THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN LOSING EVERYTHING . . . 

IS FORGETTING WHAT YOU LOST. 



KRISTEN FLOOD, 

author of Seeking Incandescence and The Museum, pens a riveting adult romance with a poignant examination of love, identity, and forgiveness. 

THE BEAST 
Once the powerful prince of Renol, William is a shell of the man he once was. Living under the curse of a powerful witch, William has spent 100 years making deals on her behalf and mourning the loss of his first love. 

THE BEAUTY 
Belle has spent her life confined within the limits of her city, Paylor, and is now bound to a man she does not love. When she dares to venture outside the city's gates in search of something she's lost, she finds more than she ever expected. 

As Belle and William embark on a journey of love and mourning, passion and forgiveness, they discover that sometimes what we lose isn't as important as what we find.











“Beauty and the Beast with a Twist”

                “What if you and I made a deal?” Belle did not face him. She worried she might faint if saw the sword she knew he held by his side.
                “I don’t think you have anything more valuable than your life.” His breath was warm against the back of her neck.
                “But that’s exactly what I could give you.” When he didn’t respond, she turned to face him, keeping her eyes on his, not daring to look at his hands. “You need a servant to take care of your house and cook. I could be that in exchange for the 1,400 I need to pay the debt.”
                She could see him thinking about it, his golden eyes flickering in the candle light.
                “I would be obedient.” He did not respond right away. “I could do whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted.”
                “For how long?” he asked. She heard him put his sword on the table.
                “Until my death. A life debt.”
                “You wouldn’t be able to marry. What would I tell your betrothed?”
                “The dead can’t marry anyway.”
                “It takes two things to make a deal.”
                “Vale more tae lan, mi Ven.” Belle whispered, ‘tell me what you want, my Lord.’
                “In exchange for your debt, I will take you as my servant. You will be obedient and loyal to me.”
                “Of course.”
                “And as a symbol of your loyalty, I will take a kiss.”
                “As you wish, my Lord.”
                Belle closed her eyes and leaned in to kiss him. His lips brushed gently against hers, just as the golden light hit the room, the sun brushing a red tint through her hair.
                When she pulled away, she grabbed her chest. It felt as if someone had wrapped a hand around her heart, squeezing tightly, and then the feeling was gone.
                “Giving yourself to someone is one of the most powerful deals you can make. That feeling was your fate being tied to mine.”

The Playboy Bachelor by Rachel Van Dyken Release Date: April 11th

Genre: Contemporary Romance

She's no Sleeping Beauty. And he's definitely no prince . . .
Margot McCleery could have lived her whole life without seeing Bentley Wellington again-her ex-best friend and the poster boy for Hot, Rich Man-Whores everywhere. But Margot's whiskey-augmented grandmother "buys" Bentley at a charity bachelor auction, and now suddenly he's at her door. Impossibly charming. Impossibly sexy. And still a complete and utter jackass.
Bentley's just been coerced by his grandfather to spend the next thirty days charming and romancing the reclusive red-haired beauty who hates him. The woman he abandoned when she needed him the most. Bentley knows just as much about romance as he knows about love-nothing. But the more time he spends with Margot, the more he realizes that "just friends" will never be enough. Now all he has to do is convince her to trust him with her heart . . .

Cover Reveal / Giveaway - Love Me in the Dark by Mia Asher @miaasherauthor




Title: Love Me in the Dark
Author: Mia Asher
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Hang Le
Release Date: April 23, 2017



Blurb

Two strangers in Paris ...
One passionate, earth-shattering kiss.

He was the artist upstairs
with the tantalizing smile and laughing eyes.

He was the devil inviting me to sin,
seducing me to dance in the bright moonlight.

He was desire and need.

When he touched me, my body sang--
my soul came alive.

But I belonged to another man,
and he didn't want to let me go.







Author Bio

I'm a writer, a hopeless romantic, a wanderer, a dreamer, a cynic, and a believer. And, I might be a bit crazy - but who isn't?

I believe in happy endings however I know that not everyone is lucky enough to get one, but such is life. I think fine lines exist to be pushed and possibly crossed.

Love,
M.

Synopsis

He’ll do anything to protect her. Even if it means letting her go.

Tate Jackson made a big mistake. No, a monumental one. He picked the wrong place to introduce his wife, Cassie, to the alluring lifestyle they’d fantasized about.

Instinct told him to get her out of the poor excuse for a sex club—but he didn’t. And she was assaulted because of his carelessness. He’ll do anything to protect her from another traumatic experience, even if it means making the agonizing choice to convince his wife he no longer loves her. Cassie’s not buying it. In fact, Tate is the last person she blames for that horrific night.

She’s willing to give him the space he thinks he needs to get his head straight, but when divorce papers arrive, she realizes she’s out of time. She has twenty-eight days to figure out why Tate is ruining a perfect marriage. Twenty-eight days to figure out what he’s hiding. But when she learns the truth, she has to decide if her heart can take the strain of piecing their love back together.

Warning: Dirty tactics, dirtier sex, ropes, masks, guilty consciences, and love stretched so far, no one escapes unchanged. Not even you, dear reader.

Throw back a shot of pure sin. 

Leo Petrova has a dirty secret that’s about to get blown wide open. The exclusive VIP area hidden beneath his night club, Shot of Sin, is short staffed a bartender. The only available replacement is Shay—his temptation, his distraction—the sole woman he refuses to escort down the secret staircase. She has no clue about the private adult club that lies beneath her feet and he’d prefer to keep it that way. The Vault of Sin is the only place he can let his sexual proclivities run wild and he’s learned the hard way that Shay is too virtuous to be comfortable in the erotic environment.

Shay Porter is curious as to why her boss, the king of mixed messages, seems almost desperate to keep her from discovering what’s on the other side of the guarded door at the back of the building. But she’s never backed down from a challenge before. Sliding into Leo’s arms and this new world of carnal exploration is addictive yet frightening. She could lose her job, her self-respect, and her heart.

Exposing a vanilla woman to a sorbet lifestyle isn’t something Leo’s business partners approve of. Secrets are at stake. Friendships, too. And through it all, neither one of them can ignore the wicked taste of sin threatening to tear it all apart.

Warning: This sex club does not carry the government’s stamp of approval. Contains devilish debauchery, delightful deviance, and dancing on the edge of the darkest of sexual desires. 


***Please note: This book was previously released by Samhain Publishing. This new edition contains a few slight tweaks as well as a new setting for the series.
