They agreed on three months… but neither expected to fall.

Alex Sebring is a former professional rugby star—and a man with nothing left to prove. Fame, fortune, and adoration were once his everyday normal… until injury ripped him from the game and the headlines turned brutal. Now, he lives in quiet exile.

No press. No relationships. No complications.

He’s content to lick his wounds in peace.

Until her.

Magnolia Steel is in Australia on a three-month work assignment. Just career focus… and maybe a little fun on the side. She never expects to connect with a stranger from behind a wall in a blind-dating suite. No faces. No names. Just voices—and something that feels dangerously real.

At the urging of his best friends, Jack and Laurelyn McLachlan, Alex proposes a deal: three months together, no expectations, no labels. But what begins as a simple arrangement turns into something far more complicated when hearts get involved.

They promised it would end when she left. But what if walking away is the one thing neither of them can do?

Sound familiar? Your favorite Australian caveman and his American girl return—a decade later—with a fresh twist on the love story that started it all.

Meet Alex and Magnolia.

Release Blitz - The Last Time by Anna Bloom

Title: The Last Time

Series: The Last Ever #2

Author: Anna Bloom

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Second Chance at Love, Forbidden Relationship

Grumpy/Sunshine, Found Family, Medical Drama

Release Date: April 26, 2025

BLURB

“He swore he wouldn’t fall. She never expected to want him to.”

OLIVIA

Boxing Day was supposed to be spent with my children. Instead, I was alone in a hotel bar, drowning in heartbreak while my ex played happy families with his new girlfriend. And then he walked in.

Dr. Ryan Simmonds—arrogant, guarded, and too damn gorgeous for his own good.

He was supposed to be a one-night escape, nothing more.

✔ Not my sister’s heart surgeon.

✔ Not the man making my children laugh.

✔ And definitely not someone I could fall for when my world is already crumbling.

RYAN

I don’t get involved. Not after my fiancée left me for my brother.

But Olivia Brown is a complication I never saw coming.

✔ She’s fierce, exhausted, and willing to fight the world for her sister.

✔ She’s the one woman I shouldn’t want.

✔ And she’s breaking down every wall I’ve built.

Her sister’s failing heart means I’m her only hope. But Olivia deserves more than a man who can’t afford to love her.

Now I have to make an impossible choice:

Be the surgeon who saves her sister… or the man who won’t break her heart.

🔥 A heart-wrenching, slow-burn romance about love, fate, and impossible choices.

📖 Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Colleen Hoover, and Abby Jimenez.

I have been in love with Shepard Thorne since I was twelve.

He’s my best friend’s hot older brother, and I am the weird redhead who low-key follows him everywhere. He’s soccer’s bad boy, and I am stuck in a dead end job, serving drinks at the local strip club.

Our paths aren’t meant to cross.

Until one day I catch him getting a lap dance at the club and jealousy makes me ruin his fun.

Now he’s made it his mission to make my life hell and no matter what I do, there is no escape.

Everywhere I turn, there he is, waiting for his payback.

He threatens to kiss me one second, and choke me the next.

He promises to bring me to my knees and make me beg.

What started as a little harmless prank turns into a twisted game of blackmail that’s toxic but oh-so-good.

But it has to end.

Because I have a secret...

That ties me to my tormentor in an irrevocable way, and if he ever finds out, it will wreck everything I now crave.

Even his revenge.

Note: This is a STANDALONE set in the world of Bardstown

Trace Miller

I had one ticket out of the suffocating expectations of my powerful Montana ranching family: an escape from the arranged marriage my father had decreed.

But my rebellion takes an unexpected turn when my younger brother steps in to take my place at the altar.

It's my freedom – until tragedy strikes, and the weight of responsibility crashes down harder than ever.

Katie Brown

I was raised knowing my future wasn't my own. Promised to a Miller to unite two land-rich dynasties, I steel myself for a loveless union. A stolen night of anonymity offers a fleeting taste of my own freedom before I'm expected to say "I do."

In the close-knit world of Azure Ridge, Montana, fate has a twisted sense of humor. The land merger demands a marriage, and now, amidst grief and family pressure, Trace finds himself bound to me, the very woman he shares a scorching secret with.

Our marriage is anything but convenient, fraught with unspoken desires, family secrets, and the undeniable chemistry that ignites whenever we're together.

Can this marriage of necessity blossom into a genuine connection, or will the weight of our families' expectations and our own tangled pasts tear us apart?

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.

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.

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.”
