Having survived being possessed by a demon god, tattooed from head to foot with infernal symbols, and technically dying,
Raven now jumps from the pan into the fire.
With the Infernals’ plan to take over the world thwarted, Fae power begins to rise and with it a new threat to Dusk and its people.
Stuck between the middle of an emerging Fae power and the Infernal god who still clings to her mind, Raven must negotiate a literal war zone to survive and save those she loves.
But, in order to save her friends, she must lose it all.
I glance around, hoping to catch sight of Dr. Chastain’s lovely assistant.
“Don’t bother,” he says, “Ashley’s not here tonight.”
“Damn. She’s the only thing that makes our visits tolerable,” I say with a laugh and instantly regret it.
“That’s too bad, because she’s leaving us this fall,” he says.
That catches my attention. “Yeah?”
Ashley has been a part of Dr. Chastain’s team as long as I can remember, and she’s good at her job, helping to fix up busted cowboys.
“Her son is starting pre-school in the fall, and she wants to be home more.” He adjusts the brace he placed on the bridge of my nose, making sure everything’s set. “Can’t fault her for that.”
“No,” I agree. “Family comes first. But damn, we’ll miss her and her magic hands.”
He nods. “I’ve got a Physical Therapy applicant I’m considering—a doctoral student in Colorado, graduating next year. She worked as a certified medical assistant at a friend’s practice in Laramie while earning her undergrad. He was really impressed with her. She’ll actually be interning at a rodeo school near you this summer.”
“Yeah?” I say again, curiosity piqued. “Where at?”
“Wildhaven,” he confirms. “I’m looking forward to seeing how she performs there before I make a final decision.”
“Raintree-Storm Rodeo Academy?” I ask.
His brows lift slightly. “That’s the one.”
I grin, ignoring the pull in my face. “I’ll be working there this summer too.”
“Well, I’ll be,” he says. “Small world.”
“Yeah,” I say, leaning back carefully. “Wildhaven Storm Ranch—that’s my family’s place. My cousin Charli’s engaged to Bryce Raintree. Academy’s set up on our land.”
Bryce is currently on a two-year rodeo retirement tour before hanging up his hat for good, settling down, making Charli a housewife, planting babies in her, and running the academy full-time.
He lets out a low whistle. “That is a small world.”
“Who’s the student?” I ask. “I’ll keep an eye out for you.”
He glances at me as he finishes taping. “A Miss Asbury.”
I frown slightly. “Asbury…?”
He nods.
“Yep,” he says, “Jovie Ashbury.”
I bark out a laugh, then wince again because that was a mistake. “You’re kidding me.”
“What?” he asks, stepping back to assess his work.
“Little Jojo Asbury?” I shake my head, disbelief settling in.
“You know her?”
“Yeah,” I say, a grin tugging at my mouth despite the pain. “She was my little brother Cabe’s first love. Hell, I think he’s still hat over boots for her.”
He raises a brow. “Is that right?”
“Oh yeah,” I chuckle. “Kid followed her around like a love-sick puppy until she left for school. He’ll be fucking stoked to have her on the ranch for the summer.”
It’s been years since I’ve seen her. She and Cabe must have been twelve or thirteen when I graduated high school and started chasing my rodeo dreams. But I remember her—bright smile, blonde curls, stubborn streak, always stuck to Cabe’s side.
Funny how things circle back.
Blurb:
I ride bulls for a living—chasing buckles, eight seconds at a time. It’s the only thing I’ve ever been good at. Tough. Disciplined. Built for the dirt and the danger. When I’m not on the road, I’m back home in Wildhaven, Wyoming, putting in work at the Raintree-Storm Rodeo Academy — training the next generation on my family’s land.
It’s a simple life. The way I like it.
Then Jovie Asbury walks into the arena and wrecks everything.
She’s not the kid I remember—the sweet, quiet girl who used to trail after my little brother, Cabe, with hearts in her eyes. No, she’s grown into something else entirely. Smart. Driven. Off-limits in every way that matters. She’s interning at the academy, working toward a career in sports medicine, determined to earn her place on the rodeo circuit.
And I can’t stop watching her or thinking about her. Can’t stop wanting her.
And that’s a big problem.
Because Cabe never stopped loving her.
And some lines, no matter how bad you want to cross them… you don’t.
Except the longer she’s here, the harder it gets to stay on my side of that line.
And I’m starting to realize that eight seconds on the back of a bull is nothing compared to trying to hold on to my self-control around Jovie Asbury.
𝙒𝙝𝙤𝙖 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙬𝙗𝙤𝙮 (𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙤𝙮𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠 4) by USA Today bestselling author Ginger Scott releases on July 9th. Check out this sneak peek!
Hair the color of honey streams down her back in waves, and the fitted white blouse tucked into the snug black skirt that stops at her knees hugs her curves like glaze on a piece of pottery. I’ve seen her around the complex the last few days. Campbell Hines. I only know her name because I overheard her leaving a message for someone when she walked by the bullpen the other day. I think she’s the new marketing rep. She has that PR polish about her. And I can’t deny that she’s good for our image. Hell, with a body like that, she can make anything look good—even a Triple-A club squeezed between a dying ranch town and a college hub.
She’s pacing near the front offices, her phone pressed to her ear. She’s on that thing a lot. I drop my gaze as I close in on her, not wanting to appear like I’m ogling or anything. Even if I was.
“I hear what you’re saying, Skip, but what I’m telling you is I’ll get you a lead story. This place is so exciting right now. The club is on the brink of a killer season, and the talent coming through here . . .” Her lashes flit about a second before her green eyes meet mine. Her lip inches up on one side, the glossy red color taunting me like one of those apples in Snow White.
“Hi,” she mouths through her smile.
“Mornin’,” I say with a nod. I’m still dressed for ranch work, my boots dirty from the barn, and my forehead damp with sweat. My hair is mushed under my Stetson. I feel burlier than normal, like a bear trying to maneuver its way into an office. But I manage to hold open the glass door for the goddess, giving hell to whoever is on the other end of that phone call, and when she whispers, “thank you,” as she passes me, I swear I’m hit with a rush of morphine and citrus blossoms all at once.
“Got it, Skip. I’ll deliver. Thank you,” she says, ending her call where the hallway splits in two directions—left for players and right for the money folks.
“Thank you, by the way,” she says, spinning to face me before we part ways. My heart speeds up, and I realize as her hand juts toward me that my palms are suddenly sweating. I run my hand along my thigh and take her slender palm in mine. She gives me a tough shake, and it makes me smirk.
“What kind of guy would I be if I didn’t hold a door open for a beautiful woman?” I say, my eyes squinting with my smile. I think my fucking cheeks are actually hot. What the hell is happening?
She leans into me during our shake, then whispers, “You’d be a real asshole.”
I chuckle and nod as our grip releases.
“Well, I might be that already.” I figure I might as well lead with the shit she’ll figure out on her own soon enough.
“I’m Campbell,” she says.
I nod and smile.
“Yeah, I know your name. You stand out around here. The last marketing rep was, well, in his sixties. And let’s just say his jeans hung a little too low on his waist.”
Campbell scrunches up her face as she chuckles.
“Oh, no. That’s bad. Please tell me if my jeans are ever riding too low, would you?” she replies. She’s being clever, but my damn hot cheeks are making it hard for me to keep my manners in check.
“No, ma’am. I’m afraid if I see your jeans low, I’m going to like it,” I say.
Her smile falls, and fast. Then she takes a noticeable step backward. It’s not like I lied. I told her I was an asshole. My mom hates that sexist shit. Fuck, Jake. Think before speaking.
“I’m Jake, by the way. Mc—”
“I know who you are,” she says, a hint of a smirk playing at her lips. My shoulders relax. Maybe I didn’t absolutely dig myself a grave with that jeans comment. Of course . . . I know why she knows who I am, and it’s not because of anything I did.
“Right. I guess I should get used to that this season. If he sticks around, that is.” I stop short of rolling my eyes.
“Oh, I thought this was your dad’s final year. The way I understand it, he’s here to pass the torch and be the veteran player who spreads his wisdom. Between you and me, I bet they put him on staff to coach in Sweetwater. I’d say he’s here for the long haul. I mean, they’ll retire his jersey in Texas probably, because, well . . . he’s Roddy McKinney. And he’ll have to leave for that. But he’ll be back.”
“We’ll see,” I say, backing away while I’m ahead. Or at least before I go back under.
“What makes you so sure?” Her eyes narrow on me, and her mouth falls into this gentle curve as if she’s genuinely curious. I got used to folks around here knowing my story.
“Oh, I’d put it about the same way you did before. Because . . . well . . . he’s Roddy McKinney.” I shoot Campbell a half-smile before spinning on my boots and heading toward the clubhouse locker room to change and try my damnedest to be useful enough to keep around.
To make the splash I need, I have to sell the team’s most complicated story: hometown catcher Jake McKinney and his estranged, all-star father, Roddy. Only problem? Just because they’re teammates now doesn’t mean they’re talking.
I’ve dealt with difficult athletes before, but Jake is a special brand of prickly. He’s bullheaded, defensive, and completely hell-bent on ignoring me. But I have my own hyper-critical father to answer to, and failure isn’t an option. If Jake thinks he can freeze me out, he’s underestimated how stubborn I can be.
But when his walls finally crack, I don’t just see a player destined for greatness, I see a man determined to right his father’s wrongs. I see the shared scars we both try to hide. And when he kisses me, the carefully planned future I’ve spent years building suddenly starts to blur.
Falling for a player is a massive line to cross. Choosing my career means reopening wounds Jake has worked so hard to heal. But walking away means letting go of my lifelong dream and proving my father right.
Do I stay the course and protect my future, or risk it all for a love I never saw coming?
When five bodies are uncovered on the remote expanse of Rannoch Moor, a quiet Highland community becomes the centre of a major murder investigation.
Detective Inspector Malcolm Ferguson and Detective Sergeant Bonnie Ross face growing pressure as fear spreads through the town of Rannochdeen and the media descends on the isolated region. With no witnesses, few forensic clues, and mounting public panic, the investigation appears to be going nowhere.
But when a concerned neighbour draws attention to a nervous local couple living near one of the moor’s access tracks, Ferguson and Ross begin uncovering secrets hidden behind locked doors, frightened lies, and years of silence.
As the search for the killer closes in on the truth, Ferguson realises some secrets buried beneath the Highlands were never meant to be uncovered.
Sometimes you have to break all the rules to find everything you never knew you wanted. Come along for the fun, sexy ride as billionaire Fitz Silver pursues his biggest challenge yet—taming wild child Jennifer Stone. Loaded with heat, humor, and heart, this steamy, small-town, standalone romance is unputdownable. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after that will leave you thinking about it long after you read the last page.
Silver Island’s golden boy Fitz Silver keeps his business dealings clean, his affairs private, and fulfills every promise he makes. Infuriatingly so. He’s six-plus feet of gentleman in the streets and an unrelenting alpha in the sheets. I should know. I enjoyed a single scorching night in his bed over the summer. But contrary to him being every woman’s fantasy, Fitz is my worst nightmare. I’m a risk taker, a rule breaker. I wasn’t looking for more than a little vacation fun, but that passionate night knocked me off my feet. When a chance encounter brings me face-to-face with the man who ruined me for all others, I know better than to land in his bed again. Unfortunately, outside my job as a high school principal, I’m not known for my good decisions. Once again I plan to leave Mr. Silver and our surprising connection behind, but he’s annoyingly unforgettable, and then two pink lines change everything.
She’s planning their life together. He’s planning to end hers. A serendipitous meet-cute between a bubbly travel influencer and a reclusive billionaire gets twisted in this immensely sexy, darkly funny romance.
One misdirection, and effervescent vacation-home reviewer Sage Featherstone comes bounding up to the door of the wrong cabin. Lucky her.
The owner is Travis Blacksburg, a broody, out-of-this-world-sexy tech billionaire. A quick look at that GQ body, and Sage’s fantasies are running wild. So are Travis’s. With Sage’s spirited personality, mop of pink hair, and lack of boundaries, Travis can’t wait to kill her. Because that’s what he does. Thirty-eight victims so far. And his latest target just walked into his life, looking absolutely irresistible.
But for a man who usually takes great care with his kills, it’s getting complicated. He’s falling for her. And when Sage catches on to Travis’s secret life, she doesn’t run screaming. Maybe she can fix him. Her life could depend on it, and he’s too hot to abandon. They’re taking ride-or-die romance to the next level, but his moral vices aren’t the only unexpected threat to their happily ever after…

Sage is a woman who follows her heart and never considers the consequences. When she arrives at the cabin she believes she has rented she is surprised to see a swoony man at the door. Even after the mistake is revealed she isn’t about to that stand between her and the man she is destined to be with however she is about to find out their future plans for each other are very different.
After selling his business Travis has time on his hands to plan the pursuits he enjoys to the smallest detail. When he meets Sage he believes that she is the perfect woman to be his next victim however as they spend time together as much as she annoys him she intrigues him as well, but will it be enough for him to change his ways.
The situations they find themselves in are humorous and Sage’s personality brings so much fun to a story with a darker theme. Their love story isn’t a fairy tale, but it is exactly the happy ever after that you would expect from this couple.
In Blackthorn Bay, magic is woven into everyday life. The coffee is enchanted, the town council is run by monsters, and the local bakery might just change your fate.
Daisy Flowers never planned to stay.
A human from neighboring Thistlebrook, Daisy only came to Blackthorn Bay for a temporary apprenticeship at Hex & Honey, the town’s beloved enchanted bakery where love potion danishes, lucky scones, and heartbreak brownies fly off the shelves daily. But somewhere between the sea salt air, the magic-soaked streets, and the people who make her feel seen for the first time in her life… Blackthorn Bay begins to feel like home.
Then she meets Dr. Enoch Infernalis.
Elegant. Calm. Dangerously handsome. Enoch is Blackthorn Bay’s resident demon psychiatrist, known for helping everyone from anxious vampires to feuding witches work through their supernatural baggage. He’s patient, perceptive, and entirely off-limits.
Especially after Daisy jokingly suggests becoming his patient.
Enoch refuses immediately. Dating a patient would be unethical.
Taking her to dinner instead?
Far more complicated.
What begins as harmless advice quickly becomes stolen evenings, undeniable chemistry, and a romance neither of them expected. But when Daisy’s deeply anti-monster parents demand she return home to Thistlebrook, Daisy must decide where she truly belongs.
Because leaving Blackthorn Bay would mean leaving behind the life she’s always wanted… and the demon who’s slowly stealing her heart.
Welcome to Blackthorn Bay, where the pastries are magical, the monsters are charming, and falling in love can be absolutely infernal.
Daisy has come to Blackthorn Bay to enhance her pastry skills by working at the bakery even knowing that her family doesn’t agree that she should be living in a town that includes paranormal residents. She is drawn to Enoch, who is a demon and the town’s psychiatrist, and she sees the man who is always there for everyone else and doesn’t allow anyone to be there for him.
Enoch doesn’t allow anyone close but with one baked treat at a time Daisy has worked her way beyond his walls and shown him not only how empty his life without her was but that he deserves the happy life they could have together.
This is a sweet and steamy romance and the small-town setting, especially the focus on the bakery, only make it more appealing. Both Daisy and Enoch were looking for their place in life and found it in each other.
To make the splash I need, I have to sell the team’s most complicated story: hometown catcher Jake McKinney and his estranged, all-star father, Roddy. Only problem? Just because they’re teammates now doesn’t mean they’re talking.

Do I stay the course and protect my future, or risk it all for a love I never saw coming?
My whole life, I’ve chased women, thrills, and anything that keeps things uncomplicated.
Commitment? Not my style.
Except for Amy. My best friend is the only woman who’s ever been completely off-limits. She’s the one person who’s kept me grounded since the days when my bank account barely covered rent.
The one woman I’ve secretly wanted for years… but never touched.
But after a minor car crash reminds me how quickly life can change, waiting suddenly feels like the worst mistake.
So when Amy asks me to chaperone a school field trip and inspire her students with stories from my career, I say yes without hesitation. Any excuse to spend more time with her.
But the trip doesn’t go as planned. A freak accident leaves us stranded in a small town overnight.
Just the two of us.
One hotel room.
Years of tension finally snapping.
One reckless kiss turns into an unforgettable night.
Falling for my best friend might be the most dangerous move I’ve ever made…
But once I have her in my bed, there’s no way I’m letting her walk away.
I ride bulls for a living—chasing buckles, eight seconds at a time. It’s the only thing I’ve ever been good at. Tough. Disciplined. Built for the dirt and the danger. When I’m not on the road, I’m back home in Wildhaven, Wyoming, putting in work at the Raintree-Storm Rodeo Academy — training the next generation on my family’s land.

Because Cabe never stopped loving her.

Except the longer she’s here, the harder it gets to stay on my side of that line.
And I’m starting to realize that eight seconds on the back of a bull is nothing compared to trying to hold on to my self-control around Jovie Asbury.
I knew falling for Evangeline Carrington would ruin everything.
I just didn’t know how fast.
She was my twin brother’s girlfriend in college.
But I’d wanted her first.
Gorgeous, sharp-tongued, impossible to ignore, Evangeline is the kind of woman you never really forget. And when I run into her at a teammate’s wedding years later, one dance turns into too many drinks … and one reckless night neither of us can take back.
I try putting distance between us again, but that becomes impossible once Evangeline starts covering my team as a field producer. She’s determined to prove she earned her place, and keeping us a secret is the only way to protect the career she’s fought for.
And I want to keep us a secret because my brother wants her back.
But secrets like ours were never built to survive.
Not with cameras following her every move, looking for a scandal.
Not with my brother suddenly showing up at my games and making a play for my girl.
And definitely not when every stolen touch between us feels less like a mistake … and more like something neither of us is willing to give up.
Because the deeper I fall for Evangeline, the more impossible the decision becomes—choosing my family … or the woman I think was always meant to be mine.

A bell jingled on the door to announce his entrance, and from somewhere in the back he heard a voice say, “Be right with you.” Everything was neat and tidy. There were plenty of garden chemicals, brightly-colored ceramic pots, and bags of different kinds of soils and soil additives. Stepping around the end of an aisle, he found himself right at the counter and there, behind it, was Gina.
“Hey! You’re Gina, right?”
She gave him the side-eye. “Yes.”
“I’m Kyle!” He held out his hand, but she just stood there. “Kyle. You know, Kyle. I said I’d be here today.”
“Okay. Did you have an order to pick up or …”
“No. Kyle. You know, from the site? I’m a farmer? I have a daughter?” Holy shit, did she do this so much that she had him confused with somebody else?
“I’m sorry. I don’t understand. You know my name but—”
“Here. Lunch. Let me go get the drinks and …” The woman who’d just bustled into the space behind the counter looked up and her eyebrows flew upward. “Kyle!”
What the hell is going on here? he wanted to scream. “Yes. I’m Kyle. Do I know you?”
“My name is, uh, I’m Sabrina, and this is my sister, Gina.”
“We’ve met,” the first woman said gruffly.
“Yes. But there seems to be some confusion,” Kyle said.
Sabrina glanced from Kyle to Gina and back to Kyle. “I’m sorry. I thought you’d get here later. I probably should’ve—”
Gina wheeled on her sister. “You didn’t.”
“Look, you really need to—”
Gina’s face was bloodred. “I can’t believe you’ve done this! How dare you! You had no right to—”
“You need to get out and meet people, Gina! Please don’t be mad! I just—”
“You just what? Hijacked my life? What did you do? Put a profile up on one of those dating websites?”
Uh-oh. Fuck me. I need to find a way to get out of this. Kyle couldn’t believe it. How unfuckingbelievably awkward. “I should just—”
“Not really what? Mad? Sabrina, I swear to god, I should—”
“Um, I think I’ll just be going,” Kyle said in barely more than a whisper as he started backing toward the entrance.
“Gina, don’t do this! He’s a nice guy! You should—”
“I should have a sister who stays out of my business! That’s what I should do! I can’t believe you …”
Kyle didn’t hear the rest. He took off out the door as fast as he could go. I’m done with this.Never again, he told himself as he neared the truck. Just as he opened the door, he heard someone yell, “Kyle!”
I’m going to chew this bitch out for setting me up this way, he told himself as he turned, but he got a big surprise.
It wasn’t Sabrina; it was Gina. “Kyle, please. Hold up.”

She thinks he’s arrogant. He thinks she’s judgmental.
Neither one of them can stay away from each other.
Rule number one of being a sports journalist. Never get too close to the players.
Rule number two. Oops, too late.
Nate Sandler is the franchise quarterback for the Harbor Bay Hawks. He is confident, infuriating, and way too charming for his own good.
I’ve made it my job to ask tough questions, while he’s built a reputation of dodging them. Every time we are in the same room, the interviews turn into verbal sparring matches.
Especially when he makes a point to call me sweetheart in front of my peers. I should hate it. Instead, my pulse spikes for all the wrong reasons.
To top it all off, my boss assigns me to an exclusive interview with the same man who hates the press as much as he does losing. For the sake of my career, I can’t exactly turn it down. How hard can it be? It’s only a few weeks after all.
Well, the joke is on me because this isn’t as simple as I thought.
Not when every smirk feels like a challenge and every touch feels like a dare. Instead of keeping things professional, I’m breaking every rule and boundary I set for myself.
Now the closer I get, the more I realize Nate is not the man I thought he was. And that’s a problem, because I’m falling for the one man who could derail my career with a single headline.
If I’m not careful, the story I’ve been chasing might not just cost me my career, but my heart too.
