Thrill Kill
by Ralph L. Motley, Jr.

iUniverse

 

Detective Zack Townes is just getting over the sudden death of his former partner when he's assigned a new one. Sgt. Kim Patterson, an Alicia Keys look-alike, seems more like a model than a police officer. But while on the clock, she's all business.

When she isn't at work, however, it's a different story. She's single and ready to find Mr. Right, or at least Mr. Right Now. And she thinks that her partner, Zack, who is married, might be just the man to satisfy her desires.

She lures him over to her place under false pretenses. And when arrives and open the door to her apartment, his heart nearly leaps out of his chest; she's standing there with a smirk, clad in nothing but a red negligee. Within seconds, Kim is all over him on the couch, sitting in his lap as she kisses him. Zack tried to go with the flow, as the well-endowed six foot eight detective was quickly getting aroused. But images of his wife and baby kept flashing across his mind, so with all his might he managed to resist her sexual advances.

But Kim didn't give up on love. So she decided to visit a local bar to let off some steam and find a man-but there's someone there that's doing some hunting of his own. Unwittingly now, she finds herself kidnapped by a sadistic serial killer who has been preying on women throughout the city.

Kim must rely on all her cunning if she's to outsmart her kidnapper and manage to survive in Thrill Kill.

She’ll find out on Valentine’s Day. Party promoter Tamara is opening a hot new club—and hoping to break her family’s tradition of failed marriages. But is dating three different men the best strategy? Cloe is a BAP on the career track. But just as she’s up for a big promotion, her boyfriend gives her an ultimatum.

Trouble is, Jessa has just sent them a text message telling them that she has run away with one of their husbands.

Wifey 4 Life
by Kiki Swinson

Melodrama Publishing

 

Kira’s quiet life in the islands is interrupted when she’s called back to Virginia to attend her cousin Nikki’s funeral. Reluctantly, Kira plans a short, incognito trip to do just that. However, her plans are derailed when news of her arrival spreads.

Now there’s a bounty on her head, and several snakes are ready to cash in. Behind enemy lines in her own hometown, Kira is faced with yet another battle to stay alive as she finds out once again, that she’s living on borrowed time. Will she be able to cheat death again, or will death snatch her from behind in part five of the Wifey series?

 

Kiki Swinson was born and raised in Portsmouth, Virginia. She discovered her flair for writing after completing her first novel, Mad Shambles, while serving a five-year sentence at a federal prison. After being released, Kiki self-published Mad Shambles. Her passion for writing didn’t stop there. Writing feverishly into the wee hours of the night, she completed her second novel, Wifey, which was published by Melodrama Publishing. After the success of Wifey, Kiki penned the sequels I’m Still Wifey, Life After Wifey, and Still Wifey Material. Taking a break from the series, Kiki also wrote A Sticky Situation, The Candy Shop, Playing Dirty, and Notorious, as well as the novella “Keeping My Enemies Close” alongside a novella by Wahida Clark in the collection Sleeping with the Enemy. Staying true to the Wifey brand that made her readers love her, Ms. Swinson has returned to pen Wifey 4 Life, part 5 in the highly acclaimed Wifey series.

Tender Love
by Kelly Zimmerman-Green

Content 2 Write


Dante Weston finds the love of his life, but his reality falls just a tad short of his dreams.

His friends warn him against opening his home to an unfamiliar woman. But the trouble and pain they predict, instead, become love and passion. He has no intention of falling in love. It wasn’t even close to being on his list of things to do. But when Leslie waltzes into his life, her grace, beauty and intelligence hold him captive, leaving him no desire to be set free. After wooing her with his sensuous charm, they spend their nights embracing the fiery, sultry, erotic romance that would become their life. Cruising their newly found love is effortless until the emotional baggage they each bring to the party interrupts their passion and tranquility. Seductive intimacy is forced to bow to pain and heartache as the unthinkable happens and each pay a price too great to endure.

Kelly Zimmerman-Green is a native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who attended Temple University. She graduated with a BA in psychology and used her degree to work in the social service field for fifteen years. In the summer of 2005, Kelly moved to the Atlanta area with her husband and two children. Since that time, she was a staff writer for a nationally televised sitcom. Currently, Kelly continues writing for television on a freelance basis and is a member of the Writer’s Guild of America. She is also crafting her next manuscript.
