Treasured, a sexy must read novella in the Masters and Mercenaries Series from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake and 1,001 Dark Nights, is available now!

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lexi Blake comes a new story in her Masters and Mercenaries series…

David Hawthorne has a great life. His job as a professor at a prestigious Dallas college is everything he hoped for. Now that his brother is back from the Navy, life seems to be settling down. All he needs to do is finish the book he’s working on and his tenure will be assured. When he gets invited to interview a reclusive expert, he knows he’s gotten lucky. But being the stepson of Sean Taggart comes with its drawbacks, including an overprotective mom who sends a security detail to keep him safe. He doesn’t need a bodyguard, but when Tessa Santiago shows up on his doorstep, the idea of her giving him close cover doesn’t seem so bad.

Tessa has always excelled at most anything she tried, except romance. The whole relationship thing just didn’t work out for her. She’s not looking for love, and she’s certainly not looking for it with an academic who happens to be connected to her boss’s family. The last thing she wants is to escort an overly pampered pretentious man-child around South America to ensure he doesn’t get into trouble. Still, there’s something about David that calls to her. In addition to watching his back, she will have to avoid falling into the trap of soulful eyes and a deep voice that gets her heart racing.

But when the seemingly simple mission turns into a treacherous race for a hidden artifact, David and Tess know this assignment could cost them far more than their jobs. If they can overcome the odds, the lost treasure might not be their most valuable reward.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Excerpt

What the hell was she doing? 

Tessa glanced down at her watch. She was standing in front of her building ten minutes early, and there was a big part of her that wanted him to be late. Really late. Annoyingly late. 

There had to be something about the man that wasn’t perfect beyond his connection to her employer. 

She’d come down when she realized if she stayed inside one minute more she was going to decide to change again. Because she’d been halfway to convincing herself that she could do a fine job as a bodyguard in that curve-hugging dress that gave her so much confidence. Lots of bodyguards wore four-inch heels and a push-up bra. Yeah, sure they did. 

Coming down here had saved her so much discomfort because in her line of business, slacks, a sensible shirt and shoes, and a blazer were the only way to go. The blazer hid her shoulder holster in a way that off-the-shoulder sex dress never would. And she didn’t care that Hollywood assassins could stuff any number of weapons between their thighs. Hers did not work that way. 

It’s not a big deal.

The words David had said haunted her. What did that mean? It’s not a big deal. It had felt like a big deal. Not texting that smart hottie back had been a big fucking deal to her. She’d agonized over it, and he’d just kind of let it wash over him. He’d taken his shot and moved on. She had thought of nothing but him for weeks. 

Or he was saving face by playing it cool and she was being ridiculous. The man was making this easy on her and she was inwardly complaining that he wasn’t making it harder. It was perverse, but then she had deeply conflicted feelings about David. 

Feelings she could maybe work out over the course of this week. She could get to know him and then she would see he wasn’t as perfect as he seemed to be. Most men showed their true colors when a woman spent too much time with them. He wouldn’t be as patient as he seemed. His charm would wear off when she took charge and he got annoyed. 

Yes, this could be exactly what she needed.

Especially if he was late.

Review

David is the perfect mix of smart and sexy as not only he is an accomplished Professor, but he has a dominant side that few people get to see. He has grown up in a family of strong men of action while his preference is what lies between the covers of a book. He and Tessa meet by chance, and he thought the time they spent together was a beginning only to have her avoid him. He never expected to see her again so finding out that she has been tasked with being his bodyguard on a trip to Argentina due to his brother’s injury was a surprise he didn’t see coming.

Tessa works for Taggert-McKay with his brother Kyle. She has recently ended her engagement to a man whose lifestyle was very different from hers so although she and David were drawn to each other at their first meeting once she found out he was related to her bosses she doesn’t want to repeat the same mistakes. It started out as a week to explore the chemistry between them but as the chemistry between them escalated so did their feelings and the danger they found themselves in.

David and Tessa were perfect for each other as although he was dominant in the bedroom he was confident in who he was to allow Tessa to be independent outside the bedroom. The chemistry between them radiates off the pages as Tessa and David find what has been missing in both their lives in each other.

USA Today bestselling author Prescott Lane has 
revealed the cover for The Right Side of Wrong!

Releasing July 29, 2021

It wasn’t love at first sight. That would be too easy.

I can tell you all the reasons Paige and I shouldn’t be together.
But love overlooks a lot.

My heart doesn’t care that I’m ten years older.
There’s no age gap in how she makes me feel.

My heart doesn’t care that she’s a single mother.
It just makes more room.

My heart doesn’t care that she’s got secrets of her own.
It’s used to keeping mine.

The moment I laid eyes on Paige, I lost control. 
Control of my desires. Control of my secrets. Control of my heart.

Right or wrong, we’re going to have to fight for our happily ever after. 

And I don’t plan on losing.

Who says what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?

Callie

Derek Nichols is the first guy I can see myself sticking with for more than one night. He’s nice, easy to talk to, and excellent in bed.

There’s just one problem. He breaks my one rule of relationships: no baseball players.

Only after spending a passionate night together, I’m considering breaking that cardinal rule for one more chance with him.

Derek

Callie Jacobs is the full package when it comes to the women I like. Funny, charismatic, gorgeous, and the list goes on.

After one night together, I know I want more and I have no problem going after what I want. But Callie doesn’t feel the same. She’s happy to call it done.

Then we end up in Vegas with friends and things get a little heated.

We wake up married with no memory of the event, just matching rings as a reminder of our vows to each other.

I’m all in. I’m ready to give this a shot. But Callie is running scared, even though she’s admitted she wants me too.

Each time I see her, I want to hold her close. Each time she pushes me away, I want to reel her back in.

We have to decide if this is what we want or if we’ll just become another Vegas statistic.

The Fastball is the second book in A.M. Williams Boys of Summer baseball romance series. It’s a secret Vegas wedding romance with a man who knows what he wants and a woman who fights her attraction.

If you love men in tight pants and the sassy women they fall for, this series is for you.

This book was previously published as Dirty Pitch. It has been updated with new content and re-edited.

Excerpt

Copyright 2021 A.M. Williams

I froze when Derek started moving. I turned around slowly, watching as he sat up and rubbed his eyes. Maybe if I didn’t move, he wouldn’t see me. 

I wasn’t that lucky as his gaze moved to me.

“How much did I drink last night?” he asked, blinking blearily at me.

“Enough.” My voice was flat and he narrowed his eyes at me.

He stretched. “Why are you in here?”

I cocked a brow and waited. I saw the moment he realized he was wearing a ring on his left hand.He was running his hands through his hair and paused before bringing his hand in front of his face. His eyes widened and met mine. “Is this what I think it is?”

I couldn’t say anything, only nodded, and I held up my hand, wiggling my fingers.

Derek swallowed noticeably, looking from his hand to me and back again. “What the fuck?”

“What the fuck is right,” I returned.

Silence stretched between us. I shifted my weight and realized I needed to get going. I had to pee, wanted a shower, and to crawl back into bed.

Maybe if I went to sleep, I’d wake up only to realize this was a really bizarre dream and that I wasn’t actually married to Derek?

He opened his mouth to say something, but I didn’t care to hear his thoughts. There was too much going on to try to talk this out right then. I slipped my shoes on and started toward the door, snagging my clutch from the bench as I went by.

“Callie! Where are you going?” Derek called out from behind me.

“To my room,” I called over my shoulder. I didn’t wait to hear a response, if he had one. I had to be gone. I couldn’t stay in that room one more moment.

I knew Derek had questions—I had some, too—but I seriously needed a little bit of time to myself to try to remember last night and figure out what I was going to do.
Though, I guessed it should be us figuring out what we were going to do.

I rubbed a hand over my face as Derek’s hotel room door banged shut behind me.

This absolutely couldn’t be happening. I did not just become a statistic and have a quickie wedding in Vegas where me and my groom were so drunk, we didn’t remember it happening. That didn’t happen. Right?

Review

Callie is a lawyer who is focused on her career, and she likes to keep her interactions with men casual. When she meets Derek the sparks fly, and they spend a steamy evening together until she finds out she has broken her one rule when it comes to men and that is the fact that he is a baseball player. She is determined that one night would be all they would have however fate had other ideas.

Derek has reached the point in his life where he looking for a woman to spend his life with and is disappointed that Callie wants nothing to do with him. When they find themselves in Vegas to celebrate their friends upcoming nuptials it is Derek and Callie who return home married. When Callie wants to end the marriage and Derek doesn’t who will win this battle of the wills?

Callie has so many reasons of why they shouldn’t be together but as Derek breaks through the walls she has built around herself they prove that in the end love is the only thing that matters.

Review

As a child McKenna’s life was uprooted when she started living with her grandparents however it was the best place for her to be especially when she becomes best friends with her neighbor and with her older brother Rip. Her feelings for him were much deeper than friends however she didn’t believe they were reciprocated so she has recently returned home after studying to become a lawyer.

Rip has always known that McKenna was his destiny however he loved her enough to not tell her before she left town to pursue her dreams. Now that she is back, he is determined to show her the future they could have together but first he must help her heal from the emotional scars of her past.

Rip is everything you could want in a man and so much more while McKenna is cautious as she has seen firsthand the devastation that loving the wrong person can bring. This is an uplifting story about love and family between two people who have always belonged together.

Review

There is nothing that Natasha wouldn’t do for her best friend and that includes raising her four year twins after she and her husband pass away suddenly. She finds and Sam, her best friend’s brother, find themselves struggling with their own loss as well as the loss that the twins are feeling, and the situation is further complicated by the fact that Natasha doesn’t remember a time when she hasn’t been attracted to Sam.

Sam enjoys the freedom of being single and has always been able focus on his career as a firefighter. He now needs to try and balance the twins, his career and the feelings he is developing for Natasha, which are very different from when he only saw her as his younger sister’s best friend, and become the man that his sister, her children and Natasha need him to be.

This is a heartwarming story about love, family and healing. I enjoyed the evolution of Sam’s character as he realized what and who was important in his life so even though they had a few setbacks along the way there is no denying that they are exactly what the other and the twins need.

Review

Sydney’s attempt to do the best she could in the situation she found herself in has put her in danger and in order to protect herself and those she cares about she has left the only life she has ever known and is starting over. Learning self defense is vital if her past catches up with her but Vaughn was a complication she wasn’t expecting.

Vaughn is a partner in Archer Tactical and was enchanted by Sydney from their first meeting when he was a patron at the diner where she worked. He is more than willing to teach her self defense as he hopes that by spending time together she will see him as more than a friend but first they must deal with the secrets from her past that come back to affect her present.

This story finds the perfect balance between romance and suspense as Sydney and Vaughn must fight for each other to have the future they could have together.

About FORTUNATE SON:

Ry Archer and Bowe Keller are as different as night and day. But that doesn’t stop the childhood frenemies from reconnecting whenever one of them needs some help tackling any of life’s major puzzles, like figuring out why getting what you always thought you wanted isn’t living up to all the hype. They might constantly rub each other the wrong way (except for the times when they rub each other the really-really right way), but there is no denying they’ve always made one hell of a great team. They manage to balance each other out… when they aren’t driving each other crazy.

For Ry, he thought he had the perfect girl, the one who was going to run headfirst into a methodically planned future. He was going to marry young and have the same kind of legendary, life-long romance his parents did… or so he believed. His girl was going to stand by his side as he chased his dream of being a professional football player all the way to the NFL.

He was wrong.

Now, Ry’s gotta figure out the difference between a bruised heart and a broken one, and the only person who can teach him the difference is Bowe.

Bowe always felt like she had to run before she learned to walk to keep up with her father’s musical legacy. He’s her hero, and she wants nothing more than to make him proud. Bowe’s about to figure out that maybe she wasn’t meant to be in a rock and roll band and that it is possible she let her father’s success cloud her idea of what making music should be. Bowe needs to find her own path to fame, and there’s a good chance she wouldn’t be brave enough or bold enough to start over if Ry Archer hadn’t charmed his way back into her life when she least expected it.

Some days they’re enemies. Other days they’re lovers. For a while, they were strangers. But now, it feels more like they might have always been soulmates.

Eventually, Ry and Bowe realize that letting go of an old dream and creating a new one is much easier to do with the right person by your side.

“The soul who sins shall die…and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.” ~Ezekiel 18:20

A murderer.

A crazed obsession.

The ultimate lie.

And an innocent girl who is about to become the devil’s pawn, in an evil game constructed to send her to her knees.

𝕊𝕆𝕃𝔸ℕ𝔾𝔼

Bless me father for I want to sin, so very very badly. 

That’s exactly how this all began. 

A dark confessional box. 

A late night revelation. 

And an irreversible sin committed. 

There are not enough Hail Mary’s for what ensued in the dark recesses of St. Margaret’s Cathedral.

And if anyone were to find out, we’d both be dammed. Then again, we are well on our way to the depths of hell, because my worship begins with him. And my penitence has his name all over it. 

𝕁𝕌𝕃𝕀𝔼ℕ

I am a bad man. 

I am not ordained. 

I’m not even supposed to be here. It was a mistake, one that’s cost me my entire existence.

Blood is what I’m after.

But what I am is at her mercy.

And I’ll do anything to protect her. Even if it means giving my life for hers.
