Second chances don’t usually come wrapped in shoulder pads on Valentine’s Day…
Ten months ago, All-American shortstop Briella Reddington fell hard for grumpy, battle-scarred quarterback Maddox “Mick” McBride.
And then he walked away—right when she was finally ready to let him in.
Now Ella’s done being vulnerable, done being blindsided, and definitely done with emotionally unavailable athletes. But losing a bet lands her at a Valentine’s charity flag-football event…face-to-face with the man who broke her heart.
Maddox never stopped wanting Ella—but teammates loyal to her golden-boy ex, a rival gunning for his spot, and a coach who made Ella the price of peace forced his hand. Choosing her once cost him everything. His season tanked, his starting job is on the line, and seeing Ella again is the one hit he isn’t prepared to take.
When a chaotic Valentine’s “cupid” pushes them together, sparks ignite, truths surface, and Maddox realizes he’s been fighting the wrong battles all year.
This time, he’s not walking away.
He’s fighting for the girl who was always worth the risk.

SWEET FORTUNE
This small-town kindergarten teacher is about to make a Christmas bargain with a billionaire…
Allie Lawrence has never cared about money. She grew up running around the family dairy farm with her beloved big brothers, treasuring all the joys in life that don’t cost a thing.
But when she becomes a kindergarten teacher at the elementary school in small town Sugarville Grove, a project that could help her students captures her heart and her imagination.
If only she could find the budget to help the children’s dreams come true.
When a struggling student’s father steps in and makes her an unbelievable offer, Allie is too excited to overthink the conditions. What’s a little tutoring and a fake date or two in exchange for the Christmas miracle she has been praying for?
But as Allie spends more time with the handsome single dad, and the little girl she secretly wishes could be her own, she starts to realize she’s in too deep.
Worse than the threat of losing the bargain, the thing she’s about to lose just might be her heart.

CHRISTMAS ENCORE
Some love stories never take their final bow.
He left her without a word. Now he’s back—with scars, regrets, and a love he can’t outrun.
Fifteen years ago, Roan Hayes vanished from Sugarville Grove, leaving behind the girl he loved and a town that never forgave him. Now, a career-ending stuntman injury sends him home, determined to start over quietly with a gritty new gym. But his fresh start collides head-on with the past when he discovers his business shares a wall with hers.
Reese Monroe has been back in Sugarville Grove for years, running her beloved Sugar Plum Dance Studio after a dazzling ballet career that ended too soon. Outwardly, she’s thriving—teaching young dancers, filling her days with music and movement—but privately, the pressure to stay in control still haunts her. The last thing she needs is Roan walking back into her world… still magnetic, still stubborn, and still capable of upending everything.
As their lives—and their businesses—intertwine, old sparks burn hotter than ever. But forgiveness doesn’t come easy, and trust is even harder. Can Roan prove that first love deserves a second chance, or will past heartbreak take its final bow?

On Sea Smoke Island, secrets never stay buried—and the truth is never safe.
Every time Detective Tina Chen comes to Sea Smoke Island, two things happen. One, criminals get busted. Two, she nearly loses her lunch on the boat ride over. This time, maybe things will be different. She’s on vacation, for one thing. Mandated vacation. But what kind of vacation would it be without an investigation to keep her busy? Enter Marigold Olson, who hires her to locate the mystery man who ditched her at the altar. His trail takes Tina to the Lightkeeper Inn and a head-on collision with … her longtime TV crush?
Jack Finnegan is no detective, though he plays one on a long-running crime series. But since no one will believe him that his sister Jessie’s in trouble, finding her is on him. Why has she disappeared from their grandparents’ old cottage on Sea Smoke? Who was the man she was seeing? And why can’t he shake the feeling that something has gone terribly wrong? Teaming up with the hot badass cop Tina is a no-brainer, at least for him. He’s not the one with the crush…not yet.
On Sea Smoke Island, the connections go deep, and soon Tina and Jack are dodging bullets and getting drawn into a notorious unsolved murder. And that’s before they discover they’ve stumbled onto a secret more dangerous than they ever imagined. What is the truth behind Night Light? Can they unbury it before it buries them?
NIGHT LIGHT is an opposites attract, reverse grumpy/sunshine, romantic suspense set on the hauntingly beautiful coast of Maine.

These babies are brand new, but they're already fighting evil...
Labor Woes & Deadly Foes by Brenda Trim is available now for FREE in KU!
🔗 https://geni.us/LaborWoes
I never signed up for magical parasites trying to steal my triplets' powers, but here we are.
Pregnant with three magical babies who each have their own divine gifts? Hard enough. Add in my psychotic enemy Lyra creating parasitic connections to drain their powers before they're even born, and this mama is living a supernatural nightmare of epic proportions.
My husband Aidon's shadows can only defend us so much, and with my entire family working overtime on protection spells and battle plans, we're racing against a divine deadline. Because of course Lyra would time her ultimate power grab to coincide with my labor.
Throw in a mysterious woman named Thalia with a connection to Lyra that nobody saw coming, Forgotten Ones attacking our property, and my unborn children developing powers strong enough to create weather events and magical maps—and I'm having the pregnancy from hell. Literally, since my father-in-law Hades is now involved.
As the celestial alignment approaches and my contractions intensify, I'll need every ounce of my Pleiades magic and the support of my supernatural family to ensure my babies aren't just born—but born free from the parasitic bonds that threaten to make them magical batteries for a power-hungry madwoman.
Turns out these triplets have plans of their own, and Lyra has no idea what she's awakened.
Grab this thrilling paranormal women's fiction novel featuring a pregnant heroine with attitude, powerful magical triplets, and the family willing to tear apart dimensions to protect them today!
