Music never judges us but it sometimes helps us question. 

When Robbie is delegated onto Annie and Cat’s project to run a public songwriting contest, he’s convinced he’ll connect romantically with Annie, a single mother on the verge of relaunching her singing career. Annie is furious, and Cat terrifies Robbie. 

Yet the professional and relationship mayhem at Merger Music runs deeper than the contest chaos. 

Annie’s ex-lover, and still legally her manager, reappears after nine years and demands joint custody of their eight-year-old son. Cat’s volunteer work is financially and emotionally draining. How much can her heart bleed for others before someone bleeds for her? 

Robbie’s going to be the hottest manager of rock stars in Australia, if he can just navigate through a negative minefield: his family. And their CEO’s weakness for starlets creates a scandal that threatens to destroy everything they’re all working for.

Can you find your true self, let alone love, in a business built on sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ lies?

The Veil by Wanda Luthman

‘*•.¸ 💫♾️¸.•*’ BOOK SPOTLIGHT SHOWCASE ‘*•.¸ 💫♾️¸.•*’
The Veil by Wanda Luthman
Genre – Inspirational, Family
Page Count – 26
Cover Designer – Mara Reitsma

The Veil is a biblical fiction book about the tearing of the veil inside the Jewish tabernacle when Jesus died on the cross. We don’t know of any eye witnesses to this from the Bible, but in the bibilical fiction story, The Veil, a Priest and a young boy who is being trained to become a Priest are eye witnesses to this spectacular event. Come along on this journey and experience this heart-pounding, fear-inducing, yet awe-inspiring event that holds so much meaning to the Christian faith.

There are references to the tearing of the veil in 3 books of the Bible (Matthew, Mark, and Luke), “the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.” Inside the Tabernacle were two rooms, The Holy Place and the Holiest of Holies. The veil separated these two rooms. The Holiest of Holies was where God lived and only one Priest was allowed to enter that room and only after being both physically and spiritually cleansed.

The tearing of the veil upon Jesus’ death represents what Jesus did for mankind on the cross–he paid the ultimate price for our sin, so we are no longer separated from a Holy God, our Creator. Therefore, we now have access to God because of the blood of Jesus. All of our sins are forgiven and we are made righteous. There is no more guilt to bear for our sins. We are free! Hallejuah!

This book was written to inspire all who read it regardless of age to “live” the experience and contemplate the wonderful gift Jesus gave us when He died upon the cross. But, his death was not final. He was raised from the dead in 3 days as was predicted by ancient prophets in the Bible. Because he was raised from the dead, He overcame death. We do still die physically, but after we die, if we have accepted this free and wonderful gift that Jesus offers us, we will join Him and His Father (God) and the Holy Spirit in Heaven and live for all eternity!

At the end of the book is a prayer and an opportunity to accept Jesus as your personal Savior so that you can accept His gift and live forever! Your eternity starts the moment you accept Jesus into your heart. You will live without guilt or shame from any past or future sins you may commit, if you sincerely repent. You will know LOVE like you have never known it before. You will know JOY and PEACE no matter the circumstances you are in. You will find a FRIEND that will NEVER leave you and that’s Jesus!

She’s living in the shadows.

Evelyn:

Long ago, I had given my heart to someone who callously threw it away, but I put my past behind me until the hurt and betrayal no longer consumed me.

I hid my secret from the world and the monster I knew was in it.

I had a great job, wonderful friends, and my parents…well, sadly, I wasn’t able to choose my parents.

Then one day, I see him again.

The man who stole my heart all those years ago.

 

He’s living in the dark.

Damian:

I never wanted this life.

I thought I had been meant for something greater, but a few wrong turns have led me down this twisted path to here.

Now my life is not my own.

My name, my past, none of it is real.

As an undercover agent in the Sicilian Mafia, I live each day as if it is my last, because I know that it could be.

And then she finds me.

When Evelyn comes back into my life, I try my best to hold her at arm’s length.

No one can hide forever, though.

If I’m not careful, my enemies will find me and try to destroy me.

I’d do anything to keep her, but my time is running out.

 

In a world of lies, one truth will remain.

When I was left to drown underwater, you were the air that kept me breathing.

Genre – Mafia Romance, Romantic Suspense
Cover Designer – TE Black Designs

The last four suspenseful romance books in the Mafia Elite series are full of strong men and women who navigate arranged marriages, forbidden relationships, enemies-to-lovers, and second chances that will keep you guessing until the very end. 

Savage Secrets:  Chicago Mafia boss Marco La Rosa thought the only woman he’d ever loved had died years ago. But when her brother approaches with an arranged marriage contract, he learns she’s very much alive and in danger. 

On-the-run Mafia princess Elena Caruso cut all family ties to survive. When the enemy close in, her only chance for survival is the man who once held her heart. 

Ruthless Heir:  The crown had always been Luc Savino’s. He just didn’t know it until a Chicago Mafia boss persuades him to assume his destiny. But he won’t go without Summer—a one-night stand, and probable spy for the former CEO of his latest hostile takeover. 

Summer isn’t telling him everything, but Luc finds her impossible to resist. As their trust in one another grows, Summer’s enemies close in. Despite all the lies between them, it’s the truth that could tear them apart. 

Collateral Damage:  When Mafia surgeon, Trey La Rosa, met the one woman who could bring him to his knees, grief from his girlfriend’s recent death loomed between them. He forced himself to walk away. Months later, she’s been kidnapped—and he’ll do anything to save her. 

Rivals:  No woman has ever breached the walls of Nico La Rosa’s heart, and he’s content with who he is—a brutal, dark, and broken underboss to the Chicago Mafia. That is until a New York Mafia princess seeks him out. She’s a fantasy with midnight hair, violet eyes, and a body that promises hours of sin—and she needs his aid, but helping her will cost him.

My debut novel The Sleeping Serpent was a psychological drama about a woman’s struggle to break an obsessive bond with her yoga master. Essentially, it was about the redemptive power of love. The Serpent Awakens is a sequel of sorts that can be read on its own. In the tradition of Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse and The Odyssey, the story follows Nico’s journey to the shamans in the mystical Q’eros Nation where he realizes he can’t go home again. Most people search inwardly while others have made arduous quests to find their reason for being by leaving everything behind.

Prior to becoming a writer, I worked as a costumer in the film industry. I now spend my time writing, taking long walks with my husband, going to the gym, painting, and reading. We love to travel between our homes in Los Angeles and New York and enjoy the summer in the mountains.

I learned with the first book that I actually enjoy being quiet and alone with the creative process. This was a big help during the pandemic when I was writing the next book, The Serpent Awakens. Writing has taught me patience and to allow the spirit to guide me – that everything will come in time.

Ashley Pagano has always dreamed of being an artist both figuratively and literally. Her love of art was instilled by her mother who always inspired her to be creative either with a paintbrush or with a pen and paper. As far back as she can remember her life was always centered around introspection, storytelling, and imagination. Because she is so artistic, she took to the idea of creative writing very passionately. Her ability to describe a scene, person, or place, she compares to painting a picture, where she can describe every detail vividly in order to make the reader feel like they’re truly living in the story. Her works of writing usually center around a powerhouse female protagonist (which reflect her own personality), who progresses through many wild and extreme obstacles. Ashley loves to write stories that end with a cliffhanger, that have the reader begging for more and questioning what happens next. Her most recent novel sets the stage for the supernatural romance of the century and includes fairies, vampires, werewolves, witches, and shapeshifters who just love to get in the way of true love. Ashley has won awards for her design, art, and writing. 

Ashley doesn’t believe in down time whatsoever and actually loves having a full “To-Do”list. Ashley is a wife to her wonderful husband, Eric and a mother to two beautiful girls named Dakota and Ember. She is also a Graphic Designer and a health and fitness coach. Her husband and daughters inspire her to be the best person she can be and encourage her to pursue any of her dreams (no matter how extravagant they may be).

Boss’s Vendetta (Sicilian Gods Book 1) by Via Mari

☆❥•*•🌹 •*•❥☆ BOOK SPOTLIGHT SHOWCASE ☆❥•*•🌹 •*•❥☆
Boss’s Vendetta (Sicilian Gods Book 1) by Via Mari
Genre – Mafia, Romantic Suspense

We knew the bloodbath was possible, just not when or how our enemies would strike. In a heart-wrenching minute of blazing guns, the responsibility of getting retribution for the savage Italian Crime Family falls to me, Salvatore Larussio.

The fair-skinned beauty should focus on doing as she’s told and been trained to do. Suture and bandage quickly to stem the flow of Larussio blood. Instead, Natasha boldly defies me, trying to appeal to decency that after today no longer exists.

A man surrounded by fear and deception can sense it, feel it, and smell it in the air. There’s far more to Natasha underneath that icy exterior than she wants me or anyone to know. Despite that, she calls to my tainted soul as though she were put on earth just for me.

When I force the hot-tempered beauty to reveal her secrets, it can be our undoing, or a means to an end for a newly appointed Larussio King.

Or a revelation that will kill even the deepest of love.

Boss’s Vendetta is the explosive first book in the Sicilian Gods series by Via Mari. It is a deliciously dark, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, mafia romance. You will love these novels where the passion is fiery, the loyalty is fierce, and the stakes are high. Each book is a standalone that focuses on different couples in each book. They all have a guaranteed happily ever after, at the conclusion.

Was the death of her college roommate’s father suicide or murder?

That question takes Beck O’Rourke to Miami in this fourth standalone book in the Cozy Mysteries To Die For series.

With three successful murder investigations under her belt, Beck enters the privileged world of her spoiled freshman roommate and her fractured family to take on her first paid job as a private investigator.

Defying Ella (True Platinum Series Book 4) by Morgana Bevan
Genre – Contemporary Romance, Rockstar, Music
Page Count – 350
Cover Designer – Pretty Little Design Co.

One cabin, one badly timed snowstorm, and one asshole drummer. What could possibly go wrong?

He has it – that thing. You know the one I mean, right?

It’s not just the natural-born talent that cascades from him in musical waves when he’s on stage, and it’s more than drive, more than passion.

It’s the one indescribable thing I can’t nail down for myself, and the man I despise more than anything right now, is throwing it away like it’s nothing. It’s infuriating.

He’s infuriating.

I didn’t expect to spend so much time with him, near him, on this tour. And so, when the opportunity arose to escape to the quiet of the cabin, I took it. Only for the self-obsessed prick to turn up not long after.

Now, I can’t escape him and the reminders of the week we shared, what feels like a lifetime ago.

He’s got what I want, what I need. But can he help me find mine? And do I even want him to?

Defying Ella is a steamy rockstar romance. It is the fourth book following the Rhiannon men and the fourth in the True Platinum Series. Can be read as a standalone.

If you love bad boy rock stars with a secret soft side meeting their match in an optimistic, strong-willed heroine, then Defying Ella is for you.

Euphoric Wonderland is Ryan Becker’s seminal literary work which was largely inspired by the relationship he has with his parents, both of whom are poets in their own rights and words. His father is a self-taught classical pianist, as well as an avid Shakespeare fan and aficionado. Those two elements of the fine arts were instilled in Ryan at an early age and were quickly absorbed through his father’s reading to him about famous musicians and writers.  

As an avid collector of vinyl records, upon hearing the music of The Beatles for the first time, specifically their Abbey Road album, Ryan knew his destiny was to write. “Every step of this life’s journey is a learning experience,” proclaims Mr. Becker. He further adds, “The Beatles taught me how not to have hate in my heart, why we must help people in need, and to never hesitate to openly express my feelings in any situation.”  

Ryan credits his even-tempered, soft-spoken mother for his development as a human being. He tries to emulate her cool-under-pressure manner as well as her kind and empathetic heart, which she shares with anyone in need. It is those characteristics he’s inherited that allow him to express himself through his writing.  

Ryan’s childhood carried with it some undeniably emotional bumps and bruises, explaining “Everyone has struggles, and many have their inner demons. The only way for me to exorcize them is by taking them out of my brain and putting them down on paper.”  

Writing can be a wonderful escape from reality as well as a fantastic way of feeling comfort within one’s true reality.  

Watching reruns of Smallville on repeat, Ryan asserts that the character of Clark Kent, portrayed by Tom Welling, has taught him a few things about growing up. For example, it helped him learn how to speak and interact better with others—trust in people who treat him right and never disregard someone who has his best interests at heart.  

It is why he proclaims, “Don’t ever let anyone take a torch to your dreams. Use that fire to motivate you to achieve your greatness, no matter in which arena you might be endeavoring!”

When not writing, readers can find Landra reviewing books, cooking up a storm, deeply immersed in a mad game of Scrabble or Rummy variation, and searching for moments to laugh and smile through it all.

She lives in the wilds of Northwest Arkansas with her partner and two children.

Cursed into the body of a werewolf, Émilien Elasalor longs for a cure that will return him to his true Elven form so he can win back the love of his wife, Hel. But knowing what an impossibility that is, he throws himself into his brother and sister-in-law’s disappearance, vowing to stop at nothing to find them. 

Hel is regarded as the ice queen, but underneath that cold exterior is a heart that beats for the daughter she was forced to leave behind—and for the Elf who stole a slice of her soul so long ago. When the dead start disappearing from her realm, she and Émilien are thrust together to discover who is behind this new threat, making the bone-chilling discovery that more is at stake than their hearts—the life of their only daughter. 

Can they forge a truce long enough to save her—and the whole of the Nine Worlds—or will their pasts destroy their future?

And their willingness to risk everything… 

Rafael Marroquin believes he’s cursed. He refuses to get close to people, because when he does, they get hurt. To his friends in Moon Harbor, Raf is known as the quiet, reliable one who never causes trouble. But if the town found out about his tragic past, they’d think differently. 

After the death of her parents, everyone in town has treated Ellie Waters as delicate. All she wants is to live life on her terms and carve her own path. And maybe finally hook up with Rafael, the man she’s secretly pined for since she was a teen. Ellie’s all grown up now, but Raf still sees her as his best friend’s kid sister—or does he? 

But just as their friendship finally gives way to all-consuming chemistry, the past rears its ugly head and threatens everything. Their town is at risk. Ellie is in danger. And trouble comes for Raf, in more ways than one. 

Can they save each other before it’s too late? And can their love survive?
