🔥Feel Good Romance

💕Secretly Working Together





Luca Asher is my brother's ex-best friend, the best contractor in our small town of Lovers, a walking dream when he doesn’t have a shirt on—heck, with it on, too, and he was the first boy I ever loved.

He just doesn’t know that last part.

On the rare occasions I converse with him, I get a comeback for everything.

Our banter is my favorite thing. He’s so clever and quick and, again, sexier than any man I’ve ever met.

But none of that changes the fact that he betrayed my brother. My family. Me.

And none of those facts would matter except for my one little problem.

I had this plan to save my family's marina, which backfired. Now, my parents have given me a deadline to prove to them it’s still worth saving. If I don’t make it, they'll sell everything, and I’ll lose my dream to keep the place.

They gave me one rule: do not hire that Asher boy.

At this point, I have only one option left to make this happen.

Hire Luca and beg him not to tell a single soul about it.

My heart forgave him years ago, but my head knows better than to trust the enemy.

And yet, in a matter of weeks, he starts to remind me of the old us, and I find myself falling for him all over again.

The idea of me and Luca is … tempting.

Tempting Me is a small-town, steamy, enemies to lovers romance with his ex-best friend's sister, lots of banter, and a secret agreement.

After a year of unexpected twists, Abigail finds herself in the small town of Sugarville Grove, Vermont, as the guardian of her late cousin's two young children. Leaving behind her bustling city life and dream job at a veterinary practice, Abigail's only goal is to adjust to her new responsibilities and figure out how to be the mother they need.

She's destined to wield incredible power, if only I can save her from a fate worse than death...

Aziz

I'm an influential man serving the Vampire King as his second in command.
Our business is blood, and business is good, but my hands are rarely clean.
Supplying the supernaturals with their next high takes me to interesting places.

Like the one where I first spot her.

She's young, and gorgeous, with a birthmark that betrays her divine lineage.

But Jett Boyer has no idea the danger that's laying in wait for her.

Harnessing the powers of Apollo's favorite child would be a boon to the dark witches.
And her sweet, supple body would make a lovely addition to my collection of conquests.
Lucky for us both, I get to her first.

Now we must unravel the wicked alchemy of passion and the darkest parts of our world together.

And if I can somehow save the god's most beloved daughter, it won't just be to spare her from blood magic.

It will be to claim her for my own. She'll be the light that shines through the darkness hitting me where I least expect it.

HAPPY BOOK WEEK

Pretty Fly for a Vampire Guy by Leslie McAdam and CD Rachels is #nowavailable!

https://geni.us/PFFAVG


FREE with Kindle Unlimited


🧛 Perfect for fans of:
🌈 M/M romance
😂 Laugh-out-loud humor
🧙‍♂️ Paranormal meets New Adult vibes
💘 Standalone stories with fresh, quirky charm




Clay
I suck at being a vampire—literally. When the Halloween Wave turned a third of the population into monsters, I thought I was one of the lucky ones. I get to have my fit twenty-year-old body for decades. And vampires are supposed to be sexy, right?

But now that I’m finally in university, I still don’t fit in. I was supposed to find myself and spread my metaphorical vampire wings. Yet, I’m not good enough to be an academic, and too inept at flying to hang with monsters like me. At least flirting with my new nerdy lab partner can be some fun in the meantime.

Owen
I can't stand my lab partner. It's not because he's a monster—far from it, I find vampires attractive. But jocks don't go for academics like me, especially airheads like Clay. We only need to get through this class.

Then one day we're nursing an injured bat together, and Clay's sweet, compassionate side rears its teeth. Despite my best efforts, this gorgeous bloodsucker has me enchanted. When he wants to learn to fly, how can I refuse? This jock keeps failing at taking to the sky, but I fear I'm the one that's falling. A nerdy human like me dating a himbo vampire could spell a monster-sized disaster.

Pretty Fly for a Vampire Guy is a spicy paranormal romantic comedy set in the Creepin U shifter universe. Don’t read if you’re not interested in nerd-jock connections, flying lessons through the forest, monsters at university, and yes, a happily ever after.

#TeaserAlert




They're the most notorious magical troubleshooters...


But can they stop the darkest forces they've faced yet?


Mardi Gras Murders & Midnight Masquerades by @author_brendatrim is now available to preorder!

🔗 https://geni.us/MidnightMasquerades




Nothing ruins Mardi Gras season like finding bodies carved with ancient power-draining symbols and decorated with creepy-ass carnival masks.

For the Six Twisted Sisters, New Orleans' most notorious magical troubleshooters, this is just the start of their problems. Someone's hunting both supernatural and mundane victims, using twisted versions of their family's own grimoires, and building up to a demon-summoning ritual that'll make the city's bloodiest carnival in 1873 look like a kiddie parade.

With a swanky supernatural masquerade ball on the horizon, bodies dropping at historic locations around the city, and their protective wards going haywire across the French Quarter, the sisters are hip-deep in magical chaos. Add in a secret society of supernatural elites, mysterious artifacts surfacing at underground auctions, and a forgotten ritual from the 1920s threatening to rip open the veil between worlds, and they've got themselves a party.

The Six Twisted Sisters have kicked supernatural ass across the Big Easy before, but this time they're facing an enemy who knows their tricks—and is using their own family magic against them. Good thing these witches have enough combined power to make ancient vampires nervous, supernatural hotties watching their backs, and a caffeine addiction that would make a crack addict look tame.

In a city where magic runs darker than chicory coffee, they'll need it all to stop this killer from turning their masquerade into the deadliest supernatural showdown New Orleans has ever seen.

#ComingSoon


Dr. Beckett (Brothers Paradise) by Grace Maxwell



Release Date: August 11, 2025


We were childhood enemies. Now I’m sleeping in his guest room… and I’m not sure I want to leave.

Beckett


Sadie Calloway showing up on my doorstep in the middle of a storm wasn’t on my bingo card.

She’s my best friend’s little sister, the girl I used to torment for fun, and now she’s standing in my living room, dripping wet and out of options.

I’m a cardiothoracic surgeon—precision and control are my life. Sadie is chaos wrapped in baby oil and sarcasm.

But behind her sharp tongue and messy habits, I see the shadows of something darker—secrets she’s not ready to share.

Caleb asked me to keep her safe, and I gave him my word.
I just didn’t expect her to get under my skin—or into my bed.


Sadie


Beckett Paradise is the last man I ever thought I’d live with.
He used to make my life miserable. Now he’s giving me a place to stay—and a reason to feel safe.

But safety is an illusion.

My ex-boyfriend is hunting for something I took, and I’m running out of time.

Beckett is gruff, demanding, and way too hot for my peace of mind.
Worse? He sees me—really sees me—and I’m not sure I’m ready for what that means.

I didn’t come here looking for love. I came to survive.

But every day under his roof brings me closer to the one thing I swore I’d never risk again: my heart.

What can you expect from Dr. Beckett?

  • Medical romance
  • His best friend’s sister
  • Forced proximity
  • Fake relationship
  • So steamy it might melt your Kindle
  • Childhood enemies to unexpected roommates
  • A heroine on the run
  • A grumpy doctor with a hidden soft side

Dr. Beckett is a standalone romance with a happy ending. It’s the second book in the Brothers Paradise series and continues the story of the Paradise family you met in Dr. Greyson. Everything you need to know is included—no prior reading required.

The CEO I Hate (The Lockhart Brothers #1) by Leslie North


"Full of personality and destined to be all heart. From frustrating to funny, nobody does temptation like Leslie North." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)





Release Date: July 3, 2025




The Hating Game meets a much hotter Morning Glory—if the grumpy media exec was her brother’s best friend, and this time they actually kissed.

Liam Lockhart is my brother’s best friend, a decade older, and the kind of mistake I swore I’d never make twice.

Two years ago, we kissed—hard, hot, unforgettable—until he shoved me away like I was a mistake he couldn’t afford. Message received.

So I did what any heartbroken writer would I turned him into the villain of my webcomic. Broody, smug, infuriating—and totally based on Liam.

I thought I was subtle. I wasn’t.

Now, thanks to a twist of fate (and my brother’s injury), Liam’s offering me the job of a head writer on a hit show for his streaming platform.

The catch?

Working with him every day—while he pretends he hasn’t bonded with the stray mutt now following him everywhere—and trying not to strangle (or kiss) each other.

I should say no. I should remember how it felt when he ghosted me.

But this is my dream job. And staying professional is the plan.

Right up until his lips crash into mine again.

We can keep it casual. We can keep it quiet.

As long as my brother never finds out.
As long as we don’t catch feelings.
As long as I don’t do something truly stupid—like falling for my brother’s best friend.

Kissing Liam the first time was a mistake. Doing it again? A disaster waiting to happen.

Full of personality and destined to be all heart. From frustrating to funny, nobody does temptation like Leslie North. The CEO I Hate is at it's best when boundaries are pushed and emotion runs wild.

Release Date: July 3, 2025



She had my baby.

She never told me.

Now she wants distance?

Too late.


I let them talk me out of her.

The family. The pressure. The future I was groomed for.


And I was stupid enough to believe walking away was the right thing—

that she’d be safer without my name, my life, my chaos.


I never knew she was carrying my son.

I never knew what I was losing.


Now I see her again… and I see him.

His eyes. His smile. My blood.


And suddenly the last four years are a blur of rage, grief, and hunger I can’t control.


She wants boundaries.

I want my family.

And I will tear down this entire broken world before I let either of them slip through my fingers again.


I didn’t come back to visit.

I came back to stay.

She’s mine.

He’s mine.

And I don’t lose what’s mine twice.


Read on for second chance redemption, secret baby angst, ruthless billionaire obsession, found family, and a man hellbent on reclaiming the life he lost—no matter the cost. If you love possessive anti-heroes, sharp heroines, and broken hearts that still burn, this one’s for you. HEA guaranteed.

Wife Material by Imani Anderson and Vixa Vaughn


"A duet of hearts that is steamy, complicated and unforgettable.  Wife Material blends sweet and sultry to perfection." - (Isha ., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)






Release Date: July 3, 2025



She’s messy. Loud. Covered in flour.
And now she’s my wife.


I marry her to solve a problem. She marries me to survive one.

No feelings. No drama. No future.

That’s the deal.

But Selene moves into my world like a storm—tripping over my rules, humming in my kitchen, and looking at me like I’m not a man made of stone.

She’s not perfect.
She’s chaos in a sundress.

And she’s making it harder to remember why this marriage was supposed to be fake.

Because the longer she stays…
The more I want to keep her.

Even if loving her risks everything I’ve built.
Even if losing her might break the only heart I swore I didn’t have.


Read on for fake marriage, forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine, late-night slow burns, and one cold billionaire who never saw her coming. HEA guaranteed.
