MORALLY BLACK BETROTHAL

Nicole French

Release Date: November 14

WILL BE AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

HE DOESN’T NEED A WIFE. HE NEEDS A WEAPON.
UNFORTUNATELY, HIS SWEET FAKE FIANCEE IS ABOUT TO BECOME HIS WEAKNESS.

Brendan
They call me the Black Prince.
Heir to Blackguard Equity. First in line for the CEO crown. Ruthless, precise, untouchable—until my father decides to move the goalpost.
No wife, no CEO seat.

So I find the one woman who can play the part.
Simone Bishop. The sweet, small-town candy striper I met years ago, who sat by my father’s bedside when no one else could stand him. She’s sunshine wrapped in an apron, with flour on her hands and eyes too innocent to belong anywhere near me.
But she needs my money. I need her hand.
Four months. One shared address. Zero feelings.

Simple. Until I start wanting to mess up that perfect hair in my bed every night. Until I start wanting to keep her.

Simone
I should’ve said no.
Brendan Black is everything I’ve been taught to avoid—grumpy, bossy, and so intense it feels like my heart’s on a leash when he looks at me. But the family farm is days from foreclosure, and his offer is too good to be real: pretend to be his fiancée, live in his penthouse for four months, and walk away with enough money to save the farm twice over.

I can handle this. I can survive the way his eyes linger. The way he says my name like it’s a command. The way my pulse stutters every time we’re in the same room.

It’s all fake… until it isn’t.

Because somewhere between the first kiss in public and the first kiss in private, I stopped pretending.

And if I’m not careful, the Black Prince is going to ruin me—in the best and worst ways.

MORALLY BLACK BETROTHAL is the first standalone novel in the Morally Black Billionaires series.
Warning: May cause uncontrollable sighing, blushing, and an inability to think about anyone but Brendan Black for days. Proceed with swoon-caution.

About MERRY LITTLE KISSMAS (Coming 10/28/2025):

Wanted: A fresh shot at love for the holidays. But fake dating my brother’s grumpy best friend? He’s my new client, for Santa’s sake!

As a professional matchmaker, my biggest job this holiday season should be simple: find a date for the sexy single dad hockey player—aka my brother’s best friend—for his team’s fancy Christmas Eve gala. 

Sure Rowan’s hot as a crackling fire and spicier than a gingerbread man, but he hasn’t just sworn off romance. The Christmas hater has made a bet that I can’t find him a holidate.

What’s a matchmaker to do?

Win, of course. Even if it means fake dating the grinch myself to get him ready for the real thing.

Only…these fake dates at Christmas tree farms and hot cocoa competitions in the snowy small town of Evergreen Falls start to feel a little too real as I get to know the man behind the scowl. Somewhere between kisses under the mistletoe and a snowed-in night in his cabin curled up by the fire (where the stockings aren’t the only thing hung), I realize I’m in over my elf-loving head.

And when Rowan opens up to me at last about his painful past, I’m determined to give my brother’s best friend the holiday he deserves.

But what if the only gift I want him to unwrap this season is… me?

Tropes: Holiday romance, brother’s best friend, fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, small town, Christmas competition, matchmaker romance, workplace romance

THE TEMPTATION OF TRUTH

Brit Benson

Release Date: November 14

Meet Brit Benson:

Brit Benson writes real, relatable romance. She likes outspoken, independent heroines, dirty talking, love-struck heroes, and plots that get you right in the feels.

Brit would almost always rather be reading or writing. When she’s not dreaming up her next swoony book boyfriend and fierce book bestie, she’s getting lost in someone else’s fictional world. When she’s not doing that, she’s probably marathoning a Netflix series or wandering aimlessly up and down the aisles in Homegoods, sniffing candles and touching things she’ll never buy.

Loving her will ruin my life, 

But I’m tired of living a lie.

Mabel Rossi is the heartbeat of The Hometown Heartless.

The famous drummer with fast hands, faster wit,

and a light that shines brightly even from the back of the stage.

She’s temptation in lipstick and lace, and I’m just her manager’s niece.

Married, invisible, and completely out of place.

Taking the job on tour was supposed to be a harmless adventure.

Now that I’m here, far from home and my husband,

I’m starting to remember who I was before I lost everything,

and it’s Mabel who I have to thank.

Between stolen glances and whispered truths,

She coaxes me from the darkness,

Until I can no longer hide from the lies I’ve buried under the life I don’t want.

I’m married to a man I’ve never loved.

She’s so far out of reach it hurts to even want her.

But in quiet hotel hallways and backstage corners,

I start to crave things I shouldn’t.

Even if it’s reckless. Even if it’s wrong.

Because with Mabel, I start to feel alive again.

When she touches me, the fog lifts,

And suddenly, I’m not so scared of tearing it all down just to feel the sun.

🎧The Dom Who Loved Me

A routine mission…

Sean Taggart is hunting a deadly terrorist, and his only lead is the lovely Grace Hawthorne. She’s the executive assistant for an employment agency Sean suspects is a front for illegal activities. To get the truth, he is going to have to get very close to Grace, a task he is all too eager to undertake when he discovers her deliciously submissive nature.

…turns into a dangerous seduction.

Soon, Grace Hawthorne is living a double life. By day, she is the widowed mother of two college-aged sons. By night, she submits to Sean’s every dark desire. She’s living out her wildest fantasies of pleasure—intimate acts of trust she’s only read about. As passion engulfs her, a murderer strikes, and Grace learns that Sean has a deeply hidden agenda. Will Sean choose his mission and break her heart or be the Master of her dreams?

🎧Review
From the moment that Sean saw Grace he was intrigued by woman who seemed to hide her sensual side under her business demeanor. He has been tasked with investigating the company where Grace works and determining who is responsible and that includes her. Finding out she wants to learn the submissive lifestyle only makes him want her more however there is a lot to overcome including the truth about who he is.

Grace is a widower who has two sons in college. She may be attracted to Sean and even though he is fulfilling her every fantasy she also knows that she must protect her heart as she isn’t sure why a younger man like Sean would be interested in her.

The suspense keeps you on edge, the surprises keep coming, the characters draw you in, the banter is humorous and the heat between them intense. The audio performance by Ryan West manages to bring all the characters as well as the story to life.

“You need a husband to get the house of your dreams?”
She nodded, and her gaze strayed to the window like she was imagining working in the home that could be hers if she had a wedding ring. “It probably needs some work. Linda’s been renting it, and the current tenants are out at the end of May. She said the place could use some updating, and I don’t have the time or the funds.”
She needed a husband and a contractor. I needed a proofreader and a project that could really get my name out there. The Perez house was a gem in Coal Haven. If I could tie my name to those renovations…
No. That was crazy.
Or it was the leap I needed to finally secure the job that would give me the stability and flexibility I needed to be a single dad to my son. “I have an idea.”

Blurb:

A secret neuroscience project. A war the world wasn’t ready for. The fate of humanity on the line. A decade ago, the U.S. government shut down the Cranio-Genesis Project after it spiraled out of control. Now, the world is paying the price. U.S. President Paul Schmidt is thrust into a conflict with Iran, only to face an unprecedented military threat: mysterious Iranian weapons and superhuman soldiers capable of crushing the U.S. military in a matter of days. But there’s more to the story—an untold connection to the Cranio-Genesis Project.

As global chaos erupts, Schmidt must confront the project’s original creators, Drs. Heidi and Peter Davidson, who hold the key to understanding the mysterious force behind Iran’s rise. But the answers they offer come at a price—the twelve test subjects of the failed project are still alive, hidden, but unleashing them has significant implications.

With alliances shifting and the world on the brink of collapse, the clock is ticking. Can the Davidsons’ patients help President Schmidt save the future? Or will humanity fall to a force they never saw coming? Fast-paced, thrilling, and filled with suspense, this first installment in a gripping sci-fi trilogy will leave you hungry for more.

An undercover operative must choose between his mission and the woman who could be his downfall in this passion-fueled romantic suspense novel by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brittney Sahin.

Rescuing Seraphina Torres wasn’t part of Delta Shield Security’s plan, until an undercover operation gone sideways changed that. But as quickly as this beautiful and mysterious woman enters Ryder Lawson’s life, she disappears.

His team’s new mission is simple: track Seraphina down and turn her over to the government. But from the moment they find her, nothing goes according to plan. Because Seraphina isn’t just running—she’s hunting. And she refuses to let anyone stand in the way of her revenge. Not even Ryder. But when a deadly conspiracy pulls them both into the crosshairs, their only chance for survival is by working together.

From Mexico to Costa Rica, they navigate a treacherous world of cartel warfare, corruption, and unlikely allies—including a reformed drug runner with an underground fight club and old friends with questionable loyalties. Trusting the wrong person could get them killed…and trusting each other might be even more dangerous.

But the deeper they go, the stronger the fire between them burns—and soon, it’s not just their lives at stake, but their hearts.

💚Review💚

While working undercover investigating a Mexican cartel Ryder and his Delta Shield teammates attend a party.    While there he meets Seraphina, who he believes is employed by the cartel, and the sparks fly however he has a mission to complete, and she disappears before they can take anything further.

Seraphina has her own agenda when it comes to the cartel but now she has drawn the attention of Ryder and Delta Shield.    She realizes that evading them is no longer an option and her best solution would be to join forces as they take us on an action-packed adventure.

The storyline is intriguing as the surprises and intrigue continue to escalate.    Both Ryder and Seraphina are well developed characters who take us on a romantic and suspenseful journey that you won’t be able to put down.

The Homemaker by Jewel E. Ann is now live!

A romance inspired by TS “Fortnight”

I was hers, but she was never mine.

Alice Yates is the hired “homemaker” for the Morrisons, an affluent couple in Minneapolis. For Alice, it’s a dream job to dress up like a 1950s housewife and read romance novels to Mr. Morrison before his afternoon nap.

But when the Morrisons’ only daughter returns home for the summer with her fiancé, Alice comes face- to-face with her shattered past—the only threat to her perfect life.

Eight years earlier, vacation rental owner Murphy Paddon had an impeccable vinyl record collection and did the most irresistible thing before kissing Alice, earning him a five-star rating. Their fortnight love affair was life-altering and ended tragically.

Murphy doesn’t know if Alice remembers him or whether he should tell his fiancée that the hired-help living in the guesthouse is the woman who irreparably broke his heart. He needs closure, but will the lingering glances and silent yearning lead to the end or just the beginning?

💛Review💛
When Alice was hired at the homemaker for the Morrison family it seemed to be a perfect fit as she handles all the household duties, and it includes a place to stay. Her arrangement is about to be turned upside down when their daughter and her fiancé return as the fiancé is no stranger but rather the man she spent two weeks with years earlier and hasn’t seen since.

Murphy thought he had moved forward with his life and is now happily engaged and preparing for a future with his fiancé. He is now left with unresolved feelings and questions, and he knows that the best course of action would be to proceed with his engagement however his heart is torn about what could have been.,

Alice and Murphy take us on an angst filled journey that is intriguing as you wait to see what will happen as it unfolds with one heart wrenching moment after another. The characters are captivating, and their journey will draw you and keep you entertained from beginning to end.

Bianca

This entire mess started when my older brother’s best friend got hired to be my bodyguard.

Colton Keller has been keeping an eye on me ever since he came to live on our ranch. The wall of muscle wrapped in mysterious darkness has spoken less than five words to me in the same amount of years.

But now that Colton’s position is official, he follows me like a reclusive shadow. I try to ditch him at every turn, but he never lets me get too far.

Just as I’m about to get more creative with my evasive maneuvers, a threat to my safety pushes him to the extreme.

Colton

I’m obsessed with my best friend’s younger sister. There’s no other way to describe my desire for Bianca Benson.

It’s another secret saddled to me.

But then her brother assigns me to watch over the reckless rodeo princess, as if I haven’t been doing that already.

What started as an obligation to protect her has grown into a necessity.

It’s the only part of her that’s mine.

At least until my past resurfaces to haunt me.

Bianca bucks my restrictive methods as complications force my hand. She wants answers that I’m not ready to share.

I’ll only surrender once she’s ready to admit the truth.

My infatuation might’ve started it, but hers will save us.

💜Review💜

Bianca is feisty, fiery and has faced all the challenges that life has thrown at her head on and prevailed. Even though she is being threatened she doesn’t believe she needs security especially when it is provided by Colton, her brother’s best friend. She believes that his grumpy, demanding and overprotective but she soon realizes she couldn’t have been more wrong.

Colton has had feelings for Bianca for years so when she is in danger the only place he is going to be is by her side. Even if he believes they can’t be together that doesn’t diminish his feelings for her, and he will do whatever is necessary to keep her safe but when she learns his secrets and develops feelings for him as well he isn’t about to let anyone, or anything come between them.

Both Bianca and Colton are intriguing characters and seeing them open up and allow the other to see who they truly were was enchanting. The interactions between them are humorous and the balance of romance, emotion and intrigue will draw you in.
