✨EXCERPT: TEST OF TIME by @harlowjamesauthor releasing April 10th! This will be a simultaneous release in Audio with the amazing narrators Aiden Snow and Ava Erickson in DUET!
I close the distance between us and crush my lips to hers. When my tongue darts out to find hers, she shoves me away, but her eyes are wild and her cheeks are flushed. “What the hell, Rhonan?”
The only sound resting between us is our heavy breathing, our chests rising and falling with each labored inhale. Our eyes bounce between one another, the silence deafening even though that seems impossible.
But before I can say anything else, Vienna launches herself at me, jumping into my arms and wrapping her legs around my waist, smashing her lips back to mine.
My adrenaline kicks in, closing her front door behind me and then spinning around, pinning her up against it while our tongues clash and my cock presses against my zipper. I thrust my erection right between her legs, spurring a moan from deep in her throat, but Vienna doesn’t miss a beat. She writhes against me, creating the friction I know she needs.
“God, you’re infuriating,” she mumbles against my lips.
“I’m aware. You’re not a saint either, you know.”
Vienna deepens our kiss, yanking on the strands of my hair between her fingers. “God, Rhonan. Yes.”
Our mouths continue to move over one another, and even though I know I should stop this—whatever the hell this is—my body won’t let me.
April’s Cowboy Tanner by Eve London releases April 15th!
There are three rules I live by:
✅I don’t work with Kincaids.
✅I don’t cross lines.
✅And I don’t make the same mistake twice.
Waverly Kincaid makes me break every one of them.
She’s stubborn, relentless, and the one woman I should stay far away from, but she doesn’t take no for an answer. Not at my ranch. Not in town. Not when I make it clear she’s stepping into territory she has no business being in.
Now I’m stuck helping her find a horse, spending more time with her than I can afford, and breaking rules I’ve lived by my entire life.
One kiss was a mistake. Wanting her again is worse. Because Waverly doesn’t back down, and she doesn’t let me hide behind the feud or my reputation. Every mile, every argument, every moment alone pushes us closer to something neither of us can control.
She’s not just off-limits… she’s dangerous. And the worst part?
In the shattered city of Newfris, magic isn’t a gift—it’s a curse. In the year 2311, survival means joining a Crew, and no one fights harder than Phoenix, leader of Shock Crew. With her partner Beam by her side, Phoenix defends her territory, fending off rival Crews and navigating a city torn apart by war and magic.
But when Waller Crew mounts a vengeful attack, Phoenix is forced to unleash a deadly power that nearly consumes her. As dark forces rise, she discovers an even greater threat: the ancient Eldrim, masters of a magic far more dangerous than any human can control.
As a catastrophic war looms, Phoenix must confront her deepest fear—the addiction to her own magic. But to save the world, she may have to sacrifice everything, including herself.

The girl behind the bar with a guarded smile has something in her eyes that pulls me in. The one who insists she doesn’t need protecting—even after I watch them threaten her right in front of me.
Brinley isn’t just a risk. She’s a secret that certain people don’t want getting out.
I knew she was my head coach’s daughter. What I didn’t understand was why no one else did.
I’ve spent my whole life building a name on the ice. Now I’m being warned to stay away from her or risk losing everything I’ve worked for.
And the pressure doesn’t just come from the bench. The threats aren’t subtle anymore—stopping at nothing until she leaves town. They expect me to fall in line, focus on blocking shots, keep my mouth shut, and choose my career over her.
But they’re wrong.
Because this time, I’m not just protecting the net.
I’m protecting her. And the truth they’ll do anything to keep silent.
🏒Review🏒 Brinley has comes to Rixton U to not only attend school but to learn more about the father she doesn’t know. From her arrival in town she can’t help but wonder exactly what is going on when she finds herself bouncing from one suspicious event to another and it always seems to be Cooper who is there for her when she needs someone the most.
Cooper is the goalie for the University hockey team that is coached by her father. From their first meeting he can’t deny his feelings for Brinley, and he isn’t about to deterred by the actions that others are taking to keep them apart or the danger she finds herself in. He is determined to protect Brinley and uncover the truth no matter the cost.
This author manages to combine all the aspects of an entertaining story between the emotion, the humor, the suspense and most of all the romance between these two compelling characters. There is also a great group of secondary characters that add additional depth to this story.
As the daughter of the head of the Thorpe Syndicate, my life was decided for me from the beginning. I was expected to look a certain way. Act a certain way. To put the syndicate above my own desires. To marry the son of the head of another crime family in a deal brokered by my father.
The night my arranged betrothal was announced was when everything changed.
My brother’s best friend chased me into the woods and stole my first kiss.
Now, my engagement is drawing closer. I’m doing my best to survive one day at a time, keeping my head down while I attend classes at Cranham University, a former Victorian prison and home of the Cranham Kings hockey team.
But he’s there, a constant reminder of what happened in the woods. His hateful gaze tracks me in the hallways and the lecture halls. I loathe him. Yet when he’s flying across the ice with his teammates, I can’t help but notice him.
And the way he makes me feel? That’s a secret I’ll take to the grave.
Tensions are rising. Something is brewing, and my family risks being caught up in it all. I don’t know who I can trust, and as for Jay?
He’s a complication I can’t afford, because the consequences would be devastating for us all.

✨TEASER: TEST OF TIME by @harlowjamesauthor releasing April 10th! This will be a simultaneous release in Audio with the amazing narrators Aiden Snow and Ava Erickson in DUET!
Falling for the single dad next door wasn’t part of my plan when I moved to Blossom Peak.
I accepted the teaching job for a fresh start, far away from the controlling ex I left behind.
But Rhonan Hart is everything you could ask for in a man. Strong, dependable, helpful, an amazing father to his daughter, Ellis… and looks beyond sinful in his sheriff’s uniform.
Except his daughter is my student, and he’s determined to pretend like our connection doesn’t exist.
(I’m determined to pretend he didn’t see me naked when my shower blew up, and he tried to save me.)
But soon, he’s sneaking over to my house at night—warming my bed, tearing down his walls, and making me want something I knew I couldn’t have.
My life is a mess, one I’m still trying to clean up.
But this man and his child give me a glimpse of a future I want, no matter what the cost.
Just when I think I’m on the path to moving on, fate decides to give us the test of time.
Laurel’s head snaps up and I’m mesmerized by how beautiful her eyes are… a dark denim blue, which reminds me of the night sky just before pitch-black sets in. They widen, pupils flaring for a heartbeat, and her mouth parts slightly. It’s like she’s trying to figure out why on earth I just materialized in front of her.
And now is the moment.
I brace myself for recognition.
For disaster.
I have no clue if Laurel has ever tried to look me up. I don’t even know if she likes me enough to have wasted the energy. It would not have been easy, and she would’ve had to dive deep to make the connection between William Elliott and Kace Elliott. But she’s also a smart cookie and I’m ready for that possibility.
She studies me harder—eyes flicking occasionally to my hairline, to my jaw, then back to my eyes. It’s a deep perusal and I wonder if she likes what she sees.
“You know…,” she says slowly, “I’m pretty sure you’re not following the rotation rules of speed dating.”
I grin with relief because she has no clue who I am, either as William or Kace. “I think the rules are more like… guidelines.”
She stares, trying not to smile, but fails. Just a little curve of her lips, but it’s there. “I’m pretty sure rules are rules.”
“And somebody somewhere is saying rules are made to be broken,” I quip.
She tilts her head. “Are you a rule breaker?”
Chuckling, I shake my head. “On the contrary, I’m an absolute rule follower. Rules are there for a reason because they’re safe, predictable and offer comfort.”
“Yet you didn’t follow the rotation rules,” she points out.
“Beautiful woman exception.” I offer a smile that shows the dimple in my right cheek. “Everyone knows about that one.”

This is the MULTICAST DUET version of Charmer by Kayley Loring, narrated by Jason Clarke, Emma Wilder, Erin Mallon, and Teddy Hamilton. The content is the same as the original Jason Clarke and Mackenzie Cartwright dual-narrated version, which is still available. Jason Clarke sings all of the song lyrics in this multicast version and he plays guitar for most of the songs.
Charmer is a standalone story, but if you listen to SLEEPER: The Palisades Edition first you’ll be familiar with most of the characters.
NICO
She serves me coffee late at night when I come around to write lyrics, but it’s not the caffeine I’ve gotten addicted to.
We’ve got the spark, but she’s the only woman in town who seems to be immune to my charms.
When it’s time for me to leave for my cross-country tour, I just can’t imagine not seeing her for months.
So I offer her a job on the road with me.
KAT
Everyone in LA knows that Nico Todd has a way with songs and with the ladies.
What he doesn’t know is that I would love to let him have his way with me.
But my life can only revolve around one infuriatingly cute guy—the six-year-old that I live with.
Imagine my surprise when Nico finds out about my little boy and tells me to bring him and my mom on the road too.
And imagine Nico’s surprise when he realizes my son is the biggest charmer of them all.
🎧Review🎧 Nico has turned his career as a teenage actor into a career as a musician. He starts out going to the diner to work on his music, but it doesn’t take long before he realizes the real reason he is there is his feelings for Kat, the waitress.
Kat is a single mother TO her six-year-old son Tate and he is her world. Although she is attracted to Nico, she isn’t about to be distracted by a musician who will be out of town more than he is around. When Nico offers her a career opportunity that is very tempting he suggests that she bring her family with her. Let the fun begin!
Not only do they share an intense chemistry, but their interactions are also humorous, and the characters draw you in and you will fall in love with both Nico and Kat. The audio performance only makes this story even better as Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder give depth to Nico and Kat and their performance is rounded out by the performances of Erin Mallon and Teddy Hamilton, and the musical component is something you don’t want to miss.
