Tactical Heart by S.K. Rose

Title: Tactical Heart
Author: S.K. Rose
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: August 22, 2019
Cover Design: Miss Bliss Designs


My name is Scarlett Mavis. I have a sweet tooth, no filters, and video games are my life.

Let me clarify that last part: They’re not a hobby; they’re not a way to kill the time; They. Are. My. LIFE.
Where family, men, and humans, in general, have failed me, video games are always there waiting for me to return to their warm and accepting embrace.
In real life I may be a heartbroken geek, but put a controller in my hands and I become an indestructible warrior.
What else does a girl really need?

Enter player two, Kane Decker.
Handsome, nerdy, incredible kisser, and just my type. Our first date was perfect in every way.
Then, like always, reality came crashing down with one simple truth. 
He wasn’t my teammate; he was the enemy. And there’s nothing I’m better at than taking out a rival player.
But this isn’t a game, and the stakes are all too real.
For the first time in my life, I may have met my match.
Game on.




She’s babbling, maybe I make her nervous. Taking a step closer, I hold out my hand and breathe in her flowery perfume.“I’m Kane.”
Her eyes dart to my lips, then to my outstretched hand. Ignoring it, she reaches up to twist the sucker in her mouth. I catch a flash of her pink tongue as it wraps around the candy.“I’m Scarlett.”Oh, this girl is gonna be trouble.





S.K. Rose lives in the hellish desert of Arizona with her newly appointed husband and two obnoxious cats. When she’s not writing, Rose enjoys reading, gaming, swearing like a drunk sailor, collecting swords, and obsessing over the magnificent sea creature: the octopus. Remember the Reaper is her debut series with many more to come.

Six years before my phone rang and changed my life
forever, I made a mistake.

I met a girl, we had some fun, and then we had a baby. And I
fell pretty damn hard for my daughter. I was going to be there. I was going to
give her everything I never had. I was going to have a family.

And then her mother disappeared and took my baby with her.

And now she’s done it again. Because that call that changed
my life was from my five-year-old daughter asking me if I knew where her Mommy
was.

Then came the lawyers. And the demands from her super-rich,
super-powerful messed-up family. And the little fact that my ex didn’t just
“disappear” she was “presumed dead”.

I don’t live a traditional lifestyle and I’m not in a
traditional relationship.

But I can pretend if I have to.

And that was the plan when my two “best friends” and I
decided to hire “professional liar” Brooke Alder to be my fake fiancée.

It’s totally gonna work.  As long as MY super-rich,
super-powerful, messed-up family doesn’t get in the way.

Bossy Brothers: Joey is book two in the Bossy Brothers
series and features a delicious, burning hot, MMFM, surprise-baby, fake fiancée
story with a twist that proves committed couples don’t just come in two’s,
mistakes can be a good thing, and for some people, non-traditional love is
exactly the kind they should fight for.

Excerpt

JOEY
They’re on
the loveseat facing the window and in profile from my view. Huck is down on his
knees, head between Brooke’s legs. She’s gripping his hair, head thrown back,
eyes closed, and her plump mouth open to allow the moans to escape.
Huck
reaches up, grabs the front of her sundress, and drags it down so her bra is
exposed. He does that again with the bra, and her tits bounce out. All the
while he’s licking her pussy.
One hand
grabs one breast and squeezes. Hard. Hard enough to make Brooke whimper. And
the other one slides between her legs.
He fingers
her as I watch, my dick getting hard at the sight of them.
Footsteps
on the stairs make me look over my shoulder. Wald comes up around the banister.
Saying nothing, but looking me dead in the eyes.
He licks
his lips and I turn back to keep watching.
Wald’s
hands slide around my hips and his chest presses into my back as he reaches for
my already hard cock beneath my slacks.
“Wald,” I
say. But it’s so soft, I don’t think he hears me.
Lie. It’s a
lie. He hears me.
They
planned this.
He and Huck
planned this on the way over.
Wald grabs
my hand and reaches for his dick, placing my palm over his growing hardness
under his pants. He squeezes himself using my hand to do it and I fucking moan.
I can’t help it.
Then he’s
kissing my neck, whispering, “Come on, dude. Play along. You know you want to,”
in my ear as he begins to unbuckle my belt.
I suck in a
breath of air, thinking up a reason why I should stop him.
But there’s
no good reason. We’ve already crossed the line again.
Where did I
really think this day would end up?
I brought a
girl in. I let them both have their fun. And I had mine too. Then I gave her a
ring and bought her a house and told them they were staying here with us.
I can say
it’s all for Maisy. And that might still be true.
But this is
the real me, isn’t it?
This is the
reason why I never settled down. Why I let Charlotte leave me behind the day
Maisy was born. Why I never came back here to the city where I was raised.
Where my brothers still live.
It’s
because I have always wanted more than I have.
I’m a
selfish, greedy motherfucker and that’s never going to change.
Wald has my
zipper down now. I’m still holding his cock through his jeans. He’s hard, and
I’m hard, and there’s no way we’re not doing this.
He pulls my
cock out and starts to jerk me off. Leaning his chest into my back. His lips
kissing my neck.
“Come on,”
he says.
I turn my
head a little. I can feel his breath on the side of my cheek. His lips drag
along the stubble of my jaw until he catches the corner of my mouth with his
teeth.
Brooke is
moaning in the other room and I turn my head back to watch. Huck is climbing up
her stomach, kissing it as he unbuckles his belt and gets his pants open. He
pulls his cock out and fists it, her looking up at him. He takes her hand and
wraps it around his shaft and gives her a little push. A little encouragement.
Brooke
begins to tug on him, their eyes still locked together.
Wald
squeezes my dick, reminding me who I’m with right now.
I lean into
the doorjamb. My right hand behind me, squeezing Wald’s dick as he gets his
pants undone and pulls himself out. He hands it to me.
That’s the
only way to describe that move. He takes my hand and places it over his cock
and I automatically begin to mimic Brooke as she jerks Huck in the other room.
She’s got
her mouth open now. Still looking up at my friend like he’s got all the
answers.
Wald’s
hands are on my hips. He presses forward until his cock is rubbing up against
my ass. One hand slides down along the diagonal muscle of my waist and grabs my
balls.
I suck in a
breath of air and close my eyes. Holding in the moan that wants to escape.
But Brooke
is giving Huck a sloppy blow job and I want to watch it.
So I open
my eyes and see Huck staring back at me.
“Come
here,” he whispers.

The Rogue King blitz with Xpresso Book Tours


The Rogue King
Abigail Owen
(Inferno Rising #1)
Published by: Entangled: Amara
Publication date: July 30th 2019
Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance
Kasia Amon is a master at hiding. Who—and what—she is makes her a mark for the entire supernatural world. Especially dragon shifters. To them, she’s treasure to be taken and claimed. A golden ticket to their highest throne. But she can’t stop bursting into flames, and there’s a sexy dragon shifter in town hunting for her…
As a rogue dragon, Brand Astarot has spent his life in the dark, shunned by his own kind, concealing his true identity. Only his dangerous reputation ensures his survival. Delivering a phoenix to the feared Blood King will bring him one step closer to the revenge he’s waited centuries to take. No way is he letting the feisty beauty get away.
But when Kasia sparks a white-hot need in him that’s impossible to ignore, Brand begins to form a new plan: claim her for himself…and take back his birthright.
EXCERPT:
The only warning she got that she was being followed was the flick of a shadow in the headlights. Before she could react, a massive golden dragon slammed down on the road in front of her about half a mile out. She almost expected the ground to shake with the force, but the act was near silent.
Dammit.
She gritted her teeth and tightened her hands on the wheel. Rather than stop, Kasia hit the gas, pushing the car to go faster. He wasn’t taking her without a fight, that was for damn sure.
The dragon’s deep golden scales glittered in the oncoming headlights. He didn’t budge. But he did growl, his tail slashing back and forth.
“Move, you scaly bastard,” she muttered.
But she didn’t let up on the pedal.
He lowered his head and let loose a growl of warning, which she responded to by stomping harder on the gas.
“Get out of the way!”
She had no intention of playing chicken. If he didn’t, she’d ram this car down his fire-breathing throat. The hell with it. She didn’t want to go back to that cabin in Alaska anyway. Maul would miss her, but he’d be the only one.
Only the dragon didn’t move. Okay then. Kasia braced for impact.
At the moment she should’ve slammed into him, the beast heaved himself into the air, and she zoomed past, fishtailing underneath him from the force of the wind his wings caused.
He must’ve backed up, because he landed on the road in front of her again.
“You want another go, you oversized flying iguana?” she shouted, and bore down on him.
And again, he hopped out of her way only to land in her path.
Damn. Kasia held in a scream of fear-tinged frustration. They could keep this up all night, getting them nowhere fast. He wasn’t going to let her go.
With a growl of aggravation, though not defeat, Kasia stomped on the brakes. The tires squealed in protest, and the unpleasant odor of burning rubber followed her as she skidded the car to a stop broadside of the dragon, only a few feet away. If she rolled down her window, she could reach out and touch him.
The terrifying creature moved around the car, his movements more of a glide, like golden water flowing around her. He lowered his head to gaze in at her with an eye the size of her entire thigh. He snorted, and smoke trailed from his nostrils as he glared at her.
Please let this be Brand, and not some other phoenix-stealing dragon shifter.
Kasia glared back but raised her hands off the steering wheel in a gesture of surrender.
