Lying Eyes
by Liza James
Release date: January 10th
Publisher: Red Rose Publishing

Melissa Gibson is devastated when she receives emailed pictures of her husband having sex with another woman - from the other woman! Tony swears he has no memory of it as it happened at his bachelor party, but Melissa kicks him out and tells him their short marriage is over. Enter the hunky neighbor, Ryan, who's wanted Melissa since the moment he met her. He consoles her over a few drinks, and Melissa asks Ryan to take her upstairs for a little revenge sex.

Only Tony returns and catches them in the act...with some very surprising news of his own.



Game On
by Liza James
a Scarlet Rosette from The Wild Rose Press
released January 18th in ebook form.

Desperate for her husband's attention - particularly in the bedroom - Bree Winters purposely drops her wedding band down the sink in hopes of luring Shane upstairs for the seduction of his life. Only the Superbowl is on, which proves to be a bigger draw than her charms. Frustrated, she half-heartedly threatens to call their handsome neighbor - who happens to be a plumber - and reward him with sexual favors in exchange for retrieving her ring.

Shane knows his and Bree's sex life has become boring and predictable, and it scares the hell out of him - especially since they've only been married a couple of years. But he's overworked and tired as hell, and all he wants to do is watch the Superbowl. When Bree threatens to entice the neighbor over with promises of sexual favors, Shane discovers the thought of watching his wife with another man is a surprising turn-on. And maybe just what they need to jump start their stalled sex life. The big game suddenly holds no interest, because in the master bath, it's GAME ON.

Kol Hildr had spent the last century battling hellhounds and warlocks who sought to usurp his portal's magic. A mighty shape-shifter with the ability to change into wolf form, Kol made accessing the powerful gateway nearly impossible–unless you were a witch of Kelly Shane's talents. She had a score to settle and would do anything to close the portal that led to her unearthly prison. Though an alliance with her compromised Kol's purpose, something about the little witch overwhelmed his fierce, battle-worn soul. But when he learned Kelly's life might be in jeopardy, could Kol put aside the one thing he thought he valued most–the portal–to journey to the other side and rescue her?

Only problem is, she’s just got out of a bad relationship and isn’t exactly eager to jump on the commitment bandwagon.

For mountain climber turned sportscaster Payton Reese life is a series of summits to be conquered. And women? He?s never met one who could make settling down sound like anything but settling for less. That is, until he meets Rachel Murphy.

Rachel has always put family first. Well, family and work. As a female engine specialist, she has a lot to prove and no time for romance. Besides, having been orphaned at a young age, she?s had enough abandonment to last a lifetime.

When Payton finds himself strangely captivated by this beauty in coveralls, he wants to teach her a thing or two about living life on the edge. But how can he be what she really needs without changing his course?
