Cover Reveal: A Simple Mistake [Cooper Town Boys 03] by Lacey Black!

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…

Release Day Blitz: Sprog [Black Saints MC Portland 07] by Summer Winters!

He broke her heart to save her future. Ten years later, she's the one who saves his son.

Austin "Sprog" Mitchell made the hardest choice of his life at seventeen. He staged the worst moment Savannah could imagine, put her on the road to medical school, and told himself it was the right thing to do. He's spent a decade trying to believe it.

Now Savannah's back in town, back in her own surgery, and Austin's eight-year-old son EJ has just been brought through her door with a bullet in him.

She doesn't walk away. She never has.

Savannah came home to start over, not to fall back into the arms of the man who destroyed her. But EJ is impossible not to love, Austin is impossible not to want, and the Black Saints MC is not the world she imagined when she was nineteen and furious and leaving.

Second chances don't come with guarantees. But some loves don't give up just because you tell them to.

Release Blitz: Between Sin and Ruin [Ruinous Duet 01] by SS Rayne!

In the Dominion, marriage wasn’t about love.

It was about power, loyalty, and survival.

I knew that when I said my vows.

I learned how to be still.

How to be perfect.

How to stand beside a man like Alaric Kostas—heir to an empire built on blood—and never let him see where I could break.

And for a while, I didn’t.

Because Alaric didn’t destroy what belonged to him.

He protected it.

Controlled it.

Closed his hand around it until there was nowhere left to run.

I let him.

I let him build a world around me that looked like devotion and felt like ownership.

Until the night I saw something I was never meant to see.

That was the night the illusion died.

The night I stopped being his perfect wife, and remembered exactly what I was capable of becoming.

Author bio:

SS Rayne writes dark romance filled with betrayal, obsession, morally gray characters, and emotionally complicated love stories that refuse to mellow.

Inspired by psychological thrillers, crime dramas, and the beautifully disastrous side of human emotion, her books explore toxic devotion, dangerous power dynamics, feminine rage, and the thin line between love and ruin.

When she isn’t writing destructive fictional couples, she’s usually reading, spending time with her family, wrangling animals, and losing arguments with the morally questionable voices in her head demanding she writes their story.

Blog Tour & Giveaway: How to Love a Lord [A B.A.D. Guide 02] by Tina Holland!

Excerpt!

   Arabella in another man’s arms unsettled him more than Amelia’s wedding. How could that be? He’d once believed his heart belonged to Amelia. But she'd married Devonhold, and instead of breaking him, it had brought anger and now… relief. That was the truth, wasn’t it? A quiet, undeniable sense of rightness had settled over him then, but now a storm raged at the idea of losing Arabella. It wasn’t just an obligation that pulled him toward her. It was the realization that he may have loved her all along.

   A flash of light blue caught his eye when she sailed through the doorway, mercifully alone. She looked thin. Perhaps she wasn’t well.

   As he traversed the room toward her, she lifted her gaze and met his. Her stare reminded him of a doe ready to flee. “Would you care for the next dance?” he asked once he reached her side.

   Arabella crossed her arms. “I heard you abused Charlotte’s feet last night, so I think not.”

   “A turn in the garden, then.”

   “That wouldn’t be proper.”

   Was she truly going to pretend nothing had passed between them? Damn it, he wouldn’t be dismissed like some unwanted suitor. “We must speak to one another,” he fairly shouted over the music, drawing eyes to them.

   Her cheeks flushed, and her mouth formed an ‘O’, before she turned on her heel and left, her bottom a dancing curve of pale blue silk as she fled. Once she reached the edge of the ballroom, he discreetly followed her.

   Arabella darted down the hall, opened a door at the end, and entered a room.

   Pierce glanced over his shoulder to ensure no one followed them. Once at the door, he stopped with his hand on the handle.

After a night of mistaken identity and unexpected passion, Arabella Kendall vows to keep her secret, especially from Viscount Pierce Ellis, the man who unknowingly claimed her heart. With her twin sister, Amelia, eager for a London Season, Arabella escapes to the Scottish countryside, determined to avoid scandal and matrimony.

Pierce, Viscount Kernwith, has always believed he loved the poised and perfect Amelia Fitzwilliam. But when he learns it was Arabella he spent that fateful night with, everything changes. Realizing the truth, he’s determined to make Arabella his bride.

But Kernwith is on the brink of ruin, and as they work together to save the estate, buried secrets emerge. As the past is revealed, Arabella must decide: can she trust the man who mistook her for someone else, or will pride keep them apart forever?

Book Blitz & Giveaway: The Secret of the Smiling Rock Man by Joe Cappello!

In his first collection of short stories Joe Cappello presents an array of characters whom he describes as having “rocks in their heads.” Instead of accepting the hand life has dealt them, they pursue more outlandish solutions to its problems. The reader witnesses firsthand the zany antics these characters employ to cope with the situations they encounter in each story: Mortality…daring to know death’s secret and determined to face it without fear and dread; Workplace… seeking an environment that is based on teamwork and respect, rather than fear and intimidation; Family…taking extraordinary steps to unite an estranged family and to bring another closer together; Language…re-establishing the sacred role of words in our lives as a unifier of people and a conveyor of truth. All told with a healthy dose of humor and a belief that life can be joyful, hopeful and a down-right hoot.

Author bio:

Joe Cappello’s creative life began when he accepted a minor speaking role in a play, walked on stage for the first time, and came to the terrifying realization that, “Oh, no, they sold tickets!”

Fortunately, he overcame his initial stage fright and began accepting roles in community theatre, the parts of Oscar Madison in “The Odd Couple” and Ivan Lomov in “The Proposal” among his favorites. He studied acting in New York City and performed in a couple of Off-Off Broadway productions including Sam Shepherd’s “Buried Child,” where he played the crotchety, whiney patriarch, Dodge (a part for which his wife felt he was uniquely suited).

He wrote and produced plays for children, awarding roles to his sons and other kids in his neighborhood (earning the gratitude of their parents who considered rehearsals free babysitting). He started writing adult plays and received a number of accolades including an honorable mention in the 2020 Bridge Award contest sponsored by Arts in the Armed Forces (AIAF) for his full-length play, “The Stars of Orion” and selection as the winner of the 2022 Susan Hansell Drama Award for his one act play, “Monarch.”

But the logistics of staging plays proved too time consuming. In his early 30's he started writing short stories and flash fiction pieces and submitting them for publication. Many of the stories presented in this collection have been published in online magazines and anthologies, and some have achieved recognition, most notably, “The Secret of the Smiling Rock Man,” First Place, National Federation of Press Women’s Communications Contest (2022); “They Only Showed Elvis from the Waist Up,” First Place, Southwest Writers Writing Contest (2023); and “Running Errands,” Finalist, Hemingway Shorts Competition, sponsored by the Ernest Hemingway Foundation of Oak Park (2023).

Release Week Blitz: Eliza Waite by Ashley E. Sweeney!

After the tragic death of her husband and son on a remote island in Washington’s San Juan Islands, Eliza Waite joins the throng of miners, fortune hunters, business owners, con men, and prostitutes traveling north to the Klondike in the spring of 1898. When Eliza arrives in Skagway, Alaska, she has less than fifty dollars to her name and not a friend in the world—but with some savvy, and with the help of some unsavory characters, Eliza opens a successful bakery on Skagway’s main street and befriends a madam at a neighboring bordello. Occupying this space—a place somewhere between traditional and nontraditional feminine roles—Eliza awakens emotionally and sexually. But when an unprincipled man from her past turns up in Skagway, Eliza is fearful that she will be unable to conceal her identity and move forward with her new life. Using Gold Rush history, diary entries, and authentic pioneer recipes, Eliza Waite transports readers to the sights sounds, smells, and tastes of a raucous and fleeting era of American history.

Release Day Blitz: Forget That Guy [Don't Date Him 05] by Lani Lynn Vale!

Holly Lorena Cain, formerly known as Georgina Lorena Cain, was well acquainted with rock bottom. She’s coasted along its rocky shores for years. It all started when her mother left her when she was barely old enough to understand. For years, her and her dad struggled to make ends meet. A dying cattle farm can’t run itself, and with her dad having cancer, it got harder and harder to hang on to land that’s been in her family for generations.

Just as she thinks that she’s finally made it, her father passes away and leaves every single thing he owns to their neighbor. The man that’d been worming his way into her father’s good graces while she’d been away pursuing higher education.

But she can’t be mad.

Being mad would mean that she has a soul left, but she sold that a long time ago to pay for college.

Once she comes to terms with her father and the land being gone, she moves back to Bear Pass and with one thing on her mind—avoid Denver at all costs. He can never know just how much it hurt that he stole her life away from her.

Only, he makes it impossibly hard to stay away.

He’s there around every corner. He offers her a place to stay. Makes sure she has a place to work. Fixes her car. Saves her from a kidnapper. Oh, and gives her everything her heart desires.

She stays away as best as she can, but she doesn’t stand a chance against Denver’s determination and charm. He’s there when no one else is, peeling her off the floor and propping her back up again each time she falls.

The gruff motorcycle club president with his scary glares and harsh work ethic has decided to make her his, and he won’t stand for her refusal.

He’s been protecting her for her entire life, and she doesn’t even know it.

He won’t stop now, even if she’s bound and determined to stay away.
