Cancer Ships Aquarius
by Anyta Sunday Series: Signs of Love #5 Release Date: February 17th, 2020 Subgenre: Contemporary m/m romance Prepare to dip your toe into the biggest adventure of your life, Cancer. There’s romance in the air, and it smells deliciously salty. Dumped by the fifth girl in two years and abandoned by his best friends, Reid Glover is alone and in need of a home. Desperate, he interviews to become a live-in manny aboard widowed Sullivan Bell’s yacht, the Aquarian. The job? Not to look after thirteen-year-old Joanna. No, this child-mastermind needs Reid to befriend her dad, urge him to participate more in family life, encourage him to date, oh, and become his closest confidant and help him unleash his bottled emotions. No pressure. At least he’s not entirely out of his depth. Okay, so he may have a slight aversion to the ocean. And possibly attract more than his fair share of misadventure. But he is a pro at crying. Watch out, Sullivan. Reid is on his way with a family-sized carton of tissues. He will help Sullivan through his fears. Will help him find love again. Will absolutely not fall for him in the process . . . Caution, Cancer, how long will you fool yourself? 
So this is another f**kton of gratuitous boning with the Venery boys.
That’s it, that’s the blurb. “I had a horrible day," Tej said. "I mean, everything that could go wrong went wrong. And I saw you sitting in that booth and thought, Now there’s a guy I’d like to see bent over my bed. I think I’ll try to pick him up. End the day on a truly humiliating note.” Jude slid his hands down Tej’s back and tucked his fingertips beneath the waist of his jeans. “Go back to the bent over your bed part?” If you’re new here, you’ve been warned. This is pure, shameless smut. It doesn’t fit anywhere or take the place of anything in the Venery novels. It just is what it is. Smut for smut’s sake. If you’re old here, welcome back and thank you for taking one for the team. The bathroom was steamy and dark, a lit candle on the edge of the sink. Jav lolled in the tub, his hair slicked back. Stef brought in more candles and poured out two shots of rum to chug, then more generous tots to sip. He sat on the bathmat and read out loud. Jav rested an arm on the ledge of the tub, cheek on his bicep, damp fingers playing with a fold of Stef’s shirt. The walls of the little room drew close. Even the fixtures seemed to lean on their elbows and listen. “This is nice,” Jav said softly, drawing up Stef’s neck and behind his ear. Contains adults being nice to each other in adult situations using adult language. For those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they will like. 
The Unwilling : A Novel
by Kelly Braffet On Sale Date: February 11th, 2020 Fiction / Fantasy / Epic For fans of S.A. Chakraborty's City of Brass, Patrick Rothfuss' The Kingkiller Chronicles, and George RR Martin’s The Game of Thrones, this high concept medieval/high fantasy by Kelly Braffet is a deeply immersive and penetrating tale of magic, faith and pride. The Unwilling is the story of a young woman, born an orphan with a secret gift, who grows up trapped, thinking of herself as an afterthought, but who discovers that she does not have to be given power: she can take it. An epic tale of greed and ambition, cruelty and love, the novel is about bowing to traditions and burning them down. For reasons that nobody knows or seems willing to discuss, Judah the Foundling was raised as siblings along with Gavin, the heir of Highfall, in the great house beyond the wall, the seat of power at the center of Lord Elban’s great empire. There is a mysterious--one might say unnatural connection--between the two, and it is both the key to Judah’s survival until this point, and now her possible undoing. As Gavin prepares for his long-arranged marriage to Eleanor of Tiernan, and his brilliant but sickly younger brother Theron tries to avoid becoming commander of the army, Judah is left to realize that she has no actual power or position within the castle, in fact, no hope at all of ever traveling beyond the wall. Lord Elban--a man as powerful as he is cruel- has other plans for her, for all of them. She is a pawn to him and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Meanwhile, outside the wall, in the starving, desperate city, a Magus, a healer with a secret power unlike anything Highfall has seen in years is newly arrived from the provinces. He, too, has plans for the empire, and at the heart of those plans lies Judah. The girl who started off with no name and no history will be forced to discover there’s more to her story than she ever imagined. 
Some secrets never stay buried.
After a whirlwind romance, a young woman returns to the opulent, secluded Long Island mansion of her new fiancé Max Winter—a wealthy politician and recent widower—and a life of luxury she’s never known. But all is not as it appears at the Asherley estate. The house is steeped in the memory of Max’s beautiful first wife Rebekah, who haunts the young woman’s imagination and feeds her uncertainties, while his very alive teenage daughter Dani makes her life a living hell. She soon realizes there is no clear place for her in this twisted little family: Max and Dani circle each other like cats, a dynamic that both repels and fascinates her, and he harbors political ambitions with which he will allow no woman—alive or dead—to interfere. As the soon-to-be second Mrs. Winter grows more in love with Max, and more afraid of Dani, she is drawn deeper into the family’s dark secrets—the kind of secrets that could kill her, too. The Winters is a riveting story about what happens when a family’s ghosts resurface and threaten to upend everything. {Exclusive Q & A and Giveaway} Everyday History by Alice Archer (@ByAliceArcher @ANovelTakePR)1/31/2020
