**COVER REVEAL With Giveaway** And The Creek Don't Rise by R.M. Gilmore





 Blurb:

On her twentieth birthday, Lynnie Russell—just a little ol’ thing from down in Havana, Arkansas—falls in love under a full silver moon.

When she wakes up the next morning naked and caked in blood, Lynnie is faced with a horrifying truth. She’s death incarnate.

In a race to unearth what she’s become, Lynnie must hide her beastly thing from those she loves most. If only to keep them alive.

When an unexpected ally offers help, how can she refuse?

 


Synopsis:

Small town girl, Lynnie Russell, wakes after a late night celebrating her twentieth birthday, naked and caked in blood. As memories rush back to her, the horrifying reality of what she’s done—what she’s become—rips her soul to shreds.

To keep those she loves safe, Lynnie must race to unearth the source of the death magic inside her—discovering an ancient familial secret Nana and Mama had kept her whole life.

Understanding her place in the balance of the universe—exacting vengeance on those most vile—Lynnie grows desperate for the power of knowledge.

When an unexpected ally offers help, there’s no way she can refuse. Choosing to leave the home she’s known since birth, Lynnie will travel to the ends of the earth in search of the truth. Not only for herself, but for the future of her bloodline.



Excerpt

I listened to him breathe for a solid few minutes. I knew Rusty well enough to know when he sat still, just breathing slow and soft, he was thinking. Sometimes he was just thinking about what was for dinner, but that night sitting on that rock with me, he was thinking about his future. It rolled off him, steam from hot skin on a cold night.

“Rusty?”

“Yeah?”

I waited long enough to finish my thought that he turned to look at the side of my head and watched me say, “I wish you weren’t so mean to me.”

“I was a kid, Lynn,” he said, his voice desperate.

“You’re a man now, Rusty.”

“Yeah.” He turned on the rock to face me, taking up too much space on the one-person seat. Clenched cheeks clung to the rough surface for dear life. “I ain’t mean to you like that anymore. I’m just teasing. And you’re mean to me. I tried to say something nice about your hair tonight and you told me to shut up.”

I looked up at the moon. “What else was I supposed to say?”

“Thank you. Just say thank you.”

Our voices had grown louder and echoed back at us. “Well… I don’t know how to be with you any other way,” I said hushed.

“I ain’t expecting you to.”

“What are you expecting?” I turned to look him in the eye. His face just inches from mine.

“Nothing. Sure as hell not this.” He waved his hand through the dark. Moonlight gleamed off his blue eyes.

I looked away before truth spilled out of my mouth. “Garret told me….”

He got quiet, still. “Yeah?”

“Yup.”

“Is that why you’re out here with me?”

“Mostly.”

He sighed. “Fuck.” Water splashed between us when he kicked his foot. “Damn it, Garret,” he mumbled.

“It’s fine.”

“No.”

“Yes. Someone had to have the balls to say it.”

“I have balls,” he shouted, and his echo said it three more times.

“Not enough to tell me you love me.” I swallowed the word, but it bobbed in the back of my throat, threatening to spill out.

I turned to look at him. His mouth hung open. No words escaped. Tan skin was muted in the moonlight, but his eyes sparkled. Bright white and ocean blue.

One breath. Two. “I gotta take a leak.” He waded out of the lake and ran over to a tall tree that stood just in front of a set of head-high bushes. He turned his back to me.

“Just piss in the lake like the fish do, Rusty.” My voice echoed through the tight inlet. Our echoes made me nervous, like someone was gonna come out of the woods and catch me naked in the lake watching Rusty let loose a six-pack onto a tree.

I could hear his pee hit the ground and tried not to laugh when he said, “I ain’t pissing in there while you’re in there.”

“Since when?” Whether the emergency piss break was necessary or not, he’d successfully avoided the subject. I slid off the rock and let cool water cover my chest.

From the corner of my eye, I watched the top of his butt cheeks peek out from the waistband of his skivvies, two divots overtop. I wondered how I’d feel about him when morning came, when I wasn’t drunk.

**BOOK TOUR WITH REVIEW** Scandalous Prince by Rachel Van Dyken

 


"Stop what you're doing and read Scandalous Prince by Rachel Van Dyken RIGHT NOW! It's action packed with plenty of secrets and full of smoldering romance! If you love mafia romance, you will LOVE this book!" - New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy

Scandalous Prince by Rachel Van Dyken is now live!

A mafia romance about secrets and soulmates by Rachel Van Dyken, the number one New York Times bestselling author of the Eagle Elite series.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep and miles to go, before I sleep. --Robert Frost

I was born under fire and swore to protect her until my dying day, I just never knew that one day, I'd be the very monster I was protecting her from.

She didn't know it was me.

She didn't know that I had no choice and would do it again and again to save her.

I may as well have given her the mark on her finger.

The one that shows where her loyalty must lie.

Because we don't sin in silence.

And eventually, you have to pay up what you owe.

My need to protect her turned into a lie to save her.

And when she found out--I turned in to the very monster I was trying to protect her from.

Watching Violet Abandonato walk out of my life was like a knife to the chest, a wound that refused to heal.

The bosses sent me to protect her, to watch over her even though I was the demon she fled.

We both carry scars.

But if all I can have is her hate for as long as I breathe.

I'll take it.

Because at the end of the day, I should burn in Hell forever thinking Chase Abandonato's perfect angel would pick me--over her perfect life.

"I broke you," I confessed.

"The worst part... is that you liked it," she snapped right back.

Welcome to the second generation of the mafia, may the best man or woman, be left standing.

May God bless our tainted souls.

Tonya's Review
5 Stars
Wow, just wow!  I loved the Eagle Elite series, but this next generation may just top them (okay, not really, but very very close)
Just a warning, this review will be vague and probably won't make much sense until after your read this book.
This is Breaker, Violet, and Valarian.  It's not a triangle!  Chase would kill them all, including Violet!  
Breaker is Tex's adopted son.  Violet is Chase's daughter.  I'm not saying anything about Valarian.
Okay, time for the vague part.
Have you ever read a book that you can't put down, but you have to stop reading because you don't want something to happen? That's this book!
I had a ton of "It's..."  "no, it can't be..." moments.  I went back and forth.
The story is freaking amazing, so is the writing.  You will get sucked right in.  Rachel can weave one heck of a story.
Blood in, No out!

**COVER REVEAL** Repeat Offender by Lani Lynn Vale

 


Repeat Offender

Souls Chapel Revenants MC Book 1

Lani Lynn Vale

Release Date: January 12, 2021

 


About the Book

Lynnwood Thatcher Windsor has lived a lot of lies. Seen a lot of good men go down.

 

But he will not stand by and watch as the world he’s built from the ground up burns to ashes before his eyes. Even if he has to build an army to combat the problem he sees brewing around him.

 

One step at a time, he carefully lays out his plan, building layer after careful layer until everything is where he wants it to be.

 

Every part is impeccably played, his pawns are in the perfect place, and then she barrels into his life, totally scattering every single piece he’s set in motion.

 

The bad thing is, she doesn’t even realize how badly she’s messed up until she’s roused the beast.

 

***

 

The day that Six Ines Broussard met Lynnwood Thatcher Windsor was the worst day of her life.

 

First, she has a public breakup with a man she’s not even dating. Second, she has to deal with a black-tie event that she’d rather gouge her eyes out than to go to. Third, she then has to sit at a table for hours on end with the one man she despises.

 

Just wanting a break, she thinks she’ll lose herself for a few hours and do what she loves to do best—spend time by herself and go for a walk in the middle of nowhere, spot some birds, and get a little sun. Only, her day doesn’t go nearly as planned.

 

She walks right into the middle of hell. And at the center of it? Lynnwood Thatcher. The mayor. The man that she took one glance at on the night of his inauguration and dismissed as boring. A total stick in the mud.

 

Only, he’s not so boring shirtless, in the middle of nowhere, doing things that are very illegal.

 

At first, she’s appalled. Then her interest gets piqued. Stuck-up suit is hot! And he has tattoos. Oh, and let’s not forget one hell of a mouth on him!

 

Then he goes and kidnaps her, and she realizes that nobody is quite as hot as you thought they were when they’re now holding you hostage.

**COVER REVEAL** Mafia Casanova by M. Robinson & Rachel Van Dyken

 

Release Date: November 17

From Bestselling Authors M. Robinson & Rachel Van Dyken comes a full length, standalone romantic suspense novel 
_______________________________

Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?

Can you get anymore cliche? I’d heard that damn phrase my entire life.
Most of the time, it was when a woman was mid-orgasm—or, when I was about to take someone’s life.
You see, we all have our demons.
Apparently, my name was mine. Though it didn’t help me get my answers any faster.

I nodded when I was supposed to.
I smirked when I needed to.
I complimented when the timing was right.

Then… I’d send them to hell after giving them nothing but heaven.
I should’ve felt guilt.
I didn’t.
Because I was good at what I did.

Making people believe what I wanted them to was an art I perfected. In a world where nothing mattered but staying at the top, I made sure no one slipped through my fingers.

Except for her
She was gorgeous.
One might say she was the female version of me.
I lost her once.
I wouldn’t lose twice.

Now was the time…

To let the games begin.
