Safe Haven (Triple Creek Ranch #1) by Kristen Proby is #NowLive!
"Proby forces the heart to confront life at it's most painful. From the love of family to the heartache of loss, Safe Haven dares to put the soul on full display." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)
Release Date: February 17, 2026
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an emotional romance where two best friends reunite at Triple Creek Ranch, proving that home is where love finds its way.
Fifteen years ago, my best friend found salvation at the Triple Creek Ranch, transforming from an angry foster kid into a hockey legend. Now, with his adoptive father’s death forcing him home, Ryker’s trading his hockey stick for ranch life—and I’m not sure my heart can handle having him this close again.
I’ve spent the past decade raising my troubled nephew alone while building my career as an audiobook narrator. When my boy needs a fresh start, Ryker offers us sanctuary at the ranch. But living under the same roof with the man who’s always owned my heart ignites feelings I’ve tried hard to bury.
Between helping manage a struggling ranch, watching my nephew find his way, and dealing with the shadows of Ryker’s fame, we discover our connection is stronger than ever. But when threats from his past surface, we’ll have to decide if our second chance is worth fighting for.

Raising my cousin’s three kids wasn’t in my five-year plan.
Actually, it wasn’t in any plan.
One minute I’m a single labor and delivery nurse living a quiet life and the next, I’m navigating guardianship hearings, meltdowns, and homework I’m pretty sure requires a math degree.
Enter Hayes Carlisle.
My best friend’s older brother.
Chicago Colts newest catcher.
And the man I once kissed and immediately pretended I didn’t.
So, when the custody battle I’ve been dreading becomes a reality, I shouldn’t be surprised that Hayes swoops in with a wild idea—a fake relationship. According to him, pretending we’re together will polish his image and prove to the court I’m not taking on an instant family alone.
But pretending to be Hayes’ girlfriend is a terrible idea.
Because he remembers how to make me laugh.
Because he looks at me like our kiss wasn’t a one-time mistake.
Because the kids start asking him to read bedtime stories.
Because my heart starts wanting things my life doesn’t have room for.
I can manage the chaos. I can fight for these kids.
But pretending not to fall for Hayes Carlisle?
That might be the one thing I can’t do.

#Excerpt
The fabric of Sam’s T-shirt is bunched in my fists and I don’t want this kiss to break. I mean… who needs oxygen anyway?
“Penny…,” he warns. He’s thinking the same as me. This feels like it’s getting ready to become very dangerous between us.
“Stop thinking,” I whisper against his mouth. “Just feel.”
“Oh, I’m feeling, all right,” he mutters before his mouth captures mine again in a bruising kiss.
I swing a leg over his lap and straddle him, putting us face-to-face. Sam groans, his hands catching me at my hips like he means to stop me. For one long heartbeat, he holds me there, breathing hard, caught somewhere between don’t and please. Then his grip shifts from resistance to permission, as he leans back just enough to make room for me.
The couch creaks as I shift, knees on either side of his hips, and he makes a rough sound at the back of his throat that goes straight through me.
“Penny, I’m not gonna lie… you straddling my lap has my brain close to short-circuiting and I’d be a fool to tell you to stop. But… I’m going to tell you to think about it.”
“I know what I’m doing,” I whisper, not sure which part I’m agreeing to—go slower, don’t spook him, keep kissing him until we both forget our names. Maybe all three.
My grip on his shoulders, I lower my head so my mouth can meet his. Sam’s hands hesitate at my waist like he’s afraid of being greedy, then settle there, fingers splayed, both reverent and possessive in the same beat.
His mouth moves over my jaw, down the line of my neck, where his teeth scrape deliciously against my tender skin. His fingers flex into my hips, pushing me down to feel every inch of him. He pins me there, head pulling back slightly to stare at me.
“Tell me to stop,” he says, “and I will.”
I circle my hips, creating friction between our bodies that almost makes me lose any shred of restraint I have. “Tell me to stop, and I absolutely won’t.”

In the delightfully nosy town of Whynot, North Carolina, secrets and sweet tea never stay cold for long. When sparks fly between two locals—one returning home and one with secrets to hide—the gossip mill isn’t the only thing turning up the heat.
Penny Pritchard thought she’d traded in small-town chatter for political banter when she left to build a big career in Washington, D.C. But when her beloved Aunt Muriel needs help running Central Café—the local hotspot for gossip, grits, and good intentions—Penny comes home with a suitcase full of high heels and denial about just how much she’s missed this place.
Enter Sam-Pete Rochelle, the easygoing bartender at Chesty’s with a smile that could make a girl forget her rules and a secret bigger than the town itself. Everyone thinks he’s just the guy pouring whiskey and fixing the jukebox. No one suspects he’s actually a wildly popular, very rich, and very anonymous author of steamy fantasy romance novels.
When the truth is revealed and it’s time for Sam to stop hiding behind his pen name, Whynot loses its collective mind. The church ladies are clutching their pearls, Floyd’s hosting a “Banned Books & Bourbon” club, and the mayor’s calling an emergency meeting about moral decay. And Penny? Penny is learning firsthand that Sam doesn’t just talk the talk where his books are concerned. Sam excels at walking the walk, if you know what I mean.
Now, Penny is torn between her two worlds. Does she go back to the career that provides a sense of fulfillment and purpose or stay in the small town with the man who writes about epic love stories and might just be her own real-life happily ever after?
A laugh-out-loud, heart-swoony friends-to-lovers romance about second chances, southern charm, and finding the courage to write your own story—one rumor at a time.

The Real Ones by J Rose Black is #NowLive!
"Emotion that pushes back. Ella and Mick turn heartache into redemption. A haunting melody that lingers within the soul." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)
https://amzn.to/4sxyTxF
Real With Kindle Unlimited
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.

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.

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?

Release Date: February 17, 2026
She betrayed him. Now, he’s back to claim everything—including her.
Gabriel Grimm was supposed to be dead.
Once, he was the golden heir—untouchable, unstoppable—until a scandal shattered his world, leaving his name in ruins and his body in a shallow grave. But Gabriel didn’t die. He disappeared, forging himself into something harder, colder, unbreakable. And now, after years in the shadows, he’s ready to take back what was stolen.
Starting with her.
Isabella Hart was everything to him. His love. His salvation. And the woman who stood by while her father destroyed him. Now, she’s at the heart of the empire he’s about to dismantle. But taking down her father isn’t enough. Gabriel wants Bella, too. Ruined. Broken. His.
She swears she wasn’t part of the betrayal. That she fought for him. That the past isn’t what he believes.
But Gabriel stopped believing in love the day he died.
Now, he only believes in vengeance.
Yet every time he touches her, the past comes roaring back. The hunger. The need. The lie he tells himself—that breaking her will make him whole again.
But if he’s wrong, then claiming her won’t be his triumph… it will be his downfall. And her undoing.

He always plays by the rules.
But almost losing the woman he can’t live without changes the game.
After years of searching for the man of her dreams, legal secretary Olivia Wright has all but given up on finding him. With a past full of heartbreak and intermittent dry spells, she is nearly resigned to the life of loneliness that seems to be her fate. She can't even garner the attention of her incredibly handsome boss, although she's certainly tried. Discouraged, Olivia is left with no choice except to move on. When she procures an invitation to Club Decadence, the most exclusive club in the state, it seems her luck might finally be changing.
Dapper, dynamic, and disciplined, Joseph Hooks is not your average attorney. He's shamelessly smart, effortlessly powerful, and a stickler for following the rules. Intimidating his opponents in the courtroom comes naturally. And no matter whom he's facing off against, he never loses control. Until he spots his strictly vanilla secretary taking part in a new member recruitment event at his club. It's hard enough for Joseph to ignore Olivia at work, watching her with another man would be impossible to bear.
Despite his attempts to exercise caution, work and play finally collide. The electricity sparking between him and Olivia for three long years must finally be dealt with. Giving in to temptation will change everything, but Joseph is hopelessly enamored. No matter the obstacles they must hurdle, he's not letting her off his hook.

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.
