About BISHOP'S KNIGHT

The Bishop siblings’ family is on the verge of collapse as all three find themselves embroiled in danger. Family bonds may keep them alive…but only love can give them something to live for. Read BISHOP’S KNIGHT, the first novel in this ALL NEW heart-pounding Endgame trilogy.

She needs his protection…

Thanks to years of government training, Evie Bishop knows how to get into places she doesn’t belong—and she’s very good at it. But years of doing black ops work burned her out so she returns home—to unexpected chaos. One of her brothers is in a coma and the other is in hiding, wanted for murder. Then a fellow operative from her past shows up shot and bleeding with news that an assassin is gunning for everyone involved with a past op. She’s forced to turn to the one man she knows she can trust—the man whose heart she broke.

But it will come with a price…

When Dylan Blackwood proposed a year ago, Evie turned him down flat and walked out of his life. He’s stunned when he finds her on his doorstep covered in someone else’s blood, needing his help. He always knew there was more to her than met the eye—that Evie was never simply the pampered society princess she wanted people to believe she was. But he never expected this. If she needs help, he’ll give it. Even if he can’t forget her betrayal. Even if he isn’t sure he can trust her. But his protection will come with a price—her heart. Before they can have a chance at a future, they’ll have to work together to take down a faceless enemy who has Evie firmly in his crosshairs.

Blurb

They call me the sugar whisperer.
Anything your tongue desires, I can bake it. Scones? Child’s play. Cupcakes? I’ll frost them so good you won’t know what hit you. Donuts? Please.
You’re talking to a master baker.
But there’s one egg I’ve never been able to crack.
My best friend.
Correction: My former best friend.
She’s the apple in my pie. The whip in my cream. The lemon in my meringue. The wish in my bone.
She’s the one who got away.
After ten years in the military, she’s back. She’s bruised and battered by life, but she’s back.
Except she’s not my second chance. She’s gone to the dark side.
Running a rival bakery in a town not big enough for two.
So now I have to decide—which do I want more?
My bakery?
Or the woman I never should’ve let go in the first place?

Master Baker is a deliciously fun friends-to-enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy featuring a smooth-talking baker, the one who got away, and a goat with more matchmaking tendencies than a nosy old grandpa. It stands alone with no cheating or cliffhangers.

My review of The Marriage Pact by Winter Renshaw

When Emelie Belleseau was younger she made a pact with close family friend Julian for the two of them never to marry despite their parents believing they were the perfect couple. Then 8 years ago he broke her heart and she has not seen him since.

Prince Julian is the Duke of Montcroix and is the second in line for the Chamont throne. Lately his dad has been acting difficult and unfortunately Julian needs to marry before he can inherit the throne and he believes that Emelie would be the perfect king.

Prince Julian must convince Emelie to marry him but Emelie has her own set of rules and can the two come to an agreement in time? When past secrets are revealed can Emilie and Julian come to terms with everything and when Julian keeps one too many things from Emelie will there be a wedding?

This was such a good book with some great twists and turns that left me shocked and wanting so much more!!

I thought Emelie was a great character who had been very hurt and had her heart broken in the past by Julian and she was guarded because of it. I completely understood why she was upset over what happened and definitely sided with her. Yet when Julian approaches her she also realizes how it could help out her family which had lost so much with the death of her father.

I understood why Julian asked Emelie to marry him but then I was a little confused about his motive after we learn about his ex Princess Dayanara of Spain and then more about their past and the involvement of another individual as well. Yet as the book went on I realized how much Julian did really care about Emelie and I was confused about what had transpired in the past.

At a certain point events of the past are brought up and I was compeltey thrown for a loop with what was revealed and I was so mad!!! I understood why both Julian and Emelie thought what they did and I wanted revenge!!

The stuff near the end of the book with Julian's dad threw me for another loop and I knew Julian was trying to talk to Emelie yet it wasn't working which I knew was not going to end well. I was right and I was definitely disappointed!

I loved the advice Harrison gave Julian and I was so happy that he followed it!!

I was totally surprised with the ending but I loved it and was so happy for the way it all turned out!

The Marriage Pact by Winter Renshaw

Amazon 

I was sixteen when I vowed I would never marry him.




We shook on it. Pinky swore. Even put it in writing and all but signed our names in blood.




It was the one and only thing we ever agreed on.




To the world, he’s Prince Ian, Duke of Montcroix, second in line to the Chamont throne. Panty-melting accent. Royal charm. Hypnotic presence. Blindingly gorgeous. Laundry list of women all over the world who would give their first born for the chance to marry him. Most eligible bachelor in the free world …




But to me, he’s nothing more than the son of my father’s best friend—the pesky blue-eyed boy who made it his mission to annoy the ever-loving hell out of me summer after summer as our families vacationed together, our parents oblivious to our mutual disdain as they joked about our “betrothal.”




He was also my first kiss.




And my first taste of heartbreak so cataclysmic it almost broke me.




I meant it with every fiber of my soul when I swore I’d never marry him.




But on the eve of my 24th birthday, His Royal Highness has the audacity to show up at my door after years of silence and make a demand will forever change the trajectory of our lives: “We have to break our pact.”

“Ms. Belleseau,” he says before moving aside. “Welcome. Won’t you come in?”

Her eyes lift across the small space until they find mine, and her hands clasp in front of her waist. She’s in jean shorts, a white tank top, sandals, and a wildly colorful cardigan. Her long hair is piled on top of her head—hardly the look of a queen, but I like it nonetheless.

My all-American sweetheart …

“I’ll do it,” she says as Harrison locks the door behind her. Emelie takes a few more steps closer, until we’re only a few feet apart. “But I have terms and conditions.”

“Such as?”

“No sex,” she says.

I hide my disappointment with a smirk. “Glad we’re getting that one out of the way. What else?”

“No romance.”

“Easy.”

“Limited public engagements,” she adds.

“I’m afraid that one isn’t up for negotiation,” I say. “But you’ll be pleased to know that we aren’t allowed to demonstrate any public displays of affection, so any and all public engagements will require nothing more than a smile, a curtsy, and a few kind words.”

“Fine.” Her arms fold across her chest, like she still isn’t comfortable with the idea of this arrangement. “You get me until my twenty-ninth birthday and not a day longer.”

“Deal.”

“Oh. And I’m allowed to see my family at any chosen time, regardless of schedule or engagements,” she says.

I hesitate—logistics and all of that.

“That’s my non-negotiable,” she says. “My mother and my sisters are my everything. If I want to see them, you’re going to make it happen or the deal is off. And my friends too. I want my friends to be able to visit."

That’s her non-negotiable? I figured it would’ve been the sex …

“All right,” I say. “Shall we pinky swear on this as we did with our last agreement?”

She fights a smile—a good sign—but her poker face returns in an instant, rendering her back to unreadable.

“You have my word if I have yours,” she says, not moving so much as an inch closer. Her chin lifts and her shoulders straighten as she looks me dead in the eye. I can’t tell if she’s feeling good about her decision or giving me her best poker face.

“Apparently pinky promises aren’t as binding as we thought now, are they?”

My joke falls on deaf ears. She isn’t amused.

Her arms lower to her sides, as though she’s feeling slightly less defensive than when she first walked in the door.

“You’re going to make an amazing queen, Emelie,” I say, envisioning her in my great-grandmother’s glimmering Belcast tiara. “Welcome to the royal family.”

Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon bestselling author Winter Renshaw is a bona fide daydream believer. She lives somewhere in the middle of the USA and can rarely be seen without her trusty Mead notebook and ultra portable laptop. When she’s not writing, she’s living the American dream with her husband, three kids, and the laziest puggle this side of the Mississippi.

Read an excerpt from DATING ROULETTE

She pulls her feet away, tucking them beneath her, and props an arm on the back of the couch. After brushing a wayward curl from my forehead, she meets my eyes again. “What is going on in your head tonight? Talk to me, Tris.” “I’m trying.” “Start with telling me why you made me promise not to date without talking to you first.” Reaching forward, I caress her cheek, and she leans into my touch. “Date me next.” I use the tone she calls the commanding one, and her eyes dilate. Fuck . . . it really does turn her on. How did I never notice that? “Tristan, that’s a really bad idea.” “Why?” “Why? For starters, you’re my best friend.” “Exactly.” My fingers weave through her hair, and she moves closer to me. “If it doesn’t work, we’ll be fine, I promise. I won’t let this get in the way of our friendship.” “You say that now but—” I bring my finger to her lips to silence her. “No buts; we’ve been through so much already. We can handle seven dates.” “You’re assuming you’ll make it to the seventh date.” As I smile, she gasps. “That’s why you made me promise.” I’m about to lay all my cards on the table. “Yes. Bexley, I want my chance to win your heart.” Her eyes close for a long moment, but my hand is still at the base of her neck, my fingers entwined in her curls. “I’m scared, Tris. What if you do something that’s a deal breaker?” “That’s always a possibility, but if I do it in the first six dates, you have to let it go. If I do it on the seventh, well, that’s a risk I’m willing to take, I suppose. Either way, nothing is going to come between us. Nothing.” The air snaps between us. This has become a defining moment in our relationship, but it’s one I think, deep down, we both knew was inevitable. “Would tonight count as our first date?” She still hasn’t opened her eyes. “That depends. Do you kiss on your first dates?” Her eyes finally snap open, and I’m met with a lust-filled gaze. Damn, I’ve never seen this look on her, but now I don’t ever want to see her without it. “Sometimes, I do.” “Well, if you want a kiss good night, then we can count this as our first date. Otherwise, tomorrow can be our first date.” The rise and fall of her chest becomes noticeable as her breathing increases. She squirms, and I realize she’s turned on. Part of me wants her to say no, this isn’t our first date, because I’d love for it to be special to her. But another part of me wants to take her mouth with mine and kiss her until morning. “Are you a good kisser?” she whispers, inching even closer to me. Bexley watches intently as I lick my lips ever so slightly, moistening what I want to give her. “I’ve never had any complaints, but there’s always a first time for everything.” I cup the back of her neck and pull her closer to me—so close, she’s only a whisper from my lips. “It’s your call. What do you want to do?” She moves forward and presses her lips tentatively against mine. In the course of every relationship, there is a make-or-break moment, and this one is ours—I feel it to my core as her apricot scent envelops me. I’m a lost cause. “First date it is,” I whisper against them before wrapping my free arm around her waist and pulling her even closer.

The Bratva’s Captive by Jane Henry

For the Bratva, retribution is the law.

An eye for an eye.

A tooth for a tooth.

A life for a life.

He’ll live knowing his only daughter was captured by a monster...

That he’s utterly powerless to stop me.




Olena Baranov will be my prisoner.

My retribution.

My undoing.

Vengeance will be mine.

With a houseful of children, she finds time to write in the early hours of the morning, squirreled away with a laptop, blanket, and cup of hot coffee. Years ago, she heard the wise advice, “Write the book you want to read,” and has taken it to heart. She sincerely hopes you also enjoy the books she likes to read.

Our greatest risk was the one we never took … 

It was an accidental spring fling three years ago—one week spent in the mountains of Big Sur and no one was the wiser. Ignore the fact that Tobias James was my neighbor and my best friend’s older brother. Or that upon our return his hoop dreams were waiting for him, robbing us of any potential future we could have shared. 

Now, I’m fulfilling my own dreams in L.A. and my biggest dream of all is about to come true. The last thing I expected was for my past and my present to collide.

Not now. Not here. Not him.

But he struts back into my life like he never even left. Unfortunately, I’ll never forget what happened after he did.

The ball is in my court, but Tobias isn’t below stealing—my power, my resolve, my heart… When he wants a second chance to reignite our connection, my answer is simple. We can’t.

Not unless we defy the rules our dreams were built on and risk everything.
