What to expect:

❤️ Single Dad x Nanny

☀️ Grumpy x Sunshine

🥹 Widowed Hero

🏡 Found Family

💕 He Falls First

I run a global security company with my brothers and negotiate high-stakes deals without breaking a sweat.

But my daughter deciding she suddenly hates every outfit in her closet five minutes before school? That brings me to my knees every time.

Honestly, being a CEO is easier than being a single dad.

That’s why I have rules. Routines. Structure. My life runs a whole lot smoother when everything stays organized and under control.

Then my maintenance company bails on me again, and my house descends into complete chaos. Hiring help goes from unnecessary to essential.

Which is how Melody crashes into my carefully ordered life.

Suddenly, my daughter wants to cook with Melody every evening and runs to her for advice about dresses and hair clips. And I can’t stop thinking about the beautiful woman dancing through my kitchen like she already belongs in our lives.

She makes me want things I stopped believing I deserved a long time ago.

But after losing my wife, I swore I’d never give anyone the power to destroy me again.

Because if I let Melody become part of our lives, losing her would hurt not only me—but my daughter too.

The problem is, every time Melody smiles at me, I want to bend every rule I’ve spent years living by.

Cover Designer: z Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC. 

Some fires leave more than ashes.

Bastien Durand has spent a century telling hauntings from bad wiring. So when fires start breaking out across New Orleans and witnesses swear the flames move wrong, he walks the scene and rules it out. No curse. No spirit. Just a very human arsonist.

Then Delphine breathes the smoke and collapses.

When she wakes, she remembers burning — a hundred years ago, in his arms.

Every fire after that opens another door. A home they built. A proposal he never got to make. And beneath it all, the truth Bastien has hidden since the day they met: he was never cast out of Heaven.

He fell on purpose. For her.

Now he has to choose — let her remember everything, or protect her from the one memory that could break her.

Some promises survive even death.

Release Date: October 16, 2026 
Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC. 

Nurse practitioner, Dana Kerrigan, finds her steady and comfortably predictable life suddenly turned upside down as the result of a family emergency. With no choice but to take a leave from work, she has to hustle to keep Silence’s favorite pub running and her parents looked after. When heartbreak brings with it an unexpected opportunity to realize a long-held dream, it presents a new set of problems. One that involves murder, and the man sent to investigate.

As a recent transplant to Silence, sheriff’s detective, Rick Althof, was aiming for less stress and more solitude. Instead, he finds himself frequently drawn to The Kerrigan, a popular pub in town, to enjoy a meal, a beer, and—if lucky—a friendly chat with the owner’s pretty daughter. Still bearing the invisible scars of past mistakes, he’s determined to keep things friendly, despite a growing attraction. However, his resolve is put to the test when she lands in the middle of an elaborate development scheme involving bribery, blackmail, and even murder.

It was supposed to be one night.

Now I can’t seem to let him go.

As a single mom, my life is built on routine, responsibility, and putting my son first. There isn’t room for distractions—especially not from a playboy hockey player with a reputation as big as his ego.

One night with Sawyer Hill, star forward for the Grizzlies, was supposed to be a moment of indulgence. Nothing more.

Only…he keeps showing up. Keeps looking at me like I matter. And worst of all, he looks at my son like he plans to stay.

But I’ve trusted the wrong man before, and I won’t make that mistake again.

Except—

The more he shows me who he is…

The harder it is to walk away.

Until the cathedral doors crash open and he comes to make good on an old promise.

"I’ll marry you myself before I let any other man touch you."

Now, I belong to Jet Blackstone, a man they call The Devil.

But Jet doesn’t know the real reason I ran. And he can’t ever find out.

Jet

I would have done anything for Amal. I’d have given her the f’ing world. All she had to do was ask.

Instead, she betrayed me.

Stole the one thing I should have destroyed a decade ago and disappeared.

She crossed an ocean.

I followed.

And when I found her, I bound her to me in the only way I knew how.

I made her my wife.

But before I can take my bride home, we’re attacked, and the past I thought I'd buried comes raging back.

Bloodlines matter to The Society.

They don’t forget. And they sure as hell don’t forgive.

Now they’ve come for what’s mine.

But I’ll burn their entire world down before I let them take her.

Release Date: September 21, 2026

In the remote Montana wilderness, a child has vanished—and time is running out.

When a fugitive accused of murdering his ex-wife disappears into the Montana backcountry with his nine-year-old daughter, FBI Hostage Rescue Team sniper Sebastian Black leads an intensive manhunt, battling snowstorms and brutal terrain in a race against the clock.

National Park Service ranger and search-and-rescue specialist Nora Deacon knows the mountains better than anyone. Alongside her K9 partner, Chance, she’s determined to find the missing girl. Nora is achingly familiar with what can happen when a child falls into the wrong hands.

As the search narrows, Sebastian and Nora are forced to work together in a fight for survival as much as a rescue operation. The closer they get to their target, the more dangerous the situation becomes—and the harder it is to ignore the attraction burning between them.

With a blizzard closing in, a desperate fugitive growing increasingly unstable, and a young girl’s life hanging in the balance, they’ll have to risk everything to bring her home alive—even if it means confronting secrets they’ve both worked hard to bury.

They call him the Steele Devil.

The man who turned his father's criminal empire into something almost respectable. Almost. Because the gunrunning never stopped. The bodies never stopped dropping. And the rules never applied to him.

They call me the Hamilton Heiress.

The recovering addict who survived her own destruction. The model turned businesswoman with a smile that hides scars deeper than skin. The daughter of his greatest enemy.

He shouldn't want me. I shouldn't need him. We shouldn't exist.

But Logan Steele doesn't follow rules—he writes them in blood.

And I was written into his story the moment I walked into his club.

Now there's a target on my back, a ring forming in his pocket, and a war brewing in the streets of Atlanta that will leave no one untouched.

The cartel wants me dead. Logan's enemies want me as leverage. My own father wants me silent.

Let them come.

In a world of monsters, I chose the deadliest one.

God help us both.

Cover Reveal - CLAIM by Tia Louise

Tia Louise has revealed the covers for CLAIM!

Releasing October 29, 2026

Austin Sinclair was always my forever. Even before our parents got married.

He was my handsome prince, my future husband, and my happily ever after from the day he arrived in our hometown with his mom, a scared preteen boy running from a bad dad. Those are the facts, and they don’t change just because our parents got married the year he left for college…

From the time I was a kid, football was my escape, my chance to be something better.

Coach Jack Bradford was my idol, the man who could open doors for me.

I never thought seriously about his daughter.

She was the little girl who rode me piggyback and told everyone I was her handsome prince, and we were going to live happily ever after. Every. Single. Day.

It was little-girl make-believe.

Now I’m back home, a football star, a single dad, and a widower.

I’ve achieved everything I set out to accomplish. Being the new head coach at my old high school is icing on the cake. I wanted to be Coach Jack, and on paper, I am.

The only thing missing is love.

But I find something more at home—a girl I can talk to, who knows me better than anyone.

She takes care of my daughter, who loves her instantly. She never stops telling me I’m worthy, I’m good. Then when I see her in that white bikini, I realize she’s right…

She’s not a little girl anymore.

But I’m eight years older than she is. I’m her stepbrother.

I have no right to want her this way.

Until another man tries to take her, and I realize it’s too late.

Kim Bradford is my queen. I claim her, and nothing is going to steal our happily ever after.

(CLAIM is a small-town, single-dad, age-gap, “will they or won’t they” football romance. It’s packed with yearning, angst, found-family, spice, and so much love. No cheating, no cliffhanger, no third act breakup, and a guaranteed HEA.)
