BLURB.

Power outages. Runaway brides. Collapsed wedding cakes. Tainted caviar. Handsy grooms.

And the always classic: jealous MILs who wear white.

No wedding catastrophe can faze Katie Gallagher, because when you plan for the worst, you deliver the best.

The best wedding ever.

Her company, Wedding Protectors, Inc., promises happily ever afters. Guaranteed. Whatever it takes.

But always-prepared Katie? She’s steering clear of her own HEA. Years of dating older, wealthy, alpha businessmen who treat her like an ornament has left a bad taste in her mouth.

And some bruises on her ego.

Love is her job. Not her destiny.

So when she falls for silver fox and self-made millionaire Patrick Cooper, she breaks a rule so taboo, it doesn’t technically exist:

Never fall for the bride’s father.

Enter Patrick, a widowed art dealer with salt-and-pepper charm. He can't resist trying to share an Uber with the captivating, enticingly stubborn blonde. Their encounter? Classic enemies-to-lovers. Sparks fly, but not the good kind... at first.

Starting off on the wrong foot left a terrible impression, but when a series of coincidences pushes them together, the more time they spend with each other, the more the lines blur.

Chance favors the risk-takers, so when he takes a leap of faith and gets a passionate kiss that rocks his world, Katie opens closed doors in his heart.

Can he really have a new soulmate —

Or is this just a May-December fling?

[Release Blitz + Review] Killing Booth by Lani Lynn Vale

TITLE: Killing Booth

SERIES: Welcome to the Circus

AUTHOR: Lani Lynn Vale

GENRE: Romantic Suspense

TROPES: Enemies to Lovers/Sports Romance

RELEASE DATE: February 27, 2024

BLURB.

Every single thing you want is going to require you to be uncomfortable.

Those words had been shared with her by the one man she didn’t think she could take a chance on. She just didn’t know that he was right, or that he was going to be the one making her uncomfortable.

Nash Wilder Christopherson was the world’s golden boy.

For fifteen years, she watched Nash race from the safety of her phone. Every single race, PR event, ESPN interview—she was there for it. He was the one thing that kept her sane while having to live the life her father forced her to.

That was all he’d ever be to her, though. A face on the other side of the screen.

Until he showed up at her apartment complex, carried her sister down hundreds and hundreds of stairs during a fire, and changed her opinion of him.

Nash Christopherson was Mean. With a capital M. And he couldn’t stand her.

***

He thought he had everything under control. Then he met her.

Nash knew from the moment he saw Zip waiting in her apartment, looking panicked, that she was going to damage him. She was going to pull him in, chew him up, and spit him out.

What he didn’t know was just how much damage he could take.

Nearly a year passed as he tried and failed to stay away.

A full year of her smiles, her playful jabs, her teasing, her eyes on him.

Then he got news that changed his life, and she finally took matters into her own hands, forcing herself into his life and pretty much giving him everything he ever wanted.

Everything was great, until it wasn’t. Life smacked him hard, and when the dust settled, she was gone. The only sign that she was ever there was the cracked and bleeding heart, half beating inside his chest, that yearned to hold her one more time.

[Release Blitz + Review] Free Fire Zone by Giulia Lagomarsino

TITLE: Free-Fire Zone: An OPS Protector Romance

SERIES: Owens Protective Services Book 17

AUTHOR: Giulia Lagomarsino

GENRE: Romantic Suspense/Protector Romance

RELEASE DATE: February 26, 2024

COVER DESIGN: T.E. Black Designs

PHOTOGRAPHER: Reggie Deanching

COVER MODEL: Scott Holliday

She’s amazing.

I know that sounds cliche, but it’s one hundred percent true.

She’s so funny and smart and beautiful and…amazing.

I have it so bad for her, and I thought for a moment she liked me too.

Then I realized what I thought was a sign of her liking me was actually a sign she was sliding me into the dreaded friend zone.

I fu@king hate the friend zone.

I was so close to winning her over, and then that roughneck came along, pushing me even further into the zone.

Just like a mechanic, he has qualities I could never possess—like working with a wrench. I could hold a wrench for a photograph and no woman would drool over me.

Alas, that’s the life of a protection agent. Sure, I have rippling muscles and can kill a guy with my bare hands, but I could never compete with this illusion women have about greasy men.

And to make matters worse, I said she could stay with me.

That’s right. I am officially the stupidest man ever.

I’ve doomed myself to a life of fantasies that will never be fulfilled, all because I can’t stop picturing that beautiful, thick hair cascading over her shoulders like a waterfall.

Like I said…

I have it bad, and there’s no way out for me.

[Release Blitz + Review] Meant for Stone by Natasha Madison

💜💜 NEW RELEASE💜💜

We are excited to celebrate MEANT FOR STONE by Natasha Madison is LIVE!!

ABOUT THE BOOK.

From Wall Street Journal and USA TODAY bestselling author Natasha Madison comes a brand new sports romance.

A spin-off from the Hollywood Playboy & This Is Crazy.

Ryleigh

Growing up in Hollywood, I was surrounded by liars and phonies.

So when I got my law degree, I knew I wanted to work as a district attorney.

Busy days turned to long nights—I was on my way up the ladder.

Then he happened.

Bullied his way into my life as if there was no choice.

Suddenly everything I thought I wanted wasn’t as important.

Stone

I had one thing on my mind and that was never going to change: The game.

The only goal I had was beating the records set by my family.

I didn’t have time for anything else.

Until she walked in the room.

The earth shifted, just like the stories said it would.

I said it wouldn’t happen—not to me.

I didn’t have the time, but now she was the only thing on my mind.

I knew it was her.

Now I had to convince her.

[Release Blitz + Review] Falling for Mr. Bad by Melissa Foster

Falling for Mr. Bad by Melissa Foster is now live!!

ABOUT THE BOOK.

She’s a badass musician with no patience for overinflated egos. He’s a billionaire tasked with wrangling her into submission. Going head-to-head has never been so much fun. Especially since neither one is afraid to play dirty.

Sable Montgomery loves her single, do-as-she-pleases small-town life. She sees family often, spends her days working in her auto shop and many evenings playing at a local pub with her band, Surge. She has no desire to settle down or let any man tell her what to do. When Surge is offered what most people would consider the chance of a lifetime to tour with and open for Bad Intentions, the hottest rock band of the decade, her bandmates are all in, but she's determined to walk away. Sable has no patience for glitz, glamour, or overinflated egos, and that includes the infuriatingly hot billionaire sent to wrangle her into submission.

 

Taking over as manager for his brother's band wasn't on business mogul Kane Bad's agenda last year, much less negotiating with the stubborn and beautiful lead singer for Surge, but there's nothing he won't do for family. Including trying to stifle his desire for Sable. He needs to convince her to accept the contract, but he'd rather wrangle the sexy, headstrong, boot-wearing, tough-talking musician into his bed.

 

Loyalties are tested, lies are told, and greedy pleasures are satisfied. Are they just a chorus between chaotic verses, or will falling for Mr. Bad be Sable's greatest love song?

Momma always told me that my sins would find me. I just didn’t think it would happen in a biker bar with my first crush bursting through the doors with his gun pointed at me. Well, not technically at me, but at my boyfriend- also known as my current sin. He was the thing I hoped the good Lord didn’t tell momma about in one of her dreams. Guess it didn’t matter anyway. I was caught and in a bigger mess than I could have imagined.

Micah Abe hadn’t laid eyes on Dolly Dixon, his younger sister’s best friend, in years, but her eyes were the kind you didn’t forget. Even if she’d grown into a woman with a body made for sin, he had recognized that unique shade of amber the moment she had locked her gaze on him. Damn shame he wouldn’t get a taste of her. His sister would cut off his favorite body part if he even considered it. Besides, he was over clingy women, and the way Dolly was holding on to his enemy like she wanted to wrap her legs around him meant she was the needy type.

Problem was he had to save her from herself. Clearly, Dolly was still clueless about life. That much hadn’t changed about her. He’d come here to get back what had been taken from him five years ago, but it looked like he’d be saving Snow White in the process.

Devil's Mistress.
Evil's whore.

Kidnapped. Abducted.

I’ve been taken away to a private island that’s home to the rich and elite.

Something sinister and perverse lurks just beneath the opulence.

It watches every breath I take and notes each move I make, ensuring that the purpose in which I’m here is never forgotten.

There’s a hierarchy amongst the natives and I am now the exclusive possession of ‘Diabolus’, a gorgeous man that is esteemed as the devil.

His wishes are simple to understand, but obediently giving in to his demands goes against every ounce of human decency and morality I possess.

As we spiral down a path of depravity that leads to the darkest depths of hell, I must decide how I want this to end.

Captor and captive.
Life or death.

Do I become what he needs, or do I risk it all just to die by his hand?

TITLE: Evading the Enforcer

SERIES: Charleston Coyotes #5

AUTHOR: Jacob Chance

GENRE: Contemporary Hockey Romance

TROPES: Enemies to Lovers/Fake Engagement

RELEASE DATE: February 7, 2024

BLURB.

My peaceful existence gets body-checked when a brooding, grumpy hockey player moves in next door…

The first time I meet Niall O’Rourke, he greets me, wearing little more than a scowl and a demeanor colder than the ice he skates on. My deeply ingrained Southern manners force me to give him the benefit of the doubt, but every interaction we share convinces me he’s a grade-A jerk.

I do my best to avoid him, that is, until he makes a proposition too good to refuse: I pretend to be his fiancée, and in return, he’ll appear on my local television show, which could give Bigfoot’s Hairy Tale the ratings bump needed for national syndication.

Despite our personalities clashing like hockey sticks, I discover beneath his brawny exterior is a man burdened by a complex past and a wounded heart.

But I’m not interested in “fixing” him. I’ve been down that road before, and it never ends well. If only Niall weren’t so hellbent on using his lips to convince me otherwise.

It’s going to take everything in me to evade the enforcer.

[Release Blitz + Review] Turn of the Tides by Jessica Prince

GENRE/TROPES: Contemporary Romance; Small Town Romance

When Beau Wade left his small hometown of Whitecap, Oregon, he swore to himself he’d never go back. But when his NFL career goes up in smoke, that’s exactly what he finds himself doing.

Not much has changed in the ten years he’s been gone. Gossip still spreads through town like wildfire, Dropped Anchor is still the local’s favorite bar, and the woman he’s been secretly in love with most of his life still hates his guts.

Presley Fields is even more beautiful than he remembered. Her smile has the power to light up a room and that bubbly personality of hers is still as strong as ever. For everyone but Beau, anyway, and that’s the least he deserves for making her high school years a nightmare.

He isn’t the same stupid kid he was back then, and after watching her slip through his fingers too many times, the tides have finally turned in his favor. It’ll take a miracle, and every ounce of charm he has, but he’s determined to win her heart. And this time, he intends to keep it.

**Whitecap is a series of interconnected, standalone, small town romances.**
