DEADLY SECRETS

by Amber Allee

GRAB IT

Buried Secrets. Stolen Love. Second Chances.

At sixteen, Rhett loved Remi with everything he had. She was his first love, his future, and the one bright spot in a life he couldn’t wait to escape. Until one bloody night left two people dead, Rhett behind bars for murder, and everything they planned ripped away.

Fourteen years later, Rhett is now Reaper, a free man, and a hardened member of Dead Road MC.

Remi never forgot Rhett. She never stopped trying to reach him. And when their paths finally collide one fateful night, Reaper discovers she’s been keeping a secret that changes everything.

But their second chance comes at the worst possible time.

With the Colombian cartel hunting Dead Road MC and revenge closing in from every direction, Reaper finally has something worth losing again.

The first time, Rhett lost everything without a fight.
This time, anyone coming for his family will learn why they call him Reaper.

FATE by Hannah McBride

GRAB IT

I can't stop running.

Until one fateful day when another wolf chases me down.

Suddenly I'm frozen by the realization that maybe I wasn't running away from my past.

Maybe I was running into my FATE.

DUTCH 

by Riley Edwards

GRAB IT

He was trained to eliminate threats. He never expected to fall for one.

Dutch doesn't do relationships. He doesn't make promises he can't keep. And he sure as hell doesn't let anyone close enough to become a weakness.

As the leader of Black Team, an off-the-books unit of former Navy SEALs, Dutch operates in the shadows, doing the jobs no one can acknowledge. He's ruthless, disciplined, and damn good at what he does.

Then Penny Cox walks into his life and threatens every ounce of his carefully maintained control.

Brilliant, stubborn, and entirely too tempting, the former NSA cryptographer has already survived a kidnapping. Now she's determined to uncover who's behind it—and why someone with access to America's most closely guarded secrets wants her silenced.

Dutch knows the smart move is to keep his distance.

Too bad there's nothing smart about the way he wants her.

Penny has spent her entire life fighting to survive. She's learned not to depend on anyone, especially men who think they know what's best for her. And Dutch? He's the most infuriating, overbearing, maddeningly attractive man she's ever met.

He's also the first man who's made her wonder what it would feel like to belong.

When Penny discovers evidence of a national security breach, Black Team is pulled into a deadly international conspiracy where the intelligence can't be trusted, enemies are hiding in plain sight, and one wrong move could ignite a war.

Dutch has spent his life protecting his team and eliminating threats.

But protecting Penny is different.

Because somewhere between trying to keep her safe and fighting the feelings he swore he'd never have, the most dangerous man she's ever known has fallen in love.

And anyone who comes for his woman is about to learn exactly why they call in Black Team when every other option has failed.

UNBOUND 

by Janice Whitaker

GRAB IT

Losing my dad was the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through.

He was patient and kind. Loving and smart. The funniest person in every room and the last person on every dance floor. The most amazing man I’d ever known.

Except it turns out, I didn’t really know him at all.

My father had secrets, and their trail leads me straight to McKinley Security Systems.

Straight to Walker McKinley.

Walker is so different from the man who brought us together. He’s stoic and serious. Quiet and calm. Has an intensity and focus that pulls me in.

He makes me feel seen. Understood. Safe.

But I’m not safe, and neither is Walker. Unlocking the truth of our shared past carries a danger neither of us expects.

And one of us might not survive.

WHAT AM I READING

The Weight of Ashes by Erin Fitzgerald

GRAB IT

I am working my way through this series and Benjamin Benson has my heart. He is the funny sweet baby of the family. I have loved every story in this series but I have to admit, I've been excited to get started with Ben's story and I'm loving it.

She was the one who got away. Now she’s back, and trouble’s right behind her.

Tristyn Henderson was my best friend. The girl I wanted more than my next breath.

Then she disappeared—no goodbye, no explanation—just gone.

Now she’s home in Colson Creek, showing up at church and Sunday dinners like a ghost.
Won’t look me in the eye. Won’t tell me why she left—and she’s furious with me.

My situation changes overnight, and so does hers when danger shows up on her doorstep. So I don’t give her a choice.

She stays with me.

Under my roof.

In my space.

Too damn close to forget what we were… and everything we never got to be.

But Tristyn’s secrets run deep. And the closer I get, the more I realize she’s protecting more than her heart.

To keep her safe, I’ll have to lean on my brothers, face what came between us, and fight like hell for the second chance I should’ve never lost.

Because this time?

I’m not letting her run away again.

 

UPDATE

COVER REVEAL

only here

TEACH ME TO LOVE is on the horizon and I can't be more excited. The uber growly Logan finally will have a chance to explain why he's always so prickly, and Rylan will have her chance to shed some light on why she has sworn off all men.

We don't have a release date yet, but sit tight. It's coming.

I'm also in the final stages of writing book four so, my fingers are tired. I'm hoping for a spring release with that one and it's going to be EPIC. And when I say EPIC I mean this thing is THICK! I'm bordering on fantasy size. 

Isn't this cover pretty? GAH! It's PERFECT

WHISPERS BENEATH THE LIVE OAKS

by Monica Craig

GRAB IT

Some secrets are buried. Others are waiting to be heard.

When Clara Monroe inherits her grandmother’s secluded ranch in the Texas Hill Country, she expects to confront grief, fading memories, and the difficult decision of whether to keep the land she once called home. Instead, she discovers an old journal filled with cryptic warnings, a hidden letter from 1957, and whispers drifting through the live oaks—whispers that seem to know her name.

Across the pasture, Cole Travis has returned to his family’s neglected ranch carrying unanswered questions of his own. His father’s final message points to the same place Clara’s grandmother feared: the Hollow Oak, an ancient tree standing above a secret that has bound the Monroe, Travis, and Delaney families for generations.

As Clara and Cole follow a trail of letters, maps, and buried evidence, they uncover the story of Sarah Delaney—a young woman whose forbidden love ended in betrayal and bloodshed. But the closer they come to the truth, the more violently the land responds. Storms gather beneath clear skies, forgotten voices rise from the river, and someone determined to protect the past begins watching their every move.

Drawn together by a connection neither expected, Clara and Cole must decide how much they are willing to risk to break a cycle of silence. Because beneath the live oaks, the dead have never stopped whispering—and the truth refuses to remain buried.

WHAT AM I READING

WE ALL FALL DOWN

by Erin Fitzgerald

Grab it

I have read a couple of Colson Creek books already and I decided it was time to start at the beginning and get caught up with all the characters. We All Fall Down has so far totally captured my heart.

I'm not invited to the family meeting that decides my fate, and when it's announced that Dad's retiring and I'll be taking over the farm, I know exactly what this is: A rescue mission. My brothers are tired of dragging me out of the bottom of a bottle, where I can predictably be found drowning my sorrows.

When Beckett's brought in to manage the transition, you might say it doesn't go smoothly. I can't stand that my family's hired a business consultant to babysit me. I know they fear I'll run the farm into the ground, and maybe I take my anger out on her... but I'm surprised when she gives it right back, and soon I'm looking forward to our arguments more than I should.

We were set up to be enemies from the start, and I tell myself I can't wait for her to finish out her contract and go back to Texas. But Beckett has secrets, some that followed her all the way to Minnesota, and I discover my life wasn't at all what I thought.

We All Fall Down is a midlife, enemies to lovers tale of heartbreak, disappointment, loss, and overcoming addiction. This story has a strong mental health rep, plenty of banter and a tight-knit family who put one another first.

 

UPDATES

When it rains, it pours. I was glad when July finally waved bye but August said hold my beer. Of course. How many things can go wrong on a house in one month? Well, they say they come in threes and that holds true for us. We've replaced a roof, a refrigerator and our heating and A/C. Yeah.

BUT

I am excited. Book 3 of Elena Shores is at the editor. EEEEK! Promos are coming. I can't wait for you to see the cover. It's AWESOME. And...I have some amazing swag coming too.

On top of that, I am nearly done on rough re-writes for book 4. So, hopefully by spring, I will have 4 books in the Elena Shores series.

BOOK ME ROMANCE was a huge success. I absolutely love the event and I've already signed up for next year.

SPOTLIGHT

Late Harvest by Cathryn Lyons

Grab it

The role of a lifetime doesn’t always take place on the silver screen

Arabella “Remy” Remington

I’m a surgeon. I like things tidy—rules, routines, predictability, perfection. And I guard my heart as fiercely as the women and children I’m dedicated to helping.

Until he enters the picture.

Sebastian Wheatley is a walking red flag. A charming, sexy as sin, Hollywood-mega-star red flag. He’s smooth and unpredictable—something decidedly unsafe in the world I’ve intentionally created for myself. But one look at him has my blood heating, and I’m not sure if it’s from annoyance…or desire.

The charming devil slides into my life, looking to make a deal. A temporary marriage of convenience to help him land the role of a lifetime. In exchange, I get the funds necessary to secure the stability of a cause deeply important to me.

My common sense says “run.” But despite the risk to my carefully tidy life and the fortress it provides for my painful secrets and battered heart, something about him has me accepting the proposal. And hoping I haven’t just derailed everything I’ve ever worked for.

Late Harvest brings heart, heat, and humor in book one of the Red Wine Supper Club, a later-in-life romance series.

WHAT AM I READING

The London King by KoKo Heart

It is FABULOUS

Pre-Order it

Max King

I’m a King by name and a King by nature. As one of the heirs to The London Royals empire, I knew I’d end up as a mafia boss. And I was ready for it. The only problem came in the form of my best friend's sister, the mafia princess, and my future bride. Promised to me by the generation before us, we were supposed to rule London together. With the heirs of the other houses by our sides, we’d have been unstoppable. But she broke that promise. She betrayed everything we stood for. She went rogue. But now she’s back and needs a King to protect her. My name may be her saviour, but will she be my undoing?

Luna Lord

I was born to be a mafia princess, promised to him before I had a choice. He believes I chose the enemy over him. He’s wrong. I never betrayed him. Instead, I risked my safety to prove my loyalty, and now I need protection that only his name can give me. He’s blinded by pride, too stubborn to see he’s always been my future. So I’ll just have to convince him. I’ve never backed down from a challenge, especially one involving Max King. If I can prove my loyalty to him, I can unite the four heirs to The London Royals once again. But will my ‘betrayal’ be too much for him to handle?
