R.C. Stephens has revealed the covers for Wildflower and Whiskey!
Releasing November 12, 2025
Phoenix Thorne was the last man I wanted to see when I came back to Val-Du-Lys with my son. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. Now I’m working in his brewery… and sleeping in the loft above his garage. He hasn’t changed. Sharp edges. Hard muscles. Walls no one could scale. And he still looks at me like I’m the wildflower that cut him all those years ago. We were enemies once. Now we’re neighbors. Every stolen glance, every brush of his hand pulls us closer to a line we swore we’d never cross. Then he kisses me. Hard. Hungry. Reckless. The kind of kiss that burns hotter than whiskey and leaves me aching for more. He vowed he’d never forgive me. I swore I’d never need him. But the past has a way of catching up. Secrets that don’t stay buried. Threats that circle too close to the people I love. And suddenly the man I betrayed is the only one standing between me and a storm I never saw coming. Because once Phoenix claims me… he’ll fight like hell to keep me.
Virginia native Mari Carr is a New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller of contemporary sexy romance and romantic suspense novels. With over two million copies of her books sold, Mari was the winner of the Romance Writers of America’s Passionate Plume award for her novella, Erotic Research. She has over a hundred published works, including her popular Wild Irish and Compass books, along with the Trinity Masters series she writes with Lila Dubois.
In the storm of life, some passions can’t be tamed.
Mila has spent her life working on Stormy Weather Farm, alongside her fiercely loyal, slightly eccentric family. The Storms believe in hard work, the importance of tradition, and—most of all—love at first touch. It’s a family legend, passed down like a vintage bottle of truth: when you touch the one meant for you, you’ll just know.
Mila always thought it was just a romantic notion… until Boone.
A rugged, brooding single father with a past that still smolders, Boone has one priority: giving his twelve-year-old daughter a stable, quiet life. Love? He’s been there, done that, burned the T-shirt. Or so he thinks…until Mila.
She’s all sunshine and cinnamon, and she makes Boone ache with cravings he thought were long dead. Every time she blushes, every time she touches him by accident, the tension coils tighter.
Soon, late-night harvests turn into stolen glances, and shared glasses of wine become heated whispers in the dark. But love is risky business, and Boone’s heart isn’t the only thing on the line—his daughter’s trust, and Mila’s future, hang in the balance.
🔥Review🔥 Mila has always done what is expected of her and she would do anything for those she loves without a second thought as long as it makes them happy. She knows what she wants even if she hasn’t had the best luck when it comes to men. When she meets Boone the feelings she has for him are unlike anything she has felt before, but he has made it clear he isn’t looking for love.
The only woman that Boone needs in his life is his daughter Sadie and that is the lesson that he learnt in the most painful way possible at the hands of her mother. He doesn’t believe that either he or Sadie are ready to let another woman into their lives, but he can’t deny that he is drawn to Mila like a moth to a flame.
Mila and Boone understand and support each other in a way that will touch your heart. The feelings between them are inspiring and the relationship they both share with Sadie only makes their relationship more special and catching up with the rest of the Storm family is always fun.
From the author of the bestselling Broken Trilogy and Dark Water Series comes Embedded—the second book in Stonewall, the heart pounding action and suspense series, where brotherhood binds them, and passion drives them even in perilous times.
Nicole Winter has many facets—a war correspondent, a protector, a mother in all but blood.
But those are just titles.
Nicole’s relentless drive for the truth was forged in war zones and honed by years of experience. Her instincts catch the shifts others overlook, and what whispers now is clear— the Cartel is gathering strength, and war is coming. Once, she would have chased the story, but for the first time, she is in a position more dangerous than she has ever faced.
A secret.
A bond.
A betrayal.
Paul is recovering from his wounds, but the scars no one can see cut deepest. He can’t forgive Nicole for putting his son in the spotlight, yet the child he never claimed is bound to her. She’s a risk he can’t afford, yet the only one who can protect his future.
Fueled by vengeance and ambition, Bruno Perez’s recklessness gives Nicole the chance to do the unthinkable and return to the viper’s pit, even if it costs her life.
As the team closes in and loyalties fracture, the green light unleashes the unimaginable. Blood is shed in the most unlikely places, and no one is beyond the line of fire.

From USA Today best selling author Scarlett Cole, writing as S. Cole, comes an electrifying second chance romance with extreme ‘hands-off-my-ex-wife’ vibes romance.
Lucy
With my law degree and a life in New York, I convinced myself I’d moved on.
But the second I saw Grudge again, all rough edges and rage, I couldn’t breathe.
He’s now a biker forged in fury, and looks at me like I’m responsible.
Maybe I am.
After all, I divorced him the day he went to prison for protecting me.
I thought I came back for my family’s sake.
But I forgot how it felt to be wanted—to be his.
And now I’m caught between the life I built…
and the man who still makes me ache.
Grudge
Nothing prepared me for her walking back into my world.
My ex-wife. My weakness.
The woman with secrets in her eyes and that mouth I still dream about.
She says she’s not mine anymore.
But I see the way she trembles when I get too close.
She can lie to herself all she wants—
I’ve waited eight years for a second chance…at love or revenge, I’m not sure.
Because the lies run deep between us, and the trouble coming for us both is about to blow everything wide open.
It’s been a decade since Lucy left both her hometown and her husband when events tore them apart and she believed the only solution was divorce. She has returned out of duty to help her father however when her path crosses with Grudge it will not only force her to face what really happened in the past but the danger in the present as well.
Grudge is now the President of the Iron Outlaws and is not the man that Lucy used to know. Seeing her again brings up all the pain of the past however he soon realizes that there is a lot they don’t know about what happened and when he finds out she is being threatened he will do whatever is necessary to keep her safe.
Lucy and Grudge have always belonged together, and I enjoyed seeing them fight for their second chance. The suspense keeps you on edge, the surprises keep coming, the camaraderie between the members of the MC is heartwarming and despite the time and distance the love between Grudge and Lucy is stronger than ever.
Scarlett Cole is a contemporary romance author that calls both Toronto, Canada and Manchester, England home. A born city dweller, she periodically quashes the urge to live in the country by hiking up a mountain to remind herself that living away from people would terrify the pants off her.
She believes everybody deserves their love story to be told and loves her heroes on the rough and rugged side…and usually tall (because she married one of those 6ft 6” men you read about in romance books!). She’s an A-type personality and Scorpio star sign, so good luck getting her to do anything she doesn’t want to.
When she isn’t writing, she’s happy to talk about hot men and expensive shoes while drinking a cold gin and tonic. Don’t bring up olives. As far as Scarlett is concerned, they are the devil’s food. As long as you don’t bring up olives, she’s happy to hear from you any time.

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?

The only problem? Luke Dawson—the town’s broody, flannel-wearing reindeer farmer who hates everything merry and bright. Unfortunately, he’s also the one providing the reindeer for the town’s biggest holiday festival, which means Eve is stuck working with Mr. Bah Humbug himself.
Luke has no patience for Christmas or the chaos that comes with it—especially when it involves Eve, the walking, talking embodiment of holiday cheer. He spent years trying to forget her, but now that she’s moved back to town—with her sharp tongue, city-girl attitude, and an unfortunate talent for getting stuck under mistletoe—forgetting her is impossible.
But between meddling townsfolk, mischievous reindeer, and a snowstorm that leaves them stranded together, Luke is starting to wonder if maybe Christmas—and Eve Winters—aren’t so bad after all.
