ACE

Kat Mizera

Release Date: February 23

Available in Kindle Unlimited

He lives in the shadows.
She’s the one he never forgot.

Life as a CIA operative is full of danger but it’s also painfully lonely. Living under the radar doesn’t leave room for relationships, let alone the white-picket-fence future she wanted.

There was someone once.

I walked away.

And I never stopped regretting it.

Now my years of service are catching up with me, and I’m finally ready for something different. I just never expected that change to be Shannon—or that she’d be in serious trouble.

One kiss. One mistake. One feeling I can’t shake.

The man in me still wants her.

The soldier in me will protect her at all costs.

She doesn’t want my help. She doesn’t trust the life I live. But I’m done walking away—especially when someone is watching her, closing in, and pushing us toward a confrontation neither of us is prepared for.

Even if saving her means losing her… again.

This romantic suspense features second-chance love, a protective alpha hero, high-stakes danger, and a woman who may be the key to his redemption—or his undoing.

Author’s Note: Ace falls into the Royal Protectors series as book 1.5 and was formerly published under the title “Cocky Protector” as part of the Cocky Heroes Club series.

TEST OF TIME

Harlow James

Release Date: April 10

Meet Harlow James:

Steamy Romance Author

Harlow James is a pen name I use to protect my identity as a high school teacher. Keeping those two roles in my life separate is necessary, but also fun! It’s like a live two lives, and anonymity gives me the opportunity to be bold and take risks in my stories.

I stumbled upon romance novels in 2018 when I picked up Driven by Kristy Bromberg, and I was obsessed. I had just lost my grandmother too, so reading offered me an escape from reality and a chance to grieve on my own terms.

About a year later, I got an idea for my own book and started writing. I researched self-publishing and jumped in with both feet. I had no idea what I was doing!

But now I’ve built a business and hobby that I LOVE! I have an outlet that’s just for me. When I write, I’m not a mom, a wife, or a teacher…I’m a woman who gets to tell stories that no one else can.

My books are the perfect blend of heartwarming moments, full-bellied laughs, and PLENTY of steam to melt your Kindles 😉 And there are always elements of me sprinkled in to every character and story that I write.

When I’m not writing you can find me reading or spending time in my kitchen. I love to cook and feed my family and friends. Otherwise, you can find me watching comedy specials with my husband, camping with our kids, or taking naps. I live for naps 😉

Blurb:

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.

I just hope this is a test we both survive.

One Bed + One Fake Wedding Date = Two Broken Hearts by Morning?

Sara

With the prospect of spending the weekend with my clingy, narcissistic ex, I made a rash decision. My penchant for reckless abandon finally works out, because now the sexy, muscled man I spontaneously kissed says he’s coming to the wedding with me…and pretending to be my date. The problem is, the more time I spend with him, the more he becomes my new favorite fantasy. How did I fall in love with a stranger, or is this the magic of a wedding weekend clouding my mind?

Hayes

When the gorgeous, curvy stranger plants one on me in the middle of the sidewalk and calls me her boyfriend, I probably should have run. But truth be told, I was already a goner. Sara Peters is headstrong and sassy, with a body straight out of my fantasies. I wasn’t looking for love until I found her. Now, I have one weekend to convince her to be mine….forever.

Sara isn’t about to miss her cousin’s wedding even if it means that her ex will be there as well.   While trying to escape a situation with her ex she sees Hayes and quickly decides to kiss him and pretend he is her boyfriend however she never expected that he would go along with it.

One kiss from Sara and Hayes knew that they were meant to be together.   He is more than happy to pretend to be her date while he convinces her to make it real.

From the moment that Hayes met Sara he was all in as they take us on a steamy journey that includes humor and all the feels.

⏳ Love Worth Waiting For

From USA Today best selling author Scarlett Cole, writing as S. Cole, comes an electrifying MMF, grumpy x sunshine x lightning, motorcycle club romance.

Isla

I wanted to be loved by a biker with my whole heart, but all they ever took was my body.

Somewhere along the way, I stopped recognizing the woman I’d become.

Inheriting my Nanna’s rundown house is the fresh start I need.

A life away from the club. Away from men who only ever take.

So the last thing I need is Jackal and Shade moving into the only other house on the street…and offering me more than just help with renovations.

Shade

I’ve never thought I was worth loving.

I’m grumpy, withdrawn, and come with baggage.

Jackal saw through all that and loved me anyway. For me, he chose monogamy.

Men like me don’t get one great love, let alone two.

But I’m looking at Isla differently now…and wondering if there’s a way to love her without destroying what we’ve built.

Jackal

I fell in love with Shade the day I met him, even though he had no intention of loving me back.

He wanted monogamy, and he was worth the sacrifice.

But now he’s looking at Isla the same way I am.

And I can’t stop imagining a life where the three of us choose each other.

Until violence hits, and we don’t know which of us is the target.

We’ve been given the kind of love you only dare to hope for.

And we’ll burn the world down to protect it.

BLURB:
Neutral Zone is a friends-to-lovers romance featuring an unconventional hockey hero and his live-life-to-the-fullest best friend who have to get honest with each other when life gets real.

I’ve fallen in love with my best friend. I know, I know. That’s a terrible idea, but it’s going to be fine because we have a plan. A best friends with benefits plan.

We’ll keep spending our days and nights together. We’ll keep cheering each other on and making each other laugh. We’ll keep staying up all night in my room, watching true crime documentaries the way besties do.

But now it’s going to get steamy. Very steamy.

In order to keep our friendship intact, boundaries have been set, and as long as we don’t cross the line, everything will be fine. Seriously. Trust me. It’s a great plan, and it’s all going to work out, and there’s zero chance that everything will go up in flames.

Although I do have a history of accidentally lighting things on fire…but really, that was just a couch. And a house. This is different. I swear.

Neutral Zone is the fourth and final book in Season Two of the Bainbridge U Hockey series, and it can be enjoyed as a standalone. If you’re a sucker for a hot mess hero with a heart of gold and a feisty heroine who isn’t afraid to fight for the man she loves, then get ready for Mickey and Viv!

She escaped her ex, broke, and pregnant.
Only to be abducted by his identical twin brother…

Darragh:
I left the Irish Mob behind years ago.
Cut ties. Built a quiet life for my daughter.
One without bloodshed or betrayal.

Then my twin resurfaced.
Jailed. Reckless. And tangled up with a woman no one could identify.

Except I did.

She’s Bratva royalty. Missing. Pregnant.
And now tied to my family by blood.
If the Russians find out what my twin did, they’ll come for all of us.

So I did what I had to.
I paid her bail.
I brought her home.
And I locked her down as my nanny.

She’s under my roof now.
Carrying a child that could ignite a war.

I tell myself it’s a strategy.
Protect my daughter. Shield my heart.
But when I see her laughing with my little girl,
the ice around my heart starts to melt.

Now I want things I shouldn’t.

She thinks I’m the good twin.
I’m just the one who knows how to hide the monster better.

🎧Review🎧
For the wellbeing of Sophie, his seven-year-old daughter, Darragh has distanced himself from mafia side of his business and is focused on his daughter and his career as a doctor. When he finds out that his twin brother, Cormac, has been arrested he isn’t about to abandon him however when he arrives to help he realizes how far his brother has fallen and instead chooses to protect Ana, the woman who is carrying his baby.

Ana is a Bratva princess who escaped being forced into a marriage she didn’t want only to find herself being held captive by Cormac when she finds out she is pregnant. Trying to escape him results in her arrest until Darragh arrives and ensures her release. He takes her to his home to protect the baby she is carrying where the feelings the develop for each other brings escalating danger to their door.

I enjoyed how protective and possessive that Darragh is when it comes to Ana and the child she carries as he claims them as his own while Ana is strong and independent as she fights for the future she wants. Greg Salinas portrays the facets of Darragh’s character both when it comes to how caring he is when it comes to those he loves and how he will do anything to keep them safe while Lexi Evans brings out the strength and resilience of Ana as she faces every challenge head on.

🌾Opposites Attract

I grew up on Wildhaven Storm Ranch, raised on hard work, determination, and tradition. Now I’m fresh out of college and chasing a dream that feels just out of reach—working at the historic Belicourt Resort Hotel while trying to convince my oldest sister, Matty, to let me turn part of our family land into a guest ranch and spa.

The Belicourt has a long-standing reputation for being haunted—full of whispered legends, unexplained sightings, and guests who swear they’re not alone in its halls. I think it’s charming. Mysterious. Marketable. My new boss, Porter Garrison, doesn’t agree. He’s all rules, rigid schedules, and closed doors, and he’d much rather I stick to spreadsheets than old legends and small-town folklore.

But I see potential in the past—in the stories people tell. And behind his cool, controlled exterior and expensive suit, I see the man beneath—the cowboy full of fire and buried passion he’s trying desperately to hide.

Maybe the hotel isn’t the only thing haunted. Maybe some dreams are worth fighting family for. And maybe, after the storm, we both need something to believe in—especially each other.

Crown of Ash and Oath

Genre: Romantasy

By Susan Horsnell – USA Today Bestselling Author

Goodreads: 

Release Date: April 3

Preorder on Amazon

US | UK | AU | CA

Coming to Kindle Unlimited

Blurb:

Crown of Ash and Oath follows King Pawelinus of Reopheral and Queen Yvaine of Echuqurian after war strips them of every easy option.

Gaivaria isn’t a single enemy you can bargain with or kill; it’s an empire—structured, patient, and built to absorb smaller kingdoms through armies, bureaucracy, and influence that reaches as far as ink and coin can travel.

With the Gaivarian Army pushing in from the borders and working quietly inside their courts, King Pawelinus and Queen Yvaine are forced into an alliance that can’t be made public without them becoming a target.

They trade intelligence, coordinate disruptions, and make decisions that have to look routine to everyone watching. Every move has to hold up under scrutiny, because the empire won’t need a battlefield victory if it can turn their systems against them.

Their pact begins as strategy, but it doesn’t stay there. Under pressure, trust stops being theoretical, and proximity turns into something neither of them can dismiss.

King Pawelinus learns that Queen Yvaine’s control isn’t coldness—it’s survival.

Queen Yvaine learns that the King’s discipline isn’t pride—it’s an oath he means to keep.

As crowns replace titles and losses turn to ash, their partnership becomes the one thing those in control of Gaivaria can’t easily predict: two rulers choosing each other as deliberately as they choose resistance.

The romance isn’t a distraction from the war.

It’s part of what makes them dangerous.

Sometimes all it takes is one spark, one touch, one brave leap—to turn a slow burn summer into forever…

Bronwyn

All I needed was a fresh start.

A quiet, peaceful place to open my dream bookstore. Space to just…breathe.

Carolina Cove was perfect for that.

Falling (literally) into the fire chief’s arms? Not part of my plan. Because the truth is, I don’t know if I’m even capable of love anymore.

Or if I deserve it…

Gabriel

Love, for me, has always meant heartbreak and loss. So, duty became my refuge, the firehouse my home.

Until her.

Bronwyn shined a light into all the dark corners of my life, making me want things I swore I’d never have again.

Hope.

Forever.

Her.

But I built the walls around my heart for a reason. Letting her break them down is a risk I’m just not sure I can afford to take…

Slow-Burn Summer, book 1 in the Hearts on Fire series, is a sweet, emotional, friends to lovers, small town contemporary romance/women’s fiction beach read featuring a silver fox fireman hero and a heroine who is much stronger than she realizes.

Slow-Burn Summer (ebook)

💙Review💙

Bronwyn has come to Carolina Cove as a way to rebuild her life after the passing of her husband.    She is making friends, has her bookstore but she definitely isn’t looking for love now and maybe not even in the future.

Wolfe is the Fire Chief who experiences when it comes to love have left him believing that he is meant to be single.   When he meets Bronwyn he is drawn to her  and a friendship develops but when friends no longer seem to be enough will they be willing to open their hearts to more?

I did enjoy the slow burn of this story as both Brownyn and Wolfe have some turmoil in their pasts that they must overcome so that they can give each other what they need.   The secondary characters add some humor to the story and are always there to support this heartwarming couple as they find their way to each other.

At least that type of love.

Until him.

He was broken.

It was safe.

But then I went and did the unexpected. 

I fell in love with him, knowing he would never love me back.

Knox

I thought I had it all.

I was playing hockey in the NHL.

Three beautiful kids and a wife who loved me.

Until I walked in on her in bed with my brother-in-law.

Everything I thought I had was a lie.

She was everything I thought I didn’t want, and when I least expected it.

I just hope when I finally figure it out, I haven’t lost her for good.

Alone.That’s the way FBI Agent, Santino Alvarez, prefers to live his life.

To serve, and protect. The oath Santino took the day he was sworn in and one that he fully intends to keep. Playing pretend and blending in.

Nothing is as it seems.

Especially when he collides with Silva Hunt and sparks begin to fly. Romance was never supposed to be in the cards. But Silva awakens something in Santino that he hasn’t felt before.

As things heat up between the two of them, so does the chase between Santino and The Reaper.
