Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murderous thoughts. Those are what I had once Isabella walked through the door and revealed to me who she was. I needed an escape. An escape from my thoughts, an escape from the hurt, and an escape from ... him. I was a broken woman, but I was never going to break my resolve. I grew up being a fighter because I had to. No man could ever bring me down... Not even Luca. But, I had to admit, I never thought my heart would break as much as it did that day. Of course, I fled, but I was a fool to think he would ever let me go. He always told me I was his ... no matter what the cost. He was determined to keep me-regardless of the lengths he had to go to reach his goal. He was like a moth to my flame, a tattoo carved into my heart. I could never escape his pull. I may have evaded him, but I knew it would just be a matter of time. Once he inevitably caught up with me, there would be no going back. However, no matter what I had expected-or even imagined-absolutely nothing could have prepared either of us for what happened next...

Noah may be more than who he claims to be. Grace has a secret—one that will destroy Lee. Lee has secrets of her own that she will do anything to keep hidden. And what will happen to Mason, as the dominoes begin to fall and the past comes to light? Perhaps it's no mystery someone is gone after all... Because You're Mine is a breathtaking novel of domestic drama and suspense. Prepare to stay up all night.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be held hostage by an Italian stallion? My name is Clara, and I am part-owner of a brothel called "The Castle." My empire is my home which I've worked hard to build a life from. A future. But one day, the infamous Luca Belatoni stepped into my office and demanded that I pay him protection money. Of course, I refused. Of course, he wouldn't take no for an answer. Now he is in my castle-holding me hostage. Trying to control my mind in business and my body in bed. Neither of which I will allow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Siren Publishing: The Stormy Glenn ManLove Collection: Erotic Romance, Alternative, Paranormal, Shapeshifters, Romantic Suspense, MM, HEA] Randal Kersey had spent his entire life terrified of his father and brother, but the last two years had been the worst. Being denied his mate nearly destroyed him. When he was forced to kidnap the mate of the clan enforcer, he thought his misery had come to an end and wished only for a swift death. Instead, the alpha wanted to meet his very human mate. Luca Buchanan had grown up around shifters, always on the outside, never accepted because he was human. Discovering Randal was his mate and they couldn't claim each other under threat of death hammered home the fact that he would never be good enough. When Alpha Colton offers his dream of mating Randal, Luca is all too happy to accept, but there are those that want to keep them apart, one for restitution because Randal kidnapped his mate, and one because his hatred has eaten away his soul. Not knowing who they can depend on, Randal and Luca have to trust the growing bond between them and hope that it's enough. Stormy Glenn is a Siren-exclusive author.
