Her Irresistible Guardian by M.D. Dalrymple ~ @RABTBookTours #RABTBookTours #HerIrresistibleGuardian #MDDalrymple #MilitaryRomance

 

Men in Uniforms: Marines, Book 2 (can be read standalone)

 

Her Irresistible Guardian

by M.D. Dalrymple

Military Romance

Date Published 07-27-2023

Four years.

It's been four years since Olivia ghosted Dax as he departed for Marine Boot Camp.

Now a Lance Corporal, easy-going Dax "D" Cameron is shocked when the woman who left him with a shattered heart is standing before him.

 

The mix of fury and desire that bubble inside him rocks him to his core. Yet he's stationed stateside for the meantime, and if Olivia can explain herself well enough, it might help him finally get over her.


Which would be good, because his new training can't allow for any distractions. Let alone the buxom, golden, chestnut haired woman from his past. Any mess up or mistake can bring disaster for his entire squad.


When Olivia Hastings turns around to find Dax standing in front of her, she can't believe her eyes. It's the same Dax, only more muscular and his laid-back smile is wiped from his face. He seems larger somehow, and his presence after so long tears her words from her lips.


While she does owe him an explanation, he owes her one as well, because he bailed on her to join the Marines without even asking her what she thought about the idea or how it might affect their relationship. And now that she has a possessive ex dogging her heels, the last thing she needs is to have her emotions riled up by Dax's reappearance.


Because he's more irresistible now than he had been before he left.


Four years, however, wasn't enough time to extinguish the heat between them. And when they make their apologies, sparks fly even hotter than they had in the past.


But it turns out Olivia's ex is more than just an irritation -- he's dangerous. And when his jealously gets out of control, both Olivia and Dax are in his sights.


Can Dax and Olivia overcome their haunting past and her dangerous ex? Or will the challenges be too much for them to bear?

The Wolf’s Den

The Three Brothers Trilogy, Book One

 

Three brothers...three destinies...three chances to fail.

One country hangs in the balance.

Peacetime in Etria is no time to become a knight. War lies in the past and the future is for growing new things. Swords become plows and soldiers become farmers, artists, shop owners, and poets. Everyone knows that training for a war that may never come is a waste of time, but for the three grandsons of the greatest war hero in history, knighthood isn’t a choice; it’s destiny.

The three inseparable boys set off on three very different roads to knighthood. The eldest travels the straight path. The middle boy follows the crooked way of the rebel. The youngest...he follows the trail of legend.

When war returns all too soon, the boys will be tested. They will hold in their hands the lives of the most powerful and important people of all of Etria. If they fail, their country may fall into darkness and horror.

But these boys were born to be knights, to protect their king, land, and people no matter the cost to themselves. In the end, they will give their all, but will it be enough?

New Book Release & #Excerpt ~ The Demons of Montmartre by Laurence Raphael Brothers (Nora Simeon Investigations, Book 4) ~ @lbrothers @MirrorWorldPub #UrbanFantasy #UF


Mirror World Publishing and Sapphyria's Book Promotions present the 1-week virtual book tour for  The Demons of Montmartre by Laurence Raphael Brothers, book four in the Nora Simeon Investigations series.

About the Book:

Private Investigator Nora Simeon and her partner Eyre work for the Commission, the secret organization that regulates the summoning of demons in the financial industry. It’s the Commission’s job to suppress all public knowledge of sorcery. So when a mysterious letter from a person who calls themselves l’Invocateur threatens to expose the secret to the world, it’s Nora’s job to track him down.

In search of L’Invocateur, Nora and Eyre are off to Paris, but before they go, Madame Villiers, Nora’s mother and one of the Commission leaders in New York, reveals that Nora’s father may be in danger.

Nora has never known her father, a man named Simeon who disappeared when she was an infant. Spurred by her mother’s warning, Nora hunts both her father and l’Invocateur in France. From the elegant halls of the Société Générale to the altar of the Sacré-Cœur, Nora and Eyre find the threads of their search coming together in The Demons of Montmartre.

Follow the Tour:


Read an Excerpt:

Eyre and I stood on the taxiway in front of the hangar alongside the instructor, a tall black woman in her fifties wearing the school’s flight jacket. We’d made it to the little Republic Airport on Long Island just in time for Martha’s first solo flight. All three of us were craning our necks as we gazed up at the Cessna buzzing in the clear blue sky above our heads. Having performed a few circuits of the airfield, the small white propeller plane descended for its landing.

“Here she comes,” said the instructor.

The plane touched down on all three wheels simultaneously without even the faintest screech of tires, and after rolling a hundred yards turned off the runway to come to a stop on the tarmac.

“Exquisite,” she continued. “As expected. She’ll be done with the post-landing checklist soon.”

The plane resumed taxiing moments later, and after another minute cruised slowly past us into the hangar.

We followed the instructor inside where Martha was already getting out of the cockpit. My ward was dashing today in a black windbreaker over a button-up shirt with snug black faux-leather pants and elegant calf-high boots that looked like they might have been worn by Star Trek crew members. The jet-black hair she’d developed recently was styled in a pixie cut, and perhaps as a gesture to her original rat-person appearance she’d given herself just the slightest hint of an underbite jaw. She plucked off a pair of gold-tinted aviators and beamed at us for a moment before turning back to the plane.

The instructor stood back, holding us back too, while Martha clamped the plane down and checked the exterior for problems. When she was done, the instructor approached her with one hand extended and the other holding a set of shears. Smiling broadly, Martha shook hands, and then turned her back to reveal that the white dress shirt she was wearing had two tails dangling over her trousers; one was the end of the shirt, the other was a long, curling rat tail drawn on it with a sharpie below her name, Martha Villiers, the date, and the plane’s registration number. The instructor cut the length of cloth off with her shears, draped the cloth over one arm, and thrust the shears back into her belt, then waited for Martha to turn back around.

“Congratulations on soloing! I know how much this means to you,” said the instructor. “Next time, you’ll find your tail up on the wall beside the school’s other soloists. Just for the record, the whole flight was absolutely perfect, and your landing was superb.”

“Thank you,” said Martha, a bit unsteadily; I think she wanted to say something more, but her voice was so full of emotion she had to clamp down to avoid embarrassment. She handed over her logbook to be signed, and the instructor murmured a few words in her ear before departing, giving us a cheerful salute on her way out.

Martha was almost vibrating as she approached Eyre and me, as wired and happy as I’ve ever seen anyone in my whole life. I almost teared up to see it, but there was a certain shininess to her eyes that suggested that Martha might be feeling the same way. So instead of saying anything sappy and embarrassing us both, I just hugged her as tightly as I could for a long moment before passing her onto Eyre for the same treatment.

With all the guests at Sara and Sean’s wedding suspected of murder, her walk down the aisle will need to wait...

Everything is going perfectly on the big day until Sara opens the door of her bridal suite. Darlene Day, who made the wedding cake, falls into the room, a serving knife plunged into her back.

As the organists start to play “Here Comes the Bride,” Sara calls a pause to the proceedings. There’s a murder to solve, and the motive may be in the icing.

Darlene wasn’t the most loved person in the small town of Cotton Spring Falls, but rumor has it that she refused the offer of a big franchise to buy her bakery. Did they go so far as murder to put her out of business?

But when it’s discovered their wedding cake was poisoned, Sara and Sean could have been the intended victims all along. Did Darlene stumble upon the killer’s conspiracy and they silenced her before she could reveal their secret? Is it someone on the invitation list or the mysterious wedding crasher?

As long as the coffee is hot, and Sara has Sean and her beagle, Magnum, at her side, she isn’t going down in a heap of tulle and lace.

Wedding Bells Brew Murder is a closed-room mystery in the fashion of the great Agatha Christie that fans of Emma Davies, Verity Bright, and Helena Dixon will enjoy reading.
