HAPPY BOOK WEEK

Bright Dead Things by Hailey Turner is now live on audio!

Narrated by: Gary Furlong 




If the forest stares back at you, you’re already prey.

Bran Gallagher grew up with three rules passed down through his coven: beware forest paths that lead to dangerous mounds, always keep iron close, and never speak of magic.

Cillian Dunne grew up with his mother’s love, his father’s absence, and secret warnings to never trust a witch.

In Pelham’s forest, where bright lights haunt the trees and hunt the lost, there are traditions kept for survival and others out of habit, none of which should be broken.

Bran and Cillian unknowingly broke tradition and ruined each other in the aftermath of a kiss years ago. Reunited in the wake of a family tragedy, they cross paths with something old, something terrifying—something that wants them dead. When Bran’s younger sister is stolen away by a nightmare into the Otherworld, they can only follow and try to keep each other alive in a strange and haunting land.

Trapped in a dangerous Fae Court, Bran learns being a witch comes with a death sentence. To save him, Cillian must fight against those who seek power from a past he has no memory of, and the only person he can trust is the witch who broke his heart.

But it might be too late.

For the Fae have never been kind, and they have always hungered, and this time, what they hunger for is revenge.

They call him The Mad One.

A cocky hotshot on the racetrack.

While I’m not a fan, we do agree on one thing:

Maddox Hartley doesn’t want me in his life.

Shadowing a recently retired racing champion for six weeks is a far cry from investigative journalism.

But when your editor benches you, you make the consolation assignment count.

Because my job isn’t just a paycheck, it’s justice for my brother.

I’ll play along. I just didn’t expect him to be so hard to resist.

And the more time I spend in his orbit, the harder it is to remember why I can’t let myself want him.

A reporter falling for her subject only ends one way—in ruins.

I know better.

Once my article runs, I’ll leave Winslow Grove behind.

What I don’t realize yet is the story was never on the line. It's always been my heart…

He’s a charming Coconut Beach bartender allergic to forever. I’m the

runaway bride with a ticking marriage deadline I can’t ignore…

Cal Bennett was supposed to be a solution.

I need to be married before my thirtieth birthday or I lose my family’s billion-dollar company. He

needs nothing from me except honesty and maybe a little fun. So we make a deal.

A pretend marriage.

Simple.

Temporary.

Safe.

Fake.

Except there’s nothing fake about the chemistry between us.

🎤Dual Narration Performed By Marcio Catalano & Vivienne LaRue


Branscom finds a way to break a heart without ever losing her sense of humor. Catalano and LaRue mix heavy emotion with over the top fun. Cal and Silvie are masterful at pushing boundaries and stirring up trouble, but clueless when it comes to listening to their hearts.

#NewRelease


#Spotlight




My Forever Girl by Laura Pavlov is #NowLive!


#AudioAlert





Duet Narration performed by: Connor Crais & Savannah Peachwood


"....a chance to revisit old friends and discover new romance.  Cutler and Gracie seduce emotions with a sweetness that lingers on the soul.  Love takes a stroll down memory lane to get to the heart of the matter." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)



Release Date: June 2, 2026

Model/Ebook Cover Designer: Hang Le

Photographer: Regina Wamba





Gracie Reynolds and I have been best friends since we were kids.
She’s smart, kind, funny, beautiful—and one of the best parts of my life.
When Gracie walks into a room, people notice.
I always notice.

But when she moved across the world with a guy I despised, it felt like I’d lost a piece of myself.
I missed her in ways I still can’t explain.

Now she’s back— and she’s crashing at my place for a couple of months while she figures things out.
She’s single and ready for a fresh start.
I’ve always had her back, and that hasn’t changed.

What has changed?
The way that she looks at me.
The way I can’t stop looking at her.
So, when Gracie makes me a once in a lifetime proposition—obviously, I'm all in.
But this isn't your average gray area—it's a full-on, sweat-inducing, five chili pepper detour we never meant to take.

Gracie has big dreams though, and I’d never be the guy to hold her back.
Even if all I want…is to be the reason that she stays.

Sawyer


From the first moment I sit next to the sexy suit on the plane, the butterflies in my stomach have nothing to do with turbulence and everything to do with the way he’s looking at me.


When we land, he gives me his number, and I promise to call. Before I get the chance, we meet again.


It turns out he’s my new boss and nothing like the gentle stranger from the plane.


The longer I’m with Royce, the more I realize he has many layers, and I want to uncover them all one by one.


If only he would let me in.


Royce


Being CEO requires all of my focus, but I can’t stop thinking about the gorgeous woman from the plane with the gorgeous blonde hair and striking green eyes.


Sawyer Gibson is beautiful, intelligent, and very much off-limits. A line I shouldn’t cross.


Until I do… and there’s no going back.


I want all of her, but she deserves more than my hardened heart can give.


No matter how hard I try, I can’t escape her.

He’s my best friend’s brother. 

My billionaire boss.

 And now… my fake husband

I walked into his restaurant needing a paycheck.
Now I’m his fake wife.
And if I’m not careful, I might just fall for the man I hate.

James Hamilton is grumpy. Emotionally unavailable. Impossible to reach.
He’s also my best friend’s brother.
The man who broke my heart without even trying.
Now he’s a world-famous chef. Well known for his brilliance.

Working for him is my chance at the career of my dreams.
But when he calls me out in front of his entire staff.
I decide to leave.
But James stops me with an offer I never saw coming.
A marriage of convenience to secure the future of his culinary empire.

In return, he will pay off my debts and help my family.
I should refuse.
Instead, I say yes.

His rules are simple.
This is a contract.
There will be no feelings.
No expectations.
No future.


I agree to keep things strictly professional.
But the longer I share his home and answer to the title of his wife, the harder it is to pretend this is just business.

And when he lets me see the man behind the reputation,
I start to wonder if this fake marriage is the most real thing I have ever known...

Welcome to The Hamiltons. A new emotional romance series from international bestselling author L. Steele, where strong women go toe-to-toe with powerful billionaires… and love never follows the rules. This is James and Harper's story.

REVIEW: THE UNWILLING BRIDE (THE HAMILTONS #1) BY L. STEELE


The Unwilling Bride (The Hamiltons, #1)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A book boyfriend worth sinking your heart into. From spicy temptation to sweet romance, Harper and James blow the soul wide open. Steele turns complicated into irresistible. The Unwilling Bride burns up the senses with a hero that is uniquely alpha and heroine that dares to speak her mind. A sensually, haunting kaleidoscope that blurs the line between heartache and heartwarming.

"He’s the man who is about to teach her that the most dangerous place to be is near him." 🐆🖤


"I’m not the man for you."


 The Unwilling Love (The Hamiltons) by L. Steele is HERE!


"It's not the words but the feelings they emote.  From the heat of passion to the soul of romance, The Unwilling Love is the start of something new." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)







James Hamilton is a Royal Marine who has seen the darkest parts of the world, and he’s determined to keep Harper away from his shadows. But Harper isn’t looking for a perfect hero—she’s looking for him.


****


James Hamilton is the definition of off-limits. He’s cynical, jaded, and way too protective of his sister’s best friend. But when the air crackles between them, it’s clear his instincts are anything but brotherly.



READ THE EXCERPT: 📖


“He cups my cheek and lowers his head. I close my eyes, tip up my chin, and feel the warmth of his breath on my cheek, on my lips. Then just like that, it’s gone. And so is his touch.


I snap my eyes open, to find him looking at me with a tortured expression in his eyes. 'I can’t, Harper... someone who’d taint your innocence, someone who’d drag you down into the darkness with him. I’m not the man for you.'


'But what if you were?' I swallow. 'What if you were the man I was waiting for.'”





Don't miss this emotionally charged, slow-burn prequel to The Unwilling Bride!

The Unwilling Love (The Hamiltons #0.5)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It's not the words but the feelings they emote. Steele seduces with feelings. Her characters aim for the senses but wreak havoc on the heart. From the heat of passion to the soul of romance, The Unwilling Love is the start of something new.
