TOUR HOST: XPRESSO BOOK TOURS

Wingman rule number two: never reveal how much you want them.

Lex hates Gabi. Gabi hates Lex. But, hey, at least the hate is mutual, right? All Lex has to do is survive the next few weeks training Gabi in all the ways of Wingmen Inc. and then he can be done with her. But now that they have to work together, the sexual tension and fighting is off the charts. He isn’t sure if he wants to strangle her or throw her against the nearest sturdy table and have his way with her.

But Gabi has a secret, something she’s keeping from not just her best friend but her nemesis too. Lines are blurred as Lex becomes less the villain she’s always painted him to be…and starts turning into something more. Gabi has always hated the way she’s been just a little bit attracted to him—no computer-science major should have that nice of a body or look that good in glasses—but “Lex Luthor” is an evil womanizer. He’s dangerous. Gabi should stay far, far away.

Then again, she’s always wanted a little danger.

She’s the woman he has to have . . .

My name's shouted on rooftops. 

It's written on bras, bathroom stalls, hell my name is everywhere. To say my name is to experience an orgasm without ever leaving your house. 

My name? 

Zane "Saint" Andrews. 

I'm sex. 

I'm a rock god. 

I'm also a virgin. 

What they don't know won't kill them right? Give the people what they want. And what they want is the idea of me; the pleasure they gain at listening to my song and knowing without a doubt I'm talking about them and only them.

It worked for a while. 

Until a nerdy girl with glasses falls at my feet, literally, and suddenly I don't want to be Saint anymore, what I want? What I really need? 

Is to be kept.

SOURCE: ARDENT PROSE

Being the only woman working for a professional baseball team isn’t easy. As the San Diego Shock’s newest athletic trainer, Allie knows all about long hours, endless travel, and warding off players’ advances. Given she’s already the subject of a handful of rumors about how “lucky” she was to have earned such a coveted position, she can’t so much as flutter an eyelash a player’s way if she wants to be taken seriously. 

But number eleven is doing more than fluttering eyelashes Allie’s way. Far more. Luke Archer is at the top of his game and doesn’t let the fear of striking out keep him from swinging. This is a motto he applies both on and off the field, but Allie appears immune, seeming to view Luke as nothing more than caution tape on legs. 

He’s a player, and in Allie’s experience, they’re all the same. She won’t risk her job or her heart to another one, no matter how different this one claims to be. But as Allie gets to know him, she discovers the number eleven the public thinks they know is very different from the real Luke Archer. He seems too good to be true. 

And maybe he is. 

Allie will have to confront the stories attached to a player of Luke Archer’s stature and decide who she’ll put her faith in—The man she’s falling for? Or the rumors?

A smokin’ hot British player…

A jilted girl…

One night of mistaken identity…

She didn't plan on attending a masquerade party.

She sure didn’t plan on waking up next to the British bad boy who broke her heart three years ago—the devastatingly handsome and naked Dax Blay. Furthermore, she has no clue how they acquired matching tattoos.

Once back at Whitman together, they endeavor to pretend they never had their night of unbridled passion in London. 

But that’s damn hard to do when you live in the same house…

One night. Two damaged hearts. The passion of a lifetime.

Donati Bloodlines Trilogy, book 2
★★★★★

SOURCE: INDIESAGE

Calisto Donati

Calisto had never been a fan of pain, but he found it provided a certain relief. 

It was a high that couldn’t compete with anything else he experienced. That was why he fought bare-knuckled, why he drove fast, despite knowing he might crash, and why he still enjoyed looking at Emma Donati—no matter her current status. 

Pain felt good. 

He might have been a fool for doing so, but as long as he got what he wanted from it, he didn’t really care. 

When he fought, he was given release. When he drove, he was given freedom. When he looked at Emma, he was given memories. 

All of them brought a certain level of pain. All three might kill him someday. 

Calisto glanced at Emma, taking her in again when she didn’t know he was looking. 

He realized then that only one might actually be worth dying for. 

Emma Donati

Emma kept her gaze on the book in her lap, pretending like there wasn’t an argument going on across the room. She had become terribly good at acting like she didn’t hear. 

Calisto watched her out of the corner of his eye while he argued on with Affonso.

She was too focused on Calisto to care about their fight. 

His anger. The tightness of his jaw. Searing soul-black eyes. 

The two men were not the same. They might have shared blood, but their hearts were entirely different. One man never let her out of his sight when he was nearby. The other acted like she didn’t exist. 

This was what it was like, she realized, to be in love with someone she couldn’t have. 

Calisto Donati would never be hers.

This wasn’t a fairy tale that would end happily. 

They weren’t star-crossed. They were impossible.

★★★★★

SOURCE: ENTICING JOURNEY

Keeton Pearce hadn’t lived a life full of supportive, loving family… 

In fact, it was just the opposite. 

He had been on his own for so long he had no idea what it felt like to belong. He didn’t want to rehash the life he left behind, or even think about it. But the hate from his father followed him, slowly eating away at the life he had begun to build for himself. 

Olivia Sawyer had been prepped on how to deal with the advances of those college men she would encounter… 

After all, she had been surrounded by three alpha men who made sure she knew just how to handle herself. But when she met Keeton Pearce, all those words of warning flew right out the window. 

For the first time she had nothing to say. She was caught up in those eyes and that dimple. 

The Sawyer attitude no longer gave her the ability to be immune. 

Neither of them counted on meeting each other. It was by chance, and no one expected that one moment would change their lives forever. 

For the first time in his life, Keeton had hope. 

He felt like he had found where he belonged. 

But would he survive the interrogation of an overprotective father and the watchful eyes of Jackson and Noah? 

Or would Keeton run for the hills, fearful of… 

the Sawyer Brothers?

My best friend’s little sister. That’s all Emma Briggs is to me. 

I keep trying to convince myself that statement is true but it’s a lie. 

It’s her face I see every time I close my eyes. 

It’s her touch I yearn to feel. 

It’s her lips I long to kiss. 

It’s her cherry I want to pop. 

We were separated by time and distance, but now she’s back in my life. And everything has changed. 

Every. Thing. 

She’s no longer that kid tagging along behind me. The special bond I’ve shared with her—for as long as I can remember—has become something so different. Something so forbidden. Something so hot. 

Desire is telling me to do it—to pop her cherry. It would be so easy to give in and take her because she'll feel so good. 

My best friend’s little sister is all grown up. And I want her. 

She. Will. Be. Mine.
