We are excited to bring you the upcoming standalone from New York Times, USA Today, and #1 Wall Street Journal Bestselling author Penelope Ward.

DRUNK DIAL will release on AUGUST 21!

Cover designer: Letitia Hasser, RBA designs
Cover Model: Vadim Ivanov
Cover Photography: Kevin Roldan

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whom I’d never been able to forget—even though he so easily forgot about me—and call him.

Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you’ve had a little too much wine before bed, right? It was supposed to be just a quick, meaningless, prank call. Instead, I went off on him—unloading thirteen years of pent-up emotions.

I didn’t think he’d call me back.

I certainly could never have anticipated the weeks of sexually tense phone conversations that followed as I got to know the man he’d become.

Turned out, Landon had never really forgotten me, either. That special connection we had was still there. I opened up to him, but there were also things about me he didn’t know. And he had his own secrets.

Over the countless hours we talked on the phone, I wondered what would happen if we actually saw each other. One night, I did something impulsive again. Only this time, I went to the airport and booked a ticket to California. We were about to find out if one phone call could bring two lost souls together or if my drunk dial really was all just a big mistake.

A complete STANDALONE.

Excerpt

Vegas

1OAK
Nightclub

I frown as
the man covered in perspiration clings to me once more, oh for heavens sake.
“Do you mind?” I frown as I rip my arm from his grip. The music is pumping and I
am waiting at the bar.

“Not at
all.” He slurs.

Oh god, my
eyes flick over to my group of friends and they all smile and raise their
glasses to me in jest. Damn them. This hens weekend away is reminding me why I
am eternally single. I fake a smile, bitches.

“I mean it
baby, let’s dance.”

I roll my
eyes. “I can’t, I’m waiting for someone, you should probably run along.”

“Who?” he
asks. Oh give up, pushy bastard.

A tall and
dark haired good looking guy walks past and I grab him by the arm, he frowns as
he turns back toward us. “This guy. “I smirk.

The creepy
guy frowns and curls his lip at his competition.

My eyes
scan up and down the guy I have just grabbed, oh, he’s gorgeous. I planned that
well.

The guy
raises an eyebrow in question as his eyes flick between us.

“This is my
husband.” I smile as I link my arm through his. He looks like a nice guy, I’m
sure he will save me.

The tall
guy raises an eyebrow in surprise and smiles. “And you are my …….wife?” He
questions as his eyes flick between me and them man.

I nod.
“Aha.” Oh boy, don’t blow my cover.

Tall dark
and handsome turns his gaze onto the man before us as he snakes his arm around
my waist. “You have met my gorgeous wife then?”

I narrow my
eyes as I listen to his voice, I think he’s Australian.

The creepy
guy narrows his eyes. “You don’t know him.” He sneers. “I don’t believe you.”

Tall dark
and handsome smirks and leans over and grabs the back of my head and pulls me
towards him, his tongue rims my lips and he sucks on my mouth, his tongue takes
no prisoners as it swipes deep into my mouth….what the frigging hell? His hand
drops to my behind and he squeezes the cheek in his hand. Oh my god, this was
not in the brochure.

He pulls
away and licks his lips as his eyes drop to my breasts and back up to my face.

I fake a
smile as my mind goes totally blank. “Huh.” My eyes flick back to the other guy
as I lick my lips, holy crap. What kind of kiss was that? “Umm.”

Tall dark
and handsome takes my hand in his. “Fuck off mate, she’s with me.” He then pulls
me by the hand through the crowd, what, wait, where are we going? My eyes flick
over to my friends who are all high fiving each other over my random kiss with
Mr Holy Hot. Should I just pull out of his grip? What the hell for, this guy is
freaking delicious. Oh shit, we arrive over to his group of friends and he puts
his arm around my waist and pulls my body close to his.

“Boys.” He
acknowledges his large group of friends. “You will be pleased to know I just
got married en route from the bar. Please meet my new wife.”

Their eyes
meet and they all shake their heads and laugh. “Hello.” They all smile. “Nice
to meet you.” One man replies as he shakes my hand.

  I smirk as his hand tightens around my waist.
“

“About
time.” One guy says as he shakes his hand. “Congratulations mate, what’s your
wife’s name?”

His eyes
flick to me and he smiles sexily again. “Blossom.”

 I laugh out loud. “Blossom?”

 His friends all look me up and down and smile
and then go back to their conversation as if this is a common occurrence.

His eyes
drop to my breasts again.

“My eyes
are up here.” I reply, he can’t even pretend not to stare.

He picks up
his beer and drinks it down. “So?”

I frown, of
all the nerve. “So, you keep looking at my boobs.”

“You
noticed?”

My mouth
drops open in. “Well, I’m not imaging it.”

***Marialee's Review***

I read this book and I messaged Kristen asking her "WHY!?!" why can she do this to me? To us? What was she thinking!!! The feels this book gives is unbelievable. The way that Kristen writes is like she is telling you a story about your family. When there is happiness you sit there reading with a big smile on your face and look like a complete goofball at work because your smile is so wide (at least that is what happened to me). When there is heartache and sorrow then you feel it deep in your bones. Your heart is being ripped out left on the floor for all to see. You have tears in your eyes that are at the very edge of tipping over but you just keep them inside because you don't want people to think there is something wrong, even though there is. Your family has just had a tragedy.

This book is about Raine and Ryder and them starting their life as husband and wife. If you have read Unspeakable then you know about Raine and Ryder. The wedding is when you have the mile wide smile on your face with your heart soaring with love for the family. The tragedy in this book is what makes your heart break and you feel like a little piece of you has died. How can you ever return from it? Well, every once in a while out of tragedy there is joy and this just happens to be one of those times. 

Love this MC series and would recommend that you read not just this series but all of Kristen's books. Not only is Kristen an amazing author, but she is also an amazing person. Can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

***Gail's Review***

This is a continuation for Ryder and Raine.. you got to see then fall in love in Unspeakable. Now its time for wedding bells and the happily ever after's.. until it not.. Someone is out for revenge and thru a series of events.. things happen and this leaves the Unacceptables lost and devastated.

Kristen has a way with her words and she just ripped my heart out of my chest with this book.. I may or may not have sent her a WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!! :) But you know what.. with tragedy comes Joy and beauty.. 

Thank you for allowing me to honor of reading this amazing book...

Title: Bad Boss

Author: Clarissa Wild

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: July 19, 2017

Blurb

What do men want more than anything? Money and women.

As the CEO of one of the biggest companies in the city, I am
one lucky man.

Everyone wants a taste of what I’ve got to offer, and it’s
massive. Girls fight over me in droves.

In my fantasy, of course. I had to make some sacrifices to
get to the top.

To protect myself and the company, I always have to hide my
dirty little secret…

I’m a panty sniffer.

What? A man has needs. Mine are just a bit more… outrageous.
Instead of dating, I hoard panties.

Except it’s about to blow up in my face.

Why?

Because a beautiful girl just showed up for a job interview
… the same girl I just bought a pair of panties from anonymously…

And what do I do?

I let my junk do the thinking, and hire her as my
intern.

Author’s note: Don’t take it too hard, it’s just a book,
not a big D. But this guy does have one. I’m not kidding. His schlong is huge
and his ego is too, so beware. And as always … if you don’t like slapstick
jokes and corny romance, don’t bother to read.

Excerpt

“The
shower’s over there.” I point at my bathroom. “In case you wanna take a shower.
Or something.” Oh god, why did I have to make it sound so pervy?

“I’m fine,”
he says. “I just wanna get dry and get back to work.”

Damn.

For a
moment there, I’m actually disappointed. Now I won’t get to see his sexy abs
and imagine running my fingers all over them. I wonder what he looks like.

Seriously, Lesley? Stooping so low for some
action?

I should
definitely have more sex, just to prevent myself from craving him. I mean, I do
like casual sex, but I’ve been so busy running my panty-scheme and trying to
find a job that I just don’t have the time for sex. Let alone a boyfriend.
Nope. I definitely need to find some random hookup. That, or pull my trusty
vibrator from the closet.

Especially
when he just takes off his shirt … right
here in my living room.

I gulp.

The
shoulder and back muscles that appear beneath capture my attention, and not
just a little bit. My eyes are practically bulging out of my head as he marches
toward the bathroom and throws his shirt down with little to no care.

That sexy
body dragged me out of the water. He lifted me up and held me close to him as
he tried to bring me to the shore. I came so close
… and then I screwed it for myself. Why did I do that again? Oh right, because
I want to be my own boss. Stupid. I should’ve just let him touch me.

Oh, yes.
I’m practically drooling over my shoes at the thought. Fuck.

Roll in that damn tongue, girl.

He throws
his jacket on the counter and puts his shoes on the floor. Then he pulls off
his soaked socks and pants, revealing his mighty calves. He must go to the gym
often to look like this, but my question is …
Who’s he doing all the work for? Another girl? Not that it should matter. I
mean, I don’t have a shot. I shouldn’t even take a shot; he’s my damn boss.

Annoyed
with myself and my own dirty thoughts, I furrow my brows, but still, I can’t take my eyes off him.

He turns
around and stares right back at me.

And I’m
left horrified and stunned.

“Are you
looking at me?” A smug grin spreads across his face.

“N-no, I
wasn’t,” I stammer, barely able to keep my eyes from his abs, which are now
clearly visible as he’s turned my way.

He’s so
damn sexy, and to think that I was in the water with … that. I’m impressed. I never thought he’d be this good looking. I
wasn’t looking hard enough. Then again, he’s still kind of an ass.

He snorts.
“Yeah, you were.”

Only by losing my freedom, did I realize I was never free at all.

My father, the president of the Fallen Aces MC, sent me away to save me from a cold-blooded fate handed down by a tyrannical drug lord. Now, over a year later, my brother has come to take me home.

Only it doesn’t feel like home anymore.

I’m lost, wandering familiar yet foreign halls as I try to work out what my purpose is in this club. What can I offer the people who sacrificed so much to save me? I need a guiding light, something to get me on the right path. Or someone.

Someone like him.

A cocky, playful ladies man, Dog is nothing like what I thought I’d ever need. But as he strips the colors from his back, and reveals the true brilliance of the ones below, I can’t help but fall in love with the overbearing yet guarded man.

"Love Max Henry love, love her style of writing. This book will keep you flipping pages simply because you need to know what happens!!" - Linda Diamond

Max is the author of dark, and highly emotional romance. Her Butcher Boys series is centered around a group of ex-street kids who have teamed up with an indebted motorcycle club to take down a notorious drug lord. And her new series, the Fallen Aces MC, is a spin-off from this dark and dangerous world. Her writing has been described as 'gripping', and 'addictive', taking you on an 'emotional roller coaster ride'.

Originally born and bred in New Zealand, Max now resides with her family in beautiful and sunny Queensland, Australia. Life with two young children can be hectic at times, and although she may not write as often as she would like, Max wouldn't change a thing.
