Release Day Blitz: The Manny (Locked & Loaded #1) by Susan Ward

April 18, 2016

The Manny Release.jpg

The Manny

Synopsis

The Locked & Loaded Series is a spinoff of the Amazon Bestselling Sand & Fog Series. Six Bodyguards telling their own stories and keeping it real. Each book is a standalone and can be read in any order.

I never understood when people said someday you would love someone enough to want it all. All? I didn’t even know what they meant by “all.” I’d spent most of my life in the military in the Special Forces and, since taking that career-ending bullet in Kandahar, as personal security for the most famous rock star on the planet. My life worked for me. I didn’t need more and I sure as hell didn’t need to have the heterosexual fantasy.
Straight life for a gay man?
Married instead of lovers?
Physical fidelity in addition to emotional fidelity?
Children?
Hell no. I was living life full-throttle in every man’s dream—in the center of a sexual orgy that spanned the globe, without limits or judgment. Why would any man want to change that?
But the minute I saw him, it all changed. I knew he was the one for me. The one the term all was invented for.
I never expected to fall so completely for a one-night stand. I thought this kind of love was something I was incapable of feeling, but then Leland Jensen was not my usual type of hookup. He was my age when I’d always been careful to stick with partners too young to hold my interest. He was smart and humorous. And he was my match in bed.
That he wasn’t like my other sexual partners should have warned me away that first night. Instead, it drew me to him like a moth to a flame. And there was no way to escape my desire for Leland since he was my employer.
I didn’t want a job guarding a child.
I didn’t want to fall in love with her father.
I did both.

My name is Lloyd Ledbetter and I am the best lawyer New York criminals can

LUCAN ­ KIM BLACK

I am a FBI agent, working undercover within the Petrov Bratva, Russian

mob.

Swarm too much and you were killed. Seem too eager and you were also

killed. The Bratva only has use for the best of the best. You must be lethal,

brutal and show no mercy.

For 5 years I’ve played the part of loyal servant. Never bringing awareness

as to my true identity. I am careful.

But one woman could be the downfall to everything I have worked so hard

to accomplish. Can I walk away from everything if it means saving her life?

KB Teaser

DILLON ­ SUSAN WARD

I’m Dillon Warrick.

Ex­Special Forces. I have no memory of what went down on my last

deployment, so when the opportunity came to resign my commission and

sign up for a new gig I jumped on it.

Now I’m the personal bodyguard for the biggest celebrity on the globe and

still living life on the edge.

I’m six feet two inches of blond­haired, blue­eyed Adonis, combat­fit body

and fully loaded weapon.

My best friend, Graham, thinks I’m running too close to the edge and about

to take a fall. And then there’s Rachel, my former high school sweetheart

turned fuck­buddy. As incredible as she is, I can’t commit until I unravel the

mystery of what happened on my final mission.

S.W Teaser

WADE ­ SCARLET WOLFE

On the surface, country boy Wade is a reckless partier and a player. The

word relationship is not in his vocabulary. The feeling is mutual for Laney

after being burned by a past relationship. The two meet at a bar, and there

is something neither of them can shake about each other once Laney literally

falls onto Wade’s fit, handsome body.

Wade must repossess Laney’s car, and she continues to be a thorn in his

side as they set out on an adventure together. Can the two of them see past

the surface and bring out the best in one another, or will Wade’s bad habits

send him back home alone?

SW Teaser

MAVERICK ­ KIRSTY­ANN STILL

Some will call me crazy, but it’s simpler than that ­ when you love someone,

walking away is the hardest thing to do.

I’ve done it ­ twice ­ and I refuse to walk away anymore.

I’m Zane Maverick and its third time’s a charm where Amelia Abbiati is

concerned.

This fight isn’t one I’ll lose.

KAS Teaser

HOLT ­ A.M. WILSON

My alias is Brixton Holt. Using my real name could get me killed. When the

FBI needed a man undercover, I was the perfect candidate. Unattached and

an all­around badass. Two years of infiltrating the largest sex trafficking ring

in the country, I feel as dirty as the monsters I work for. That is, until she

catches my eye. I call her Brandi. Her real name is no longer significant. She

knows the rules. Nobody leaves unless it’s in a box­­a shipping crate or a

coffin. My first mistake was following orders. The second? Falling in love.

AMW Teaser

JAMISON ­ LENA BLACK

I lived a simple life. I had my own apartment, a successful restaurant I ran

with my sister, and my cat, Prue. I was ignorantly happy.

Until him…

I wasn’t looking for anything beyond a place to hide the night I walked into

Jamison’s tattoo parlor.

By the time I’d left, he’d made an impression on my body…and my mind.

Jamison wasn’t easy to get to know. He wouldn’t let me get close enough to

see who he really was. When he finally did, I was introduced to a world I’d

only ever experienced in movies.

It wasn’t the life he chose. It’s the life he was born into. Leaving it behind

meant there would be causalities…I never realized I’d be one.

LB Teaser

TROY ­ XYLA TURNER

Savannah’s life was on automatic as she still resided in the same sleepy

town she grew up in with the same people and the same situations. Then

she ran across Troy Bennet, the outsider, who didn’t mess around with any

of the townie women. Ever.

Until that fateful day, when she learned that her bedroom cravings were not

foreign to the brooding man and he was willing to follow­through on his

promise.

That was until Savannah found herself in the middle of a shoot­out, only to

learn that the sexy Troy was a hired assassin.

Title: The Girl of Sand & Fog
(The second of 3 stand-alone books.)

Series: Sand & Fog Series
Author: Susan Ward
Release Date: October 25th

The Girl of Sand & Fog is the second of three Stand-Alone books
in the Sand & Fog series. This book has a HEA.
Two seconds into the
kiss, I’m sure I haven’t misread the guy. He likes me. He is attracted to me. I
feel that flash of female supremacy surge through me. Just to be a bitch, I
move my hips slightly to brush my softer parts against his no longer soft part
before I end the kiss and scramble back over the gearshift to my side of the
car.

“You can go now,” I
say.

“I was planning to.”
Bobby opens the car door. “Do you want to hang out again sometime?”

He’s almost out of
the car. What a strange ‘that’s it’…

Kaley Stanton has it
all. Beauty. Brains. Wealth. A beloved, renowned family. And fame as an Internet
sensation. What she doesn’t have is the one thing she needs: the truth.

Bobby Rowan isn’t
the ordinary boy next door. This hot surfer doesn’t play by any rules but his
own. He’s never chased any girl. Kaley is no different.

As childhood friends
reconnecting years later, their shared history and instant chemistry draws them
together. But is that enough to make these two independent and conflicted souls
a forever love or will the past make a future for them impossible?

Amazon top 100 Bestselling in Contemporary Romance/ Coming-of-Age/Historical Romance/Historical Romance Regency/ Erotica Humorous

I’m addicted to writing. I’ve written 41 romance novels My current releases include: The Girl on the Half Shell; The Girl of Tokens & Tears; The Girl of Diamonds & Rust; The Girl in the Comfortable Quiet; The Signature; Rewind; One Last Kiss; One More Kiss; One Long Kiss; When the Perfect Comes; Face to Face; Love’s Patient Fury. 

I’ve been in love with the Romance novel since I read my first Kathleen Woodiwiss book, and it seems to me that beyond a steamy fun read, a good romance novel is so much more: it is women empowering women. We share. We learn. 

So about me? I’m as eclectic as my books. A mom. A grandmother. A business owner. A writer of romance. An advocate for clean air and the environment. A wife and an animal lover. The best way to explain me is that once in a talent contest I played classical piano followed by a chopsticks duet with my toes. That pretty much sums up how I’ve lived my life!

Vanderling has reached middle age but doesn’t feel like she has anything to
show for it. As the manager of a prosperous art gallery, she works hard, but
her personal life is practically non-existent. Her son Thomas has graduated
college and is about to start a new IT company in Japan with his best friend.
She might not see him for six months. So she arranges for them to have one more
trip to a family beach home on the Hamptons. When her son’s best friend shows
up, she finds much more than just a simple vacation—she discovers a passion
long buried inside of her. Jacob Tanner is excited to be starting a new company
with his best friend. He wanted to go directly to Japan to get settled, but Tom
insisted that they spend time this summer with Tom’s mother. He had met Claire
once before while he and Tom were still in school together. When he sees her
again, he is surprised to find that he cannot take his eyes off of her. How had
he not realized how sexy Claire was? As desire flares up and passion is
unleashed, will they give in to their bodies’ demands or will they be able to
resist lovers’ sweet discovery?

Zeke’s Eden: Following Daddy’s rules has always been easy.
Smile. Nod. Repeat.
Until I met Zeke.
Dark. Dirty. Sinner.
A hungry beast, released from his cage.
And I’m on the menu.
Tonight, I’m Zeke’s Eden.
His sugar.
His whore.
Daddy’s little girl is all grown up…

Threepeat: Madison’s best friend, Lillian, is constantly
sharing the details of her perfectly life with husband, Adam, including her off
the charts sex life. It’s great, except that Madison has been harboring a
secret fantasy: she doesn’t just want to hear about the great sex that Lillian
and Adam are having, she wants to experience it for herself…with them.
One night after drinks, the three friends agree to a deal:
One night. The three of them. Together. And anything goes.
Will a night of heated passion be exactly what they all
need? Or will it go too far and destroy everything they have?
And more…

Blurb:

“Some secrets are meant to be kept forever. What no one ever tells you is that secrets hurt you and never the ones you lie to. They are your solitary hurt and shame. The people you withhold them from go on with their lives. They live. They fuck. They love. They are unharmed by your silence and the words you haven’t yet shared.” ~Chrissie Parker

“We have a perfect life together. Don’t let the past ruin it, Chrissie.” ~Neil Stanton

“We are the farthest thing from enemies, Chrissie. I will always love you.” ~Alan Manzone

Married to her gorgeous superstar husband, Neil, and living a picture-perfect life should have put the past to rest forever for Chrissie. But some mistakes you can’t escape from, the truth always comes out in time, and some loves refuse to go away.

As she starts the family she’s longed for and builds her own career as a singer-songwriter, Chrissie is confronted with more unexpected changes. Truths about her loving father, Jack. Neil’s shocking secret. Alan’s unrelenting love for her.

Caught in a web of lies, with everything she believes coming crashing down around her, will she fight to save her marriage to Neil or will she fight for the love of her life, Alan? And will Chrissie find her happy ending at last?

Author Bio:

Amazon top 100 Bestselling in Contemporary Romance/ Coming-of-Age/Historical Romance/Historical Romance Regency/ Erotica Humorous

I’m addicted to writing. I’ve written 35 romance novels in 26 years, but I just started releasing them in May 2014 because frankly there are some things inside them I wasn’t sure I wanted my daughters to read. The nest is empty, my girls all grown, so now I’m letting loose.

I believe in the adage; Don’t judge a book by its cover! Definitely the case with The Girl on the Half Shell. Perfect looking lives are not perfect. We all have our own challenges to overcome! It’s a theme in the books I’ve written and I cover a wide range of contemporary issues in stories ranging from raw and steamy, to gut wrenching, to happy happily ever after.

My first release The Girl on the Half Shell is my most intense novel, the first in the Half Shell Series and the one I had to wait until I had no kids at home to release.

My Perfect Forever Series is definitely happy happily ever after. The first in this line of books was released June 2014 with The Signature.

My current releases include: The Girl on the Half Shell; The Girl of Tokens & Tears; The Girl of Diamonds & Rust; The Signature; Rewind; One Last Kiss; One More Kiss; When the Perfect Comes; Face to Face; Love’s Patient Fury.

I’ve been in love with the Romance novel since I read my first Kathleen Woodiwiss book, and it seems to me that beyond a steamy fun read, a good romance novel is so much more: it is women empowering women. We share. We learn.

So about me? I’m as eclectic as my books. A mom. A grandmother. A business owner. A writer of romance. An advocate for clean air and the environment. A wife and an animal lover. The best way to explain me is that once in a talent contest I played classical piano followed by a chopsticks duet with my toes. That pretty much sums up how I’ve lived my life!
