🖤 Rebels, your Monday just got a whole lot hotter...

Lily R. Steele

🖤 Welcome Back, Rebels

Happy Monday!

Okay... you may have noticed things look a little different around here.

That's because the Rebellion has been doing some moving. 😂

We've officially moved into a brand-new newsletter home, AND the new Lily R. Steele website is live!

I've been working behind the scenes to bring everything together so that when you step into Lily R. Steele's world—whether it's through my books, my website, or one of these emails—it actually feels like you're stepping into the Rebellion.

Dark. Southern. A little dangerous.

And very much ours. 🖤

I'm still getting settled into the new newsletter platform, so you may see me moving things around over the next few emails while I figure out exactly where I want all the furniture.

But the important things aren't changing.

I'm still here.

The Blackstones are still causing problems.

Weston is still making questionable decisions in the name of protecting Rowan.

And I'm still going to enable your completely irresponsible relationship with fictional men.

Actually...

Let's work on that last one today. 😈

I've got two very different men waiting for you below, plus TWO collections to go digging through.

But before we corrupt your Monday...

Come see our new home.

Take a look around, meet the Blackstones, explore the books, and see what I've been building for you.


🔥 PICK YOUR POISON

Apparently today we're choosing between a billionaire who doesn't particularly care about rules...

and an outlaw who'd probably prefer to set the rulebook on fire.

Decisions, decisions.

💋 Kissing Sexy Mr. Right Now

by Ava L'Angelique

⭐ 4.5 stars on Amazon

He's gorgeous. He's powerful. He's a billionaire.

And he definitely wasn't supposed to touch her.

Carly Soulflame finally has the independence she's been craving when Mason Wolcroft walks into her world—and suddenly the bishop's daughter finds herself caught between everything she was taught she should want and the man her body has very different plans for.

We're talking forbidden attraction, workplace tension, billionaire power, secret agendas, and serious heat.

And Mason?

Apparently permission isn't really his thing.

When the bishop's daughter meets the billionaire... somebody's getting saved.

Or ruined.

Honestly, Rebels?

I'm rooting for ruined. 😏

 

🏍️ OR MAYBE YOU LIKE YOUR MEN A LITTLE MORE... OUTLAWED

🖤 Outlaw Redemption

by Linny Lawless

Ajax doesn't do relationships.

He rides. He fights. And women?

One night only.

At least that's the plan.

Ajax is a dangerous, over-the-top alpha outlaw and member of the Berzerkers MC. After losing his VP patch, he heads to Virginia as a Nomad—and ends up saving Lou from a brutal attack.

She knows exactly what she wants from him.

More.

Unfortunately, complications aren't exactly Ajax's thing.

Until his past, his club, and the people entering his life start forcing him to decide what redemption might actually look like.

If your book-boyfriend requirements include gritty MC romance, alpha outlaws, danger, suspense, motorcycles, and men who are probably terrible for your blood pressure...

There you go. 🖤

 

📚 NOW LET'S DO SOME DAMAGE

Okay, so maybe neither one was enough.

I understand.

That's why I brought reinforcements. 😂

I've got TWO collections for you to dig through today, depending on what kind of trouble you're looking for.

🥀 Dark Desires & Gothic Secrets

Want something darker?

This collection is where I'd start.

We're talking the kind of stories that belong with the lights down, the doors locked, and absolutely nobody asking why you've been staring at your Kindle for three hours.

Dark desires.

Gothic secrets.

Dangerous men.

You know...

Tuesday's probably already ruined anyway.


🔥 FREE Steamy Romance Books!

And then there's my favorite four-letter word...

FREE.

You thought I was about to use a different four-letter word that starts with F, didn't you?

Behave, Rebels. 😏

Although, to be fair... you know me too well.

😂

A whole collection of steamy romance books waiting for you to explore without doing any additional damage to the book budget.

Which means technically...

we're being financially responsible.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 😂

Go ahead.

Fill the Kindle.


🐎🖤 THE OUTLAW WANTS YOU...

Before you go running off with somebody else's fictional man, I'm bringing you right back where you belong.

Blackstone.

Because while you've been meeting billionaires and outlaws today...

I've been spending my time with one particular Outlaw.

And UNTAMED ARC applications are officially OPEN.

We're building the ARC team early this time because UNTAMED is shaping up to be longer, darker, and more deeply woven into the Blackstone world than the books before it.

ARC spots will be limited and application-based.

And before beginning UNTAMED, selected ARC readers will need to have read:

🥀 BEFORE THE LIES

🥃 BOUND

🖤 RUINED

Yes.

All three.

Because the little things matter in this family.

Names matter.

Dates matter.

Things you may have completely forgotten about because you thought they weren't important...

Well.

You might want to remember them. 👀

Haven't read all three yet?

You can still apply.

That's exactly why we're starting early—you'll have time to catch up before UNTAMED ARC copies are distributed.

And no, you don't need thousands of followers.

You don't need to be a BookToker.

You don't need a perfectly curated Bookstagram.

I'm looking for readers who actually read the damn ARCs they request. 😂

If that's you...

Weston is waiting.

Weston would probably tell you he doesn't need an ARC team.

Good thing nobody asked him.


🖤 Until Next Time, Rebels...

I think that's enough corruption for one Monday.

Probably.

Take a look around our new home, go find yourself a billionaire or an outlaw, grab a few free books while you're at it, and if you're brave enough...

throw your name into the hat for Weston.

I'll be over here writing UNTAMED and pretending these Blackstone men listen to me.

Spoiler:

They don't.

Stay a little dangerous.
XoXo,
