When you’ve lost literally everything but your own life, can you learn to be loved or will you give up fighting the negative voice in your head and finally lose yourself completely?
Nora Hart is twenty-four years old, but she’s lost everything, rebuilt her life, fought through grief and worse, all while managing to avoid the shifter world that broke her in the first place.
Despite her near death and struggle for survival all on her own, she’s done quite well and has created a pretty normal life for herself. Despite all that, fate isn’t done messing with her.
Her heart and soul aren’t ready to open up to new mates, and may never be, but fate has brought them into her life anyway, causing her to move across the country as she tries to deny her connections and keep some semblance of the life she’s created.
Not only that, but that little voice in her head begging for death is back stronger than ever, those from her past who broke her down are back for more, and now she’s being hunted by humans out to rid the world of shifters.
Will she be strong enough to get through all of this, to find herself again and have a happy life, or will her struggle finally come to an end?

💙Review💙 Jane is a single mother to her daughter Londyn who just wants to give her the best life that she can. Part of that is ensuring the success of her matchmaking business as even if love isn’t in her future she believes she can help others find it. An attempt to publicize her business may not have gone as planned but it does allow her to garner Jasper as a client.
Jasper is a professional football player who has been judged without people knowing him or his backstory. He is a good teammate, a loyal friend and close to his family. He has had feelings for Jane for a while, but they don’t seem to be reciprocated however signing up as a client and dating other women might just be the solution he needs.
Jane and Jasper were so much fun together from the humorous banter, the great chemistry and the fact that they have a lot more in common than they expected. Jasper just gets Jane, and he isn’t about to be deterred by her attitude or fears which will only make you love him more.
𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝑳𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝑴𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒐𝒆: 𝑨 𝑯𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒚, 𝑱𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒚, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒚 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔 𝑻𝒂𝒍𝒆 by Amber Kelly releases next weeek. We are thrilled to share this teaser with you!!
I am a ballet dancer from New York City, currently in Lake Mistletoe, Idaho, to perform as the Sugar Plum Fairy in The Nutcracker at the Sun Valley Ski Resort. After my breakup with my boyfriend, I needed a break from my fast-paced life. This quiet, snow-covered town seemed like the perfect escape. Staying at The Gingerbread Inn feels like stepping into a holiday postcard. However, what really catches me off guard is Dutch.
Dutch is the electrical engineer working on the sets, and he’s a single dad to Josie, an adorable little girl who loves ballet. As I bond with Josie, I find myself drawn to Dutch in a way I didn’t expect, and the life I left behind in Manhattan starts to feel distant. He’s a different kind of distraction. He’s not the type of guy I usually go for—he’s all flannel, muscle, and practicality. But there’s something about him that’s hard to ignore.
What starts as a hot holiday fling turns into something more, and I begin to wonder if small-town life, with its snow-covered streets and warm, welcoming people, is what I’ve been searching for. Maybe Lake Mistletoe isn’t just a temporary stop but the beginning of my second chance at love.
A YOUNG MAN DISAPPEARS in the California gold country. He leaves behind a gold-flecked rock and a vial of toxic mercury. He is a misfit in the modern world, a throwback to Gold Rush days.
A hotshot venture capitalist—whose gold country is Silicon Valley—hires forensic geologists Cassie Oldfield and Walter Shaws to track his missing brother.
The geologists are hooked by the story of this lost man, this wounded soul. And they have the skills to find him. It’s what they do: view a rock under the microscope and unravel a mystery. Solve a crime. Prevent a crisis. Find a missing person.
Joined by their edgy client, Cassie and Walter track the mineral clues deep into the wilderness. Their journey soon turns harrowing, plunging into the dark history of the legendary lands, into the dark past of the brothers, into a poisonous sibling feud that threatens both lives and the land.
And they are not the only ones on the hunt.
All books in the series are standalone novels and can be enjoyed in any order.
Dog trainer and handler, Jillian Lederman, is moving with her pack to Libby, Montana, a place where she has made friends and hopes to find a fresh start. It’s time. For years, she’s just been keeping her wounds fresh by staying in Missoula—where there were regular reminders of all she’s lost—while the rest of the world has continued to move forward.
Perhaps the new house, the beautiful mountains, and a certain pair of clear, blue eyes hold the promise of new beginnings.
Since changing careers years ago, former FBI agent Lucas Wolff has found a much better work-life balance as a member of High Mountain Trackers. Still able to serve his community, he has also been carving out a comfortable existence for himself and is not looking to make any changes to it anytime soon. Not even for a particular bold and ballsy redhead he’s been trying to avoid.
That turns out to be an impossible feat when a plane crash during a blizzard sets both of them on the trail of a young girl, all alone in the mountains. But it soon becomes evident they are not the only ones looking, and staying safe means sticking close together.
“Oh, Jillian, I’d like you to meet my son, Lucas.” I meet those pretty green eyes, now sparkling with amusement. Of course a dog named Peanut would belong to this woman. She named her cadaver dog, Emo, after all. Hell, I knew she recently moved to the area—Sloane mentioned it more than once—but I wasn’t expecting to run into her at my mother’s assisted-living home. That’s a little too close for comfort. “So you do have a first name; Lucas, huh?” “You already know each other?” Mom looks back and forth between us. “We do. How are you doing, Jillian?” She adjusts the small furball she’s holding in her arms. “Good, thanks.” I turn to my mother to explain, “Jillian and I met working on a search last summer.” Despite my immediate attempt to identify our connection as a professional one only, I see Mom’s mind already at work behind the gleam in her eyes. Great.
❖Review❖
After leaving the FBI Lucas has returned to his hometown and joined the High Mountain Trackers. He believed that he was content being single until Jillian comes into his life. Those feelings only grow stronger when he and Jillian work together to help rescue a missing child.
Jillian moved to town to try and distance herself from the pain of her past. She has her dogs for company and doesn’t believe she is ready to open her heart to love. As she and Lucas spend time together on a search, she sees the loyal and protective man he is as he helps her heal from what she has been through.
Suspense, action and romance combine into an adventurous story that you won’t be able to put down as Jillian and Lucas fight for the happiness they both deserve.

It was supposed to be one night to feel alive after getting out of a dud of a relationship. Now I’m having a baby, and I only have the soon-to-be dad’s first name.
After my breakup, I need to find a job and place to live, but I can’t move into the house my grandma left me unless I’m married. Fortunately, the guy renting the place doesn’t know that, so I stop by and find out if he can move at the end of his lease.
Only when the door opens, it’s him. My one-night stand. I do the only reasonable thing possible. I tell him we’re going to have a baby and promptly puke over the railing of the porch. Next thing I know, I’m on his couch, and he’s demanding a paternity test.
Except he doesn’t just want the test. He wants to make sure I don’t tamper with the results. He doesn’t believe me. Apparently showing up jobless and homeless to persuade him to move doesn’t make me trustworthy. Guess I’m not the only one with a dating history that leaves me jaded.
He insists I stay in the house that should be mine, right where he can monitor me. And the longer I’m around him, the more I can see that below his gruff exterior is a softie who planted acres of pumpkins for his cousin. A guy who wants to reconnect with his family. A man who makes me want to be more to him than violet promises.
✨TEASER: GROUCH-ISH by @lbdunbarwrites releasing November 19th! #PreOrderNow https://a.co/d/55DnlRm
Why you need to #ONECLICK this book… 🎄silver fox 🔥single dad 🎄fireman x boss’s daughter 🔥snowed-in 🎄holiday romance
Let’s start here. The twelve days of Christmas are actually after the holiday.
And my dad, being the great guy he is, and the fire department’s battalion chief, signs up one of his rebellious firefighters for a retreat because of his bad behavior.
The guy is a total grouch.
But when the grumpy silver fox misses the bus for the adult redemption camp, Dad sticks him with me for twelve days.
Alone.
So, on the dozen days some mysterious true love—which I have yet to experience—should be bringing me gifts, like French hens and golden rings, I’m in charge of this firebird on our pear farm. Being the city man he is, he doesn’t have a clue how to can fruit, mend fences, or milk cows.
But he knows how to kiss . . .
Not that we should be doing such a thing. Only his silver beard is sexy, and his crooked smile kind of sweet. He has this alpha energy vibrating around his well-honed body but underneath the grumpy exterior is a man lonely for something more in his life, like me.
And instead of gifting each other random birds, leaping lords, and piping pipers, the gift we give one another is time . . . and our bodies.
But what about our hearts?
Maybe true love will strike after all.
A lot can happen in twelve days.

with him, Evan suspects there’s more to the woman than she’s letting on. She’s
hiding something. The question is what.
As Evan and Marlie unearth a cult targeting runaways, they’re forced to

more children disappear, they’ll have to risk more than just their hearts.
