BLURB

 

It’s not my fault I lied to him.

I had to.

Alas, Jameson Tate might be the biggest walking hypocrite on the planet because his deeply harbored secrets make mine look like child’s play.

Still, I started to trust him. 

To believe in him.

But as more things begin to unravel, I regret ever meeting him...

Book 2 in the Verdict Trilogy.

THE VIXEN AND THE VET (MODERN FAIRYTALE #1) BY KATY REGNERY 

**ONLY AVAILABLE FROM JULY 2-6!**


" A classic is made in the heart...Captivating, irresistible, unforgettable, must have addition to any bookshelf." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

---> https://amzn.to/4gzVrKA


"The story of Asher Lee is pretty cut and dry. After 9/11 he was stirred to action wanting to defend his country and joined the army and became a medic after having gone to college to become a doctor. During a routine mission he was in the blast zone of a roadside bomb that killed one of his friends and left him severely disfigured. Upon coming home he was welcomed with pitying looks or looks of disgust and the scar of that has caused him to hide away in his home for almost a decade with no human contact aside from an old friend of his parents. When Savannah Carmichael shows up on his doorstep wanting to do a story for the 4th of July about his homecoming she opens up something in him thought to be long dead. As the weeks go by and the two spend more and more time together what was at first a tenuous friendship blooms into something stronger and deeper than either planned for."

Blurb from book one:

Chanel


Xavier Grant was everything a woman could want. He was a successful restaurateur and club owner and has the looks of a God with the sex appeal to back it all up. I had a crush on him since my early teenage years. Now, here I am thirty years old, after having just moved back to my hometown of Houston and finding myself still lusting over this man. So how did I handle this growing attraction? Like any self-respecting, professional woman who’d had her heart broken numerous times by the men in her life, I ran. I tried to ignore the sparks that flew whenever we were in the same room as one another. I have my reasons. Xavier was one of the most eligible bachelors in the city with women clamoring for his attention. Aside from that, he was my brother’s best friend, practically family—certainly treated more like family than I was. No, I didn’t need those types of problems. My best bet was to steer clear of Xavier Grant.


Xavier


Chanel had grown into a beautiful woman. Any man with eyes could see that. But, she was my best friend’s little sister. I had no intentions of taking it past looking until she walked into one of my restaurants one night looking a little distraught. There was something pulling me to her. Something was telling me she needed me. Usually, I’m not into being needed by a woman. I do my thing and don’t bother getting too serious, but I couldn’t ignore this pull I had to her. And when I see the danger she puts herself into helping one of her clients, my protective instincts come out. I want her. And no one, not my friendship with her brother or her father is going to stop that. Except, maybe her.


**Please note: Safe Space deals with discussions, scenes and scenarios dealing with domestic violence, and the ultimate violence that it can lead to. The hero of this story is NOT the perpetrator of these acts, but they do exist within the story.

Where I Should've Been (Red Bridge #3) by Max Monroe, releases July 7th!


"The road less traveled becomes the heartache you won't soon forget. Tad and Breezy turn haunting into inspiring. From beautiful mess to endearing legacy, Monroe takes the soul on a magic carpet ride." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Small town. Big secrets. And one ridiculously hot mistake she doesn’t regret.


Everyone in the smalltown of Red Bridge, Vermont, knows Tad Hanson, the hot sheep farmer who can’t control his flock. He doesn’t believe in forever, but he’ll be the best time you’ve ever had—right now. What they don’t know is why.


He’s too charming, too good with that addicting smile of his, too committed to keeping his dark past buried, and too stubborn to imagine his life could be any other way.


Until a snowstorm—and one beautiful woman—send his carefully controlled world spinning.


Successful art director Beatrice “Breezy” Bishop thought she had life figured out—until her father gave her the middle finger from the grave and left the family galleries she built to her entitled younger brother. With nothing left in New York but resentment and regret, she temporarily heads to Red Bridge, looking for space to breathe.


Instead, she finds a sexy, flirty, secret fling with Tad, and a rivalry with the editor of Red Bridge’s newspaper. It’s chaotic, but it’s the happiest she’s ever been.


But secrets never stay secrets for long, and when hearts get involved—and the universe clearly has other plans—walking away isn’t as easy as they thought.

REVIEW: WHERE I SHOULD'VE BEEN (RED BRIDGE) BY MAX MONROE

Where I Should've Been (Red Bridge, #3)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sweet and spicy takes a charming stroll across the senses. Red Bridge is the perfect destination for the heart. From beautiful mess to endearing legacy, Monroe takes the soul on a magic carpet ride. Tad and Breezy turn haunting into inspiring. The road less traveled becomes the heartache you won't soon forget.



#SeriesAlert


#RedBridge


Tucked away in the heart of Vermont, Red Bridge is a small town bursting with charm, humor, and secrets—but love here is anything but simple. Beneath its quirky exterior lie stories of heartbreak, healing, and second chances. From runaway brides to shattered dreams, devastating losses to unexpected new beginnings, this emotionally charged series captures the messy, beautiful truths of life and love. In Red Bridge, every ending is the start of something new, and the town always has a way of calling you back home...


https://geni.us/RedBridgeSeries





What I Should've Said (Book #1) 

(Bennett & Norah)

You don’t find love. Love finds you…in New York Times bestselling author Max Monroe’s tender and emotionally charged story.


When grumpy, muscled-up artist Bennett Bishop bothers to speak, it’s usually to say something you’re not ready to hear.

When he first speaks to Norah Ellis, a rambling runaway bride who hitchhikes a ride from him, it’s to tell her to get out of his truck and walk because she’s a pain in the…

By appearance, Norah Ellis is a fancy fashionista who’s spent the last several years living the good life in the city—expensive apartments, highbrow events, and a fiancé with wealth and good looks. The only problem is that she didn’t choose any of it for herself.

On the day of her July wedding, Norah’s world turns upside down, thanks to a letter from a stranger. She runs for the small town in Vermont she used to call home, but what’s waiting for her, between her estranged sister, the townspeople, and bad-boy Bennett Bishop himself, is way more than she bargained for.

Enemies turn to lovers, strangers become friends, dark secrets bust open like cans of worms, and most of all…summer will never be the same.

When I Should've Stayed (Book #2) 


(Clay & Josie)


".....a bright light drowning in heartache.  Clay and Josie wrap the soul in little moments.  Endearing and heartbreaking collide with explosive results." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)


She thought they were divorced. He never filed the papers.
Now he’s determined to prove their love story isn’t over.


Josie: Before The Moment
There are ghosts at every corner. In the stolen kisses while I waitressed at the diner, in the town festivals in the square, in the many jokes about Betty Bagley and her pie at the Fall Farmer’s Market, and in countless nights spent watching Clay make drinks with that handsome smile of his plastered on his face while I sat on a stool at the bar.

It should all feel familiar and comforting, and yet, it makes it hard for the person I am now to breathe at all.

I wish I’d been stronger. I wish I’d been wiser. I wish I didn’t have to do this.
I wish.

Tonight will be a defining moment for the rest of my life.

I have to end it now…
…before it ends me.

Clay: After The Moment
When Josie and I said, ‘I do’, I thought it’d be us against the world forever. But I wasn’t expecting the world to be so against us.

I know I should’ve stayed that night, and I should have gone back a heck of a lot sooner.

Because I don’t know how to be here. I don’t know how to be anywhere.

Truth is, I don’t know how to be without Josie at all.

She might think we’re done, but I’m going to spend the rest of my life making sure we’re not.

Captain's Christmas Bride by Clara Pines releases July 14th!

https://geni.us/CaptainsChristmasBride


Read With Kindle Unlimited




Can a fake engagement give this wealthy veteran a second chance with his first love?

Captain Erik Anderson’s fiancée finally arrives in small-town Trinity Falls only to dump him just before their wedding. But he’s desperate for the show to go on. The last thing he wants at Christmastime is to disappoint any of the struggling veterans he’s committed his life to help—men who have become like a family to him.

Just when he thinks he’s all out of options, Erik finds himself face to face with the girl he loved and lost long ago. Before he can stop himself, he asks Jenny to help him cheer up his men by going forward with the wedding, only with Jenny stepping in as his fake bride. He knows he’s in too deep the moment she agrees.

And then she introduces him to her newly adopted son.

Erik bonds instantly with the funny, inquisitive nine-year-old. But can Gael really keep such a big secret? Or will he blow the lid off the whole thing?

And what happens when their pretend engagement starts to feel all too real? Jenny is down-to-earth, fun-loving, and she hits it off right away with his whole crew. And the more time Erik spends with Gael, the more he finds himself wishing the boy really was going to be his son. It’s everything he ever wanted.

If he hadn’t messed things up so badly the first time he loved Jenny, maybe they would actually have a second chance at true happiness now.

But for Captain Erik Anderson, that ship has sailed.

Will this fantasy family really break up after the holidays? Or will the pretend newlyweds fake it until they actually make it?

Trinity Falls Sweet Romance is all about finding family – one clean & wholesome romance at a time. The Trinity Falls Sweet Romance: Home for Christmas inspirational series celebrates a group of men coming home to a small Pennsylvania town at Christmastime, and finding love and meaning in the season.

#Excerpt


“Busy night,” I say. “Where’s your help?”


I glance around, hoping to catch sight of Dr. Chastain’s lovely assistant.


“Don’t bother,” he says, “Ashley’s not here tonight.”


“Damn. She’s the only thing that makes our visits tolerable,” I say with a laugh and instantly regret it.


“That’s too bad, because she’s leaving us this fall,” he says.


That catches my attention. “Yeah?”


Ashley has been a part of Dr. Chastain’s team as long as I can remember, and she’s good at her job, helping to fix up busted cowboys.


“Her son is starting pre-school in the fall, and she wants to be home more.” He adjusts the brace he placed on the bridge of my nose, making sure everything’s set. “Can’t fault her for that.”


“No,” I agree. “Family comes first. But damn, we’ll miss her and her magic hands.”


He nods. “I’ve got a Physical Therapy applicant I’m considering—a doctoral student in Colorado, graduating next year. She worked as a certified medical assistant at a friend’s practice in Laramie while earning her undergrad. He was really impressed with her. She’ll actually be interning at a rodeo school near you this summer.”


“Yeah?” I say again, curiosity piqued. “Where at?”


“Wildhaven,” he confirms. “I’m looking forward to seeing how she performs there before I make a final decision.”


“Raintree-Storm Rodeo Academy?” I ask.


His brows lift slightly. “That’s the one.”


I grin, ignoring the pull in my face. “I’ll be working there this summer too.”


“Well, I’ll be,” he says. “Small world.”


“Yeah,” I say, leaning back carefully. “Wildhaven Storm Ranch—that’s my family’s place. My cousin Charli’s engaged to Bryce Raintree. Academy’s set up on our land.”


Bryce is currently on a two-year rodeo retirement tour before hanging up his hat for good, settling down, making Charli a housewife, planting babies in her, and running the academy full-time.


He lets out a low whistle. “That is a small world.”


“Who’s the student?” I ask. “I’ll keep an eye out for you.”


He glances at me as he finishes taping. “A Miss Asbury.”


I frown slightly. “Asbury…?”


He nods.


“Yep,” he says, “Jovie Ashbury.”


I bark out a laugh, then wince again because that was a mistake. “You’re kidding me.”


“What?” he asks, stepping back to assess his work.


“Little Jojo Asbury?” I shake my head, disbelief settling in.


“You know her?”


“Yeah,” I say, a grin tugging at my mouth despite the pain. “She was my little brother Cabe’s first love. Hell, I think he’s still hat over boots for her.”


He raises a brow. “Is that right?”


“Oh yeah,” I chuckle. “Kid followed her around like a love-sick puppy until she left for school. He’ll be fucking stoked to have her on the ranch for the summer.”


It’s been years since I’ve seen her. She and Cabe must have been twelve or thirteen when I graduated high school and started chasing my rodeo dreams. But I remember her—bright smile, blonde curls, stubborn streak, always stuck to Cabe’s side.


Funny how things circle back.






Blurb: 

I ride bulls for a living—chasing buckles, eight seconds at a time. It’s the only thing I’ve ever been good at. Tough. Disciplined. Built for the dirt and the danger. When I’m not on the road, I’m back home in Wildhaven, Wyoming, putting in work at the Raintree-Storm Rodeo Academy — training the next generation on my family’s land.

It’s a simple life. The way I like it.

Then Jovie Asbury walks into the arena and wrecks everything.

She’s not the kid I remember—the sweet, quiet girl who used to trail after my little brother, Cabe, with hearts in her eyes. No, she’s grown into something else entirely. Smart. Driven. Off-limits in every way that matters. She’s interning at the academy, working toward a career in sports medicine, determined to earn her place on the rodeo circuit.

And I can’t stop watching her or thinking about her. Can’t stop wanting her.

And that’s a big problem.

Because Cabe never stopped loving her.

And some lines, no matter how bad you want to cross them… you don’t.

Except the longer she’s here, the harder it gets to stay on my side of that line. 

And I’m starting to realize that eight seconds on the back of a bull is nothing compared to trying to hold on to my self-control around Jovie Asbury.


REVIEW: BROKEN TRUST (WILDHAVEN COWBOYS #1) BY AMBER KELLY

Broken Trust (Wildhaven Cowboys #1)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Broken Trust is a shining star that lights up the soul. Axle and Jovie set off sparks. Kelly bursts the heart wide open. With a hint of spice and dash of sugar, those Wildhaven Cowboys will be hard to resist.

One kiss changed everything. Now he's playing for keeps. ANOTHER MISTAKE by Alexa Padgett is LIVE!!

 

#1clickhere https://books2read.com/u/bx2lZk




Okay—fine. Two mistakes. The first? Kissing Evan. The second? Getting caught on camera…and accidentally going viral.


Now the entire internet thinks I'm dating the Wildcatters rookie goalie, Evan Pelletier. And thanks to a PR disaster (long story involving seafood and regret), we're stuck living under the same roof until the story dies down.


Temporary. Controlled. Completely fake.


Except...Evan doesn't do anything halfway. Not hockey. Not feelings. And definitely not me. He's sweet in a way that feels dangerous. Patient in a way that makes me forget all the reasons I should keep my distance. And when he looks at me like I'm something worth choosing? Yeah. That's a problem. Because I don't do reckless. I don't do temporary.


And I definitely don't fall for men who can leave as fast as they came. Too bad the rookie goalie already fell first. And he's not letting me walk away without a fight...

Or so I thought.

Turns out, that woman I met two years ago isn’t just some random woman from a club. 

She’s my team's new doctor. 

As if that’s not already a penalty against me, she wants nothing to do with me now that she knows who I am. 

But after our first go didn’t, well, go, I’m determined to prove myself and win a second chance with the woman I haven’t been able to stop thinking about. 

Especially when she hits me with the biggest surprise of my life.

I know this new game is risky. That it could cost me everything I’ve worked impossibly hard to build for myself. Yet something tells me going up against this irresistible woman is worth the risk.

And I’m ready to play my heart out.

She saw him clearly. A player. Not her kind of man. He’d never told her she was the only woman he actually wanted. What neither of them knew was how little time they had left to get this right.

DAGGER
Givre has been telling me with her silence for months that I'm not the sort of man she takes seriously. A scoundrel. A dog. A player. And this morning, I stepped out of Magnolia's room at the exact moment Givre stepped out of hers, and handed her the proof. Fifteen minutes later, I rounded the final curve above the lake, and the Minerva headquarters blew apart in front of me. Givre was inside. And whatever quiet chance I'd been holding out for was buried under four centuries of stone.

GIVRE
Killian Curran, code name Dagger, is everything I’ve spent my career avoiding. English charm, easy smile, a reputation that precedes him into every room. I keep him in the colleagues-zone because I’m not the kind of woman who becomes a story he tells later. This morning proved I was right to. Then the building came down, and I woke up in an ambulance with his face above mine, and I realized the thing I’ve been most afraid of is not that he’ll break my heart. It’s that he’s the only man who ever could.

BLURB

 

I spent my life mending fractured minds. Yet he was undoing mine,slowly, thorn by deliberate thorn.

 

I knew Greece was a mistake. But how do you resist the ghosts that have whispered your name for years, patient and unrelenting?

 

I never intended to step onto a battlefield of broken hearts and broken minds, yet there I stood, entangled in a silent triangle where every truth was a weapon and every silence a wound.

 

Each choice I made drew blood. 

 

I was caught in the thorns of war, bound by invisible threads that kept those I loved forever just beyond my reach. The more I resisted, the deeper they cut. The harder I pulled, the more fate tightened its grip.

 

I began this story believing restraint was virtue, that love was mercy. I was wrong. Morality, I learned, is a luxury afforded only to those untouched by desire.

 

And Violet Freud was no Jane Eyre.

 

My conscience answered only to those I loved. And when this war ended, I would not emerge unscathed, but I would emerge victorious.

She writes thrillers for a living. Now she’s trapped inside one.


Michelle Holdcraft lives a quiet life in small-town Indiana. But under the pen name D. Valentine, she’s a bestselling thriller author known for writing dark secrets, murder, and shocking twists.


Then one trip changes everything.


When Michelle travels to Iron Falls, Massachusetts to visit her estranged father, she wakes to a gunshot, a house engulfed in flames, and her father dead on the floor.

The same tattoo her father had.


Now Michelle is trapped in a deadly web of lies, corruption, and buried secrets where no one can be trusted—and falling for the wrong man could cost her everything.


Because in Iron Falls, some secrets were never meant to survive.

Serafina

 

When I was fifteen, I made a promise. 

One day I would have my revenge. 

For years, I played my part.

The obedient daughter. The perfect fiancée. The devoted wife. 

And when the time finally came…

I pulled the trigger. 

Because vengeance had always been the plan.

A life for a life. 

What I never planned for was Adrian Salvatore surviving my bullet. 

And now he was chasing me across the world. 

The man I betrayed was more dangerous than ever.

More ruthless.

More obsessed. 

And worst of all…

He still wants me to be his.

 

Adrian

 

Our marriage was built on lies. 

But I never expected Serafina to be as ruthless as I was. 

My wife thought a bullet would stop me.

But she was wrong.

Now she was forcing me to chase her across the oceans.

Such a silly game of hers. 

But I wasn’t chasing.

I was hunting. 

For answers. For revenge. 

For the woman who had always belonged to me. 

Serafina could run all she wanted.

But the world wasn’t big enough to keep her from me. 

She started this game. Now I would be the one to finish it. 

Till death do us part, wife.

 

 

TORN BY FATE is book two in the dark and twisted FATAL ALLIANCES series.

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.
