WORTH THE FIGHT by Liz Durano – Featured New Release

WORTH THE FIGHT

LIZ DURANO


When the woman you’ve loved for years walks back into your life with a ticking biological clock…

Six years ago, Cassie Reynolds was my Harvard mentor—the brilliant woman who taught me everything about business and left me wanting more than professional guidance. Now she’s back as Pierce Enterprises’ Chief Compliance Officer, hired to ensure I don’t make mistakes as the company’s newly appointed CEO.

There’s just one problem: I never stopped thinking about her.

When I discover she’s planning single motherhood through a fertility clinic because she thinks time’s running out, every instinct I have—shaped by Filipino family values that prioritize community over independence—tells me she shouldn’t face this alone.

I could keep my distance. Let her pursue her clinical solution while I focus on proving myself as CEO. Stay safely within professional boundaries while she builds the family she’s always wanted.

Or I could fight for what we could have together.

A partnership. A family. A future where neither of us has to face life’s biggest challenges alone.

The board already questions whether I’m ready to lead. Getting involved with my Chief Compliance Officer could cost me everything I’ve worked for. But watching Cassie plan for single motherhood when I could give her so much more? That’s a risk I can’t ignore.

Some things are worth fighting for—even when the odds are stacked against you. Even when loving her could destroy my career. Even when she’s convinced our nine-year age gap and professional complications make us impossible.

Especially then.

Because the biggest risk isn’t falling in love with the woman I’m not supposed to want.

It’s letting her walk away when we could build something extraordinary together.

ALANNAH ROBERTS – Featured Author


Alannah Roberts—wifey, mum to one beautiful baby girl, fur mum to a battalion of Pomeranians, corporate baddie by day, and aspiring author by night (fueled by crispy Coke Zeros and occasionally questionable decisions).

Alannah lives in Australia, but she was born and partially raised in the Philippines. Books have been her escape, her comfort, and her obsession for as long as she can remember. She has cried, laughed, and screamed her way through stories that left a mark on her soul—and now, she dreams of writing ones that do the same.

She started writing Collide back in 2012, but fear and doubt turned it into a secret side project. After surviving an ectopic pregnancy that nearly took her life, Alannah made a promise to herself—and to her daughter—to stop playing small. To chase her dreams. To be brave.

One day, Alannah hopes to live on a little farm, surrounded by books, her family, and her fur babies, writing stories that make people feel something—every day until the end of her days.

COLLIDE: The Rhapsody of Heartbeats Book 1
One city. Two hearts. And a collision that changes everything

Elena Montgomery returns to New York with nothing but a guitar and a promise to keep. Her family’s name carries weight, but after a bitter divorce shattered her childhood, it’s not legacy she’s chasing—it’s freedom.

Then she meets him. The charming, mysterious stranger who crashes into her life and awakens a part of her she’s kept hidden. The chemistry is explosive. The connection? Addictive. But fame, secrets, and the ghosts of their pasts threaten to tear it all apart.

As the pressure builds and the spotlight grows harsher, Elena is forced to choose: chase the life she’s always wanted or risk everything for the kind of love that burns too hot to last.

Collide is a seductive, emotional rollercoaster about passion, fame, family, and the fierce journey to finding your voice—even when your heart is on the line.

For two Type A workaholics, navigating a three-month fake relationship should be no problem. But as they blur the line between pretend and real, deadly violence erupts around them. Someone is out to destroy them…

As co-owner of The Spotted Dog, Jake Alvarez is an admitted workaholic. Along with his duties at the Seattle Irish pub, he runs Alvarez Technologies, a wildly successful mobile gaming company. With the ghosts of his past lingering, his hectic schedule is the perfect excuse to keep romantic relationships at the very bottom of his priority list.

After a three-year absence, Carmen Cunningham has returned to Seattle to lead her family’s nonprofit organization. With her polished facade in place, she’s determined to focus on work, and not the matchmaking busy bodies constantly reminding her of her age. And her three failed marriages.

A fake relationship between the two friends is the perfect solution. Until their playful flirting becomes more. As the secrets they’ve been hiding begin to surface, someone is watching. Someone intent on destroying them…

I always enjoy meeting new-to-me romance authors when I attend book signing events. It’s extra special when the author is a fellow Filipina American like Christina. 

The continued growth of our writing community brings me great happiness. Stories of Filipino love and joy need to be told. The more of us sharing aspirational and uplifting tales, the better.   

I’m hoping to see Christina again in future book events and read more of her stories that highlight Filipino lead characters.

THE EYE OF THE STORM

BLURB

Cassie Hawthorne never planned to come back to Freedom, Montana. But after a humiliating betrayal and a life that’s crumbled beneath her feet, the quiet town she once called home is the only place left to run. Haunted by memories of her childhood, and the boy who shattered her heart, Cassie returns to rebuild her life-one step, one breath, one guarded heartbeat at a time.

Trenton Delsey never forgot the girl who got away. He buried his regrets beneath ranch work, family responsibilities, and the toxic relationship he never had the strength to escape. But when Cassie walks back into town, Trenton’s carefully constructed world begins to crack, and long-buried secrets start to rise.

Drawn together by old feelings and unresolved pain, Cassie and Trenton find themselves navigating the wreckage of their past. But their reunion is more than just emotional-it’s dangerous. Because beneath the surface of Freedom lies a tangled mystery involving the disappearance of billionaire Evan Ransom… and someone will do anything to keep the truth hidden.

As Cassie is pulled into the heart of the investigation-and into the crosshairs of a manipulative woman with everything to lose-Trenton must confront the darkest night of his life: a car crash, a cover-up, and the guilt that’s been eating away at him ever since. What Brenda Walsh knows could destroy him. But what Trenton finally remembers could save them both.

With the help of his fiercely loyal family-including his brother Alex, a U.S. Marshal with his own secrets-Trenton fights for redemption, while Cassie fights for freedom from a past that’s always had a hold on her. Together, they’ll discover that love is not the absence of storms, but the place you find shelter in the middle of one.

Gripping, romantic, and emotionally rawThe Eye of the Storm is a sweeping small-town love story where danger lurks behind every secret-and healing comes at the cost of the truth.

THE END GAME by Michael Scott Clifton – LSLL Book Campaign

THE END GAME

By Michael Scott Clifton

Contemporary Sports Romance

Publisher: Independently Published

Publication Date: August 8, 2025

SYNOPSIS

Eager to put his past behind him, Chris Cooper takes the head basketball job at Mayfield High School in Northeast Texas. Haunted by a history of rocky relationships, he’s surprised by the sparks his landlady, single mom, Jennie Sloan, ignites in him.  

Despite trust issues from her own tumultuous past, something about the tall coach with emerald-green eyes makes Jennie believe in second chances. When her young son bonds with Cooper, the barriers Jennie built around her heart begin to crumble.

Excited about the raw potential of his team, Cooper is blindsided by Rocco Rawlings, the arrogant Head Football Coach and Athletic Director. The AD demands Cooper’s entire team play football. When Cooper refuses, Rawlings works to undermine the basketball program, and Cooper is forced to find inventive ways to succeed.

As the stakes rise on and off the court, Cooper and Jennie must contend with the demons of their past to protect the fragile flame they’ve lit, while Cooper’s scrappy team—fueled by grit, heart and a shared dream—might just defy the odds and reach the ultimate end game.

A state championship.

REVIEW

Texas-style Hoosiers meets a Hallmark movie, in book form. With its small-town, underdog-basketball-team-goes-to-the-state-championship feel-good story, paired with a sweet romance, The End Game checks all my boxes for an incredibly satisfying read. 

… our lives aren’t blank pages in a book … We can’t skip the parts we don’t like and flip ahead to the parts we do.”

Michael Scott Clifton’s writing shows a cinematic quality that makes his work a great candidate for film adaptation. His deft use of classic storytelling elements—characters, setting, back story, conflict, and action—yielded a book that a wide range of readers would find engaging.  Sports, romance, drama, faith. There’s something in it for everyone to enjoy.

From the first dribble of the ball, always look where you’re going, not where you’ve been.”

The large cast of characters includes a sympathetic hero in basketball coach Chris Cooper, a fascinating love-interest in Jennie, an obstructive antagonist in Rawlings, a wise mentor in Julius, and a wonderful group of young athletes who are easy to root for.  The romance between Cooper and Jennie, although fast-paced, was seamlessly integrated into the story and enhanced the overall theme rather than distracting from it. Jennie and her son Josh were essential parts of Cooper’s personal endgame. 

Individual players don’t win games. Teams do.”

The basketball scenes are where this book shines the most. Mr. Clifton’s descriptions of the players’ moves in the games and Cooper’s strategic coaching instructions made the book come alive. There were several heart-in-throat moments as well as fist-pump celebrations. It was as if I was watching the action on TV without the added cursing-at-the-referees part of the normal viewing experience. 

In essence, The End Game is a slam dunk of a story.  Swish.

THE REYES SIBLINGS SERIES

Book 1: The Off-Chance of Me and You

He’s an athlete at the top of his game, and she’s the girl he left behind. Now he’s asking for a second chance, but this time, she’s calling the shots.

Tala Reyes lives life dancing to a breathless beat. With two full-time jobs and a family to support, she has no time to dwell on what-ifs: What if her grandmother never got sick? What if she never left Manila? And definitely not what if Jason Meyer hadn’t ghosted her in college?

The world knows Jason as the NBA golden boy, but to Tala, he was her first friend in the US—and her first taste of heartbreak. So when he shows up in town, she reminds herself not to cave to his overdue apology and superstar charm. She has more than enough to worry about, especially when she discovers her work visa is on the line.

Despite her doubts, he’s determined to make up for his absence. Tala wonders: what if she gave this thing between them a chance?

They’re from different worlds, and their futures have never been more uncertain. But it’s just for the summer, right? No big deal.

Famous last words.

 

The Off-Chance of Me and You is a second-chance, ex-friends-to-lovers romance with a slow burn and a dash of spice. This is the first standalone novel in the Reyes Siblings series.

Book 2: The Odds of Happily Ever After

All bets are off when Little Miss Sunshine and her sister’s grumpy best friend learn to play nice.

Luna Reyes moved to the US with a dream: to prove herself to her family. After her older sister returns to Manila, Luna is determined to get through college on her own, despite her parents’ doubts and her insecurities. She doesn’t need a keeper—especially not her sister’s best friend. Not when he’s been a jerk to her since they met.

Gabe Martins has one goal: to build a stable life for himself. He has no patience for relationships—except when it comes to his best (and only) friend. So even though he wants nothing to do with Luna, he considers it his duty to check in on her. Sterling’s too small a town not to run into her anyway.

One text turns into a phone call, and soon, they’re going on a road trip without killing each other. It turns out he’s got a sweet side she always wanted, and she’s the bright spot he never thought he needed.

But with their goals at stake, will they go all in for a chance at happily ever after?

 

The Odds of Happily Ever After is a dislike-to-friends-to-lovers contemporary romance with a simmering slow burn and a dash of spice. It is the second novel in the Reyes Siblings series but can be read as a standalone.

Book 3: The Fallacy of True Love (releasing on August 12, 2025)

The city boy with a promising future meets the beach town girl with a troubled past in this unlikely romance.

Alonzo Reyes has everything going for him: a close-knit family, a scholarship to law school, and his dream girlfriend. He’s golden…or so it seems. In reality, he’s floundering on the brink of that dreaded f-word. Failure.

After a revelation pushes him over the edge, he escapes to the waves of La Union and crashes right into the town’s resident grumpy surfer.

Cam Cruz has no blood ties, no college degree, and no boyfriend. But she loves her life near the sea with friends who feel like family. All she needs is a stable job—not an annoyingly attractive boy from Manila messing up her flow.

Alonzo can’t help being intrigued by the one girl he can’t seem to charm, and no matter how many times Cam says goodbye, fate has other plans. When their paths cross again, they learn that there’s more to each other than meets the eye. Judgments are questioned, emotions are compromised, and soon, their beliefs about love are put to the test.

Can they overcome their differences for the chance at an epic ride, or will they play it safe and stick to solid ground? 

 

The Fallacy of True Love is a strangers-to-lovers contemporary romance with angst and spice. It is the last book in the Reyes Siblings series but can be read as a standalone.

AKS 2

My boss is the stiff, surly, suited city bureaucrat… and I’m the new teacher of his nightmares.

I’m desperate for a fresh start at a new school. Lucky for me, Oliver Flores, the infuriatingly hot principal of PS 2, is desperate for a new teacher.

He’s forced to hire the Sweaty Albeit Beautiful Trash Siren he found amongst the dumpsters (I had a morning, okay?). I’m forced to take the job.

He’s all label makers and lists. I’m all creativity and chaos.

He needs to loosen up. I need to tighten up.

He demands control. I need freedom.

For right now, I have no choice but to follow my boss’s every explicit directive and not make any waves. No drama llamas. Because he needs his promotion. And I need to keep this job.

But what happens when Mr. Flores’s orders go from “send me your lesson plans” to “see me after school”? What happens when they go from “take it out” to “let me in”?

For the sake of both of our jobs, we’ll need to keep this a secret. It’s a terrible idea … but I might just love it when Oliver orders me around.


Beyond the Bell is the first book in the Lessons in Love series and can be read as a total standalone. It’s for fans of high heat romantic comedies, and features a grumpy boss and his sunshine employee, a fresh start, a secret relationship, BIPOC representation, found family, and tons of spice.

I should’ve said no. But it’s Mia—my Mia. She’s tired of being a wallflower, and I’m the perfect guy to give her advice.

I shouldn’t know how many freckles she has on her stomach, or love the way she fits in my arms.
 
But what definitely shouldn’t happen? The dude she’s known her whole life—the one who was just supposed to help—should not want to spend the rest of his life doing it.
 
Mia’s brother might break my face, but Mia? She might break my heart.

For Serenity Brooks, fanfiction wasn’t just a hobby—it was her escape, her passion, her lifeline. Until Duvall K. Howard, the man she loved, shattered her heart and stole her inspiration in one fell swoop. Now, Duvall’s back, crashing into her life with a life altering secret. The news reignites not only Serenity’s dormant passion for writing but also the burning embers of her anger. The past is back, and she’s not forgiving.

Enter Ezra Sullivan, the witty, charming friend she lost along the way—the one man who truly understands the sting of Duvall’s betrayal. He was Duvall’s roommate, rival, and always second best, and now he’s Serenity’s partner in crime. Together, they’re plotting the ultimate literary takedown, a campaign of creative vengeance that will take them through the chaotic world of conventions, awkward signings, and the constant scrutiny of overbearing parents and relentless relatives.

But as Serenity and Ezra navigate the minefield of their shared past and their complicated present, the lines between friendship, revenge, and something undeniably, irresistibly hotter begin to blur. What starts as a strategic alliance—a fake romance for revenge—evolves into something neither of them anticipated as their connection deepens. Will their quest for payback against Duvall lead them to something more with each other, or will their staged romance threaten to derail their plans and break their hearts all over again?
