Is it hot in here? ❤️‍🔥 Steamy indeed! And this is just the tip... of the iceberg. What were you thinking? 😏 me too. If you want sexy, dark, trauma-healing, & snarky AF, Affinity for Pain is for you! 😈⁠ Interested in an eARC? Contact me with that good ol' email button!⁠ ⁠ The blurb- ⁠ Newborn City, once a dead-end, old lady-infested town, is now home to hundreds of supernatural creatures. The Chakal demon, Hope Turner is one such being. Without physical sensation and the dreaded emotions that often go with it, Hope is the ideal human-hunting assassin. Tonight’s plan is like all others- to introduce a bullet to yet another demon-hater’s brain. Fate has other plans. Upon seeing Ciaran, she’s paralyzed by omaeriku, a bond that forces Hope to feel it all: heat, cold, and pain (which she could've happily done without).⁠ ⁠ Ciaran O'Connor escaped his own Gladiator captivity to create a somewhat normal life. Now, someone from his past wants him dead. Aligned with the woman sent to kill him, who may have guest-starred in some saucy dreams, Ciaran must determine who put the target on his back and deal with his attraction to Hope. Worse yet, a sadist biting at their heels wants Ciaran back under his thumb. ⁠ ⁠ As they race to find their attacker before thugs kill them both, old habits rip them apart, allowing Ciaran to be captured by the one person he fears. Filled with demons, a wealthy madman, and torture, Affinity for Pain follows two people as they navigate a violent road lined with monsters and a heaping dose of sex. Hope and Ciaran have seen and felt pain, but they’ll soon see there’s more to life than agony.⁠ ⁠ Affinity for Pain is an urban paranormal romance with sex, assassinations, and explosions. It's the first of the Newborn City Series but does offer its own HFN ending. ⁠ #books #arcs #advancedreadercopies #reviewercopy #romancenovels #adultfantasy #indieauthorsofinstagram #bookstagram #readingcommunity #readerswanted #earcs #arcreaders #paranormalromance #smuttybooks #steamybooks #sexybooks #readnow ⁠ (at The Forgotten Realms) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdG1J_KvXbD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I just completed the first of 2 donations I’ll be making this month. This one went to CLOVES Syndrome Community, who helps me and my family every single day. For those who don’t know, my daughter has an extremely rare condition called CLOVES Syndrome. Only around 1000 people worldwide have CLOVES, and because of CSC, we’ve had the chance to meet and get to know some of them! CSC provides me and my family so much hope and connection, as well as education, all while they donate to scientists studying PIK3CA Related Overgrowth Syndromes (like CLOVES)! You can learn about CLOVES Syndrome on the CSC website, or by visiting their Instagram @clovessyndromecommunity . My next donation will be to @uniteagainstbookbans and I’m hoping to pad my donation total with money I earn from selling books that would probably be banned if they were popular enough for people to notice. Yep, I’m donating ALL of my royalties from ALL of my books sold in December to UABB. Help me spread the word so I can send them a great big donation before December 31st! . #indieauthorsofinstagram #indieauthorsunited #indieauthorsofig #indieauthorgiveback #medicalmom #uniteagainstbookbans #clovesirl #clovessyndrome (at Tacoma, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmIEMzEPBut/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

HEART SICK Monica James . Piano has always been my one true love. So when the music stops, I do whatever I can to hear it again. But when I wake, all I hear is his heart and the memories that come with it. This is my body. My mind. But not my heart. Each beat hides a secret, and his voice now replaces the music, demanding I uncover the truth. I’m sent to a place to get better, and that’s when I meet her. Every artist needs a muse, and Luna allows me to hear the music again. But when her secrets soon become mine, I realize it’s because I’ve lived this life before. Or rather, he has. The man whose heart beats within my chest knows Luna…and everything she’s done. . .

Age: 26 Hometown: Charleston, SC Current City: Goodlettsville, TN Occupation: Travel Blogger (formerly), Researcher and Team Liaison for Tear Back the Veil Investigations Backstory: her mom died when she was 11 and her dad started tagging along with a crew of paranormal investigators so she was always traveling and living out of crappy motels while her father tried desperately to make contact with her mother on the “other side” until he too passed away. Personality: Huntleigh is very reserved, closed off emotionally. Prefers to see the world through an analytical, skeptical lens.

Has your engagement on Instagram dropped dramatically too? 😡 Mine has to the point each post reaches less than 100 people out of 700 followers. Hashtags don't seem to be helping and slowly I'm seeing many friends migrating to other platforms; some to Twitter, some to TikTok, some to Facebook groups. I thought about doing the same but no matter what I choose among different social media, I'm going to lose followers anyway because people are not gonna be everywhere... so I decided to go back to the start and revive my old blog at elenchase.com, so that at least the people who want to see my content will always know where to find me. I'll be posting every Monday and talk about my wips, reviews, book recs and life in Italy 🇮🇹 ☀️🌊🏔 Click the link in my bio to subscribe to the newsletter now and get two downloadable gifts 🎁 ✅3 wallpapers for smartphone & tablet ✅ a digital scrapbook about Italy 🇮🇹 and the places and dishes that inspired my Italian Romance series I hope to see you on the other side 💙 and if you have a similar blog/website, drop a comment below! I'd love to connect with you outside IG! #thewritingcommunity #writerscommunity #writerscommunityofinstagram #writingcommunity #authorgram #writergram #authorsofig #indieauthors #indieauthorsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/ChAFJuBoWZT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cover Reveal

 A Discovery: Love and Other Things by 

Blurb:

"Eight weeks excavating the Egyptian desert under a world-renowned archaeologist."

That’s what Kitty Taha expected when she accepted the position for a third-year field internship. She certainly never thought she’d find herself literally under said archaeologist.

Dr. James Campbell is everything Kitty was not expecting in a professor: broody, moody, and hot as hell. She might have been able to excuse his mercurial ways, if only he hadn’t chosen violence and berated her in front of the entire dig crew and a collection of mummified cats. With no luggage, a sprained ankle, and a suspension notice from Dr. Jerk-Face Tight-Ass, her internship is already a complete disaster, and it’s only the second day!

If she wants to graduate with the rest of her class next year, Kitty needs to complete this internship as scheduled. Seeing no other option, she swallows her pride and decides to play nice—but she can barely offer a bogus apology complemented by her fakest smile before James completely disarms her, leaving her confused yet very turned on.

Can they keep their chemistry a secret? Or will her discovery of love and other things derail her career before it even starts?

★✩★ NEW RELEASE ★✩★

Vows and Vendettas A Mafia Romance Anthology Hosted by DS Book Promotions

Our underworld is filled with bloodshed and malice, and darkness dominates our lives.

It’s our world… where limits are built of smoke, and their rules have no power.

And when we find the object of our deepest desires, we are ruthless. Nothing, not even their defiance, will stand in our way.

We cast our shadows on them, and they give our corruption a purpose.

Before, we were breaking the rules for ourselves. Now, we are breaking every rule for them.

Grab this limited-edition collection before it’s gone forever!
