She lives life to the fullest.
He doesn’t know what hit him.

Smooth Sailing, an all-new page-turning forced proximity, opposites-attract MC romance from New York Times bestselling author Kristen Ashley is available now!

When the Chaos Motorcycle Club came to call, Harlan “Hugger” McCain wasn’t ready to be welcomed into the fold. They said he was a legacy. He felt like an outcast.

But he patched in anyway.

And he was all in to be a part of their not-quite-outlaw missions.

This takes him down to Phoenix, right into the orbit of Diana Armitage, a beautiful, green-eyed woman with a heart of gold and a scarily honed tendency to sacrifice for pretty much everyone she cares about, and some people she barely knows.

Hugger has been existing. Life has never given him much, now, he expects even less.

Diana lives life to its fullest. And she doesn’t keep it a secret she wants to drag Hugger right along with her.

But Hugger is certain he’s got bad blood. He’s got one foot in Chaos, one foot out. One foot in Diana’s life, one foot out.

Diana and his brothers in Chaos have their work cut out to show Hugger who he is.

That he belongs.

And he’s worthy to be loved.

🏍Review🏍

Hugger is a man who only lets people so close and believes that is all he can have. When he and his club step in to help Diana to thwart a threat that they share his life will never be the same. She brings optimism and enthusiasm to everything she does, and she shows him what has been missing in his life.

Diana is fierce, feisty and is always wiling to help with no thought to the consequences it could have to her. When she meets Hugger, she is drawn to the closed off man, but she also sees beyond his gruff exterior to the caring but damaged man underneath.

Hugger and Diana take us on an emotional journey that has moments of suspense, humor but especially love. Seeing him finally open up to not only Diana but the rest of the MC will have a huge impact on why you will enjoy this story so much.

Hustler

I’ve lived a colorful life

Joining the brotherhood I’ve always craved

Then I met Audrina

I watched her from a distance, biding my time

Until I couldn’t take it anymore

I never thought she’d look twice at me

But once she let down her walls

I couldn’t get enough

But everyone has skeletons in their closets

Only mine holds ghosts from a past I’d left behind

Nothing could prepare me for the storm to come

Or that my ol’ lady could be lost forever

Audrina

They call him the silver fox

Hustler

But I know him as West

He’s a man of honor
The protector

I guarded my heart for a long time

Never thinking I’d fall again

But he lights a fire inside me

When my walls came tumbling down

I never understood what it was truly like

To really love a man like him

Until everything I ever wanted

Was about to be swept away

Nana Malone has revealed the narrators for Royal Heart

Narrated by: Sebastian York & Leila Allarie

Releasing: February 25, 2025

Damon Hunt, the world’s most ruthless thief, wants my skills for a dangerous job. Worse, he wants me…as his wife.

When Damon Hunt—the thief my father trained instead of me, his protégé, the same one responsible for his death—strolled back into my life after years, I shot first and asked questions later.

Then he had the nerve to ask for my help to recover the stolen Royal Heart, a Winston Isles Crown Jewel, from the underground Black Rose Auction.

Despite how I used to feel about him, I see him for who he really is. And I’m not getting sucked back into the world that cost me everything. Not to mention, I’m not a damn thief.

I’ve built my career at a recovery firm, avoiding the field. I might be the best safecracker around, but I won’t go back to my private hell.

Until Damon dangles the one thing I can’t resist, the man who shot my father.

The catch? We have to pose as husband and wife to infiltrate the auction and steal back the Royal Heart for the Winston Isles.

Navigating the underground deals brings back old wounds and undeniable attraction. Damon is like a beast from my past—dangerous, captivating, and hiding secrets behind his fierce exterior. I have to decide if I’m falling for the monster who broke my heart—or the man determined to win it back.

Blurb:

Once in a while, after life gets you down, the universe throws you a bone. And if you’re really lucky, it comes in the form of a tattooed baby-wearing firefighter with piercing blue eyes and a heart of gold.

When Noah Hebert swung his axe and rescued me from a coffee shop bathroom, I had only a vague sense of who the tattooed lumberjack was. Turns out he’s more than broad shoulders and a thick beard. He’s a devoted single dad and my new neighbor.

Soon after, we find ourselves falling into an easy friendship. I help him with his fussy baby, and he helps me survive my ex-husband and little sister’s wedding. Despite my vow never to risk my heart again, my defenses quickly crumble. The sight of him rocking his sweet baby in those muscular, inked arms only makes matters worse. And when he defends me to my toxic family, the sparks of attraction between us catch fire.

I moved back here with a mission. Grow the food pantry and make our little town a better place. I can’t get mixed up with the grieving single dad, even if he likes to braid my hair and slow dance in the kitchen.

He moved across the country to escape the flames of his past and protect the little girl he now calls his own. But our town is sitting on a bed of secrets ready to ignite.

And when the heat causes my world to go up in smoke, I’m not sure it’s possible to sift through the rubble and find our happily ever after.

Author’s Note: Axe Backwards is a standalone small-town romance featuring a bleeding-heart heroine, a lumberjack firefighter, and a cute baby. If you enjoy single dads, fake dating, small-town shenanigans, lumberjack competitions, and baby sign language, you will not be disappointed. Come for the wood chopping, stay for the moose!

🪓Review🪓
When circumstances unfold that have Noah become a single father to Tess he knows that he needs help so he returns to his hometown to be near his family. Rescuing Victoria was an experience that neither will forget but finding out she is his neighbor was a surprise he didn’t see coming especially when she offers to help him with his daughter.

Victoria will do anything for anyone which allows people, especially her family, to take advantage of her. When she hears what her neighbor is going through, she doesn’t hesitate to help and he returns the favor by agreeing to pretend they are in a relationship to make her appearance at her sister’s wedding to her ex more tolerable. When they find themselves having to extend the relationship that isn’t they realize what is fact and what is fiction.

Noah and Victoria are perfect for each other in every way as they realize what love and partnership really mean as they take us on a journey filled with humor, romance and so many feels.

🖤Billionaire

🖤Fake Relationship

🖤Forbidden Romance

🖤Opposites Attract

🖤Standalone Romance

🖤All the Spice

Our agreement was strictly professional…until it wasn’t.

As an escort to the ultra-rich, I knew my place in the world. I’d mastered the art of blending in and keeping my true self—and my desires—hidden. When billionaire Eric Maxim hired me to be his date to an exclusive art show, I expected another impersonal arrangement. But Eric, with his piercing blue eyes and arrogant charm, was anything but ordinary.

Eric didn’t want complications. All he needed was a polished date for various events—not someone like me—a much younger woman who challenged him, exasperated him, and worst of all, made him feel.

Just as we were on the brink of something real, shadows from my past threatened to tear us apart. Would Eric and I find a way to overcome our fears and fight for the connection we never saw coming, or would doubt and betrayal destroy our chance at happiness?

Forbidden Desires is a steamy, age gap, billionaire romance about love, redemption, and finding the courage to truly be seen. One-click today to follow Jasmine and Eric’s story of love, betrayal and ultimately…happiness—HEA guaranteed!

Blurb:

These former friends might be faking their engagement, but revealed crushes prove there might not be anything fictional about their arrangement.

In college, I often saw Judd Sylver in the library. He was a cool, broody type of guy who reminded me of a deeply tortured soul who might write poetry.

He was very different from the boy I met in third grade on National Make a New Friend Day when I passed him a note, asking if he wanted to be my new friend: Check yes or no.

(I’m a bit obsessed with calendar days.)

He was also vastly different from the young man who stood me up after I asked him to his prom.

Twenty years later, I can let bygones be bygones, especially when he rescues me from a bad date.

Then I witness him breaking up with his girlfriend which resulted in a sticky coffee drink on his chiseled cheeks and ice cubes on his fine-fitting jeans.

I offered him a napkin.

Hey, once a friend, always a friend, right? *insert sarcasm*

However, Judd takes us to the next level at my mother’s garden party, where a misunderstanding occurs with a teeny tiny slip of the tongue and a precious ring on my finger.

And suddenly, I’m Judd’s fiancée.

Fake or not, things are about to get a little too real with my old friend.

💜Review💜
Genie is very different from her mom and has become accustomed to being belittled by her mother when it comes to her personal life and the business she has created. The last person she expected to come to her rescue is Judd, her childhood best friend who was also her first love until he walked out of her life with no explanation.

The passing of his mother and the aftereffect it had on his family changed Judd’s life. He has loved Genie since he was a teenager, but circumstances made him feel they could not be together. Now that they are pretending to be engaged, he is going to do everything he can to convince her to make it real.

Genie and Judd are kindred souls as they both lost a parent as a child and their relationship with the surviving parent was years of turmoil. You can’t help but feel for both of them as they try to navigate the depth of their feelings for each other and give each other exactly what they need. The choice of the narrators were a great match as you could feel the insecurities of both characters as well as the love they have always had for each other.
