BLURB

Gentry found Sage on the worst day of her life.

He saves her from a fate worse than hell, and in return, she ruins his life.

Not on purpose, though.

No, the men who think to rule her life don’t like that she has a champion on her side and realize the best way to get back at her is to go through him.

They find a really great way to do it, too.

They frame him for a crime he didn’t intentionally commit and sentence him to spend thirteen years in prison. As an added bonus, they take his child—the one thing that matters most to him— just to remind him that they hold all the power.

But Sage will never let them have any power over her.

That’s why, the day before he’s sentenced to prison, Sage offers the only protection she can think to give him. Her hand in marriage.

For seven years, Sage fights to get her husband-in-name-only free.

Just when she thinks she’s close, she gets the news. Her husband has died in a prison riot, leaving her free to marry another.

That’s when she decides to run.

And where does her running take her? Right into the arms of a man who was supposed to be dead.

Moran Sisters Series


NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding the Moran Sisters of Magnolia Ridge, Tennessee.

The Moran Sisters Series is a collection of interconnected small-town romances about love, loss, and the pull of coming home, and the people who make it impossible to leave. From the fiercely loyal older sister who swore off love, to the free spirit running from her past, the quiet heart who’s always lingered on the sidelines, and the firecracker who masks fear with laughter, each sister is about to fall hard for the last man she ever expected.


Four books:

1 - Trying Not to Love You

2 - Trying Not to Need You

3 - Trying Not to Kiss You

4 - Trying Not to Hate You
 






Blurb:

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series set in a small town, surrounding four sisters. Trying Not to Love You is a small-town, second-chance, first-love, ex-military romance.

Ellison

Copeland James was my first love, my first heartbreak, my first everything.

Then he left without explanation, and never came back.

My sisters and our closest friends helped me pick up the pieces, but my heart hasn’t been whole since the day he walked out of Magnolia Ridge.

I’ve learned to live with what could have been… until his mother’s illness brings him back to our small town. He’s older, harder, and more magnetic than I remember.

He’s a man now. The man I learned to live without. And yet, he’s back, stirring everything I thought I’d buried, making my world feel unsteady.

Because loving him nearly destroyed me… and now, I’m still trying not to love him.

Copeland

I left Magnolia Ridge with nothing but a duffel bag and a decision.

I told myself joining the Marines was the right choice. That loving her meant protecting her, and this was the way to do it.

I was wrong.

Now I’m back, years later, and she’s just as breathtaking as the day I left. All these years, I imagined she’d have moved on, married someone else, but she’s still single, and in my heart, she’s still mine.

But Ellison doesn’t see me the way I see her, not anymore. All I find in her eyes is the wound I left behind. The one that never healed.

I didn’t fight for us back then, but I’ve learned. Now I’m ready for battle, fighting for what we could be while she tries not to love me.

HAPPY BOOK WEEK: FALLING INTO YOU (COLBURN BROTHERS #3) BY JILL SHALVIS

 





#NewRelease



#Spotlight


FALLING INTO YOU (COLBURN BROTHERS #3) BY JILL SHALVIS is #NowLive!


"Tempestuous, attraction delivers irresistible, heartache. Falling Into You is the kind of what-if, the soul won't let you forget." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release Date: July 14, 2026



FALLING INTO YOU is a swoony, small-town, second-chance romance full of the Colburn family chaos, forced-proximity hijinks…and a grumpy hero who never stopped loving her.

Some love stories don’t stay buried, no matter how far you run.

Hazel Pierce has three goals for coming back to Star Falls:

1. Help her estranged dad.

2. Keep things strictly temporary.

3. Absolutely, under no circumstances, fall for Tucker Colburn again.

 That plan dies a dramatic, soggy death when a rogue wasp sting sends Hazel swerving off the road and into the river—only to be hauled out, half-drowned and furious, by the Star Falls Fire Department’s finest. Unfortunately, “finest” is ex–best friend, ex–one-night mistake, and the man she’s been avoiding for a decade.

 Tucker’s always had a way of getting into her head. And now between a family that thrives on gossip and a town that’s way too small for all this chemistry, Hazel’s running out of ways to avoid the truth. As sparks turn into late-night confessions and slow, toe-curling kisses, Hazel has to decide if she’s done running—from her past, from this town, and from the only man who’s ever made her feel like home. And Tucker has to prove that this time, he’s not just her safe place to crash—he’s her always.

#TheColburnBrothers





A trilogy of three unruly brothers, where adventures and shenanigans abound, as well as guaranteed, heart-stopping and heart-melting happily-ever-afters (with a blink and you’ll miss it overarching mystery)  You’ll want to read this series in order! :)


Series Page (Colburn Brothers): https://www.jillshalvis.com/series/colburn-brothers




Book #1: He Falls First

"Shalvis stirs up trouble with heat, humor and heart. Penny and Ryder thrive on being unpredictable. From surprise revelations to never ending shenanigans this duo is sure to keep emotions invested and readers craving more." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)


"The perfect escape! You'll fall for He Falls First!" —Lucy Score, #1 New York Times bestselling author

No one is going to convince her to fall in love again…

Ryder Colburn has his hands full running the family business and caring for the ailing father who’s a virtual stranger from the cold, heavy-handed man he used to be. He’s got zero free time for hobbies or women. Or so he thinks until one walks into his life… and the path of an oncoming truck.

Ryder doesn’t mind playing the hero for the skittish, wounded chef Penny Rose. Maybe it’s the secrets in her eyes or the bandage along her jaw. Whatever the reason, he’s compelled to get closer.

Penny’s learned her lesson and now she’s paying the price. That’s why she’s sharing a dilapidated house in a tiny California town with her feisty grandmother and tween brother living off the leftovers from her catering job. It’s a far cry from her dream life. But who needs dreams… or love… or sex…when there’s amateur plumbing projects to tackle and breakfast casseroles to bake?

One thing’s for sure, she’s never falling for a man again. Not even the sexy, snarky contractor who keeps testing the walls she’s built.

Book #2: Free Falling


"Caleb and Emma are irresistible. Shalvis has readers falling down the rabbit hole of romance with heartwarming vigor. A beautiful mess becomes an enduring love story that sticks to the soul ...." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




College rivals become workplace frenemies-turned-lovers in this warm, sexy contemporary romance from New York Times bestseller Jill Shalvis. First, they were rivals… Now they're stuck with each other…


Retired hockey player Caleb Colburn needs this construction project to prove himself in the family business, but he also needs to recover from the injury that ended his pro career. Too bad Emma Sumner, architect liaison and Caleb's college nemesis, is back in town and assigned to the project. They're going to have to see each other almost every day. Which means once again she'll make his life a living hell.

As for Emma, her job is on the line with this big project, made all the more challenging by the project manager. Caleb was the one who had snagged the scholarship she'd desperately needed to stay in college. She's been living hand to mouth ever since and has no intention of ever forgiving the man.

But the beautiful historic building they're renovating is exactly the kind of project that they both love best. Their surprising common ground and a burning mutual attraction start bringing them closer and closer to a potentially explosive mistake. And that's even before the secrets come out…
