Cursed with the ability to see the shadow of death, Leia hides from the
world and stays far away from people. Until the night she comes face to face
with Brimstone Jandreau.

Brim is the president of the Death Riders MC, but he went nomad in an
effort to heal from grief. The moment he spots Leia, he is drawn toward her.
When she warns him of his impending death, he’s not sure if he
believes her, but decides to take precautions.

He finds the would-be assassin. Then discovers it’s one of his own
men.

Hit hard from the betrayal, he takes Leia with him back to his world. The
more time they spend together, the deeper their bond grows. But death is
waiting for Brim, and Leia will do anything to protect the man she’s
fallen in love with.

“I hope my mother hasn’t been too stressful,” he said, nudging her knee with his own.

            “Nah, she’s been enlightening.”

            “Uh oh. What does that mean?”

            “Wouldn’t you like to know?” she asked with a smirk.

            “Don’t tell me she told you about what happened on my sixteenth birthday.”

            “No, she hadn’t, but now that you have, tell me everything.” Leia rested her chin in her palm as she stared at him, waiting.

            Brim slinked down to mimic her pose, but his big frame only looked ridiculous. “Not on your life.”
            “That embarrassing?”
            “That’s for me to know and for you to never find out.”

            She narrowed her eyes. “That makes me want to know all the more.”

            He smirked. “Good luck.”

            They stared at one another, a challenge on each of their faces. Slowly, Leia stood up and while still holding his gaze called out.

            “Oh, Marth-”

            Quicker than she could finish, Brim jumped up, grabbed her hand, and tugged her away from the bonfire.

            “Nope,” he said. “Come on.”

            She laughed as he led her away from the revelry,

            “Shouldn’t we stay?” Leia asked, pointing back toward the gathering.

            “I want to show you something.” He led her further away, toward the line of trees. As they got farther from the fire, darkness gathered around them.

            Leia blinked a few times to readjust her sight. Soon, they were all alone. “Should I be nervous?”

            “Nah, you’re going to love this.”

            Finally, they came to a clearing in the trees, and he pointed up. Leia tilted her head and saw a vast ocean of stars set against the inky black of space.

            “Oh, wow,” she breathed, captivated. “It’s beautiful.”

            “I thought you’d love it.”

 

About the Author

Beth D Carter

 I began reading my mom’s Harlequin Presents in the fifth grade, and
from the first story I knew I wanted to write romance novels. Love is the
most powerful emtion we can experience, and I adore happy ever afters. I
write about the very ordinary woman thrust into an extraordinary
circumstance, so my heroines will probably never be lawyers, doctors or
corporate highrollers.  I try to write characters who aren’t cookie
cutters and push myself to write complicated situations that I have no idea
how to resolve, forcing me to think outside the box. My characters are real,
complex and full of flaws, heroes and heroines who find redemption through
love.

Hearts and Haunts Book 1

Paranormal Romance

Date Published:  01-10-2023

Publisher: Totally Bound Publishing

 

photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

Romance may not be all that awakens while two best friends renovate a
mansion rumored to be haunted.

 

If you kiss your best friend…

Halloween-loving Ren needs a new job. The only problem? The sole accountant
opening in her small town requires construction experience, which are skills
she lacks. Luckily, her best friend Leo— sexy, grumpy and completely
off limits— is a construction hotshot. Their relationship is perfect
as is, and, despite the intense chemistry, Ren refuses to ruin it with
romance. Leo agrees to teach her, with one condition— she must live on
site with him… and somehow survive the temptation.

 

You’ d better be sure…

Skeptic, sword-swinging Leo has loved Ren since she mistook him for a
hardware employee in the plunger section two years ago. While he took his
time winning her trust, she caged him in the friend zone. He’ s done hiding
his feelings, and living together— working, sleeping, playing—
at the Gothic mansion he’ s renovating will convince her that best friends
make the best lovers.

 

It’ s meant to be forever.

Ren resolves to resist Leo, even if he bends every rule. Discovering the
mansion’ s secrets— and lingering spirits, no matter what Leo
claims— offers distraction enough. But with her defenses splintering,
one kiss is all it takes to shatter every boundary, one night of passion to
believe in happily ever after… and one crumbling letter of unrequited love
to awaken ghosts forgotten. If Ren and Leo can’ t piece together the past
for two lost souls, they might lose more than their hearts.

About the Author

C.J. Burright

 Once upon a time, a girl with flat hobbit feet dreamed of adventures in the
woods with an elven hero, fighting off orcs and saving magical rings. All
grown up now, C.J. Burright resides in Oregon (at least she got the trees).
While she faces her duties at the law office day job, she avoids writing
legal thrillers and instead turns toward romance—contemporary
(sometimes with a supernatural flair), paranormal or fantasy. With a 5th Dan
Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, it’s no surprise she prefers feisty
heroines who aren’t afraid to jump into the fight. Her slivers of
spare time are spent working out, gardening, playing the latest
Assassin’s Creed, and rooting on the Seattle Mariners, always with
music. She shares a house with her husband (not elven, alas, but a fine
alternative) and a devoted cat herd while missing her daughter from afar. C.
J. is represented by Brittany Booker of The Booker Albert Literary
Agency.

Excerpt

Hours later, midnight darkness lured Karen from some dream she
couldn’t remember. She sat up and scrubbed her fingers through her
hair. Moonlight spilled through the windows and shimmered over walls,
softening the boarded-up hole across the room. The draped furniture slouched
in the corner like fallen curtains. She’d left her door ajar after
learning it didn’t latch right, another project added to her
learn-to-do list, and it remained open a wedge.

A silhouette darkened the doorway, and her pulse jumped. Leo eased past the
door, shirtless in the shadows. He looked at her, and his burning gaze stole
her breath.

“Leo?”

Without saying a word, he padded toward the bed, his bare feet silent on
the rug, black boxers clinging to his muscular thighs.

With Leo, she never worried about appearances, but the silky tank top
she’d worn to bed left zero to the imagination. Her face warmed.
He’d have to be blind to miss how he affected her physically.

Something had to be wrong. He wouldn’t enter a woman’s bedroom
without permission or knocking, not even if she happened to be his best
friend. But the fire in his eyes erased all words from her brain, and when
he crawled onto the bed on all fours, holding her gaze, she melted. Holy
hell, he was a masterpiece, the powerful lines of his body hypnotic in the
muted light.

As he approached with animal grace, she couldn’t react, lulled by the
skewed sanity of the darkness and fantasy coming to life before her eyes.
Straddling her legs over the blankets, he didn’t stop until he planted
his palms on each side of her hips, caging her. Heat radiated from his bare
skin, easing the chill of the air on her naked shoulders and arms. His
breath brushed her lips.

“What are you doing, Leo?” The words hardly counted, more a
rasp in her throat.

Leaning in, he bypassed her mouth and nuzzled her ear. “Tasting
you.” He nibbled her lobe and tugged with his teeth, then licked the
sting away. “Hmm. Luscious.”

A shiver trembled through her as the stubble on his cheek scraped her jaw
and he pressed his lips to the sensitive spot beneath her ear. She fisted
the sheet to keep from touching him. She should stop him, push him away,
tell him to leave. But he trailed his lips to her shoulder, and the thought
spun away, beyond her power. Her eyes closed of their own accord.

Denying the touch she’d dreamed of for so long was impossible. The
fact that Leo was her best friend slithered out of reach. He rested his hot
hand on her hip, and the magic of his mouth killed everything except
desire.

“I’ve waited too long for you, Ren.” He sat back on his
heels, his knees spread on either side of her thighs, and cupped her face.
“Far too long.”

Martin: I was an outcast. Humiliated and abused, I ran away to carve out a
life apart from the Specter family business. Convinced the family magic
would never work for me, I was taken by surprise when I met him.

Manticore: Shunned by other manifestations, I lived alone and nameless.
Then I found Martin. He gave me a name and his body. Now, we exist as one.
We never expected to find a woman who’ll love us, but Daisy Fay is
full of surprises. We’ve walked through demonic fire to protect her,
and we will have her as our mate.

Daisy Fay: Martin is the sweetest guy I know. Manticore is an enticing
beast. I never dreamed they shared a body. It’s a good thing I love
them both. We’re in constant danger, though, because their father
wants to kill them. They want to keep me safe, but sitting in the sidelines
isn’t my style, and they’d better get used to it.

The Darkness Therein cover

Paranormal Romance

Date Published: November 28, 2022

Jocelyn has chased his nemesis for centuries. He swore that nothing or no
one would stand between him and revenge on the creature that destroyed his
life. That same rival leads Jocelyn to the one person who can reconnect him
to the human race.

Art student Charlie has no idea that her family history binds her to a
creature of legend–until he appears in the form of a tall, beautiful man
with a thirst for revenge. The last thing she wants is to follow his orders,
but if she intends to stay alive, she has no choice.

Note: The Darkness Therein was previously published. This re-edited version
contains additional scenes.

Excerpt

She blocked his overhead strike and lashed out so hard and fast with the
end of her staff that she finally found her mark directly over his heart.
The impact forced him to his knees. Clutching a hand to his chest, he leaned
forward. His hair fell over his face, blocking his view of her overhead
strike. It fell across the back of his head and knocked him downward so that
he scarcely had time to break the fall with his hands. Instinctively his leg
lashed out and swept her feet out from under her, sending her crashing to
the grass.

Charlie hit the ground with a grunt and remained there for a few seconds,
catching her breath. Jocelyn recovered first and sprang to his feet,
offering her his hand. She took it, her gaze fixed on his.

“Excellent,” he said. “You stunned even me.”

“You weren’t expecting it.” She hated the quiver in her
voice. Her hands trembled with the surge of emotions he’d aroused. Now
that she’d calmed a bit, she realized why he’d been so awful.
He’d deliberately taunted her into fighting him without holding
back.

“No, and I haven’t underestimated anyone in a very long
time,” he admitted. “None of us are ever too old to
learn.”

“I’m sorry if I hurt you.” She tried pulling her hand
from his.

“Don’t worry about it. You needed to know you can fight us.
Edrik is powerful, but you’re not necessarily at his mercy, not as
long as you’re my apprentice.”

“I couldn’t ask for a better teacher.” She said with
heartfelt honesty.

“Nor I a better student.” He dropped her hand, collected their
weapons, and placed them against the wall. “I think that’s
enough for tonight. You may go inside if you want. I’m staying here
for a while longer to practice.”

“Do you mind if I watch?” Not only did she find his athleticism
aesthetically pleasing, but she learned from observing his technique.
Settling herself on the wall, she stretched her arms and shoulders before
she became so involved in him that she stared, motionless.

In the center of the yard, he practiced kata, a pre-planned series of
movements resembling a powerful, graceful dance, though it was actually a
mock fight against an imaginary opponent. She’d never seen anyone
perform with his liquid grace and subtle power born from natural talent as
well as centuries of practice. Watching the play of muscles beneath the
black tank top that clung to his perspiring body, she imagined how it would
feel like to be enveloped in his sinewy arms.

As if sensing her thoughts, he turned to her, his dark eyes reflecting the
torch flames, his lips parted slightly.

Lightning flashed in the distance. He gazed skyward just before fat
raindrops fell through the trees. He approached, but to her surprise,
instead of reaching for the staffs, he stepped between her legs, took her
face in his hands and covered her mouth in a possessive kiss.
Charlie’s heart raced. Moaning softly, she closed her eyes and wrapped
her arms around his neck and her legs around his lean waist.
