Spotlight - One Night with the Groom, by Sara Daniel
New Release
Spotlight – One Night with the Groom
By Sara Daniel
One Night with the Bridal Party is a subseries of Decadent Publishing’s
popular 1Night Stand line. One Night With the Bride and One Night With the Bridesmaid share the same opening
scene where the bride’s mother presents each woman with a one-night stand a
week before the wedding.
Meanwhile, the poor jilted groom has been twisting in the wind since his bride left him a year before. Fear not! He’s about to meet up with the woman from his past who still holds his heart captive, despite him spending fifteen years trying to forget her.

One
Night With the Groom
As if trying to save the family farm and pay her mother’s medical bills isn’t enough struggle, Luciana Cortez discovers her brother has used the last of the mortgage money to buy her a one night stand. Even if she wasn’t appalled at the prospect, her farm chores leave her too exhausted for sex. The silver lining: she’s also too busy to think about the man who’d once pledged to marry her then abandoned her.
As if trying to save the family farm and pay her mother’s medical bills isn’t enough struggle, Luciana Cortez discovers her brother has used the last of the mortgage money to buy her a one night stand. Even if she wasn’t appalled at the prospect, her farm chores leave her too exhausted for sex. The silver lining: she’s also too busy to think about the man who’d once pledged to marry her then abandoned her.
Working on an
important business deal, CEO Blake Wellington doesn’t think twice when he steps
out of the limousine…until the car leaves. Instead of the business he needs to
attend to, he’s on the doorstep of the farm where his past love Luciana lives.
Without cell phone service or transportation, he must rely on her for help, a
move that threatens to awaken his long-dead emotions.
As they attempt to
gain closure over the ache and secrets of their past, neither are prepared for
the onslaught of emotions that jeopardize everything they’ve worked their whole
lives for. When the night is over, they must heed their responsibilities and go
their separate ways, even if it means a lifetime of heartbreak.
EXCERPT:
“Blake.” Her heart bled as if she’d stabbed it with a
pitchfork. She dropped her hand from her stomach to her side. “What are you
doing here?”
“I haven’t the foggiest idea.” His lips curved in a crooked
smile.
Aching to wrap her arms around him, to kiss his sexy mouth,
to soak in his presence while grinning at him like a fool, she took a step
back. She might not be hallucinating, but his sudden appearance had the power
to drive her over the edge of insanity and longing. Her heel caught on the
threshold at the opening of the barn, and she stumbled.
He reached for her, but she steadied herself on the
doorframe, holding out her other palm to ward him away. She couldn’t handle
seeing him, let alone skin-on-skin contact.
“Give me a minute,” she begged. “I’m kind of shocked to see
you.” Kind of, ha. Completely would have been an understatement.
His smile faded. “Good shocked or bad shocked?”
“I don’t know yet.” The dead tree beside the barn creaked in
the wind. She’d let her fear over it falling on the barn or, worse, in the
other direction keep her from cutting it down, but the nasty gusts made her
regret the decision.
“Keep me posted on which way it goes. I’m already skittish
about getting shot at.”
“You won’t be unless you touch me, in which case I’ll shoot
you myself.”
“Fair enough.” He pocketed his hands and stepped back.
The distance helped. So did the fact he didn’t call her
bluff. Luciana’s limbs shook too much to pick up any weapon. At one time, she’d
been furious with him for abandoning her when she’d needed him most. Although
he’d bowed to her parents’ pressure and hadn’t fought to save their future
together, her emotions had faded to regret and resignation.
“So, you decided to drop in after fifteen years without a
word, and you don’t have a clue why?” Okay, maybe her anger hadn’t faded.
“I didn’t come to see you.”
“Ouch. Thanks for being straight with me, rather than
sparing my ego. I think.”
He winced. “I didn’t mean an insult. I’m supposed to be in
Des Moines to consider a potential property for my company to add to their
hotel portfolio. But the limo took me here instead and then left me.”
Limo. Hotel portfolio. If he hadn’t been out of her league
before, he’d traveled far beyond her social realm. “So, are you one of those
‘if I build it, they will come’ visionaries?”
“No, I’m a market-feasibility,
make-sure-every-aspect-is-viable-before-I-sink-a-penny-into-it type of
executive. I don’t have a reason that makes any sense for why I showed up here,
and my cell phone isn’t getting reception. If I could borrow your landline to
make some calls, I’ll get out of your hair as soon as possible.”
He hadn’t come to see her. He’d arrived by mistake and
wanted to get far away without further ado. Once upon a time, they’d shared a
rare, special love. She remembered it and regretted losing it, even if he
didn’t.
Sara Daniel started writing One
Night with the Bride and couldn’t stop. So, she wrote One
Night with the Bridesmaid next.

Night with the Groom. She’ll let you guess what the next title in the One Night With the Bridal Party series

County Girls, by Tressa Messenger

that she never intended to divulge, but once she went back home after twenty
years for her high school reunion she knew that was exactly where she wanted to
be. Once back in her home town in North
Carolina it all comes rushing back to her, both good and bad, even the
uncontrollable desire for her first love, who happened to be her best friend’s
husband.
Marissa
and her three best friends could never have imagined the events that would take
place once these once inseparable County girls are back together again or the
hot nights that are sure to come.

Cassia Leo's Release Day Blitz for Bring Me Home
Welcome to the 1:30PM slot for Cassia's Release Day Blitz (and giveaway)!
"Sometimes letting someone go is the ultimate act of love."
 |
| Bring Me Home, by Cassia Leo |
Blurb:
Claire Nixon is a college student with a past full of secrets and heartbreak. She was saved once by her first love, and rock star, Chris Knight. But when she encouraged Chris to leave town to pursue his dreams, both Claire and Chris didn’t realize it would be the biggest mistake of their lives.
After a devastating year apart and thousands of miles of distance between them, Claire met sexy surfer Adam Parker. With his awful jokes and profound patience, he helped Claire pick up the shattered pieces of her broken heart for the second time.
But now Chris has returned and he is willing and determined to make Claire’s dreams come true—the same way she did for him when she let him go.
With Adam’s former girlfriend in the picture, Claire finds herself torn between the new, passionate love she shares with Adam and the love and family she shares with Chris.
*ARC provided by author for an honest review*
I'm super excited to be a part of this as I've read each installment of the Shattered Heart series. I have to admit with Bring Me Home being the last book, I'll miss Adam, Chris, Claire and the rest of the crew. For me this series has been one of those reads that stays with you well after you've read it.
I've never read a story involving a love triangle and not been more for one male than the other. Never, and I think that was a huge part of the lure for me. It was brilliant story writing. When I finished reading Pieces Of You, I was seriously torn over who I wanted Claire to be with, but in the end it's all about who she loves and belongs to heart and soul. The first two books for me were four star reads, and this final one really brings it home (no pun intended), and I've given it five stars.
The final book shows our beloved characters maturing and making decisions that change them for the rest of their lives. Cassia did a fabulous job with the characters - I felt like I knew them, and that even goes for the second hand characters, too. Emotions and the actions of the characters were true to how I think they'd be in life. The entire journey from start to end tugged at my heart strings. I'm an emotional reader, and if you are too, make sure you have tissues nearby for this final installment.
And now for TEASER #10
BRING ME HOME – RELEASE BLITZ
Chapter Two
Adam
You never know you’re making a mistake until
it’s too late. Sometimes we know we’re taking a risk, but we always hope for
the best. We hope that our mistakes will be forgiven, or at least forgotten. We
hope that our mistakes will teach us something. Sometimes, unfortunately,
mistakes are just mistakes that can’t be undone or forgotten.
I got the feeling that Claire was hiding something
from me when I took her to the UNC vs. North Carolina State football game two
weeks ago. We’ve spoken on the phone a few times a week since the night I
surprised her at Cora’s, but our conversations are short and weighed down by
this feeling that we’re both holding back. I want to ask her when she’s going
to talk about the ring I gave her and I’m sure there are things she wants to
talk to me about, but instead we speak as if we haven’t explored the depths of
each other physically and emotionally. Like we’re strangers.
We met at the stadium two weeks ago in Raleigh,
like some kind of fucking blind date or casual lunch with a friend. The walk
across the parking lot and through the stadium to our seats was excruciatingly
silent. I couldn’t even bring myself to tell a joke to break the ice. Something
has shifted between us and it’s more than just the stench of the sweaty guy
seated in front of us.

When the virgin BDSM sub he's hired to train ends up being Kristy, Jake almost falls apart. During the scene they play at the club, he fantasizes about getting her into restraints in his own playroom. But Kristy is shocked when she learns that the two men she desires are one and the same.

Excerpt:
Jonathan,
wearing only his jeans and looking as sexy as he was dangerous, threw a
bullwhip toward a punching bag. He looked torn, furious, and gorgeous all at
the same time. His hand wrapped around the thick handle as he moved with a
grace only he could possess. She watched mesmerized as the two bellied-braid of
the leather thong snaked back and forth through the air looking for purchase.
She jumped unexpectedly as the nylon popper made a cracking sound that she knew
all too well.
Jonathan’s
body looked firmer and his muscles more defined than she’d ever seen before. He
planted his bare feet on the floor, bending at the knees. Throwing the whip
forward, from the bottom of his soles following through with his whole body, he
made the bullwhip look like an extension of himself. The repetitive popping
noises made her remember a time that she tried to block from her memories, but
the invisible burn of her scars wouldn’t allow it.
The
most painful of the memories to become clearer in her mind was the day she
decided to leave Jonathan. The first day he used a whip on her. A shiver ran
down her spine, her heart rate increased, and her breathing came quicker. She
wasn’t afraid, not at all. In fact, quite the opposite, she was turned on, and
that’s what scared her into leaving him in the first place. She never told
anyone of this, and kept it bottled up inside of her all this time. Even
Jonathan didn’t know.
Her
body hummed with anticipation watching the whip flow through the air. Each time
it hit the target her body zinged, practically crying out for the burning sting
she could imagine it leaving behind.
Jonathan
needed to know the truth. He was unattached, worked the whip like a pro, and he
was there for her. Each resounding crack called to her. She needed it badly,
and needed it now. What she never got the chance to tell Jonathan in words,
she’d gratefully show him now.
Roxi disrobed in the hall and slipped
into the playroom undetected. Kneeling in submission at the door, she waited.
The cracking sounds went quiet and she heard Jonathan breathing heavily from
across the room.
