In the delightfully nosy town of Whynot, North Carolina, secrets and sweet tea never stay cold for long. When sparks fly between two localsโone returning home and one with secrets to hideโthe gossip mill isnโt the only thing turning up the heat.
Penny Pritchard thought sheโd traded in small-town chatter for political banter when she left to build a big career in Washington, D.C. But when her beloved Aunt Muriel needs help running Central Cafรฉโthe local hotspot for gossip, grits, and good intentionsโPenny comes home with a suitcase full of high heels and denial about just how much sheโs missed this place.
Enter Sam-Pete Rochelle, the easygoing bartender at Chestyโs with a smile that could make a girl forget her rules and a secret bigger than the town itself. Everyone thinks heโs just the guy pouring whiskey and fixing the jukebox. No one suspects heโs actually a wildly popular, very rich, and very anonymous author of steamy fantasy romance novels.
When the truth is revealed and itโs time for Sam to stop hiding behind his pen name, Whynot loses its collective mind. The church ladies are clutching their pearls, Floydโs hosting a โBanned Books & Bourbonโ club, and the mayorโs calling an emergency meeting about moral decay. And Penny? Penny is learning firsthand that Sam doesnโt just talk the talk where his books are concerned. Sam excels at walking the walk, if you know what I mean.
Now, Penny is torn between her two worlds. Does she go back to the career that provides a sense of fulfillment and purpose or stay in the small town with the man who writes about epic love stories and might just be her own real-life happily ever after?

I know better than to dream of a future with a man like him. And yet, when danger starts creeping closer, heโs the one stepping in, refusing to let me face it alone. He has a choice to leave Hollywood behind or risk it all for the chance that Iโm his forever.

๐ฅตmutual yearning & pining
I returned to Huckleberry Springs to start over with my name on a bakery and my past sealed up tighter than a mason jar. I plan to run my business, keep my history to myself, and ignore handsome flirts like local distillery owner and rancher, Cruz Foster.
Cruz might make me forget how to frost a cookie, but Iโve been taken in by guys like him before. When he turns up the charm, I punch his efforts down like a first proof of sourdough.
He backs off but continues being sweet. My car dies, and heโs there. I need a ride, and heโs there. I want to tell him that I miss the whiskey flirt with the lopsided smile, and heโs there with a sizzling kiss.
The real Cruz is even better than the one he shows everyone else. I fall harder for the guy who loves his family, works hard, and shares his troubled childhood with me. A man who fixes himself is my weakness
But secrets like mine donโt stay buried in small towns. If I donโt want Cruz sinking to the bottom with me faster than blueberries in cake batter, I need to break my heart and go back to minding my own business.
Iโd almost forgotten what it felt like to smile, to laugh, and to really live. Until I met him.
Heart-stoppingly handsome.
Totally forbidden.
Keats Matthews looked at me like I was something special.
He was escaping his past. I wanted to escape my present. Together, we fell hard and fast and knew we had found forever. Or so we thought โฆ
Six years later, his shoulders are broader than I remembered, his charming smile thaws my frozen heart, and itโs so tempting to run my fingers through his hair like I did years ago. But itโs the tenderness and warmth in his brown eyes that remind me of the forever we almost shared.
Itโs magic when weโre together again. Our chemistry has only magnified. Seeing him, confident and more irresistible than ever, has me falling for him all over again and hoping for a second chance.
But he still believes our timing was off before. Heโs wrong. It was the secret I kept hidden that was our undoing. Time hasnโt healed old wounds, and not everything hidden has come to light. When it does, weโll stand together or fall apart. Either way, we must find out.
The portal seals have begun to fracture, poisoning the magic of their world, and endangering those dependent upon it. Time is running out for Sabine and her companions to find the last artifact.
A cryptic clue found in the underworld is their only lead. But the magical race entrusted with the relicโs safekeeping was annihilated by the dragons centuries earlier.
Determined to find any trace of the mysterious artifact, Sabine agrees to face down the dragons in their own den.
Can love withstand dragonfire?
Sabine may have fallen for the charismatic dragon who captured her heart, but his people are harboring a deadly secret.
The dragons have no intention of allowing Sabine and her magic to escape their grasp.

The girl behind the bar with a guarded smile has something in her eyes that pulls me in. The one who insists she doesnโt need protectingโeven after I watch them threaten her right in front of me.
Brinley isnโt just a risk. Sheโs a secret that certain people donโt want getting out.
I knew she was my head coachโs daughter. What I didnโt understand was why no one else did.
Iโve spent my whole life building a name on the ice. Now Iโm being warned to stay away from her or risk losing everything Iโve worked for.
And the pressure doesnโt just come from the bench. The threats arenโt subtle anymoreโstopping at nothing until she leaves town. They expect me to fall in line, focus on blocking shots, keep my mouth shut, and choose my career over her.
But theyโre wrong.
Because this time, Iโm not just protecting the net.
Iโm protecting her. And the truth theyโll do anything to keep silent.
The blistering sun brought waves of tourists to the peaceful town of Golden Coast, its sandy beaches beckoning with promises of a perfect summer. Beneath its idyllic allure and carefree crowds lurked two twisted killers, their murderous desires simmering just beneath the surface. While one left her signature kiss of death on her victims, the other stalked silently in the shadows by the sea. As fate would have it, their paths would soon collide, igniting a fiery and deadly dance that would consume the innocent town in a lustful haze of bloodshed and terror.
