🔥He falls first

🔥Star Crossed Lovers

🔥Found Family

🔥Second Chance

🔥Different Worlds

🔥Forbidden Love





The time is now.

I’d almost forgotten what it felt like to smile, to laugh, and to really live. Until I met him. 

Heart-stoppingly handsome. 

Totally forbidden. 

Keats Matthews looked at me like I was something special. 

He was escaping his past. I wanted to escape my present. Together, we fell hard and fast and knew we had found forever. Or so we thought … 

Six years later, his shoulders are broader than I remembered, his charming smile thaws my frozen heart, and it’s so tempting to run my fingers through his hair like I did years ago. But it’s the tenderness and warmth in his brown eyes that remind me of the forever we almost shared. 

It’s magic when we’re together again. Our chemistry has only magnified. Seeing him, confident and more irresistible than ever, has me falling for him all over again and hoping for a second chance. 

But he still believes our timing was off before. He’s wrong. It was the secret I kept hidden that was our undoing. Time hasn’t healed old wounds, and not everything hidden has come to light. When it does, we’ll stand together or fall apart. Either way, we must find out.

Gentry Parkhurst had been my everything—until I broke his heart. 

I’d loved my brother’s best friend since the day he caught me barefoot in a field chasing butterflies and dreaming too big. He’d loved me with a devotion that felt unbreakable. I’d believed we were forever…until tragedy shattered our world. When everything fell apart, I didn’t run toward him. 

I ran as far away as I could. 

Four years had passed before I set foot back in the small town of Haven Valley, convinced I’d left my past—and Gentry—behind for good. Imagine my shock when he’d been the one waiting at the airport, demanding I get in his truck so he could take me home. 

I’d expected hatred. 

I’d braced for indifference. 

I hadn’t expected to find Gentry living and working on my family’s ranch, sleeping in my sanctuary, occupying every space I’d tried to forget. 

No matter how hard I’d tried to keep my distance, we were consistently thrown together. Old wounds reopened. Buried feelings refused to stay buried. With every stolen glance and lingering touch, the truth became impossible to ignore. 

We’d never stopped loving each other. 

But some heartbreak changes you forever

HAPPY BOOK WEEK

HOW TO DEFY YOUR BOSS (The Ashford Brothers #3) By Leslie North is #NowLive!


"Irresistible...North perfectly blends sweet and spicy to get deliciously addictive. Passionate chaos that tickles the funny bone and melts the heart." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release Date: April 2, 2026

The Hating Game meets Ticket to Paradise—if the grumpy cruise ship billionaire you drunkenly married also happens to be your boss… and your new co-parent.

For one reckless, rum-soaked night, I decide to let my hair down.

I wake up married.

To my boss.

Logan Ashford is a cruise ship magnate with a spotless reputation, a lethal jawline, and an ego bigger than his floating palace. Cold. Controlled. Allergic to chaos.

I’m the ship’s daycare worker. Too sunny. Too opinionated. Too unimpressed by his cufflinks and control issues.

And somehow now Admiral Grump’s wife.

The plan is keep it quiet, annul it fast, and move on.

Except his six-year-old son announces our marriage to the entire ship like a human TikTok gone viral.

Now the press is circling, the crew is whispering, and nothing says “family-friendly brand disaster” like secretly marrying an employee.

So Logan proposes a deal. Smile for the guests. Hold hands for the press. Pretend our late-night arguments aren’t charged with heat.

The marriage is fake.
The arrangement is temporary.
And falling for my grumpy, infuriatingly attractive husband is absolutely not part of the plan.

…Right?

Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…

🔥Opposites Attract

🔥Protector Romance

🔥Close Proximity

🔥Primal Play Kink

🔥Good Girl/Bad Boy

🔥Exhibitionism/Voyeurism

🔥Dominant, Alpha Hero



He’s the man I can’t forget. I'm the client he can’t touch. But some rules are meant to be broken.

I’ve spent my whole life being a good girl, and where has it gotten me? Nowhere. So I do something reckless, just for me. I let my best friend drag me to The Players Club where I taste freedom for the first time…and a dark, intense stranger catches me watching what it looks like to truly surrender. With nothing but his voice and hands, he gives me the most explosive night of my life.

It was supposed to be one night of pleasure, until Tate Holland walks back into my life as my full-time bodyguard. Now, he’s professional. Controlled. Off-limits. But every look ignites me. Every command makes me ache. Every moment alone feels like one breath away from breaking every rule just to touch him again.

While keeping me safe, Tate sees the real me beneath the privilege. He challenges me. He believes in me even when my own family doesn’t. And I see the truth behind his walls, the darkness he’s too afraid to unleash, the guilt he carries. The man who thinks he’s too dangerous to love.

But I crave that primal side to him, and I want every piece he tries to hide.

When the danger escalates and betrayal strikes from someone close by, Tate becomes the one man I can trust with my life…and my heart. Now, all that’s left is for him to trust me with his. 

Playing with Surrender delivers a spicy bodyguard romance with forbidden tension, a protective alpha hero, good-girl rebellion, forced proximity, and a love story where surrender isn’t weakness—it’s everything.

Love Grows Wild by Winter Renshaw is #nowavailable in audio and digital.


"Love Grows Wild takes the long route to falling in love.  Renshaw turns heads and hearts with a sweetness that lingers."  - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)



#AudioAlert

"Samuels and Naudus are a haunting combination that sticks to the soul." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Narrated by Lee Samuels and Natalie Naudus






From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Winter Renshaw comes a small-town slow burn about a writer who returns to her roots and the farmer who helps her grow.


Wren Jensen thought she had it all—until she was left at the altar and left with nothing but writer’s block. Out of options, she packs up her five-year-old son and heads back to her hometown of Colton Valley, hoping the quiet countryside will inspire her again.


Hunter McCrae wanted that property for himself. The last thing the grumpy farmer expected was a single mom moving in next door—or how much she’d unsettle his carefully guarded solitude.


Wren isn’t looking for love. Hunter isn’t looking for neighbors. But with every stolen glance and shared moment, the walls they’ve built start to crack.


She’s haunted by heartbreak. He’s married to his solitude. Neither is ready to risk it all.


But sometimes love doesn’t follow rules. It grows wild, right where it’s not supposed to.

Loreth Anne White has revealed the cover for The Black Orchid!

Releasing: September 1, 2026





A propulsive true crime–inspired thriller of masks, murder, and long-awaited justice by Washington Post bestselling author Loreth Anne White.


By invitation only, nine elite guests board the luxurious Black Orchid for its maiden voyage through the mythic Aegean Sea. Not all of them will survive.


Poppy Buchanan, personal assistant to legendary war photographer Lillith McGregor, sees the cruise as her chance at a better life—if she can edge her way into Lillith’s will. But their exclusive company includes Lillith’s disinherited stepson and his ruthlessly ambitious fiancée, a silent Israeli businessman with a dangerous past, a charming Dutch antiquities dealer with an agenda of his own, and a retired FBI profiler hunting a serial killer he believes is aboard. Each passenger is a piece in a deadly puzzle decades in the making.


Within three days, their paths will collide during a catastrophic storm. Long-buried secrets surface. Masks fall away. And the ensuing revelations trigger a chain of events that leads to one of the most devastating maritime disasters in recent history. But the sinking of the Black Orchid is no accident—it’s a reckoning.

BLURB 


 


Frankie


The wrong side of the town is paradise compared to where I grew up. It’s all I’ve ever known, but that doesn’t make it home. 


 


When I’m given an unexpected out from that life, I don’t hesitate to take it. 


Except there’s a catch. 


 


Byron Benson needs a nanny. It’s almost comical that the grumpy single dad looks at me and sees someone trustworthy for the role. There’s not a maternal bone in my leather-clad body. 


 


But as it turns out, Byron isn’t in charge of the search. His little girl has big plans for me and her dad doesn’t need any convincing. 


 


Byron


I didn’t plan to raise my daughter on my own. Try as I might, even all the money in the world can’t replace a mother’s love.


 


Francesca Keller appears like a shadow, disappearing much the same. The memory of her tangles us in trouble and I’m not sure how we’ll escape. 


 


Until one day she needs a place to stay. 


 


My little girl welcomes Frankie into our home with wide open arms. What the ex-con gets from me is a lot less friendly.


Personalities clash. Loyalties are tested. But one thing remains constant.


Frankie belongs at my side, fulfilling the needs we’re desperate to satisfy, and I’m not letting her go without a fight.

Love Me Stalk Me by Laura Bishop is on KU!




For fans of Lights Out and You comes a dark rom-com debut about a woman who confides her fantasies to an AI boyfriend app—unaware she’s really talking to her hot, tattooed coworker who hacked her phone. 

When overworked department store manager Izzy Russo downloads an AI boyfriend app to fill the emotional void left by her inattentive real one, she thinks she’s just venting to a harmless chatbot named “Caleb.” In reality, she’s been pouring her deepest, dirtiest fantasies into the ears of Callahan Knight—her store’s brooding new head of security. 

Because Cal? He’s been listening. The moment he saw Izzy, he knew she was his. Did he hack her phone? Absolutely. But who could blame him? A woman like Izzy deserves to be cherished by someone who truly knows her worth—and he’ll do anything to be that man.

So when Izzy finally sees her boyfriend for who he really is, and the danger she’s unknowingly been caught up in, Cal is ready to protect her, no matter the cost. Even if it means revealing the truth.

She might not have meant to build the perfect man. But he’s here now. And he’s never letting her go.
