I grew up on Wildhaven Storm Ranch, raised on hard work, determination, and tradition. Now I’m fresh out of college and chasing a dream that feels just out of reach—working at the historic Belicourt Resort Hotel while trying to convince my oldest sister, Matty, to let me turn part of our family land into a guest ranch and spa.

The Belicourt has a long-standing reputation for being haunted—full of whispered legends, unexplained sightings, and guests who swear they’re not alone in its halls. I think it’s charming. Mysterious. Marketable. My new boss, Porter Garrison, doesn’t agree. He’s all rules, rigid schedules, and closed doors, and he’d much rather I stick to spreadsheets than old legends and small-town folklore.

But I see potential in the past—in the stories people tell. And behind his cool, controlled exterior and expensive suit, I see the man beneath—the cowboy full of fire and buried passion he’s trying desperately to hide.

Maybe the hotel isn’t the only thing haunted. Maybe some dreams are worth fighting family for. And maybe, after the storm, we both need something to believe in—especially each other.

Nothing could prepare them for what was to come.

Kylie

I learned early in life that love isn’t just given, it’s earned.

Now I’ve decided love isn’t worth it.

At least that type of love.

Until him.

He was broken.

It was safe.

But then I went and did the unexpected. 

I fell in love with him, knowing he would never love me back.

Knox

I thought I had it all.

I was playing hockey in the NHL.

Three beautiful kids and a wife who loved me.

Until I walked in on her in bed with my brother-in-law.

Everything I thought I had was a lie.

She was everything I thought I didn’t want, and when I least expected it.

I just hope when I finally figure it out, I haven’t lost her for good.

READ THE EXCERPT:


“You’re so DIY,” she says.


“From flowers to headbands, sweetheart,” I tell her as I twist the stretchy fabric around her wrists.


“Everything’s a sex toy with you,” she says, glancing back at me since I’m behind her, adjusting the soft material around her hands, clasped behind her back.


“And everything should be,” I murmur as I tug on the material to make sure the hold is firm enough but not too tight. “How does that feel?”


“It’d be better with your d*ck in my mouth. Can I have that sex toy, please?”


“It better be your favorite toy,” I say.


“Guess we’ll find out.”


Heat charges through me, followed by my own laughter. This woman. She’s sexy and witty, caring and giving. Strong-willed and submissive at times too. If I’m not careful, I’ll fall hard for her.


*****

He rubs his chin against my exposed breast, the stubble from his short beard whisking across my skin. He’s sandpaper to my softness, and the contrast makes me squirm. Makes me want him. I reach for his chest, my fingers playing with the wiry hair on his pecs.

A grunt falls from his lips. He looks up, and in a flash he’s on the bed, straddling me, pinning my wrists down. “You trying to touch me?” he asks, but it’s not aggressive. It’s curious. Playful. Like he always is with me.

“I am,” I admit.

He lifts his chin. “You can touch me when I f*&k you.”

I shiver. From ribbons to words. “Now you’re really teasing me.”

He smirks. “I know.”

About IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA (Coming 3/3/2026)

Grumpy meets sunshine in this charming and hilarious forbidden small town romantic comedy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely! Where there's only one bed in the room...

I really don't need a bodyguard―I run a small-town lavender farm, for bee's sake! But I'm getting one anyway since my identical twin sister just booked the movie role of a lifetime and it's being shot in my hometown. And guess who my new broody, tattooed protector is? None other than the guy I had a one-night stand with last month.

Correction: he's the guy with the wicked mouth and heated eyes who ran out on me before the bang without so much as goodbye. And of course he arrives in my tiny hometown where the film is shooting right in the nick of time to save me from the paparazzi at the market. The coffee shop. The dress shop too. I'm trying hard to stay mad after the third time the sexy jerk rescues me.

To top it all off, he's staying in the cottage at my farm. With me. And there's only one bed.
Maybe just one night would relieve all this tension? But one night turns into another, and then into sharing hearts and secrets that are best locked up. Especially since he's leaving and I'm staying, and there's no way we can be more than a summer romance that ends far too soon.

Soldier's Christmas Promise by Clara Pines releases on March 17th!


Read With Kindle Unlimited




He made a promise to help her family, but he can’t help falling for the young single mom and her daughter.

Dalton Tyler made a pact with his best friend—to keep the family farm in Pennsylvania going if Andy didn’t make it home himself.

So when the unthinkable actually happens, the first thing Dalton does when he finishes his own military service is head straight to small town Trinity Falls during the holidays to fulfill his promise.

As the hours he spends outside working the land begin to soothe his troubled heart, he quickly finds that he feels right at home with Andy’s parents and friends.

But Andy’s little sister Ella is another story.

After losing her husband, the young widow and her daughter are back home living with her parents. And as they work together on the farm, Dalton immediately feels drawn to the young woman who bears the losses of her husband and her brother so bravely.

Teasing a smile out of Ella’s sweetly shy daughter, Dove, has become the lonely veteran’s favorite pastime. And he finds himself living for the moments when Ella stops her endless chores to share a quiet chat with him.

But Ella’s heart seems to be locked away from the world. And after her brother’s sacrifice and her double loss, would it even be right for Dalton to search for the key?

When a Christmas snowstorm descends on the tiny village of Trinity Falls, Dalton and Ella may be forced to face the feelings they’ve been trying to deny. And maybe Dove’s secret wish will come true…

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

Second Bloom by Tess Thompson releases on March 12th!

https://geni.us/SecondBloom

Read Now With Kindle Unlimited




She's been looking for the right man her entire life.
Everyone knows who it is—except her.


Single mom Esme Taylor doesn't do risk. Not anymore. She runs her flower shop in the small coastal town of Willet Cove, raises two kids, and never again depends on a man who might leave when things get hard.


But there's one man she lets close.


Grady Nash has been her best friend for five years. He fixes what breaks, shows up when she calls, and loves her kids unconditionally. He feels like everything she needs.


Which is exactly the problem.


Because Grady runs a surf shop, lives simply, and seems content with very little. To Esme—who needs security, stability, a man with a future—he looks like everything she can't afford to risk.


What she doesn't know is that Grady is hiding a past so toxic, he'll do anything to keep it from touching her life.


A past that comes with a fortune he's never claimed. A scandal that destroyed everything he was. And a truth that—if it ever surfaces—could bring danger and scrutiny crashing down on the family he's sworn to protect.


When buried feelings force them past the safety of friendship, Esme must decide if she can trust the man who's been lying to her for years.


And Grady must choose between the life he's built in the shadows—or risking everything, including her safety, for the love he's never stopped wanting.


Because some secrets are kept to protect the people we love.
And some will test whether love is strong enough to survive the truth.


A clean and wholesome friends-to-lovers romance set in a small coastal town from USA Today Bestselling author Tess Thompson.

📣Headphones On For A Sample Of…

📚Endless Pursuit by Bethany Rosa


"...the kind of heartache that sticks to the soul." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)


🎤Narrated in Duet by a Full Cast:

 Teddy Hamilton, Savannah Peachwood, Ava Erickson, Aaron Shedlock, Vanessa Edwin, Aiden Snow, Michael Gallagher

▶️Listen to this enemies-to-lovers, hidden identity romance now: 

https://amzn.to/4ksDugi




Poppy thought she was falling for two men.

 She never expected them to be the same one.


What to Expect:

🖤 Player to Lover

💖 Golden Retriever Energy


🖤 Alpha in the Bedroom


💖 Enemies to Lovers


🖤 Virgin FMC


💖 Hidden Identity


Sometimes your perfect match comes disguised as your worst nightmare.


Poppy Whittaker’s goals are simple: find a man, get married, have babies, and live happily ever after. Braden Butcher does not even come close to being suitable—infuriating, inappropriate, and absolutely impossible. If only she could stop running into the arrogant, sinfully handsome stranger who seems determined to push every button.



Braden the ‘Butcher’ never loses—in the courtroom, or in bed. The jaded, ruthless divorce attorney who has women falling at his feet doesn’t do love. One night stands? Absolutely. Relationships? Not a chance. Poppy Whitaker is everything he steers clear of—reserved, inexperienced, and absolutely immune to his notorious charm. But the fiery redhead who shoots down his every line is a challenge he can’t resist.



What starts as one night of passion spirals into something neither expected. Poppy soon finds herself torn between two men—Braden, who’s charmingly persistent, and Owen, who checks all her boxes. But what will happen when she discovers they’re one and the same?



Deception. Desire. And the Endless Pursuit.

Audio Review: Endless Pursuit by Bethany Rosa

Narrated in Duet by a Full Cast:

Teddy Hamilton, Savannah Peachwood, Ava Erickson, Aaron Shedlock, Vanessa Edwin, Aiden Snow, Michael Gallagher

Fire and ice can melt a heart. Endless Pursuit pushes the boundaries of emotion with sassy dialogue, sultry romance and captivating storytelling. Rosa gives voice to two irresistible characters that are hauntingly, flawed, yet endearingly, mesmerizing. With powerful narration and a passionate connection, Poppy and Braden are the kind of heartache that sticks to the soul.

HAPPY BOOK WEEK 

Lyrics Remain Unchanged by Claudia Burgoa is #nowavailable!
MMF Best Friend's Little Sister Romance

https://geni.us/LyricsRemain

Available With Kindle Unlimited




Book 2 of the heartbreak mixtapes series, a nostalgic romance


From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a high-heat, high-angst rockstar-billionaire MMF romance with a lie big enough to save a life—and a second chance at HEA.

Fall 2000, New York—I disappear.

Headlines circle like vultures, but only two men know the truth:
Eddie Reznor, who makes problems vanish and lets his guard fall only for me, and Barret Hetfield, the bright-but-bruised rockstar Eddie once rescued . . . and never stopped loving.

We hide while the city gossips. We let the world believe I’m gone so I can finally breathe.
In the quiet, we re-learn the shape of us—therapy that holds me together, small rituals, guitar chords, and midnight tea.

My body is relearning trust under hands that listen and a voice that won’t let me disappear.
Eddie is the line I hold. Barret is the spark.

I want to choose both.

Their plan keeps me alive. Their heat keeps me fierce.
And love like this won’t stay secret.
When the façade cracks and the cameras close in, I have to choose: keep vanishing, or step into the light with the two men who are already home.

This time, the melody is different. But the lyrics remain unchanged.

HE'S RUGGED. HE'S RUTHLESS. AND HE'S... RESURRECTED.

The next installment of Forbidden Pleasures Mountain by #AuthorSadieMinx releases March 31.

https://geni.us/DaddysBrokenBride




Twenty years ago, I watched them put the only boy I’ve ever loved in the ground. And I buried my heart with him.

But now he’s back. No longer a boy, but a man, even stronger and fiercer than I remember.

He says he can’t allow me to return home. That I know too much, that I’ll be in too much danger if I leave.

When I try to run, he just drags me back, punishing me in increasingly painful and humiliating ways. Stripping me bare in front of this depraved altar as he says the vows he believes will bind us together for eternity.

But I can’t give in. Can’t give him the obedience he demands of me.

Because there are two things I know with absolute certainty to be true: The people we love always leave us.

And that losing him again will shatter me beyond repair.

'Til death do we part.
