CAN'T GET ENOUGH BY KENNEDY RYAN


"Love on full display.  Ryan's characters force the heart to look beyond stereotypes and find the commonalities. From the spice of life to the heartache of romance ... Ryan never loses her ironic wit and the depth of soul that dares you to come back for more." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release DateMay 13, 2025


"Can't Get Enough balances brutal emotion, whip-smart humor, and delicious spice. Moving, romantic, and thrumming with life, this is Ryan's best work yet." ―Talia Hibbert

Hendrix Barry lives a fabulous life. She has phenomenal friends, a loving family, and a thriving business that places her in the entertainment industry's rarefied air. Your vision board? She’s probably living it.

She’s a woman with goals, dreams, ambitions—always striving upward. And in the midst of everything, she's facing her toughest challenge yet: caring for an aging parent. Who has time for romance? From her experience, there's a low ROI on relationships. Anyway, she hasn't met the man who can keep up with her. Until...him.

Tech mogul Maverick Bell is a dilemma wrapped in an exquisitely tailored suit and knee-melting charm. From their first charged glance at the summer's hottest party, Hendrix feels like she’s met her match. Only he can’t be. Mav may be the first to make her feel this seen and desired, but he’s the last one she can have. Forbidden fruit is the juiciest, and this man is off limits if she plans to stay the course she’s set for herself.

But when Maverick gives chase—pursuing her, spoiling her, understanding her—is it time to let herself have something more?

“Kennedy Ryan pours her whole soul into everything she writes, and it makes for books that are heart-searing, sensual, and life affirming.” ―Emily Henry

“One of the finest romance writers of our age.” –Entertainment Weekly

THE CHARMER (BIOTECH BILLIONAIRES) BY AVA RANI


"...a portrait of the heart that never stops evolving. From the uncertainty of life to the heartache of love, The Charmer sets it's own rules." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release DateMay 13, 2025



When a charming billionaire and a reclusive lawyer tie the knot to outsmart an inheritance scheme, sparks fly and unexpected love blossoms in this sizzling romance from Ava Rani, author of The Spare and The Heir.

Sometimes love outsmarts the best laid plans.

Penelope Chen-Astor ran away from the stifling expectations of her wealthy family in Singapore for an independent life as a high-powered Manhattan lawyer. But familial duty comes crashing back when her grandfather’s will demands she be married for a year to claim her inheritance. She’d walk away from it all, but her mother’s assets are at stake too, and this is the only way Penelope can see to protect her.

Enter Xander Sutton, the billionaire co-founder of investment group Dawn Capital. With his effortless charm and easy smiles, he’s used to winning hearts, but Penelope’s always proven immune to him. When she’s backed into a corner and asks Xander to masquerade as her husband for a year, he sees a golden opportunity to finally win over the only person who’s kept him at arm’s length—but the closer they get, the harder it becomes to play pretend.

What begins as a strictly business arrangement quickly spirals into steamy encounters and genuine emotions. When meddling relatives, corporate espionage, and high-stakes legal battles come into play, Xander and Penelope will have to decide if the inheritance is all they stand to lose when the year is done...

From the bustling streets of Manhattan to the serene beaches of the Hamptons and the skyscrapers of Singapore, The Charmer is the third and final novel in the Biotech Billionaires universe.

He spent years as an undercover agent,

bringing down his own family.

She was raised to hate everything his name represented.

Together, they'll uncover long-buried secrets that connect their families in ways neither expected.

DANTE

I dedicated my life to bringing down my brother’s criminal empire, sacrificing everything to expose the corruption running through my family name. The last thing I expected was to fall for Lark Gregory—the granddaughter of a woman whose family mine had destroyed generations ago. But from the moment I saw her at that coffee shop, I knew she was different. Now, as threats close in from all sides and long-buried secrets surface, I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her. Even if it means facing my own brother and uncovering truths that could destroy us all.

LARK

I was raised on stories of how the Castellanos destroyed my family’s legacy. The last person I should trust is Alessandro Castellano—no matter how much he claims to be different from his criminal family. But as danger circles closer and my grandmother’s closely guarded secrets begin to unravel, I find myself turning to the one man I was taught to hate. Now, with both our mothers’ disappearances somehow connected and old vendettas threatening to tear us apart, I have to decide if love really can overcome generations of hatred.

BOURBON SUNSET by @walker_rose_books releasing June 3rd!

Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…

💕Small Town

🔥Bachelor Auction

💕Enemies to Lovers

🔥Cowboy




Teller Bailey is the last single son in a Montana bourbon empire. He’s also arrogant, infuriating, and unfairly handsome with his beard and flannel.

Everyone in town loves him. Everyone in town detests me.

I’m “Mad Maddy” Townsend, the only surviving daughter of Bourbon Canyon’s most reviled family. I’m also mouthy, broke, and spectacularly alone.

I’ve wanted nothing more than to get away from this small town and their opinions of me since birth, yet I’m stuck here with nothing but a trashed dive bar and a shoestring budget to get it back in business—or my mom will be evicted from her nursing home.

But there isn’t a contractor in the county who’ll return my calls, at least without including a few four-letter words in their messages. My only hope for competent help is the annual bachelor auction featuring the town’s most eligible Bailey. The prize? One project completed for the highest bidder.

I must be every bit as crazy as this town thinks to bid on Teller. The man I can’t stand will be mine until I’m ready to serve my first drink. All I have to do is not fall for his charming smile, his unyielding support, or the way his name opens all the doors slammed in my face. I’ve never been treated so well, but I know how this goes. When this job is finished, he’ll ride off into the bourbon sunset—without me, just like everyone else in my life.

Readers who love Elsie Silver, Devney Perry, Laura Pavlov, and Lyla Sage will love Bourbon Sunset.

Why you will love this book…

🔥Opposites Attract

🔥Forbidden Love
🔥Summer Love
🔥First love
🔥Parent's story/origin story




Before ascending the throne of the Blackburn Empire in Kentucky horse country, they were just Tommy and Fiona, two teenagers from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Young love bloomed during an Irish summer set amidst the rolling green hills and lush pastures of Tipperary County.

Fiona Conlan grew up sheltered by her overbearing parents and vibrating with the need for something more. In the summer of 1978, she found exactly what she needed. Ready to test the boundaries set for her, Fiona trained in the exhilarating and dangerous sport of steeplechase, and in an even more rebellious move, started secretly dating a young and brash American she knew her parents would never approve of.

Too much partying and not enough studying during his sophomore year of college had Tommy Blackburn’s parents desperate to get the future heir of the family business to take life a little more seriously. What better way to do that than to send him to Ireland to work at Glenhaven, a massive thoroughbred and breeding operation run by a family friend. But Tommy’s wild ways followed him across the pond and he couldn’t help but pursue the beautiful redhead with fire in her eyes and a wild spirit just waiting to break free.

Tommy and Fiona fell hard and fast, a secret love built from stolen moments. Rife with drama and disapproval, they overcame it all to set the stage for a new generation of Blackburns to run their American Empire. Their epically romantic journey was anything but easy, but you can’t get to the present without The Past.

The Past: A Blackburn Novel is an opposites attract, long distance love story within the Bluegrass Empires series. All books in the series can be enjoyed as standalones.

#AudioAlert



Narrated by Connor Crais and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker





From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a small-town, forced-proximity romance with a grumpy, single dad, a woman on the run, and a stalker who won’t let her go...


After witnessing a crime, I ran.

For three years, I’ve hid from everyone.
I abandoned Birchwoods Spring, my home, my plans, and the life I planned to build.
I told myself it was the only way to stay safe.

But when my grandmother falls ill, I have no choice but to come back—even if it means confronting the past I tried to escape.

The moment I step onto my land, I feel it. The unease creeping in. The prickle at the back of my neck.

Someone’s been here. Watching. Waiting.
They know I’m back.
And they want me to know it, too.

I should leave. Pack up. Disappear—again.

Then I see him.
Hopper Timberbridge, my high school crush.

He’s no longer a gangly teenager. Now, he’s gruff, guarded, and fiercely protective of the life he’s built with his daughter. He doesn’t pry, doesn’t push—just takes everything in with knowing eyes that see too much. And when the threats escalate, he offers me a place to stay, a refuge I know better than to trust.

Because whatever’s lurking in the dark?

It isn’t just watching anymore. It’s coming for me.

Daddy demands you dive into this dark romance now...


Daddy Demanding by Sadie Minx is now live!!



He calls me his little doll. His favorite toy. His one true obsession.

For months, I’ve been unable to shake the feeling that someone was watching me. I assumed it was the police, tracking my illegal dealings in those dark New York alleys.

But it wasn’t a cop.

It was someone far, far worse.

He dresses me as he pleases. Forces me to perform for him and the other devilish inhabitants of this godforsaken island.

Whatever he demands, I give. Hoping that if I’m a good girl, maybe, just maybe this man I’ve come to know as Daddy will find it in his heart to return me home.

But with every passing day, I become less and less convinced that he even has a heart… unless you count the one I have reluctantly placed in his hands.
