He won an hour with me from a stupid bet.

We were several shots of whiskey and two pints of Guinness in when Devin suggested we play his game.
That hour turned into the next morning.
Then all hell broke loose.
I ransacked his wallet to find his identification card.
Our bliss disappeared into anger, hate, and accusations.
When he rejected me in that room, he didn’t just leave me with a pounding headache and remorse.
He left me with a forever reminder of that night—the mix of two enemy bloods.

And now no one can ever know…including him.

Illicit Heir is book three of Mafia Wars Ireland. It’s a one-night-stand accidental pregnancy, secret baby, forbidden love, enemies to lovers, dark mafia romance.

His name is Rocky Jones.
Dark, disturbingly delicious, and domineering, his piercing gray eyes tempt and disarm. But he doesn’t affect me anymore—well, maybe a little.
So what if he’s the new president of Hell’s Bells MC? He disappeared without a word, leaving me brokenhearted. I don’t care that he’s back to rule our town and exact his revenge against the notorious Knight’s Legion MC.
Even if I did want Rocky with every cell in my body, it’s far too late for us. He betrayed our love. And so have I. When the club’s vice president, Vegas, offered me protection and a job, I accepted. Now that Rocky has returned, Vegas wants me for himself.
With Vegas as his number one enemy and the Knights as his very unlikely allies, none of us know what to expect from Rocky next. Will I be the future queen of the Hell’s Bells MC? Only if he doesn’t burn it to the ground.

This is the first thrilling spinoff from The Rise of Orion series, The Vampire’s Witch!

As an ancient vampire, Roman De’ Luca has amassed wealth, power, and the title of Prince of the Northern Territories, all of which make his dark existence tolerable.

She’s also the black sheep of her family, always breaking the rules, and is a magnet for danger. After one too many reckless decisions, Isabella ends up being claimed by an arrogant vampire with life-changing consequences for them both.
When the hunter becomes the hunted and a battle for leadership morphs into a fight for their survival, the enemies-to-lovers are forced to put aside their differences. Together they journey across the globe for answers.
But time is running out.
Will Roman be able to prevent Isabella from becoming the very creature she loathed?
And at what cost?

EXCERPT

“Save the child…please,” the witch pleaded.

Roman glanced over his shoulder at the tiny lifeless form a foot away. Spending precious time attending to the small girl would be fruitless. As he leaned in, the woman’s eyes flared as she sniffed him. Roman slipped his arm around her back, but she shoved him, swinging her arm out at an angle, slashing his face and drawing blood. Shit, he should’ve known the knuckle dusters were more than mere decoration. Grabbing her wrist, he dragged off the two rings, the blades now visible, and slipped them inside his pocket.

“Stop fighting me…I’m trying to help you.” He lifted her closer, but like a contortionist, the witch twisted and bent to the side, removing a thin, long knife from her ankle strap, which she waved at him, smiling.

“You’re a bloodthirsty monster…”

If he had a penny for every time he heard that. Cocking his head, Roman peered at the firecracker who didn’t know when to quit.

“Hm, not thirsty, I’ve already had my share of fresh virgins today, but I suppose…I could make an exception,” Roman said.

Argh!” she shouted, raising the steel knife, ready to stab him.

But he caught it between his hands and threw it away, where it landed in the nearest tree. Perhaps the witch was not as wounded as he thought, and he reexamined the mortal, who continued to thump his chest.

“I hope you choke on my blood…” she spat.

Blog Tour: Colored Lies by V.J. Lee

Title: Colored Lies 

Author: V.J. Lee 

Genre: Contemporary Romance 


COVER 



BLURB

I’m Jordan Ann Bland, Jo to my friends.

I hate lies.

I know from personal experience they ruin lives. To me, every lie has a color. The only lies I usually tell are pink ones; they don’t hurt anyone, but they make my life more exciting, much less—well, bland, and I don’t even have to leave the comfort of my home.
Then one night, I go against everything I believe and tell a gray lie, the kind that can hurt others, and it happens in front of one of the sexiest men I’ve ever seen. Now, I must keep telling these lies, so he doesn’t catch onto my secret. These gray lies are now turning into one of the worst-colored lies—black. This is why I hate all lies other than the pink ones.
To make things worse, this gorgeous man is dragging me around to do every pink lie I ever told; I have a feeling he knows I’m a liar.

I hate liars, even though I am one.

I’m Roman Joseph Arndt-Blackwell, RJ to my friends.

I hate all liars.

Chalk it up to a bad past relationship. I don’t want to be around liars, or get stuck in another relationship with one. But when the petite blonde in the bar makes a comment I know to be one whopper of a lie, I feel I need to do something about it, even though I must lie to her in turn—trust me, I know how hypocritical it is. Still, something about Jo draws me in, as much as it pushes me away.
My scheme to out her as a liar, opens my eyes to fun and, quite possibly, love. I do know one thing I refuse to do is fall for another liar, no matter how attracted I am to her.

I hate liars, even though I am one.

Series: Primal Mates #1

Genres: Sci-Fi/Paranormal Romance
Tropes: Fated Mates/Alien Romance
Release Date: July 8, 2023

BLURB

Warrior. Doctor. Spy. I am Commander Helion, a heartless terror, relentless and unforgiving. Merciless.

My destiny is not to claim a female, to have a family, to be rendered helpless by love.
Despite this, I am matched. A beautiful human female is now mine. Despite my warnings, she is determined to leave her mark on me, body and soul.
Honor demands I resist. I tell her the truth. I will not place a mating collar around her neck. I cannot protect her—especially from me—my choices—the horrors I face every day.
Just one moment of weakness and she gets under my skin, makes me want things I cannot have. She is everything I am not—and the most dangerous creature I have ever faced.
Claiming her—keeping her—is not possible with my pivotal role in this never-ending war. There is no place in my duties for desire. For need. Too many innocents count on me for protection. Too many lives are at stake, including hers.
The enemy is always ready and waiting, but I never expected her to be among them.
For the first time in my hardened life, I question my sanity. My dark soul. I begin to understand exactly what my enemies have stolen from me—and realize there is no limit to what a heartless warrior will sacrifice for love.

EXCERPT

I shuddered and pushed Danika, the Hive and the sanctuary out of my head. No more Hive experiments for me, thank you very much. But feeling what Zarren was feeling? Sharing his emotions? I needed that if I was going to keep him. Desperately.

Suddenly unsure, I tucked the third mating collar away inside my trunk before heading for the living room. I didn’t know if Zarren would be there when I opened the bedroom door. Didn’t have any idea whether he would have stuck around or left me here alone—probably so he could go to his comm station and send some kind of complaint or inquiry as to the Bride Program’s return policy.
Leaning my forehead against the cool door, I counted backward from ten. Slowly. I hid the mating collar, curling it up in the palm of one hand so I could wrap my fingers around it in a tight fist. The collar would bind us together, make our needs and emotions one.
I simply refused to believe Zarren was as cold-hearted and intractable as he seemed. If he were like that on the inside, the matching program would have sent him a robot, not a woman. Not me.
Before I could lose my nerve, I opened the door and took two steps into the barren living area. To my relief, Zarren was seated at the table, head bent over his task as he organized his super-secret, not-for-me papers.
He was gorgeous. The nearly constant state of arousal I’d been in since the processing simulation roared back to life.
He didn’t look at me as I stepped closer, but his nostrils flared. Could he smell my need for him? His hands curled into fists on top of the table. When he spoke, his words were nearly a growl. The tortured sound encouraged me to move even closer.
“What do you think you are doing, female?”

Samantha Fox is the heiress of Fox Sporting, my new management team. As one of the best wings in the NHL, I have never shied away from a challenge, and she is definitely a challenge. But if her company representing me doesn’t stop me from wanting her, the fact she’s engaged should, right?
But the noticeably absent sparkle from her left ring finger makes me question. I vow to myself that I’ll find out what that’s all about. And if she’s single, I plan to make her mine. Or at least, mine for the night. I just need one taste of the divine.

Off-limits. That’s what he is. Lucas Bouchard is the prestigious new client acquired by my family’s company. From what I know, not only is he an amazing hockey player, he’s a humble and generous philanthropist too. Also, he’s a walking aphrodisiac.
It doesn’t matter that I’ve just broken off my engagement to a cheating, using loser. Every time our eyes lock, I find myself captivated. But he’s not for me. No matter how many times I remind myself of this, though, it doesn’t compute. Plain and simple, I want him. And keeping my distance might prove impossible.
