About The Auction by Eve Vaughn:

The Playboy…

In a society where the divide between the haves and the have nots is distinctly drawn, Foster Graham enjoys the privileges of the ruling class to the fullest. With looks, wealth and a place in society that gives him access to anything he wants, the world is his playground. But behind his easy smile and suave demeanor lurks a demon he’s managed to suppress. When a friend goes missing, he finds himself immersed in a world that forces him to unleash the darkness within.

The Captive…
Far removed from the glitzy lifestyle of the upper class, Tori Preston must fight daily for her survival. In order to support her family she is forced to participate in a barbaric ritual called The Run, for a second time. But she soon learns there are far worse things that could happen when she finds herself captured and sold off into a life of pure hell.

The Auction…
An underground organization formed by a group of depraved sadists once thought to be a ghost tale used to scare little children into behaving, no one believes in its actual existence. Tori, however, learns the hard way that this ‘bogey man’ is very much real.

Without hope, Tori fears she’ll never see her loved ones again, until she comes face to face with the only man who ever managed to touch her heart. Seeing the woman who has haunted his dreams since their parting, Foster is determined to save Tori and never let her go again. But they just might find that someone has other plans for them.

About Torn: A Dark BDSM Romance Novel (Shattered Lives Book 1) by Lexie Syrah:

For a limited time, Torn is listed as .99 on Amazon!

She was a young thing, a child really, full of hope and light, who’s only friends were the shadows on the walls. Others would have found the darkness that she traversed lacking in shadows, but she exuded an unearthly radiance, lighting the world with every step and bringing life to the shadows that lived only in the twilight between worlds. It was here that her friends came out to play and fed her soul with their love of her joy and the light she bore. For without light, there could be no shadows.

He, a man living in the light, found nothing in the darkness, though his eyes scoured it constantly for a kindred spirit. Always, he searched the void for someone to cling to, some kind of anchor for his soul. For he walked in the light only with help of a mask to hide behind. Under it hid an ethereal animal, primal in its needs and desires, which could not stand the light of day. If only there was one who could give him light without destroying the darkness that filled him so that he could finally be free.

This is the beginning of Mr. Sheffield and Maggie’s love story. It isn’t simple. It isn’t clean. Life’s not simple or clean, and a truly epic love story shouldn’t be either. Epic love must be forged in the fires of heartbreak, pain, and fear because love is no different than steel, and only the fire of a wounded soul can burn away the impurities.

Torn will pull you in with the steamy scenes of young Maggie learning about the dark world of BDSM by revealing the dark and primal man that lay behind Mr. Sheffield’s masks. Lust and passion abound in their pursuits of physical love, but always, there is a shadow hanging over them as she unravels Mr. Sheffield’s past.

But it is not the physical love that will force you to keep turning the pages. Other stories may bring you romance and candles, but this is a story with claws and teeth. It is raw. It is passion. It is real.

If you’re looking for a story that will warm your heart and make you see the good in the world, look elsewhere. This is about the darkness that lies behind the mask that we all wear. It is about the animal inside each of us. And yet, you’ll wish that you were the one lying underneath Mr. Sheffield as the mask comes off and the cuffs wrap around your wrists and ankles. You’ll know that pain will follow, but in the end, you know that passion and pleasure will never fail to fill your body, mind, and soul…

Author Bio:
I’m Lexie Syrah, a new erotica author who, like so many others, dreams of filling her days writing stories that make you crave release so badly that you’ll beg to be f***ed into oblivion. My Master is my husband, and I write my stories because he enjoys reading them so much. I live a Master/slave lifestyle that so many of my books are based on. BDSM is not a scene for me; it is my life. When people talk about things such as subspace and submission, I can relate to them, but I have more or less always lived in these states.

I’m a woman who loves a good cup of coffee anytime, day or night, an evening hike in the Green Belt around our Austin home, and secret love for silent films (A Trip to the Moon and Nosferatu are my favorites). I’ve spent entire weekends playing video games with Master, and other weekends, I’ve spent traveling around the country on spontaneous road trips. I’m free-spirited, and my favorite thing to do (other than Master, of course) is to see and experience new things. I love to enjoy every day, regardless of what it brings.

I have always been an avid reader and writer and have a special place in my heart for Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. I had dreams as a child, long before I’d ever heard of vampires, of people just like Lestat, Armand, and Marius, and there’s a part of me that still has little hope that vampires are real, however, silly that may seem to others.

Master is a kind and gentle man until the wild animal inside of him comes out, and then he ravishes me without any concern other than his own. Being used like this puts me into a place of pure bliss, and I couldn’t imagine being with anyone else. He is my world, and I am his.

When he told me that I should start writing stories for him, I started by sending him emails before he woke up with little fantasy scenes of what I wanted him to do to me, and he quickly replaced those fantasies with shocking realities that ended with me screaming in ecstasy. He started to critique my stories, saying that I wasn’t exploring enough of myself, and I began to reach deeper into my soul to find the parts of me that I hadn’t even known were there. I started writing stories that weren’t as simple, weren’t as easy to throw together in 20 minutes. They led to conversations and personal discovery as well as earth-shattering orgasms that he so kindly gave to me. These stories started to grow in length, and after they had begun to take multiple hours to write, he told me that I should investigate self-publishing, which has led me here.

I started to publish stories and had a very welcoming reception to the process. I talked to people who had read my stories, and they told me some of theirs. Because I love to experience new things, we, of course, tried to live out as many of these fantasies as we could and have created many wonderful memories in the process.

I am a very social girl and enjoy talking to new people. If you’re ever in the mood to say anything, please send me a message on Twitter, my email, or on my website.

Since publishing my first story, I’ve realized that this is what I was meant to do. All of my life, I’ve wondered how I would ever have a lifestyle that revolved around my primal need for sexual indulgence, and writing erotica and dark, steamy real-life romance has given me that chance. So, here I am, a slave that’s reality has become far more perfect than she could have ever dreamed!

About A Soldier’s Promise:

Keeping promises is important to Ryan, but keeping his promise to his younger brother David will be hard. David’s final wish is for Ryan to watch over his wife and daughter, but Ryan’s been in love with Shannon for years. This holiday season, Ryan will learn he can keep his promise and still have his heart’s desire.

Excerpt –
“I wasn’t going to dance with him.” Their gazes held for a long moment before Shannon asked softly, “Can I ask you a question, Ryan?”

“Sure.”

“Is the only reason we’re dancing now because you felt duty bound to protect me?”

His surprised expression revealed it was the last thing he expected her to ask, as they swayed slowly beneath the dim lights. The wood dance floor was crowded, forced them to remain in a tight circle, and Shannon closer against him. The masculine scent of soap and man assailed her senses, drugging her until she was under his spell. Desire began to weave slowly through her system, intensifying when she felt his arousal.

“What do you think?”

She took a deep breath, as though to draw courage from it. “I think you’re a very honorable man. And because of that you’d protect anyone weaker than you, even someone you don’t particularly like.”

His gaze narrowed on her like a hawk zeroing in on prey. “You think I don’t like you?” Shannon’s first thought was to say no, only how could she say that when his arousal was pressing against her? “I’m not sure what you feel about me, after all, we don’t know each other very well. But I get the impression that you don’t want to like me. Does being around me remind you too much of David? I know it must be painful…”

The mention of his brother’s name turned his expression to stone. A muscle began to twitch in his taut jaw. “Don’t mention David’s name again when you’re in my arms, Shannon,” he muttered through clenched teeth. The glare in his eyes held her captive. “You think I don’t like you? What is my body telling you?”

Shannon trembled from his words and lust rippled through her body in pleasurable waves. Her nipples hardened and tingled against Ryan’s chest. She was speechless, unsure if she should be offended or thrilled. She averted her gaze, afraid he would see the effect he was having on her.

As they continued to turn slowly around on the dance floor, her gaze sought out the rest of the family, thankful no one was paying them any mind. Her breathing accelerated. She was thankful the lighting in the bar was dim and when the song ended, she stepped out of Ryan’s arms.

Before she made a fool of herself.

About The Ruin of Gabriel Ashleigh:

Passion is on the cards for two reckless rogues as K. J. Charles ups the ante in her Society of Gentlemen series with a sizzling eBook short story.

The youngest son and the blackest sheep in his family, Lord Gabriel Ashleigh never imagined he could sink so low. Though he’s a notoriously bad gambler, he takes on the formidable but strangely alluring Francis Webster, only to lose everything: all his money, the lovely estate he inherited from his aunt, and any hope of future happiness. So it’s a shock when Webster summons him to a private game for a chance to win back his possessions. The stake? If he fails, Ash must surrender his body.

Francis has been waiting years for this moment. At Eton, Ash’s elder brother harassed him relentlessly. Now, consumed by lust and rage, Francis is only too happy to exploit Ash’s foolish indiscretions. But as Francis strips the magnificently built youth—first of his family assets, then his clothes—he begins to wonder whether he’s been plotting revenge . . . or exquisite seduction.

About His Best Friend’s Girl, Cathryn Fox:

Skylar Redmond’s Sky Bar is regularly wall-to-wall hot soldiers. Yet she is alone—and getting tired of it. Forget about finding a man who’ll rock her world in the bedroom. She’ll settle for a guy who’s stable, kind and compassionate.

Too bad that guy still sees her as the pigtailed girl from their youth, not the strong woman she is today. But maybe, with a little help, that’ll change.

As an ex-military field ambulance technician, Matt James excels at performing under pressure. Pretending to be interested in Skylar to help her capture the attention of his best friend? Piece of cake—because he won’t be faking it. He’s been in love with her since their school yard days, but never pushed it. She deserves someone who can offer her more.

A touch leads to a kiss, and a kiss to a night that throws a kink—or three—into Sky’s plan. Leaving her wondering if she’s going for the wrong man…and letting the right one slip through her fingers.

Not surprisingly, college yielded bachelors and masters degrees in IT for him, which has come in handy when describing futuristic nano systems that haven’t been invented yet.

He enjoys using his powers for good, especially in the craft of storytelling – dreaming up the barely possible, and then placing the reader right in the middle of the action.

Writing is also a great reason to stay inside, in the AC, away from the hot Texas sun where he lives with his beautiful wife, two children and one feisty cat.

About The Beast of the North:

The land that god Odin once molded to his liking has been separated from the gods for thousands of years. All the Nine Worlds and sundered by the ancient Hel’s War, but in Midgard, the years have passed relatively peacefully. Men govern men, and there are wars, there is peace and life goes on.

Yet, for Red Midgard, times are indeed changing. The harsh, freedom-loving northern land faces the animosity of the mighty High King, but also a threat of war with its few allies, as King Morag is rumored to look for any reason to go to war with those he should keep close. Maskan and Sand, thieves of Dagnar, discover a web of conspiracies to topple the king before it is too late, and soon, they have a good reason to tie their fates with those who would fight the king.

But not all is as it seems, and layers of truths and lies make the road dark and dangerous. Our heroes must navigate very murky waters of betrayal, elemental magic, love, and loyalty to save their land and to find revenge.

About Mediterranean Diet for Beginners and Pros by Travis MacKensie:

The Mediterranean Diet has been around for a while now and has garnered rave reviews from many. It’s because it’s a diet that is healthy without being extremist and has basically come about by studying the eating habits of healthy people living in the region of the Mediterranean. This area contains locations like Southern Italy, Spain and Greece and parts of the Middle East and Northern Africa.

These are countries and locations that have been known for centuries for their great food. But what was also noticed was that people that lived in these areas tended to have better health and weight loss without a lot of the issues with diet that are common in many other areas of the world.

Scientist and doctors decided to study why this was and they discovered that the kind of food that was eaten in this area, along with the lifestyle, contributed to long lasting health and overall longevity.

There are many things that make Mediterranean Diet Recipes and Cooking popular. First of all, you basically lose weight by changing your eating habits and eating Mediterranean style dishes. So that means that calories and carbs counting isn’t as important, because these foods are naturally low in calories and high in nutrition.

Unlike other diets that are restrictive, Mediterranean cooking takes a well balanced view of foods that you already may be eating. For instance, bread and bread products are allowed. The suggestion is to eat whole grain breads, not white processed bread. Also, you’re trading bad fats for good fats. Olive oil is the staple and backbone of a lot of Mediterranean recipes. So, by simply switching from say trans fats, to olive oil, you’re already winning the war against bad fats in your diet.

You have a lot of lee way and variety with Mediterranean recipes. Considering the countries they come from you can be having Greek foods one day, Spanish the next and Middle Eastern on another. All these foods complement each other.

In the Mediterranean Diet for Beginners and Pros cookbook, I have included recipes for all the common meals you have during the day, from breakfast to dinner and everything else in between. They are designed to be easy to make and be delicious at the same time. Some of the topics covered are

Breakfast
Soups
Dressings
Sides
Salads
Appetizers
Main Meals

All of the recipes have nutritional information to help you make decisions about your caloric intake on a daily basis.

If you’re already familiar with the Mediterranean cooking, you’re bound to find new recipes to add to your collections of meals. If you’re just beginning, or you’re trying the Mediterranean diet for weight loss, I’ll take you step by step on how to create these delicious dishes and start you on the road to healthy and satisfying eating.

You don’t have to make great sacrifices and you don’t have to starve yourself. You just have to change the foods that you’re currently eating for healthier foods that are tasty and fun to eat and fun to make.

So what are you waiting for?? Start eating Mediterranean foods and get on the road to a healthy weight and a healthy heart and mind, all a benefit of this fantastic way of eating.

About The Women of The Rose:

Texas women have a well-earned reputation for big hair, big hearts and Texas-sized tenacity. The Women of The Rose is the story of such women — the kind who didn’t let the “little” things like no money, no experience with non-profits, and no breaks in the glass ceiling keep them from launching what has become a 30-year investment in life-saving women’s health. In this collection of stories from co-founder Dorothy Gibbons you will discover what it took to face naysayers, build a legacy, and even take on what once was a death sentence for 1000s of women.

The Story: By the mid 1980’s the oil bust had paralyzed Texas. Folks were out of work, most had lost their health insurance and many were losing their homes. In the midst of all the chaos and uncertainty, the incidence of breast cancer began its deadly climb. Poor and uninsured women were hit the hardest and many died because they couldn’t get help in time. At a chance meeting in 1984, hospital public relations director Dorothy Gibbons and general surgeon Dr. Dixie Melillo were challenged by the famed journalist Rose Kushner to do something about it. So they decided to start their own non-profit, a diagnostic clinic that would care for the thousands of Texas women who had nowhere else to turn and who would die without help. At a time when succeeding as a non-profit was against all the odds, The Rose was born.

From its humble beginnings in a tiny office in a strip mall, The Rose now serves 40,000 people a year, women from all walks of life, from huge cities or small rural communities who face falling through the cracks of the healthcare system. This is the story of how The Rose was born and how it survived, a story of strong, determined women who did whatever it took to care for one other. It is the story of shrimp boils and skydiving, of pink goats and the pain of watching so many die. It is the story of unfathomable generosity, unexpected corruption, and the hard truth about who can afford healthcare and who can’t. It is a story about the power of believing and a salute to the courage and tenacity of women.

“The Women of The Rose” will be available for Free Download October 27-29, 2015.

About Gladiator Bear’s Battle by Anya Nowlan:

Kiya was once a princess of Egyptian royalty, but now she is no more than a slave girl in Rome. Working for a wealthy family, she can only expect a quiet life of servitude. But a wild heart is hard to force quietly into a cage. It only takes one bear of a man to remind her the spirit she has hidden away in her.

Erden is a warrior reduced to a life in the gladiator arenas. Fighting for his right to draw breath, the weathered werebear has long given up on a better future.

About A Highlander’s Heart:

The Warrior…
Major Sir Robert Campell is a hero to the Scots and English alike. He’s revered for his prowess as a leader and a soldier. He takes control of any troublesome situation…except when it involves the beautiful English woman who stole his heart four years ago.

The Lady…
Lady Claire Campbell was smitten the moment she laid eyes on Rob. Who can resist a powerful Highland Warrior in a kilt? Especially one who has the rugged face of a god and can’t take his eyes off you…

Time and tragedy have torn Rob and Claire apart, and now Rob is going to the Continent to fight a brutal battle against Napoleon and the French. Claire follows him, desperate to heal what has broken between them. But some wounds go deeper than blows Rob receives on the battlefield. And some wounds can never be healed.
