BETRAYAL (Obsession #2)
Synopsis:
"I gave you one chance, Anna. A chance to run and never look back. That's all you had to do. Run and keep your goddamn head down, yet here we are and it's not just you in the firing line anymore. You better pray that nothing bad happens to my brother, because this time I'll be taking you down with me."
Running was the only option that Anna Jameson was given. To up and leave everything that she had ever known and put it all behind her. That was the toughest decision that she'd ever made, and she made it... But was it all worth it?
As soon as her anxiety and fear began to slowly ebb away, she could see a faint light at the end of the dark and horrific tunnel that she had found herself in... That light was the dark, sexy and demanding Jensen Blake. A man who played on her every emotion and a man who she swore she would avoid at all costs.
Nobody can run forever and the past is about to catch up with her. With nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, how many more people will suffer at the hand of Anna's hidden past?
Danger, fear and betrayal decide to make an unwelcome appearance and it looks like they're about to become her new best friends.

Passion by Control
Book Two in the Passion Series
by J.A. Melville
Blog Tour
Add to Goodreads
Synopsis
Sirene Devereaux came to town, looking for a man; but not just any man, she was looking for a vampire.
This wasn't about finding love. She was in town to do a job. It was business, not pleasure. She had to hunt down one particular vampire and make his very existence a living hell.
To hide her true identity, she got a job waitressing and eventually some gigs singing, since that was her real passion. Of course there was more to her than met the eye. Sirene was a witch.
It didn't take her long to find a place to stay, make friends and find her vampire. In fact, he found her.
Fabian Sorensen wants Sirene the moment he lays eyes on her, but unfortunately his natural charm doesn't seem to work on her. He's used to getting any woman he wants, yet she seems immune.
When he finally gets the chance to spend a night with her, he discovers she's no ordinary woman, she's a witch and he hates witches. It has never ended well for him when he encounters them.
Sirene is no different. She hurts him, humiliates him and attacks the one thing precious to him, his manhood and for that, he wants revenge. He learns she's been sent to torture him and she's a serious threat to his normally controlled world. He has survived over 600 years and suddenly everything is threatened by one tiny raven haired witch.
She thwarts his attempts to make her pay for what she did to him. Any time he's around her, she completely unmans him. He hates that he is attracted to her. He uses women for blood and sex, he doesn't do relationships, so why is this one messing with his head so much?
Sirene too, is drawn to him which goes against everything she is in town to do. She's supposed to loathe him, not like him. The attraction between them is powerful but will it ultimately destroy them?
When a series of challenges arises and their very lives are threatened, can they survive? With so much against them, is it possible for a witch and a vampire to truly find love?
Author Bio
For as long as I can remember, I've loved to
write, poetry, short stories just about anything. My English teachers in school
kept telling me I should write and it took me a lot of years to finally get
around to it.
I spent too long worrying about failing as a writer before I realized that
living with the regret of never trying was worse.
I live in a sleepy country town in Tasmania, Australia with my partner and our
three children, who aren't so little anymore, plus a whole assortment of
animals.
Natasha's Awakening is my first book but I have no intention of stopping now
and will continue to live my dream of being a published author. I have just
published Taming Eric which is his POV to Natasha's Awakening.
My interests are writing of course, reading, watching movies and hanging out at
home with my family, our six cats and one dog.
You can find me on Facebook under my author page J. A Melville and my book's
page Natasha's Awakening.

Dear Diary MB Feeney Release Blitz
The brilliant and loving Mich Feeney has joined the Magic of Books Promotions team. Her talents and expertise will shoot the promotional company into the stars and beyond. To help welcome her into the family, as owner of the company, I present the newest book of the author and friend she has become to me.
Born and bred in the UK, Holly is getting the chance of a lifetime—six weeks abroad. The Kings, a host family in the US, have invited her to stay with them and get a chance to experience life as an American. When she discovers that the King family includes two teenage boys, will she be glad she came or ready to hightail it back across the pond?
M. B. Feeney is an army brat who finally settled down in Birmingham, UK with her other half, two kids and a dog. Currently at university studying for her BA (Hons) in primary teaching, she procrastinates on her assignments by listening to music of all genres and trying to get ‘just one more paragraph’ written on whichever WIP is open. She is also a serious doodler and chocoholic. Writing has been her one true love ever since she could spell, and publishing is the final culmination of her hard work and ambition.
Her publishing career began with two novellas, and she currently has multiple projects under way whilst Honour, a compilation of her own military based shorts, was released in November 2013 and her short novel, The One That Got Away was released February 2015. Always having something on the go can often lead to block which eventually gets dissolved by good music and an even better book.
Her main reason for writing is to not only give her readers enjoyment, but also to create a story and characters that stay with readers long after the book is finished, and possibly make someone stop and think “what if...”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've only just met Mich, but I already see a lifelong friend. Her talents go far beyond writing. She's a thankless mother of two, a loving woman to her soulmate and is always thinking of her friends before herself. Maybe that's one of the reasons she's gone into teaching; a chance to shape the young minds of our future writers. I'm so excited to spend time with a generous and loving personality like hers and to learn and grow from her wealth of expertise. My life will never be the same now that you have entered my life.

Hmm, a personal testimony about Mich (M.B. Feeney) . . . Where to start! Shall I do this like a Best Man speech? Yeah, why not
.
*pouts that I don’t have a glass of bubbly to toast this awesome girl*
Well, I first ‘met’ Mich quite a few years ago. I can't remember the exact details, but knowing us two, we were probably up to no good. It was online, of course, but that didn’t stop us! We grew close as friends and then we cemented our friendship by meeting up in person. It was at a Twilight convention (don’t groan, it was a fun weekend! Lol).
Here’s what I’ve learned and loved about Mich over the years:
She is fiercely loyal to her friends and family. No matter what, she’s there. No matter what she’s going through herself, she’s there for her friends.
She has a slight music addiction (which we share). I’ve lost count on the artists we’ve talked about over the years lol.
She also adores her cowboy boots (The Boots Stay on!) I swear this addiction was brought on by Jackson Rathbone, but it’s not like I’d complain. Have you seen that man on stage? Phew!
She loves 1 Direction *coughs* Louis *coughs*
She is one hell of a kick arse author! Have you read her books? Damn, this girl can write! She sticks to normal men! Nope, there’s not a billionaire arsehole in sight, thank God!
She’s training to be a teacher. Now, props to her, because being in a classroom of 30+ kids all day . . . nah lol.
But the thing I love about Mich is this. She’s Mich. She puts on no front. What you see is what you get and that’s quite rare in an author. She hates putting herself out there. She hates pimping herself. She’ll bend over backwards for anyone, but ignores herself.
She is an awesome friend and I know that I can count on her for anything. I know she wants the publishing world to take her seriously, because she lives for books – reading and writing.
And Mich, when you get this, when you sit and read this . . . Thanks. Thanks for being such an amazing friend, an awesome author, and someone anyone can instantly love.
*raises cup of tea*

The moment I read M B Feeney’s first
story, I knew I had discovered one seriously talented author. With a
British flavour to each of her stories, M B builds strong, unique
characters that draw the reader in until they can’t help but become
invested. Her latest offering, Dear Diary (The Exchange Series Book
1) is no exception. A great start to what I anticipate will be a
fantastic series.
When she’s not
busy with writing, her studies and family commitments, M B Feeney is
100 percent committed to supporting the indie writing community. She
has not only read and reviewed hundreds, if not thousands of stories
over the years, she has always been there to lend an ear, shoulder,
or hand any way she can for countless numbers of people.
On a personal level, I’ve known M B
Feeney for well over 5 years. She is a true friend, mother, sister
and confidante… a woman who is genuine, honest, and generous to a
fault. (She is also quite partial to pear cider now and then too
lol). She also encouraged me to take my first tentative step into the
world of writing, and for that, I will be forever grateful. I can
honestly say without a single doubt in my mind, that if it weren’t
for one Ms M B Feeney, I would not have become a published author.
L J Harris.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
With stories set in England that are witty yet quirky, M.B. Feeney has a way with words that’ll suck you right into her fictional worlds. I'm proud to call her friend.
<3 RE Hargrave
Here are some ways you can stalk and learn about this warm hearted woman.
I encourage all of you help welcome her to the Magic of Books family by purchasing one of her incredible books today.
(Purchase of any of MB's books can be used towards entries in the Rafflecopter)
"Just Like in the Movies" is about to be rereleased with a new cover...signup today for the BLOG BLITZ on July 3, 2015.

Synopsis
International
Best Selling Author Abbie St. Claire brings you a delightful story about a
spunky veterinarian who throws all the cards in for a fun night on the town,
but finds out losing a game of pool isn't such a bad thing after all.
A woman who knows that the only guy she ever loved was a cheater and a
slimeball, but hates the idea of being the last one of her friends to be
single…
A man who spent years chasing the beauty queen and always coming in second,
takes a bet from his friends for a little action. Little does he know that when
they up the ante, they also get to pick the girl…
That’s when Miss Pinkhaired Girl suddenly turns into Miss Blue Eyes…
Flynn Davis had spent years waiting on Courtney to give up the chase for the
crown and settle down to married life and babies. When they broke up, he
thought maybe he’d missed his chance to have the family he always wanted,
regardless of how hard his friends, Drew and Allen, tried to hook him up.
Chloe Howard had her heart broken at Moody’s Bar when she discovered her
boyfriend cheating on her. She left with tears, he left with a beer in his
face. Now, at 29, she’s convinced the only males that give her any attention
are her patients and they can’t talk back.
A bachelorette party brings her to Moody’s Bar once again. A guys night out
brings Flynn. Because of a bet, they’re matched up whether they want to be or
not, despite how hard they fight it. If only she could remember what happened
last night…

Author Bio
I've spent many years crafting stories
in my brain. Finally, after the encouragement from those that love and support
me the most, I put my first story out by self-publishing in 2013.
That first milestone created a writing
monster in me that couldn't be stopped and filled a void I cannot explain. Each
story is a true gift from my heart and a sacrifice from my soul, since I find
it difficult to let the characters go.
At home in Texas, my husband and I
share our life with children that mean the world to us and include a couple of
fur babies. When we aren't busy watching sports and betting on the game, we are
entertaining with friends.
I do have a writing cave, but
honestly, most of my work comes from the kitchen, the heartbeat of any home.
Since noise doesn't disturb me too much when writing, I can write and keep the
pulse on the family at the same time. And... Possibly enjoy my favorite, sinful
treat... Cookie dough!
The writer-reader world is my
lifeline. I'm addicted and each time I get a message from a reader, I'm
thrilled. There's quite a few stories planned for the next several months. I'm
hoping the readers fall in love with my next series, The Creek Series. A story that
is guaranteed to bring out all the emotions.
If you've read my books, thank you! It
truly means the world.

As I return his gaze, my heart seems to stop
and time slows to a screeching halt. There’s nothing else that he can do to
save me. The only chance I have now is to trust that these researchers in their
government funded laboratories have discovered some miracle drug that might
give me my life back. I lean back into my pillows clutching the black and gold
fleece Purdue blanket my eight year old niece, Shay, made me when my hospital
stays increased to weeks instead of days. Touching the soft fleece helps my
rapid heartbeat slow down and allows my mind to consider the options. I close
my eyes and consider what I have to gain if I could through with the drug
trials. It could help me lead a normal life if it works or it could take away
the quality of life in the time I have left. I know deep down I want to
live and this trial could mean everything in my battle. After what seems like hours,
even though it was only a few minutes in reality, I open my eyes and look for
my parents. They are both sitting in the blue plastic covered recliners in my
room holding each other’s hands with their foreheads pressed together in what I
am assuming is prayer. They hear the plastic move on my hospital bed as I
shift trying to make myself as comfortable as I can with all the tubes coming
out of me and they turn their faces towards me. The look on my mother’s face
tells me that they know I’m about to make the decision that will forever change
our family. A decision that I don’t even think they would have the strength to
make on my behalf. I turn my eyes to Dr. Bob, who is still sitting on the edge
of my bed waiting for my decision. It takes me a few seconds to realize that I
hold the keys to my life in what I’m about to say. As I open my lips the tears
finally begin to flow.

Synopsis
When I moved to New York, I never dreamed that I would end up as a Top Twelve finalist for America's Favorite Dancer. I knew the competition would be a great opportunity for my career, but I had no idea it would turn out to be the best summer of my life. My golden ticket onto the show led to new friendships and hot steamy romances.
However, behind the cool, confidence that I showed the world was a broken heart that had never completely healed. Dance was my ongoing therapy, and I vowed to never let a man get close enough to hurt me ever again.
Instead, I kept my relationships the same way I liked to dance....fast and unbinding. Was I a heartbreaker? Maybe. But mostly just protecting my own heart.
Now, if I could only forget the love of my life, I would be okay, but until then I would continue to Just Dance.
*Just Dance is a companion novella in the Dancer's Desire series, which can be read alone, but is better as Book 2.5 in the series. It is a short story with a little bit of romance and a whole lot of fun.*
