What to expect: 

❤️ Single Dad x Nanny

☀️ Grumpy x Sunshine

๐Ÿฅน Widowed Hero

๐Ÿก Found Family

๐Ÿ’• He Falls First





Blurb:

I run a global security company with my brothers and negotiate high-stakes deals without breaking a sweat.

But my daughter deciding she suddenly hates every outfit in her closet five minutes before school? That brings me to my knees every time.

Honestly, being a CEO is easier than being a single dad.

That’s why I have rules. Routines. Structure. My life runs a whole lot smoother when everything stays organized and under control.

Then my maintenance company bails on me again, and my house descends into complete chaos. Hiring help goes from unnecessary to essential.

Which is how Melody crashes into my carefully ordered life.

Suddenly, my daughter wants to cook with Melody every evening and runs to her for advice about dresses and hair clips. And I can’t stop thinking about the beautiful woman dancing through my kitchen like she already belongs in our lives.

She makes me want things I stopped believing I deserved a long time ago.

But after losing my wife, I swore I’d never give anyone the power to destroy me again.

Because if I let Melody become part of our lives, losing her would hurt not only me—but my daughter too.

The problem is, every time Melody smiles at me, I want to bend every rule I’ve spent years living by.

Release Date: September 29, 2026

He was only supposed to be a secret fling. A forbidden kiss stolen in the dark . . .

Not the cold-blooded monster who betrayed me.

Callahan Knight is the Diamond Syndicate’s perfect weapon with honed muscles, lethal control, and merciless loyalty. Even when taking out a rival cartel’s capo—my uncle—he doesn’t flinch. He shatters my family without hesitation, and I swear I’ll never forgive him for that.

But the Syndicate doesn’t care about my hatred. To secure their power, they demand more: A vow of marriage or watch everything we love get destroyed.

Now I’m the unwilling bride living in the luxurious prison of Paradise Grove with the man I refuse to call my soon-to-be husband. Instead, he’s the villain. Enemy number one. My tormentor . . .

But also maybe my undoing.

Because when he looks at me with the same fire we once shared, I can’t decide if I want to kill him . . . or kiss him.

Yet, I refuse to be distracted by his touch or piercing gaze. Instead, I’ll play the part, wear the ring, and say my vows all while I dig for his greatest weakness.

Because he may be the Syndicate’s deadliest weapon—

But I’m just as lethal as the monster I have to marry.


REVIEW: IN THE DARK (KEPT IN PARADISE #2) BY SHAIN ROSE

With the scandalous intrigue of Desperate Housewives and the decadent spice of 365 Days, this first standalone in a sizzling new series from USA Today bestselling Booktok sensation Shain Rose welcomes you to Paradise Grove, a luxurious, ultra-private billionaire enclave—where the stakes are high, and the secrets are buried deep. Perfect for fans of Ana Huang, Rina Kent, Marni Mann, LJ Shen, and JT Geissinger.

He’s the forbidden enigma I wanted to ignore . . . but instead I’ll be forced to share a home with him.

Jameson Knight arrives at precisely the same time every day to pick up his young daughter from school, smiling as she runs into his open arms.

It’s the only time I see him smile.

I don’t ask questions because it’s not my place. I’m just his daughter’s favorite teacher, nothing more. . . . Until the first bullet flies by us at recess.

Suddenly, I’m risking my life to protect her. And then Jameson drags me back to his estate, claiming it’s a matter of life-or-death.

Now I’m in the most beautiful home I’ve ever seen, faced with an offer from a man who’s just as gorgeous: Be the temporary live-in nanny until he can ensure my safety and find a more permanent solution. It’ll be easy, he promises.

Yet, the arrangement is anything but simple.

Not when Jameson’s hungry stare is all consuming and his touch pulse racing.

And definitely not when I find that nothing in this neighborhood is as it seems, including Jameson.

He may be powerful, possessive, and protective. But he’s also dangerous, demanding, and calculating.

As more of his secrets come out, I should run but . . .

How do I escape the enigma of Jameson Knight if he’s already captured my heart?

Release Date: September 15, 2026





Blurb:

I had no clue that the gorgeous man I spent a seriously hot night with was my ex-boyfriend's dad. Or the new coach of my brothers' professional football team.

I didn't discover that until months later when I showed up on the field as the team's orthopedic surgeon and literally ran into him.

Unfortunately, that makes us a penalty neither of us can afford to take. Not when one touch could destroy everything.

It's his first shot at being a head coach, and he's working on repairing things with his son. I'm still a resident trying to prove myself, and the last thing I want is something messy getting in my way or anything to do with my ex.

But that doesn't stop the fire in his eyes or the way he tracks me around the field when he doesn't think I notice. Or how our stolen moments leave me breathless and full of butterflies.

We both know it's wrong. Forbidden.

And for a while, we play by the rules.

Until one night the mounting tension between us becomes too much to bear and his control shatters.

But how far can this love go when we're destined to be forever offsides?


REVIEWFOREVER OFFSIDES (FOREVER BOSTON #3) BY J SAMAN

Forever Offsides (Forever Boston #3)

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An engaging book boyfriend that is all heart. A fierce take charge heroine that doesn't follow the rules. Forever Offsides takes emotions on a sensual dance. Saman pushes the boundaries of attraction to get to the happily ever after waiting on the other side. West and Wolfe turn laugh out loud into an irresistible revelation. Thrilling spice meets tempestuous romance.

THE BILLIONAIRE INVITATION (CRANE BROTHERS #2) BY @jessicalemmonbooks is #NowLive!


"Temptation that jumps off the page...From swoon worthy to heartbreaking, Dante and Honesty are a duo worth sinking your emotions into.  Lemmon shakes up the senses with heat, humor and heart." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release Date: September 15, 2026


SYNOPSIS


He left her once.
This time, leaving isn’t so simple.


Philanthropist Dante Crane built his life three thousand miles from the woman he left behind. Then a charity event in Chicago drops Honesty Benitez squarely back into his path, and eight years of distance vanish in a single blink of her amber eyes.

Helping Honesty with her charity was supposed to be simple. Falling into her bed was supposed to be temporary—a fling with a clean end date, right up until his flight back to California.

Somewhere along the way Honesty becomes tangled with his family, slips past the guarded corners of his heart, and starts imagining a future she’s already grieved. Falling for him again was never the plan.

Now the choice is theirs to make: streamline their lives and put each other first, or part ways and let their story slip back into the past where they left it.

The Billionaire Invitation (Crane Brothers Book 2)

After nearly two decades serving his country, Special Forces Captain Tony Rossi is home for good and ready to transition to civilian life. With his business affairs in order, he wants to focus on his personal life and reconnect with the unforgettable Megan Sinclair. Their age gap and Cap's tours of duty abroad have forced him to remain distant for far too long. But Megan is all grown up now, and without any barriers in their way, Cap is determined to pursue his heart's every desire.

Megan has loved Tony forever, but she never knew he felt the same. Falling in his lap at a party gives her a chance to prove she's not just a cute kid anymore, but after years of unrequited love, she's hesitant about taking a giant leap with him. Strong, resourceful, and independent, Megan is used to standing on her own two feet. She isn't sure she has what it takes to fully submit to his dominance. If she does, can she find the courage to disclose her most wicked fantasies and join him behind the locked doors of his private kink club?

Before Megan can set foot inside the dungeon at Club Decadence, she finds herself embroiled in a dangerous drug cartel conspiracy. Tony must set aside his plans for their future in order to keep her safe in the present.

Stalking him was a bad idea. But falling in love with him?

That could cost me everything.

From the moment he walked into my life, Brody O’Rourke has been a thorn in my side. 

So now I’m going to be a thorn in his.

He calls me a menace. A brat. And if it weren’t for the electricity I can feel sizzling between us with every kiss, every touch, I might even believe he means it. 

At first, it was just for fun. A way to get some real-life experience for the books I write. Books about men like him. Controlling, possessive, dominant. Men who make their living with blood and fear, but who would burn it all down for the right woman.

But now I’m caught in the middle of a very real war being waged by men who are far more dangerous than the men I write about.

And unlike in my books, the real world doesn’t always have a happy ending…

About Quinn:


Quinn Marlowe is a writer of girls with bad ideas and the men who have to save them. She doesn't believe in simple plots or clean endings... and she loves a good cliffhanger.

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.
