Release Date: January 5, 2026


With one scowl, I fell just that much harder for Callum Ashford—NFL star turned small town brewer. He’s not only older, but he’s my brother’s best friend. Two very important reasons I should stay away.
Only two years ago, after the worst night of my life, he kissed me and I can’t keep him off my mind.
When the only house available to rent in town happens to be the one across the street from him, the close proximity does its work.
We can’t keep our hands off each other. Yet as the heat rises, so do feelings. He might want me, but he wants peace more.
There’s a darkness within him I know he fights. Just as there are secrets his family needs to uncover. But when the danger comes full force, it won’t be from the obvious corner. No, we both have our pasts we chose to hide.
And our fears.
Yet when I break, he catches me.
And I hope I have the strength to do the same.

**Legacy is an age gap, best friend’s little sister, small town romance and the first in the Ashford Creek series featuring Callum and Felicity. Each one can be read as a complete standalone. A HEA is guaranteed!**

🔗 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.

The Anniversary Collection features new edits and bonus scenes for this series, with special edition covers and sneak peeks at future books.

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.

HAPPY BOOK WEEK


📘 NEW & NOW LIVE 🎉


Unearthing Gaia's Heartstone by Brenda Trim is live on Amazon and FREE in KindleUnlimited!







🔗 https://geni.us/GaiasHeartstone




Being a Relic Keeper is never simple, but this time I might be in over my head.

When a mysterious artifact called Gaia's Heartstone goes missing from a secretive coven in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, I'm called in to retrieve it—because that's what I do. But containing dangerous magical relics before they cause catastrophic damage is never easy, and something is definitely off about this new job.

Glowing groundwater, plants aging decades in hours, and random gravity wells are just the appetizers on this smorgasbord of magical chaos. I'm also up against the Sisters of the Northern Pines who aren't telling me everything. And heir leader Sylvia has secrets darker than the ancient forests she protects.

There's just no such thing as a simple assignment in this business.

With my best friends Kaiya and Aeira by my side, we're diving into a centuries-old conspiracy and nothing is as it seems. The Heartstone isn't just a magical trinket—it's alive, it's choosing sides, and it might just select me as its new vessel. Did I mention relic keeping doesn't come with hazard pay?

I've handled treacherous artifacts before, but this one threatens to reshape the very earth beneath our feet. And I'm beginning to think containing it might require a sacrifice I'm not prepared to make.

If I fail, it won't just be Michigan's wilderness that pays the price—the magical balance of the entire world hangs in the balance. No pressure, right?
