Finnian “Apollo” Reins met Dru Noel Rossi at his lowest.

She was a bright ray of sunshine in his darkest, cloudiest night.
He had no clue that he needed her. He was just struggling to keep his head above water, going from day to day, waiting for it to be his time to go.
But then she catches his eye in the swankiest restaurant in Washington DC. She’s wearing all black and sticks out like a sore thumb among the elitists’ otherwise dressiest affairs. She may have been severely underdressed, but that didn’t stop Finnian from following her every move and becoming obsessed.
So of course, when she leaves, he follows her. And wouldn’t you know it, she goes right back to his hometown.
But that’s not the first coincidence between the otherwise complete opposites. It’s just a long line of chance encounters that force them together, time and time again, and show them what they’re missing.
She’s the sweetest thing he’s ever met, and understandably, is hesitant to get anywhere near a Truth Teller like him.
The Truth Tellers MC got their hard, terrifying reputations for a reason.
But Finnian wears her down with his charm, while showing her what it’s like to be with someone that won’t hesitate to take out the entire world as long as it makes her smile.
He has to have her in his life, and he’ll do just about anything to make that happen. A little light stalking, financial blackmail and forced proximity never hurt anybody.

New Release + Release Blitz: Half-Light Harbor by Samantha Young


Half-Light Harbor by Samantha Young is now live! 

I went to Scotland looking for answers about my past. The last thing I expected was getting trapped on a private island with my stoic, brooding, gorgeous contractor.

Ramsay McRae is a man with secrets. He prefers the company of his dog to people and silence to any semblance of politeness. He says I’m too young, too sweet, too innocent.

Only he doesn’t know the truth. That I’m haunted by a crime that tore my life apart two years ago. I’ve come to Half-Light Harbor not just to start over, but to bring the monster who killed my parents to justice.

The last thing I need is a tortured Scot distracting me from my mission. But when his restraint snaps and my walls crumble, the results are explosive.

We say it’s only a no-strings-attached affair. A temporary moment to burn out this fire between us.

However, when my search for the truth brings danger to my door, it’s Ramsay stepping in to protect me. But it might be the secrets from his past that tear us apart forever…

New Release + Release Blitz: Denim & Diamonds by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland

Title: Denim & Diamonds
Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 27, 2025
BLURB

When the board of directors of my company mandated that I go to a wellness facility in small-town Maine to recharge, that shouldn’t have included:
1.) Using a ladder to sneak out of the bedroom window at night and going to the local bar.

2.) Getting so drunk that the bar owner brought me upstairs to sleep it off in his bed.
3.) Waking up staring at the taxidermy moose head on said bar owner’s wall.
4.) Falling for said bar owner who was the most drop-dead gorgeous man I’ve ever seen.

But Brock Hawkins was so much more than just the hot bar owner. He owned half the town, built log cabins with his bare hands, and was apparently the most eligible man in all of Meadowbrook.
He was also a cinnamon roll despite his seemingly rock-hard exterior.
And the last man I should’ve been falling for—because my time in this small town was limited.
I had to head back to my life in New York City, one that was the complete opposite from the kind Brock lived.
He was denim. I was diamonds.
The problem was, the sexy lumberjack wasn’t the type of man who was easy to walk away from. Hell, I couldn’t even part with his plaid shirt that had become a constant fixture wrapped around my shoulders most days, let alone think about erasing him from my life.
A life with Brock, though, would have to be all or nothing.

Go big or go home.

I just didn’t realize that choosing to go big might also mean getting my heart broken when Brock’s life took a turn neither of us saw coming.

At least until she reads chapter one of The Reckoning, a tale about a high school senior who has an affair with her teacher. To anyone else it would be the beginning of a great page-turner, but to Elizabeth it is the beginning of the end.

Someone knows what Elizabeth did twenty years ago and her secret is about to be exposed, but who is the mystery student submitting the chapters? In an effort to find out, Elizabeth returns to her Louisiana hometown where it soon becomes clear that no matter how many years have gone by, she can’t escape her past.

Posy “Doc” Hicks has high blood pressure. All thanks to a certain hazel-eyed blonde who drives him absolutely insane in her short shorts and cowboy boots.

At first, Searcy Hodges is just a passing fancy.
A look but don’t touch kind of girl.
She has a bad attitude, an even worse bedside manner, and a chip on her shoulder the size of Texas.
It would be wise to stay away, even if that attitude of hers really does great things for him.
But how is a man supposed to stay away when her temper is just that spectacular to experience?
He’s literally watched Searcy make one of her customers cry and not care.
She’s the poster child for ‘don’t do this if you want to stay in business.’
Yet, everyone keeps coming back.
And she keeps shelling out the attitude.
He’s a grown man. He shouldn’t get as much enjoyment out of watching the woman struggle.
He should be figuring out his own life, not wanting to dig into hers.
But the moment she breaks down in his arms and asks him for help, setting aside the attitude and exposing her vulnerability, he finds it impossible to say no.
He’s a Truth Teller. A biker with a hero complex. A paramedic and a former SEAL.
It’s literally ingrained in his psyche to help, and it’s painfully obvious that Searcy could use everything he has to give.
And while he’s solving her problems, he’ll make her his along the way.
She’ll never see it coming.

New Release + Release Blitz: Built to Last by Lexi Blake

Built to Last by Lexi Blake is now live! 

From New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake, discover The Park Avenue Promise Series…

Three young women make a pact in high school—

to always be friends and to one day make it big in Manhattan

Built to Last

Harper Ross has always dreamed of working on one of the magnificent brownstones of Park Avenue. Now one of her closest friends has bought the house of her dreams and hired Harper to do the construction work. She wants to showcase the renovation on a television show for her brand-new production company. It’s the same grand home she and her friends promised themselves they would be able to afford one day. Working on it isn’t the same as living in it, but it’s all a part of Harper’s grand plan to grow her father’s construction business into one of the biggest in the city. The only obstacle—the designer on the project.

Reid Dorsey believes in the balance between beauty and functionality. As one of Manhattan’s new voices in design, he’s excited to get to work on a true Gilded Age property. If only the owner had selected a contractor he enjoyed working with. Oh, Harper was brilliant and her work was excellent, but she has an opinion on everything—and it’s usually the opposite of his.

Over the course of the job, these enemies start to see different sides of each other, and suddenly their fights don’t seem so bad. But when the project is threatened, they might have to choose between their jobs and the beautifully designed future they could share.

Tracey’s Review

I have thoroughly enjoyed each of the books in the Park Avenue Promise series by author Lexi Blake, but BUILT TO LAST, the third and final book, has found a special place in my heart. Reid’s and Harper’s story is chef’s kiss, a favorite from start to finish.

Harper is one of those characters that I immediately liked and wanted to know more about as each of the three books unfolded. Strong and sure of herself, Harper knows immediately that Reid Dorsey is not her cup of tea…or is he?

Witty banter, steamy chemistry, and such an amazing found family makes BUILT TO LAST both a fun and an emotional read. Lexi has written another cast of characters that make you want to jump in and hang out with them, and a plot that demonstrates, as she so often does, that having others to lift us up and have our backs is everything.

This can be read as a standalone, but, truly, make the time to start with START US UP (Book 1) and meet the whole gang. You will be so glad that you did!

New Release + Release Blitz + 4.5 Star Review: Under An Endless Moon by A.L. Jackson

Under an Endless Moon by A.L. Jackson is now live! 

I should have known I’d break the oath I made when I offered to let my best friend’s little sister move in with me…

She’s the sweetest woman on the face of the planet.

And to my great misfortune, the sexiest one, too.

She’s been living under her brother’s roof her entire life, and she’s ready to spread her wings.

And I’m the masochist who offers she stay at my place until she can find an apartment.

When I hear her having a nightmare, the only thing I can do is go to her. Hold her so she knows she’s safe from her demons.

The second she’s in my arms, the attraction I’ve tried to hide sparks to life. I know better than to push past the boundaries I’ve set for us, but when she begs me to touch her in a way she’s never been touched, I can’t resist.

And with my name on her lips as I send her soaring for the first time, I know there’s no going back.

I’m willing to break every rule and oath I’ve ever made to keep her.

Accept every consequence.

Only she and I have a dark, dangerous history that no one knows about.

And I’m afraid the consequences of loving her have just caught up to us…

Tracey’s Review

A.L. Jackson always gets me with the tortured teddy bears. The strong best friend that hides his pain behind a sarcastic smile, the hero that has quietly yearned for his girl for ages, the man that would do anything for the ones that he loves. And, queue Otto Hudson, my latest love.

Amy is slaying me all over again with the Moonlit Ridge series, and it’s going to be hard for me to fall harder than I have for Otto and Raven. The love, the longing, the support and caring, the quiet strength and safe space that they are for each other had me all in from the get go, and I could not have loved their journey more.

“Family is who you love most. And this family will always take care of each other.”

I really like that found family is so much a part of Amy’s books, characters finding the people that truly get them, and that will be there for them, so often because their own families haven’t. Otto, Raven, River, Charleigh, and all of the rest of the Sovereign Sanctum crew, have made the best family ever, one that’s built on love, and it’s a beautiful thing. All of this, along with the passion, suspense, and a tragically compelling storyline made UNDER AN ENDLESS MOON exactly what I expect when I dive into one of Amy’s books, and one that left me waiting anxiously for the next book in the series. If you haven’t read these books, now’s the time, because AT THE EDGE OF SURRENDER is Kane’s book, and promises to be amazing. ❤️

New Release + Release Blitz: The Path to Loving Him by Meghan Quinn

This steamy, laugh out loud, enemies-to-lovers, small town standalone romance is now available in all formats and delivers the perfect happily ever after. One-click your copy today!

What does one do when they completely blow an interview?

If you’re me, you pick up a one-night stand with the most gorgeous man you’ve ever seen… 

That’s right, after a lousy interview that could have changed everything for me, I headed over to the local small town bar to sulk when the one man I shouldn’t want walked in. And when my friend convinced me to take him back to my hotel room, I didn’t think about it, I just did it . . . well, I did him.

It was an unforgettable night, but I didn’t stay for breakfast. Instead, I got out of there and tried not to think about him again.

Everything was fine until I received a call from the interviewer saying I got the job as the assistant baseball coach at Almond Bay High. I’d be working directly under the one and only Ryland Rowley–my one-night stand. 

Now, I’m not only working with him but renting the apartment above his garage. And I have to deal with the fact that he’s the man I dream about and can’t have while not letting my attraction get in the way of keeping the harmony between us. Sounds easy, doesn’t it?

It should have been, except the plan falls apart when my shower breaks, and night after night I have to slip into his house to use the bathroom only to find him in the kitchen, staring me down with those hungry, single dad eyes.

New Release + Release Blitz: She’s A Wild One by Kristen Proby

She’s a Wild One by Kristen Proby is now live!

From New York Times Bestselling author Kristen Proby comes the final installment in her beloved Wilds of Montana series, featuring a small-town, marriage of convenience, second-chance love for the ages!

I have loved Millie Wild for more than eight years. Since that summer long ago when we were inseparable, stealing moments and keeping our love a secret.

And my girl has hated me for just as long.

When my father found out about my love for Millie, the daughter of the rival family next door, he threatened everything I love the most if I didn’t let her go. My father didn’t make idle threats.

So, I did the only thing I could to keep her safe: I made her hate me.

For eight long years, I’ve stayed away. But now, my monster of a father is dead and buried, and he couldn’t help but stick it to me one more time by leaving a caveat in the will that stated in order to inherit what’s rightfully mine and my sisters’, I have to marry and stay that way for one full year.

There’s only one woman in the world that I would consider saying “I do” to.

Millie is happy with her life. She owns the local coffee shop and enjoys being with her family. I torture myself by visiting her coffee shop under the guise of needing caffeine. I deserve her glares and snarky comments. Every moment of pain, whether self-inflicted or from her, is mine to own.

She deserves so much more than me and my baggage, standing on her doorstep, asking her to marry me. To help me.

But she says yes. Yes to one year of being mine, but I plan to show her that she’ll be mine until the stars fall from the sky.

With the name Lexington, I know that I’ve caused pain for not only Millie but the entire Wild family. Will I be able to convince my wild rose that I’m in love with her for all the right reasons? Or will the centuries-old family rivalry tear her away from me? For good, this time.
