Some of her treasured possessions are several much-loved books by Marguerite Henry. She has taken one of the books, Five O’clock Charlie, into classrooms for the Great American Teach-In and shared the story with children, along with the letter she received from Ms. Henry in response to her fan letter to the author.

 Sometimes, I wish I weren’t a Hawke…especially because I’m in love with one.
Years of living on the streets taught me one hard lesson…
Don’t trust anyone.
People are inherently bad and will do bad things any chance they get.
So, when the Hawkes took me under their wings…
I put up walls so high that no one could ever climb over them.
Most stopped trying.
It was the way I liked it.
Locked away in my own little world.
Protected from anything that could hurt me.
But the very person I try so hard to keep out is the only one I want to let in.
I dream about her touch.
Crave her in a way I have no right to.
She’s my best friend’s older sister.
No matter what…I have to keep my hands off Angelina…
Because she’s a Hawke.

Reticent Hawke is the second book in The Hawke Family Second Generation Series from USA Today Bestselling Author Gwyn McNamee. Grab this angsty forbidden, billionaire, reverse age gap, best friend’s older sister, contemporary romance about a broken man, an older woman, a danger neither of them sees coming, and desire neither of them can deny.

High school senior Claire Jackson’s life shatters after an unplanned pregnancy.

Not hers, her mother’s.

With no father named on baby Harry’s birth certificate and their mother sinking into despair, Claire finds herself knee deep in diapers, streams of baby barf, and mountains of laundry. Not only does Harry rob Claire of her freedom, but also her future when her mother uses her college funds for day care.

Claire’s uncle offers to replenish the funds on the condition Harry is given up for adoption. With a troubled and unstable mother, Claire must take control and choose: trade Harry for money and return to her former life, or fight for him.

The stakes run high when a baby is involved, and the choices are complicated.

Lois is a former high school chemistry teacher and former head science teacher at Science in the City Summer Camp in Philadelphia. She has also been an adjunct science teacher at University of South Florida. Since retiring, she continues to take science classes. Her class in Forensic Biology led to Little Red, The Detective, in which Red is studying fingerprint identification, so she can tell that “Grandma” isn’t who she says she is.

Lois has taken so many science classes that she believes science is the solution to almost every problem, including the dilemmas in fairy tales. She has invented what she calls Science Folktales. In each science-based tale, the protagonist achieves a better ending than the original because of learning scientific principles. She has turned some of these tales into plays.

She has also created a series of Mermaid Science stories, which make use of water science.

Lois is married to the love of her life. She has two children, four grandchildren and a dog.

These elinefae are not like the others….

Elan and Arwyn are Watchers, guardians of their clan and brothers-in-arms.

Along with their other best friend, Pryderi, they pledged an oath long ago not to get romantically involved with one another. Their bond meant more than a brief tumble in the Den of Sin. They will not allow history to repeat itself and destroy everything they hold dear.

But when Pryderi comes back from his honeymoon with his soul-matched mate, something shifts. An unsettling distance wedges itself into their lives.

On her eighteenth birthday, Lilianna Mayberry survived every woman’s worst nightmare.

Sure, she was left with permanent scars and her psyche was shattered, but she’s alive.

In fact, she’s almost thriving.

Settled into her rebuilt life with her longtime love, Venom, supported by their best friend, Slash, and empowered by the motorcycle club that loves her dearly, Lily has grasped her dreams with both hands and made them her b!tch.

Until the monster from her past returns prematurely, and everything she thought she knew gets turned on its head once again. Her father is up to his old tricks. The Black Shamrocks MC is splintering down the middle. Even her best friend turns out to be less than trustworthy.

Almost five years ago, Lily stood tall against the forces trying to take her down. Her loyalty to the Shamrocks never wavered. She literally bled for their freedom.

So why is she still caught in a web of the Kingsley family’s making?

Tempting Fate is the first book in the Duplicity trilogy. Part of Bella Faust’s Black Shamrocks MC (Australia) series, this dark, psychological romance is a steamy and taboo tale filled with angst, betrayal, and lust set within a love triangle everyone but Lily saw coming.

The first book in the series, Craving Control, is also available. It should be read before the Duplicity trilogy to best appreciate the overall storyline. This book can be accessed as a welcome gift after subscribing to the Faust 411 reader update at https://www.subscribepage.com/the411

A fan of erotic psychological thrillers that are full of steam and angst, dark romance that doesn’t shy away from the pain and violence of life, but a devoted hater of the way the villain is always magically redeemed by his love for the heroine or the amazing coincidence whereby the hero just happens to sweep in and save his woman before she can really be hurt, Bella Faust spent years hoping that her favourite dark romance authors would go balls to the wall in one of their dark romance books… or even better write a whole series of these stories.

During that period of misguided longing, she worked as a finance manager at her local university, studied for her MBA, completed a BA in English, raised her two kids, taught English to high schoolers, volunteered as a Lifeline crisis counsellor, drove her husband mad with her complaints about the dearth of true dark psychological romance books, and dipped her toe into ghost-writing and editing.

Then she decided to write the books she wants to read for her-damn-self.

And, now, she’s inviting you inside her madness… as long as you make sure to check the trigger warnings beforehand!

In tenth-century Ireland, a monk records the legend of a mythical treasure that can only be accessed with three ancient rings. A thousand years later, Ciarán and Aodhán Donnelly discover the manuscript and are convinced the tale refers to the relics of their fifth-century priesthood. But the tome warns of dire consequences for any who attempt to retrieve the fabled cache without the rings.
Ciarán and Aodhán expected no less of their priestly ancestors, so they’re not in the least bit deterred. After all, they already have two rings. All they need to do is locate a third, and they can recover the hidden artifacts for the museum.
Their light-hearted treasure hunt turns deadly, however, when they discover they’re not the only ones searching for the trove of sacred artifacts. Worse yet, it becomes all too clear that their rivals will stop at nothing to win the prize. First, however, the would-be thieves will need to acquire the rings Ciarán and Aodhán already possess, and the brothers have no intention of relinquishing them without a fight. But are they up to the task of defeating these unknown brigands or will their past finally catch up with them?

If Gabby King’s secret is made public, it could destroy her boyfriend, Richard Wright’s, political campaign to be the next governor of Texas. The citizens of Texas may forgive a candidate for fathering a child out of wedlock, but learning of a son resulting from an affair with a married woman invites a scandal.

         Wayne King, Gabby’s father, the influential oil baron, and cattle rancher, encourages his daughter to accept his plan to get her and Wright into the governor’s mansion. However, Richard’s campaign manager, Amanda Jason, wants Wright and the title of Texas’s first lady and will stop at nothing to take Gabby’s place.  

         The campaign trail invites Gabby to the adventurous world of Formula One Racing, where a team engineer speaks a surprising truth that unsettles her world. Caught in a whirlwind of making dreams come true for others, Gabby needs wisdom to hear her inner voice before it’s too late.

Genre – Cozy Mystery, Women’s Fiction
Page Count – 97
Cover Designer – Donna Dean

Outsiders thought that Oaken Acres was a quiet, peaceful haven for well-off retirees, but no! People! The fact is, Hazel thought, most novelists didn’t know much about real murders. Very few people murdered for love or money or fear. People murdered because someone else was really pissing them off.

A short, darkly funny novella about five women who live in an upscale gated community where the drama of daily life revolves around secrets, community garden politics, dogs, drones, golfers, and the Oxford comma.

She’s a smart, pretty PR rep with a stalker. He’s a handsome former SEAL itching for a problem to solve. Will the duo catch the stalker before she becomes headline news?

After a cunning stalker invades her life, Keira O’Ryan fights for her safety, sanity—and survival. Her faceless predator deftly eludes the Montana police. As the threat grows, Keira turns to her new neighbor for help.

Private military contractor Cade Hartford, antsy from office duty while rehabbing, jumps at the chance to help the gorgeous girl next door. He knows better than to mix business with pleasure, but joining forces proves to be a heady aphrodisiac.

Her stalker escalates his sinister game, and Keira is no longer certain who she can trust. Cade finds he must outwit a deadly adversary who is always one step ahead.

Can he uncover the stalker’s identity in time to save Keira, or risk losing her forever?

Mavery Ellscott’s first foray into writing was not romantic suspense. She wrote and published a neighborhood newspaper. A pretty big endeavor for an eight-year-old armed with scrap paper and her dad’s old typewriter. Total circulation—two. Fortunately, her later publications fared better. She’s even made it beyond the first round in a contest or two.

A conservationist, Mavery has won a few environmental awards. So, it’s no surprise she yearns to write a high-speed chase with eco-friendly cars.

As champion of the Goddess of Fate, Marluck had it all: fame, power, status—until his divine favor was stripped while fighting a freakish fledgling god-beast. He somehow became an Oathbreaker: a reviled fallen paladin, scorned by all. A sentence from which most never recover.

Bereft of his powers and cast down lower than the cobbles, Marluck stumbles across the Oathbreakers Guild, where other ex-holy warriors like himself meet weekly and share their woes amid cheap ale.

It helps, for a time. But when a stranger in the group whispers of four holy sites where other Oathbreakers found favor once more, Marluck is helpless to resist the siren song of renewed succor within the fold of his goddess. Together with three eccentrictic paladins of wildly different faiths—each with demons of their own—Marluck sets out on a do-or-die quest to find favor once more.

A hilarious, knockout fantasy from author of The Dragon’s Banker.

Can digging and weeding, planting, and pruning equal love?

Nursing is Holly Cooper’s vocation, and her sanctuary, until she witnesses a murderous attack during emergency surgery. Her childhood fear of never belonging resurfaces. Untethered, she’s following music festivals down Australia’s eastern seaboard, sometimes working as a nurse, sometimes as a volunteer.

Reclusive gardener Christopher (Kit) Silverton needs a nurse for his half-finished research project: the therapeutic power of gardening. In plain English, can digging and weeding, planting, pruning, hacking, or any one of those activities help kids to heal after domestic violence? A survivor himself, he knows what it’s like to live with pain, guilt, and relationships that end in tears.

When Kit’s partner, and on-site nurse, is injured, she suggests her granddaughter, Holly Cooper, as a replacement. Holly has the qualifications, but Kit will need convincing that a pink and green haired free spirit has anything to offer the project.

As the garden develops, passion blooms between Holly and Kit. When security on the site is breached, Kit confronts his worst nightmare. Defending the kids and Holly proves his critics right—violence lives within him. Can Holly overcome her own doubts to prove he’s wrong?

Australian Jennifer Raines writes contemporary romances set mainly, but not exclusively, in Australia – think Malta, Finland, New Zealand or ?. A dreamer and an optimist, her stories are a delicious cocktail of mutual respect, passion and loyalty because she still believes in happily-ever-afters.

Jennifer fell in love with romance as a teenager. Starting with historical romance. Everything in the school library and then a personal treasured collection of Georgette Heyer, hard copies and paperbacks. Historical romance remains comfort food, like vegemite toast, for those times when she feels low, but Georgette Heyer was an early star, under the blankets after lights out using a torch.

Jennifer is a member of Romance Writers of Australia. Three times a finalist in the Emerald competition, including in 2017, 2018 (Taylor’s Law) and 2022 (Quinn by Design – July 2024). She’s a member of Romance Writers of New Zealand, winning the Pacific Hearts competition twice, including in 2019 with Grace Under Fire, the sequel to Taylor’s Law. She’s also a member of Romance Writers of America and has been a finalist in chapter competitions in 2019, 2020 (Winner Orange Rose contemporary romance category – Planting Hope) and 2021 (Taylor’s Law). Jennifer values competitions for the constructive, honest, not always comfortable feedback they provide.

Jennifer loves those days when words flow and the joy of writing makes the hard slog worthwhile. She’s always made up stories about strangers in the street, in a café or strolling through an airport terminal; finding inspiration in snippets of conversations, news items and the sheer puzzle of human interactions.

Jennifer lives in inner-city Sydney, Australia, with the requisite number of partners (1) and animals (2). Her desk overlooks a park which nourishes her soul when she raises her head from her keyboard. She gets some of her best ideas during long yin yoga poses or walking – anywhere. While Jennifer adores historical romance, she chose to write contemporary because she thought (wrongly) it needed less research while she was holding down a full-time job.

When Serena Lambert finds herself in danger, a knight in shining armor charges out of the darkness to her rescue. More shocking than his appearance in the nick of time is the knight himself: Wyatt Tompkins, the copper-haired star of her work nightmares. Just when the Colorado Blizzard’s PR director thought she was finally rid of the biggest pain in her butt and his outrageous tabloid shenanigans … But what’s the saying about bad pennies always turning up?

Being a famous NHL goaltender comes with a lot of perks, on and off the ice, and Wyatt has taken advantage of every single one. But when he becomes the NHL’s most infamous netminder, he loses more than the fringe benefits—he forfeits his roster spot. He wants back in. Sadly, the one person who can help him salvage his image and his livelihood has written him off, despite his heroics.

Wyatt needs Serena’s seriously savvy PR skills, and he’s not beyond leveraging the payback. He’s even willing to overlook her prickly exterior to get her on his side. After all, she’s already familiar with his brand of crazy … and it doesn’t hurt that she’s easy on the eyes. Oh yeah, he’d love to get her between the sheets, but what begins to intrigue him even more is taking a deep dive into her guarded psyche.

Serena is focused on launching her career into the stratosphere and making herself indispensable to the team—as soon as she overcomes a conniving coworker. Helping Wyatt will only steal time and energy from her goal, but she can’t deny that more sizzles beneath his roguish smile. Bit by excruciating bit, Serena peels back the layers to reveal the real heart beating beneath the goalie gear.

Oil and water don’t mix, though … they merely leave an oil slick. Can these two find the right blend and net their happily-ever-after?

Don’t mess with Taz’s family, you won’t live to regret it. 

I may look rough and hard.
But looks can be deceiving.
Sure, my hair is colorful and wild.
However, my penchant for numbers and organization
Has me bordering on the quiet, shy, nerdy type. 

    But when my son is concerned,
  I can get as wild as they come.
  After all, my son is my life.

 

    When my ex comes back with a vengeance,
    I’ll do anything in my power to protect him–
    Even enlist the help of Travis “Enforcer” Milford.
    He and his brothers from the Intruders,
    Coupled with my sisters in the Devil’s Handmaidens,
    Our enemies don’t stand a chance. 

Now, between the two clubs their appearance tells it all.
The men are strong, rugged, handsome, and powerful,
While the women are beautiful, smart, and cunning.
And Enforcer would do anything for me and my son.

 

Believe me, if anyone hurts that boy,
They’ll regret the day they messed with us.

Goldilocks Knows How to Use the Six Simple Machines

She goes bicycling through the woods and comes to the Three Bears home. But fear not! Goldilocks, the curious explorer, is a homewrecker no more.

She has learned to use the six simple machines. She fixes that broken chair. And the wobbly table. She uses an inclined plane to add milk to that too-hot porridge. She leaves the three bears’ home better than she found it. Some tools are too big. Some tools are too small. Goldilocks finds the ones that are just right!

When the bears come home and find her sleeping in that bed, they use a lever to lift her out. Then baby bear asks her for help with her project.

Will Goldilocks figure out how to use the six simple machines to help baby bear?

Lois is a former high school chemistry teacher and former head science teacher at Science in the City Summer Camp in Philadelphia. She has also been an adjunct science teacher at University of South Florida. Since retiring, she continues to take science classes. Her class in Forensic Biology led to Little Red, The Detective, in which Red is studying fingerprint identification, so she can tell that “Grandma” isn’t who she says she is.

Lois has taken so many science classes that she believes science is the solution to almost every problem, including the dilemmas in fairy tales. She has invented what she calls Science Folktales. In each science-based tale, the protagonist achieves a better ending than the original because of learning scientific principles. She has turned some of these tales into plays.

She has also created a series of Mermaid Science stories, which make use of water science.

Lois is married to the love of her life. She has two children, four grandchildren and a dog.

Smooth Hoperator (Love on Tap Book 2) by Sylvie Stewart
Genre – Contemporary Romance
Page Count – 350
After tanking my career in politics, I’m looking for new direction. But my GPS must be broken because it keeps leading me to a kooky librarian’s front steps.
It’s not easy, but I’m doing my best to let go of my old ambitions and embrace the simple life of slinging beer at my family’s brewery. But some powerful players from my past are determined to cause problems for my family and me.
When a chatty local librarian with the wardrobe of a third grader and the optimism of a Disney character begins sticking her nose into my business, I want to tell her to get lost. As fate would have it, though, Sunny and her equally-odd grandfather are my only remaining option to get free of my past for good.
It will take some convincing to get this goofy, goat-loving librarian on board with my risky plan. But if she’ll do things my way, I’ll return the favor by playing her fake boyfriend to make her true love jealous and finally take notice.
But the deeper we get into this venture, the more I realize there’s nothing fake about Sunny at all. Including the way I’m beginning to feel about her.
Smooth Hoperator is book 2 in the Love on Tap series that follows the Brooks family and their adventures in love and brewing beer in Asheville, North Carolina. Each book can be enjoyed as a standalone romantic comedy with an HEA and no cheating.
