Another King – New Release Alert

KING OF DEVON BY NALEIGHNA KAI IS LIVE!!!

When a coma patient becomes pregnant under mysterious circumstances, Jai’s medical facility and employees come under intense government, media, and law enforcement scrutiny.
During the investigation, he receives a mysterious call summoning him to The Castle following an attempt on his mentor’s life. Soon, Jai is thrust into a position and a brotherhood that will require more of him than he’s prepared to give. With it, a dark family secret explodes that has the potential to destroy the people he loves most.

Temple Devaughn survives a horrific ordeal that lands her in a year-long coma. She finally awakens, only to find she’s been violated and now has a child. The police are investigating the men who cared for her at a medical center that employs “controversial” but highly successful methods. Yet, she has no choice but to trust Jai after she learns the lengths her family has gone to get their hands on a fortune they’ve kept hidden all this time. Complications arise, and Jai is forced to step in to protect Temple from the revenge-seeking perpetrator while showing that he can guard her heart as well.

Will Jai be able to fend off their enemies, fulfill his destiny at The Castle, and navigate a relationship with Temple that is marred by betrayal, mystery, and deadly attempts to silence her once and for all?

New Release Alert – Kings of the Castle

👑 👑 HAPPY RELEASE DAY!!! 👑 👑

KINGS OF THE CASTLE.

When their mentor and founder of The Castle ends up on the business end of an assassination attempt, Grant, Alejandro, Shaz, Mariano, Vikkas, Jai, Daron, Kaleb, and Dwayne are snatched from their daily lives and successful businesses in order to right old wrongs and track down the men responsible for the attempt on his life. This is the beginning of a series of dangerous challenges that will alter the path of their lives forever. Not to mention, it will also draw the ire and deadly intent of current members—dirty politicians, the Russian mafia, American crime lords, and businessmen with their own sordid agendas who have tainted the humanitarian principles the Castle was founded on. These men wield major influence across the globe and have every intention of keeping the current state of things intact. Even if they have to increase Chicago’s body count to do so.

The powerful men, who were chosen by Khalil Germaine, are unexpectedly brought together by their pasts and current circumstances and will become a force to be reckoned with as they do whatever it takes to bring the Castle back to its original purpose. Fate made them brothers. Protecting the Castle, each other, and the women they love will make them Kings.

It’s time to discover The Castle. Book 1 is the introduction to The Castle and full story of Vikkas and Milan. Books 2-9 are standalones that can be read in any order.

Good Read Alert – The Blind Shot

THE BLIND SHOT BY J.L. CAMPBELL

When all else fails, love will find a way.

Kofi Danquah has travelled halfway around the globe for fifteen years, satisfying his need for advancement and adventure. In that time, he has never met another woman as intriguing as Regina Chu. She’s a chameleon—a wild child with issues she hides behind a playful persona.

In Gina’s eyes, Kofi is a mystery—exotic, intense and secretive. His sober nature balances her bubbly personality and unconventional approach to life. Plus, he’s appealing enough to make her forget they’re from separate worlds.

Time spent together changes Kofi and Gina’s platonic relationship into an attraction that burns hot despite their cultural differences and the disapproval of their families. But fairy tales don’t always last and true love needs fertile soil in which to bloom.

#National Book Lovers Day

Today is the day for all lovers of books. To honor this special event, let’s post our favorite book quotes.

I’ll go first. I have two favorites. The first is from the woman that inspired me to put words on paper, Maya Angelou. From “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings”:

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
― Maya Angelou

And from my new favorite. I love the way she paints a picture with words. Leesa Cross-Smith’s “Whiskey & Ribbons”:

“I can hear it coming. Healing. The train tracks leading to my heart are warmed by it. I can put my hand there and feel it hot. It is rattling towards me. Rumbling. The buzzing sound of a flickering light at the end of the tunnel. A grief train rumbling away from us. A healing train coming our way… Everything. In rhythm. All of it – glowing and glowing – light spilling and pouring and rushing through the cracks of the bits glued back together. This shattered life. This broken bright.”
― Leesa Cross-Smith

Now it’s your turn. In the comments below, share your favorite book(s) and add a quote.

Happy Reading.
