He’s snowed in with his forbidden crush—his best friend’s little sister…

Single dad Jensen Webb is completely dedicated to his toddler, Henry, and the sweet, simple life they share in small town Trinity Falls. After losing Henry’s mom, the veteran knows how lucky they are to have a big, extended family all around.

But he has two regrets. And they’re both coming home to roost this Christmas season.

Jensen and his best buddy, Ransom Wright, joined the Army together after high school graduation. Both of them were eager to serve and to learn important skills.

So he shouldn’t have been surprised when Ransom’s baby sister, Willow, came to him a few years later with questions about joining up to become a nurse. After all, Willow always followed the two of them around with stars in her eyes. Naturally, Jensen encouraged her to follow her dreams.

And her big brother hasn’t spoken to him since.

Jensen has been home for a few years now, but his former best friend has finally wrapped up his own service and is coming home this holiday season.

And so is little Willow.

But Willow isn’t so little anymore. And from the moment Jensen lays eyes on her again, he’s afraid that if he’s not careful he’s going to make things much, much worse with her big brother.

When a massive storm leaves the two of them snowed in together, will Jensen be able to resist his feelings for Willow, and ignore the instant bond she forms with his son?

And if he can’t, will Ransom ever forgive them?

Trinity Falls Sweet Romance is all about finding family – one clean & wholesome romance at a time. The Trinity Falls Sweet Romance: Home for Christmas series celebrates a group of men coming home to a small Pennsylvania town at Christmastime, and finding love and meaning in the season.

Release DateJuly 15, 2025


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.

BLURB


Lars


I just found out I’m a dad.


My one-night stand dropped a baby bombshell in my local bar where I was celebrating my team’s win. Then she hoofed it, leaving me holding my new daughter. 


Thank God for Adeline. The daughter of my teammate and closest friend on the Chicago Rebels, she practically raised her little sister and knows exactly how to deal with this situation. I need a nanny; she needs a job. Problem sorted, right? 


Not so fast …


Adeline


I think you’re the sexiest guy alive.


That’s what Lars Nyquist overheard me say while recounting my embarrassing crush on him. Yeah, that Lars Nyquist. Defenseman for the Chicago Rebels. Owner of the thickest thighs in the league. More than a decade my senior. Oh, and my dad’s teammate.


My only option? Leave the country, of course. Luckily, I’d already planned a round-the-world trip with my bestie and by the time I returned to Chicago a year later, I expected my blunder would be long forgotten. Shows what I know. Now I’m lying awake in the bedroom next to his while playing nanny to his surprise little girl. But I can ignore this stupid infatuation. I have to. Even though the sight of Lars learning to be a dad leaves me breathless and takes that crush to a whole other level. 


One that has the potential to break my sorry little heart …

The Reluctant Flirt (Outer Banks #2) by Jennifer Probst is #nowlive!


"The Reluctant Flirt is a spicy sweetheart that tugs at the heartstrings. Probst puts every emotion on full display." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release Date: July 15, 2025


From New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst, discover The Reluctant Flirt…

Just one night…
After discovering her husband’s affair, Sierra Lourde flees to New York City for a little damage control—and a lot of wine. A tipsy night in a bar with a charming stranger seems like the perfect way to forget her troubles. No names, no promises, just one night to escape reality and regain her confidence. The next morning, mortified by her vulnerability, she flees without looking back. But who needs closure, right?

But one night changes everything…
Sierra has reinvented herself as the proud owner of Flirt, a trendy boutique in the Outer Banks. Life is good—until Kane Masterson, the man she left behind, walks back into town. And of course, he’s now the developer whose big new project threatens to bulldoze her beloved shop. Kane needs this deal to save his career (and his brother), but Sierra’s not about to let him demolish her hard-won success.
With sparks flying, sarcastic jabs turning into lingering looks, and a family wedding forcing them into close quarters, Sierra and Kane find themselves tangled in a battle of wills—and hearts. But now he has to choose: reclaim his career or risk everything for a second chance with the one woman he can’t forget.

📚THE RULE BREAKER by Elle Nicoll

🎤Duet narration by Madison Mitts & Theodore Zephyr


Listen to this billionaire, bodyguard romance now:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“Madison Mitts, the queen that you are! 🙌🏽 Sinclair is such a complex character, and Madi did an epic job at bringing her and all her feelings and emotions to life. And of course, Theo was the perfect grumpy, sexy bodyguard as well.” - xenymreads, Instagram

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“One would think after just reading Sterling and Halliday’s story, that I’d be prepared for Sinclair and Denver’s story. I was not prepared for how scorching hot this was, with the forbidden aspect of bodyguard and billionaire heiress/fashion model. He was guarding her body all right. 😏 he placed himself right inside it to make sure no one else could 😂😂” - lanelane04, Instagram

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“Theo and Madi are such a fun, dynamic, talented duo! I think I enjoyed these performances more than in book 1 and following them on social media is a hoot! You can tell they genuinely love what they do and work hard to build their craft and its unique to see them do it together.” - Annie, Goodreads

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“Wow, this story completely blew me away! The dynamic between the broody bodyguard and the spoiled princess was irresistible, the perfect formula if you ask me! If you're a fan of bodyguard romance set against the backdrop of NYC, this audiobook is a must-listen.” - daisy.readsromance, Instagram

He says he's here to protect me. I say he's here to ruin my life.

Listen to this billionaire, bodyguard romance now:

▶️  https://books2read.com/BBtherulebreaker


“I trust you with my life.

Now I’m trusting you with my daughter.”

Those were my father’s words the day he ruined my life by assigning me a bodyguard.

So, I had a few hate notes left for me, and my car was vandalized. It’s not a big deal.

Not big enough to deserve him, anyway…

Denver Layne.

A brooding, ex-special forces, six foot something wall of muscle who acts like having fun is a federal offense.

He says he’s here to protect me.

I say he’s here to ruin my life.

The giant brute barely speaks, unless it’s to bark reminders about his sacred duty to keep me safe.

And he watches every man who comes near me like he’s plotting their slow and painful demise.

At this rate I won’t have a social life to return to.

I need to get rid of the overbearing hulk. Fast.

It shouldn’t be that hard.

Not as hard as the grumpy, infuriating brute himself, who pins me against a wall one day, breathing fire when I break one of his stupid rules.

My father thinks this is a good idea. But if I’m going to survive?

I’m going to break every single one of Denver’s rules.

And I’ll enjoy every second of it.

Sawyer Kelmount's destiny is at the head of the pack, but becoming Alpha was supposed to happen much later in his life. Grieving the loss of his father forces him to slowly accept his new responsibilities, but as he steps up to lead the others on Wolf Ranch, he's haunted by his loneliness and the mistakes of his past. Surely this would all be easier to accept if his mate were still here.

Erika Morrison is happy with her life in L.A., but when she learns that Sawyer's father has passed away, she dutifully makes the trip home to Wolf Ranch to attend the funeral. Expecting Sawyer to be as distant and aloof as always, Erika is surprised that the new pack Alpha wants her help with the ranch's finances. And being near him again sparks the embers of an old flame that never really burned out.

As Erika sorts through the books for Sawyer to figure out what's really going on, one phone call forces her to make a difficult decision: return to L.A. or stay on Wolf Ranch and work things out with Sawyer once and for all.

She's a DIY witch with a demon lord to banish!


HGTV meets PWF when you read Hammers & Hexes by @author_brendatrim, out now!

🔗 https://geni.us/Hammers_Hexes




When you're known as the witch who helped banish a demon lord, career options get weird...

I figured why not combine my magical talents with my home repair skills? Saltcliff's got enough haunted appliances and possessed plumbing to keep me busy. Plus, it's the perfect cover for investigating that ancient creature we accidentally freed.
Here's the thing: this supposedly-horrific monster isn't living up to its reputation. It's leaving polite notes declining Council intervention and reading romance novels after hours at the library. Not exactly the rampage you'd expect from an earth-shattering terror.

While fixing cursed coffee makers and exorcising evil refrigerators, I've noticed some interesting patterns. The creature seems to be protecting certain couples in town. And the founding families' records have more holes than my first attempt at magical drywall repair.

Then I discover an artifact that could reveal the truth, but the Council is suspicious of my investigation. Good thing I've got backup in the form of a best friend with connections to Saltcliff's supernatural underground, a grandmother who treats magical demolitions like an art form, and a smokin' hot half-demon electrician who keeps finding excuses to "help" with my jobs.

I'm starting to think we got it all wrong about what's haunting this town. And the truth? It's going to rewrite everything we thought we knew about Saltcliff's history.

At least my new business cards look great. "Hexes & Hammers: We'll fix your home's supernatural problems without blowing it up." Usually.

Not everything that escaped the prison wants to run… some came back to kill.

When an explosion rocks Scorchwood Prison, we're called in to retrieve the escapees. But two names hit harder than the blast. My favorite dragon and my longtime nemesis are both missing.

When the bodies start turning up. Mauled. Torn. All signs point to a demon—not as a victim, but the attacker.

To complicate things further, a powerful witch disappears. One Eve knows far too well.

With a five-ton dragon prowling the city of Ravenholde and something darker stirring in the shadows, can we uncover the truth before it finds us first?
