Van by Melanie Moreland

Title: VAN
Series: Vested Interest Series
Author: Melanie Moreland
Genre: Contemporary Romance ~ Rom/Com
Release Date: March 25, 2019








Vince Morrison, known to most people as Van.

Good with his hands, be it crafting a piece of wood, playing his guitar, or pleasing a lover—he excels at them all.

Friendly, flirty, and talented, he's cool under pressure, and hot everywhere else.

But he keeps his heart closed, even as his interest and emotions are tested.

Olivia Rourke works alongside him at BAM.

Talented, private, and intriguing, she touches something inside him he can't deny.

He wants to know her. In every possible way.

He wants her to know him.

Her past tells her to stay clear. Van is everything that she wants, and exactly what she cannot have. She has someone else to think of who is more important.

Can either of them risk their hearts?

 





Van sat on the floor, his legs crossed, a few animals on his lap. A blue boa was draped around his neck, and a tiara sat askew on his head, the plastic gems glittering in the light. He held out his cup, his pinkie extended, no doubt having been schooled in proper tea party etiquette by Sammy, murmuring his thanks for more “tea.”

Sammy filled his cup with water and held out the plate of Oreos. I frowned. I never bought Oreos.

“More cookies, Prince Van? I made them myself.”

Prince Van?

He lifted his chin royally and accepted a cookie. “They are delicious. You must give me the recipe. I’ll have my cook at the castle make them.”

Never had I wished for a camera more than I did at that moment. Unable to contain myself, I giggled. They both turned to the door, excited to see me home. Sammy clapped her hands, demanding I join them. 

I expected embarrassment from Van, but he simply tossed his boa around his neck and indicated the floor beside him with a wide grin. 

“Liv, you’re home. Join us for tea? Sammy has made the most divine cookies.”

How could I resist?

Excerpt

Sam pressed Zoe's back into the door, and she tilted her
head to meet his kiss. Their lips came together, and she sighed, the sweet pull
of desire and relief and love manifesting itself with every lick, every brush
of skin on skin.

"Let's get inside. I have all sorts of ideas about what
we can do with a can of whipped cream."

"Tell me you've got chocolate syrup in there,
too."

"I've got the biggest container they make."

"Do you have ice cream?"

"Strawberry and chocolate," he answered, taking
her earlobe between his teeth.

"And Maraschino cherries?" she purred.

"What kind of freak do you think I am? An ice cream
sundae without a cherry on top? Of course, I've got Maraschino cherries."

She bit his lip. "What are you waiting for? Let's go
have the naughtiest ice cream party Langley Park's ever seen."

Trust & Treachery by Charissa Dufour

Author: Charissa Dufour

Narrator: Ian McEuen

Length: 3 hours 57 minutes

Series: Echoes of Sol Series, Book 1

Publisher: Charissa Dufour

Released: Nov. 28, 2018

Genre: Science Fiction, Space Opera


When space freighter pilot Calen Macleef accidentally wins Larissa “Bit” Earnest in a lucky hand of poker, his main concern is what his gruff and uncompromising brother, Jack, will say about it. Jack Macleef is the captain of the ship in a world where space travel has only recently become the norm and space piracy abounds.

Painful memories of prior abuse surface for Bit as she finds herself on a freighter full of rowdy, ungentlemanly merchant marines. Jack works to find a safe place for frightened Bit among the ungentlemanly crew, but good looks and innocent ways continually charm the men.

With tension and danger running high, each begins to wonder: Will they survive the pirates...and each other?




My journey to becoming a writer began in 8th grade when I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and pulled from school to recover. During this time, I was left alone for hours on end and it was then that I discovered new friends within the pages of books. I also learned the blessing of creating my own friends by writing down the stories that plagued my lonely mind--as demented as that sounds. Therefore at the ripe age of fourteen, I wrote my first novel. It sucked! But I kept going and now I am an Indie Author with numerous books out. I never imagined that first horrible novel about a man who crashlanded on his long-lost homeworld would turn into a lifelong passion.
I now live in Chicago, IL with my amazing husband and two rambunctious cats, Groot and Rocket.

GENRE:  Romantic Suspense
“Two men... two worlds... one desperate promise...”



If Anna had only known how the simple push of a button would turn her life upside down, she would never have pressed ‘Play.’



Just 22 seconds into the recording she’s hit by the realization that, if the voice in the thick German accent is right, she has been living with an unthinkable lie for the past thirty years.



There is only one way to find out: Follow the instruction left by a dead person and head back to Germany, to a life Anna has next to no conscious memory of.



To her surprise, she finds an unexpected ally in Peter, an old childhood friend whose law degree and language skills prove to be more than useful. Besides, he has the most gorgeous blue eyes and the uncanny ability to push Anna's buttons without the slightest effort. At every turn, their search for answers is littered with more lies and revelations.



Anna must ultimately decide whether even the noblest of ends, truly justify the means and whether some secrets should better stay buried.



“Mystery, history, and a twist at every turn. Brilliant characters and prolific storytelling... irresistible!”


Read an Excerpt



"Happy now?"



"I'll tell you in a minute." Peter grabbed a cookie and took a slow and careful bite. Like a wine connoisseur would taste a sip of rare, expensive wine, he chewed slowly, eyes closed, a pondering frown on his forehead. Anna waited for the verdict, patiently, while everything in her wanted to pick up a sofa cushion and smack his smug face. She had never been a physical person, but somehow he brought out that side of her. God, could he be any more obnoxious?



"And?" He just had to make her ask, hadn't he?



"Not quite…." He grinned. "But the closest any cookie has ever come. Martha would be proud."



Before she could stop herself, reflex took over, and the sofa cushion landed on the back of Peter's head. Bam!



"Ouch! That hurt!" He rubbed his head and looked at her more in surprise than pain.



"Good." Anna crossed her arms in front of her chest, jaw clenched, eyes shooting off invisible darts.



"Okay, guess I deserved that. Sorry, I'm not usually this…" He was looking for the right word.



"Chauvinistic?" Anna jumped in.



"No. Good one, but not quite." He looked up at the ceiling, still pondering.



"Obnoxious?"



"Wow. Don't hold back now."



"Irritatingly annoying?" Anna offered.



"I was going to say delightfully charming," he paused before adding, "or failing at it. Anyway, is that how you treat a friend that's doing you a favor?"



Now it was her turn to apologize. "Sorry." She reached out and offered her hand, "Truce?"



Peter took it, but instead of shaking it he held on and pulled her onto the sofa next to him. "Are we gonna do this or what?"




About the Author:M.Naidoo lives in Northern California with her husband, two daughters, and three dogs. Born and raised in Germany, she was able to draw on a wealth of memories and passed down stories for Where Sleeping Lies Lie.



When she is not in front of her computer, pounding out story lines and characters, she enjoys reading, movies, spending time with her family, and long walks on the beach - her proverbial 'happy place'. M's love for the shore line and ocean shine through in the vivid descriptions of the coast in her debut novel The Pelican.



"Juggling my life as a writer and a full-time 'real' job has its challenges. I don't get to spend half as much time as I'd like doing what I love, and there are never enough hours in the day. Still, I feel extremely lucky to be following my passion, and I am enjoying every minute of it. Getting here has been one heck of a ride!"

EXCERPT:

He set her up straight and turned her head. “Is that why you’re holding back? Do you think since I had you, I’m done?”

She nodded.

“Do you want me to prove I want you?” He trailed his fingers down her jaw and dawdled on her neck. “Right here?”

“Coco’s upstairs.”

“I don’t care.”

“I do.” She moistened her lips. “I’m not like you and your club. When I have sex, I like it to stay between you and me.”

His gaze intensified and he dipped his face closer to her. “If there were a chance you’d lose me tomorrow, would you not want to make love to me today?”

The way his voice grew huskier and more singsong had her vagina dancing. She couldn’t figure out if he were sweetness poised as a Norwegian biker or giving her a line of bullshit.

“That’s not funny.” She pushed against him to get off his lap, and he wrapped his arms around her, not letting her go.

“I’m not laughing.” His gaze dropped to her mouth. “No one knows what will happen. Not you. Not me. I would show you how I felt, regardless if someone was watching because it’s important that you know how I feel.”

The sentiment was endearing, but it brought her back to the worry that what happened within his club was more dangerous than he let on. Slag Motorcycle Club had more going on than running the bar.

“Where did you go today?” she asked, dropping the subject of sex.

He sighed and leaned back, gathering her hands in his. “I went up into Washington and visited another Motorcycle Club.”

“Why?”

“Why not?” He brought her hands to his lips. “Clubs gather, work together, and keep in touch. Much like friends do in your life.”

She studied him. It was a cookie cutter answer, and she needed to know more.
