Genre: Romantic Suspense
Cover Design: Ikonic Imagery
Photographer: Wander Aguiar
Model: Garrick Murdie 
Release Date: January 11, 2016

Blurb:

Evelyn 

I pray to be forgiven for my sins, but the prayers of someone like me won't dare breach the edge of heaven. 

Sins. All sins are equal in the eyes of God, but I'm not God. Some sins are far more wretched than others. And those sinners should pay, Evelyn. One sinner made me his sin, and I can't let men like him live. They must face their judgement, Evelyn. I want to kill them. Every. Last. One. 

Ezra James is no different, and I wanted to kill him, I needed to kill him, I'm was going to kill him...And then I found myself fascinated by him, obsessed and possessed in the most reverent of ways. I became his sinner, and he became my sin, but the wages of sin is death, so I must kill him. 

Ezra 

The son of a whore, raised by gangsters, moulded into a key player in a corrupt world ruled by money and completely without morals. 

This world can break a person. I’ve seen it time and time again. I never gave a shit, until the night I watched a man drop dead at the feet of a woman so broken she made even me feel whole. My little killer called to my depravity and everything in me demanded that I take her, possess her, own her. 

Some monsters hide behind the faces of angels, where others stand in plain sight. 

Damned. Broken. Irredeemable.

Through blood, absolution shall be found.

Blog Tour - Anything More Than Now by Rebecca Paula - Giveaway, Teasers & Top Five Songs that inspired



Synopsis:

Reagan Landry is months away from college graduation, but instead of excitement, she’s frozen by the fear of letting go — of her ex-boyfriend, of the comfortable life she created for herself in Portland, of the years-long search for her older sister who abandoned her as a homeless teen. When she’s finally forced to decide what’s next, Reagan is met with another complication — her ex’s best friend, Noah Burke, who seems determined that she embraces what could be instead of what has been.

Drunkenly hooking up with his best friend’s ex, Reagan, is a mistake, but being secretly in love with her is so much worse when things seem one-sided. A disenchanted frat boy about to fail out of college, Noah has been living out someone else’s dream after a horrible accident five years earlier. Just when he thinks he’s lost any chance he has with Reagan, she surprises him by agreeing to spend the summer together at his family’s ranch in Montana.

And suddenly what started out as a complication between them becomes serious...until the past starts ripping apart their future.

Top Five Songs that inspired ANYTHING MORE THAN NOW:


Music is an important part of my writing process. I love combing through photos on Pinterest and putting together a mood board for each project, but there’s something about listening to playlists that helps me uncover between the lines of my plot points. I listen to the same songs for months as I write and revise, giving me a sense of the book’s world and mood. There are other songs that help fuel scenes, and yet others who give me a peek at who a character really is. I may write the books, but the music I listen to makes completes them.

This has always been my process. When I wrote my very first book back I high school (and I’m dating myself here), I used to make CDs with songs I’d hear and record on tape on the radio. I had lists of song titles that I’d stumble upon tucked into my coat, my jeans, and my school binders. Thankfully, Spotify makes this process much easier now.

I have two playlists for each book. The first is just labeled with the hero and heroines name. It’s the big picture. I include hours and hours of songs I find while I’m pre-plotting, drafting, and revising. It’s a long and messy list. Once the book is written and it’s been through developmental edits, revisions, and copy edits, I start a second playlist that is the “soundtrack” of my book.It’s a shorter and more concise picture of the story. And for the most part, it flows witheach chapter.

So here are five songs that made the final cut on that second list:
  
1)      Cool Kids by Echosmith
https://open.spotify.com/track/13P5rwmk2EsoFRIz9UCeh9

This is the song that started it all. I fell in love with it while I was writing BETWEEN EVERYTHING AND US and automatically thought of Reagan. She’s so cold and distant in that story that this song really helped me understand her character better. She wants so badly to be included in the rites of passage of senior year at Sutton during ANYTHING MORE THAN NOW, and this song fits her longing perfectly to be “like the cool kids,” even if she won’t admit it out loud.

2)      Left Hand Free by alt-J
https://open.spotify.com/track/4NwJWJ7rIZBnv8TwNRhGG2

When I started drafting ANYTHING MORE THAN NOW I didn’t know much about Noah other than he had been in love with Reagan since his freshman year (and was forced to love her from a distance while she dated his best friend). When I heard this song, his swagger totally clicked. Noah is definitely more bark than bite, and is a closeted romantic, but he also fits the addictive sexiness of this song as well.

3)      First by Cold War Kids
https://open.spotify.com/track/0aGSUNleFqs5HNEJcwqvXJ

My #2 pick might have been about Noah’s swagger, but this song helped me channel his struggle to come to terms with everything that’s gone wrong in his life. I listened to this a lot while writing the scene where he finds Reagan in his bedroom during a frat party. And again when he goes to Montana and has to bring Isla home.
  
4)      If It’s The Beaches by The Avett Brothers
https://open.spotify.com/track/7wlGbbKLs8agpG3SvoSLQy

Man, this song. This was on loop for so much of the last half of this book. It’s so honest about fighting for love. It fits Noah and Reagan so well. If a part of ANYTHING MORE THAN NOW makes you cry, this song is responsible. It fueled those words.

5)      Rivers and Roads by The Head and the Heart
https://open.spotify.com/track/4Q6Kuze3wNMQRjamyBjHUR
If there is a song that embraces graduating from college and moving on, it’s this one. So much of this story is about finding your own way after everyone leaves and embracing your mistakes. I listened to it A LOT while drafting and revising.

I don’t have an official blurb out for SOMETHING BETTER THAN THIS which will be out later this year, but here’s a sneak peek at a few songs that are on that playlist:

1)      You Don’t Own Me by Grace and G-Easy
https://open.spotify.com/track/2CpH1L4CUR47RARB3PgY1l

2)      Heavy Crown by Iggy Azalea and Ellie Goulding
https://open.spotify.com/track/1FO03aL21QcvllpoCMN4kM

3)      Moments by Tove Lo
https://open.spotify.com/track/3f2jTceMr6Arp6zDWXVbZN

Release Day - Into the Fire by E.L Todd + Teasers



Synopsis:

Ash 

Despite everything I've done for my parents, I'll never be good enough for them. Instead of seeing a man to be proud of, they just see an embarrassment. I served four tours in Afghanistan but that doesn't mean anything to them. They only see the ink, the party life, and my short stint in jail.

And nothing else.

When they were in trouble, I handed over my life savings. I didn't think twice about it because they're my family, my blood. They raised me to be my own man and gave me everything I needed. It didn't matter that it was every penny I had. It didn't matter that the money was set aside for my future. My dreams.

Because they needed me.

But now they refuse to pay me back until I become the man they think I should be.

Alessandra 

I have an unusual professional.

I escort men, acting as their date to family functions or work parties. It's my job to act deeply in love with my client. And I always nail it.

But it's not what you think.
I'm not a prostitute.
I'm not a call girl.
I'm an actress.
Get it right.

There are strict rules when it comes to my profession. There is no touching, kissing, or anything but hand-holding. Those who choose not to comply will get a swift kick in the nuts.

But all this goes to hell when Ash walks into my life.

Cover Reveal - BROKEN LOVE (Love Stings #1) by Evan Grace



BROKEN LOVE (Love Stings #1) by Evan Grace
Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance

SYNOPSIS: 

As a young woman, Abby Carmichael had it all—until the night a stranger tore it away…A year and half after the brutal sexual assault, Abby is finally starting to feel like her old self. Teaching dance classes with enthusiastic kids is just the kind of job she needs—far away from probing eyes or vicious intentions of the opposite sex. When she connects with one of her students, Natalie, it isn’t long until she meets her father, Deputy Ben James.

Ben James is just a regular guy, working to make a life for himself and his daughter…

That’s what Abby tells herself when her sudden attraction for Ben catches her off guard. Abby has been steering clear of men for obvious reasons, and the idea of wanting that kind of relationship is more terrifying than intriguing. But with his doe-eyed daughter tugging at her dance uniform, Ben takes notice.

He’s ready for love, but does her past hold too many secrets? 

After the assault, Abby coped by using heavy medication and fell into an ugly chain of one-night stands. But now that she’s out of rehab and finally on the right track, it’s only a matter of time before Ben finds out.

Will Abby be the true love Ben has always wanted? Or is she a tangled challenge, leading to yet another…
Broken Love?
