Ryan
Some might say I’m running away. I prefer to look at it as an extended vacation, from social media, the paparazzi, and my very public life back in Los Angeles.
That’s why I rented a small cabin in the woods in Nowhere, Wisconsin. I needed an escape and time to lick my wounds from a breakup. What I wasn’t expecting was Marcus Wright, the most frustrating man on the face of the planet, to be right next door. Our chemistry is undeniable, and it doesn’t take long to realize a summer fling is just what the doctor ordered.
Our time has a deadline though, and at the end of a month, I’m going back home to Los Angeles. Problem is, despite Marcus’s grumpy demeanor, I’m not sure I want to.

Marcus
My days, and some of my nights, are spent working on vehicles in my shop. Working and living in my hometown of Pine Village is where I’m comfortable, where I belong.
My quiet little world is disrupted the day Ryan Marcotte rolls into town in her high heels and designer clothes. She’s the exact opposite of me, a spoiled rich girl who pushes my buttons like no other. She’s famous, has her own TV show, and is only here for a short time. I’m also wildly attracted to her. I try to fight it, but the pull is too strong. So when she suggests a little no-strings fun, I’m all in.
Unfortunately, our private bubble is popped the moment fans discover her location. All good things must come to an end. I just wasn’t expecting my heart to be so invested.

Belmira Tavares is a good girl. She doesn’t get into trouble or sleep around. She follows all of her mother’s rules, even the cruel ones. But everybody makes mistakes. Even careful, obedient Belmira.

Her mistake is named Felix Ferreira. He’s handsome and charming and enough of a playboy that her mother will never approve. It was only supposed to be one night, one little rebellion before she resigned herself to living a life dictated by her mother.

But Felix wants more. He might want forever.

If Belmira is ever going to build a life free from her mother’s control, she’ll have to stop choosing the safe bet and choose herself instead.

SAFE BET is the first installment in an angsty, slow burn trilogy about two people who are perfect for each other—if only they can get the timing right.

EXCERPT

“Have you seen Titanic yet?” I’d already watched it once a couple of weeks ago. Alone. Cried like a f-cking baby at the end. I thought I could keep it together the second time around. I mean, I hoped I could. Maybe.
“No. I don’t…” Belmira sagged. Sh-t. What did I do now? “I don’t get out much.”
“Did you want to go tomorrow?”
She flushed, her mouth opening and closing. “I can’t.”
“Monday, then?”
“Felix.” She attempted to wrench her hand gently from mine, but I held on, foiling her retreat. Flustered, her cheeks flushed. “I meant what I said.”
“You said nothing serious,” I pointed out. “A movie is about as non-serious as it gets. You don’t even have to talk to me. It’s a win-win.” Plus, she didn’t have to worry about me making a move on her. When I went to the movies, I was there to watch the movie. What happened after the ending credits was a whole other story.
“It sounds like a date,” she whispered, treading back another step to create distance. Strangely, despite the space, she held onto my hand a little tighter.
She didn’t want to let go.
Her words said one thing, but her actions said another. What was she really so afraid of?
“It can be whatever you want it to be,” I said.
She fell silent, hesitation establishing a slight tic in her jaw. “Is this how it is? I give you an inch and you take a mile?”
“Tell me you don’t want to see a movie with me.”
“I don’t want to see a movie with you,” she deadpanned, but the right side of her mouth twitched.
I smirked. “It’s cute when you lie.”
Belmira broke eye contact. “Why Titanic?”
“As opposed to?”
“I dunno.” She shrugged. “What about the new one, uhm… you know…” She motioned with a bobbing, closed fist, in what I imagined was supposed to mimic a stabbing gesture, but unfortunately, it looked closer to how I thought she’d—I swallowed tightly, forcing myself to concentrate on her face.
Bashful, she blew air up into her bangs. “The one with the guy in the white mask that looks like a ghost.”
If I hadn’t been so keyed up, because apparently, I was fifteen again, I would have caught on sooner. “Scream 2?” Her head sloped to the right with a 'maybe?' in her eyes. “Have you seen the first one?”
Belmira shook her head. “No.”
“Do you like slasher movies?”
“I have no idea.” Her nose wrinkled again. “I’ve never watched one.”
That cleared the fog away. How sheltered of a life had she led? “What do you mean?” Not a single slasher movie? Felicity and I were practically raised on a weekly trip to Blockbuster and Hollywood Video to keep us out of trouble over the weekend.
“Like I said…” Belmira observed the bartender while I studied her. “I don’t get out much.”

Series: Nightshades #2
Authors: Roselyn Ash & Sasha Leone
Genre: Dark Mafia Romance
Tropes: Stalker/Marriage of Convenience
Attraction to Hate to Love
Release Date: April 22, 2025


BLURB

Only the devil can save me from hell. I just have to marry him first.

Michael Hart is sin in a suit: dark blond curls, icy blue eyes, and tattoos etched in secrets. By day, he’s a billionaire tech mogul. By night, a mafia king.

Our paths were never meant to cross—until I’m promised to one of his brutal underbosses. Obviously, I run. Guess who tracks me down?

The devil himself.

I expect punishment. Pain. A cage. Instead, I’m offered a way out: marry Michael and live under his protection. Safe. Untouchable.

It’s a lie, of course. Nothing about him is safe. One night is enough to see the truth. He doesn’t want to protect me. He wants to own me. Worship me. Break me.

And if I’m not careful… I might let him.

Devil’s Tulip is a standalone, dual pov dark mafia romance featuring a possessive, ‘touch her & I’ll unalive you’ type anti-hero and a feisty, smart heroine. No OW drama, no cliffhanger, and a hard-won HEA.

Lizzy—
When did my life come to this?
Everything was going so right. I had a job I liked, a cute little house and a great marriage to my high school sweetheart. Matt was my everything—my firefighting hero—until tragedy struck. Now suddenly I'm a widow drowning in grief and about to lose everything.
One terrible day sent my whole world spinning.
If it wasn't for my good friend, Kate I would have gone under. She pulled me out of my deep depression and found me a new job to take my mind off everything.
I'm thankful to her until I find out my new boss is the VP of the Royal Bastards MC.
Has she lost her frigging mind?

Darko—
When a son I didn't know I had, is abruptly dropped in my lap, my whole world is upended. He’s a teenager, pissed at the world, and dealing with crushing grief. Suddenly I’m struggling to deal with him and my busy auto restoration business.
When I tell Utah I need someone to answer the phones and keep up with the paperwork, his ol' lady delivers me her best friend.
I remember Lizzie. She was always the bubbly girlie-girl, so full of life. But that's not the devastated, barely speaking woman who walks in my shop. Lizzie had the life she deserved. Now she’s destroyed. And on top of that, what does she know about working in a garage or dealing with a man like me—a member of the Royal Bastards MC?
Not to mention the fact that she’s half my age and distracting as hell.
How in the world does Kate expect us to help each other?

Pre-order Blitz - Red Hot Roaster by Kristin Jeffries



Title: Red Hot Roaster
A Small Town Romance Perfect
for Lovers of Growly Guys and Smouchy Pups
Series: Tales from the Chocolate Lab Café #1
Author: Kristin Jeffries
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Small Town/Meddling Friends & Fur Babies
OTT Protective MMC/Later in Life Love
Release Date: May 2, 2025


BLURB

What happens when an over-protective coffee roaster rubs up against an uber-independent café owner?

Watch the sparks fly in this strangers to friends to lovers romantic comedy.

Red Hot Roaster is a sweet and spicy small town romance featuring meddling fur babies and besties, a blind chocolate-truffle-tasting—clothing optional, holiday hijinks, and all the slow burn to roasting hot feels.

Rose is struggling to keep her café afloat while sad about her mom’s passing and her son leaving for college. Sure, Pirate, her lummox of a Chocolate Lab, keeps her company. Plus, she couldn’t ask for a better found family in her cozy neighborhood of Dogwood. So why is she so drawn to Rafe, her mysterious, muscly—and temporary—coffee roaster?

With her café on the line, Rose doesn’t have time for love. And she’s been burned once too often—she doesn’t trust men to stick around. Will she settle for a no-strings-attached fling or fight for forever love?

Rafe prefers his life as a roaming coffee roaster, going from gig to gig. That way, he’s only responsible for himself and for being a good girl-dad to his dainty rescue dog, Princess. So why can’t he resist trying to help Rose, his gorgeous and sad-eyed new boss, solve all her problems?

After his tough years in the army and his rough youth, Rafe fears he’s not worthy of love. Besides, he’s always been a loner with no home—and no woman—to call his own. Will he leave town with his secrets or stay to claim his true love?

Grab a table at the Chocolate Lab Café, where Dogwood denizens, canine and otherwise, help Rose and Rafe chase their happily-ever-after. And where, even later in life, love can find a way to rescue your heart.

HEA guaranteed. Dual POV. Intended for 18+ readers.

EXCERPT

“Here are your shirts, nice and clean and blood-free.” Rose thrust the bag at me.
I stood frozen for a second before grabbing it. And another second before I pushed out “thanks” from my too-tight throat.
Why was I so surprised? Rose was a woman of her word, and she’d done something nice for me. When you’re on your own, you get used to taking care of yourself, taking care of everything yourself.
So this one time, I should enjoy it. Just don’t get used to it.
“Oh, and I stashed one of our private-label chocolate bars in there too,” she went on. “A new local shop makes them for us. I went pretty vanilla with our rich milk chocolate version since I don’t know what you like. Hope you’re not allergic or anything.”
I opened the bag and looked in. I saw a big-ass chocolate bar sitting on top of my folded—and ironed?—tee and flannel button-down.
What was the woman trying to do here—give me a heart attack? I rubbed the center of my chest where it’d started to ache. Calm down, man. Obviously, it wasn’t a big deal to her, but it was a big fucking deal to me.
This was my first gift since…well, since I was little, real little. So, a big fucking deal.

She’s moving on. He’s running out of time. One reckless night changes everything.

Reece Hunnicutt has spent his life helping others—whether pulling climbers from peril or stringing the town’s Christmas lights. But after walking away from the elite search and rescue squad that gave him purpose, he’s adrift, dodging questions about a future that’s taking him far from home. The one constant? His quiet devotion to his small mountain town and the brothers who don’t yet know he’s leaving.

Town veterinarian Neve Embry has loved Reece since childhood, but she’s done waiting for him to see her as more than a kid sister. Between running her struggling clinic and dating a charming billionaire, she’s ready to move on. But one impulsive night in Vegas changes everything—she wakes up married to Reece. And when her clinic is vandalized, he refuses to walk away until the culprit is caught.

Forced to live under the same roof while trying to untangle their accidental vows, Reece and Neve find their shaky truce cracking under the weight of undeniable chemistry. As danger closes in and secrets surface, they must confront the truth about their desires—and decide if this love can be rescued.
