He finished his taco and tilted his head, considering me. The jack**s was so handsome and easygoing it made me want to rage. Not that I’d show him how he affected me. I was a pro at remaining icy cool.

Still, beneath the surface, I was ready to throw hands.

“It’s funny,” he said, picking up his beer. “All that power in Washington. Your big job and fancy clothes and degrees. But here you are, still the bad guy. Must be hard, coming home and slipping into second place again.”

Eye twitching, I ground my teeth, working to get a handle on my aggravation. I’d been attacked by a sheik’s bodyguards and private military contractors. Once in a private jet over the Indian Ocean. But never had I wanted to throttle a man so badly.

All the Zen, the breathing techniques, the therapy I’d done to ensure I wouldn’t crack, went straight to hell.

I picked up a taco, giving him a moment to bask in his insults.

Then I threw it.

The corn-shelled delicacy hit him in the chin with a wet slap. Sticky pork slid down the front of his shirt and a slice of fennel stuck to his jawline.

Silence fell over the brewery. Behind me, pint glasses clinked.

The two of us stared at one another.

The taco had barely hit his lap when it dawned on me that I may have overreacted.

Also, this would be major town news before I even made it to the parking lot.

Across the room, a phone was lifted. Dread swept through me. Great. This would be all over TikTok by morning.

Whispers spread across the space like wildfire.

“Taco.”

“She threw a taco.”

“At the mayor.”

Brighter Than the Stars 💙 Cover Reveal

Elizabeth O’Roark has revealed the cover for Brighter Than the Stars!

Releasing: October 15, 2026

Cover Designer: The Corners & Co

I was raised to believe the danger lived outside our walls. And Ford James looked like the most dangerous thing of all.

I’ve spent my entire life inside Bright Covenant — a religious community with rules for everything, a place where questions aren’t allowed. When my family is sent to heal Westside, a small Florida beach town, I arrive certain of two things: the world outside is exactly as dangerous as I was warned, and Ford James — who vandalized our home before we’d even unpacked — is proof.

He’s the reason I had to leave home during my final year of school. He’s the reason half the senior class wants me gone. But he also makes me question everything I know, and want things I’ve never wanted before—things I’m meant to save for my husband.

Come June, I board a plane to Bolivia, and will return engaged to a member of Bright Covenant.

Which means I have one year to decide if Ford James is really the villain. Or worth burning my world down for.

Neve Snowe doesn’t need to settle down. She is already settled in her small harbor town, with a cozy beach cottage and part ownership in the family-run auto repair shop. She doesn’t want a man, but she likes them. And she has one golden rule: only sleep with flatlanders. You know, the guys who never intend to stay in Lovewell Landing, only use the coastal area for a brief holiday.

And the last thing she desired was the unexpected . . . to be expecting.

Tate Love spent his summers in Lovewell Landing as a teenager, but somehow he’d missed the beautiful girl who turned into a spunky woman, daring him to jump into the icy ocean one New Year’s Eve, then slept with him near the town’s sacred well, holding spell-binding waters.

He never thought he’d see her again, until nine months later, a business prospect brings him back to the area.

Now, the man who longs to be tied down finds that one night planted the seed to everything he ever wanted, while he holds the pen that could sign away all she’s ever loved.

Welcome to Lovewell Landing, where autumn is in the air, pumpkins decorate every doorstep, and a little fiasco might cause opposites to fall in love.

Fall Love is a steamy, romantic comedy companion novel to The Holiday Post and continues the romances of the Snowe sisters in the beautiful and quirky small town of Lovewell Landing.

Keep Me Close 🏒 Now Live

Keep Me Close by Jennifer Sucevic is now live!

Knox McNichols and I have one thing in common—we can’t stand each other.

He’s the NHL playboy who enjoys getting under my skin, and thanks to the marriage between our siblings, avoiding him isn’t an option.

When my ex refuses to take no for an answer, I show up at Knox’s penthouse with a desperate proposal—pretend to be my boyfriend.

The plan is simple: convince my ex I’ve moved on.

Except Knox has a few rules…

Rule #1: No flirting with anyone but him.
Rule #2: If my ex contacts me, I tell him immediately.
Rule #3: My location stays on at all times.

His rules should send me running.

Instead, they make me wonder if the man I’ve spent years fighting with is hiding something entirely different beneath his easy smiles and reputation as hockey’s favorite playboy.

The more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the sparks between us—or Knox’s determination to protect me at all costs.

When pretending starts to feel a little too real, I realize there might be something far more dangerous than my ex refusing to let me go.

It’s discovering that the man I’ve spent years fighting with just might be the one I can’t live without.

Keep Me Close is a swoony, boy-obsessed, enemies-to-lovers pro hockey romance featuring fake dating, off-limits tension, a hero who’s been secretly pining from page one, and no third-act breakup. It’s book five in the Chicago Railers series and can be read as a standalone.

🏒Review🏒
Knox is a professional hockey player who despite his reputation with other woman is only interested Cheyenne since their lives became connected by their siblings. For the first time in his life, he isn’t sure how to convince her of his feelings until she comes to him looking for help to distance herself from her ex. Pretending that they are together might just give him the opportunity to show her they are meant to be together.

Chey is feeling stifled both by her career and her ex and she is nervous about finding a path forward. She went into this situation with Knox knowing that he will help her with one situation, but she got so much more. He shows her with everything he says and does that her dreams can be achieved and that he wants to be there every step of the way.

The interactions between them are both humorous and hot. Knox is a man that any woman would be lucky to have as his feelings and devotion to her were never in doubt and her happiness is his only goal. There is also a great cast of secondary characters that only enhance this entertaining story.

🏒Billionaire Hockey Team Owner

💚Boss/Employee

🏒Opposites Attract

💚Forced Proximity

🏒Slow Burn

💚Damaged/Emotionally Guarded Hero 

🏒Found Family

Julian Langley has everything a man could ever want—a sprawling Manhattan townhouse, a multi-billion-dollar portfolio, and ownership of the New York Vipers, one of the most coveted franchises in professional hockey. What he doesn’t have, and will never allow himself, is anyone who matters too much. Carrying a devastating loss that completely reshaped him, Julian has since built his life around the certainty that nothing will ever cost him that dearly again.

Harper Hawthorne isn’t looking for a billionaire. She’s looking for a way to keep the lights on. Single-handedly holding her world together since she was a teenager, Harper works two jobs, lives in a rent-controlled apartment on the Lower East Side, and sacrifices everything for her younger brother. When an unexpected phone call lands her a chauffeur job behind the wheel of Julian’s car, she takes it for exactly what it is: a paycheck.

Julian notices everything about her. Harper tries not to notice anything about him. What begins as a professional arrangement starts to crack at the edges when Harper proves, repeatedly and effortlessly, that she’s unlike anyone Julian has ever encountered before. She’s too sharp to ignore, too genuine to keep at arm’s length, and entirely unimpressed by his world in a way that makes it impossible for him to stop thinking about her.

Julian doesn’t do commitment. Harper doesn’t believe in fairy tales. But some collisions are inevitable and some people are worth every risk you swore you’d never take again.

No stranger to pain, Torin “The Tornado” Correy had been hit by the best and never once tapped out. Yet, a little wisp of a thing accomplished that impossible feat with nothing but a strappy pink shoe. Like a Cinderella from a ball for the criminally insane, she fled the instant Big Ben struck midnight—leaving her weapon behind.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “It was love at first sight?” Yeah, that doesn’t really apply here since for Diem and Tor, it was lust at first fight.

When The Smoke Clears🔥Now Live

When The Smoke Clears by Jewel E. Ann is now live!

From USA Today bestselling author Jewel E. Ann comes a bittersweet second-chance romance about deferred love, impossible timing, and the courage of choosing happiness after devastating loss.

Everleigh Reichart and William Landry fell hard—and far too fast. Their weeklong romance ended the moment Will, a twenty-nine-year-old firefighter, learned the truth: Everleigh was seventeen. He walked away to protect them both. Destiny had other plans.

Eleven years later, Will is still running into burning buildings, while Everleigh has become a brilliant psychiatrist. When a house fire strands her on his land, their old feelings ignite like patient embers. But she’s desperate to keep concealing the childhood trauma that has shaped her life, and he’s struggling under the weight of his father’s terminal illness. Too soon, the strain snaps their fragile reunion, flinging them farther apart than ever before.

Now Everleigh must face her past to salvage a future with Will…if he can accept that loving her includes the broken parts too. But first, he needs to come and find her—this time by faith, not fate.

🔥Review🔥
Everleigh is very smart which hasn’t always made it easy when it comes to her relationships with others. She has loved Will for over a decade however what she didn’t tell him created a rift that has him wanting nothing to do with her. She has recently moved to his hometown for her career and him and she is willing to fight for the man she has always wanted.

Will is a firefighter who felt betrayed by what Everleigh didn’t tell him and the consequences it could have brought. Having her back in his life is not what he wanted and he is very clear about his feelings as he has enough turmoil he is dealing with and doesn’t need to add her even if she makes him feel alive in a way he has never felt before.

This is a second chance for Everleigh however it is filled with emotion as they must not only deal with the past but everything that is going on in the present as well. Everleigh is an intriguing character who only wants a place and people to call home while Will struggles to deal with his complex emotions for her and the chaos she brings into his life.

Release Date: August 24, 2026


I lost my heart a long time ago to one woman.

The love of my life.

The mother of my children.

I could weather any storm with her by my side.

But I lost sight of that somewhere along the way.

Holding her in my arms as she nearly died tore me to shreds.

I vowed a long time ago that I would never let anything happen to her, and I failed.

And now she was ready to leave.

Not because I didn’t protect her, but because I lost sight of who we were.

That was all about to change.

Because if there was one thing I knew for certain, it was that life just wasn’t worth living without her by my side.







🎉Review🎉
Clara has devoted her life to her family, her husband and the ranch but now that her kids are grown and pursuing their own paths she wonders what happens next.   She needs more than the status quo but trying to show her husband isn’t easy and she is conflicted as she wants it to include him but in a different way than the routine they have become accustomed to.

Ben is going through his own challenges as the changes that needed to be made to make the ranch viable have shaken everything he has ever known.   That combined with learning that his wife is feeling like she needs more than the life they have built has him struggling to keep up as not doing so could result in him losing the life they have built.

This is a relatable story about a couple who have reached a turning point and must find a path that will give them what they need that balances emotion, humor and understanding.


 




I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

Men of Evercrisp Orchard 🧡 Cover Reveal

Abby Millsaps has revealed the cover for Men of Evercrisp Orchard: The Complete Series!

Releasing: September 24, 2026

Cover Designer: Silver, Bitter Sage Designs

A complete dark hockey romance series from USA Today bestselling author Abby Millsaps. This digital box set includes Almost Ravaged, Almost Rotten, and Almost Ruined, plus new bonus scenes featuring Sawyer and her men.

My head and my heart go to battle every day over of the hockey player I once loved, the competent professor I crave, and the sweet apple orchard owner I can’t stop thinking about.

Two of them say I don’t have to choose, while one is hellbent on keeping me all to himself.

I spent three years trying to get over my brother’s best friend, Tytus Tremblay, only to slingshot right back into his orbit when we’re reunited at Holt University. But the pleasure the Mercer Eden and Noah Henry offer me—individually, and together—is the primal distraction I live for.

Then Tytus makes a life-altering choice that affects us all. Delusions spiral toward disaster as my men attempt to undermine and sabotage each other. It’s not until they nearly succeed that I crumble.

I refuse to choose between them, so I’m opting out entirely. I’d rather break my own heart and mourn the loss of them for the rest of my life than let them hurt each other ever again.
