Excerpt Reveal: Wild Card (Vegas Underground #8) by Renee Rose


“YOU’RE IN BIG TROUBLE, DOLL”

The little hacker stole from the Family--hundred fifty grand. 

We Tacones don’t take kindly to thieves.

Not even when they come in a package as cute as hers.

Not even after she shows me how high her freak flag flies.

Now there will be hell to pay for my sexy geek.

And I’m the one coming to collect.

But when she ends up in jail for the transaction I ordered her to make

I decide to bail her out. Because she’s a wildfire.

A force of nature too bright to be put out.

And I don’t need the money. 

I’d rather have her.
Why I write Mafia

If you're reading my newsletter, I guarantee you already know I'm kinked. I love a dominant hero who gets bossy, spanky and dirty. I like non-consent, at least at first. Abduction-seduction is my favorite trope. So writing mafia romance fits perfectly with that. And even as sweet as I can write an alpha male, I also freaking love dub-con.


"What if I cheat?"

His brows slam down. "Are you fucking kidding me?"

Clearly the wrong thing to ask.

But I want to know. He says he won't hurt me but he's a dangerous man. What happens if I cross a line? What are those lines?

"I won't—I don't either," I assure him quickly. I grab his arm. "I promise. It's just—"

"What?" He's still pissed. That shouldn't excite me. I am wired so wrong.

Because I'm tipsy, I lightly slap his chest. "You kidnapped me and threatened my brother's life! I just need to know what happens if I piss you off."

Anger ripples over Paolo's expression and he steps back and scrubs a hand over this face. Then he shakes his head. "No more of this," he says.

I shake my head. I'm already getting queasy. "You can't tell me no more."

Of course he can. He just did. And that's exactly the point I'm testing here. I'm with a dangerous, controlling man.

He throws his hands in the air in that distinctly Italian way. “What do you want from me?”

"What if I ran away?"

"You gonna run?"

"No, but what if I did? What’s the line?”

Exasperation dances over his face and he narrows his eyes, but I can tell he’s thinking about his answer. “Okay, where’s the line?” He catches my chin and lifts it to bring our faces close. “If it’s business, I’m gonna deal with you in a business-like fashion. You steal from the casino, you threaten my family, talk to the Feds, we’re done and the gloves come off. If it’s personal, I’m not a douche. You break my heart, there’s no retribution. That plain enough for you?”

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
