She’d held on to the hope for a better tomorrow, not only for herself but for her two boys.
She was a woman who wanted…who deserved more.
I wasn’t a man who could give more.
I was cold, broken and full of rage.
My past had broken me.
I never allowed anyone get too close.
I’d tried to fight the pull I felt towards her.
But all the little things—her smile, her light, the feel of her skin on mine—drew me in.
It was all the little things that would become my undoing.
Leslie Wilder grew up in a small town in West Tennessee. A country girl at heart, she’s always thought that life is too short, but she had no idea how short it really was until her brother passed away in 2014. She’s always been an avid reader, loving the escape only a great book can give, and wondered if she had what it took to write one of the wild romances she’d come to adore. With the support of her family and friends, she published Inferno: A Devil Chaser’s MC, one year after her brother’s death. With him in mind, she fulfilled her lifetime dream of writing. Since then, she’s completed the Devil Chaser’s Series and continued on with the Satan’s Fury MC Series. She has so many stories in her head, and can’t wait to share each and every one.
Leslie has been blown away by the support of her readers, appreciating every message, review, and encouraging word she’s received over the past year. She looks forward to continuing this journey with them for years to come.
A vow that was meant to last a thousand lifetimes.
A LIE that destroyed everything in its wake.
A lie that shattered our love.
A lie that ruined our souls.
A lie that broke our vows.
Or so we thought.
Broken promises were never our thing, but how do we overcome a lie that has been our reality for the past ten years?
How do we see, Beneath the Lies?
Célia Pereira resides in Ontario, Canada, in the heart of Toronto. She and her family immigrated from Portugal when she and her brother were little but traveled back each summer. She speaks Portuguese fluently, as it is her first language.
Célia works full-time as a spa manager in one of Toronto’s well-known facial spas by day, and by night she lets her imagination run wild and creates dramatic stories.
When she’s not working, she spends her time with all her adoptive nephews and nieces, but where you can find her most often is in a Starbucks, lost in a book with a caramel macchiato in hand.
With the world at my feet, I have it all. I’m respected and feared by men, wanted and desired by women. The only code I live by is my own.
Haunted by my brother’s death, all I seek is vengeance. I crave it. There’s nothing I want more than to watch his killers burn.
Then one night, everything changes when a straightforward debt collection becomes complicated. Little did I know, my collateral would be more dangerous to me than I could’ve ever imagined.
Eleni…
Love is something I’ve never allowed myself to even think about. It’s simply not a part of my plan. And I always have a plan, I’m always prepared. Or so I thought.
All it takes is one night for life as I’ve known it to come crashing down around me. Secrets, betrayal, and lies have led me straight into the arms of a killer.
He represents everything I hate—taking lives, while I want to save them.
But things are not what they seem and beneath all his darkness lies something I never expected. What scares me the most is that he’s breaking all the rules I ever had.
I turn around and my mouth opens and closes in quick succession when I see where that voice came from. My blue eyes meet his emerald green ones and I feel a shiver of anticipation run down my spine. He was six-foot two of tanned perfection. Jet black hair, green eyes and a body to die for. Wrapped up in an all-black outfit, which made him look more polished then every man in here. There was an aura about him that had me feeling cautious, although he did not look any more threatening than anyone else in here, there was something about him. Something wickedly alluring that had me pause in deep expectation. He looks down at me coolly, his eyebrow cocking at my reaction. He knows exactly what is going through my mind. He smirks wolfishly, showing off his pearly white teeth as he take a drag of his cigarette. I watch as his eyes devour me, and I feel my cheeks flush in response.
Eleni perplexed me. She wasn’t like the normal broads that I was used to meeting, that dropped their panties at me without me having to flash as much as a smile. I’d give her a couple of days of settling before she caved. I would make her beg for me; they always give into me in the end. I could do with a new plaything to amuse me for a while, the things that I would do to her would have her asking for more and more. I couldn’t wait to make her submit to me.

After amassing almost twenty million reads across online interactive apps Sarah decided to take it to the next level with her latest book Dark Temptation part of the Dark Hearts series.
A-list Hollywood actress, Scarlett, has been called every name in the book. Most she’s earned with her attention-seeking antics, high-maintenance personality, and bed-hopping. But even the most glamorous and sought-after actress can have a vulnerable center hidden beneath the glittery exterior. Years in the spotlight have battered Scarlett into a woman she no longer recognizes. Hitting rock bottom in a humiliating public display finally wakes her up to the disaster her life has become. It’s time for Scarlett to hang up her stage name, move somewhere no one will find her, and start over as plain old Michaela Hudson.
If there’s one thing mechanic Keith Benson hates, it’s a rich woman who thinks the world should bow at her feet. Someone like that hot mess of an actress Scarlett who can’t take a breath without wanting her adoring fans to shower her with love. Pretentious women make him sick. But he finds a doozy when he comes to the rescue of a standard motorist. Within five seconds, the gorgeous Michaela rubs him the wrong way. He wants no part of her, no matter how his body responds. Unfortunately, she moves onto his block and quickly befriends his siblings. He has enough problems, including an abusive father bent on screwing up Keith’s life. The last thing he needs is an uppity neighbor he hates but can’t get off his mind.
While settling into her new life is smoother than Michaela feared, it’s not all sunshine and smiles. She’s always worried someone will discover her true identity, and she can’t stop thinking about the grouchy neighbor she angered after long her first night in town. While she hopes to remain anonymous for as long as possible, she can’t avoid Keith forever. With a little work, they develop a tentative friendship, which turns complicated once they give into the scorching heat between them.
As they cautiously grow closer, Keith’s problems bleed into Michaela’s issues, wreaking havoc on an already tenuous connection. Is there any chance for the disgraced Hollywood star and the man who loathes her?

“Who are you?” I ask, my eyes still shut. This is no ordinary monster.
“I am Nolan Kilpatrick. Underboss to the Kilpatrick crime family. Chief Financial Officer of Kilpatrick Inc. Sergey Barinov’s most fierce enemy. Your captor. That is who I am.”
For a second, I stop breathing. I just stop fucking breathing. It’s not that my lungs don’t work, or that my brain won’t move, it’s more of an existential crisis; like a meat hook has lowered around my soul and then ripped it out of my body.
The fear is paralyzing.
Then, as it all sinks in, that dreadful numbness is replaced by a raw burst of suffering.
If I thought the pain in my throbbing head was bad, it’s nothing compared to the rupture of pure horror in my heart.
He’s Irish.
That’s when my eyes finally flick back open. And when I turn to face my captor, I see that same chest pounding stranger that subdued me in Manuel’s office.
Even in the soft light of this bedroom, a darkness shades his handsome features. Those cold grey eyes smolder like ashy embers over striking cheekbones. His thick red lips are shut tight.
Even through the fine material of his smoky grey suit I can sense the power of his body.
This man is pure beast. A brutally beautiful monster.
And he’s captured me.
For years, I watched her. Drank her in as she performed in front of an empty theatre, pretending every seat was occupied, the cello settled between her legs as her dainty fingers made love to the strings…one beautiful note after the other.
She thought she was alone, that no one heard her play. But I did. I heard every note, every tune, every vibrato. It drowned out the voices. Silenced the demons. It gave me peace.
I’d hide in the shadows so I could get high on the music that stemmed from her soul. It was entrancing. Beautiful. Utterly hypnotic.
She has no idea that I exist—that I live for the nights she performs for me, and me alone. But she will.

The Devil Killed My Father, So I Took His Daughter…
Stealing the Bratva princess was just the start.
To draw her father out of hiding, I’ll need to make her scream.
There’s only one problem.
Every time she opens those pretty pink lips,
I’m tempted to smother them with my own.
That wasn’t part of the plan.
This is my forbidden captive. The daughter of my enemy.
She’s supposed to inspire hate.
Not threaten to thaw my icy heart.
But it only takes one taste, and I’m obsessed.
I need to claim her.
Break her. Own her.
… It’s the only way to save her.
Because for as brutal as I am,
Something even worse is coming.
And without my protection,
Valentina could lose more than just her innocence.
She could lose her life.
*Brutal Savior is a standalone Dark Mafia Enemies to Lovers Dark Captive Romance, with mature themes and a happily ever after. It is the second book of the Brutal Reign series.
As I said in the Review for the first book…. INTENSE!! A Nerv-racking plot twist and a wild ride on a rollercoaster mixed with passionate love and hot sex. That is the perfect mixture for the perfect dark mafia romance. And here I thought, that I don’t like reading mafia storys… Well it turns out that Sasha Leone did a great job. I can’t get enough of the Kilpatrick Brothers.
Brutal Savior (Brutal Reign, #2) by Sasha Leone is about Nolan, the laywer. Whenh he first appeared in the first book, I tought he was the calm brother of all three, but it turns out, that he is just the monster that his older brother doesn’t want him to be. It is just who he is. The question is, can the sweet Bratva Princess Valentina handle the monster. She is a queen. How she handles every situation is really amazing. Even if it seems impossible.
The author did an amazing job by capturing Valentinas and Nolans character. Their development is so good. The writing is just as perfect. The plot twist really got me on the edges. I don’t think I have any emotions left. Yeah…. I admit it… I cried. Hard and ugly tears. I don’t think I’m ready for the last story. But I’m so excited for Taras and Shanes story. I think they are something special.
My name is Carter Trayland,
And I really screwed up.
Wreck My Plans, an all-new standalone enemies-to-lovers romance from Kelsey Clayton is available now!
I should’ve ended things before they began.
Instead, I wound up in a twisted love triangle,
One that I never wanted to be a part of.
The wrong choice sent my life on a whirlwind.
A woman I forced myself to love is dead.
My best friend was nearly blamed for her murder.
And the one I’ve always wanted, now wants revenge.
Her favorite person is gone, and she thinks it’s my fault.
I’m not about to correct her either.
Not when the reality is so much worse.
She can’t find out the truth of what happened.
Knowing would ruin her in ways I can’t fathom.
If blaming me is her way of coping, I’ll gladly carry that burden.
Because Tyeler Morgan is the one girl I’d protect at all costs.
Wreck My Plans is a standalone and part of the North Haven University series. It deals with sensitive topics that my be triggering to some readers.

Excerpt
“What the fuck is she doing here?”
I turn toward the door to see Carter, Jace, and Jace’s girlfriend standing there. The guys look just as shocked to see me as I am to see them, but the girl next to Jace is most likely picturing ways to murder me in her mind.
“You two know each other?” Amelia asks.
She grunts. “Not exactly, but I know enough of her to know she’s a fucking bitch.”
“Woah,” Kennedy steps in. “Easy, Paige.”
“Yeah, babe. Let’s calm down a little,” Jace tries, but she’s not having it.
She rips her arm out of his hold. “No! Fuck no! She tried to put you away for life, Jace. For life!”
The reminder of my best friend’s murder trial is a slap in the face, and my testimony was based off my belief that he actually did it. If I had seen the tape showing the other angle before I got on the stand, I never would have agreed to testify. The one thing I can see, though, is that Jace seems to value his life a little more than he used to, because he doesn’t try to calm his girlfriend down again.
Paige glares at me as she steps forward and into my face. “I don’t know what the fuck you’re doing here, but let me make one thing clear: if you try fucking with my friends, my family, we’re going to have serious issues.”
There is absolutely nothing that I find intimidating about this girl. To be honest, it looks like I could have the right guy punt her across a football field. But I can respect her loyalty to her friends and the courage to jump into the lion’s den to defend them.
I used to have that.
She turns around and walks back toward Jace. “Come on. We’re leaving.”
“No. Allow me.” I interrupt and my eyes find Carter’s. “Suddenly, this is the last place I want to be.”
Neither Kennedy or Amelia try to stop me as I slip out the door—not that I expected them to. They’ve been friends with them longer. Of course, Carter manages to take everything from me. He took Davi. Now he already has Kennedy and Amelia. There’s no way those two will have anything to do with me once I start doing things to get back at Carter, and nothing will stand in the way of my plans.
Nothing.
As if he has an actual death wish, the door opens and Carter comes running out, calling my name. I consider not stopping. I’m sure nothing good can come from talking to him, but my anger is enough to get me to freeze.
“Don’t leave,” he tells me. “I’m sorry for what Paige said.”
I balk. “For what Paige said? That’s what you’re sorry for?”
Running his fingers through his hair, he sighs. “Not the only thing, but it’s something I’m sorry for. Can we just go somewhere and talk?”
A bark of humorless laughter echoes out of me. “No. I don’t want to go anywhere with you. I don’t even want to fucking look at you.” My fists clench, and I can feel my nails digging into my skin as he stays quiet. “You just have the perfect life, don’t you? You’ve got your team and your friends and your family. And where’s mine? Oh. That’s right. Six feet under, right where you fucking left her.”
