Kensington Publishing Corp. has announced an exclusive partnership with
retailer BooksA-Million to launch Lyrical High Notes, a new program through
which select titles from the publisher’s digital imprint will be brought
to print for the first time. These special editions will be made available
for a limited period exclusively at Books-A-Million as trade paperbacks with a
consumer-friendly price point of $12.95.
Steven Zacharius, President and CEO of Kensington Publishing Corp, said,
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Books-A-Million to extend the readership
of these fresh and edgy books. Each of the titles chosen for the Lyrical High
Notes program was highly successful in its e-only format, and these special
printed editions will give our digital-first authors the retail presence that
they deserve.”
The program will launch in November 2014 with the release of three USA
Today bestselling romances previously available only as eBooks: Consumed by
Rebecca Zanetti, Shadowed by Rebecca Zanetti and Playing the Game by M. Q.
Barber. Following the release of two more trade paperbacks in January 2015,
Crossing the Line by M.Q. Barber and Better than Perfect by Kristina Mathews,
the program will continue with one new release per month for the remainder of
the year. Books-A-Million will be the exclusive retailer for the Lyrical High
Notes trade paperback editions for each title’s initial three months in print.
Margaret Terwey, Senior Buyer, Books-A-Million, commented, “I’m so
excited to partner with Kensington for the opportunity to offer bestselling
eBooks in print format exclusively for Books-A-Million customers.”
Kensington and Books-A-Million also have teamed up on a multi-channel
campaign to promote the launch of the new program through online, social media,
event and print marketing. In addition, a “Lyrical High Notes Welcome
Committee” of bloggers will be tapped to support the arrival of the new books
in print with online giveaways and virtual events.

Shadowed (Dark Protectors #6)
Summary from Goodreads:
Jase Kayrs was the fun brother. The warm, charming, easy-going brother of
the vampire leaders. Until he was taken and tortured by demons with their evil
mind tricks for nearly five years. Upon his return, he’s dark, violent, and not
the man they all thought they knew. Not the man he once was. He’s haunted that
the only reason the demons would have let him live was to use him as a weapon
against his family—but he can’t figure out when or how he’ll explode. Plus,
once again the demons are after Jase with a vengeance…or rather, a female demon
he rejected is out to destroy him.
Then the king asks Jase for a favor…a big one. To mate with one of their
allies in order to save her. She’s everything that’s good and light in the
world…while he’s at home with darkness. Yet he agrees…knowing mating may be the
only chance to save them both.

Summary from Goodreads:
She expects dinner with neighbors, but gets sex with a side of safewords.
Mechanical engineer Alice still drools over her sexy neighbors a year
after she’s moved in. She can’t decide whether they’re roommates or partners,
but either way, they spark a wanton desire in her that has her imagination--and
vibrator--working overtime.
Henry, director of everything around him, studies human nature and
applies philosophies to his paintings as well as his relationships. Quirky,
polite to a fault, and formal, he follows his own code of honor even when it
means denying himself.
Flirtatious and playful, Jay needs stability, guidance, and to please
others. His antics counterbalance Henry’s stuffy ways while he brings a level
of vulnerability and fun to everything the trio does.
BDSM play with the enigmatic artist and flirtatious joker across the hall
allows Alice to put aside the linear thought processes which have kept her
unsatisfied and distant with other lovers. She must dismiss her preconception
of love, sacrificing her independence, if she’s to find a permanent place in
their beds and hearts.
CONTENT WARNING: Explicit sex, graphic language, BDSM, bondage, spanking,
M/M/F menage.
