Rhythm is a Heartbeat by L.H. Cosway is now live!

Shannon Guerin is an ordinary single mother–except for the fact that her ex-husband is the lead singer of a world famous rock band.
Shannon and Jace were childhood sweethearts. They divorced when his drug addiction destroyed their marriage, but that was years ago. Now he’s in recovery and has just come off a yearlong tour. His band is going on hiatus, which means Jace is going to be around a whole lot more for their daughter, Zara. What Shannon doesn’t know is that Jace never stopped loving her and has a secret plan to win her back.
While Shannon has tried to convince herself to move on, she’s never fully gotten over her ex. Jace is determined to prove that he deserves her trust again even though he knows it won’t come easy.
When someone begins impersonating Jace online and scamming his fans, he and Shannon grow closer in their quest to find the culprit. The bond they once shared sparks to life, but old hurts take time to heal. Jace is patient and prepared to make amends for the pain he caused in the past. He will go the distance for the one and only woman who ever captured his heart.


Rhythm is a Heartbeat is a Six of Hearts next generation novel, starring Jay and Matilda’s son, Jace. It can be read as a standalone romance.

Tracey’s Review

Having started reading L.H. Cosway with her Quiet Love series, RHYTHM IS A HEARTBEAT is the first time meeting the Fields family, but you can bet that I’ll be diving into that backlist ASAP. I am an absolute sucker for a second-chance romance, and L.H. has given us one heck of one with this book.

Jace Fields has a great redemption arc, not only with his family and fans, but most especially with his estranged wife and greatest love, Shannon Guerin. I’m not sure how Shannon kept her distance for as long as she did, because Jace is a man on a mission, and convincing her that he’s all in and not making his past mistakes again is his top priority.

This is an author that does world building really well, and RHYTHM IS A HEARTBEAT is no exception. The pacing, the characters, the suspense woven in with the romance, all make for a terrific read, and all of the pieces come together in the end to create a story that I did not want to end. Longtime fans and new readers alike will enjoy this book, and I can’t wait to see what comes next in this world.

New Release + Release Blitz: Lost in Overtime by Claudia Burgoa

LOST IN OVERTIME by Claudia Burgoa is HERE! This angsty, why-choose sports romance promises to be a sizzler! Make sure to grab your copy and dive in!

Two hockey rivals.

One woman they never stopped loving.

And the one thing neither of them is willing to admit out loud:

USA Today Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa delivers a deeply angsty MMF why-choose hockey romance featuring two pro-hockey rivals, the woman they can’t stop loving, hurt/comfort, found family, and a love that risks careers, reputations, and the one thing they never meant to want—each other.

If you like:

🩹 “touch her and die” protection

😮‍💨 rivalry that turns into obsession

💬 texts that escalate fast

🤍 found family/team loyalty

🔥 spice with feelings (and consequences)

🌈 queer rep + MM tension

Blurb:

Two Rivals. One Woman. No Choosing.

Alberto Wade and Callaway Winthrop were my best friends first—until one night broke us, and the three of us stopped being an us.

Now they’re enemies in the league, an “infamous rivalry” splashed across headlines like it’s just hockey.

It isn’t.

It’s me.

It’s what they’ve always wanted and have never been able to agree on.

It’s the way their hate on the ice has always sounded too much like longing off it.

Now, a shocking trade and an emergency back home drag us back into the same orbit. Older. harder. Still dangerous. Still looking at me like I’m the only thing they’ve ever wanted.

They still want to win.

They still want me.

I still refuse to choose.

But second chances come with scars, secrets, and promises we never got to finish—until a single mistake turns into two pink lines . . .

I’m pregnant—with a baby that isn’t theirs.

The timing is brutal. The fallout is inevitable. And the only way we survive what comes next is if they stop making me choose—stop pretending their rivalry is the only fire between them—and finally admit what’s been burning between all three of us all along.

Because this time . . .

They’re not just fighting for a season.

They’re fighting for us.

RELEASE BLITZ
Title: Be The Full Problem
Series: Don’t Date Him #4
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Tropes: Secret Baby, Second Chance Romance
Grumpy/Sunshine, Small Town
Release Date: April 14, 2026
 

BLURB
 
I blame getting pregnant on my sister getting mauled by a bear.

If she hadn’t been attacked that day, I wouldn’t have come home to check on her. I wouldn’t have run into Boone Windsor at that bar. I wouldn’t have gone home with him, ready to drown my sorrows in a different, more satisfying way.

I wouldn’t have given him that second chance.

Not after he’d so badly burned the first chance.

I would’ve gone back to work half the country away, and I would’ve kept my head in the sand where Boone was involved.
But my sister did get attacked. I did give Boone a second chance.

And I almost died because of it.

After my memories are lost in an accident that almost takes both of our lives, Boone makes me fall in love with him all over again.

And since I didn’t know all the hell that awaited me, I didn’t guard my heart.

I fell, and fell, and fell until there was nowhere else to go but down.

Then, when those memories come back and I’m faced with the consequences of my actions, I didn’t falter.

I knew he was hell, yet I chose to burn with him anyway.

Tracey’s Review

Y’all, the way that I loved this book. There were snippets of Nettie and Boone in NOT A SIDE CHICK, but I was absolutely not prepared for how much I was going to love them. As usual, Lani Lynn Vale has given readers a unique, creative, and heartwarming read, and I am so here for it.

In finally getting the whole backstory of what happened between Nettie and Boone, it’s easy to see how they’ve become frenemies with a past. But what a past, one built on love that has endured tragedy and loss, and still burns on. This book is one of my favorites in this series, and maybe one of my most favorite LLV books ever. I love it that much, and given the sheer volume of books Lani has written, that is saying something.

I think that sharing too much of the plot is a disservice to readers, because part of the magic of Lani’s books is reading a page and thinking, ‘where the heck does she come up with this stuff?!’ I can only say that I continue to marvel at her imagination and her ability to give us stories that are sexy, sweet, action-packed, and that stay with us.

It’s best to have read the other books in the series, but even if you haven’t make sure that this one is at the top of your TBR. You will not be sorry.

I plan other people’s love stories for a living. Perfect nights. Perfect moments. Perfect control.

So when my guitarist cancels an hour before a high-profile event, I do what any professional would do—panic quietly and pray for a miracle.

Then he walks in.

Late. Soaked from the rain. Incredibly handsome. Unapologetically charming.

A man I absolutely shouldn’t notice.

He plays music like the storm outside taught him how to feel.

He saves the night. And without meaning to, he starts unraveling mine.

I don’t know that he’s a world-famous musician in hiding.

I only know that when he looks at me, the world stops spinning.

I build love stories for other people. It’s chaotic, but it’s always strategic, straight-forward.

But this time, the one falling—hard, fast, and completely unplanned—is me.

There’s no seating chart that can contain, or explain, the storm that is Dexter Vaughn. But maybe his humor, guitars, and big heart is exactly what I need to build my own breathtaking love story.

Trigger Warnings:

● Addiction (hero is an ex-addict)

● More trigger warnings to come at a later date

Cover Reveal: Just Playing for Keeps by Lauren Blakely

When she’s fake dating the hockey star, but he was never faking it…

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely, comes the next standalone hockey romance in her brand new Hockey Ever After series, JUST PLAYING FOR KEEPS! This spicy, fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, only one bed in a room, opposites attract hockey romance releases June 3rd in all formats, and will be free to read in Kindle Unlimited. Check out the cover and blurb below and pre-order your copy today!

About JUST PLAYING FOR KEEPS (Coming 6/3/2026):

Ever hear the story about the dating coach who got dumped on the hockey arena’s jumbotron?

Everyone did. But I lived it. Including the moment when Lake Axelrod, the team’s broody, tattooed right winger, swooped in on skates to rescue me from public humiliation.

Even more surprising? When the famously grumpy (and ridiculously sexy) hockey star insists on being my fake boyfriend for my sister’s high-profile wedding.

It’s the perfect plan. His family stops pressuring him to settle down, and I’ll get the ultimate revenge, since my ex is the best man. Bonus – I might even salvage my professional reputation.

We need rules though.

  1. To pull this off, everyone from his teammates to my boss has to believe we’re a real couple.
  2. That means swoony touches and knee-weakening kisses are required.
  3. When it ends, we walk away.

But the intensity in Lake’s eyes after every post-game kiss makes me wonder if he’s pretending. With each whispered secret, the line between fake and real bends. Until it shatters one night in a hotel room.

Soon, he isn’t just playing the protective boyfriend—he’s the only one who truly sees me.

If I’m not careful, I’m going to break the most important rule of all: don’t fall for your fake date.
