From the author of the bestselling Broken Trilogy and Dark Water Series comes Embedded—the second book in Stonewall, the heart pounding action and suspense series, where brotherhood binds them, and passion drives them even in perilous times.

Nicole Winter has many facets—a war correspondent, a protector, a mother in all but blood.
But those are just titles.
Nicole’s relentless drive for the truth was forged in war zones and honed by years of experience. Her instincts catch the shifts others overlook, and what whispers now is clear— the Cartel is gathering strength, and war is coming. Once, she would have chased the story, but for the first time, she is in a position more dangerous than she has ever faced.
A secret.
A bond.
A betrayal.
Paul is recovering from his wounds, but the scars no one can see cut deepest. He can’t forgive Nicole for putting his son in the spotlight, yet the child he never claimed is bound to her. She’s a risk he can’t afford, yet the only one who can protect his future.
Fueled by vengeance and ambition, Bruno Perez’s recklessness gives Nicole the chance to do the unthinkable and return to the viper’s pit, even if it costs her life.
As the team closes in and loyalties fracture, the green light unleashes the unimaginable. Blood is shed in the most unlikely places, and no one is beyond the line of fire.

With my law degree and a life in New York, I convinced myself I’d moved on.

🩵Review🩵

It’s been a decade since Lucy left both her hometown and her husband when events tore them apart and she believed the only solution was divorce. She has returned out of duty to help her father however when her path crosses with Grudge it will not only force her to face what really happened in the past but the danger in the present as well.

Grudge is now the President of the Iron Outlaws and is not the man that Lucy used to know. Seeing her again brings up all the pain of the past however he soon realizes that there is a lot they don’t know about what happened and when he finds out she is being threatened he will do whatever is necessary to keep her safe.

Lucy and Grudge have always belonged together, and I enjoyed seeing them fight for their second chance. The suspense keeps you on edge, the surprises keep coming, the camaraderie between the members of the MC is heartwarming and despite the time and distance the love between Grudge and Lucy is stronger than ever.

AUTHOR BIO
Scarlett Cole is a contemporary romance author that calls both Toronto, Canada and Manchester, England home. A born city dweller, she periodically quashes the urge to live in the country by hiking up a mountain to remind herself that living away from people would terrify the pants off her.
She believes everybody deserves their love story to be told and loves her heroes on the rough and rugged side…and usually tall (because she married one of those 6ft 6” men you read about in romance books!). She’s an A-type personality and Scorpio star sign, so good luck getting her to do anything she doesn’t want to.
When she isn’t writing, she’s happy to talk about hot men and expensive shoes while drinking a cold gin and tonic. Don’t bring up olives. As far as Scarlett is concerned, they are the devil’s food. As long as you don’t bring up olives, she’s happy to hear from you any time.

She’s his biggest childhood dream. He’s her worst enemy. But nothing will keep them apart when the truth finally comes out.

Trystan

I’ve been in love with Chloe Walker since we were kids.

She’s always been the center of my world, the only thing I ever wanted. But I may be the only thing in the world she can’t stand.

I’d kill to claim and keep her. She’d kill to never see me again.

At least, until life gets complicated and she has nowhere to turn.

She didn’t expect to find me at her brother’s.

She never wanted to tell me the truth.

But now, it’s out there, and there’s no taking it back.

I don’t care what anyone says, I’m not letting her go.

Chloe

When my married boss sent me inappropriate texts, I told his wife.

I didn’t expect him to run straight to my parents to twist the story.

Now, I’m hiding out at my brother’s… and so is the man I’ve loved my entire life.

Trystan thinks he can tell me what to do, but I’ve never been one to listen.

I just want peace and quiet, not his drama.

Yet, he’s constantly in my space, saying all the things I’ve wanted to hear my whole life.

And I’m falling for him the same way I always have.

No one warned me that giving him every piece of my soul would feel like this, though.

Or that loving this hard would shake the foundations of both our worlds.

Can this really end happily for us, or are we destined to break everyone around us?

❤️Review

When Chloe finds herself in a difficult situation at work she needs some time to regroup before she tells her family.   Since her brother is away she decides to stay at his home not realizing that Trystan was pet sitting for him.   She has had feelings for Trystan since she was a teenager but doesn’t believe he seems the same way and has grown weary of his protectiveness.

Trystan has had feelings for Chloe since they were teenagers as well so even though he has good intentions it doesn’t always come across the best way.   When she arrives, he knows there is more going on then she is saying, and their forced proximity only confirms that denying their feelings for each other is no longer possible.

The chemistry between Chloe and Trystan is undeniable as they work through the misunderstandings of the past and realize what everyone else in their lives already know that they are destined to be together.

Avery Charles followed her boss to London, eager to help the philanthropist with his many charities. When she meets a mysterious man who promises to show her London’s fetish scene, she can’t help but indulge in her darkest fantasies. Liam becomes her Dom, her protector, her lover. She opens her heart and her home to him, only to discover he’s a man on a mission and she’s just a means to an end.

🎧Review🎧
Even though he may not remember the events of that fateful night he knows that he isn’t guilty of what he has been accused of. He has found a home within McKay Taggart and has been assigned to get close to Avery to see what he can uncover about the ties that she and her boss may have to an enemy of the team.

Everything that Avery has had to endure has only made her stronger and more resilient and she believes that her job is helping others. The life that she is living could be considered boring by some standards but when Liam comes into her life he shows her a side she didn’t realize she had but she is also about to find out that he has an agenda that will force her to rethink everything.

Suspense, surprises and steam all combine into an intriguing story you won’t be able to put down and it is always fun to catch up with the team. Ryan West does a wonderful job with the multi-faceted personalities of these characters, the enticing romance and the suspense part of the story that keeps you guessing.

About MERRY LITTLE KISSMAS (Coming 10/28/2025):

Wanted: A fresh shot at love for the holidays. But fake dating my brother’s grumpy best friend? He’s my new client, for Santa’s sake!

As a professional matchmaker, my biggest job this holiday season should be simple: find a date for the sexy single dad hockey playeraka my brother’s best friend—for his team’s fancy Christmas Eve gala. 

Sure Rowan’s hot as a crackling fire and spicier than a gingerbread man, but he hasn’t just sworn off romance. The Christmas hater has made a bet that I can’t find him a holidate.

What’s a matchmaker to do?

Win, of course. Even if it means fake dating the grinch myself to get him ready for the real thing.

Only…these fake dates at Christmas tree farms and hot cocoa competitions in the snowy small town of Evergreen Falls start to feel a little too real as I get to know the man behind the scowl. Somewhere between kisses under the mistletoe and a snowed-in night in his cabin curled up by the fire (where the stockings aren’t the only thing hung), I realize I’m in over my elf-loving head.

And when Rowan opens up to me at last about his painful past, I’m determined to give my brother’s best friend the holiday he deserves.

But what if the only gift I want him to unwrap this season is… me?

Tropes: Holiday romance, brother’s best friend, fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, small town, Christmas competition, matchmaker romance, workplace romance

Rebel Without A Claus 🎅 Available Now

She’s all sparkle and Christmas spirit.

He’s one grinchy cowboy.

Rebel Without a Claus, an all-new grumpy/sunshine, second chance, small town romance novella from USA Today bestselling author Katana Collins is now available!

Eve Winters lives for Christmas—the twinkling lights, the festive music, the over-the-top holiday magic. So when her parents need help running their Christmas-themed inn, she’s all in. The only problem? Luke Dawson—the town’s broody, flannel-wearing reindeer farmer who hates everything merry and bright. Unfortunately, he’s also the one providing the reindeer for the town’s biggest holiday festival, which means Eve is stuck working with Mr. Bah Humbug himself.

Luke has no patience for Christmas or the chaos that comes with it—especially when it involves Eve, the walking, talking embodiment of holiday cheer. He spent years trying to forget her, but now that she’s moved back to town—with her sharp tongue, city-girl attitude, and an unfortunate talent for getting stuck under mistletoe—forgetting her is impossible.

But between meddling townsfolk, mischievous reindeer, and a snowstorm that leaves them stranded together, Luke is starting to wonder if maybe Christmas—and Eve Winters—aren’t so bad after all.

She’s all sparkle and Christmas spirit. He’s one grinchy cowboy. But when the festive sparks turn into a full-blown holiday inferno, will this rebel without a claus surrender to the season’s greatest surprise—falling head over boots in love?

Releasing November 6, 2025

GUIDE TO LOVE (& CHRISTMAS) RULE #27: Make your list. Check it twice. Because Santa knows how naughty you’ve been. 

I haven’t written a letter to Santa since I was eight years old, but maybe this year I need to.  

Dear Santa, 

I promise, no matter what “he” told you, I’ve been good this year. 

I didn’t know he was my business rival when I slept with him. 

I didn’t know he hated me. Though, he didn’t know it either. 

And I didn’t know that we would get snowed-in together in the mountains. In one hotel room. With one bed. 

Anything that has been deemed naughty by the infuriatingly sexy man is accidental. 

But maybe look into him. You know. To check it twice and all.

Elizabeth O’Roark has revealed the cover for My Favorite Fake Romance!

Releasing: December 11, 2025

Faking it never felt this good.
Dr. Easton Walsh thought she’d be showing up to her best friend’s wedding with a dazzling ring and a fiancé everyone wanted to Instagram. Instead, her boyfriend dumped her over what was supposed to be a proposal dinner and the only man offering her a lifeline is the last one she’d ever choose: Elijah Cabot. Her best friend’s older brother. The guy who broke her heart once already.

He’ll help make her ex jealous…All she has to do is help him drive his grandmother across several states to the wedding. Easy.

But the fake relationship is starting to feel real, and the longer the trip goes on, the harder it is for Easton to remember that Boston—and her carefully built life—don’t include Elijah. Especially when her ex starts dangling threats that could derail her career if she doesn’t come back to him.

Now Easton has to decide: risk everything for a second chance at the one man she shouldn’t want…or keep playing it safe, even if it means losing the best thing that’s ever happened to her—again.

Blake

In high school, Dakota Jayne was my everything.

My life. My soul. The air I breathed. She was my light.

One day we were planning the rest of our life.

The next I was picking up the shattered pieces of my broken heart.

She abandoned me without looking back.

Had she glanced in the rearview, she would’ve seen me chasing after her through the dust cloud she stirred up when she hightailed it out of town.

Now, eleven years later, she’s back and creating havoc between my heart and mind.

I hate her. She’s still beautiful.

She left me. I still love her.

I wish she’d go back to wherever the hell she came from so I can get on with my life.

Dakota

Blake Helms was my life.

We had everything planned out.

That’s until he devastated me and broke my heart.

So, I packed up all the pieces and left for college, leaving everything I had ever known behind me.

I finished college, settled into my career, and tried to forget him.

Then my grandmother passed away, bringing me back to this god-forsaken town.

I despise this place and all of the memories.

I hate him. He’s still gorgeous.

He broke me. I don’t want to still love him.

Leaving the first time was hard but leaving the second time might just kill me.

Elizabeth

My brother was getting married.

At Christmas no less.

The holiday I hated the most.

Let me list all the reasons why this will be the worst season yet:

One would be my luggage not arriving.

Two would be being told I had to find somewhere else to sleep since my room was occupied by family members.

Oh, and now I am forced to stay with my brother’s best friend.

The man who broke my heart seven years ago.

Nate

My best friend was getting married.

I was happy for him.

Until I had to offer his sister my spare bedroom.

It’d be fine, two weeks and she’d be out of my hair.

But the thing with Elizabeth was that she pushed every single button I have.

She gets under my skin in the best ways.

All we have to do is survive the wedding and the holiday.

Then she’ll be gone yet again.

Unless maybe, just maybe, my wish of having her comes true.

🔥Standalone

Clay Barlowe’s NHL career ended the night his knee gave out. One torn ACL was bad enough. The second? Game over.

Now he’s the guy with a reputation—grumpy, stubborn, hotheaded. Every teammate would agree he’s impossible, and he hasn’t bothered to prove them wrong. Coaching might be his second chance…if he can avoid distractions and keep the rumors under wraps.

Which is why being snowed in with Tessa St. James is a temptation he can’t afford.

Their families spent every Christmas together. Everyone thought she’d grow up to marry Clay’s brother. No one knew her heart quietly belonged to Clay.

She’s sunshine, sugar cookies, and Christmas cheer. He’s a grinch, cold as ice, with more coal than candy canes.

When one stolen kiss under the mistletoe leads to one night tangled up by the fire, Tessa isn’t just snowed in… 

She’s stuck in the sin bin with the scrooge.

And this holiday season, the only thing at risk is her heart.

Bellamy
I watched my parents’ marriage crumble when my father chose football over family. His love for the game destroyed us. It’s why I loathe it. It’s also why I don’t trust easily.
So when I meet a handsome stranger at a hotel bar, we trade nothing but first names. I’m miles from home and I’ll never see him again.
Until I do. At a family event with my dad, he’s there—my mystery man from weeks ago. Only now, I know who he is: a football player on my father’s team. Which means I need to forget him… and his tight end.
Reid
The night I meet the dark-haired beauty at the bar, everything changes. We talk, laugh, and our connection is unlike anything I’ve ever felt. The next morning, she’s gone, leaving me with only her name.
I think I’ve lost her, until she walks into my stadium, standing right beside my coach. Fate hands me a second chance, and I’m not letting it slip.
To her, I’m just another football player. But I’ll prove to her that I’m not her father… I’m my own man. And my dream girl, she was meant to be mine.

🏈Review🏈

When Bellamy met Reid while attending a friend’s wedding there was an immediate connection, and they spent an unforgettable night together.   They didn’t share any personal information, and she left before he awoke with no expectation of seeing him again however fate had other ideas when their paths cross once again and realizes that he plays for the football team that her father coaches.

Reid is a professional football player and from the moment he meets Bellamy knows she is special, but she leaves before he has a chance to tell her.   When fate brings her back into his life he is determined to show her that he is the man she is meant to be with and isn’t about to let her walk out of his life a second time.

Due to her past Bellamy has one firm rule which is not to get involved with a football player.   With everything he does and says he shows her that a career doesn’t define him as a man and that he will guard her heart and the life they could have together.
