AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED


I don’t do relationships.


Not commitment.


Not forever.


And definitely not the kind of life that ends with marriage and kids.


I learned a long time ago that loving people only gives the world more ways to destroy you.


So I keep things simple.


I run one of the hottest clubs in Manhattan.


I work too much.


And I never let anyone close enough to matter.


Then I meet Faith Lancaster stranded on the side of the road with a slashed tire and fear in her eyes she’s trying hard to hide.


I should’ve driven away after helping her.


Instead, I can’t stop thinking about her.


Especially after I find her candy shop vandalized and her apartment torn apart by the violent brother she thought she escaped years ago.


Faith insists she can handle herself.


Too bad I won’t trust her safety to anyone but me.


So I bring her to my home. Temporarily. Just until the danger passes.


At least, that’s the excuse I give myself.


Because living with Faith changes everything.


The woman is sunshine wrapped in stubbornness and sweetness, and somehow she slips past every wall I’ve spent years building around myself. She fills my apartment with laughter, chaos, and late-night conversations that leave me wanting things I swore I’d never need.


A future.


A family.


Her.


But Faith wants forever, and I’ve spent my entire life convincing myself I’m incapable of giving anyone that kind of love.


Then her past catches up with us in the worst possible way.


And the second she’s in danger, nothing else matters.


Not my fears.


Not my rules.


Not the life I thought I wanted before her.


Because losing Faith isn’t an option anymore.


And if I have to burn down every wall around my heart to keep her safe and make her mine?


So be it.


More Than Sexy is a steamy forced-proximity romance featuring a protective alpha hero, a heroine hiding from her dangerous past, found family, emotional healing, and a commitment-phobic man who falls first and hard.

The Grump I Married (Braeburn Cliffs #1) by Leslie North releases, June 11th!


 "Lena and Weston bring the flavor that every heart craves. The Grump I Married turns a battle of hearts into a meeting of souls." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)


 



Release Date: June 11, 2026


The Hating Game meets The Proposal, with a dash of The Fine Print—featuring a grumpy billionaire and his assistant faking it in the Scottish Highlands.

Working for Weston Kincaid should come with hazard pay—and maybe a therapist on retainer. 

The man is a corporate glacier in a designer suit—arrogant, ice cold, and allergic to anything resembling a work-life balance. As his assistant, I basically run his empire, his schedule, and his caffeine supply. Holidays included.

Then his grandfather’s will drops a nuclear-level twist: Weston must get married ASAP to inherit a jaw-dropping Scottish estate straight out of a Highland fairy tale. 

Who does he choose?


Me.

Qualifications: female, breathing, knows his coffee order.


Romance isn't just dead—Weston buried it six feet under and salted the earth.

I quit. Then flee to a café to rage-call my bestie—only to discover (too late) that Weston’s psycho ex is in the booth behind me, listening like she bought tickets. 

Within hours, every woman who might’ve considered him refuses to touch him—even for a castle.

Oops. My bad. 

Cornered, Weston offers me a deal: so much money my bank app would crash, a chance to chase my dream, and (best of all) time away from the biggest bosshole on Earth. All I have to do is live in the Highlands as his wife for a couple months.

And I don’t know whether it’s exhaustion or insanity, but I say yes.

Naturally, the universe has jokes, because somewhere between the airport and the castle, my brain decided to develop a crush on Satan in a suit.

REVIEW: THE GRUMP I MARRIED (BRAEBURN CLIFFS #1) BY LESLIE NORTH 

The Grump I Married: A Grumpy Sunshine Billionaire Boss Romance (Braeburn Cliffs)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Grump I Married turns a battle of hearts into a meeting of souls. From humor to heartache, North brings the drama without ever losing sight of emotion. Lena and Weston bring the flavor that every heart craves.

Blurb:

He hides his grief behind charm and easy smiles. She’s spent her whole life surviving on

her own. Falling in love means risking the one thing neither of them can afford to lose.

The first time I laid eyes on Adele Jacks, she was staring down a wild animal, bold and

unforgettable. She stole my breath before I even knew her name. And I'm the guy who

doesn't lose his breath over anyone.

I never planned to fall in love. Not ever. I’m the guy who laughs everything off, the

charming cynic who hides his scars behind jokes. But Adele? She’s a force of nature who

upends my life.

She's tough, she's smart, and she's hiding something. She's the kind of wilderness guide

who can out-hike me any day and stare down a grizzly without blinking. Before I know it,

she’s working at my family’s wilderness resort—walls up, defenses sky-high. She’s

slipping through the cracks in my heart every time I catch the vulnerability she tries to

hide.

The longer I know her, the harder it becomes to keep things light and uncomplicated the

way I always have. Because underneath the flirting and easy smiles, I’ve spent years

avoiding anything that feels too real.

But with Adele, I want to protect her, claim her, and make the world safe for her.

It's About Time (Blossom Peak) by  @harlowjamesauthor

#AudioAlert



Narrated by James Cassidy & Mollie Stark

Why you will love this book:

 

🔥enemies to lovers

🔥fake engagement

🔥he falls first

🔥brother's best friend/best friend's little sister

🔥pierced hero

🔥blue collar FMC

🔥small town 






Pretending to be fake engaged to my enemy might not be my brightest idea.

 

But it is definitely necessary.

 

On the brink of the biggest car show of my career, I start to panic because it's the first time I have to see my ex since our break-up.

 

Spoiler alert: it wasn't clean or amicable.

 

Then when Elliot Thorne's ex-fiancé shows back up in town, I devise a plan for both of us to get what we want: a buffer from our exes with a dash of revenge.

 

The problem is Elliot takes his role to protect me too seriously.

 

He brings me food while I'm working to make sure I eat. He even silences the self-doubt I feel on a day-to-day basis.

 

And before I know it, he has me on my knees in my garage, and on my back on the hood of my car.

 

The hate I've harbored toward him melts away as fast as my panties, and I soon realize we have more in common than I thought.

 

Then he tells me a secret that makes me reevaluate our entire relationship.

 

Now I'm left to consider if something fake could be real…

 

And that maybe it's about time I admit that Elliot isn't my enemy after all.

Fletcher Adams is not just the man that stole my heart at fifteen and never gave it back.

He’s also my brother’s best friend, and now one of the most famous players in the NFL.

But now he’s back in Blossom Peak for our mutual friend’s wedding, and guess who are the maid of honor and best man?

That would be us.

I’ve spent the past twelve years ignoring what happened between us that fateful night, and avoiding him as much as possible when he did pop into town to visit.

But now he’s everywhere.

In my salon getting a massage to support my business.

Participating in yoga to support my family’s winery.

And even hacking into my phone to monitor my glucose—which makes me furious and also a little bit weak in the knees.

Then he finds out that my ex-fiancé never satisfied me in the bedroom, so he instantly volunteers for the job.

Turns out time couldn’t snuff the flames that still burned between us.

But Fletcher has demons from his past he hasn’t faced, the kind that you can try to bury but always manage to get washed up in a storm.

And this storm just might destroy us both.

There’s one thing we can’t deny however, even though we try—feelings still matter, even after all this time.

#ComingSoon



Boone and Vivi story is almost here! It’s my take on city Slickers meets the holiday where one rental mixup leads to a one bed situation for a grumpy cowboy, and a sunny city slicker.


The One Who Saw Her (Callahan Legacy #1) by Marina Adair releases, June 4th!


"....bittersweet, heartache with a wicked sense of humor. Adair sets out to put a claim on the heart and succeeds." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

Release Date: June 4, 2026


Vivi Witmore has built a career rewriting other people’s love lives—polishing their dating profiles, perfecting their first impressions, fixing all the cracks so romance looks seamless. But when her long-term boyfriend announces he’s moving to Singapore and expects her to follow, Vivi realizes she’s spent years sacrificing her own happiness just to make everyone else’s dreams shine. Torn between the safe path of pleasing him and the terrifying idea of finally choosing herself, she retreats to her mother’s latest scheme—a rented ranch in the middle of nowhere—that turns out to be more dust and duct tape than rustic retreat. Even worse, the rundown ranch comes with a grumpy ex-rodeo champion who has no time for city girls and their designer boots—or their drama. Forced to cohabitate, Vivi battles roosters, horse poop, and Boone’s stubborn pride—while secretly building dating profiles for the lonely locals. Still she’s determined to stay anyway, to figure out what living her own life might look like.

Boone Callahan has three rodeo championships under his belt and one ranch hanging by a thread. Five months ago, his parents died in a car crash, and the grief was so raw he drove away his fiancée and locked his heart for good. Now, all he wants is to save Bridlewood, his grandfather’s land, before the bank comes knocking. The last thing he needs is a city runaway cluttering up his kitchen in pearls and distracting him with wide eyes and stubborn charm. Boone wants Vivi gone, but he desperately needs her rental fee to keep the lights on.

Boone knows how this story ends—people leave, promises break, and love never lasts. And Vivi? She’s chaos wrapped in charm, a fixer who’s finally run out of people to fix. But between stubborn cattle, starlit skies, and the kind of laughter neither expected to find again, they discover that maybe the broken pieces of their lives aren’t meant to be mended alone. The longer Vivi lingers, the harder it is to imagine Pine Ridge—or either of their hearts—without her.


REVIEW: THE ONE WHO SAW HER (CALLAHAN LEGACY #1) BY MARINA ADAIR

The One Who Saw Her: Boone (Callahan Legacy Book 1)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Boone and Vivi flirt with emotions with tempting precision. A bittersweet, heartache with a wicked sense of humor. The One Who Saw Her stirs up trouble in the most endearing way. Adair sets out to put a claim on the heart and succeeds.

BLURB

At the lowest point in my life, I walk into the busiest club, hoping to get a job. Somehow, I end up on stage, being told to strip, and before I can even decide if I’m desperate enough, a terrifying man orders me to leave.

 

I do my best to ignore my fear as I follow him to his office, not knowing it’s about to cost me everything.

 

Turns out I’m more desperate than I thought, and I swallow my pride and beg.

But Adriano Rizzo doesn’t offer me employment.

Nope, he makes me a deal that’s hard to refuse.

I tell myself I can handle whatever he demands of me.

Boy, am I wrong.

 

Hidden in the fine print, I didn’t bother to read, is a clause I never saw coming.

Marry him. Or I walk away with nothing and end up back on the streets.

 

While I’m still trying to decide, he changes the rules, and before I know it, I’m saying my vows to a man I barely know. To make matters worse, just as we leave the church, he pulls out a gun and empties it into some poor soul. Right in front of me!

That’s when I learn the truth…

 

Adriano Rizzo isn’t just some heartless, filthy-rich club owner.

He’s a boss in the Cosa Nostra, and I’ve just married into a world that’s violent, ruthless, and deadly.

BLURB

In this spellbinding debut fantasy, passion and peril entwine in a tale of curses, monsters, and forbidden desire. Perfect for fans of dark romance, this sweeping first installment introduces a heroine whose heart may be as dangerous as her power.

Born with the blood of a hell god in her veins, Helaina Ironblood has lived her life in secrecy, hidden from a realm already teetering on the edge of ruin. When tragedy shatters her family and the heir to the throne is lost, Helaina is cast into exile--her cursed power now a beacon to enemies who would see the world burn. Beyond the Ash Cliff Mountains, monsters stalk the land, and darker forces hunger for the weapon Helaina carries within her.

Seized by Theodon Wrenn, the feared captain of a mysterious legion, Helaina is thrust into a war that stretches far beyond her imagining. Ruthless, commanding, and bound by secrets of his own, Theodon believes she is the key to victory. Yet the more he tries to bend her to his will, the more he is drawn to her defiance--and to the dangerous fire in her blood. Unlocking her power requires the Bone Dagger, an ancient relic that binds gods, beasts, and mortals alike, but demands a price--Helaina's mortal life.

Torn between the man who would sacrifice her and the destiny she never wanted, Helaina must decide whether her curse will bring salvation ... or ruin.
