Hit The Ground (The Kelly Ranch) by Julia Wolf is now live in audio!


"Hit the Ground blends sultry and sweet to create irresistible. From addictive to unpredictable, Masters and Wilder push emotions outside of their comfort zone. Haunting and unforgettable go hand in hand." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)


Narrated by: Emma Wilder & Sean Masters





Caleb Kelly has been my secret weakness since the day I moved to Sugar Brush, Wyoming.

I spend my days among the stacks as the town’s librarian and my nights serving drinks at Joy’s Elbow Room. It’s safe, predictable, and a little boring. The only thing that makes my pulse kick is when Caleb Kelly walks through the door and takes a seat at one of my tables.

Four years of stolen glances, watching him laugh with his family, listening to him talk about his son, and pretending he doesn’t unravel me just by saying my name. Alice.

Then one reckless night, I steal a kiss. And for one perfect, heart-stopping second, he kisses me back.

But the thing is, Caleb doesn’t date. He has his son, his ranch, and no room for anything—or anyone—else.

So I finally stop waiting, stop hoping, stop hiding. It’s way past time to begin living my life on my own terms.

Just as I start to move forward, trouble knocks me back. And when I need someone the most, Caleb is the one by my side again and again, standing between me and the worst of it. His steady, fierce presence is impossible to ignore.

I should know better than to keep falling for a man who told me he can’t give me more. I should walk away before I get hurt again.

It’s just that every time he shows up, every time he really sees me, every time he stays, my heart refuses to listen.

But letting him in might be the one thing I can’t come back from.

Raising my cousin’s three kids wasn’t in my five-year plan.
Actually, it wasn’t in any plan.

One minute I’m a single labor and delivery nurse living a quiet life and the next, I’m navigating guardianship hearings, meltdowns, and homework I’m pretty sure requires a math degree.

Enter Hayes Carlisle.

My best friend’s older brother.
Chicago Colts newest catcher.
And the man I once kissed and immediately pretended I didn’t.

So, when the custody battle I’ve been dreading becomes a reality, I shouldn’t be surprised that Hayes swoops in with a wild idea—a fake relationship. According to him, pretending we’re together will polish his image and prove to the court I’m not taking on an instant family alone.

But pretending to be Hayes’ girlfriend is a terrible idea.

Because he remembers how to make me laugh.
Because he looks at me like our kiss wasn’t a one-time mistake.
Because the kids start asking him to read bedtime stories.
Because my heart starts wanting things my life doesn’t have room for.

I can manage the chaos. I can fight for these kids.
But pretending not to fall for Hayes Carlisle?

That might be the one thing I can’t do.

Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…

🔥Silver fox sheriff

🔥Wanderlust urban artist

🔥Small town

🔥One night reunite 

🔥Opposites attract

🔥He's protective

🔥She's restless

🔥Eldest brother responsible for large family

🔥All the steam




This small town *could* be big enough for both of them . . .

Quiet. Serious. Protective. All words Stone Sylver would use to describe himself. And yet, something in his classic blue eyes said he was so much more. Buried beneath the  years of raising his younger siblings and being a small town sheriff was a man looking for love.

Of course, I didn’t get all that the first night we met. The night we did a one-two step in a hotel hallway and knocked heads. The same night we shared a sweet potato cupcake and a single kiss. 

Why didn’t we share more? The moment became a great mystery to me and because I thought he was only a brief interlude in my wanderlust life, I wasn’t prepared to see him again in Sterling Falls.

Visiting the small town where I once lived, I learn the man who I witnessed act like a superhero was more entwined in my past than I’d remembered. And for a woman often afraid of a future, I suddenly craved one…with him. Which made no sense as I’d never stuck in one place before. No one had ever asked me to stay.

Then again, from our first encounter, I knew Stone Sylver was different.

Briar

My father gave me the family brewery as an early Christmas present.

Generous, right? Except every single person on staff just quit, and I only have a budget that'll last through the end of the year.

I need a miracle.

Lucky for me, my best friend Hannah's big brother, Liam, is a genius brewer, and she convinces him to quit his job and come work for me. She only has one condition: I can never date him.

It's an easy agreement to make. I've vowed to stay away from men after an embarrassing breakup, and I'd never sleep with someone who works for me. Besides, Liam's an amateur boxer and frankly a bit terrifying.

Only...it turns out my best friend's brooding, insanely talented big brother is the only man who's ever really understood me.

Liam

I promised my sister not to date any more of her friends, because the last time I tried, it ended badly. Very badly.

I took this job thinking it wouldn't be a problem to stay away from Briar. She's a daddy's girl who looks like a princess and talks like a boarding school teacher. Not my type.

But the woman I wrote off knows a lot about beer, and she's a whole lot tougher than I gave her credit for. I want to run this brewery with her...and I want her too.

To my complete shock, I'm falling hard for my boss, and if my sister finds out, there will be hell to pay.

Note: There are TWO different versions of this romcom:

1) A spicy open door version with some strong language and sex scenes

2) A closed door version with mild language and only kissing.

Please choose the version that's best for you!

Safe Haven (Triple Creek Ranch #1) by Kristen Proby 


"Proby forces the heart to confront life at it's most painful. From the love of  family to the heartache of loss, Safe Haven dares to put the soul on full display." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release Date: February 17, 2026


From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an emotional romance where two best friends reunite at Triple Creek Ranch, proving that home is where love finds its way.

Fifteen years ago, my best friend found salvation at the Triple Creek Ranch, transforming from an angry foster kid into a hockey legend. Now, with his adoptive father’s death forcing him home, Ryker’s trading his hockey stick for ranch life—and I’m not sure my heart can handle having him this close again.

I’ve spent the past decade raising my troubled nephew alone while building my career as an audiobook narrator. When my boy needs a fresh start, Ryker offers us sanctuary at the ranch. But living under the same roof with the man who’s always owned my heart ignites feelings I’ve tried hard to bury.

Between helping manage a struggling ranch, watching my nephew find his way, and dealing with the shadows of Ryker’s fame, we discover our connection is stronger than ever. But when threats from his past surface, we’ll have to decide if our second chance is worth fighting for.

Safe Haven (Triple Creek Ranch, #1)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Proby forces the heart to confront life at it's most painful. From the love of family to the heartache of loss, Safe Haven dares to put the soul on full display. Willow and Ryker are a reminder that the broken parts are the most beautiful ones. Vulnerability is a badge of courage that shows the world what strength really means.

Release Date: February 26, 2026


Poppy Hart is one viral project away from hitting a million followers when she inherits a crumbling Mid Century Modern house in the Hollywood Hills—every DIYer’s dream. Even better, her eccentric Aunt Opal pulls strings to land her a full-production renovation show. The downside? The contractor is none other than Decker “Drill ’Em Hard” Jamison, former NHL legend, current shirtless menace, and the man Poppy once shared the most catastrophic blind date in the history of blind dates with. Walking away isn’t an option—not when this show could change her life and Opal is the only person who’s never abandoned her.

Decker isn’t exactly thrilled either. After a career-ending injury and one very unfortunate neon-orange-thong scandal, he needs a PR miracle, not six weeks trapped with a judgmental, freckled DIY princess who thinks a good time is alphabetizing paint samples. Still, the contract is signed, the cameras are rolling, and neither of them knows the the “renovation show” is actually Opal’s secret matchmaking experiment, and Poppy and Decker are her final, most chaotic test subjects. Soon they’re drowning in viewer-dictated challenges, mysterious house mishaps, and a rescue dog with better instincts than either of them—while the sparks they swore they’d never feel again start burning dangerously close.

But when the truth about the show explodes—on camera—trust fractures, loyalties snap, and Poppy is left wondering why being abandoned by Decker hurts worse than anything before. The only way to fix what’s broken is for both of them to take the biggest risk of telling the truth, choosing each other, and betting that sometimes the real love experiment isn’t filmed for television—it's the one that changes your life for good.



REVIEW: THE FIX -UP BY MARINA ADAIR

The Fix Up
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A pocket full of sunshine masquerading as a battle of wills. Decker and Poppy keep the laughs coming, the heart racing and the temptation on high alert. Humor and heart join forces with unforgettable results. From depth of emotion to the heat of attraction, The Fix-Up is a heartbreaker that dares to make it's own rules.

The Grump Next Door by Kendall Ryan


"From over the top humor to under the radar emotion, Dean and Poppy are combustible fun. Ryan aims for the senses, yet somehow ends up owning the heart." - (Isha C ., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release Date February 11, 2026


One guest house. One week. One slow-burn disaster waiting to happen.

Dean Whitaker has zero interest in weddings, fairy lights, or the perky woman currently turning his guest house into a scented-candle crime scene.

He’s a divorce attorney. He thrives on prenups, logic, and not getting glitter on his suits.

Poppy Monroe is a wedding planner with a checklist for everything—except how to survive living next door to a hot, brooding, tightly wound lawyer—aka the groom’s brother.

They’re opposites in every way—except for the undeniable chemistry neither of them wants to talk about.

Their mission: survive one week of wedding chaos.

Her sunshine and glitter pens.
His whiskey and restraint.

Opposites attract. Then they combust.

Ryan aims for the senses, yet somehow ends up owning the heart. From over the top humor to under the radar emotion, Dean and Poppy are combustible fun. The Grump Next Door is a force to be reckoned with.

I picked up a groom on the side of the road on the way to a wedding.


One problem: I wasn’t the bride.

Sometimes things happen for a reason and six months later, I’m back in Clover Lake and Sharp McBride is single, not-so-heartbroken, and my new best friend.


Only neither one of us wants to be just friends.


I don’t know where his heart belongs, and I don’t want to be the person to break what’s left. Yet I’m only in town for a short time and I’m not sure I’m made for small time life.


And if we’re not careful, this time I might have to be the one who runs away.

FOREVER UNDONE BY J. SAMAN

Release Date: February 16, 2026




Blurb:

I never should have agreed to marry my older brother's best friend, but I was in a bit of a jam.

Aston Hughes is gorgeous, arrogant, and irritatingly broody. The single dad is also the new trauma surgeon at my hospital and my temporary roommate. 

Two years ago, we shared a mistaken kiss during a blackout, and nothing's been right between us since.

So really, I shouldn't have said yes when he suggested a marriage of convenience. 

But after leaving my bad ex behind, I discover I'm pregnant with his baby, and I'm scared.

Aston offers to marry me as protection from my ex in exchange for helping out with his daughter, who needs more stability in her life after recently losing her mother. It's an unfortunate no-brainer. 

Only what starts as a simple business arrangement quickly turns messy. Heated. And soon he's no longer fighting with me but for me as he calls me his wife and claims my baby as his.

Except nothing is that simple or easy for any of us.

Now here I am, falling for the hotshot doctor and his daughter while our lives come undone around us.

About the book:📕 


CREED + BIRDEE

All Birdee Calvert wanted was to be normal.


She wanted the parents who didn’t divorce when she was a kid and make her life a living nightmare. She wanted the sisters who actually liked her. She wanted to live in a town where everyone loved her and didn’t have a single bad thing to say about her.


That was not the life Birdee was given.


She had the exact opposite life. The kind of life where she slunk through the grocery store with a hoodie on so no one would recognize her. The kind of life where men like Creed Daugherty didn’t give her a second look.


After years of abuse and heartache, she built walls. Big, huge, thick ones that no one could ever breach. If she didn’t put forth the effort to get to know someone, she couldn’t be hurt.

At least, that was the theory.


She never counted on Creed 


Daugherty hitting her with his truck. Then, deciding that once he entered her life, he would never leave it.

Though Birdee should’ve known that Creed was too good to be true.

All it takes is one mistake on her part, and Creed freezes her out. Then forces the rest of the town to make it almost impossible for her to live in Sawtooth, Montana, anymore.

Birdee only thought it couldn’t get worse.


But Creed makes sure to show her that it can and will.


The thing about rock bottom?


Once you’re there, you have nothing else to lose.


And Creed Daugherty just made himself enemy number one.

COMMANDED (A THORNED THISTLE DARK ROMANCE) BY MERRIGAN CALDER


"....a haunting captivation. From the heat of attraction to the heartache of romance, Commanded dares to explore desire at it's darkest." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)





Release DateFebruary 27, 2026


At a remote Highland estate, a commanding dominant offers two broken souls sanctuary—and a chance to surrender to the darkest desires they've denied themselves.

KIERNAN
I see what they hide the moment they arrive—Ophelia’s desperate need to surrender beneath her masks, Oliver’s craving to submit hidden under all that dominance. I want to strip away every false layer and claim them both. What I don’t anticipate is how commanding them will leave me just as exposed.

OLIVER
I hadn’t questioned who I was until I discovered the Thorned Thistle, near the estate where we’ve taken refuge. My attraction to Kiernan confuses me, and my need to protect Ophelia while surrendering to him terrifies me. Between them, I’m forced to accept a truth I’ve been running from: I crave the surrender as much as the control.

OPHELIA
I’ve spent my life performing, becoming whoever others need me to be. But Kiernan sees through every mask, and Oliver protects me like I’m worth saving. Between commanding dominance and fierce devotion, I can finally stop thinking and just feel. For the first time, I can surrender to what I’ve always craved.
