ABOUT A. M. HARGROVE


One day, on her way home from work as a sales manager A. M. Hargrove realized her life was on fast forward and if she didn't do something soon, it would be too late to write that work of fiction she had been dreaming of her whole life. So she rolled down the passenger window of her fabulous (not) company car and tossed out her leather briefcase. Luckily, the pedestrian in the direct line of fire was a dodge ball pro and had über quick reflexes enabling him to avoid getting bashed in the head. Feeling a tad guilty about the near miss, A. M. made a speedy turn down a deserted side street before tossing her crummy, outdated piece-of-you-know-what laptop out the window. She breathed a liberating sigh of relief, picked up her cell phone, called her boss, and quit her job. Grinning, she made another call to her hubs and told him of her new adventure (after making sure his heart was beating properly again).

So began A. M. Hargrove's career as a Naughty and Nice Romance Author.

Her books include Adult, New Adult and Young Adult Romances, including, The Guardians of Vesturon Series (Survival, Resurrection, Determinant, reEmergent, and the novella Beginnings); Dark Waltz and Death Waltz (The Praestani Novels); The Edge Series (Edge of Disaster, Shattered Edge, and Kissing Fire); The Tragic Series (Tragically Flawed and Tragic Desires); Exquisite Betrayal; Dirty Nights: The Novel; and The Hart Brothers Novels (Freeing Her, Freeing Him, and Kestrel).

ABOUT EASY MELODY: Callie Mills never intended to return to New Orleans and the life she left behind more than a decade ago. There was no need to open old wounds when she had the life she’d worked hard for in Denver. But when she’s fired from her awesome job in Colorado and her father dies, she has no choice but to return home to run the derelict bar left to her in the heart of the French Quarter. Callie must not only face bad memories but turn The Odyssey into something she can be proud of. And who better to help bring in crowds of people than Declan Boudreaux? Declan is a sought-after musician who knows he’s good at what he does and loves doing it. Known to pack the house, he also loves women and doesn’t expect to be knocked back a step by the beautiful new owner of The Odyssey. Callie is sharp, gorgeous and funny, and makes him yearn for something he never has before… Commitment. But when Callie’s able to turn the business around with renovations, making it one of the hottest bars in the Quarter, will she sell out and leave her past behind once and for all, or will Declan be able to convince her that’s she’s where she needed to be all along…in his arms.

EXCERPT

Here goes nothing.

              It’s still early in the evening, but it’s not a typical busy night, and I’m hoping I’ll be able to get Callie alone, even if it’s just for a few moments so I can talk to her. I don’t want to wait until later tonight to walk her to her car.

              I walk in and sigh in relief. It’s slow in The Odyssey, with just a few tables occupied, and a couple of guys at the bar. The roof is closed, which tells me it’s been mellow all day.

              Perfect.

              As I walk toward the bar, I see Callie at the far end talking to a tall suit-type who’s handing her flowers.

              “Oh, Pete, you didn’t have to do that.” She’s smiling as she buries her nose in the blooms.

              “Well, dinner out just hasn’t worked out, so I decided to come to you.”

              Who the fuck is this?

              “We’ve both been busy,” Callie says as she shifts her gaze and finds me standing not far behind Flower Boy. Her eyes widen and her cheeks pinken. I stand firm, cross my arms over my chest, and watch unapologetically.

              Mine.

              “I know things ended between us a long time ago,” the dude continues, “but I’ve never forgotten you, Cal. Let me take you out, like old times.”

              Fuck that.

              “Callie,” I say, my voice calm but firm. “Can I talk to you for a minute?”

              “Adam can get you a drink. We’re having a conversation,” Pete says, obviously pissed at being interrupted.

              I bet he’s been practicing his speech for a week.

              “Now,” I say simply.

              “I’ll be back,” she says to Pete, then walks around the bar and motions for me to follow her. As soon as we’re in her office, I close the door and move her against it, caging her in.

              “Is he who you want, Callie?” I’m panting, adrenaline taking over. Callie’s blue eyes are wide and pinned to mine. She’s gripped on to my shirt over my ribs, holding on tightly. “Say he is, and I’ll leave right now.”

              She blinks once, then again.

              “That’s what I thought,” I plunge one hand into her soft hair, fist my hand in it and tilt her head back, and kiss her. Hard. She moans, long and deep, pulling me to her with those hands, and I’m lost in her. Our tongues explore each other, and then I nibble the corner of her mouth and kiss her softly. “I’m tired of trying to keep my hands off of you,” I murmur, my lips still against hers.

    

And don’t forget to grab the first book in the Boudreaux Series!

RELEASE DAY BLAST: Kissing Her Crush by Ophelia London

We are celebrating the release of KISSING HER CRUSH by Ophelia London! 

Title: KISSING HER CRUSH (Sugar City #2) by Ophelia London

Age group: Adult

Genre: Sweet Romance

Publisher: Entangled Bliss

Scheduled to release: November 9, 2015

Goodreads

He's sweet trouble...
Natalie Holden wants three things: To be the best chocolate chemist in Hershey, Pennsylvania, to prove her chocolate recipe can help teenage depression, and to get over gorgeous Luke Elliott, the guy she's had a crush on since birth. Unfortunately, he's the microbiologist set to debunk her chocolate study. And, of course, he looks more delicious than ever!

Luke Elliott is still bitter over his divorce. Work is his passion now, and landing a huge promotion is just what he needs. What he doesn't need is a crackpot trying to prove that chocolate cures depression. The last thing he expects is for the crackpot to be Natalie Holden--his "what if" girl from high school--or that she'd still tempt the hell out of him.

They may not see eye-to-eye on her project, but they can't deny the explosive chemistry that keeps pulling them together. Even when it risks their jobs and the very different futures they both want...

Book 2 in the Sugar City series (book one is LOVE BITES), but both are stand alone books.

A HAUNTING DESIRE
By: Julie Mulhern

New Orleans, 1902 

A killer walks the streets of New Orleans, eviscerating men and leaving them in the streets, and for madam Trula Boudreaux, it's bad for business. Trula needs help but she's not prepared for Zeke Barnes, the charming would-be savior who darkens her doorway-or the yearning he awakens.

Investigating the killer was one thing, but Zeke can't help but be enchanted by the gorgeous mystery woman who runs an exclusive brothel. Caught between his duty to protect the city and his clear-as-day desire for Trula, Zeke sets about capturing Trula's heart-or at least a place in her bed. But with every moment Trula resists, Zeke falls into greater danger. 

For his investigation into the haunted city and madam doesn't just risk his heart but both their lives.

Murder, a mysterious stranger, and the macabre beauty of New Orleans tradition made A HAUNTING DESIRE delightfully dark and erotic. It's hard to resist the lure of a such a timeless, romantic tale.

Beautifully broken characters both colorful and strange. Haunted by the past, unable to dream.

Trula immediately won my heart and admiration. She was a woman who took the worst of circumstances and made life the best she could, for not just herself, but those that surrounded her. She was smart, strong, tough but compassionate. A woman ahead of her time. She'd suffered a lot of heartache and kept everyone at arm's length. Never allowing anyone into her bed or her heart. She had a wonderful wit and a fierce will.

Zeke... a real man of mystery. The original 'Man In Black'. While he immersed himself in Storyville's current crime wave, he weaved his way into a very stubborn Trula's business and heart. With his own troubled history, he throws himself into the world of the unexplained and unknown. And nearly falls at Trula's feet.

Together, they vow to solve the disturbing and bizarre murders plaguing the small town and threatening its' livelihood. If they can just ignore the pull they feel in each other's presence... And the persistent whispers of pesky ghosts.

If you adore the allure of New Orleans and it's dark magical history, this one's for you.
Beautifully written with lush and vivid  details, A HAUNTING DESIRE will seduce you and keep you on the edge of your seat.

Armageddon has arrived and the kings of hell are out for Hannah’s blood.

Hannah is the only one that can destroy hell and save the world from destruction. She diligently trains with her father in preparation of her final battle with evil.

 Tich is an Oklahoma resident and the mother of five. Her passion for reading started at an early age when her Aunt Vicky gave her the novel Heidi for Christmas. She didn't start writing until middle school, after being inspired by her best friend's short stories. "Genny's stories weren't just great but they inspired me to put my pen and paper to good use." Tich never thought of publishing her works until working with Teresa on the Royal Blood series.
