    Only Ever You (Mountain Siege Series #1) by Olivia Night

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Cooper and Emma are childhood sweethearts whose lives change irrevocably after a tragic car accident. The emotional fallout finds both of them distant and grieving, though no less in love with one another. In a perfect world they would have had the ability to work through this awful time in their lives together. But, instead, they go their separate ways. Neither expecting to find happiness without the other.
    Four years later they find themselves thrown back together. Emma, a middle school English teacher is witness to a murder. Cooper, now detective with the Asheville PD, steps in to work on the case.
    As the man, who committed the murder, sets Emma in his sights Cooper and Emma embark on a deeply emotional and difficult journey as they try to find their way back to each other.
    But the murder is only the first wave of the coming tsunami. The man after Emma is part of an illegal organization, The Ridgeliners. The powerful group has swept through the South. Each city buckling under its pressure. With the Liners comes drugs, guns and prostitution. Now, they want Asheville.
    Cooper must protect Emma, race against time to hold the Liners’s back from taking over his city and together they must face down their past and the demons that came in their wake.
    Only Ever You is an exciting, devastating and emotional read.
    Why did you write this book?
    As I was cleaning one Saturday And So It Goes by Billy Joel came on my Pandora. The song made me pause and think about what it must be like to suffer real, deep loss. And from those thoughts Cooper and Emma emerged. I ended up writing the first thirty pages to their story that weekend. Apparently they had been waiting around for me to tell their tale.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    Romantic suspense, of course!
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Anne Shirley. I love her spunk, her ceaseless wonder of the world and her perspective.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I am finishing up book four in this series and have also begun a third series that is Romantic suspense/military.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    You should look for books two, Love You Forever and book three, Their Only Choice over the summer and the final book in this series, First and Last will hit stores sometime in the fall.

    Olivia Night, a fictional character herself, has always been an avid reader and writer. She found the romance genre in college and has never been able to get enough. One sleepless night, the main characters of Book One in her Men of FTI series sprang from her head fully formed. They demanded she tell their story; so she did. As they revealed themselves, so did two other intriguing characters. Those characters convinced her to give them their own books because their stories were worth telling too. And so Olivia suddenly became a romance author. When Olivia is not writing, she has the best job in the world, which, too, will remain a secret. In her free time, she reads, write, drinks wine, or is, most likely, out emulating Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Olivia lives in one of the most diverse and vibrant cities in the U.S.—Baltimore. She lives with her cat, which she is convinced was a gladiator in his past life. Olivia plans to continue being awesome at this thing called life. Really, that’s her only goal.

    Perdition House (# 1 An Erotic Saga) by Bonnie Edwards

    Welcome to Perdition House: a house of sin, secrets, and seduction.
    Some ghost stories are erotic…
    Faye Grantham inherits Perdition House, a former bordello, and expects to sell the property but the spirits who “live” there have other ideas. As the spirits tell their stories one by one, Faye is embroiled in a life-changing situation that has her questioning everything she believes. Should she stay with her fiancé or move on to one of the men the spirits have thrown into her life?
    Liam Watson wears comfort like most men wear cologne. With an interest in adventurous sex, he’s more man than he first seems.
    Mark McLeod is a strong, decisive businessman who was not meant to be more than a hot one-night stand. But Mark is in no hurry to end their liaison, and hopes to continue Faye’s lessons in sensuality.
    As the spirits reveal themselves, Faye learns their stories: how they came to Perdition House, why they joined the women there and some of the secrets that only a high-class bordello could hold.
    But can decades-old secrets affect Faye’s life today?

    #FreeBookFriday with Kris Bock and other authors #RLFblogThe Dead Man’s Treasure by Kris Bock

    Rebecca Westin is shocked to learn the grandfather she never knew has left her a bona fide buried treasure – but only if she can decipher a complex series of clues leading to it. The hunt would be challenging enough without interference from her half-siblings, who are determined to find the treasure first and keep it for themselves. Good thing Rebecca has recruited some help.
    Sam is determined to show Rebecca that a desert adventure can be sexy and fun. But there’s a treacherous wildcard in the mix, a man willing to do anything to get that treasure – and revenge.
    Action and romance combine in this lively Southwestern adventure, complete with riddles the reader is invited to solve to identify historical and cultural sites around New Mexico.
    “The Dead Man’s Treasure is fast-paced and a perfect read for the weekend. I highly recommend this one.”
    “I can’t say enough how much I loved this book! It has mystery, adventure, danger, romance, and above it all family remains a huge theme.”
    The Dead Man’s Treasure is book 2 of the Southwest Treasure Hunters novels. Each book features a different hero and heroine, and stands alone, with a happy ending.

    Stealing the Billionaire’s Heart by Robin Michaela @robinsromances #RLFblog #billionaireromance

    Stealing the Billionaire's Heart by Robin Michaela @robinsromances #RLFblog #billionaireromanceRobin Michaela, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.

    Stealing the Billionaire’s Heart by Robin Michaela

    Genre Contemporary
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Lyra Bretton is stunned when she’s abandoned at the altar. Figuring the best way to get over one man is to get under another one, she combs the luxurious Las Vegas resort where she was to be married, intent on spending her almost-wedding night with the sexiest man she can find.
    Billionaire womanizer, Nicolas Sebastian, is tempted by the beautiful bride’s shocking proposal. The workaholic COO of the family hotel chain can’t deny his attraction to the woman who should be weeping in her room instead of shredding her wedding gown in his lounge. Their chemistry is explosive, but Nicolas has been burned before. He’ll never commit his heart because he learned years ago that women are only interested in his wallet.
    Their Vegas fling soon turns into something neither of them can control. But, when they travel to his lavish property in Italy, money goes missing and expensive jewelry turns up in Lyra’s possession, putting their fragile future in jeopardy. Unless they can find a way to trust again, they risk losing each other forever.
    What’s your favorite down-home family style meal?
    Homemade lasagna with a fresh salad and a side of warm, crusty bread fresh from the oven. Plus a slice of chocolate cake. In my opinion, no meal is complete without some kind of chocolate.
    What is your go-to meal when you dine out?
    I love almost any type Mexican food. It’s even better with a grande margarita and a side of chips and salsa (…and chocolate). Yum!
    When you read for pleasure, what kind of books do you choose?
    I almost always read romances. I enjoy all forms of it, so I’m happy reading contemporary, paranormal, Viking, Highlander, whatever. If it’s not too dark and depressing, I’ll read it!
    What kinds of things do you read when you’re researching a new book?
    I want my settings and characters to grab my readers so I research everything unless I have firsthand knowledge of it. For example, in Stealing the Billionaire’s Heart, I’d been to Venice so I could write about the setting with no problem. But Nicolas is a billionaire so he’s going to be surrounded by the things that wealth can buy. When I was creating the setting of his grandmother, Claudia’s, apartment in a Venetian palace, I figured she’d probably have collected some artworks by famous painters. I did some research and found that some miniature portraits can be worth a LOT of money…which inspired the idea that his prior girlfriend had stolen a miniature. So when Lyra ends up with his grandmother’s earrings, he’s going to think she’s a thief, too.
    If the hero of your latest book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?
    I think Nicolas’ ringtone would definitely be For the Love of Money by the O’Jays…”money, money, MONEY!”.

    Blood Moon, a new #PNR by Livia Quinn @liviaquinn #RLFblog #paranormalToday’s featured book is Blood Moon, a paranormal by Livia Quinn. Book 6 in the Destiny Paramortals is now available on Kindle Unlimited
    She could destroy his world…or save it.
    There’s a new supe in Destiny. She sauntered into the Moat of Morpheus, a redheaded violet-eyed warrior carrying a giant head-splitter of a sword and wielding it with magic. Her name was Cinder. River felt an immediate attraction as well as a lifting of the despair that had been his only companion for months. But it was short lived.
    She was there to kill a dragonhunter and accused River of hiding the truth about him. Turns out, she was right. River had a secret and his own reasons for remaining quiet. If he couldn’t break free from the villain’s control, there would be devastating consequences for his family and ultimately, the other Paramortals.
    After his sister and the dragon sheriff go missing, River and Cinder join forces. But history has a way of coming full circle and echoes from their past bring a shattering revelation about their Paramortal family and the dragonhunter’s true identity, a perspective neither of them could have anticipated. Can they forgive the past to overcome their common enemy or will the news tear their relationship and the Paramortals apart forever?

    Genre: Regency Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Freedom!
    Vowing she’ll never submit to an arranged marriage, an earl’s daughter bolts for the remote seaside cottage that should be hers upon marriage.
    But instead of a quiet respite from her controlling family, she finds her refuge occupied by the last man she ever wants to see again—an American artist, who’s also a thief.
    And quite possibly one of her father’s spies.
    This story includes a rebellious heroine, a determined spy, a meddling father, a vicious villain, a cast of free-thinking free-traders and possibly a ghost or two!

    I have a contemporary romance story published in the anthology, Romancing the Pages, plus several contemporary romance manuscripts on hold for when I someday move on from the nineteenth century!
    How do you come up with ideas?…
    I love to read nonfiction, especially biographies, diaries and memoirs of historical figures.
    What is the single most important part of writing for you?…
    Getting the motivation right for every character, every action, every bit of dialogue.
    When did you write your first book?…
    I started many, many stories over the years, but I never typed “the end” until 2009.

    Collette Cameron's Earl of Wainthorpe @Collette_Author #RLFblog #Historical #RomanceCollette Cameron, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.

    The Earl of Wainthorpe by Collette Cameron

    Genre: Historical Regency
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Could you ever love the unrepentant rake who won you in a wager?
    He didn’t gamble on losing his heart when he won her at the gaming tables.
    Pierce, the Earl of Wainthorpe has finally thwarted his worst enemy. Except he can’t revel in his victory after winning his foe’s ward in a winner-takes-all wager. If Pierce refuses to assume Bianca Salisbury’s guardianship, the fiery-haired beauty with a matching temper may very well find herself sold to the highest bidder.
    The shameful secret she guards makes it impossible to love a rogue.
    Desperate to escape her blackguard cousin, Bianca Salisbury ventures to London to find a husband or employment. Instead, she’s bartered to a notorious rakehell. She either risks being compromised and accepts The Earl of Wainthorpe’s protection, or flees him and her guardian. But without money and a place to go, she fears she’ll face the same tragic fate as her mother.
    Caution: This romance features a sexy, irredeemable scoundrel determined to thumb his nose at the haut ton, a saucy country miss unafraid to speak her mind but terrified of even a hint of scandal, a unlikely aristocratic matchmaker, a trio of busybody sisters you’ll adore, and a very pregnant calico that is convinced humans are only around for her convenience.
    For a page-turning Historical Romance novel brimming with Regency England’s rakish dukes and rapscallion lords, buy this passionate adventure sprinkled with suspense and humor. You won’t be able to put it down.
