The Angel by Tiffany Reisz

The Angel by Tiffany Reisz

She wanted him… Nora Sutherlin is in hiding. On paper, she’s following her master’s orders – and her flesh is willing. More deeply, more strongly than she’d wanted anyone.

This is the story of a summer that proves that love hurts.

The Ghostwriter byAR Torre

The Ghostwriter by A.R. Torre

Four years ago, I lied. I stood in front of the police, my friends and family, and made up a story, my best one yet. And all of them believed me. I wasn’t surprised. Telling stories is what made me famous. Fifteen bestsellers. Millions of fans. Fame and fortune. Now, I have one last story to write. It’ll be my best one yet, with a jaw-dropping twist that will leave them stunned and gasping for breath. They say that sticks and stones will break your bones, but this story? It will be the one that kills me.

Bane by L.J. Shen

Bane by L.J. Shen

Bane. Naked surfer. Habitual pothead. A con, a liar, a thief and a fraud. Last I heard, he was extorting the rich and screwing their wives for a living. Which is why I’m more than a little surprised to find him at my threshold, looking for my friendship, my services, and most puzzling of all—looking humbled. Thing is, I’m on a boycott. Literally—I cut boys from my life. Permanently.
Problem is, Bane is not a boy, he is all man, and I’m falling, crashing, drowning in his sweet, perfect lies. Jesse Carter. Hot as hell, cold as ice. I wasn’t aware of her existence until a fat, juicy deal landed… Read more.
