Series Title: Bittersweet Duet Little Doll (Bittersweet Duet #1) Add to Goodreads Crimson Desert (Bittersweet Duet #2) Add to Goodreads Little Doll (Bittersweet Duet #1) Book One: Little Doll Release Date: August 12, 2014 Add to Goodreads Buy Links: Synopsis Aiden had a plan. One that was operating smoothly until Laila surfaced in his fatherâs mansion. With time against him, he must work night and day to right the wrongs that threaten to expose his ultimate betrayal. Juan and Aiden share many differences, but the one thing that threatens to tear their family apart is the one thing they want to claim as their own, no matter what the costs. This series continues with Part Two: Crimson Desert (Bittersweet Duet) WARNING: This book contains violence, and sexual themes. Intended for readers 18+ Excerpt Little Doll âPlease donât let him come near me again,â I sobbed, sitting forward. I knew it sounded like I was pleading and I was at peace with that. Maybe he could be further swayed into helping me. âIf I had stayed, he would not have laid a finger on you to begin with and he knows it.â There was sincerity in his words as his eyes met mine. âLike I said, it wonât happen again.â Aiden reached over to the basin and grabbed a washcloth. Submerging it into the bath, he wrung out the excess water and, cupping my chin, gently wiped the tears and mascara from my cheeks. I closed my eyes and allowed the heavenly warm water to caress my skin. I relished Aidenâs soft hands that made me want to melt into them and his breath sweet on my face. Perhaps the stark comparison between the touch of both men was playing tricks on my mind. My eyes shot open to find him staring intently back, a faint frown marring his features. Our faces were no more than eight inches apart and an unfamiliar magnetic pull existed between us. Aiden cleared his throat and pulled his eyes away from mine, a sense of discomfort settling between us. âHas there been any news about my brother?â I asked, aiming to be more professional in this game of kidnapping while struggling to ignore the vibes between us. Aidenâs head snapped to face mine, this time I knew the look of reproach was directed at me. I watched, feeling slightly reprimanded as he tossed the washcloth on the tub edge and turned to the towel rack to dry his hands. âI have to go,â he said coldly, his tone a stark contrast from moments earlier. It felt like a slap in the face from a man I was beginning to place my trust in. It was a foolish notion. I was the fool.

Giving up was never an option for JUAN. Not even now when everything had changed. He lived and breathed the thrill of the chase and this time the end prize was too great to lose. This is a dark story where the taste for love and revenge clash in the most unforgiving ways. WARNING: This book contains violence, and sexual themes. Intended for readers 18+ Excerpt Crimson Desert âWe are only a few men against hundreds who are happy to see us all die, even though they have never met us. They have never even met Hector or Juan, yet they would do almost anything for them. Itâs hard to compete against that. All things considered, we have done well to stay alive.â Danny was right and I had only made it harder for Aiden to look out for me. âSo what happens next?â âWhat did Juan say to you when we were shooting at him?â âThat he would come back for me. That I belonged to him and that he would be watching everything I do.â âDo you believe him?â âYes.â âWhy?â âCos he has done well so far.â Danny looked to window lost in contemplation. âWe go after him.â âWhat? Thatâs crazy.â He looked back to me, not a hint of humor in his chocolate brown eyes. âNot crazy. Itâs survival. We canât keep running forever. The whole goal was to keep you safe and out of harmâs way, then go back for the kill.â âKill?â This had never been mentioned before. âAiden wants Juanâs blood and he will stop at nothing.â Crimson Desert- Teasers ******************************** About the Author A recent bloomer in the writing world, Melissa Jane has delved into a complex world where light and dark clash in unforgivable ways.

She’s suffered the loss of loved ones as well as a kidnapping, and now her family thinks she is dead. Abandoned in the middle of New Mexico with crazy werewolves chasing after her, she can only trust her companion, Vincent McKinley. As they strain to survive the wilderness and evade their assailants, Sarah finds herself unexpectedly bonding with Vincent. He is kind and caring and Sarah can see them forming something far greater than friendship. But she has lost so many loved ones in the past; it terrifies her to open her heart to anyone else. Vincent McKinley has sworn to protect Sarah with his life, but their pursuers seem hell bent on making him break his word. Determined to keep his promise, Vincent goes to extreme lengths to keep Sarah safe. Together, they work side-by-side to devise a plan that will stop their enemies for good. As tensions mount, so do their feelings for each other. Will they get the chance to explore their emotions, or will their enemies catch up to them first?Sneak PeekSarah snuggled further into the warm pillows, enjoying the heat of the heavy quilts. A steady thrum thumped beneath her ear. The sound was soothing, but she couldn’t quite place what it was. She moved her arm to hook it under her pillow. Her digits froze as they skimmed over a fleshy, hard plain. Sarah jolted up, throwing the covers back. The cool morning chill took her breath away. She wrapped her arms around herself and peered down at Vincent. He lay sleeping, his chest rising and falling in even breaths. A few scars were scattered over his pecks, but, instead of taking away from his muscular torso, it made it more defined. He had a definitive six-pack and a small patch of dark hair trailed from his belly button and into the plaid pants he was wearing. Wait! What? Why am I looking at him like that? Averting her eyes, she surveyed the room. The bed was against the wall on her side, and the foot of the bed was positioned against the wall as well. If she wanted out, she would have to crawl over Vincent. Great! Sarah bit her lip, and ran a hand through her gnarled golden locks. Vincent rolled toward her, and his arm jutted out, wrapping around her hips as he buried his face into her side. Sarah froze, her breath catching in her throat. Oh my god! What is he doing? “Stop stealing all the covers,” he murmured. Sarah’s pulse roared in her ears as she sat unmoving. After a long moment, she heard the quiet whistling of Vincent’s snore. He was asleep. Carefully, she placed her hand over his, slowly lifting his fingers so she could wiggle out of his grasp. Once free, she stood up on her side, set his arm on the bed, and tossed the covers back over him. She inhaled sharply and closed her eyes. Praying that he wouldn’t wake up, Sarah skimmed her foot over the covers, placing it on the other side of Vincent. Sarah lifted her other foot. She was almost there she just needed to get down. A part of her wanted to stay in bed and go back to sleep in his comforting embrace. But the other part, found it unnerving that she had slept like that with him at all. Vincent's hand shot out from under the blankets, catching her ankle in midair. A scream bubbled up her throat as she lost her balance. She landed on Vincent’s lap. His hand latched onto her hip as he rose up. She screeched as he rolled her to her back, pressing his forearm onto her throat. Sarah gasped and struggled beneath his weight. “Sarah?” Vincent asked confused, instantly moving his arm. He shot up, straddling her as his eyes widened with horror. She closed her eyes as she coughed. “God, I’m sorry. I sensed movement over me. I…” “I was trying to get out of bed. I didn’t want to wake you,” she blurted, staring up into his emerald eyes. “I didn’t even think to check. Did I hurt you?” he asked, his eyes glancing over her. “I’m okay,” she assured. “It could have been someone else.” And it could have been. At least he was prepared and on alert, even when he was resting. Vincent stiffened over her and cleared his throat. Heat crept over her face, burning all the way to her ears as she realized their position. He was nestled between her thighs, his chest pressed against hers with his face mere inches away. “Sorry,” he said as he peeled himself off of her. He got out of bed and walked to the fire, grumbling something under his breath. Vincent picked up the poker and jabbed at the ashes. Sarah lay back into the pillows for a moment. Her body was on fire and butterflies fluttered through her belly. Her body had reacted to him and that scared her. “Our clothes are dry,” Vincent said as he checked the clothesline that hung next to the fire. He slipped his green shirt on. “And we still have berries. Breakfast?” He turned to her with the wooden bowl of fruit in hand. Sarah gulped, her eyes inadvertently dipping down to take in his torso again. Realizing she was checking him out, she snapped her eyes up to his. She needed to get out of this house. “Sounds good. Then let’s go for that walk. You can show me what you found.” Theme SongMy Heart is Open by Maroon 5[spotify id="spotify:track:6l5AAEJhBR9Zku6qgI9Fo2" width="300" height="380" /] Bethany Shaw has lived in Ohio her entire life.

She has no memory of who she is or how she came to be there. She does know that she must get out, at all costs. And that escape must start with remembering the simple things – her own name. Her place of origin. Her possible powers. When a group of dark magicians reveal themselves to be her captors, she finds herself in the clutches of those who will stop at nothing to uncover the secrets locked within her lost memories. With her life fading under their merciless spells, the need to escape becomes dire. But can she get out when she doesn’t even know who she is? Can she count on one unlikely ally for help? Or is it already too late for her, a girl without a name? Tell Me My Name introduces the main characters in Mary’s new fantasy series, Fated Stars, with the first book, Windborn, due in late 2015. Purchase on Amazon: http://amzn.to/Zjgx5F About Mary Fan Mary Fan is a hopeless dreamer, whose mind insists on spinning tales of “what if.” As a music major in college, she told those stories through compositions. Now she tells them through books—a habit she began as soon as she could pick up a pencil. Flynn Nightsider and the Edge of Evil follows a well-received debut novel, a space opera titled Artificial Absolutes (2013), and is the first in the Flynn Nightsider series. Mary would like to think that there are many other novels in her bag, and hopes to prove that to the world as well. Mary lives in New Jersey and has a B.A. from Princeton University. When she’s not scheming to create new worlds, she enjoys kickboxing, opera singing, and blogging about everything having to do with books. Telepaths, torture, mindwipes ... the Institute has it all, and they use each of their brainwashed children as weapons, the way they see fit. To control society, repress its people. To make certain that they stay in power, no matter the cost. Serena’s baby brother Damon is one of those children, and these days he’s so altered that he doesn’t even recognize her. When it comes to getting Damon away from those who kidnapped him, there's nothing Serena won't do. Even if she has to kill him to save him. First, though, she must prove to her father that she has what it takes to be a soldier against the insidious threat of the Institute. Her first mission has to be perfect. But with inaccurate intelligence, unexpected storms, and Gav Belias, people’s hero of the Watch, on the prowl, will she even survive? If she doesn't succeed, they'll never let her go after her brother. And that would be unthinkable, when it was her fault that he was taken in the first place. Slam is Tash McAdam’s first work with Glass House Press, and serves as a prequel to her series The Psionics, with the first book, Maelstrom, due in 2015.
