SEX BOMB
Nicole Austin

MILITARY BLUES
Elizabeth Lapthorne
Luke is struggling to recover from a career shattering IED blast that sees him permanently discharged. Milly's career self-destructed and she's moved cities in the hopes of starting again. Can this new life and new relationship be a second chance for them both?

The Forgotten Brotherhood is Back!

 The Forgotten Brotherhood is back with the latest book in the series BJORN CURSED!

 

Who are the Forgotten Brotherhood? They’re a group of paranormal assassins, the misfits that other paranormal creatures fear. They aren’t the monsters lurking under the bed. They’re the ones that kill them.

 

They live by a strict code: Kill only those that truly deserve it and let their gods sort them out. Kill them before they kill you. Never, ever betray a fellow assassin.

 

 

Bjorn Cursed

Forgotten Brotherhood, Book 4

 

Lucifer is up to his old tricks, causing problems for the Forgotten Brotherhood. This time, he’s had a woman removed from the Norse afterlife and placed her right in the path of Bjorn Knutson. After the slaughter of his wife and family centuries ago, tortured and broken, Bjorn was cursed as the first Norse werewolf. Now he’s been tasked by Odin himself with killing the woman who escaped. Failure is not an option.

 

Before he can track her, he stumbles across a woman being accosted by three men in the middle of the night. Even though she’s human, he intervenes and is shocked to recognize the face of the one woman he could never kill — his wife Anja.

 

She’s also the one he’s hunting…and if he doesn’t kill her then both their lives are at stake.

 

TEASER:

 

As hard as she wanted to believe it had been nothing more than a trick of her eyes, she knew better. Claws had erupted from the tips of her husband’s fingers. Fangs had appeared in his mouth.

 

He cast her worried glances, his hands gripping the wheel so tight his knuckles were white. Outwardly, Bjorn looked the same as he always had—big and tough and dangerous, a warrior in heart and soul. Sure, the lines were a bit deeper around the corners of his eyes, the expression in them more haunted, harder, but that was to be expected over time.

 

“What are you?” It was cowardly to keep her attention anywhere and everywhere but on him, so she swiveled in her seat. Tension radiated from his big body. His shoulders were rigid, his lips pursed into a hard line.

 

She wanted to run her fingers through his hair, stroke his face until all the worry bled away. Instead, she twined them together in her lap.

 

“I’m the man you married.”

 

“You’re not the same.”

 

“Neither are you.”

IVAR'S ESCAPE Releases Today

 IVAR'S ESCAPE, book 2 in the Assassins of Gravas series by N.J. Walters, is out TODAY!

Ivar’s Escape

Assassins of Gravas, Book 2

 

Ivar el Gravaso—a prince of Gravas—wakes in a prison cell with no idea how he got there or even who he is. If his captor can’t get answers from Ivar, his days are numbered. When a strange woman sneaks into the prison and promises to get him out, he’s suspicious. Is this nothing more than another trick by his captor or is she truly there to help?

Delphi is an assassin sent by the Gravasian government to infiltrate the space pirate stronghold of Tortuga in search of the missing prince. She finds a prisoner who is well-spoken, knowledgeable, and ready to fight, even though he has no idea who he is. He might be her target. It’s difficult to tell due to his ragged appearance. But no way can she leave him behind, no matter who he is.

 

TEASER:

She struck the match and touched the flame to the wick.

He exploded from the pallet and lunged. She scrambled away, her back hitting the cell door behind her. Shit, he was fast. If it hadn’t been for her training, he’d have his hands around her neck right now.

Miraculously, the light hadn’t gone out. The candle was on its side. The large male grabbed it and pulled it inside, giving her a good look at him.

His hair was long and dark and matted. An unkempt beard covered the lower half of his face. His clothes were in tatters, his feet bare. His eyes were golden brown, like a coywolf she’d seen a picture of once, and just as feral. A barely healed scar ran down the left side of his face, starting at his temple and disappearing into his beard.

She held up her hands to show him she was unarmed. “I’m not here to hurt you.” It was only dumb luck that she hadn’t rattled the steel doors when she’d hit them and possibly woken the guard. He’d been drinking, but it might not be enough for him to pass out.

Still in a crouch, the prisoner studied her. He’d see the image she wanted to project—a teenage boy with a pockmarked face. Disguises were part of an assassin’s bag of tricks, and this was her specialty.

“What’s your name?” Given his appearance, it was hard to tell if it was her target. He’d lost weight and was totally disheveled and dirty. It was doubtful his own mother would recognize him in a fully lit room, let alone by dim candlelight.

He swallowed heavily, his throat rippling. His fingers tightened around the stub of candle. He opened his mouth, closed it, and tried again. “I don’t know.” His breath hit the flame directly, blowing it out and plunging them into darkness.

BURNING ASH by N.J. Walters

BURNING ASH by N.J. Walters is out today. This is the third book in the Forgotten Brotherhood series.

Burning Ash

Forgotten Brotherhood, Book 3

No one is more surprised than Asher, one of the oldest vampires on Earth, that he's attracted to vamp hunter Jo Radcliffe. She's smart, a talented slayer, and she's gorgeous. Something about her pulls at him, like no one ever has before. For a man, whose name strikes fear in everyone––this is something new and intriguing. And quite possibly deadly, if she discovers his secret.

Jo has two things in common with the handsome Asher––they are both slayers and someone is messing with them in a very-much-trying-to-kill-them way. She's not so happy about joining forces with a dude she doesn't know. But he's sexy as hell and really good at his job as one of the Forgotten Brotherhood, whose business it is to execute misbehaving paranormals.

She knows she's bait in a larger plot to harm Asher and the Brotherhood. And there is nothing he won't do, no line he won't cross, to keep her safe––which may be the weakness that destroys them both.

TEASER:

He stuck his big foot in the doorway, to keep her from slamming it in his face. “I’m sorry if I scared you.”

She gave a snort of derision as she tossed the bag on the sofa and faced him, defiance in every line of her body. “Takes more than that to scare me. Well, you coming? You’re no vampire. Not like you need an invitation.”

If she only knew.

SPEAR'S SEARCH by N.J. Walters

If you’ve read the Marks Mercenaries series, you might remember that Vaden el Gravaso, the hero from Salvaging Abby is from Gravas, a highly secretive world with advanced technology and a kickass military. Oh, and their assassins are the best in the known universe. Spear el Gravaso is Vaden’s older brother. This prince of Gravas is also one of their elite assassins. But he might have just met his match with Sass.

Spear’s Search

Assassins of Gravas, Book 1

Spear el Gravaso—prince of Gravas and assassin—is on a mission to find his brother. His hunt had led him to an auction of Gravasian weapons that can only belong to the missing man. He needs to secure the items, get any information he can, and kill all those involved. Nothing and no one will stop him.

Sass was taken from a harsh life on the streets as a child and trained to be an assassin by the powerful Artemis. The lives of those she loves is on the line if she fails her mission—to win the auction of Gravasian tech. Only one problem—Spear is in her way.

Their battle escalates, as does the explosive heat between them. When it comes down to it, they can fight each other and one of them will die or they can join forces. But can they trust each other?

EXCERPT:

“Wait.” The woman was right behind him when he stepped onto the passageway in front of the bar. “Why did you do that?”

“Do what?”

“All of it?”

When he whirled around, she took a hasty step back. “Let’s see. I bought the information because I needed it. I paid for it because I owed you for Oasis. I knocked you out on Oasis because I didn’t want to kill you. And I kissed you because I wanted to. Does that cover everything?”

His voice got lower with each word he spoke until the last was a harsh whisper. Most people yelled when angry. He grew quieter. Taking a deep breath, he pulled back his emotion. He was close to the edge. It was usually easy to remain detached on a mission, but this one hit way too close to home.

Most people would have fled in the face of his anger, but not her. “Yes. No. What’s your name, anyway? I’ve been calling you ‘the bastard’ in my head but that’s probably not what your friends call you.”

His lips twitched. “You’d be surprised. I’m Spear.” He never gave anyone his real name while on an assignment, but he wanted to hear her say it. “And you are?”

“Sass.”

“Sass?” An unusual name. Then he frowned. “Short for assassin. That’s cheating.” The lie made his gut twist. He’d expected better from her. They were competitors, but they’d shown each other professional respect.

“Real name.” She raised her right hand. “Swear to, well, whatever god or goddess you swear to. If I ever had a real name, I lost that memory a long time ago. My name is Assassin, Sass to my friends.”

“Are we friends?” Why wasn’t he rushing back to his ship and setting course to Oasis? Most ships might not be able to make it in time but his could. The small personal vessel was loaded with the latest in Gravasian technology, including boosters that would allow him to make the auction.

“Depends.” Dressed all in black leather from head to toe, she looked tough. Her hair was black as night and cut short, framing a thin face with high cheekbones and a slightly pointed chin. Her eyes were as blue as sapphires. She was long and lean, sleekly muscled. And he’d counted at least six hidden blades and a garrote that doubled as a bracelet. There was likely more.

Lust exploded inside him with the force of a laser cannon. His cock hardened and his blood heated.

He wanted her.

Women were either scared to death of him or welcomed him because of his royal birth. None of them ever met his gaze as squarely or treated him like an equal.

Sass was indeed a rarity.

“On what?” he asked.

“If you can get me to Oasis in time for the auction.”

Sex Bomb by Nicole Austin

Sex Bomb
by Nicole Austin

Contemporary Military Romance / Action / Suspense

From first sight I knew Marine Lieutenant Harlie Savage wasn’t fragile like a flower—she was fragile like a bomb. Definitely not some princess who needed to be saved, either. She was a queen who only lacked a sword, and I vowed to be her weapon.

"So hot I blasted through reading it. I loved it! Need more like this one. 5 out of 5 stars!!!!" Robin R. Cripps - Amazon Reviews

Excerpt:

Copyright © Nicole Austin, 2019
Chapter One

Central American Jungle

HARLIE

Soaring across azure skies, riding the ebb and flow of thermals, skimming the tops of towering trees before dropping to skip over the shimmery surface of a lake, all with my favorite playlist blaring.

I love my job!

Every shade of green and brown imaginable blurred together as I zoomed past, rotors creating a wave of motion through the dense vegetation in my wake. The lush, diverse jungle formed an incredible backdrop that I took the time to appreciate on a daily basis. I considered myself blessed to have beheld such beauty.

For me, nothing else came close to the thrill of flying. When in my helo the constant noise in my head was silenced, all the tension and stress left my body and I found peace. Just Lola and me moving as one in complete harmony, defying gravity, and at times breaking the laws of physics.

In less than twenty hours I’d be headed stateside to become a civilian after ten years of service and I wasn’t sure how I felt about that or what came next. For the most part, I avoided feelings of any kind. I’d had them before and knew they lead to pain and agony. In my experience, staying detached was best.

Being a Marine had given me everything I’d sought—a strong sense of self, strength, confidence, and independence. I’d grown. Matured. Licked my childhood wounds, come to terms with the past, and for the most part, moved on.

Sure, a couple of ghosts still haunted me. I recognized them for what they were—stark reminders to never allow anyone to get too close or become too important to me.

But none of it mattered then. For one last day I was a Lieutenant in the Marines. And the Captain, bless him, had given me a sweet cake run of a last mission. Essentially a taxi job delivering a black ops asset, shrouded by a heavy cloak of secrecy and need-to-know, back to base.

Viper.

The word alone held power. It sparked a sensual chill that skated along my spine, heated my blood, and snapped nerve ending to tingling awareness. I didn’t know his real name or anything about his life, only the code name and the way he made my body tremble, burn and detonate.

Viper was the ultimate strong, silent type. I’d known him for a year and we’d rarely spoken a word that wasn’t involved with sex. The perfect man for my needs—all sexual gratification and no messy strings or emotions.

Yes, please.

On the rare occasion I got Viper in my helo, I put Lola through her paces in an attempt to shake Mr. Tall, Dark and Deadly’s legendary calm and control. Sadly, I’d never succeeded. The man had nerves of steel. I haven’t elicited a single sound from him, much to my chagrin. And this final flight as a Marine was my last chance.

Time to pull out the big guns.

Threading the needle along a narrow riverbed lined with thick tree growth, I zoomed straight toward a sheer rock-faced waterfall. Waiting until the last possible second, with terrain warnings blaring, I pulled up hard and made a nearly vertical climb up the falls, skids cutting through the water, a huge anticipatory grin stretching my lips. The maneuver never failed to win at least a gasp, if not a few curses, out of my passengers.

Not a peep rose from behind me.

Damn that man!

Color me impressed. And considering the number of testosterone overloaded badasses I’d dealt with during my military career it took a lot to impress me. Even more for me to notice a man’s looks, and I have to admit, Viper is smokin’ hot. Super tall, probably six-three or four, with thick brown hair, and steel gray eyes. His black T-shirt molded beautifully to a ripped torso, and fuck if those cargo pants weren’t lovingly cupping one hell of a fabulous ass.

Yes, I admit it. I’m a total ass girl. There’s nothing better than sinking my fingers into a spectacular pair of glutes while being pounded hard. Yet his unflappable, cool demeanor was what really did it for me, hence the reason I had to snap that control and make him break. Then I’d be able to leave without so much as a backward glance.

My one unbreakable rule, the line I’d vowed to never cross, was fucking anyone from my current duty station. Time and again I bore witness to that situation going bad and I absolutely despised drama. Especially relationship drama. The last thing I needed were thoughts of a man I’d fucked interfering with my focus during a mission.

Since Viper wasn’t assigned to my base or part of my medivac missions and remained drama free, he was perfect for scratching that insatiable itch. With him, I got the bliss of his big cock fucking me ten ways to Sunday and absolutely no entanglements. I doubted he even knew I’d be leaving in the morning.

A sharp pang of regret momentarily fisted my heart. If we were together in a different situation, I could fall skids over rotor for him.
