COVER 




BLURB 

There is only one woman in the world who could melt this grumpy billionaire’s heart… and she just happens to be his wife.

Emre
They call me the Beast of the Bosporus. Fierce, mean, and cruel. They aren’t wrong.
I have no illusions about love, family, or marriage.
I had no intention of making space in my life for anyone, including my arranged wife.
But I wasn’t prepared for who my wife would be.
Now, nothing will ever be the same.
It will take every single shred of strength to maintain my self-control and stay unaffected.
It will take all my will to deny what I know when I look at her.
That we were fated, right from the start.

Olivia
Fulfilling my duty to my father’s memory didn’t seem the worst thing in the world.
For my parents, arranged marriages were common.
I had no idea that it would be to the coldest and most arrogant man in the city.
Now, Emre thinks he can control me and forget about me.
But I know I affect him more than he wants, and I’ll use it every way I can.
I have a suspicion that my husband isn’t quite the monster he wants everyone to believe.
I have a feeling that there’s a real man under his gruff exterior, and I want to know him.
I won’t let him go, without a fight.

Warning:
When this OTT billionaire meets his forever girl, he’ll let nothing and no one stand in his way. If you like sassy independent women and wickedly obsessed billionaires, then this standalone book in the Billionaire Boy’s Club series is for you.

ABOUT GIA

Gia Bailey loves to write steamy, sweet, short romances to keep her warm during the cold Scottish nights. All her heroes, from mountain men to billionaires, are possessive, obsessive alpha males, who go OTT for the women they fall for. And the heroines? Shy, sweet, smart, ambitious, and everything in between, these ladies always get their happy endings. 


When not writing, she lives with her own burly Russian mountain man and all-knowing four year old, and enjoys baking, reading, jumping in muddle puddles (it’s Scotland, so there are lots), and inventing elaborate dreamworlds to play in. After all, life’s too short for anything other than a HEA.

Life didn’t turn out how Addelyn Black thought it would. Being a single mom to a five-year-old is not something girls dream about. She wouldn’t change it for the world. But one thing was missing, and she didn’t expect to find it in the shape of Jesse Summers.


Jesse Summers has everything he ever wanted. At thirty-five he owns his own Ranch, a loving family and lives in the most beautiful place in the world. There’s only one thing missing. It took him a long time to finally see what was staring him right in the face.

They say, the best things that happen are unplanned. And to always expect the unexpected. Could this be true for Addelyn and Jesse? Or is it all just Decorah magic?

ABOUT THE AUTHORS


ANA BALEN 



Ana Balen was born in Zagreb, Croatia, where she still lives with her husband, their son (read boss!) and the son’s pet rabbit named Shhh! (or some other gibberish that’s the favorite of their son for the day.)

She spends her days driving her husband up the wall (when he can’t get her ass up from the bed in the mornings), reading and daydreaming, or following orders from a three-year-old. In the hectic life she leads (and loves every second of it), she never thought about writing. But, then one day a name popped in her head, then, the snippets of things, and she sat down and started typing. Next thing, she wrote a book. And now, she’s about to release her seventh!





ALLORA RYAN 




Hi, I’m Allora, and if you haven’t noticed already, I am a romance author! I am new to the book world and Unexpected is my first book and it’s co-written with author Ana Balen. I come from the north side of Dublin’s Inner city, I have children and I enjoy long walks on the beach where I get a lot of ideas for my stories. Thanks for visiting!

Author: Gia Bailey

COVER 



BLURB


I was a dead man walking, and she was a light in the dark. Was she an angel sent to save my soul? Or a temptation meant to distract me from my purpose? Either way, she is mine.

Karim
I was a creature of darkness. A monster, a ghoul.
I existed for one purpose. To wreak vengeance upon the guilty.
But a chance encounter with a stranger changes all that.
Dani is light in the long dark.
She makes me hope again. She is dangerous, and yet, I cannot stay away from her.
Only she can bring me back to the world of the living… if there is enough of my soul left to save.

Dani
My life was pretty predictable, boring even.
Sure, I had exciting dreams, but the days I had left to fulfill them seemed to be disappearing.
Then I met him.
A man running from his past. A man who felt he had no future.
He drew me in and captivated me from the start.
I wanted to save him, but some hearts are too lost to move.
Can love save a man intent on his own destruction?

Warning
When this OTT mafia bad boy meets his forever girl, he’ll let nothing and no one stand in his way. If you like sassy independent women and wickedly obsessed broody heroes, then this standalone book in the Bad Boy Bratva series is for you.

SAMSON

She’s always been off-limits. Forbidden. Way too young for the likes of me.
And yet, she still managed to carve out a space for herself in my heart.
But when push came to shove, I made the only choice I could, and I did it even knowing it would break her heart.
I’m back now, and ready to make her mine. Only, she’s not the sweet girl I left behind. She’s wild, reckless, and sexy-as-hell…a challenge I’m all too eager to meet.

STELLA

He was only ever meant to be a crush. After all, what girl isn’t into her older brother’s best friend?
But somehow, our innocent flirting quickly gave way to so much more. He swore he felt the same way about me… he promised we’d tell my brother together the day I turned eighteen.
Except the night before my birthday, he did the unthinkable, and now I’m not sure I know how to forgive him.
All I know is, I refuse to be anyone’s dirty little secret.

Author: Ember Davis
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 26th






COVER





BLURB


Are you interested in participating in a stranger photo session? It’s a fun way to meet someone new and take part in a unique experience. If you are single and in the Denver area, please fill out the form below. I will pair people as I see fit. All sessions will be free. I will post pictures from each shoot on social media. Each stranger session is different and will depend on the pair.
Maybe your soul mate is just a look away.
~Post on Ellie Banks’ social media

JAMESON

While other people my age are getting married and having kids, I just have my job and my dad. I don’t need more than that. Still, I’ve never been one to turn down a new experience and sign up for one of those stranger shoots I keep seeing everywhere. I don’t know the photographer and I don’t really care. It’ll be a better way to spend a little time than at the construction site or at home.

When I turn around, I’m met with an angel. I want to shower her with all the cheesy pick-up lines I know, but they won’t work on a girl like her. Lucky me, she feels the same way I do—like fate is giving us the chance we both need. Suddenly, the worst day of the week is my new obsession.

When I go to Dad’s house for dinner, I think it’s the perfect time to tell him I’ve met the love of my life. I’m not expecting to see Monday there or to find out I have a new stepmom. If anyone thinks that’s going to stop me from making Monday mine, they’re wrong.

MONDAY

I’m used to making my clients happy all day, a smile on my face and a sunny attitude. I’m not faking it, but I feel like I can do more, be more. I want to do so much more with my career as a make-up artist than brides and prom looks. I love the makeovers where I can show a woman how special she is, but my dream is editorials. I want to make make-up into art, true art that’s appreciated.

It might be self-serving, but that’s why I signed up for the photography session with Ellie Banks. I know if I can talk to her then I could make a connection…and maybe an opportunity.

I wasn’t expecting to be paired with Jameson. He’s got bad boy written all over him, but I know there’s something deeper there too. I want to find out what it is. I want to be his; it feels right. I don’t know what to do with the little fact that our parents are getting married, even though we had no idea. I might not know, but Jameson does.

If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. My Stranger Shoot Series are novellas that take place within the Denver Family world but is not part of the main timeline. Each book can be read as a standalone. Don’t be surprised to see characters from the Denver Family, other than Ellie, pop in.

SHERIDAN

I love my mama, but she did me wrong by giving me the name of an old lady. I have enough in my life to make me feel far beyond my 24 years, like having an eight-year-old daughter, and my name isn’t helping. I’ve fought hard to be the best single mom I can be. I’ve sacrificed so much, and I don’t regret a single thing.

That doesn’t mean I shouldn’t have a little fun and meet someone my own age. Sounds like a dream to me. That’s why I sign up to do a stranger photo session. I’m surprised when I turn around and see Crawford because, even for an older man, he does it for me. In a big way. There’s something between us I would give almost anything to explore.

I think there’s a spark, but he walks away without looking back. Fate’s not done with us, though, and I don’t think he’ll be able to resist me a second time.

CRAWFORD

When you move to a new city it’s hard to get into the groove of things. Denver is the biggest city I’ve lived in, but I’m motivated to take on my new job and make the school better for the teachers and the kids. Elementary school is a new one for me, but I’m up for the challenge.

Moving and not knowing anyone could make anyone lonely. That’s why I apply for some photo thing on a whim. Why not? Right?

Turning around and seeing Sheridan makes all that loneliness disappear, but she’s 18 years younger than me. I don’t think that’s a gap we can build a bridge over. Walking away is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I must push her out of my mind and move on with my life.

When we meet again through circumstance, I won’t be able to walk away again. I’m a man who is only so strong. She’s mine and this time I’ll prove it to her.

If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. My Stranger Shoot Series are novellas that take place within the Denver Family world but is not part of the main timeline. Each book can be read as a standalone.

LUCAS

When you’re starting your life over again, you go back to what you know. For me, that’s Denver. I thought I’d left this city behind, convinced I was on to bigger and better things. One second, one wrong step, and everything came crashing down. People pretend to rally around me, but it’s all fake as hell.

That’s why I signed up to do the stranger session. I needed to shake things up, do something new and maybe meet a pretty face at the same time.

I wasn’t expecting to turn around and see someone I recognized. We might have gone to high school together, but we’re still strangers. Then and now. How do I show a girl who knew my reputation back then I’m a different person now?

ALINA

I’m finally free of what I used to be. It’s a great feeling. I’m exactly who I want to be, who I knew I always was, but I had to fight hard to leave the nerdy bookworm behind. I’m finally the butterfly and I want to show it to the world. That’s why getting a free photography session was right up my alley; the fact that it would be with a stranger didn’t faze me at all.

I wish I’d turned around and saw a stranger. I might not know him, but I remember him. He was that guy in school. You know the one.

He says he’s changed. He says a lot of things. Does he really think I’m his? Can you fall in love with someone so easily? It feels real. The best way to test it, I guess, is to go back to where it all began.
