BLURB

I’m stuck in a rot. As a successful lawyer in my parent’s New York City office, I’m sick and tired of their greed and lifelong insistence on putting their powerhouse practice above all else—including me and my siblings. I should have done what my brother and sister did…turn my back on law. It’s time to quit the firm and return to the only home I’ve ever known, the quiet town of Moose Village in Upstate New York.

Not much has changed in the tiny town in the foothills of the Adirondacks. Or so I thought. Moose Village is playing host to a mystery woman. And she happens to be working for my aunt’s bakery. The lovely Cadie Waterford is the talk of the town gossip, as much for her luscious banana bread as her willingness to talk about her past.

I’m not normally one to engage in gossip…but the more time I spend with Cadie, the more intrigued I become. Whatever her secrets may be, I’m sure I can handle them—but when words like FBI, CIA, and even murder come into play, does Cadie need more protection than I thought?

Or does Moose Village need protection from Cadie?

Release Blitz - The Misfits of Copper County by May Archer



Title: The Misfits of Copper County
Series: The Copper County Series #3
Author: May Archer
Genre: Gay Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Opposites Attract/Enemies to Lovers
Forced Proximity
Release Date: May 13, 2025


BLURB

When you burn down your contractor’s home… and kind of, accidentally invite him to move into yours.

First things first, that fire was a fluke. A tragic, completely unintentional byproduct of high emotions, an ill-timed backyard grilling… and one very shirtless man.

I only meant to confront Brewer—my maddeningly stoic contractor—about a few small concerns with the renovation of my historic money pit.

Instead, I got distracted by his muscles (who grills shirtless in February, I ask you?), I tripped over my words—and my feet—and… well, my carefully-ordered life went up in flames.

Suddenly, Brewer’s living in my attic, his dainty teacups are in my cabinet, his slobbery dog is all up in my business, and I find myself renovating my whole future just as surely as Brewer’s renovating my home.

Copper County was never my endgame. Once I finish writing my article, I’m off on my next assignment. But between late night conversations, sledgehammer therapy sessions, and solving the Jam Cupboard Mystery (it’s a real thing, I promise), I’m starting to think we’re building something neither of us expected.

Because the more I learn about Brewer, the more I realize I’m not the only misfit in Copper County. And that maybe it’s time I stop chasing other people’s truths… and start writing my own.

Release Blitz - Bound by Liberty by Zara Teleg



Title: Bound By Liberty
Series: Stained Souls MC #4
Author: Zara Teleg
Genre: MC Romance
Tropes: Second Chance/Enemies to Lovers
Friends to Lovers/Grumpy meets Sunshine
Release Date: April 9, 2025


BLURB

Liberty

The hopeless romantic who believed in her novels—that’s who I was. Until betrayal shattered me.

I lived by the rules. The good wife. The respected professor. The woman who never crossed the line.

Then my world unraveled in truths I wished were lies.

Now, I don’t know who I am anymore. But I know what I crave. Something deeper. Something darker. Something real.

And he sees it in me. Colt. My first love. My greatest mistake.

He offers me a challenge—one that strips away everything I thought I knew about control. No love. No promises. Just surrender. His game. His rules.

I should walk away. But every time he touches me, I come apart. I tell myself I can play without losing… just one more time.

Colt

Liberty spent her entire life trapped in a self-made cage. Now she’s standing before me, silently begging to be set free.

She thinks she can control this. That she can take what I give and still walk away unscathed. She’s wrong.

Because the moment she lets go of her fears around desire, everything changes. When she embraces all her raw, uninhibited fantasies, she ignites a fire that could consume us both.

This isn’t romance. It’s dominance. It’s control. A game she swears she won’t lose. But she’s playing against me.

And when it’s over… she still won’t understand the power I have… Which means she’ll come back for more.

Will I break her?

Or will she break me?

AUTHOR BIO

Zara Teleg writes love stories that scorch the sheets, crack your heart wide open, and leave you begging for more. Her books are emotional, raw, sexy as hell—and always come with a side of redemption and realness.

A good girl raised Italian Catholic, Zara was nine years old when she fell in love with her first romance novel (Sweet Valley High, of course). By the time Jackie Collins entered her world, she was hooked on the bad boys with just enough heart hidden underneath to ruin your life in the best way.

Her heroines are fierce, quick-witted, and full of sexy surprises. Her heroes? All alpha male energy—commanding, magnetic, and more addictive than your favorite late-night craving. Zara believes in lust that lingers, chemistry that consumes, and heartbreak that hurts just enough to make the healing unforgettable.

Writing became her lifeline during a life-altering year—and now, it’s her passion. Her goal? To take you on a ride: fall in love, get wrecked, cry a little (or a lot), and end up feeling more alive than when you started. If you've ever played a love song on repeat, whispered “just one more chapter” at 2 a.m., or fallen for the wrong guy and liked it—Zara gets you.

She lives for sunrise coffee in bed (heavy on the cinnamon and sass), lifting heavy to moody playlists, and laughing until her abs hurt with her loud, loyal Italian crew. Her favorite place? Anywhere near the water—with her journal, her stories, and a damn good cup of coffee.

Release Blitz - The Pretend Fiancé Fiasco by Pippa Grant



Title: The Pretend Fiancé Fiasco
Series: Copper Valley Bro Code #6
Author: Pippa Grant
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Mysterious Protective Hero/Fake
Relationship/Forced Proximity/Treasure Hunt
Release Date: May 8, 2025


BLURB

A reclusive former celebrity, a recovering good girl, and small town trouble...

It started as a joke. After a string of bad boyfriends, I made up a fake boyfriend so people would quit asking when I was going to meet a grumpy lumberjack trying to save his mama’s inn in my adopted hometown.

When my grandma demanded proof from afar, I sent her a picture of me and my “boyfriend.”

Spoiler alert: He wasn’t really my boyfriend.

He was actually a reclusive former boy band member who swings through town sometimes and is friends with my friends.

As much as a reclusive former boy bander can be friends with anyone, that is.

He doesn’t know I told anyone he’s my boyfriend. Or that his name is Steve.

So when Grandma sends the guy she’d rather me marry to town to make sure “Steve” is good enough for me—and to talk me into marrying him instead—I have something of a problem.

But I got myself into this mess, so I’ll get myself out.

By proposing.

Relax, relax, I’m proposing a fake wedding.

And when he turns me down, I can say we broke up.

Except he doesn’t turn me down.

Instead, he offers me a trade.

He’ll pretend to be my groom, but I have to do something for him in return.

And that something?

Hoooo, boy.

I liked the man better when he was my pretend boyfriend Steve.

The Pretend FiancĂ© Fiasco is an action-packed romcom featuring the reclusive final member of the boy band Bro Code, a recovering good girl with too many men interested in her for all the wrong reasons, a treasure hunt, a fake engagement, and the best surprise to hit the Copper Valley universe since the Fireballs’ new mascot was revealed. This small town romcom stands alone, but you wouldn’t go wrong to read both the Copper Valley Bro Code and Copper Valley Fireballs series, along with Dirty Talking Rival, to catch all of the easter eggs.

BLURB

Zac
I stopped believing in the good a long time ago. My childhood was stripped from me one dark night and I was forever changed. Everywhere I looked I saw evil. Everyone I met, I looked at them as the enemy. It took a long time for me to open up and when I did I found my family. The only people I could count on. I never imagined I’d have a family. Because having a family gave me something to lose and I never wanted to feel that pain again. I never wanted to feel weak.

Presley
If there is a disaster, I can be found in the center of it. If there is a wrong choice to be made, I’m first in line. I mess everything up. I’m a magnet for disaster, and when I had the chance, I stumbled right into the arms of a tattooed bad boy. One I knew could destroy me. He wasn’t looking for anything more than one night and here I am, telling him he’s now tied to me forever. Like I said, I’m a mess.

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 cafĂ© 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 cafĂ© 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

Was my current state of steaminess due to the two courage-building mugs of spicy mulled wine I’d chugged in quick succession?
Or was I all hot and bothered because I wanted to pitch the angel act and play the devil? Was it time to yield to temptation when I’d been good for so long?
“Rose,” Rafe rumbled. “Are you okay? You look a little…a lot flushed.”
“How can you tell?” I tossed back to him. “I’m burning up over here, and you’re hiding out over there.”
He growled at that insult and crossed the cafĂ© in three strides. I held my ground, not backing up—or down—an inch. We glared at each other before we moved at the same time.
It was another contest—one where we both could be winners. Who could melt into the other the fastest? We tied for the prize, and Rafe was just lowering his face to mine when he muttered, “Fuck. Windows.”
He tugged me into the roastery, spun me around and started backing me toward the pallets of coffee bean bags. When my thighs bumped up against the stacks of bags, I stopped—and had second thoughts. Not about getting closer to Rafe. That train had already left the station.
No, I had second thoughts about getting horizontal on bags of coffee beans—scratchy burlap bags of beans—versus on my velvety-cushiony couch.
Especially given the next step in dealing with our now-mutually steamy states—the stripping and shedding of T-shirts, jeans and even silky underthingies.
Was burlap burn any different from beard burn?
