Six weeks after her mother’s unexpected death, Diana Cameron-Hale is still learning how to breathe through her grief. The 53-year-old Jamaican widow is keeping busy, with only four days left to her daughter Rayna’s Christmas Day wedding. She needs—and welcomes—the distraction, since it keeps her from falling apart. What she doesn’t need is a blast from her past blowing in to stir up memories, needs, and desires that she thought she had extinguished over three decades earlier.
Fate—in the form of Rayna Hale—reconnects respected college professor and lifelong bachelor, Dr. Jackson Blake, with Diana, the woman he had never stopped loving. When unforeseen circumstances place him in her home for Rayna’s Christmas wedding, Jackson must reevaluate his decision to stay away completely from the woman who had broken his heart decades before. But he is no longer the boy he had been when she had parted ways with him. Now in his mid-fifties, he is secure in his career, confident in his worth, and finally ready to reclaim his woman.
Will this reunion bring them both the joy that life has stolen from them? Or will the season pass and leave them still mired in longing and regret?
The only thing worse than living with a hockey player? Pretending to date one.
Callahan Grant is the top hockey player at Wilder U and has the entire student body eating out of the palm of his hand. He’s impossible to ignore–and it has nothing to do with his infuriating smirk and everything to do with the fact that he’s my new roommate.
Neither of us is thrilled about it. Especially me, considering I currently despise hockey players.
But when Callahan and I strike a deal, I start to wonder if maybe I’ve judged him too quickly. He’ll pretend to be my boyfriend long enough to get my ex to back off, and if it works, he gets the room to himself at the end of the semester.
Desperate to move on from the scandal that landed me at Wilder U in the first place, I agree.
The rules are simple. Fake date. Fool my ex. Survive living together. And by the end of the semester, Callahan and I will be even.
Except Callahan makes fake dating feel a little too real every time his arm slips around my waist and his mouth brushes my ear. And somewhere between pretending not to want him and desperately trying not to, I forget why I hated him in the first place.
Because the problem with making a deal with Callahan Grant isn’t that he might break it. It’s that when the semester ends, I’m not sure I want him to keep it.
🏒Review🏒 It’s difficult enough that recent events have forced Nora to transfer to Wilder University but now she finds out that the room she has been assigned requires her to not only share a room but a bed with Callahan. She wants nothing to do with him until he suggests an arrangement that will get them both what they want.
Callahan is loyal and a total team player when it comes to hockey. He is also protective which is why he finds himself exiled from where the team is staying and in an unlikely living arrangement with Nora. Pretending to be a couple will hopefully result in her ex moving on and it might just result in him getting his own room. Let the fun begin!
The interactions between them were both humorous and hot and Callahan is swoony as once he realizes that he and Nora belong together he is all in and now he needs to convince her to take a chance on love with a hockey player.

Winter is the perfect time to snuggle up with your enemy. Just kidding. The destruction of his plans will keep me warm, and I’ll savor the taste of victory from a bet he foolishly thought he could win. All I have to say to his ridiculously handsome face is . . . let the games begin.
New York Times bestselling author, S.L. Scott, brings the heat this holiday season in With Love, Winter.
What kind of a sports reporter would I be if I freaked out on planes?
I’d get over it right now. I would take off alone without anyone placating me and force myself to never worry about this again. The vibration of the plane wheels against the concrete kicked up my pulse, but this would be quick. One terrifying minute and then I’d be fine.
I opened my eyes when Nate pulled at my arm.
“Really, Nate. I’m fine. Don’t make this a big deal—”
He took my hand in his, grazing his palm against mine as he laced our fingers together, tucking our joined hands in between us.
“Just squeeze if you’re scared, okay? I’ve got you, hotshot.”
Nate’s dark gaze locked with mine, a tiny smile on his lips as if we were sharing a private joke. I smiled back as I took in a full breath, despite the air he always managed to steal from my lungs.
My stomach relaxed and my shoulders eased as I focused on the glide of his callused thumb back and forth across the top of my hand. I squeezed back, letting the charge from where my skin touched his both calm and excite me.
Nate gripped my hand tighter as the plane sped up, the glittering New York skyline in the distance whirring past the window as we ascended, my belly dropping as we went higher, but not from fear.
Or not the same fear that I had been battling a few minutes ago.
Nate grinned and gave me a tiny nod, keeping hold of my hand until the plane coasted above the clouds.
“All good?”
“All good,” I choked out, squeezing his hand one last time before I slipped mine free, already disappointed by the loss of contact.
Now, whenever I had to fly, this was what I’d remember at takeoff, and I both looked forward to and dreaded the memory.
My life would be so much easier if I could just stop falling in love with Nate Becker.
“You,” I say, keeping my voice pitched low. “You’re the tech guy?” Beck leans next to the glass case with the display of Cedar Hollow’s history. “Guilty. Small town, big coincidence.” His smile tilts. “Hi, Lottie.” My name in his mouth does things it shouldn’t. I cross my arms tighter to cover my hard nipples. “Let’s recap. Last night was a one-time thing.” He tsks. “Who said that? You?” He looks entertained. “Because if you didn’t have a good time—” “I didn’t say—” “I have notes.” He pats his pocket like he’s about to produce them. “Your breathy pants. Your slickness. The way you were clenching my cock—” “Beck!” I slap a hand over his mouth so fast I nearly sprain something. “Do not say that here.” His eyes dance with amusement while his lips curve against my palm, warm and teasing. Then, he peels my fingers away, gently. “Why not?” he murmurs, voice dropping low, and wicked. “It’s true. God, Lottie, I’m still thinking about you gripping me. I swear I can feel you if I stand still long enough. And Oliver was right about your cookies, but they aren’t the only thing I want to eat every day.” Heat rockets through me. I take a deliberate step back like distance can fix the surge of desire rushing through me. “I’m a mom,” I say, crisp. “I don’t have time for…this.” “For orgasms?” His eyebrows lift. “For you,” I snap, then sigh because his grin says he knows I don’t mean it the way it sounds. “For messy. For complicated. I work two jobs. Oliver has school and hockey and now this festival project. I do everything.” His face softens; the teasing doesn’t vanish, but it shifts. “Maybe if you asked for help.” “Asked for help,” I echo. “That’s adorable.” “It’s practical.” “Beck.”
With the city of Dust now little more than a dedicated memory and the Midnight Guard threatening to destroy the world in its entirety, Raven and her unhappy commune of Fae and Infernal survivors try to survive.
While hunting the tainted remnants of the old city for hidden artifacts that might help them in their fight against the Guard, Raven discovers a curious statue they come to know as the Martyr.
But of course, life for Raven is never that simple.
Enter a veritable sh**tstorm of troubles that quickly spiral out of control, forcing Raven and Mia into an assassination attempt, signaling the end of the Hallowed World, and somehow placing her face to face with her father for a brief, confusing moment.

He was too fragile for the world that demanded strength.
He was doomed to die forgotten.
Sparrow is Comanche, son of a war chief, heir to a legacy of hunters and fighters but disease stole the body he was meant to have. While others ride to glory, he is left behind to guard the camp… until the world proves that survival is never fair.
When soldiers descend in fire and gun smoke, Sparrow makes a final stand that turns myth into blood-soaked truth. He dies a warrior at last.
And that should have been the end.
Instead, Sparrow awakens in Tir Na Nog, a brutal world of magic, monsters, and living systems where power is earned or taken. Here, gods bargain, death is temporary, and strength decides everything. Given a second life, a restored body, and bound to a dying trickster god, Sparrow must carve his place in a realm that makes no allowances for weakness.
This is not a story about chosen ones handed easy power.
This is a story about earning it.
Ashes and Ruin blends historical tragedy, Indigenous myth, and hard-edged LitRPG progression into a tale of identity, rage, honor, and rebirth. It asks a simple question:
If you were denied your destiny once…what would you become when given another chance
Sparrow has made a friend in this new world, and one he will not abandon.
