly loses her life. 

Now, Jahk is determined to keep her safe no matter what it takes, and he’ll begin by training her to obey.

Warning: 

This romance is on the dark side, with Dominance and scenes of punishment and discipline. If that’s not your cup of tea you probably won’t enjoy this book.


And there's more!

You can follow Kessily on your favourite media, but if you sign up to her Newsletter you can also get your hands on a FREE copy of 

Architect of his Desire

Or come and join in the fun in our joint reader group.

Sexy Spanking Reads 


We will be hosting our 1st Anniversary Party on October 17th

More new releases!

As promised, here is a look at some of those other fab new releases for you to choose from! 
First up...
Bedlam at Big Rock
Big Rock Romance Book 5
by
Nora Nolan


Misfortunes come in threes, don’t they? He was widowed, his father was murdered, and now the safety of his new love is in jeopardy.
A murder, a mystery, and now a buried treasure? 



Blurb
Here's the fifth and final tale of the Old West in the spicy, fast-paced Big Rock Romance series. 

Buck lost his wife to pneumonia and his father to murder within a few short months of each other. When he decides to crawl out of his mourning, he stops by to visit his friend, Dr. Elliott Larkin, and is introduced to Callie Mae Weathers and her friend, Lilac Indigo Preston. Buck had no idea his life would change so drastically within four short days! When he hires the Snow Detective Agency to help find his father's killer, Reed and Deacon Snow uncover information that could change all their lives.
Take a trip to Big Rock and enjoy humor, mystery, sweet love stories, heroes, villains, and a couple of women who obey their men most of the time. But, oh dear, when they don't… 
Although all the stories in this series are technically standalone, the author advises that you might enjoy this one more if you read the fourth book in the series first, Big Rock Rescue. Better yet, treat yourself to all five in the series. You'll be glad you did!

Publisher's Note: This humorous, action-filled, Western romance contains a theme of power exchange.

Excerpt
It was late afternoon on a Sunday, a lovely sunny day. Callie Mae hummed, as she so often did as she went about her work. She had already put on collard greens and hog jowl to simmer and was just pouring the cornbread batter into a cast iron skillet.
“I believe it’s time, Callie,” Buck said from behind her.
She turned and saw him, and a feeling of dismay and apprehension came over her. He stood looking at her with an odd expression on his face, his hand poised on his belt buckle. 
The color drained from her face. “Time for what?”
“You know what. We can’t put this off forever. Go ahead and put the cornbread in the oven to cook, then we can take care of it.”
She froze.
“Callie Mae, sweetheart, put the cornbread in the oven.”
Callie moved, but she felt dizzy, disassociated from her movements, as if someone else was opening the oven door and sliding in the pan in slow motion. She closed the oven door, then moved to her left to put her hands on the edge of the countertop to steady herself.
She stared at her hands on the counter. “Buck, please, we don’t have to do this.”
“Yes. We do. I’ll never be able to forget that day, and how I felt when I realized I could have lost you, all because you didn’t mind me. I told you then it would happen. I meant it. You need to know I keep my word. We both have to know that.”
Callie Mae turned around, leaning against the countertop. “But haven’t I been good since then?”
“Of course you have, sweetheart, you’ve been the best wife a man could ask for. But we haven’t had any rough times since then, either. It’s easy to be good when everything’s going the right way. It’s those days like that bad one that define us. Now, come on. Let’s go do this in the bedroom. It won’t take long, I promise, then it’ll all be over.”
Callie took quick shallow breaths, her mind frantically searching for an escape. She’d known since that day that this was coming, but a part of her had always held out hope she could find a way to get out of it.
“Callie? Come on.”
She still didn’t move.
Buck changed his stance and put his hands on his hips in frustration. “Do you want me to carry you in there?”
She didn’t respond, still trying to shrink into the cabinet.
He unbuckled his belt. “All right. We’ll just do this in here.”
Callie snapped. “No!” She screamed in a panic.
She ran past him, eluding his grasp as he reached out. She ran toward the hall with Buck in pursuit. In the hall, he caught her arm but she twisted around and escaped his grip. She kept running, heading back through the parlor toward the kitchen. Buck caught up to her again and grabbed at her waist, but she jerked away so hard he could only hold on to the fabric of her skirt. She wasn’t wearing a petticoat; she rarely did around the house. They both heard the skirt rip, and she was off again, this time out the front door.
Buck looked down at the little scrap of her skirt fabric in his hand, cursed, and headed outside. Once outside, he was able to open up into a full run, and with his long legs, he was upon her in no time. He held her left arm as he delivered a strong blow to her bottom with his right. She squealed, yanked her arm and managed to get away.
But not far. Buck tackled her, taking them both to the ground. Callie landed face down in the grass as Buck firmly took both her wrists and held them behind her back. He knelt with his left shin on her lower back and delivered another significant swat to her bottom. 
There was no way she could escape this time.
“All right, little lady, we’re going to do this. I’d rather do it inside, but if you want to do it out here, I’ll oblige. Just know that you’ll be bare-assed, and I can’t promise any of the ranch hands won’t get an eyeful if they happen to come by.”
“No! Please. Not out here. I’ll go inside.”
“Good choice. You’ll have to forgive me, though, if I don’t trust you to go in under your own power.”
With that, he picked her up and hoisted her over his left shoulder. As he walked toward the house, hCe reached up under her skirt and ripped off her bloomers, letting them fall to the ground.
“Well- wh- you can’t just leave those on the ground!”
He swatted her again through her skirt. “I believe I can. Something tells me I need to save as much time and effort as I can. You can come out afterwards and get them if you want.”
As they neared the house and her doom, the thought of someone seeing her tattered undies mattered less and less, especially since she knew Buck must be furious with her right now. 
What have you done to yourself, Callie Mae? You just made it so much worse than it would have been!

Blinded
Club Indigo Book 5
by
Karen Nappa



Blurb
Doctors make terrible patients, and this one will prove to be her biggest challenge – in every way possible!
He is a talented, successful surgeon… and Sandra hates him from the moment they meet. Injured in a rock-climbing accident, the arrogant doctor fights her at every turn during his physical therapy sessions. 

It’s too bad all those hard muscles and hot-as-hell good looks are wasted on a man as domineering and controlling as GT Lewis. She is determined to keep him at arms-length… until he blind-sides her one night at Club Indigo. 

Now that he knows her secret desires, will Sandra submit to his ropes and ultimately to his love?

Author’s Note: Karen Nappa brings you a full-length enemies-to-lovers medical romance with lots of rope and no cliff-hanger. Book five in the Club Indigo series includes BDSM, explicit language and sex scenes and is intended for a mature audience. Although the stories can be read and enjoyed independently, recurring characters and events from previous novels are mentioned. One-click for a sexy alpha hero who wants to tie his woman in ropes and a feisty woman with a warped vision of love.

Excerpt:
“Dr. Lew – ah,” she faltered, apparently recognizing she shouldn’t use his last name. He used her momentary state of confusion to grasp her arm and pull her away from the other submissives. For about ten steps, Sandra followed him meekly, then her brain kicked in, and she came to a sudden halt. He almost lost his grip, but he held on to her arm and turned to face her.
“Hello, Sandra,” he said with a smirk. “What a wonderful surprise to meet you here. I’m Greg, GT to my friends. I’d like it if you would call me GT, but Sir would be even better.”
Her eyes blazed, and she took in a big gulp of air. Before she could utter a word, GT calmly stated, “I don’t think you want to cause a scene, do you?” She let out her breath with a whoosh and shook her head. “Looks like we’re going to see each other again after all,” he said as he allowed a lazy grin to soften his features. He couldn’t believe how happy he was running into her, and doing so at Club Indigo had his mind reeling. To discover she was submissive and interested in Kinbaku? It opened so many possibilities he longed to explore with her.
Meanwhile, Sandra tried to pull out of his grip without making a spectacle out of it. “Let go of me,” she whisper-shouted with all the venom of a spitting cobra.
He perused her lazily and shook his head. “No, I want to hold onto you for a long time. Preferably with ropes, but my hands or cuffs would work fine, too.”
“I don’t think so,” Sandra hissed. “If you don’t let go of me, I’ll call red, and then you’ll be known as the Dom who won’t take ‘no’ for an answer. Do you really want that reputation?”
“Why would you do that?” He dropped her arm and they stood inches away from each other, breathing hard.
“Because I don’t want anything to do with you. You’ve been an asshole since the moment we met.” Sandra folded her arms over her chest and glared at him.
“Woman, can’t you let go of the past and give me a chance?” he asked in a soft voice.
“Why should I? You were a pain in my ass for weeks, and I was hoping never to see you again.”
He smiled wickedly. “Pity for you, we’re both members of this club, and we’re going to see each other often.” Right then and there, GT decided to adapt his work schedule to allow more frequent visits to Club Indigo.

About the author:
