THE EYE OF THE STORM by Zoey Fox – Featured New Release

THE EYE OF THE STORM

Zoey York


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.

HER BLOODY BETRAYAL by L. G. Hill – Featured New Release

HER BLOODY BETRAYAL

A Why Choose Vampire Romance

by

L. G. Hill


BLURB

When your peaceful community is suddenly teeming with rogue vampires and you have to work with your ex to get rid of them …

As the youngest of three sisters, I’m surprised when our sire, leader of our vampire clan, comes to me first with news of rogues terrorizing the population of our remote Canadian town.
The reason I’m first in the loop? Mason, my first turn and ex-lover, the male who broke my heart.
But of course, Mason is the smartest in his clan and the only one who can help us end this nightmare.
Not even the comforting support of Billy, my loyal second in command, or the grounding presence of Pinch, my human assistant can quell the overall rage that scorches my blood.
Especially after a rogue attacks my dog.
I probably shouldn’t take that out on Mason … but his nearness makes me ache for reasons unrelated to my anger toward him for leaving me.
And I probably shouldn’t take Mason’s fiery torment out on Billy and Pinch either, but here we are …

Her Bloody Betrayal is an MFMM steamy vampire reverse harem with enemies to lovers, found family, and a badass heroine who takes no crap. Swords cross, and the blood and wine flow in this spine-tingling story of love and betrayal.

Content Notes: mentions of past childhood sexual abuse/abandonment trauma; suicide ideation; drug use. The dog doesn’t die. No AI.

EARTH EARLS ARE EASY

Lords of Dystopia Book1

Catherine Stein


BLURB

Earth Earls Are Easy

Even on Mars, opposites attract.

Wyatt Hartford, Earl of Windborne, spends his days running a smuggling operation under the noses of his political enemies. Twenty years prior, Wyatt and three other young, orphaned aristocrats fled war-and weather-ravaged Earth for the Martian city-state of Utopia. Now the four friends—nicknamed the Lords of Dystopia—use their money and influence to champion citizens’ rights and progressive reforms. To the downtrodden, they are leaders. To the noble scions of Queen Victoria’s empire, they are a threat.

Mercenary Nova Pratt likes her assignments—and her life—efficient, tidy, and uncomplicated. Her latest contract ought to be perfect: Find and arrest the smuggler known as the Viper. Lock up the bad guy and save the day. Her target is no hardened criminal, though. He’s a rainbows-and-sunshine chaos gremlin with a mischievous smile and hips that won’t stop swaying to chipper Earth-pop. Nova can’t look away.

Wyatt won’t let a surly, law-abiding merc derail his operation, even if her scowl and sharp commands make his blood run hot. When he uncovers a smuggling scheme far more nefarious than his own, he seizes the opportunity to point Nova at the real villains. It won’t be easy to work as reluctant allies while resisting their inconvenient attraction. But as political games turn deadly, these opposites must trust one another to fight for what’s right—by putting their lives and their hearts on the line.

What do you get when a hot-as-puck hockey-playing polar bear shifter and a sexy cougar shifter elementary school teacher with a frozen heart decide to fake date? A mess.

 Burke

As the first captain of the Atlantic City Devil Birds in the newly formed Paranormal Hockey League, my goal is simple: don’t screw up. Oh, play my best and save up money for the future, too. When my career is over, I plan to take my polar bear shifter self back to Canada, resume my teaching career, find a wife, and have some kids. Not on my to-do list—fall for a sexy cougar shifter who just happens to be my coach’s little sister.

Kendall

I’m fine being single and living my best life here in New Jersey. I have my family and my students. What else do I need? My very brief and disastrous marriage to my sociopathic squirrel-shifter college sweetheart is all the proof I need that I am better off unattached. My family and friends keep trying to fix me up with any guy they find and lately, their focus is on the handsome new captain of my brother’s hockey team.

We decide to play along and fake a relationship to stop the matchmaking. But fake dating soon turns into fake dating with benefits and genuine feelings. Our dreams and goals are taking us in different directions. Can we compromise to make what is supposed to be fake blossom into something real?

Sexy Pucking Polar Bear is a shifter hockey rom-com full of humor, heart, and heat. If you want to laugh, sigh, and swoon, not necessarily in that order, with funny, sexy shifters, this is the book for you!

Pretending to be in love never felt so real.

Noah doesn’t believe in falling in love, and he definitely doesn’t do relationships. But unless he can convince his future boss that his playboy days are over, he’ll lose out on his dream job. When his little sister’s best friend suggests that they pretend to date, it seems like the perfect solution. Or it would be, if she wasn’t the only woman who’d ever made him question his own rules.

Callie doesn’t need anyone else to take care of her, especially not her best friend’s overbearing older brother – even if she has been in love with him since she was twelve years old. Determined to get her mother to stop meddling in her life, a fake relationship with Noah could be the answer to both their problems. But sharing a hotel room for a week wasn’t in the plan, and the more time they spend together, the more it feels like she’s only fooling herself.

Can they face the truth they’ve been denying for years, that love is the exception to every rule?

Undeniable, book 2 in the Love Song series, is a standalone, spicy, forced proximity, fake dating romance with only one bed and a guaranteed HEA.

Ginny B. Moore


BLURB

The Countess and the Casanova

Henry needs no lessons in charm and wants none in art history, but a trip to Italy and a fake marriage teach him to be the man who can win Ellie’s heart.

Traveling to Italy to study art history is a fantasy fulfilled for Ellie, even if the only way to do it is to pretend to be married to her best friend–and notorious rake–Henry.

Widowed at twenty-four, Eleanor’s life lacks purpose and direction, the only bright spot being her annual Christmas visits with her dear friend Henry, the secret object of her affection. After her miserable marriage comes to a merciful end, she turns to him to find the adventure missing in her life. Posing as husband and wife will allow them to travel without causing a scandal, but when she raises the stakes by asking him to teach her how to be a good lover, she opens her guarded heart to be broken again.

Henry is London’s favorite idle nobleman and walking scandal, but few know the secret torment he carries in his soul. Helping Ellie travel to Italy raises his spirits for the first time in years, but comes at a cost–he will have to confront the shameful secret in their shared past and the terrible decision that may tear them apart.

Will Ellie and Henry find the love they are looking for in each other, or will their damaged pasts destroy their future?

The Countess and the Casanova is a steamy, open-door romance, perfect for lovers of witty banter, road trips, and the love that exists between best friends.

ABOUT GINNY

Ginny MooreGinny was the kid who loved kissing scenes in movies and always rooted for Mulder and Scully to hook up. Her first piece of writing, a horrendous fanfic romance based on The Three Musketeers when she was thirteen, will never see the light of day.

To pay the bills, she is a middle school assistant principal and has been in education for fifteen years. She has earned two master’s degrees, one in secondary education and another in school leadership. Most of her writing is done on her phone or in the parking lot of her kids’ extracurricular activities.

He returned to New York with more muscles, more money, and a taste for revenge…

Robert Donovan left New York as a broken-hearted boy. To avoid scandal ruining his older brother’s engagement, Robert was packed up and sent out West to live with his uncle. He spent his time there wisely, growing into his good looks and gathering money at the card tables. His plan was to return to New York a most desirable man, to catch the eye of the woman he had loved all his life and who hadn’t returned the feelings. Then he could turn the tables on her and make her feel the kind of loss he suffered.

Becca O’Hare had grown up with all three of the Donovan brothers, but it was the middle son Brandon who stole her heart. He left shortly after announcing their engagement, to pursue a lead for the family business, and never returned. Now, five years later, her family is pressuring her to move on and find another suitable husband. She can’t help but notice how much Robert has changed. From his muscled body in a suit to his fancy hotel business, he has become the type of man any woman would want.

Can Becca let go of her guilt and let her heart fall for the new man Robert has become? Will Robert go through with his plans for revenge if she does? Or can the two of them find a new future together?

BLURB

world_running_down_mini_jacket_2

A transgender salvager on the outskirts of a dystopian Utah gets the chance to earn the ultimate score and maybe even a dash of romance. But there’s no such thing as a free lunch…
–––

Valentine Weis is a salvager in the future wastelands of Utah. Wrestling with body dysphoria, he dreams of earning enough money to afford citizenship in Salt Lake City – a utopia where the testosterone and surgery he needs to transition is free, the food is plentiful, and folk are much less likely to be shot full of arrows by salt pirates. But earning that kind of money is a pipe dream, until he meets the exceptionally handsome Osric.

Once a powerful AI in Salt Lake City, Osric has been forced into an android body against his will and sent into the wasteland to offer Valentine a job on behalf of his new employer – an escort service seeking to retrieve their stolen androids. The reward is a visa into the city, and a chance at the life Valentine’s always dreamed of. But as they attempt to recover the “merchandise”, they encounter a problem: the android ladies are becoming self-aware, and have no interest in returning to their old lives.

The prize is tempting, but carrying out the job would go against everything Valentine stands for, and would threaten the fragile found family that’s kept him alive so far. He’ll need to decide whether to risk his own dream in order to give the AI a chance to live theirs.
