Blurb: 

In the glittering lights of Hollywood, the brightest smiles hide the darkest secrets.

I thought I was done with Marcus Ortega and the ghosts of his past, but it’s become clear that he’s a drug I can’t quit, the epitome of danger wrapped in allure.

It’s impossible to focus on my career when he’s dragging me further into the dark side of Hollywood where corruption and scandals thrive, but no matter how high up the ladder of fame I climb, Marcus’s shadow looms over me and I fall down again.

I never knew he was entangled in the mafia, and now, because of him, I’m caught in their deadly web, too. The more he tries to free me, the more I’m faced with two harsh realities: I’m in this too deep, and Marcus might be the end of me.

Somehow, I’ve got to navigate the treacherous waters of the industry, all while evading the seediest corners of the red carpet. But with every forbidden touch, I know that resisting him may be the ultimate test of my will—and my survival.

Welcome to Neverland. Where shadows consume and magic is frighteningly real.

 

Ava is struggling to provide for herself and her sister, who slips further into insanity with each passing day. Raving about Neverland. Obsessed with a Second Star that Ava can’t see in the black, velvety sky. Until the night Belle succumbs to the terrifying shadows plaguing her and sweeps Ava away to a land that is only supposed to exist in storybooks. 

 

Neverland is real. And so is Peter Pan.

 

He's grown from boy to man, wielding a terrible power he uses to rule the island. When he senses Ava’s presence and sends his Lost Boys to collect her, a dashing captain with a silver hook for a hand comes to her defense. He offers her protection aboard his ship, and the help of his crew to find Belle before Peter and his Lost Boys do. But what he asks for in return might be more than she or her sister can possibly pay. 

 

Belle once stole something invaluable from Peter Pan, something Hook and his crew need if they’re ever to escape the cursed island’s thrall. And despite their undeniable attraction, Hook will do anything to claim it before Pan can.

Casey Bond lives on a rural farm in West Virginia with her husband and their two beautiful daughters. She writes phoenixes – gloriously flawed and morally gray characters that fiercely rise from the ashes of their circumstances. World building is one of her favorite hobbies, along with stamping metal jewelry, swimming, and enjoying the beauty of nature. She thinks thunderstorms are better than coffee and that watching a meteor shower is the closest thing to magic you might ever see. She’s a firm believer that every amazing book needs a world you want to wrap yourself in, a character you want to win, and a love you would fight for.

 

Casey is the award-winning author of When Wishes Bleed, Gravebriar, and House of Eclipses.

I kept my nose clean. Bad publicity was the last thing you wanted, and I’d had my share since my last breakup went public. We’d also just lost our last five games.

The boys and I decided to head to the islands for a little R&R. I’d never been so happy for a break. That was where I saw her. She didn’t seem to recognize me, which made it better, so I made my move. We didn’t exchange names or numbers. We shared one carefree night, that was all I wanted and that was all it was supposed to be.

A few months later, regret from that night had almost eaten away at me. I hadn’t been able to get her out of my mind. I wouldn’t say I fell in love with her, or maybe I did. All I knew was that night was the closest I’d ever come to insta-love and I wanted more but we’d had our fun. Yet, I was still mentally kicking myself for at least not getting her name.

We're about to head into the playoffs when I return home and that is when the universe decides to bring us back together in one of the worst places ever. Only this time won’t be like the last, I decide I won’t let her slip through my fingers. This time, I’ve promised myself nothing, and all bets are off.

S.L. Sterling was born and raised in southern Ontario. She now lives in Northern Ontario Canada and is married to her best friend and soul mate and their two dogs. 

An avid reader all her life, S.L. Sterling dreamt of becoming an author. She decided to give writing a try after one of her favorite authors launched a course on how to write your novel. This course gave her the push she needed to put pen to paper and her debut novel "It Was Always You" was born. 

When S.L. Sterling isn't writing or plotting her next novel she can be found curled up with a cup of coffee, blanket and the newest romance novel from one of her favorite authors on her e-reader. Her favorite authors include Kendall Ryan, Vi Keeland, Penelope Ward, Lauren Blakely, Alessandra Torre and Willow Winters. 

In her spare time, she enjoys camping, hiking, sunny destinations, spending quality time with family and friends and of course reading.

He's fighting the silence; she's painting his world with color again.

Zane

Battled, broken, and branded by war, I came to Oakside seeking refuge, not redemption.

The blast took my hearing and tossed my world into silence.

Now I’m a grizzled former Navy SEAL battling with my demons and the silence of my world, until I stumble upon Carlee.

Despite the years and experiences that separate us, she looks at me and sees a man, not a collection of scars and stories.

But with my past and her dreams of a future, I'm not convinced I can it give to her.

Carlee

Art is my refuge, my way of speaking when words fail me.

Oakside is supposed to be just another step in building my dream.

Helping Zane find his way back to himself wasn't in my plans, despite the shadows that linger in his eyes, I see the possibility of a future together.

Until I get the phone call that says I'm the sole guardian of my six year old niece.

Now I’m thrust into a life he’s made clear he doesn’t want.

His Destiny

Title: His Destiny

Series: His Confession Trilogy Book 3

Author: Angel Rayne

Genre: Dark Mafia Romance

Release Date: May 2, 2024

Cover Design: Dar Albert at Wicked Smart Designs

I’ve always been empty. A void where a soul should be. Now, everything is different. Because of her…

Monsters aren’t supposed to have empathy. That’s why I was the perfect mafia enforcer. Cold. Brutal and efficient.

Until I dragged Luna into the dark with me.

Even as my captive, she shined her light into all the scarred, tortured parts of my world, forcing me to realize I might be human after all.

And I hate it.

I have no idea what to do with these emotions. Desires. The overwhelming need I have for her touch, her body, her soul.

I know I can protect her from our mutual enemy. That’s why I kidnapped her in the first place.

But I’m starting to wonder if I’m the one who needs to be saved. Because for the first time in a long time, maybe ever, I think I’m…afraid.

After all, what kind of twisted beast will I become now that my heart—the one I only just realized I have—is in her delicate hands?

His Destiny, the final book in the His Confession trilogy, is a spicy, hot, dark contemporary mafia romance. If you’ve been looking for a sexy, villain-gets-the-girl story, your search is over, because Tristan is the morally grey, scarred and twisted bad boy of your darkest fantasies. Finish reading the trilogy today!

Hi! My name is Angel Rayne and I write dark, delicious romance with antiheroes who would burn down the world to save the woman they love. I never understood why the villains never win the girl, and so I decided to write them their own love stories where they do.

Here are a few other odds and ends about me…

-Music inspires my stories and I make playlists for every book.

-I am not a fast writer. My stories take time to write. They need to brew in my head. To have book releases close together I have to write ahead. But I would much rather take the time the stories need to be the best they can be than try to rush them out. Trust me on this one.

-I love the rain, and I'm happiest when I'm sitting in a coffee shop with my laptop as it storms outside.

-I prefer to go watch movies alone, with one of those fancy coffees hidden in my purse. (Yes, I really do this.)

-My husband calls me his "little bird" because anything that sparkles catches my eye.

-I will never have enough soft blankets. Ever.

-I love ALL THE DRAMA…at least in books.

-I will forever re-watch The Phantom of the Opera with the hope that by some miracle, this time she will choose correctly.

Thank you for reading my stories, and I always love to hear from you! You can reach me at: angel@angelrayne.com
