A PUPPET

The men in the secret society known as the Lords think they rule the world. And in a way, they do. Each has sold their soul to the devil at a young age in exchange for power and wealth. Like anything else, they have different levels of success. The more they’re willing to serve, the more power they have.

Among them are the Spade brothers, who run Carnage. It’s where the Lords who have not held up their oath go to live out the rest of their lives in shackles. Tucked away from the world as if they never existed.

I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.

I once belonged to a Lord—Saint Beckham Carter. Although nothing was holy about him, I still kneeled as if he could grant me eternity in a world where only evil existed.

At the time, I willingly vowed to be his and allowed him to share me with his “brothers.” But things changed. And what I thought couldn’t get any better got exceptionally worse. So I did the only thing I could and ran from him, knowing I could never return.

Now he’s found me and dragged me back to his hell, where he will make me his pet. The world already thinks I’m dead, so no one will miss me. And I’m just another name on a long list of those who will never know freedom.

What he doesn’t know is why I ran from him in the first place. A Lord doesn’t listen to reason, so it’s not like he’d care anyway. Saint was born a Lord, and he will die as one.

If life has taught me anything, it’s that we all pay for our sins. And Saint will never let me forget that my place is at Carnage, serving him on my knees until death is granted.

I Wish I Knew Then by Jessica Peterson is now live!

My grandmother has a saying: what’s done in the dark always comes to light, especially in small towns with big secrets. And I was hiding the biggest secret of them all.

Every summer I spent growing up at my grandparents’ coastal estate was the same. Same cousins. Same chaos. Same long golf cart rides along the beach.

But everything changed the summer I turned eighteen, when my grandparents’ new housekeeper moved in with her son, Riley. With his big personality and head-turning looks, he was the local heartthrob.

We fell in love instantly. Riley was my first everything. First love. First time.

And my first heartbreak when he dumped me at the end of the summer.

Ten years later, I’m back on the island for my best friend’s wedding as her maid of honor. Who’s the first person I literally stumble into?

Riley Dixon. Even worse? He’s the groom’s best man, and a self-made billionaire to boot.

Being forced to spend an entire week together for wedding festivities quickly leads to more: hot hate sex, late nights of sneaking out, and unexpected revelations. The boy I knew a decade ago is gone, and the hate becomes…something else entirely. And I begin to wonder if Riley is hiding some secrets of his own.

I WISH I KNEW THEN is a small town, standalone romance. It is the first book in the Harbour Village Series.

As a teenager Lu fell in in love with Riley and was devastated when he broke her heart. Without him and the plans they made she picked up the pieces and moved on. A decade later she return to Harbor Village for her best friend’s wedding where she finds herself dealing with the loss of her future plans a second time and facing the man she has never forgotten.

Years earlier Riley made the decision that he believed was best at the time and every action that he has made in their time apart was to find a way back to her. Now that she is back he is determined to show her that they have always belonged together and that the future they both want is within her grasp if she will only open her heart to the possibilities.

Riley knows that Lu is the best thing to ever happen to him and it is finally their time. Everything he says and everything he does is a testament to their enduring love and he isn’t about to give up until she knows it as well.

Corinne Michaels has revealed the gorgeous covers for Broken Dreams!

Releasing: December 1, 2023

Cover Designer: Sommer Stein

Photographer: Michelle Lancaster

Model: Chad Hurst

What could possibly go wrong fake dating the gorgeous single dad in a small town?

The answer, you fall for him.

It started out perfect. Grady Whitlock needed a plus one for his business meetings, and I needed a date for a wedding.

We had a plan. It was a good one.

Until it wasn’t.

I was not supposed to have feelings for him. I was not going to let my heart race when his soulful blue eyes stared into mine. No way should I have noticed his smile or the dimple on his right cheek or his strong arms when he held me close. I especially wasn’t going to melt when I saw him play with my daughter.

Most of all I was not going to sleep with him.

Nope. None of that was supposed to happen, but it does.

Now I find myself dreaming of him every night. Wishing we were really a couple because the way he kisses me doesn’t feel as if it’s pretend.

But we’ve both watched our dreams shatter, and I can’t handle another broken heart.

Back then? They were great together.
Now? They could be even better.

Better Than Most by Jennifer Millikin is now live!

From Amazon Charts bestselling author Jennifer Millikin comes a brother’s best friend, second chance romance filled with heart, heat, and humor.

Rhodes Porter.

A name Georgia Whittier would prefer never cross her lips again. Not only was her older brother’s best friend her first love, her first everything, but he broke her heart for a reason she still hasn’t fully accepted. To make it worse, Georgia couldn’t properly nurse her broken heart, because nobody knew about the love affair.

A decade has passed, and Georgia is all grown up. She’s twenty-seven, a college graduate who had a real world job. Had. Her small hometown of Green Haven isn’t flush with teaching jobs, but she knew that when she moved back home. She’s making ends meet with odd jobs, and has rediscovered her old love of West Coast swing dancing. Life isn’t great, but it’s good enough.

Until Rhodes returns to Green Haven. For good.

As much as Georgia would prefer to banish him from her life, she can’t. See: Brother’s best friend. Now Rhodes is everywhere. Her brother’s wedding. At a family barbecue. On the sidewalk across the street while Georgia waits in line at the post office.

And that broken heart Georgia thought had healed? It hasn’t. Because Rhodes is just like before. Better, even.

Georgia is determined to keep Rhodes at arm’s length, even when he’s buying her blackberry orange jam at the Sierra Grande farmer’s market. Even when he’s holding eye contact a beat too long. Especially when she finds out the old note she wrote him is still sewn into the brim of his baseball hat.

The hat he still wears.

Every day it gets more difficult for Georgia to refuse her heart.
But if what Georgia wants is a reason not to fall in love with Rhodes again, she need look no further.

Rhodes is holding onto it. All these years he’s kept the truth of why he left her a secret, but secrets have a way of revealing themselves.

And this one? It’s a doozy.

🧡Review🧡
Although it’s been years Georgia has a past with Rhodes which nobody knows about and didn’t end well. All she wants to do is keep her distance and try to keep the past where it belongs however fate had other ideas and once they start spending time together she realizes that the only way to heal from the past might be to face it.

Rhodes is a man with secrets and that includes the reason that he ended his relationship with Georgia. After being away for years he has returned for the wedding of his best friend and Georgia’s brother, however it isn’t just a visit as he wants to be there for his family. The chemistry and connection between them hasn’t diminished over time but will they be able to overcome what drove them apart?

This is a second chance at love between two people who despite the time and distance between them have always owned each others’ hearts. They do have a lot of turmoil to overcome both when it comes to their relationship with each other and with the other people in their lives but the outcome only makes it that much more rewarding.

When my best friend’s little sister walks in on me moaning her name, it’s all over. All restraints are shattered, and every boundary demolished. Nothing will be the same…

For years, I’ve tried to keep my distance from Dakota Cooper. She’s everything I’ve ever wanted and the one thing I can’t have.


But when she calls me in the middle of the night after someone tries to break into her house, I can no longer handle that distance, and I convince her to stay with me, along with her young son.


I should have known having her living under my roof would push me to the edge. Ignite the need that has simmered for so long.


The problem is, she’s forbidden. Off-limits. And I know better than crossing that line.
I can’t drag her into the dark secrets of my life.


But I can’t stay away from her either, so I do the one thing I shouldn’t—I take.
And now that I’ve had her, I’m not sure I can save her from who I am. . .


What to expect in Don’t Forget Me Tomorrow…
*Brother’s best friend
*Small town romance
*Secret past
*Pierced MC

💚Review💚
Even if Dakota doesn’t believe that she and Ryder will ever be together that doesn’t stop the feelings she has for him. Instead, she is focused on being the best mother she can for her son Kayden and the ongoing success of her business. Everything is about to change with one phone call and now Ryder has become her roommate.

Ryder has deep feelings for Dakota but believes that she deserves more than he could ever give her as not only does he have a secret past, but he is best friends with her brother. When circumstances bring them together there is nothing he won’t do to ensure the safety of Dakota and Kayden.

This is an emotional and suspenseful story of two people who have always belonged together. The characters are captivating, and I loved seeing Dakota show Ryder that he and his love was all that Kayden and she needed.

FLIRTING WITH THE CEO

Layla Hagen

Release Date: October 4

FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

I wanted to hate her. Instead, I desperately need her.

I didn’t get to be CEO by playing nice. I’m driven and ruthless—and yes, occasionally rude. But it gets the job done, and that’s all I care about. My business partners disagree. They insist I need to improve my communication skills. That’s how I end up with Zoey Thomas shadowing me.

From the moment she steps into my office, I have one goal: ignore her until she quits. I don’t need anyone telling me how to conduct my business. I call the shots. Always.

But the more I push Zoey away, the more she persists. And she’s starting to piss me off. She’s too chirpy, too sassy, and far too sexy. When we finally sit down to discuss how I could communicate better, I barely manage to pay attention. Instead, I fantasize about exploring her body all night long, and that won’t do.

I manage to keep my distance, right until she shows up at the boxing ring where I blow off steam. Outside the confines of the office, instinct takes over, and I kiss her.

She wants me and I want her, and we explore each other in all the ways I imagined.

But Zoey Thomas should be completely off-limits. She’s fun and walks around with her heart on her sleeve. I’m the exact opposite. Worse, I’m married to my work. Always have been and always will be. I can’t offer her what she wants.

But how am I supposed to let her walk away when all I want is to keep her?

As a result he is just as demanding of his employees as he is of himself however e has been convinced that if he wants to keep his staff, he needs to make some changes. Zoey has been hired to help him both with his work habits and his relationships whether he thinks he needs it or not.

Zoey has experience in helping successful businessmen see the bigger picture and she agrees to take on Colton. She soon realizes that there are reasons that Colton is so gruff and distant and that there is a lot more to the man than first appears.

Due to his past Colton has always focused his attention on work but with the help of his matchmaking grandmother Zoey is about to show him that there is so much more to life than the way he has been living it. Entertaining banter and all the feels as we were able to catch up with this wonderful family and see this enchanting romance develop.

Coveting the Mafia King’s Sister by P. Rayne is now live!

Aria Costa

The first time I saw Gabriele Vitale, some dark yearning deep inside me called to him and no matter what I did, I couldn’t stop wanting him.

He’s made it clear that he wants nothing to do with me. But sometimes there’s a flicker of interest in his eye, and it’s enough to make me know he’s lying.

When a stupid decision on my part throws us together, I get a first-hand view of the darkness he alludes to. One part of me is drawn to it. Another part of me is frightened by it. But not enough to stop from getting to know him better.

He’s like a black hole, slowly sucking me in. As the darkness consumes me, I don’t care if it destroys me.

Gabriele Vitale

Aria Costa is off-limits for many reasons, the least of which is that she’s Marcello Costa’s younger sister. She’s also too young and way too inexperienced to be with someone like me who enjoys dabbling in the darker side of sensuality.

My father and her brother have made it clear that I am to steer clear. And I try. But it proves impossible to erase her from my mind. Whenever she’s near, my protective instincts roar, “Mine” and I’d do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

Which is why after a foolish decision one night I’m forced to help her figure out who’s threatening her and what they want.

I’d give my life for hers, and it might very well come to that.

💙Review💙
Aria’s attempts to show Gabriele how she feels about him have been unsuccessful so as much as it pains her she knows it is time to move on. An unexpected invitation leads her down a path where she finds herself in a difficult situation and help comes from the last person she expected, Gabriele.

Due to family obligations Gabriele has been denying his feelings for Aria and is determined to protect her from everyone and everything and that includes herself. With the situation she finds herself in Gabriel is there every step of the way and keeping his distance is no longer an option.

Aria and Gabriele bring out the best in each other as her strength and sass comes out while he shows that his IT skills are only part of his appeal. The chemistry between them is intense, the suspense keeps you on edge and I enjoyed seeing Aria and Gabriele find their way to each other.
