What I’ve Been Reading:
New in Evie Alexander‘s Foxbrooke series:
An Unholy Affair (#2)
Will he show her heaven, or take her straight to hell?
Vicar Eveline Shaw has always dreamed of finding ‘the one’, but her job keeps getting in the way. She may be kind and beautiful, but men run a mile when they discover who her boss is. Only one person has ever made her soul sing — a perfect stranger who walked away without a second glance.
Escort Jack Newton’s got a talent few men have, and it’s made him rich. But his job’s a dirty secret, and as his bank account gets bigger, his heart gets smaller. He left his one chance at happiness at a bar and didn’t look back.
When Jack’s dragged back to Somerset after his abusive father dies, he falls into a nightmare. His dream woman may be living in Foxbrooke, but she wants a happy-ever-after and he’s an escort with no plans to stick around.
Can Jack show Eveline heaven and keep his secret safe, or are they both headed straight for hell?
New Works By Previous Guests:
New from AJ Super, the end of her Seven Stars Saga (trilogy):
Queen of the Black (#3)
Watch your world burn.
After taking the Protectorate under her rule, the pinnacle of the Seven Stars pantheon, Nyx Marcus, can only see one dark path: kill her love’s murderer. When she finds herself at odds with her sibling Stars, Erebus and Phoebe, she discovers that they have a secret, and to keep it, they will protect his killer.
Stopping at nothing to exact revenge, the Star of Nyx uses her new powers to their deadliest while searching until the Erebus’ and Phoebe’s secrets begin to unravel. However, a consortium of the African Continental Governance, North American Union, and the Church of the Seven declare Nyx a heretic despite her claimed role as Queen of the Protectorate.
To survive, Nyx strives to become the God of Gods, rising above all others, and she steps down the path to become an AI/human supercomputer. But the dangerous secrets, as well as her revenge, could consume her, and as she learns to control her sibling’s powers, the Protectorate, her family, and her life race towards a fiery end.
The thrilling conclusion to the Seven Stars Saga is here.
