Cover Reveal - Unseen Messages by Pepper Winters




Title: UNSEEN MESSAGES

 Author: Pepper Winters

 Genre: Contemporary Romance

 Release Date: Approx Early 2016

 Cover Design by Kellie Dennis at Book Cover By Design

 Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18134900-unseen-messages?ac=1&from_search=1


 BLURB

 There is a message for everything. From handwritten to verbal, seen and unseen. 

 Messages exist all around us.

 But what if you don't see? 

 What if you don't understand?

 What if by ignoring the message, your life is never the same again?


 PROLOGUE

 LIFE OFFERS EVERYONE messages. 

 Either unnoticeable or obvious, it’s up to us to pay attention. 

 I didn’t pay attention. 

 Instinct tried to take notice; the world tried to prevent my downfall.

 I didn’t listen.

 I’ll forever wonder what would’ve happened if I did pay attention to those messages. Would I have survived? Would I have fallen in love? Would I have been happy?

 Then again, perhaps just like messages existed, fate existed, too. 

 And no matter what life path we choose, fate always has the final say.

 I didn’t listen but it doesn’t mean I didn’t live.

 I just lived a different tale than the one I’d envisioned. 

 Away from my home.

 Away from my family.

 Away from everything comfortable and familiar.  

 But I wasn’t alone…

 I was with him. 

 And he became my entire universe.

COVER REVEAL: Distraction (Underground Kings #3) by Aurora Rose Reynolds

Fall in love with Maggie & Sven in Distraction by 
Aurora Rose Reynolds
Goodreads: http://bit.ly/1T03fkZ

RELEASE DATE:  Early 2016 
**Can be read as a standalone**





Video trailer for Distraction 

 Distraction by Aurora Rose Reynolds from Becca the Bibliophile on Vimeo.

 Blurb

 Distraction: The great intensity, novelty, or attractiveness of something other than the object of attention.

 Sven is a man who takes pride in his ability to separate himself from his emotions. He's a man who knows who he is and where he’s going in life, a man who needs no one, because needing someone, anyone, is a weakness. 

 His past taught him love isn’t enough.  

 Maggie wants the happily ever after, but has never picked the right men, or stuck around long enough, to build a forever. It’s always been easier to get out early, before emotions make things messy. 
  
When Maggie wakes up naked in Sven’s bed, with no memory of the night before, these two must be honest about their feelings and face their fears, so they can build a future together.
Will love be enough for them to get their happy ending together, or will a threat from outside strike them down before they ever have a chance?

About WICKED REUNION
College sweethearts London Uphill and Jared Kraft were inseparable. He was a 
rising baseball star with a promising future, and she seemed destined to become “Mrs. Kraft.” Then a tragic night and a series of devastating mistakes caused Jared to walk away from his life, leaving London without any explanation and tearing the couple apart.

 Five years later, Jared has reinvented himself by putting down the bat and picking up a guitar to play for the red-hot band Wicked White. In all that time, London hasn’t gotten over her forever love—or the pain—despite seeking solace in the arms of the one man no one dreamed she’d run to.

 When Wicked White’s lead singer goes MIA, Jared finds the time—and courage—to return to his hometown and face the mess he made. He’s shocked at how London’s life has changed, yet he’s determined to prove their love is worth fighting for. Is this breakup too big for any hope of a reunion tour? Or can London open her heart to Jared once again?

NEW M/M ROMANCE - Read the first chapter of Play Hard by J.T. Fox!


Read the first chapter of Play Hard by J.T. Fox.  This m/m sports romance sounds like a touchdown!


Release date: 1/4/16


 Blurb:

 WARNING: Contains two dirty-talking, hard-f*cking, no-apology-making alpha males. 

 Read at your own risk.

 Wanting him is the riskiest play of all...

 Miami star quarterback Jordan Barr is the hottest man that halfback Eric "The Brick" Higgins has ever laid eyes on, and he's wanted him in his bed for years.

 When a chance encounter puts the two pro football players in the same town, the same TV studio, and the same locked room, the sparks don't just fly, they burn. The chemistry them is intense, immediate, and explosive and Eric isn't about to miss his chance to have Jordan off the field. He'll have Jordan naked in his bed—rumors of game fixing haunting both of their teams be damned.

 Eric is one extraordinarily stunning man, and Jordan would love nothing more than to show Eric what it's like to be taken by someone who knows exactly what he wants, in the bedroom and out. But Jordan has bills to pay and far too many responsibilities to throw caution to the wind.

 He has to resist. But it's getting hard....

 Really, really hard.

 Play Hard is the first installment in a three-part MM romance trilogy and ends in a cliffhanger.

CHAPTER ONE

 Eric

 Another roll of thunder boomed, shaking the walls of the Tampa TV station as Eric followed the redheaded intern through the dimly-lit hall toward the green room. He would be soaked to the skin if his driver hadn’t walked him from the limo to the glass doors of the skyscraper underneath a giant golf umbrella. He was glad he’d listened to his agent’s advice and hired a car and driver instead of a rental convertible for the trip. 

 Sure, he wanted to feel the wind in his hair, but that would have to wait for a 
weekend when he didn’t have to worry about looking pretty for the camera. 

 “What a storm, huh?” The intern glanced back at him with a wide, double-dimpled grin that lit up her pretty face.

 She was a cute one. He was sure most men went crazy for her girl-next-door good looks.

 “Should I call you Brick or do you prefer Eric?” she asked.

 “Well,” he said, glancing at her name badge, “Kim, I like how both names sound rolling off your tongue. Do I detect a hint of southern belle?”

 She giggled. “Born and raised a Georgia peach. I’m a senior at UGA, interning here in Tampa this semester.”

 “Georgia. Never was a fan, but you might change my mind. The SEC sure does 
have the prettiest women around.”

 “And the best football, too,” she teased.

 Eric couldn’t argue that point. His years playing for Florida State had taught him to never underestimate any SEC team. They were sneaky bastards who came up from behind to take a national title from their opponent and never look back. 

 Couldn’t take it from him, though. He’d been there, won that. As a second-string halfback his sophomore year, he’d never expected to get a chance to play, especially in the title game against Georgia. Then suddenly, the first string player tore his ACL and the assistant offensive coordinator yelled for Eric to fill in. 

 Before he could say, “Go ’Noles!” Eric was on the field scoring the winning 
touchdown.

 His life hadn’t been the same since.

 “I have a small request, and I hope you don’t mind,” Kim said. “But your agent said you’d be willing to sign some autographs before the interview. You’ve got quite a gathering of fans waiting for you.” 

 He flashed a grin. “Don’t mind at all. I’m as quick with a pen as I am on the field.”  Eric winked, his smile transforming to a booming laugh as Kim opened the door to reveal a room packed wall to wall with Marauders fans, mostly women holding pictures, notebooks, jerseys, and Sharpies. 

 “Hello ladies!” he said, turning on the charm since this was, quite simply, one of his favorite parts of the job. Not the sea of women, per se. But the adoration. The love for the game and the love for The Brick. 

 God, it felt so fucking good to have fans.

 The moment he stepped through the entryway, a din of feminine screams drowned out the loudest roll of thunder so far. The storm outside couldn’t compare to the swirling tempest of excitement in this room. When Eric “The Brick” Higgins was in play, even Mother Nature should be prepared to take a backseat.

 Eric spied a couple of young boys to his left and made a beeline for them first. He hated to make kids wait and knew the mamas in the room would love him even more for showing his soft side to their sons. “What’s your name, tough guy?” he asked the smaller of the two.

 “Dylan.” The boy’s chocolate brown eyes went wide in his face.

 “Dylan, do you play football?” Eric knelt down to be on Dylan’s level before taking 

 the glossy headshot from the boy’s hand and signing it with a Sharpie that seemed to appear out of thin air. 

 “No, sir. My brother does. I will when I’m bigger.” 

 “Are you his brother?” Eric turned to the older boy next to him, signing the jersey he held.

 “Yes, sir. And that’s my mama and my baby sister.” He pointed proudly to a tired-looking woman with tightly curled brown hair, holding a sleeping baby in the corner of the room. “My name is Christopher. I’m seven and a half. You came to visit my football camp this summer. I’m fast like you and getting faster every day.”

 “I just bet you are. And I remember you, man. You were tearing it up out there.”

NEW BOOK RELEASE & GIVEAWAY: Say You're Mine by Diane Alberts


SAY YOU'RE MINE by Diane Alberts
December 7, 2015
Shillings Agency series / Entangled Publishing: Brazen

Book Summary: 
She’s a challenge he can’t afford to lose…

 Navy SEAL Steven Thomas has only ever been able to count on three things: waking up in the morning, going to sleep sometime during the night, and Lauren Brixton. She’s been his best friend since grade school, and what they have is the only relationship he’s managed not to ruin.

 Until one drunken night puts that all in jeopardy.

 Lauren’s watched Steven flit from one-night stand to one-night stand, seemingly not interested in something more. So when the long-ignored attraction between the two of them blows up in their faces, she does the only thing she can—she pretends she doesn’t want him. But all’s fair in love and war, and Steven’s not about to lose the only person in his life who matters…
