SYNOPSIS

Donati Bloodlines: Part 1

They’re not star-crossed—they’re impossible.

Bought and soon-to-be delivered, Emma Sorrento will be the next wife of a New York Don decades her senior. Not by choice, but as a mafia princess—was there ever one?

But the soul-black eyes of the man tasked with ensuring her safe arrival to the wedding of her nightmares tempts her like no other. In the worst possible way.

Calisto Donati. He’s entirely forbidden. The nephew of the man she’s supposed to marry. And just a touch from him could get her killed.

Is it worth it?

Now Emma has two problems. Saving herself from a marriage to a man she doesn’t want, and not falling in love with the one she does.

SYNOPSIS

Donati Bloodlines: Part Two

They’re not star-crossed—they’re impossible.

Calisto Donati is what every made man in the mafia should be, and then he broke his oath for a woman that wasn’t his.

Their secrets and games are deadly, but as hard as he tries to stay away from his boss’s new bride, the universe seems determined to keep bringing them back together. Trapped in a marriage that leaves Emma heartbroken and lonely, he’s often the only one left to pick up the pieces of what remains of a once vibrant woman.

Maybe his self-control would be better if he didn’t know the monster his uncle truly is—after all, Affonso Donati was the first hard lesson about life that Calisto had to learn.

These are the secrets of the Donati Bloodlines—where everything, even love, is a lie.

But how far will they go to keep it that way?

SYNOPSIS

Donati Bloodlines: Part 3

They’re not star-crossed—they’re impossible.

Emma Donati wasn’t given a choice in the end, and the one she was forced to make saved more lives than just hers. If only knowing that was enough to get her through the hell she’s currently living. Instead, she’s paying the price for the lies they’ve told, and the cost is unbearably high.

Some days, it feels like she imagined it all. Like everything with Calisto was a dream.

But they were real once. Even if now, he doesn’t remember any of it.

And if protecting the only thing she has left of him means lying to the one man who might be able to save her—so be it.

Except the truth still has consequences, and when Calisto finds out what she’s done … not even God will stop him.

Note: TW for miscarriage, child loss, and DV.

Release blitz - Captured by S. Nelson




Title: Captured
An Everyday Heroes World Novel
Author: S. Nelson
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 28, 2021


BLURB

To say I survived the unimaginable isn’t exactly accurate, because I didn’t. 
I’m alive. 
But I’m not living. 
I’m existing, clawing my way from one day to the next. 
My only saving grace is my job as a police officer, and it’s during a routine traffic stop one evening when the threads of my isolated existence begin to unravel. 
One glance from Quinn Harris and I feel like I’m dreaming. And the more chance brings us together, the more I’m powerless to stop the uneasy feeling that I’m losing control. 
She stirs up thoughts of something new and unexpected—of a life I’m no longer prepared to handle. 

*** 

I’m done with men. 
I trusted my ex and he broke my heart. 
But life doesn’t seem to want to follow my plan, which is evident the moment I meet Nolan Bennett. 
He doesn’t score high on first impressions. In fact, he is downright rude. 
But as we continue to run into each other, I start to see another side of him, and I can’t deny I’m intrigued. 
Against my better judgment, I give him a chance. 
But again, life will step in and take over. 
Only this time I don’t think either of us will survive. Not with an unknown link between us too painful to overcome.

EXCERPT

Beautiful weather used to enhance my good moods in the past, but seeing the sun shining brightly, high in the sky, and feeling the warm breeze on the side of my face as I drove only seemed to aggravate me. On the days when it was dark and gloomy, I felt harmony because my surroundings were reflective of the turmoil I constantly battled. I was more at peace when the world appeared desolate. 
When I finally arrived at the address, I took a moment before I exited my cruiser, calling on whatever hierarchy there was in the universe to give me the strength to complete my task. It’d gotten easier over time to deal with the public, but I still struggled with the interactions, although no one ever detected such a thing. Most just categorized me as an asshole, and I was fine with the assessment. 
Opening my door, I slid out of my seat and adjusted my duty belt as I rounded the back of the vehicle, flipping on my shades to shield my eyes from the blinding sun. Up ahead, I saw a woman standing in the archway of the complex. If she was aware of my presence, she didn’t show it, so I took the time to assess her, as I did everyone I came into contact with. 
She was thin, approximately five-six with long dark hair. She wore a black skirt, white top, and black heels. On her left wrist was a silver banded watch. She carried what looked to be a laptop case on her right shoulder. The closer I approached, the more I was able to see more of her, but it wasn’t until she turned to face me that I realized I’d seen her before. 
The prior evening, in fact. 
Standing near her now, in the light of day, in a drastically different scenario, a pang of remorse washed over me. To say feeling bad was an oddity for me was an understatement. I hardly ever gave people a second thought, let alone harbored any sense of guilt about my interactions. 
There was a chance she wouldn’t recognize me as the same officer who pulled her over last night. If that was the case, then I would remain as quiet as possible and get this over with quickly so I could get back to dealing with the rest of my day. 
Any hope I had that she viewed me as a complete stranger died when her eyes narrowed into slits and the corners of her mouth turned down. 
“This is just great,” she mumbled loud enough for me to hear, and I didn’t know if it was her tone or the blatant look of disgust on her face from having to stand near me, but a part of me that had been dormant for as long as I could remember flicked back to life during the unpleasant interaction. 
The moment was fleeting, but I held on to it for as long as possible before it faded into obscurity. The snarkiness in her voice pricked my senses. Everyone else I encountered either left me alone completely or engaged me briefly, their tones restrained and cautious, most likely because of my body language: that and the constant scowl on my face. 
But the woman standing ten feet from me piqued my curiosity, all while she treated me with an iota of disdain. 
Now, if she’d only stop glaring at me, I could attempt to make amends for last night.

Can she find the balance between love and ambition for a happily ever after? Tasha Matthews yearns to use her body and beauty to express her artistic aspirations, but her ambition and chosen path earn her the disapproval of her parents and the realization that the depth of her craft may never be truly understood by anybody. That is until she crosses paths with Jacob Allan, a talented artist that some would call a genius. He has yet to find a muse that matches his artistic prowess, but that changes as soon as he sees Tasha. Their meeting creates a perfect storm of art, passion, and desire, as both unearth what beauty is in its purest form.

Tasha will soon discover that love doesn’t always listen to reason and succumbing to desire often leads to complications. Her choices result in consequences that will follow her far into her future. No matter how hard she tries, Tasha can’t ever seem to sever her ties to Damien and Jacob, and the unexpected emergence of connections to her past may give her one last chance to achieve the love, happiness, and success she’s always dreamed of.

Teaser post - The things we leave unfinished by Rebecca Yarros

  THE THINGS WE LEAVE UNFINISHED by Rebecca Yarros Release Date: February 23rd   Add to Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53137938-the-things-we-leave-unfinished   PREORDER TODAY! Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3c4tab6 Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/2YFYold Amazon CA: https://amzn.to/2SwbAoS Amazon AU: https://amzn.to/2z5fuxU Nook: http://bit.ly/3s729w6 Apple Books: http://apple.co/3sdH7My Kobo: http://bit.ly/2LCdGCZ     Blurb: Told in alternating timelines, THE THINGS WE LEAVE UNFINISHED examines the risks we take for love, the scars too deep to heal, and the endings we can’t bring ourselves to see coming. Twenty-eight-year-old Georgia Stanton has to start over after she gave up almost everything in a brutal divorce—the New York house, the friends, and her pride. Now back home at her late great-grandmother’s estate in Colorado, she finds herself face-to-face with Noah Harrison, the bestselling author of a million books where the cover is always people nearly kissing. He’s just as arrogant in person as in interviews, and she’ll be damned if the good-looking writer of love stories thinks he’s the one to finish her grandmother’s final novel…even if the publisher swears he’s the perfect fit. Noah is at the pinnacle of his career. With book and movie deals galore, there isn’t much the “golden boy” of modern fiction hasn’t accomplished. But he can’t walk away from what might be the best book of the century—the one his idol, Scarlett Stanton, left unfinished. Coming up with a fitting ending for the legendary author is one thing, but dealing with her beautiful, stubborn, cynical great-granddaughter, Georgia, is quite another. But as they read Scarlett’s words in both the manuscript and her box of letters, they start to realize why Scarlett never finished the book—it’s based on her real-life romance with a World War II pilot, and the ending isn’t a happy one. Georgia knows all too well that love never works out, and while the chemistry and connection between her and Noah is undeniable, she’s as determined as ever to learn from her great-grandmother’s mistakes—even if it means destroying Noah’s career.         About the Author: Rebecca Yarros is the Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author of over fifteen novels, including Great and Precious Things and The Last Letter. “A gifted storyteller” (Kirkus), she is also the recipient of the Colorado Romance Writer’s Award of Excellence for Eyes Turned Skyward from her Flight and Glory series. Rebecca loves military heroes and has been blissfully married to hers for almost twenty years. She’s the mother of six children, ranging from kindergarten to law school, and is currently surviving the teenage years with three of her four hockey-playing sons. When she’s not writing, you can find her at the hockey rink or sneaking in some guitar time while guzzling coffee. She and her family live in Colorado with their stubborn English bulldogs, two feisty chinchillas, and a Maine Coon kitten named Artemis, who rules them all. Having fostered then adopted their youngest daughter who is nonverbal and on the autism spectrum, Rebecca is passionate about helping children in the foster system through her nonprofit, One October, which she co-founded with her husband in 2019.

EXCERPT

I lean back on my elbows and stare up at the sky. The stars twinkle and blink, and the endless abyss is a blanket of black, with slight hues of dark blue. The open space that allows me to see the countless constellations has me a little more mesmerized than I ought to be. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to see something that hasn’t been blocked by bars on the outside of a window. 
I’ll never take anything beautiful for granted. 
“It’s such a gorgeous night!” a sweet, harmonic voice says from out of nowhere. 
I sit up and glance around, staring back and forth to see if I can spot who the voice belongs to. I don’t see a damn thing. “Shit, maybe Reaper is right. I don’t need to be drinking right now.” I set the beer down and rub my eyes, fucking exhausted. It’s hard to sleep when my mind is always on, constantly with the thoughts, and battling the urge to not fucking lose it. 
A giggle from my left wakes me up. I stand and run down the steps, wondering where the hell it is coming from. 
“So much space!” The angelic tone is a song filtering through the exhaustion. 
She’s getting closer now. It’s cold out here, and dark. What if she’s lost? She’ll need help. I spin around again, staring over the outline of the cactuses, but then the scuff and grind of sand sounds from behind me. I turn, holding my breath when the faint glow of the porch light illuminates against platinum blonde hair. Her arms are above her head, and she’s smiling as if she isn’t in forty-degree weather wearing a black dress that blends in with the night. Her skin is the color of cream, the kind someone puts in their coffee. 
I’m enamored. 
I stand there, staring at the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen, watching her spin and dip like she’s a ballerina. Her movements are smooth and effortless, like waves in the sea, flowing in constant sets of perfection. One arm reaches out, like she’s stretching to touch an object that has her attention, and damn it, I wish it was me. Her back leg lifts and her dress dips low in the back and the material in the front falls over the leg on the ground. 
My thoughts start to race, imagining her in my arms in bed, kissing her plump lips that are red from the cold air of the night, grabbing her tits that bounce with every graceful move she makes, and wanting her to be mine. 
Only mine. 
It’s dangerous when a man like me wants so deeply because I don’t have the ability to let go. 
And I know if she were to ever be mine, I wouldn’t allow her to let go. 
I’d take her will. 
I’d take her freedom. 
I’d take. 
Until all there was in her world was me. All she could ever want is me.
