BLURB:

Life as a professional hockey player keeps me plenty busy, and yet it often feels like I’m on autopilot as the world passes me by. I suppose I can’t complain. I have the honor of calling myself a New England Bay Shark, so I have more than enough money to buy some form of happiness.

Sleeping around with beautiful women may come with the territory, but I’ve never taken the time to actually get to know any of them. In fact, there’s only one I’ve relentlessly thought about, but she’s off-limits. Everyone knows you can’t go after your best friend’s little sister. Especially if he’s already forbidden it.

I’ve had a crush on Saylor Sawyer since I met her years ago, and even though I’ve spent many showers and nights alone creating my own fantasies, starring her, I know I can’t

act on those … filthy thoughts.

No matter how hot they are.

When a teammate hurts her badly, Saylor’s on the warpath, looking for sweet revenge. I just happen to be the lucky bastard sitting at the other end of the bar.

One hookup gets entangled with a lie, and things get complicated fast. But the lie wasn’t mine, and I’m going to make damn sure she knows it too.

See, the night she used me to get back at her ex awakened a beast inside of me. A beast that only wants Saylor Sawyer.

A beast that won’t stop until she’s mine.

✨TEASER: BOURBON SUNSET by @walker_rose_books releasing June 3rd!

https://a.co/d/dxiIu5i

Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…

💕Small Town

🔥Bachelor Auction

💕Enemies to Lovers

🔥Cowboy

Teller Bailey is the last single son in a Montana bourbon empire. He’s also arrogant, infuriating, and unfairly handsome with his beard and flannel.

Everyone in town loves him. Everyone in town detests me.

I’m “Mad Maddy” Townsend, the only surviving daughter of Bourbon Canyon’s most reviled family. I’m also mouthy, broke, and spectacularly alone.

I’ve wanted nothing more than to get away from this small town and their opinions of me since birth, yet I’m stuck here with nothing but a trashed dive bar and a shoestring budget to get it back in business—or my mom will be evicted from her nursing home.

But there isn’t a contractor in the county who’ll return my calls, at least without including a few four-letter words in their messages. My only hope for competent help is the annual bachelor auction featuring the town’s most eligible Bailey. The prize? One project completed for the highest bidder.

I must be every bit as crazy as this town thinks to bid on Teller. The man I can’t stand will be mine until I’m ready to serve my first drink. All I have to do is not fall for his charming smile, his unyielding support, or the way his name opens all the doors slammed in my face. I’ve never been treated so well, but I know how this goes. When this job is finished, he’ll ride off into the bourbon sunset—without me, just like everyone else in my life.

Readers who love Elsie Silver, Devney Perry, Laura Pavlov, and Lyla Sage will love Bourbon Sunset.

There’s a long list of reasons why I shouldn’t crush on the sexy firefighter. 

Logan Murray is not only my brother’s teammate, he’s more than ten years older than me and seems to curse my very existence. I shouldn’t care but I do.

Oh, and did I mention I’m now the nanny to his twin daughters? I need this job and I can’t risk messing it up.

But the more time I spend with the single dad makes me think that his growly exterior might just be hiding something more.

I’ve always been taught not to play with fire. But for him, it might be worth the burn.

Kayden/Simon

“You might not be so dismissive when you discover the truth.”
“Maybe not,” she slowly agreed. “But…”
He frowned as she struggled to find the words to express the need aching deep inside her.
“But what?”
“I’ve spent twenty-two years being locked away and told it was for my own good,” she confessed. “I don’t won’t to waste another second just because it might hurt me later.”
His lips parted. He was going to continue to argue. She could feel it.
Framing his face in her hands, she tugged his head down to press her lips to his in a kiss of flagrant yearning.
Kayden went rigid and Bianca’s heart began to sink. So much for her stumbling attempt at seduction.
Then, just as she was about to pull back in embarrassment, Kayden’s arms lashed around her body and he hauled her off her feet so he could deepen the kiss with a stark urgency.
A combustion of heat blasted through her as his tongue skillfully parted her lips and dipped inside. She groaned. This was what she used to lay in her bed and fantasize about.

Kayden/Simon

Tryst paced the kitchen floor. Shit, shit, shit. She was going full rogue here. The mission was to bring the male in. Done. Period. And it would’ve been so easy. Drugged, in the car, snoring away—next stop, Wildlands.
Instead, she’d stripped him, tied him to the bed and gone over every inch of him. Each scar, the waves of muscle on his belly, the tattoos on his scalp… After an hour, she’d thought better of it, caged her curiosity, not to mention her lust, and started to untie him. But then he’d said something. In his drugged sleep. Something that had made her both delay her plans and stay out of communication with Parish and Raphael. Neither one knew she had the male in her custody. She’d meant to contact them after securing him, hadn’t wanted them to know she’d fucked up and allowed him to get away.
But those words had arrowed straight to her soul. Gutted her. Made her pine—not pity. Because if it was true…everything inside her—everything that snarled and stalked and loved the feel of the bayou sun on her belly—demanded that she help him… Fix him…

Unchained

“How did you find me?” he said. “What do you want with me?”
Circe blinked, his voice pulling her back to the moment. She’d not been sexually attracted to anyone in so long, she’d forgotten what that rush of excitement felt like. Then again, she’d not had the chance to be attracted to anyone. Zeus kept her locked up tight and had for way too long.
Focus. Sexy as hell you can use to your advantage.
She lifted a foot-long length of heavy chain. “Look familiar?”
His face paled as he looked at the chain Zeus had used to bind him to that rock. The rock where he’d been tortured daily by a giant eagle that had torn into his side and consumed his liver day after day. “Where did you get that?”
“Find me and I’ll tell you.”
His confused gaze lifted to her face. “Find you?”
“You’re a Titan. You have powers others don’t. Find me and I can help you make Zeus pay for everything he’s done.”

Twist of Fate

She rolled her eyes. “I like how you assume you’re the only one being tortured.”
“Hey, I’ve been nothing but a⁠—”
“I swear to God if you say delight…”
He shrugged.
She sighed, looking a little overheated and frustrated and ticked off, which made two of them.
Except he was also turned on. He couldn’t help it. Daisy talked with her hands, her eyes flashing. She looked sexy as hell.
“Look,” she said. “Rocco’s in love. He’s marrying the man of his dreams, so it’s not about you or me. Or us. Or the utter lack of an us⁠—”
“Funny, because it feels a whole bunch like it’s about us,” he said.
He’d meant to shut her up, of course, but what he hadn’t intended was to forget himself, the wedding, his brother, and everything but the soft little sound that escaped her throat just before she fisted her hands in his shirt.
Going to shove me away or pull me in, babe?
She kissed him back. More than that, she pressed all those sweet, sexy curves up against him. With a groan, he wrapped his arms around her, feeling every contour of her sweet bod against his. Her mouth had started out icy cold from the chill in the air, but it was hot now. They were both hot.

The Anti-Fan and the Idol

He stares down at me. “You were a bad idea from the start.”
“And you were bad from the very beginning.” I lift my chin.
He lowers his head.
I go in first.
I kiss him.
His tongue invades my mouth the minute our lips touch. I tell myself it’s the adrenaline from working out too hard or maybe just the darkness, but I know it’s him. I cling to his shirt and pull it over his head.
He doesn’t hesitate at all as he spins me around and presses me against the nearest wall.
Why do bad ideas always feel so good?
I moan when he starts trailing kisses down my neck. If we get caught, we’re completely screwed. But I’m willing to risk everything—including my dreams—for just one more taste of him, one more flick of his tongue. His chest heaves as he deepens the kiss.
The lights flicker back on.
We break apart so fast you’d think our parents just walked in and announced we had to get married.
I wipe my mouth.
He licks his lips.
I want more.

💚Review💚

Kayden/Simon by Laura Wright and Alexandra Ivy

Kayden plans to revenge the death of his parents but kidnapping the perpetrator’s daughter will not only include surprises but change his life when he realizes she is destined to be his mate.

Unchained by Elisabeth Naughton – Prometheus has managed to escape the control that Zeus had over him and thought he could move forward however vivid dreams continue to hold him captive.   Circe is also being controlled by Zeus and her latest mission will put her at odds between what she needs to do and her feelings for Prometheus.

Years later Daisy is the wedding planner, and Diego is the brother of the groom so they can no longer avoid each other. Working together on the wedding the chemistry and connection between them is stronger than ever, but is this their second chance or are they destined to end in heartbreak once again?

The Anti-Fan and The Idol by Rachel Van Dyken – Ah-Ri has been trying to fulfill her dream of becoming a K-Pop star so being approached to be part of a co-ed group would be a dream come true if it wasn’t for the other members of the group.  Ryan and Hanuel want to change the world of K-Pop by creating a co-ed group so the last thing that either Ryan or Ah-Ri needs is to be distracted by the other.

It is great to have these very different stories included in one collection.

First, I hit him with my car. Then I hit him with an offer he couldn’t refuse.

Annabelle

My father really outdid himself this time. If he wasn’t already the worst, his newest demand surely gave him that title—if I wanted to take over the family company, I needed to get married.Within the next six months.

He thought he had me right where he wanted me…that I’d marry one of his lackeys. A man who’d keep me in line with Dad’s vision for both me and Parker Industries.

Well, dear old Dad had another thing coming. I was no pushover, bowing to the whims of him or any man. I had a plan. And that plan’s name was Ryder Perry.

Ryder

Red River, Texas was worse than I thought it was going to be when I moved here with my brothers to renovate the old ranch home we inherited from a distant relative. Mosquitos, flies, and the lung-clogging humidity were making me miserable, and that misery was only compounded when a spoiled rotten princess slammed into my truck and had the audacity to blame me.

The next time I saw her, she offered me two things—an apology for her behavior and a million dollars…to marry her.I thought she was drunk. Or crazy. Or maybe a little bit of both. I wasn’t sure.

But one thing was for sure—my time in Red River just got a lot more interesting.

Exposed Ink is my sanctuary, where I can hide behind the needles and ink, shielding my shattered heart from further pain and loss.

Until Shane, a firefighter and single dad, threatens to unravel the carefully constructed walls I’ve built to survive.

First, he saves my life—literally—and then he turns it upside down by making me long for things I can’t have.

He says he wants to get some ink done, but I know he wants something more… something I can’t give him—me.

Shane:

As a firefighter medic, I’m used to fixing physical wounds, but Kinsley’s scars run deeper.

To some, her brokenness might be perceived as a weakness, but I can see the strength buried deep.

With each passing day—and mark to my skin—I find myself falling harder for the striking beauty with the sad eyes.

She’s quickly tattooed herself on my heart, and I’m determined to be the one who shows her that love can heal even the deepest wounds.

Title: High Velocity (High Mountain Trackers HMT 2G, #4)
Author: Freya Barker
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date:
Cover Designer: Freya Barker
Images: Jean Woodfin – JW Photography
Model: Brandon Thyfault
Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

When the FBI sidelines Special Agent Stephanie Kramer over health concerns, she sees her hard-won dream career go down the drain. Suddenly adrift and without purpose, she jumps at the chance when a friend offers for her to stay in their trailer by a quiet, secluded creek near Libby, Montana. As much as she tries to enjoy the tranquil settings, it’s not long before local wildlife—and the man chasing it—invade her sanctuary. When it appears the job she’s trying to leave behind is following her to Libby, the illusion of her solitary retreat is shattered.

After that last special ops assignment cost Jackson Hart his leg, he’s had a hell of a time getting back on his proverbial feet. Being hired as a member of the High Mountain Trackers team went a long way to reclaiming his sense of identity. He’s back in the saddle and adapting to a pared-down, mostly solitary existence. So the sudden jolt to his gut, when he encounters the blond federal agent he remembers well, is a harsh reminder of what is missing from his life.

Still, as much as they try to avoid the other, they seem destined to cross paths. Whether it is the intimidation of a local predator, or the threat of a former nemesis, it becomes clear they stand stronger together.

AMAZON | APPLE BOOKS | NOOK | KOBO

They say it becomes second nature at some point, but the fact is about fifteen percent of the body I was born with is missing, which isn’t that easy to adjust to. Every time I catch a glimpse of myself coming out of the shower, I’m still startled at my own reflection. This mental image I have of my former intact body persists, and I’m shocked each time to find part of it gone. Even in my dreams, I still have my right leg.

🩵Review🩵

Jackson has always been there for everyone whether it is his family, his friends or his country until an injury changes his life.   He struggled while trying to accept his new reality, but he has been able to make peace with what happened and is building a new life for himself.   When he sees Stephanie he wants to be there for her however he is also battling the fact that he is not the same man who originally met her.

Recent events have forced Stephanie to realize that her life is centered around her career as an FBI agent and now that has been put on hold.   All she wants is to be alone while she decides what comes next however Jackson isn’t about to let that happen especially when the danger escalates around her.

The suspense keeps you on edge and the surprises keep coming but it is the heartwarming romance between two people who never believed that love was in their future that will touch your heart.   This story also allows us to spend some time with the other characters that we have come to know and love from this series.

USA Today bestselling author Freya Barker loves writing about ordinary people with extraordinary stories.

With forty-plus books already published, she continues to create characters who are perhaps less than perfect, each struggling to find their own slice of happy.

Head Over Heels In Love
Mariah Ankenman
(Jackson Family Distillery, #4)
Publication date: May 8th 2025
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Catching a woman breaking into his car was not the way Ace Jackson wanted to start his day. Finding out she’s the new hire at his family’s distillery is even worse. Sure, she said she mistook his car for her’s, but there’s something about Millie he doesn’t trust. Too bad all his siblings vetoed his vote. What’s the point of being the oldest if you don’t get to be in charge?

Millie Danes told the grumpy Adonis she wasn’t breaking into his car, but did he believe her? No! The guy has a stick up his butt bigger than the pine trees gracing the Rocky Mountains. Unfortunately, he’s her new boss or she’d try and see if she could melt that icy exterior. But she has more on the line than a job, she needs funds to start her dream. Her very own aerial studio.

When a theft is discovered at work, Ace enlists Millie’s help as a spy in exchange for the money to build her dream. Their tentative truce becomes complicated when desires fan the flames of temptation. In the battle of love, who will fall first?

—

EXCERPT:

“Millie!”

Her shouted name came from beyond the swinging door. Irritation rose, winning the war over guilt as she quickened her pace. “Ugh, coming!”

She pushed through the door into the back, muttering to herself. “Get your boxers out of a bunch you grumpy asshole. It was five damn seconds.”

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Ace demanded the second the door stopped swinging.

“Well, I was working, until you pulled me back here to yell at me like an angry schoolmarm.”

Confusion drew his brow down. “What the…never mind. How is pulling some dangerous stunt and almost breaking your fool neck working? Last time I checked this was a bar, not some ridiculous stunt show.”

That was it. She knew the guy was her boss, but he was being a giant dick. No one talked to her that way.

“First of all, I wasn’t about to break anything. Before you rushed in and grabbed me—”

“Saved you.”

She arched one eyebrow in disbelief. “Is that what you thought you were doing? Saving the helpless damsel in distress? I got news for you buddy. I have been bottle-walking for years. I know how to fall from the bottles safely. Provided some jackass doesn’t grab me off them and tweak my back.”

His angry demeanor disappeared in an instant. Ace took a step forward, eyes scanning her body as his voice softened. “Are you okay? Did I hurt you?”

Shocked by the sudden switch—and his concern—she shook her head. “No. I’m fine.”

The sudden grab had surprised her and put her off kilter, but he hadn’t injured her back.

He glanced into her eyes, stealing her breath as she saw the unmasked worry filling them. Wow. Who knew Mr. Ice had feelings?

“Really, Ace,” she said gently, placing a hand on his arm. “I’m okay.”

He glanced down at her hand on his arm. The air in the room thickened. A rush of heat filled her. A bolt of electricity shot through her body, her fingers tingling against his warm skin. She quickly pulled her hand back, clenching it into a fist and placing it behind her.

What the hell was that?

Pushing the moment away, Millie cleared her throat. “I know how to fall safely off the bottles. I promise you I would have been fine.”

Ace shook his head, blinking a few times before the angry scowl returned to his face. “Why the hell were you on top of those bottles in the first place? We pay you to work, Millie. Not goof around.”

And there went all her warm fuzzy feelings for this man. Jeeze, it was like Jekyll and Hyde with him.

“I was working.” She lifted onto her toes, still not high enough to be eye to eye with the Grumpy Green Giant. Lifting a finger, she poked him in the chest. “If you take a peek out that door you will see.”

Ace glanced down at her finger, raising a brow when he looked back up at her.

Maybe poking her boss wasn’t the best idea, but he was being a jerk, and she didn’t like to be pushed around. Especially not when she was making him a ton of money.

“Look,” she huffed, flopping back onto flat feet and pushing the door open a crack. “See all those people rushing to get the new drink special? I did that. It’s called creative marketing.”

Ace leaned over her. His chest pressing against her back, the heat radiating off his body nearly suffocating her with its warm, intoxicating scent. Dammit! Why did he have to be so hot? Normally it didn’t matter how attractive a person was, if they were an ass, she wasn’t attracted to them. Her body didn’t get that memo with Ace. Didn’t matter. Wasn’t like she was going to do anything about it.

🍻Review🍻

Ace is a man who has required routine and control so from his first meeting with Millie he knew that she was trouble.   A misunderstanding doesn’t get them off to the best start however when a problem arises he knows that she is the best way to try and solve it.   The only problem with that plan is spending time with her forces him to see that there is so much more to life than the way he  has been living it.

Millie has dreams for the future and working at Ace’s family bar is just a stepping stone to get there.   She and Ace couldn’t me more different, but he has also offered her an opportunity to achieve her dream.   What was supposed to be a simple assignment turns into more when she realizes that there is so much more to Ace than first appears.

Ace and Millie were so delightful together as she knows exactly what to do or say to get a rise out of him and he gives as good as he gets.   Although they had a few challenges along the way they ultimately bring out the best in each other.

Meet Natasha Madison:

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…

Lilah

I was left for dead when I was eighteen.

Coming to Mustang Creek Ranch gave me something to live for.

My boss is grumpy and reclusive.

But I’m secretly in love with him, even though he’s made it known he’ll never settle down.

Even though he’s made it clear, he’ll never be mine-or anyone’s.

Emmett

I’ve kept my distance from Lilah for years. No matter how much I want her, she’s off-limits.

The only family I will ever have are the ones I fought beside in battle-the family I chose.

Until the phone rang and I found out I had an eight-year-old daughter.

Watching Lilah with my daughter makes me wonder what it would be like to do the thing I swore I never would: have a family and fall in love.

When I move her into my house to keep her safe from the dangers of her past, all bets are off.

Lilah refuses to let the traumatic event she endured years earlier define her. She has found a place to heal at Mustang Creek Ranch even if Emmett seems to disapprove of everything she does. She may have feelings for Emmett but doesn’t believe he will ever feel the same way until a little danger and the daughter he didn’t know about force them together.

Emmett has a difficult past which has made him determined not to fall in love or have a family. His life is turned upside down to find out he has an 8 year old daughter that he knew nothing about. Now he is trying to deal with his grieving daughter who along with Lilah show him how empty his life truly was.

Emmett, Lilah and Lucy are all great characters who draw you in. A little turmoil, some suspense and so many feels as Emmett and Lilah bring us through a rollercoaster of emotion. Gregory Salinas did a wonderful job with Emmet as you could feel the conflict he was experiencing while Savannah Peachwood brings out the strength and sass of Lilah.
