New Release: Shadows of the Past, a novel by H.M Ward and Stacey Mosteller

Are YOU dying to know which Ferro makes a cameo in H.M. Ward’s new book? The wait is over! SHADOWS OF THE PAST, a standalone novel by New York Times Bestselling Authors H.M. Ward and Stacey Mosteller, released today.

Cover_ShadowsofthePast_WebDescription:
BY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHORS HM WARD & STACEY MOSTELLER

I’ve been running for four years, trapped in a past I can’t forget. I’m unable to move forward and refuse to go back. The only way to dissolve the shadows is to begin again. So I try.

Tonight will be different, it has to be. Coaxed into a tight dress that’s guaranteed to hit the floor after I find the right guy, I head out. My flatmate takes me to this new London pub that looks more like the New York clubs I’m used to, but it works. I can find someone to ease the pain for a little bit, even if it’s only one night.

When Hot British Guy spots me, there’s an instant attraction. There’s something about him besides the dark hair and beautiful body. He’s pure eye-candy, but his sharp tongue and sad eyes make me wonder. Something happened to him, I can tell. He’s lived through Hell and showed up here tonight to forget. But I’m not supposed to ask. This is a one-time thing, a hot night filled with lust that erases everything.

I can do this. I’m tired of crying, of feeling numb. This out-of-character conquest feels weird, but I go with it–until he throws me out. Shocked, I leave and cement my former hypothesis–guys suck.

The next day, he’s there looking all sexy. Brilliant blue eyes blazing, his dark hair falls in his eyes and a wicked grin twists his perfect lips.

God help me.

Genre: New Adult Romance
Type: Novel (349 pgs/ stand alone)
With: Ferro Cameo

New Release: RISE OF THE OLYMPIANS 2, by Belle Ward

RISE OF THE OLYMPIANS 2, book 2 of 4 in the RISE OF THE OLYMPIANS series by the awesomely talented Belle Ward released today!

25006167 (1) Description:
“A swicked adventure that will leave you smiling and wanting more.” -HM Ward, New York Times Bestselling Author 

There are no minor gods. 

I thought things were strange already, but it got even weirder when golden, robotic women kidnapped us. They’re strong, swift, shiny, and made from pure 24 karat gold. These chicks could bench-press a dump truck. Things are looking less mythical by the moment. If this is all true, and I really am a Greek goddess, it means I have to figure out how to fight the biggest, baddest monster ever. Walking into an epic battle of the gods is not a priority, but it seems I don’t have a choice. Suckage.

I should have taken ninja classes, because I’m totally screwed.

Genre: MG/YA Paranormal Contemporary Greek Mythology Adventure 
Type: Novella, 1 of 4 
Length: Approx. 100 pgs ea.

“Never thought I would enjoy reading Greek Mythology, but this book proved me wrong!!” -Surgtech 

“I love Greek mythology and Belle has brought it into the present in a clever and riveting way. I got so caught up in it that I couldn’t put it down until the end.” -Amy

What readers are saying about LIFE BEFORE DAMAGED, VOLUME 3:

“I will admit it has taken me up to this point to like Gina. Mostly because I LOVE Sydney and I felt disloyal reading about Gina. But in this volume of Life Before Damaged I feel Gina has come out of her shell just a bit more and she seriously had me laughing and cheering her on…Peter is wonderful as ever, even as a “bad boy,” he is wonderful. Another wonderful installment in this series!”–Priscilla Kerr

“How can you not get addicted to this series!? We all know Dr. Peter Granz, from the Damaged books, but seeing how Pete Ferro was… HOT!! Bad boy filled with emotions and words of poetry that melt you right where you stand!” – Rose

“This volume is fantastic! You witness the struggles of a female that has been a puppet all her life and the struggles of a man labeled BAD. Put these two together and THAT is a bomb ready to explode! Excellent writing that includes passion, struggling, morals, values and you, feeling as if you are right there beside each character watching everything unfold…Thanks for the total body reaction, H.M.

LIFE BEFORE DAMAGED, VOLUME 2, by New York Times Bestselling Author H.M. Ward is out today!

Muscular body

Description:
BY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR HM WARD

Guilt ravages me, swallowing me whole. It steals my sleep and knots my stomach. I was the princess, the perfect Granz heiress, but no longer. That part of my life went up in flames, taking my future with it.

What remains is a shadow, a girl with no future and a terrible secret. There’s only one soul who knows the extent of my sins, and I can’t shake his beautiful face from my mind. The memories of being near him that night are charged. They linger, but going after Pete is like trying to catch smoke in my hand.

The pull toward this sexy man is unreal, and that’s what I keep telling myself—the Pete Ferro I saw that night doesn’t exist. There is no poet, no philosopher, no artist. He’s a player and I’m his newest toy.

Genre: New Adult Romance
