THE SINGLE GIRLS CALENDAR by Erin Green




Genre: RomCom
Release Date: 1st January 2018
Publisher: Aria (Imprint of Head of Zeus)
A task a day to cure a broken heart. 
Esmé Peel is approaching thirty with some trepidation, but hope in her heart. If she can just get her long-term boyfriend Andrew to propose, she will have ticked everything off her 'things to do by the time you're 30' list. She didn't reckon on finding another woman's earring in her bed however, and soon she finds herself single, homeless and in need of a new plan. Her best friend Carys gives her the perfect present – The Single Girl’s Calendar – which has a different cure for heartbreak every day: 

Day 1: Look and feel fabulous with a new hair style. 

Day 2: Step out of your comfort zone and try something new. 

Day 3: Reconnect with friends and enjoy! 
Despite thinking it's a bit of a gimmick, Esmé hasn't got any better ideas, so she puts the plan into action. By the end of week one she has four new male housemates, and despite a broken heart she is determined to show Andrew she can do more than survive, she can thrive.
EXTRACT
Carys reached for Esmé’s hand and gently squeezed it.
‘So, what have you done all morning?’
‘Apart from visit cafes, I’ve walked around the city, stared in shop windows and had a meltdown when I found myself in the crime section at Waterstones…’ Esmé coughed as a wave of nausea lifted to her throat. ‘I felt fine until then. How many times has that store saved my skin with his birthday presents or stocking fillers? Not anymore. Those days are gone.’
‘In that case, I have just the thing,’ announced Carys, releasing Esmé’s hand before rummaging in the plastic bag beneath her chair. ‘Don’t laugh, but this actually helped me through the break-up with Myles.’
‘I thought I helped you get through that.’
Carys raised her head mid-rummage, her corkscrew curls bouncing as she disagreed.
‘Nope! You know nothing about break-ups, Esmé. Seriously, your relationship has been so long-term you haven’t a clue. But this…’ Carys lifted a pink boxed object onto the table top. ‘This might help.’
‘What the hell?’ said Esmé, staring at the advent calendar styled object with its tiny perforated doors.
‘It’s 100 per cent tack and it only cost a fiver but—’
‘Carys?’
‘Hear me out, Esmé… it’s worth a laugh if nothing else.’
‘Yeah, sure,’ said Esmé, lifting the calendar to read the blurb on the reverse.
Want a sassy new way to overcome a break-up? Or simply an opportunity to focus on your life? The Single Girl’s Calendar is made for you! Behind every door is a task that will help you focus on you, and you only! A whole month of pampering, mindfulness activities, caring and sharing ideas which in just four short weeks will have you feeling on top of the world! An insightful way to put a spring back into your step as a strong, independent woman!
‘Are you serious?’
Carys nodded.

Clowders by Vanessa Morgan


Clowders
by
Vanessa Morgan

Genre:
Horror, Suspense

Clervaux,
Luxembourg. This secluded, picturesque town in the middle of Europe
is home to more cats than people. For years, tourists have flocked to
this place – also known as “cat haven” - to meet the cats and
buy cat-related souvenirs.



When
Aidan, Jess and their five-year-old daughter, Eleonore, move from
America to Clervaux, it seems as if they've arrived in paradise. It
soon becomes evident, though, that the inhabitants' adoration of
their cats is unhealthy. According to a local legend, each time a cat
dies, nine human lives are taken as a punishment. To tourists, these
tales are supernatural folklore, created to frighten children on cold
winter nights. But for the inhabitants of Clervaux, the danger is
horrifyingly real.

Initially,
Aidan and Jess regard this as local superstition, but when Jess runs
over a cat after a night on the town, people start dying, one by one,
and each time it happens, a clowder of cats can be seen roaming the
premises.

Are
they falling victim to the collective paranoia infecting the entire
town? Or is something unspeakably evil waiting for them?

Their
move to Europe may just have been the worst decision they ever made.





Goodreads
* Amazon

 Excerpt:


“Who is she?” Eleonore asked when Jess drove her to school Friday morning.
“Who's who?” Jess countered, not sure what her daughter was talking about.
“The girl. The one who's always watching us.”
“No one's watching us,” Jess said.
“Yes, there is. All the girls in my baking class say the same.”
Normally, Jess wouldn't have put much thought into such a remark - children can say weird things sometimes. But now it seemed Eleonore might be right. Jess felt like there was indeed someone watching them, no matter what they were doing.
She felt it everywhere she went. When she took Eleonore to baking class, when she was lying in bed at night, even in the shops. But not all the time.
Some of the time.
More often than not, everything seemed normal, and then all of a sudden, she felt as if someone was checking up on her. Sometimes it was only briefly, like a minute or so, but at other times, she could feel it for several hours.
Sometimes she could feel it on the streets.
But mostly at home.
And never outside Clervaux.
You're imagining things, she told herself.
In fact, every day since she'd arrived in Europe, it had gotten worse. More and more, she'd get that tingly feeling, and know that someone behind her was watching her. She'd try to ignore it, tried to resist the urge to look over her shoulder, but eventually the hair on the back of her neck would stand up, and the tingling would turn into a chill, and finally, she'd turn around.
And nobody would be there.
Nobody, except for the cats. The sight of cats waddling along the pavement had never seemed eerie to her, but the fact that they were always there, no matter where she was - on the sidewalk, at the main square, in a café, in the forest – made her skin crawl.
Whenever she was running errands in Clervaux, she kept looking into store windows, but it wasn't the merchandise she was looking at; it was the reflection in the glass.
The reflection of something sinister watching her.
Sometimes she could have sworn she saw something. The reflection of a small, squatting figure. But then she glanced over her shoulder and all she could see once more were the cats of Clervaux staring back at her.
She decided to not let her imagination get to her, to resist the urge to glance over her shoulder every few seconds.
And then her daughter muttered the words, “Who is she? The girl. The one who's always watching us,” and the paranoia tightened its grip on her once more.

Cheerleader
Layla and football player Tyler are complete opposites. She thinks
he’s the biggest jerk in school and he thinks she's too high on her

endure speaking, let alone dating. 


But
when Layla unknowingly sends Tyler a smack-down text meant for the

resist messing with the pissed off girl firing off texts about junk
pictures, cheating, and girl code. 

As
the fallout from Adam’s scandalous texts plays out in front of the
entire school, Tyler and Layla secretly continue to text each other
using fake names. But as days and weeks pass, things take a turn for
the serious between them, and suddenly, their texts mean more. Maybe
it's time to come clean about who they are and risk taking the

more.

say there's a thin line between love and hate. Can reality live up to

Share Me, Book 2: Bull's Eye by Evelyn Vox



Share Me, Book 2: Bull's Eye
by Evelyn Vox
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Erotic Romance


~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
LEXIE
I made a deal with the devil. A devil named Derek Drake. He makes my husband watch as he uses me
to satisfy his carnal desires. I love it, and that terrifies me. Because this bargain only works if they are
willing to share me. I don't know what I'll do when they decide they've had enough of our deal. I'm not
sure I can choose between them.
DEREK
Brian loves watching me pleasure his wife in ways he never could. But the beast inside me is tired of
sharing my Goddess. I am the one who ignited the dark fire within her. I am the one she answers to.
Alexandra is mine. I don't see much use for the cuck anymore.
Bull's Eye is a steamy, kinky MMF romance about a cuckold relationship gone awry. When the line
between lust and love blurs, when the two men sharing her both lay their claim, Lexie will have to make
the choice of her life: Derek or Brian. WARNING: this story is not for the faint of heart. It is a twisted
tale of self-discovery about finding light in the darkest corners of the heart. It has hard BDSM and an
open marriage where the boundaries are pushed to the breaking point. Read at your own risk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt Two:
Derek eyed me up, that gaze making my blood warm. He tugged me into his chest, his hands resting
on my shoulders.


“If you want to turn back, Alexandra,” he said, “now is the time. Because once we walk into Club
Midnight, you are mine.”


“I’m nervous,” I admitted. “What if I’m the only one dressed like this?”


“You won’t be,” Derek promised. “Besides, everyone will see your collar and know you’re claimed. No
one will touch you.”


I smiled. It was nice, feeling owned and claimed by Derek. It made me feel safe. Gave me courage.
And I knew how much he wanted this. His face was limned with carnal, wild lust. It was the kind of look
that made my heart quicken. I was always in for a good time when he gave me that look. A good,
devious, delicious time.


“Yes, Sir,” I said, unbuttoning my jacket.


I turned so Derek could pull it down my arms.


“Good girl,” he murmured in my ear as he tugged on the sleeves.


He handed my jacket to the attendant. When he returned, those gray eyes were on fire. He gave me a
once over, then stalked towards me, a predator with his prey in sight.


“You look divine, Alexandra.”


My face warmed, but I glowed under the compliment. Derek wore his usual tight black shirt and jeans,
but I was his kinky little Princess. Anyone who looked at me would know it.
