✨EXCERPT: GOOD HANDS by @authormaggiegates releasing June 2nd!

Amelia was being far too amicable for someone who had just been abducted.

I had kidnapped plenty of people and even kept a pair of earplugs on hand should such an occasion arise.

The constant screaming and “please don’t kill me!” was always rather taxing.

But there she was—sitting in the front seat, ankles crossed, pretty as a picture.

She was up to something. I just didn’t know what.

The truck rumbled as I navigated the mess of highways that would get us out of New Jersey. Not that crossing the state line would protect us from John Valentine, but the first rule of self-defense is to make space. The more space, the better.

I glanced at Amelia out of the corner of my eye. She was just . . . sitting there. She wasn’t looking out her window. She was staring straight ahead, as if she was the one driving.

Why isn’t she freaking out?

Why isn’t she asking questions, like where I’m taking her or what’s happening to her brother or how long we’ll be gone?

Does she know more than she’s letting on?

I squeezed the steering wheel as I tried to figure out what was going on in that brilliant head of hers.

I had read all the articles, news pieces, and interviews. I knew everything there was to know about the genius in my passenger seat and her eidetic memory. Usually, knowing more about the subject than they knew about me gave me the upper hand.

But with Amelia Hawthorne, I wasn’t so sure.

Her silence was unsettling, and I was never unsettled.

Did she think I hadn’t done a good job? I’d seen some sloppy kidnappings over the years. Nausea aside, Amelia had gotten a premium abduction experience.

“Fine. I’ll admit that he has pleasant features.”
They both burst out laughing at that.
“Okay, more than pleasant. Have you seen him?”
Delaney shook her head, waiting on tenterhooks for something more descriptive than “pleasant”.
“He’s…taller.”
“Taller,” she repeated. “That’s all you’ve got for me?”
I stuttered over my thoughts in frustration. I didn’t want to think about him or hot he was. It would only ruin my plan to stay as far away from him as possible. But she wasn’t having it.
“Fine, he’s…muscular. Like, really, really muscular.”
“Declan muscular?”
“Not that much. But it’s one of those things that you can see through his shirt.”
Delaney sighed dreamily. “I love it when you can see their shirts stretched across their biceps.”
“Not to brag, but I have one of those,” Josie grinned.
Delaney smacked her arm. “Hey, some of us can only dream for now.” Then she turned back to me. “Go on.”
“Um…well, he still has warm, chocolate eyes. And his hair is shorter than it used to be.”
“Can you still run your fingers through it?”
As soon as I thought about it, shivers raced down my spine. That was not good. “Yes.”
“Oh my God,” Josie whispered. “Did you hear that hitch in her voice?”
“I definitely did. Tell us more.”
“There was no hitch.”
“There was definitely a hitch. Which means it’s really good. Now spill!”

Rule #1 on the Everly Fletcher Matchmaking Manifesto…Never fall for your best friend’s grumpy brother.

Everly is the matchmaking mastermind of her family, but her own love life is a bit of a flop.

Back from four years in Dublin, she’s ready for a quiet summer on Fletcher Mountain helping launch her aunt’s animal rescue center—until Conri “Wolf” Reilly shows up.

Wolf is her college roommate’s infuriating twin brother. He’s brooding, Irish, and rugby’s resident bad boy with thighs that could crack a watermelon.

His red card reputation has trashed his career prospects…until a training camp in Denver comes calling. As a favor, Everly reluctantly gets Wolf a place to stay if he volunteers at the rescue center.

Now Everly finds herself working and living next door to the Irish tattooed grump who treats her like a nuisance—but looks at her like he could press her up against a hay bale until they forget their own names.

Wolf swore he came to America to fix his image, not fall for his sister’s best friend, but the more time he spends with Everly, the harder it is to keep his distance.

Perhaps Everly’s in her bad boy era…or maybe Fletcher Mountain has its own matchmaking plans.MINI BLURB

⛰️Review⛰️

Now that she has helped her father and uncles find their loves Everly has relocated to Dublin to attend school and is helping other students do the same.    The only problem is that as much as she wants to find her love that isn’t happening and she is beginning to believe it is her.   When she finishes school she heads back home to be with her family however she also ends up taking Wolf, her brother’s best friend with her.

Wolf is a talented rugby player however one decision on the field has put his career in jeopardy.    The best way to stay in the game is to try and earn a spot on the only team that is willing to give him a chance which is in Colorado.   He finds himself staying with Everly’s family and he soon realizes that being close to Everly and not being with her may be the biggest challenge he has faced.

I really enjoyed getting to know the man behind Wolf’s grouchy personality and what made him this way while also seeing Everly’s insecurities and the unfolding relationship between them was endearing as they finally give up fighting the feelings between them.   Connor Crais was the perfect choice for Wolf as he plays the gruff and gentle giant to perfection while Erin Mallon brings out the sass of Everly.

Blurb:

Grant

I built my global security empire from nothing. Control and discipline are the only rules I live by. Some might call me ‘intense’. I prefer ‘meticulously prepared for every disaster imaginable.’

Growing up in a group home with my two brothers taught me the only lesson that mattered: never let anyone close enough to hurt you. As a CEO, I don’t improvise. I plan. I command.

When I’m hired to provide security for an engagement party, I expect an easy job.

Instead, I meet a woman who treats my rules like optional suggestions. I’m used to being obeyed. Ruby clearly doesn’t plan on doing that. Not even a little.

She tempts me like no one else ever has. Whenever we’re together, my thoughts drift in dangerous directions. Wanting her becomes an obsession. I want to give her everything. But surrendering control means breaking my own rules. And I’ve never done that before.

Ruby

I love my restaurant, my life, and finding the bright side of just about everything. Hosting my best friend’s engagement party? Easy. Fun. Right up my alley.

What I’m not prepared for is Grant Clifford—and his many, many rules.

He’s a fine specimen of a man. Unfortunately, he also comes with a massive stick lodged firmly up his gorgeous behind. Under that perfectly tailored suit is a man who desperately needs to loosen up. Preferably with me.

The closer I get, the more clearly I see the scars beneath his rigid exterior. And I want to heal them all. But how do I reach a man who refuses to let anyone in?

The Muse by Jewel E. Ann is now live!

Flynn Morley has spent his life getting by with as little as possible. No girlfriend. No real home. No money to speak of. Raised in the system, he learned early not to trust people who seemed to have everything. So when he takes a job as a “muse” for a wealthy Minneapolis couple, it feels like crossing a line he never thought he would.

Then he meets June.

June is a bike tour guide with a quick smile, a calm confidence, and a way of making Flynn feel seen without being judged. Their connection is immediate and playful, built on shared humor, quiet moments, and a mutual longing for a simple life.

As Flynn adjusts to his bizarre new job, he starts encountering something he never planned for: kindness without strings attached. It challenges everything he believes about money, power, and who gets to be comfortable in the world. And falling for June only complicates things, especially when it turns out she’s carrying secrets of her own.

When June’s past surfaces, Flynn has to decide what scares him more: becoming someone he’s always sworn he’d never be or letting her see his darkest secrets. If he can’t let go of his fears, he might lose the one person who finally feels like home.

🩵Review🩵
Flynn had a difficult childhood which resulted in him not always making the right choices even as an adult. What might have been viewed as a bad choice has him working for Rupert and Callie as a muse and it might just be the best decision in his life as not only does it bring them into his life but June as well.

June has a difficult past of her own that she has tried to move on from. They are drawn to each other in a way that neither expected and as the romance between them grows there is also the black cloud of the secrets they hold that could strain the relationship they are trying to build.

All the characters in this story have their own healing to do with the help of each other as Flynn and June take us on a journey that has entertaining interactions, characters that are well developed and is emotionally charged as despite all the differences between them they are kindred souls.

She’s everything he can’t stand.
He’s everything she can’t ignore.
Cotton Mercer likes his life simple—his ranch, his routine, and zero complications.
Sela is the opposite of simple.
She’s sharp, stubborn, and used to getting her way—and from the moment she steps into Sagebrush, she gets under his skin in all the wrong ways.
And all the right ones.
The tension between them is instant. The arguments are constant. And staying away from each other?
Not happening.
Sela knows better than to want a man like Cotton—too rough, too stubborn, too rooted in a life she was never meant to be part of.
But Cotton Mercer doesn’t play games.
And once he gives in to temptation…
he doesn’t let go.

❤️Review❤️

Cotton thought he was happy with his life as he enjoys working on the ranch and helping out at his mom’s shop when required.   Selah is a whirlwind he never saw coming as even thought she may infuriate him there is no denying she makes him feel.

Selah has come to town for her friend’s wedding and is feeling out of element.   From her first interaction with Cotton she enjoys getting a reaction from him and as they spend time together she can’t imagine a future that doesn’t include him and the town.

The banter between Cotton and Selah was humorous and they proved that when it comes to love even their different lifestyles couldn’t keep them apart.

Life can change at the drop of a hat. I should know.

On the way home after crossing state lines, my club and I stopped at a diner just outside of Vegas. While standing outside, taking in the sunset over the desert landscape, the wind blows a baseball hat in my direction, and I catch it.

Only to have the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life run straight to me.

There’s something about her that my soul instantly recognizes as mine. But it’s the fear in her eyes that has my over-protective instincts rise. It’s obvious she’s on the run. From what, I’m not sure, and I don’t care. Jessie is mine. And by the way she’s looking at me, she knows it too. I’ll do anything in my power to prove I’m nothing like what she ran away from.

I make her an offer she can’t refuse. A place to stay and a job to help her get back on her feet. I’ll be her shelter in a storm and keep her safe. Forever.

Dear Reader,

Sheltered by Stone is a steamy instalove with a rough around the edge’s biker daddy with a soft side for his woman. But don’t get it twisted, Stone would burn the world down and not blink and eyes to put someone down if it meant keeping his woman safe and sound.

When Stone decides to stop at a diner with his MC members he never expected it to change his life.   When fate brings Jessie into his life he knows that she is in a difficult situation and all he wants to do if protect her and claim her as his own.

This is an age gap romance that features a protective hero and the woman he would do anything for.

Raven Marked (Beyond Seven Hungers: Book 1) by Morgan Quaid & Josh Gersch
Narrated by Phillipa Miller

Published & Produced by Fireside Audio

Audible US 🎧 https://adbl.co/4tS0B7V

Audible UK 🎧 https://adbl.co/3PuCRbT

Featured on @the_flock_on_tour

Blurb:

Raven’s never been one for fairy tales, especially not the ones where a mischievous sprite explodes in pink goo, an imp smells of old boots and bong resin, or she ends up with a demon god’s tattoos. But in the gritty, magic-soaked twin cities of Dusk and Dawn, fairy tales are very real – and Raven’s just been unwillingly cast as the reluctant harbinger of the apocalypse.

As a ‘gifted thief’ (and a street rat, thank you very much), Raven’s used to sticky situations. But a botched heist at the Malachi family manor lands her squarely in a supernatural turf war. With ancient Infernal gods vying for control, a newly awakened Fae royalty planting enchanted trees all over Dusk, and a secret government agency (headed by a detective Raven totally isn’t sleeping with) watching her every move, Raven’s got a lot on her plate.

Good thing she’s got Mia, her sprite-summoning apprentice (whose creatures are as unpredictable as her loyalty), and Caleb, her crime boss father-figure (who always seems to be torturing someone). Together, they’ll navigate a world of mind-flaying Fae, sword-wielding zealots in white tracksuits, and deadly magical artifacts like Rowan’s Ravenous Maw.

Can Raven survive long enough to figure out who’s pulling the strings, stop the world from ending (again), and maybe, just maybe, get these infernal tattoos to stop itching? Or will she discover that being “Ruin Marked” means more than just a really bad day?

Lila Brooks chases tornadoes, not relationships. The road is her home, storms are her comfort zone, and commitment is not on the forecast.

Jonah Reed can model a supercell but has never chased one until academic politics force him to spend two weeks on the road with Lila during peak tornado season. He brings spreadsheets and theories. She brings instincts, experience, and gas-station nachos.

What starts as mutual irritation turns into high-wind chemistry neither of them planned. When the storms end, Jonah must choose between the safe life he’s built and the woman who’s twisted his heart completely off course.

About the Author:

Avelyn Paige is the mischief-maker behind steamy dark romance, gritty mafia love stories, and high-octane motorcycle club tales that have blazed their way onto the Wall Street Journal and USA TODAY bestseller lists. She calls Indiana home, where she lives with her husband and five furry troublemakers who think they’re her editors.

When she’s not fighting the good fight in cancer research, Avelyn trades test tubes for plot twists and dives into worlds filled with danger, devotion, and deliciously bad decisions. She writes romance because it’s the one place where chaos and love can coexist, bullets can fly, hearts can heal, and everyone still gets the kind of ending worth fighting for.

After losing her dad in 2015, she turned heartbreak into creativity and never looked back. Now, she’s on a mission to prove that even the darkest hearts can find redemption, and that love, no matter how twisted, always leaves a mark worth remembering.
