SHADOW OF SIN
Kristen Luciani
Release Date: August 13

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

A standalone dark mafia romance where a wrongly convicted hacker heroine meets her match — an obsessed, neurodivergent tech genius who’s been watching her for two years.

I went to prison for a crime I didn’t commit.

Fourteen months behind bars because I trusted the wrong man. When I got out, I swore I’d never make that mistake again.

Then a Russian gangster turned my brother Sal into leverage and gave me a choice: hack for him, or watch Sal pay the price.

So I became a ghost. The best in the city. Untraceable. Untouchable. Invisible.

Until I broke into the wrong network and discovered someone had already been inside mine.

His name is Wolfe Molloy. He’s the tech genius behind Boston’s most powerful Irish crime family. He’s quiet, intense, and brutally intelligent. He doesn’t do small talk. He doesn’t do charm. He eats cereal for dinner and forgets to sleep and his brain never, ever shuts off.

Except when he’s near me.

There’s just one problem.

He’s been watching me for two years. He knows my real name, my aliases, my conviction, and every move I’ve made since I walked out of that prison. He says he wants to protect me and my brother. He says he needs my skills to take down the man who controls my life.

What he’s not saying is what scares me.

Because Wolfe Molloy is hiding something. A secret about my past that could set me free or shatter every reason I have to trust him.

The closer I get, the harder he is to resist. He touches me like I’m something precious. He stands between me and every threat like his body is a wall he built just for me. He looks at me like I’m the only thing in this world his mind can’t take apart and put back together.

And when the truth comes out — when I find out what he’s been keeping from me — I’ll have to decide if the man who buried my freedom is the same man who’d bleed to protect it.

Because in this world, love isn’t just dangerous.

It’s the one thing neither of us knows how to survive.

Release Date: August 13

Meet S. Cole:

Scarlett Cole is a contemporary romance and romantic suspense author who 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!). 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 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 any time.

DAISY

The day I ran, I left behind everything except my daughter.

I knew I couldn’t beat the men who wanted to take Elsie from me. Men with money, power, and enough lawyers to make sure she’d grow up visiting the father she never deserved. So I disappeared instead.

We’ve spent years looking over our shoulders. Never staying anywhere long enough to belong. Never trusting anyone enough to call them home.

Then one wrong phone call changes everything.

Vandal is a wall of tattoos, silence, and scars that tell stories he never will. The kind of man every sensible woman should fear.

Instead, I find myself wondering if the safest place I’ve ever been is in the arms of the most dangerous man I’ve ever met.

VANDAL

The men who took me thought they could break me, and maybe they did.

Physically, I get better every day. But my head is still so messed up, I can’t tell the difference between a memory and a nightmare. The club says I survived. Most days, it doesn’t feel like it.

Then a little girl calls my phone by mistake.

One wrong number puts Daisy and Elsie right in the middle of my wrecked life. Daisy with her gentle touch and guarded eyes. And Elsie clutching her teddy bear, looking at me like I’m someone safe.

I’m not.

I’m an Iron Outlaw. Damaged. Barely holding myself together.

But Daisy’s running from dangerous men. And I start wanting things I stopped believing I deserved; a home, a family, and her.

So, when Daisy’s past finally catches up to her, they’re going to learn exactly how dangerous a broken man can be when you threaten the only people keeping him alive.

🏍️Review🏍️

Even though being captured and tortured is over Vandal is struggling to deal with what happened and the effect it will have on his life and being part of the MC.   He is in a dark place when a call that wasn’t meant for from a little girl needing help for her and her mother gives him a purpose he has been missing.   He might not be in best shape to assist but nothing is going to stand in the way of being there for them.

Daisy is trying to protect her and her five-year-old daughter Elsie from her powerful ex and doesn’t need more complications or drawing attention to herself.   When Vandal comes to her rescue she is grateful but doesn’t expect to see him again however some things are meant to be and when the danger escalates the only place she wants to be is with him.

This is a captivating story about healing from the past and finding a path forward.   They take us on an emotional and action filled adventure as Elise knows that Vandal is meant to be in their lives even if he and Daisy need to overcome some turmoil to realize it as well.

Blurb:

She’s too young. Too reckless. And now she’s my wife.

Vanessa Baker is a temptation with a body made for seduction and secrets swirling in her violet eyes.

There’s no denying that she’s a stunning woman, but she’s a wild card.

Irresistible, unpredictable, and unexpected.

Exactly the kind of trouble I’ve vowed to stay away from.

So, imagine my shock when I wake up in the Bahamas with a ring on my finger and Vanessa in my bed—with no memory of how either got there.

She swears she had no choice. That marrying me was the only way to save herself from a dangerous deal she’d never agreed to.

And now I’m torn between protecting her and resenting her … doing the right thing and wishing I’d never met her.

I don’t trust easily. Not with my heart. Not with my son. And I definitely don’t trust her.

But I bring her home anyway—because her life is at risk. And even though she doesn’t deserve my protection, she has it.

Every day she’s here, charming my son, slipping past my walls, she reminds me of what love is supposed to feel like.

So, what happens when she doesn’t need me anymore … and I still want her anyway?

Neve Snowe doesn’t need to settle down. She is already settled in her small harbor town, with a cozy beach cottage and part ownership in the family-run auto repair shop. She doesn’t want a man, but she likes them. And she has one golden rule: only sleep with flatlanders. You know, the guys who never intend to stay in Lovewell Landing, only use the coastal area for a brief holiday.

And the last thing she desired was the unexpected . . . to be expecting.

Tate Love spent his summers in Lovewell Landing as a teenager, but somehow he’d missed the beautiful girl who turned into a spunky woman, daring him to jump into the icy ocean one New Year’s Eve, then slept with him near the town’s sacred well, holding spell-binding waters.

He never thought he’d see her again, until nine months later, a business prospect brings him back to the area.

Now, the man who longs to be tied down finds that one night planted the seed to everything he ever wanted, while he holds the pen that could sign away all she’s ever loved.

Welcome to Lovewell Landing, where autumn is in the air, pumpkins decorate every doorstep, and a little fiasco might cause opposites to fall in love.

Fall Love is a steamy, romantic comedy companion novel to The Holiday Post and continues the romances of the Snowe sisters in the beautiful and quirky small town of Lovewell Landing.

Backup Plan by Lisa Suzanne is now live!

BACKUP PLAN is an emotional and spicy sports standalone romance with a single mom, a secret relationship, and a pro football player who falls first from Amazon Top Ten Bestselling Author Lisa Suzanne.

Moving into my best friend’s brother’s penthouse was never part of my plan. Neither was falling for him. But when a few drinks with pro football quarterback Liam Bradley leave me tangled in his sheets, my plans have been derailed.

When Liam offers me a room in his penthouse so I can move out of my soon-to-be ex’s house, it seems like the perfect backup plan while I navigate an ugly divorce and try to keep my life together for my two young boys.

Somewhere between video game tournaments with my boys and late-night conversations over cereal, what was supposed to be a one-time thing is turning into more. But Liam is the last man I should want and the worst possible distraction…which is why we’re sneaking around in secret.

While Liam fights for the chance to finally become more than a backup quarterback, I’m fighting to protect my boys from a man determined to use every mistake against me.

And falling for my backup plan is already complicated enough before another woman shows up carrying Liam Bradley’s baby.

🏈Review🏈
Liam has become accustomed to feeling overlooked both when it comes to his career as a quarterback in the NFL which is uncertain and his brothers. When he decides to head to a pub he is surprised to see Penny, his older sister’s best friend, there and the sparks fly. What began as one night turns into her and her children staying with him so that she can distance herself from her ex.

Penny is going through a toxic divorce however there isn’t anything she wouldn’t do for her boys and that includes putting up with the way her ex is treating her. Liam is off limits as not only is he her best friend’s brother but there is also the age gap. One night is all she would allow herself but when he offers her a place to stay it seems like the perfect solution however the feelings that she and her boys are developing for him weren’t part of the plan.

Liam and Penny have so much to overcome between her ex, his career and a surprise that no one saw coming but through it all they are there for each other and show that what they share was never a fling but the start of forever as they take us on a journey that is filled with love, heat and all the feels.

He was only supposed to be a secret fling. A forbidden kiss stolen in the dark . . .

Not the cold-blooded monster who betrayed me.

Callahan Knight is the Diamond Syndicate’s perfect weapon with honed muscles, lethal control, and merciless loyalty. Even when taking out a rival cartel’s capo—my uncle—he doesn’t flinch. He shatters my family without hesitation, and I swear I’ll never forgive him for that.

But the Syndicate doesn’t care about my hatred. To secure their power, they demand more: A vow of marriage or watch everything we love get destroyed.

Now I’m the unwilling bride living in the luxurious prison of Paradise Grove with the man I refuse to call my soon-to-be husband. Instead, he’s the villain. Enemy number one. My tormentor . . .

But also maybe my undoing.

Because when he looks at me with the same fire we once shared, I can’t decide if I want to kill him . . . or kiss him.

Yet, I refuse to be distracted by his touch or piercing gaze. Instead, I’ll play the part, wear the ring, and say my vows all while I dig for his greatest weakness.

Because he may be the Syndicate’s deadliest weapon—

But I’m just as lethal as the monster I have to marry.

He’s the league’s most dangerous defenseman. She’s the specialist sent to determine whether he’s too broken to save. Neither of them is prepared for what happens when the truth hits back.

Locke Donovan has a reputation carved in blood and penalty minutes. The league’s most dangerous defenseman, he’s an angry, unapproachable loner who fights harder and refuses to let anyone in. The Portland Wildfire only took him because no one else would, and Locke seems determined to prove every rumor true. He doesn’t do teammates. He doesn’t do relationships. He barely does conversation.

Dr. Livia Cross is quiet, brilliant and controlled. Officially, she’s the Wildfire’s new high-performance consultant. Unofficially, she’s been embedded by the league to evaluate one player.

One risk.

Locke.

Her job is simple: observe him, test him, and determine whether he’s safe to stay on the ice, or too volatile to keep playing. But the man she finds beneath the scowl and silence isn’t what she expected. He’s sharp. Watching. Walled off for a reason. And when sparks ignite where there should only be professionalism, Livia’s carefully built boundaries start to crack.

Locke doesn’t trust easily yet he lets Livia closer than he ever intended, long before he learns she isn’t who he thinks she is. And when the truth comes out, it won’t just shatter their fragile connection… it might end his career.

Dark, emotional, and electric with slow-burn chemistry, LOCKE delivers a gripping workplace romance between a guarded enforcer and the woman sent to evaluate him—until desire becomes danger, and the lines between loyalty and love blur beyond recognition.

🏒Review🏒
Locke is a skilled defenseman for the Portland Wildfire, but he also has a temper that can be set off without warning which is placing his position with the team in jeopardy. He is a man with a tumultuous pass who guards his secrets and he certainly isn’t about to share them during the mandated sessions with Livia however the feelings he has for her are making that difficult.

Livia has been hired by the team to help the players enhance their performance. For most of the players it is voluntary however that is not the case when it comes to Locke. She knows that she will have to use unconventional methods to break through his walls however spending time with him allows her to see beyond his closed off persona to a man who is carrying a weight that is slowly breaking him.

Learning about Locke’s past brings an emotional aspect to the story which combined with the growing relationship he forms with team, a little suspense and a heartwarming romance draw you in and will have you invested in the outcome. Samantha Summer brings out the strength and feisty sides of Livia while Alistair Haynesbridge brings out the tortured protector in Locke.

She wants to make him Mr. Holiday. He wants to stay a certified Grinch. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely comes a small-town spicy holiday romance about a guarded cowboy veterinarian and a Christmas-loving optimist who team up for a town holiday competition.

Dr. Noah Lennox lives by three holiday rules—avoid his hometown, cheerful people, and Christmas itself.

But when his beloved grandfather announces he’s retiring and handing the cherished sleigh-ride farm to either Noah or his slick cousin Stephen, the first rule goes out the window. Back home in Evergreen Falls, the veterinarian vows to fight for the farm that means everything to him. The problem is, the town doesn’t exactly welcome its resident Scrooge with open arms.

Except for one very charming holiday enthusiast. Eloise Langston, a sunny tourism bureau hopeful, needs a win to land her dream job—and to pay the rent. Her holly jolly plan? Turn the broody, broad-shouldered grump into a festive front-runner to help the town’s Mr. Holiday Competition draw record crowds.

Transforming a camera-shy cowboy vet into a small-town sweetheart isn’t exactly in her job description—but neither is falling for him.

Soon, Noah and Eloise find themselves tangled in twinkle lights, fake kisses, and one very real attraction. But with the farm’s future at stake, Stephen’s scheming, and Eloise’s career on the line, there’s a blizzard of reasons to put their feelings on ice.

Or will they fight to turn their holiday fling into forever under the mistletoe?

The tea has gone cold.
The courts have fallen silent.
And the city never stops moving.

Dragged from Earth into a vast, vertical metropolis of brass, stone, and steam, Corvin Wren discovers that Wonderland runs on rules he never agreed to. Numbers crawl across his vision. Invisible thresholds lock his body in place. Progress is tracked, measured, and punished when it goes wrong.

Here, survival is not heroic.
It is permitted.

The city is governed by an unseen System that tolerates vice, violence, and decay as long as everything keeps working. Factions war quietly through factories and alleys. Clockwork constructs guard sealed spaces. Dungeons open where they shouldn’t, and close without warning.

Corvin’s only guide is Daffodil, a goblin scavenger who knows how to live between the gears without being crushed by them.

As Corvin learns the cost of gaining strength in a city that optimizes for stability, he begins to realize that Wonderland does not erase its past.

It buries it.

Somewhere beneath the streets, old names still carry weight.
Some truths were never corrected, only contained.
And the System is already watching him too closely.

Welcome back to Wonderland.
This time, it’s not pretending to be kind.
