I wasn’t looking for a mate, especially if said mate is a bloodsucker with a mysterious past.
See, me and vampires, we’ve got history. I’ve got no warm feelings for them after nearly meeting my maker at their hands. They terrify me. No one knows how deep the fear runs, and how much I fight it every day when I have to look at my mate.
As if things aren’t bad enough, my blood is the only thing that’s keeping Tavian from going mad from starvation. Literally, no other blood will do.
When I’m sent on a mission for the Ravenswing Coven, my fear meets Tavian’s past, not only pushing me to my limit, but making me see the humanity in my mate, despite him being undead.
If I come out of this alive, will I finally conquer my fear and be ready to make our bond official?

Cover Designer – Get Covers
My life just hit the skids, hard. After a drug scandal blew up in my face, I’m out of a team, my endorsements are gone, and my bank account’s pretty much empty. So now I’m stuck trying to sell my house to scrape together some cash. The kicker? I’ve got to work with Paige Anderson, the real estate agent with a smile that could light up a room – and the woman I made a complete fool of myself with not too long ago.
Paige has got it all together when it comes to selling houses, but her personal life? Not so much. Her marriage is on the rocks, and she’s doing everything she can to keep it from falling apart. The last thing she needs is to deal with a washed-up, scandal-ridden hockey player like me. But she’s gunning for that big commission, and I guess that’s enough to keep her in the game. Funny thing is, somewhere along the way, I end up being the one she turns to when things get rough.
I didn’t see it coming, but I start to catch real feelings for Paige. It’s a wake-up call that maybe it’s time for me to get my act together and start thinking about what comes next. But Paige has her own baggage, and she’s scared I’ll just end up hurting her like every other guy has.
If we’re going to make this work, we’ve both got to put our fears on ice and take a shot at something real. No guarantees, but maybe, just maybe, we can make it to our own version of a happily-ever-after.

The clock is ticking.
Within forty-eight hours, another body shows up. No one has an alibi, but neither do they have a motive.

Genre – Romantic Comedy
Page Count – 325
Cover Designer – Sylvie Stewart
I’m a hot-headed pro hockey player with a reputation for two things: reckless fights on the ice and a taste for older women off of it. But this time I might just be in over my head with an older single mom.
With the team’s new head coach on my case, I can’t afford any more screw-ups. He thinks I need to grow up, and I’m out to prove I can get my act together once and for all. In fact, I just hired a realtor to help me buy a house. How’s that for grown up?
Except the realtor turns out to be the quiet, captivating single mom of a boy I mentor on a youth hockey league. I should keep things strictly business, but she knocks me off my skates with those pencil skirts and mom voice.
Molly insists she’s too old for me, and I say opposites attract. As I fight for my spot on the ice and battle some personal demons, she’s juggling an unpredictable pre-teen, an ex who belongs in the penalty box, and a case of insomnia that has me calling new plays between the sheets.
If I push too hard, I know she’ll run. But there’s no way I’m throwing in the towel–not when I’ve realized her heart is the only thing worth fighting for.
Sleepless Nights and Hockey Fights is a reverse age gap, single mom pro hockey romance with all the spice and a game-winning HEA. It’s the fourth book in the Hot Flash Hookups series, and can be read as a standalone.
Tropes:
Reverse age gap
Opposites attract

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.

Love You Better by Kallyn Jones

Blake Brady is gruff and irresistibly chiseled, with a just-right amount of salt in his hair to make me swoon. He’s a talented restaurateur and devoted dad to his daughter. In other words, he’s the only man who has ever tempted my confirmed bachelorette status.
Then I find out Blake’s business is in crisis, thanks to the embezzling accountant I recommended when I walked away from him three years ago. He says my skills with numbers make me the only person he trusts to turn his restaurant around. Heaven help me, because I can’t say no to his gorgeous, weary eyes.
His brooding might as well be a form or foreplay, but it’s the man behind the hard shell who draws me in again. When Blake proposes a no-strings-attached office fling, I’m hooked. It’s only a bit of fun. No one’s talking about the L-word. Except when he finally breaks through my defenses, it becomes impossible to keep Blake and his precious girl at arm’s length.

The Assassin’s Guide to Falling in Love (The Ladies League, Book One) by Sorcha Mowbray

An assassin and her mark might find love amidst the turmoil of a technology war between steam and electricity if they can learn to trust each other…
Louisa Stanton, madame and assassin, has another assignment to eliminate an enemy of the Crown. Normally she does her duty without asking too many questions, but something about this assignment has her hesitating. And it’s not just the blue-grey gaze of the handsome lord she was sent to kill.
John Griffin, the Earl of Melton, can imagine more than one reason an assassin is standing in his house with a blade pressed to his neck. Too bad he has no intention of dying. Not even at the hands of the darkly sensual assassin sent to kill him.
When he convinces her to help him find who ordered his death, nothing about their alliance goes as planned. Not when his mother mistakes his would-be-killer for his fiancé, and not when they steam up the sheets. The question is, can they discover who is behind his kill order before everything falls apart in a tangle of secrets and lies?

Strider
I shouldn’t have taken Jasmine to my bed. But I did, for the obvious reason. In my head, she became mine, but someone else had a prior right to me, so I couldn’t claim her.
I hurt her, though I never intended to. It’s just that my life is, complicated.
Thinking my love for her was one-sided, I let things go on.
When my brothers forced me to read the damn book she wrote, I knew her feelings for me echoed mine. And that I had to shut them down.
The trouble was, I stopped reading half-way through. When I realised it was too late, she was gone. If I’d known earlier, I might have been able to save her.��Jasmine�I fell for Strider. At first, I went to his bed just to gain the protection of his club. But when he refused to let any others touch me, then I started to hope he was mine. He was everything I’d ever hoped I’d find in a man.
I ignored the fact I wasn’t free, that someone else had a claim on me. Surely, an outlaw biker wouldn’t care?
But when Strider showed me how he could never be mine, I ran.
I was naïve. I thought I was safe. But my past caught up with me.
Strider would have protected me, but he has no idea where I am.

Magic, Mayhem & Mates: A Collection of Novellas and Short Stories by Naomi Valkyrie
Hosted by Itsy Bitsy Book Bits
Genre – Paranormal Romance
Page Count – 392
Cover Designer – EmCat Designs
FATE, FRANKINCENSE & FUNERALS
Acheron – Vulture shifter – Shunned from society because he touches the dead…
Kharon, the only place I’m safe, is in my rearview mirror as I take the treacherous journey to Mandara.
I know it’s dangerous, but I have to go. Something is pulling me to the city. When I get there, I’m surprised to discover it’s a person – Errapel, nurse to the dying soul I’ve been sent to assist. He’s a breath of fresh air to my stagnant life, but the law says vulture shifters are forbidden from taking a mate.
Can a vulture shifter outcast, and a sweet hare shifter nurse, beat the odds, or will the archaic laws tear them apart?
THE GHASTLY GUMBALL
Magic, Romance, and Shifters – OH MY!
This is a zany, wacky story about a guy named Lockwood King.
There’s magic.
There’s humor.
There’s chaos.
There’s meddling by outside forces (but it’s for their own good – really, it is).
There’s sort of fated mates (fate gets a little push – okay, a big shove, but everyone deserves an HEA, right)?
There’s a bit of cursing (the magic and the swearing kind).
There’s inconvenient tentacle wrestling. (Don’t ask me, I just write what the characters tell me to).
And speaking of tentacles, did I mention the cigar-smoking octopus named Clyde?
If you don’t like absurdly unbelievable tales and magical mishaps, this probably isn’t the book for you. You’ve been warned.
THE FINAL BITE
Every ten years, the gods choose a being from the paranormal world who has been unjustly killed and offers them a second chance at life. The catch? They must take a mate, and they only have three days to do it.
Fortunately for me, I, Quinnlan Trinity, am the chosen one.
Unfortunately for me, the trickster gods must have gotten into the mix because they drop me at an abandoned motel in the middle of nowheresville with three days’ worth of clothing, sans underwear, and a wad of cash. Seriously?
I’ve got two days left when I find a guy bleeding out. I could save him, but if I do, that means choosing him as my mate and risking rejection. Is he the one? Or, by saving him, am I dooming myself to a trip back to the afterlife?
THE MEN OF EDEN COVE MANOR
My mother’s final wish was for me to embrace life and live it to the fullest. I intend to do just that. Despite the town gossip touting the dangers, I set my sights on uncovering the mystery surrounding the men of Eden Cove Manor.
After a confrontation with Mordecai – one of the hot, mysterious Manor men – he’s determined to teach me a lesson. But I’m determined not to let him win the game he’s playing.
I set out to find answers and got more than I bargained for.
Am I about to become the next secret of Eden Cove Manor?
HOUSE VALDIS ORIGINS: XENOBIA
Raised in a society that treats women like cattle, Xenobia does her best to fly under the radar and not bring attention to herself. She obeys the rules, and she doesn’t get attached to people – until Urd.
After a man with extreme sadistic tendencies buys the two women, Xen lays awake at night planning their escape.
While on the run for their lives, Xen learns that the price of rebellion is steep.
Note: House Valdis Origins: Xenobia is the prequel to the House Valdis series.
THE ALIEN & THE CRIME BOSS
After fleeing the authorities on my home planet, I awaken on Earth only to find I’ve exchanged one prison for another. The difference is, I can tell the wary human holding me captive won’t harm me. He might be reluctant to believe I’m not human, but deep down he knows I’m not a threat.
Despite his suspicion, he treats me well, but how can I be certain it’s me he truly wants? What if I’m just a pawn in his struggle for power?
Note: This story first appeared in the Aliens on Earth Anthology.
All stories are also published as standalones in eBook format.

A Blind Curve by S.N. McKibben

Cover Designer – Get Covers

Marriage, parenting, and making ends meet is a long road to haul─and I’ve screwed it all up.  My ex thinks I’m a deadbeat. My daughter has lost all faith in me.  As a long-haul truck driver, I haven’t been there for either of them. Now that I’ve been caught driving my rig without a license it proves them right.

Since I’m on probation, I’ve been forced to take a co-driver on the road with me and prove to him that I can safely pass my commercial license, even though I’ve been doing this for a decade.

This is my last shot to continue with my company and prove myself to my broken family. I’ve missed a lot but I’m going to make it up to my daughter. I’m not going to blow it.  Not this time. I’m going to get the money my daughter needs. There’s a financial bonus in my future if I can talk Jake, my co-driver and probationary instructor, into hustling his laidback, rule-following ass into finishing the job early. 

As Jake and I travel together, the long drive and miles ahead of us bring us closer than I’m comfortable with─or am I?  Suddenly, I’m feeling things I never thought possible with another man. Could Jake be the “ride or die” I’ve been yearning for my entire life?  Is the road less traveled the one I’ve always needed?  Am I scared? Hell, yes!

Danny Chambers is back.
I lost my heart to Danny Chambers in high school, even though he parked me in the friend zone five minutes after we met. It’s taken years to stop thinking about him at least once every hour. It helped when he enlisted in the Air Force. But he’s back, and he’s walking onto the football team. He could go to college anywhere, so why does it have to be Mountain State?
Even best friends keep secrets from each other.
When Danny earns a spot playing receiver for the Wildcats, I’m in the clear. I can admire him from the stands and go back to my boring life of finishing my undergrad and resigning myself to being married to my career. After what went down with my one-and-only boyfriend last semester, well, I need to stop dreaming about happily-ever-after. Which makes the head games Danny is playing with me so painful. Why is he acting like he wants something more with me?
Five years ago, I made a colossal mistake.
I need a second chance. Growing up a military brat, the one constant in my life was playing football. Though I met all kinds of people while switching schools on the regular, one look at Taryn Hamilton and she’s my girl. Yet after we met, I discovered quick she was off-limits if I wanted to catch passes on Friday nights. I paid a big price for my bad choice. Now after giving Uncle Sam four years so I could attend college, I’m at Mountain State where I’m taking every opportunity to show Taryn how I truly feel – how I have always felt about her. She is so much more than my best friend.
Football was my first love. Now I’m playing for my only love.
Game Time.

Taylor is the proud mom of three (not-so-young-anymore) kids she loves more than life. She spends her days juggling their endless activities, hoping she looks presentable enough to be out in public, while writing stories inspired by the strangers she meets in her daily life. Maybe she’s a little crazy, or maybe she just misses the Barbie games played with her sister when they were young—but that’s where her stories are born. It’s where they blossom and grow, and eventually breathe life onto the pages of her books.

Taylor is drawn to the complexity and flaws of people. She believes that a life well lived is full of mistakes and that beauty is always found in imperfection. And yes, she believes in happy endings. She’s been married to the love of her life for 21 years after kissing way too many frogs.

She would love to hear from you! (Or I would love to hear from you… writing in 3rd person makes me sound way cooler.)

Some person likely said that a story shouldn’t start with the main “hero” “heroine” or whoever wakes up, that it’s lazy to do so.
Screw that.
That’s exactly where my path to carnage ladened revenge begins. This is my tale and you’ll get exactly how I feel it’s best to dish it out.I’ve lost my memories, my life, and only know there is a single person out there I need to save.
My sister.
I will do anything, become anyone in order to seek out the revenge on who stole my memories and sister from me.
Except, the mountain and the mortician are in my way of sacrificing myself for my sister and a life I dream for the two of us. Kidnapped by the mountain and held hostage by the mortician; I’m really going to have to put some thought behind how I’m going to get away from them.
Too bad for me they are as big as psychos as I am.Trigger Warning:
I’m no good with these, so I’m trying my best. There’s trauma, dismembering, torture, unaliving, kidnapping, and maybe a few other things. Like I said, I’m not good with these. I don’t have triggers when I read so pointing out ones for my own book is difficult.
Enter with caution and I hope you enjoy my three psychos.

The best laid plans sometimes crumble, but fate has the perfect detour..��Ayodele
In desperate need of a solution, I’m about to lose everything – my education, my future – if I’m deported before finishing school. Osei, bless his heart, is willing to marry me, but his wandering eye would only bring more trouble than we need.
Enter Luke, my best friend’s brother, with a shocking proposal: a marriage agreement. A simple arrangement that could save us both.
He needs to escape the forced marriage his father’s pushing on him, and I need to stay in the country to finish school.
It’s a deal that works for both of us.
But neither of us expected that living together, pretending to be husband and wife, would blur the lines between what’s real and what’s just part of our agreement.
I didn’t plan on falling in love with Luke, but sometimes the heart doesn’t care about the plan.
Luke
There was always a girl – a girl I couldn’t get out of my head. When I finally find her, she’s with the one person I could never betray – my brother.
I’ve kept my distance, believing that Ayodele was off-limits, only to learn she’s only my brother’s best friend. But crossing that line still felt forbidden. So, I’ve watched her quietly, wanting what I thought I could never have.
Now, she desperately needs help, and I see a way to help her – and myself. A fake marriage would solve both our problems. She stays to finish school, and I escape the loveless match my father is forcing me into.
It’s the perfect solution.
Or so I thought. What was supposed to be just an agreement is becoming something else entirely. The connection I’ve tried to deny is impossible to ignore, and keeping my distance is no longer an option.
Maybe this was never supposed to be a plan, because, neither of us is sticking to the plan.
No problem, right?

When danger comes to the small town of Woodvalley Pines, Hunter vows to become the protector of local bakery owner, Rachel. But when things heat up, can this firefighter handle the burn?
Rachel was finally happy. She had a place to call home, amazing friends, and a successful bakery. Then her past found her. Now Hunter Campbell was in her kitchen, acting like a caveman. After months of only grunting at her, one little incident, and he has the audacity to tell her she’s not allowed out without him. She couldn’t decide what terrified her more about her new bodyguard – the giant hulk scaring off her customers, or the fire in her belly that made her heart race every time he was near.
Local firefighter Hunter was a man of few words. But if ever there was a time to talk, it was now. Rachel was in danger and there was no way he was going to let anything happen to his stubborn little fairy. It didn’t matter that he’d spent months keeping his distance. Or that she had the power to shatter his heart and then stab him to death with the shards. This was happening. She could bang as many baking pans as she liked. He wasn’t going anywhere. She was stuck with him.
Fighting fires was nothing new to Rachel or Hunter, but surrendering to the heat of the flames was a battle neither of them were prepared for.

Natalina Reis is an international bestseller who wrote her first romance at the age of thirteen. Since then she has published many romances that defy the boundaries of her genre. She enjoys writing all kinds of rebels and outcasts into her stories and she always roots for the underdog. 

Natalina doesn’t believe you can have too many books or too much coffee. Chinese historical fantasy dramas are her (not so) guilty pleasure and she is pretty sure she could survive on lobster and bananas alone.

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.

Darby’s Cafe by Cori Cooper

❤️‿➹⁀✵‿➹⁀❤️ BOOK SPOTLIGHT SHOWCASE ❤️‿➹⁀✵‿➹⁀❤️
Darby’s Cafe by Cori Cooper
Hosted by Itsy Bitsy Book Bits
Genre – Clean Romance
Page Count – TBA
Cover Designer – Immortal Works Press
Darby works in a small town cafe and takes business classes in her free time.
Not because she wants to.
Because she has to.
Over a year ago, her dreams, and her confidence, were crushed to meringue powder by a well-known food critic who wrote a scathing review about her restaurant. Because of him, everything fell apart and Darby had to return to her hometown to pick up all the crumbs and try to make something edible.
It just feels so dang hard to start over.
In the meantime, she’d love it if she could catch the eye of the hottie at the cafe who comes in every day at the same time for breakfast. If she can work up the courage to talk to him, that just might mean she can work up the courage to try again with her restaurant.
Because more than anything she wants to show that stupid Jackson Wilcox that he was wrong about her.

By day, Cori Cooper is the mild-mannered (sort of) Wife to her high school love, the Mother of four punny, movie-quoting, awesome-sauce kiddos who are adults and teens now, (yeah, that happened fast), and the Writer of stories that (hopefully) leave readers with a warm and slightly squishy feeling. (That’s not weird at all).

 

And by night… Cori Cooper is sleeping because that’s her fifth favorite thing to do.

 

Writing and publishing books is a long-time dream come true. Sometimes she has to pinch herself (also not at all weird) that she’s actually doing the thing she imagined when she was six years old. It’s surreal, and yet, stinking amazing.

 

So when she’s not hanging out with her fabulous family, or writing stories, Cori loves reading or listening to books that make her want to be a better person. She has a fetish for watching cheesy Hallmark movies with her girls – the cheesier the better. She’s passionate about baking anything that has copious amounts of butter, and quite frequently, she can be found rearranging furniture, organizing closets, and changing the color of paint on interior walls.
