Once Upon A Time,

there was a king who passed.

He left behind two sons,

one beloved and one outcast.

The older of the two was set to take the throne.

But before he could, he had to find a queen to call his own.

The younger one was known to be unruly and unhinged.

The chosen queen was warned to keep far away from him.

Beautiful and cunning, in the light is where she stayed.

But late at night it was the shadowed lands in which she played.

Mistakes were made and secrets forged; forgetting duty and her sense.

And while the new king had her hand,

her heart belonged to the scarred prince.

COVER REVEAL - The Greatest Gift by S.L. Sterling

Title: The Greatest Gift

Author: S.L. Sterling

Genre: Contemporary Holiday Romance

Cover Design: Thunderstruck Cover Designs

Release Date: December 17, 2021

BLURB

Derrick destroyed Tess's heart only weeks before their Christmas-themed wedding. He'd been cheating on her with his secretary, I knew I should have said something, but didn't because I didn't want to be the one to break her heart. After all, I'd crushed on her since he'd introduced us, so instead, I decided to step in and clean up his mess.

One night she came to me, telling me how the honeymoon she'd booked was non-refundable and how she wished she had someone to travel with. Since I believed no one should be alone for Christmas I agreed to go with her.

We had 10 days in Paris and when we arrived it felt as if we'd been transported into another world. She was finally laughing and smiling until we arrived at the hotel to find everything had been prepared for the newlyweds, which we weren't. One look at her and I knew the tears were going to come rushing back if I didn't step up and take control of the situation.

Afterward, I pulled her in for an innocent hug. The problem was she fit perfectly as if she'd been made for me. It was then that I realized this trip wasn't going to be easy and that the next 10 days were going to be filled with cold showers, especially if she didn't feel the connection too.

From USA Today Bestselling Author S.L. Sterling comes this heartfelt holiday romance that proves time heals everything if you let it.

Binge Watching

 

It's been a while since I've posted what I'm watching. Not for lack of watching tv because I'm always doing that so it seems. I tend to binge watch shows so I end up waiting for them to hit a streaming platform and I have many of them. 

It's been a while since I've shared what I've been watching. I've finished or gotten current on a lot of shows over the last year. Some of them are amazing others are just meh. 

Today I have Arcane which is the animated series that tells the story of several of the League of Legends characters. The main focus is the two sisters Jinx and Vi each unique in their own right but just as powerful as they are beautiful. 

I've not had a lot of PC gaming in the last bunch of years but eventually I hope to change that one of these days. My bestie Chris is a huge League of Legends fan he loves the game. So when he picked out the show for us to watch I admit that I was curious as he's the League of Legends fan. I went into Arcane with fresh eyes so I had a lot of questions for Chris who was this who is that but he took it all in stride without spoiling anything. I loved every moment of the series it was well done. Now from his perspective as a huge League fan he loved it too. We both can't wait for the next season to watch. The plus side is you don't have to know anything about League to enjoy the story. 

What have you been watching?

Changing Tides 

by - Kristen Braddock 

Expected Publication - November 21 2021 

Add to  (Goodreads) 

MAGIC. SECRETS. MERFOLK.

It was supposed to be like any other free dive, except I drowned. At least, I was until a mermaid saved me… by transforming me into one.

Yes, a real freaking mermaid!

I can’t go home, but the mer community doesn’t trust an ex-human either. The mermaid who saved me is the only person I consider a friend, and her blood-boiling brother said he’s trying to help me.

Actions speak louder than words, bucko.

I am not wanted here, and I no longer belong on land. I’ve always considered the ocean my home, but until I convince those around me the same, my life hangs in the balance.

10% of author profits go towards ocean conservation.

Perfect for fans of LGBTQ+ characters, slow burn romance, real world science turned fantasy, adventure, and lovers of the ocean.

Add to  (Goodreads) 

Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times-bestselling author, returns to the fairytale world with this haunting retelling of Rumpelstiltskin.

Long ago cursed by the god of lies, a poor miller's daughter has developed a talent for spinning stories that are fantastical and spellbinding and entirely untrue.

Or so everyone believes.

When one of Serilda's outlandish tales draws the attention of the sinister Erlking and his undead hunters, she finds herself swept away into a grim world where ghouls and phantoms prowl the earth and hollow-eyed ravens track her every move. The king orders Serilda to complete the impossible task of spinning straw into gold, or be killed for telling falsehoods. In her desperation, Serilda unwittingly summons a mysterious boy to her aid. He agrees to help her… for a price. Love isn't meant to be part of the bargain.

Soon Serilda realizes that there is more than one secret hidden in the castle walls, including an ancient curse that must be broken if she hopes to end the tyranny of the king and his wild hunt forever.

Synopsis 

Looking out through his patio windows Wes noticed summer was coming to an end as the leaves were starting to show off their fall colors. Today he planned to relax with his eighty-pound tri-color collie, Oz. They were attending what was the last big car show of the summer hosted by the local GMC Jimmy Club. Classic car enthusiasts would come from all over the valley and neighboring states with hopes of leaving the show with one of the coveted handcrafted metal trophies. It had always been a dream of Wes to add one of these special trophies to his trophy case.

He turned the ignition key and the "Bird" his nineteen fifty-eight Thunderbird came to life, its deep rumble shook the garage walls. No car show adventure would be complete without first stopping by Betty's "Whole Bakery Experience". She had the best apple fritters in the valley for Wes and some special animal treats for Oz.

Little did Wes know that by the end of the day he would again be called upon to investigate a murder at the park. This time however it would be personal. He would have to prove the innocence of one of his buddies and keep him from the clutches of a young D.A. who was out to prove himself. With each passing day, time was running out for Wes to bring the real killer to justice.

With the blessing from Marti, the love of his life, and with Oz by his side for protection he must follow a trail of embezzlement, twisted love affairs while back-stabbing club politics hamper his digging into the truth. Hopefully, Wes's keen investigative abilities will put the true killer (s) behind bars.

This book is very special to me as it's my dad's third book in his Wes and Oz series. Today is also his birthday!!! 

This just happens to be the real Oz he's inspiration for the book.

RELEASE BLITZ - Not Pretending Anymore by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

Title: Not Pretending Anymore

Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: April 12, 2021

BLURB

Finding a good roommate through a classified ad isn’t as easy as it sounds.

I was starting to lose hope.

Until a knock at my door came and God answered my prayers.

Except…uh…wrong prayer, God.

I’d definitely requested the big guy find me a drop-dead gorgeous man on more than one occasion...just not as my roommate.

Declan Tate talked me into interviewing him anyway.

While he was amusing and charismatic, I wouldn’t have been comfortable living with a man, so I regretfully declined.

Then cupcakes showed up at my door—freshly baked by Declan and just as sinfully delicious as he was.

You could say he was persistent.

I eventually folded. It wasn’t like I had another viable candidate anyway.

Plus, I was interested in someone else. And Declan was into another woman. So it wasn’t like anything would happen romantically.

After he moved in, the two of us became the best of friends. We even started to give each other advice on getting our crushes to notice us.

Eventually, Declan concocted an idea: we should pretend to be a couple to make our love interests jealous.

I was hesitant, but went along with it anyway. To my utter shock, his crazy plan worked.

Now I was dating the supposed man of my dreams, and my best friend had the woman of his.

But there was one problem.

I couldn’t stop thinking about Declan.

Those feelings we were trying to fake?

Yeah…I wasn’t pretending anymore.
