Trevor Strong Manor Release Blitz & Giveaway

Trevor Strong never expected that stopping to check on an elderly neighbor would lead to uncovering a dangerous mystery—one that involves a cunning young girl with a past darker than anyone could have imagined. As he steps in to help, he finds himself tangled in secrets, deception, and an unexpected guardianship that threatens to change his life forever.

Henrie Jamison has spent her life keeping people at a distance. With a sharp mind and a sharper wit, she’s used to taking care of herself. But when Trevor barrels into her carefully controlled world, she starts to wonder if she’s finally met someone she can trust.

Trevor’s protective instincts kick in the moment he lays eyes on Henrie, but will Henrie allow him to be in her life? As danger closes in, their unlikely bond turns into something deeper—something neither of them was prepared for.

Love wasn’t on their agenda, but fate had other plans.

Jade Anderson would miss the restaurant where she had worked her way through school. The closing was bittersweet, but she was happy that Ms. B was getting to retire. It wasn’t the money. She had more lucrative endeavors than waiting on the tables. It was the regulars that came in she’d miss the most. Especially the elderly Strong couple that used to come in all the time before they passed away.

Jenson Strong was told to invite the pretty waitress to a get-together for his deceased grandmother, but instead, he insulted her for being a waitress and said that she better dress appropriately for the event too.

When Jade tried to politely decline the invitation, Jenson wouldn’t take no for an answer and pushed her back down in her chair. Jade didn’t just punch him in the face but knocked him back on his ass. There was going to be hell to pay.


When Clay Strong was admitted into the hospital for emergency surgery, he first thought it was the worst thing to ever happen to him until he laid eyes on his OR nurse Lizzie. He could only see her eyes but knew he wanted to see more of her. She laughed and told him it was the medicine talking, but Clay knew better.

Clay had been working with Jade in a complex job for NASA for the past five years, developing intricate equipment for them, and a new position was opening. Clay was a shoo-in for the job, or so he was led to believe. But when the idiot told him his girlfriend’s “pedigree” didn’t meet their standards, Clay was livid, and so was Jade. Heads would roll for this….

Barkley Strong had had a rough day. He was starving, so he stopped at the mall for a quick lunch. Normally, he would stay out of other people’s business, but when he heard two women shouting at each other, he was worried for the two children in the strollers next to the fighting women. When the sound of a gunshot rang out, he knew he had to do something….

Carrie Boone hadn’t seen her sister Mattie in over fifteen years. She nor the rest of her family didn’t want anything to do with her. Mattie wasn’t a good person. But when Barkley Strong called her to tell her that her sister was dead, killed by her own mother-in-law, and her sister’s twin girls were in protective custody, Carrie wasn’t sure how she felt about that. She had already written Mattie out of her life. She didn’t want to care. But when she received a threatening phone call warning her to stay away from her sister’s babies, she knew something wasn’t right. She would get to the bottom of this….

Barton Strong thought seeing Tessa would be a good distraction. Boy, was he wrong. The woman was a slob, and all they did was fight. She had to go, and Barton was swearing off women. He was happier with his own company.

Toria Davies lost her husband to cancer after only sixteen months of marriage. Her son, Sherman, was all she had left of that relationship, and the young boy had been through a lot. Kidnapped at four, he had a fear of all men who weren’t immediate family.

The senior Barkley Strong wanted Toria to merge their finance companies. It could be a win-win situation for both. But when a disgruntled customer threatened her mother and upset her son, Barton stepped in and calmed the boy. Shermie went straight to him. She didn’t like Barton, but her son did. Now, what was she going to do?

Grace McKenna had been friends with Jenson for years, and when she got into a bind, there was no way Jenson was going to let her deal with it on her own. Jenson’s wife, Jade, loved Gracie to pieces, too.

Maverick was tired of living in a condo. Staying in a house while out of town attending a few classes had him realizing the condo life wasn’t what he wanted. He was ready for a change. His dad told him about a house he had considered getting for the foundation, but it had too much land. Maverick took a look and fell in love with it as soon as he walked in the front door. The banker did warn him, though, that the prior owner’s family might be a bother, but Maverick loved the house so much that he’d take it anyway.

Jade told Gracie that everyone was helping out Jenson’s brother, Maverick, move some stuff into his new house. Gracie agreed to tag along.

“What are you doing?” He thought that it was obvious but told her any way that he was kissing her. “Why? I mean, do you have any idea…well, of course you don’t. You just take what you want, don’t you?”

“No. I would have waited for an invitation to kiss you, but I don’t think that you would have given me one. I was hoping…no, that’s not right. I was going to beg you for more, but right now, you have a tight grip on my hair that tells me you’re not happy with being kissed. Is it me? Or do you have someone else in your life?” She told him that it was all him. “I see. Was I too pushy, you think?”

“Do I think you were too pushy? Yes. You were. Why would you kiss a total stranger without knowing a bit about her?” He said he had only ever done that the one time with her.

Can she trust Waylon with her heart and life, or will the relentless pursuit of her enemies destroy them both?

From the moment Amy found out her brother was running for the presidency of the United States, she moved out of the family home and changed her last name. She loved her brother, but she didn’t love the limelight. All she wanted was freedom. The freedom to live her life the way she wanted without being in the shadow of the Secret Service all the time. Taking pictures was her passion, and that’s what she would do, and no one would stand in her way.

Amy had taken a lot of great shots of the animals at the zoo, but if one more person asked her if she had permission to be there, she would scream. She just about had her camera in focus when another zoo employee approached her. He introduced himself as Dr. Dallas Dixon, and instead of being upset with her, he wanted her to take some pictures of a gorilla who had just given birth, but the baby wouldn’t live.

It didn’t take long for Amy to realize that Dallas was a shifter and silverback to his troop. “You’re the silverback. The leader to her. I don’t know how that works, but you’re a shifter. Gorilla shifter and leader. That’s why that other man said that you could order her to do—Christ, oh mighty. Oh fucking no.” She turned her entire body and looked at the man sitting not ten feet from her. “You are not telling me that you have it in your impossibly small mind that I’m whatever they call a silverback’s mate, are you? No. Don’t answer that. I don’t need to, nor do I want to know.”

Hazel Cherokee and Booth Dixon had been good friends since college. Booth would do anything for her. Hazel had the unpleasant task of visiting her father one last time in jail to find out Grandma’s last wishes, and she needed some muscle in case her dad got out of hand. He was a mean man and deserved everything he was getting. Booth couldn’t make it, but he’d send one of his brothers…

As soon as Jayden came into the room, he stared at her like he’d never seen a woman before. She was getting annoyed with him because he just kept staring.

“I’m a woman. Haven’t you ever seen one before?” He nodded, then grinned. “You’re not all that charming if that’s what you’re going for. Sit down and keep an eye on my father. That’s what you’re here for, isn’t it?”

“Yes. I’ll protect you with my life.” She said that they’d have him chained up. She doubted that it would ever go that far. “You never know. Some people are stupider than you think. But he won’t touch you. I swear it on my mother’s heart.”

Axel The Hathaways Release Blitz & Giveaways

When hotshot lawyer Axel Hathaway trades his corner office for a crumbling estate and a diamond-in-the-rough downtown property, he’s looking for an escape—not a fresh start. Then, he meets Mackenzie “Mac” Booth, a renovation contractor whose sharp wit is matched only by her talent for bringing old buildings back to life.

As they peel back layers of vintage wallpaper and restore century-old hardwood, Axel finds himself falling for more than just the properties’ historic charm. But both the estate and Mac harbor secrets that refuse to stay buried. With his carefully constructed new life-threatening to collapse like a house of cards, Axel must decide if he’s finally ready to tear down the walls he’s built around his heart.

Archie Sheppard’s Shadow Release Blitz &Giveaway

Carrie Hunter was at the end of her rope. Her brother’s gambling debts left her owing hundreds of thousands of dollars. He was now dead, but somehow, the loansharks he owned money to were going after her. She would rather eat a bullet than live in that kind of fear. The thugs were in the diner to collect…

Archie and his brother Nash just happened to be grabbing a pizza at the diner. Well, Archie was grabbing a pizza, and Nash decided to hone in on his dinner. Nash informed him that the place was being robbed, and everyone was going to die except the manager, and she’d be left alive just to suffer…

The beautiful woman had a gun in her mouth, ready to pull the trigger. Archie thought he’d talked her out of it. He did leave her, but he wasn’t sure that he’d be staying away. She was a spitfire, and he wanted to get to know her. Before he was to the dining area again, it hit him like a ton of bricks. He’d just met his mate. Turning to go back and talk to her more, he heard the sound of a gunshot before he reached her office.

Rage. An uncontrollable and insatiable rage consumed Nash Sheppard. He was being a prick, and he didn’t care who he took his anger out on.

Sunny Nettles was barely earning enough at the small diner to keep the lights on, much less keep food on the table. And some prick comes waltzing into the diner, spouting orders to keep her mouth shut? She had had enough…

Locke Erikson Brothers  Release Blitz & Giveaway

Locke Erikson and his brothers needed a way out. Their dad was one mean SOB, and they had to get out of the house before one of them ended up dead. Locke hit the jackpot. It was over a billion dollars, and there was only one winner. Just disappearing and keeping their winnings a secret seemed like the best solution.

Alexandra Grable was down on her luck. Her grandmother, Martha, had been keeping tabs on her and told her she’d be dying soon. Alexandra was hoping that her grandmother would be leaving her enough money to get on her feet. To her surprise, the woman gave nearly everything to Locke, including the responsibility for her care. She didn’t have a penny to her name. What was she going to do when she wore out her welcome….

Happy Reading,

August thought that he could watch football year-round. It would get in the way of his life, he knew, but it would be a good way to spend any extra time. He saw his older brothers coming toward him and moved over so that they could squeeze in beside him.
There wasn’t really enough room for all three of them, but they’d make it work. The way the game was going, he didn’t expect them to be sitting much, either. “Who’s out?” August was handed a chili dog while he answered questions.

“That’s not yours. Unless you’ve changed your mind about hot stuff.”
Trading chili dogs with his brother, he bit into the messy dog that was his and moaned.“The cheerleaders are doing a bang-up job. Locke and I could hear them all the way to the concession stand. That’s the way to cheer on the town.” Dusty handed him a wad of napkins and told his brothers that Carol was still out sick. She was their
neighbor’s daughter. August agreed as he finished off his second dog that the cheerleaders seemed to be keeping people pumped up. There was soda, too, but he only drank water. He was actually waiting for them to make fun of him when Locke started yelling and standing
up. It looked like a touchdown for the home team.


“What do you think the score would be if’n you were out there, Locke? Do you think…oh wait, you never got to play your senior year, did you? Something about cheating.” Stanley Cooper crossed his arms over his chest after taunting Locke. August looked at his brother and waited. There would be bloodshed if Locke reacted, and it would be all over Stanley Cooper. “Did you cheat or not? That’s the question, isn’t it?”
“You know as well as everyone around us that there was no one cheating. And I’d appreciate it, Cooper, if you didn’t bring it up every time you saw me.

It was nearly ten years ago. Move on with the rest of us.” Cooper asked Locke if he was telling him what to do. “I wouldn’t do that. Not me. But I think that people are sick to death of you
bringing it up every time there is a game and you see me.”
“Yeah, sit down and shut your trap, Cooper. We’re trying to have a good time here, and you’re messing it up.” There were other members of the crowd telling Stanley to shut his mouth, but it either didn’t get through to him, or he was still the stubborn ass he’d been all his life. “He’s right. You do this every single time. Get over yourself.


The game was over the moment that you went out on the field. Clumsy toss, my ass.”When Stanley took a swing at Locke, all he did was duck down enough so that his fist went wide. And because of him being a couple of steps up and behind them in the bleacher, it knocked him off his feet, and he started to tumble. If not for the quick thinking of Locke, the man would have gone over the back of the fence, and since it was
a parking lot back there, he would have more than likely been hurt badly. Or dead if he’d gone head first.


“Get your hands off me, you cheating bastard.” Locke did let the man go, but he also held on long enough for him to have gotten his balance. Stan’s wife, Darlington, grabbed her husband by his high school jacket that he still wore to every game and told him to sit down. She did this through clenched teeth, and it must have impressed Stan
enough that he sat down and shut his trap.
