Tickled to Death

  

She’s got the whip, he’s got the cuffs—solving murders has never been this kinky… or this complicated.

 

Tickled to Death

A Domme Mom Murder Mystery Book 1

by Laura DeLuca

Genre: Murder Mystery, Erotic Comedy

 


Crime was yesterday’s kink… until it came crawling back.

 

Former paralegal Rhonda Campbell left the law behind when she swapped legal pads for latex. Now, as Mistress Kali, she runs the most exclusive BDSM dungeon in Atlantic City, where pleasure pays the bills and fantasy is always in play—until a longtime client is smothered with a French tickler. Talk about a safe word fail.

 

Enter newly relocated Detective Jason Dee, fresh off the gritty streets of Philly and itching for a real case—because so far, New Jersey’s biggest offense seems to be overpriced cocktails. When he finally lands a murder investigation, his prime suspect is a whip-smart, leather-clad domme who’s as infuriating as she is intriguing.

 

With a killer on the loose and tensions rising, Rhonda and Jason must combine their expertise in sex and homicide to crack the case—before another victim is tickled to death.

Vengeful CONspiracies

 Sadie encounters a nemesis from her past. Is it coincidence or is it something more sinister? Book 2 reveals the truth!

 

Vengeful CONspiracies

A Sadie Sabatini Mystery Book 2

by Nicole Leiren

Genre: Cozy Mystery


Sadie is settling into her new life in Wilson, Texas. She’s making friends and her business, Tesoro, is starting to thrive. But the past is never far behind. When two former team members come for a visit, they bring trouble in the form of a mutual enemy set on revenge threatening to disrupt Sadie’s fresh start.

She can’t turn her back on her team, though. They’ve been through too much together. The more Sadie tries to help, the more she suspects she might be the target of the con this time. With forces conspiring against her, the outcome of her decisions, both past and present, weigh heavily and make her question the choices she made leading to this point.

When their mutual enemy is found dead, alliances are tested, and wits are matched as the race to the truth reveals who can be trusted and who is running their final con. 

Guest Post

Have you written any other books that aren’t published?

The very first book I wrote is still unpublished. I’ve been writing stories for as long as I can remember. At first, it was stories for my little sister, then some fanfic, and finally I wanted to try my hand at my own story. It took a number of years with lots of stops and starts and more name changes than I can remember before I finally typed “The End” Of course, once I’d done that, I had no idea what I should do next. So, I did what anyone would do, Googled it I learned that you had to submit a pitch, hook, and query. I had no idea how to do that so I found an online class, offered by Savvy Authors that taught you how to do those things. The class was being taught by an agent, Dawn Dowdle. We learned how to write the hook and pitch and after submitting mine, she typed in my chat that she would be open to my querying her with this story. Of course, I replied that as soon as she taught me how to do that, I would love to! LOL

She did just that and I used what she taught me to submit my query to her. A week or so later, she offered representation. We went through several edits and finally sent it out to query publishers. Rejection after rejection followed and, I confess, to being a bit disheartened. Ironically, the reason for the rejections weren’t really bad. The mystery publishers said it didn’t have enough mystery, suspense publishers said not enough suspense and romance pubs said not enough romance. I took that to mean it was a well-balanced story.

Thankfully, my story didn’t end there. While that story still hasn’t seen the light of day…yet, I went on to write my first contemporary sweet military romance which was picked up by Gemma Halliday Publishing. From there, I published six full-length novels with Gemma before taking a break for a couple years.

My next book, Murderous CONsequences, was picked up by Harbor Lane Publishing as a 3 book series. I’m excited that Sadie’s story is continuing and you can join her next adventure (along with the gang in Wilson, TX) with Vengeful CONspiracies. Murder and betrayal are the theme of book 2 (along with second guessing decisions we made in the past and making things right in the future!)

Thank you for visiting today!

 EXCERPT

I grabbed my laptop and returned to the counter. Since Kelsey didn’t want to talk about the election now, I wouldn’t bother her. I was curious, though, about the candidates. The seats being voted on were currently occupied by Jim Bob (JB) Nester, Alan Knightly, and Ted Birmingham. Ted was the only one not running for re-election. I was a little surprised by this. When it came to the Birminghams and their legacy, both influence and power were important. Since Ted typically did what his father wanted, I had no doubt it was Robert’s idea.

Next, I wanted to take a look at the candidates running to occupy those seats. “Hey, Tessa is running.”

Kelsey looked my way and grinned. “I knew you’d do some research before Sunday.”

I shrugged. “The Boy Scouts and I have that in common–always be prepared. I’ve visited her shop, Tessa’s Treats, many times.”

“She will be a great asset to the board, for sure. One vote down, two to go.” She winked.

Next up was Karen Bizzy, the “Karen” to beat out all other “Karens.” She had definitive plans for the town of Wilson, very few of which I supported. Denise McDowell and Jackie Price were also vying for a seat. I wasn’t sure either was truly qualified, but out of the two, I knew Denise better. Her motivations, at least, were easier to understand. Jackie, on the other hand, was still a mystery.

Since I was familiar with them, I hadn’t selected the hyperlink under their name to see the bio and picture. The new guy, Miles Gentry, needed additional research. I hovered over the blue letters that contained his name and hit enter.

As his picture appeared on a new page, my heart stopped beating for a moment. His hair might no longer be black, and contacts had replaced his glasses, but the face struck a familiar chord from my past. This man was not Miles Gentry. No, I’d recognize the smug look on his narrow face anywhere. This was none other than Miles Grant, a former pharmaceutical executive my team brought down about a year ago due to his use of experimental pesticides which poisoned the workers in the field. He had also skimmed money from the company to fund other experimental programs. In sum, he was a bad actor who had either learned his lesson and was starting a new life, or he had moved from California to Texas to start a new venture where no one knew him or his reputation. At least, he would think no one knew him.

Either way, I didn’t trust him. My gut was rarely, if ever, wrong. Right now, it was screaming at me that his presence in Wilson spelled bad news for the unsuspecting people of this town. Deep down, I also knew it wouldn’t be long before our paths crossed, which undoubtedly would mean nothing but trouble for me.

Murderous CONsequences

A Sadie Sabatini Mystery Book 1


Sadie Sabatini thinks of herself as a modern-day Robin Hood who uses her gift as a skilled con artist to help those who have nowhere else to turn. Leading this life is rewarding, but the number of enemies are piling up. Sadie decides to lay low and start over with a new (and legitimate business) in the small town of Wilson, Texas, situated on a small peninsula in beautiful Lake Amore.

Trouble is never far behind though and her past catches up to her in a big way when a friend of a former mark threatens blackmail for his silence. When he turns up dead and Sadie is the prime suspect, she realizes this time she must protect herself. Her skills prove helpful as she digs deeper into the web of revenge, blackmail, and secrets to discover she’s not the only one with a past to hide.

As the threats mount, Sadie knows she’s closing in on the truth. She now worries that the few new friends she’s made in town are in danger because of her. With time running out, can she protect those around her and find the real killer before this new chapter in her life is conned out of a happy ending?

 EXCERPT

A few minutes later, we’d managed to get the kayak emptied out and put me back in it. I

met her gaze and offered gratitude again. “Seriously, thank you for your help tonight.”

She shrugged. “Us folks here,” she gestured to the RV park, “believe in helping out our fellow man or woman as the case may be.”

I nodded in acknowledgement, saddened that not everyone felt the same way. “Can I ask you one more question as long as it doesn’t pertain to how you earn your living?”

Her slight smile and nod gave me courage to ask the other burning question in my mind. “Why didn’t you tell the police the whole truth about the altercation between Jonathan and me the night he died? Most importantly, that it was a misunderstanding and that he was very much alive when I left.”

EZ backed away from the edge of the dock where she’d been standing and retrieved another cigarette. “Because, if I had, they would have known I was not just watching from a distance and figured out I was the last person to see him alive.”

Their Mended Hearts

Cardinal Creek Book 2

by Angie Cole

Genre: Sweet Small-Town Contemporary Second-Chance Romance


He’s a firefighter haunted by tragedy; she’s a nurse who never stopped loving him. Jon and Katie find themselves drawn back together, bound by shared history and the promise of healing and hope.

Jon Clemmons, a devoted firefighter, carries the heavy burden of guilt from losing his sister in a tragic accident. His pain runs deep, and he’s learned to keep others at a distance, afraid to let anyone see his scars.

Katie Deluca, a compassionate nurse, and Jon’s first love, has her own wounds, but she’s never stopped caring for him. When they’re reunited at a family wedding, old sparks reignite, and with them, old hurts that need mending.

As Jon and Katie draw closer, Jon’s troubled past, family secrets, and a volatile temper threaten to unravel the bond between them. Katie’s unwavering love gives him hope, but fears of reliving their painful past linger.

Will they find strength in each other to break free from the grip of old grief, or will their love slip away once more?

 EXCERPT

Jon Clemmons stepped out of the ambulance. The blaze roared, but his heart pounded louder.

Every fire brought back the memories. Every scream echoed in his mind. His sister’s desperate cries for help from the wrecked SUV haunted him, playing on an endless loop in his nightmares.

Tonight, he had a chance to save someone else. A little girl was trapped inside the burning house, and Jon wouldn’t fail her the way he’d failed Shelly. Ignoring the Chief’s orders, he rushed inside, his lungs burning with smoke, his resolve stronger than his fear.

Would this fire be the one that finally broke him?

About the Author

My journey as a romance author is deeply rooted in my personal experiences of love, loss, and resilience. The profound impact of the losses I have endured, including the passing of my grandparents and my parents, has shaped my perspective on life and love.

My own love story is one of healing and finding joy after heartache, and it mirrors the themes I explore in my novels.

As a survivor of grief and a believer in the power of love, I channel my experiences into crafting stories that resonate with the complexities and triumphs of the human heart. My writing is a testament to the idea that love can emerge from the most unexpected places, offering hope and healing. The one thing that can be learned from grief is that it's a very personal experience and isn't the same for every person.

Once Upon a Billionaire

 Get enchanted by these modern-day princesses and their billionaire romances!

 

Once Upon a Billionaire

The Billionaire Fairy Tales Book 4

by MacKenzie Stowe

Genre: Contemporary Billionaire Romance


In the bustling heart of New York City, Kiara Aurelius, a reserved school teacher, takes on an unusual gig: house-sitting for Barrett Olson, a suave and enigmatic businessman she’s never met. Nestled in his upscale penthouse, Kiara delights in the luxurious surroundings, immersing herself in Barrett’s world while capturing the city's vibrant essence from his panoramic windows.

Barrett returns home unexpectedly, catching Kiara off guard. Rather than being angry, he is intrigued by the beautiful stranger in his home. The air crackles with undeniable chemistry as they navigate this unexpected encounter. As night falls, their connection deepens, and passion ignites in ways neither could have imagined and evolves into an unforgettable weekend.

As the weekend comes to a close, Kiara and Barrett part ways, uncertain if they’ll ever meet again. They are unexpectedly reunited, but their burgeoning romance faces obstacles they never anticipated. Kiara’s protective brother and Barrett’s disapproving employee threaten to tear them apart. Caught between family loyalty and societal expectations, Kiara and Barrett must decide if their love is worth fighting for.

In this modern retelling of The Three Little Bears, Once Upon a Billionaire explores the delicate balance of love and trust in a world where appearances can be deceiving. Will Kiara and Barrett find a way to navigate their differences and build a love that's just right, or will the forces against them prove too great to overcome? Dive into a story where love is a gamble and only the strongest hearts prevail.

This book was previous published as a novella as part of the Tall Dark and Rich Anthology. It has been reimagined as a full novel.

 EXCERPT

The evening had certainly taken an unexpected and exciting turn. I’d thought I would spend the evening alone. I thought I would open a bottle of wine and go over some paperwork. I thought I would lose myself in contemplating my future until the wee hours of the morning.

I had not counted on finding not only a woman in my place, but an attractive woman that could hold her own against me. I wasn’t used to anyone telling me what to do or trying to put me in my place. She had done both, beautifully, in the span of less than a half hour.

She was intriguing and nothing like her brother. He was quiet, almost submissive, with me. He never talked back, he never questioned me, he certainly would never tell me what I should do and why. It was one of the reasons I hired him. I needed a yes man, someone who would do exactly what I said, the way I said it, and without question.

Darian and I had found a shorthand with each other. He could anticipate my needs, sometimes even before I had them. It was what made him so invaluable to me and such a contrast to the woman standing in front of me.

There were some familial characteristics between them. They both had short, pointed noses and deep blue eyes. Where Darian had sandy blonde hair, Kiara’s was more of a golden blonde. It cascaded down her back in small ringlets making me long to run my fingers through it. Darian was tall and skinny with a runner's physique, Kiara had curves in all the right places.

She was certainly different from any woman I’d ever met. She didn’t blanch when I asked her to leave or all but accused her of breaking into my place. She stood her ground and looked like an Athenian goddess when she did.

I had never been so interested in a woman so quickly or intensely as I was with Kiara. Even when she was annoying me, even when she was trying to tell me that everything was my fault, all I could think about was pulling her toward me and then pushing her up against the nearest wall.

Her head tilted up slightly at my statement. I could tell she didn’t believe me, as her eyes almost rolled into the back of her head. It was a line I had used before, more times than I could ever count. I still meant every word of it when it came to Kiara.

“If I had a dollar,” she said.

“For what? Every time I told a woman she was the most interesting and sexiest woman I’d ever met? You still wouldn’t be as rich as me, but pretty close.” I moved closer to her.

I liked invading her space. I liked seeing her eyes get big for a half a second before they changed to something else. Sometimes it was annoyance or anger, but mostly it was desire. Desire was the only one I wanted to see.

“Thank you for the compliment. Too bad I can’t return the favor.” She walked away from me and took a drink of her wine, well, my wine. I watched as her hand shook ever so slightly. It told me she wasn’t as unaffected by me as she wanted me to believe.

Stopping in a charming smalltown seems like the perfect place to catch her breath and find herself. It’s too bad a certain fireman with a crooked grin and kind eyes could have her plans of self-discovery going up in a puff of smoke.

Trevor Mays is at a crossroads—figuratively. Still grieving the loss of his father, he was unceremoniously dumped by his fiancée, who quickly rebounded with his work rival. Just as he thinks things can’t get worse, he loses the captain’s promotion—to the man who stole his ex. He’s about to give up on ever smiling again when a curly-haired beauty with curves for days stumbles into his hometown.

With some help from the residents of Pinegrove, this pair will discover that much like the perfect fireworks show, love only needs a spark.

 

Fans of Sherryl Woods’ Sweet Magnolias series and Sarah Adams’s When in Rome series will fall in love with Libby Kay’s sweet fireman romance. Ms. Kay’s engaging stories fill your heart and head with possibilities and will quickly become your new favorite!

The Unveiled Fling

Boys of Bragg Book 4

by Randa Knight

Genre: Military Romance


One costume is all it takes to change everything.

Joel

My dream girl unexpectedly falls into my life, but with only one weekend together, she’s left me craving more. When she reappears, warnings from my friends urge me to stay away, but I can’t. I keep finding reasons to see her. Talk to her. Be near her.

Can I convince her to give our connection a chance?

Sami

I never imagined encountering my Comic Con fling among my sister’s social circle, only to have him play the role of a stranger. Despite his charming demeanor, Joel doesn’t fit my usual type of nerdy guys. But as I discover more about him, I question whether there’s more beneath his confident exterior.

Can he show me that opposites attract in the most unexpected ways?

Will they give in to their feelings and give their romance a chance, or will they let their differences and their friends keep them apart?
