All I want is a quiet drink. Guess it is too much to ask. Especially for my ex who will not take a hint when I tell him the seat beside me is taken—by my purse. My gaze snags on the super-hot guy in the reflection behind the bar, the one whose knowing wink should put me off. But my attention keeps straying to him. When football standout Wyatt “Bax” Baxter makes his move, steals the barstool from my purse, and sends my ex on his way, I can’t decide if I’m irritated or intrigued. After I caught my ex cheating, I know better than to trust a man with my heart. Yet when one thing leads to another, Bax becomes the only thing on my mind.
It was supposed to stop at a one-night stand.
Bax is unexpected. I don’t usually date football players. The fact that he listens when I talk is as big a turn-on as his broad shoulders stretching his T-shirt. When we hook up, he rocks my world. But my terrible history with men stops me from giving him my number. One and done, moving on is my motto these days. Though Bax lets me walk away, he refuses to let me go. He finds a way to live rent-free in my head, and to my everlasting shock, I keep seeking him out. Our backgrounds are wildly different. We make no sense together, but I can’t stay away.
She’s out of my league—like that ever stopped me.
Piper Maxwell is the whole sexy package—smart, independent, and the best time I ever had. When I wow the crowd with a pick-six during a big rivalry game, I know exactly where to point the ball—at a purple-haired hottie cheering in the student section. She insists on keeping it casual, but she is too special to let get away. I’m known for my tenacity on the field, something Piper is about to find out extends off the field too.
She thought the game ended in the first quarter, but I play to the final whistle.

If you like adrenaline-pumping thrill rides blending action, suspense, and romance with a splash of humor, you won’t be able to put down Shadowed Storm, the fourth installment in Mavery Ellscott’s Shadow Defense Security series.
Each novel in the Shadow Defense Security series is a stand-alone; however, the overarching conspiracy plot is present in each book and characters cross over.
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.
It was like falling through the rabbit hole. Nothing was the way that she’d expected it on the other side of the doorway. The advanced society that she’d hoped for no longer existed and a medieval society that fought with sword and staff was in its place. To make matters worse, she was stuck here with no way home.
Will two gorgeous men and a friendly queen help her find some meaning in her life?
When she’s not out hunting rogue vampires and werewolves, you can find Crystal Dawn out exploring the galaxy. She can do it all without ever leaving her computer. She kicks ass, takes names, and puts it all down for the enjoyment of her readers. At least that’s what I think she told me. Writing came as a natural outlet for her overly creative mind. She has always told stories and even written some but publishing books didn’t start until 2012 with The Rebirth, was the first of the Planet Amazon books. Crystal has also been lucky to have some wonderful beta readers who keep her on track and help inspire her. Secretly, she crushes on all her sexy heroes because all her stories end happily. That is one of the things that makes writing such a joy. Knowing that it makes her reader’s day a little brighter. Not that she doesn’t read sad books sometimes. While still in school, she read Where the Red Fern Grows and cried like a baby. It was a wonderful book and sometimes a bit of sadness has to be put in books because that’s part of life. While she reads all kinds of books at some time or another, PNR and SFR, which she writes is what she reads the most for pleasure. When she started writing, she decided on going Indie after the first two books because an author has more control. She believes Indie will compete well and continues to grow. The need to give pleasure to her readers keeps her going and she sees a long career ahead. Growing up mostly in the NW Arkansas area, it has given her a good place to set some stories and many of her characters come from there or nearby SW Missouri. The start of her stories is the easy part. Finishing them is a little harder when all the stories are in there trying to get out. She loves reading, chocolate, fine sweet wine, and traveling among a large list of pursuits. Her favorite people, after her family and close friends, are her readers who she says are some of the most wonderful people in this galaxy and the next.

It was only supposed to be a well-deserved, three-day break from life back in the city.
Three days in the islands without interruptions from work or anything else.
Then I met her. She was beautiful and sexy, and she insisted we didn’t share names. I would have been crazy not to agree to a long weekend of anonymous sex.
I don’t know when it happened, but it turned into more. I started thinking about forever with my mystery woman.
That doesn’t sound like something a bad boy ever considers, but there it is. I’d found the woman for me.
And just when I had it all, I blew it.
Salem
He crashed into my life like a hurricane. He was sexy and charming, but he was a bad boy through and through, untamed and wild.
I should have run away the moment he walked up to my table. Instead, I let myself be seduced by his soulful dark brown eyes and a body made for pleasure.
I thought I could be safe if I kept our time together anonymous. How wrong I was.
Fate has a way of giving people what they deserve, and it seems to think I should have a chance to make him suffer.
Now this good girl has to decide if she still cares for that bad boy she met in the islands or wants to exact her revenge.

Julie Castle is a natural-born romantic with a modicum of artistic talent inherited from her mom and a love for telling tall tales she got from her dad. That set her up for being a starving artist, the biggest fibber in the world, or a romance author. She’s so glad she chose the latter. She’s always had a love affair with the written word. As a child growing up in a small town, she loved visiting the local library, a converted gilded age mansion, and getting lost between the pages of a book. The drafty old mansion could be a spooky place, but she still loved it. She enjoyed poking into behind the scenes areas she wasn’t supposed to venture into. She’s still the same way, which is why she loves writing romance with an edge, paranormal, suspenseful, super sexy, or just laugh your pants off funny. She resides in Wisconsin with her family.

Trian, a shy nobleman, has fallen hard for Claire, and when King Godwin assigns him to escort her across the realm, he grabs at the chance to finally make an impression.

Her greatest fear is realized when Trian is knocked down by deadly quarrels. The assassins transport Claire far from Aurelia to the foreign lands of Nifolhad, a dark kingdom of whispers and spies. To survive, she must ally herself with the mystical women of the Fenrhi Temple. Their customs and secrets seduce her and drag her into the very heart of the battle for Nifolhad’s throne.
But help comes from unexpected places, and if Claire ever hopes to return to Aurelia and to those she loves, she must finally embrace her curse as a gift.

After narrowly avoiding a prison sentence, I snatch up the chance to start over. But my ex certainly didn’t make things easy. I’ve lost everything–my job, my reputation, my friends, everything except what matters most, my infant son, Griffin. He’s the reason I live and breathe, but I don’t know if I can do this alone.
Then an angel appears in the form of my new neighbor, Jude. He’s handsome and good with my son, but my heart is hesitant to love again. Especially with Jude’s personal demons interfering, leading him to betray my trust.
Despite our falling out, when my past shows up, putting Griffin in danger, Jude’s the one riding to the rescue. He’s a good man, but am I ready to risk my heart to build a future with him?
JUDE
He’s gone, and he took my heart and soul with him. Life is now an endless round of working security jobs and losing myself in the bottom of a bottle… until the night I meet my new neighbor Elijah and his baby boy. Suddenly, the future I always wanted is possible again, and I cling to it with all I’ve got. But my clinging leads me to make a decision that could tank everything before it gets started.
Even though Elijah has pushed me away, when he and Griffin are in danger, I can’t stand by and do nothing. Elijah and I may not end up together, but he and his son have become my reason to live. As long as they are safe, nothing else matters. I’d rather they be alive to love from afar, than be dead and return to the darkness I was in before we met, because this time I might not make it out.

She is inspired by being able to spontaneously create a thought that takes on a life of its own, opening up new adventures for her readers.
The Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy realms are particular areas of interest for Naomi as they allow for the vast exploration of magic, adventure, and the impossible while creating diverse characters that her readers connect with on an emotional level.
When she isn’t attending to familial connections, Naomi loves a dark, comfy reading space surrounded by the symbolism of her spiritual archetypes and her daemon/familiars, while she sips her tea and immerses herself in imagination.

With Jessie back in town, their chemistry is too powerful to resist. When the threatening messages return, they must face the fact that someone in Swan Harbor will do anything to keep them apart. Do they let the enemy win and go their separate ways? Or do they risk their hearts and fight for the future they want … together?
For a chance at a happy ending, isn’t love worth the risk?
I am a married, mother of four, who lives in S. Florida with my family, a spoiled dog, Bandit, and an equally spoiled cat, Irma. After over thirty years as a speech/language pathologist working with post stroke and Parkinson’s patients, I’ve finally given in to her muse.
I write small-town mystery romance with layered plots and characters that are smart, loveable and complex. The Hope & Hearts from Swan Harbor Series has six historical novellas and fifteen contemporary books. The final book in the series will be released 7/26/2024. Each book has a new couple, a mystery and a happy ending. However, there are multiple threads that run in and out of the series.
While there are several entry points to the series, it is best to begin with book 1 and follow the journey of love to the end. For a review of the series, please check out https://sophiebartow.com/

A man—and a town—determined to keep their secrets.
A woman determined to find her sister. A man—and a town—determined to keep their secrets. Dr. Moira McCann worries when her mercurial twin Claire fails to show up for a rare sisterly visit. Claire’s last text was from a small town in the North Carolina mountains—Allenville. And now Claire won’t respond to any texts or calls; her phone is dead. Which means Moira—the responsible sister—has to go looking for her. Allenville Police Chief Seth Call juggles the usual town disputes and the everyday trouble outsiders get into in his remote county. But early summer brings a special kind of chaos: it’s mating season in these mountains for a certain vicious species, and anyone is prey if they wander too far off the known paths. When Moira seeks his help finding her sister, Seth can’t hint at any of the real dangers she faces. Despite his instant attraction to this woman, Seth has his secrets to keep—about his town, about his people and their history, about what Claire’s true fate may have been. But Moira already believes there’s more to the cute little town of Allenville—and its sexy Police Chief—than it seems. And she won’t stop until she’s discovered the unearthly truth.

K. Brady
With my plan to weaken the two major crime families set in motion, I retreat to a remote cabin to wait out the destruction and plan my takeover. None of my plans included a man claiming to be from another planet.
Believing he’s been sent to kill me, his ridiculous claim a distraction meant to throw me off, I hold him prisoner. But then he goes and saves my life. Maybe there’s something to this alien thing after all. One thing is certain, my pathway to power just got a whole lot easier with him on my side.
All I have to do now is stay focused on the mission and not get distracted by the allure of my otherworldly hero.
LEILPHUN
After fleeing the authorities on my home planet to avoid the punishment of the fighting arena, I awake 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 and even initiates the betrothal ritual. Which is why when people show up in the middle of the night intending to kill him, I call upon my warrior spirit to defend him; the very warrior spirit I’d sworn never to use, because I fear losing myself to my primal nature.
Now, Kasper has made me a part of his mission to rise to the top; but how can I be certain it’s me he truly wants? What if I’m just a pawn in his struggle for power – only good for my talents, but not worthy of his love?

An unexpected guest turns up in Port Townsend for Thanksgiving dinner at the O’Connell Compound. Edward, the eldest brother, has cast aside his Roman collar and arranged for an extended stay in a hotel. In his youth, he sowed some impressive wild oats. Joining the priesthood meant turning his back not only on his checkered past but also his worldly family.
Edward becomes a regular at Café Lisette, owned by the alluring and lissome Lisette Manegold. Based on scant evidence, his brother-in-law believes Lisette is a man-eater and a former call girl. Though those labels are off the mark, she has in fact buried an identity that would shock any family, let alone one as wealthy and respectable as the O’Connells.
Edward rejoices in his own fresh start and is prepared to overlook any and all dark secrets. It is Lisette who can’t forgive herself and move on. This Christmas season, they hope to reimagine the holiday together. If only the ghosts of the past will let them.

What happens when your learned behavior is murder?�From a young age, I thought killing was normal.�Then I was taken away.�They tried to fix me.�They failed.��They thought changing my identity and giving me a fresh start in a new town would help.�They were wrong.�They tried to cast out the demons lurking within my mind.�It didn’t work.�The demons demand satisfaction, regardless of who must die.��Diamond Valley, the land of silicone and plastic, is now my hunting ground.�
I take the most beautiful of all, turning them into my trophies—like beautiful butterflies on display for eternity, encased in glass and metal.��The ones I don’t deem worthy are found in the most gruesome ways, for all to see what’s truly on the inside.��Everyone can and will perish in the most horrific ways if we deem it so—except for the most beautiful inside and out. Maya Archer will always be ours—mine and the demons within me.��Detective Cole Silverthorne has spent his entire career chasing me. He has no idea how close I truly am, or that he’s falling in love with what’s mine, which will never do.��Once a killer, always a killer.
