Eve

Christmas in Snowflake Falls is the most wonderful time of the year. The lights, sounds, and smells are pure magic. Living here is like being wrapped up in a warm holiday hug. There’s nothing better.

My cozy little world gets shaken like a snow globe when the house next door sells. Worse yet, the new neighbor’s tomcat sneaks over and makes himself at home on my Christmas quilt with my sweet feline. Furious, I storm next door to give the owner a piece of my mind, only to find John Mitchell—my first love—standing there.

It would be so easy to fall back into a rhythm with him, one where only he and I exist. As the holidays pull us closer, I have to wonder, are we just wrapped up in the season…or could this time be different?

John

Returning to Snowflake Falls is exactly what I needed in my life—especially right before Christmas. I’d forgotten how much I missed the holidays in my hometown.

What I didn’t expect was my new next-door neighbor to be the one who got away. The moment she stomps over to my house, bangs on my door, and demands cat-support in the likelihood of a feline pregnancy, I know I’m done for. Eve is every bit as feisty and beautiful as I remember.

Being around her rekindles feelings I thought had faded, and the spark between us makes me think we could pick up right where we left off. First, I have to convince her this isn’t about holiday nostalgia. It’s about forever.

Release Blitz - WHISPERS FROM THE LIGHTHOUSE by Heidi McLaughlin

Title: Whispers from the Lighthouse 

Author: Heidi McLaughlin 

Genre: Paranormal & Cozy Romance 

Release Date: October 21, 2025 

Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC. 

Some secrets refuse to stay buried . . . even for twenty-five years. When tourist Melissa Clark vanishes near Westerly Cove's historic lighthouse, Detective Brooks Harrington expects a routine missing person case. Instead, he's paired with Vivienne Hawthorne, a tea shop owner who claims her family can speak to the dead.

The case mirrors a twenty-five-year-old mystery—teenage Lily Morgan, who disappeared while researching the same lighthouse. Both women were asking dangerous questions about the town's buried secrets.

Vivienne's visions reveal corruption deeper than anyone imagined, but skeptical Brooks believes in evidence, not psychic abilities—until her insights lead him to clues logic couldn't uncover.

Racing against time, they must navigate their growing attraction while confronting enemies determined to keep Westerly Cove's darkest secrets buried forever.

Everyone around me seems to be growing up and moving on, while I am stuck. Isolated. Still living at home.

Until Paddy O'Keefe comes back into my life.

Our friendship blooms and our connection grows, although he refuses to cross the line into something more.

He encourages my dreams and teaches me new things. All while trying to sort through his own trauma.

But in doing so, he sees the truth: that I have to let go of the one thing I cherish most that will change my life forever.

I'm not sure if I'm strong enough to do that... Or if I'm brave enough to make the first step.

But for the first time in forever, Paddy makes me believe it might just be possible.

Release Blitz & Review - OATHBREAKER by Kat Mizera & Elsie Faber

OATHBREAKER

Kat Mizera & Elise Faber

Release Date: October 27

She was never supposed to be mine.

Walking away was the only acceptable decision.

It was just one night. Two lonely souls finding solace in the one place we shouldn’t have—my bed.

I thought once would be enough, but leaving her is my biggest—maybe my only—regret.

Now, I’m back and seeing the results of that night is killing me.

I’ll make it up to her. I have to. Because I’ve never loved anyone else.

Because I’d rather die than break her heart a second time.

But when duty calls, I swore an oath to listen.

And I know…

There will be no coming back this time.

I new when we got to this final book in the series it would be a doozy. The authors did not disappoint as it was more than I could imagine.

The shock of the truths coming to light, the hurt from the secrets and time lost. But an emotional journey as relationships are rebuilt, new relationships given a chance to grow.

 Finding a new place in a world you left behind with the support of a found family stronger than blood.

I love that these authors can write these books seamlessly, keeping me guessing who wrote what.

Wondering where they might take us on the next adventure.

Release Blitz & Review - INSIDE SILENCE by Freya Barker

Inside Silence

Freya Barker

Savannah (Savvy) Colter is not easily overwhelmed, which is a good thing, since she is the sheriff of Edwards County. It’s rare to find someone her age— a woman to boot—carrying such responsibility, but over the years, Savvy has more than proven herself worthy of the position…to most.

However, when in a matter of a few weeks an old flame resurfaces in Silence, and two particularly violent murders land on her desk, her steady and predictable life becomes a little much to handle.

New full-time single parent, Nate Gaines, reluctantly returns to his hometown, Silence, to offer his teenage daughter some much-needed stability. As a contractor he can work anywhere, and it’s not like he left a particularly fulfilling life behind, but he’s not too sure how much work he’s going to get here.

Although, some of the changes he encounters in Silence are a surprise. The most shocking one is seeing the woman he once craved like air, now wearing the sheriff’s badge he so despises.

Coming home is definitely not turning out the way he’d envisioned. Especially when a sudden crime spree has the law knocking on his door…again.

https://www.freyabarker.com/.../silence.../inside-silence/

5 Stars

I love that the small towns Ms Barker creates make me feel like going home.  The realistic and relatable characters always pull me in for long visit. This book is an emotional healing of the past hurts and hope for new beginnings without the shadows of that past.

Savvy has worked her ass off to follow in Brant's footsteps. But not everyone is ready for a female sherriff and when she finds her self looking inside her team, it is a big kick to the gut. She is such a strong woman, keeping her emotions in check when everyone has eyes on her but she also recognized that she has some vulnerabilities just like everyone else.

Nate never thought he would return to Silence the way he was pushed out. He isn't certain the town folk will accept him back but he couldn't think of a better place to bring his struggling teenager for a new start. He knows he has unfinished business with Savvy and maybe she will forgive him.

When the quiet town once again begin to spiral and the safety of the town is threatened. Savvy finds herself digging deep, bringing in some outside help and up to her eyeballs in stress. Nate quickly tries to be there as a safe place and resting comfort.

Grab your copy and enjoy the wonderfully crafted web of suspense, realistic romance.

Release Blitz & Review - CHASING LOVE by Piper Rayne

Chasing Love by Piper Rayne is now live!

It was over between Bennett Owens and me—until I had no place to go but back to Willowbrook.

Seven years ago, he walked away, and I built a new life for myself, swearing never to look back. But when my husband is arrested, that life collapses, leaving my daughter and me with nothing but a three-month plan to return to the small ranch town before disappearing again.

Bennett’s a single dad now. Our girls become inseparable on sight, making it impossible to keep him at arm’s length. Especially when I end up working alongside him, where every glance chips away at the walls I’ve built.

The years apart haven’t dulled the pull between us. Bennett remains protective and patient, determined to prove that we deserve a second chance. But he has no idea about the secret I’ve kept since the day he left.

Because once he learns the truth, he may never forgive me. And like it or not, we’ll be bound together forever—by the daughter he never knew was his.

FEAR OF FLAMES

Aleatha Romig

Release Date: October 20

Available in Kindle Unlimited

She writes thrillers for a living, but nothing could prepare her for the one she’s living now.

By day, Michelle Holdcraft is the quiet woman-next-door in small-town Indiana. But by night, she's D. Valentine, a bestselling thriller author with a mind for murder and secrets.

Her real life?

Completely ordinary. Until one unplanned trip to visit her estranged father in Iron Falls, Massachusetts, flips everything upside down.

She wakes to a gunshot only to find her father’s body in a pool of blood on the first floor and flames engulfing the walls.

She barely escapes the burning house. Fleeing barefoot into the snow, Michelle becomes the only witness to a crime that no one in Iron Falls wants solved. Especially the sheriff.

Hiding in the snowy pines as she watches her father’s home burn, Michelle doesn’t know what to do, until a mysterious man appears, offering to help her—to save her life.

Michelle has never met Fletch—surely, she would remember this handsome and dangerous man if she had. However, Fletch knew her father and knows a lot about her, including her alter ego and her mother’s mysterious death.

With limited options, Michelle accepts Fletch’s help. It isn’t until she sees the large tattoo across his wide shoulder blades that she is shaken to the core. Michelle has seen that exact tattoo before—on her father.

Fletch might be her only ally... but he is hiding something. Her life has become one of her thrillers.

But this time, the story’s out of her hands—and the ending might just kill her.

This time, the heroine doesn’t get to write the final page.

What will it bring?

Pre-Order Blitz - THIS HEART by Kelly Elliott

This Heart by Kelly Elliott!

Releasing November 11, 2025

Liam

The heart is fickle. One day, you love something or someone, and then the next, they destroy you with their lies, and that love disappears.

I'm over the lies and the deceit. So, I tell my wife I want a divorce, only to find out she's fighting for her life, against a disease that doesn't like to lose. What kind of man would I be if I went through with ending our marriage knowing she's sick?

So, I stay. I raise our daughter, and I'm there to help her when she needs me. Her best friend, Aurora, is there too, which becomes a problem because Aurora is everything my ex isn't, and with each passing day, I fall harder for her, and my guilt for those feelings grows.

Aurora

When Hope told me about her diagnosis, I wanted to do anything I could to help her through this. I vowed to be there for her, to help in any way I could.

I jumped in to help with Winnie and picked up the slack where Liam couldn't. With each day, we watched her condition worsen. I spent more time with them, mostly Liam and me, and in time, we grew to be good friends. After we lost Hope to her illness, the friendship I thought I had found in Liam was destroyed when he pushed me away with words that cut to the core.

When Liam reaches out to heal the wound between us, we begin to grow close again, and I can admit to myself that my feelings for Liam go far beyond simple friendship. When Liam shares the biggest secret of his life with me, and the truth about his relationship with Hope comes to life, everything changes between us. His guilt will not let him fully move on with his life.

How can I convince him that if he'd let me, I'd love him and his daughter for eternity? I'd give him this heart with no regrets.

This Heart is book four, and the last book in the Moose Village series.

He’s tough enough to walk through fire. His only weakness? His best friend’s little sister. And now they’re facing danger that could ruin them both…

Rescue squad firefighter Tyler Gates is calm even in the most perilous situations. He knows all too well that emotions only add fuel to the fire when things go sideways—and when emotions are involved, everything goes sideways. Life’s just safer without feelings, period.

But when his best friend’s little sister is swept up in a case of arson, extortion, and murder on his watch? Tyler’s going to have to rely on every one of his survival instincts to protect her.

Including keeping her at arm’s length, no matter how badly he’s always wanted her.

As a former foster child, Chloe Ferguson knows what it’s like to need someone in her corner. When a thirteen-year-old girl in the system witnesses a brutal crime, then finds herself in the crosshairs of the dangerous criminal who committed it, Chloe knows she’ll need to do everything she can to keep her safe.

Even if that means setting her emotions aside to ask straight-laced, sexy Tyler for his help.

But Tyler and Chloe can’t fight the sizzling-hot attraction sparking between them, and soon, they’re protecting Chloe’s ward and each other against a killer who wants to silence them all. In order to make it out alive, they’ll need to stand together and put everything on the line.

Including their hearts.

Release Blitz & Review - PINCH by Tia Louise

PINCH by Tia Louise is now live!

Lane "Gavin" Knight is the hottest new defenseman for the LA Champions hockey team.

He's my cousin Maverick's best friend, and by trick of fate, my new roommate.

But just because he caught me when I fell off the "Welcome Back" parade float in my International Princess crown doesn't mean he's a hero.

I know him better than that.

Hayden "Haddy" Bradford is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

She's a princess, a brilliant scientist... And she hates me.

Until a purple-drink-fueled Halloween hook-up changes both of our lives.

It's something I've wanted a long time, but I never dreamed I'd have it with her.

Still, I'm the master of high-risk, high-reward plays, and I'll do what it takes to show her I'm not the man she thinks I am.

I'm there for her every step of the way, supporting, holding her hand, doing my best to show her my true self.

I told her I'd catch her when she falls, but no one is catching me--and I'm falling fast.

I'm headed straight into the offensive zone. Everything I want is at stake, but I'm committed to this puck battle, and I intend to win.

(Pinch is a hockey romance with enemies to lovers, roommates to lovers, a cocky bad-boy Hero, a sassy STEM/pageant-princess FMC, an accidental pregnancy, foster dogs, family, and loads of spicy fun. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup.)

Phoenix Thorne was the last man I wanted to see when I came back to Val-Du-Lys with my son.

But fate has a cruel sense of humor.

Now I'm working in his brewery... and sleeping in the loft above his garage.

He hasn't changed.

Sharp edges. Hard muscles. Walls no one could scale.

And he still looks at me like I'm the wildflower that cut him all those years ago.

We were enemies once.

Now we're neighbors.

Every stolen glance, every brush of his hand pulls us closer to a line we swore we'd never cross.

Then he kisses me.

Hard. Hungry. Reckless.

The kind of kiss that burns hotter than whiskey and leaves me aching for more.

He vowed he'd never forgive me.

I swore I'd never need him.

But the past has a way of catching up. Secrets that don't stay buried. Threats that circle too close to the people I love.

And suddenly the man I betrayed is the only one standing between me and a storm I never saw coming.

Because once Phoenix claims me... he'll fight like hell to keep me.
