She is desperate to have a baby, and willing to go it alone, she just needs help with the actual creating the baby part. Little does she know that the biker who has caught her eye is an alcoholic, drowning in his own demons, relapsing, and not in a position to meet her needs.

Much to her surprise, his answer is to hand her over to his MC brother, Nix, requesting him to show her a good time until he can sober up and recover. Penny goes along with the harebrained scheme, determined to get what she wants from the arrangement after all. But Penny doesn’t realize that Nix comes with baggage, too.

And Ash isn’t nicknamed the Dictator for nothing, he lays down the law and pushes them all to the edge of their limits and beyond.

She wasn’t bargaining on three men. They strike a deal. But when her secret is revealed and the stakes are raised, can their arrangement survive? She sees the true value of what they had bet with. But can they uphold the terms of their agreement when all hell breaks loose?

Excerpt

“Oh God, I didn’t order the extra large! Did I? Now I’m doubting myself…” Penny trailed off as the take-out pizzas were distributed around the room.

“Penny, this extra large, double loaded ham and mushroom has to be yours sweetie, everyone else has got theirs…” Rita rummaged in the box. “Oh and there’s a large milkshake here, too. Who ordered the milkshake?” Rita yelled out.

“Penny will have it.” Lyle’s voice came from the sofa opposite. Penny looked up and over at them. Ash was perched on the edge of the sofa, grinning at Penny. There was Nix, reclining back, legs loose and spread unnecessarily wide. Then Lyle, arm over the back of the sofa, over the back of Nix almost, hand on his thigh, looking like a king on his throne. They were watching Penny and smirking. All three of them. She almost shook her head to herself. Each man was so strong, and yet so fragile. Flawed and yet perfect at the same time. All together, a fighting pack without rival. No one could best them. Ash was clever, Nix was brave and strong, Lyle was wise. Each with their own demons and their own superpowers, too. Lyle was haunted by his PTSD from his past, he doubted himself, thought so little of himself. Nix had this burning rage that couldn’t be extinguished, rage at his upbringing, rage at himself. And Ash, so confident and self assured on the surface, yet so afraid of being left alone and abandoned. And her, what did she bring, what were her demons and superpowers? Either way, it worked. They melded and meshed together, it was getting harder to see where one person ended and the other began.

They’d set her up with this pizza order, ordering far too much. She huffed and rolled her eyes. Lyle winked, Nix blew her a pouty kiss and Ash bit his lip. Oh those boys were such trouble.

Despite herself, Penny smiled. “Fine, great, I’ve already gained a few pounds, why not just let myself go completely?” she joked, setting the pizza down on her lap as she bounced onto the sofa between April and Sophie.

She’d been a regular at the MC for the last few weeks now. And they’d all been in Lyle’s bed. Every night. It helped with his night terrors. Generally, they had sex late and so Lyle was too tired or not in the right sleep cycle to have them. Or, she often woke up when he was beginning to get one. He’d start mumbling, he’d be burning hot to the touch, his heart racing. Either she or one of the guys would wake up, too, and try to soothe Lyle back to a calm state. So far, it had worked. She felt safe, too, knowing Ash and Nix were there. She knew Lyle would never mean to harm her, but a wayward fist of his could send her flying. He was still drinking. There was always a bottle of some liquor or other under his sink cabinet. He topped up the beer bottles he was allowed to drink with something. Ash and Nix had seen him do it now, too. But they tried to start the evening’s frivolities early so Lyle wouldn’t have time to drink it all before he passed out, worn out from sex rather than from the liquor.

Her tight top rode up a little as she sat, exposing an inch or two of her midriff. She tugged it down but in doing so, she practically exposed her boobs from the neckline of her top.

Lyle flashed her a smile and a wink. “That’s the deal, Penny, baby.”

She smiled back and took a slurp on the milkshake.

She didn’t waver when she looked him in the eye. She was all in. She was playing for keeps.

And now that darkness owns me.

Until she came back, and all I have are regrets.

Stubborn, she throws my family’s protection back in our faces. Now word is out, and she’s become a target for more than one reason.

Our enemies are conspiring against us, and a war is brewing. I can’t let her get caught in the crossfire. We need to be able to trust each other, yet we both have secrets that threaten to destroy us.

I’ll find a way. Because I. Never. Give. Up.

Some might see me as heartless…

Because at work, I am cold, calculating, ruthless, and I demand nothing but the best.

No exceptions.

But when in fact—I’m craving the woman I can’t have.

We all know there are rules that can’t be broken.

I made the mistake of wronging my business partner, Nash, once before. I won’t do it again, not if I want to keep my position by his side in this company.

But my eyes are firmly set on his PA.

Zoey Zavorelli—the sassy, single mother. Sexy. Methodical. Alluring.

Far too tempting.

There’s only one problem—no office romance.

Nash’s rules are strict.

But an opportunity presents itself when Zoey’s ex tells her he’s getting married, and I can’t help myself.

I tell him we’re dating, and now we have to pretend to be in a relationship for the next two weeks until his wedding.

Will this be exactly what we need, or will it cause our fateful hearts to break?

Fateful Hearts is a Fake Dating/Marriage Billionaire Romance.

There is steam, angst, and the villain you will want to throw things at repeatedly. But hold on to your hats because you’ll fall in love with this cinnamon roll alpha, and how he treats Zoey’s seven-year-old daughter will melt your heart.

Immerse yourself in the world of the New Orleans billionaire lifestyle and fall in love with an alpha. HEA guaranteed.

👑 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐢: 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐌𝐚𝐟𝐢𝐚 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 (𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐒𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟒) by Bella J is LIVE! @BellaJ_Author

Title: Nicoli
Series: Dark Sovereign Series Book 4
Author: Bella J.
Genre: Dark Romance/Mafia Romance
Release Date: April 12, 2023
Cover Design: Deranged Doctor Designs




“This book will have you hooked from word one, get ready for one of the hottest reads of the year!” ★★★★★ caffe.and.books
“Just when I thought the Dark Sovereign series couldn’t get any better Bella, you obliterated that notion in spades. Nicoli and Mirabella CONSUMED me with their EXPLOSIVE and ELECTRIFYING story.” ★★★★★ Donna V.


I’ve never had a life.
I’m not talking about the freedom money can buy because I have that in spades.
I’m talking about the freedom a girl gets from growing up with four overprotective Del Rossa men…which is zero.

Zero freedom to have a social life. Zero freedom to date.
No guy dares to glance my way. I’m Dark Sovereign property in this town, and everyone knows you don’t touch what belongs to the Del Rossas.

Fifteen years ago, I was a lost little orphan. The Del Rossa family took me in, cared and raised me like I was their own. But not him.

Not Nicoli.

He’s always treated me differently. Like I don’t belong in their world. Like I’m this temporary thing they shouldn’t get attached to.

Maybe I should be thankful that he ignores me most of the time.
But for some stupid reason…I’m not.

Whenever he looks my way, I can’t seem to breathe right.
When he’s close, I’m a mess on two feet.

But Nicoli has made it crystal clear that the girl he grew up with is a hard limit for him. I’m the one woman he’ll never touch…

…not even if I beg him to.

EXCERPT

LAIKYN POV

“Here.” Tyson offers me the second glass of whiskey and I look from it to him, making no attempt to accept it.

“I didn’t drug it,” he growls.

“I don’t believe you.” I lift my chin.

He rolls his eyes and throws the one he’s offering me back, proving that it was, in fact, not laced with something. Setting both down on the tray, he walks over to me, closing the distance and I stiffen.

“Why would I drug you?”

I swallow nervously but answer honestly.

“Makes me compliant. Easier to take advantage of.”

Reaching up, he runs his hand through what’s left of my bun, pulling bobby pins loose and letting them drop to the floor at our feet. The long, wet curls fall down across my bare back and over my shoulder, some falling in front to frame my face.

“That would be too easy.” He finally speaks, his knuckles brushing it off my shoulder.

“I want you to feel me holding you down. I want you to hear yourself gasping for breath when I force you to come. And I want your eyes on mine while I make you cry. I’ll never drug you, Lake, because I don’t need you compliant. You’re now my wife, and I can take whatever I want from you.”

BLURB:

HIS LADY

A Lord is to marry after he graduates from Barrington University, an elite college for the rich. A Lady’s job is to help him fit into a world unaware of his secret society. The Lord does not get to choose who he spends the rest of his life with. But there is always an exception to the rule. And I just so happen to be his.

I VOW.

YOU VOW.

WE VOW.

I was to wed a Lord of my parents’ choosing. Wealth can’t buy you everything, or I would have had freedom years ago. Instead, my strict parents made sure I lived a dull life in a mansion resembling a prison.But on my wedding day, I was handed over to another man—an even more ruthless Lord that my family hated. Tyson Riley Crawford only wanted me for his revenge. I’m nothing more than a debt to be paid. I didn’t have a say in the matter. So when I said my vows before the congregation, I knew I’d break them. Consequences be damned.Too bad I underestimated my husband and didn’t realize he was more determined to punish me than I was to succeed at escaping. He’ll make me choke on those words I used to bind myself to him.Yet even he couldn’t have seen what our future held. Ultimately, we’re all just pawns in a game that none of us can win unless you’re willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice … and even that may not be enough.

AUTHOR BIO


Author J.L. Drake was born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada, later moving to Southern California where she lives with her husband and two children. 

When she’s not writing she loves to spend time with her family, traveling or just enjoying a night at home. One thing you might notice in her books is her love for the four seasons. Growing up on the east coast of Canada the change in the seasons is in her blood and is often mentioned in her writing. 

An avid reader of James Patterson, J.L. Drake has often found herself inspired by his many stories of mystery and intrigue.

She hopes you will enjoy her stories as much as she has enjoyed writing them.
