From the New York Times bestselling author of Stepbrother Dearest, comes a new forbidden STANDALONE romance.

What happens when the one you want is the only one you can’t have?

My name is Sevin.

Homeschooled and sheltered by my ultra-religious family, I was always taught that lust was a sin.

Elle was the girl who’d been carefully chosen for me.

After a long-distance courtship, I’d be moving into her family’s guesthouse so that we could get to know each other in the months before the wedding.

Boundaries were set: no inappropriate touching, no kissing, no sex before marriage.

I’d accepted those rules and my fate.

Until I met the one I wanted to sin with.

That was when restraint became a problem…especially since the one wasn’t Elle.

It was her sister, Evangeline.

You know what they say about best laid plans.

My name is Sevin, and I have sinned.

Told in alternating points of view, Sins of Sevin is a full-length standalone novel. Contains graphic sexual content and harsh language. Only appropriate for adult readers age 18+.

When twenty-four-year-old Felicity Harper is dragged to a sugar party, an event where wealthy men and women seek “companionship,” she never expects this one simple decision to drastically change her whole life. Her past is nothing but broken dreams and heartache. Her present is detached and dull. And her future? Well, before meeting Theodore Darcy, the famed film director, writer, producer and CEO of Darcy Entertainment, she would have expected more of the same. Love is just a fantasy and she wants no part of it—even if she can’t deny the undeniable attraction between the two of them. So their arrangement is simple: sex with no strings attracted. But as their intimacy becomes more powerful, so do Felicity’s demons. Can Theo really shoulder her past and his own? And could Felicity even let him?

Because of him, I was strong enough to survive.

Trista
Within the last few weeks I’ve been stalked, almost raped, witnessed a murder, and found out I am working with the FBI. All because of that slutty tramp, Marvy. Mind you, I did have my first sexual experience with a smoking hot guy, so there’s that…but I still hate her.

Marvy
That wimpy cry-baby blames me for everything which is total joke! If it were up to me, I wouldn’t have gone back to the club without a gun. Now I’m stuck with that jerk-off, Bryson, hiding from people that want to see me dead.

Trista
I’m supposed to be getting the dirt on Bryson, but truth of the matter is, I think I’m falling for the scumbag. He did kill someone to protect me, but he’s the reason he had to. Sigh. I don’t know what to think a

bout him. He doesn’t know about my secrets. Or maybe he does.
The only man I can trust is Alex. But he doesn’t know where I am thanks to Bryson. I love them both in ways that are completely different—kind of like my alters.

Valeria
Wat a friggin’ mess! Dez two are idjits!

Blurb:

A knight in tarnished armor is still a knight.

When you’re a defense attorney in Washington, DC, you see firsthand how hard life can be, and that sometimes the only way to survive is to be harder. I, Jake Becker, have a reputation for being cold, callous, and intimidating—and that suits me just fine. In fact, it’s necessary when I’m breaking down a witness on the stand.

Complications don’t work for me—I’m a “need-to-know” type of man. If you’re my client, tell me the basic facts. If you’re my date, stick to what will turn you on. I’m not a therapist or Prince Charming—and I don’t pretend to be.

Then Chelsea McQuaid and her six orphaned nieces and nephews came along and complicated the ever-loving hell out of my life. Now I’m going to Mommy & Me classes, One Direction concerts, the emergency room, and arguing cases in the principal’s office.

Chelsea’s too sweet, too innocent, and too gorgeous for her own good. She tries to be tough, but she’s not. She needs someone to help her, defend her…and the kids.

And that — that, I know how to do.

Exclusive Interview With Emma Chase

1. As a mom did any of the antics with kids come from personal experience with your children?

Yes. Pretty much all of them in some shape or form. Even though some of the scenes that played out in the book weren’t from actual experiences with my own kids, they were still inspired by the feelings – the love, the laughter, the frustration, the joy – from real life events.

2. How do you balance time to read with writing and being a mom?

It’s still a work in progress. Some days I’m able to hit my word count early then put the laptop away – and I feel very accomplished and organized on those days. But there are just as many when I’m writing in between time with the kids – get them fed and off to school, then write, talk and hang out with them when they get home, then write, help them with homework and have dinner, then write…

It’s not an exact science, but I’m very lucky that my kids are old enough to understand when I have to work. And they think my being an author is pretty cool – so that helps too.

3. How much research did you have to do for writing lawyers? Was it easier or more difficult than previous books?

More research definitely went into this series than the Tangled Series. In Tangled, once I understood what investment banking was and Drew laid that out for the reader, there wasn’t much research needed afterwards.

 But in the Legal Briefs Series – particularly in Sustained and Appealed – some of the action takes place in court and revolves around their positions as attorneys. The way I handled it was I wrote the scenes as I thought they would be in real life and then I fact checked and revised to make it accurate. I was also lucky to be able to email with an actual attorney who practices in Washington DC – his guidance was invaluable.

4. What has been your favorite male character to write up until now?

Up until this point, Drew Evans was my end-all be-all – because there’s isn’t anything he won’t say or think. He has no boundaries and that’s incredibly fun to write.

But…

Jake Becker is now firmly tied with Drew (maaaybe even edged ahead of him) as my favorite. I love Jake’s sense of humor – dry, scathing, hilarious – and he has this natural nurturing instinct that he doesn’t even realize. There’s a depth to him that’s really fascinating – he’s this tough-guy protector, but still so gentle with Chelsea and the kids when needed. Jake has the capacity to love passionately and deeply, he’s loyal and caring – such an easy character to fall in love with and is so very interesting to write.  

5. What are 3 fun facts about you?

When I read a book I read the last page first.

I grew up in the same hometown as Jon Bon Jovi.

I randomly break into song around the house (my singing voice is bad) and my darling daughter has sworn that one day she’s going to tape me and upload it to Snapchat.

SLAMMER

by Tabatha Vargo

Blurb

The last place Christopher Jacobs, aka X, thought he’d find himself was behind bars. Ten years later, the boy he used to be is gone. In his place is the shell of a man with murder under his belt. Any emotion he once had was left under the gavel when he was given life in prison. That is until the new nurse in the infirmary joins the block.
Putting your hands on a prison employee will get you the hole, but some things are worth their punishment, and something tells him Lyla will be worth more than he bargained for.

Lyla Evans isn’t sure about her new job at a maximum security prison, but showing uncertainty and weakness isn’t an option. Taking care of murders and rapist isn’t ideal, but survival is key. She’s warned ahead of time about a prisoner named X, but when she’s attacked, it’s the dangerous X that saves her. Fraternizing with the prisoners is forbidden, but sometimes the most forbidden things are the sweetest.
