Blog Tour ~ Changing the Rules - Book One of the Richter Series by Catherine Bybee



 About the Title


Title: Changing the Rules

Author: Catherine Bybee

Release Date: March 23, 2021

Publisher: Montlake 


Summary 

As an employee of MacBain Security and Solutions, Claire Kelly can certainly hold her own. Armed with an impressive set of covert skills, she’s more than prepared to tackle any job that comes her way…except one involving Cooper Lockman.


Cooper and Claire used to work together before his feelings for her sent him packing to Europe for six long years. But now he’s back and determined to ignore the still-smoldering heat that lingers between them.


Their current mission: go undercover together at a California high school to root out the mastermind behind a prostitution ring targeting young girls. The closer they get to the truth and the closer they get to each other, however, the deadlier their task becomes. As Claire and Cooper risk their lives to bring down their target, will their hearts be the final casualties?


Excerpt from Changing the Rules by Catherine Bybee


Claire collapsed onto the living room sofa the second she walked in the door. Not only had she suffered a headache the entire day, Cooper ran her like a trainer working an Iron Man competitor. 


“That sounds like a bad day,” Jax said as she walked around the corner of the kitchen. 


“You don’t want to know.” 


Claire flung an arm over her eyes to block out the sun. 


She heard Jax walk in the room and then exhale as she sat down. “You’re right. I don’t give a crap what happened in school, unless it involved Cooper. What I want is the details of last night after I got out of the car.” 


Before Cooper picked them up, Claire and Jax had agreed that Jax would give them a few minutes to have a private conversation. Now Claire regretted that plan. 


“The long story, or the short story?” Claire asked. 


“Whatever one you want to deliver.” 


Claire’s arms slid off her head, and she pushed herself into a sitting position. 


“Cooper has a thing for me.” 


Jax sat silent, blinked a few times. “Okay, and?” 


“What do you mean, ‘okay, and?’” 


“Sorry, Claire, but that’s obvious. I think you’d have to be an idiot to not see it. Even the guys on the team see it.” 


“What? Are they talking about—” 


Jax stopped her with a shake of the head. “Of course not. But you can tell by how they look at the two of you that they know there’s an attraction.” 


Claire pointed to her chest. “I’m not doing anything, it’s him.” 


“Maybe it’s more him.” 


She kept shaking her head. “No, it’s all him. I’m not instigating anything.” 


“You flirt with him all the time.” 


“I do not,” Claire huffed. 


One look from Jax and she rescinded her statement. “Okay, we banter. But it’s always been like that. I have the pool stick, he makes some kind of phallic joke. It’s banter. Not flirting.” 


Jax sat back, crossed her arms over her chest. Claire couldn’t believe her best friend was calling her out. “We’re friends. And last night he ruined that by telling me he’s had a thing for me since we met. Told me he left sunny California for dreary London because I was too young and naive to handle him when I first got here.” 


Jax narrowed her eyes. “Is that really how he said that?” 


Claire’s headache was coming back. “No. He said I was a child.” 


“A child?” 


Claire stood up from the couch, started for the kitchen. “He kept repeating that I was eighteen back then.” 


Jax followed behind. “Which is true.” 


Claire yanked open the fridge, pulled out a beer. “Whose side are you on?” 


“Yours. Always. But I just don’t see where all the fire is about this. Cooper owns up to the flirting comments and puppy-dog looks he gives you, and you’re pissed because he walked away six years ago.”


Like picking a lock, the pieces slid into place and finally started to click. “But he’s my friend.” 


“Trying to say you’ve never thought of him as more?” 


“No.” Her denial was quick. 


Jax started to smile. “You’ve never checked out his ass? The guy can fill out a pair of jeans.” 


Some of the anger she’d harbored all day eased. “That’s true.” 


“And that smile. When he’s belly laughing he has the tiniest dimples.” 


Claire closed her eyes, pictured his smile. She hadn’t noticed the dimples, but now that she thought about it . . . She opened her eyes to find Jax staring at her. 


“Sounds like you have a thing for him,” Claire said. 


“Wouldn’t matter if I did, and I don’t, by the way, but it wouldn’t matter. The guy can’t stop looking at you.” 


“God, what am I going to do with him?” 


“I don’t think you have to do anything. It’s not like he asked you out and you said no and now it’s awkward.” 


“You’re right. It’s worse than that.” 


“You’re overthinking it.” Jax pushed off the counter. “You know what, let’s gussy up a little and hit a proper happy hour. We’ll talk in German and pretend we don’t speak English and shamelessly flirt.” 


Claire abandoned her beer. “Now that is exactly what I need to do and get my mind off of boys.”

Book Tour & Giveaway ~ The Half That You See - Horror Anthology

 

 


The Half That You See
Genre: Horror Anthology
Edited by Rebecca Rowland

Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.”
-The System of Dr. Tarr and Prof. Fether by Edgar Allan Poe (1845)

Poe’s classic tale told of a state of the art hospital boasting a curiously experimental treatment, but things were not as they seemed. In The Half That You See, twenty-six writers from around the globe share their literary optical illusions in never before seen stories of portentous visions and haunting memories, altered consciousness and virulent nightmares, disordered thinking and descents into madness. Take a walk down the paths of perception that these dark fiction raconteurs have tunneled for you, but keep a tight grip on your flashlight: the course twists and turns, and once you’re on route to your destination, there is no turning back. That which creeps about in the poorly lit corners of the human mind has teeth, and it’s waiting for you.

Book Tour & Giveaway ~ Life After - The Infinite Love Series: Book Two by Kira Adams

 

 


Life After
Infinite Love #2
by Kira Adams
Genre: New Adult Cartel Contemporary Romance


Topher
I’d never imagined I would find someone who completed me, just to lose her. I’d never imagined the love I felt could be overshadowed by the deepest depression I’d ever lived through. Two years had passed since she touched my life, since she was taken from me. I was afraid to let anyone else close, afraid to lose them like I lost her, and then Destiny crashed into my life. She was nothing like Ciera, and that’s what attracted me. The more she pushed me away, the more I wanted her. I knew I was playing with fire, but I liked the burn.

Destiny
He was so unexpected, nothing like the guys I would normally go for, but he was persistent. He saw the ugliness inside of me, and he accepted it; he nurtured it. I’d been looking out for me for so long that, when he came into the picture, I couldn’t accept it. It was too good to be true. He was too good to be true, too good for someone like me. But when shit hit the fan, Topher was there by my side, holding me up. He didn’t run away when things got tough, and that meant the world to me. I wasn’t Ciera; I didn’t want to be her. I just wanted a chance to show him the love I knew he deserved.
