Charming, sexy, and impossible to say no to, we danced and drank before he took me to his suite and not only shattered my innocence but made me feel alive for the first time. By midnight, I was gone, leaving behind a fallen earring and intending to never see him again.

That is until months later, I'm placed in the palace as a royal servant and put directly in his path.

He doesn't recognize me, but that doesn't mean he trusts me either.

Nor should he.

I'm part of the curse his family can't seem to escape. A slave with an evil agenda. One that's darker and more sinister than death herself.

Only the longer I'm in the palace and the more time I spend with the prince and his family, the harder it is to plot their downfall.

Lines get crossed. Tension and mistrust turn into passion and obsession.

But when everything I thought I knew about my life and the royal family is suddenly flipped upside down and my midnight prince discovers who I am, I have a decision to make.

Run again to save them all. Or burn down both our worlds.

BLURB

When my sick father wanders into the off-limits palace where the widowed king of Messalina lives with his three children, I know we're in trouble.

Locked away since the tragic death of his wife, the whispers of an ancient royal curse are more alive than ever.

And when my father is taken prisoner and I accidentally break a priceless statue, I learn first hand that the rumors of the callous beast king with his gorgeous face and frosty disposition are true.

Especially when he gives me an ultimatum: become the nanny for his children or my father goes to prison.

It isn't until I move into the palace that I see there's life in the walls, passion lurking beneath smoldering glances and forbidden moments, and endless love for three beautiful children—the king's one soft spot.

The longer I stay, the more in love I fall with the children and the man who does all he can to keep his distance. Until one night he shatters my innocence and shows me exactly what it means to be owned by the king.

But this is no fairy tale, and no matter how we feel, we can never be together.

On top of that, there's a darkness we can't escape. A danger lurking, waiting to kill again.

And when it comes for us, there will be no stopping it until it succeeds.

"Dancing in the dark is an emotional experience. Cursed King was a seduction of the heart, but Cursed Queen bleeds straight though the soul. Saman takes a haunting stroll through destiny where two hearts find salvation and hope." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)





BLURB

We thought we broke the curse. I married King Sebastian of Messalina. We're pregnant with twins. His children are happy and thriving in a way they never have. All is finally perfect and as it should be.


But we were wrong. Darkness has returned and with it comes more heartbreak and danger than any of us are prepared for. A darkness that not only seeks death, but to tear us apart for good. This is the continuation of Cursed King and is best listened to in order.

#Excerpt

“Surprise me.”


Without missing a beat, she grabs the closest bottle. It happens to be a Foster House whiskey. The one I named.


“Nice choice.”


She holds it up and studies the label. “Foster House Gold,” she says flatly and slants her gaze toward me. “Haven’s Rye.”


“Foster House Gold is what we call the Huckleberry Springs facility. We make all the fun stuff. Foster House is in Denver, and they make the tried-and-true whiskey that lines the shelves.” My chest puffs out a little. “Haven’s Rye is one of mine.”


“I don’t like rye.” She gives me an almost apologetic smile. “I don’t like whiskey.”


“I can change that. If you want.”


She thinks for a moment, then presses her hands onto the counter and leans in. “Why would I want that?”


A smile twitches at my lips. “Because it can be quite enjoyable—as long as it’s not overdone.”


“Have you ever overdone your whiskey, Hennessy?” Her voice is almost a purr.


“Before I really knew about it, yeah. Now I respect it. It’s an art.”


“It’s whiskey,” she says flatly, but she can’t hide the interested light in her blue eyes.


“It’s an experience.”

๐Ÿค cowboy romance

๐Ÿ€just a fling

๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿปnew in town

๐Ÿ–คoff-limits heroine

๐Ÿ’šsmall town





I came to Huckleberry Springs to regroup—not to flash a cowboy while rescuing some strays from a ditch.

Haven Hennessy is everything I don’t want anyway: A man who puts himself first. A man who’d rather have fun than face commitment. A man who can charm a girl right out of a good decision. So he can kiss my red lace panties goodbye the moment I figure out how to ditch this town.

Yet he takes in the puppy and three kittens I rescue from the side of the road. He’s loyal to his brothers and his company. And he makes it his mission to give me new experiences, like fly-fishing, horseback rides, and getting naked in a tack room.

My stay in this small Montana town is only supposed to be temporary until I can launch a new career. Am I as wrong about that as I am about Haven? Because he makes me feel something no one else ever has: wanted.

But the more I get to know Haven, the more I realize I was right all along. Haven doesn’t let people in. Not fully. Not when he’s spent his whole life being left behind. So when my dream opportunity finally manifests, I have to leave before I break all my rules and my own heart in the process. I don’t dare fall for his whiskey charm.


REVIEWWHISKEY CHARM (A FOSTER HOUSE NOVEL #3) BY WALKER ROSE

Whiskey Charm (Foster House #3)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The humor outweighs the heartache. Whiskey Charm throws caution to the wind with tempestuously, sweet abandon. Rose blends sugar and spice into a flavorful, heartbreaker that tickles the senses and sticks to the soul. Rugged and wild makes for a captivating, irresistible, romance.

PINCH HITTER by @authorstephanierose releasing April 30th!

#Excerpt

I blinked my eyes open to a blank screen. Turning my head, the first thing I could make out was the white sleeve of Lee’s shirt. When I swiveled the other way, my cheek grazed the same cotton material stretching over his chest. I’d dozed off and somehow landed on Lee, snoozing next to me, his arm gripping my waist.


How did we end up like this? I shifted to sit up, but Lee tightened his arm around me, drawing me closer as he leaned his chin against my temple.


“Sleep, baby,” he said in a raspy whisper.


Oh God, he thought I was Katie—or possibly someone he’d slept with after her. Pondering either option turned my stomach.


The right thing to do was shake him awake, but I stilled instead. Of all the times I’d thought of what it would be like to wake up with Lee, this would be the closest I’d get to the real thing, even if he was dreaming of someone else.


Indulging most likely made me a masochist, but I couldn’t resist, even for only a minute. I pressed my hand into the cushion to push off the couch and away from Lee.


“Stella,” he mumbled, sinking his head deeper into the back of the couch cushion and tightening his hold. “Don’t go, baby,” he whispered, nuzzling my hair.


Stella?

๐Ÿ”ฅSports Romance






Lee Orrico is stuck. The family he depended on to care for his daughter since he lost his wife is moving on and moving out. Having his best friend Stella become his live-in nanny while he works as the team chiropractor for the Brooklyn Bats seems like the right idea. Until the combination of close quarters and cozy nights ignites an attraction that Lee never saw coming.

After years on the road in a job she never liked and a messy breakup, Stella Parker is ready to come back to Brooklyn to make it a real home for herself, not just a pit stop. Moving in with Lee to help care for his adorable daughter is the perfect temporary solution…except it means moving in with the man she’s always been secretly in love with. 

Her once-forbidden love for her best friend was always just a one-sided fantasy, but the lingering touches, long looks, and almost kisses make her start to wonder if this love isn’t so unrequited anymore.

The passion between Lee and Stella is undeniable. But Lee isn’t sure he can love again – he barely survived the loss of it the first time. 

Still, the heart he didn’t think would beat for anyone else… wants Stella.

And Stella has always wanted Lee. The question is, does Lee really love her back? 

Or is she just a pinch hitter for the real love of his life?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rose has never been on my radar, but Pinch Hitter slipped right past my blind spot. Lee and Stella put their best foot forward with heartbreaking accuracy. Haunting perfection is put on full display.

✨ COVER REVEAL: BEFORE THE CONTROL CRACKS ✨
"Control isn't something that can be stolen. It’s something I choose."

Coming soon to your e-reader! This is a dark, emotionally intense ride where love is forged in the heat of the battle for one's own soul. Check out the stunning cover of Before the Control Cracks, the next installment of the Magicbound Protectors romantasy series by Lia Davis!






When a dire wolf shifter’s restraint is tested and a Valkyrie refuses to retreat, one choice will determine what survives when control begins to crack.

My wolf is a dire wolf. He is larger, more aggressive, and harder to rein in than the others. I learned early how to keep him steady and how to hold the line when instinct pushed too hard. Discipline isn’t a choice. It’s survival.

Then Balder Eldridge decides to see what happens when control is compromised. He sends a squad of eitrborn to Briar Glen, but they aren’t here to kill me. They come to destabilize me.

Whatever spell they use on me sharpens every instinct until my wolf rides closer to the surface than ever before. Reactions hit faster. The beast lingers longer after every shift. Holding myself together starts to feel like a fight I can’t afford to lose.

The logical response is distance.
Containment.
Isolation.

Nicky Valen refuses all those options.

She doesn’t flinch when my control slips. She doesn’t try to command my wolf or calm the edge out of me. She meets me head-on, unyielding, fearless, and steady in a way that makes it impossible to retreat.

Balder believes shifters are ruled by instinct. That bonds exist only to restrain us. He wants to fracture what keeps us balanced and prove that, under enough pressure, control always fails.

He’s betting everything on my wolf breaking loose. But control was never something that could be stolen from me. It’s something I choose.

And when the pressure finally becomes too much—when instinct surges and the line starts to crack—I won’t lose myself.

I’ll decide what rises. And I’ll decide who stands with me when I do.

The one thing Balder hasn’t considered is my wolf hates him more than I do.
