Heat Level 4 – R Rated

The Oldest Word by Johnny Firic

“Plural identity is where respectful practice begins.”
Who are you? Just the one body and mind? Does your story begin with your birth? Or how far back would you go?

The Oldest Word spans ten thousand years and more than a dozen settings. Human contradictions are reconciled time and again, with tragedy and humor feeding off each other. From the twin mirror mazes of history and psychology, amid ever-shifting social and natural landscapes, enduring patterns emerge.

The story opens with the discovery of a mysterious box from the distant past. Its makers are five orphaned friends who hope to help civilizational knowledge survive disruptive climate change centuries in the future: the ending of the Ice Age. The bar is continuously raised as the box travels through space and time to the present day. Readers are tacitly encouraged to partner with the author and fill in the blanks by considering their metaphorical boxes, lessons for the future from their past.

Baby by My Best Friend’s Daddy by Josie Hart

I like my men how I like my wine,
Tasty, full-bodied, and twice my age… like my best friend’s dad.

I’m a dedicated nurse, and the responsible one (usually).
So catching a ride after a night of drinking makes good sense.

Except when that ride is loaded silver fox Landon Leggatt.
And OH, did I ride.

But afterward, the jerk acted like nothing happened between us,
And left me wondering if the sparks were only in my head.

I thought I’d gotten over him, until he hurts his ankle,
And my best friend calls in a favor for my professional help.

Now I’m stuck looking after this brooding grump,
And still pissed that he could forget me so easily.

But one look has my heart beating faster than his Ferrari,
His hand stroking down my arm gives me full body chills,
And I’m back in his bed again.

This was wrong on so many levels, and now I’m at a crossroads:
Lose him,
Or lose my best friend.

And things just got much more complicated,
Because now I have to tell my BFF a half-sister is on the way…

Baby by my Best Friend’s Daddy is a deliciously steamy age gap standalone romance guaranteed to give you the ultimate tingles. No cheating and no cliffhangers, only a highly satisfying HEA for all.

Forgotten Storm by A.R. Vagnetti

***The Revised and Expanded Edition***

How many years did I drag my ass from one small town to another, singing and bartending to make ends meet? I’ve lost count. As a matter of fact, I lost every memory of my life before the age of seventeen. And that’s not even the weirdest part. At night, in my dreams, I’m guided by a drop-dead gorgeous, panty-wetting fantasy who makes my body sing and claims to be my Guardian.

When the stunning man miraculously shows up on my doorstep, I don’t know whether to jump his bones or shoot him in the head. But the second his lips touched mine; it triggered an explosion of suppressed memories I was better off not knowing. And the things that go bump in the night? Yeah, those are real, and apparently, I’m some prophesied bringer of peace to all the monsters.

Not sure what dickwad wrote that thing, but this girl can’t even get through her day without coffee. How the hell does Mr. Tall Dark And Handsome expect me to face off with my greatest fear and embrace my so-called destiny?

We are so screwed.

If things like violence, blood, gore, references to rape, consensual BDSM play with intense sexual scenes, graphic language, and vampires are triggers for you, then move along; this is NOT the book for you. In fact, my entire Storm series is NOT for you.
If it is, welcome to my sick mind.
