XOXO, Summer by S.L. Scott

Amazon Preorder: https://geni.us/XOXOAm

I can’t decide if my new summer tenant—a devastatingly handsome hockey player and single dad—is the answer to my problems or the start of a new one.  

 

When big-city developers threaten to buy up my small town, I need to save the rental cottage next door from demolition. I have a plan . . . until Daniel Sutton checks in.  

 

Six-four, a face chiseled by the gods, and a body built by a career on the ice, I’m knocked sideways. He’s charming with me and adorable with his son. And when we touch, it’s electric. 

 

But two things change everything. The pipes break in the cottage, and his agent calls. Before I can stop myself, I’m offering him a place to stay, and Daniel is offering me the answer to my problems. He’ll buy the cottage for me if I help him clean up his reputation.  

 

Sounds simple enough. But when I start to fall in love with him, even though I know he’s leaving in a few months, it’s suddenly more complicated than ever.  

 

I’m willing to take a chance on us and pour my heart into a letter. But with him skating on thin ice, he’s going to have to sacrifice something—me or his career. 

 

I just hope XOXO, Summer isn’t the last thing I ever get to say to him.

One small town. Two powerful families. Thirty years of bad blood threatening to tear everything down.

New York Times bestselling author Ruth Cardello continues the high-stakes drama of the Firebrook Valley series. Get ready for a soulful, slow-burn, brother’s-best-friend romance that proves some fires don’t just smolder; they consume. One spark is about to set everything ablaze.

She’s innocence and sunshine.

I’m nomadic and jaded.

Neither of us belongs in Firebrook Valley, but here we are, trying to put out fires we didn’t light.

If she wasn’t dating my brother . . .

If I didn’t know I’d hurt her when I leave again . . . maybe I’d finally ask myself why I’ve always gone out of my way to make sure she’s okay.

I need to stay away from her because it's killing me that the only woman I want is the one I can’t have.

I've spent my life creating my own sunshine even in the middle of storms. But this time, I'm caught between two angry brothers and a whole lot of family drama. And, somehow, I'm the one tasked to fix this.

The feud between our fathers is heating up, and so are my exchanges with Evan.

My father’s afraid I’m falling for a Holliston.

And I am, just not the one he thinks I am.

Evan has been my secret guardian angel ever since we were children. Can I get him to wake up and see past the chaos to me before he leaves again?

In Firebrook Valley, the only thing more heartbreaking than falling for the man your family doesn’t want you with . . . is lusting after the one fighting for you to have the right to be with his brother.

One small town. Two powerful families. Thirty years of bad blood.

New York Times bestselling author Ruth Cardello returns to her billionaire world-building with the first book in the Firebrook Valley series. Get ready for a high-stakes, forced-proximity romance and a town you’ll want to return to over and over again.

Drew:

Was her goal to intimidate me? Is that why she called for a meeting here, in Boston, at this dusty, old-world exclusive club? If so, she doesn’t know me as well as she thinks she does.

I’m the “find out” part of FAFO.

And I’m only here because she said she needed help with a matter regarding my sister.

They say, “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.”

How close is too close? I’m willing to test that limit.

Bella:

My family calls me “the fixer”, but I’m at a loss this time. It probably wasn’t a good idea to ask for help from the son of the man my father has been openly trying to destroy for decades.

But desperate times call for desperate measures.

Is Drew Burke hot? Yes.

Surprisingly willing to help me? Also yes.

My plan to save both of our families from imploding relies on us working together.

This wasn’t supposed to lead to us tangled up in each other’s lives, waking up in each other’s beds.

And, so far, it’s not making the situation better.

Because in Firebrook Valley, the only thing worse than working with the son of your family’s rival is falling in love with him.

 My Forever Girl by Laura Pavlov is releasing June 2nd!

Duet Narration performed by: Connor Crais & Savannah Peachwood

"....a chance to revisit old friends and discover new romance.  Cutler and Gracie seduce emotions with a sweetness that lingers on the soul.  Love takes a stroll down memory lane to get to the heart of the matter." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

Release Date: June 2, 2026

Model/Ebook Cover Designer: Hang Le

Photographer: Regina Wamba

Gracie Reynolds and I have been best friends since we were kids.
She’s smart, kind, funny, beautiful—and one of the best parts of my life.
When Gracie walks into a room, people notice.
I always notice.

But when she moved across the world with a guy I despised, it felt like I’d lost a piece of myself.
I missed her in ways I still can’t explain.

Now she’s back— and she’s crashing at my place for a couple of months while she figures things out.
She’s single and ready for a fresh start.
I’ve always had her back, and that hasn’t changed.

What has changed?
The way that she looks at me.
The way I can’t stop looking at her.
So, when Gracie makes me a once in a lifetime proposition—obviously, I'm all in.
But this isn't your average gray area—it's a full-on, sweat-inducing, five chili pepper detour we never meant to take.

Gracie has big dreams though, and I’d never be the guy to hold her back.
Even if all I want…is to be the reason that she stays.

Crossing a line has never felt this good.

I’m what you’d call a good girl—at least that’s what my family thinks. But I’m tired of living by everyone else’s rules. So when I sneak into a scandalous, masked costume party and spot Beau Walker—my longtime crush and my family’s sworn enemy—I do something bold: I cross the one line that's utterly forbidden.

Hidden by shadows and masks, we lose ourselves in the hottest night of my life. Until I accidentally moan his name, and everything comes crashing to a halt. 

Beau says things I can’t forget, and my fantasy of him shatters along with my heart.

But when suspicious fires break out at the high school where I teach, I’m forced to see the one firefighter I wish I could forget. 

And when our long-smoldering tension finally ignites, the heat between us lights up the sky—and reveals a danger neither of us saw coming.

Victoria

Being offered a job in a brand-new city wasn’t something I was planning on.

Neither was meeting him at a random hotel bar that same night.

We shared a drink, flirted, and then one thing led to another.

We exchanged first names, and I escaped the next morning with a quick goodbye.

I never expected to see him again.

I especially never expected him to come face-to-face with him at my brother’s house.

As the new coach of the team.

Zane

I was the youngest coach in the NHL.

I had to focus on one thing and one thing only.

My job.

It’s the only thing I had time for.

Until I came face-to-face with the stranger I thought I would never see again.

She’s off-limits in every sense of the word.

Not just because she’s younger than me.

She’s the sister to my star player.

Meet Natasha Madison:

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…

Harbored By My Mate by Luna Wilder releases on May 15th!

https://geni.us/HarboredByMyMate

Available on All Platforms

She’s his, and he’ll do anything to keep her safe.

Knox

I made it through one deployment before I was injured and discharged.

Now I’m back in Night Grove Falls and trying to figure out what to do with my life.

The Midnight Haven has helped give me purpose, but there’s still something missing.

Or someone.

When Daisy runs into me when I’m out on patrol, I know that I’ve just found my missing piece.

She’s running from the law, so I take her home where I can keep her safe.

I know that I’m harboring a fugitive, but that’s not going to stop me from keeping my mate here with me.

Now that I've found her, nothing is going to take her from me.

Daisy

The charges against me are bogus.

My neighbor, Joe, is a cop and has been obsessed with me for years.

I thought that we were just friends, but when I went over to his house one night for dinner, I stumbled across something startling.

He has photos of me, hundreds, videos too.

It’s then that I realize that he’s not my friend.

He’s a stalker.

I try to create some distance between us, but he’s always there, always watching.

So, I try to file a restraining order, and that’s when things escalate.

Suddenly, I’m wanted for grand larceny, a crime I didn’t commit.

I know that I won’t get a fair trial, not here, so I run.

Straight into Knox.

I expect him to turn me in, but instead, he surprises me.

He says that I’m his.

Now I’m questioning if I’ve traded in one stalker for another, and wondering why I like having all of Knox’s attention when I hated having Joe’s.
