Weston Croix

Okay, so I might have a few playboy like tendencies. That tends to happen when you fall in love and don’t end up with the happily ever after of your dreams. I built a wall around my heart and decided to have a little fun instead.

Now, I’ve found myself falling for the ice queen herself. Did I mention that she’s also my editor-in-chief?

She’s not interested in me or being an us, but when our best friends start dating, we can no longer escape our insecurities or the fire burning between us.

I guess I’m just going to have to turn up the heat and melt her heart.

Wynter Carlisle

I’ve got the perfect job, an apartment in NYC’s elite 425 Madison high rise and life as I know is great.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that people are fickle and love isn’t always permanent. I’m the only one I can always count on, well except for my best friend Addison.

I had a plan to protect my heart. That was, until Weston – the cocky columnist who works for me…in more ways than one.

Can we really break down our own barriers or will our destiny go up in flames? We’re about to find out.

After all, 425 Madison is the perfect place to fall in love!

Exclusive Excerpt

Copyright @ J Marie 2020

She’s hiding something underneath that facade of stone and I have a plan to figure out exactly what it is. I want to know what makes her tick. What consumes her? What gets under her skin? What’s her flaw? Other than my flirting and charm, that is.

It’s starting to get to her. I can tell by every flinch or slip of her mask and I’m enticed to do it more. I want it to slip. I don’t want to play charades; I want her to show me the real her – The face behind the mask.

Come out and play, Wynter. A grin crosses my lips.

“Croix, my office now.” Her siren voice calls to me like a sailor doomed to meet his fate at the rocky cliffs. Wynter never calls me by my first name, but it’s not unusual. The longer she keeps up this detached front, the less she has to pretend.

My little arctic queen is angry and I wonder what’s put her over the edge this time. A flush covers her cheeks as her eyes find mine. I bet it’s the same blush she gets during sex.

Her pen angrily slips between her fingers as she twists it over and over.

“You rang?” I answer with a smirk. She shakes her head, looking down at what I assume is my piece for the magazine. “You really expect me to believe that ‘dating apps are the new rage for fans of hookups’?”

“Hey, don’t knock Match Me until you try it. Maybe it’d loosen you up a little, Ice Queen.” I smile another one of my dazzling, charming smiles and she scoffs pushing away my piece.

“I don’t need a dating app to help me hook up with men, I do just fine on my own.”

I snicker, mumbling under my breath. “You probably wouldn’t know a proper man even if he pleasured you six ways to Sunday.”

“What was that?”

“Oh, nothing. Guess some of us in the dating world just aren’t as lucky as you, your royal highness.” Sarcasm falls from my lips.

“Please stop calling me that, I am your boss.”

I fake salute her; a fat smile still planted across my face.

Leaning against the wall, I watch her eyes follow my silhouette. Do I detect a hint of approval? I’m wearing a white button-down, the top popped open exposing a slight peep show of my tattoos. Her eyes trail down my body and she licks her lips before catching herself. “Anything else you needed or was that all?”

She bites the cap of her pen and a slight crease forms on her forehead, as it often does when she’s lost in concentration or thought – another one of the many things I find intriguing about this woman.

“If this is the best you have, I guess I’ll post it. I am curious though… is this really all you’ve got swimming around in your brain? I find it hard to believe that a Yale graduate has nothing better to write about than hookups. It’d be a shame to find someone better versed in the world for that new senior columnist position opening up soon.”

Title: Grease Babe

Author: Elle Aycart

Genre: Contemporary Romance

About Grease Babe:

Alden is not only home to the gorgeous Bowen brothers, but also to the OGs, three hilarious octogenarian grandmas who believe age is nothing but a number. After their success helping one grandchild find love, they’ve decided to move on to the next. Nothing will stop them. Not even jail… Rachel’s upbringing was rough, but at 34, she loves the life she’s built for herself. She adores her grandmother, Alden, and her job as a mechanic. Now, if her grandma and her friends would just stop getting into trouble, everything would be perfect. She’s doing her best to keep them on the straight and narrow, but she spends more time arguing with the sheriff than working in her garage. Case in point the OGs’ latest stunt, which got all of them, Rachel included, sentenced to community service. So now she has to keep an eye on the crazy grannies and on the street teenage thugs she’s been court-ordered to teach mechanics to. And all thanks to the sheriff and that huge, unbendable stick up his ass. Adrian Skehan, a top-notch detective in Boston, enjoyed putting dangerous criminals and drug kingpins behind bars. He loved his fast-paced, glamorous city life, but after his estranged grandfather had a major stroke, he moved to Alden, became the sheriff and now he spends his days chasing after senior citizens and dealing with the OGs –the bane of his existence— and Rachel, their obnoxious defender. Terrific career move, really. Way to screw up his life. And his mental wellbeing. As if life wasn’t hard enough, now the OGs have decided to work on their bucket list… meaning the granddaughter and the sheriff must join forces to survive the mayhem. He likes his women… ivory-tower delicate. Not loud, highly opinionated and smelling of gasoline. She likes her men… easy-going. Not arrogant know-it-alls and sticklers for rules. Keeping these two together is a recipe for disaster. Too bad the OGs don’t see it that way.

Exclusive Excerpt:

“Never seen this place from this point of view,” Wilma said, sitting on the holding cell’s bench and glancing around. “Rather inhospitable.” Rebecca and Greta, both on the bench next to her, nodded. “You know what’s missing? Curtains,” Greta suggested. “Some festive theme. In red. There would be no outside view, but the bars would stay hidden. Would boost morale.” Wilma assented. “And pillows. This bench is too hard.” And now that they were on the topic, an in-depth cleaning would do this place a world of good. “In hindsight, it was a good decision to keep the bathing suits on,” Rebecca said. Yep, it had been. Or they would have been facing charges for breaking and entering, indecent exposure, and giving an officer of the law a heart attack. “He got mad this time,” Greta murmured. “The bottle of champagne didn’t help.” Neither did all the run-ins they’d had with Adrian lately. “I can’t believe you arrested them,” they heard Rachel yelling from the office. “Your granddaughter is here to rescue us,” Rebecca informed Wilma. Then she frowned. “We didn’t get a free phone call, like in the movies. Or did we get it and I spaced out?” “I don’t remember calling anyone,” Greta mused, shaking her head. Neither did she, but whoever had phoned Rachel had their best interest in mind. Rebecca’s grandson, Mike, would have bailed them out but would have given them a talk and taken the sheriff’s side. Greta’s son, Grady, would probably pay to keep them behind bars. Rachel was the only one carrying the senior flag. She always took their side, no matter what. Even when they were in the wrong. She’d rushed to their defense when the sheriff tried to get Wilma’s driving license revoked, which, taking into consideration that they were driving twice the allowed speed and about to turn into oncoming traffic, kind of made sense. In their defense, though, Wilma hadn’t had her glasses on, so she hadn’t seen the speedometer. And the oncoming traffic consisted of an empty street with a couple of cars parked on it. Rachel sounded outraged. “You can’t keep eighty-year-olds in a holding cell.” “And I wouldn’t have if they didn’t try to convince one of my officers to release them.” “Since when is it a crime to try to conv—” “Slipping him money,” Adrian cut Rachel off. “I told you it was a bad idea,” Rebecca mumbled to her friends. “A fifty-dollar bill was too little.” “Trying to bribe an officer is illegal. Breaking and entering too,” Adrian stated, his voice calm. So far. Rachel’s snort was loud. And rude. “There was nothing broken, and they didn’t enter the building. They just used the outdoors facilities. You could say they were rehearsing for the opening, making sure everything worked.” Wilma looked at her friends. “Why didn’t we think of that?” The conversation outside seemed to grow louder and louder. Rebecca lifted her shoulders. “In between the champagne and the chlorine I ended up guzzling, I was a bit fuzzy. Still am.” Greta pointed at the toilet in the far corner. “It’s the smell coming from that. As soon as we get out of here, we’re organizing some fundraiser to get this place in tip-top shape.” Wilma couldn’t stifle the laughter. “You plan on visiting often?” At her friend’s shrug, she dug into the pocket of her bathrobe and produced her cellphone. “Let’s immortalize the moment. Just in case.” “You had your phone all this time?” Rebecca asked. “I just remembered. Let’s do a selfie. With the bars as the backdrop. Ladies, get your duck faces on.” “I really don’t understand it,” Greta said in a sigh. “All our lives being told small lips are beautiful, and look at us now. Right when we need them, they’ve deflated.” “Like everything else,” Rebecca commiserated. “No lips, no boobs, no ass. Just shriveled-up skin.” “It’s from all the time we spent in the pool, don’t worry,” Greta said. Rebecca didn’t seem too convinced. “Ready?” Wilma asked, interrupting. She wasn’t wearing her glasses, so she wasn’t sure the shot was centered, but she stretched out her hand, took the picture and hoped for the best. “Now let’s Tweet with the hashtags #campingwiththegirls #exploringnewfrontiers #nevertooOldtogetarapsheet.” “Two months,” Adrian said sternly. Wilma could almost see him standing with his arms crossed on his chest. That handsome, young face of his, frowning and getting old and crinkled prematurely. What a waste. “The B&B opens in a couple of months. Couldn’t they wait?” Rachel was raising her voice, sounding exasperated. “They don’t make long-term plans.” “Two months is a long-term plan?” “What do you think? They don’t even buy their bananas green,” her granddaughter all but yelled, her tone aggravated. Wilma could also see her in her mind, standing as tall as possible, on tiptoe, probably, facing off with Adrian. “This is an abuse of authority.” Rebecca turned to Wilma. “I love your Rachel. You really got lucky in the grandchildren department.” Wilma knew. She’d missed her granddaughter’s childhood because of the divorce, but Rachel had gotten in touch with her ten years ago, and when she decided to move to Alden, Wilma had been ecstatic. “Like you can complain with Mike,” Greta said to Rebecca. “You’re both lucky. I struck out.” Greta’s son was no fun. Her grandson, Connor, was a sweetheart, but he was in the military and was very seldom in the US. “I remind you I’m already taking care of all the police cars’ maintenance.” Rachel’s voice was getting louder by the second. “Three cars. Do I have to remind you what the OGs did to make that happen?” Greta and Wilma stared at Rebecca, who whispered, “What?! That was an accident. It could happen to any one of us.” “Wait a second.” There was a pause, and then Rachel cursed. “You have them in their bathing suits and wet robes? What are you thinking? They’re old. They could get a cold and die,” Rachel reprimanded him. Good attempt at guilt tripping. It might have worked with other police officers, but Adrian was too seasoned. The OGs knew; they’d tried it before. Adrian snorted. “They won’t. Viruses don’t dare mess with them. And it’s not my fault they decided to drive there in their bathing suits and without any spare clothes. Wait, how do you know…” “They’re Tweeting from their cell, that’s why. You have them half-naked in there.” Oops… and Wilma thought she’d pointed the camera at their faces. “I’m going to sue you,” Rachel continued. “The whole department. This is misuse of power. Abuse of authority. Human rights violation. Whatever it’s called.” From then on, Wilma couldn’t make out the words, because both were screaming. After a short while, the door from the corridor opened, and Rachel marched in, followed by Adrian. “How good to see you, dear. You’re here to bail us out?” Wilma asked, as the sheriff began unlocking the cell. Rachel had her arms crossed, her lips pursed, and was giving him the evil eye. “I’m afraid not, grandma.” Adrian opened the cell and, to their surprise, pushed Rachel in and closed the door behind her. “She’s being charged with disorderly conduct.” “Disorderly conduct, my ass,” she replied. “This is contempt of cop.” The sheriff ignored Rachel. “The phone, ladies,” he demanded, stretching his hand out to them. Wilma harrumphed but gave it to him. “Don’t take it out on poor Walter. He was scared of frisking me.” “Have a great evening, ladies,” he said as he walked away. “See you tomorrow.” “Now what?” Greta asked when they were alone again. The four of them sat on the bench. Wilma sighed. “Now we wait until Mike logs on to Twitter.”

❤ COVER REVEAL ❤ Savage Devil by Daniela Romero❤

Daniela Romero has revealed the cover for Savage Devil, the second book in The Devils of Sun Valley High! 

Releasing January 4, 2021

It’s hard to deny a Devil …

Especially one who promises you a night you’ll never forget.


One night.
No exchanging names.
No exchanging numbers.

That was the deal we made.
I was moving away. I’d never see him again and I wanted to leave Sun Valley with zero regrets.
Only I got more than I bargained for and nine months later delivered a bundle of joy complete with ten tiny fingers and ten perfect toes.

A year and a half later, I’m back.
And this Devil is no longer the devil in my dreams. Now he haunts my nightmares.
He’s savage.
He’s sinful.
And I’m barely a blip on his radar.

I came with good intentions. Determined to tell him the truth. But with so much on the line, I’m beginning to reconsider.
Because making a deal with the devil again just might be another mistake.
