A YOUNG ADULT MYSTERY/THRILLER…
Sometimes you can’t escape your past.
Sixteen-year-old Summer Ellis is terrified of ice. But there’s a valid reason. Ten years ago, she lost her childhood best friend on frozen Winterberry Lake. Returning to the remote New Hampshire town, she stumbles upon another young victim claimed by the lake. It appears the past is repeating itself.
After her gruesome discovery, newcomer Summer is dubbed the town outcast. While she comes to terms with two tragic losses, she meets beguiling blue-eyed Tate, who quickly sweeps her off her feet. The problem? He is not just charming, but Winterberry High’s star ice hockey goalie. Which means only one thing: MORE ICE.
With a town full of suspects and tensions as thick as January ice, Summer’s detective mom reassures the residents that the killer will soon be brought to justice. But just as the lake drew Summer to its dark icy depths so many years ago, she now feels compelled to solve its next chilling mystery.
Like the memories of her childhood, Summer is FROZEN IN TIME.

Bookbub – Soul of a Villain (A Savage Novel) by April Moran


A spinoff of the Savage Duet featuring Kingston Winter’s half-brother. The villain gets his fairytale in the latest book set in the Savage World.
Oliver Benedict Winter
My life revolves around death and darkness.
I trust no one. Believe in nothing. I despise the world in general. Like me, everything in it is harsh and cruel. I’ve accepted that I’ll die alone one day and probably in great pain from an enemy ambush. But when I see her on the auction block, nothing else matters. I am instantly, completely, insanely consumed. The thought of keeping her forever turns me feral. She’s in danger, but how can I save her when I’ve sworn to be the instrument of her death?
I hunted her. I caught her. I’m keeping her. She’s mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. I’ll rip to pieces anyone who tries taking her from me and send them straight to Hell.
I’m the villain, and this is my fairy tale.
Londyn Juliet Skye
Entering that auction voluntarily might be the biggest mistake of my life.
I had no other options. I need this money to take care of my sister. But things don’t go as planned. Now, I’m the prize in a terrifying hunt catering to the world’s richest, most dangerous men. My survival will give my sister the justice she deserves, but I’m unprepared for the man who catches me. His cruelty is tempered by possessiveness. His darkness tamed by unexpected benevolence. He makes me bleed, but when he kisses the pain away, I just want more.
I hate him. Fear him. Crave him. This man has me in a chokehold but I’m beginning to like being his.
He’s the villain I’m falling in love with.

April enjoys writing both historical and new adult romance with a generous splash of heat. When not penning tales of passion, she enjoys traveling with her husband, attending rock concerts with friends, and time spent with family. Brainstorming new storylines is best done while riding her horse or during long walks with her German Shepherd. A tumbler of good whiskey helps tie all the details together and brings her characters to life.

Terri Sabol is an accomplished children’s book author, renowned for her heartwarming and entertaining stories featuring the real-life adventures of her two beloved rescue kittens, Oscar and Emmy. Born and raised in Texas, Terri developed a love of writing and storytelling at a young age, and always dreamed of one day becoming an author. Thinking that was out of reach, she focused on her other dream… teaching.

After graduating from college with a Masters degree in education, Terri worked as an early childhood teacher, and it was during this time that her passion for picture books truly blossomed. She was inspired by the joy and wonder that children experienced when reading and listening to stories, and it was this love for inspiring young minds that led her to create her own series of children’s books.

Terri’s debut book, “Oscar and Emmy Get Rescued”, was published in 2016, and told the heartwarming story of how she came to adopt her two kittens from the animal shelter where she volunteered. The book was an instant hit with children and parents alike, and it quickly became clear that there was a demand for more stories featuring Oscar and Emmy and to help educate children on the importance being involved in pet care.

Over the years, Terri has continued to write new books in the series, each one capturing the unique personalities and quirks of her two adventurous cats. Her books not only entertain children, but also promote the values of compassion and kindness towards animals, as well as the importance of rescue and adoption.

In addition to her Oscar and Emmy series, Terri has also written several other books showing off her writing skills, including “Green With Envy” and “Kneading a Winning Idea”.

When she’s not writing, Terri can be found spending time with her two rescue kitties, Oscar and Emmy. She also loves travelling and exploring new places and visiting old favorites, all the while taking inspiration for her next book. Through her stories, Terri hopes to inspire children to explore the world around them, to embrace their imaginations, to never give up on their goals, and to always be kind and compassionate towards others, especially animals.

Genre – Romantic Suspense
Page Count – 355
Cover Designer – Angela Haddon
Welcome to the Dark Horse Dive Bar, where the Wildes throw one hell of a party and love could be a barstool away!
Aria Wilde runs the Dark Horse Dive Bar with efficiency and precision. If only her life ran that way too. Brokenhearted and bitter after a very public and messy split with her ex, Aria is gun shy when it comes to men. But her brother-in-law’s FBI brother, Nick Gunn, has been a sexy distraction when he’s in town. He makes her sizzle every time he’s near. But as their relationship deepens, she thinks he may be the one – and also the one who could decimate her heart if she risks it once again.
Assistant special agent-in-charge Nick Gunn is happy his brother Mason found love and a new lease on life with Lyric Wilde, but it’s her sister Aria he can’t stop thinking about. Their long-distance relationship wears on both of them. Their two lives seem so different, both of them tied to their jobs and where they live. A compromise seems insurmountable, even if they both want it. He knows he needs to make a change – one for the better if his brother’s new life with Lyric is any indication of what he could have with Aria – but is he ready to make a commitment that’s never worked out for him in the past?
When a case goes sideways, hiding out in Blackrock Falls where his brother can watch his back seems like the ideal way to be with Aria, give their relationship a real shot, and lay low. He thinks he’s safe in the small town, but he underestimated the killer after him for revenge. All he does is put a target on Aria’s back. And as a killer closes in, he realizes seeing his future without her in it is impossible. Losing her would be devastating.
And when things go terribly wrong, it will be anyone’s guess who will save who, and if any of them will make it out alive. But Nick’s not going down without a fight, or getting the woman he loves.

Lily Loggins falls in love when she pulls a drowning pit bull puppy out of the ocean. Who would have thought this one act would set Lilly down a path she never expected.
Golfer Micah Moore has two goals – to win the PGA Grand Slam and marry Lily the girl of his dreams. When he sees the exhausted puppy in Lilly’s arms, he’s certain he’s added another love to his life. He didn’t anticipate the important role the dog would play in his future.
In an ugly twist of fate, Lily and Micah’s lives together are marred by tragedies until a life force beyond their understanding influences their destiny and leaves them forever altered.

Carol’s love of animals, especially dogs and horses, is obvious in everything she writes.


 Her love of dogs and working in rescue has led her to write from the heart and through a dog’s eyes. A dog’s unconditional love for his human is what she emphasizes in her writing. Her message is clear. “If a dog can love us unconditionally, why can’t we do the same with each other?” While her latest book, Caddy’s Tale, is spiritual in nature, most of her paranormal stories are often filled with characters that might be the most difficult to love.

Carol’s love of writing and dogs began at 14 when she started telling her stories to Labrador Retrievers, Basset Hounds and any stray that happened by. It wasn’t long before people stopped to have a listen as well. Now, Carol writes for people and speaks to large audiences, dogs included.

A fake relationship between a fiery teacher and a notorious football star heats up into something dangerously real – but is this game worth the risk?
Brielle
Starting my teaching career as the butt of a prank gone wrong is not how I imagined things going. The hits keep coming when it’s none other than the notorious Ares Bellingham’s nephew who pulls the prank.
Ares, Fall Lake University’s most controversial rising football star, is the last person I expect – or want – to see standing in my classroom, but here he is, infuriatingly smug as he tries to fix things.
Just when I think things can’t get worse, my past resurfaces, threatening to disrupt the life I’ve worked so hard to rebuild.
But Ares has a plan, one that might be worth the Hail Mary he’s throwing my way, and suddenly my life becomes even more complicated.
Ares
One ridiculous mistake almost cost me everything – my shot at the NFL, my reputation, and my family. Now, I’m just inches away from getting benched for good.
My coach is breathing down my neck, the scouts are watching my every move, and I can’t afford another fumble.
But when my nephew’s prank lands me in Brielle Sinclair’s crosshairs, the fiery teacher with a no-nonsense attitude, I’m suddenly facing another fourth-and-long.
She needs help running interference on her past, and I need…well, I need her.
The Play
It’s simple, really.
I’ll be her pretend boyfriend to keep her tormentors at bay, and she’ll help me show the world I’m not the PR nightmare they think I am.
But as we spend more time together, faking it becomes harder, especially with sparks flying whenever I’m near her.
I’m ready to fight for her, but will she let me prove that what we have is more than just a game?
Pump Fake is a fake relationship, one-night stand turned friends with benefits, college sports romance, filled with all the heat and angst you crave – without any cliffhangers.

Genre – MMF Romance
Page Count – 396
Cover Designer – Shana Colbert
A biker president, who plays Santa for sick children, an ex-fireman turned made man, and an enforcer soon to be a princess from one of the five families walk into a motorcycle club.
It’s not the start of a funny joke; no, it’s all real life.
Slaytor Rhodes, the president of Sons of Thunder MC, is a father and an ex-husband. He brings toys to sick children in his very own Santa suit and likes to think of himself as a lover. Because of who his father was, he hasn’t been able to come out and love who he wants, but now he’s getting rid of the trash sullying up his club – like all the used-up Christmas paper on Christmas day, and he doesn’t care who he upsets to do it.
The price to be with Cameron Von is worth it.
Contessa Dean (Nitti), or Tessa to her friends, and the boogie man to everyone else, has one goal in mind: to avenge her mother’s death. If that means she gets caught up in the crossfire, then so be it. Even being a princess of one of the five families won’t save her, and she’s made peace with that. Until her father tells her she must marry Cameron Von to bring the families together – the one man who can make her lose sight of her only goal in life – vengeance. Will a Christmas miracle happen, and she’ll get everything she wished for? Her revenge, and Cam with a side of Slaytor Rhodes.
Cam, along with Slaytor, made her hope for more. Hope was deadly in her line of work.
Cameron Von loved being a firefighter, but those days crashed and burned when he stuck his neck out for a friend and was brought into the family fold permanently. If he had to be a part of the family, he’d try to clean things up and make them legit, once and for all. When his uncle tells him he must marry Contessa Nitti to bring the families together, he jumps at the chance, because he’s always secretly loved Contessa, but she’s not so happy to be his bride. Everywhere she goes, Contessa brings death with her. She’s keeping something big from him, causing her to be cold and distant. Will the Christmas spirit thaw out her heart?
If everything goes his way, he won’t have to spend another Christmas alone; he’ll spend Christmas with Contessa and Santa Daddy Slaytor.
Slaytor is theirs, and Santa makes three. This life is no joke.
***This is a darkish MFM, MMF, that takes place during Christmas, book.***

Three Days to Be Ruined (The Winemakers Series Book 5) by Giovanna Siniscalchi
Hosted by Itsy Bitsy Book Bits
Genre – Historical Romance
Cover Designer – Anna Rocca
An English lady proposes marriage to a brooding Scotsman – but she’s about to learn there’s nothing convenient about courting this fiery Highlander.
An English lady with everything to lose…
Beth Croft is all poise and propriety – or so she tells herself. To save her father from financial ruin, she proposes a marriage of convenience to Boyd Sandeman, the ruggedly handsome, infuriating Scotsman and wine tycoon. She expects some challenges, but she didn’t expect Boyd himself- a man with a dry wit, a commanding presence, and a knack for turning her world upside down.
A Scotsman with a taste for revenge…
For Boyd, Beth’s offer is a chance to settle an old score with her father, who once humiliated him. He agrees, but only if Beth can prove she’s up to the task. At a festive Christmas house party, Boyd devises three challenges to test her mettle, from blind wine tastings to keeping up with his demanding (and often maddening) expectations. Yet as they spar and spark, Boyd’s own defenses begin to falter in surprising ways.
Three trials, one Christmas, and undeniable chemistry…
Beth didn’t expect proving herself would mean more late nights than she’d bargained for – or that her heart would be on the line. Can she survive Boyd’s trials, break through his defenses, and make it to Christmas morning with her pride – and her heart – intact?
A standalone historical romance with spice, heart, and favorite characters from The Winemakers series, Three Days to Be Ruined is the perfect holiday escape! If you’re drawn to heart-stopping romance, rugged heroes, and daring heroines, this is your next unputdownable read. Get your copy today and dive into a journey of love, revenge, and sizzling holiday chemistry!

Stories are the very fabric of life. I want to transport readers to exotic settings, where they can find romance and happy endings and hopefully bring some back to their daily lives. Portugal brims with beauty and passion, and I research every tiny detail of my novels, hoping to make the reader treasure my grandparents’ country as I do. I have a loving husband who still is my hero and two amazing kids. When it’s cold and rainy, I run inside to read and watch movies under blankets, sipping wine. You can find me on the beach during summer, surfing with my family.

Wilde In His Arms (Dark Horse Dive Bar Series) by Jennifer Ryan
Hosted by Itsy Bitsy Book Bits
Genre – Romantic Suspense
Page Count – 355
Cover Designer – Angela Haddon

Welcome to the Dark Horse Dive Bar, where the Wildes throw one hell of a party and love could be a barstool away!
Aria Wilde runs the Dark Horse Dive Bar with efficiency and precision. If only her life ran that way too. Brokenhearted and bitter after a very public and messy split with her ex, Aria is gun shy when it comes to men. But her brother-in-law’s FBI brother, Nick Gunn, has been a sexy distraction when he’s in town. He makes her sizzle every time he’s near. But as their relationship deepens, she thinks he may be the one – and also the one who could decimate her heart if she risks it once again.
Assistant special agent-in-charge Nick Gunn is happy his brother Mason found love and a new lease on life with Lyric Wilde, but it’s her sister Aria he can’t stop thinking about. Their long-distance relationship wears on both of them. Their two lives seem so different, both of them tied to their jobs and where they live. A compromise seems insurmountable, even if they both want it. He knows he needs to make a change – one for the better if his brother’s new life with Lyric is any indication of what he could have with Aria – but is he ready to make a commitment that’s never worked out for him in the past?
When a case goes sideways, hiding out in Blackrock Falls where his brother can watch his back seems like the ideal way to be with Aria, give their relationship a real shot, and lay low. He thinks he’s safe in the small town, but he underestimated the killer after him for revenge. All he does is put a target on Aria’s back. And as a killer closes in, he realizes seeing his future without her in it is impossible. Losing her would be devastating.
And when things go terribly wrong, it will be anyone’s guess who will save who, and if any of them will make it out alive. But Nick’s not going down without a fight, or getting the woman he loves.

Recluse Sophie Vanguard’s winter cabin retreat turns ominous when blue flowers mysteriously appear. They’re everywhere. On her front porch, in kitchen cabinets, and even on her pillow. It isn’t long before chilling whispers echo in the halls, and her journal repeats seven unsettling entries.
Enter the bloodied and beautifully eccentric Ly Thi Ren. Though Ren seems familiar, Sophie refuses to believe the girl’s insistence that they are trapped inside a book.
In a land of fiction, truth and lies blur together, clear decisions are marred by doubt, and shared family trauma lurks just below the surface.
Can Ren and Sophie make it out alive? Or will they end up nothing more than words inked in blood and memory?
With elements of gothic horror, splatterpunk, romance, and fantasy, Inked in Blood and Memory is a self-aware LGBTQ+ horror that wraps its clutches around the reader and doesn’t let go.

Nathan Roth is a sometimes-bearded connoisseur of immaculate bants that lives on the internet. Although he greatly enjoys trashposting in online video games, it’s all just a cover for his legitimate love of writing fantasy. His first book started as a joke, like most things he does, but after the punchline faded, his commitment to storytelling stuck.

Roth fluctuates between ordering large quantities of hot dogs, avocados and bananas and forgetting to eat altogether. In his free time he can been found taking care of his plot-twistingly cute shaking-leaf of a dog, Rosa-Barksia, and seeking human touch via flesh-chess, aka Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

For fans of Mary Alice Monroe’s The Beach House comes a heartwarming story from women’s fiction author Diane Owens Prettyman about second chances as two people find a pathway out of their grief – directly in the aftermath of a hurricane.
The Texas Gulf: beautiful yet unpredictable.
A beach town destroyed. Her mother’s candy store swept away. This is what Teddy Wainsworth faces when she returns to Bird Isle. Meanwhile, Jack Shaughness, owner of a popular barbecue restaurant chain and widower still grieving the death of his wife, receives permission to cross over to the island with a smoker full of brisket to feed hurricane survivors. Soon after arriving, he meets Teddy and immediately finds himself drawn to her – which makes him feel he is betraying his wife. When the two find a lost dog, Jack convinces Teddy to take it home while they attempt to find the owner, creating a bond that brings them closer.
In the wake of the hurricane, Bird Isle residents fear the Aransas Wildlife Refuge will not be ready for the whooping cranes’ annual migration south. Seeing that Jack has important connections and a love for the island, they enlist him to help restore the habitat of the endangered cranes before they fly to Padre Island for the winter. With their rescued dog always nearby, Teddy and Jack work side by side to rebuild Bird Isle for the return of the whooping cranes. But Jack is harboring a secret that may ruin everything he and Teddy are creating – and he won’t be able to keep that secret forever.

<span;>‘Fooling other people is duplicity; fooling yourself is stupidity.’

<span;>In 1997, sixteen-year-old Tana Davis imagined a bright future for herself; she would finish school, become a lawyer, and generally swish her way through life being brilliant. But a chance encounter with a stranger on a Cornish beach pushed Tana’s life onto a different path.

<span;>Fast forward to 2010, and Tana awakes in a French hospital, with limited memories about what happened to put her there. Images flicker through her head: a ten-car pile-up, a terrorist attack, a brutal mugging. A train wreck or a plane crash. Anything could have happened. But what did? And where are her children?

<span;>Forced to examine her life to this point, Tana must admit some brutal truths about herself, her family and her relationships.

<span;>Based loosely on the twelve-step recovery programme, Tana’s story confronts some of the most fundamental issues that we all face – how we create meaning in our life, how perceptions influence the way we conduct ourselves, and how relationships can be tested.

A doctor with a name crisis.
A mother with a child stuck in a hospital ward.
A way to raise money for kids for the holiday season.
A calendar in need of a December doctor.
Leeona isn’t taking no for an answer. Her charity calendar needs one more hot doctor to agree to model, and quickly. Stephen Clause is smart and sexy – basically everything she’s looking for. She’ll do anything to convince him to sign on to the project.
Stephen has no interest in being Dr. December. There are already enough issues in his life stemming from the last name Clause without adding something else to the pile. The problem is, the feisty woman asking for a favour doesn’t know when to give up.
The comment was meant as a joke and perhaps to embarrass her just enough to give up the ghost. He never expected her to agree to fulfill his entire naughty wish list in exchange for volunteering to pose as her sexy Santa.

When Cole Johnson was eight-years-old, he married Rose Prescott. Never mind that the aisle was made of holiday table runners, she wore an old lace curtain, and her brother performed the ceremony in a musty basement.
Twenty-four years later, Cole is more in love than ever and ready to wed Rose for real. This time, it’ll be at an exquisite wedding venue and the minister will know how to read. But that’s not all. He wants to give Rose the life he’s always dreamed of: a big house with a picket fence, twin boys, a family dog, and a rock solid 401K.
But Rose doesn’t seem to want any of it – not even a little. Because it’s not at all the future she covets. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. The thought of a hefty mortgage payment and a minivan full of children isn’t just suffocating… it’s insufferable.
As the wedding approaches, Cole grows uneasy and can’t help but feel like Rose is hiding something. Despite his suspicions, the day of their wedding arrives without a hitch. The question is, how will the day end?

Goodreads – Secrets of a Prodigy (Protect and Honor Series) by Lynn Wood

 Bookbub – Secrets of a Prodigy (Protect and Honor Series) by Lynn Wood


Dinopotamus watches the children. He tries to do what they do. He follows them to school. He doesn’t fit through the door, so he climbs in the window. The children count their toes. They have five on each foot. He has three. The children see that he wants to learn, just like they do. They all learn together.

If you’re playing hide and seek, Lynn’s default hiding place is always between the pages of a book.  Whether it’s a recent bestseller or the latest release from one of her favorite authors, or creating new stories of her own, Lynn’s world must include books to fall into, to be dragged under, to immerse herself in fantasies, romances, thrillers, ideas, or new ways of looking at and experiencing life.  Her writing reflects her wide-ranging interests, but you’ll find most of her books in the romantic suspense, mysteries and thrillers and historical romance genres, usually with a magical or supernatural thread woven through the tapestry of the stories. When she’s not reading or writing, Lynn spends time with family and friends, traveling around the country and the world, and whenever she can, at the beach, under an umbrella…reading a book, of course.
