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.

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.
About the Author
M.Q. Barber likes
to get lost in thought. She writes things down so she can find herself again.
Often found staring off into space or frantically scratching words on sticky
notes, M.Q. lives with one very tolerant, easily amused husband and one very
tolerant, easily amused puppy. She has a soft spot for romances that explore
the inner workings of the heart and mind alongside all that steamy physical
exertion. She loves memorable characters, witty banter, and heartfelt emotion
in any genre. The former Midwestern gal is the author of the Neighborly
Affection contemporary romance series. Pick a safeword, grab a partner or two,
and jump in.
