Release Blitz & Exclusive Guest Post: Pride by Sandra Marton
About The Book:
Title: Pride
Series: In Wilde Country #1
Author: Sandra Marton
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 30, 2014
Luca Bellini is tough. He’s had to be, to make it to the top. Luca grew up the son of an emotional Sicilian mother and a cold American father and learned, as an adult, that his entire life was a lie. How did he deal with that? By believing in control. In being in charge. Cheyenne McKenna is tough, too. She’s had to be, to make it to the top. Cheyenne grew up without a father, and with a mother who saw her as something to trade for cheap whiskey. How did Cheyenne deal with that? Right. By believing in control. By being in charge.Cheyenne and Luca meet by accident. The sex sizzles, but Luca wants more. He wants to be in control. He wants dominance, and it doesn’t take long before he decides that the way he can achieve it is by leading Cheyenne into a world of silk scarves and velvet blindfolds, wide beds and lightly-bound wrists. But Luca is in for a lesson, too. He’s going to learn that what really separates them is not a fight for power but the folly of pride.

My 5 Favorite Things About Luca by Sandra Marton
Luca Bellini is my newest hero. I always fall in love with the men I create, but even I have to admit that Luca is special. I tell his story in my brand new In Wilde Country book, Pride. It’s about Luca and Cheyenne McKenna. Luca is rich, a little arrogant, and he’s accustomed to women wanting him—and then he meets Cheyenne. She’s rich, too, and she’s a lot arrogant! She’s also accustomed to men wanting her…but she’ll accept them strictly on her own terms. That will never suit Luca, and when they fall into bed just hours after they meet and Cheyenne takes charge, Luca is determined to get even—and he will, in the hottest, sexiest ways possible. There’s only one problem. What neither of them expects is that their journey into the world of passion will lead to the one emotion that frightens them both. Love.
MY 5 FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT LUCA
1. I absolutely adore his accent! There’s nothing sexier than a gorgeous guy whispering love words to his woman in a husky Italian accent.
2. I love how passionate he is in bed. Luca instinctively knows just what a woman wants. There are times Cheyenne wants to be seduced—and times she wants to be taken. Cheyenne never has to ask him for what she desires. He knows.
3. I love how he looks. Dark hair. Blue eyes. A little five o’clock shadow on his jaw. I love that he looks spectacular in a custom-made tux and equally spectacular in snug, faded jeans and a T-shirt. He’s gorgeous, no matter what he wears.
4. I love that he’s tender when Cheyenne needs him to be tender. There’s something incredibly romantic about a powerful man who isn’t afraid to show that he has a heart.
5. I love how he reacts when he learns the dark secrets of Cheyenne’s past. All his protective instincts take over, and what woman wouldn’t want such a tough, sexy, ruggedly beautiful protector in her life?

Release Day: Lucky Harbor #11: He's So Fine by Jill Shalvis
About The Book:
Title: He’s So Fine
Series: Lucky Harbor #11
Author: Jill Shalvis
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
Release Date: September 30, 2014
Genre: Contemporary Romance
For Olivia Bentley, Lucky Harbor is more than the town where she runs her new vintage shop. It's the place where folks are friendly to strangers-and nobody knows her real name. Olivia does a good job of keeping her past buried, not getting too cozy with anyone . . . until she sees a man drowning. Suddenly she's rushing into the surf, getting up close and personal with the hottest guy she's ever laid hands on.
Charter boat captain Cole Donovan has no problem with a gorgeous woman throwing her arms around his neck in an effort to "save" him. In fact, he'd like to spend a lot more time skin-to-skin with Olivia. He's just not expecting that real trouble is about to come her way. Will it bring her deeper into Cole's heart, or will it be the end of Olivia's days in little Lucky Harbor?
Excerpt:
“Dry off,” Cole said, and stepped back from Olivia.
She nodded but didn’t move.
“Olivia?” he asked.
Her face was a mask of misery. “Mmmy arms won’t wwwork.”
Shit. He quickly and gently pushed her back down to the bench, sat at her side, and began to pile blankets over the top of them both.
“Wwhat are you ddoing?”
“Sharing my body heat,” he said.
“I cccan’t feel any hhheat.”
“You will.” Beneath the blankets, he reached for the towel she still had wrapped around her. “Don’t freak,” he warned. “I’m just going to remove the wet towel and pull you into me.”
She opened her mouth, but using her sluggishness to his benefit, Cole quicklystripped the towel away from her, wrapping his arms around her, pulling her into him as two things happened simultaneously. One, she squeaked. Probably trying to formulate her next threat.
And two—holy shit—he realized she was completely, totally, one hundred percent naked beneath the layer of blankets.
And pissed. “Yyyour pants!” she gasped. “Thththey’re cccold!”
“Sorry, but I’m trying to do the right thing here,” he said through clenched teeth. Jesus. He couldn’t see a thing below her neck, but he could sure as hell feel her. His hands were on her hip and low on her back, respectively, not touching anything he shouldn’t be, but damn she was soft, and at the feel of her, his brain clicked off. Just completely flatlined.
