Zoe Hill
Less than an hour after I learned that he was murd Less than an hour after I learned that he was murdered, I’m wilting under the pressure of living up to his expectations. “I’m going to fail him.” My best friend shakes her head. With the arm she has tucked around my waist, Mauve squeezes me tighter, then pushes into a sitting position. She brushes my hair off my face, and chides in a determined voice, “Impossible. That man knew you inside and out. Do you really believe that he’d spend his life loving a failure?” >> Preorder for $2.99 (release day price will be $4.99) << Amazon: https://dymi.ink/0u9 Apple Books: https://dymi.ink/4t1 Kobo: https://dymi.ink/5ij Nook: https://dymi.ink/teb Google Play: available on release day Goodreads: https://dymi.ink/gTheOptAun

She's the older woman. He's the man who killed her She's the older woman. He's the man who killed her husband. Rosalie Carmichael has spent most of her life doing as she's told. She is the perfect wife, a loving mother, and the aunt everyone calls on when they need a favor. Her life is peaceful until her happy family is torn apart and she finds herself at the mercy of the Coalition once again. Scared and alone for the first time since she was sixteen, Rosalie seeks comfort in the arms of her much younger bodyguard. Together they dream of a future where they’re free to love each other out in the open without fear of recriminations or bloody repercussions. And for six short months it seems as if escape might be possible. Then the Coalition requests an urgent meeting, and Rosalie is left with an impossible choice. Choose the bloodless—and loveless—option or follow her heart down the violent path to freedom? The Optional Aunt is a dark and erotic romantic suspense novel set in a world where deception is the norm and the truth can’t be trusted. It is the second book in The Coalition Collection, a series of interconnected standalones featuring the Ingram-Greaves, Averell, Zidane, and Du Croix crime families. *Full-length novel, complete with a HEA, and can be read as a standalone* >> Preorder for $2.99 (release day price will be $4.99) << Amazon: https://dymi.ink/0u9 Apple Books: https://dymi.ink/4t1 Kobo: https://dymi.ink/5ij Nook: https://dymi.ink/teb Google Play: available on release day Books2read: https://books2read.com/TOAZoeHill Goodreads: https://dymi.ink/gTheOptAun #teasertuesday #booksbooksbook #darkromance #darkromancenovels #eroticromancebooks #bookstagram
“Oh, Poppy,” Chelsea speaks over me in a shril “Oh, Poppy,” Chelsea speaks over me in a shrill, obnoxious voice that draws the other officers’ attention to us. Taking hold of my upper arms, she holds me out from her and inspects me with an expression similar to that of the old spinster aunt we all avoid at Christmas. “Marcus was just looking for you. He seems to think there’s trouble brewing in the precinct, and I told him that if there is you would be at the center of it.” “Oh, I’m sure you did.” My tone is filled with enough hostility to make her take a step back from me. “Did you make this suggestion during pillow talk, or was it whispered in his ear while you sucked him off in his office?” Slapping a hand over her heart, Chelsea glances around the precinct. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. My behavior is above reproach… yours, huh… well…not so much. We all know about your family’s ongoing run-ins with the law and how you supply them information to circumvent prosecution.” She did not just go there… not after I publicly nailed her bullshit to the wall and crucified her. The moral high ground does not belong to this crazy bitch. Chelsea smirks at me and my temper revs from a five to five hundred in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, my mouth is filled with all the words I’ve wanted to lob at her over the years and they volley from my mouth with the precision of tennis balls out of a professional ball launcher. “Prove it! I know I’ve done nothing wrong, and I also know that your lying, snotty, unprofessional, plastic Barbie-wannabe self, had to fuck your way into a job, because your useless flat ass couldn’t find probable cause if an actual felony bit you on the nose, let alone evidence of one that doesn’t damn well exist.” Nostrils flaring, I glare at her hard enough to incinerate her on the spot if only my eyes were radioactive. More’s the pity. “So, go on, I dare you. Try to pin your bullshit on me.” Read more on Book+Main Bites >> https://bookandmainbites.com/bite/48455 or purchase The Dangerous Son on your favourite book retailer >> https://dymi.ink/r9q #booksandmainbites #booksandmain #bookstgram #booknerd

Help me celebrate the reveal of the cover for Shie Help me celebrate the reveal of the cover for Shielded (K. Bromberg’s Everyday Heroes World) and go into the draw to win $25 book money (your choice of iTunes, Amazon, or PayPal). SHIELDED WILL BE HERE ON JANUARY 28th. Zoe Hill’s Shielded is an emotionally charged, childhood sweethearts to enemies to lovers, romantic suspense novel written in K. Bromberg’s Everyday Heroes World. When Renee Clearwater ran away from Sunnyville in her early twenties, she swore she’d never return. The small town held nothing but painful memories and constant reminders of everything she’d lost… and the one thing she’d never have. And, for fifteen long years, Renee kept her promise. She put her past behind her and built a career in the NYPD, rising through the ranks until she found her calling as the Commander of the Organized Crime Unit. Until a scandal grips her department and Renee is demoted during the political fallout. At first, she refuses to go down without a fight. She does her best to defend her unfairly shattered reputation while chasing down the puppet masters pulling the strings behind the scenes. When Renee’s friends are targeted to silence her and her rapidly dwindling bank accounts are mysteriously emptied overnight, she finds herself with only one way out of her current predicament. Accept a new job with the Sunnyville Police Department. The position is supposed to act as a cover for her true assignment as an undercover agent investigating the organization responsible for her fall from grace. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it to clear her name. Only problem? She’ll be working alongside Stetson Mannix, the husband she ran out on fifteen years ago… and he’s made it clear that he’s going to make her time in Sunnyville as unpleasant as possible.

Before I can answer her, Ollie’s gravelly voice Before I can answer her, Ollie’s gravelly voice interrupts us. “What’s wrong with her?” “Nothing you can help with,” Mauve snaps. I sniff, then glare at him over Mauve’s shoulder. Irrational anger builds in me as I look him over. Why is he alive and breathing, and wearing my husband’s face? Ollie meets my gaze steadily, without rancor or sympathy. When his attention drops to my bare legs, I remember that I’m only wearing Aaron’s t-shirt. “A little privacy would be appreciated.” Deliberately dragging his eyes over my exposed skin after I drag the hem down as far it will go, he replies with a shrug, “I’m sure it would. Maybe you should get dressed before your next meltdown?” Mauve gasps. She straightens to her full height and advances on him. Ollie crosses his arms over his chest, then leans against the doorframe. He scuffs the toe of his shoe over the carpet, back and forth in an irritating motion that makes me want to slap him. The smug grin he gives me when I scrunch up my nose at him tells me that he knows what I’m thinking. When Mauve reaches him, she tucks a lock of her blonde hair behind her ear, then steps up into Ollie’s face. He blinks. It’s a slow, intentional move to signify that she doesn’t scare him. A small smile lifts my lips at his daring. Poor boy doesn’t know what he’s in for.

“Oh, I almost forgot.” Rosalie turns to look a “Oh, I almost forgot.” Rosalie turns to look at me over her shoulder. Red-hot malice burns a path over my face when she pins me to the spot with her wild eyes. Her anger is an aphrodisiac, making my cock twitch as she sets me straight, “I might be fucking flawless, but this goddess wouldn’t warm your bed if you were the last man on earth. You’re nothing but a disrespectful little boy who’ll never measure up to the man I’ve spent the past thirty years loving… and it’d do you well to remember that.” Stunned and slack jawed, I watch her leave. When she pulls the door shut behind herself, I expect her to slam it. She doesn’t. The muted snick of the lock catching is much more damning than the loud bang I was expecting. After adjusting the front of my trousers, I rub my hands over my face, then through my hair. Rosalie’s little performance was something to see—I’m in awe of the vehemence she managed to infuse into her words without raising her voice or resorting to violence. “Fuck. Me. Dead.” I groan a moment before I burst into laughter. Returning to the framed photo, I turn it back around and grin at Aaron. After seeing Rosalie in action, his smirk makes sense. I touch my fingertip to her face as I tell his photograph, “You lucky son of a bitch. I’m sure you’re up there watching this with a shit-eating grin.” Once I have my visible reaction to Rosalie under control, I straighten my shoulders, and head for the door. She might think her little speech put me in my place, but she’s underestimated my interest in her. My favorite chases are the ones that look impossible at the start. Rosalie’s passionate defense of her marriage was endearing, although all it taught me was that I’ll need to bide my time with her. The only thing that trumps first love is time.

PROLOGUE REVEAL ROSALIE Thirty-three years earli PROLOGUE REVEAL ROSALIE Thirty-three years earlier *unedited and subject to change* “It’s done.” My shoulders droop as the words I’ve spent three months waiting to hear finally ring in my ears. I should be sad that my father is now dead, but I’m filled with nothing but relief. My dad’s death brings me another step closer to freedom. After one last look out of the second-floor window at the silent street below, I let the drapes fall back into place. The room is plunged back into darkness, broken only by the artificial light streaming into my bedroom from the hallway. Turning to face my brother, I force myself to verbalize the question that’s hanging between us. “And Aaron… is he coming?” When the lines that bracket my brother’s eyes deepen, I drop my hands to my tummy and cradle the swell of my unborn child. I stroke the roundness like it’s a talisman that will change the news my brother is about to deliver from bad to good. “Lee-Lee,” Zoran reaches out and tugs one of my hands free. Holding my fingers in his, he runs his thumb over my knuckles. “The fact that I’ve killed our father doesn’t magically free Aaron from his duties. Think about it—if he disappears now, they’ll know he’s involved. For your safety, and the baby’s, it’s better if you stay here with Sophia.” “But I need him here… with me and the baby. I’m nearly six months pregnant… I can’t do this by myself.” “If he gives in to your theatrics and comes for you before it’s safe, you’ll be alone forever.” This forthright response is typical of my brother. Outside of his over-protectiveness toward his new wife, Zoran rarely allows emotions to dictate his moves in the war we’re covertly waging against the Coalition. My half-brother is fifteen years older than me, and it shows. Where I am passionate and sentimental, he is cold and calculating. Our differences are stark, yet they also bond us. “Do you trust me?” Zoran’s tone is harsh, although I hear a note of despair bobbing beneath the surface.
