Title: Thieves of Kisses
Author: Nadia Braeckel
Genre: Coming of Age, Multicultural Romance
Release Date: August 08, 2023

She’s his diamond in the rough that he never knew existed, and he doesn’t care if he has to steal it to be his.

Julia
Running away from the life she despised—and the husband who controlled her—was her only route to freedom. She’s used to hardships and isolation, but at least now she’s free. She’s about to explore a whole New World. Things are going as planned until she meets someone who wakes up her dormant heart and makes her feel alive again. But he’s not available, emotionally or physically. In fact, she’s planning his wedding.

Aldin
Aldin cares about one thing: status. He’s built a wealthy future from broken bones and faded bruises, never caring who he hurt along the way. But when his fiancé brings home their new wedding planner, the walls he built to protect his heart begin to crack. The more he spends time with this beautiful distraction, the more he finds himself tempted to go back to his old ways and steal what doesn’t belong to him—her heart.

Aldin’s losing control the more he’s around Julia, and he doesn’t think he can stop himself from taking something that isn’t his, but does true love even exist? And if it does, is it worth losing everything he’s built in his life up until now?

Will they overcome the obstacles they both face and follow their hearts? Or will Julia be doomed and have to look over her shoulder the rest of her life, running from the past, without Aldin to keep her safe?

Thieves of Kisses is intended for mature audiences who enjoy dark subject matters, off page rape, cheating not on FMC, physical and emotional abuse, noncon not by MMC.

Imogene Sol has had to work twice as hard for everything she has earned as a cadet at The Ring Academy on Serta.

But when she’s framed for an offense that could not only get her expelled from the academy but also incarcerated, Imogene must discover who’s behind the threat against her. When her greatest competition, Timaeus Kade, offers to help her solve the mystery to clear her name, Imogene must decide if she’s willing to trust him. The stakes are high.

JUMPER, WIP Wednesday, Writing

WIP Wed–Thursday! Again…

I am the Queen of two things: Sleep and Procrastination.

That said, I had most of this post planned on Tuesday and actually said something to the effect of, ‘I don’t have to worry about tomorrow yet’ when I was reminded about it. I then went on to do some recovery on Wednesday, and I did not get this post done. I guess I need to apologize to Miss Bri because I did indeed need to worry about Wednesday then… I couldn’t have guessed that I would be feeling badly and sleep all day.

Alas, the book. JUMPER. I am behind on it. It’s looking like the release for it will be pushed back again, with me having signings this month and next, there is just so little time for me to produce. Not to mention that my body has been in failure for weeks now. Between the anemia and COVID and now the iron infusion treatments. This is what turning 50 feels like? I would like to object on the BS involved with the last year. 49 has been a ton of nonsense.

All that said. Here is my typo of the week. I don’t know what I was trying to say… it’s all up to interpretation by the aliens.

This WIP Is Balls

I’ve been ‘working’ on JUMPER. I say ‘working’ because I’ve had a little hiatus while I have a holiday, a family emergency, and a flare-up of chronic anemia. Anemia sucks; when you have chronic anemia, it’s more than just fatigue. You get dizzy, weak, and you can get winded for no reason at all and heal incredibly slowly. I have an appointment with my oncologist to see what happens next, and for once I am hoping for iron infusions because they make me feel better, as overdone as they sound. 

This BS has made working on the book incredibly difficult. I have built an incredibly detailed outline for the book, so when I get the energy up, I can zip through it.  

Today I leave you with the genital WIP. It’s, unfortunately, balls.

This is an exciting opportunity to bring you River Starr as my Featured Author! LIFEBLOOD is LIVE, the first of a new 5-book slow burn why ch00se series!

🔥 Fated Mates
🔥 Demon/Monster Romance
🔥 Touch Her and D!e
🔥 “Good girl”
🔥 One Virgin MMC
🔥 Arthurian Inspiration

I WAS CHOSEN AS THEIR WIFE. BUT I DIDN’T CHOOSE THEM. The Demon Courts reign in darkness over half the world, threatening our very existence. We in the Humanlands send them wives via lottery once a year to appease them, women to ravage and ruin in a lust-filled dance as their darkest desires are fulfilled.

IT’S NEVER ENOUGH. The women never return. The four cursed demon kings are never satisfied. When my best friend is chosen as one of their next wives, I can’t leave her to that fate. I alone can end our suffering—but I’ve been hiding, terrified of death.

BECAUSE I AM A LIFEBLOOD. I’m one of the last true children of the divine. My celestial blood is the key to the kings’ continued immortality and, if prophecy is to be believed, the cure to their curses. As soon as I meet the four achingly sexy monarchs, I can’t deny the intense and immediate attraction—and the pull my magic has on them. Each of the gorgeous kings will try to take me as his wife. I hope they’re ready to fight for it… and that I survive the claiming.
