Roxy Benedict’s dream of opening a romance bookstore is coming true. Finally, things are going her way, until her new neighbor starts complaining that she’s too loud.

Grayson Porter loves his quiet building. But when a noisy tenant moves in, he’s left wondering if he can finish composing a soundtrack for a film. As a musician, this could be his big break. If he doesn’t get some peace and quiet soon, he’s going to lose his mind.

But Grayson has another, potentially bigger problem. He might have lied to the film producer that he had a girlfriend. When their landlord decides to set them up on a blind date for a party with the film’s cast and crew, the two are shocked and about to call off their date, until the film’s producer takes a liking to Roxy. Roxy sees her chance to win over her grumpy neighbor and Grayson sees a chance to impress a potential client. The question is: How long can this truce last?

And then, there is their apartment building. A mystery over a missing neighbor has Roxy and Grayson spending even more time together. These two neighbors are faking romance for their own benefit, but will the playing pretend turn into something more?

NEW RELEASE


SPOTLIGHT TOUR


THE DANTE (THOSE (DAMN!) TEXAS DANTES) BY DAY LECLAIRE


"Spellbinding, heartbreaking, tempting romance.  Leclaire brings the fire ... The Dantes are a captivating mix of drama and heart that is soulfully, haunting." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release Date: April 20, 2025

In the world of The Dantes, love isn’t a choice—it’s fate, decided by the emergence of a mysterious soul mate tattoo.

The Dantes are legends—ruthless, untouchable, and bound by destiny itself. When a soul mate tattoo appears on their palm without warning, it also manifests on the one person they are meant to claim. Meant to protect. Meant to love. But fate’s gift doesn’t come without a price. Because in their world, love is the greatest risk of all.

Titus "The Dante" Dante built his empire on strategy, control, and absolute power—but Jazz Mirabella is the one risk he never saw coming. Their chemistry is undeniable, their connection deeper than either of them understand. When their soul mate tattoos appear, Jazz should run. She doesn’t. She falls. Hard.

But Titus’s world isn’t built for love. When a billion-dollar deal is on the line, betrayal cuts deep—and Jazz learns the hard way that power will always come before passion. The Feds want Titus taken down. His enemies are circling. And the man she trusted just took her inheritance to finance his empire.

Now, Jazz has two choices: walk away broken… or outplay the man who shattered her.

But Titus isn’t done. Because he’s been playing the long game—and when the final move is revealed, it will either destroy them… or prove that she was always his endgame.

A high-stakes, pulse-pounding romance packed with scorching passion, devastating betrayal, and a twist you won’t see coming. THE DANTE will leave you breathless!

Note to Readers: The Dante is Book #1 in Those (Damn) Texas Dantes Series, a contemporary romance series by USA Today bestselling author and eleven-time RITA© (Romance Writers of America) finalist, Day Leclaire. This story features a hot, take-charge alpha hero and the perfect woman for him, and a sizzling romance between soul mates.

Of losing my heart.


She’s smart and sweet, beautiful and kind, and despite my determination to never fall in love again I know I’m going to make her mine.


But when her past catches up with her, the future I’ve begun to plan is suddenly at risk.


I might lose her.

WHEN I SHOULD'VE STAYED (RED BRIDGE #2) BY MAX MONROE


".....a bright light drowning in heartache.  Clay and Josie wrap the soul in little moments.  Endearing and heartbreaking collide with explosive results." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)





Release Date: July 1, 2025




When Josie and I said, ‘I do’, I thought it’d be us against the world forever. But I wasn’t expecting the world to be so against us.


I know I should’ve stayed that night, and I should have gone back a heck of a lot sooner.




Because I don’t know how to be here. I don’t know how to be anywhere.




Truth is, I don’t know how to be without Josie at all.




She might think we’re done, but I’m going to spend the rest of my life making sure we’re not.

BLURB


From USA Today and Amazon Top 5 bestselling author Harloe Rae comes a witty and heartfelt romance about a former baseball pro determined to head straight for home with the sassy single mom.

I'm willing to admit that I shouldn't read spicy scenes in public. But in my defense, the opportunity rarely rises elsewhere. As a single mom and farm owner, my time is stretched thinner than horse hair. Besides, I'd reached a pivotal peak in the story and couldn't put it down.

That is, until someone bumps into me. My phone launches into the air like a base hit, but the device is caught before smashing into the ground. It comes as no surprise, considering the guy is a professional baseball star.

Drake Granger isn't the boy I remember, but I could still pick him out of the roster while blindfolded. This charming man doesn't hesitate to tease me about what he spies on my screen. He also doesn't break stride before asking me out on a date.

But as previously mentioned, spare time isn't a luxury I possess…

Drake claims that whatever I'm willing to give is plenty. It doesn't take long to prove that's not the game he's playing. This pro is done striking out and headed straight for home.

Blurb:

Still married.

Those words change everything.

Now my should-be ex-husband, Ramsey Stockton, the former pro football star turned felon and hero who left this town—and me—behind years ago, is at my door offering me a deal with the devil.

If I let him stay and play his wife again for ninety days, he’ll give me a quiet divorce and his family ranch—the one my inn is on.

When I scoff at the idea, he offers a million-dollar bonus to help my business float through this rough patch, but only if I’m his.

Then he’ll walk away, and I can walk down the aisle with my fiancรฉ. Or I can say no and watch everything I’ve worked so hard for fall apart.

There’s only one answer I can afford to give him. But he knows everything about me—every hurt, every secret, and every single weakness I have, including him.

And while Ramsey might want me, his brothers want him back in the family business.

If there's one universal truth in this town, it's that Stockton men stop at nothing to get what they want.
