Book excerpt: Today is no ordinary day for thirty-eight-year-old Lanita Lightfoot. Today represents the culmination of years of struggle and sacrifice. Today she graduates from college. But first, Lanita’s husband treats her to a day of beauty at an upscale black salon in Los Angeles, during which she shares her story with the staff and the other customers–and what a story it is. . . Talk about an entrance. Lanita was born in a little corner store in the thick of the Watts riots. Her untimely entry into the world saved the joint from being sacked by looters–and the shop owner showed his gratitude by giving Lanita’s mother, Aretha, a decade of rent-free residence. But when the reward dries up and Aretha takes to the bottle and a no-good loser boyfriend, Lanita’s life takes a sharp turn for the worse. Forced to live in a cramped, dingy apartment, Lanita longs for her real daddy to ride to the rescue. But when he finally shows up, she finds he isn’t quite the knight she’s dreamed of. Still, Lanita is determined to make something of herself. A straight-A student throughout high school, she is accepted to Howard University in Washington, D.C., and marvels that she’s finally escaped the ghetto. As Lanita embarks on the journey of becoming a woman, she encounters icons including Michael Jackson and Todd Bridges, who help transform her perception of her own life. But one year short of graduation, she must return to Los Angeles to care for the ailing Aretha–an unpleasant reality that leads her to join in a sordid West Hollywood strip club and farther away from her dreams–until the fateful night her high school heart throb shows up at the club and shows her that the easy money she makes comes with a high price. The bestselling author of The Night Before Thirty, Tajuana “TJ” Butler delivers one of her most richly imagined, complex, and beloved characters yet–and delves into the void that many young women spend their lifetime trying to fill: the one left by a father’s absence.

Book excerpt: Note: Last Chance To Run is the story that inspired the Slye Team Black Ops series and was originally a RITA Winner as Worth Every Risk. "I could not put this book down...Once again Dianna has thrilled my suspense taste buds with an extra dash of spicy romance."~~ After Hours Rendezvous On the run from a madman, she can’t trust anyone, but the hot pilot with too many secrets has her heart pounding out of control. Escaping the compound of a deadly international felon with his fortune in rare, stolen coins hidden on her body, elite athlete Angel Farentino must make the most important run of her life. With a prior undeserved drug-muling conviction hanging over her head, she can trust no one, definitely not law enforcement who railroaded her through a judicial nightmare. One step ahead of lethal men and dogs on her trail, she runs into the arms of a dark stranger willing to help her if she’d let him. But that would only get the sexy pilot killed. To an undercover agent, the pretty mystery named Angel is a Person of Interest. Zane Jackson’s interested. Between figuring out who sabotaging his undercover work for the DEA and trying to save his baby sister from herself, Zane has enough on his plate. The last thing he needs is to get entangled with a woman who’s treading on the wrong side of the law. But when the long-legged distraction races into the middle of his operation and stows away on his plane, a primal need to protect her forces Zane to risk everything, starting with his heart. "Engrossing, thrilling and wonderfully steamy ... to the last shocking revelation." ~~The Romance Reviews "... cleverly builds suspense until the nerve-racking conclusion." ~~SingleTitles.com "...a no-holds-barred read. The action sizzles! At times the suspense will have you biting your nails, sitting on the edge of your seat or holding your breath." ~~Goodreads

Book excerpt: In this sci-fi adventure, the beloved author of Dragon Ops takes readers on a thrilling and heart-pounding journey through a high-stakes video game world. Now safely back at home, Ian and Lilli are free to return to normal life. Except there's a major problem: Ian keeps seeing the big bad boss dragon Atreus everywhere, and he can't tell whether it's real or in his imagination. So the internet is no longer an option. That's right. Ian, king of online gaming, is out on the soccer court instead. When Atreus shows up . . . everywhere, he knows he needs his sister. But he's legally obligated to never say Dra-er, the name of the game, so how is he supposed to ask for help? When Ian and Lilli finally sign back online, it's clear that Atreus has truly been released on the open web—and even worse, Ikumi has been kidnapped and imprisoned in a video game. It's back into virtual reality, but this time it's to Mech Ops, a futuristic world of zombies and evil robots—and the game's not even finished. Will Ian and Lilli have what it takes to jump through unfinished levels undetected? Or will they get booted . . . and even worse, are there do-overs in VR that isn't even built yet?

Set on a once-deserted island, our three beta players—classic gamer geek Ian; his adventure-seeking sister, Lily; and their too-cool-for-gaming cousin, Derek—have been lucky enough to score an invite to play before the fully immersive experience opens to the public. But once inside, they find themselves trapped in a game taken over by a rogue AI dragon called Atreus, and suddenly the stakes go beyond the virtual world. With no cheat codes, guidebooks, save points, or do-overs, they'll need all their cunning and video-game hacks to beat the game . . . and survive in real life. Action-packed and unputdownable, Dragon Ops will thrill gamers and reluctant readers alike with high-tech adventure and electrifying twists and turns.

What do you do when you’re in way over your head? That’s the position I found myself in after agreeing to attend a party as my twin sister. She's a bestselling author. Emily can’t do public appearances to save her life due to panic attacks. I was supposed to only do ONE appearance as her to help save the failing publishing house she works for. I kind of hooked up with a gorgeous author while I was there. His name is Max. I know! Bad idea since I’m not Emily! But I couldn’t deny the sizzling connection between us. Fans loved our chemistry and have been clamoring for more of us. Book sales are soaring and now the publisher has the perfect publicity stunt to help save the company. They want us to pretend like we’re a hot couple. I’m digging myself deeper and deeper into this hole. I need to come clean and tell everyone I’m not Emily. But when I look into Max’s eyes…I just can’t bring myself to do it.
