Her panties don’t drop for anyone unless there’s love, so a guy like Darcy doesn’t stand a chance.
Being shoved up the New York City socialite ladder chafes, so Beth attends college as far away as possible. Texas provides the distance she needs, but when her father gets sick she finds herself right back where she started—stuck together with a bronzed god who hates her.
The prideful will fall to ruin.
Their prejudice will be their undoing.
And William Darcy will be the first to fall, Beth is certain of that.

A new romance novel by New York Times bestselling author H.M. Ward.
One night, one time, one word is all it takes to wash away a decade of reason and regret. One secret threatens to push Trystan Scott six feet under, and, when those blazing blue eyes turn to me for help, how can I say no?
Before the billionaire playboy with rock-hard abs and a totally lickable dimple rose to stardom, we were friends for a while and lovers for a night. Though that was nearly a decade ago, our connection burns brightly in my memory. We weren’t a one-night stand, not to me.
But I can admit it–I got played. To him, I was just another conquest. Now my beautiful best friend is long gone, and I’ve moved on. Until fate forces us to meet face to face, and everything I felt for him comes rushing back. Trystan is crashing and burning fast. The press are flocking like vultures, waiting for him to kill himself or worse. His mistakes earn them millions and I’m the only one who has a chance at saving him.

H.M. Ward at B&N Signing in New York City. April 2016.
Since I started indie publishing my first book, authors have always wanted the opportunity to have their print books in brick and mortar stores.
For years, self-published authors have been hitting the bestsellers lists, but their books rarely surfaced in a physical location. For example, I’ve personally hit the New York Times bestseller list 21 times and unless a store manager decided to stock a title, it just wasn’t done. Bestseller or not.
Well, today B&N’s self publishing division, NOOK PRESS, made a major announcement.
INDIES HAVE A CHANCE TO CREATE PAPERBACKS & HARDCOVERS AT NOOKPRESS.COM
THESE TITLES WILL SHOW IN PRINT ON BN.COM WITHIN 72 HOURS.
INDIES CAN GET THEIR BOOKS IN BARNES & NOBLES STORES.
SELF-PUBLISHED AUTHORS CAN HAVE IN-STORE SIGNINGS AT BARNES & NOBLE.
The ability to have indie books on shelves is a topic that’s of supreme importance. For some, it’s a chance to level the playing field and get all the opportunities a traditionally published peer would have gotten. For readers, it means they suddenly have access to thousands of titles that they’ve not seen before. Many people are still reading print. This increases their choices while offering them great prices at a store they already frequent.
This open door is an incredible opportunity, and it doesn’t cost you a thing. Actually, Nook Press is offering new accounts a $25 e-gift card to try it out. You can see for yourself the print quality and hold the book in your hands.
H.M. Ward at B&N in NYC with the cover model and an amazing fan.
I’ve had the opportunity to beta test the platform and user interface for Nook Press. The hardcovers are beautiful. I’ll post a picture in a few days after the reveal. The paperbacks are gorgeous. The user interface is easy to understand and has options for step-by-step directions. Or if you’re like me and have experience, you can enter the info, upload the files, and be done in a snap. You can get print proofs (use that coupon code and grab a few for free), and they ship quickly. Can you say easy?
Here’s the thing that everyone has been asking me about–the opportunity with B&N stores. Not only can you see your printed books on a shelf, but they’re able to offer in-store events. You can sign at your local B&N and meet your fans! For many self-published authors that’s been a pipe dream. For those at the top of their game, we had to pry the doors open and shove through. That was the only way deals happened, and it was only for the select writers who sold millions of books and had huge cahones with matching budgets. I’ve sold 12 million books since 2013. The jaws of life wouldn’t open some doors, even for me.
In April, I had a signing and Q&A at the B&N in New York City. The cover model flew out and I had an amazing time chatting with fans that evening. I got to see my books in the store and take a look at the promotional material that announced my event. It was really cool.
Now, these options are open to every writer who can meet a very reasonable set of criteria. You don’t have to sell millions of copies to be considered. Nook Press made the opportunities available starting at 500 copies of a single title sold in a year. The completed details are listed below in the official press release that came out this morning.
The fledgling author will sell about 200 copies of their book. This isn’t a door that’s open for them at this point. However, for authors who work hard and meet these very significant milestones, you now have options to spread your wings and fly. Selling 201 books is a huge accomplishment. It means you did it. You got out there and got started. 500 and 1000 copies are huge achievements. It means you defied the odds and now you’re in the top tier of professional writers. It shows you’re serious and that you have a product people want. Working hand in hand with a bookstore that has the ability to increase your visibility is a tremendous achievement. In my opinion, that’s a game changer. It’s a great time to be an Indie author!

Volume FIVE in the SECRETS & LIES series by H.M. Ward is a hot, sexy new adult romance series filled with humor and incredibly bad luck.
DESCRIPTION:
They say the best way to get over a broken heart is a random hook-up. So my new BFF is dragging me to a bar. All I have to do is wear a slutty dress, choose a dude, and do the deed, right? The thing is, this isn’t me. I’m the good girl — the one who has sex for love. But, since the love of my life is shacked up with someone else, I guess it’s time to move on.
One night, one time. That’s all. I’ll have a clean slate.
A guy with a sketch pad, sitting alone, catches my eye. I’m a sucker for the artistic type with dark hair and bright blue eyes. Soon we’re in his hotel room doing things I’ve never done. His smoldering body, perfectly toned with hot skin and a firm touch, has my mind reeling with the things to come. We’re both naked and glistening with sweat, breathless.
And then he darts, right before doing the deed, abandoning me in his room. He doesn’t return.
A week later I see him again, and realize that he wasn’t just a random guy–he’s my teacher. My heart clenches at the massive mistake, and I still don’t grasp the extent of it. I should have run and never looked back.
“You’ll meet some really cool people and one sapphired eyed oh so sexy and lickable.” ~Michelle
“The chemistry between Mystery Man and Kerry is crazy!” ~Anita P.
“Secrets & Lies adds more layers to the Ferro saga.” ~Julie
“Holly’s girl characters are always so funny, and witty.” ~Emily
