Life separated us. 
Destiny tied me to her. 
Obsession drove me mad. 
I knew they all hurt her. What I didn't understand is how deep . . . 

Seven years ago, they ripped her from me—my father. The friends I made at school. Jealousy drove all of those bastards into conspiring against us. 

And they won.

I will destroy everyone who hurt her. 
I will find her. 
I'll become the biggest monster ever known to accomplish those things. 

I'm at the head of my father's empire now. A corporate king. I'm ready to finally put in place the plan I've been working on for years. 

I'm ready to find my Lexi. 

What I didn't realize is that she had already found me.

The First Love by Jennifer Bernard is now live!

Available on All Platforms

Who could ever forget that summer in Lake Bittersweet…

It’s been seventeen years since Carly stepped foot in the sleepy lakeside community where she experienced her first love…and her first heartbreak. Since then, she’s struggled with her confidence, which is why she’s shocked that her father, rock legend Steven Gault, chose her as the executor of his will. Besides dealing with his shut-down music club and mountain of bills, did he have a reason to lure her back to Lake Bittersweet…like facing the boy who shattered her heart?

Carly Gault. The girl who got away. The girl he gave away. The moment he sees her, Fire Chief Thomas Cooper is hurled back in time to the summer that changed his life. He made the choice to put his family first, but Thomas has never forgotten the passionate, loving girl with the smoky-green gaze. She’s more beautiful than ever—but since that summer, his family has expanded in a way Carly may never, ever understand.

As long-ago secrets come to light, passion reignites between Carly and Thomas. But will one last shocker make it all go up in smoke like the last summer bonfire?

Cover Reveal - KISS AND FAKE UP by Carrie Aarons

 


Carrie Aarons has revealed the 
cover for Kiss and Fake Up!


Releasing May 6, 2022


This summer was supposed to be an escape from the city and the demons lurking within it. Too bad the minute I arrive at the beach house I'm sharing with friends, the guy I swore I'd never talk to again in my life walks through the door.

Now I'm not only stuck hiding out from an ex who won't leave me alone, but with someone who screwed me over before he could even be considered an ex.

That's right, two years ago Campbell Whitlock double booked me on our fourth date. As in, had a girl show up to the table where he was feeding me off his own fork and barely disguising it as foreplay. Meanwhile, my head and heart had been completely on board to make our relationship more serious.

But a leggy blonde foiled that plan, and I've hated him on sight since. The ex-Marine turned millionaire restauranteur didn't even have the decency to follow me with an apology as I ran out of his own establishment.

It's just my luck that I'm forced to room right next door to my nemesis, who couldn't be acting more like a saint if he tried. And then the impossible happens; my ex hunts me down to deliver loaded threats and the fear I thought I'd left behind in Manhattan. Who is the only person to witness it? Campbell, of course.

His apology tour apparently extends to offering himself up as my fake boyfriend to scare off my stalker. While the plan is moronic and means having to spend more time with him, the danger I feel is real. Having a hulking, intimidating boyfriend, fake or not, might be exactly what I need.

With every passing day, pretend date, emotional gaze and midnight run-in, our relationship starts to feel less like a deal and more like something very similar to the connection I thought we had years ago. Even though I promised myself I'd never give him a second chance.

But what happens when the person protecting me starts to feel like the one I want to trust forever?
And how will I recover if his favor was done only to gain forgiveness, instead of a chance at falling in love?

New York Times bestselling author Corinne Michaels brings you a new small-town, brother’s best friend romance.

In one second, my life disappeared.

My past. My memories. My future.

The only certainty I have from the last three years is that my older brother is dead, and I am the only eyewitness.

In order to protect the case, the lawyers demand that no one give me any information about my life . . . I must remember on my own. My only help comes from my brother’s best friend and world-renowned investigative reporter, Spencer Cross.

He has no idea how many nights I’ve spent dreaming of his name—and his body—next to mine.

Now we’re a team and our goal is to recover my memories and retrace my past. But each day we spend together, he’s looking at me as more than his friend’s little sister and I find it harder to want my old life back. Instead I’m wishing for a new one–with him. His kiss feels like home. His arms make me feel safe, and I never want this to end.

As my memories return, forcing me to face my future, everything falls apart... especially when I find an engagement ring hidden in my apartment. I have no idea who gave it to me, or what it means about my past.

I may have asked Spencer to help me remember, but now I wish I could forget.

Release Blitz & Review - SECOND SHOT WITH #76 by Piper Rayne

 

Second Shot with #76 by Piper Rayne is now live!

My mom always said you don't get a second shot at making a first impression. I've remembered that my entire career. Especially since I'm one of the few black men who play professional hockey.

I'm calculated and respectful in the way I speak to my coaches, the owners, and the media. I've never taken a risk... until her.

I could blame it on the fact that for once I pushed away the pressure of my career for the ocean waves, the sand, and good times with my new teammates. But those are excuses because the minute I saw her at the airport, something lit up inside me and the best week of my life was spent with her in my bed.

After our week in paradise, we said goodbye, exchanged phone numbers and both assumed that unless one of us was flying through the other's city on the opposite side of the country, our vacation fling was over.

Then one night after practice I see her. She's here. In my city. Telling me she moved here for a job. If that's not fate tell me what is.

I've never wanted a second shot more than I do this time, but she's determined to leave what we were on the island we left behind.

Release Blitz - CALL IT FATE by M.E. Montgomery

 


Call it Fate by M.E. Montgomery is now live!



Call it Fate is a small town, second chance romance novel set in author M.E. Montgomery's all new Sterling Mill Series!

Living her life by color-coded lists has gotten Emalee through the past six years. With the support of her small family, she's raised her young son while bringing her ancestral bed-and-breakfast back to its original beauty and into modern times. She's comfortable with her role until an unexpected—but familiar—grumpy, green-eyed guest walks into her inn during a late snowstorm. But the weather outside isn't the storm she needs to be worried about; it's confessing the secret she's been keeping for six years.

Temporarily working in a small town nestled in the Appalachian Mountains was hardly how Zach intended to demonstrate he was the best applicant for a coveted internship. But if it proved his loyalty to his boss, he would do it better than anyone, then hurry back home for bigger and better things. He could have never imagined what was waiting for him in Sterling Mill, Tennessee: a parrot for a mayor? Thieving raccoons? Ridiculous, sure, but none of those compared to finding his old girlfriend and the green-eyed secret she'd kept from him.

Painful revelations. Renewed passion. If only there weren't new circumstances destined to separate them again, they might Call It Fate.

4 Stars

Are you read for this next book in the series? It can be read as a standalone but I feel the interconnected characters give us much more depth if they are read in series order.

Worried people won't believe her. Until Bryson arrives for a surprise visit while her brother is away on a case. She has always felt a closeness to Bry over the years.

Thankful for his mother her is close by as being an FBI agent can pull him away more than he likes. When is best friend calls and asks for a favor, keep an eye on his sister and check out a case, he can't say no. When he see Tinley for the first time in years, she awakens something that has been dormant for a while. But will Bryson cross the imaginary line?
