Cover Reveal: Merrily In Love by Melissa West @MB_West @SDSXXTours
MERRILY IN LOVE
by Melissa
West
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Pub
Date: 11/7/2017
The Littleton brothers are as much a
part of Crestler’s Key as the sun and surf, living the single life
without a care. But love has a way of changing even the most
determined bachelor’s mind.
Brady Littleton has left his reckless youth
behind to become a man his brothers can count on. When the family
dive shop needs to expand, he’s got the answer: buy the Christmas
shop next door. Except the retiring owner’s goddaughter, Kylie
Waters, has come back to town. She was Brady’s first kiss—his
first everything—and she doesn’t want to sell. He’s got a
solution to that too. Whoever makes the most sales by Christmas Day
can take over the shop, fair and square.
Kylie resolved to put the youngest, wildest
Littleton brother out of her head when he abruptly ended their
relationship years ago. But the steady, gorgeous man he’s become is
impossible to ignore. Especially once reminiscing leads to a kiss as
hot and heady as mulled wine. Their deal means that one of them is
going to lose out on a dream…unless Christmas Day brings the gift
of a sweet, surprising second chance.

Blurb Blitz + #Giveaway: Lyrical Press Contemporary Romances @MB_West @GoddessFish
Fighting Love: The Littleton Brothers #1
by Melissa
West
GENRE: Contemporary
Romance
BLURB:
Fighting Love
Single dad Zac
Littleton has always tried to make lemonade from life’s lemons, and striking a
bargain with Sophie Marsh is no different. A relative newcomer to town, she
needs his help convincing the locals to try her Fresh Foods Organics
produce—and Zac needs to satisfy his preteen daughter’s pleas to get out and
have fun. Fake-dating Sophie will kill two birds with one stone, at least for a
while—unless he gets addicted to the sweet pleasure of his beautiful
competitor’s company…
Sophie can’t stand
Zac. Or maybe she simply can’t stand Littleton Farms beating her in sales every
week. It’s true that pretending interest in Zac and his sculpted biceps and
devilish smile is a lot easier than she expected, and much more tempting, too.
But despite their all-natural attraction, Sophie’s past has left her wary of
any man—even one as charming as Zac. Besides, he’s got trust issues of his own.
If anything real can blossom between them, it’s going to take a whole lot of
patience, persistence…and passion.
EXCERPT:
Grabbing the phone book that was
still delivered to her door every three months, despite the fact that nobody
needed a phone book anymore or even looked at one, she flipped through the
names until she found the one she was looking for. She dialed the number before
she could chicken out.
The phone rang three, then four
times, and it was then that Sophie realized the time and that maybe they were
both sleeping and she was going to ruin the little girl’s day tomorrow and
maybe she had a test and now she would fail and it would all be Sophie’s—
“Hello?”
“Oh my God.”
“Well, actually, most people call me
Zac. Or ‘Hey, dude.’ But sure, you can go with God.”
“I wasn’t calling you God.”
“But you were calling me.”
Sophie stomped her foot and cursed
to herself, except she must not have kept it to herself, because the next thing
she knew, Zac was laughing. Loudly. A full-body kind of laugh, the kind that
rumbled from deep within a person.
“What?”
“You call me, and then you get mad
because I called you out on calling me? What sense does that make? Ah, right.
About as much sense as you thinking you were going to win that bet today.”
“I can’t stand you.”
“Man, not many people admit to
hating God, but whatever works for you, honey.”
“I didn’t call you God.”
“Sure you didn’t.”
“Oh my God!”
“See.”
“I’m hanging up now.”
“All right, but you won’t have any
resolution to whatever made you call if you hang up.”
Sophie’s temper boiled over, her
fingers and toes and stomach all tensed for a fight. She’d never met a man who
behaved as arrogantly as Zac, and suddenly she regretted every positive thought
she’d ever
had about him.
“I called to ask how you cheated.”
“Wait, wait, wait.” He chuckled
softly, the sound so delicious she almost sighed—before yelling at herself to
pull it together. Once again, she wished Zac had some horrible habit that would
make her less attracted to him. Maybe he smoked. No, no way did he smoke. Not
with super white teeth like his. She’d have to find something to secure this
hate before it turned into something really dangerous.
Like a crush.

Sixteen-year-old alien Val Stone was born for one mission-kill teenage Randolf "Rolf" Cartier before he fulfills the prophecy, becomes the future American president, and murderers thousands of her kind.
Val is ready to sacrifice herself for the good of the prophecy. She's learned every detail of Rolf's life. She knows when he wakes, each step he takes throughout his day, and the exact time when he falls asleep. She's prepared to strike.
But what she doesn't know is that Rolf's been watching her, too. Waiting for her. Ready to overpower her and save himself. Only when the day arrives, doubt overcomes purpose, and suddenly they discover the prophecy was all a hoax.

Summary from Goodreads:
Military legacy Ari Alexander has survived alien spies, WWIV, and a changing world order. But when the new leader of Earth uses Jackson-the only boy she's ever let herself care about-to get to her, Ari has no choice but to surrender.
To free Jackson, she agrees to travel to the national bases to train others to fight. What she discovers is a land riddled with dying people. Ari has the power to heal by turning the fighters into aliens-half-breeds like her. If she succeeds, together, they have a chance at overthrowing the alien leader, Zeus. But if she fails, everyone she holds dear will be wiped away forever.
Once again, everything Ari's come to believe is thrown into question. In a world of uncertainty, loyalties are tested, lies are uncovered, and no one can be trusted. If Ari and Jackson have any hope at survival and at preserving a life for the future, they must fight the final war with their eyes wide open.

Enjoy an excerpt from Collide:
I walk down the dirt road and stare off into the distance, my mind on the impending war, when my eye catches on something beside the road. A half mile away, but absolutely there. I edge closer, another step, then another, my heartbeat picking up. The wind slowly slips around me, throwing my hair in my face as I strain to see.
The figure moves toward me, and I toward it, then I see long white hair whip in the wind and suddenly my blood stops pumping, my legs stop moving, my lungs stop drawing breath. But still, he continues to move. I scramble back, falling, digging into the dirt, desperate to get away. I have no weapon, nothing. I'm not prepared. I can't fight him. Not here. Not now. And then in a blink of the eye, he's in front of me and every muscle in my body quakes with fear. A slow smile creeps across Zeus's face, and then one word is placed in my mind as though it were my thought instead of his.
Soon.
"Ah!" I gasp for a breath that won't come and scramble up, only to find myself tangled in blankets. I fight against them, just as Jackson pulls me against him. "Jackson?" I blink hard, momentarily disoriented. "How did I get back here? Where is he? Did you see him?"
I try to stand, but Jackson forces me to sit still. "Ari, it was just a dream. You had a dream."
"No. You weren't in here. I was alone and then I went outside and-"
"You didn't. I came in shortly after we all went to bed. I couldn't sleep without you. And I'm sorry about earlier."
My mind reels, unable to stop. "Wait, no, you weren't here, and I left. I went outside. I-"
"Why don't I get you some water? Stay here, okay? I'll be right back."
He steps outside the makeshift curtain, and I sit back in my bed, my hands shaking. I clench them together in hopes of steadying them, and that's when my gaze lands on my fingers, on the thick red mud caked underneath each nail. I hold them out in front of me, fighting to keep a sob from escaping my lips.
It wasn't a dream. Zeus is here.
