Title: Fragments of Ash, a modern fairytale
Author: Katy Regnery 
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 1, 2018






From New York Times bestselling author Katy Regnery comes a dark and twisted retelling of the beloved fairytale, Cinderella!



My name is Ashley Ellis…

I was thirteen years old when my mother – retired supermodel, Tig – married Mosier Răumann, who was twice her age and the head of the Răumann crime family.

When I turned eighteen, my mother mysteriously died. Only then did I discover the dark plans my stepfather had in store for me all along; the debauched “work” he expected me to do.

With the help of my godfather, Gus, I have escaped from Mosier’s clutches, but his twin sons and henchmen have been tasked with hunting me down. And they will stop at nothing to return my virgin body to their father

…dead or alive.

** Contemporary Romance. Due to profanity and very strong sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.**

Fragments of Ash is part of the ~a modern fairytale~ collection: contemporary, standalone romances inspired by beloved fairy tales.

~"I loved this book with all of my heart. As always, I was captivated by the writing. I was immediately drawn in by the angst. And I connected with each character as though they were my best friends." --L.B. Simmons, USA Today bestselling author on "Ginger's Heart" (AMF #3)


"I absolutely loved this book! It was sweet, sexy, heart-warming, and incredibly romantic!! I read it in one non-stop sitting because I just didn't want to put it down. It's a contemporary fairy tale with a moody, brooding, deeply protective modern-day bad-boy knight who falls utterly in love with a down-on-her-luck damsel in distress who he rescues.

This might be the most fairytale-iest of all the fairytales." --Bookgasms Book Blog on "Shear Heaven" (AMF #6)

Commander by Sienna Snow





Title: Commander
Series: Politics of Love #3
Author: Sienna Snow
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 4, 2018




Blurb

I am Tara Zain.

Human rights attorney, the Commander to my colleagues in
international affairs, and fiancee to the most powerful man in the country.

I've learned love is a useless distraction. Money and status
are the true motivators, and powerful alliances are much more important than
romantic entanglements. My passion is my work, and nothing, not even the
promise of happily-ever-after, will keep me from accomplishing my mission.

This is why I've made a bargain with the one man who
shattered my heart years ago. He's proposed that I stand by his side and foster
the beginning of a new political dynasty.

But I have secrets.

Secrets that could destroy not only this man and the passion
we've rekindled but the very laws of the nation he has sworn to uphold.

I am Tara Zain. Future First Lady of the United States of
America and COMMANDER.

Excerpt

I turned to
face Ashur and came to an abrupt halt.
Instead of
the impeccably tailored suit I expected him to be in, he wore a large towel
wrapped around his waist. He rubbed his damp hair with a small cloth as beads
of water trailed along the tanned skin of his broad shoulders and washboard abs.
It took all
my effort not to lick my lips.
His honed
form was a work of art.
He no
longer possessed the lean physique of the boy I’d fallen in love with but that
of a man who’d built his muscles from years of military training. There wasn’t
an inch of unnecessary fat on him, and his chiseled abs would put a bodybuilder
to shame. The only things marring his gorgeous form were the slight scars on
his waist and chest. He’d incorporated them into the Indian-inspired tattoos
that covered most of the left half of his upper body, making me want to trace
each design around them. Not just with my finger but my tongue.
And then
there was the way the towel clung to him. Dear lord, a woman had to be dead not
to drool and hope for a peek at the package hidden under the cloth.
Shit, what
was I doing?
Get your hormones in check, Tara Zain. Your
entire family is waiting for you down the hall.
I ignored
my self-reprimand and continued to examine Ashur’s body. Politicians were
supposed to be balding with potbellies. Not sexy as sin, covered in tattoos,
and looking like they should be on the cover of a wet Wednesday calendar.
“Want me to
lose the towel?” A smirk touched his lips.
Damn. He’d
caught me staring at his body.

Trusting You by Ketley Allison




Title: Trusting You

Series: Players to Lovers #1
Author: Ketley Allison
Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 8, 2018

Carter

My best friend died
tonight and her baby girl might be taken away from me, too, if I don’t find
Lily’s father before she’s ripped out of my life and given to another family.

Unfortunately, I
know who he is. He’s my best friend’s ex, and I hate him in memory and on
sight.

I love this baby,
but I don’t love him. Even if he does whatever it takes to make me trust him,
and it seems he’s determined to do exactly that.

There’s just so
little of my heart left, and I can’t—won’t—reserve any of it for that bastard,
Lachlan Hayes.


Locke

A pro-football
prodigy, success was laid out in golden dollar signs—until an injury so
cringe-worthy it went viral laid me out for good.

Since then, I’ve
discovered booze and sex, and I get both whenever I want.

Until a girl shows
up at my literal doorstep, telling me about a baby I never knew I had.

As she looks at me
with tears her eyes, I have a sick feeling my world is about to spin out again.

I’m in deep sh*t,
because in no life plan did I think I’d raise a daughter, and I sure as hell
didn’t think I’d fall in love with the woman that comes with her.

Excerpt

CARTER
“I’d better go,” I say.
“Yeah.” Locke waves us off. “Go. But make sure to come back,
okay?”
I offer him a small, deflated smile as I push the stroller
through the doorway. “I’m not going to abscond with your baby.”
“I don’t just mean the baby.”
The door’s almost shut, but I catch a glimpse of his face as
he says it, and in those brief seconds, I detect nothing but irritation.
It makes no sense, his words coupled with his expression,
but I’m coming to understand that about Locke. The conflict and layers and
constant upkeep it takes for him to keep pretending everything in his life is
okay.
I lift the stroller the way I saw Locke do it—surprised by
the lightness—and descend the staircase sideways. Lily smacks at my face and
tries to palm my nose. I blow a raspberry at her, but I’m thinking about the
man I left behind, and how I’m coming to learn that sometimes, it’s not
kindness I crave.
Seeing Locke angry is upsetting. But understanding its
impact unearths a sexual lust coiled beneath my bones. 
I’m used to emotional charge. Usually in the rollercoaster
form of grief, thinking everything will to be all right, like when the
treatment’s working and Paige has more energy, before the crash of devastation
when told there’s nothing more that can be done.
But this ride with Locke…the leap from
anger to happiness to sweetness, then back to anger, in such a short amount of
time, has me wanting to lift my dress and deal with the overdrive in an
entirely different way. I want to straddle him, to massage and kiss and tame
him.
I shudder as I drop Lily’s wheels to the ground.
Maybe…

I can keep looking forward to dinner.
