BLURB

His best friend stole his girl—and married her.

Now, Milwaukee Mayhem goalie Alek Bergeron is riding payback straight to the top of his game. He’s got one goal left: hoist the Cup and rub it in his former best friend’s face. But just as the season is about to start, a phone call from the past lands like a body check to the gut.

A twist of fate.

Sheridan Cobert has made a career out of caring for others, but nothing prepares her for the loss of her only sibling—or the shock of learning he named Alek Bergeron, not her, as guardian of her nephew. The same Alek who shattered her teenage heart years earlier.

Alek’s life is in on the ice, his schedule insane, and the last thing he needs is a rambunctious little boy and a jockstrap-murdering dog—not to mention the not so little sister of the guy he hates—upending his neatly ordered world. But neither of them is willing to give up custody, so they strike a fragile truce: cohabitation until the end of the season.

What could go wrong?

Only everything.

Because sharing a roof with the girl he was never supposed to touch is messing with Alek’s game. Especially now that she’s grown up into a tempting, sexy woman. For her part, Sheridan is having difficulty keeping her lips off the guy she’s crushed on for half her life. As the season heats up, so do the nights—and so does the guilt. Because Sheridan is keeping a decade-old secret that could destroy the fragile future their make-shift family is building.


Tropes in this book:
Brother’s best friend
Best friend’s little sister
Forced proximity
Second Chance
Slow burn
Found family

Keeping it real is a contemporary hockey romance loaded with fun banter and sizzle. It is a complete standalone with a HEA!

Release Blitz - Cuckoo by Nikki Landis



Title: Cuckoo
Series: Devil's Murder MC #7
Author: Nikki Landis
Genre: Dark MC Paranormal Romantic Suspense
Tropes: Friends to Lovers/Foster Siblings/Found
Family/One Bed/Touch Her & Die/Second Chance
Childhood Trauma/Trauma Bonding
Release Date: June 29, 2025


BLURB

Never give up on second chances.

Cuckoo has always been a jokester. He’s the type of guy who sees humor in everything because, at one time, he never thought he’d ever laugh again.

It began in tender years when he found an old trunk full of costumes. A Beggar’s Night filled with candy, secrets, and screams. Cuckoo can still hear the shrill sounds in his dreams.

And then there was her. His foster sister and the little angel he swore to protect. Cuckoo took those beatings for her. He lied for her. He gave up everything. . . for Katrina.

And then she disappeared. A ghost in the darkness. He never saw her again.

Fifteen years later, Cuckoo still has all those costumes. He checks every corner and peers through every open door. Because he knows someday he’ll see his angel again.

He just never expects to collide with her while riding his Harley. Katrina isn’t the little girl from his childhood, but he isn’t the same boy either. They’re both trying to shove the past behind a locked door.

But the funny thing about trauma? It never stays hidden. With Katrina’s life in danger and the clock ticking, Cuckoo must find a way to keep her safe and end the bastard threatening them both.

And this masked vigilante role? It’s one Cuckoo was born to play.

Cuckoo is a full-length, dark romance with a paranormal twist, violence, biker slang, forced proximity, and a protective stalker outlaw in a foster sibling, friends-to-lovers, second chance, suspenseful adventure. For best enjoyment, the series should be read in order since ongoing storylines and characters appear throughout and overlap.

Cover Reveal - Denim & Diamonds by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland



Title: Denim & Diamonds
Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative
Photographer: Wander Aguiar Photography
Model: Lucas Loyola
Release Date: July 27, 2025


BLURB

When the board of directors of my company mandated that I go to a wellness facility in small-town Maine to recharge, that shouldn’t have included:
1.) Using a ladder to sneak out of the bedroom window at night and going to the local bar.
2.) Getting so drunk that the bar owner brought me upstairs to sleep it off in his bed.
3.) Waking up staring at the taxidermy moose head on said bar owner’s wall.
4.) Falling for said bar owner who was the most drop-dead gorgeous man I’ve ever seen.
But Brock Hawkins was so much more than just the hot bar owner. He owned half the town, built log cabins with his bare hands, and was apparently the most eligible man in all of Meadowbrook.
He was also a cinnamon roll despite his seemingly rock-hard exterior.
And the last man I should’ve been falling for—because my time in this small town was limited.
I had to head back to my life in New York City, one that was the complete opposite from the kind Brock lived.
He was denim. I was diamonds.
The problem was, the sexy lumberjack wasn’t the type of man who was easy to walk away from. Hell, I couldn’t even part with his plaid shirt that had become a constant fixture wrapped around my shoulders most days, let alone think about erasing him from my life.
A life with Brock, though, would have to be all or nothing.
Go big or go home.
I just didn’t realize that choosing to go big might also mean getting my heart broken when Brock’s life took a turn neither of us saw coming.

Release Blitz - Cinder & Secrets by Melissa Toppen



Title: Cinder & Secrets
Series: Ink & Ashes #2
Author: Melissa Toppen
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Best Friend's Brother/College Romance
Release Date: June 27, 2025


BLURB

I had a lot of plans for my freshman year of college.

Falling for my roommate’s older brother was definitely not one of them.

Not like I had a choice in the matter.

The second he walked in with that crooked smile and dark green eyes, I was a goner.

But River Parker doesn’t exactly make it easy on me.

One minute he’s acting like he’s just as interested in me as I am in him, the next he’s detached and indifferent.

And to make matters worse, the only person who could give me insight into the man who has completely consumed my every waking thought for months, is the one person he doesn’t want me to tell… His sister—who happens to be one of my closest friends.

I’m stuck in this constant push and pull—unsure of where he truly stands—which only serves to complicate things further. Given that he lives in completely different state and that we’ve only ever actually been in the same room together once in the entire time we’ve been talking, I’d say things are already complicated enough.

But then his sister invites me to visit over summer break and even though I know it’s a bad idea the instant she suggests it, I also know there isn’t a chance in hell I could turn down the opportunity to see River again.

I thought I knew what I was getting myself into when I showed up at his parents’ house without telling him, but nothing could have prepared me for his reaction when he walks in and sees me sitting at the table with his family—or for anything that happens after.

When you stand too close to the fire, you’re bound to get burned. The only question that remains is, will it have been worth it? I guess sometimes, you simply have to endure the pain to find out.

Release Blitz - Extraction by J.L. Drake



Title: Extraction
Trilogy: Stonewall #1
Author: J.L. Drake
Genre: Military Romantic Suspense
Tropes: Secret Child/Found Family/Cartel World
Alpha Male/Enemies to Lovers/Forced Proximity
Release Date: June 26, 2025


BLURB

From the author of the bestselling Broken Trilogy and Dark Water Series comes Extraction—the first book in Stonewall, a dangerous suspense series in the World of Mayhem, where brotherhood runs deep, and the fight for what matters most only gets harder when the heart is on the line.

Agent Paul is a soldier of many faces—
a ghost, an undercover operative, a team leader.

But those are just titles.

When a letter lands in his hands, everything changes. The past he buried resurfaces with a single revelation—his son.

Returning to the cartel world he barely escaped is a mission he can’t face alone. His brothers rally behind him, shifting their current operation to follow a trail that leads into the darkest corners of Mexico. What they encounter is far more than intel.

A pawn.
An heir.
A child.

Nicole Winter is a war correspondent with a reputation for chasing the truth. Smart. Relentless. And already three steps ahead. When their paths collide, she’s holding the one document Paul needs—and carrying secrets of her own.

As trust is tested and loyalties blur, the mission spirals. When Paul vanishes mid-operation, Nicole is left with one impossible task—to get the boy out alive.

Even if it costs her everything.

His obsession for me is deadly, and I’m falling prey to his pleasure.

There’s never been any security in my life. After being dumped on indifferent relatives as a child, it hurt when I realized that no one was ever going to protect me.

But Cullan, my boyfriend’s father, makes me feel safer than any man I’ve ever known. He’s twice my age and totally forbidden, but his protective embraces, deep voice, and inked muscles have awoken things in me that I shouldn’t want.

When darkness swallows me, it’s Cullan who pulls me into his strong arms and leads me back into the light. He gives me protection, and a job as a nanny to his very young child. But I suspect that Cullan is drenched in his own darkness. There’s a killer on the loose in the city, and I think I know the identity of the man behind the red mask.

My instincts tell me to run from Cullan as fast as I can, but my boyfriend’s father has stolen my heart with hands that are soaked in blood.

And though it should be impossible, I think I’m having his baby.

Author’s note: Soft Tissue Damage is a standalone boyfriend’s father MF romance with dark themes, a twenty-year age gap, the hero as the other man, breeding, a jealous and possessive alphahole, and a sweet but strong virgin heroine. This book features appearances of characters from Fear Me, Love Me. The story is dark, dirty and delicious, so please read at your discretion.

EXCERPT

I put my hands on Elena’s waist and slowly back her against a bookcase. “You didn’t tell Leon about our kiss?”

Elena shakes her head. She's in the circle of my arms with my head bent over her.

“Why didn’t you tell him?”

“We made a mistake because of the intense situation.” But she looks conflicted. Because she doesn’t know what she wants, or because she doesn’t know if she’s allowed to have it?

I bend my head lower toward her lips and whisper, “Was it a mistake?”

Is there a chance she doesn’t want Leon, and she wants me instead? Her mouth is parted, and her eyes are filled with longing. Does she ever look at Leon like this, or is this needy expression just for me? We’re so close that her face is just inches from mine.

“Elena, how attached are you to my son?”

I know what I’d say if she wasn’t dating my son. Be a good girl and tip those pretty lips up for a kiss. But first I have to know how she feels.

“Cullan…” she breathes.

I cup her jaw and slide my thumb over her full lips. Elena closes her eyes and arches her throat as I touch her, and desire pours through me. She shouldn’t say my name like that and respond to my touch like that if she wants me to back off.

I have to know if I have a chance with her. “Tell me. How much do you really want my son?”
