Hush Darling

Avery Kingston

This book will stay with me for a long time. It's so good.

Get it

It’s time for Gia Giordano to die.

Nothing in Gia’s life had ever gone to plan. She never planned to become an orphan. She never planned to marry a dangerous, abusive man. She never planned to get pregnant. And now, there is only one way out. She has to disappear. Permanently.

This is the one thing in Gia’s life that must go according to plan.

Tanner Wilder is barely existing.

He’s spent the last three years of his life living in silent solitude with nothing but his grief and regrets. Then a snowstorm blows a beautiful, mysterious, creature into his life.

She’s nothing but trouble. Every word out of her mouth is a lie. Same as him.

So both are staying hush.

Sometimes two people don’t need words to connect.

AWAKEN ME will be in the SPOTLIGHT here

One bad decision, one reckless night, and one run in with his demons left Trevor McCall suspended in an unbreachable sleep.

Thanks to a cutting-edge-medical trial, Trevor wakes from his ten-year-long slumber to a world that’s completely changed. His body is broken, his family ties are in tatters, his dreams and memory are long gone, leaving him wondering why he’s still alive, and what he has left to live for.

With the death of her ruthless brother, Dr. Brook Davenport has been given a chance at redemption for a night that has haunted her for the last ten years. She returns to the home she’s avoided all those years in hopes of healing her savior.

As the secrets of their shared past are exposed, Trevor and Brooke fight to right the wrongs, putting their hearts and lives at risk in the process.

When it seems the world is against them, will love be enough to save them?

 UPDATES

We are currently spending the Christmas holiday in Texas with family and having a ball. Got to watch my grand daughter experience her first Christmas and out of all the toys she got, she has played with the books the most. A girl after her grandma's heart. 

Spending time in my hometown is both sweet and sad. It's a beautiful town and historic. It is the basis of the fictional town of Dalton in my series.  This is what it looks like right now all lit up for Christmas. 

Growing up I rode my bike all over town and now I get lost because it's grown so much, but it still holds a special place in my heart.

Bound by shadows. Bound by longing. Bound by the raven’s relentless call.

Mal Devlin is haunted by the ghost of a love he couldn’t save. Each breath is a debt to the darkness clinging to his soul. Desperate to defy fate, he turns to forbidden rituals and shadowed bargains, descending into a world of ancient curses and vengeful spirits.

Ari lingers in Mal’s dreams—a spectral beacon, her memory both agony and salvation. Drawn by the raven’s cryptic warnings, Mal must confront the bond that ties them beyond the grave. But as dark forces close in, he teeters on the edge of eternal night and may fall completely unless he can unlock the truth of their undying love.

Every choice demands a sacrifice, and the raven watches with ancient intent, its gaze a harbinger of doom. As Mal clings to Ari’s fading light, Isabella risks everything to keep him alive. If she fails, both love and light will be devoured.

A gothic tale of obsession, sacrifice, and the kind of love that never dies—perfect for fans of Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Laura Purcell.

Step into the shadows, if you dare. But heed the raven’s cry, for it is eternal…and it will not be denied.

A beloved silver screen star
A playboy doctor
Two scandals
One solution—fake date your long-lost first love

When two scandals unexpectedly reunite long-estranged first loves almost two decades after their painful breakup, can they put hurtful bygones aside to help each other? Will their surprising alliance lead to lost love found?

Honor Wheatley’s world has just imploded. A decorated film actor, the beloved “nepo baby” and darling of the silver screen flees to the Shenandoah Valley to escape the fallout from a devastating scandal. When Honor’s arranged lodging floods, she finds sanctuary in an unexpected place—the home of her first love and the man who shattered her surgically repaired heart years ago. And when Brinder agrees to be her personal guide on a sexual exploration journey as preparation for a film role—what could go wrong with that?

Dr. Brinder Desai has a well-earned reputation as player, earning him the nickname Dr. Desiiigh. A fabricated scandal jeopardizes his dream job. Brinder needs to show stability or risk losing the position he loves. Having Honor Wheatley—the woman who broke Brinder’s heart a lifetime ago and ruined him for relationships—in his home is a prescription for chaos he doesn’t need. Except—fake dating the woman he lost could be the very thing he needs to keep his job.

Stardust is a steamy, humorous, emotional contemporary romance about lost love found, healing, redemption, and second chances.

What's Next

THE ELUSIVE BILLIONAIRE

By Avery Maxwell

Grab it

One storm. One bed. One unforgettable night. One big mistake.

Savvy
Getting trapped with Greyson Reyes during a hurricane was not part of my plan. He’s grumpy, gorgeous, and the town’s most eligible billionaire. Oh, he’s also the man who has hated me since the day all my secrets blew up in our faces.
Worse, he’s even better at getting me naked than he is at getting under my skin. And he’s very good at that.

Grey
There’s only one thing I can’t forgive—betrayal. And Savvy Monroe not only crossed that line, she decimated it.
Now she’s stuck under my roof, in my bed, and testing every ounce of my control. The town gossip mill is placing bets on wedding bells, but I’m the kind of man who doesn’t get a happily ever after.

Which is why no one is more surprised than I am at how protective I become when Savvy’s past comes back to haunt her.

UPDATES

November was filled with traveling. We visited Maryland, DC and Virginia at the first of the month and Latrobe Pennsylvania later in the month. It never ceases to amaze me all the amazing things to see in our country.

I have to admit one of my favorite things to do while in DC was to visit the International Spy Museum. I got a glimpse at what it would be like to be a spy. Right up my alley.

Whatever it takes. As long as it takes.

Talon King carries the weight of his father’s legacy and his family’s expectations. As the oldest son of one of Guardian Security’s founding team members and now a team leader stepping into the shoes of Ronan Alexander, Talon proves himself in a world of violence and danger where there are no easy days. Yet, he’s a man who gets the job done—but always on his terms.
Riley Shoemaker is rich and privileged, and she knows it, but her life is thrown into chaos when pirates kidnap her in a remote part of the world. Rescued by Talon and his elite team, she assumes her father sent him to bring her home. But Riley soon discovers that her father may not be the man she thought he was—and Talon’s mission is far more complicated than saving her.
As Talon and Riley make their way through deceit, betrayal, and hidden truths, they are forced to rely on each other in ways neither expected. In the midst of danger, their connection grows stronger, and passion flares. But with secrets unraveling, can they trust what’s in front of them?

Sleigh Bells and Snowstorms

by Claire Kingsely

The perfect read for the season

Grab it

From USA Today Bestselling author Claire Kingsley, the stand-alone small-town/romcom/romantic suspense/Christmas romance you didn’t know you needed.

Handsome, charismatic, and charming, Jensen Lakes is an enigma in a designer suit. But his playboy reputation is a persona—one of many—that he uses in his unique line of work.

A priceless heirloom goes missing right before the holidays, and Jensen is hired to find it. Tracking down the perpetrator will be simple. He’ll be in and out before Santa hits chimneys.

Natalie Thatcher needs a break. She’s a dedicated sister, aunt, and nurse, but her life is no Christmas carol. Between bills, mounting home repairs, and holiday shopping still to be done, most days she feels like a tangled strand of lights.

Jensen follows his quarry to Tilikum, and the Christmas-clad town throws him for a loop. As does Natalie. He enlists her aid—who better to help him navigate the local quirks than the captivating woman next door? Despite their chemistry and sizzling banter, love isn’t on his Christmas list. Or hers.

But as danger mounts, Jensen finds himself in an unexpected position—falling in love with his partner. And when her life is on the line, he’ll risk everything to keep her safe.

And get her home for Christmas.

Author’s Note: A handsome charmer falls hard for a sassy small-town girl. Adventure, witty banter, Christmas coziness, and a holiday happily ever after that will leave your heart full.

Sleigh Bells and Snowstorms can be read as a stand-alone romance.
