Summoned by Rainy Kaye.

Twenty-three year old Dimitri has to do what he is told—literally. Controlled by a paranormal bond, he is forced to use his wits to fulfill unlimited deadly wishes made by multimillionaire Karl Walker.

Dimitri has no idea how his family line became trapped in the genie bond. He just knows resisting has never ended well. When he meets Syd—assertive, sexy, intelligent Syd—he becomes determined to make her his own. Except Karl has ensured Dimitri can't tell anyone about the bond, and Syd isn't the type to tolerate secrets.

Then Karl starts sending him away on back-to-back wishes. Unable to balance love and lies, Dimitri sets out to uncover Karl's ultimate plan and put it to an end. But doing so forces him to confront the one wish he never saw coming—the wish that will destroy him.

Cover Reveal: The Guestbook

Today we bring you the cover for The Guestbook by Holly Martin.

 The Guestbook by Holly Martin.

Welcome to Willow Cottage – throw open the shutters, let in the sea breeze and make yourself completely at home. Oh, and please do leave a comment in the Guestbook!

As landlady of Willow Cottage, the young widow Annie Butterworth is always on hand with tea, sympathy or strong Norfolk cider - whatever her colorful array of guests require.  A flick through the messages in the leather-bound cottage guestbook gives a tantalizing glimpse into the lives of everyone who passes through her doors.

This includes Annie herself - especially now celebrity crime writer Oliver Black, is back in town. He might grace the covers of gossip magazines with a different glamorous supermodel draped on his arm every week, but to Annie, he’s always just been Olly, the man who Annie shared her first kiss with.

Through the pages of the Guestbook Annie and Olly, along with all the guests that arrive at the seaside retreat, struggle with love, loss, mystery, joy, happiness, guilt…and the odd spot of naked rambling!

Forget sending postcards saying 'wish you were here' - one visit to Willow Cottage and you’ll wish you could stay forever.

Release Date: February 14, 2014

Repossessed Release Day Giveaway

Today is the release of Repossessed by Shawntelle Madison and we are celebrating with a giveaway.

Keep reading for a chance to win a fab swag pack!

Repossessed (Warlock Repo Man Chronicles #1) by Shawntelle Madison.

Supernatural matchmaker Tessa Dandridge knows a little mist here and a little magic there will help reckless werewolves and precocious pixies find love. That is, until her magical Smythe scroll is lost in her repo’ed car and she can’t contact her V.I.P. clients. To connect with an important client cavorting in the fifth dimension, Tessa must depend on handsome Rob Shin, a warlock repo man, to enter Limbo and find her Smythe scroll.

Rob has money problems of his own, thanks to the bank determined to foreclose on his elderly aunt and uncle’s home. Repossessing magic wands and cursed pianos from disgruntled warlocks isn’t the best pay, but the Navy SEAL works well as a repo man to pay off his family’s debts. Rob’s repossession jobs catch up with him when a powerful warlock seeks to end his life for his constant meddling, drawing Tessa in the middle.

Release Date: January 20, 2014

Kindle First: The Line by J.D. Horn

Have you been dying to read The Line ever since our interview with J.D. Horn?  Well you're in luck! 

The Line is one of this month's Kindle First titles.  If you have an Amazon Prime account, go to the Kindle First page and grab your free copy today...before the book is available to the public.  Cool deal, right?

The Line (Witching Savannah #1) by J.D. Horn

Savannah is considered a Southern treasure, a city of beauty with a rich, colorful past. Some might even call it magical…

To the uninitiated, Savannah shows only her bright face and genteel manner. Those who know her well, though, can see beyond her colonial trappings and small-city charm to a world where witchcraft is respected, Hoodoo is feared, and spirits linger. Mercy Taylor is all too familiar with the supernatural side of Savannah, being a member of the most powerful family of witches in the South.

Despite being powerless herself, of course.

Having grown up without magic of her own, in the shadow of her talented and charismatic twin sister, Mercy has always thought herself content. But when a series of mishaps—culminating in the death of the Taylor matriarch—leaves a vacuum in the mystical underpinnings of Savannah, she finds herself thrust into a mystery that could shake her family apart…and unleash a darkness the line of Taylor witches has been keeping at bay for generations.

In The Line, the first book of the Witching Savannah series, J.D. Horn weaves magic, romance, and betrayal into a captivating Southern Gothic fantasy with a contemporary flare.

Release Date:  February 1, 2014

Q+A with Shawntelle Madison (Repossessed)

Please welcome today's paranormal guest author Shawntelle Madison!  Shawntelle is the author of the Hadley Werewolves series (Bitten by Deceit, Bitten by Treachery), the Coveted series (Coveted, Kept, Compelled), and the Warlock Repo Man Chronicles (Repossessed).

EJ:  When did you begin writing?

Shawntelle:  I started writing in middle school, but I didn't really get serious until 2008 after college and having kids. I was far too busy in college to write.

EJ:  What brought you to the paranormal genre?

Shawntelle:  I've always loved sci-fi/fantasy so it was only nature to write in that genre. I read a great deal of science fiction in high school from the classics to the recent fiction at the time.

EJ:  If you could be any paranormal or have any one supernatural talent, what would it be? Why?

Shawntelle:  If I could chose one, I'd say werewolves. I love writing about them. There is just something really sexy about a primal beast lurking under a man’s skin. Unlike a vampire who pretty much wants to drain your blood. That's not very sexy.

EJ:  Tell us why readers will enjoy your new release.

Shawntelle:  My next release will be next month on January 20th. Repossessed is a novel in the universe of my Coveted series. It's about a witch matchmaker and a warlock repo man. She runs into problems with her business and she needs to ride along with Rob on his repo missions. She gets mixed up with the bad guys Rob faces.
I had so much fun writing this book. After writing a hoarder werewolf, there was no direction to go except a warlock repo man, a leprechaun pimp, and a talking satchel. And that is just a pinch of fun I tossed into that book. If you like fun paranormal romance, my books are for you.

EJ:  If your book(s) were being made into a movie, who would you cast for the leading roles? Why?

Shawntelle:  I love this question!
Natalya-Megan Fox (I had originally pictured a young Joanne Whalley)
Thorn-Wilson Bethel (From Hart of Dixie) or maybe Channing Tatum
Aggie-Deborah Ann Woll (True Blood)
From Repossessed:
Rob Shin - Rain (He was in Ninja Assassin)
Tessa - Jessica Alba
