Emeline

Seven years.

That’s how long it’s been since I last came face-to-face with Levi Tucker. He’s my older brother’s best friend, and the man I’ve loved for as long as I can remember. Now he’s back in River Falls, along with his young son, Rhett, and suddenly they’re woven into both my personal and professional life.

The last thing I expected was the wild, undeniable pull between Levi and me to turn something strictly professional into something deeply personal. But Levi’s past is closing in, and this time, I refuse to walk away. I’m ready to fight for the life and the love I want, because both Levi and Rhett Tucker are worth the battle.


Levi

Tragedy brings my son, Rhett, and me back to River Falls, Colorado. After losing my daughter in a devastating car accident and watching my marriage fall apart, returning home feels like my last chance to start over.

When I’m roped into volunteering at the Wilde Family’s summer camp for underprivileged kids, the last person I expect to fall for is my best friend’s younger sister. For the first time, I can see a future filled with love and happiness for my son and me. Yet when my soon-to-be ex-wife reappears in River Falls, everything I’ve begun to build is suddenly at risk.

Will the past destroy our second chance, or will true love finally get its happily ever after?

Release Date: January 20, 2026

From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author, Kelly Elliott, comes a new series that takes us back to her roots. Introducing the Love is a Cowboy series.

Ladd
As the son of a third-generation cattle rancher, it's expected that I would follow in the footsteps of my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather and work the family ranch just as they did.

However, that wasn't my dream, and thankfully, my parents stood behind me when I told them I wanted to open a sporting goods store in our hometown of River Falls, Colorado. That's my plan. My endgame, and nothing is going to distract me from that goal.

Then, I met Vivianne Pennington. It soon becomes clear to me that Vivianne is now a part of my dreams, and when I bring her home for Christmas, my entire family and the town of River Falls fall head over heels in love with her.

Vivanne
I've gone and found myself in love with a cowboy from a small town in Colorado. When Ladd's mother and father insist that I come and spend Christmas with them on the family's cattle ranch, I'm both excited and nervous.

It becomes clear to me that Ladd's family has deep roots in the community and a family bond I've never experienced before. Estranged from my own parents, I long to be a part of the Wilde family and start to see myself living on the ranch and being a part of the community.

But I'm keeping a secret from my past. A secret that I'm terrified will destroy the future I envision, and I'm scared to lose the wild cowboy who has stolen my heart.

What can I say about my children? They’re wonderful and exasperating—and they’ve driven away every nanny I hired. With my ex-wife long gone, I’m just trying to keep my head above water, at work and at home.

Then the nanny agency calls with brilliant news. They’ve found someone to care for my kids.

Unfortunately, Jennifer Cordell is beautiful and sexy, and I haven’t had sex in years. Yes, that’s right—years. My children adore her immediately, which means I can’t send her packing.

I have a feeling the Murgatroyd family is about to get even wilder.

One Hot Daddy is the thirteenth book in the Hot Brits series of romantic comedy.

#Excerpt


She’s not in her usual uniform. No crisp blouse, no blazer. Just jeans and a copper T-shirt. She looks... distracting. Too distracting. The jeans hug her hips and legs in a way that makes it hard to think straight. And the T-shirt? Soft, worn, clinging. I shouldn’t be noticing these things. But I do.

I have an entire system of mental blocks set up around not noticing these things. It’s impossible to never notice her of course. Despite my best efforts, I’m only human. You can’t work with a woman nearly every day for … what was it she said? Nine year?

Well, nine years is a long time to not notice a woman. To not memorize the slope of her neck or the fine texture of her hair. To not learn the scent of her. 

Still, when we’re in the office and she’s dressed in a suit, it’s easier to not notice her. Here? In my home? Wearing jeans and t-shirt? The usually difficult task of not noticing one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever encountered is nigh impossible. Especially when she’s looking at me with such fierce intensity. Glaring, really.

She must be wondering why I’m just staring at her. 

"You don’t usually dress so... informally," I say, my voice gruffer than I intend.

"We’re not in the office. I’m not wearing a suit." She waits a beat. Again with that expectant air. “Is that all you’re going to say?”

“About how you’re dressed?”

She blinks, shakes her head in a way that makes me think we’re having two different conversations. “No. Not about my clothes. About your fiancée. You don’t have anything else to say about that?”

Now it’s my turn to stare blankly. Yep. Definitely two different conversations.

“Kitty and my relationship with her are irrelevant to the situation at hand.”

“The situation at hand being…” She lets her words trail off in an unspoken question.





Reina Huffman has been in love with her boss for years.

Not that she’s ever told him. Derek Messina—brilliant, exacting, infuriating—barely notices anything outside of work. Or so she thought. Then she learns two things in one day:

He’s just become a single dad.


He’s proposing to another woman.


That’s it. She’s done being the loyal assistant who quietly keeps his world spinning while her own heart breaks. 

Derek doesn’t do feelings.

But the thought of Reina walking away hits him like a wrecking ball. He needs her—her sharp mind, her steady presence, the way she makes everything make sense. So he strikes a deal: stay long enough to teach him how to be a father, and he’ll make it worth her while.

But late nights with a baby, stolen glances across conference tables, and one too many almost-kisses blur the line between professional and something else entirely.

Derek’s finally realizing what’s been in front of him all along.

And Reina? She’s about to find out what happens when the boss who never loved anyone decides he’s not letting her go.


REVIEW: MY WORST MISTAKE (TEXAS DIAMONDS) BY EMMA LEE JAYNE

My Worst Mistake (Texas Diamonds Book 3)
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

From funny to frustrating to fabulous. Emma Lee Jayne brings sassy and sexy together with tempestuously, endearing results. My Worst Mistake is a reminder of what makes romance great. Addictive stories, irresistible characters and unforgettable personality. Well done.

NEW RELEASE SPOTLIGHT: FLIGHT BY L. THEODOORA

 




#NewRelease

Flight
L Theodoora
Publication date: November 14th 2013
Genres: Adult, Romance, Science Fiction

Piper Madden used to be an Ace Harpy Hunter, but after the death of her brother, she’ll do anything to leave that life behind. She flees to the fringe underground zone called the Rift to live out her exile on her own terms.

But the authoritarian Elder Corporation isn’t about to let one of their best assets slip through the cracks. Piper is drawn back into the fray on a contract basis to combat a rising Harpy insurgence. As she struggles through her grief, she’s caught between her old life in Central and her new, confusing existence in the Rift.

With the president of Elder Corp asking Piper to spy on his sister, navigating the surprisingly passive strategies of the Rift, and a strange friendship with the mysterious Asher, Piper’s days are filled with more questions than answers.

Then, a chance encounter leaves Piper privy to a dangerous resistance plot, and as she and Asher team up in an effort to unravel the truth, the secrets they uncover beneath the ancient walls of the dead city will spark their world into a grand-scale war.

EXCERPT

It burns.

Wisps of smoke fill my mouth as I struggle to inhale, grasping the edges of my lungs until I let out a violent cough. I grope around the charred floor, unable to see, until my fingers brush his warm skin. Asher.

I force my eyes open, the thick smoke clouding them with hot tears. Asher lies beside me, sprawled across the crackling wooden floor. His eyes are dark, as though they’re filled with liquid black ink. He pulses, his jaw clenching as ebony wings slowly, painfully, rupture from his back, tearing through his skin. I reach my hand to grip his arm, avoiding the scattered debris.

“Ash?”

The flames lick up the walls around us to quell their hunger. Asher flinches when he sees me, slowly backing away as though I’m a stranger. Shit. The drugs have started working, which means I’m going to forget him, too. I wipe thick sweat from my face, crawling toward him and clutching his shirt tightly. If he moves, I’ll move with him. It’s dangerous, but I can’t let him go.

Not yet.

“Asher! It’s me!” I shout. “It’s Piper. Please. You know me.” I ignore the threat of his razor-sharp talons and wrap my arms around his wiry body. His scent, a mix of crisp cedar and musk, lets me cling to previous moments of us: his hands on my body, his lips caressing mine, staring at the stars and talking about the universe, our bodies flying high above ground. Moments I can’t forget.

“Please,” I whisper fiercely, “please remember me.” His body trembles, but he fights through it, stopping himself from tossing me aside. Just for a moment, his eyes fade back to their natural light blue, and he grabs my shirt forcefully. He buries his face into my neck like he’s breathing me in for the last time, and we cling to each other as the beams of the building crackle and come apart, sending showers of sparks raining around us.

“Piper,” he whispers. He pushes me back to arm’s length, grunting as he struggles to stay with me. Something stronger, something darker is trying to pull him under, and there’s only so long until he falls into its depths. It won’t be long now.

“Yes?” I reply, gripping his arms so tight I might leave bruises. I can’t lose him here. I won’t accept that this is the end. I look into his eyes, searching for a sign that he’s still my Asher.

That he’s not just some monster.

“I’ll find you again when this is all over,” he says, tracing his fingers over my temples.

“But how? You won’t recognize me, and I won’t recognize you. We’ll be strangers,” I murmur.

His eyes flash with an angry determination. “I would know you, Piper Madden, anywhere, any time of my life. They can try to force you away from me, but I’m not done fighting back. For the first time in my life, I’m actually fighting for something. I will find you,” he says.

We’re rocked backward as the wall explodes from pressure. He holds me tightly to keep me balanced, using his wings for leverage. Gunshots ring out in the distance, and I know it’s only a matter of time before they infiltrate and retrieve us. People I should have been able to trust. It hurts now knowing I never could.

Finally, I can feel the siren’s song of the drug pulling me into its shallow haze. Warmth floods my body as my memories are dragged just out of reach. I try to cling to them, but they drift away like petals in the wind. Asher grunts and rolls away from me, grasping his head with his hands, and his wings begin to tremble.

I look around, my head on a swivel as I struggle to stay present. How did we get here?

The moments leading up to this one drop like they’re falling down a staircase one by one.

“Asher!” I shout again, trying to bring him back to me for a little while longer. He pants heavily, willing himself to stand and remain conscious. I want to keep fighting, but I can feel my strength fading. The futility of it all wraps itself around my bones, leeching all hope. This is it.

“Promise me you’ll find me,” I whisper into Asher’s chest. Even though he’s in agony, he strokes my hair, rubs his thumb along my cheek, presses his lips against my neck.

“I promise,” he whispers, over and over, like a mantra. “I promise, I promise, I promise.”

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.

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.

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.

Alex Bain didn’t fall into Hell—she was taken, and someone’s going to pay.



Trapped in a realm of nightmares after Lucas’s devastating sacrifice, Alex has two priorities: keep Sarah and Argo alive, and carve a bloody path back home. But Hell isn’t just fire and brimstone—it’s a world of ruthless politics, twisted bargains, and creatures older than sin itself. And at the center of it all? A dangerously seductive demon who wants to make Alex his queen.



With Finn tearing through anything in his way to bring her back and Lucifer’s prophecy tightening around her throat, Alex is running out of time. If she doesn’t find a way out soon, Finn might cross a line that can never be uncrossed—or she might not want to leave at all.
