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.

REVIEW: SECOND BLOOM (THE PARENT APP) BY TESS THOMPSON 

Second Bloom by Tess Thompson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Second Bloom is a heartbreaker with heartwarming tendencies. Thompson pushes emotions outside of their comfort zone and delivers haunting romance. From irresistible characters to unpredictable circumstance, Esme and Grady are a sweet surrender I'd gladly experience again and again.

“Steamy and suspenseful, with a couple to root for and an evil villain to hate, [this] is the kind of romantic suspense I love to read!”—NYT Bestselling Author Christy Reece

He never planned to fall for her.

Now he'll risk everything to save her.

As a special agent--and a self-proclaimed bachelor--Brian Malone has rules that keep his life controlled and complication-free.

Until Tess Bingham.

Tess has sacrificed too much to gamble on a man with a reputation for being a player. She put med school on hold to raise her teenage brother, Andy, and built a stable life working as the medical examiner's assistant.

When a storm damages their home, Brian offers Tess and Andy the use of his family's beach house while repairs are made. Soon, he's checking in far more often than necessary--and pretending the attraction between them doesn't exist becomes impossible.

Then Tess disappears.

Now Brian isn't just investigating a crime...he's hunting the people responsible. 

Because this isn't just another case. It's the woman who won his heart.

And he'll break every rule to bring her home.

Tempting The Seal by Shaw Hart releases on April 7th!

https://geni.us/TemptingTheSeal

Available with Kindle Unlimited

Neither of them planned for this.

Fern:

I’ve orchestrated dozens of perfect weddings, but planning my cousin’s lavish seaside ceremony might be my breaking point.

Between demanding relatives and last-minute disasters, I’m close to losing my mind.

The only bright spot is the quiet, watchful man stationed near the doors.

The second I see Jackson, I forget all about floral arrangements and the stress of my job.

When he looks at me, I feel things that I've never felt before.

He’s a Navy SEAL, a man built for danger and discipline, and for some reason, every time I smile at him, his jaw tightens like I’m a problem he can’t solve.

I tell myself not to care, that a man like him would never be interested in me, but I can't seem to help myself.

I want the sexy SEAL.

I just have no idea how to make that happen.

Jackson:

I’m only doing security at this fancy coastal wedding as a favor to my friend.

The job is supposed to be easy.

Just smile. Scan the exits. Stay professional.

That was the plan… until I see her.

Fern, with her warm eyes, mouthwatering curves, and sugar-sweet smiles.

One look and I know I don’t just want a week with her.

I want everything.

Now I just need to convince her that we’re meant to be and that the next wedding she’s planning needs to be ours.

🔗 https://geni.us/SunUptoSunDown

Welcome to Saddle Ridge, where life is hard and love is wild...

Maddox

I'm no stranger to hard work. I've got a family ranch that's on the brink of collapse, a grandfather whose health is fading, and a laundry list of other responsibilities that demand my constant attention.

Every sunrise brings a new fight. There's no time to worry about what might have been with the girl who got away.

But it seems I've avoided Amelia King for as long as I can.

One reckless ranch hand making trouble at her bar is more than I can afford. Her outlaw cousin and his gang of gearheads won't take kindly to the mess my man has made. So I swallow my pride and head into town to make things right.

The moment I spot her, she takes my breath away. Still gorgeous and igniting that familiar fire in my veins, just the sight of her brings back all of my memories. But before I can grab a broom or write a check for the damages, an unexpected phone call interrupts our chaotic reunion.

With my grandfather's legacy now on the line, I'm desperate to preserve it if it's the last thing I do. We're facing an enemy with a dangerous connection to Amelia of all people, and they're determined to stop me no matter who gets hurt in the process. As the stakes get higher, lives hang in the balance, so I do exactly what my sister begs me not to. Forming an alliance with the Fallen Demons Motorcycle Club could cost my family everything. But there's something more dangerous than going into business with the outlaws: admitting I'm in love with their vice president's cousin.

https://geni.us/WhatLiesBetweenUs

She played a part for the mission. Falling for him wasn’t in the plan.

Gabriella Flores goes undercover at Devil’s Pointe to find the monsters who stole her sister. She plans deception and prepares for danger. What she finds is entirely unexpected: the one man who awakens something fierce and undeniable inside her. Her pretense is necessary. The fallout is devastating.

Rhys Langston built his life on control and precision, trusting nothing he can’t contain. When Gaby’s cover is blown and her past as a detective comes to light, he’s tempted to walk away—to protect himself. Instead, he steps in. As her partner. Her protector. And, for the sake of the mission, the man she must pretend to belong to.

Forced to work side by side, they follow the last fragile trail that may lead to Gaby’s sister—posing as something far more intimate than either anticipated. Every shared risk, every calculated touch draws them closer, blurring the line between cover and truth.

As the hunt closes in on a powerful enemy who plays for keeps, Gaby and Rhys must rely on the very bond that shouldn’t exist. Because when everything is on the line, it isn’t the truth that threatens to break them—it’s what lies between them.

About Maddie:

A USA Today and #1 international bestselling author, Maddie is a lifelong reader who became a romance junkie as a teen with her first romance novel, The Wolf and the Dove by Kathleen Woodiwiss. From then on, she was hooked, and gobbled up everything she could get her hands on, whether contemporary, historical, paranormal or sci-fi. If there was romance to be found between a strong alpha male, and a sassy, adventurous and ofttimes defiant yet loving woman, Maddie was all over it. As an author, she stays true to those themes writing steamy erotic romance, with a side of kink, and adding elements of intrigue, danger and suspense to her plots.

Maddie started writing as a hobby. Her stories stayed private while she raised a family and worked full time as a registered nurse. It wasn't until 2012 that she decided to take the plunge and submit her first book for publication: Captain My Captain. She went on to publish eleven novels the first year.

NEW RELEASE: ABDUCTED (THE BEAST'S BURDEN CHRONICLES #1) BY J.S. ASH

 

Abducted
J.S. Ash
(The Beast’s Burden Chronicles, #1)
Publication date: February 22nd 2026
Genres: New Adult, Science Fiction, Young Adult

Trapped aboard a living spacecraft hidden above her hometown, a teenage outcast must wage a one-girl war against ruthless alien mercenaries to save her best friend before the ship jumps into deep space.

A SHIP FULL OF ALIENS TOOK HER BEST FRIEND. THEY SHOULD’VE LEFT HER ON EARTH.

Abigail Ashby was raised to be a weapon by a dad convinced the world was on the brink of collapse. Then, inexplicably, he forced her into early retirement—aka high school.

These days, Abigail’s only battle is defending Harris, her outcast best friend who swears his parents were abducted by aliens. She’s secretly sure he’s delusional—right up until his bedroom explodes in amethyst light.

They wake up aboard the Beast’s Burden, an interstellar warship lurking above their town. Its leader, a sadistic warlord, seizes Harris as his prize, while Abigail slips away in the chaos—overlooked, underestimated.

Until she kills an alien to survive.

Now, hunted through the ship’s living corridors, Abigail must decide: retreat into the shadows, or unleash the lethal training she buried to wage a one-girl war and save everything she’s ever known… Because Harris isn’t just a hostage. He’s the trigger for humanity’s extinction.

EXCERPT:

“Wait—I’m sorry. Abigail, I didn’t mean that. Please don’t go.”

Abigail froze in her tracks, but it had nothing to do with Harris’s plea. An unearthly shriek had erupted, ricocheting endlessly around the room, and all the warmth had instantly drained from her body. 

“What is that?” she asked, ice surging through her veins.

Harris looked like he had seen a ghost. “I have no idea, but it’s coming from—”

With a deafening crack, four dark spheres shot out from underneath the bed and slammed into the corners of the room. Abigail watched, petrified, as the spheres oozed apart, spreading to cover the walls in a thick layer of disgusting sludge. 

“You’re seeing this, right?” she said, voice trembling. 

Harris nodded slowly, and Miss Biscuits started howling.

The ghastly sound reached a new ear-piercing level as the sludge began crackling with unstable amethyst purple energy. 

“We need to get out of here!” Abigail shouted. She dashed for the window, but the light glittering across its surface flared violently in response, and she recoiled, backing away slowly. 

The shriek was becoming unbearable. Abigail could hardly hear herself think, let alone process what was happening. 

“This way!” shouted Harris as he lunged for the bedroom door, but the pulsing glow surrounding the handle suddenly sparked, jumping eagerly to his outstretched hand. 

Amethyst purple light rippled through Harris’s entire body, shining beneath his skin. Abigail watched in horror as an unnatural smile slowly twisted across his face.

“Harris?” she said cautiously. 

Harris’s head swiveled toward Abigail and his morbid grin twisted into fear. The amethyst purple light erupted out of his skin, contorting him backwards into a jagged arch. His body was suddenly blasted onto the ceiling, held there for a moment by an invisible force before dropping sharply to the ground, the impact kicking up a cloud of dust from the hardwood. 

“Harris!” Abigail screamed, rushing to his motionless body. This was a nightmare. Everywhere she looked the amethyst purple light was encroaching—over the ceiling, across the walls, and covering the floor, inching right for them. Abigail scrambled to grab Harris under his arms and used every ounce of her strength to drag him onto the bed, only just avoiding the energy as it engulfed the remainder of the room’s surfaces. 

“Harris, wake up!” she shouted as she checked for a pulse. 

“Abby!?” came a muffled cry.

She strained to see Taylor pounding outside the window, an uncharacteristically horrified expression on his face through the amethyst-colored glare. He took a step back and then charged, but the barrier flared the moment his shoulder made contact, and he was repelled away in a shower of shattered glass. 

Abigail’s eyes darted around the room, her fear mounting as the shrieking hit yet another plateau. Blood pounded in her ears. “Harris, wake up. Please wake up!” she pleaded, her voice barely audible over the howling of Miss Biscuits and everything else. 

The sludgy spheres had re-formed in the corners of the ceiling and they were pulsing erratically. They seemed to be the source of whatever was happening—what was happening?!—perhaps they could be shut down somehow… But how? Abigail grabbed Harris’s hand, hopelessly begging him to wake up, and her fingers made contact with a ripple of raised skin—the scar. 

Abigail’s gaze snapped to the samurai sword hanging on the wall. Scrambling to her feet, she ripped it from its mount and unsheathed it. The gleaming blade appeared as sharp as it had all those years ago. 

“Abby! Abby! What are you doing?!” Taylor’s voice cut through the chaos. He was back on his feet just outside the shattered window. He was holding up a small metallic object that Abigail couldn’t quite make out through the amethyst refraction. She didn’t have time for this. The high-pitched shriek was growing more and more deafening, the amethyst-colored light burning ever more severely. Instinctively, she knew it was now or never. She had to disrupt whatever was happening.

She frantically scanned the spheres, her entire body shaking. Though she had no clue this would work, the one in the corner by the door seemed like her best shot. “You can do this,” she said to herself, but she didn’t remotely believe it. Gathering all her strength, she sprinted towards the edge of the bed, leaping into the air with the hilt held firmly in her grasp. With a loud clang, the sword sliced through the sphere, miraculously penetrating the energy barrier and lodging in the wall.

As gravity pulled Abigail toward the floor, time seemed to slow, and she watched the damaged sphere start to skitter in and out of reality, spewing sparks in all directions like it was about to explode. The blinding amethyst light and eardrum-bursting shriek reached their crescendos just before Abigail hit the ground.

She felt a surge of pure agony, and then, there was nothing.

Author Bio:

J.S. Ash has spent over a decade working in media at one of the largest tech companies in the world, though his true love remains storytelling. His creative DNA was forged in the 90s—a blend of blockbuster action cinema, console gaming, and the high-stakes melodrama of the era’s teen soaps. He lives with his wife and daughter, who serve as the primary inspiration for the resilient, protective heroines at the heart of his stories.

This omnibus contains all three of the Marked Beneath the Moon books by Lola Glass. These spicy romances each focus on a different couple with their own happily ever after.

Book 1- The Wolf King’s Mate

I’ve been abducted by the werewolf king. He’s deadly. Violent. Cruel. But not to me. To me, he’s almost nice. I guess it helps that I’m the only female werewolf he’s ever met. And that his wolf has decided I’m going to be his mate, whether I like it or not.

Book 2- The Wolf Prince’s Mate

I accidentally screwed the Alpha’s brother—and not the one whose wolf is determined I’m his mate.

Book 3- The Wolf Guard’s Mate

I hooked up with my twin sister’s brother-in-law under the full moon… and ended up mated to him.

I don’t take risks.

Not with my heart—and certainly not with my daughter.

My life is about hockey and being a dad.

Love isn’t part of the plan.

Then I hire Finley to be my daughter’s nanny.

She’s supposed to be temporary. Someone to help me get through the chaos of the season.

Not someone who matters.

Only…she does.

She makes my daughter smile again. Laugh again. Somehow she makes our home feel like a home again.

I know I shouldn’t want her. Know I can’t afford to fall for her—not when she’s going to leave at the end of the season.

Only my heart doesn’t listen.

I find myself in too deep…and wondering if I can risk it all for another shot at forever.

Emma Scott has revealed the gorgeous cover for 

Everything We Couldn't Say!

Releasing: July 28, 2026 

Cover Designer: Bloom Books and Antoaneta Lisak

They were supposed to be rivals. They weren’t supposed to fall in love.

Harper Bennett has fought for every inch of her life: for her dreams, her brother, and the roof over their heads. The Novus Science Prize is her ticket to a brilliant future, and she won’t let anything stand in her way.

Especially not Orion Mercer.

Golden boy. Heir to one of Castle Hill’s elite Big Five families, Orion is all effortless charm, endless jokes, and a future already written within a billion-dollar chemical empire.

But Orion isn’t what Harper expected.

Behind the polished confidence is a secret battle he’s been fighting alone and a musical talent no one saw coming. Harper sees through his mask, while Orion sees her not as charity or competition, but as the only honest thing in a world built on winning.

Late nights in the lab give way to shared music and unspoken truths, and their rivalry softens into something deeper.

Then a party ends in tragedy, a trusted mentor makes a dangerous offer, and when the truth explodes on awards night, Harper and Orion must decide who they are without the prize…and whether love is worth risking everything.
