Synopsis

Keegan was my world since I was six years old. When he walked out of my life, I was certain I would never see him again. He broke my heart, but truthfully I only have myself to blame. Now I’m looking into his incredibly beautiful blue eyes. He came back into my life as quickly as he left. Both of us have changed over the years, but I can’t imagine living another day without him.

My name is Aimee, and this is the story of how I lost and found my best friend and love of my life. The journey may be tough but there is no denying that Keegan, and I were destined to be together. He rescued me the day we met and had always been my prince charming. One thing I’m sure of, I’m not letting my happily ever after get away this time.

Excerpt

I close my eyes while he opens the door then slowly leads me into the space, the anticipation of what he’s going to show me making me feel like I’m floating on air.

We move around something, and then he lets go of my hand and walks away for a second, moving something around. Both of his hands then touch my hips, and I’m guided down to sit on his lap.

“Keegan,” I yelp, the action having surprised me.

“I’m going to count to five, Aimee, and then you can open those beautiful eyes.” His deep and commanding voice starts counting, “One … two … three … four … five.”

My eyes remain tightly shut as I feel his beating heart against my back, matching mine.

He laughs and puts both arms around me, holding me close with his chin on my shoulder, and I can feel his breath on my neck. I suddenly break out in goose bumps.

“It’s okay. Open them,” he whispers in my ear.

I slowly open my eyes, seeing we are sitting directly in front of his expansive window. The scene in front of me is one of beauty. I am facing the New York sky, the stars twinkling above and lights of different colors below us. I can see everything for miles, the entire city. It’s the most amazing view I have ever seen. The buildings and sky fit together like the perfect puzzle. The view at night is more glorious than I ever imagined, just as Keegan mentioned during his interview.

“This is … just … no words, Keegan.” Although him sharing this with me makes me feel something in my heart, I can’t find the words to describe it.

He holds me a little tighter. “I know. You don’t have to say anything.”

“Thank you for showing this to me,” I whisper.

“You’re welcome,” He replies in another whisper.

“No, really, thank you. I could sit here all night, looking at this.” I tell him, imagining how beautiful this scene would be watching the sun rise. Of course, what would make it special is watching it together.

“I have actually looked out these windows and watched the city all night.”

“By yourself?” I ask.

“I’ve never shared this with anyone until now.”

“Really?”

“Yes. As if I would even want to be here with anyone else.”

I melt into him. How could this man be any more perfect?

Want more of your favorite characters from the The New York Times & USA Today bestselling IN THE SHADOWS series? GOLD SHIMMER is Cass and Calder’s story.

I never thought that my plan to crash a masked party to exact a bit of revenge would fall apart so easily. It was a foolproof plan. The absolute best scenario. Moon-and-stars-aligned worthy. No one would suspect I was anyone other than the wealthy, self-absorbed girl I pretended to be. The one who would wreak havoc that night.

Then again, I also didn’t plan on running into a wall of sharp wit and steely determination named Calder. The captivating Navy SEAL might’ve called me by Celeste’s name, but he refused to let me hide my true self from him. His special brand of honest, seductive charm was impossible to resist. He was confident and demanding…and everything I wanted. But the deeper I fell, the higher the stakes rose while playing a role. So I held onto our intense connection for as long as I could, knowing that he would never know me as Cass.

When an unexpected turn of events gives me a second chance to see Calder again, of course the opportunity comes with strings attached. I had no idea how dangerously tangled and deeply knotted those strings would become, but for the one man who gave me the courage to live my life for me again, I’d do just about anything.

Even become someone else.

Note: GOLD SHIMMER is meant for readers 18+ due to mature content. This is the first book in the BLACK SHADOWS duet, Cass and Calder’s story. The duet falls within the main IN THE SHADOWS series. To read the other books in the IN THE SHADOWS series, check out books 1-3: MISTER BLACK, SCARLETT RED, and BLACKEST RED, Talia and Sebastian’s story.

20961-event2bbanners-excerpt
He stands up fast and begins to pace the small room, “I don’t want everyone to know, not that it matters now. I wasn’t jumping for joy when I won because I didn’t want to win.” He doesn’t want to win?

“What? Why not?”

“Because I don’t want to have to fucking be doing this! It’s not something I do for fun; it’s something I do because it is a damn necessity. I would love to be like you guys and be able to hang out, enjoy school, and not need to worry about how I was going to pay for my next semester, but I’m not!” He is yelling now and half of me wishes I had never made the decision to come back here.

I don’t know what to say. I guess I just assumed he was fighting to fulfill some masculine, testosterone-fueled need to hit something. I stand up and walk over to him. He has his back to me, but I decide to be brave and put my hand on him, hoping to comfort him in whatever way I can. “I’m sorry you are in this position. Maybe it would be easier on you if you weren’t hiding it, though. Everyone cares about you and they aren’t going to judge you and turn their backs on you for something like this. It may not seem like much coming from me, since we don’t know each other well, but I’m here if you ever need someone to talk to.”

He spins around, and before I know it, he spins me around and has me backed up against the wall. He slams his hands on either side of my head, trapping my hands with them, and then crushes his mouth to mine. I let out a gasp of surprise and he takes advantage, slipping his tongue into my mouth. His kiss is so frenzied and urgent, so full of need. It’s unlike anything I have ever experienced in my life. I’m not innocent—I’ve been kissed by plenty of guys—but never like this.

He’s taking complete control over me and dominating every sense of my being. He pulls back a little, biting down on my lower lip, causing me to moan with a mix of pleasure and pain. I open my eyes to see him staring at me with such desire my insides warm. Before I know what’s happening, he releases my hands and speeds out the door.

“I can’t wait another damn minute, Sunny, I need to be inside of you like yesterday.”
“Then what are you waiting for? Jackson, I’m so wet for you.” He lays me over the arm of the sofa with my ass propped up and my back lying across the cushions.
He kneels in front of me pulling my thong down in one slow sultry motion.
“Do you know how beautiful your pussy is, Sunny?”
“As beautiful as your enormous cock?” I reply.
“You and that dirty mouth. It’s going to get you in trouble, do you know that?”
“I sure hope so.” I smirk.
Without another word, he licks me from the bottom entrance up to my clit. His tongue is stiff and wide as it passes smoothly up my slick channel. He slowly rubs circles around my entrance with his fingers as he batters my clit with the same hard motions of his tongue. I feel the tingling of another orgasm building once again in my core. He quickly shoves two fingers inside of me. I see fireworks as he picks up the speed and intensity pushing me over my peak. He waits for my breathing to slow while gently lapping at my pussy.

Brenda-Trim-and-Tami-Julka

About the Authors:

 
Neither Brenda nor Tami grew up writing stories or dreaming
of one day being authors but that changed when they shared a joint dream of
creating a world to bring to life the stories of a group of dangerously
handsome supernaturals.
 
Brenda is a Southern California girl who grew up in chaos,
having ten siblings. Her mother is a brave, courageous woman who gave birth to
a small village of children and has successfully battled advanced stage breast
cancer for almost two years. Her parents did something right and taught Brenda
how to persevere and accomplish whatever she set her mind to. Whether that was
completing her bachelors and Masters degrees, or writing books, she is always
up for a challenge.
 
Brenda survived the brutal murder of her first husband, John
DeCaprio, at the hands of the children he was counseling to go on and help
children in similar situations. Brenda remarried years later and now lives with
her husband and their three fun-loving, energetic children. She loves running, reading,
cooking, and Monster Energy drinks. And, Tami’s margaritas!
 
Tami is a southern girl, born and raised in Georgia. She is
married and has two boys, so needless to say, she is surrounded by
testosterone. We are trying to bottle Tami’s strength and positive outlook on
life. It has helped her beat breast cancer and she is a proud three-year
survivor. She loves reading paranormal romances, running at the lake near her
home, watching college football (Go Dawgs!!!), and is always in search of the
next best margarita.
 
Their life journeys led them both to Texas and one another.
They fast became best friends and can always be found together. Whether it’s
lounging by the pool or writing steamy love scenes, they are frequently seen
pissing themselves from laughter. It’s embarrassing, really. But that’s ok,
life is good!!
 
 
 
 
Suvis Revenge
Title:  Suvi’s Revenge
Series:  Rowan Sisters’ Trilogy #3
Authors:   Brenda Trim and Tami Julka
Genre:  Paranormal Romance
Recommended Age:  18+
Synopsis:


Suvi is the youngest of the Rowan triplets, but prefers high
heels to combat boots, and always choose the club over the battlefield.
Unfortunately, if she isn’t rebuilding the business she shares with her
sisters, she’s searching for their archenemy, Cele. Through all of the trials
that Suvi and her sisters have been through with her sister’s mates, Suvi
believes they’ve done their part, and it’s time for a celebration, but that
isn’t in the cards for her. Suvi has waited her entire life to meet her Fated
Mate, the man who she is meant to spend the rest of her life with, but when she
finally meets him, she isn’t able to plan the party of the century. Instead,
she and her sisters have seventy-two hours to investigate a murder, locate a
rogue vampire and stop an evil witch from stealing their powers. Oh, and save
her mate from a death sentence. She wants nothing more than to spend her days
and nights in sensual oblivion with her vampire, but the clock is ticking, and
her mate’s life along with it.
 
Caine DuBray’s world is upended when he wakes up next to a
human female that has been drained dry. As the only vampire on scene, her death
is immediately pinned on him. He believes he is innocent, but he can’t recall
the details of their date. Rather than executing him immediately, the Vampire
King gives him three days to prove his innocence, and points him to the Rowan
Sisters, notorious for their growing powers and talent. He discovers that one
of the witches he is directed to is his Fated Mate and their passion sets him
on fire, leaving him desperate for the chance to spend eternity with the sexy
witch. Will they be able to save him, or will Suvi face eternity without her
Fated Mate?
Excerpt:

A God stood before her. A male well above six feet tall with
a firmly muscled body took up the entrance. He wasn’t like most supernatural
males either. Most were rugged and casual, preferring jeans and t-shirts. There
were the exceptions and this male was one hell of an exception in his black
two-piece suit that was tailored to his sculpted body like a work of art. His
shaggy black hair didn’t fit his attire as disheveled as it was, falling into his
green eyes. 

The sensation of electricity rippling through her veins stunned Suvi. There was
always a rush when she practiced magic, but this was so much more than that.
She was captured by his gaze and her entire being woke to pay attention. She
noticed the haggard look on his face as he loosened his blue pin-striped tie,
walking into the store. The way he moved reminded her of a panther and she
wanted desperately to be his prey.

“What’s wrong with Suvi, daddy?” She heard Donovan ask and Braeden’s chuckle.

“You’ll understand some day, son. Come on. Let’s go get some ice cream down the
street.” She heard the door sound again when Braeden and Donovan left but she
didn’t move, she couldn’t, she was rooted to the spot.

Caught in an erotic trance, Suvi was aware that she was gawking and speechless.
In her defense, any female would be in this male’s presence. The touch of her
sisters brought her out of it, and she blushed with her embarrassment.

“Are you the Rowan sisters?” The somber note to his deep voice had Suvi doing a
double take and that’s when she noted the haunted look to his gorgeous green
eyes. She wondered what put that look there and oddly, she wanted to put a
smile on his face and make that expression disappear.

Pema extended her hand. “Yes, we are. I’m Pema and these are my sisters, Isis
and Suvi,” she pointed to them in turn. “How can we help you?” Suvi noticed how
Ronan had abandoned hanging shelves and come to stand directly behind Pema.

“I’m not sure where to begin and I don’t even know if you can do anything.” He
seemed nervous and out of sorts and Suvi wanted to promise him she’d move
heaven and earth to help him. “I’m Caine DuBray. Jace and Zander thought maybe
you three could help me with this situation I have suddenly found myself in. It’s
a nightmare really.” He paused and placed his hands in his pockets. She saw the
muscles flexed in his neck from clenching his jaw tightly.

Suvi was inexplicably drawn to him and overcome with a fierce need to erase the
shadows. She wanted to draw him into her arms and hold him tightly. She knew
what would put a smile on his face and she was happy to oblige. Not that she
was being entirely selfless given that she was pretty sure it would put a smile
on hers, too.
