HAPPY BOOK WEEK
IT'S RELEASE DAY...
IMPERFECT SOULMATE
Vikki Jay
Release Date: May 14
Blurb:
He thinks he dislikes her. He has no idea she’s the woman he’s falling for.
I’m Violet Morales — hopeless romantic and firm believer in the universe’s timing.
So when I stumble across FYS, aka Find Your Soulmate, a matchmaking website that promises to find your perfect match, it feels like destiny calling.
What I didn’t count on was being matched with Rowan Teager. Reclusive, selectively mute, billionaire — and the one man in our small town who seems entirely immune to my sunshine. To my face, anyway.
But behind the anonymity of a screen name, we are two opposite strangers falling fast and completely for each other.
The night we’re finally supposed to meet, I end up in a car accident instead. I wake up with a cast on my arm and every memory of my past wiped clean. Including him.
Working through my amnesia, I fall for Rowan all over again — this time not just the man behind a screen name, but the real, quiet one.
In the safety of his home, we start building something real.
But Rowan is convinced that his selective mutism and his silence make him wrong for me. And no matter how loudly I fight for us, he keeps choosing his fear over our love.
The question is — will he choose it over me?

Meet Vikki Jay :
What can you expect in a Vikki Jay book?
Cute small town vibes. Swoony rich dudes who can be over-the-top alphas except when it comes to their girls. Shy or sassy sweet heroines trying to find their way in the world. Adorable pets. Families you want to a part of.
All my books take place in the fictional town of Cherrywood and St. Peppers. I write about beautiful coincidences, finding love in unexpected places and times, and fighting hard to get that happily ever after.
Grab any of my books, if you’re up for for some cute, steamy read with a touch of angst, and some... unrealistic meet cutes which can only happen in fiction. <3

NOT HIM (FIREBROOK VALLEY #2) BY RUTH CARDELLO is #NowLive on Amazon and #KindleUnlimited!
#OneClick
Available in KU
One small town. Two powerful families. Thirty years of bad blood threatening to tear everything down.
She’s innocence and sunshine.
I’m nomadic and jaded.
Neither of us belongs in Firebrook Valley, but here we are, trying to put out fires we didn’t light.
If she wasn’t dating my brother . . .
If I didn’t know I’d hurt her when I leave again . . . maybe I’d finally ask myself why I’ve always gone out of my way to make sure she’s okay.
I've spent my life creating my own sunshine even in the middle of storms. But this time, I'm caught between two angry brothers and a whole lot of family drama. And, somehow, I'm the one tasked to fix this.
The feud between our fathers is heating up, and so are my exchanges with Evan.
My father’s afraid I’m falling for a Holliston.
And I am, just not the one he thinks I am.
Evan has been my secret guardian angel ever since we were children. Can I get him to wake up and see past the chaos to me before he leaves again?
In Firebrook Valley, the only thing more heartbreaking than falling for the man your family doesn’t want you with . . . is lusting after the one fighting for you to have the right to be with his brother.

#Excerpt
“Let me get this straight. You want me to pretend to be your secret boyfriend, and in exchange, you’ll set me up with your cousin?”
“Sure!” she says quickly, her tone overly bright. “Let’s go with that. It sounds like an even exchange.”
“That’s an even worse idea than your original one.”
A familiar displeasure spills into her expression. “Fine. There must be something else you want. Something I can do for you…”
It suddenly hits me that there is something I need help with. Something I’ve been worrying about.
“Can you dog-sit next weekend? The band has a couple of shows in Atlanta. I’d need you to stay in my house, though. My dog’s a little…particular.”
She brightens, her whole face lighting up with hope, and of course she’s even more beautiful like this. Looking at me like I could be the solution to all of her problems rather than the cause of them. “Of course! I told you. I’d be a great pet owner.”
“All right.”
“I’m sure your dog and I will get along great,” she gushes.
I’m less sure, but I’ll give Nora this. She’s good at getting what she wants from people.
Just like she’s about to get what she wants from me.
“Okay,” I tell Nora, holding out my hand for a shake. “You’ve got yourself a deal.”
The wattage of her face somehow increases further, and I’m surprised by how much it lightens my own mood to see her happy like this, knowing I played a part in it. Even if it was by agreeing to a ridiculous lie.
“You’ll pretend you’re my secret boyfriend in exchange for dog-sitting? Hell, yes.” She slips her small hand in mine. Her middle finger is slightly crooked, arcing to the right by a few millimeters, and I crush the urge to trace it as I give her hand a firm shake.
“So this is what it feels like to make a deal with the devil.”
Blurb:
Their secret fake relationship began with a little white lie...
Nora
My ginger beer brewery is, quite literally, my life.
Unfortunately, my male business partner's new fiancée is insanely jealous. It's only a matter of time before she forces him to quit, which means we'll both lose the business we love.
So I ask him what will get her to back down.
A boyfriend.
I make one up, telling her it's too early to introduce him, which works right up until she walks in on a heated private conversation between me and Cormac, my soon-to-be stepbrother.
She comes to a wild conclusion: the reason I'm keeping my boyfriend secret is because it's him.
I know I should set her straight. Cormac is the last person I'd ever date, and not just because our parents are about to get married. He's awkward, introverted, and has the people skills of a houseplant.
But I'm desperate enough to tell the worst lie ever.
Cormac
Nora makes me an offer any sane man would refuse.
She wants me to be her secret fake boyfriend–an act that only has to work on two people.
In exchange, she promises to help me brush up my dating skills.
It doesn't seem like much of a bargain, to be honest. She's been prickly since high school and isn't much of a charmer herself, but I agree because I've promised my father I'll try to get along with her.
But the more time Nora and I spend together, the more I realize that I'd like our secret fake relationship to be real.
**A standalone romcom in the Babes of Brewing series.**
Note: There are TWO different versions of this romcom:
1) A spicy open door version with some strong language and sex scenes
2) A closed door version with mild language and only kissing.
Please choose the version that's best for you!

I’m the coach’s daughter. Falling for one of my father's players was never the plan.
Especially not Decker Davis.
Chicago Colts third baseman.
Dependable. Steady. The guy everyone trusts.
And the man who’s spent years keeping his distance—especially from me.
We have history. The kind that ten years and a thousand miles can’t touch.
So, this time, I promised myself I'd be smarter.
No getting attached. No blurred lines. And definitely, no falling.
He broke every last one within the first week.
Because Decker doesn’t just show up for me. He shows up for my daughter.
Because he fits into our lives like he was always meant to be there.
Because he looks at me like I was never something he wanted to lose.
And suddenly, the walls I've spent years building don't feel nearly as solid as they used to.
But if I let him in, I’m not just risking my heart—I’m risking hers too… and I already know what losing him costs.
I won’t let my daughter pay that price.

Getting pregnant after a one-night stand with my brother’s best friend was never part of the plan.
We’re talking about Foster Davis here.
Chicago Colts closing pitcher.
The broody king of one-word answers.
And the man everyone knows keeps one foot out the door.
Surprisingly, when two pink lines turn my world upside down, Foster doesn’t run. He steps in, he shows up, and he insists we do this together.
Pretending we’re fine is easy. Pretending this is just about the baby? Not so much.
Because Foster is gentle when no one’s watching.
Because he looks at me like I’m something worth protecting.
Because the walls he’s built start to crack—and I’m the one he’s letting inside.
Our arrangement was supposed to be simple. Boundaries were set. Co-parents and no catching feelings.
Okay, maybe a few sex lessons were added in too. Bad idea, I know.
Because the more time I spend with Foster Davis, the harder it is to remember why I ever thought he was the risky choice.

Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…
💍Marriage in repair
🩷Only ever been you
🍼Surprise baby (but not how you’d think)
🏁Former NASCAR driver
🏠Small town romance
🩷Heat and heart and HEA
Release Date: April 4, 2026
Blurb:
A heart-mending romance for a small town marriage-in-repair between reunited lovers seeking a second chance at love later in life.
Dart Rivers is my ex-husband, or so I thought.
Three years ago, he drove out of our small town to chase racing dreams, leaving me and my broken heart in his rearview mirror.
Couple goals and shattered promises brought feelings of failure on both our parts.
Then one night, a special delivery is left on my back step. A stork-drop of sorts. (Think Baby Boom). At first, I believe there must be a mistake, but when the sweet bundle swaddled in pink gazes at me, I’ll do anything to keep her.
Enter Dart Rivers again.
An accident on the track leads to him sneaking into the house, crashing on my couch, and announcing he’s still mine.
Close proximity provides honest conversations, friendly couch time, and familiar attractions. With silver speckled in his hair, Dart is still the best-looking man I’ve ever seen, making my belly flutter and my heart beat again.
But can I trust that fragile organ? Can I give my ex-not-ex-husband a second chance? Can I believe Dart’s new promises?

Owen by Cassie Colton releases on June 9th!
Read With Kindle Unlimited
After ten years of silence, Owen Wolfe returns to Wolfe Mountain to lay his father to rest and face the five brothers he left behind after a bitter family rift. The plan is simple—settle the estate and walk away again.
But Jeremiah Wolfe had other ideas.
At the reading of the will, the brothers learn their father left the rundown Wolfe Mountain resort, along with its abandoned cabins, failing ski lodge, and the legendary wolf-shaped peak, to all his sons… including one they’ve never met. There’s only one condition: every brother must remain on the mountain for one full year or lose everything. The mountain will go to Leslie Wilkins, Owen’s former fiancée.
If they stay, a five-million-dollar purchase offer is waiting at the end of that year.
As suspicion grows and secrets begin to surface, the Wolfe brothers must put aside a decade of anger to uncover the truth about their father’s death… and decide whether Wolfe Mountain is worth saving.
But for Owen, the greatest battle isn’t on the mountain. It’s proving to Leslie that the man who once walked away is not the same man who returned.

A lawman falls for a woman with a rare gift. A killer will stop at nothing to possess it.
Texas Ranger Vince Cooper trusts evidence, instincts, and the badge on his chest. Psychics? Not a chance. But when a brutal murder and a missing teenage girl lead him to Erica Stevens, Vince can't deny that the beautiful, boho artist knows things about the crime scene she shouldn’t.
Erica rarely talks about her gift. The visions strike without warning—someone else’s fear, memories that don’t belong to her, flashes of violence she can’t unsee. Helping a skeptical Ranger investigate a murder is the last thing she needs, even if the grounded, old‑school lawman watching her with equal parts suspicion and heat is impossible to ignore.
As they work the case together, preconceived notions give way to undeniable chemistry. Trust builds. Desire sizzles. Coop’s protective instincts flare to life. And everything between them changes.
But the investigation points straight to a ruthless Russian crime boss who collects debts in blood. When he learns about Erica’s ability, she becomes far more valuable than the money he’s hunting.
Now Coop isn’t just trying to solve a murder. He’s racing to save the woman he loves. Because once the boss decides something belongs to him, he never lets it go.

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.

❤️🔥 Stepbrother
Sammy
Looking back, maybe I should have known where this was all going. But I’ve never been a girl who worries much about the future.
Maybe because I never thought I had one. Until my stepfather turned up and showed me life might be living after all. And that he would catch me if I fell again.
If I can trust him to stay.
Years ago, he blew through town like a hurricane, married my mother, and then left again, saddling us with a new last name and a boy we didn’t know. I haven’t seen him since, and when he returns, I expect him to leave again.
Instead, he tries to save me. And I realize that I don’t know him as well as I thought I did.
This man isn’t the rough, overbearing stepfather I remember. His touch is gentle, his voice a husky murmur. His eyes are dark and hungry. And his son? The boy I used to laugh with? He’s gone quiet and cold. Distant, like he knows he shouldn’t want what he wants. As for me? I’m the broken one they’re both trying to save. If they don’t destroy each other first.
But I’ve never had a family I can count on, and I’m not sure Barrett and Chris can rescue me from my demons. When my real father comes back into the picture, I see a path that doesn’t include a step-family at all.
I see what might be a real life.
And then everything shatters. I let the wrong man in and bring danger straight to our door. And when it all comes crashing down, and I need a hero, I get two. Only it’s not blood that saves me.
It’s them.
One is a hardened wanderer full of forbidden longings.
The other is hiding a vulnerability only I can see.
And they’re both mine.
If I can survive long enough to choose them.

About Quinn:
She's not sorry for that.
She's a fan of red wine, cheesecake, perfect hash browns, and really good punk rock. She’s also obsessed with everything piratical—though she refuses to acknowledge any actual connection to pirates. She studied English and Film at UCLA and, when forced to choose a career, chose publishing rather than teaching or being a filmmaker. Quinn lives in San Diego with her dogs, the ducks that moved into the front yard, and far too many cats.
When she's not writing, you can find her riding her horse or playing villain in someone else's story. And she's not sorry about that, either.
