๐ŸŽ‰We’re thrilled to shout it from the rooftops! 

Zone by Tia Louise is narrated in duet by Willa Jaymes and Troy Duran! 




Their rivalry turns into undeniable chemistry, and a secret relationship neither can afford.

As the youngest son in the Bradford football dynasty, I’ve spent my whole life being compared to someone else. The last thing I need is an influencer building her platform on my mistakes.

So naturally, I confront her.

Then I kiss her.

Again.

And Again.

Now we’re hiding a secret relationship that could destroy both our careers, and I’m falling for the one woman who refuses to go easy on me.

When a baby shows up on my doorstep, she stays to help, and we find ourselves wrangling poopy diapers, unexplained crying, and a little girl who makes us feel things we’re not ready to admit.

Audio Review: Zone (The New Bradfords #4) by Tia Louise

Narrated by Willa Jaymes and Troy Duran

Louise pulled out all the stops with Knox and Melody. Duran and Jaymes sizzle. The chemistry was palpable, the emotions were fierce and every character past and present was irresistible. Those Bradfords sure know how to show a heart a good time.

Huxley Hosea was at the lowest of the lows.

Exhausted—both mentally and physically—he could barely put one foot in front of the other. Tired to the bone due to a never-ending war. He was desperate to find a new every day that didn’t revolve around getting shot at by kids that could barely hold a rifle steady. War had broken his soul, and the last thing he wanted to do was go home and pretend that he was just a normal citizen.

But then he sees her, also at her lowest of lows, for the first time, and his soul latches on. Bernice, his salvation.

He’s convinced that she’s the answer to his woes, and he develops an unhealthy attachment to her that carries over to his civilian life. For five years, he watches her. Protects her. Keeps her safe when she won’t protect herself. Hux follows her every move and hides in the shadows so she’ll never see.

Then she shows up in his town, and all bets are off.

She’s in his town now. That means his rules. His way. And no more highway.

She’s stuck, and she’ll never know it until it’s too late for her to run.

The paperback of Beautiful Fiend by Lola King is now live!






The “Best of #BookTok” sensation from the author of Take My Heart: She only wants out of their broken town. He only wants her.

Two ruthless gangs have been battling for control of their derelict town. The side on which you were born is where you stay; there’s no fairy tale way out. Billie’s a tough North Shore girl―fighting’s in her blood. But rival gang member Caden nearly broke her in savage revenge a few years back, and she’s been dreaming of escape ever since.

Now, Billie’s at the height of her training as an MMA fighter, the only antidote for the rage she feels inside. But she’s pulled right back into Caden’s torment when he blackmails her into doing a job for him. One that’ll force her to betray her own crew and jeopardize what little chance she has of breaking free.

With Billie back in his iron grip, Caden becomes more obsessed with every interaction, and nothing can protect her from him. But as they come to realize they’re not so different from each other, Billie’s need to stay away from Caden starts to fade, replaced by something she never thought she could feel toward her arch nemesis . . .

Beautiful Fiend is a dark, enemies-to-lovers romance featuring a morally pitch-black MMC, forbidden love, graphic sex scenes, and violence. It is intended for mature audiences.

HAPPY BOOK WEEK


WHAT THEY'LL SAY ABOUT US (MYSTERIES UNCORKED: A PODCAST THRILLER SERIES #2) BY BARBARA FREETHY is #nowavailable.


"...a thrill ride that sets off a firestorm. From silent screams to breathtaking, mystery...Freethy takes over your mind and senses." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release Date: August 4, 2026


"Barbara Freethy’s suspense novels are explosively good!" — New York Times Bestselling Author Toni Anderson

After the success of their true crime podcast, Mysteries Uncorked, Tessa, Cassidy and Morgan are finally starting to enjoy what the podcast has given them—recognition, opportunity, and the sense that their voices actually matter. Invitations are coming in. Doors are opening. For the first time, it feels like all the risk might have been worth it.

Then, in the middle of what should have been a celebratory moment, Tessa suddenly finds herself at the center of a terrifying scene. She tells herself it’s coincidence—that she just happened to be there when something went horribly wrong. But as questions mount and details refuse to line up, the harder it becomes to ignore the possibility that this wasn’t random at all.

When stories turn deadly, the question isn’t just who’s listening…. It’s who’s watching.

A twisty, page-turning psychological thriller about what happens when the story gets too close, from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy.

When no one wants to hear the truth—how far would you go to make them listen?

Cassidy Clarke never planned to chase killers. Her true-crime podcast, Mysteries Uncorked, started as a side project—just three friends, a few glasses of wine, and unsolved cases that fascinated them. But when their audience explodes, the women decide to go on location for their next story: the disappearance of a young woman from a coastal inn in Maine.

For Cassidy, the case hits close to home. The missing woman was last seen at the Stonecross Inn—run by the grandmother she’s never met. Ellen Clarke makes one thing clear when they arrive: she doesn’t want them there. But the microphones are already live, and the listeners are hooked.

As Cassidy and Tessa dig deeper, they uncover whispers of other women who came to Stonecross and never left. The locals refuse to talk. And Ellen knows far more than she’ll say.

Then another woman vanishes. Cassidy’s podcast goes viral, and someone decides it’s time to cut her mic for good.

A chilling, addictive psychological thriller from a #1 NYT Bestselling Author about ambition, small town secrets, and the stories that refuse to stay silent. This female-led psychological thriller follows a woman who investigates an unanswered mystery while challenging a powerful small-town establishment. Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Laura Dave, Freida McFadden, and Lisa Jewell.
