Clover

He took me. That son of a goat fucker took me. Now I’m his. To do with as he pleases, and it’s not all tickle fights and cuddles. All I can do is try and keep my sanity. Pray that Nix cares for me enough to come for me. Enough to fight for me. Kill for me.

Because he may not know it yet, but I love him. With my luck I’ll never get to tell him. I’m sure as hell am going to try.

First, he has to find me. Trapped in my gilded cage.

Nix

Being away from her, knowing he has her is like having my flesh chewed off by angry beavers. I don’t sleep and I inhale cocaine like oxygen.

If I can’t find her soon, I may do that which I’m immensely talented at. Killing. One person in particular, in slow and gratifying ways.

Nothing and no one will stop me from getting to her. Not locked doors, not Braxton Shaw, and certainly not my fear. Because she is everything and I will not lose her now.

**Strong Sexual Situation

*Violence

Drug use

Rebecca Rennick was born a Cali girl but has since converted into a Floridian. Along with her husband, two dogs, and a cat. With love for both horror films and the Hallmark Channel, it’s no wonder she has such a vivid imagination. She revels in twisting tales of love and life with all its dark corners and solar flares. With a BFA in fashion design, her artistic background has led to her tattoo obsession upon herself and others.

She tends to find beauty in the most unusual of places and plans on expanding that into her world of the Colton Cousins.

Will the past come back to destroy everything they are building? Two strangers meeting by chance, searching for somebody to love, and finding each other.

Rhys had it all…for the most part. He didn’t mind leaving people or dreams in the past because he was determined to carve out a new future with his fiancé, Nick. But like a house of cards, it all came crashing down around him. Nick found someone else to love, and Rhys suddenly found himself with nothing. Will Rhys open his heart again or keep it sealed shut?

Declan experienced a lot as an Army doctor, but once he was able, he got out, tired of war and suffering. When he meets Rhys, Declan sees a brokenness in the other man’s eyes and wants to do anything he can to drive away Rhys’s ghosts. Even if it means risking his own heart.

Maria Vickers is a bestselling and award-winning author who currently resides in St. Louis, MO with her pug, Spencer Tracy. She has always had a passion for writing and after she became disabled in 2010, she decided to use writing as her escape. Life is about what you make of it, you have to live it to the fullest no matter the circumstances.

From a young age, she has always loved books and even dreamed of being an author when she was younger. Growing up in the Navy, she used to weave tales for her siblings and her friends about anything and everything. And when she wasn't creating her own stories, she had a book in her hand. They transported her to another world. She hopes that her readers will have the same experience when reading her stories, and that, in some way, they can relate to her characters.

Getting sick changed her life forever, but it also opened doors for her that she thought would always be out of reach.

Phoenix Release

Phoenix

The Colton Cousins

by Rebecca Rennick

Dark Mafia Romance

➜ AMAZON

➜ GOODREADS

Sometimes love is found at the end of a double barrel shotgun.

Nix

I have one rule: no repeats. One woman, one day. That’s all they get. The only stable relationship in my life is the one I have with my tattoo gun. I spend my days working private security for the crime Syndicate and nights at my family’s bar.

That is, until my cousin brings home a stray—a provoking, smart-mouthed redhead. But Clover is off-limits. She’s too much of a temptation and trouble in the making.

But when a man I should have killed long ago sets his sights on her. I’ll have to decide if she’s worth the risk of my heart and breaking my only rule.

Clover

Life is a big, fat sack of donkey shit. But after one drunken afternoon, my new fairy godfather whisks me away to live and work with his family of high-profile criminals. Tending bar with a shotgun within my reach turns out to be the perfect job for me.

What I don’t need is the annoyingly hot, new roommate, Nix Colton, who infuriates me at every turn, tempting me to take a walk on his wild side. But he says he doesn’t want me.

If I can’t have Nix, maybe the sexy stranger who walks into my bar one day is just what I need. But when he turns out to be no ordinary stranger, it becomes painfully clear I should stay far away from him.

Because if I let my guard down around him, it may be the last mistake I ever make. And nothing Nix does will save me from my fate.

Violence
Addiction
Strong Sexual Situations
Drug use

She tends to find beauty in the most unusual of places and plans on expanding that into her world of the Colton Cousins.

RT @MondayBlogs Heart 2 Heart with Rachel Starkie

Welcome.

Today we are very lucky to be interviewing Fantasy, Reverse Harem, PNR, and LGBTQ+, author Rachel Starkie. Thank you so much for being with us!

I grew up in Manchester, England, residing with my supportive family. With a love for learning about animals and nature, I went on to attend Hull University @ Scarborough. Being dyslexic I had to work extra hard, but the end result was a Bachelor of Science in Coastal Marine Biology. Dolphins are one of my favorite animals so I have made sure they get their way not just into my logos but also soon my other shifter tails. <- see what I did there?

I relish in creating worlds full of unique and amazing characters, where people lose themselves.

My outgoing nature allows me to see and feel the world at my fingertips so I can bring it to you, my readers.

Inspiration comes from all angles, and you can see that in the pretty resin items that double as swag and other bits of fun. All resin is hand-poured into often commissioned molds. I can not wait to share my worlds with you, so stop in for a cuppa and sit for a spell.

Haney Hayes PR - Tell us a little about yourself and your background?

Rachel - Well, as my bio states, I hold a degree in Coastal Marine Biology, and regardless of the naysayers, I am a published author. I will admit to a wee bit of help with this as if I didn't have it- you would probably need a Rachel to Proper English Dictionary! #BlameShannon This is my go-to when something is wonky. It's my cheeky way of loving on one of my PA's Shannon Hayes of Haney Hayes PR. Aside from biting my thumb at the haters, I am an avid animal lover and maker of the Peens...

Haney Hayes PR - What one word best describes you?

Rachel - Bonkers-

Haney Hayes PR - Speaking of Bonkers- You've just written your own take on Alice In Wonderland have you not?

Rachel - Yes, Not Alice, The Wonderland Prophecy was published on January 29th, 2021. It's the first in a huge series that follows a new heroine in a broken Wonderland.

Haney Hayes PR - Which famous person, living or dead would you like to have dinner with? Why and what would you serve?

Rachel - Tom Hiddleson, I mean who wouldn't want a piece of the man that brought Loki to the screen. As for what I'd serve? He could feast on me for days. In my mind, he's already a fan, and my PA has made me a great pic of him reading Risa's Destiny.- Sorta. You gotta follow me to see it though!

Haney Hayes PR - Who is your favorite Indie Author? Why?

Rachel - Author F. East, an eccentric author I have the pleasure of callin my friend.

Haney Hayes PR - What is something as a writer, you had to learn that you hated?

Rachel - EDITS! OMG! The insanity that comes from editing. Fortunatly my editor with HHP takes very good care of me. Due to my dyslexia I can't sort out all those red marks so she reads the manuscript to me, and explains to me why things need to be. It takes time but she makes sure my vice stays my own.

Haney Hayes PR - What has been the hardest thing to adjust to since publishing?

Rachel - The paper work trying to make a name for youeself in a COVID world isn't fun or easy either.

Haney Hayes PR - What has been your best memory since publishing?

Rachel - The people that tell my they love my work and my worlds. There are a few haters but that means I am maiking it.

Haney Hayes PR - What was it like getting that first great review? The first 1 Star?

Rachel - Amzaing it made me feeling like i was not worthless, that I could really do this writing thing and was not making a fool of myself. My l star ratings are usually from people that didn not understnd my vision for my world. Or before I gor my current editor.

Haney Hayes PR - What kind of marketing do you do if any?

Rachel - I promote myself and have a great Team. Shannon and Jess take good care of my social media, newsletters, they do tours and help me with takeovers. They are super, doing Newsletter swaps- graphics pimping. Live Reading, taking to Social Media. Basically everything my PA's tell me to to do!

Haney Hayes PR - What is your solution to writer’s block?

Rachel - Start new stroies. If I get bored or blocked I try a new angle!

Haney Hayes PR - What got you writing, what keeps you at it?

Rachel - The joy of making a story come from my head to life on the page. I am a big daydreamer and i keep writing because it is fun.

Haney Hayes PR - Who inspires you? Who holds you up when you wanna quit?

Rachel - That's easy, family, friends and my tribe- the book communtiy!

Haney Hayes PR - If you were to interview yourself, what is the one question you would have to ask? Why?

Rachel - Well.... Okay. I'm a size queen, but my brian doesn't let me in on some things, so I woud need to ask the C*cok size of my characters. Expecially Z! They all want Z!

Thank you so much, Rachel, it has been a pleasure, and remember to check out all her/his works and follow to stay up to date!
