Christina Hovland has revealed the cover for On the Map!
Releasing May 10, 2024
From USA Today Bestselling Author, Christina Hovland, comes an accidentally married, marriage of convenience, football x popstar romance!
Professional backup singer Maya Mitchell keeps accidentally getting hitched in Sin City. Now, she’s back for her childhood best friend’s celebration and she’s vowed to dodge any new matrimonial chaos. There will be no more surprise ‘I dos,’ even if the margaritas flow and the chapels never close.
Denver’s heartthrob and most eligible bachelor, Sloan Steele, loves his single life. He loves it as much as he loves the football field. But, after one scandal too many, his management is tired of playing defense and asks him to take a time-out on the drama.
One chance encounter plus one drunken night equals Maya and Sloan as the city’s latest married couple—a blitz neither saw coming. Once the shock settles, they see the opportunity: a marriage is good for Sloan’s reputation. Meanwhile, Maya can use the spotlight to launch her solo career. But executing this play perfectly means sticking to the game plan.
No misunderstandings. No expectations. No falling in love.
As their faux-mance deepens, she’s scared of losing her heart and he wants to stop playing games. But do they have what it takes to go all the way?

THE LOVE FIXERS
Angela Casella
Release Date: May 2
Meet Angela Casella:
Angela Casella lives in Asheville, North Carolina in an almost-one-hundred-year-old house with her daughter, two dogs, and an ever-changing number of fish. She worked as a developmental editor for years, both as a freelancer and at Random House in NYC before she started writing (inspired by her friend and frequent co-author Denise Grover Swank!). Now, it’s become an addiction, and she’d rather not be cured, thank you very much.
She comes from a loud Italian American family, so she basically has a phD in bickering…er…banter.

Send help and wine. My sister is trying to set me up with the grump next door.
Claire
A few hours after losing my job, I get a call from a stranger who claims I’ve inherited property from my father. I assume it’s a scam, because my dad is very much alive. Turns out my mother is the liar.
I board a flight to my bio-dad’s hometown, hoping for answers, but the turbulence is so bad I worry we won’t make it. Declan, the hot, tattooed hunk next to me, is obviously terrified too. When the plane freefalls for half a second, he kisses me with the passion of a man who thinks he’s about to die. He seems to regret it immediately afterward—and we both regret it when we discover he’s my new next door neighbor, a complication neither of us wants.
To make matters worse, it turns out my bio-dad’s cabin is only half mine. The rest belongs to a half-sister I didn’t know I had—Nicole, a pink-haired private investigator and possible psychopath.
If I weren’t unemployed and broke, I’d leave, but this crappy half-a-house is my only possession. So I stay in the hopes that I can convince her to sell. Unfortunately, she seems intent on setting me up with Declan, among other manipulations, and her matchmaking tactics are…extreme.
Declan
I came to the mountains to hide and be left alone, and now I’m never alone.
Every time I turn a corner, I run into Claire Rainey. She’s tempting as hell, particularly now that I’ve had a taste of her, but I know better than to wrap her up in my trouble—or get wrapped up in hers.

Blurb:
From the author of the thrilling and spicy novel, Mine to Protect, comes a second chance, fake marriage, suspenseful standalone romance.
Millie
Top three things I didn’t expect to happen at the start of the year.
1. Becoming fake married for an FBI undercover assignment.
2. Infiltrating a creepy cult to rescue a young girl.
3. Running into the boy who broke my heart 10 years ago.
But here I am.
Now ‘married’ to is the same boy who vanished from my life, leaving my heart shattered.
I hate him, but I love him.
Fighting the pull to him is almost impossible, especially when he insists on calling me his wife.
Fake or not, it doesn’t stop me from wanting it all to be real.
Killian
I’m a broken man. After years of being used by the CIA the man I am now doesn’t deserve her, but that won’t stop me from using every second to make her mine again. While we uncover the facts, do a little breaking & entering, and minor kidnapping, I’ll make her see she’s always been mine.
And finally, tell her all my dark secrets.
Deep inside the cult the fake part of the marriage fades and sparks fly between us as we learn about the people we are now. We’re tested at every turn but my focus never shifts from keeping my Millie safe and completing the assignment.
We will make it out of this alive no matter what I have to do to have a future with her.
Mine to Shield is a standalone, dual point of view, forced proximity, dark romantic suspense. Each book in the Protection Series can be read as a standalone, but because of character crossover, they are best read in order. Please note this book is for mature readers due to detailed sexual content, foul language, violence, discussion of abuse, and a misogynist cult leader that you absolutely hate.

Title: Dead to Rights
Author: Jessica Prince
Series: Ashland
Release Date: April 8
Spicy Small Town Romance, Opposites Attract, Romantic Suspense, Bad Boy Biker
When I caught my husband having an affair, I picked up what remained of my tattered pride and broken heart and left the city behind, heading for a small town where motorcycles outnumbered cars three to one.
Ashland, Tennessee was where I planned to start over and become the woman I wanted to be; a woman who was fun and just a little bit reckless. The need to break out of my shell led to one wild night with a man I never planned on seeing again. But when the tattooed stranger showed up unexpectedly at my new job, he made it clear that once wasn’t going to be enough for him.
As the president of a motorcycle club with a checkered past, Courtland Pope should have scared me, but no matter how hard I tried to stay away, the pull to him was too strong to ignore.
However, when old rivalries breach the surface and the line between good and bad begins to blur, I find myself stuck in the middle. And as much as Pope wants me, he might not be able to protect me from the past.
**Ashland is a BRAND-NEW series of interconnected, standalone, small town romances.**

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.
Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.
In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.
Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.
