Blurb:

Gideon had been dreaming and dreaming and dreaming, a dream he never seemed to able to wake from. And to call it a dream was as broken a description as a child could crayon draw. A nightmare mired in the macabre was the signpost planted in the blood of its concrete. A nightmare shivving his spine and soul with every moment it crawled forward

It was filled with all those he loved, calling for him, pleading, screaming, to save them, to help them and yet he could do nothing but sleep, nothing but dream, circling on repeat over and over again.

And the images were a caricature of a reality cracked in madness, Shira and So’Sha, grown, blades and death in their eyes, Shadow and Moon standing on two legs, L’Sana and Ari in a cage dreaming their own dreams, chained in their own devils, flashing images of a universe at war with itself, the Shadowborn whispering again and again ‘Soon Gideon, soon….be ready..”

He wanted to shatter his prison, wanted to howl, wanted to reach out to those that were his world, his everything but only sleep and dream, sleep and dream…the true War had come and he was drowning within his own mind, choking on the detritus of impotency, eternity in chains that didn’t give a shit.

“I will slaughter them all!!”

Gideon would wake and people would die, a thousand times over they would die!!!

He screamed this at himself, over and over, lost in the dream, in the macabre broken of breaking. It was the prayer he kept lamenting to no-one, kept spitting into the pillow of his insanity as the bars to his cage, tightened, crushing his flesh and his hope, endlessly cruel, endlessly ambivalent.

He would wake, a promise, and a killer would come with him.

The Backup Plan by K. Bromberg is now live!

Sometimes love isn’t part of the plan. Sometimes it’s the backup plan.

Lucas Hale built his entire life around football.
The franchise quarterback.
The GOAT.
The man everyone on his team counts on.

Recovering from a devastating shoulder injury, the veteran quarterback signs with the Lone Star Rebels for one last chance to prove he still belongs in the league.

There’s just one problem—Dr. Emery Porter.

The Rebels’ new injury specialist isn’t impressed by Lucas’s charm—or his determination to push through pain.

She’s seen the scans.
She knows the damage.
And if she clears him to play, it might mean destroying his career for good.

But the more time they spend together, the more dangerous everything becomes.
For Emery’s career.
For Lucas’s future.
And the harder it becomes to remember where professional boundaries end—and where love begins.

Because if Lucas keeps playing, he could lose everything.
And if Emery stops him . . . she might lose the man she’s fallen for.

Sometimes the biggest risk isn’t losing the game.
It’s losing what you never thought you wanted.

🏈Review🏈
Lucas isn’t sure what the future looks like without football so even though he is recovering from a serious injury he isn’t about to end his career that way even if it means signing as the backup for a new team. The one roadblock he hadn’t expected was Emery as not only was she hired by the team to help the players with their injuries but his feelings for her are far from professional.

Working for the team is a fresh start for Emery as she tries to leave her marriage and her ex in the past. Lucas was there for her when she needed someone the most however the more she learns about his injury the more concerned she is about his return to the field especially as the feelings between them escalate.

Lucas and Emery are both facing challenges in their careers which is further complicated by the fact that they are also employed by the same team. The characters are relatable and their journey is filled with emotion, witty banter and a love that neither saw coming or could walk away from.

Embers and Echoes by R.C. Stephens is now live!

Coming to Maple Valley was supposed to be temporary.

Work the summer on the orchard.

Keep my head down.

Find answers about the best friend I lost years ago.

Simple.

Until I met my boss.

Asher Thorne is everything I should stay away from–gruff, protective, and impossible to ignore.

He’s an MMA fighter chasing his next big win.

A man who’s spent his life moving from town to town, never staying long enough for anything or anyone to matter.

The orchard is the only thing anchoring him here.

And he’s made one thing clear from the start.

Mixing business with pleasure is a terrible idea.

Too bad avoiding him is impossible.

Not when the way he looks at me makes my pulse trip.

And not when one kiss from him makes me want things I’ve never wanted before.

Falling for him was never part of the plan.

But the closer I get to the truth about my friend’s disappearance, the more Asher insists I stop digging.

Because Maple Valley has secrets.

And someone wants the past to stay buried.

But I came here looking for answers.

I never expected to find the one man who could derail my plans.

Or ruin me completely.

🩵Review🩵
Claire has come to town looking for answers when it comes to the disappearance of someone she loved. It was the loss of this friend that changed the course of her life, and she can’t afford to be distracted from her mission by anyone and that includes Asher, her boss.

Asher is balancing his career as a MMA fighter and helping at his family’s orchard which doesn’t leave much time for anything or anyone else. When he meets Claire he is surprised by the intense feelings he has for her, but he also knows that her quest is placing her in danger and he is determined to protect her from everyone and that includes herself.

I enjoyed seeing the relationship between Asher and Claire as his protective nature and her independence has them challenging each other in the best ways as they take us on an adventure filled with emotion, intrigue and romance.

Why you will love this book…

🌺Small Town

💛Firefighter

🌺Forced Proximity

💛Grumpy/Sunshine

🌺He Falls First

💛Slow Burn

🌺Found Family

Lark Carrington came to Coral Bell Cove for a fresh start. A fading inn, a quiet life, and a chance to rebuild something steady after everything she’s lost. She didn’t expect her first real connection to come in the middle of chaos.

Holt Wright is used to being underestimated—long before he ever put on a uniform. The easygoing one. The goofball. The brother no one expected much from. Until he became a firefighter. Now, when the alarm sounds, he’s the one people trust when it matters most.

The one who shows up.

The one who stays.

Even for her.

What begins as a single moment—smoke, heat, and the steady presence of the man who pulled her back from the edge—turns into something neither of them can ignore. Long days restoring the Carrington Inn. Late nights that feel a little too honest. A connection that builds slowly… and burns deeper than either of them expected.

Because Lark doesn’t trust easily. And Holt is still learning what it means to be the man people finally believe in.

And when the past Lark tried to outrun starts to catch up with her… they’ll have to decide if this is just a spark—or something worth risking everything for.

At First Spark is a tender, slow-burn small-town romance about healing, showing up, and discovering that sometimes the person who saves you… is the one you choose to stay for.

Blurb:

As a single mom rebuilding my life from scratch, I don’t need help. And I  definitely don’t need the attention of a six-foot-three maple farmer with a beard and a hero complex who looks at me like I’m a problem he didn’t sign up for.

My landlord is broad-shouldered, permanently unimpressed, and entirely too comfortable telling me when I’m wrong. I think he’s grumpy, rigid, and overprotective. He thinks I’m chaos in Crocs.

Falling for Josh Lawrence was never part of the plan.

But then he starts showing up.

For my son when he’s overwhelmed.

For my daughters when they need someone steady.

And for me when my hands won’t stop shaking.

I didn’t come to Vermont looking for a protector. I don’t need rescuing. But somewhere between harvest festivals, pumpkin canoe races, and quiet mornings in the sugar shack, the man I swore was just an annoyance becomes my safe place.

And when my dangerous past resurfaces and threatens the new life I’ve built, the grumpy maple farmer next door becomes my fiercest protector, ready to stand by my side while I fight for my family.

Because it turns out maple farmers are a lot like their trees: quiet, stubborn, and surprisingly sweet when the pressure builds.

🍂Review🍂
When Celine and her three children move to Maplewood she is looking to escape the past they endured and have a fresh start. She isn’t sure what to make of Josh as he is equal parts grouchy and equal parts supportive and patient when it comes to the way he cares for her and her children.

When Celine and her children come into Josh’s life he is feeling out of his depth as it is unlike anything he has ever known or felt before. As he spends time with them all he wants to do is be there for them even if that includes protecting them from their pasts.

Josh is patient and understanding as he shows Celine and her kids that he is unlike any other man they have known and that they can trust him. The banter is entertaining; the romance is heartfelt and the relationship that is forged between Josh and the way he knew exactly what Celine and her children needed.

He slid into her inbox. She fell in front of the world.

Kingston

As a professional hockey player, I’m used to getting fan mail.

I never send it.

Until Evie Alexander sings the national anthem at our game.

She has the voice of an angel, the eyes of a siren, and a mouth I can’t stop thinking about.

The whole arena watched me make a fool of myself trying to meet her.

They also watched her walk away like I didn’t exist.

She thinks I just want her in my bed.

She’s wrong.

I want her in my bed and wearing my ring.

If writing my way into her life is what it takes? I’m all in.

I don’t quit…and I definitely don’t lose.

Evie

As a musician, fan mail comes with the job.

But nothing prepared me for this.

Kingston Monroe’s letters are charming and dangerously sincere, not at all what I expected from the cocky hockey star who embarrassed me at his game.

I promised myself I wouldn’t fall for him.

Then he shows up at my concert…and I fall anyway.

Hard enough that the whole world hears it.

Now I have to decide if the sweet, shameless man in my inbox is real… or if I’m just another game he’s determined to win.

🏒Review🏒

Evie is a rising star with a compelling voice who has been asked to sign the national anthem at a hockey game.   As part of the engagement, she agrees to meet the team before the game where she shares an unforgettable encounter with Kingston.

Kingston is a professional hockey player who is smitten by Evie from their first meeting.    When she leaves before the game is over he starts flirting with her through direct messages to convince her that he isn’t looking for a good time but a future.

The banter between them was entertaining and Kingston was determined in his pursuit and not about to give up until he claimed the woman who stole his heart.

🏒Next Gen Langfield, but can be read as a standalone

There are only two things I’ve ever truly wanted in my life. To be a goalie in the NHL and JJ Hanson.

In a twisted way, both dreams have come true. Rather than a spot on the roster though, I’m now the first female goalie coach in the NHL. JJ Hanson’s coach, specifically.

Not only is he one of my players—making him totally off limits—he’s also a single dad and still technically married. Oh, and thanks to my father’s meddling, he’s now my roommate, along with his cousin and her three kids, my sister and her four-year-old twins, my cousin, and JJ’s daughter, who I unfortunately adore.

Yup, I’m living with six kids under the age of five, and the only man I’ve ever loved.

There was a time when JJ was my closest friend, and for one perfect moment, he was mine. Now we don’t even talk. JJ is determined to change that, though, and when opportunity strikes and suddenly both of my dreams are within reach, I have to make a decision. Can I step out onto that ice as the first female goalie in the NHL and trust JJ with my heart?

I’ve never been one to walk away from a challenge. Maybe the only way JJ and I can move forward is to go back to the start.

Paper Rings is a friends-to-lovers, single-dad, second-chance hockey romance with dual POV and a dual timeline featuring a Brownstone like Mother Faker and many of your favorite characters from the Langfield Brothers’ family. It is the first book in the New Romantics Series and a complete standalone

Billionaire bad boy, Harrison Bennett, is the most popular boy at Stanthorpe Academy… and he’s suddenly obsessed with me?

Genevieve
Fresh off a breakup and deep amid a personal sexual revolution, I throw caution to the wind and let loose for one night. Just my luck that the angry, broody boy from English, who looks like he’s good with his hands and may or may not star in all my nighttime fantasies, is suddenly interested in more than my notes. He is a walking red flag, but it turns out I’m colorblind. It’s senior year, and you only live once, right? Let’s hope I can survive the inevitable heartbreak.

Harrison
My obsession with Genevieve is my deepest secret. What she calls broody indifference, I call self-preservation. I fell for her instantly three years ago, but I’ll ruin her if I get too close. And then one night, all the planets and stars align, and I know I can give her what she needs. Now, I need to convince her to be mine forever.

This steamy standalone instalove high-school romance is bully-lite, dual POV, no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA.

❤️Review❤️
When Genevieve transfers to Stanthorpe Academy it is unlike any school she attended before and the transition isn’t made easier by Harrison, an entitled fellow student, who is anything but friendly. She has had feelings for him for a few years, but it wasn’t until a few years later that his animosity for her were hiding how he really felt.

Due to his complicated family situation Harrison has tried to protect Genevieve by not letting her into his life. That situation comes to a head when she ends her relationship with her boyfriend and now he will do whatever is necessary to claim her as his own.

A little turmoil and intense chemistry collide as Genevieve and Harrison finally acknowledge their true feelings for each other and the love they were meant to share.

When high school senior Joe Jameson lands a spot in the elite Missouri State Jazz Band, he thinks it’s his big break-a chance to perform at a luxury resort alongside the state’s top young musicians.

Then a goat-headed demon shows up.

Calling itself the Accuser, the creature taunts Joe with cryptic clues about his missing parents. At the resort, things get worse: some of the musicians are secretly in league with the demon…and Joe’s stuck rooming with one of them.

Between rehearsals, unraveling a deadly occult conspiracy, and trying not to fall for the lead alto saxophonist (whose ex wants him dead), Joe has to piece together the truth before the Accuser regains its full power-and devours every soul on Earth.
