Emma

I never meant to fall for Hawke Sheppard.

Hockey.

Scoring goals.

Having fun with my friends.

That was all I should have been concentrating on. Not the star quarterback from All Saints Academy, our rival school. But Hawke was the untouchable golden boy from the opposite side of town who had more money than I would even know what to do with. He was gorgeous, nice, and made me believe we were destined to be together.

Then with one quick phone call, he was gone. Leaving town and taking my broken heart with him.

Four years later, and he's back. But gone is the wholesome boy I fell for, and in his place is a man who is willing to do whatever it takes to have me again. Too bad I'm not the same girl he left behind.

He says he is chasing dreams of being in the NFL, and I really shouldn't believe him when he says that dream includes me. Or melt when he calls me Sugar. I made the mistake of falling for his promises before, and he lied. I'm determined not to believe him again. He is a Saint after all.

#NewRelease




#HBW


The deluxe limited edition hardcover of Pen Pal by J.T. Geissinger is available now!


From New York Times bestseller J.T. Geissinger comes a high-octane, tautly written dark romance with an unforgettable twist that will leave readers gasping for more!





A beautiful Deluxe Limited Edition of the viral sensation and national bestseller Pen Pal, featuring:

•Designed stenciled edges
•Full-color art on reverse of the dust jacket
•All-new full-color illustrated endpapers
•A foil case stamp

• First chapter of Pen Pal: Afterlife













It all began with just one line.

“I’ll wait forever if I have to.”


The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. It was postmarked from the state penitentiary, and contained a single sentence:

I’ll wait forever if I have to.

It was signed by Dante, a man I didn’t know.

Out of simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for. His reply?

You.

I told the mystery man he had the wrong girl. He said he didn’t. I said we’d never met, but he said I was wrong.

We went back and forth, exchanging letters every week that grew increasingly more intimate. Then one day, the letters stopped. When I found out why, it was already too late.

Dante was at my doorstep.

And nothing on earth could have prepared me for what happened next.

#AudioAlert




#HBW



From USA Today bestselling author Willow Aster comes a heartfelt second-chance romance about a cowboy and a single mom wrangling their tragic past into hope for the future on a proud Wyoming ranch.


A car accident on prom night changes everything for eighteen-year-old Maverick Harrington. In a flash, he loses two best friends: one who dies in the crash, the other who carries the blame. Finding hate easier than grief, Maverick’s heart slowly hardens. Now twelve years later, he runs Harrington Ranch, bearing the family name on his shoulders and wearing the past like a brand on his heart.


Iris Sullivan didn’t have the sense to leave Ironwood, where loyalty is law. She’s raised her son in the same town that turned its back on her, surviving on stubborn resilience as a single mother. When a golden opportunity takes her back to Harrington Ranch, she comes face-to-face with the man who once said she was dead to him. But forced proximity has a way of weakening defenses.


As old secrets and new sparks ignite, Maverick starts to see the woman behind the whispers—and the twelve-year-old boy whose legacy he can’t ignore.

The Last Goodbye (Blue Sky Bay #2) by Laura Pavlov is #NowLive!


" ....a snapshot of moments that leaves the soul spellbound. The heat of attraction meets the heart of romance and finds it's soul somewhere in the middle." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release Date: October 6, 2026

Paperback Cover Designer: Entangled Publishing





A Small Town, Enemies-to-Lovers Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.

Briar Sinclair is enemy number one.

She came to Blue Sky Bay with a multimillion-dollar plan and one goal: to buy my restaurant.

Too bad it’s not for sale.

She’s pulled every stunt in the book to get my attention, though I refuse to engage with a woman who came here to ruin my life—no matter how relentless she is.

Unfortunately, my restaurant is the last thing standing in the way of her powerful father’s approval.

She’s determined to convince me that this is a good idea.

We can agree to disagree.

But that doesn’t mean I’m not enjoying the effort that she’s putting in.

One minute she’s arguing with me about real estate, the next she’s tripping outside my houseboat or falling asleep behind my restaurant after working herself to exhaustion.

Did I mention the fact that she’s insanely beautiful.

I should hate her for what she’s trying to do. Instead, I can’t stop noticing her pretty pink mouth or her sharp tongue.

The more we clash, the harder it becomes to remember that she’s the enemy.

Because somewhere between the arguments, late nights, and undeniable attraction—Briar Sinclair stopped feeling like the woman trying to destroy my future…and she started feeling like she belonged in it.

The first time Courtland Navarro saw Charleigh Lynn Kensington, she was yelling at her old boss about a yeast infection.

Court didn’t know that his heart could even beat after the loss of his late wife, but in that moment, when she was yelling about a bladder infection from hell, he realized that maybe he hadn’t died inside after all.

The second time he saw her, he was protecting her from herself.

The big—actually quite small—bad—more like a pissed-off Chihuahua—Marine thought she could handle herself. And honestly, she might have been able to. But she was five-foot-nothing, had crazy blonde hair, and looked like one hell of an easy target.

To say that they got off on the wrong foot would be an understatement.

Then, searching for something to do with his life after getting out of prison, he finds a mechanic shop for sale. So he buys it.

Little did he know that Charleigh had wanted that shop.

And now she had even more reason to hate him.

She tries her hardest to hold on to the anger, the utter dislike of all things Court Navarro. But Charleigh doesn’t stand a chance.

Court has set his sights on her, and there’s nothing that she can do but surrender.

But, maybe, that was what she wanted all along.

Someone to fight for her.

Top Shelf by Teagan Hunter is now live on audio!


Narrated by: James Cavenaugh & Laurie West 




I have two goals this season:
1. Prove to the Seattle Serpents I’m more than just the old guy.
2. Don’t fall for my captain’s stepsister.


In my defense, I had no clue who Vanessa was when we met. We were in a different city. How was I supposed to know she’s my teammate’s stepsister?


Now she’s in Seattle, still healing from her divorce, and apparently, she’s here to stay. That would be fine if I didn’t still think about our night together every waking hour. Thing is, I do think about it—constantly—and then when I find out she needs a place to live, I offer my spare room.


We’re roommates, and that’s it. Until it isn’t.


We’re just having fun, that’s all. Except nothing feels like just fun. It feels far too real and far too serious, and her stepbrother has no idea about us living together or that I’m slowly falling for her.


So much for focusing on the season…


TOP SHELF is a standalone hockey romance novel. There’s an age gap, a veteran player falling for his teammate’s stepsister, a woman recovering from a broken heart, sneaking around, a one-night stand, one bed, lots of steam, ridiculous group chats amongst teammates, and a happy ending.

Narrated by Holly Warren


"Warren turns haunting into hopeful. Emotion that aims for the heart, yet sticks to the soul." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)



Release Date: October 6, 2026


If he kisses me right now, I’ll drown.


Every sip of air is shallow and burning, because in the arms of my best friend’s brother, I’m the closest I’ve ever been to sin.


His eyes flick to my lips, and I remember the first time I tasted him, seven years ago before I left this town and vowed never to return. His hands grip my waist, and I remember the pain when he rejected me, when my entire world crashed down at his command. His jaw clenches, and my senses come alive with one stinging reminder.


I’m not his to kiss, and he’s not mine.


I tried to stay away from Tyler Wagner, putting an entire country between us. But when his sister’s wedding brings us back to the same town, to the same house, I can’t avoid him, no matter how hard I try.


He’s always there, his dark eyes bewitching, luring me into their depths. The memory of us pulls me under like a rip current, and when he flashes that smile, I lose my breath, along with my will, unable to escape his grip and find the surface.


Now, hours before our plus ones arrive for the wedding, I’m in his arms, begging him to make me hate him, knowing he never could.


If he kisses me right now, I’ll drown.


And I’ll take him down with me.

TEMPTING MR. KNIGHTLY (THE BILLIONAIRE HEARTS CLUB) BY KELLY COLLINS is #nowavailable!


"...the sweetest kind of addiction. From laugh out loud to break your heart, Knox and Lucy are impossible to resist." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)





Release Date: October 6, 2026


From romance author Kelly Collins comes Tempting Mr. Knightly, an enemies to lovers, forced proximity, grumpy sunshine standalone novel.

Lucy Wang has built her bakery from nothing, and she’ll be damned if another suit destroys everything she loves. She’s got Flour & Honey, loyal customers, and a protective streak a mile wide. So when her best friend’s wedding forces her into the orbit of Knox Knightly—arrogant, insufferable, and far too handsome for his own good—she knows exactly what he is: trouble. The kiss at the engagement party was a mistake. The fact that she can’t stop thinking about it is unforgivable.

Knox Knightly has spent fifteen years believing in one truth: love destroys. He watched his father lose everything for it—company, family, dignity—and he signed The Oath to ensure he’d never make the same mistake. Now he’s the last man standing, four years from freedom. But Lucy Wang just walked into his perfectly ordered life with flour in her hair and fire in her eyes, and suddenly “insufferable” feels a lot like “irresistible.”

She despises everything he represents. He can’t stop provoking her. But between forced proximity at wedding planning and late nights at the bakery, the line between enemies and something far more dangerous begins to blur—until Lucy discovers the truth about the investment that destroyed her family’s business eight years ago. And Knox’s signature on the documents.

Can a sharp-tongued baker and a billionaire who doesn’t believe in love survive the revelation that could tear them apart? Or will the sins of the past destroy the future they’re only beginning to want?

– Enemies-to-lovers billionaires who can’t stay away
– Grumpy heroes who fall hard for sunshine heroines
– Bakery romances with real family stakes
– Love that survives a devastating secret
