All’s fair in love, war…and reality TV

Nothing ever came easy to Angie Russo. Hard work, loyalty, and sheer grit made her the kick-ass realtor she is today. But when her best still isn’t good enough, Angie decides to try something different. Maybe a stint on the new real estate reality show can give her the notoriety she needs to push her firm to #1. Her chances of winning the show’s prize are high…until she meets the entitled, cavalier, and all-too-sexy jerk she’s competing against.

Angie’s big chance is King Hunte’s rock bottom. He screwed up big, and he needs money fast. The silly real estate competition should be a breeze to win. Or, at least it would be, if not for the sassy, determined, and ridiculously desirable Angie. King’s suddenly forced to work harder than he ever has, and he’s shocked to find that he actually enjoys it…almost as much as he savors the combustible chemistry he shares with his prickly co-star.

Just as Angie discovers there’s more to King than meets the eye, King realizes Angie could be the key to the life he’s always secretly wanted. When a ghost from the past emerges to threaten their future together, Angie and King must overcome the obstacles the show—and life—throw at them, or see their shot at love end before the first commercial break.

Author Bio

For as long as Arell Rivers can remember, she has been lost in a book. During her senior year in college, she picked up a Danielle Steel novel … and instantly was hooked on romance.

Arell started writing her first novel because the characters were screaming at her to do so. The story started coming out in her dreams and attacking her in the shower, so she took to the computer to shut them up. But they kept talking.

Born and raised in New Jersey, Arell has what some may call a “checkered past.” Prior to discovering her passion for writing romance, she practiced law, was a wedding and event planner and even dabbled in marketing. Arell lives with a very supportive husband and two mischievous cats. When not in her writing cave, Arell is found making dinner in the crock pot, working out with Shaun T or hitting the beach.

Arell is a PAN member (Published Author Network) of the New Jersey chapter of Romance Writers of America.

Out of the Red

Title: Out of the Red
Series: Hunte Family #1

Author: Arell Rivers

Genre: Contemporary Rockstar Romance

Release Date: April 25, 2019

Blurb

One impassioned argument.

One dominating kiss.

One unexpected moment that turns everything upside down.

And that’s only the opening act.

Rockstar Braxton Hunte is the type of chaos that makes your soul burn…

Brax has been on tour for a decade, and some may say he swallows obstacles for fun. Well, maybe he does—he’s never encountered a riff he couldn’t handle, a treasure he couldn’t score, or a woman he couldn’t conquer. No one, especially not a buttoned-down rule-follower like the band’s new tour accountant, is going to change him.

Accountant Sara Anderson is an unabashed stickler for the rules…

Sara’s worked nine long years to make partner, and only one thing stands between her and her goal—Hunte. Now she’s going on their tour to whip the band into financial shape. So long as she gets them out of the red, the promotion will be hers. Those bad boys of rock will be tamed, no matter how yummy their lead singer is.

When rebellion confronts discipline, fireworks explode.

Passions collide, and lives are permanently altered, in this enemies-to-lovers, slow burn standalone romance set in the mid-1990s—when grunge ruled the airwaves and women partners were as uncommon as those new mobile phones.

Excerpt

“Okay, enough babbling about me. What’s up in your life?”

I fill her in about Hunte and my brilliant strategy to bring them to heel.

“Oh my gosh, Sara, Hunte is to die for! You are so lucky.”

I know what she’s talking about, and feign ignorance. “It’s work, not play.” I pause. “So can I count on you to watch over my plants if I have to stay away longer than a week?”

“Sure.”

“I’ll drop off the instructions, plus a copy of my itinerary in case you need to reach me, in your mailbox on my way to the airport.”

“Sounds good.” She giggles. “Geez, we both wouldn’t kick Braxton Hunte out of bed for eating crackers. Of course, that was before I got married. So now, it’s all on you.”

Even if I used to agree with her, my promotion rests on them now. I open the hall closet and grab a roll of toilet paper, filling up the holder in the guest bathroom. “Joanna, I’m going to be their tour accountant, not their groupie. No one from A&L has ever joined them on tour. I’m convinced that if I spend a week or two with them, I’ll sort out their crazy spendthrift ways. The partners will have no choice but to invite me into their ranks.”

When I finish, she’s silent for a long pause. “Hunte’s been around for years now…”

Having restored perfect order to my house, I collapse onto my sectional sofa. I kick my legs up on the soft fabric and lean back against the headrest. “Eight years.”

“Have they ever been in the black?”

I place my left foot on my right knee. “Yes. Their first couple of years were good. If they didn’t spend like drunken sailors—or rockstars—they would’ve been profitable every year.”

“Isn’t that what rockstars do? I mean, don’t they just spend as much as they make?”

“I don’t know, Joanna. I’ve never met one.”

A giggle floats through my handset. “Well, seems to me that you’re going to be meeting a few. Tomorrow.”

Rats. I thought I had successfully diverted her thoughts. I switch up my legs so that my right foot now rests on my left knee. “Whatever. They’re just a job.”

Full-blown laughter assails my ears. “Oh, honey, don’t try to pull that crap with me. Braxton Hunte is all that and a bag of chips. And he’s a free agent now, since he got divorced. With a son who’s his spitting image, which we both know only ups his appeal. I’m impressed—you’ve figured out a way to be with him. Brava.”

Both my legs crash down onto my sectional and a scowl crosses my face. “First, this client—emphasis on client, Joanna—is going to make me partner. Second, Hunte is a rock band, not a ‘he.’ Third, I enjoy their music, but I certainly do not have a crush on them.”

More laughter ensues. “Sure. You keep telling yourself that. When you’re face to face with Braxton Hunte, remember my words. All your tingly bits are going to be singing his song.”

Excerpt

His tenor voice bounces off all the surfaces in the room and skates down each one of my vertebrae. “What. Is. This?”

It takes a moment to process the fact that the lead singer of Hunte stands in the middle of my room, shaking my carefully planned budget at me. He’s more imposing than he looks in photographs. His long, curly blonde hair is the only soft thing about him. To buy myself time, I give him my back while I close the door with a quiet snick. My partnership rests on this. On him.

Ignoring the electricity zipping through my body urging the silly fangirl inside of me to touch him, I swivel on my heel and square my shoulders. Lunch will have to wait. I extend my hand. “Hello Braxton, I’m Sara Anderson, your tour accountant. Pleased to make your acquaintance.”

The world-famous hazel eyes that have spawned a few of my own daydreams—okay, maybe more than a few—cross as he looks down at my hand. “I’m sure you are,” he says, shifting his gaze to meet my eyes.

He’s a rockstar who lost his muse. She’s a graphic designer who discovers that kickstarting his imagination is the easy part...

Ozzy Martinez is smoldering.

Ripped.

Tatted and pierced. Everywhere.

With his sold-out Vegas residency ending, he’s scheduled to record his next album soon. Only problem? His creativity—and trust—are both MIA following a soul-crushing, deeply personal double betrayal.

McKenna James is feisty.

A Las Vegas original.

Brunette with an ever-changing shock of dyed hair.

She’s vying for a spot in a national competition that will give her the funds she desperately needs to keep her mother at home. But her contest submission hinges on new songs—from the one man whose productivity has run dry. Not to mention he embodies everything she’s vowed to leave behind.

For McKenna, he can’t be anything more than a ticket to success. For Ozzy, she’s an honest straight-shooter with a curvy body he remembers well. But then he finds himself divulging his darkest secrets. With every confession about his past, with every heart-pounding kiss, all the reasons why a romance between them can never happen fades.

Until he discovers her secret.

And another.

To have a chance at a life together, they both must learn how to HOLD STILL.
