Solemn Vow by Measha Stone

Solemn Vow by Measha Stone is now live!

She's being blackmailed. 

And she's lying about it. 

Ordinarily, I'd turn a blind eye. But it's her. And I won't let any darkness touch her. 

I give her chance after chance to come clean and accept my protection, but she resists me at every turn. 

Her relentless defiance only intensifies my insatiable hunger for her. 

As a Russian mafia crime boss, I don't accept disobedience. It's a lesson she's going to learn again and again until she accepts her fate. 

I make this my solemn vow. 

I will make her mine.

The Zarkov Bratva Duet

Author: Penny Dee

Genre: Russian Mafia Romance

Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Fake Relationship

Forced Proximity

Release Date: April 18, 2024

BRATVA LULLABY

I’m fake dating the boss of the Zarkov Bratva—what could possibly go wrong?

Lev Zarkov is a real-life monster.

No, correction, he’s actually the devil.

Except, when I first meet him, he’s simply the mysterious, handsome man traveling next to me on a first-class flight to New York.

And after being dumped at the altar by my loser fiancé who vanished into thin air the morning of our wedding, when things get flirty between me and the mysterious stranger, I think, why not?

Surely, I deserve one night to forget. I mean, where’s the harm in a little indulgence, right?

I’ll tell you exactly where the harm is. It turns out my one-night stand is not only the pakhan of the Zarkov Bratva, but he’s also a billionaire who is used to getting what he wants… and what he wants is me with his ring on my finger.

I’m to appear in public as his fake fiancée, and in return, my loser ex will get to keep his brains inside his head.

Every instinct tells me I don’t want to do this.

But Lev Zarkov can be very persuasive…

Bratva Lullaby is book one in the Zarkov Bratva duet. Brooke and Lev’s story concludes in book two, Midnight Poison.

MIDNIGHT POISON

He took me as collateral to insure my ex-fiancé kept the deal they made.

But since then, Lev Zarkov has become so much more than the devil I thought he was.

And now his baby is growing in my belly.

I don’t want to leave him, but after one devastating night blows up our life, I know I have my baby to think about.

I tell myself that leaving is the right thing to do. But waking up without Lev in the middle of the night is pure midnight poison.

I miss his touch. His smell. The warm, comforting way he would hold me in his arms and let me know how much he wanted me.

But that isn’t the man who comes after me.

He’s angry. He’s formidable. He’s hurt.

And now that he’s found me, he’s going to make me pay for breaking his heart.

But there is a danger lurking in the shadows.

And we’ll have to put our differences aside long enough to fight the invisible threat that could destroy everything.

Midnight Poison is book two in the Zarkov duet and concludes Brooke & Lev’s story.

Bratva Lullaby by Penny Dee is the First book in the Zarkov Bratva Duet.  This starts the story of Lev Zarkov and Brooke Masters. Brooke was set to marry Wilson but he left her at the altar.  So instead of swallowing in self pity she goes on a trip to New York which leads her to a one night stand with Lev.  Lev in the new Pakhan of the New York Bratva.  Which isn't make everyone happy.  So when he ends up seeing Brooke again he takes her and tries to talk her into a deal.  This book does set us up for the next installment. 

Midnight Poison by Penny Dee is book Two in the Zarkov Bratva Duet.  This continues the story of Lev Zarkov and Brooke Masters.  Their story started in Bratva Lullaby.  So, you will need to read that to full enjoy this one.   This book does pick up right where we left off.  Lev and Brooke has found that something else is coming after them and their happiness.  This was an exciting duet. I hope to read more from this author soon.

The Billionaire and the Runaway by SE Rose

 

THE BILLIONAIRE AND THE RUNAWAY

S.E. Rose

Release Date: April 18

A wealthy college graduate who needs to escape her boring life. A small-town farmer who needs some help. And a job offer that will change everything.

Ariana Titan hates her life. She has everything but doesn't want any of it. Her wealthy father controls every aspect of her days. Her apartment is starting to feel like a prison cell. She longs to run away to the countryside like in the movies she watches at night. When her father's girlfriend mentions a job posting for a social media marketing manager at a small town farm, she decides to apply…in person. She maybe fails to tell her father exactly where she's gone.

Eric Windsor's farm needs a marketing makeover. He knows business but social media and online marketing are not his strong suits. He needs help and he needs it yesterday. When a young woman shows up at his property with a mile-long list of references and an impressive degree from a fancy university, he hires her on the spot. He soon figures out that his new employee is not only a fish out of water in his coastal town, but she also has the uncanny ability to bring a smile to his face, something that hasn't happened in a long time.

Can Ariana stay afloat while grappling with her past amid a sea of marketing chaos, her overbearing father, and her new overprotective boss? While she fights to swim instead of sink, one burning question remains in her mind: will her mysterious farmer employer be part of her future?

Meet J.A. Owenby

International bestselling author J.A. Owenby grew up in a small backwoods town in Arkansas where she learned how to swear like a sailor and spot water moccasins skimming across the lake.

She finally ditched the south and headed to Oregon. The first winter there, she was literally blown away a few times by ninety mile an hour winds and storms that rolled in off the ocean.

Eventually, she longed for quiet and headed up to snowier pastures. She now resides in Washington state with her hot nerdy husband and cat, Chloe (who frequently encourages her to drink). She spends her days coming up with ways to torture characters in a way that either makes you want to throw your book down a flight of stairs or sob hysterically into a pillow.

J.A. Owenby writes new adult and romantic thriller novels. Her books ooze with emotion, angst, and twists that will leave you breathless. Having battled her own demons, she's not afraid to tackle the secrets women are forced to hide. After all, the road to love is paved in the dark.

Her friends describe her as delightfully twisted. She loves fan mail and wine. Please send her all the wine.

OFFICE MATE by Rachel Van Dyken

 

OFFICE MATE

Rachel Van Dyken

Release Date: April 16

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a standalone office RomCom about what happens when the one you walked away from was now not only your boss but also your new partner in a high-stakes office game...

I liked to think things happened in threes:
1. My girlfriend ghosted me and changed her number.
2. I got promoted, but I worked for Satan.
3. Months later, said girlfriend was back in my life, working underneath me as an intern.

Ah, the universe had jokes, ha, ha, hilarious.

All I had to do was survive the fourth annual Emory Games, a ridiculous office bonding game that Max Emory, our CEO, put on every year to help boost company morale and encourage the new interns.
Yeah, just ask me if they felt encouraged after diving into shark-infested waters. Don't worry... only one person got hurt, and the accidental death paperwork was sound.
I had to work with her as my partner for a full week, and then I could bounce back to my department, pretend that she hadn't broken my heart, and run me over with my own truck for good measure.

I should have been focused on the games, except again, things happened in threes...
1. She's my partner.
2. She's hiding something.
3. I may have fallen on her and kissed her. It's a thing, it actually happens in real life—people just fall, and mouths meet, and what are you going to do?

Hi, my name is Ace Harley, and I am two point five seconds away from marching down to HR and begging for therapy.

Being an adult sucks balls.

AUTHOR BIO

Jo McCall writes dark, contemporary and PNR romance. She is an avid reader of anything dark and steamy and when she isn’t writing, you can find her making a rather large dent in her TBR.

She is a lover of strong heroines who find their own and hot, sexy alpha males who might be a tad bit over-possessive. Jo loves to lose herself in her characters and the flaws and darkness that surround them.

There is no shame found here, and she often gets lost when writing out those erotic, steamy scenes that make women’s (and men’s) fantasies come true.

“There is nothing like getting lost in something you know is wrong, but still can’t resist.”

Jo currently resides in the beautiful state of Washington with her two dogs and has dreams of quitting her day job and traveling in a converted van around the states as she writes.
