WOLFISH PLAYER BLURB

Subject: Congratulations! We are thrilled to offer you an advance on your next book!

The moment I got that email, I swore my days of being a broke indie author were officially over.

I bought a new house, traveled, splurged on things I definitely didn’t need… and, um—kind of forgot to actually write the book.

By the time my deadline rolled around, I had almost nothing to show for it. My endless “Just need a little more time for my muse” excuses weren’t cutting it anymore.

So, I swallowed my pride and came clean—while hatching a plan to get “inspiration” and pay back some of the advance at the same time. The plan? Get a job at the very publishing company that gave me the deal, so I could:

1) Make money to keep a roof over my head.

2) Start repaying the advance.

3) Gather firsthand material for the office romance I was two years late delivering.

It sounded like a good idea… until I actually got the job.

Until I realized the CEO of the publishing house was an arrogant, cunning wolf in a bespoke suit—

The same man I told to f*ck off two nights ago.

The same man I may have thrown a drink on (but that’s a story for another day).

Now I swear being his so-called “intern” is an exercise in hell… and from the way he’s circling me, I have no intention of being his prey.




DEVILISH BULLY BLURB

Employee Satisfaction Survey Response

Answer: 0/10 stars. If I could give this a**hole CEO a negative rating, I would. He’s never been wrong a day in his life, turns our meetings into hostage situations, and I swear he cuts people off mid-sentence just to hear himself talk.

I thought employee surveys were supposed to be anonymous.

I also thought it was a great idea to fill one out after half a bottle of cheap tequila… instead of finishing the quarterly project he’s been hounding me about for weeks.

Turns out, I was wrong.

One week later, our CEO is in the middle of a boardroom speech about “transparency” when he pulls my survey up on the big screen—and reads it aloud, word for word.

Including my name.

I’m so effin screwed…

Firing me would’ve been the merciful option.

Instead, he decides to “make an example out of me.”

Now I’m his shadow—dragged into every meeting, roped into client dinners, and shoved onto impossible deadlines that mysteriously appear on my desk after midnight.

He says it’s a “lesson in professionalism.”

I say it’s punishment from a devilish bully with a very long memory.

And if hell hath no fury like a scorned boss, mine is about to make me believe it…

"The heart goes rogue and takes the senses along for the ride.  From smart and sassy to sweet and sentimental, Chasing Forever is a trip worth taking. Unpredictable finds it's irresistible side and never lets go." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Narrated by: Stephen Dexter & Vanessa Edwin




Listen to Chapter 1 of Chasing Forever HERE!

https://soundcloud.com/user-489215912/chasing-forever-chapter-1/





It was a fun Vegas getaway—until I woke up married to my ex-fiancΓ©’s brother.

After Watson brother #1 ditched me at the altar, I stopped believing in happily-ever-afters. So I have no clue how I ended up saying “I do” to Brooks—Watson brother #2—somewhere between tequila shots and bad decisions.

Okay, that may not be true.

Sheriff Watson has been a charming thorn in my side ever since his brother left our small ranch town in his rearview mirror. He’s a little too steady, a little too sweet, and way too intuitive because he sees through my facade. But no matter how tempting he is, he’s still a Watson.

I demand an annulment. He refuses, bargaining four real dates before he signs.

Fine. I’ll sabotage each one and keep my heart safely locked away. It’s easier this way because he has no idea the secret I’m keeping.

Of course, Brooks doesn’t go down easy—he has enough faith for both of us. He tackles my fears at every turn, making me wonder what would happen if I went all in.

But trusting the wrong man once nearly ruined me—doing it again might finish the job.

Release Date: August 19, 2025


NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding the Nashville Rampage football team. Run the Play is a fake dating, found family, workplace, he falls first romance.


Rowan


I swore I’d never look twice at a football player again, especially after barely surviving the last one. But when my abusive ex gets traded to the team I work for, my past shows up to haunt me.


Not a moment too soon, star player Landry Reynolds runs interference, announcing that he’s my boyfriend. My emotions get the best of me, and I find myself playing along.


He’s charming, bold, and way too convincing. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember that it’s all pretend.


I might be falling for my fake boyfriend, but I can never have him for real. I could lose everything I’ve finally found, and that’s scarier than having my heart crushed by the wide receiver.


Landry


I didn’t mean to get involved. I just couldn’t watch her shrink away from him a second longer—not after knowing what he put her through.


So I did what I do best: I ran the play and told him she’s mine. Now I can’t stop thinking about how right that little white lie feels. How right she feels.


There’s a good chance I was never faking.


This started as a way to protect her. I never imagined it’d be so hard keeping my hands off her. Then again, I’ve never been very good at following the rules.

#TeaserWednesday




Wild Card (Rose Hill) by Elsie Silver

“I’m gonna go make some introductions. You good if I leave you here?” Tripp tosses an arm over my shoulder, tugging me toward him in a side hug before dropping a casual kiss on my hair. But all I can do is watch Bash. Slashes of heat appear on his cheeks as his gaze follows his son. He flinches when Tripp kisses me, then he turns his head away from us.


I try to will the tension out of my shoulders. I don’t want Tripp to notice how uncomfortable I am. It’s not as though I’ve done anything wrong, but explaining that night to him? Any explanation would seem trite—it wouldn’t do it justice.


“Of course.” I nod quickly, a light tremor in my voice.


Bash’s brow lifts, and I see him peek at me out of the corner of my eye. Tripp doesn’t notice my discomfort at all. Instead, he just grips Bash’s shoulder and leads him away into the crowd.


To the outside observer, it would appear that I’m staring at the guy I showed up here with.


But they would be wrong.


I’m staring at his dad.
