HAPPY BOOK WEEK

The Grump I Married (Braeburn Cliffs #1) by Leslie North is #NowLive!


 "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.

A Simple Request (Cooper Town Boys #1) by Lacey Black







COMING SOON






Quinn

I have a thing for my best friend’s sister. Charli Miller has always been the woman to own my heart, despite the fact she doesn’t feel the same way. We’re oil and water, fire and ice. We butt heads at every turn, but I’d still do anything for her.

I wouldn’t deny her anything.

Which is why I don’t put a stop to the little arrangement we seem to fall into. Spending that time with her is better than anything I’ve ever experienced, but unfortunately, it makes me crave more. I’ve always wanted Charli, but now, I’m a determined man. Especially when she shocks me with big news.

She’s scared, but I’m ready to fight. Fight for us.

Charli

No one pushes my buttons like Quinn Garrison. He might possibly be the most infuriating man on the face of the planet, and since he’s my younger brother’s best friend, I can’t get away from him. He’s always there, and even when he’s being sweet and supportive, it just grates on my nerves.

Until one day, that irritation explodes.

What happens next wasn’t planned. It’s raw and fueled by years of emotions, and even though I swore it wouldn’t happen again, it does. I let him into my bed and, as time passes, I’m unable to keep him out of my heart. I want everything I didn’t even know I needed, and there’s no going back now.

Especially when I see those two pink lines…

Fake Dating My Ex's Rival (Moonstruck Cove #3) by Miranda P. Charles releases June 25th!


"...a flavorful feast of the senses. Heartache stirs up the sweetest kind of trouble. Charles delivers an addictive heartbreaker with heartwarming tendencies." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release Date: June 25, 2026



"I agreed to fake-date Colt Quinn to put my ex in his place. Falling for the man who's too big for Moonstruck Cove? That was never part of the deal."


EMORY

Moonstruck Cove will always be my home. After I was dumped on my wedding day, this town helped me put myself back together.

Now, my ex is back, branded as the town's returning local hero on a TV renovation show. On his arm is his new girlfriend—who just happens to be Colt's ex.

Colt Quinn. TV star, my best friend's future brother-in-law, and the man I've been quietly, inconveniently crushing on. He needs a fake girlfriend for the show.

I know exactly why I said yes. I just don't know how to stop it from meaning more than it should.

Because I've already been burned by a man who chose ambition over love.

And I can't risk being second to Colt's career.


COLT

The show was supposed to fix everything. One season of Built by Two, and I could silence every critic calling me a fraud.

Then my girlfriend and I call it quits, and suddenly I can't join a show that requires romantic partners as contestants.

I wasn't expecting Emory to volunteer, and I wasn't expecting to be so glad she did.

She's warm, funny, stubborn and brave, and standing next to her while our exes smirk from across the competition line feels a lot less like strategy and a lot more like something I don't have a name for yet.

Then I have to move in with her during filming to keep up our pretence, and things become even more complicated. Somewhere between sawdust and kisses for the camera, fake starts feeling real.

But my life isn't in Moonstruck Cove, and hers will never be anywhere else.

Now, I'm facing the one thing I never planned for—losing the only woman who's ever made me want something more.

Fake-Dating My Ex's Rival is Book 3 of the Moonstruck Cove series—where famous men come home... and stay. It can be read as a standalone.

Dancing with the Rock Star (Moonstruck Cove #1) by Miranda P. Charles is #NowLive!








Release Date: April 23, 2026

"Theo Cresswall is my best friend, my person, the man I'd do anything for. And the one I've spent way too long pretending I don't want." - Gia

"I don't dance. Everyone in Moonstruck Cove knows it, and Gia knows it better than anyone. But when her ex is the only alternative? Over my dead body." - Theo

GIA

I've built everything I love right here in Moonstruck Cove—my dance studio, my students, and a contract that puts this town on the map. But one competition stands between me and keeping it all.

My partner just quit. With weeks to go, I've searched everywhere for a replacement and come up empty.

My ex could fill in, but I'm still hoping for a better option.

Then Theo volunteers.

Theo Cresswall—rock star, drummer of The Glowing Devils, my best friend. The man I've spent way too long pretending I don't want. The man who hasn't danced a single step since I talked him into a competition at sixteen and it ended in disaster.

He says yes before I can argue.

Now we're rehearsing every day. His hands on my waist, my body learning his rhythm, the Argentine tango pulling us somewhere we swore we'd never go.

I need to win this competition. He needs to survive it. And somewhere between the first rehearsal and the last, the line between best friends and something more is getting harder to see.

I can't afford to fall for him. He can't afford to stay.

But Moonstruck Cove has a way of making you want things you were never supposed to have.

THEO

She needs a partner. I'm already here. Simple.

Except nothing about Gia Flores has ever been simple for me.

I've been back in Moonstruck Cove for the concert—The Glowing Devils' first return in twelve years. I wasn't planning to spend it in a dance studio, working my way through routines that require me to hold Gia closer than I've ever let myself.

But her ex's name came up. And that was that.

She thinks I volunteered out of friendship. Maybe I did.

Or maybe I just know that some things are worth looking like a fool for.

Dancing with the Rock Star is Book 1 of the Moonstruck Cove series—where famous men come home... and stay. It can be read as a standalone.

Falling for the Single Dad (Moonstruck Cove #2) by Miranda P. Charles is #NowLive!


"From broken to beautiful is a road well traveled. Through the twists of life and the turns of love, Falling for the Single Dad is a heartache worth fighting for." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

Release DateMay 21, 2026


I came to Moonstruck Cove to learn how to be a father to the son I never knew I had. Falling for the art teacher who stole his heart—and mine—could cost me everything.


BRAX

I’m a high-profile investment banker used to controlling every detail of my life—until I discover I’m the father of a four-year-old boy I never knew existed.

Suddenly, my priorities change.

I take my son, Ollie, to Moonstruck Cove to spend time with my parents and figure out how to be the kind of dad he deserves. What I don’t expect is how quickly he bonds with the one woman in town who still holds a grudge against me.

Joey Barker.

She’s beautiful, stubborn, and far too good at reminding me of the argument we had the last time I was here. The problem? The more time we spend together, the harder it is to ignore the attraction between us.

But when a powerful client sets his sights on acquiring Joey’s family’s chocolatier business—and my job depends on keeping that client happy—I find myself caught between protecting my career and protecting the woman I’m starting to fall for.

And if Joey ever discovers the truth about what I’ve been asked to do, I could lose far more than my reputation.

JOEY

Brax Quinn is the last man I should trust.

The arrogant city slicker might have returned to Moonstruck Cove as a devoted single dad, but I haven’t forgotten how he once called me a meddler when I was only trying to help his parents.

Still… it’s impossible to ignore the way he looks at me. Or the way my heart melts when I see him with Ollie.

Then there's the professional advice I got about loosening up in the bedroom. I decide that the best way forward is a no-strings fling with someone I’m wildly attracted to—someone who’ll eventually leave town.

Brax seems like the perfect candidate.

Except the more time we spend together, the more complicated everything becomes.

Because the man I thought I knew isn’t the man I’m falling for.

And when the truth behind the scandal surrounding my family’s business finally comes to light, I’ll have to decide whether Brax Quinn is the worst mistake I could make… or the love I never saw coming.

The Games We Play by Jennifer Dawson releases June 23rd!


"Charlie and Jessica turn a cat and mouse attraction into an unpredictable romance.  Dawson takes the heart on a wild ride ... to get to a happily ever after that imprints on the soul." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)





Release Date: June 23, 2026


Jessica Moore


It’s not my fault I’m the villain.


One public rejection and suddenly I’m the heartless woman who crushes men for sport. No one even cares about my side of the story. It’s always the woman who pays, isn’t it? Well, I’m sick of it. I’m left with no choice but to get the hell out of town and park myself on a roadside barstool where I can bask in the anonymity of solitary drinkers.


Imagine my surprise when I sit down next to a gorgeous, annoying smart ass who actually thinks he can best me.


Well, my tongue is sharpened and ready for use and I love putting an arrogant man in his place.


Finally. Someone I don’t have to be nice to.



Charlie Radcliffe


All I want is to brood in peace, but the ball of chaos that just sat down next to me is making that impossible. Although I admit her disgruntled prickliness is pretty hot.


I could do the gentlemanly thing and move, but I’d hate to disappoint her by not passing all her little tests. She’s clearly never met a man who didn’t crumple at her feet and watching her try to throw me off my game is making me forget all about my bad mood. She has a lot of energy to burn through, and I’m just the man to exhaust her. Sure, she might break a couple of my cardinal rules, but I’m willing to make an exception for her. She’s only looking for one night.


Hell, she doesn’t even want to exchange names and putting a smart, strong woman on her knees is one of my favorite things.


The Games We Play
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Charlie and Jessica turn a cat and mouse attraction into an unpredictable romance. Through never-ending twists and spicy wordplay, sass and intrigue collide. Dawson takes the heart on a wild ride of sensory overload and sassy dialogue to get to a happily ever after that imprints on the soul.
