From USA Today Best Selling author Mary Catherine Gebhard comes a brand new dark romcom about a girl who makes a dating profile to live out all of her spicy, bookish fantasies.

He was all my twisted, dark book boyfriend fantasies come to life. Masked. Tattooed. Dirty talking—and totally unhinged.
Morally grey? Check.
Stalker? Check.
A very illegal, very bloody hobby? Check.
Possessive, obsessive, and calls me a good girl? Check. Check. Check.
I should probably call the police.
I definitely shouldn’t take dirty selfies because I know he hacked my phone.
But what’s a girl to do?
It’s my very own stalker romance.

 

 

 

 

 

About the Author:

I started writing the moment I could read. My first characters were Wibbley and Squig and I used MS Word and clipart to bring them to life when I was a kid in elementary school. I started seriously thinking about being a writer in High School and I remember the day exactly, because it was such an epiphany. I was always so uncertain. You know how everyone was always asking what you wanted to be when you were older? Well I NEVER could decide.

I wanted to be a marine biologist.

An actor.

A FIRE FIGHTER (thank you Joaquin Phoenix in Ladder 49 for that phase).

One day it hit me—A WRITER. I could do it ALL. Then you couldn’t stop me from writing. I penned my first novel at fifteen (but don’t ask me to show it to you, because it’s like I was in competition to beat the thesaurus). When I was diagnosed with a chronic illness, writing became even more important, because it became my therapy. When I wrote my characters, suddenly I wasn’t so alone.

These days you can find me daydreaming about where to travel with my husband, singing in my car, or lost in the newest K drama. And planning my next novel, of course

Shadowed

The Beautiful Dead Trilogy #1

By Mona Archer

Goodreads

Genre: Romantasy

Cover Designer: Jaqueline Kropmanns

Release Date: August 28

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒏 𝑨𝒎𝒂𝒛𝒐𝒏 

US  | UK  | CA  | AU 

Coming to #KindleUnlimited

One Dark Window meets Penny Dreadfuls in this gothic grimdark romantasy about a girl searching for her missing brother and falling for a mysterious boy who may be a vampire. It is set in an alternative Victorian world that worships incorruptible, beautiful relics, whose Keepers find themselves caught up in a war of magic.

BLURB:

Simona Sarsi is about to become Keeper of her House relic, the famed Myron. The only problem? She can’t hear his voice inside her head, as she’s supposed to.

Her melancholia over the recent disappearance of her brother may be the cause, but much more is at stake than her personal woes. A series of murders and unexplained magical sightings rock her city, and then there’s Jack, a mysterious boy she rescues from an abandoned necropolis.

Who is he? He’s pretty and brooding and has strange powers, but what’s more concerning is that he can’t remember his past.

Meanwhile, the timing of her brother’s disappearance is starting to feel less and less like a coincidence when she discovers that the island’s Governor and the Church are covering up dangerous secrets.

With the help of Jack and her friends, she works to untangle the web of lies and magic—only to find that the relics are stirring in their tombs and chaos is about to break loose.

The dead are supposed to stay dead, not turn out to be blood-sucking vampires; the world has to follow the natural laws. But on her island, the old gods are about to start a war, with Simona’s family and friends at its very heart.

Banks Hawthorne doesn’t lose.

Not in boardrooms. Not in backroom deals. And definitely not in Halo City—where money talks, secrets kill, and the underbelly has teeth.

But his brothers’ hunt for their missing father drags Banks straight into a blood-slick maze of power players, dirty cops, and men who smile like friends while they sharpen knives behind their backs.

Then she becomes the target.

She’s the one loose end no one saw coming—too brave, too stubborn, and suddenly standing between Banks and the truth. Protecting her should be simple: lock it down, move her somewhere safe, burn anyone who gets close.

Except she doesn’t want saving… and Banks doesn’t know how to want anyone this much.

Halo City wants her silenced. Banks wants her in his arms.

And the moment he claims her, this stops being business.

Because in a city like this, love is leverage— and Banks Hawthorne is about to turn ruthless.

❤️Review

Not only are Banks and his siblings trying to find the father they had believed passed away but now it appears that two of his brothers have been abducted. The trail leads to Halo City so his decision to take an assignment is twofold as not only will it give him a cover for his personal investigation, but it will allow him to protect Anniston as well.

When Anniston realized that all was not as it should be she decides to do the right thing which has placed her in danger. Her first meeting with Banks is both humorous and adventurous and the only way to ensure the people responsible are held accountable requires a little forced proximity and action.

Flirty banter, a touch romance and suspense all add up to an entertaining story which leaves us needing to know what the future holds for the Hawthorne family.

Lark Carrington came to Coral Bell Cove for a fresh start. A fading inn, a quiet life, and a chance to rebuild something steady after everything she’s lost. She didn’t expect her first real connection to come in the middle of chaos.

Holt Wright is used to being underestimated—long before he ever put on a uniform. The easygoing one. The goofball. The brother no one expected much from. Until he became a firefighter. Now, when the alarm sounds, he’s the one people trust when it matters most.

The one who shows up.

The one who stays.

Even for her.

At First Spark is a tender, slow-burn small-town romance about healing, showing up, and discovering that sometimes the person who saves you… is the one you choose to stay for.

Blurb:

It is only days before the majority of Humanity lands onto the Crucible as they finish their Tutorials and Jeb still has no clue what City it will be only that it will not be the one he is in. In the meantime, Jessica Lewis, the nerdy girl who took the portal that was meant for her older Brother, is lost, scared, looking to the broken Jeb to save her, to teach her, to make her strong enough to stand on her own or at least to stand in his shadow without being obliterated. There is only one place according to the Blood-elf, Nes, to do so, the Endless Dungeon, the place Jeb and Bose had been dumped in, to begin with, the place they almost died multiple times, the place of their birth within the Crucible of War.

Both have some payback to give to the lizards who almost took their lives when they were only Copper Ranked, weak. Now they are Iron, two Tiers higher, and with many plans and little time. They need to get Jessica stronger while Jeb needs to keep his mind from breaking on the anvil of madness if they are ever going to protect his soldiers lost within the Crucible. The Empire is watching ever closer as the exiled Network Journalist, the dhampir, Shovani Tor, decides he and Bose and Bogie are her ticket back to relevance. All of it is spiraling in ever growing circles. Throw in the Greenskin hit squad led by the Vulture, hired by a Weaver through the Bloody Skull and you have a shit storm in the brewing.

Will they survive? Will Jessica and Nes find their own fates tied to the broken old soldier? Will Bogie get his rent paid?

I came to Whispers to start over. Just me, my baby, and a bakery that smells like second chances.

No more judgmental glances. No more family who treated me like a stain they couldn’t scrub out. Just flour, sugar, and the quiet hope that I can build a life worth living.

I didn’t expect to meet Griffin.

Grumpy, gorgeous, and maddeningly closed off, he’s the town’s most elusive billionaire and the man who built homes for the rich but never made one for himself.

He sees me. Not just the bump or the baggage, but the woman underneath. And when he looks at me like I’m the only thing that’s ever made sense, I forget how to breathe.

But trust isn’t something I can afford. My past has taught me to be wary of everyone. Even if the grumpy builder says he’s ready to fight for something real.

I just hope he knows what it costs.

🥃Review🥃
Savannah has recently moved to Whispers to start a new life for her and the baby she is expecting. When her family found out she was pregnant thy had their own plans for what would happen and she wants no part of it. She is opening a new bakery however funds are tight so when Tanner suggests that Griffin could help her with some of the renos at no cost she offers to pay with baked goods.

Griffin is a man with a devastating past who never believed that love or a family would be part of his future. When he meets Savannah his first instinct is to protect her and be there for her which includes having them both face their pasts.

Griffin may come across as grouchy, but he has a heart of gold and will do anything for those he loves while Savannah shows how strong and resilient she is as life keeps throwing her challenges to overcome. The voice of Ryan West was the ideal choice for the character of Griffin while Savannah Peachwood allows you to feel what Savannah was experiencing.

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED

That’s the one thing Brace Cordova is convinced of when he’s released from a five year stretch in a military prison.

He figures the best he can do is spend the rest of his days as a freighter pilot and vicariously live out his dream of a Commonwealth Fleet career through his cousin, Commander Letessa Cordova.

His plans unravel when he’s accosted by gangsters, rescued by smugglers, and swept up in the search for an ancient Earth relic.

With a vengeful crime lord and a Commonwealth Fleet gunship both hot on his heels, Brace soon realizes he might not live long enough to ever get a taste of the quiet life.

The Cordova Vector is book one in The Brace Cordova Space Opera Series. It’s an action packed science fiction adventure filled with diverse alien races, ruthless criminals, dedicated soldiers, and millennia-old mysteries.

IT’S ABOUT TIME

Harlow James

Release Date: July 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 😉

Pretending to be fake engaged to my enemy might not be my brightest idea.

But it is definitely necessary.

On the brink of the biggest car show of my career, I start to panic because it’s the first time I have to see my ex since our break-up.

Spoiler alert: it wasn’t clean or amicable.

Then when Elliot Thorne’s ex-fiancé shows back up in town, I devise a plan for both of us to get what we want: a buffer from our exes with a dash of revenge.

The problem is Elliot takes his role to protect me too seriously.

He brings me food while I’m working to make sure I eat. He even silences the self-doubt I feel on a day-to-day basis.

And before I know it, he has me on my knees in my garage, and on my back on the hood of my car.

The hate I’ve harbored toward him melts away as fast as my panties, and I soon realize we have more in common than I thought.

Then he tells me a secret that makes me reevaluate our entire relationship.

Now I’m left to consider if something fake could be real…

And that maybe it’s about time I admit that Elliot isn’t my enemy after all.

JJ Hanson is as incredible as a father as Beckett is. And damn if that isn’t my kryptonite. As much as I despise this attraction to him, I’d never wish those traits away. I absolutely adore his daughter, and how could I not want him to be a great dad for her?

 “I’m leaving shortly,” I reply.

 “We’re going to the same place. Might as well ride together,” he says. 

I swear every eye in the room is on us, like they’re all waiting for me to explode.

 Avery peers up at me, her eyes the same glacier blue as her father’s. “You should remind him he’s not the boss of you.” She gives me one of her signature saucy smiles. “You’re the boss of him.”

 The room erupts into laughter, the tension breaking. Grinning, I pull Avery onto my lap, hugging her tight. Her mother disappeared recently, so I’ve made even more of an effort to show her love and affection since. I still don’t know why she left, but that woman has caused more than enough grief for a lifetime. It serves me well not to think of her. I will, however, always have her little girl’s back. Even if she happens to be JJ’s daughter. 

“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to remind him repeatedly.” I dart a look at JJ, who is wearing one of his many guarded expressions, his focus on us.

 “I’m driving.” His eyes instantly light up like he’s surprised by my response. “Fine by me, Coach.”

 That’s the other thing I got wrong when I pictured my future. I’m not the legend in the NHL. I’m just the legend’s coach.
