Silas is different from the rest of the Hollow Boys as while they have all found love the love he found was taken away. Since that day everything he did was to right the wrong of the pasts and thought that had been accomplished only to see the danger rise from the ashes and the woman he is trying to protect might just be his salvation.

The trauma that Coraline has been through is something that no one should have to endure, and it changed her as she tries to hide the aftereffects and trust is not a gift she gives easily. When Silas comes back into her life, she agrees to his suggestion to protect her but her determination to keep her emotional distance is proving more difficult than she thought.

After all that Silas and Coraline have been through there is no one more deserving of happiness. They understand each other in a way that few people do as they take us on an emotional and romantic ride that you won’t soon forget.

Title: Rekindled

Series: Brothers of Fire #5

Author: Kathryn Shay

Genre: Contemporary/Firefighter Romance

Tropes: Firefighter Romance, Fireman Romance, Strong Female Heroine, Reunion Romance, Second Chance at Love, Small Town Romance, Alpha Male Romance

Release Date: October 15, 2023

He’s a firefighter captain who can’t escape his ex-wife—and his feelings for her.

She’s trying to forget her ex, but circumstances conspire against her.

Despite his horrific childhood, Adam Stark found happiness with Beth and they had an idyllic beginning. Until he changed into a rigid, unyielding husband and father.

Beth stayed with Adam for as long as she could, then she divorced him. Yet, she’s never gotten over the love of her life.

Can they rise above their past hurts and find their happily-ever-after again? Or will his background finally drag him down irrevocably?

Be sure to read all the Brothers of Fire books: ALL FIRED UP, THE RESCUE, FRIENDLY FIRE, SCORCHED, REKINDLED and COMING IN HOT.

“Mom, it’s me, Janelle. You gotta come over to Dad’s condo.”

Beth’s heart clutched at the worry in her daughter’s voice. “Calm down, sweetie. What happened?”

“We just got home from school and found him in bed. He didn’t go to work today.”

Which never happened. Adam was rigid about showing up for work and the kids going to school. It was one of the reasons they divorced.

“He’s burning up with fever and his face is red.”

Janelle could call 911. But Beth would never leave her two kids to deal with a potential emergency alone.

She glanced around her gallery, Artistic Gems. As the manager and owner, she had a lot of leeway with the schedule. “Work is close to the river condos. I’ll be right over.”

After she disconnected, she walked out to the back office to find the assistant manager talking to Reg, the man she was dating. “I have to leave for an emergency.”

“I’m sorry to hear that,” Mary Kay told her. “Don’t worry about anything. I’m on till closing.”

“Is it he kids?” Reg asked.

Reg Worthington was a world-class artist and she’d met him at an art show. He’d contracted to show three of his paintings in her gallery. After they sold, he added more works. Eventually, he rented a loft here, where he could paint and see her.

“Not exactly.” She explained what happened.

“Janelle should call 911.” His voice was cold. In most things, Reg was kind and loving. But where Adam was concerned, he…wasn’t.

“Damn it, Reg. I can’t leave her alone to deal with this.” She crossed to her desk and grabbed her purse. Adam used to tease her that it was more like a suitcase. “Thanks, Mary Kay.”

Reg took a step toward her. “I’ll go with you.”

“No. I need to do this alone.” She hurried out the door, leaving Reg agape.

As she drove, she thought about how different the two men were. Adam was blond, blue-eyed and had a runner’s body. Reg sported longish dark hair, gray eyes and a body builder’s form. Adam dressed in conservative clothes and Reg in what the kids called hippie chic.

She shook off her thoughts when she reached Adam’s rented condo and parked. As the river whooshed by, she hurried to number 24. One of Adam’s brothers of fire and his wife owned it but were living elsewhere.

Janey was waiting on the porch. Her fourteen-year-old threw herself into Beth’s arms. “I’m so scared, Mom. Daddy’s really sick.”

“Let’s go see.” She barely took in her surroundings as Janey led her through the living room, to the left and down a hall to a bedroom.

From the doorway, she saw Adam laying listlessly in the bed. His face was indeed flushed. Janelle sat by his bedside. She stood and crossed to Beth. They hugged.

Her daughter was pale. “Thanks for coming, Mom.”

“Of course I came. Did you take his temperature?”

“Yeah, we found a brand new thermometer in the vanity.” Her dark blue eyes were wide. “It’s 103.”

“All right. I’m taking over now. Would you go get a washcloth and a bowl of water with ice in it?”

When Janelle left, she crossed to the bed. Up close, she saw Adam’s face was very red. She put her hand to his forehead. It was hot.

“Beth…Beth…” he mumbled.

“Adam, I’m here.”

He opened his eyes. They were the exact color of Janelle’s and Janey’s except his were bloodshot now. “Hi.”

“Hi,” she said softly.

Janelle returned with the bowl. Sitting down on the straight chair, she dipped the washcloth in the water and rested the cold compress on his forehead.

He shivered first, then sighed. “That feels good.”

“I imagine it does. Did you take ibuprofen?”

“Don’t have any.”

He was a stickler about taking any medication.

“Did you call into work?”

“I managed that when I tried get up then fell back into bed.”

She brushed her hand down his cheek. “I think we should take you to Urgent Care.”

“No. Not going there.”

Stubborn man. This had happened before. His obstinacy was another reason why they divorced.

“It’s only a bug.”

“Your fever’s high.”

“It’ll break.”

“Please let me take you.”

“No.” He took her hand in a limp grasp. “But stay with me.”

He must be sick to want her here. For a while, she’d thought about getting back together with him. But he rejected the notion. “I stay. Janelle can take my car to get medicine.”

He was still holding her hand and squeezed it. “Thanks.” His eyes closed.

Turning to her kids, who were in the doorway, she said, “Janelle, money and keys are in my purse. Are you calm enough to drive and get your father some ibuprofen at the Main Street Pharmacy?”

“Now that you’re here, I am.” She grabbed what she needed and left.

Beth turned to her other daughter. “Janey, Dad’s going to be fine. If he isn’t better after he takes the ibuprofen, we’ll take him to Urgent Care. If he won’t go, we’ll call the EMTs. Would you refresh the ice water, please?”

“Okay, Mom.”

She bathed his face until Janelle returned and Beth opened the bottle; she shook out three pills. He gulped them back and reached for the glass but his hand shook so badly, she had to hold the cup for him while he drank. “There, now close your eyes. Sleep.”

“Don’t leave.”

“I won’t.

He fell back to sleep fast.

“Girls, why don’t you do your homework, or if you can’t concentrate, watch some TV. We’ll wait until he wakes up and see what to do next.”

After they left, she went to the window and opened it. The late-afternoon September breeze swept the room of its stuffy air. Then she stepped from the room and took out her phone. Punched in a number.

“Beth?” Reg’s worried voice. “How is everything?”

“Adam’s got a high fever. If it’s not better in a few hours, I’m taking him to Urgent Care.”

Silence. Then, “I don’t like this, Beth.” He was jealous as hell of Adam and he had good reason. Though she couldn’t live with him, Beth had never stopped loving her ex-husband.

A NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY bestselling author, Kathryn Shay has been a lifelong writer and teacher. She has written dozens of self-published original romance titles, print books with the Berkley Publishing Group and Harlequin Enterprises and mainstream women’s fiction.

HOSTED BY:

Even though Beth loved Adam he was no longer the man she married, and she needed to do what was best for her and their daughters. They have both moved forward with their lives, but recent events have them spending time together the feelings between them are becoming harder to deny.

Adam has never stopped loving Beth, but he also believes that she deserves more than he can give her. Just when they might have a second chance his past resurfaces, and he will have to choose between making peace with it or driving a deeper wedge between him and his family?

This is a heartwarming story about love, family and healing from the past. Love was never the problem between Beth and Adam, and I enjoyed seeing them find their way back to each other.

Fumbled Beginning
S. Jones
(Atlanta Arrows Series, #2)
Publication date: October 12th 2023
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

One of the perks of being one of the best wide receivers in the league was having my pick of cleat chasers looking for a good time. Unfortunately, the only one to hold my attention was the feisty brunette who wanted nothing to do with me.

Did I still try to flirt with her—you bet I did.

Did she fall for my charms? That would be a hard no.

Instead of laughing at my jokes, she pretended I didn’t exist.

Until I tried to rescue her from a bad date, did she thank me? Of course not, but she did try to kiss me (at least, that was my version of the story). The girl was trouble with a capital T.

She was also smart, gorgeous, and all wrong for me—just ask her brother.

My best friend.

Dating her would be a terrible idea, but then again, I was famous for making bad decisions.

So, when her car broke down, and I came to her rescue, I offered up a way she could pay me back—one dinner! That’s all I needed to prove I wasn’t just a player.

I should have put a stop to things right then and there. Because now she wasn’t just under my skin, but under my sheets too.

Until I messed up—big time, and now I have to prove to her that I deserved a second chance, because I refused to accept that it was game over.

I knew the rules, I knew the stakes, and I was playing for keeps.

EXCERPT:

I unrolled my window, and the sight of him made me wish I had walked or called my dad instead. His playful green eyes smiled down at me.

“Thank you for coming. I hope I didn’t tear you away from anything too important, like a date or something like that.”

His brow raised, and I suddenly felt the urge to pound my head against the steering wheel. Maybe it would reset my brain and get it to start working right again.

I felt like Baby in Dirty Dancing when she blurted out, “I carried a watermelon.”

“You didn’t tear me away from anything. I was up watching ESPN.” His face broke out into a full-blown grin. “Would it bother you if I was on a date?”

“Of course not. It’s none of my business what or who you do.”

He snorted. “Yeah, I can tell.”

“Whatever.” I sighed because it was obvious that I was lying. “How much do you know about cars?” I asked, leaning back slightly. His large frame was taking up so much room it was hard for me to think clearly.

“What seems to be the problem?” he asked, sticking his head farther into my personal space. I could practically feel the heat coming off his body, and with the smell of his cologne, that was a dangerous combination for me.

When I looked up to answer him, I swallowed, and my attention immediately went to his tattooed arms, gripping the end of my door. Every tiny movement would cause the hem of his shirt to ride up his toned stomach. I averted my eyes up to his sharp jawline and noticed his newly trimmed beard, it was short, and I liked it—a lot. It made his lips more noticeable, and I wanted to kiss him so badly that I envisioned what it would feel like. No doubt I would savor every second because a man as confident as him had to be skilled in that area.

He cleared his throat, pulling me from my thoughts. “Rylee?”

“Yeah?” I blinked up at him, trying to remember what we were talking about before I slipped into fantasy land.

“Your car?”

“What about it?” I was confused and distracted and making a complete fool of myself.

His eyes were sparkling. “You mentioned something about overheating.”

“Yes, right, that would be me.” My eyes flashed to his in mortification. “I mean my car! My car is overheating. Not me!”

Excerpt
Copyright 2023 Gail Haris

Thanasis doesn’t look amused. “You know kids live on this street. Stringing the lights to look like Santa is peeing off the side of the house isn’t appropriate. And having my elves holding a body bag with the rest of my Christmas decorations in it is borderline disturbing.”

I can’t help it. I snort with laughter. Thanasis’ eyes soften and I notice a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth. “I wanted us to become friends. To make peace.”

Doubtful. But I’ll play along. “Fine. Let’s be friends.”

“Too late. You don’t mess with a man’s yard.” I scoff, Thanasis continues. “I want you to remember you started this.”

Started what? “Nothing has started. It’s finished. Consider that as me getting even for last night.”

“What happened last night?”

“You were being obscene.” I hate the way my eyes drift to his lips. His perfect teeth are on display with his sexy knowing smile. His tongue snakes out only a bit to wet his lips, but it’s enough to have me squeezing my thighs together.

“And you’re being childish by vandalizing my property.”

“Is it vandalizing if it’s an improvement? When you think about it, I did you a favor. Consider it my gift to you for Sweetest Day.”

“You definitely spiced up the neighborhood. I’ll see you for our playdate.”

I loathe the fact that he looks so sexy when he winks. I wonder if I can teach the dogs to pee on him.

💜Review💜
Rose doesn’t have the best memories of Candy Cane Key or some of the people in it however she finds herself returning for a visit when her parents decide to go on vacation and need her to look after their pampered pooches.

Thanasis had a crush on Rose when they were teenagers, but he didn’t know how to handle those feelings and mistakes were made. Now that she is back in town, he wants a second chance, but it may take a few pranks and all his charm to make it happen.

Humorous banter and I enjoyed seeing the relationship develop between Rose and Thanasis and the friendship between his dog and her parent’s dogs was adorable.

She already knows all of his secrets, and that’s what terrifies him the most.

Looking for one night to forget her problems, Oona Young uses an alias and follows a handsome stranger back to his hotel room. Their time together is brief but passionate, and she leaves in the morning, believing she’ll never see him again. Only when her newest patient is the same man who’s seen all of her tattoos, do things get awkward. She’s read his file and knows what he’s dealing with. Ethically, she must refuse to treat him.

Forced into therapy before he can return to active duty as a police officer, Aiden Lassiter has been on the waitlist to see Dr. Young for months. So imagine his frustration and shock when the woman, who hasn’t left his thoughts since that wild night he used a fake name, is sitting in the therapist’s chair and refuses to treat him.

Things can’t get any worse, right?

Oh, but they can and certainly do when he finally works up the courage to visit his estranged brother and Oona ends up beside him on the plane. Little do either of them know they’re in for one interesting Christmas.

“What can you say about the book you’ve been waiting for to come out but WOWZERS! This is the last Young sister we’ve seen her in past books but wow is Oona amazing. She and Aiden meet unexpectedly and have a fun sexy night together. However the next day everything goes down hill and keeps on rolling. Will they figure it out?” ~Mrs Taz (Amazon Review)

“My favourite scene in the story is when all of the sisters are able to get together and really work through just how hurtful their upbringing was. But then they realized that finding strength in the struggle to become the women they turned out to be: top of their game in their chosen professions, loved by friends and family, desired by the men who stood up for their love really made their chosen family theirs.” ~AngelaC (Amazon Review)

“I can smell you,” he growled, trailing his fingers delicately up her inner thigh, gathering some of her arousal that coated her inner lips, and pressing the pad of his thumb against her clit. “Smell how bad you want me. How bad you want my cock in your tight little cunt.”

Normally, a man smelling her arousal would be something that would embarrass her. Yet, with Aiden, she was turned on by it. She didn’t care. Didn’t give a damn that he knew how hot she was for him. How much she wanted him. He clearly wanted her, too, otherwise, he wouldn’t have attacked her with his mouth and undressed her.

Her body was open and ready for him. Ready to welcome the enemy.

They could keep things drama free for Rayma and Jordan’s sake, but right now, they had things they needed to clear up. Closure sex.

Yeah, that’s what this was.

Angry, hateful, closure sex.

That was a thing, right?

Like a bookend to a bad story. They had sex as strangers. Albeit strangers who seemed to like each other and get along. Then things turned ugly. And now, they were at the end of the book, and although it wasn’t a happy ending, they were attempting to wrap things up with a hate fuck of closure.

That made very little sense to her, but whatever. That was what it was.

Reaching between them, she wrapped her fingers around his cock and stroked him, pulling a bear-like growl from deep within his chest. “Why?” he breathed, dropping his mouth next to her ear.

She had no answers. She couldn’t push a word from her tight throat if she tried.

“I hate you,” he said, his mouth next to her temple.

Yeah, and she wasn’t overly fond of him, either.

“But I … I can’t resist. No fucking self-control.”

Whoa! Her pussy spasmed and she nearly came from that tortured confession.

With her free hand, she shoved her fingers into his hair and wrenched his head back, only to take his mouth with force, wedging her tongue between his lips. He bit her lip and growled again, taking control of their kiss, and forcing her to tilt her head the other way.

She ripped her mouth away, pulling in air like she’d just resurfaced from a record-breaking free dive. She needed to keep hold of at least some of her wits. To keep her desire for this man, whom she definitely shouldn’t want, from completely drowning her. To remind him that he hated her, and this was a terrible idea.

But still, no words formed on her tongue. The ability to put vowels and consonants together to form words eluded her.

And it wasn’t just because she didn’t want to be the one to break, it was because even though she knew this was a terrible idea, a colossally disastrous idea, she couldn’t stop.

She didn’t want to.

Then, he pushed one finger, and another into her channel and pumped. Their cheeks were glued together, sweat forming between their pressed-together skin, as they both panted, his cock throbbing hotly in her palm while she stroked him. He curled his fingers inside of her and she ground down onto his palm, biting her lip and tipping her head back. But he wasn’t having any of that, apparently, and pulled his fingers free of her almost fast enough to give her pussy whiplash.

Then she was off the counter and bent over the arm of the couch, ass in the air. She didn’t remember leaving her purse in the living room last night, but there it was, right on the floor beside his big, bare feet. He bent down and rifled through it until he found a condom. The sound of the wrapper being ripped open was deafening, and the anticipation of what was to come, agonizing and glorious.

Her legs shook and her pussy pulsed, causing another trickle of arousal to run down her inner thigh.

When Oona arrives at her office where she is a therapist, she is surprised to see that the man she spent a steamy night with is her new patient. She knows that treating him could be a conflict but denying his request is proving to be more difficult than expected but that is the only beginning when she finds out their lives are connected in a way she never anticipated.

Aiden is a police officer who must see a therapist not because he wants to but because his job depends on it. He isn’t about to let their past allow Oona to refuse to treat him, but things are about to become a whole lot more complicated.

This is a heartwarming story about love, family and healing from the past. Even though they try to deny the feelings they have for each other and don’t make it easy there is no denying they are meant to be.

A Canadian West Coast baby born and raised, Whitley is married to her high school sweetheart, and together they have two beautiful daughters and a fluffy dog. She spends her days making food that gets thrown on the floor, vacuuming Cheerios out from under the couch and making sure that the dog food doesn’t end up in the air conditioner. But when nap time comes, and it’s not quite wine o’clock, Whitley sits down, avoids the pile of laundry on the couch, and writes.

A lover of all things decadent; wine, cheese, chocolate and spicy erotic romance, Whitley brings the humorous side of sex, the ridiculous side of relationships and the suspense of everyday life into her stories. With single dads, firefighters, Navy SEALs, mommy wars, body issues, threesomes, bondage and role-playing, Whitley’s books have all the funny and fabulously filthy words you could hope for.

Make Me Merry 🎄 Available Now

Release Date: October 12

From Marie Johnston comes a holiday, age gap, boss’s daughter romance.

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is a quiet week on my mom’s ranch while she’s gone and to watch my nieces and nephews open presents on Christmas morning.

I’d also like to be rescued from a power outage in a snowstorm and be thrown into the warm bed of a hot man. Even better if I’ve had a major thing for that guy for most of my life. If I walk in on him doing laundry when every stitch of his clothing is in the wash, I’ll consider that the best present ever.

What I’d really like for Christmas is for him to get over our age difference and the fact that he works for my mom and finally admit he has feelings for me. But that might be asking for a Christmas miracle.

Christmas wishes,

Nora Barron

🎄Review🎄
Even though Nora has had feelings for Colt for years she has had to face the fact that they will never be returned. When she decides to spend the holidays at the family ranch, she never expected to see him in all his glory or that a little forced proximity will force the chemistry between them to ignite.

Colt is not only older than Nora, but he also has a difficult past. He may have feelings for her but not only does she deserve more than he thinks he can give her but his livelihood could be caught in the crossfire, but some rewards might just be worth the risk.

I enjoyed the evolution of both characters as despite all the challenges they were facing they realized that what they shared is worth fighting for.

Meet Marie Johnston

Marie Johnston is a RITA® Finalist, and a best-selling and award-winning writer of paranormal and contemporary romance – and an avid reader of them both.

Several years ago, when kids started outnumbering adults in the house, Marie Johnston left her job as a public health microbiologist to stay at home. Settling into working part-time and shuttling kids around gave Marie the opportunity to think about what she wanted to be when she grew up. A die-hard science geek, she explored her previously thought to be non-existent creative side after much time spent making snowman crafts and coloring princesses. Having entertained thoughts of writing a book one day then subsequently deciding it would be too hard, she finally put the figurative pen to paper and began to type – and fell in love with story telling.

The Sigma Menace is the first series by Marie with Fever Claim being her first book EVER. She is humbled by the fact that people are willing to read to her books and looks forward to keeping readers entertained for many years.

Marie lives with her husband and four kids in North Dakota where the summers are gorgeous, the winters are brutal, and spring and fall are luxuries.
