I am no longer the stray he picked up off the street. I amโฆHis Wife.
Alexius Del Rossa made me an offer I couldnโt refuse.
A temporary arrangement. One that would benefit us both.
Be his wife for six months so he can solidify his legacy, and I walk away with the security of having the Del Rossa name.
Now I realize that itโs no longer that simpleโnot while his every command bends my will and entices me to obey.
Weโve become each otherโs poisonโa toxic mix of his wicked touch and my dark desires.
By day Iโm the woman who walks by his side, and by night Iโm the toy who kneels at his feet.
Heโs given me a taste of how it feels to indulge without limits, a glimpse of what life would be like as the queen of his empire.
But I canโt ignore the warnings. The subtle stir of whispers that nothing is as it seems.
Even though Alexius helped me conquer my demons onceโฆIโm afraid my husband might just be the real monster I should fear.
โ โ โ โ โ Alexius Review from TDC Book Reviews – โThis was a highly entertainingand addicting story that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.โ
โ โ โ โ โ Alexius Review from caffe.and.books – โIntense, wicked and suspenseful goodness, I couldnโt read it fast enough yet I didnโt want it to end.โ
Let’s see…where to begin… I’m inching up on the BIG 4-0. The gray hairs are doubling what seems like daily, and the wrinkles and laugh lines are more pronounced than ever. I have an amazing husband (Married just over 15 years.) We have two boys we’re doing our best to raise as respectful gentleman. I have a master’s degree in criminal justice which I used to work as a juvenile probation office until deciding to write full-time in June of 2019. So that means there’s usually always some criminal/law element to my novels. If I’m not writing; I’m reading. My favorite genres recently are bully/reverse harem and enemies to lovers. Maybe I’m reliving my traumatic teen years through the girls who actually end up with the boys. (Not that I would change my history since it’s gotten me exactly where I need to be!) I love coffee. I miss carbs. Music is LIFE. I try not to be too serious.

Copyright 2022 Michelle DaytonOne Year AgoThe painting was so ludicrous that I chewed the inside of my top lipโhard enough that the next sip of gin was going to sting. But if I didnโt control my mouth, it was going to shape itself into a judgy, bitchy smirk at our poor hostessโs expense.The painting was of a womanโs back, butt, and legs as she lounged on a blue velvet settee. It didnโt reveal any part of the subjectโs face. But it was clearly supposed to be Selma. Selma was a big fan of strapless gowns and asymmetrical shirts. The triangle of small moles on her left shoulder blade was as familiar to me as the shade of dark pink lipstick always highlighting her formidable lips. The woman in the painting sported an identical isosceles mole triangle, as well as a spill of hair in a variety of blonde shades ranging from honey to platinum. Iโd once heard Selma boast that it took three colorists four hours every six weeks to keep her signature blend of hair colors perfect.I cocked my head as my eyes traveled to the problematic part of the woman in the painting. She may have had Selmaโs geometric moles and she may have had Selmaโs intricate hair. The ass, howeverโฆโDo you think this painting is a prophecy?โ A question spoken so low that only I could hear.I snapped my gaze away from the paintingโs exquisite ass and looked up in surprise at the man suddenly next to me. โHuh?โ I didnโt recognize him, but that wasnโt surprising as Iโd only been back in the Bay Area for a couple of weeks.I would have remembered him if Iโd seen him before. He was one of those unmistakable people. (Us generic-looking people often resent his kind.) He was probably mid-thirties, over six feet tall with thick, golden hair, grown at a shaggy length that would look stupid on most men, but it decidedly did not look stupid on him. He was tan like heโd just come back from a beach vacation, and he had deep smile lines around his eyes and mouth. They were crinkled now around his bright blue eyes.My own were crinkled too, not with mirth but with confusion. โA prophecy?โโA prophecy is a prediction, a forecast,โ he began, eyes twinkling. Was he teasing or mansplaining?โYes, I know what a prophecy is,โ I said. Snapped, really. Iโd been around at enough of these nights to be familiar with the typical male attendees. The men near my age usually fell into particular categories: boastful start-up tech founders, schmoozy sales and marketing execs, and lots of โI know everythingโ lawyers. Most of them treated these nights like networking events or auditions for a TED Talk instead of parties.Iโd been so dreading my possible seating partners for dinner that Iโd snuck into the dining room to see the place cards when we first arrived. Thank God I was seated next to my father.โExcellent.โ He waved his negroni toward the painted naked lady. โSo I was just wondering if this painting is a heads-up from our hostess about certain impending changes.โOh. The mischief in his voice made my lips twitch. Heโd been teasing, then. This wasnโt some stuffy ibanker or insufferable crypto bro. Inexplicably, this was someone fun.I raised an eyebrow at him and spoke softly. โMeaning, Selma wants everyone to know that sheโll soon be getting butt implants?โHe grinned down at me, almost with relief, as though heโd been hoping to find someone snarky. โPerhaps the buttock augmentation is already complete.โ He pointed directly below the painting. I hadnโt noticed the blue velvet settee against the wall, an identical twin to the one in the portrait. โPerhaps sheโll settle herself right there later and let us compare art to reality.โIt was just too perfect of an image: ludicrous, of course, but if Selma had one too many negronis, you could almost see it happening. Oh God, please let that happen. Iโd suffer through twelve boring dinner parties if Selma would cross that bizarre, hilarious line.A significant snort-laugh erupted from my nose before I could stop it. โSorry,โ I gasped.His answering laugh was deep and delighted. โDonโt be. I love it when people snort when they laugh. Itโs literally one of my favorite things in life.โ Well, I loved when people got tears in their eyes at the smallest of chuckles, and right now, there was a sheen of moisture covering his.โI donโt know you, and I usually know everyone at these things,โ he said, like an invitation.Sigh. Now I would introduce myself, and he would get that look in his eye when he realized who my father was.I opened my mouth, but to my surprise, he cut me off. โSo I asked four different people here who you were and what youโre like.โMy mouth closed abruptly. Why would he do that? Also, I could guess what the four people had said, and they were all sure to be wrong. I swallowed a sigh. โOh?โ This encounter had started so fun. Now I wondered how soon I could excuse myself.He took a slow sip. โYouโre Sven Saturnโs daughter.โ Yep. For the entirety of my life, that would be the firstโand sometimes the onlyโthing most people cared about. โYouโre intensely smart and have some sort of big, important job.โ OK, he totally embellished that point. Iโm sure whoever he talked to actually just used the word workaholic. To be fair, that was also correct. Work was my place, my cathedral, my sports arena. Work was home.He cocked his head. โAnd youโre very quiet and sweet.โOf course thatโs what they said. Quiet was correct; sweet was not. But when youโre a little shy with a heart-shaped face and round eyes, people always make the leap to sweet. In actuality, Resting Bitch Face would have suited my internal personality much better. Iโm sure people were trying to be kind, but why is sweet a good thing to call someone? In our hyperaggressive, competitive world, who the hell wanted to be sweet?To the man beside me, I ducked my chin. โWell, that was nice of them.โ Where was the tray of negronis? Maybe Iโd survive this night with a nice little buzz. Or maybe I could put on headphones and go into another room on the pretense of taking a call. I had Netflix on my phone.His blue eyes were so bright. โItโs bullshit though, right?โHis gaze and forthright tone gave me a buzz that had nothing to do with gin. He tapped his temple. โThereโs a lot going on in there, but Iโm guessing that very little of it is sweet.โCorrect. Either he was extremely astute orโฆ โIs this your schtick?โ I retorted. โFind the quiet girl in the room and make her feel like sheโs some sort of secret badass that only you can see?โHe laughed. Hard. A surprised, loud, genuinely elated laugh. I did that, I thought proudly.โWho are you?โ he asked, and suddenly his blue eyes wereโฆintense.The direct stare right at me, the timbre of his voice, the way he drew a microinch closer. My skin went warm from head to toe and my pulse went thud, Thud, THUD.I swallowed, and his gaze went to my throat and back to my eyes. He leaned even closer, then apparently realized that was not dinner-party-appropriate, so he backed up so quickly he banged into someone behind him. A slight flush crawled up his jaw as he recovered, but his embarrassment didnโt make him look away or change the intensity of his expression.Did I do that to him? I wasnโt the kind of woman that made men clumsy, but I could sense it. He felt the thud, Thud, THUDDING too.โIโm Emily,โ I managed, remembering to offer a hand.His warm hand took hold of mine, not like a greeting shake, but as if he intended to keep it.

Michelle dreams of a year of world travel โ as long as the trip would include weeks and weeks of beach time.

From USA Today bestselling author Nikki Landis comes a new standalone MC romance and the first book in the Devilโs Murder MC series.
Crow, son of the former president of the Devilโs Murder MC, is determined to avenge his fatherโs death and repair the broken club left behind. Bad blood, bitter memories, and a territory feud decades in the making threaten to tear apart everything his father built. He might have left town to escape his past, but now thereโs no choice. Heโs determined to return and take his place among his brothers, even if they donโt want his leadership.
He didnโt forget what it means to live by the cut. The brotherhood is all he knows. Itโs all he cares about since learning of his fatherโs murder: that and revenge.
Crow has a hell of a lot to prove, and it canโt come at a worse time. Stopping at a bar on the way back to reclaim his position in the club, he encounters a pretty petite redhead in a whole heap of trouble. His protective instincts kick in, and now heโs got more problems than he can handle.
Crow canโt resist helping out a woman in need, but this spitfire is way more trouble than he anticipates. Bellaโs searching for her missing sister and desperate for help, even if that means bargaining with a dangerous biker. For reasons Crow canโt quite figure out, she makes him feel like a goddamn hero, like a man who can live inside the law instead of out of it.
Now thereโs a rival club on their heels and innocent lives on the line. Taking her back to the clubhouse for protection sparks a whole shitstorm Crow doesnโt need. Bella insists heโs the only hope for finding her sister, and time is running out.
Nobody messes with this feisty redhead. And nobody threatens the Devilโs Murder because the club protects their own. Whatever the cost. Thereโs a reason the club is called a murder, and their bikes ride on the dark wings of circling crows. Itโs an omen of impending death. No enemy can outrun the Devilโs Murder.
CROW is a full-length, standalone bad boy romance. Youโll love this heart-pounding first book in the Devilโs Murder MC featuring take-charge bikers who adore and fiercely protect their women. CROW has no cheating, no cliffhanger, plenty of heat, and a guaranteed HEA along with a slight paranormal twist.
