A crime leader has fallen for the wrong woman. She’s his hostage in a heist, and if he leaves any witnesses, his colleagues will kill them both.
A hostage isn’t supposed to develop feelings for her captor—a man who’s the antithesis of everything I stand for. And my captor isn’t supposed to see me in a way no one else ever has, let alone want to protect me from the other men who plan to end my life…
Surrendering to our unexpected feelings could spell death for us both. Especially when Easton is given a direct order: Kill me, or they’ll kill him and his brother.
Soon, our lives, along with the lives of everyone we love, are in danger. And time is running out…
You’ll love this dangerous romance (standalone with no cliffhanger, contains darker themes with mature content—reader discretion is advised) because the page-turner involving dark secrets, kidnapping, and murder will keep you glued to the pages with heart-pounding suspense and blow-your mind twists…

TRAILER
EXCERPT
I kicked my foot toward him, hoping to slam the heel of my foot into his nose. But he blocked that one, too. I tried to yank away from his grip, but doing so rocked the chair and tilted one side of it into the air. Before I could correct the center of gravity, the chair tipped over, sending me into a free fall, my nose on a collision course with the wooden planks.
But he grabbed me before I hit—one arm around my stomach, his other hand gripping my upper arm.
He pulled me into a standing position as if I weighed nothing and set me back on my feet.
“Careful,” he said, a blend of irritation and enjoyment seeping from his tone. “I’d hate to see you hurt that beautiful face of yours.”
“Because you prefer to do it yourself?”
I heard him huff a laugh-breath.
Why isn’t he letting go of me?
He stood there, his hands on my body, doing what? Staring at me? Smelling like burnt sugar.
Strange. I’d have expected him to smell like chemically rotting feet, not delicious and inviting.
“So, this is what you do?” I said, heat pooling beneath my cheeks. “Break into people’s homes and then murder them if they happen to come inside?”
No answer.
“What an exemplary member of society we have here,” I snarled.
“Let me give you some advice.” His tone was low and even.
“This ought to be good. Advice from a criminal. I’m waiting with bated breath.”
He tightened his grip around my waist until my chest pushed into his. “You’re bound and blindfolded and at my mercy. Provoking the very person who holds your life in his hands is unwise.”

Title: Sinners & Saints
Series: Ravage Riders MC #2
Author: Nikki Landis
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: August 26, 2022
BLURB
I'd do anything for my club.
The Ravage Riders are my family. They welcomed me in, gave me a safe place to crash away from the horrors and abuse I endured, and my best friend Edge is as close to me as a brother. Nothin' ever came between us until Rae. We both fell hard. She chose him. I was left standing alone.
I swore I wouldn't love again. I told myself no other woman could ever be as perfect as Rae. And then, a social worker with good intentions and a perfect smile showed up at the door. Her curvy figure snagged my attention, and then her sultry voice. Cara charmed me from the first word she spoke.
Girls like her don't fall for guys like me. She's practically a saint. Cara takes care of kids and the elderly and donates time to a homeless shelter. I swear there's a bright gold halo over her head. I'm a born sinner. A biker, an outlaw. I ride a Harley and don't care about obeying the law. The thoughts in my head are downright wicked, and with every fantasy that pops in there, I want to act them out with her.
Deadly secrets emerge along with lies, deceit, and a ruthless ex plotting against the Riders. When Cara's life is threatened, my protective instincts kick in. She's mine. No one is tearing us apart. This sinner will unleash hell to protect his saint. And I won't stop until she's back in my arms where she belongs.
*** Note: This book can be read as a standalone, but for best enjoyment should be read after Sins of the Father. It includes steamy scenes, biker slang, cursing, violence, dark content, a paranormal twist, and, of course, an HEA. If you like alpha males who take charge, this book is for you.

Series: The Teager Family #4
Author: Vikki Jay
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 26, 2022
BLURB
Some love stories start after I dos, and mine was certainly one of them.
I was a damsel in distress and Zane Teager was my knight dressed in a three piece suit, riding a Bugatti.
But he wasn’t saving me from some dragons or pirates but my own sick brain.
His offer was generous and beautiful, exactly like him.
We get married until my life was back to normal. Simple.
But nothing was simple in my grand wedding and the designer wedding dress.
Ours was possibly the only fake wedding where every custom was followed to the word...
including consummating the marriage.
Zane was a husband plucked out of dreams, determined to support me in...sickness and health.
And it was easy to forget that our marriage had a ticking clock.
Zane
Vienna came into my life by accident. Literally and figuratively.
When I was bringing her to the hospital, I didn’t know she’d be someday sleeping on my bed, demanding sex on our wedding night and so many more.
She was the yin to my yang. Noise to my silence. Light to my darkness.
But she was temporary.
I could never tie her to me...permanently.
The guilt of doing that to her would be bigger than any guilt I have. And I’ve many.
“I c-cannot effing do th-that to her.”

Title: Moody
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 22, 2022
BLURB
From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.
The day I showed up to Dax Moodyâs sprawling home, I had no idea what was coming.
As a traveling massage therapist, I was used to entering the houses of strangers.
But this assignment was different from any before it.
From the outside, Iâd correctly assumed the owner was rich. What I didnât realize was that he would be younger than Iâd imagined, single, stunningly gorgeous, and mysterious.
Despite the fact that Dax had booked a massage, it never actually happened, since our first appointment was unexpectedly cut short by a comedy of errors.
Certain Iâd never see him again after that day, Iâd done nothing but think about the captivating man.
To my surprise, he called a second time. That appointment, we talked a lot, developing a stronger connection. But once again, there was no actual massage.
The man I now affectionately called âMoodyâ kept calling me to come back.
It took three times before I finally gave him the massage heâd ordered. Letâs just say it was challenging to keep things professional. I was extremely attracted to Dax, and by that time, I was falling hard.
Eventually, Iâd find out why heâd been so aloof, the reason why he and I could never be together.
Our story was supposed to end there, but it didnât.
Instead, I was left perpetually longing for a forbidden man.

Manda's 5 Star Review
She nails it again!!!Moody is a fantastic dual pov story that I loved from page 1. Wren and Dax are such good characters. They have amazing chemistry and as their story progresses you get more and more hooked. This one was pretty emotional for me. Some twists and turns and some heartache but also just a fantastic story development. One that I wish I could read again for the first time just to recapture that initial feeling. Love Penelope Ward and really looking forward to what's next.

A hopeful bride . . .
Rina has suffered much in her short life. Being bartered away to a barbarian realm without her consent is just a final injustice at the hands of her cousin, the king of D’heilar. But marrying a man sight unseen – even a barbarian – may not be the end of the world, but the beginning of a new one.
A reluctant groom . . .
Luka has finally put a sword through his father’s cruel heart, and by Northern law, the mantle of leadership is now his. No matter how unwelcome, he won’t shirk his duty . . . even if the people of his realm deserve better, even if it means having a foreign bride forced upon him.
An ill-fated union.
Before they ever meet, disaster strikes. Rina is falsely accused of an unpardonable crime and meets her betrothed as a prisoner. Despite it all, they’re still expected to marry. But with neither of them willing to forgive or forget, they’re enemies, not lovers.
Caught in a political tug of war beyond their control, Luka and Rina come to realize they may have been taken for fools and that not all loves begin in beauty. Some, it seems, are born of the dark.

âI came because Iâ¦â She stands with me, refusing to back down. âBecause you what?â âBecause Iâm in love with you. Before you left, I knew I was, but I was too scared to tell you. I knew I had a lot to work on before I could ever be the man you deservedâ¦before I could be worthy of your love.â She takes a step forward so sheâs almost touching me. Tears shimmer in her startling green eyes. âYou donât get to decide who I give my love to. You already have it. Thatâs one reason I left. I couldnât let myself fall any harder for you because you said you didnât want a real relationshipâ¦that you werenât capable of one. I left to save us both the heartache based on what I thought you needed, not because youâre unworthy of my love. But being away from you has only made me realize I wasnât falling for you, I didâ¦completely. But how can you expect me to believe because I left, you had epiphany and now youâre magically ready to love?â Her chest heaves with emotion as the tears start dropping. âYou told me you were messed up, but you wouldnât tell me why and now suddenly Iâm worth fighting for?â she points at her chest and then adds, âSuddenly, your issues with love have disappeared?â I canât take it a second longer. My chest has been heaving right along with hers because she has valid points and theyâre gutting me but sheâs wrong. When she left, I realized I would risk any amount of heartache to love herâ¦to be able to call her mine. I close the few inches separating us and my lips crash over hers as I take her face in my hands. I almost feel my heart breaking and being put back together at once. My heart is breaking from the shell of old pain Iâm finally shedding only to be healed by the strength and love of this woman in my arms. She broke my heart out of its chains. My tongue licks her lips, and she parts them for me as I find her tongue and caress it with mine. After a few minutes, we break the kiss to catch our breath and she gazes at me with hope and fear battling for dominanceâ¦hope that Iâm telling the truth and fear that Iâll break her anyway. Her lips are swollen from my kiss, and I go back for more. This time she winds her arms around my neck and into my hair, knocking off my hat. I slide my hands down to her legs and lift her up so she can wrap them around my waist. She breaks the kiss again, holding my face in both hands as she searches the depths of my soul and says, âShow me, Tate. Show me you love me.â
