#Unputdownable

Amanda (Mandy) Gilchrist was just baffled by her colleague. One minute he was her rock and the next he couldn’t get away from her fast enough…only to land himself in jail. Her bosses now hate him and wouldn’t help him cross the street let alone post bail so it was up to her — except someone got to him first. What the heck was going on?
By now he must realize he needs her help… And it’s going to cost him because this time she’s not going to turn a blind eye. Mandy’s going to make sure David sees her skills as a PI and as a woman too — one he’s got ‘tied up inside and out’.
Because he may not know it yet but they’re both looking for exactly the same thing.

David aka Hack Varetti is in deep shit. A little finagling with the FBI and maybe he’ll get his life back on track but there’s no guarantees. Making the wrong associations only landed him in the clink, but now he’s got a second chance — to fix his life. And to take care of her.
Because Mandy doesn’t know it yet, but she needs something only he can give her, and he can’t wait to show her how a Dom brings his Sub to fulfillment because it’s something she’ll never forget.
Even though the last thing he wanted to do was involve her in his mess, afraid she’d get hurt. He knew, if he wanted her to trust him again, he was going to have to work for it.
Everyone’s got to learn the ropes sometime…

The steamy standalone novels in Tara Eldana’s KinkLink series are best read in order:
TAKING THE LEAD | MAKING A SWITCH | GETTING TO FOREVER | REACHING FOR FOREVER

The Necklace II – Back to Brighton, November 1962 by Linda S Rice

This is book #2 of a 6-book time-travel romance series. Book #1 of the series (The Necklace – The Dusky Club, June 1962) is permanently free on Amazon.
It’s been five months since Susan and her best friend, Lynn, returned from their short journey to the past. While on a girl’s cruise, they’d met two ladies from Haiti, one who had “the sight.” She had instantly read into Susan’s soul, discovering an obsession Susan held within herself for a certain person for almost fifty years. To cure her of this obsession and make Susan realize that what she had in the present was far better than anything she would ever have had with James, she sent Susan back to the year 1962 to meet the real flesh and blood James.
The love affair that ensued between James and Susan was tempestuous and stormy. It wasn’t long before Susan realized that James wasn’t the perfection she’d made him out to be. As the seven day journey came to an end, she felt almost relieved to return to the present.
One impetuous action, however, was to throw a complication into what Susan was intended to learn from the trip. Although she came back fully understanding that her present life was near perfection compared to anything she could have had with James, something keeps tugging at her heart, something that won’t allow her to fully let go of her feelings for him.
In desperation, she contacts the ladies from Haiti, only to find out that the ballerina necklace she left in the past with James is serving as a link between them and that the only way to break it, will be to go back into the past again to retrieve it.
At midnight on a cold November evening, Susan is again transported back in time to November 1962, back to the Dusky Club, where James and the boys, who will one day become the most famous band of all time, are still engaged to play.
Will Susan be able to retrieve her necklace from the past and bring it back into the present? Will the link between her and James finally be broken?

Call Me Sugar – An MMF Menage by Lacee Hightower

Even in the darkest of silence … the heart understands.

One was my first love. The other my first lust. Fourteen years later, I still love Keith Ryker and still lust for Jason Lee. But it’s not that simple.

Keith Ryker runs Ryker Ranch, raising cattle in far West Texas. He was passion and strength. He was Jen Boylan’s first love, the handsome cowboy who molded her into the woman she is today. Jen thinks he’s forgotten her, but he hasn’t. He’s never erased that one afternoon in the haybarn from his mind. Never forgotten all the times in the old park and museum up the hill. And now, he’s bought the dilapidated building and remodeled it to move the only woman he’s ever loved back to a town full of bad memories and a painful past, to re-open a museum she’s hated her entire life. He selfishly burns for her, even though he aches for another … and has for over fourteen years.
Jen Boylan’s best friend took her own life in the small town she always considered emptier than a tomb. Her father died there. The boy she lusted for turned her down flat, and the boy she loved walked away after taking her virginity. Now she’s living in the city alone, determined to be the best paralegal she can and accept that she may very well never find her one true love.

Until an out of the blue phone call changes her whole life.
