Amélie S. Duncan
(The Kept Trilogy, #1)
Publication date: December 11th 2022
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Paul Crane is rich, brilliant, and powerful. And I belong to him, body and soul…

I came to New York City to study design and build a life for myself. I was young, naive, and the last thing I was looking for was love.
I needed money for my family and the medical bills that threatened us into poverty. I didn’t have time to worry about my loneliness,
to fill that cold empty spot in my heart…

At first, it seemed like Paul was the answer to all my problems. But after he rescued me from a desperate situation,
I soon discovered Paul had demons of his own.

Paul wasn’t looking for a lover… He wanted a companion, a kept woman. And I was captivated by his charm, lavish gifts, and trips to Paris.
And his touch awakened my desires, passions I had never dreamed of.

But the closer we get, the more I begin to wonder. What happens when our arrangement comes to an end…

Cover Reveal: The Christmas One Night Stand by L. Steele

I got pregnant from a one-night-stand with my worst enemy
Then I walked into the office to find out he was my new boss…

The Christmas One Night Stand, an all-new steamy enemies-to-lovers forbidden romance from bestselling author L. Steele is coming December 8th, and we have the first look at the gorgeous cover!

I got pregnant from a one-night-stand with my worst enemy
Then I walked into the office to find out he was my new boss…

In my defense, I hadn’t planned on having anything to do with Hunter Whittington again.
So what if his jaw can cut glass, his gaze is piercing and he has a body that haunted my dreams.
Our values are contradictory.
Our principles are contrasting.
Our upbringing couldn’t be more different.
He’s the entitled Oxbridge educated billionaire on track to become the leader of the country.
I’m the daughter of a shopkeeper, who by sheer determination rose to become a PR specialist.

We hated each other on sight.
Couldn’t spend time in the same room without getting into a fight.
Until we find ourselves double-booked…
…in the same house over Christmas.

What’s worse there’s only one bedroom.
And a snowstorm brewing outside.
Then the electricity goes out…
Only the chemistry between us takes off.

Unable to keep our hands off each other we make a pact…
…to spend one night together.
We wouldn’t speak about it afterwards.
Not to each other, not to the world.
We’d pretend it never happened.

Except for the pink line across the test in my hand…

He’d already killed to keep her safe, but what does he do when he’s the one hurting her?

Zach 

Flying choppers was what Zachary ‘Thunder’ Garrett lived for, but when he’s shot down over cartel country, he’ll have to decide between completing his mission and trying to save an innocent American woman. His elite team had been sent in to retrieve dangerous weapons and deadly drugs, not kidnapped tourists. But ruthless drug lords were hurting her — bad — and he won’t leave her behind, even if it gets him court martialed or worse — dead. 

Allie

She’s waited her whole life to escape the limelight of being a powerful US Senator’s only daughter. Spending a semester as an exchange student in Colombia was her big chance to let her hair down, away from her overprotective father and prying cameras. But when she’s stolen off the streets of Bogata in broad daylight, she realizes just how dangerous the world could be. The only thing standing between her and continued torture is a lone warrior — her hero. 

Surviving life and death danger may have brought them close, but the realities of their different worlds was determined to keep them apart. Could an undercover job opportunity with an elite team of mercenaries be the answer to all of their problems?

WHAT’S ONE ITSY, BITSY, LITTLE LIE?

Cassian Anders will be the youngest governor in Illinois history… If he wins.

That’s all everyone seems to talk about these days. Jolie Coldwell isn’t one of them. As a journalist, her priorities comprise digging up dirt on crooked politicians and local cover-ups. When her latest exposé on a congressman lands her in hot water, her days are reduced to covering the senior center’s casino night.

Unexpectedly, news breaks: the on-air investigative segment needs a replacement. This promotion advance could her career.

She needs a breaking story. She needs it now.

The road to office is ruthless compared to the courtroom. Without warning, Cassian Anders’ popularity rating falls, threatening his position on the ballot. He will do whatever it means to secure votes. Now, not only is he engaged, but he’s getting married to his non-existent fiancée…

He’s never relied on luck, but when a convenient but unorthodox wife falls into his lap? He makes her a deal.

He needs a wife. He needs it now.

Will Jolie and Cassian be able to fool the public long enough? Can she handle the public poking around in her past, one she would rather keep under wraps… Above all, can she be a model first lady or are they destined to be a scandal?
