Burned Promises by Willow Winters -- My world is caving in on itself; the scars of my past threatening to consume me. I was ready to fall from the top of my empire and I didn't give a damn. But then she showed up; falling back into my life and into my bed. My sweetheart. I should let her walk away again; I'm a bad man, but I'm too selfish. This time, I'm keeping her.
Dirty Debt by Lauren Landish -- It's time to collect on the biggest debt anyone in the city owes me. Jacob Waters, the bastard that killed my father. He's an abusive prick and he'll pay the ultimate price. But before I take him down, I'm taking his most prized possession. His precious Sarah.
Bound to the Bad Boy - Crystal Kaswell -- Brendon. My best friend's brother. The smoking hot tattoo artist miles and miles out of my league. He wants me. He wants me bound. I've had a crush on him since I can remember, but can I really handle him like *this*?
Protector by Bella Love-Wins -- Robin - I bump into the bad boy who broke my sister's heart nine years ago, and everything changes. I never expect forbidden fireworks, secrets and danger at every turn, and a hero in my corner when I need him most.
Redeeming Viktor by Alexis Abbott -- A passionate one-night-stand ends in heartbreak. Five years later, and he's back, but can what they have be rekindled once he realizes they have a daughter?
Hostage by Vivian Wood -- World-weary ex-soldier Sam isn’t expecting to find beautiful, broken Kat in the snow. When he takes her back to his hunting lodge and cleans her bruises, she tries to flee. Scared for her life. Sam is determined to protect the delicate blonde from the world, even if that means putting his life on the line. Now that he’s found her, he won’t let her go…
Lumberjack Boss by Tabatha Kiss -- Wealth. Power. Wood. Three things I had more of than anybody else until Hazel showed up to protest my latest project. She won’t take my money. She doesn’t care about my family’s influence. Maybe a little wood is what she needs... and I’ve got more than enough to give her.
Bloodlines by Aubrey Irons -- Once upon a time, he was my prince not-so-charming. But there are no happy ever afters with life in the Dark Saints Irish mafia. I swore I’d never come back to Boston after he pushed me away six years ago. But that’s before there was a price on my head, and I needed protection. I won’t fall for him again. Giving in to temptation this time around doesn’t mean a broken heart. It means we’re dead.
Hard Rock Promise by Athena Wright -- I thought it'd be an easy job when my friend asked me to "babysit" her out-of-control brother — her playboy, arrogant, *sinfully sexy* older brother. As the bassist in the rock band Cherry Lips, Gael's had more than his fair share of women. But his dirty, sexy words ignite my body, just as his promises of forever ignite my heart. Is Gael playing me or playing for keeps?
Also included are:
Crossfire by KB Winters
One Night Stand by Kylie Walker
Signed SEAL'd Delivered by Holly Hart
A Fake Wife by Sierra Rose
I didn't know I was a dad...
As a Navy SEAL, I do the sh*t no one else can handle, and I'm good at it.
But I keep thinking of the one that got away. The one I let get away. A scorching hot one-night-stand, and suddenly Rebecca is in my blood. When my best friend dies in the line of duty, I realize I gotta get out if I want any hope of having a family. If I want to have a future.
So I find her. I need her to give me a second chance. When she tells me our tryst started a family for us, though? I can hardly believe my good luck.
I never expected the war to follow me home. I never expected to have to be this man again. Rebecca and our daughter shouldn’t have to see this side of me. But I can’t be just a daddy, or just a lover any more.
To protect the ones I love I need to be a cold-hearted killer, and make everyone threatening my family pay in blood.
You're not supposed to fall in love with your arresting officer.
Officer Declan Riley was hot as hell. I noticed that, even as he was leading me to the arrest vans. The cops wanted us on prostitution charges. We were just ladies serving drinks in the near nude. In Sin City, you'd figure that was barely a crime... except for the fact that we were caught surrounded by mountains of coke.
It was all over for me, except Officer Riley saved my hide.
One kiss, one date, one broken condom.
That Valentine's Day changed my life forever.
These six bad boys are used to getting what they want...
Hitmen. They're the toughest of the tough, but with their ladies, they're as sweet as can be. If you're looking for an adrenaline rush, soft girls learning to be strong, and hard men learning to be loving, with a happily-ever-after bow tied on top, you're not going to want to miss this collection.
Alexis Abbott's Hitmen novels have graced all the Amazon best-seller charts, and have grown a rabid fanbase that praises the series as fresh, sexy, dangerous, explosive and swoonworthy.
Out of the darkest evil will come the strongest love.
I've never met a woman like her. Damaged, just like me, but with a clever mind that she knows is a dangerous weapon, and curves for days. Every second I spend with her, it becomes clearer: it's us against the world.
The Bratva want me to break her. They force me to try, but they made a dangerous mistake. She has a part of my soul now, and I have a part of hers. I'm a bad man, but I'm going to do right by her. I'm going to prove to her that even in the darkness, there's always something worth fighting for.
I’ll kill them all for her. When it’s all over, and she doesn’t need me for revenge anymore, we won't be able to walk away from our love. She’s been taken by the hitman, and I won’t let her go.
She needs to behave, or I’ll be forced to punish her.
Delaney Underwood is sexy as hell, with a killer body, wicked smile, and a spoiled rotten demeanor. She's a pampered rich girl, thinking she can get anything she wants, whenever she wants.
It pisses me off. I've struggled to survive, and I have the scars to prove it. Delaney’s going to make me a wealthy man, once her parents pay to get their precious angel back.
But every time I look at those sassy lips, I wanna put them to good use. Delaney has gotten under my skin and she knows it. Even before I took her hostage, she'd somehow managed to work her way into my blood, and my heart hammers harder in my chest every time she stares daggers in my direction.
She's craving someone like me in her life, whether she knows it or not, and with every bratty outburst, a part of me calls out to discipline her. She needs to be taught a lesson.
And I need her, all to myself. I promised to ransom her off, but once I have a taste of her sweet curves, I'm keeping her to myself.
She’s the hitman’s hostage and she’ll learn to love it.
I was supposed to protect her. Now, I'll kill the men who took her.
I’m leaving my dark past behind me, where it belongs, and it seems like fate has finally smiled on me when she comes into my life.
Innocent, pure, and with a bright future ahead of her, she’s the girl I always wanted and never deserved.
Then, those scumbags steal her right from under of my nose.
But they don’t know who I am, or the lives I’ve taken. They’re out to make some quick cash by selling a pure bride, and there’s no way I’m going to let that happen. Not to her.
I have to risk everything to save her.
Then, I’ll try to win her heart and make her mine.
“I was sent to kill her.”
There was one rule for this job. No witnesses.
Then I saw her. She wasn't supposed to be there, and I can only imagine what those dirtbags had been planning for her with her gorgeous blonde hair and her deadly curves. So I did the one thing I knew I shouldn't: I killed every a**hole in that room and I took her as my prize.
I don't save people's lives. I'm a killer, a hired hitman for the Russian mob. But I tell her to trust me, and I mean it. I'm not going to let anyone take her away from me. I'd sworn off women long ago, but I can't resist her long legs and wicked mind, and every time I tell myself I'm being foolish, she gets down on her knees and begs me not to leave her.
I'd rather die than lose her and the baby I know she'll give me.
She was the girl that got away. Now she thinks I murdered her dad.
Cherry LaBeau. More like Cherry Bomb, the way she walked back into my life, accusing me of killing her father.
She's a fiery mystery from my past, and this time, I'm not going to let her get away.
But first, I have to prove to her that we're lookin' for the same person. That whoever killed her dad has been screwing with my club and the people I care about most. So I'm going to find the scumbag who hurt my Cherry, and my club, and I'm going to make them pay.
Even if I have to turn back to my former hitman ways...
She's terrified of me. She should be.
I'm no saint, but apparently even killers have limits. When the Bratva hired me as security for the night, I didn't know it was a flesh trade. I could have kept my cool, done my job, but then I saw her. Pure as a lily, dressed in skimpy lingerie, and being auctioned off to the foulest men in Brighton Beach.
I'm not used to this white knight sh*t, but I did what I had to do. I outbid those pieces of trash and bought myself a bride.
What the hell do I do with a sweet, subservient woman who's been trained to obey her husband? I can think of some things my baser instincts want me to do... But when she submits to me, I'm going to be the man that deserves it, not just the one she owes it to. So I'm going to make her life better. I'm going to make her want me just as bad as I want her.
And at night, when my new princess is slumbering, I'm going to make every one of those pimps pay in blood. I will protect her... and our unborn baby.
“You will be my woman for a year, servant to my whims and desires. I will not hurt you, unless you want me to.”
I'm in deep to the Mafia. My father was the one who made the deal, and when I inherited his club, I also inherited his troubles.
Ivan wants to save me, or so he says. More like he wants me to be his slave for a year. After the one-night stand I had with him, though, would that be so bad? With his impossibly hard body, and the way he always makes me scream...
But he's still a monster. He's a criminal, and something so much worse.
And yet I can't stop the tingling in my body every time I think of how he touched me, and those dark but delicious words rolling off his tongue, tinged with his Russian accent.
He knows what I'll say, even before I do. "I'll take your offer."
All I have to do is spy on Dimitri Brokov. The Dimitri Brokov. Billionaire, CEO, Russian Mobster, and my step-brother.
I can have it all. A fling with the hot, tattooed and totally off-limits jerk, half a million dollars and, best of all, the sweet taste of revenge to mend my broken heart.
Spying on Dimitri might just get me killed, but every time anger flickers into his eyes, I move a little closer. Every time he touches me, I get a little hotter.
I'm supposed to be in control, but I keep going back for more. His hands on me are addictive, the danger he's in thrills me. And when he ties me to his bed so I can't run, we share more than a night of passion; we share a purpose. A mission. One that threatens everything we thought we knew.
He was my protector. My savior. He would have done anything for me.
Now he's a criminal, and he's taken everything.
He's my stepbrother and I hate him.
I'm homeless, jobless, desperate. And I had to come crawling back. To him.
Bad enough my college money went to post his bail, now I have to work in the same, seedy bar he deals out of, too, just to get by? And listen to him with girl after girl, night after night, while he walks around all shirtless and sexy during the day?
I'm going crazy--wanting him. I know I shouldn't.
Maybe he was once my Prince Charming, but now he's just a big, tattooed, pierced, cocky jerk.
Problem is, even though he cut contact with me two years ago, I couldn't turn off the feeling I had for him. He's back, and my feelings are back too.
Now he's in trouble, with his gang, with the law.
And me... I'm in trouble, too.
I actually have HUGE news lately that I am so excited for. As of today, my bestselling Hitmen series is now available on all ebook vendors. This has been something requested from so many fans, and I'm so thrilled to be able to share my books across the world! To celebrate, Owned by the Hitmen is FREE for a limited time, anywhere you buy books!
Secondly, I've started putting my books into audiobook format! This is a huge & expensive endeavor that's been such a wonderful experience for me. Working with the SAG-Actress Lauren Sweet has been so smooth, and I'm sure everyone will agree that her voice really breathes life into my characters.
In Sold to the Hitman, Lauren is joined by the very sexy James Cavenaugh as Andrei.
Right now, Owned by the Hitman and Sold to the Hitmen are available in audiobook format. Through my new Patreon page I'm hoping to fund the other five books in this series :)
What books have most influenced your life most?
It's surprisingly not a romance book! But Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan has definitely made the biggest impression on me. It helped me to be more understanding and empathetic, yet skeptical, and I try to bring that into all of my novels. I always see the best in people, and always want for people to live a happy and fulfilling life. Demon Haunted World definitely helped me be more optimistic, hopeful and loving :)
The Flowers in the Attic series by V.C. Andrews shaped my love of twisted tales early on. Which is perhaps part of why I write about romance between people on the wrong side of the tracks caught up in twisted circumstances.
Do you have a specific writing style?
I try to be really detailed. I want to bring the scene to life for people, so that they feel as if they can see the scenes as they play out. I try to focus on all the senses to do so.
Do you recall how your interest in writing originated?
I was just a kid and was always writing or journalling or reading. I spent my childhood with my nose in a book. I read everything! True crime, romance, horror, literary fiction... Anything I could get my hands on. I met my husband on the internet when I was 16 years old, and so our relationship developed because of writing. We used to write each other love letters and stories, and when I moved in with him at 18, we never stopped.
What book are you reading now?
One of my best friends, J. Margot Critch, is a Harlequin Blaze romance author. I'm reading her latest, In Her Best Friend's Bed. We're actually going to be doing a conference together in Newfoundland on the March 26 weekend!
Do you remember the first book you read?
The first one I remember well is Bunnicula. I loved that rabbit! Now I have my own bunny, Puddy :) You can see pictures of him on my instagram!
Who designed the covers?
I did! I started getting into graphic design when I had my first livejournal and geocities website when I was younger :) I've been hooked ever since, and I'm always trying to improve and challenge myself. I find it really relaxing and fun to be able to bring my vision to life.
If any of your books was made into a film who would you like to play the lead?
Ohh!! I would die for Tom Hardy, or Jason Momoa, or Charlie Hannam, or Jason Statham! A lot of people say my books feel like reading a suspenseful movie, so I would love to see one made :)
