Blurb:

Grant

I built my global security empire from nothing. Control and discipline are the only rules I live by. Some might call me ‘intense’. I prefer ‘meticulously prepared for every disaster imaginable.’

Growing up in a group home with my two brothers taught me the only lesson that mattered: never let anyone close enough to hurt you. As a CEO, I don’t improvise. I plan. I command.

When I’m hired to provide security for an engagement party, I expect an easy job.

Instead, I meet a woman who treats my rules like optional suggestions. I’m used to being obeyed. Ruby clearly doesn’t plan on doing that. Not even a little.

She tempts me like no one else ever has. Whenever we’re together, my thoughts drift in dangerous directions. Wanting her becomes an obsession. I want to give her everything. But surrendering control means breaking my own rules. And I’ve never done that before.

Ruby

I love my restaurant, my life, and finding the bright side of just about everything. Hosting my best friend’s engagement party? Easy. Fun. Right up my alley.

What I’m not prepared for is Grant Clifford—and his many, many rules.

He’s a fine specimen of a man. Unfortunately, he also comes with a massive stick lodged firmly up his gorgeous behind. Under that perfectly tailored suit is a man who desperately needs to loosen up. Preferably with me.

The closer I get, the more clearly I see the scars beneath his rigid exterior. And I want to heal them all. But how do I reach a man who refuses to let anyone in?

#NewRelease


https://geni.us/SecondSong

Available on Kindle Unlimited




Authors have two favorite words. The End.

He spent the winter reading every one of her love stories. She's been listening to his heartbreak in her favorite three-chord country song for years — long before he showed up behind the bar at the local watering hole.

Seraphina Sinclair has written sixty-one romance novels. All those happily-ever-afters for her characters—and never one for herself.

In real life she's been doing just fine on her own, thank you very much, raising her son in their cliffside home above the Pacific and leaving her heart safely out of the equation. Until her son asks the brooding, beautiful bartender for guitar lessons, and suddenly Hunter Sloan is in her house every Thursday at four-thirty, and Seraphina's muses are working overtime. The man is an absolute problem.

Hunter Sloan came to Willet Cove to disappear. After a bitter divorce, he gave up Nashville and took a job behind the bar at the local pub, telling himself a quieter life was what he needed. He was supposed to heal, write some songs, and figure out what came next. He wasn't supposed to fall for a woman who writes romances for a living and hasn't let anyone close in years. He definitely wasn't supposed to spend an entire winter reading all sixty of her novels alone in a cottage by the sea.

For a year they've been circling each other, neither of them brave enough to close the distance.

Luckily, Seraphina's son and his band of determined teenage matchmakers have other ideas.

The fourth book in the beloved Parent App series, Second Song is a slow-burn, small-town romance about two people who found each other's art before they found each other — and what happens when you fall for the man who wrote your favorite song.

Turns out Seraphina's two favorite words might not be The End after all. They might just be The Beginning.


REVIEWSECOND SONG (THE PARENT APP #4) BY TESS THOMPSON 

Second Song (The Parent App #4)Second Song by Tess Thompson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Every heartbreak has a silver lining. Seraphina and Hunter are a reminder of that. Thompson shakes up the soul with more than a bit of humor and a well of emotion that never runs dry. Second Song is all the feels kind of love song that hits all the right notes.

Essie by Pepper North is here!!





๐Ÿ”— https://geni.us/EssiePN




Essie Ferguson didn’t plan to inherit a mansion with ghosts, a mysterious cat, and the most aggravating man in the county as a neighbor. She certainly didn't expect him to end up as her houseguest.

But Zander Templeton isn't just a handsome stranger. They have a history. Even though his mere presence makes her heart flipflop, Essie definitely doesn’t intend to live by his rules. To her amazement, she discovers that being looked after feels dangerously good. Could Zander be the Daddy Dom she’s always dreamed of finding?

Ferguson's Folly has a way of arranging things with a little help from an eagle-eyed housekeeper, a pair of reunited ghostly lovers, and one very opinionated orange tom cat.

A steamy, feel-good romance about repurposing an estate, fairy lights, and an unexpected hidden room.

HAPPY BOOK WEEK

THE RELIC KEEPER IS BACK!

Retrieving the Storm Caller's Horn by Brenda Trim is now live!



๐Ÿ”— https://geni.us/StormCallersHorn



My name is Nylah Gilbert, and I thought I was done with ancient artifacts trying to kill me for at least a month. Apparently, I was wrong.

When a Category 5 hurricane suddenly reverses directions and heads straight for the North Carolina coast, I know it’s not just Mother Nature having a bad day. The storm’s moving in perfect patterns, lightning strikes in identical zigzag sequences, and witnesses swear they saw someone playing a massive horn in the hurricane’s eye. Because that’s totally normal weather behavior.

Now I’m tracking down the Storm Caller’s Horn—an ancient Inuit relic that can control weather patterns across entire continents—while trying to hide my Relic Keeper abilities from every supernatural predator on the East Coast. But flying under the magical radar is impossible when I need to recover the horn from the museum curator who stole it while being possessed by the vengeful spirit of a long-dead Inuit shaman. You try negotiating with someone who’s been dead for over a century and is understandably pissed that his people’s sacred artifact was pilfered by some Victorian grave robber.

Oh, and did I mention the icebergs full of frozen corpses that are currently floating toward the Outer Banks? Yeah, I didn’t know that could happen either.

My best friends Kaiya and Aeira are with me, as usual, which means we’ll either save the Eastern seaboard from a magical ice age or die spectacularly trying. My husband Arjun thinks I’m having a midlife crisis, my teenage daughters are stress-baking their way through my ethereal emergencies, and some organization called Northwind Acquisitions really wants to add the Storm Caller’s Horn to their private collection.

The good news? I’ve got seven days to return the horn to the Arctic before ancient weather spirits break free and turn the Atlantic coast into a popsicle.

The bad news? Everything else, obviously.

Time to save the world again. I really need a vacation.

Blurb: 


He knows her soul can never be his... but he wants it anyway.



Lucifer has come a long way since being trapped in Hell. Trading darkness for a life in the light, he's built a family with the Guardians and their mates—a future he never thought possible. But when a familiar nemesis threatens his peace, he's determined to end the Daemon King once and for all.



Until his plan is interrupted by an unexpected complication.



Summoned by Archangel Cassiel, he's forced to bond with Scarlet, a celestrial with secrets of her own. Yet something about her pulls at him in ways he can’t ignore—a connection that feels unlike anything he’s ever experienced. And despite her frosty demeanour and sharp tongue, he wasn't sure if he wanted to let her go.



Tricking her way into working for London's only Archangel, Scarlet will do anything to seek revenge, and finally lay her brother to rest. Even if that means spying on Lucifer, a frustratingly hedonistic and unpredictable man.



As she’s drawn deeper into Lucifer’s battle against the Daemon King, Scarlet finds herself torn between vengeance and a growing attraction that's nothing but a distraction, one that could cost her everything.



Because leaving her past behind was dangerous enough, and now she finds herself risking not just her mission, but her very soul.

Blurb: 


A bookseller never meant to wield magic. An archer who refuses to back down.


In a world divided between the floating city of Newfris and the untamed Earth below, Arra—a skilled archer, but no mage—fights for survival in the Muir Woods. While her sister Elanil wields the magic that Arra lacks, Arra battles the marauding Remnant, the last vestiges of a broken humanity. But when fate brings a group of rebels crashing from the sky, Arra’s life collides with a deeper mystery.


Among the fallen is Trey, a bookseller with a hidden gift for magic, and Rylan, Phoenix's son, now fifteen and a mage himself. Together, they uncover a deadly plot by the Cothellon—dark elves with an apocalyptic device that could destroy the world. As Arra grapples with her own insecurities, she must join forces with these unlikely allies, all while her heart is pulled toward Trey in ways she cannot explain.


With time running out, Arra must prove that magic is not the only strength that matters. In a race against the Cothellon, the survival of Earth lies not in power, but in courage.


Can Arra rise to the challenge, or will the world shatter like the city in the sky?
