Can they find a man who vanished over thirty years ago? Or will their first case break them apart? With a new job as a private detective on a small island, Olaf has everything he’s dreamed of. A life as an openly gay man, a partner who adores every fuzzy hair on his body, and his adopted family and friends who love him. So why does he feel something is still missing? With a promotion that’s his for the taking, Paul has everything he never dreamed of. His closeted cop is finally in the same country as him. His interfering family and friends are happy for him. So why isn’t he satisfied? Then on his first day of business Olaf gets the worst possible case. To discover whether a sixteen-year-old gay boy who disappeared thirty-five years ago is alive or dead. As they delve into the dark history of the boy’s family, both Olaf and Paul are forced to confront their relationship. Will Paul take the promotion? Will Olaf walk away if he does? Or will they face the fact that their relationship is more important than anything else?     TEASER: “Look at my man. A Private Dick.” Paul Owens smirked as he studied the door. Olaf Skandik. Private Investigator. Olaf rolled his eyes. “You had to get a dick joke in there somewhere, didn’t you?” “Well duh. Did you expect anything different?” “I expected it sooner,” Olaf admitted, admiring his name on the door. Paul raised his eyebrow. “Are you going to open the door or are we going to spend all day staring at the sign?” Olaf huffed as he fumbled with the key. His hands shook as he made a second attempt to get the key in the lock. “Let me do it,” Paul suggested. But rather than taking the key from him, Paul placed his hands over Olaf’s and guided the key in. It turned like a charm. “I don’t know why I’m so nervous,” Olaf admitted. Paul pushed the door open. “This is the start of your new life, babe. Olaf Skandik, private detective. Finder of lost dogs and cheating husbands.” Olaf had a horrible feeling he was right. They surveyed the small office, barely large enough for a desk and a chair. “It’s…compact,” Paul said diplomatically. “It’s all I can afford at the moment.” He’d been lucky that the offices were still empty above the Blue Lagoon restaurant. He wasn’t sure about having Wig and Nibs as his friends and landlords, but at least there was an endless supply of coffee downstairs. “You know you can never complain about my flat again,” Paul said with undisguised glee. Olaf gave a resigned sigh. “I know.” He’d contemplated working from home, but he didn’t want clients knowing where he lived. This office, barely larger than a shoebox, was all he could afford until he was established, unless he asked his parents for money. Which was never going to happen. “It’s very beige.” His landlords, Wig and Nibs had decorated the room in neutral colours, but Paul was right. It was beige. “But it’s all yours.” Olaf turned to see Paul grinning at him, and the warmth of his smile sent a message straight to his dick. He pushed the door shut with one foot and raised an eyebrow. “Bend over the desk,” he ordered. Paul’s smile went from warm and happy to heated need. “You want to christen the desk?” He was head down, ass up, before Olaf had time to say, “I do.” Olaf grinned. His boy never mucked about. He slid his hands under Paul’s sweater, tugging at the T-shirt so he could reach the warm skin beneath. Paul flinched. “Christ, you could have warmed your hands up, you bastard.” “I am warming them up. On your back,” Olaf pointed out, totally unrepentant for the goosebumps under his fingertips. “It’s a good thing I like you,” Paul grumbled. Olaf bent over him to whisper in his ear. “Oh, I think you do more than like me, Mr Owens.” Paul scoffed in the back of his throat, but the shiver told a different story. “Get on with it. I haven’t got all day.” Olaf grinned. His boy was all mouth. For a man with no patience, he could be reduced to a boneless heap when Olaf took things slow. They’d been together for eight years—on and off, and, okay, maybe more off than on in the earlier stages—but they’d always come together with clashing need. Making love to Paul Owens was still at the top of Olaf’s things-to-do list.   GIVEAWAY: a Rafflecopter giveaway Direct Link: http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/d51793e0580/?

Synopsis

๐Ÿ’ Billionaire Fake engagement 

๐Ÿ’ฅDirty talking

๐Ÿ’œ Bada$$ heroine 

๐Ÿ Sexy trip to Rio

 

I always pay my debt but a husband was the last thing I needed.

Maybe my life wasn't as prestigious as my parents wanted, but kicking it at Moxie Misfits, the tattoo parlor I owned, was my dream come true.

Until a drunk driver plowed through the shop and destroyed everything--including my home on the floor above.

The last thing I want is to have to go live with my overbearing brother, so maybe a secret nuptial arrangement with a sexy stranger isn't a bad idea after all...especially when Mr. Alexander comes in such a deliciously tempting package.

I just hope mixing a little pleasure with business doesn't cause too much heartache...because falling in love with my husband is not part of the plan.

Book-Burgling Blood Magic

 


Book Burgling Blood-Magic
Jas Bond Book 3
by Gretchen S.B.
Genre: Urban Fantasy


The last thing I need, is the book everybody wants…

When a volume eight of Geysers Journals falls into my lap I'm left with a conundrum. Do I hold onto it and try to get the most money out of it I possibly can, shoring up my finances for at least a year? Or do I get rid of it as quickly as possible in an effort to avoid any more attempts on my life? To me, the choice is obvious. But what am I supposed to do when the buyer isn't who they seem, and I end up getting stiffed? Then I get a frantic call about my dog. Cheat me out of a heck of a lot of money and I'll angrily grumble but come after Bailey and you and I have a problem.

Some books bring a heck of a lot of trouble. See what’s in store in Book Burgling Blood-Magic.




Spectacle Stealing Supernatural
Jas Bond Book 2


Magical break-ins abound…

The two nearby stores owned by supernaturals are broken into. The Fix 'n' Find, my store, is not. What I have instead are suspicious magical handprints on the front windows. Combine that with a weird set of glasses that let the wearer see every type of magic and we have a serious conundrum. Luckily, my ex-fiancรฉ Violetta, is a powerful witch and willing to help me figure out what could possibly be going on.

Find out what some magical items and good old-fashioned spell work can uncover in the Spectacle Stealing Supernatural




Green Goo Goblin
Jas Bond Book 1


My life is one giant cycle of group deniability…

As a magic-less son of a witch owning a store full magical objects isn't easy. But with my unhelpful rottweiler Bailey and a handful of supernatural staff, we've sold everything from elfin wedding china to a life-size dwarven statue we don't like to talk about. Everything is going smoothly until a goblin customer starts coughing up a disgusting green goo. Little did I know as I watch that liquid spew from his mouth that his presence and that goo was going to send my life into a tailspin, leaving me in the crosshairs of a murder.

Check out the goblin and the goo he produces in Green Goo Goblin.




Gretchen spawned in the Puget Sound region. After some wandering she returned there and now lives with her husband and the daintiest Rottweiler on the planet. When not drowning herself in coffee, as is custom in the Greater Seattle Area, Gretchen can be found at her day job or sitting at her desk in the home office, flailing her arms as she dictates to her computer.

Rain by A.L. Woods



Rain by A.L. Woods is now live!



Allegra
I'm afraid of nothing and everything.
When that car accident changed my life twelve years ago—I thought it was over.
Dom saved me.
I used to think that I could save him, too.
He was the only one who could see me.
But then Nate came along and saw me, too.
One is my past.
Only one will be my future.
I want them both—only one of them can keep me.
Eventually, I'll have to choose.
Even if it burns me alive.


Dom
A car accident nearly killed her.
So the monster became what she needed: a hero.
But little girls grow up to whisper I love you's and forever's.
I should have never touched my best friend's little sister.
When my actions threatened her safety, I did the only thing I could think of: I married her behind her older brother's back.
A fire and a five-year prison sentence changed everything.
She threw away our vows, so I plotted my revenge.
There was only one thing I didn't factor in upon my release.
Him.


Nate
I've spent the last eleven years on the run from my past.
I bed unsuspecting women and rob them in their sleep.
My mistake was underestimating Allegra.
She beats me at my own game.
When circumstances find me at her mercy, I'm determined to erase the tattoo of her pretty hazel eyes and her body under mine from my memory.
But Allegra's fire isn't easily forgettable.
And I'm not the only one who feels that way.
We both want her.
Only one of us can keep her.
May the best man win.

A SUNRISE KIND OF LOVE


 

BOOK BLURB:

Makiya

I always dreamed this day would happen. The day where Hunter would show up on my doorstep and confess his undying love for me. I never stopped loving him no matter how hard I tried, no matter how angry I was at him for leaving.

Now, after five long years of waiting, he leans against my car with the same cocky smirk he wore when we were younger. Damn, if my body doesn’t react to him as if there was never any time lost between us. Just his gaze roving over my body makes me feel tingly all over.

I hate how smug he looks, like he knows how he still affects me. I hate that my heart still wants him after everything he’s done.

What I hate most of all, though, is that he’s about to find out the secret I’ve been keeping from him all these years. And he’s going to be pissed.

This is going to change my life forever.

Hunter

Secrets? Really, that’s how we’re playing this game? We’re keeping secrets from each other. The Ki I knew would have never kept something this big from me, but I guess she isn’t the same girl I knew.

I’m not the same guy either. She thinks I don’t want anything to do with her. That’s why she kept this from me. Well, she’s about to find out the cold, hard truth.

I’m not leaving without a fight, and I’m definitely not giving her a chance to walk away from me this time.

I spent too many years of my life, hiding from my love for her. It’s about damn time for me to stop running. So, Ki better get used to the fact that she’s going to see my handsome face everywhere.

Challenge accepted.

She was right.

Merciless Vows, the first in the all-new Blood and Thorns Duet from Faith Summers is available now!

When I was sixteen a gypsy fortune teller told me my future held darkness and death.
She was right.
But what she didn’t tell me was the devil himself would rise from hell in the form of Lucca Dyshekov and take everything from me with a gun held to my head.

He’s the Bratva assassin they all call Merciless.
On our wedding day he taught me real monsters aren’t the ones who hide in the dark.
They’re the ones who stare you in the face and steal your soul.

On a quest for revenge, he takes me and unearths secrets from the past that will cause a war.
When death lies on the horizon the enemy of my enemy becomes my friend.
In this instance, he’s my husband.
The real question is when he finishes uncovering the truth, will he keep me or kill me.
