Hot #99cent Book Deals! Enjoy this intriguing excerpt from Book 3 in the Lustful Possession Series, The Fall of Cairnnon Castle #timetravel #DarkRomance


Meet the O’Cairnnon’s — a fate most do not survive...

A seemingly harmless paranormal investigation sparks a series of haunting events that ultimately sends an international team of supernatural investigators to Ireland and to one of the most haunted destinations in all of Europe… Castle Cairnnon. A saga sweeping several generations of characters, in an unsettling and at times horrific tale with many twists and turns, and a stunning conclusion you won’t see coming.

Travel Through Time and Unravel the Mystery of Cairnnon Castle


Each book in the Lustful Possession Saga, only .99¢ through May 31st at eXtasy Books

Please note: Though this collection of short stories is predominantly dark erotic paranormal—at times verging on horror—it runs the gamut in sub-genre cross-overs and eras—from contemporary to historical time-travel, and back again. The series also incorporates both m/f and m/m couplings, plus scenes with multi-partner interaction, m/m/m and m/f/f

Enjoy this intriguing teaser from my favorite book in LP series —can I say that? 😲 The Fall of Cairnnon Castle. It's got a little bit of everything I love to read and write, some time-travel—the present to historical—a heaping of mystery, a touch of horror, and two ruggedly handsome, medieval Irishmen, twin brothers no less, battling over one woman.


Caught in a cave-in, Scientist Neve Brádach, lies broken and dying, trapped inside the most haunted castle in Ireland with the infamous elemental, Bás a thagann. Neve is left defenseless to fight it and is forced to suffer a life that is not her own...
Prologue

Cairnnon Castle, Ireland—The Present 

The earth underneath me quakes. The sky above me falls. It rains down on me. Pain explodes inside my head. My ribs break. I am crushed.

A deafening rumble offends my ears. My body is tossed and crumpled, battered by debris. It goes on for an eternity.

And then...

Silence. Stillness.

The pain is immense. Like nothing I’ve ever endured in my life.

Oh, God! Please! I implore wordlessly. I cannot speak, scream, or moan.

My eyes are closed. But beyond me, there’s brightness, so vivid I detect it through my closed eyelids. I try to open them, but none of my faculties are functioning. I am heavy. My lungs are burning. It hurts to even take shallow breaths. I concentrate on the unenviable task of simply inhaling in and out—an action I have obviously taken for granted all these years. The dust is choking me. I try not to cough. I will split apart if I do. My ribcage has already splintered with the weight upon me.

A low hum begins. It is annoying, but as it goes on it becomes comforting, harmonious.

As the fire in my chest subsides, I am lethargic, sleepy, and content.

Stillness.

I know what this is. It is elemental. Inevitable, from the moment we take our first breath.

I wait for it...

Death comes.

Hello Friends, Readers & Visitors:

Thanks for stopping by. If, like me, you are having trouble occupying your time, I have some deals to share. Strangely, I have time to read and write, but honestly, I don't even want to. My heart's just not in it. I was struggling with diminished ambition before the pandemic, and it's even worse now. So, I've been house cleaning, as I know most of you are — Have you ever washed your hands so much in your whole life? — And my hubby and I have been busy clearing up the flower beds in the garden. The weather is only now beginning to be nice enough here in Ontario, to get out there. The wind still has a chill to it. We had wet snow last week. The flurries continue this week, but with no real accumulation. But my hardy little daffodils don't care, they are up along with the grape hyacinths. Oh, and my red Trillium is in bloom. [Fun fact: The white Trillium is the official flower of Ontario.] I think nature is the only thing that's 'normal' this year.




Anyway, 'nuff about me. If you are looking for some reads to occupy some time or for some much needed distraction — if even for just a little bit — the following list contains .99¢ reads, free reads to download, and bargain books on sale, in a variety of sub-genres, though all adult erotic romance.

Please stay safe and well.

Take Care, folks
Kymmie
aka H K Carlton

We’re a match made in hell, Stefan and I.

He took me to exact his revenge. I went from being a pawn to my father to being a pawn to Stefan. The only difference is I have a ring the size of a boulder on my finger and a husband I don’t want.

And the hardest part is I thought he was different. I thought I was falling in love.

I guess my father was right. I’m not a very smart girl.

Stefan is powerful man. He doesn’t play nice, not if you’re his enemy. But I have learned one thing about my husband.  

He takes care of what’s his.
And I am his.

His enemies have become my enemies, but he’ll never let anyone hurt me. He’s fiercely protective. It’s the predator inside that scares me.

Gabriela

Stefan Sabbioni showed up uninvited in my bedroom on my sixteenth birthday. He stood in the shadows smelling of whiskey and death and wrapped a broken, blood-crusted necklace around my neck. I thought he’d strangle me with it.

That night, he left a message for my father. He said he’d be back to take something precious.

I never delivered that message, though. I wonder if things would be different if I had because now, two years later, he’s back. And he’s not hiding in any shadows.

He’s come to make good on his promise.
He’s back to take that something precious.
Me. 

Stefan

Marchese is the manipulator of my family’s tragedy. I won’t just bring him to his knees. I’ll bury him for what he did.

Taking his daughter is only the beginning. I’ll do it knowing I’m starting a war. I’ll do it knowing my enemies will become his allies. They’ll stop at nothing to destroy me and he’ll stop at nothing to get her back.

I’ve never shied away from war, though. I’m not one to play nice and I don’t share my toys. I’ll demolish you if you touch what’s mine.

And she is most definitely mine.

Cover Reveal & Pre-Order - The Re-release of - If You Can't Handle the Heat - by H K Carlton #erotic #romance

I'm so excited about this one, peeps! Not only am I delighted to unveil the gorgeous new cover and art work for If You Can't Handle the Heat,which has been re-designed by the fabulous Emmy Ellis of Studioenp, I'm also self-publishing for the first time. GULP!

The release date is December 28th


This erotic story has been previously published with the title, If You Can't Stand the Heat. Though there is a little bit of added content, the story remains relatively the same. It has been re-edited and re-formatted for re-release, and has a sizzling new cover thanks to Studioenp

About the Book 

An unlikely couple is brought together as celebrity judges on a new reality-based cooking show. 

Sesto Théodore, is an arrogant yet well respected American-Italian chef, with several five-star restaurants. 

Once bitten, twice shy, Syn Fully, is a jaded author of erotica, rocketing her way up all the best sellers lists. 

From the moment Syn and Sesto meet, their personalities clash, yet behind the scenes sparks fly. Getting together would be a recipe for disaster, but hot sex with no-strings couldn’t hurt. At least not until real feelings get involved. 

But just when Syn considers opening her damaged heart to the cocky chef, video of rather personal content is leaked online. Sesto immediately jumps to conclusions and accuses Syn of the privacy breach. 

Can the arrogant chef forgive and forget, or will his pride leave him out in the cold? 

Somebody’s about to get burned… 

Possible Triggers: Please note one scene contains borderline bdsm and dubious consent/forcible confinement. Also in this story intimate video is obtained without the knowledge or consent of the participants involved, and later distributed online
