Launch Week Blitz,Spotlight, Excerpt & Giveaway: See You at Sunset by V. K. Sykes

About SEE YOU AT SUNSET (Seashell Bay 3) All Holly Tyler wants is a fantastic career, a not-too-committed relationship, and a city where there are no painful memories. Instead, she's called back to her hometown of Seashell Bay to help with her family's struggling general store. It's a town where everyone knows everyone, and where one man could sink Holly's careful plans. Deputy Sheriff Micah Lancaster has wanted Holly for as long as he can remember. He knows she has a life on the mainland-and a boyfriend-and that there's no real future with her. But now Holly is back and the attraction still flickers between them, a promise of something more. Their desire is stronger than any undertow . . . and once it pulls them under, it won't let go. Amazon     B&N     iTunes     Kobo Excerpt She opened her arms, waiting for Micah to give her one of his usual friendly hugs. But she got something quite a bit different. He swept her into his embrace and held her tight against his brawny chest, one of his hands spread dangerously low, fingers brushing her butt, while the other hand stroked slowly down her spine. “We were damn good together tonight, weren’t we?” His voice was a low rumble that made her shiver. “At shuffleboard, I mean.” Oh. My. God. He wasn’t just talking about shuffleboard. And Lord above, did he feel good wrapped around her. Better than good—it felt like what she’d been wanting for a long time. If he tried to kiss her now, Holly wasn’t sure she could resist. And that would lead to some very bad things, especially given his clear state of arousal. She stretched up and gave his bristly cheek the briefest of pecks. “We were the best,” she whispered. Then she wriggled a little to let Micah know she needed to break away. She felt a sigh move through his body before he let her go. “I’ll be thinking about that,” he said. Then he turned and strode down the steps to his cruiser. “We were the best,” she whispered. Then she wriggled a little to let Micah know she needed to break away. She felt a sigh move through his body before he let her go. “I’ll be thinking about that,” he said. Then he turned and strode down the steps to his cruiser. Holly shut and locked the door. She sagged against it as she sucked in an unsteady breath. She would be thinking about it too, probably all night. About Summer at the Shore (Seashell Bay 2) JUST A SUMMER FLING?

Launch Week Blitz,Excerpt & Giveaway: Double Trouble by Lori Wilde

About DOUBLE TROUBLE Two Lori Wilde romances together for the first time in print! CHARMED AND DANGEROUS When her thrill-seeking twin sister goes missing, Maddie Cooper must come to her rescue-which means teaming up with irritating, arrogant, and altogether way too sexy FBI agent David Marshall. David isn't one to get easily distracted but his new self-proclaimed partner has him completely sidetracked with her delectable curves and knockout smile. His first priority: follow the leads in the case. Then he can go about the all-too-enjoyable task of following his heart . . .  Excerpt from Charmed and Dangerous The air in the room seemed miserably hot even though he’d twisted up the controls on the air conditioner when he’d walked in. Or maybe it was the heat of his blood rushing through his veins. “Nobody likes being intimidated.” “Don’t be so sure of that. Ever heard of a submissive?” “I’m not a submissive,” she denied. “Far from it.” “You sure? You entered a man’s room while he was getting undressed.” “That doesn’t make me submissive. If anything, I’d say I was dominant.” “You dominating me?” The notion was so foreign, so utterly ridiculous that David burst out laughing. His derision incensed her. She stabbed an index finger in his direction. “Maybe you’re the one who’s longing to be submissive.” “Oh yeah?” Swiftly he covered the remaining distance between them. She backpedaled until she ran smack dab into the wall. David grabbed both her wrists, pinned her hands above her head and swiftly shoved one knee between her legs, completely hemming her in with no way out. “This look like submissive to you, darlin’?” he growled. They were both breathing hard, their lips almost touching. “For your information I’m a third degree black belt in karate,” she said. “Bring it on. I’m fifth degree.” “You don’t threaten me.” She gulped, belying her own bravado. He saw the column of her throat muscles pump hard and he knew he’d succeeded in intimidating her, but still she held her ground. She might be scared, but she was too damned proud to run away. MISSION: IRRESISTIBLE PR specialist Cassie Cooper loves the adrenaline rush of a well-planned party. And a masquerade ball at the museum is her best yet. But when a legendary amulet is stolen practically from under her nose, she needs the help of her nemesis, archaeologist Harrison Standish. No-nonsense Harrison has all the intensity of Indiana Jones. Though just when he needs his full attention on their mission, he's having the damnedest time keeping his mind-and his hands-off Cassie . . . Amazon: http://amzn.to/1rTIWNv B&N: http://bit.ly/1FPwwsw BAM!: http://bit.ly/12vZf7J Excerpt from Mission: Irresistible “Harry?” “Uh‑huh?” He hesitated. “Take this with you.” “Wha—” But that was as far as he got because Cassie unsnapped her seat belt, leaned across the console, and planted a kiss on his scarred cheek. He was so startled that he jerked his head toward her, and her mouth slipped from his cheek to his lips. The next thing he knew he was kissing her. Full on. It was hot and wet and moving. For one endless second Harrison forgot about the Ford Focus parked behind him. He forgot about the Minoan hieroglyphics. He forgot about Solen and Kiya. He forgot about the amulet. He even forgot about Adam. Whereas before there was danger, now there was nothing but pleasure. His full attention was focused on one thing and one thing alone. Cassie Cooper’s mouth. Lush and full and ripe and sweet. She tasted of summer. Throbbing and heated and humid. Filled with life and intensity and drama. He remembered swimming pools and lounging on the beach, smelled chlorine and suntan lotion. He thought of the Fourth of July, heard bottle rockets scream and Black Cats explode. He saw fireflies flickering through pecan trees, and he spied charcoal embers glowing white-hot in the bottom of a barbecue grill. It all added up to a glorious wow.
