HAPPY PUBLIVERSARY: THE CONTRACT BY MELANIE MORELAND

 




The Contract—Melanie Moreland 📖


"Forever, seems a long time coming, but tends to never last long enough. Richard and Katy embody the best of love at the most heartbreaking of moments. They were and will always be my favorite Melanie Moreland couple."  - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

A tyrant by day, a playboy by night. That is the reputation that precedes Richard VanRyan. He lives life the way he wants, no concern for the opinion of others. He cares for no one, is completely unrepentant, and he has no desire to change his ways.

Katharine Elliott works under Richard as his PA. She despises him and his questionable ethics, but endures all the garbage he sends her way, because she needs the job. Her end goal is far more important than the daily abuse and demands she tolerates from her nasty tyrant of a boss.

Until the day, he asks her for something she never expected. A new role with a personal contract — fiancée instead of PA.

What happens when two people who loathe each other, have to live together and act as though they are madly in love?

Sparks.

That’s what happens.

Can the power of love really change a person?

Will they survive the contract?

What do you do when the one person you hate the most becomes the one person you can’t live without?



She fussed over him. Made sure he looked right. "There. Now you're ready."

And then he asked—almost fearful of her answer—

"Are you ready?"

He's supposed to be the one in control here. He wrote the contract. He chose her.

And he's the one holding his breath.


*****

Did you catch what Melanie did here?

She gave him almost fearful of her answer.

Not confident. Not commanding. Fearful.

The man who wrote the contract. The man who had a plan for everything.

Waiting—breath held—for a woman he's still pretending doesn't matter.

"Are you ready?" "Yes." "Let's get married."

He moved before she could change her mind. Or maybe before he could. 👀

THE MOMENT IT ALL BEGAN (DUKE BROTHERS #6) BY LANI BLAKE


"From emotions that run deep and attraction that runs wild, The Moment It All Began is spice at it's sweetest. Blake speaks from the heart with a sense of humor that is deliciously, irresistible." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)



Release Date: May 16, 2026


Love wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was a baby.

Jay wasn’t a genius, but he was close. A man who remembered everything, solved problems others couldn’t, and used to think brains could fix anything. These days, he preferred peace, quiet, and zero complications. But Blue Jay was the complication he never saw coming—confident, beautiful, infuriating, and a girl from his past.

Blue Jay McAllister was having a week. Her designs were stolen, her career circling the drain, and her only comfort came with a corkscrew. Then fate decided to throw in one more twist—Jay Haddon. Once upon a time, she’d called him the least fashionable man alive. Now he was standing there looking like trouble in a suit. And after one amazing night together, she had a brand-new problem.

BLURB

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding the Nashville Rampage football team. Risk the Play is a single mom, coach, best friend's dad, forbidden, secret-relationship, age-gap romance.

Will

Football was always simple—follow the playbook, make the sacrifice, win the game.

I lived by that rule for decades, and it cost me everything. My marriage. My daughter.

By ten, she believed I loved the game more than her. Now she’s back in my life—with a family of her own—I fight every day to show her I’ve changed.

Then I fumble it all by falling for her best friend.

Amanda is strong, stubborn, and raising her daughter alone after her husband’s betrayal.

One kiss becomes something neither of us can ignore.

She wants to keep it secret. I don’t.

Because this time, I’m willing to risk the play. I won’t lose my second chance at love.

Amanda

I always knew I wanted to be a mother. I just never planned on doing it alone.

But when my ex got his assistant pregnant, I stopped, waiting for the life I thought I’d have—and choose motherhood for myself.

Now I’m a single mom doing my best to build a quiet, steady life with no drama and no risks.

Until my best friend’s father becomes the one risk I can’t resist.

Coach Warner is disciplined, respected… and completely off limits.

Watching him fight for his daughter only makes falling for him more dangerous.

We tell ourselves it’s just once.

But one reckless kiss turns into a night we can’t take back—and a secret we definitely can’t afford to keep.

Because if we’re discovered, I could lose my best friend…

And he could lose his daughter all over again.

Falling for me was never part of his playbook.
Risk the Play (Nashville Rampage #6)Risk the Play by Kaylee Ryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Risk the Play is a forbidden, heartache determined to be something more. Ryan speaks to the soul in the most haunting of voices. Will and Amanda seduce emotions. From the heat of attraction to the heartbreak of romance, these two lost hearts are an endearing temptation. Sweet and spicy bring the flavor.

Her Romeo by Quinn Marlowe awaits at your favorite retailer...

🔗 https://geni.us/HerRomeo

JOSEPH
Oldest son in the Rossi family. Heir to the empire. Loyal to the family, over and above anyone else.
Even when it comes to murder. War. Kidnapping my best friend.
Sloane Brennan, daughter of the Irish mob boss, used to be my partner in crime. Now she’s forbidden fruit… and leverage. My father has ordered me to take her to Italy and turn her over to the man who will hold her hostage.
He thinks it’s simple.
I know it’s not.
Because nothing about Sloane is simple. And this trip just reminds me of everything I love about her. Her smell. Her sharp tongue. That red hair that I want to tangle my fingers in as I have my way with her.
My job is to transport Sloane and drop her off. Then get back home and collect my reward.
Falling in love with her again is not an option. What I want was never part of this deal.
And playing her hero now, when so much is at stake?
That’s just going to get us both killed.

SLOANE
I should have known better. I thought I could escape the mob. Get a degree. Work on the right side of the law.
But Joseph Rossi always has to make things complicated.
One day I’m doing my job, and the next I’ve been taken. Thrown on a plane and told to sit down and shut up, because I’m nothing more than a pawn in a game between powerful men. And Joseph Rossi, my one-time best friend and lover, is the guy doing the kidnapping.
But when we get to Italy, it becomes obvious that Joseph’s not the one in charge.
Equally obvious: He wants me just as badly as he ever has. And despite the betrayal, I haven’t forgotten the way his body feels. I should hate him. I should want to kill him for what he’s done.
I don’t.
And when everything goes sideways, I only have two choices: either team up with the man who got me into this mess, or stay here and face the consequences of his mistakes.
I’m not ready to die. But I don’t know if I’m ready to trust Joseph Rossi, either.
Because the last time I trusted him, he broke my heart.

Her Romeo is the second book in Sloane and Joseph's story, which started in His Obsession and finishes in Her Hero. The book includes Romeo and Juliet themes, kidnapping, car chases, stalkers, and heroes, plus enough tension and spice to make you want a Joseph Rossi of your very own.

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.

Every Shattered Note by Claudia Burgoa releases on May 20th!


"Every Shattered Note is an interlude into heartache.  From solo to duet is a courageous dance with destiny. All the feels are put on full display." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)


https://geni.us/ShatteredNote

Read With Kindle Unlimited




From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a slow-burn, mistaken-identity romance about hidden fame, second chances at life, and the woman who accidentally falls for a rockstar in disguise.

I plan other people’s love stories for a living. Perfect nights. Perfect moments. Perfect control.

So when my guitarist cancels an hour before a high-profile event, I do what any professional would do—panic quietly and pray for a miracle.

Then he walks in.

Late. Soaked from the rain. Incredibly handsome. Unapologetically charming.

A man I absolutely shouldn’t notice.

He plays music like the storm outside taught him how to feel.

He saves the night. And without meaning to, he starts unraveling mine.

I don’t know that he’s a world-famous musician in hiding.

I only know that when he looks at me, the world stops spinning.

I build love stories for other people. It’s chaotic, but it’s always strategic, straight-forward.

But this time, the one falling—hard, fast, and completely unplanned—is me.

There’s no seating chart that can contain, or explain, the storm that is Dexter Vaughn. But maybe his humor, guitars, and big heart is exactly what I need to build my own breathtaking love story.


REVIEW: EVERY SHATTERED NOTE (HEARTBREAK MIXTAPES) BY CLAUDIA BURGOA

Every Shattered Note (Heartbreak Mixtapes #3)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Every Shattered Note is an interlude into heartache. Emotion takes center stage. Burgoa paints a haunting picture of a melody struggling to find it's way. From solo to duet is a courageous dance with destiny. All the feels are put on full display.

The Scoring Secret - A Hockey Romance (Off the Ice #2) 

By: Ainsley Booth


  "Hunter and Hatchet turn sweet seduction into unforgettable romance.  From flirty to funny to frustrating, Kyle and Ty are a heatwave that leaves scorch marks." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

Narrated by: Stella Hunter, Rob Hatchet 

https://amzn.to/3Pp8d3p


Hook up with the irritating hockey player living downstairs? Never. Fall in love with his sexy online alter-ego, on the other hand… a girl might just accidentally do that.

The first time I meet Ty Connor, he comes off as a privileged jerk. The second time, he’s breaking into my best friend’s apartment…apparently, with her permission. And his arrival in my life coincides with the start of a brutal dry spell in my dating life. Do I blame him for that? Maybe a little.

So we’re not going to be friends. But it’s impossible to fully ignore a guy I share a stairwell with.

The only bright spot is an online sexting buddy who I can’t meet in person, because I can’t handle one more bad date. That is, until my feelings for my anonymous online pen pal collide headfirst with the sizzling attraction starting to burn with the jerk downstairs.

Now my best friend is marrying his teammate, and things are getting complicated.

It can’t be more than a secret, summer fling... one that ends before the hockey season starts again. Because I won’t risk falling for another beautiful, talented man who is so far outside my league, nobody would ever believe us as a real couple.

The Scoring Secret is a spicy, blush-inducing slow burn hockey romance with “You’ve Got Mail for the Tinder age” vibes.

Vicious Intentions is the fifth and final installment in this action-packed and drama-filled mafia romance series from USA Today Bestselling Author Ivy Fox.

"Enter the dangerous world of power, passion, and forbidden love in The Next Vicious Generation—where blind loyalty always comes at a price."

Blurb:

My name is Annamaria Romano.

I was raised in a world built on violence, death, and destruction.

Yet I still believe in kindness. In mercy. In the idea that goodness can survive even in places it doesn’t belong.

That is, until Matteo Donato kidnaps me.

He expects fear. Submission. Silence.

What he gets is resistance.

Matteo is everything I should hate. He is blood and grief and rage given form. But worst of all, he is the consequence of my family’s choices—a living reminder that their sins can never stay buried.

He is my enemy. My captor. And somehow, he’s the only one who truly sees me.

Sees every jagged edge, every dark blemish, every inch of my tormented soul.

With every passing moment, the lines between vengeance and desire blur, and I’m forced to confront a truth I never thought I’d face.

In the Outfit, acts of treason are punishable by death.

And falling for the man who took me might be the most dangerous betrayal of all.

Author's note: Each book in The Next Vicious Generation series is an interconnected standalone and can be read as such. However, all books in this series have an entwined subplot, which will only be resolved in this book. Therefore, it is highly recommended that this series be read in its entirety for full enjoyment.

When Sparks Fly by Monica Murphy is now available for pre-order on audio!


Narrated by Tor Thom & Kelsey Navarro Foster

Releasing on May 26, 2026


"When Sparks Fly, hearts melt.  Murphy turns up the heat with a laugh out loud heartbreaker that gets under your skin. From clueless to endearing, Thom and Navarro Foster are a delight." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




 From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Monica Murphy comes a sweltering summer romance you won’t be able to put down.

Twenty-two-year-old heiress Rachel Henderson has one goal this summer: hide out at her family’s lake house and recover from the most mortifying breakup Manhattan society has ever witnessed. Sun, swimming, and zero paparazzi, what could go wrong?

But her quiet summer by the lake goes up in literal flames when a spa-day candle mishap sets her mother’s designer curtains on fire. When the local fire department shows up—specifically the ridiculously hot fire captain—the house is saved, but the captain scorches her pride with a lecture about fire safety.

Determined to prove she can handle life on her own without her family’s help, Rachel finds a new roommate and a new job—too bad she’s terrible at it. Oh, and she keeps running into Captain Tall-Dark-and-Infuriating (which definitely isn’t a hardship). The more time they spend together, the more their conversations start to get real, and Rachel finds herself falling for Wyatt. She thinks he might even feel the same way.

The only problem? Wyatt is all about roots and permanence, while Rachel is the very definition of flighty. But this summer, she just might be tempted to stay …

Lucky 22 by Ashley Eckstein and Samantha Chase is releasing, September 8th. #Preorder today.


"An endearing charmer. There is no turning back once you turn that first page." - (Isha C, Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release Date: September 8, 2026



Twenty-two was just a lucky number.

Until it wasn’t.

Ella Rose Holt believes in magic. Not always the fairy-tale kind, but the quiet kind that shows up when you least expect it. On the brink of her golden birthday, chasing acting dreams in Los Angeles, Ella’s life feels full of possibility…and just a little unfinished.

Christian Lucas has built his world on discipline, dedication, and the game he loves. As a professional baseball player, his life is carefully scheduled, a bit guarded, and rarely spontaneous.

When a chance encounter, a lucky number, and a not-so-blind blind date bring them together, neither is prepared for the connection that follows.

What starts as an unexpected meeting quickly becomes something deeper—an easy friendship, a steady trust, and a romance that grows quietly but undeniably. As their worlds collide under bright stadium lights and red-carpet flashes, Ella and Christian must decide whether love has a place in lives already full of ambition, sacrifice, and dreams in motion.

Because sometimes, the most extraordinary love stories aren’t loud or dramatic.

They’re built on faith.

On timing.

On believing that when the moment comes, you’ll be brave enough to say yes.

And a little bit of luck.

This limited-edition paperback also features specially designed edges, crafted for readers who believe in love stories worth holding on to.

 #RESORT CRUSH (LAKEVIEW HARBOR) BY SAMANTHA CHASE is releasing May 26th!


"Sweet temptation meets endearing drama. From spicy to sweet is a dance with heartbreak that never misses a step. Chase pushes every button from emotional to sensory and creates a rhythm that's haunting to the soul." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




 #RESORT CRUSH


A small town, opposites attract, workplace romance 

 

He lives by schedules, spreadsheet and always knowing what’s next.


She lives for trails, takeoffs, and the thrill of what comes next.


Nora Wilder is always looking for her next thrill, so when she lands a job as an adventure guide at the Lakeview Harbor Resort, it finally feels like she’s found a place where she belongs. Except what seemed like a dream job quickly goes south after a series of run-ins with one of the resort’s owners threatens the future she’s building.


Investing in the resort where he met his closest friends made perfect sense to Milo Keene. But for someone who lives for spreadsheets, participating in any of the resort’s outdoor activities is more than a little outside his comfort zone. And that’s not even counting the resort’s newest adventure guide who seems determined to terrorize him.


Milo’s survival instincts are screaming at him to stay away from Nora. But when she unexpectedly comes to his rescue—and Milo admits that he maybe, possibly has feelings for her—what started as a crush might turn into the adventure neither saw coming. 

 



COMING MAY 26th!!!

REVIEW:  #RESORT CRUSH (LAKEVIEW HARBOR) BY SAMANTHA CHASE 

#Resort Crush (Lakeview Harbor Book 4)#Resort Crush by Samantha Chase
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sweet temptation meets endearing drama. Milo and Nora are a match made for heartache. #Resort Crush brings all the feels. From spicy to sweet is a dance with heartbreak that never misses a step. Chase pushes every button from emotional to sensory and creates a rhythm that's haunting to the soul.

BLURB:


Some fires are meant to cleanse… theirs are meant to destroy.


The Iron Flame MC doesn’t just ride dirty–they profit from it. Torch the building. File the claim. Collect the payout. No witnesses. No loose ends.


I was supposed to be neither.


Just a job. A dirty one–but I made a mistake the second I stepped into their world. I caught his attention.


He’s the one they send when things get messy. Cold eyes. Blood on his hands. No mercy–only control.


And now I belong to him.
Not because I want to.
Because he decided it.


I tell myself I’ll escape before I become another casualty.


But he’s always there. Watching. Waiting. Owning.


And the truth is—the fire isn’t what scares me anymore.


It’s how much I crave the burn.
