The Road to Bliss by Denise N. Wheatley


The
Road to Bliss
by
Denise N. Wheatley

Genre:
Contemporary Romance 

Newly
engaged Timber West is a beauty and wellness entrepreneur who
seemingly has it all. But her life is turned upside down when she
breaks off her engagement with Brian after he questions her career
choices and wavers on wanting more children. Timber turns to her
friend Eva for sympathy, which is tricky considering Brian is also
Eva’s father.


Timber
eventually finds love again with sexy actor Alex and moves her
company Soothing Bliss into a beautiful commercial space. With an
exciting new man and a business that’s flourishing, Timber feels as
though she’s on the perfect path. But she’s thrown into a
whirlwind of turmoil when Soothing Bliss’s new location is
threatened to be purchased by a callous art curator, and Alex’s
popularity sparks his wandering eye.

Then
Brian reappears and they start up an unlikely friendship, giving
Timber just the boost she needs. As Christmastime approaches,
Timber’s wish is that her favorite holiday will bring about a
miracle in her fight to keep Soothing Bliss in its rightful home.
With a little compromise and dose of holiday magic, Timber wonders
whether she and Brian can work through their past and mend a
relationship that perhaps never should have unraveled.

Reader
Alert!
Timber
West always plays by the rules. So even she’s surprised when she
decides to leave her prestigious job as a chemist and launch a beauty
and wellness company. Her fiancé Brian, who was her chemistry
professor during college and also happens to be her best friend’s
father, isn’t happy with this decision. His disapproval leads to
their breakup, but a devastated Timber eventually finds love again
with a charismatic movie star. Life is good until both her new
relationship and business begin to falter, leaving Timber
reevaluating Brian and pondering whether she should give him a second
chance.

To
My Readers:
A
story just isn’t a story without a large dose of romance and a
happily ever after. THE ROAD TO BLISS is just that. This novel is a
beautiful tale of love and second chances, with plenty of fun, drama
and turmoil in between! My main character’s love affair feels so
real to me, to the point where I found myself rooting for her in
hopes that everything would work in her favor. Writing this book was
a wonderful journey, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I
enjoyed writing it!













Denise
N. Wheatley is a lover of romance, happy endings and the art of
storytelling. She used to cry as a three-year old child when her
mother read to her because she so badly wanted to read the books
herself! Once she learned, Denise constantly had her nose in a novel
(especially the ones she’d sneak from her mom’s bookshelf). She’s
been writing for as long as she can remember and draws inspiration
from Chicago, the city where she was born and raised, as well as Los
Angeles, which is one of her favorite places in the world. Denise has
published several books and novellas with Simon & Schuster, Red
Sage Publishing, eXtasy Books and independently, has written
screenplays and teleplays, and has ghostwritten for some of your
faves. When she isn’t sitting behind her computer, you can find
Denise in a movie theater, on a tennis court, watching true crime
television or chatting on social media.

a sinister demon to unthinkable betrayal to forbidden feelings...can

SCARRED
– Book 1


A

falling for her...? All bets are off.

Kiara
was born with power. At eighteen, her powers are peaked, and she's
destined to destroy the demon threatening her home town. But even

older brother to her, they're not strong enough to stand against the
evil. Enter Trent, a vampire with a secret past, and the tables turn,
giving them a fighting chance.
Kiara
shouldn’t feel anything toward Trent, especially since Kaleib hates
him, but a strong attraction builds between them during their
mission. Trent has successfully avoided caring about anyone for over
one hundred years, and he plans to keep it that way. When Kiara asks
for help, he can’t seem to deny her. Never would he imagine that
he’d run into Kaleib, someone from his past--a vampire who knows
his secret. Trent convinces himself he's aiding Kiara for his own
selfish amusement, but the little witch seems immune to his charms
and she's chipping away at his walls. To his dismay, he finds himself
beginning to care for Kiara.

the demon that wants to kill her and two fighting vampires, how will
things play out for Kiara and Trent? Will this demon let them live to

thirst hovers over everything they do. The hostility between Trent

together or will she lose control? Will her new thirst be too much?

feels something for him. Their budding trust is tested. Despite
everything, he tries to be there for her. By her bedside when she
wakes, helping her figure out how to tell her godparents what she is
now, even staying in her house when she can’t sleep.
When
Kiara’s dreams are plagued with visions of Sarah threatening her,
Kaleib and Trent say that it's coincidence. Her mind dealing with the
loss. But as the visions come while she’s awake, it looks less like
coincidence and more like something sinister.

Something dangerous?




ANGEL

The
epic conclusion of Amanda Leigh's Upper YA Paranormal Romance
trilogy.

With
a battle close at hand, Kiara must face the darkness inside her.

The
only way for Kiara to save her loved ones from a sinister demon is to
turn herself over. But doing so would ensure the destruction of not

close is taken from her in warning, sending her into hiding with
Trent and Kaleib. While a battle looms, Trent and Kaleib must put
aside their hostilities toward each other to protect Kiara. They help
her navigate the impending fight, not to mention the hunger fighting
within her.
As
the final fight draws near, Kiara and Trent grow closer, the limited
space ramping up tension and making their passion hard to deny. Will
their feelings strengthen them or be their undoing?
When
the time comes, will Kiara yield to the darkness within her to
destroy the monster haunting her?







Amanda
Leigh has had a love of words since before she could write them
herself. Once she learned to read and write herself she just couldn't
stop. She reads any genre as long as the book sounds interesting.
Which may explain why she can't and never will be able to stick to
one genre in her writing. From Contemporary Romance to Women's
Fiction to Paranormal Romance to Poetry and more to come. When she's
not writing or reading she enjoys getting swept away in a great TV
show, going to the theater, listening to music, cooking and many
different forms of art. She has a cat she adores and also loves
Psychology, tea, coffee, chocolate and Elvis Presley. Not necessarily
in that order. Feel free to get in touch with her.

EXCERPT:

Holy crap. Grady’s on top of me.

His entire body is stretched out over mine and we’re in position to do the horizontal tango. Like now. He’s breathing hard and looking around the parking lot. We’re shielded from view behind his cruiser and my car. We can’t see anything, and no one can see us.

I shift under him and rest my knees beside his hips. His arms are braced over me and I take a second to admire the view.

“Grady?”

He looks down. Our lips are only a few inches apart. “That was your Gremlin backfiring, wasn’t it?”

“Afraid so.”

He snorts and I grin.

I wiggle and shift until my hips are lined up with his. I’m pressed into the hot pavement, and pebbles are poking my back—but I don’t ever want to get up. And apparently, Grady doesn’t want to either. He drops his forearms onto the pavement and cages me in.

We press together, my breasts against his chest, my stomach against his rock-hard abdomen, my you know what against his zipper. Oh wow. I really like his zipper.

I arch into him.

“Ah, Gina?” His breath is coming out faster. There’s heat rolling off the thick ridge of him. He’s hard. Real hard. My eyes widen. His eyes narrow and his shoulders tense up.

“Yes, Sheriff?”

“We should get up.” He starts to rise, but as he does his joystick rubs against me and I moan. He stills. His jaw clenches and his eyes flare. Then they go all unfocused and he ever so slowly rubs his length along me.

Venus Falling by RaShelle Workman


Venus Falling
RaShelle Workman
(Immortals, #1)
Publication date: May 1st 2019
Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Science Fiction

Roswell meets The Vampire Diaries in this mashup! Romance. Betrayal. A hot vampire kissing an alien princess?! Be swept away to the wiles of Wyoming and then to the stars in this seriously entertaining, twisted, science fiction/fantasy series.” ~

Betrayal sucks! I should know. On my sixteenth birthday, it was my destiny to become immortal and the next queen of my home planet, Kelari. Instead I was betrayed and sent to Earth where I was given a choice by the gods. Suffocate and die by Earth’s atmosphere or help a human find his soulmate.

Of course, I chose the latter. The decree sounded easy enough until I met the guy. Michael is gorgeous; I’ll give him that. But he’s also an arrogant jerk! No one could possibly love him—least of all me.

But Michael is the least of my problems. There’s a hot vampire after me, determined to make me like him. He’s hard to resist, especially when he’s kissing me. Not to mention a government group whose sole purpose is to hunt beings from other worlds. They’ve found out about my unearthly identity, and despite my human appearance, they are intent on capturing and dissecting me like some kind of a lab experiment.

Thankfully my guardian Zaren followed me to this planet. He’s sworn to protect me. He’s done so my entire life. At least he’s supposed to. But Earth is different than Kelari in more ways than one, and the planet is affecting me like neither of us expected. I don’t think he counted on keeping me safe from my own traitorous heart.

PROLOGUE

When Worlds Collide

Christopher stood on the outskirs of Snow White’s house. He wouldn’t go in. Doing so would cause a hassle he wasn’t ready for. And neither was Snow. Soon though. He leaned against the enormous tree in her front yard, watching the changing leaves fall like colorful rain. Above, the stars twinkled in the clear night sky, as though it had no inkling of the grim trouble on the horizon.

Christopher sighed, pushing his hands into the front pockets of his jeans. He had come to Snow’s house for one reason. To get his head right. He had plans for Snow. Big plans. Traitorous plans. But for now, he’d been tasked with handling an impending problem of intergalactic proportions.

He closed his eyes against what he’d learned, but for some reason, that only made what he had to do more real. The Vampire Queen had asked him to infiltrate a high school and befriend some particular students. At her request, he’d laughed. He was too old for such an assignment. It didn’t matter that he still looked like a teenager because he’d been changed at that time in his life. He was a vampire, specifically a Hunter, and had been for decades. He could just kill them all. Wouldn’t that suffice?

But the Vampire Queen had other ideas. Plus, she hadn’t asked, she’d demanded. Going against her wishes was detrimental to his health. He sighed again, thinking of all she’d told him. When she spoke, his world had been turned upside down. Similar to the time before he’d become a vampire. Then, he hadn’t believed in the supernatural. Of course, now, he did. But there was more.

The queen told him life existed beyond humans and the supernatural. There were creatures not of this world, and they were determined to make Earth theirs.

He refused to let that happen.

So, he would do as she ordered and head to the wiles of Wyoming. He would join the high school there. According to the Vampire Queen, a princess would be attending. He was to search her out and turn her—make her one of them. But the princess wasn’t from Earth. She was from another planet, though according to the queen she would look human.

He shuddered with excitement at the strangeness of life. How would the alien princess taste? His body hummed in anticipation of her blood in his mouth. He wasn’t afraid. He was hungry. And determined to have his fill of her. The sooner, the better.

Let the hunt begin…
