A devastated planet. A mindless, voracious killer. Survival is not enough.
Zuri thought she knew pain…
But seeing a soldier burn her own squad to end the agony of being eaten alive…things changed.
“Me and mine. We survive.” Alien or human, don’t get in Zuri’s way.
After leaving the dangers of Haven behind, Delta make planetfall on Bathsen, desperate for resources to keep their ship flying. On arrival, they are thrown immediately into an interspecies war, where the only winner will be the last one standing.
As politicians struggle against their own prejudices in the face of complete annihilation, the squad take up arms to stand side by side with the human population as their land, cities and families are devoured by the relentless alien horde.
With the team learning more about themselves and how far they are willing to go to help others, Yasuko, the ship’s AI, finds her own purpose as she emerges from the Haven shackles on her capabilities to work alongside her human crew.
Their determination to help brings together a disparate people, building hope in the wreckage of past mistakes. But the squad still face devastating life and death decisions, ones that will change some of them forever.
And as thousands die, Zuri rises to the challenge among the city ruins, where the alien swarm descends to feed on the living and the dead.

✨Review✨ Cortney is a professional baseball player who thrives on routine and tradition when it comes to preparing for his games. When the pair of socks he needs go missing he finds himself at the house that Dylan shares with her three friends and their seven children where mayhem is just part of the experience. The sparks fly between he and Dylan so when their steamy encounter leads to a pregnancy, he doesn’t hesitate to move in to be there for her.
Each woman in the house has their area of expertise and since Dylan is self employed and a single mom to her son she stays home to look after the children. Occasionally, she needs some adult time and Cortney gives her that and so much more. Finding out she was pregnant was a surprise, but it wasn’t unwelcomed especially when Cortney proves to be the man that she and her son need.
Dylan is perfect for Cortney as she grounds him when he is feeling stressed, and he is there to offer any support that he can give her and her son and they work not only as a family but as part of the bigger team that live together.

A single dad sheriff doing his best to protect his town. A gorgeous stranger caught trespassing. A love never expected…
So, it turns out the town sheriff is a total cinnamon roll. A big, burly, grumpy, hot as sin, cinnamon roll. He found me hiding out on private property. Trespassing. I lied and told him I was only there because I was out of cash and had to sleep in my car.
I thought he’d give me a ticket and send me on my way.
Instead, he insisted that I stay at his guest house—right next door to him and his three kids.
I know better than to let them get close. I’ve been betrayed too many times to put my trust in anyone.
Too bad the air crackles every time he comes near, and I feel like I’m going to burn up every time I look at him.
All it takes is one reckless night to completely spiral into the bliss of the man and his big, capable hands. One dinner with his little family to completely fall.
Only I never told him why I really came to Time River. Now I have to choose to trust him with my secret before it’s too late for both of us…

Tropes: Small Town/Billionaire/Brother’s Best Friend
Release Date: January 25, 2024
BLURB
People in this small town are whispering…
What they’re saying is that the billionaire is back and he’s going after his best friend’s sister.
What I’m trying to do is help Claire Sweeney’s bakery business.
What I haven’t been able to admit to myself is that in all this time, no matter how hard I tried, I never forgot her.
Now she’s all grown up. I can’t stop thinking about her muffin. Or how guilty I feel when I fantasize about buttering it.
Claire has always been as much a part of Beacon Harbor as the hanging flower baskets, the boat tours, and the lobster races. She has no idea how beautiful I think she is. Even when she has flour on her face. Even when she’s rolling her eyes at me.
I’ve got her brother’s approval, but now it’s Claire that I really have to convince.
She doesn’t believe we have the right ingredients for a real relationship—so she only agrees to pretend to be my girlfriend to help me close a deal in New York.
I believe she’s about to discover exactly how I roll when I know what I want.
Claire has had feelings for her brother’s best friend Grady since she was a teenager but when she tried to express how she felt he left town. In the intervening years since she has been focused on family and her bakery but now that he is back in town she is torn between wondering what if and protecting her heart.
Grady had always believed that he would have to leave his hometown if he was going to achieve the goals he has for him and his family. When his family needs him, he returns and now his primary concern is winning back the woman who always held a piece of his heart.
Fun and flirty I enjoyed seeing Claire and Grady find their way to each other. He is determined to charm her and be there for any way that he can as they take us on an enchanting journey filled with humor, heat and all the feels.

He has been both a stage and television actor, and before plunging into the romance genre, he had been narrating commercials, audiobooks, and explainers for well over a decade from his home studio.

He is excited to now create those stories as an author.
What if the itsy bitsy spider could only weave a web of lies?
Lacey Arachne has been cursed since she was a child to only speak lies and wants nothing more than to keep it unknown. As a common handmaiden, she’s learned how to navigate her twisted words fairly well. But that all changes when her mistress makes her switch places with her in the prince’s bride competition.
Unable to refuse her mistress’s plans, Lacey is forced to play the role of a noble and compete in a competition she has no interest in winning. Well, at least that’s the lie she tells herself after she meets the charming Prince Carlex…
With the punishment for impersonating a noble being death, Lacey must blend in with the other competitors at all costs. But how does a bold-faced liar avoid standing out amongst scrutinizing eyes? Especially when her childhood enemy certainly doesn’t seem keen on letting her go unnoticed… Can Lacey untangle herself from the webs she’s crafted? Or will she be doomed to fall with the coming storm?
The Summer You Found Me by Elizabeth O’Roark is now live!
KATE I tore out of rehab to win my husband back. It’ll work, too. He just needs to see that I’m clean, that I’m on my feet again.
Until that happens, though, I’ve only got one guy in my corner—Beck, my husband’s best friend, who takes me in against his will and keeps me sane.
Living with Beck is easier than I expected. And fun. Except I’ve got a long history of wanting things I’m not supposed to want.
And Beck may be the most dangerous of them all.
BECK Kate had nowhere else to go—helping her out is the right thing to do. Though if she thinks the fact that she’s still married to my best friend means she’s safe walking around my house in nothing but a t-shirt…well, I’m somewhat less sure.
Because maybe Caleb could overlook her. Maybe Caleb could fail to notice her.
But from the moment we met, Kate’s been the only thing I could see. And no matter what she’s telling herself, she wants me just as badly as I want her.

Elizabeth O’Roark spent many years as a medical writer before publishing her first novel in 2013. She holds bachelor’s degrees in journalism and arts from the University of Texas, and a master’s degree in counseling psychology from the University of Notre Dame. She is the recipient of the 2017 IBPA gold medal for romance. She lives in Washington DC with her three children.
Kate had a difficult upbringing which shaped her into the woman she became which left her unable to handle the devastating loss that she and her husband endured. Instead of finding solace in each other she started a downward spiral, and she has now returned a year later looking to resume the life she left only to find out that nothing is the same.
Beck doesn’t remember a time that he hasn’t loved Kate, but she has always been with Caleb, his best friend. She may have returned but Caleb has moved forward so Beck offers to not only give her a place to stay but a job as well but helping her overcome the past is the biggest challenge of all.
Kate is a complex character who at times you will not like but at times your heart will feel for her. With the help of Beck I enjoyed seeing her become the best version of herself and he was the man to show her that she is worthy and that there is so much more to her than her past actions.
An entire campus knows my name. Women throw themselves at me, hoping I’ll take them home that night. Whispers from the NHL say I’m the one to watch. And the weight of each game is on my shoulders because if our opposing team scores … that’s on me. All the things that keep me up at night are probably someone else’s dreams.
From the moment I saw Ryann Denver in my Business 101 class, I was intrigued and determined to get to know her. But unlike most girls at Brooks, she hates athletes. And when I introduce myself to her, she makes it perfectly clear that she’s not interested. So, I walk away forever with my tail tucked firmly between my legs.
But as fate would have it, we’re paired up together in a charity dance event. And now, whether she likes it or not, she has to spend time with me. A lot of time. I guess I’m in luck because it turns out she can use me in her corner right now. And when she finds herself in trouble and I’m the only one she can run to, she figures out maybe I’m not that bad after all.
Ryann is going to see I’m not like the players she’s dated in the past.
Being a single parent to a teenage daughter will be a walk in the park… said no dad ever! I’m a fireman and at the station four days a week. I barely have time to grab a beer with my friends. On my days off I’m too busy being the protective dad while trying not to be Jordan’s worst enemy. However, it’s the ultimatum she needs to worry about for skipping class, suspension or help at Hope Haven, a place where families stay while their hospitalized child receives the best care.
It’s where I run into Brooke Tennyson. I had no idea she was back in town and is working at Hope Haven. Sure, Brooke is beautiful, a single parent, and we have so much in common, but I don’t have time to get involved with another woman. It’s bad enough I can’t get her off my mind, can’t stop fantasizing about her. Brooke makes me feel alive again. But I feel like I’m cheating on my late wife and my daughter will be disappointed with me.
If giving up on love is what I need to do to keep my daughter happy, it’s what I must do.

I never keep secrets from my best friend, but I’m not sure how to tell her I’m sneaking around with her brother…who’s also my ex-husband.
I might be single, but I’m not ready to mingle. I should’ve stayed home from the street dance. My feet are barely surviving the two-step and my dance partners are looking for dates while I’m only interested in forgetting the man I was once married to.
The night’s about to end with bruised toes and a rain storm when the guy who swept me off my feet years ago cuts in right before the downpour starts. Wilder Knight has always been the best dance partner I’ve ever had. Just not the best husband.
Once the storm hits, we take refuge in his pickup, but that isn’t all we do. After steaming up the windows and losing my underwear, I make a habit out of hooking up with my ex-husband.
Only the longer we continue, the easier it is to see why our marriage fell apart. I couldn’t get over him the first time and losing him a second time might destroy the secure life I’ve built for myself, leaving me to ask… Were we better left an unfinished memory?
And even though I promised to let her go, I realize that I can’t. She’s mine now, and I’m keeping her.
To say I had a rough start in life would be the understatement of the century.
My uncle may have rescued me from my abusive childhood, but he couldn’t save me from the neurotic and compulsive obsessions I would develop in my adulthood.
I deal with some of the worst criminals in the seedy underbelly of the world just to get what I want. What I need.
And what I need is the perfect woman. Perfect and pure in every way possible. And I’m willing to obtain that perfection…no matter the cost.
So when I make my newest purchase, I expect Adeline’s fate to be like all the others before her—taking what I want and then never seeing her again.
But she’s different.
Her beauty is disarming.
And even though I promised to let her go after I took what I wanted…I slowly come to the realization that I can’t.
I have to break my promise to her, because she’s mine now.
