L.A. Blythe discovered her love for books at an early age. She is a hopeless romantic at heart and believes that everyone deserves their happily ever after. An East Coast native hailing from the Tri-State area, L.A. Blythe hates the cold weather, but loves her chunky sweaters and cups of coffee. When she's not writing, she can be found traveling, binge-watching TV, spending time with loved ones, and obsessing over all things Harry Potter.
Here is a short sample from the book:
I don’t want to get my hopes up. For all I know, the person who knocked on the door could be one of my dad’s goons. He promised he wouldn’t have them tail after me today, but he’s notoriously overprotective and paranoid, so I wouldn’t put it past him to go back on his word to me. I can already hear his voice in my head, explaining it away, justifying it. I’m your father, not one of your little friends. It’s my job to protect you at all times and at all costs.
The thing is, I don’t ask for much. The least my dad could do is allow me my one and only birthday wish.
Unlike most girls my age, all I wanted for my fifteenth birthday was one day of independence. One day of peace and tranquility. One day to just be regular old Micaela and not Micaela Giorgia Moretti, daughter of the head of one of the Five Families in New York City.
Taking a deep breath, I finally open the door.
Standing in the hallway is none other than Ajax. My former best friend. The boy I share a July Third birthday with. The boy I was supposed to marry before everything went to hell in a hand basket. The first-born son of mafia Don Nicolo Caruso, my dad’s number one enemy, and heir to a bloody throne.

Heart Robber (Lifestyle by Design Book 2) by Miranda P. Charles @MirandaPCharles
Jessa Allen knew she was plain and average. Yes, she was brainy and successful in her career as a senior writer for the popular Lifestyle by Design magazine, but she wasn’t a raving beauty who easily attracted hunky, gorgeous men like Rob Granger even if her well-meaning friends wanted her to believe she was. So when Rob asked her out, she was shocked. A seriously handsome man who had magnetism she couldn’t seem to escape wanted her. That wasn’t something that happened everyday.
Rob Granger was instantly attracted to Jessa Allen. She wasn’t the usual type he went for but there was something alluring about her that drew him like a moth to a flame. But he was a self-confessed playboy who had absolutely no plans to be tied down by any woman. He valued his freedom, first and foremost and his expanding business was the only thing he was committed to. But he was intent on satisfying his intense desire for Jessa.
They both didn’t want to fight their physical attraction for each other. But Jessa found herself falling for the man who could not promise her tomorrow. And Rob was set on only having a short fling with Jessa especially when they lived in different states – he in Melbourne and she in Sydney.
Could Jessa trust herself not to fall apart when the time came to let Rob go? And could Rob ever find freedom in what he considered as a prison to be avoided at all cost?
Mobster’s Angel by Amy Rachiele
Being smart doesn’t save you from terror and doesn’t teach you how to live with it. You can’t escape the mob. It’s part of your existence!
Vito has grown up in the underworld of the mob. He has recently reached age eighteen. His family has been involved since the thirties. In 2014, the rules haven’t changed much. What worked then, works now; power, violence, and loyalty.
Love isn’t something you can control. As much as Vito, mobster enforcer, wish he could, he can’t. And falling in love with someone who is close to jailbait age is even tougher. Vito bides his time and waits. For a hasty guy with limited self-control, it’s difficult to curb his impulses.
At age fifteen, Erin just wants to forget. Erin’s world came crashing down when she learned her family was not what they seemed. She’s been living in a lie. No one told her her family was mob. The cliché ignorance is bliss becomes a sharp stabbing realization when she has to learn to cope with the aftermath.
“Sometimes I hear him whispering in my ear as if my conscience has grown and matured into a six foot three dark haired male. The studying, reading, and listening I did to impress adults are nothing compared to what I learned from Vito.”
~ Erin
