From the Publisher:

Two couples. One HEA and one Prequel Cliffhanger.

GIULIA
Our marriage cemented the alliance between our families. Emotions shouldn’t come into it, but I fell in love with the ruthless underboss I married. Only to him, I’m nothing more than an incubator to carry his heirs. I adore our son, but I’ve been putting off having another child. Raff is going to flip when he finds out about the birth control.

RAFFAELE
She is smart and beautiful, but there is no room in the life of a mafia underboss for tender emotions. At least that’s what I thought when we got married. Six years has changed a lot, but my wife thinks I’m the same merciless man she wed. To everyone else, I am. But not to her. She’ll forgive me for sending her to a fertility specialist. She has to, because I will never let her go.

Giulia and Raffaele’s story is a steamy mafia romance with a guaranteed HEA. No cheating.

CATALINA
My sister is engaged to the don that sets my senses ablaze. I have no choice but to make plans to run. To escape my father and this incessant physical need Severus sparks in me.

SEVERU
Someone is attacking my mafia. I have to protect la famiglia at all costs, even if that means agreeing to marry a woman I have no feelings for. I just have to ignore the way my body reacts to her sister.

As the prequel to Urgent Vows, this is the only book in the Syndicate Rules series that is not a standalone. Because it is a prequel, Catalina and Severu’s story ends on a cliffhanger.

CW: explicit intimacy, graphic violence, foul language, fertility issues discussed, and domestic violence (past reference and in the story – not between the main characters)

For listeners who love morally grey heroes and devour mafia romance by authors like Cora Reilly, Michelle Heard and J.T. Geissinger.

Find out who wins by listening to ‘The Wager’ by Krista Wolf. 🔥🎧💕

From the publisher:

A butterfly-inducing list of sinful exploits. Three gorgeous studs, looking to share. Can Payton win the ultimate wager? Or will love get in the way?

When Payton takes a Corruption Quiz with her friend Kennedy, she scores abysmally low. So low she decides to spice up her life a bit—especially when the two friends place a bet as to who can most improve their score over the next 30 days.

It starts with Jackson, the gruff, chiseled foreman in charge of renovating the Brooklyn apartment building Payton owns. It continues with Gabriel and Ethan—the sizzling hot guys in unit three. The men work both together and alone, competing hard to check off the many boxes on Payton’s provocative bucket list. Bringing her to all new heights of overindulgence, along with Cameron, the big teddy bear who rounds out Payton’s harem of strong, fiercely-competitive men.

If there’s a winner at all…it’s certainly her.

But the situation is not without obstacles, and forces may be aligning against Payton from within her own apartment building. Can her four beautiful saviors make everything right again? And will Payton push far enough into her own secret fantasies to beat out her friend at their fiery, sultry bet?

The Wager is a scorching, stand-alone reverse harem love story filled with suspense, humor, romance, and smoldering bet-winning action. HEA guaranteed!

Thank you, Tantor Audio!

From the Publisher:

Lauren Layne’s latest novel about the healing power of redemption tells the story of a crush gone wickedly wrong, proving that what you want isn’t always what you need.

Growing up in New York, Michael St. Claire never expected to spend his twenties wearing cowboy boots. But that was before he learned about his real father, a total stranger with a family in Cedar Grove, Texas. Once in the Lone Star State, Michael meets Kristin Bellamy, who is exquisitely refined and everything Michael always thought he wanted in a woman. The only problem is that Kristin is dating Michael’s new half brother, Devon.

Kristin’s mouthy, curvy sister Chloe has always been in love with Devon Patterson. So when Michael offers to help Chloe break up Devon and Kristin, Chloe agrees to a deal that seems too good to be true. Before long, Chloe finally gets her man, only to make a startling discovery: She no longer wants the guy she had to fight for—she wants the one who stood by her side.

After all he and Chloe have been through, Michael swears he’s damaged goods. Can Chloe convince him that love is worth the risk?

CRUSHED is available wherever audiobooks are sold.

New Release: GIVEN TO THE MERCENARIES


Audiobook cover of a woman with olive skin and long black hair, embracing an attractive man with short black hair while she stares into his lips. Behind her, holding her hips, is another attractive man with short dark hair and a neatly trimmed beard; his muscular abdominals are visible. Text in pink cursive letters: Given to the Mercenaries. Text in white block letters: Amazon Award-winning Author Krista Wolf. A military reverse harem romance.

Me: It may be cold outside but I’ve got a listen that will certainly keep you warm.

You: What listen is that, you say?

Me: That’d be GIVEN TO THE MERCENARIES by Krista Wolf.

You: Yes, please.

From the Publisher:

I was willing to give anything and everything to find my brother. But these three ex-special forces soldiers wanted only one thing from me. And it wasn’t money.

When my brother Evan disappeared on the streets of Oakland, I looked for weeks. Broke and alone, my search put me on the Lozano crime family’s radar: a virtual death sentence.

That’s when they showed up: three tattooed, muscle-bound saviors, arriving at my darkest hour. Protecting me wasn’t their intention, but it became their shared goal. It felt good to be safe and sound, tucked away in their underground apartment.

But these men aren’t just military, they’re ex-special forces. Mercenaries are for hire, paid to do the impossible jobs that no one else can.

And I need my brother back.

Silas is the tattooed marine scout: deliciously broad-chested, dark-skinned and deadly. Cody is the dirty blond SEAL whose giant shoulders and chiseled arms I could spend all day wrapped up in, while Santiago is the tall, brooding Venezuelan hiding his own deep, dark secret.

Together, they’ve sworn to see me through, but when my troubles become their troubles, things get sticky…in more ways than one. And when a vicious Mexican cartel rears its ugly head on the mean streets of Oakland, even the deadliest mercenaries in the world need to watch their backs.

Can a lonely, desperate waitress find love with three sizzling soldiers of fortune? Or will forces beyond anyone’s control tear everything apart?

Given to the Mercenaries is a military reverse harem love story filled with suspense, humor, and enough sizzling hot action to melt your device (author not responsible for molten devices). HEA guaranteed!

GIVEN TO THE MERCENARIES is available on Audible, Amazon, and Apple Books.

New Release: TO BE WITH YOU

Audiobook cover showing a photo of two hands with pinkies locked together; a golden glow emanates from the connection. The hand on the right is bare-armed and dons a gold bracelet and a gold ring. The arm on the left wears a long sleeved-shirt of navy blue with red stripes. The background is blurred railroad tracks. Text in white casual script lettering: To Be With You, TJ O'Shea, Read by Amy Deuchler, RB MediaThis one is good. Like ugly cry good. Which I TOTALLY did while recording it. Every. Damn. Chapter.

Because this book took me back to:
The mix tapes.
The angst.
The stupid “rules.”
The better-be-who-they-think-you-should-be’s.

But also:
The belief in possibility.
The belief in yourself.
The belief in love.

Hope you love it too.

TO BE WITH YOU by TJ O’Shea. Now on audio.

From the Publisher:

Leah Vasquez and Victoria Lockwood should not fall in love.

They’re smart enough to know a star-crossed lovers situation never works. Leah’s a loner from the poor side of town, working two jobs, and aching to leave their sleepy hometown in her rear view forever. Victoria lives in a mansion with her overbearing parents, surrounded by friends and known to none of them, living what others consider a charmed life. When Leah rescues Victoria from a freak rainstorm, they discover an unexpected understanding, and an undeniable spark.

Leah Vasquez and Victoria Lockwood should not fall in love, but they do.

Five years after their summer romance flames out, Victoria returns home to visit her dysfunctional family, fiance in tow. She’s shocked to find Leah never left town, and more surprisingly, neither did their feelings for each other. Still hurt over how Victoria ended things Leah resists any reconciliation, despite how hotly the embers of their love burn.

Leah Vasquez and Victoria Lockwood definitely should not fall in love . . . again.

Of course, even if Leah can open her bruised heart to the only girl she ever loved, Victoria must make a life-changing choice: love safely or love bravely.

New Release: THREE TRICKS

audiobook cover with image of a pink-haired woman with multiple tatoos. The foreground shows a motorcycle. Text is in pink cursive "Three" with white block letters "Tricks". Full text: Three Tricks, Hidden Empire #2 by Elizabeth Knight, Read by Amy DeuchlerRemember when I said I wouldn’t ever work with MC gangs? Yeah, well. Joke’s on them ‘cuz I just pulled another trick out of my sleeve…

 

THREE TRICKS by Elizabeth Knight released to audio this week, narrated by yours truly, thanks to Tantor Audio.

 

From the Publisher:

Remember when I said Two Tricks doesn’t work with MC gangs? Well, I might have jumped the gun on that.

The leaders of the Phantom Saints MC kidnapped me in order to broker a deal with Tricks. Joke’s on them when they find out the truth. But that is the least of my worries right now after saving my best friend from getting taken by a rival MC.

Fun fact—turns out I’m now number one on everyone’s hit lists. Someone out there doesn’t like me, or the fact that I joined forces with the Phantom Saints. They are pulling out all the stops to make sure I don’t last the week breaking up this alliance. Too bad for them: I’m just not that easy to kill. F–k with my family and I’ll end your life, simple as that.

Problem is, with so many players on the field, I can’t figure out who is calling the shots. Looks like I’m gonna need to pull another trick out of my sleeve . . .

Contains mature themes.

Why did it take this long? No. No, you don’t get to ask why.

Tricks says you want anything, you play by the rules. You don’t like it? Well, then you’re gonna get a visit from me. In your ears.

From the Publisher:

Listen up, and listen good—I’ll only say this shit once!

Two Tricks does not work with MC gangs, and that’s final. Period. The end.

No. No, you don’t get to ask why.

Tricks runs the West Coast smuggling ring, so if you want anything to come and go, you play by the rules. You don’t like it? Well, then you’re gonna get a visit from me. Who am I? I’m Dax, his enforcer, and don’t let my height or the pink hair fool you. I’ll take your ass down. Now, can someone explain to me why the hell the Phantom Saints MC gang sent someone to try and talk me into getting Tricks to work with them? Or maybe how those same assholes ended up kidnapping me? You can bet your ass, as soon as I get the chance, I will make them regret ever having me as a “house guest,” even if they are sexy as sin. No one uses me and gets away with it!

Contains mature themes.

TWO TRICKS is available wherever audiobooks are sold, like Audible.
