ABOUT THE BOOK.

He’s younger. Richer. Hot AF. And about to learn how to beg.

When Xander Stone proposed to marry me and save my business, I wanted to refuse. I should have.

He’s younger.

Filthy rich.

Entitled.

Trouble in every single way… but desperation won and I took his deal.

It’s supposed to be a fake marriage. A business transaction.

The challenge is the raw attraction, the burning heat, the all-consuming pull.

The man is good. Too good. He makes me feel like I matter. He teaches me to respect myself—but his love language is manipulation.

And the biggest problem with our deal is that Xander Stone never intended to keep it.

Instead, right from the start, he intended to keep me… even if I’m the one who tries to walk away.

A Tainted Proposal is a standalone book in the Merged series with a guaranteed, though hard-earned HEA.

ABOUT THE BOOK.

He’s the bad boy my family warned me about—and the one man I can’t have.

Especially not tattooed billionaire and reformed troublemaker Lucas Carras. He exudes alpha-hero intensity, but he’s been off limits for as long as I’ve known him.

Oakley didn't plan on returning to her hometown or reconnecting with the man she left behind. Yet as she rebuilds her life, she can't ignore the quiet strength and unwavering support Silas offers. Even as shadows from the past threaten their newfound peace.

When danger arrives at their doorstep, Silas and Oakley must decide if they're ready to trust again. In hockey and in life, sometimes the most meaningful moments come during the second shift.

TROPES.

Forced Proximity

Workplace Romance

Opposites Attract

Fake Dating/PR Relationship

Protective MMC

Grumpy Sunshine

BLURB.

They're faking it for the cameras. But what if the sparks are real? 

Graydon St. John doesn't do drama―or public appearances. The brooding defensive end for the San Francisco Foghorns prefers silence, solitude, and avoiding headlines. But when a league-wide PR scandal forces him into a media stunt at the city zoo, he's suddenly face-to-face with squawking birds, nosy fans, and the zookeeper who seems to hate his guts on sight.

Maple Baker loves her flamingos. Loud, pink, messy? Sure. But they're hers. And the last thing she needs is a grumpy football player stomping into her sanctuary with a bad attitude and a bigger ego. Unfortunately, they've been paired for the zoo's new public outreach program, and the cameras are already rolling.

The banter is sharp. The tension is electric. And the more they pretend to play nice for the press, the more their fake flirtation starts to feel like something dangerously real.

But when family secrets, viral fame, and a PR romance gone off-script threaten everything Maple's worked for, Graydon must decide if he's willing to fight for love―or let it slip away to protect her.

[Release Blitz + Review] His in the Fire by Willow Winters

💜💜NEW RELEASE 💜💜

He’d Burn the World for Her. HIS IN THE FIRE by Willow Winters is LIVE!!

ABOUT THE BOOK.

From USA Today Bestselling Author Willow Winters comes the second part in the sizzling Hades & Persephone Duet.

Ripped away from Olympus to the Underworld was a hell of its own making, but so is returning.

Leaving behind Hades and my rightful place as Queen of the Underworld caused an agony I’ve never known before.

What’s worse is that the war has not come to an end and my place in Olympus is questioned by all because of Hades’ demands. My mother will stop at nothing to have me safe with her and neither will Hades.

I’m left torn between life, Olympus, my mother and the throne I was always meant to have beside my lover, the King of the Dead.

I miss him dearly, I crave his touch and I need the love I felt so strongly in his presence.

What brings me the most fear though, is my own thoughts and my own power. The threat of losing what I had is enough to make me question my sanity. My mother would starve the world for me, Hades would burn it. But myself… What I’m willing to do as the suffering intensifies is blasphemy and terrifies me to my core.

There’s no going back and in this place I must find peace and balance before it’s too late.

I know one thing for certain: after dark, there will always be light. If that wasn’t true, the dark would not have a name…

And I crave both.

Please note: His in the Dark must be read first.

MY REVIEW.

4 Stars from Tiffany!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fighting for Forever

In this second book of the duology, we pick up right where we left off in His in the Dark, and honestly? I was hooked immediately. Persephone and Hades join forces ready to fight. The tension, the passion, the loyalty, it’s all there, and it only gets stronger as the story continues.

Persephone is still caught between two worlds, and you can really feel the weight of everything she’s dealing with. She’s torn between what’s expected of her and what she truly wants. And of course, her family has plenty of opinions about it, which just adds to the pressure. But Persephone isn’t the same person she was before she’s growing into her own power and learning to stand her ground, even when it’s hard.

And when it comes to Hades? Her heart already knows the answer. The connection between them feels completely unbreakable. Their bond is intense in the best way, and you can tell this isn’t just some temporary romance, it’s deeper than that. Persephone is fighting for them, for the love they share, and for the future she wants, no matter who tries to stand in her way.

The book is once again beautifully written and checks all of the boxes for a retelling. His in the Fire wraps up the series nicely.

MEET WILLOW WINTERS.

I started writing after having my little girl, Evie, December of 2015. All during my pregnancy with her I read. I only wanted to read romance novels and I read everything I could get my hands on. I would read a book a day — sometimes two. In January I was staying up late with her and just thinking of all these stories. They came to me constantly. I finally sat down and just started writing. I always wanted to do it so I figured, why not?

I never thought I would reach this point of success to be honest. It’s insane to me that I have connected with so many readers.

And I love each and every one of them for all of their support. I’ll be honest, some days are HARD. I have my littles during the day and I write at night. Some days are just simply exhausting and then I hear from a reader and it motivates me to push through and keep writing.  I couldn’t be more grateful for this wonderful career.

[Release Blitz + Review] Intercepted by Aleatha Romig

He lost her once. This time, he’s playing to win. INTERCEPTED Aleatha Romig is now available!

ABOUT THE BOOK.

In The Coopers, family power meets forbidden passion, and one wrong move can cost you the team… or your heart. Perfect for fans of the ruthless tension of Succession and the dark, aching obsession of Wuthering Heights.

At thirty-six, Fin Graham is a legend, a veteran quarterback, dangerously handsome, and built to win. The field. The season. Me.

I never thought I’d see him again, not after he disappeared and shattered me without a word. But now he’s been traded onto my family’s team, the Lexington Coopers—my turf, my legacy, and the one place I swore he’d never touch.

No one knows our past.

No one knows how hard I loved him… or how deep the betrayal cut.

And if I have any sway with the team’s owner—my father—Fin’s contract will be the shortest in franchise history.

But the problem with old heartbreaks?

They remember how to start beating again.

Fin wants a second chance.

I want revenge… or maybe I just want him.

And the time clock is almost out.

With the future of the Lexington Coopers on the line, we have to decide if we’re working together or against one another.

From the bestselling author of Infidelity and Sin comes a scorching, high-stakes romantic suspense series set in the seductive, cutthroat world of the NFL. The Coopers is a four-book saga following one explosive couple. INTERCEPTED ends on a cliffhanger—an unforgettable Aleatha blindside.

[Release Blitz + Review] Real Good Man by Giulia Lagomarsino

TITLE: Real Good Man

SERIES: The Last Best Place for Love Book #2

AUTHOR: Giulia Lagomarsino

GENRE/TROPES: Small Town; Enemies-to-Lovers; Opposites Attract; Dark Secrets; Grumpy/Sunshine; Next-Door Neighbors and Emotionally Unavailable

RELEASE DATE: January 26, 2026

In a small town where secrets last five minutes, privacy is a myth, and gossip lasts forever, this might have been the worst possible place to settle.

After my last job fell apart and burned my reputation, I followed Archer to this small town in Nowhere, Montana.

I had no intention of staying longer than the night, but circumstances took a turn for the worse when not only was there not an immediate solution to my job problem, but the only places to stay were the local roach motel or a bed and breakfast with flowery bedspreads and potpourri in every room.

But then I happened to help out a Parker, which apparently meant something in this town.

Not only did I land myself a house rental for as long as I needed, but I ended up with a neighbor who insisted on feeding a stray dog on my property, convinced he was mine.

And as much as I fought it, I found myself sort of liking the damn dog.

Not that I would ever admit that.

But the dog wasn’t the only unexpected addition to my daily life.

It seemed the more I tried to ignore my neighbor—her perky personality, the weird tea concoctions, and her ability to make me want her even when she annoyed me—the more I found myself intertwined in her life.

And that might just get her killed.

4 Stars from Renee!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 I was pulled right into this story.

This is Josie and JR's story. JR came to this town to be near his friend. What he ends up with is a job at a pub and a rental house next to a crazy lady. Josie is funny and has a great time making JR laugh. She thinks and believes that the dog hanging around JR is his. But he is worried about the danger that seems to surround her. Can he save her? She is getting past all his defenses but can her harmless fun turn into a future? What about the danger can he keep her safe? Or will he lose her to the danger?

I recommend this book.

I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
