Release Boost – Clinch by Kathy Coopmans

Published on by Ryna @ Echos Of BooksLeave a comment

Title: Clinch Series: The Diamond Empire Author: Kathy Coopmans

Romantic Suspense, Mafia Romance

Clinch is the next standalone, emotional romance in USA Today bestselling author Kathy Coopmans’ The Diamond Empire Series

There’s danger in stringing a person along. In making promises and not delivering. In breaking their heart when all you want to do is own it for the rest of your life. Cherish it. Worship at their feet. Before they grew tired of the game, said they’d had enough, they shared pieces of themselves they’d never shared with anyone else. They accepted your lies and excuses about why you didn’t want to make your relationship public until finally realizing they were nothing more than empty words. I know that danger because it’s what I did, and it didn’t matter that I shattered my own heart in the process. What mattered was how deeply I broke hers. Every time I told Cara I was sorry, that she needed to trust me because I loved her and would never intentionally hurt her, felt like a cancer eating me from the inside out. It ravaged me. Ruined me. I should have been straight with her from the beginning. Should have known eventually she’d grow tired of it. Instead, I piled the lies so high I couldn’t repeat them if I tried. I should have stuck to the plan, exacted my revenge before I risked losing her altogether. Now, it might be too late.

AUTHOR BIO

Paramedic by day, dirty smut writer by night. I write dark, contemporary erotic romance. I’m an avid reader of anything dark and if I’m not writing, you can usually find me making a large dent in my TBR.
I’m a lover of strong heroines who find their own hot, sexy, alpha males who might be a tad bit over possessive. I love to lose myself in my character’s flaws and vulnerabilities as well as their strengths and the darkness that surrounds them.
There is no shame found here, and I often get lost when writing out those erotic, steamy scenes that make women’s (and men’s) fantasies come true.
I currently reside in the beautiful state of Washington with her two dogs and my dream of quitting my day job and traveling the world while writing.

BOOK BLITZ ~  Mine to Protect by Emily A. Myers 

Published on by Ryna @ Echos Of BooksLeave a comment

Mine to Protect
Emily A. Myers
Publication date: December 1st 2022
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Mafia, Romance

From award-winning author, Emily A. Myers, comes a standalone, full-length Mafia Romance novel.

Alister Amato is rich, powerful, and feared by all who know the truth. He’s the Blood King, a mafia boss with a lust for blood and an infinite reach. Everything in me screams I should stay away. But when my Organized Crime Task Force is called to investigate the slaughter of a rival criminal syndicate, I know that isn’t an option. The way the men were killed is something I’ve only seen once before—eighteen years ago when my mother was murdered and I was orphaned. I don’t know how my mother wound up in the clutches of the mafia. But, after all this time, I will stop at nothing to discover the truth. Even if it means aligning myself with the dangerous, mysterious, and undeniably handsome, Blood King.

They call me King, but I am nothing but a prisoner. The world of darkness I belong to has stolen everything from me—my mother, my sister, my happiness, my freedom. Most of all, it has stolen my ability to love. If it weren’t for my sister, Sophia, I would walk away from the throne I never wanted and let New Orleans burn. But even that would not set me free. My name and my blood have placed a target on my back and cursed anyone who stands beside me to the same fate. Which is why when FBI agent Ariana Valentine weasels her way into my life and heart, I do everything I can not to fall for her. My love is a death sentence. And, after everything this world has taken from me, I won’t let it take her too. Even if it means I have to walk away from the only woman I’ve ever allowed myself to love.

STANDALONE – DUAL POV – ITALIAN MAFIA – FORBIDDEN LOVE – SLOW BURN

EXCERPT:

From Alister’s POV:

With each passing year, my family loses a member. My mother was killed when I was sixteen during a botched hit meant to take out my entire family. My father died last year, nearly twenty years after my mother. Unlike the bullet that took her from, cancer was his poison. And my sister Cara, she was taken in the night from her dorm room shortly after my father died and I came to power. The rest you already know. Except, perhaps, one thing, the most important thing. Why?

Why would someone put a hit on my family? Why would my eighteen-year-old sister be ripped from her bed, sold into sex slavery, and killed? It’s because of our blood. We are the Amatos, the gatekeepers of the criminal underworld stretching from the Texas border all the way to the Florida Keys. For the innocent, we are the only thing standing between them and full on anarchy. Though, they wouldn’t know it. For those privy to this world of darkness to which I unfortunately belong, we are royalty. And like the kings and queens of the past, we are flush with wealth and connections carefully attained by our ancestors and modern-day business deals that help keep our illegal drug trade secret. Our wealth and reputations accompanied by our unique network of connections in Mexico, the Caribbean, Chicago, and New York City make us targets of those looking to make a name for themselves among the world’s most dangerous and vile. But what was once a powerful and untouchable dynasty is now only a brother and sister desperately trying to survive.

RELEASE BLITZ ~ My Fight by Samantha Skye

Published on by Ryna @ Echos Of BooksLeave a comment



Title: My Fight
Series: Men of New York #3
Author: Samantha Skye
Genre: Mafia Romance
Release Date: October 26, 2022


BLURB

I’m used to helping people fight for their lives. But I’ve never had anyone in my corner before…

The ER department is chaotic and intimidating to most. But for me, it’s one of the few places where I don’t feel like a disappointment. Heading up the team of a busy Philadelphia hospital isn’t exactly a picnic, but I’m confident here. Untouchable.

That is, until Carter Grange walks through the door.

He might be a little banged up, but that doesn’t stop his muscular frame rippling with power — or his deep blue eyes from piercing my soul. Carter is definitely not the sort of man I need right now, but when we find ourselves thrust together again by pure chance…well, the chemical pull is irresistible.

Problem is, I have a messy past snapping at my heels, and a young daughter to protect from its clutches. This tattooed mobster isn’t the kind of man I should be playing house with.

But when push comes to shove, will Carter step into the ring for us?

My Fight is book three of the Men of New York series by Samantha Skye. It is a suspenseful, single parent, opposites attract, reverse age-gap, dual POV mafia romance.
Contains explicit sex scenes and violence – 18+.

Title: Ruined Kingdom
Series: Ruined Kingdom Duet #1
Author: Natasha Knight
Genre: Dark Mafia/MFM Romance
Cover Design: Deranged Doctor
Release Date: November 1, 2022


BLURB

I never imagined my first trip to Italy would be to bury my father. But I stood alone in the cathedral with my father’s casket and a handful of soldiers to keep me safe.

It didn’t occur to me that anyone would disrupt the sanctity of the church. Would march in, weapons in hand and turn my world upside down.

But the Caballero brothers have little regard for the church and even less for my family.

They destroyed what peace I had.
They desecrated my father’s body.
And they took me for themselves.

I’m a princess in a tower in a breathtaking villa.
My bedroom overlooks the turquoise sea, but the door is locked.

And I have to contend with not one but two dragons.

Sometimes being in the wrong place at the wrong time leads you exactly where you’re needed most…

Lily
Turns out, the rumors about my ruthless boss were true. He’s mafia.
And I just witnessed something that could ruin his life…and mine. So, imagine my surprise when instead of killing me, he kidnaps me.
Now, I’m on a secluded island with a man who should terrify me.
But he doesn’t.
Because he’s different here. Here, I see a man so beautifully broken I’m starting to feel things I know I shouldn’t.
He stole my freedom… I can’t let him steal my heart too.

Alessandro
If anyone else had witnessed what she did, they’d be dead.
But when the time came to pull the trigger, I couldn’t do it.
So, I made her my captive.
I know that sharing this place with her, letting her know my dark secrets, gives her too much power—and I can’t afford another weakness. Letting her live threatens everything.
And none of that matters when I see her smile…
