#0 - The Intrusion
The end is just the beginning.
Nearing high school graduation, Tilly Morgan’s eager to leave her small Texas town. Armed with a plan to start fresh with her older sister in Florida, her dreams are obliterated when an electromagnetic pulse ravages the planet, rendering the world’s electrical grid useless and throwing Tilly's community into chaos.
No technology.
No modern conveniences.
No power.
Widespread panic tears across the country and roving bands of looters and rioters overpower the weak to take what they want.
Max Jacobsen, Callahan High School's bad boy troublemaker, teams up with Tilly in a bid for survival and protection. There’s more to Max than he shows and Tilly finds herself drawn to his quiet strength and morally-ambiguous ways. Their constant companionship creates a strong bond of friendship... and maybe something more.
Braving each incoming threat together, Tilly and Max learn what it means to protect the ones they love.
But when black spaceships descend from the sky, an even greater threat looms over mankind—a fate far worse than the loss of electricity.

#1 - The Descendant
She wants her world back; he wants her heart.
Tilly Morgan and her four-legged companion, Kodiak, are trying to survive an alien arrival. Two years ago, the unearthly visitors unleashed devastation--a world-wide EMP followed by a deadly virus that wiped out more than half of humanity. Traversing the lonely landscape, she runs into an alien on patrol with one order: eradicate all human life. A charismatic, dark-haired stranger named Jareth comes to her aid, and she reluctantly allows him to join her quest to find her sister.  As her group travels the desolate world and inches closer to her goal, she's forced to examine her unwanted feelings for Jareth and come to terms with her heart, even if the truth threatens to destroy her and everything she's come to believe. The Descendant is the first book in a sci-fi romance series based in a post-apocalyptic world. If you like slow-burn romances, post-apocalyptic survival, and shocking plot twists, then you'll love The Descendant by Melissa Riddell. Dive into The Descendant to experience this mesmerizing story today!

#2 - The Betrayer
Surrender her heart or save the world?
The Henokans, in hot pursuit of the Baltins, have arrived on Earth. Escorted to the last major remnant of humans and the most secure stronghold in the United States, Tilly’s given two choices: cooperate or die. The United States Air Force and the Henokan army have formed an alliance called DAWN, and they plan to use her as bait to prevent an otherwise inevitable war.
General Lathan Rhys, the Henokan leader and Baltin Prince’s archenemy, wants more than her cooperation, though; he wants vengeance and companionship.
As Tilly and Kodiak come to terms with their new reality, she’s forced to re-examine the little she knows of Jareth. General Rhys urges her to forget about him and help heal what remains of humanity. The choice should be simple, but love demands a steep price. But when Tilly re-emerges into the world, she sees a bigger picture of the damage and injustice the Baltins have inflicted.
Humans need help. Can she do her part to save what’s left of humanity and continue the journey to find her sister? Will one more of Jareth’s lies push her over the edge in the fight for her heart and planet?
Only one thing’s for sure—he’ll never back down when it comes to holding her love, even if it means destroying everything in his path.

#3 - The Descendant
Love is war, and war is at the heart of change evolution
Jareth’s final betrayal pushes Tilly over the edge. Desperate to shove him out of her heart like a bad memory, she falls into despair. General Lathan Rhys recruits Harper Serrano to remind Tilly there are bigger things at stake than a broken heart, like humanity’s survival. She knows he’s right and works her way through the ranks to become Earth’s first representative to the alien race. Kodiak and Harper also train at her side and become new recruits for the Henokan army.
When the group takes the fight to the battlefield, Jareth abducts Tilly and whisks her back to the Staleth. Volatile and angry, he decides to do what he should’ve done all along—claim her and impose absolute rule over the Baltin Council.
But Tilly has her own secret. When Jareth discovers what she’s hiding, it changes the world forever.

What happens when a Rock God falls for his enemy?

Angela Morales

I came to Mesa Palms for a fresh start after my divorce. Needing the serenity and calm of the desert, I spend my afternoons as a DJ rocking the city. It might not be the most glamorous job, but I love the no-frills life and answering only to my cat.

That is, until one day, England’s biggest God of Nu Rock walks in like he owns the place, and my boss forces me to interview the arrogant jerk on-air. The entire interview turns into a horrible disaster, but it gets even worse when Viktor sets his sights on me. He thinks he can seduce me with his bedroom eyes, but I’ve dealt with men like him before. I’ll chew him up and spit him out so hard he’ll land back in England, where he belongs.

Viktor Farrow

When I walked into the dumpy little radio station, I’ll admit I didn’t think much of it--until I saw the little angel sitting in front of the microphone with a snarky smile. Yeah, I've made some terrible mistakes in my past, but it’s been years and I’ve cleaned up my act. No drugs. No alcohol. No messing around.

Does Angela, the little demon sent to torture me, believe it? That’s a big, fat bloody no. But I have a plan—Operation Angel Seducer. Once it’s sprung, she’ll be putty in my quite capable hands. After all, no woman has ever resisted the lead singer of Angry Gods.




Lip Services is ecstatic to be hosting the series cover reveal for Heels, Rhymes, & Nursery Crimes, a new series of novellas featuring ladies who love to bend the law. We would love for you to join us in sharing the covers for this amazing new series. 


Desperate Desires is a shifter MC book based in the Dark Leopards MC universe. The story has been reworked, expanded, and re-edited.

SNOW
As a young boy, abandoned by my parents and ripped apart from my twin sister, I learned early on that the world was full of evil and hate. I survived by living between the light and darkness, using my shifter abilities to stay alive…until one mistake should have cost me my life. Instead, it became my salvation and gave me a family and band of brothers who had my back no matter what. 

The Dark Leopards MC was not a gang to be trifled with, and many gave us a wide birth, and as the Sergeant At Arms, I ensured that’s the way it stayed. But someone was trying to encroach on our territory and begin a war. I suspect the woman I saved, the woman whom I discover is my mate, is tied to it all somehow. I just have to figure out the puzzle before it’s too late. 

VERITY
I was only trying to help a friend. The last thing I ever thought is that my friend would try to kidnap me, but thankfully someone or something saved me. Rushing to meet my roommate, Siam, I got another shock when the gang responsible for my brother’s death are her friends. I didn’t care if her brother had mesmerizing eyes or if I had a hard time not thinking about him. He was the enemy!  

But even as my enemy, he may be my only chance to stay alive and learn the truth. And if Snow is the one protecting me in and out of bed, I wouldn’t complain too much.

Primary Seduction by Elouise East

PRIMARY SEDUCTION
AUTHOR: ELOUISE EAST
GENRE: MM ROMANCE
COVER DESIGNER: LEE QUAIL COVER DESIGNS
RELEASE DATE: NOVEMBER 21, 2019
Thrown together by circumstance, two men gamble their most prized possessions: their hearts

Trent's life is full of drama--the ex-wife and two teenage children drama. He's broke, he's lonely. He's also concerned about his health: headaches and misplaced items makes him think something serious is wrong. Meeting Max is a much-needed breath of fresh air.

Max enjoys his lifestyle--interior designer by day; BDSM lover by night.

Until he meets Trent, who is about as far from his lifestyle as he can get, but who also seems to understand him in a way that's somehow more intimate than sex.

They should have nothing in common, but when Max calls after taking a beating, Trent answers without hesitation.

As Max recovers, Trent is confused by the feelings that grow between them, feelings he's not supposed to have.

Because Trent is straight.

And Max is twelve years younger than him.

This is a MM romance with age gap, BDSM, hurt/comfort and sexual awakening. 

Trent was still aware of Max’s hand on his knee which he hadn’t removed and suddenly it became like an elephant in the room. Trent’s breath increased as he locked gaze with Max, he wasn’t sure if in fear or anticipation of what might happen. What was he thinking! He was straight! He saw Max lean closer and Trent didn’t move. He knew what was going to happen but couldn’t either stop it or encourage it.

When Max’s mouth touched his, Trent’s eyes closed and he felt the softness of the caress all through his body. When he felt his cock harden, he flinched, panicking, standing up so quickly, he knocked over the mugs.

“What the hell, Max!” He shouted as he stormed to get a cloth to clean up the mess. “I’m not gay! We’ve just been talking about my ex-wife, for god’s sake!”

“Fuck!” He heard Max say. He turned back to the sofa and saw Max walking to the front door. “Sorry, Trent.” With that, Max opened the door and left, closing it quietly behind him.

Trent stood staring at the door, confused by the feelings that were streaming through his body: anger, denial, want, arousal; the feeling that he wanted Max to come back. What was going on?

Call Sign: Baby Daddy Release

Navy SEAL Liaisons

Call Sign: Baby Daddy 

By J. Haney & S.I. Hayes

Military Romance

To those who say War is Hell, I say, try being married to a person you don't even know.

That's my dilemma.

My name is Ozmond Zayne and after nearly fifteen years in the US Armed Forces, ten of them as a US Navy SEAL, I am about to face my greatest of foes.

A wife and daughter. 

Navy SEAL Liaisons Call Sign: Baby Daddy © 2019 J. Haney & S.I. Hayes

I come downstairs to loud men, a cooing baby and whining pups. I’m in Oz’s PT pants and one of his long-sleeved shirts with my hair up in a towel. Yes, I’m swimming in his clothes but I’m warm. Everyone is in the living room except Beauty Queen. Of course, he’s last he would be- being the youngest of the men.


“Showing the baby all the attention and the pups none. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Diesel. Demon. Come.” I say heading for the kitchen.


“With all due respect, those look more like appetizers than dogs.” I have to turn as I hear Beauty Queen’s voice behind me. He’s in Jeans and a tank, his micro- fro under a durag.


“Appetizers? You go right ahead. They’re good dogs right now because we let you in, but they’re trained and good at it too. If I do say so myself. Oz, your Beauty needs some training it seems.” I smile. “Anyone hungry?”


“Oh-ho, pretty and lippy. You picked a right good one, for a baby mamma.” Beauty Queen retorts. “Were we right thinking you needed some RNR from the wifey?”


Oz looks at him, then the other guys, before his eyes settle on me. “I love that you guys came out. God knows it couldn’t have been at a better time and my door is always open, so long as you’re polite and respectful of my family. The truth though? I couldn’t be happier here.”


“C’mon, seriously?” Beauty Queen asks him.


“Yeah.” Oz comes over to me. Wrapping his arms around me. “Taking this woman out was the best decision I ever made.”


“You said something about food? Can I help?” Hiro asks, changing the subject.


“No, go rest. You guys are always working. I can handle the cooking. Just need to see what we’ve got.”


“Did I hear chickens clucking in the garage?” Mike asks. “I sure could go for a roaster.”


“You touch my chickens and I will have to make you look like Airman Lucas on Mother’s Day.”


All heads turn to Oz. “Come one come all! Let me regale you of the famous maiming of Mother’s day!” Oz waves everyone toward his den and away from my kitchen, and my chickens.

Fade Blog Tour

FADE
AUTHOR: ASHLEY MUNOZ
RELEASE DATE: April 5, 2019
GENRE: 2ndCHANCE, CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE
Laney:

Jackson Tate and I are over. Done. Finished. 

Then again, how do you end something that never really started?

Now, three months later we’re being thrown back together for the sake of an investigation and forced to coexist.

I thought falling in love with someone who didn’t want to be loved was hard but going into witness protection with the man who ignorantly took my heart? Yeah, that was going to be impossible.

Jackson:

Time and distance were what I needed to forget Laney Thompson. A Jack and Jill bathroom and the bedroom next door was what I got instead. Witness protection on her family’s farm? I was skeptical too, especially with our icy reunion. But the longer I was around her the more I realized how much I needed her. 

With her, it was easy to forget.

Forget about my life and who I was, and why we needed things to fade between us in the first place. All I needed was one tragic reminder.
“So, how have you been these last few months?” Jackson asked with a slight pitch in his voice.

I tried not to let out a big fat sigh. I really didn’t want to talk about how miserable I had been or how many times I had cried myself to sleep. So instead. I said, “Good but busy. How about you?”

He did let out a big sigh and readjusted his hands on the steering wheel. “Rough... They’ve been rough.” He trailed off with a strong tick in his jaw.

So many parts of my heart wanted to hear why his last few months were rough and ask if he missed me. But asking why his last few months had been rough would eventually lead us back to the topic of the breakup, and I wasn’t ready to broach that yet.

So, I changed the subject. “So, are you ready to be on a farm? Want any pointers?”

Jackson let out a small laugh and dug into his can of almonds which was his version of road trip food. Mine, however, was a bag of Funyuns, Cheez-its, Red Vines, and trail mix.

“I don’t think I will ever be ready for the farm, but I would love some pointers.” Jackson tilted his head and looked over at me, the bill of his hat tipped back just a fraction, making him look like he really did belong on a farm.

I sifted through the pile of trail mix for the M&Ms and started in.

“So, first thing you need to know is no one will respect you right off the bat. You’ll need to be willing to put in the work and earn it,”

I dumped the rest of the trail mix back into the bag. Jackson noticed and chided, “Stop it. You know I hate it when you only eat the M&Ms.”

I shrugged and started hunting for more.

“You’ll probably be asked to clean up horse poop and collect eggs, maybe even move a few hay bales.”

Jackson carefully peeked at me before watching the road again. I was sifting through another pile of trail mix when he ripped the bag out of my hands.

“No! Jackson don’t!” I yelled, trying to reclaim the bag.

He had it shoved in between his hip and his door, out of my reach, and even if I could reach it, I’d have to get really close to him to do it.

“Give it back,” I held out my hands expectantly.

He was still watching the road as a smile crested his face. “Not until you promise to eat some almonds.” He was always trying to get me to eat healthier, which was discourteous because it wasn’t like I was pushing my artificial flavors or processed sugar on him.

“No. It’s mine. Give it back,” I demanded again. Jackson peered at me again and gave me a grin that said he was going to like what he was about to say way more than I was.

“Come and get it.”

I knew it.

I fucking knew he was going to turn this into some game. I let out a sigh and crossed my arms.

“Forget it. I’m not in the habit of feeling up man-whores.” It was a low blow but so was finding out he took someone else to Italy.
