Book Blast for Devil's Gamble by Michele Arris



Devil’s Gamble- BOOK 2, Tarnished Billionaires Series
by Michele Arris

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Contemporary Romance (steamy)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Sienna Keller saw how men used her mother, and from an early age she swore she’d never allow it to happen to her. So when she meets smooth-talking billionaire Gavin Crane, who uses his connections to help her art career, she resolves to keep things strictly professional—no matter how gorgeous he is.


Gavin might be the son of the head of the Kavanagh organized crime family, but he wants no part of that life. It’s important to him to prove to Sienna that he’s a good guy. But when she winds up in the hospital with a gunshot wound, he is driven to exact revenge. His father agrees to provide security to watch over her as well as find the man who shot her, but at a cost—Gavin must come back into the family business.


As Sienna begins to let her guard down around Gavin, seeing the kind, caring man he’s always wanted her to see, his secrets begin to pile up. Has she done the one thing she vowed never to do—trusted her heart to the wrong man?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Excerpt Two:


“It’s the most beautiful painting I’ve ever seen. You have an amazing gift.”

He slipped into an intense stare, knocking her off guard. He’d never spoken or looked at her like that before, that look of pure warmth, no flirty undertone.

“Thank you. It’s one of my favorites, as well.” She was too startled by his expressed sincerity to maintain her detached, all-business persona. A sudden, irrational yearning washed over her, the desire to want more, share more, but she pushed the feelings down, sealing them under a tightly closed lid. “I’ve made a sketch of the room’s layout and put coordinating numbers in the squares where I’d like the staff to place each piece.” She angled the paper for him to view.

He blinked once, warmth dispersed, cool blue eyes back to normal. “I’ll see that it gets done.”

NBTM: Rock Your Business by Boni Wagner-Stafford



Rock Your Business
by Boni Wagner-Stafford
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Business
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Rock Your Business is a book for those just starting out with a small business... or those considering starting a business. Told from those that have been there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Excerpt Two:
The Freelancing Boom


Freelancing is also now big business. In the United States, 53 million people or 34 per cent of the workforce report doing freelance work. In the U.K., it is estimated that there are 1.4 million freelancers and growing. Across the European Union, the shifting trend of moving from having a job to working directly for clients has shown explosive growth. Independent professionals, or iPros as we call them, represent the only growing segment of the labour market and a significant positive economic force in post-recession Europe.


These iPros represent 25 per cent of the workforce in professional, scientific and technical roles, and 22 per cent of all workers in arts and entertainment.
Standard employment is either unavailable or discarded as an option because of the requirement for conformity and the resultant smothering of creativity. More than a third (37 per cent) of E.U. citizens responding to a survey indicated they prefer to work independently, but they are held back by red tape, perceived lack of funding and skills, and a fear of failure.


In a research study called Future Working: The Rise of Europe’s Independent Professionals, author Patricia Leighton says, “There is a scarcity of support for those starting out as an iPro. The perceived unavailability of relevant and affordable information and advice has resulted in iPros being concerned with their lack of business skills.”


Surveys in both the U.S. and Canada suggest that by 2020 nearly half of the workforce will be comprised of freelancers, temporary, contract and on-call workers. Fifty per cent! When you combine the self-employed, the entrepreneurs who incorporate, and the freelancer or iPro cohort, this represents a significant economic shift.


This means that the majority of the workforce needs – or will soon need – some understanding of how to run a business. Because their livelihood depends on it.

A master of dreams, a failure at life…

After another botched career attempt, Quinn Carmichael escapes to a remote lodge for a weekend recharge, needing respite…especially from the nightmares that haunt even her days. When a wounded, sexy-as-sin stranger faceplants unconscious on her kitchen floor, there’s something disturbingly familiar about him—as in he’s the boy from her childhood dreams.

His time is running out…

Resigned to his fate, his final goal is simple—rescue his nephew before succumbing to the deadly darkness inside him. But when a fateful misstep brings him face-to-face with the one woman who could have saved him once upon a dream—the one woman he treasures above all else—he battles to keep his distance before he destroys her, too. But he would gladly sell his soul for just one taste.

Love draws them together, destiny will tear them apart

With ruthless enemies closing in, Quinn and Zaire must fight to save each other and those they care for before it’s too late—even if it means they’re doomed to live apart forever.

Excerpt
1:

Quinn tossed the
note on the coffee table and wrapped one hand around the warm ceramic mug,
absently petting Wolfgang with the other. Dusk took over beyond the wall of
windows, made darker by the blizzard. Falling snow hid the skirting tree line.
Wind howled at the house corners and turned treetops into jerking puppets. The
perfect meltdown location. No phones, no people, no problem.
The lamp
flickered and died, leaving her with only the dancing firelight, not that she
minded. The power had lasted longer than she expected. Stoked fire, hot cider,
and now she had a great excuse to procrastinate reading unhelpful flyers. She
sipped her drink and wriggled back on the couch.
Wolfgang
launched off her lap, kicking papers everywhere and sloshing her drink.
“Bad cat!”
He scurried into
the kitchen, out of sight. A distinct thud followed, which meant Wolfgang was
up to no good.
“I should’ve
sent you off to the Nameless One.” Quinn shoved the remaining flyers aside and
nabbed the flashlight from the end table. “You’d make an amazing hat, and
there’d be enough fur left to make a stole, the perfect ensemble to compliment
her plastic face.”
She flicked on
the flashlight and shuffled into the kitchen, ignoring how the light made all
the shadows twist and scuttle on the walls and ceiling. Broken bones might
bother her, but the dark never had.
Wolfgang
expectantly stood at the back door. He meowed, high and plaintive. Nothing
looked out of place. Whatever had made the thud wasn’t in the kitchen. Maybe
the wind had blown a loose branch against the house.
“What, you’re a
snow leopard now? There’s no fancy feline feast waiting out there for you.”
Wolfgang rubbed
his cheek against the doorframe, circled, and meowed again.
Thud. The entire
door shook.
Quinn jumped.
That was no branch. All the horror movies she loved to watch and ridicule
flashed to mind, a lot less funny now. Alone in the woods. Killer storm. No
electricity. No connection to the outside world.
Wolfgang’s purr
rumbled, and he slid his face over the jamb again. The noise hadn’t spooked him
even a little, and animals always sensed evil. Wolfgang had had no problem
detecting it in Molly.
She squared her
shoulders. No one would be roaming around in a blizzard. An animal had probably
knocked the trashcan into the door, and a quick look would ease any worry. At
the first glimpse of fur or fang—or red, glowing eyes—she’d go for the door
slam.
Pushing Wolfgang
back with one foot, she cracked open the door. Wind exploded in, ripping the
doorknob from her grip and firing snow and ice into her eyes. The door banged
into the wall, and the storm’s full force rushed inside. Quinn scrambled for
the knob and stopped, frozen by more than the sudden blast of cold.
A man filled the
entryway from threshold to frame, dark as the nightfall behind him. Steam
drifted from his bare head. Frost coated his short, sable hair, and even in the
flashlight beam, his complexion held an unhealthy blue-gray hue. One hand was
anchored to the doorpost in a white-knuckled grip. The other brandished a
wicked as sin knife.
She shone the
light on his face, and her stomach roller-coastered. Her demon. The one who’d
haunted her nightmares years ago and then abruptly bailed, never to return. No
matter what face he wore, his death-black, abysmal eyes were unforgettable.
Or were her
delusions returning with a vengeance?
“Get out of my
way.” His chest heaved, and he lurched forward, the knife pointed at her. His
guttural words erased any suspicion that he might be another hallucination. He
was too present, too solid to be anything but real.


Merde. He was
real.
