Fearless by Annie Jocoby
(Fearless #1)
Synopsis:
BOOK ONE OF A PLANNED TRILOGY
BOOK TWO, SECRETS AND LIES, IS AVAILABLE NOW!
*Warning* Strong language and sexual situations. Ends in MAJOR cliffhanger. Not for the faint of heart.
Beautiful heiress Dalilah Gallagher, a former child art prodigy, has lost her way. Harsh criticism in her formative years has left her floundering and without the artistic voice that once centered her life. Now, at the age of 20, she has spent the last nine years trying to reclaim what she lost.
Her struggles lead her to the nude-modeling world in New York City, where she hopes she will find her passion for art again. What she finds is surprising: Her artistic voice isn’t gone, merely misplaced.
Luke Roberts has a different problem. Raised by a solid, working-class fisherman in Maine, Luke is a gifted artist struggling to get a foothold in the busy New York City art scene. His gifts attract the attention of a wealthy benefactor, Blake Nottingham, who finds himself fascinated with Dalilah. Nottingham commissions Luke to provide him with a piece of art: A painting of Dalilah.
As the two young artists fall in love, Dalilah finds her artistic voice once more, so she’ll do anything to help Luke find the prominence he deserves. This leads to a dangerous game of deceit that puts Dalilah in Nottingham’s clutches when she tries to manipulate him into helping Luke.
Nottingham isn’t easily manipulated, though, and things go seriously awry for Dalilah. What happens when the manipulated becomes the manipulator?
This is a New Adult Contemporary Romance. Age groups are 18+. It has some sexually explicit scenes.

AUTHOR BIO:
Annie Jocoby is the author of 8 contemporary romance novels and 3 New Adult contemporary romance novels. Her motivation to begin writing these novels is that she was interested in writing about rich men who actually love and respect their women. Her heroes are alpha and damaged, yet also genuinely good guys.
Ryan, Nick, Luke and Asher are all complicated characters who have experienced plenty of darkness, yet always seek the light. They would all go to the ends of the earth to protect the women they love. And they’re all sexy, enigmatic, magnetic and great in bed.
All of Annie’s books have things in common: they all combine a touch of mystery and intrigue with drama, love, and lots of hot sex. Some of the books have action and even some criminal elements in them. Her current book, in fact, is her first book that would be classified as straight romantic suspense, although it also combines definite elements of the thriller genre! If you’re in the market for a book that is fast-paced, where the heroes are beautiful and wealthy, and the heroines are strong, vulnerable and flawed, then try these books out!

Author Interview:
Please
start by telling us a little about yourself (education, jobs, significant
other, children, pets, etc.) I’m a lawyer by trade. I have a boyfriend that I’ve been with for
8 years, no children, and two doggies who are the light of my life.
Tell us
about your latest New Adult book and what inspired you to write it. It’s about Dalilah,
a child prodigy, and Luke, a wildly talented and penniless artist. I was
inspired to write it because Dalilah was the child of my first couple, Ryan and
Iris, and I wanted to explore her story.
The New
Adult genre is fairly new. What's your definition of it? How does it differ
from Young Adult or just regular Adult books? It’s about people who are leaving the
nest and trying to find where they fit into the world. It differs from YA,
because YA is more high school age, and centers of kids living at home. Regular
adult books is more when the people are established in their careers and
what-not.
Do you
belong to any critique groups and/or do you have other people read your work as
you're writing it? Who's brutally honest and who's a cheerleader? Which do you prefer? I belonged to many critique circles when I first started
out. I have a problem with “brutal honesty,” because, often, it’s just a matter
of taste - they don’t like your work for the same reason some people don’t like
olives or chocolate - it’s just for them. Yet they rip you apart, which isn’t
necessarily right. But, if the person has something to say that isn’t just a
matter of perception, then I’m all ears. I always want to improve.
What
are your all-time favorite authors/books? My all-time favorite book is The
Thornbirds.
Do you
outline before you write or just dive head-first into a manuscript? Do you maintain a schedule for writing, or is it more haphazard? Just dive
in head-first. I don’t maintain a writing schedule, either, although I try.
Where
do you do your best writing? (Ex: desk in your office, public library, under a
tree in the park, in front of a Real Housewives TV marathon, etc.) Do
you like music or some other background
noise, or do you need quiet? I like to sit on my bed with MSNBC on in the
background. I’m kinda a political junkie, and I do need some type of background
noise.
What
are the best and worst parts of writing a book? Best part is getting
to know the characters. Worst part is the insecure feeling I get when I feel
like my work might not be well-received.
When
you're driving and you have a sudden, brilliant idea for the new manuscript
you're working on, what do you do? (Ex: pull over and fire up the laptop, keep
driving while scribbling on a
McDonald's bag, tell Siri, etc.) Tell Siri.
Imagine
you have a whole day free for shopping. Where do you go? (Mall, unique
boutiques, flea market, antique shops, bookstore, home improvement store, etc.) Getting a mani-pedi
and heading to the mall.
What
are the top 5 titles in your Netflix queue? (Be honest.) Or if you don't have a
Netflix queue, which books are on your bedside table? (Again, be honest.) Mad Men (I’ve been
binge-watching!), The Wolf of Wall Street (love Scorsese!), Orange is the New
Black, House of Cards, Queer as Folk.
Do you
prefer to read ebooks or print? Ebooks.
Where
is your favorite place in the world? San Francisco. Such a gorgeous city.
Do you
have any advice for people who want to write a book? Yes - believe in
yourself and keep going.
Please give us your website and any other links you'd like included in the
interview. www.anniejocoby.com

(PRG Investigations, #2)
Synopsis:
Ten days ago, someone threw a brick through my front window. Nine days ago, someone keyed my truck right in my driveway. Eight days ago, someone spray painted the words ‘stay away’ across my garage door. That one really pissed me off. The jerk didn’t even have the courtesy to tell me what the hell I need to stay away from.
Each day it’s something new, a new piece of my property vandalized, and I’ve had enough.
Wanting a security system, something with cameras so I can catch the vandal, I let my best friend hook me up with her cousin, a private investigator with the PRG Investigations team.
His name is Vance and I’ve secretly been in love with him for three years. He’s a badass, a little scary, incredibly hot, and he’s never showed an interest in me … until now.

#Poser by Cambria Hebert cover reveal
#Poser (Hashtag Series #5) by Cambria Hebert
Synopsis:
Posers gonna pose
I am a man who had nothing, but found everything.
I’ll never go back to nothing ever again.
I vowed to protect her, and that’s exactly what I’m gonna do.
The pictures I stumbled upon haunt me still, the secret I shoulder is heavy.
They say secrets put distance between two people, but the truth is far more destructive than keeping it will ever be.
I won’t ever tell. She can’t ever know.
When I look in the mirror my reflection is of who I’m afraid I’ll become and not the man I am.
It makes me feel like a poser, no better than all the others pretending to be exactly who they aren’t.
How does a man keep it together when everything is unraveling right here in his hands?
I didn’t start any of this.
I never asked for it.
But it came knocking at my door.
When secrets and threats knock, I don’t hide.
I open the door.
Because the best way to take down a poser is to be one.
