Twenty-five-year-old Ellie Brewer’s abandonment by her father has been a source of sadness throughout her life, and when he rejects her appeal for help as an adult she is hurt all over again. Feeling lost and hopeless, she volunteers for a paid study being conducted by Professor William Ashworth on the topic of young women who lack a strong father figure in their lives.William’s interest in this particular subject is not merely academic, and he is instantly intrigued by Ellie. He has always hoped to one day find a woman who would benefit from being nurtured and dominated by a loving daddy, and from the moment she steps into his office it is obvious that she is in desperate need of exactly the kind of attention and affection he would offer, not to mention the firm but loving correction he would apply to her bare bottom as often as necessary.Ellie is shocked when she learns the details of William’s planned research, but with her attempts to hold down a job going awry one after another, she is ultimately left with little choice but to accept the arrangement the handsome professor proposes. He will take on the role of her daddy for the duration of his research, and over that time she will live with him as his ward, subject to his rules and the consequences of breaking those rules. William quickly proves more than ready to take his ward over his knee and spank her bare bottom whenever she misbehaves, but Ellie soon discovers that her new daddy’s strict discipline makes her feel safe and loved in a way nothing else ever has. Before long she finds herself aching for William to claim her completely, but can she really trust that he will always be there for her, or will their relationship be torn apart by her daddy issues?Publisher’s Note: Daddy Issues is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes, age play, and more.

Shiver, the first novel in the paranormal romance series Night Moves, is written by a woman of color for romance readers of color.
Within the pages of Shiver, side by side with its main characters, readers will experience heart-pumping action, thought-provoking mysteries, and a compelling love story.
Yet, unlike traditional romance novels, where the story ends at happily-ever-after, Shiver, and the other novels of Night Moves, continues the story after “happily-ever.”
Moreover, Shiver, and the Night Moves novels, rejoice in color. In all its tones, textures, and body types. Just as important, this novel and series celebrates the power and strength of working women, both in and out of the home.
What’s more, Shiver is a gift to our daughters, encouraging confidence and pride in their natural and unique standards of beauty.

Arthur’s Seat had never sought a galactic role. A relatively new colony world, a mere three hundred years old, the planet was always isolated from the galactic mainstream. But with the Empire crumbling after the fall of Earth, and other planets taking advantage of the chaos to make their own bids for power, Arthur’s Seat suddenly finds itself playing host to tens of thousands of unwanted immigrants, refugees who have been kicked off countless other worlds.
But as the planetary government struggles to integrate the newcomers, powerful factions plot to take advantage of the situation and the refugees struggle to carve out a place for themselves, it becomes clear that the entire planet is on the verge of anarchy ...
... And outright civil war may not be far away.
