About IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA (Coming 3/3/2026):

He ghosted me once, now he’s supposed to protect me?

I don’t need a bodyguard—I run a small-town lavender farm, for bee’s sake. But when my identical twin sister lands the movie role of a lifetime that’s being shot in my hometown I get one anyway.

And guess which broody, tattooed protector the studio sends to keep the paparazzi off my porch?

Last month’s almost one-night stand.

The guy with the wicked mouth and heated eyes who slipped out before the fun even started. But turns out the sexy jerk is excellent at rescuing me from sneaky photographers at the market. Then the coffee shop. I’m trying hard to stay mad after the third time my new bodyguard saves me.

To top it all off, he’s staying in the cottage at my farm. With me. And there’s only one bed.

Maybe if we finally give in and finish what we started, it’ll relieve the tension? But one night quickly turns into another. Then into late-night secrets and soft confessions we shouldn’t say out loud. Especially since he’s leaving and I’m staying, and there’s no way we can be more than a summer romance that ends far too soon.

Escape into a spicy and hilarious forbidden small town rom com from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely!

Blurb

Never fuel a spark

When the last match dropped, I thought it was over.

But obsession is a dirty player in a corrupt game…

And a made man never takes without consequence.

The moment I crossed that line, free will became a bargaining chip.

One that chained Becca to everything I fought to keep her from.

Bending my promise into a vow was supposed to protect her.

However, vengeance is a wicked temptress.

She seduces lies from the honest…

Twists saints into sinners…

And turns an uptight psychiatrist into a killer.

The past has risen, and war is coming for us…

A hailstorm of bullets and blades dripping with debt.

I’ll burn this city to the ground and paint the streets red…

But it’s my queen they should all fear.

A tortured heart may be dangerous…

But a tormented one is deadly.

Kara Kendrick has revealed the covers for Bad Boy Breakaway!

Releasing: April 2, 2026

Cover Designer: Emily Wittig Designs

Photographer: Cadwallader Photography, LLC

Model: Trevor Brachtenbach

He’s the benched bad boy hockey player. She’s the team owner’s daughter—and his new babysitter.

I’m the bad boy of hockey. I score goals—and make headlines. My latest fight bought me a three-game suspension and a brand-new babysitter.

Tori Prince.

Ice Queen, hedge fund shark—and the team owner’s daughter.

Now we’re neighbors and she runs my life like a hostile takeover: no partying, a strict curfew, mandatory sessions with the team’s psychologist. Smile for the cameras. Stay out of trouble. Don’t give her father’s franchise another reason to regret keeping me.

One more screw-up and I lose my contract.

Pissed off, I push back. Hard.

Except Tori doesn’t flinch. She’s all perfect curves and ruthless self-control—and I may have finally met my match.

Which only makes me want to undo her more.

Every glare she gives me feels like a dare, and the closer she stands, the harder it is to remember why we can’t cross the line.

Then we do.

One kiss turns into her hands fisting my jersey, her panties on my floor, the rules between us shattered.

And if our secret leaks? I’m off the roster, she’s Wall Street’s punchline, and the Coastal Crushers get scorched by the fallout.

RAFA

I’m the ghost in the machine—the underboss who codes empires into oblivion and erases enemies with a keystroke.

Freedom was my endgame. A clean exit from the Rosso blood I never chose.

Until Vito hands me Kira Petrov like a loaded gun: Bratva heiress, cyber siren, and the one woman engineered to crack my firewalls.

She’s not just my arranged bride. She’s chaos in code—brilliant, unbreakable, and hacking straight into the voids I buried deep.

I built my escape to outrun this life.

But every line she writes… I want to rewrite with her.

Even if it means burning us both.

KIRA

I was born in shadows, wielding algorithms like blades for a family that trades daughters for empires.

The Rosso marriage? It’s my Trojan horse—access to their secrets, proof of their betrayal, and a backdoor to the freedom I’ve coded in the dark.

Rafa Rosso should be my mark: MIT ghost, digital devil, the enemy heir who thinks he can cage me in silk and vows.

But his touch decrypts me. His gaze sees the fractures I hide.

He’s not my savior. He’s the virus I can’t purge.

I came to dismantle his world.

What if I let him rebuild mine instead?

SOFIYA

I remember the desert. The blood. The men who left me to die.

My name is Sofiya. Ten years ago, I was a fifteen-year-old girl they tortured and abandoned in the sand. I’ve spent every day since becoming a weapon. Every smile is a lie. Every dance at the club they own brings me closer to the men who destroyed me.

They don’t recognize me.

Except him.

Volk. The Pakhan’s second-in-command. The man who drove me into that desert. He knows I am the ghost he failed to kill, the girl whose screams still echo in his nightmares, the revenge he’s been waiting for.

He should end me. Instead, he kisses me in the dark with a passion that rivals my hatred.

VOLK

Her name was Yelena when I left her bleeding in the desert.

For ten years, that night has haunted every dream. Now she’s back, calling herself Sofiya, dancing at our club, and I’m the only one who sees through the disguise.

I should tell the Pakhan. Put a bullet in her before she destroys everything.

But I’m going to help her do it instead.

Because she deserves her revenge. Because the Pakhan is a monster who lost sight of what his leadership should be. Because when I look at her, I don’t see the weapon she’s become—I see the girl I left with a single choice, and the woman who’s going to set us both free or kill us trying.

Two broken people. One brutal revenge. Secrets that could shatter everything.

In a world built on blood and loyalty, we’re about to burn it all down—together.

Clean eating never tasted so deadly.

Willowby’s Autumn Wellness Fair promises green juices, yoga sessions, and fresh beginnings. When Liam Carter, the charismatic owner of Glow Juicery and self-proclaimed smoothie guru, collapses after toasting his own signature blend, the wholesome event turns toxic. At first, everyone assumes an allergic reaction. Then the coroner confirms poison.

Suspicion quickly falls on Glow’s competitors. Tamsin Blake’s Velvet Scone Café has been struggling ever since Glow opened, and her new Autumn Glow menu is drawing side-eye from wellness enthusiasts who believe she is trying to profit from tragedy. Determined to protect her café and her reputation, Tamsin begins investigating.

She soon learns that Liam built his business on stolen recipes, poached staff, sabotage, and charm that turned sour. Marina Jones, an herbalist betrayed by Liam, appears to be the prime suspect. But others have reasons to want Liam gone, including his angry ex-girlfriend, a critical local doctor, a furious mother, and even Tamsin’s own cousin who worked at Glow.

With help from Inspector Crumpet the parrot, Professor Pembroke the Maine Coon, and her loyal friends, Tamsin follows a trail of mislabeled powders, shady wellness products, and fake health claims.

WHISKEY, WORDS, AND WHISPERS by @sawyerbennett123 releasing February 24! 

#PreOrderHere : https://geni.us/SB_Whiskey

The fabric of Sam’s T-shirt is bunched in my fists and I don’t want this kiss to break. I mean… who needs oxygen anyway? 

“Penny…,” he warns. He’s thinking the same as me. This feels like it’s getting ready to become very dangerous between us.

“Stop thinking,” I whisper against his mouth. “Just feel.”

“Oh, I’m feeling, all right,” he mutters before his mouth captures mine again in a bruising kiss.

I swing a leg over his lap and straddle him, putting us face-to-face. Sam groans, his hands catching me at my hips like he means to stop me. For one long heartbeat, he holds me there, breathing hard, caught somewhere between don’t and please. Then his grip shifts from resistance to permission, as he leans back just enough to make room for me.

The couch creaks as I shift, knees on either side of his hips, and he makes a rough sound at the back of his throat that goes straight through me.

“Penny, I’m not gonna lie… you straddling my lap has my brain close to short-circuiting and I’d be a fool to tell you to stop. But… I’m going to tell you to think about it.”

“I know what I’m doing,” I whisper, not sure which part I’m agreeing to—go slower, don’t spook him, keep kissing him until we both forget our names. Maybe all three.

My grip on his shoulders, I lower my head so my mouth can meet his. Sam’s hands hesitate at my waist like he’s afraid of being greedy, then settle there, fingers splayed, both reverent and possessive in the same beat. 

His mouth moves over my jaw, down the line of my neck, where his teeth scrape deliciously against my tender skin. His fingers flex into my hips, pushing me down to feel every inch of him. He pins me there, head pulling back slightly to stare at me. 

“Tell me to stop,” he says, “and I will.”

I circle my hips, creating friction between our bodies that almost makes me lose any shred of restraint I have. “Tell me to stop, and I absolutely won’t.”

Matteo

Daniella is my best friend’s younger sister—sweet, innocent Little Russo—and the one woman I should stay away from.

But when she unknowingly marries a man who’s out to destroy her family, she lands herself in danger she can’t escape, and I’m the only one who can protect her.

My first mistake? Insisting she move in with me.

Because the more time I spend with Daniella, the more the light threatens to break through my darkness, making me want things I’ve rejected for most of my life.

I should reject her too. Keep her away from me as much as from him.

That’s the problem with our arrangement though …

Her husband is bad.

Me? I’m worse.

I’m rough, ruthless, and nothing close to what she deserves. I can’t give her the white picket fence she desires.

But she doesn’t see the blood on my hands, or that I’m not husband or father material.

All she sees is the man who’ll burn down the world to save her.

Blurb:

I devoted my life to Project Oryx. As a geneticist, I told myself it was about discovery, about pushing the boundaries of what life could become. I never expected my greatest creation to change me in return. What began as an obsession blurred into something far more dangerous and profound—an attachment I couldn’t explain away with logic, an unconventional love that rewrote everything I thought I knew.

When militaries set their sights on Oryx as the ultimate weapon and intergalactic coalitions hunted us to steal what I’d created, we became fugitives overnight. Bounties followed us from system to system, and every encounter reminded me that the universe measures worth in power and conquest. Yet in the midst of pursuit and fear, we found something rarer than victory. We found trust. We found family. And as the walls closed in, I realized we weren’t just fighting to survive—we were fighting for our right to remain human, and for a love strong enough to change the course of everything.

A slow-burn sci-fi space opera inspired by Frankenstein and Flowers for Algernon, dusted with a glimmer of The Wizard of Oz—where the Monster isn’t destroyed, loves, and finally finds home.

**This book is part of the multi-author Blood & Stardust series, which reimagines classic monsters in outer space. Each instalment can be enjoyed as a standalone story.

Darkness threatens to consume him, but nothing will stop him from keeping her safe….

Ricochet:

All it takes is one glance and I know Jordan is going to be mine.

Her sweet smile and infectious energy make me feel alive again.

She chases away the shadows, giving me a reason to continue on.

But just as I’m beginning to win the elusive beauty over trouble comes for my family.

I may be a veteran with PTSD and a member of a notorious motorcycle club, but both have given me skills that allow me to address any threat and win.

I refuse to let my past dictate my future, and convincing Jordan to trust me is a matter of life and death.

Jordan:

From the first moment that Ricochet and I meet, I know he’s trouble.

The sexy biker has a dangerous and mysterious past that scares me.

I’ve been down this road before with my violent ex and I’m not sure I can do it again.

As I get to know him, I realize he’s more than just a biker with a tough exterior.

Can I trust my own heart even though it’s led me astray before?

When danger comes, I find myself trapped in the crossfire. His past catching up with him is everything I’ve been afraid of, and I’m not sure what to do.

I know deep down that Ricochet will do anything to protect me, but can I learn to trust him even though I’ve been burned in the past?

🔥Billionaire Hero

🥃Small Town Romance

🔥Opposites Attract

🥃Protective Hero

🔥Forced Proximity

🥃Secret Past

🔥Leaving It All Behind for Love

🥃Danger Lurking

Small towns aren’t meant for billionaire Movie Stars, but somehow, Sutton Silvers fits right in. I know I should ignore him, the diner regular with his easy charm and quiet intensity. He belongs to another world, one of flashing cameras, billion-dollar contracts, and fake Hollywood smiles. I belong here, in the safety of routine. In the safety of Whispers.

But Sutton sees through the walls I’ve built, through the secret past I keep hidden. He should walk away, just like I should guard my heart. But there’s something about him, the way he looks at me like I’m worth the risk, that has me wanting more.

I know better than to dream of a future with a man like him. And yet, when danger starts creeping closer, he’s the one stepping in, refusing to let me face it alone. He has a choice to leave Hollywood behind or risk it all for the chance that I’m his forever.

And me? I have a choice too.

Run again. Or finally let someone catch me.
