The Knight Must Die by Aviv Geva

About The Knight Must Die by Aviv Geva

ISRAELI BESTSELLER NOW IN ENGLISH!

“Have you ever asked yourselves if you believe in love at first sight? I never asked and was never eager to find out. I was living in a world where my biggest challenges surrounded work, whether or not to call a specific girl, loving my boss, hating her, or ignoring her. Dying to fuck her on the conference room table or up against the photocopier in the corridor, not capable of touching her with a guide dog for the blind — regular and mundane matters of any normal person in his twenties. It never occurred to me that I would concern myself with fateful questions, questions of life and death. I certainly didn’t imagine that this would be my life or death. I most definitely didn’t imagine that I would choose death. But if I hadn’t been preoccupied with choosing the preferable way of dying, it seems I would never have known if there is such a thing as love at first sight or not. Were it not for the intervention of the God of Fates himself, I would have been just another guy who had never felt anything in his life, who never experienced the most enchanted moment of all. Suddenly, every refusal of hers is interpreted as a nod. Every receding step seems like lips drawing closer for a kiss. There blows the Goddess of Love and Emotion and a fix of her hair makes your heart skip a beat. A fraction of a smile is everything you could ever wish for. And so, when you but allow this wandering spirit in front of you to acknowledge that this very moment the moon is shining down on the most beautiful evening of her life, you suddenly understand that all the rejections in your life so far have been nothing but pleading smiles, that knew deep down in their hearts that your love wasn’t meant for them, but for her alone.
One thing is certain, no matter how much you will be told otherwise. Behind every common womaniser stands a woman who has ripped his heart apart.”

All These Worlds by Chris Pra

About All These Worlds by Chris Pra

Series description:
All These Worlds presents a unique concept in contemporary M/M fiction: follow the two protagonists through multiple worlds and narratives. Think of each book as an AU: an Alternative Universe in which the characters meet under different circumstances.

Meet the protagonists: Faiz Khan and David Asakho Kire. Faiz is 6’1, of mixed Muslim and Sikh descent. He has unruly shoulder-length curls, shoulders broad enough to carry the weight of the world, and zero effs to give for anyone’s BS. David, known affectionately by his middle name to those belonging to his Angami Naga Indigenous community (and anyone else who has the privilege) is 6’3, rather willowy (he will hurt you if you describe him as such), and demisexual AF. Travel along with them in their multiple journeys and avatars as space travellers, vampires, werewolves (Alpha-Omega dynamics, anyone?), a BDSM-verse, and much more, stories that always have at least one thing in common: their bond.

Love in the Life of Spies by Frank Thomas Smith

About Love in the Life of Spies by Frank Thomas Smith

Love in the Life of Spies is, as its title suggests, a love story between two spies during the Cold War, an East German woman and an American man, each working for their respective opposing clandestine agencies and, therefore, against each other. Their meetings, seemingly accidental, unfold over years in the United States, Germany, Argentina, Paraguay and, finally, serve only to reveal an uncertain future. It asks the question: is such a love viable under such complicated and adverse geopolitical circumstances? Or was it meant to be – at least as a possibility – according to karma’s blueprint. The answer, although not definitive, is maybe, or even yes involving, strangely enough, Anthroposophy.

GRAND FINALE

About GRAND FINALE

SAL PEPITONE is 76 years old with eight strokes under his belt. Back in the day, he was a guy with minor league notoriety, back when the papers used to label him with terms like gangster, mobster, known underworld figure, etcetera.And yes, it’s true that Sal was pretty well connected back then, back when the Genovese crime family ran Jersey City…

But Sal was never really the muscle, he was generally more of a numbers guy. His only major convictions were for tax-related nonsense, nothing violent. And his one big regret is how he left things back in the summer of ’79. That was the summer that Sal was sent to the beautiful island town of Port Hannasquat to burn down a United States Senator’s vacation home. That was the summer he fell in love with Evelyn Parks.

EVELYN PARKS was just a kid back then. 22 years old, fresh out of school, one foot in the door of her old man’s law firm and the other one pointed toward art school. She was smart and beautiful and going through a wild phase. Sometimes back then, she’d break into people’s houses. She never took anything, she just got a kick out of looking around. Back then, a lot of people just left their doors open…

Now Evelyn is 66. She’s got three kids, two grandkids, a perfectly respectable boyfriend and plenty of money. But around the time she became a grandmother, Evelyn developed a strangely powerful Intuition, a gift that tells her things she couldn’t possibly know, and shows her the days she hasn’t yet lived.

MICHAEL DOHERTY is Sal’s grandson, technically. They barely know each other. The only thing Michael really does know is that Sal can’t be trusted. So when Sal claims to have only four days left to live, Michael thinks he’s bluffing…

But Sal also claims to have $100,000 hidden away in a safety deposit box, courtesy of the late Frank Sinatra. And that gets Michael’s attention. All Sal wants in return is a lift to Port Hannasquat. Considering Michael is out of work and newly single, the timing is actually pretty decent. That hundred grand would come in handy.

MERDITH RICHARDS is Michael’s best friend. Most people call her Ricky. She’s a Brooklyn songwriter who needs four grand to pay off a recording studio. And even though Ricky doesn’t believe in love, she’s a sucker for romance- especially the doomed, scandalous, star-crossed variety. So when Michael and Sal plot a course to Port Hannasquat, Ricky wants in…

But this little road trip is going to get awfully bumpy, especially when the law comes knocking on their door. And considering Sal is technically an escaped con, the law is gonna knock pretty hard.

However, just as she is settling into this new way of life, everything starts to shift. She soon learns that she has been a part of this world all along and holds the ability of seeing future events and remotely viewing past and present events as they occurred, ranging powerfully long distances. She is becoming aware of the importance of her gifts and is now being hunted by rival leaders in order to use her visions for their own gains and to prevent any rulers of Ozam from having any future insight from her.

Abby is assigned under the protection of Kaden Zoraan until they can stop her hunters, and though their relationship is strictly forbidden, they are inexplicably drawn to each other.

Can Kaden keep her safe despite his growing feelings for her, or will she fall prey to those who find her?

College-Virgin & Dark Bully Next-Door by Kathilee Riley

FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME…
That devil’s spawn is back in town.
His body shredded with muscles from the boxing ring. Dark as the midnight that brought him back home. Gorgeous on the outside, but beneath the surface lies a monster.
Ashton Warren. The villain next door.
Four years ago, he was my brother’s best friend. Until he wrecked me, then disappeared.
Now, he’s back, pretending like that night never happened, like he didn’t leave me with a broken heart. He wants to pick up where we left off. My brother would end him if he finds these text messages on my phone.
So, I keep my distance. I shut him out. Until he makes me an offer that’s hard to refuse.
Saying yes would pull me under his control, giving him the power to hurt me again.
My brother would surely catch some jail time.
But is that enough to stop a monster hell-bent on making me his?
Should I consider the consequences, or do I take the offer that could change my life?

Pepper Chan tried to leave the scars of her abduction behind her when she joined her current veterinary practice. However, a chance encounter with Roddy Eastman, the brother of her former best friend, leaves her shaken and desperate to keep her distance.

—or avoid the terrifying omens in the present.

Attorney Roddy Eastman is determined to find out why Dr. Chan wants to avoid him.

When Pepper reluctantly reaches out to him, Roddy offers her his help. Together, they must dig into her past to uncover the identity of the stalker before his twisted plans can become reality.

Hidden Within: The Leaves of Crimson By Brianna Hinson (A Thrilling Enemies to Lovers, Slow burn, Forced Proximity, Forbidden Love, Dark Paranormal Romance, witty Banter, Dire Stakes And A Comical Twist)

About Hidden Within: The Leaves of Crimson By Brianna Hinson (A Thrilling Enemies to Lovers, Slow burn, Forced Proximity, Forbidden Love, Dark Paranormal Romance, witty Banter, Dire Stakes And A Comical Twist)

Epilogues are meant for the ending of a story, which I find fitting for the beginning of mine—every story must start somewhere. My ending began when I first met him, a man with not just one name, but many. I knew better than to let myself get too close. This man told me exactly who he was: a hired assassin, skilled in what he considered an art. He was the one confined by chains and imprisoned, yet I was the one who inevitably became ensnared, preyed on by those deceptively charming blue eyes of his. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize my life was in jeopardy until it was too late.

***

In this land of crimson leaves is a monstrous castle ruled by a beast. But hidden beneath, in the depths of an underground chamber, that’s where a young woman with an enchanting secret spends her days. Elliyah provides care for anyone unfortunate enough to stumble into this inescapable domain. She too is a prisoner, but that’s not how the newest outsider sees her when he awakens in chains. After being brutally attacked by a hooded creature the night before, he sees this woman as just one of the many obstacles he has to overcome in order to regain his freedom and get back to his assignment.

This outsider is unlike any man Elliyah has ever crossed paths with before. He looks human, but he gnashes his teeth and thrashes about like an animal. There just has to be something more to him.

Little does she know that she is right. He isn’t just anyone. He’s a killer, hired to pursue a woman known for her petulant behavior—his captor, Elliyah.

***

Who takes on a mission with such little details? Answer: me.

So I haven’t taken a wrong path, after all?

She is the shrew I have been sent to tame. Whatever that means. Well, now that I’ve found my target, I just have to figure out what I’m supposed to do with her.

***

A forbidden romance set in a dark place where the stakes are dire, Hidden Within: The Leaves of Crimson is an engrossing fantasy novel full of quirky twists and turns, and it will have you laughing, cringing, and sighing—all at the same time.

Lingering Kiss by Alexis Shore

About Lingering Kiss by Alexis Shore

“Alexis Shore can truly write a smoking hot sex scene.” The Romance Reviews

Dear Reader,

Something a little different for you this time.

I’ve recently moved in to a new house, one that was previously occupied by a charming couple. Since moving in, I keep finding handwritten love letters that have been tucked into nooks and crannies about the place, and they’re delicious.

Each one looks like it has been read dozens, if not hundreds of times, then folded back up, carefully returned to the envelope and then the hiding place.

I do the same whenever I find one, but only after reading it alone and luxuriating in the voyeuristic pleasure of the glimpse in to an incredibly beautiful love life.

Here are the first six that I’ve found.

So settle down somewhere comfortable, wear something loose, and savour the tiny morsels for as long as you can.

Enjoy
Alexis
