📢 CALLING ALL SMALL TOWN CHRISTMAS ROMANCE FANS 🎄

A Sweetlove Christmas: A Winter in Love by Mandi Raynes is available now!

🔗 https://geni.us/SweetloveXmas




Christmas in Sweetlove was supposed to be temporary, until love made it impossible to leave.

I thought I had it all. A nice apartment in the city, a career that kept me busy, and enough success to prove I’d made it. But with the holidays fast approaching, all I feel is empty. Burned out. Lonely.

Jackson Hunt calls me, like he has every month since my best friend and his wife, Rachel, died. Over the last two years, Jackson and I have helped each other through our grief. Now he’s a widower raising their little girl while running the cafe he built in her memory. When he mentions needing help for the holidays, I don’t even hesitate. Before I can second-guess myself, I’m packing my bags for Sweetlove Mountain.

The second I step into Jackson’s life, it feels like slipping into a place I was always meant to be. The café, the snow-covered streets, the warmth of his family, and most of all, Sophia, the little girl who steals my heart the moment she takes my hand. Working in the kitchen with Jackson brings back everything I’ve been missing, and something I never expected… the spark of more.

But falling for my best friend’s husband was never part of the plan. He’s still healing, and my old life is waiting for me back in the city. Now I have a decision to make. Do I go back to the life I built, or take a chance on love, family, and a Christmas that could change everything?

If you love small town holiday romances, single dad love stories, and friends-to-lovers second chances, A Sweetlove Christmas will sweep you into a cozy, heartwarming happily-ever-after filled with laughter, hope, and the sweetest love of all.

A Winter in Love series brings love to all forms of celebrations. From Christmas to New Years and all the celebrations in between. You will find love on the pages and celebration in your heart. Coming your way this December.

Release Date: December 30, 2025


When no one wants to hear the truth—how far would you go to make them listen?

Cassidy Clarke never planned to chase killers. Her true-crime podcast, Mysteries Uncorked, started as a side project—just three friends, a few glasses of wine, and unsolved cases that fascinated them. But when their audience explodes, the women decide to go on location for their next story: the disappearance of a young woman from a coastal inn in Maine.

For Cassidy, the case hits close to home. The missing woman was last seen at the Stonecross Inn—run by the grandmother she’s never met. Ellen Clarke makes one thing clear when they arrive: she doesn’t want them there. But the microphones are already live, and the listeners are hooked.

As Cassidy and Tessa dig deeper, they uncover whispers of other women who came to Stonecross and never left. The locals refuse to talk. And Ellen knows far more than she’ll say.

Then another woman vanishes. Cassidy’s podcast goes viral, and someone decides it’s time to cut her mic for good.

A chilling, addictive psychological thriller from a #1 NYT Bestselling Author about ambition, small town secrets, and the stories that refuse to stay silent. This female-led psychological thriller follows a woman who investigates an unanswered mystery while challenging a powerful small-town establishment. Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Laura Dave, Freida McFadden, and Lisa Jewell.

REVIEW: IS ANYONE LISTENING? (MYSTERIES UNCORKED: A PODCAST THRILLER SERIES #1) BY BARBARA FREETHY

Is Anyone Listening? (Mysteries Uncorked: A Podcast Thriller Series Book 1)

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Intrigue that starts at the senses and shakes up the heart. Nobody does chilling like Barbara Freethy. Is Anyone Listening?, tiptoes through the shadows of the soul to find it's way into the light. From a maze of secrets to a masquerade of danger, Freethy turns haunting into addictive.

IT'S A HIT!

And perfect for fans of arranged marriage mafia romance...

Santa's Hitlist by E.C. Land is available now!

🔗 https://geni.us/SantasHitlist




Santa’s got a list and it’s not the one for naughty or nice.

Calder

I work for a dangerous man with a very short fuse. And my next job is to deliver eternal damnation to a list of his most deserving enemies.

I'm about to seal my orders in gunpowder and lead when a new proposition falls at my feet. Marrying the daughter of my boss's fiercest rival is easy enough.

But bringing Emrie to heel is much harder than I anticipated. Then she learns who I am and what I really do and the chase is on.

I should be issuing death warrants like Santa hands out gifts. Instead I'm hunting my bride like she's nothing more than prey. By Christmas day, she’s going to know just where she belongs.
