Cover Reveal: Star-Crossed by Luna Lacour


Star-Crossed
Release Date: January 2014

Summary from Goodreads:

Secrets

Deception
Lies
...Lust.

It started with a game - seduce the new teacher.

Eighteen-year-old Kaitlyn Laurent is living the American Dream. Born into a wealthy, socialite family with more opulent surroundings and material things than any girl could even fathom, Kaitlyn is the fresh, young face amidst a sea of morally-amiss Manhattan Debutantes. She is educated, poised, and on the outside - entirely virtuous. Her life, in short, is perfect.

Or so it would seem.

Inside the walls of her Upper East Side mansion, Kaitlyn is struggling. After her parents' divorce and her father's remarriage to a beautiful but otherwise utterly vapid woman, Kaitlyn quickly finds herself living in a realm of self-created fantasy, completely detached and entirely clashing with her new family – particularly, her classmate-turned-stepbrother, Marius. Arrogant and with a penchant for playing games, he is intrigued and infatuated by Kaitlyn's faux-chaste outer facade that she uses to cover an otherwise calloused heart.

When the two of them enter into into their final semester at Trinity Prep, and the buzz around campus is that a gorgeous new teacher has set foot in the classroom, Marius makes Kaitlyn a bet: seduce the man who is now her Literature teacher.

If she wins, she gets his trust fund. Money that she can use to finally escape a life that she has come to loathe.

If Marius wins...he gets her virginity.

When an initial spark turns into full-blown obsession, and her affections are inevitably returned – Kaitlyn learns that there are no actions without consequence, and some affairs are simply star-crossed.

Rumor Has It by Elisabeth Grace
(Limelight #1)
Publication date: December 6, 2013
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

Synopsis:

All publicity is good publicity, right? Unless you’re recent college grad Ellie Wagner and an embarrassing video of you and your boyfriend goes viral. Every man in your life abandons you, but who knew a one-minute clip of your latest doomed relationship would brand you a slut, prevent you from getting your perfect job, and force you to keep doing the one thing you swore you’d never do again…live with your mother.

But staying with mom and her latest boy-toy (is this husband number four or five?) until your life turns around might not be all bad. Especially when you fall – literally – at the feet of a sexy, green-eyed stranger who offers you freedom and a life of luxury on a gold-rimmed platter.

There’s only one little problem – the man of your dreams is none other than Mason Nash, the latest hip-hop star busting up the music charts. Fame and fortune are his calling cards and he’s vying to steal the show on a new reality TV series that will catapult him into mainstream stardom. Hello spotlight.

The man behind the famous persona is perfect for Ellie in every way, but can she overcome the ugly pitfalls that come with Mason’s celebrity status? Or will she be forced to choose between the man she loves and the independent life she longs for? After all, fame and fortune aren’t always what they seem and not all publicity is good publicity…

When Mia Strong, proud geek-girl and popular gaming blogger, auctions off her virginity online, she knows she’ll make waves. But what she will not be making is a love connection. Her rules are set in stone: One night. No further contact.

EXCERPT


He settled her back on the counter again, this time parting her legs so he could stand between them and holding her in place. Gods, he could stare at his woman his whole damn life.
Tegue’s chair scraped on the wood floor, viciously yanking Levian thoughts—and eyes—from Sera. He turned to see Tegue push himself to his feet and carefully inspect his battered body for damage. Tegue winced, then turned huge blue eyes to Sera, unleashing a look that irritated Levian to no end. The kind that involved huge, wounded eyes and a slight pout in order to achieve some sort of pity.
What a toddler!
 Levian felt Sera shift, and he clamped his hand tighter.
Tegue glanced at Levian’s hand, and when he realised he wasn’t getting any pity, he sighed and said, “Your father said you might say that. He wanted you to come home of your own free will, but when it seemed that wasn’t going to happen…. He was about to Summon you when the investigator came in with the news.”
She blinked, her eyes growing round once again. “He wanted to Summon me? My own father wanted to use that power to force me back home?”
“He is the Alpha.” Tegue stretched his legs, seeming oblivious to Sera’s increasing panic.
The only time Levian could remember her father Summoning her was when she was fifteen and she’d run off in the woods, preferring not to take part in his lessons on how to become Alpha. Those magic words from his lips had dragged her across the grass, slapping against trees until she found herself glaring into his bright blue eyes. Summoning was one hell of a bitch. The invisible bonds woven within each member in the clan ensured Summoning worked seamlessly.
Levian snuck his hand around her neck and began to massage the spot below her ear. He growled in approval when she leaned into his touch, her eyes closed. He could bet no one had touched her like this in the past five years, what with the way her back arched forwards.  “Come on, let it out. You know you want to purr for me, Sera. See, no one can touch you like I do.” He chuckled when her eyes snapped open and she tried to scowl at him but failed miserably. “Your father really wants you home. He will do anything to bring you back. He kept throwing around things like ‘Summon her if you must’ and ‘Club her on the head and drag her back home if it comes to that.’”
She narrowed her eyes at him. “Are you threatening me, Levian?”
He shrugged. “I want you back home. With me.”
“You are not in a position to perform the Summoning on me.” A smile replaced the scowl on her face. A very smug smile.
Levian’s fingers halted. He cocked his head to one side, lips curved into a half-smile. “Aren’t I?”
She studied him through narrowed eyes. “No.”
Tegue snorted. “As a matter of fact, he is. Aren’t you, little brother?”
“Yes,” Levian said. “I am.”

A frown puckered her forehead, and he knew if he tried to kiss it away, he might end up losing his lips. And he needed them for later.

Releasing in late November 2013

Sarah Langham’s life was the epitome of normal until her dad slept with another woman when she was sixteen. It ripped her family apart. Twenty-two-year-old Sarah has it together, though. Waiting at the train station to go home from her first day of her first proper job out of university, she spots a man. He is an enigma to her. She’s drawn to him, with his square jaw; buzz of hair; and his tall, solid frame, seen under the contours of his business suit. And he’s been looking at her, too. Fate pulls them together that night on a whirlwind date, exceeding anything Sarah’s experienced before. He’s even more into her than she’s into him. Finally, she wants to trust a guy for the first time since she was sixteen. But then they discover something. Something that meant they were never two strangers at a train station. And it threatens to tear their future
apart before it, really, ever begins.
