Excerpt:

A devilish, almost villainous grin graced his lips as his eyes filled with amusement. “Oh, Gabriella, you’ve no idea,” he said. “I shouldn’t do this. I shouldn’t be here, but I can’t seem to help myself.” His words caught me off guard as his hands gripped my hips and he pushed me backwards until the brick of the wall bit into the skin of my lower back. He leaned down until his lips were dangerously close to mine. My insides quivered, and my heart leaped into my throat. For an entire week, I’d been waiting for his hands to be on me again, and now that he was right there, I knew I’d die if he didn’t touch me. Kiss me. Take me home and ravish me like he had that first night. “Adrian,” I whispered, surprised at the breathy, sultry tone of my voice. God, it’d only been a week and I was already dangerously addicted to him. His eyes gleamed as if he could read my mind, and I wondered if this has been his plan all along. To give me a taste, a perfect sneak peek at what being his would be like, and then take it away, only to keep showing up to tease me. To dangle the proverbial carrot on the string that was too high for me to get a taste or even the slightest nibble. It would suffice only for a moment, but it would be just enough to keep me from going insane. He was a deranged Pavlov and I was his little dog, salivating and panting, wanting him, that torturous bell ringing over and over again, but instead of giving me what I wanted, he kept it too far out of reach.

***Cover Reveal + Excerpt + Giveaway*** A Tragic Wreck By T.K. Leigh

Book Title: A Tragic Wreck 

Author: T.K. Leigh 

Genre: Romantic Suspense 

Release Date: February 4, 2013 

Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions

 

 How can you continue living when you’re living a lie? 

How can you convince your body to stop feeling, your soul to stop caring, and your heart to stop beating?

 Haunted by her past, Olivia Adler flees Boston for a beach in Florida, leaving everyone behind, trying to shut the world out. Remaining a relative recluse in her self-imposed prison, she tries to turn everything off, wanting to feel nothing. But a new acquaintance won’t let that happen. After being away from Alexander for a month, his voice constantly ringing in her head, reminding her that her inability to confront her demons will not only destroy her, but also him, can she really be expected to want to feel again when it brings nothing but pain?

 Back in Boston, everywhere he turns, Alexander Burnham is reminded of Olivia… His Olivia… He tries to dull the ache left in his heart the only way he knows how… in the bed of a beautiful woman. But Alexander isn’t about to lose his Olivia. After a clue comes to light regarding Olivia’s whereabouts, can he convince her to return to Boston with him? When a force that has laid dormant for months resurfaces, can Alexander still protect her from the unknown danger? And when Alexander comes face to face with a shadow of both his and Olivia’s past, will he be able to tell her the secret that is threatening to tear them apart? 

  A Tragic Wreck is the continuation of T.K. Leigh’s heart-breaking Beautiful Mess series.

   

 “Well, then, what do you want from me, Olivia?” he asked loudly, watching her walk away.

 She spun around abruptly and searched his eyes. “I don’t want you to always feel like you have to come and help me, Alex,” she whimpered, her throat beginning to close up again, thinking about the man who was no longer hers. “I just want you to stand by my side while I try to help myself.” Her eyes narrowed, staring at him as he remained silent on the busy Boston street. “Do you think you can do that?” She looked at him as snow continued to blanket the sidewalk, desperately wanting him to say that yes, he could do that. That he would stand by her side. That he would forget all about her running out on him. And that he would do anything he could to make sure she never did the same thing again.

 But instead, Alexander just stood there and stared, not saying anything. 

 Several moments passed, the silence deafening. “That’s what I thought.” Her eyes fell as she turned and continued to walk, shivering from the snow and the last shattered pieces of her heart being stomped on.

 Alexander tried to open his mouth to say something. Anything. Tell her to wait. Stop. He made a mistake. But nothing came out. He knew he had just let the only woman he would ever truly love walk out of his life. And he did nothing. He watched his entire world fall apart and he didn't do anything to stop it. All of a sudden, he felt more lonely than he had ever felt in all his thirty years.

T. K. Leigh, otherwise known as Tracy Leigh Kellam, is a producer / attorney by trade.

 Originally from New England, she now resides in sunny Southern California with her husband, dog and three cats, all of which she has rescued (including the husband). She always had a knack for writing, but mostly in the legal field. It wasn’t until recently that she decided to try her hand at creative writing and is now addicted to creating different characters and new and unique story lines in the Contemporary Romantic Suspense genre. 

 When she’s not planted in front of her computer, writing away, she can be found running and training for her next marathon (of which she has run over fifteen fulls and far too many halfs to recall). Unlike Olivia, the main character in her Beautiful Mess series, she has yet to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

Things always happen for a reason. I just wish I knew the why behind mine.

Five years ago, graduation wasn’t what it was supposed to be. Publicly humiliated, Melanie was more than happy to kiss off her high school sweetheart. But in doing so, she lost more than just her boyfriend, she lost the only other guy she truly cared for – his best friend, Shane. 

 Shane loathed the idea of returning to his small hometown. He just wanted to get in, help his best friend manage a legal matter, and get the hell back out again. But he wasn’t expecting to run into the one girl who got away, who always held a piece of his heart despite the animosity that lingered. Melanie could’ve been the one, but after everything that happened, trust was a serious issue. Melanie just wanted to do right by her son. Shane just wanted to do right by his best friend. 

And just when they think they can find the strength to forgive the sins of the past, more secrets and lies bubble to the surface, threatening to push them even farther apart.

I’m a mom, wife, a lover and a fighter, coffee addict, wicked knitster, Microbiologist, baker of fine yummy treats, and someone who will fight you to death for that last bag of M&Ms during the zombie-apocalypse. Seriously, my addiction is that important to me.

In Darkness We Must Abide

A Modern Horror with a Gothic Romance

By Rhiannon Frater

In Darkness We Must Abide is a very unique experience for me as a horror writer. Not

only is it a continuing serial with three planned seasons, but it’s also a story driven by

the relationship between my two leads, Armando and Vanora.

Growing up, I loved gothic romance. Jane Eyre continues to be my all-time favorite

novel. I used to gobble up Victoria Holt novels like candy. I loved the complications of a

gothic romance. The characters were flawed, but somehow had dynamic chemistry. The

endings were not always happy, but the couples were always fascinating to read about.

It’s that type of romance I’ve infused into my serial.

Armando and Vanora are not perfect people. Armando is a 400-year-old vampire

with many, many secrets. The Spanish vampire is often torn between his service to

his mysterious, dangerous vampire Master and the feelings he has for Vanora and her

family. Vanora is an albino, and the world is not always kind to her. Orphaned at a

young age, she’s been raised by older siblings. To make matters even more complicated,

Vanora has inherited her mother’s sixth sense and when she first meets Armando

she senses danger. Despite all their difficulties, both characters’ actions are heavily

influenced by their feelings for each other, in both good and bad ways.

When our story begins, Vanora is ten years old when her life changes forever, when

her brother brings home their ancestors from Romania to be interred at their estate in

Houston, Texas. When Roman has one of the old coffins unchanged, he unleashes an

evil that threatens not only his life, but that of his two half-sisters, Alisha and Vanora.

A few years later, a mysterious stranger, Armando, enters her life and Vanora develops a

mad crush on the charismatic Spanish vampire. All is not what it seems with Armando,

and he is a keeper of many secrets that can potentially adversely affect her life. Through

the first four episodes we witness Vanora growing up and becoming a strong young

woman. By the end of episode four, The Gift, Armando has taken note as well, which

leads to the dramatic and heartbreaking events in episode 5, The Vampires.

Because Armando doesn’t fully enter the story until episode 3, The Arrival of Armando

DeLeon, I was had to find an inventive way to let the reader know about his impending

arrival. I already knew from past beta readers that he is a huge draw to the story. That

is how the prologues were born. Each episode starts in the “present” time period, where

an adult Vanora is interacting with Armando, then flashes backwards in time. Each

prologue hints at terrible events happening in the present time period and hints that

something passionate once happened between Armando and Vanora, though they appear estranged.

At the beginning of Season 2, we get to see the aftermath of the events in the season one

finale. Vanora fled Houston to Austin and believes she’s escaped the darkness, but over

the course of Episode 6 and 7 it becomes increasingly apparent that she has a legacy that

was hidden from her and can’t escape. Magic becomes a more pronounced element in

her development, and, of course, Armando is never very far away even if she can’t see

him. At the beginning of Episode 8 the readers get to see events in the previous prologue

from Armando’s point of view, which was a lot of fun to write. Season 2 finally brings the

two timelines together in Episode 8, but in a very heartbreaking way. What happens in

Episode 8 has a massive fallout in the final two episodes of the second season.

Armando and Vanora continue to be at the core of the story as they face the ultimate evil

that’s coming to destroy their lives. As always, the dynamic between the two characters

is very intense and their relationship evolves in a way that I believe will make many of

the fans happy. Armando is a complicated guy and though people love him, they don’t

always trust him. In the second season we get to see into the core of the vampire and his

true thoughts and motivations.

Season two is also filled with elements of horror, adventure, drama, and gothic romance.

There may even be a sexy scene or two. The events in this season definitely build on the

first and set the stage for a very exciting, dramatic, and intense Season 3.

Of course, whether or not Vanora and Armando get a happy ending has yet to be seen,

but they’re both very determined characters that will fight until the very end.

Book Summary from Goodreads:

Love is patient. 

It can happen when you least expect it, where you least expect it, with whom you least expect it.

Love is kind.

And it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love doesn’t hold a grudge.

Love forgives.

Love forgets.

But when the healing of your heart 

breaks the hearts of the ones you love …

it may seem impossible to

Find joy.

Excerpt :

First Fight:

I felt his body give a little in my arms, and he finally put his arms around me. We stood there 

with our arms wrapped around each other, saying nothing. The movement of the train gently 

listed us back and forth, but Adam’s feet remained firmly planted, holding us steady. 

“We just had our first real fight,” I whispered. 

It wasn’t entirely true. We had fought once before. It had been about the accident and had 

ended with me running out on him with the intention of never going back. It had been a turning 

point in our relationship. So it was hard to think of it as nothing more than a ‘fight.’ This was our 

first argument that wasn’t related to our past. 

I looked around to see if anyone had witnessed this monumental event, but the only other 

passenger was a woman with earbuds stuck in her ears at the other end of the car. She tapped her 

foot along to whatever she was listening to and read from a book she held in front of her face. 

Adam’s hand wandered from around my waist to my backside. He squeezed it and buried his 

face in my hair. “You know, there’s only one thing to do after a fight,” he growled, just as we 

conveniently pulled into our stop. 

“What’s that?” I asked coyly.

“Make-up sex. I need to get you home. Right. Fucking. Now. If you’re lucky, we’ll make it.” 

“If I’m lucky, maybe we won’t,” I chided him. 

“Oh, that’s it,” he said. Before I knew what was even happening, his hands were back around 

my waist, and he hoisted me over his shoulder. This was the second time in as many weeks that 

he’d thrown me over his shoulder in a public place. 

 “Adam,” I said, smacking him on his butt as he strode purposefully through the open train 

door. “You’ve got to stop carrying me around like this. It’s not dignified.”

“I don’t give a shit about dignified.” Oblivious to everyone around us, he carried me through 

the tunnel and up the stairs to the street. Only after we were on Broadway did he put me down.

“Now keep up,” he said, dragging me toward our building. “Or I’ll be forced to carry you the 

whole way.”

I had to admit that I didn’t really mind the caveman show. In fact, there wasn’t much that I 

didn’t like about my occasionally cocky, subtly tattooed, movie-quoting, cat-whispering, t-shirt-

wearing, Eminem-singing, muscle-car-loving, sweetheart of a man.
