Action star George Reed Masters has spent much of his last twenty years on movie sets, surrounded by willing women. Longing to be seen as a serious actor, he takes on a role that requires him to lose serious weight.
So maybe it’s not the best time to hire his aunt’s private chef, Rose. Has the punishing diet scrambled his brain? George wants her… badly. But unlike any other woman in his orbit, Rose is quiet and reserved, and a committed relationship with a civilian doesn’t jibe with his career plans. Though Rose feels the heat, she is determined to hold onto her job – and her heart.
Child of Hollywood royalty and his frequent co-star, George’s ex-wife Helena is a classic beauty with major talent. To win him back and take him far away from Rose, Helena dangles the perfect lure: a coveted role in her father’s next film.

Red Zone: A College Sports Romance (Fall Lake Ballers, Book 3) by Isla Vaughn

A star athlete’s dreams and a determined single mother’s secret collide in a game where love and integrity are the true champions.
Liam
I’m on the verge of everything I’ve ever wanted – NFL scouts are watching, and my future is just within reach.
But when Skylar Finley walks back into my life as the football team’s new social media intern, suddenly the game isn’t my only focus.
She’s keeping something from me, and her reappearance is starting to mess with my head – and my performance on the field. My coach is losing patience, and I can’t afford any more fumbles.
Just when I think I’ve got my playbook in order, a scandal blindsides the team, and I’m forced to make the hardest call of my life – one that could bench me for good.
Skylar
Coming back to my alma mater was never in the cards – especially with Liam Cartwright still here.
Our college romance ended in heartbreak, and now I’m holding onto a secret that could turn everything upside down: a daughter he doesn’t know exists.
As the team’s new social media intern, I’m supposed to highlight their success, not uncover a dangerous conspiracy.
But as I dig deeper into the team’s suspicious activities, I find myself caught in the middle of a scandal that could ruin lives – especially Liam’s.
Now I’m juggling single motherhood, a rekindled romance, and a deadly secret that could cost us everything.
The Play
The stakes have never been higher, and the end zone seems further away with each play.
As Skylar and I confront the past, I’m pulled deeper into a web of lies, performance-enhancing drugs, and choices that could derail everything I’ve worked for.
Every snap feels like a gamble, and my NFL dreams hang in the balance. One wrong move could end my career before it even starts, but losing Skylar again? That would be the ultimate defeat.
To protect the people I love and secure our future, I’ll have to make the toughest play of my life. But with the clock ticking down and the pressure building, I’m not sure if we can come out on top.
Some risks are worth taking, though, and for her – for us – I’ll leave it all on the field.
Red Zone is a second-chance sports romance with a single-parent twist, packed with suspense, steamy moments, and a love that defies the odds – guaranteed HEA, no cliffhangers.

Thrice Bound by Nicole E. Kelleher

Thrice Bound
A Paranormal Romantic Suspense by Nicole E. Kelleher
Natalia Waever doesn’t belong. Not with the Norms of the world, nor with the Fascina. An imperfection in her DNA stole her birthright – the supernatural powers meant to protect and defend her. Even her family’s wealth and position can’t shield her from the whispers, the scorn, and the isolation. But that same broken gene makes her the perfect liaison between normal society and the secretive-but-fractured Fascina Order. She walks a treacherous line, and it’s cracking beneath her feet.
Bane Caron is feared for good reason – dangerous, powerful, and haunted by the blood-soaked legacy of his father, even his mother wants him dead. The fact that he’s also Natalia’s best friend doesn’t stop her from desiring him. And such forbidden unions are against Fascina law, for they unleash terrifying consequences.
When a string of brutal murders rocks their city, Natalia and Bane are forced into a deadly investigation. The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: the killer is one of them. But the real danger isn’t who’s hiding in the shadows. It’s Natalia’s big lie – secrets, that if discovered, will shatter her increasingly fragile world. She might be willing to risk it all… for Bane.

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.

And when an exotic new male comes into their encampment, things are set to change even more.

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.

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?

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.)

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?

Forging Chaos (Forging Series) by Lainey Davis

Sometimes you have to lose everything to win what matters most.
I had it all – speed, skill, and a one-way ticket to the pros. But one bad hit shattered my career and left me with a busted leg, a bruised ego, and no clue what comes next.
Enter Thora, my no-nonsense research partner who’s too smart, too fierce, and too beautiful for a washed-up guy like me. She’s got a sharp mind, big dreams, and zero patience for my pity party. Plus, she sees straight through my game face to all the broken parts of me, and instead of running away she challenges me to do better.
But just when I’m starting to believe I could have a second chance – with life and with her – she drops a bombshell: she’s leaving. Heading halfway across the world to chase her own dreams.
I’ve lost one future already, but there’s no way I’ll lose this one, too. Thora’s heart is the only prize that matters, and I am ready to go all in.

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.

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.)

Tanya is a six-time international-award-winning Australian author of Scottish heritage. Living in the alpine region of Australia, she believes in the values of integrity, sustainability, and community in a world where we place greater value on possessions than people. She enjoys posing philosophical questions that make readers think and reflect on the world we live in.

The Antipodes series addresses the question—if we gave young people the opportunity to start over, would they replicate the mistakes of the past? The follow-up series, The Latitude series, examines life in different societal models and considers what could happen if science is allowed to determine the human condition.

She holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, post-graduate qualifications in governance and management, and is an accredited company director. Tanya is an Australia Reads Ambassador and enjoys reading, traveling, mythology, and snow skiing while attempting to live sustainably with her partner and children. They are owned by a standard schnauzer, a fox-red labrador, and three rescue cats who co-manage their household.

The five-book Antipodes series comprises Project Hemisphere, The Space Between, Infinity, Circle of Protection, and Sessrumnir. The Latitude series comprises The 45th Parallel, Orenda, and Bifrost. She is working on the fourth book in this series, Triple Helix, a prequel to Project Hemisphere – Crossroads, and contributing to various anthologies raising funds for charitable causes.

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

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

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.
