Thursday’s Romantic Picks Bargain Spotlight- An Affair to Dismember by Elise Sax

an-affair-to-dismember-by-elise-saxCertain to appeal to fans of Janet Evanovich, Jennifer Crusie, and Katie MacAlister, Elise Sax’s hilarious series debut introduces matchmaker-in-training Gladie Burger, who stumbles into a dangerous quagmire of murder and red-hot romance.

Three months has been Gladie Burger’s limit when it comes to staying in one place. That’s why Gladie is more than a little skeptical when her eccentric Grandma Zelda recruits her to the family’s matchmaking business in the quaint small town of Cannes, California. What’s more, Gladie is also highly unqualified, having a terrible track record with romance. Still, Zelda is convinced that her granddaughter has “the gift.” But when the going gets tough, Gladie wonders if this gift has a return policy.

When Zelda’s neighbor drops dead in his kitchen, Gladie is swept into his bizarre family’s drama. Despite warnings from the (distractingly gorgeous) chief of police to steer clear of his investigation, Gladie is out to prove that her neighbor’s death was murder. It’s not too long before she’s in way over her head—with the hunky police chief, a dysfunctional family full of possible killers, and yet another mysterious and handsome man, whose attentions she’s unable to ignore. Gladie is clearly being pursued—either by true love or by a murderer. Who will catch her first?

“Need a vacation?  Get ready for a real treat and sail away to Destiny Bay, courtesy of one of the very best authors I know.  I’ll meet you there!”

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Marie Ferrarella

The Carringtons, like most rich, influential people, are good-looking, fast-driving, hard-hitting men and women whose impulses lead them into trouble every time. But most of the ladies reach that stage of life where a yearning to bring a baby into the world begins to take over. Some of their men feel the same and some have to be convinced. Here are a few of their stories.

This boxed set includes books 1, 2 and 3 of the DESTINY BAY–BABY DREAMS SERIES

Book 1-DESTINY BAY–BABY DREAMS
Husband Wanted:Will Train

It seemed a harmless game–until she found out who he really was.

Charity Ames is trapped into a lie and she hates it. She needs a man to pretend to be her husband for a few days–so she hires one. Expecting a gargoyle, she’s amazed when he turns out to be a very appealing hunk.

Ross wants something Charity has, so when he gets the chance to pretend to be her husband, he takes it. But Charity is not the brittle business woman he expects and he falls hard and fast for her barefoot, South Seas image. Trouble is, it’s an image she’s trying to deep six, and she can’t really believe a man from a prominent family like his–and with a terrifying mother like he’s got — would want anything to do with a girl of her shady past.

When she finds out he’s trying to trick her just like she’s trying to trick her aunt, she’s heartbroken and resentful. Can true love bridge the gap between their backgrounds and set the stage for baby-making happiness?
Includes love scenes.

Original version published in print by SILHOUETTE DESIRE and recently revised as part of the Destiny Bay Series.

Book 2-DESTINY BAY–BABY DREAMS
The Baby Invasion

Scott Carrington–bachelor for life. The man is downright allergic to children. So when divorced mom Cathy Feenstra appears next door with six young ones in her care, he vows to stay as far away as he can, no matter how cute and sexy she is.
But Fate is not on his side. When a bad guy threatens Cathy, Scott finds himself playing protector, and before he knows what hit him, he’s racing across the countryside with a van full of babies and a cuddly woman he’s rapidly falling for.

Includes love scene.

Original version published in print by SILHOUETTE DESIRE and recently revised as part of the Destiny Bay Series.

Book 3-DESTINY BAY–BABY DREAMS
Waiting for Someone Like You

Like Spy versus Spy–Kat Clay is sure that Tanner Carrington is involved in trying to con her naïve mother, while Tanner thinks Kat is a gold digger after his rich uncle. They’re both wrong, but it takes untangling to find that out, and in the meantime, they fall for each other-hard.

Includes love scenes.

empty-net-by-toni-aleo

In Toni Aleo’s third novel in her hot Assassins series, the chiseled men of this Nashville hockey team can make anything happen when they go all out for the women they want—even turn a one-night stand into a happily ever after.

Audrey Parker is up against the boards. She’s stuck in a job she hates and pining for a total jerk. Meanwhile, her sister Fallon is moving out and getting married to hockey star Lucas Brooks. Where is Audrey’s Prince Charming? Nothing she does has ever seemed to be good enough for any of the men in her life. Audrey’s about to hit rock bottom . . . until she wakes up next to Tate Odder.

The thrill of moving up from the minors to the Nashville Assassins was a welcome distraction. But not even becoming the first rookie goalie to tally three shutouts in the Stanley Cup finals alleviates the pain. With the loss of his parents and sister weighing as heavily on his soul as ever, Tate Odder can’t keep pretending he’s okay. That’s when he meets smart, sexy Audrey. Her gentle warmth and quirky sense of humor make him feel whole for the first time in too long. But to stay that way forever, Tate must find a way to accept his past and learn to live for love.

Friday’s Romantic Picks Bargain Spotlight- Nevermore by

nevermore-by-david-niall-wilson

Nevermore is a dark, historical fantsay filled with romance, southern charm, and all the trappings of a classic historical romance. Walking the line between the occult, the paranormal, and the reality of 1800s life in The Great Dismal Swamp, Nevermore is also chock full of action and adventure. Follow Edgar Allan Poe and Lenore into The Great Dismal Swamp and experience one version of the birth of Poe’s famous poem, “The Raven.”

On the banks of Lake Drummond, on the edge of The Great Dismal Swamp, there is a tree in the shape of a woman.

One dark, moonlit night, two artists met at The Lake Drummond Hotel, built directly on the borderline of North Carolina and Virginia. One was a young woman with the ability to see spirits trapped in trees and stone, anchored to the earth beyond their years. Her gift was to draw them, and then to set them free. The other was a dark man, haunted by dreams and visions that brought him stories of sadness and pain, and trapped in a life between the powers he sensed all around him, and a mundane existence attended by failure. They were Eleanore MacReady, Lenore, to her friends, and a young poet named Edgar Allan Poe, who traveled with a crow that was his secret, and almost constant companion, a bird named Grimm for the talented brothers of fairy-tale fame.

Their meeting drew them together in vision, and legend, and pitted their strange powers and quick minds against the depths of the Dismal Swamp itself, ancient legends, and time.

Once, upon a shoreline dreary, there was a tree. This is her story.
