Fae from across the land have come to the enchanting Spring Court in hopes of winning Lia’s affection. But the future queen is not easily swayed.

[Release Blitz + Review] Vow of Revenge by P. Rayne

The first book in P. Rayne's upcoming Mafia Academy series features an enemies-to-lovers arranged marriage between Marcelo Costa and Mirabella La Rosa while they attend college at the secretive and private Sicuro Academy.

VOW OF REVENGE by P. Rayne is NOW LIVE!!

ABOUT THE BOOK.

Nothing ruins a perfect day like your dead fiancé showing up in the middle of your first class.

Mirabella La Rosa

When my father arranged for me to marry the next in line to lead the Costa crime family, I swore I'd do anything to escape that fate. I have way more to offer my family than being some man's arm candy, producing heirs, and making appearances at weddings and baptisms.

Marcelo Costa might be my fiancé, but he'll never be my husband.

Somehow, I get lucky because he and his father are killed in a car bombing. Not only do I not have to go from being a mafia princess to a mafia wife, but now I can attend college at the Sicuro Academy--an affluent private college created for mafia children like me.

I'm so excited. I've moved into my dorm room with my best friend, put on the uniform and am ready to learn. But all my plans come to a screeching halt when he shows up on campus alive and well, seeking revenge on those that crossed him.

Marcelo Costa

The look of shock on my fiancée's face when I walk into the classroom at the Sicuro Academy gives me more pleasure than it should.

Mirabella made it clear she didn't want to marry me, and she's a problem to be dealt with for sure. But now, she's the smaller of my two problems.

The only reason I'm at the Sicuro Academy is because my investigation into the bomb that killed my father and almost took me out has led me here.

So I'll allow Mirabella to stay at the academy while I track down my father's murderer, but once I've brought that person to my own particular brand of justice I'll remove her from campus and make her my wife.

And no amount of pleading on her part will change my mind.

AUTHOR: Jacob Chance

GENRE: Sports Romance/Romantic Comedy

RELEASE DATE: April 21, 2023

COVER DESIGN: Dee Garcia from Black Widow Designs

My dad has been the coach of the Charleston Coyotes for as long as I can remember. All the time I’ve spent in ice rinks has taught me two things:

1.) I will NEVER date a hockey player.

As a single mom, it’s not like I have time for romance anyway.

2.) Nothing smells worse than hockey players after a game.

And I work as a dog groomer, so I have experience with smelly animals.

It’s amazing how quickly my rules are forgotten when Darius walks into my pet salon.

Tall, dark, and tattooed with rippling muscles and a perfect smile must be my kryptonite, because I find myself agreeing to go out with him.

But we’re both keeping secrets we’re not ready to share. And when they finally come out, everything changes between us.

I do my best to keep my distance from him.

Yet, the more I fight my feelings, the more I find myself wanting the winger.

[Release Blitz + Review] French Holiday by Sarah Ready

“This is a winner!”

–Publisher’s Weekly, starred review 

French Holiday, an all-new enemies to lovers, forced proximity romantic comedy by Sarah Ready is OUT NOW!!

ABOUT THE BOOK.

One (crumbling) French castle. Two enemies-at-first-sight. The holiday of a lifetime.

Merry DeLuca has a problem—a big problem. Her sister just married her best friend and the only man she’s ever loved. Her life is rapidly spiraling down the drain and she doesn’t have an escape plan. 

So when Merry is offered a three-month holiday living in a romantic castle in the French countryside she leaps at the chance. Merry knows her French holiday will fix everything—there will be mouthwatering pastries, delicious (meaningless) flirtations, and languid strolls through vineyards at sunset. Her holiday will be perfect. 

At least, Merry believes that until she arrives and finds Noah Wright—the best man at her sister’s wedding and the worst man she’s ever known—staying in her castle. 

Famous travel documentarian by day and arrogant devil by night, Noah refuses to leave the castle. Which means that Merry and Noah are stuck together in France, in a crumbling castle, in a holiday where nothing goes right. Not for Merry and not for Noah. 

So they strike a truce—they’ll live as cohabitating friends for three-months, and then they’ll amicably part ways, never to see each other again. 

But the thing about friendship? Sometimes secrets are uncovered. Mysteries revealed. Hearts laid bare. And friendship can start to feel a lot like caring. A lot like love. It can even make you wish that the holiday never has to end.

AUTHOR: Jessica Prince

GENRE/TROPE: Contemporary Romance; Small Town Romance; Brother's Best Friend

I knew my best friend’s little sister was off limits, I just couldn’t help myself.

When a tragic accident caused Ford Grimes to trade the fast pace of the city for the refuge that came with being a small-town firefighter, the last thing he wanted was romance. Then he met the seductive manager of the local pizzeria and found himself questioning all the rules he’d put into place for his new life.

Hardin Shields may as well have had a neon sign strapped to her that said do not touch in big, glowing letters. The single mother had enough on her plate. With a family restaurant to run and an ex who was making her life difficult, the last thing she needed was for her unrequited crush on her older brother’s best friend to take a turn into . . . something.

When the chemistry becomes too hot to ignore, they decide to keep things light and fun, but when danger comes lurking, threatening Hardin, Ford has to decide if he’s strong enough to let go of the pain of the past in order to protect the woman who’s coming to mean too much, or let her go.

[Release Blitz + Review] Nocticadia by Keri Lake

TITLE: Nocticadia

AUTHOR: Keri Lake

GENRE: Dark Academia Gothic Romance

RELEASE DATE: April 25, 2023

BLURB.

Mortui vivos docent.

The dead teach the living.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I’d find the cure for what ravaged her. And leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me.

Four years later, I receive an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest, most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it’s rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before. Those whose bones are said to make up the island’s white sandy shores.

And restless ghosts aren’t even its most daunting peculiarity.

Devryck Bramwell, known on campus as Doctor Death, is a brilliant pathologist in charge of the midnight lab. He’s also my devastatingly handsome professor, who seems to loathe tenacious first-years, like me. Except, his dark and enigmatic gaze tells me all the ways he’d devour me if given the chance, and his stolen kisses burn my lips with forbidden jealousy.

I crave his authority.

He aches for redemption.

Together, we’re toxic. Delicious fodder for the prying eyes hellbent on exhuming the rotted skeletons of our pasts.

For the dead have much to teach, and it’s only a matter of time before Dracadia’s most depraved secret is resurrected.

Embrace The Suck is book 8 in the OPS Protector Romance series and should be read in order.

I should have just stayed home.

I thought I could get away and relax.
But that was scrapped the first day when Dash and FNG followed me on vacation.
It was supposed to be a trip to reset my brain.
To get away from all the women flooding work, desperate to be involved and blow stuff up, throw knives, and eat shawarma with the resident psychopath.

But they weren’t the worst part of the trip.

No, that would be the woman that shouldn’t have ever stepped foot in a desert.
Whining and complaining were not supposed to happen on this trip.
But it did.
I should not have had to fight off a rabbit in a yurt.
But I did.
And that bighorn sheep…

But that was only the beginning of the worst vacation known to man.
Then there were bullets, enemies coming from all directions, and the sexiest, most annoying woman directly in the center of it.
And I had to protect her.

They say vacation is fun.
They’ve never been on one with her.

Bad-boy hockey player Hayden Harrington always lands on his feet. Or skates, in this case.

After a scandalous fling with the coach’s daughter comes to light, this good-looking hotshot forward is swiftly traded to the Atlanta Thunder—an up-and-coming new hockey team.

It’s not all bad, though.

This could be his big chance to play center on the top line.

Still, though she’s hot as sin, he’s happy he’ll never have to see her again.

Or will he?

What Hayden doesn’t know is Addison just landed a job with the Thunder too. And what it involves is spending an exorbitant amount of time with him working on rehabilitating his image.

Ha, like that’ll go well.

Hayden is an enemies-to-friends love story and the first book in the new Breakaway Hockey romance series. (can be a standalone)
