As a college English professor, Elizabeth looks forward to the start of each new semester teaching her creative writing seminar. 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.

She knows this story. It’s all familiar because she lived it. The girl in the story was her best friend Jocelyn, and Elizabeth knows exactly how the story will end—with the teacher dead. Because she was the one who killed him.

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.

Release Blitz & Review - AT THE EDGE OF SURRENDER by A.L. Jackson

At the Edge of Surrender by A.L. Jackson is now live!

A surprise single dad, small town romantic suspense…

I’m the last guy on the planet who should be a dad. My life is chaos. My sins written dark and deep.

So, imagine my surprise when my doorbell rings and I open it to find the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen standing on the other side.

And she’s holding the hand of a little girl who looks just like me.

Emery tells me her sister, the child’s mother, is dead.

I feel like dirt since she’s a woman I can hardly remember, and it’s no wonder Emery doesn’t trust that I’m worthy of caring for her niece.

But I can’t turn my back, and I insist on raising Maci.

So, we strike a deal—she’ll stay with me for one month to ensure the little girl is safe.

Emery tries to hate me for who I am, but neither of us can resist the attraction that blazes between us.

One brush of her hand, and she has me on my knees.

One kiss, and I’m falling fast.

Soon, we find ourselves tangled in my sheets.

But when it’s discovered her sister’s death wasn’t accidental, the secret life I’ve been living collides with the past Emery has tried to keep hidden.

And when the fiends come back to finish the job they started, I’m in a race against time to save the two people who I’ve come to love most…

Release Date: June 17, 2025

Take a sneak peek at SOMEONE KNOWS.

You know you want to...

A voice behind me catches me off guard. “Put hers on my tab, please, Willow.”

I expect to find the mullet man when I turn, but I’m pleasantly surprised. Instead, there’s a tall, handsome—albeit too young for me—man with a deliciously crooked smile. That smile widens, unveiling a set of cavernous dimples. Oh my.

“You are definitely not from around here,” he drawls.

I swivel and face him for a better look. “Oh yeah? Why is that?”

“Because the girls from these parts drink one of three things: White Claws, High Noons, or Jack and Coke. And the third I keep away from because that means they’re going to wind up sloppy drunk.”

“I suppose the reason I don’t drink any of those is because I’m a woman, not a girl.”

Dimples looks me up and down. There’s a sparkle in his eyes when they meet mine. “You sure are.”

I chuckle. He’s corny and over the top, but something about him appeals to me. It could be the confidence. There’s nothing I’m drawn to more than a confident man. Which is why Sam isn’t the first cop I’ve dated.

Release Blitz - KNOW HER CATCH by Ari Wright

Knot Her Catch by Ari Wright is now live!

She's out of their league... but they're still playing for keeps.

You know the phrase, “It is what it is?” Well, for Bridget Woods, it is what you make it.

But even she has to admit… this situation seems pretty hopeless.

She accepted the Locke Pack’s ridiculous offer so she could finally find some control over her life. Sure, they were a hot mess and she definitely hated them, but Bridget was never a girl to shy away from a challenge.

She also never expected she would be splashed across media headlines, outed as the famous pro-baseball players’ “fake fiancée.” There’s only one way to save face—the atrocious alphas have to double-down and move in with her.

With four strong-willed men invading her space, Bridget soon finds out her beloved independence might be a little hard to swing. Big-bat-wielding alphas who smell like her own personal heaven? All up in her business (not to mention her tiny bedroom)?

It sounds like a fun, naughty dream she had once. But now the men who only wanted Bridget as a showpiece are suddenly treating her like she might be their mate… And making sure she knows exactly how much they want their fake engagement to become the real deal.

Can Bridget still walk-off without catching feelings? Or will these players beat her at her own game?

I've never been one to say no to a good cause. So when the fire station decides to hold a bachelor auction fundraiser, I'm all in. After all, I'm Hollywood—the guy with the pretty face who's always ready to put on a show.

What I don't expect is to be bought by a grandma. Not for herself (thank God), but for her granddaughter.

One night with Lucy is all it takes to knock me off my feet. She's beautiful, funny, and sees right through my act. For the first time, I find myself wanting to stick around for the morning after.

Then I discover she's a single mom—the one thing I swore I'd never get involved with. She deserves better than a guy like me with my messed-up childhood and zero parenting skills.

But walking away from Lucy feels impossible. And maybe, just maybe, the package deal I've spent my life avoiding is exactly what I need.

Enemies to Lovers

Release Date: June 5, 2025

From USA Today best selling author, Scarlett Cole, writing as S. Cole, comes an electrifying small town MC, grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers romance.

Quinn

Two things happened on my thirteenth birthday. My older sister went missing. And I told Smoke Callahan, the Iron Outlaws Road Captain, that it was his fault she was gone.

Fourteen years later, I still hate him.

But hate doesn’t keep me safe when the Bratva sets its sights on me.

I need protection. The kind only a ruthless, broken man like Smoke can provide.

So I make him an offer. I’ll help him recover from the burns that nearly cost him his life. In return, he keeps me breathing.

It should be simple. It isn’t.

Because the more time I spend in his orbit, the more I see the man behind the scars. The one who carries a past as heavy as mine. And when he looks at me, it’s not hatred I see in his dark eyes anymore.

It’s something far more dangerous.

Smoke

Quinn Moran was just a kid when she came at me, fists flying, blaming me for her sister’s disappearance. I let her. I deserved it.

Now she’s all grown up—sharp-tongued, stubborn as hell, and standing in my cabin, asking for my protection.

I should say no. I should send her away.

But I don’t. Because even if she still hates me, I’ll kill anyone who tries to hurt her.

Even if it means she learns the truth.

Even if it means she never forgives me.

Because she was never meant to be mine. But that won’t stop me from taking her.

STERLING TOUCH

L.B. Dunbar

Release Date: June 5

I wasn’t supposed to love him. I wasn’t even supposed to acknowledge him. But my entire life, I’ve had heart-eyes for my oldest brother’s former best friend, Cortland Haven.

I can’t help it that boys can be stupid, and a feud broke apart a long-time friendship and divided once-close families.

Try as I might to ignore Cort, I didn’t miss his eyes on me from across a crowded bar, twelve years ago. Oh, the way my skin tingled under his appraisal. The way my heart pattered knowing he was looking at me.

We shared more than a moment.

Now, we’re older and wiser. And with a little over a decade age gap between us, and a divide greater than that between our families, my heart still hasn’t gotten the memo.

No, that fickle organ has other plans for Cortland and me.

Especially when the silver fox is my son’s new baseball coach and I suddenly find myself assigned as his physical therapist.

I don’t just fall for the man adverse to touch, I tumble hard for him, when he should never be mine.

Another wonderful trip to Sterling Falls as Vale gets her story. An emotional second chance, age gap, single parent with so much healing and chemistry. It's a bit of a slow burn but just what the doctor ordered, I was invested from the very beginning.

Vale and Cort have history. More than most but that sometimes happens in a small town like Sterling Falls. Being her oldest brothers ex-best friend, he knows most of her past, the good and the bad. Though they seem to have a connection, they have their own bad that they will have to work through. Is this draw enough for them to tread lightly and see where things might go?

Grab your copy and snuggle up for a great book, find out how it turns out for little bee.

Release Date: June 3, 2025

Ryan

Some might say I’m running away. I prefer to look at it as an extended vacation, from social media, the paparazzi, and my very public life back in Los Angeles.

That’s why I rented a small cabin in the woods in Nowhere, Wisconsin. I needed an escape and time to lick my wounds from a breakup. What I wasn’t expecting was Marcus Wright, the most frustrating man on the face of the planet, to be right next door. Our chemistry is undeniable, and it doesn’t take long to realize a summer fling is just what the doctor ordered.

Our time has a deadline though, and at the end of a month, I’m going back home to Los Angeles. Problem is, despite Marcus’s grumpy demeanor, I’m not sure I want to.

Marcus

My days, and some of my nights, are spent working on vehicles in my shop. Working and living in my hometown of Pine Village is where I’m comfortable, where I belong.

My quiet little world is disrupted the day Ryan Marcotte rolls into town in her high heels and designer clothes. She’s the exact opposite of me, a spoiled rich girl who pushes my buttons like no other. She’s famous, has her own TV show, and is only here for a short time. I’m also wildly attracted to her. I try to fight it, but the pull is too strong. So when she suggests a little no-strings fun, I’m all in.

Unfortunately, our private bubble is popped the moment fans discover her location. All good things must come to an end. I just wasn’t expecting my heart to be so invested.
