Lies destroy.
But some lies protect...and heal. At least that's what Gray Donovan had hoped for. She's a compulsive liar using it as a defense mechanism to survive life and her shattered past.
When she starts seeing therapist Daniel Harrison, she can no longer deny the truths that have haunted her for so many years. She must now stand and face them.
Opening up to Daniel leaves her exposed and vulnerable. When her soul is bared to him, she can't contain the attraction or the feelings he elicits.
Daniel feels drawn to his new patient, but he knows he will have to fight it in order to resurrect Gray from her demons. His will and his judgment are tested when he must overcome his own doubts and face his own secrets.

Spotlight: Tied by Carian Cole

 Amazon


He was the myth and the legend of our small town. But no one knew the truth... except me.

Me
My childhood was stolen by a monster. I've forgotten what love feels like. What happiness feels like. What hope feels like. I am numb.

Him
He's possibly as damaged as I am. Maybe even more. Scarred just as much on the inside as the outside. Just like me. He doesn't speak. He doesn't smile. He hides in the woods like an animal. I should be scared of him. But I'm not. He's the only one that has ever made me feel. And I want to make him feel, too.
Everything...

In the affluent town of Weslyn, Connecticut, where most people worry about what to be seen in and who to be seen with, Emma Thomas would rather not be seen at all.

It challenges her to recognize her own worth―at the risk of revealing the terrible secret she’s desperate to hide.

Spotlight: Hitman's Kiss - A Mafia Bad Boy Romance by Kate Sands








She thinks he’s more than a killer. He’ll have to kill to prove her right.


Robert:

I’ve been working for Don Capelli since I was twelve. I can’t even tell you how many people I’ve killed, but lately I wonder if I’ve still got the stomach for it. Not much choice, though--a man like me doesn’t get to have a nice little wife and family to come home to.

And now there’s this chick. Emily. Cute, and sweet, and innocent--it’s her old man who has gambling debts. But I’m holding her hostage until her father pays up.

Except he’s not paying, and the Don wants to turn Emily into one of his whores.

It ain’t right -- she didn’t ask for any of this.

I gotta protect her somehow … and hope Don Capelli doesn’t find out.

Emily:

I’ve spent my life buried in books. They’ve been my closest companions, my true friends … but they didn’t prepare me for this.

I’d be scared to death except for Robert. I know he’s done awful things, but he’s not an evil man, not deep inside. And he makes me feel things that no man ever has.

He’s all I’ve got since my father abandoned me.

If we bring each other pleasure … is that so terrible?


When Robert runs away with Emily to keep her safe, it’s not long before the Don’s hitters come after them.

Can he keep them both alive--and battle his own doubts--long enough to give their newfound love a chance?
