Release Blitz - Oil & Water by Indie Sparks

Title: Oil & Water

A Brother's Best Friend Romance

Author: Indie Sparks

Genre: Steamy Romantic Comedy

Trope: Brother's Best Friend

Release Date: December 26, 2024

BLURB

It’s not like I intended to get naked at the rehearsal dinner for my brother’s wedding.

In the parking lot.

With his best friend.

In my defense, he has a beard now. And I was soaking wet.

In our combined defense, we weren’t doing anything other than drying off. In further defense of my own actions, I was merely gazing at the pool, wishing I could go for a swim, when my brother’s lunatic best friend, Malcolm, ran up behind me and shoved me in. Hence, the need to dry off in the parking lot. The high beams that spotlighted us could hardly have been anticipated.

My brother has the perfect job, and he’s marrying the perfect woman. The wedding will also be perfect. As will the honeymoon and the immaculate offspring they will no doubt spawn to carry on the family tradition of normalcy.

I’m the misfit—a professional mermaid in a family full of traditionalists. And if I don’t get an audition with the pod of my dreams soon, I’ll have to rent out my tail to make my car note.

The last thing I have time for in my life right now is a man, especially Malcolm.

Okay, so he grew up and grew a beard. And being an olive oil broker might be a cool job. But he’s still that same obnoxious guy who was always hanging around our house, eating all my good snacks and making dumb jokes.

I mean, come on! The guy rides a skateboard to work!

How long can two misfits deny how well they fit together?

Release Blitz - Desire in the Mountains by Lara London

Title: Desire in the Mountains

A Friends to Lovers, Single Mom, Small Town Romance

Series: Passion Ridge #2

Author: Lara London

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Friends to Lovers/Single Mom/Small Town

Release Date: December 20, 2024

BLURB

"No strings attached" might be Melody’s motto, but I’m about to tie her heart to mine forever.

Melody

As a single mom, my world revolves around my kids and making it to work on time. Romance? Not on the agenda. But then Alex—the irresistible former neighbor I haven’t seen in years—barrels back into my life, and suddenly, I wonder if I can handle one sexy distraction. A fender-bender at school drop-off wasn’t supposed to lead to swapping more than insurance details, but here we are. Now we’ve got a deal: no strings, no commitments. Easy, right? Except nothing about Alex—or the way he makes me feel—is simple.

Alex

The moment I see Melody again, I know she’s the one. Always has been. She might be guarding her heart, but I’ve got my sights set on forever. One night with her in my arms proves she feels the same, even if she won’t admit it. So, what’s a man to do? Pull out all the stops—middle school events included—to show her I’m all in. She thinks we’re just having fun, but I’m here to claim her heart, no strings needed.

Can Alex convince Melody that love is worth the risk, or will her fear of falling keep them apart?

Get ready for a steamy, heartwarming romance packed with swoon-worthy moments and laugh-out-loud chaos in Passion Ridge.

What to expect from a Lara London short read: Quirky heroines, sexy men who can't get enough of them, no cheating, an HEA, and a double dose of heat!

Release Boost - Protecting Mr. Fine by Lucy Lennox

Title: Protecting Mr. Fine

Series: The Billionaire Brotherhood #4

Author: Lucy Lennox

Genre: Contemporary Gay Romance

Tropes: Rockstar/Bodyguard, Secret Billionaire

Opposites Attract, Virgin Rockstar, Forced Proximity

Release Date: December 10, 2024

BLURB

I’m a lucky man and I know it.

Kids from backwoods Georgia don’t land scholarships to Yale, but I did, and striking it rich–like, billions of dollars rich–with my best friends after graduation should have used up my luck for a lifetime.

But luck struck again when I followed my passion into music. My career exploded, and now I get to travel the world, performing for thousands of raving fans every night.

When you get this lucky, you don’t get to want more, and you definitely don’t get to complain about the little things. My family, my crew, and my label are counting on me and I refuse to let them down. I pretend I’m fine, totally fine, Mr. freaking Fine… even when someone starts targeting me with a strange series of threats.

The only one who sees beneath the pretense is my gorgeous, strictly-professional bodyguard. Ryan keeps me safe and calm. He holds me when I’m terrified.

But even Ryan doesn’t see everything. He doesn’t know I want him. That I crave him. The man who keeps me together has no idea how much I want him to take me apart.

And I’ll never tell. Because there’s no way someone as strong and confident as Ryan could have feelings for someone as chaotic as me.

Nobody’s that lucky… not even Mr. Fine.

AUTHOR BIO

Lucy Lennox is a USA Today bestselling author and winner of the A.C. Katt Gay Debut Novel Award.

After enjoying creative writing as a child, Lucy didn’t write her first novel until she was over 40 years old. Her debut novel, Borrowing Blue, was published in the autumn of 2016. Lucy has an English Literature degree from Vanderbilt University, but that doesn’t hold a candle to the years and years of staying up all night reading tantalizing novels on her own. She has three children, plays tennis, and hates folding laundry. While her husband is no shmoopy romance hero, he is very good at math, cooks a mean lasagne, has gorgeous eyes, looks hot in his business clothes, and makes her laugh every single day. She writes gay romance with heart, humor, and heat!

EXCERPT

He turns, facing me squarely. “Everything I do and everything I’ve done are for selfish reasons. If I’m watching out for you or taking care of you, it’s because I like the way you make me feel. You have an effect on me no other woman has. You make my c&ck hard every f#cking time I look at you, even when I’ve just come the hardest in my life and it should be physically impossible. So when I tell you that I’m doing it for me, I’m not lying.”

His words hurt, slicing right through me like he almost did with the blade of his knife. Yet that’s not the truth I see when I look at his actions. That’s not the hope I hold on to when I close my eyes at night and shed lonely tears with him right beside me in bed.

Swallowing back those tears that burn at the back of my eyes, I lift my chin. “You’re wrong, Sav. A man who does everything with his own self-interest in mind won’t give his life to save me and my baby.”

The statement pierces him like a sword. I see it in the way he winces as he’s forced to face the simplest of truths when all his arguments are exhausted and only his considerate behavior is left to speak for itself.

We face each other like pieces on a chess table. It’s a checkmate move. It’s playing dirty. I admit that. Pushing him into a corner to confess something I desperately need to hear isn’t honorable. But I don’t know how else to open his eyes to something he won’t allow himself to believe. Maybe he thinks it will be a betrayal of his love for Rachele. But people can love more than one person. They can get hurt and trampled and find happiness again. He lost his first love, but he’s my first love. If he gives us a chance, we can be so much more than lust and s€x.

He turns away with that wounded look on his face, running away from the future we could’ve had. And I’m still thoroughly and utterly ruined, a silly, opportunistic woman who put her heart on the line in a gamble she lost.

Cover Reveal - Wedlocked by Cambria Hebert

Title: Wedlocked

Series: Westbrook Elite #9

Author: Cambria Hebert

Genre: New Adult College Romance

Tropes: M/F, M/M, Winter Break Antics

Skiing Bros, Drama

Cover Design: Cover Me Darling

Release Date: January 14, 2025

BLURB

It’s no secret that, over the past couple years, Elite has been through it. For real, when I look around, I think, Two billion years of evolution for this?

But even with the heaping pile of crazy tossed at us on the regular, we still have each other’s backs and are stronger than ever. With Westbrook’s winter break coming up, it’s time Elite got their relax on. Leaving our Speedos behind, we load up the Jeeps with skis to spend an entire week in a private chalet at White Pine Summit.

Bro, yeah!

It’s also the perfect time for me to finish some unfinished business.

Remember that rock I put on my girl’s finger? It’s blinding all these bros around here. They act like they don’t even see it, telling me I can’t call Jess my wife because we aren’t actually married.

I’m sick of reminding everyone I’m not boyfriend or even fiancé material. I’m one hundred percent husband. And a snowy getaway is the perfect time to make good on my promise of forever.

The entire fam, a gorgeous venue, and a week out of the pool… What could possibly go wrong?

Knowing Elite… probably something.

But it doesn’t matter. Whatever winter break has in store for us, we’ll handle it just like everything else. No amount of drama or snow is gonna keep me from wife-ing up.

By the end of this vacay, Jess and I (and who knows who else) will officially be Wedlocked.
