Brigid Donovan has found some of her Fae magic, but some is still missing. Her new boyfriend doesn’t remember who she is, and the witch coven still wants to take everything from her.
Her call for help brought her human best friend, but she hasn’t any magic—although she makes up for it with enthusiasm.
To get her stolen magic back, Brigid’s going to have to master the magic she does have. Putting out a call to her Fae great-grandfather could be the best idea yet, or it could be the worst. The Fae aren’t known for their compassion.
Oh, and side note, unicorns are real dicks.
Together with her protector Mr. Mittens, Megan, her bestie, and the local werewolf pack, can Brigid defeat the witches, save the boy, and finish the house?
It remains to be seen, but when the confrontation occurs, something awful goes wrong and the worst thing you can imagine occurs.

No names. No details. No having to call her in the morning.
I thought I could at least get that part right, but as always, trouble manages to find me wherever I go.
Landing back in Stoney Creek, the town I grew up in and the place I can’t escape, I never expected to run into her again.
Turns out the woman of my dreams is my new divorce attorney.
Hartley Chambers isn’t just beautiful and smart. She’s also ten years younger than me and trying to prove herself in the family business. That’s something I know all about.
Born into the Bassett Brothers Bourbon Distillery, Stoney Creek’s very own pride and joy, and the heart and soul of a small town Tennessee family business.
But now I’m faced with a dilemma. Do I fire her and be the man everyone thinks I am? Or do I let her handle everything and pretend what we did never happened?
I vowed to never give my heart away again. But that all changes when Hartley and I play a dangerous game that only we know how to play.
Getting involved with my attorney could ruin everything.
Especially since my parents are retiring and that puts me directly in the seat of CEO. A position my younger brother Gabriel has been working for his entire life.
With our family feud at breaking point and my biggest secret about to be unearthed, I find myself turning to the one woman I know I should stay away from…. Hartley Chambers, and she may just have the power to ruin me for good.
Why you will love this book: 🔥Small Town 🔥Second Chance 🔥Best Friend’s Brother
I never keep secrets from my best friend, but I’m not sure how to tell her I’m sneaking around with her brother…who’s also my ex-husband.
I might be single, but I’m not ready to mingle. I should’ve stayed home from the street dance. My feet are barely surviving the two-step and my dance partners are looking for dates while I’m only interested in forgetting the man I was once married to.
The night’s about to end with bruised toes and a rain storm when the guy who swept me off my feet years ago cuts in right before the downpour starts. Wilder Knight has always been the best dance partner I’ve ever had. Just not the best husband.
Once the storm hits, we take refuge in his pickup, but that isn’t all we do. After steaming up the windows and losing my underwear, I make a habit out of hooking up with my ex-husband.
Only the longer we continue, the easier it is to see why our marriage fell apart. I couldn’t get over him the first time and losing him a second time might destroy the secure life I’ve built for myself, leaving me to ask… Were we better left an unfinished memory?
Tropes: Small Town/Billionaire/Brother’s Best Friend
Release Date: January 25, 2024
BLURB
People in this small town are whispering…
What they’re saying is that the billionaire is back and he’s going after his best friend’s sister.
What I’m trying to do is help Claire Sweeney’s bakery business.
What I haven’t been able to admit to myself is that in all this time, no matter how hard I tried, I never forgot her.
Now she’s all grown up. I can’t stop thinking about her muffin. Or how guilty I feel when I fantasize about buttering it.
Claire has always been as much a part of Beacon Harbor as the hanging flower baskets, the boat tours, and the lobster races. She has no idea how beautiful I think she is. Even when she has flour on her face. Even when she’s rolling her eyes at me.
I’ve got her brother’s approval, but now it’s Claire that I really have to convince.
She doesn’t believe we have the right ingredients for a real relationship—so she only agrees to pretend to be my girlfriend to help me close a deal in New York.
I believe she’s about to discover exactly how I roll when I know what I want.

He is excited to now create those stories as an author.
My career is over. One stupid game play and I’m left with bad knees and a scrambled brain. And don’t get me started on my personal life, it was already in the toilet.

We’ve done it. KAW is now the proud owner of the national league’s newest hockey franchise. I’ve got my signature on the dotted line to prove it. Now we build the team. First step is getting a head coach and like most things in my life I get one. But Walker Alcott came with something else. Something I never saw coming. Matching wedding rings.
♦ ♦ ♦
🏒Review🏒
Walker has dedicated his life to playing hockey until an injury ended his career and he isn’t certain where he goes from here. When he meets Oakley, the sparks fly, and he wants so much more than the career opportunity she is offering him.
Oakley and her best friends/business partners have dreams for the future, and they believe that Walker is the man who can help them achieve them. When she approached him, it was to offer him a job but the more time she spends with him she realizes that would never be enough.
The characters of Walker and Oakley draw you in and their story includes a great combination of romance, drama and surprises that are sure to entertain. This is a great start to a new series that leaves you wanting more.

Rhian Cahill is the alter ego of a former stay-at-home mother of four. With motherly duties rapidly dwindling, Rhian is able to make use of the fertile imagination she used to keep herself sane for all those years of slavery. Years spent living overseas and visiting tropical climates have helped inspire some steamy stories.
Multi-published in erotic romance, paranormal romance, and contemporary romance, Rhian, with the help of Mr. Muse, spends her days and nights writing.
When not glued to the keyboard you’ll find her, book or knitting in hand, avoiding any and all housework as much as possible.
He proposed . . . and I said yes. Normally a jovial occasion for a couple in love, but this proposal has a very different feel. Because the man that I’ll be calling my husband blew into town with one thing on his mind . . . to make my life a living nightmare.
So why did I say yes?
Well, because we both need something from each other.
Namely, I want the farm land he currently owns, and he needs a wife in order to inherit his family cabin in his grandfather’s will.
So as he so eloquently put it, my hand, for his land.
At first, I thought the idea was nuts. Who really gets married out of convenience? Apparently, I do.
And now we have to sell our relationship to the town. Meaning, we’re holding hands, he’s pinching my cheeks . . . upper and lower. We’re even forced to share the one-bedroom guest house on the farm where his monstrous body is taking up a large percentage of the bed.
But we’re so persuasive about our farse, that now I’m starting to think he actually might like me. Especially when he grabs me by the wrist and teases the shell of my ear as he whispers, “Mine.”
I peek a look over at Wyatt, and he does the same. When our eyes meet, he keeps them locked for a few seconds before they drop to my mouth and back up again.
I do the same.
And when our eyes lock, I can feel it, this electric energy bouncing between us. It’s worrisome but also exciting. It shouldn’t be happening, but oh my God, I can’t stop myself from leaning into him, letting him touch me, stare at me, and make me feel unlike anything I’ve felt before.
He was right. I avoided him for a reason today, and that was because I felt something. Something toward him. Something I shouldn’t be feeling, but I can’t help.
I’ve grown accustomed to having him around.
I look forward to him holding me at night.
And I crave his witty comebacks that provoke an eye roll from me.
But tonight, tonight it feels different, and I don’t know why.
Tonight, it feels like something’s going to happen. Someone will break, and I just hope it’s not me.
Stella Hunter and Aaron Shedlock narrate in duet this sexy, marriage of convenience romance. THE REASON I MARRIED HIM will be released on February 6th in a live release on Audible!

How do we determine the difference between virtuous and immoral?
I found myself asking this over and over as I lay awake at night contemplating the consequences of one fatal mistake.
The lines are blurred between reality and my darkest desires while I fight the monsters in the shadows to protect the innocent around me.
Now I’m standing face-to-face with the three biggest monsters of all. Three devious, demented, and psychotic men who would do anything to see me break.
Ace Lennox, Theon Watson, and Blais Monroe are the definition of sinners.
A normal person would see them and run. I’m anything but normal.
Their torture and torment bring out the darkness looming under my skin. Wickedness I’ve been trying to keep locked away for years is threatening to escape.
If I let it consume me, there’s no turning back.
The only question is:
Do I fight to be a saint or do I accept that I was born to be a sinner?
Jessica and Troy’s exciting story continues in the second book of the HIDDEN SECRETS TRILOGY as passion and danger collide…
Despite Jess’s initial reluctance to get involved with ex-Marine Troy Carson, her friendship with him is growing to be something more. But love cannot exist without trust, and trust is something she can’t afford—not when she needs to cling to the secrets of her past.
Not when she’s hoping to be part of her daughter’s life again. Too much is at stake if the truth gets out.
As Jess tries to put the pieces of her life back together after being wrongfully imprisoned for the death of her abusive husband, she recognizes her past life in a new friend. Refusing to let history repeat itself, Jess is determined to get her friend away from the man who is abusing her.
But in doing so, Jess’s past is at risk of being revealed, costing her everything she holds dear: Troy. Her daughter. Her life…
The dual timeline book is the second novel in Hidden Secrets Trilogy. The books in the trilogy have to be read in order. All other books in the Carson Brother series are standalone.
Moving forward from her past is proving to be more difficult than Jessica expected as the emotional scars still remain. She battles between keeping her secrets and trusting Troy but when she realizes the predicament her friend is in it will bring both to a crescendo.
Troy is trying to be patient and understanding while he shows Jessica with both words and actions that she can trust him with her heart and her secrets. That is about to challenged when he realizes that she is only letting him so close before backing away and that is no longer enough.
Jessica and Troy’s story is both emotional and heartfelt as she tries to overcome her past while evolving into the woman she was always meant to be and the secondary romance from the past is just as compelling.
Meet Stina Lindenblatt
Born in Brighton England, USA Today bestselling author Stina Lindenblatt has lived in a number of countries, including England, the U.S., Finland, and Canada. This would explain her mixed up accent. She has a kinesiology degree and a MSc in sports biological sciences. In addition to writing fiction, she loves photography, and currently lives in Calgary, Canada, with her husband, three kids, and their adorable rescue cat.
They walk past her, ignore her, like she’s not even there
When all she ever wanted was someone to care
No one sees her until she steps into that cage
She flutters her wings and plays her part on a stage
She hides behind her mask and dances to their tune,
terrified of the day that her secrets will bloom
When the mask is ripped away, and they rage at the lie,
the Butterfly finally stops dancing
and will learn how to fly
Savy St. James is a sad lonely girl with too many secrets to count. She hides away in her oversized frumpy clothes and thick glasses wishing she was brave enough to be seen without her mask.
One small favor backfires and forces her into a fake date deal by the school’s hot shot quarterback. Him and his three best friends treat her like a pet to play with and are careless with her until she’s had enough and breaks the deal. But when her secrets are revealed and her masks are stripped away, they will all burn for it.
Tate Valor thinks this nerdy girl is the perfect choice to use as his shield keeping all the groupies and gold diggers off his back. Savy’s a built in tutor to help him drag his marks back up so he doesn’t get benched. He never expected the make out show he forces her to put on in public to affect him more than it does her.
Jude Dixon is the wild child, f**k boy of the team. His crazy antics that match his white blond hair, multiple piercings and slightly psycho personality couldn’t be any different from the shy little doll Tate’s brought into his orbit. He’s the first to see the treasure that she is and stakes his claim when he falls hard and fast for her even when she doesn’t want to be claimed.
Beckett James had his shot at going pro blown right along with his knee. With football no longer a choice, he’s lost and depressed. Savy’s sweet heart and peach smelling hair has more than his interest stirring. He wants to peel back the masks she hides under and see the real her.
Asher James doesn’t give a sh*t about the bookworm his friends are obsessing over. He only has one obsession, the Butterfly that dances in the cage for him. It doesn’t matter that she’s never spoken to him in two years. He wants her and only her…until Savy starts getting under his skin and he sees that maybe he’s been the one in the cage all along.
I’m a single dad, not the prodigal son. And that gorgeous, sunny blonde? She’s just an employee.
GABE:
When Dad needs help running our family resort at Calypso Key, I can’t say no. So I bring my daughter home to raise where I grew up. Except the resort is worse off than I expected. Still, I understand business. Women… not so much. And after my divorce, I don’t believe in love.
Then I meet new divemaster April Desmond.
She was hired before I came back. I have one job—to cut costs everywhere I can. I try to deny the attraction. After all, I might have to fire her. But that sheet of golden hair. Those sky-blue eyes.
The sparks become an inferno. We’re opposites in many ways. April is the sunshine to my grumpiness. But we agree on one thing—neither of us wants a serious relationship. We make a promise to keep things casual, and it works great.
Until one of us breaks our pact…
