It’s bad enough I have to fly home for a funeral.

Not just any funeral either. My ex’s funeral. Where I have to give the eulogy.


Let’s just say he was an ex for a reason, and I’d much rather write a speech about his flaws than wax poetic about what a great person he was. But I just couldn’t bring myself to say no to his mom when she asked.


So here we are.


I just have to get through the funeral and then it’s a whole month of relaxing on the beach with my oldest friends.

But of course, nothing ever goes according to plan.


Entitled passengers, flight delays, lost luggage. Everything that could wrong went wrong. And I might have had a little too much wine and spilled my entire life story to the man in the seat next to me. The incredibly nice, incredibly sexy man sitting next to me.

It’s a good thing I’ll likely never see him again.


Or so I thought.


The stranger who awkwardly comforts me at my ex’s funeral? Airplane guy.

And I’ll give you one guess about who shows up at the beach house.


Kill. Me. Now.


This was supposed to be a relaxing vacation, but now I have to worry about how attracted I am to a man who knows entirely too much about me and only seems to catch me at my absolute worst.


Or maybe I’ll get lucky and he’ll be into hot messes.

NEW RELEASE 


SO RIGHT BY DARCY BURKE is #NowLive!


"There are so many irresistible characters, it's hard to keep track of them all. If the people don't pull you in, the emotions will." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)





“[A] heartfelt, family-driven series.”—Library Journal

Kelsey McDade realizes that her love life is one and done. Her last—and only—relationship left her broken and afraid and more than ready to be alone for the long haul. But sexy-charming vineyard manager Luke Westcott pushes all of her buttons in the right way and makes her wonder if she ought to try again.

In nearly twenty-eight years, Luke’s most successful romance has been with the outdoors. Currently single, he’s happy to pour all of his energy into his new winery until Kelsey provokes feelings he didn’t know he was capable of. He can envision their future together—if she’ll let down her guard.

When the ghost of Kelsey’s past causes her to slam on the brakes, Luke is ready to fight for her, even if it means sacrificing himself in the process. Convinced she’s only made wrong choices in the past, Kelsey must decide if Luke—and their love—is worth the greatest risk of all.

REVIEW: SO RIGHT (RIBBON RIDGE) BY DARCY BURKE 

So Right (Ribbon Ridge, #9)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kelsey needs to feel safe from the demons of her past. Luke wants her heart. Which is as elusive her ability to trust. Ms. Burke could not have picked a more beautiful setting for So Right to unfold. Picturesque wine country with the lush greenery, the fiery sunsets and the pungent aroma of the grapes on the vine. The imagery was like a vibrant image brought to life before my eyes. Surrounded by the beautiful atmosphere and the inviting arms of the Westcott family, will the fearful young woman succeed in regaining her independent spirit? Will love find it's way into her heart? With Darcy Burke at the helm anything is possible. There are so many irresistible characters, it's hard to keep track of them all. If the people don't pull you in, the emotions will.

We are thrilled to reveal this gorgeous cover for VEIL OF FIRE by Sara McClaflin coming June 12!



WILL BE AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED





Talia


I see the world in patterns — not to calculate my distance, but to understand the people no one else sees. I don't build walls. I build bridges. Even when it costs me.


So when the Society offers me a contract, one year as the wife of legacy billionaire Stellan Rothwell, I say yes.


His empire is fracturing from within. Someone close to him is leaking secrets, and I’m here to find the fault line before everything collapses.


I wasn’t hired to love him. I was hired to anchor him, protect him, and leave when the work is done.


But the longer I stay, the harder it is to pretend that saving him doesn’t feel a little like saving myself.


Stellan


I didn’t ask for a wife. I asked for containment.


The Society promised me someone strategic — polished, detached. A safeguard, nothing more.


Instead, they sent Talia Cerny — perceptive, unshakable, disarming in ways I didn’t see coming.


She studies without judgment. Moves through my world like she was always meant to find the cracks and hold them together.


I built my life around control. Around silence. But now, all I want is to hear her voice.


She came to protect the illusion of my stability.


Instead, she’s becoming the only real thing I have left.

Blurb:


The plan was simple: just me, my boy and hockey.


I’m the unapproachable NHL captain with a reputation for chewing up reporters in interviews, forwards on the ice and shutting down anyone who tries to get close to me. And that’s how I like it—no feelings, no complications, and zero chance of reliving the grief I experienced when my wife passed away seven years ago.


But sometimes the best laid plans go up in flames, and that’s exactly what Collins Mackenzie does when strolls into a bar one post-game night and gives me a taste of the cold shoulder I’ve bestowed on all those around me.


The only person she doesn’t dismiss? My boy. In fact, she lights him up with her pink hair and perfectly winged eyeliner, leaving him fascinated and me infatuated.


There’s only one problem: she’s nine years younger, convinced I’m not her type and doesn’t do relationships. She doesn’t even hang around in the same city beyond a few months. Trouble is, I want her permanence right next to me—on the couch watching movies and in my bed on lazy mornings.


I’m ready to chase her, no matter where she goes or how quickly she hits the accelerator. This girl is a ride I never want to get off.

Blurb:


The bond with my fated mate was broken before we ever truly began…


Learning that I’m a wolf shifter didn’t come as a surprise. I always knew there was something different about me. Finding out that my adoptive parents knew all along, right before they drugged and sold me off to my captors, convincing the world that I was dead, was the shocking part.


But a voice cuts through my despair.


Christophe Nightwolf reminds me of the dreams I have beyond this prison cell and our torturers mind games.


Even in this dark, cold, agony-filled prison he sees me, though we’ve never laid eyes on each other.


Christophe shatters my hopes for us when he tells me that he will never know freedom himself.


But I start to believe there’s a future for us when we’re rescued from that hellscape.


Instead, at first sight, it becomes painfully evident that our captors irrevocably destroyed our bond.


Or, have they?

If they want to find their balance, these two lonely athletes might have to lean on each other.

Tiago Torrn may be a championship fighter and the envy of all of Maltaffia, but his mateless condition leaves him longing for home and family. When the Midsummer Fertility Center arranges for Alexis to be his unconventional surrogate, he is instantly taken with the Terran ballerina. As their adventure brings them closer, Tiago is having a hard time remembering why he can't let himself fall for her.

From a tender age, Alexis Clare has given her whole life over to ballet. The beautiful art form dictates where she goes, what she eats, and how she spends each hour of her day. When an injury turns into a more serious health issue that keeps her offstage, Alexis feels lost. And when she learns she can't start the family she's always dreamed of, her sadness turns to despair.

Until she hears about an option to have her fertility restored in the most romantic place in the known universe.

This couple may not have much in common on the outside, but on the inside, they're two peas in a pod. At least that's what Oberon, the AI who runs the Center, thinks. But even Oberon may have trouble designing and implementing a plan romantic enough to overcome Tiago's trust issues and Alexis's guilt and bring the two together.
