Angelina Troy, one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood, has been looking forward to moving into the home she purchased in New England. Despite protests from both her personal assistant and her agent, she’s ready to make some changes in her life. Angelina can’t think of a better place to do that than North Salem, where she can be close to her family and have the time she craves as she attempts to move her career away from starring in movies to writing them. Since she’s in town again, she also hopes to get to know a certain FBI special agent with a smile capable of sending her pulse into overdrive.

Like a lot of men, Dakota Smith was attracted to Angelina the first time he met her last summer. However, it’s not her beauty that has him wanting to get better acquainted with her. Over the past year, he’s learned firsthand that she values family and friends as much as he does. So when she invites him to dinner one evening, he accepts with no hesitation.

It’s not long before a simple dinner date turns into much more. Unfortunately, Dakota isn’t the only North Salem resident Angelina has caught the eye of. And Shane Gates will do anything to have her for himself.

When Love Strikes is the sixth book in USA Today Best Selling Author Christina Tetreault’s Love On The North Shore Series. While it can easily be read as a standalone story, you’ll likely enjoy reading the other books, too.

Her Shadow

by Amber Scrolls Erotica
4.3 stars – 16 reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:

Her Shadow is an erotic story that is sensually indulgent, full of wild abandon, and mysterious.

With Hunter, Monique explores her shadow. She discovers what holds her back from trusting and how to let go into a full surrender.

Monique is at the river feeling the sun beating in between her thighs when she sees a man walking towards her.

“I’m Hunter,” he says.

Monique can almost feel his breath on her skin. She gives him a seductive smile and a rush of carnal adrenaline rises in her. She is a warm fire, begging for him.

Monique reaches for him and they link hands, lock eyes.

His hand is warm and there is presence in his grasp, a balance of giving and receiving. She feels his masculine strength as she looks into his blue eyes.

“Monique,” she says. She feels so open to him, so comfortable, so soon.

She whimpers at the thought of him inside of her, caressing her, and traveling the course of her body with his hands. She wants his small pressures, his heavy pressures, anything he will give her. Surrendering to him is all she craves and desires.

by Eve Silver
4.3 stars – 276 reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:

Dagan Krayl, the Underworld’s most powerful soul reaper, is the demigod son of the evil god Sutekh. He’s on a mission to find his murdered brother’s remains and resurrect him, but resurrection means that the secrets carried into death would be released and, with them, a war that could end gods and mankind alike.

Roxy Tam is searching for the same thing, but for completely different reasons. She means to make certain that the remains don’t fall into Sutekh’s hands, and that the soul reapers do not reanimate their fallen comrade. As a Daughter of Aset, Roxy is tasked with the protection of the human race, and if that means thwarting an all-powerful soul reaper and making certain his dead brother stays dead, so be it. But when Roxy sees Dagan face-to-face, she realizes that she has met him once before—a meeting that changed her life forever.

Neither Dagan nor Roxy expects to join forces for the sake of mankind. Or to have their loyalties tested as they struggle against treachery, betrayal and the potent desire that threatens to consume them both.

The gods are gone, long ago trapped in stones and lost to the ages. A godless nation rises to power, fueled by a brilliant and genocidal dictator who is willing to manipulate souls and embrace dark magics to spread his empire over the whole of the Five Lands.

Kenton is the last of his people, desperately searching for others who can aid in his quest to unearth the gods from their hiding places and restore goodness and order to the world. As Kenton gathers together the legendary godbearers—who are said to be able to retrieve the gods, wherever they lie—he finds an unlikely ally in Daniella, the daughter of the dictator himself.

Daniella is tired of being her father’s puppet, all too eager to be out of his grasp. But as they travel together, Kenton begins to suspect she may be something far more dangerous than a dictator’s pawn.

Instead, she may be his most deadly weapon.

So when blonde, beautiful Taylor waltzes in one sunny afternoon, Alice is ready for the distraction of an unpredictable new friend.

As Alice and Taylor get closer, Alice confesses the real reason she lost her job — a hotel guest, the wealthy real estate mogul Weston Chambers, assaulted her.

But then Weston Chambers turns up dead.

And Taylor is nowhere to be found.

Now Alice is the prime suspect in the murder. But can she track down Taylor — and unravel the truth about her new friend’s real motives — before it’s too late?
