GORGEOUS MISERY COVER REVEAL GIVEAWAY

  • September 23, 2021
  • 82 Comments
  • JA Huss

I meant to release this book, and the next one in this series, last winter but it was just not going to be possible. So I know that you guys have been waiting patiently for me to get back to this series and I appreciate that patience. Gorgeous Misery is the third book in the Creeping Beautiful series and it’s a switch from the characters we’ve been following so far. Without getting in to spoilers I will say that long-time (and much-loved) characters from the The Company series are back for your pleasure.

The Creeping Beautiful series is a spin-off of The Company and while you could read Creeping Beautiful without spoiling anything in those other books, I would not recommend that you keep going with Pretty Nightmare and Gorgeous Misery if you don’t want certain plot points in The Company series spoiled for you as the events that take place in Creeping Beautiful series also take place in The Company series from the viewpoint of new and distant characters.

I almost never tell readers to avoid certain books in this way but I feel strongly about it this time. However, if you have no plans to go backwards and do not wish to read The Company and only want to enjoy this series (and so will never even know the HUGE spoiler contained within the pages of Pretty Nightmare and Gorgeous Misery) by all means, be my guest and enjoy.

This book will release on January 25, 2022 and the ebook and paperback will release with the audiobook (knock on wood that the fucking world doesn’t go up in flames again). 

And so, without further ado — here is the gorgeous cover for GORGEOUS MISERY.

 

GORGEOUS MISERY

Creeping Beautiful #3
By JA Huss
Releasing January 25, 2022
Romantic Suspense

COVER MODEL: ANDREW BIERNAT
COVER PHOTO: WANDER AGUIAR

DESCRIPTION

Wendy Gale isn’t the kind of girl you marry. She’s not even the kind of girl you date. She’s not a friend with benefits, she’s not a one-night-stand, and regardless of what she thinks, she has never been a rebound.

Wendy Gale is kind of girl you kidnap and lock in your basement so she can’t ever escape. She’s the kind of girl you tie up. You put a collar on her. A leash. Handcuffs. You chain her to things and gag her mouth. A blindfold isn’t a bad idea, either.

Because Wendy Gale is the kind of girl you grab on to—any way you can—and you never let go.

Wendy. Babe. You only need to know one thing about me, OK?

I will never let go.

Gorgeous Misery is a dark romantic thriller about one man’s desperate desire to save the woman he loves at all costs. It is the third book in the Creeping Beautiful series and must be read in order.

PRE-ORDER

GORGEOUS MISERY WILL BE ON SALE AT APPLE SHOULD THEY EVER GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER AND PUBLISH IT. SO IF YOU BUY YOUR BOOKS FROM APPLE, PLEASE BE PATIENT. IT’S OUT OF MY CONTROL. 

I’M NOT SURE WHEN THE AUDIBLE PRE-ORDER WILL GO UP BUT I THINK IT WILL BE SOON. THIS MANUSCRIPT IS GOING TO NARRATORS THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER. 

THIS SERIES IS NOT IN KINDLE UNLIMITED AND I DON’T KNOW IF OR WHEN IT EVER WILL BE.

    We don’t have much planned for the holidays yet. We’d planned to go away for the holidays before the pandemic hit, to start a new tradition after my Da died because it just wasn’t the same without him at home, and we thought maybe we could go this year, but we’re both vaccinated, but still high risk from chronic conditions, so that’s probably not happening now either. So we’ll be home again. 🤷🏻‍♀️ What can you do, right? We’ll do it next year hopefully. 🎄🤞🏼💕

    That cover is sexy! I can’t wait to get to this series! I’m just starting Misters, but I took a side trip to read Jordan’s Game series. I’m so intrigued by the big reveal in the Creeping Beautiful series that I’m torn between Misters and Jordan’s Game. It’s a win win dilemma! 😂
    I haven’t even thought about the holidays yet because next month my husband and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and we’re looking for a destination. We were supposed to go to Vegas but decided we need somewhere closer because we don’t want to fly.
    When the holidays do come God willing we’ll do our annual dinner at my mom’s with a good old fashioned Thanksgiving feast!

Sacred Trinity

THE DANGER IN THE DAMAGE

A soldier searching for redemption.
A man addicted to control.
And the woman caught between them…

Ean Shephard knows trouble when he sees it and Olive Creed is the kind of trouble that can burn his whole world down. As Collin Creed’s baby sister, she’s completely off-limits. But her quiet strength, combined with her sad vulnerability, keeps pulling him closer. Shep came to Edge Security to escape his past, but falling for Olive could ruin his second chance and the fragile peace he’s fought so hard to find.

Brose Sinclair has always played the long game. He and Olive are more than just partners inside the shadow organization they both work for, they’re lovers. His absolute authority keeps her on track and Olive likes it that way. But her sudden attraction to their target threatens everything they’ve worked for and for the first time, Brose finds himself questioning whether control is enough to keep Olive by his side.

Olive Creed has spent her life learning to play her role perfectly. She can’t afford to mess up. Not with Brose watching her every move, looking for mistakes. Mistakes she sometimes makes on purpose just to spur on his titillating punishment. But as she starts to fall for her target and her world begins to crumble beneath her feet, Olive finds herself wondering—which one of these two men would truly be there in her darkest hour?

Brose—the one who owns her mind?

Or Shep—the one who wants her heart?

The Danger in the Damaged is a battlefield of betrayal and control, where loyalty is a weapon and obsession takes no prisoners. It’s a best-friend’s-little-sister romance caught in the crossfire of dark secrets and mind games—and this time, Collin Creed isn’t the one calling the shots.

Inside the pages you’ll find…

Enemies to Lovers
Best Friend’s Sister
Power Dynamics
Forbidden Love
Dark Protector
Forced Proximity
Possessive Love
Morally Gray Characters
Damaged Heroes
Redemption Arc

THE RUMBLE AND THE GLORY

Old sins rise, secrets burn, and this small town’s revival is ready to blow. Love this dangerous always leaves a mark. Enemies-to-Lovers meets Touch-Her-and-Die.
