BLURB

Ice racing was the only thing on my radar. My goal? To return from a knee injury and make the Winter Olympic team.

My problem? Having to share my practice rink with up-and-coming hockey team, the Opal Springs Ghouls.

All they want is to turn professional and put the town on the hockey map.

Their problem? They don't want to share the ice with me either, and they don't mind letting me and everyone else know. Three of them in particular have made it their mission to make my life h*ll, by any means necessary.

Even if they break me.

Good luck with that, I won't be broken that easily, but fighting both them and my attraction to them might just shatter me forever.

**This is a RH/why choose hockey romance with darker themes and a hot pink boa.**

Genre: MM Romance
Tropes: One Night Stand/Lovers to Friends to Lovers
Always the Groomsman, Never the Groom
Billionaire, Fake Dating
Release Date: May 2, 2024


BLURB

Have you heard the expression “twelve times a groomsman, never a groom”? Neither had I… until it suddenly became clear that every man I dated found their One True Love in the person they dated after me. 

Now I’m writing Best Man speeches for my former boyfriends twice a month, the “After Oscar” thing has become a legend, and I have finally accepted that Oscar Overton is nobody’s Happily Ever After.

Which is fine. 

Between running my investment company, providing for Frank, my emotional support hedgehog, and keeping my enthusiastic family from getting in my business, my life is plenty busy. The last thing on my mind is a relationship.

Until Hugh Linzee.

One hot night with the gorgeous wedding photographer somehow turns into a text conversation I just can’t quit, but I’m determined to keep my distance. Hugh has ideas… ideas about romance and fireworks and capital-L love… and I care about him too much to let him get those ideas about me.

Fate keeps throwing us together, though. After an accidental all-night phone call and a convenient wedding run-in, suddenly I find myself agreeing to be his fake boyfriend, and distance quickly becomes a thing of the past.

But how long until Hugh figures out he’ll only get his HEA… After Oscar?

LUCY LENNOX

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!



MOLLY MADDOX

Molly Maddox is the romance pen name for a New York Times bestselling author who started writing at an early age because her older sister, Lucy Lennox, was a writer and Molly wanted to be like Lucy in all ways (she still does).

When she’s not writing, Molly likes to cook, read, take pictures of her dog and cat cuddling, and finds an odd satisfaction in folding sheets so that the top sheet is indistinguishable from the bottom sheet.

She loves all things romance and is grateful every day she gets to write for a living.




Release Blitz - Midlife Gumbo by Reggi Dupree

Author: Reggi Dupree
Genre: Paranormal Women's Fiction
Tropes: Forbidden Romance, Fated Mates
Sibling's Ex, Grumpy/Violent Sunshine
Release Date: May 2, 2024


BLURB

When you think life can’t get worse, the universe says: hold my beer.

Anastasia

This forty-five-year-old honey badger shifter is newly single and ready to mingle.

And freaking tired of playing small.

The fantastic news? I’m no longer alone. I have a sister and an entire birth family in Hoodoo, Texas. But with some new unexplainable powers, I may be too big of a freak for even my vampire aunt to accept.

The bad news? The sadistic honey badger clan I fled twenty-five years ago has found me. Someone else is trying to kill me. And if their threats of kidnapping, forced mating, and death weren’t enough…

I’m going into heat. Of course, the only viable candidate to offer a... helping hand is my escort to Texas–a grumpy werewolf who doesn’t even like me.

Carlos

I’m in San Diego to make the long-lost sister of my former high school sweetheart disappear—by any means possible. Instead, I discover that not only is the sister her identical twin, but my fated mate.

Now, my mission is to get the violent ball of sunshine to Hoodoo, where she’ll become someone else’s problem. That should be easy enough because I’m a wolf with a plane, a plan, and a purpose. What could go wrong?

How about everything?

Midlife Gumbo is the third book in the Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo series. While it’s part of the larger world, this full-length paranormal romance is a stand-alone.

If you love road trips, laughter, and grumpy sunshine stories, then you’ll love Midlife Gumbo. This novel is high in humor and medium in spice and perfect for fans of Darynda Jones, Mandy Roth, and Shelly Laurenston.

AUTHOR BIO

Something about magic, action, and the supernatural calls to my wicked soul. I enjoy most genre fiction, but am drawn to heroines like me and my weird circle of friends: not that slim, not that young, and even a wee bit cranky. But we also find joy and laughter, even in the darkest times.

I fill my books with adventure, magic, loss, love, and inclusive casts.

Okay, now the personal stuff.

I married my first boyfriend who survived the four-month mark. Since we’ve been hitched for over thirty-seven years, I think he just might stick. The cats? Well, he’s too spoiled and stubborn to move off the couch.

Crusher gets under my skin in ways I never could’ve imagined. He’s been relentlessly pursuing me at every turn since the night I snuck out of his bed.

AUTHOR BIO


I’m just a true southern girl, reading and writing books, asking you to love me! My books are extra steamy, contemporary romances, all with HEAs and no cliffhangers! They’re short, smutty, and tastefully trashy.

If you love over-protective, sexy, alpha book boyfriends who make you swoon and reach for your favorite… bookmark, then you’ve come to the right place.

When I’m not writing books or doing bookish things, I’m probably listening to music, designing smutty stickers, adding to my spectacular band t-shirt collection, or learning how to do something new like arm-knitting because I’m neurodivergent AF! And yes, I really do know how to knit with my arms.

Tropes: Small Town/Single Father
Elementary School Teacher
Cover Design: Emma Nichole
Release Date: May 24, 2024


BLURB

Mason Shaw.

He’s exactly what I want and need in a man. He’s also off-limits as the father of one of my students.

I didn’t expect to be wildly attracted to him the moment he walked into my classroom.

Nor was I even looking for this type of… connection.

I’m only supposed to share my mind and knowledge as his son’s teacher. Not my body as his lover.

I’m a professional. Surely I can resist his perfect, blue eyes, work-calloused hands, and that deep timbre in his voice.

Having a temporary tryst with a single father is one thing.

Falling in love with him is another thing entirely.

Especially when I know for certain I can’t give him what he wants, or needs, in life

I want to be his.
I want to explore this.

I just don’t know if he’ll want me when he finds out how broken I truly am.

Catalyst is a single father/elementary school teacher small town romance. 
It’s book 1 of the Meadow Lake Series but can be read as a complete standalone.
