WHISKEY CHARM

Walker Rose

Release Date: May 1

Meet Walker Rose:

Thanks for joining me for a cocktail and some girl talk. I live the dream in my own slice of paradise where I get to enjoy colorful sunsets from my rocking chair while I’m working. I have my very own romance hero with Mr. Rose and there’s more than a few little rose buds running around. A couple aren’t so little anymore! We keep things interesting with cats and a dog and the critters that roam though the yard (fingers crossed the mountain lions stay away).

Blurb:

I came to Huckleberry Springs to regroup—not to flash a cowboy while rescuing some strays from a ditch.

Haven Hennessy is everything I don’t want anyway: A man who puts himself first. A man who’d rather have fun than face commitment. A man who can charm a girl right out of a good decision. So he can kiss my red lace panties goodbye the moment I figure out how to ditch this town.

Yet he takes in the puppy and three kittens I rescue from the side of the road. He’s loyal to his brothers and his company. And he makes it his mission to give me new experiences, like fly-fishing, horseback rides, and getting naked in a tack room.

My stay in this small Montana town is only supposed to be temporary until I can launch a new career. Am I as wrong about that as I am about Haven? Because he makes me feel something no one else ever has: wanted.

But the more I get to know Haven, the more I realize I was right all along. Haven doesn’t let people in. Not fully. Not when he’s spent his whole life being left behind. So when my dream opportunity finally manifests, I have to leave before I break all my rules and my own heart in the process. I don’t dare fall for his whiskey charm.

🤠Review🤠

Despite her complicated relationship with her father when Preston finds herself at a crossroads both personally and professionally she decides to spend some time with him to regroup. Her arrival into town and her love of animals creates quite the first impression on Haven however she knows what she wants and it isn’t a cowboy with commitment issues.

Haven has a complicated family dynamic when it comes to his mother which has him believing that he is destined to be single. He is happy that his siblings have found their one but he doesn’t see that in his future even though the feelings that he has for Haven is unlike anything he has ever felt before.

Even though they fight it there is no denying the chemistry and connection between Preston and Haven and after what they have experienced in the past it was so rewarding to see them open their hearts and learn to trust each other. The performance by Will Spears allows us to experience the struggle that Haven is having when it comes to his feelings for Preston while Marie Hawkins brings out both the strength and sass of Preston.

The Devil and His Fawn by Charity Ferrell is now live!

The devil has decided he wants me …
And what he wants, he gets.

After being expelled from three universities, I’m sent to Saint Vale University, a secluded college for the world’s richest and most corrupt heirs.
That’s where I learn about the Night Sons, a secret society of masked men who rule the campus from the shadows.
Every year, each Night Son claims a Fawn—a female student chosen to serve as a pawn, plaything, or … sacrifice.

Once a Night Son chooses you, your fate is sealed.

When Enzo Marchetti, son of the most feared Mafia boss in the world, selects me, I’m pulled into a world of manipulation, obsession, and violence.

The harder he tries to break me, the more I refuse to bend.
And the more obsessed he becomes with owning me.

He starts seeing me as more than just a Fawn.
And I begin to see the man behind the mask.
Because beneath Enzo’s ruthless exterior is someone who’s loyal to his brotherhood and dangerously protective of the people he loves.

But when my past comes back to haunt me, Enzo faces an impossible choice:
Honor the oath he swore … or destroy everything for the girl he was never supposed to want.

🖤Review🖤
Blair didn’t know what to expect when she found herself at St. Vale University, but it certainly didn’t include attracting the attention of Enzo or all that it would entail. After all that she has been through she isn’t about to bend to his will even though the depth of his dark side will surprise her at times.

Enzo comes from a powerful family and isn’t a man that you want to get on the wrong side of. He isn’t certain what it is about Blair that brings out the possessive side in him but the one thing he does know is that he will protect her from everyone except himself.

Blair may be still feeling the impact of her past but Enzo is just the man to bring out the fight in her and Enzo may be dark and dangerous, but he allows Blair to see another side which he has hidden deep and the heat between them fire.

Blurb:

Gideon had been dreaming and dreaming and dreaming, a dream he never seemed to able to wake from. And to call it a dream was as broken a description as a child could crayon draw. A nightmare mired in the macabre was the signpost planted in the blood of its concrete. A nightmare shivving his spine and soul with every moment it crawled forward

It was filled with all those he loved, calling for him, pleading, screaming, to save them, to help them and yet he could do nothing but sleep, nothing but dream, circling on repeat over and over again.

And the images were a caricature of a reality cracked in madness, Shira and So’Sha, grown, blades and death in their eyes, Shadow and Moon standing on two legs, L’Sana and Ari in a cage dreaming their own dreams, chained in their own devils, flashing images of a universe at war with itself, the Shadowborn whispering again and again ‘Soon Gideon, soon….be ready..”

He wanted to shatter his prison, wanted to howl, wanted to reach out to those that were his world, his everything but only sleep and dream, sleep and dream…the true War had come and he was drowning within his own mind, choking on the detritus of impotency, eternity in chains that didn’t give a shit.

“I will slaughter them all!!”

Gideon would wake and people would die, a thousand times over they would die!!!

He screamed this at himself, over and over, lost in the dream, in the macabre broken of breaking. It was the prayer he kept lamenting to no-one, kept spitting into the pillow of his insanity as the bars to his cage, tightened, crushing his flesh and his hope, endlessly cruel, endlessly ambivalent.

He would wake, a promise, and a killer would come with him.

Embers and Echoes by R.C. Stephens is now live!

Coming to Maple Valley was supposed to be temporary.

Work the summer on the orchard.

Keep my head down.

Find answers about the best friend I lost years ago.

Simple.

Until I met my boss.

Asher Thorne is everything I should stay away from–gruff, protective, and impossible to ignore.

He’s an MMA fighter chasing his next big win.

A man who’s spent his life moving from town to town, never staying long enough for anything or anyone to matter.

The orchard is the only thing anchoring him here.

And he’s made one thing clear from the start.

Mixing business with pleasure is a terrible idea.

Too bad avoiding him is impossible.

Not when the way he looks at me makes my pulse trip.

And not when one kiss from him makes me want things I’ve never wanted before.

Falling for him was never part of the plan.

But the closer I get to the truth about my friend’s disappearance, the more Asher insists I stop digging.

Because Maple Valley has secrets.

And someone wants the past to stay buried.

But I came here looking for answers.

I never expected to find the one man who could derail my plans.

Or ruin me completely.

🩵Review🩵
Claire has come to town looking for answers when it comes to the disappearance of someone she loved. It was the loss of this friend that changed the course of her life, and she can’t afford to be distracted from her mission by anyone and that includes Asher, her boss.

Asher is balancing his career as a MMA fighter and helping at his family’s orchard which doesn’t leave much time for anything or anyone else. When he meets Claire he is surprised by the intense feelings he has for her, but he also knows that her quest is placing her in danger and he is determined to protect her from everyone and that includes herself.

I enjoyed seeing the relationship between Asher and Claire as his protective nature and her independence has them challenging each other in the best ways as they take us on an adventure filled with emotion, intrigue and romance.

Why you will love this book…

🌺Small Town

💛Firefighter

🌺Forced Proximity

💛Grumpy/Sunshine

🌺He Falls First

💛Slow Burn

🌺Found 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.

What begins as a single moment—smoke, heat, and the steady presence of the man who pulled her back from the edge—turns into something neither of them can ignore. Long days restoring the Carrington Inn. Late nights that feel a little too honest. A connection that builds slowly… and burns deeper than either of them expected.

Because Lark doesn’t trust easily. And Holt is still learning what it means to be the man people finally believe in.

And when the past Lark tried to outrun starts to catch up with her… they’ll have to decide if this is just a spark—or something worth risking everything for.

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.

He slid into her inbox. She fell in front of the world.

Kingston

As a professional hockey player, I’m used to getting fan mail.

I never send it.

Until Evie Alexander sings the national anthem at our game.

She has the voice of an angel, the eyes of a siren, and a mouth I can’t stop thinking about.

The whole arena watched me make a fool of myself trying to meet her.

They also watched her walk away like I didn’t exist.

She thinks I just want her in my bed.

She’s wrong.

I want her in my bed and wearing my ring.

If writing my way into her life is what it takes? I’m all in.

I don’t quit…and I definitely don’t lose.

Evie

As a musician, fan mail comes with the job.

But nothing prepared me for this.

Kingston Monroe’s letters are charming and dangerously sincere, not at all what I expected from the cocky hockey star who embarrassed me at his game.

I promised myself I wouldn’t fall for him.

Then he shows up at my concert…and I fall anyway.

Hard enough that the whole world hears it.

Now I have to decide if the sweet, shameless man in my inbox is real… or if I’m just another game he’s determined to win.

🏒Review🏒

Evie is a rising star with a compelling voice who has been asked to sign the national anthem at a hockey game.   As part of the engagement, she agrees to meet the team before the game where she shares an unforgettable encounter with Kingston.

Kingston is a professional hockey player who is smitten by Evie from their first meeting.    When she leaves before the game is over he starts flirting with her through direct messages to convince her that he isn’t looking for a good time but a future.

The banter between them was entertaining and Kingston was determined in his pursuit and not about to give up until he claimed the woman who stole his heart.

Billionaire bad boy, Harrison Bennett, is the most popular boy at Stanthorpe Academy… and he’s suddenly obsessed with me?

Genevieve
Fresh off a breakup and deep amid a personal sexual revolution, I throw caution to the wind and let loose for one night. Just my luck that the angry, broody boy from English, who looks like he’s good with his hands and may or may not star in all my nighttime fantasies, is suddenly interested in more than my notes. He is a walking red flag, but it turns out I’m colorblind. It’s senior year, and you only live once, right? Let’s hope I can survive the inevitable heartbreak.

Harrison
My obsession with Genevieve is my deepest secret. What she calls broody indifference, I call self-preservation. I fell for her instantly three years ago, but I’ll ruin her if I get too close. And then one night, all the planets and stars align, and I know I can give her what she needs. Now, I need to convince her to be mine forever.

This steamy standalone instalove high-school romance is bully-lite, dual POV, no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA.

❤️Review❤️
When Genevieve transfers to Stanthorpe Academy it is unlike any school she attended before and the transition isn’t made easier by Harrison, an entitled fellow student, who is anything but friendly. She has had feelings for him for a few years, but it wasn’t until a few years later that his animosity for her were hiding how he really felt.

Due to his complicated family situation Harrison has tried to protect Genevieve by not letting her into his life. That situation comes to a head when she ends her relationship with her boyfriend and now he will do whatever is necessary to claim her as his own.

A little turmoil and intense chemistry collide as Genevieve and Harrison finally acknowledge their true feelings for each other and the love they were meant to share.

I blinked my eyes open to a blank screen. Turning my head, the first thing I could make out was the white sleeve of Lee’s shirt. When I swiveled the other way, my cheek grazed the same cotton material stretching over his chest. I’d dozed off and somehow landed on Lee, snoozing next to me, his arm gripping my waist.

How did we end up like this? I shifted to sit up, but Lee tightened his arm around me, drawing me closer as he leaned his chin against my temple.

“Sleep, baby,” he said in a raspy whisper.

Oh God, he thought I was Katie—or possibly someone he’d slept with after her. Pondering either option turned my stomach.

The right thing to do was shake him awake, but I stilled instead. Of all the times I’d thought of what it would be like to wake up with Lee, this would be the closest I’d get to the real thing, even if he was dreaming of someone else.

Indulging most likely made me a masochist, but I couldn’t resist, even for only a minute. I pressed my hand into the cushion to push off the couch and away from Lee.

“Stella,” he mumbled, sinking his head deeper into the back of the couch cushion and tightening his hold. “Don’t go, baby,” he whispered, nuzzling my hair.

Stella?

“Surprise me.”

Without missing a beat, she grabs the closest bottle. It happens to be a Foster House whiskey. The one I named.

“Nice choice.”

She holds it up and studies the label. “Foster House Gold,” she says flatly and slants her gaze toward me. “Haven’s Rye.”

“Foster House Gold is what we call the Huckleberry Springs facility. We make all the fun stuff. Foster House is in Denver, and they make the tried-and-true whiskey that lines the shelves.” My chest puffs out a little. “Haven’s Rye is one of mine.”

“I don’t like rye.” She gives me an almost apologetic smile. “I don’t like whiskey.”

“I can change that. If you want.”

She thinks for a moment, then presses her hands onto the counter and leans in. “Why would I want that?”

A smile twitches at my lips. “Because it can be quite enjoyable—as long as it’s not overdone.”

“Have you ever overdone your whiskey, Hennessy?” Her voice is almost a purr.

“Before I really knew about it, yeah. Now I respect it. It’s an art.”

“It’s whiskey,” she says flatly, but she can’t hide the interested light in her blue eyes.

“It’s an experience.”
