When I’m confronted in the woods by a man with a chainsaw and a gorgeous face, I should’ve known it would end poorly.
But when I end up in the killer’s house instead of chopped into little pieces, I don’t know what to think. Not when he promises me that he won’t hurt me, and especially when he tells me that I can’t leave.
Not unless he can trust me.
He can’t, of course. I’ll tell anyone that will listen that this monster cut up some man in the moonlight, even if he promises that it had been deserved.
He’s lying, because there’s no way anyone deserves what he did.
Earning his trust is an act, but when the lie starts to fail, I find that the man underneath the terrifying mask is something altogether different than I could ever expect. He’s charming, sweet, and his obsession with me is dangerous enough that I know I should run far and fast before either of us can act on it.
Can a monster like him ever love a girl he found in the woods, or am I destined to become Sunday dinner for a recovering cannibal and the family he swears to hate?
The moment I witness a murder, my quiet, careful existence goes up in smoke. I’m thrust into the world of Santiago Hernández, Central America’s most ruthless cartel leader.
In exchange for my life, I’m placed under his watchful eye. Day in and day out, he waits for me to betray my promise of silence.
The longer I stay in his world, the deeper I fall for the glimpses of the man beneath that handsome yet cunning exterior. The man whose possessive touch ignites a long-lost part of me.
But I should know better than to open my heart to a cold-blooded criminal with a laundry list of deadly sins and secrets. Especially when he has no idea who I really am.
Because when the lies unfold, he’ll discover I have a list of sins and secrets of my own.
Under the fearless leadership of Captain Jordan Threat, the people of the Carivian Islands have fought valiantly for their freedom. But as they stand on the brink of victory, a secret weapon threatens to destroy their revolution.
To turn the tide of the war, Jordan seeks help from a new ally… who is also an old enemy. Commodore Erika is a bewitching yet sadistic dominatrix, and a former Imperial officer. Her loyalties are fickle, but she may be the rebellion’s only hope. If she can be trusted…
When one of Jordan’s beloved crewmates is abducted by the Imperium, he leads a rescue mission that uncovers dark secrets about Governor Jakjobb’s malevolent endgame. But as Jordan learns the truth behind his own powers, he fears a greater evil may lurk within himself.
In the crucible of battle, Jordan and his crew of beautiful lovers find strength in each other as they are drawn closer than ever before. But will it be enough to vanquish the Imperial tyrants and liberate the Carivian, once and for all?
With heroic battles, tender moments, and a dash of sexy spice, Magic Steampunk Pirate Booty 4 is an explosive conclusion to this epic saga of titillation, devotion, and revolution!
Bailey Hart has mastered the art of staying small. A lighthouse-bookstore, a quiet life in Coral Bell Cove, and enough romance novels to drown out the heartbreak she swore she’d never repeat. She’s sworn off big leaps, big risks, and especially the boy who once left her love note—and her heart—on full display.
Crew Wright was supposed to have it all. The charming quarterback with a Southern smile and a future paved in stadium lights… until an injury sent everything crashing down. Now he’s back home to heal his shoulder, his pride, and the parts of himself he buried beneath fame. He’s not expecting Bailey—the girl who saw him before the world ever did.
What starts as borrowed tools, paint-splattered afternoons, and late-night confessions quickly turns into something neither of them can outrun. Bailey wants to protect her heart. Crew wants a second chance to prove he won’t break it.
But when old wounds reopen and the world comes calling for him again, they’ll have to decide if love is something you chase… or something you stay for.
At First Play is a slow-burn, banter-filled, small-town romance about forgiveness, falling again, and finding the one person who feels like home—no matter how far you’ve run.

𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝: 𝐚 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 (𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟑) by USA Today Bestselling Author Louise Bay is coming on January 6th, 2026! He’s an uptight New Yorker. She’s a real-as-it-gets farm girl from Colorado. They’re from different worlds, but their worlds are about to collide.
Marry the right girl. From the right family. With the right last name.
I’m Jack Alden—the only son of the Alden dynasty. The kind of New York family that’s been around since ships were made of wood and fortunes were built on steel.
My mother’s been trying to find me a “suitable” wife for years.
So naturally, I fall for a woman who couldn’t care less about any of it.
Iris Williams.
I first saw her at the New York City Ballet—crying in the stalls like the music had cracked her open. She didn’t know who I was. She wasn’t performing for anyone. She was just… real.
One night with her, and I remembered what it felt like to actually breathe.
Then she disappeared.
Months later, I find her again—on a fruit farm in the middle of Colorado, hurling raspberries at me like she’s auditioning for a food fight. Turns out, Iris is smart, stubborn, and not remotely impressed by a billionaire with a trust fund and an overbearing mother.
She makes me laugh.
She makes me think.
And for the first time in my life, I want something that isn’t written in my family’s history books.
But old money comes with old rules.
And loving Iris means breaking every single one.
They say you can’t choose where you come from.
Maybe not.
But you can choose who you fight for.
And this time, I’m choosing her.
Because when it comes to Iris Williams—I don’t just love.

💗Review💗 Wren has shared a special friendship with Axel that was destined to be so much more until life got in the way. They haven’t had any contact since she left a couple years earlier however when her life implodes she returns to her hometown and the best place to start over is by working for him at his ranch which will mean facing the past and the events that tore them apart.
Even though Axel was hurt by Wren’s departure and that she didn’t give him a thought when she left that doesn’t diminish the feelings he still has for her. Seeing her again it is like they were never apart however they still must deal with the pain in the past as well as the complications in the present.
Wren and Axel have always belonged together, and the depth of their feelings shines through whether they are disagreeing or giving into the love between them. Axel is determined to be there for Wren, both personally and professionally, and he is determined that nothing will ever come between them again.
Who cares if the soulful blue of his eyes lures me in every time he stares at me like he wants to either kiss me or kill me? It might be both. Either way, he looks good.
