Everything I’d ever done had been because of Scarlett Green.

I’d worked hard in school, played hard but trained harder all while waiting for her to get her degree. Her brother, my best friend, knew how I felt about her and the only promise I’d made to him was that I’d wait to make my move until after she’d graduated.

That day finally came, and I’d come home to celebrate with her and send her on her way to new job in a new city. The exact same city I was living in, New York. It was finally going to be our time. I planned to offer her a place to live. After all, I had just bought a large three-bedroom condo after signing a five-year contract with the New York Predators.

Only our time was short lived when my past came back to haunt me in the form of a child I knew nothing about. Overnight, my life was turned upside down. Like the good woman Scarlett is, she immediately put a stop to everything between us, demanding I concentrate on learning how to raise my baby boy while playing hockey.

Now, five years later, I’ve gotten control over our life when the news came that I was being traded to the Vancouver Dominators. Without debate I moved to Vancouver. Within six months of my return, I ran into Scarlett and her brother at one of our home games. She's not only moving to Vancouver but she is here to do an article on the team for the new Canadian division of the Ice Insiders, a sports publication. After one disastrous run in with her I learn she's living in my building and looking to find Mr. Right. I figured now might be the perfect time to pick up where we left off, after all I was certain she was meant to be mine.

Release Blitz - Wicked Pickle by JJ Knight



Title: Wicked Pickle
A Pickleverse Standalone
Author: JJ Knight
Genres: Romantic Comedy/Biker Romance
Tropes: Curvy Heroine/Bad Boy, Biker Bar
Blackmailed Wedding Date
Release Date: July 18, 2025


BLURB

Girlfriends, I’ve really done it this time.

I’m a bridesmaid at a bachelorette party, minding my own business at a local bar after doing six shots of Fireball, when I realize I need to pee. In size small Spanx.

I’m a large.

While I wrestle with my white-spandex belly-smasher in the only bathroom, I’m holding up the whole bar from relieving itself.

When the broody, tatted-up owner breaks down the door, thinking maybe I’ve alcohol-poisoned myself into the afterlife, my drink-addled brain decides to revisit the karate I learned around third grade.

But I misfire my karate kick and hook a thigh around his waist. Then, the sexy rock skull chains hanging off his belt snag my Spanx.

We’re stuck.
Junk to junk.

My best friend, the bride, holds back the bar room paparazzi and promises to snip us apart on one condition:

This hottie biker bad boy has to be my date at her wedding.

Friends, this is the start of one wicked love story.


WICKED PICKLE is a romantic comedy about a down-on-love, dumpling-loving bridesmaid who ends up taking the outcast member of the Pickle family deep into the belly of the biggest Pickle wedding this side of the Mississippi.

Diesel’s story is part of the Top 100 bestselling Pickleverse, and includes the wedding of Rhett and Bailey from Juicy Pickle, but truly, you don’t need to read any of the other books before this one. You can start your crazy adventure with the Pickle family right here.

Award-winning author E.M. Shue returns with another installment in the Happily Ever Alpha World, created by USA Today and New York Times best-selling author Aurora Rose Reynolds.

Ham Martinez never expected a traffic confrontation to change his life.

When a sexy little blonde cuts him off and blows him a kiss, Ham assumes it’s just a playful invitation. But the moment he looks into her eyes, everything shifts. She’s his. He doesn’t care that her sole focus is her doctoral studies. Ham is determined to prove that he’s her future and the one she can trust with her heart.

Presley Blanchard has one goal. Earn her doctorate and finally gain her father’s approval.

She also wants to avoid her cruel stepsister, who finds great joy in bullying her. But when Presley accidentally cuts off a black lifted Jeep, she apologizes with a pucker of her lips, thinking that’s the end of it. She never expects the driver to chase after her, or for him to be a tall, sexy, alpha male who won’t leave her alone. He promises to make her his priority, something she’s craved for a very long time. Giving Ham a chance and losing her heart wasn’t in her plans, but now she can’t imagine a life without him.

When Presley catches the attention of a deadly enemy, Ham will stop at nothing to protect her. As the danger surrounding Presley grows, their love will be tested by the deadly waters threatening to tear them apart. Ham and Presley will have to fight through the darkness to dive into their BOOM, no matter what stands in their way.

If you loved Until Hanna, you won’t be able to put down Until Presley.

Some love stories are meant to weather the storm. Others are the storm.

Alex and Magnolia have survived lies, long-distance heartbreak, and the kind of silence that could’ve ruined everything. Now, they’re engaged and finally chasing forever—together.

But love isn’t always smooth sailing.

When Magnolia decides to trade her American roots for a life in Australia, it feels like the beginning of everything they’ve dreamed of. A home. A future. A second chance to build what was almost lost.

Until the past returns—with claws.

Tyson. Celeste. The paparazzi. The shadows they thought they’d outrun come roaring back, threatening not only their peace but their future.

And Alex is done running.

As the final showdown looms, Magnolia and Alex will have to fight harder than ever—for each other, for their privacy, and for the love that was always worth the war.

Because true love doesn’t cower.
It endures.
It defends.
It wins.

The epic conclusion to Alex and Magnolia’s trilogy delivers all the heat, heartbreak, and hard-won happily-ever-after readers have been waiting for.

Genre: Mafia Romance
Tropes: Grumpy/Sunshine, Forced Proximity
Cinnamon Roll Hero, Ex Con/Good Girl
Release Date: July 8, 2025


BLURB

Baker Ritter knew how to pick them.

She met the man she thought she was going to marry in middle school, gave him some of the best years of her life, for him to leave her pregnant and alone hours before she’s due to have his baby.

To make matters worse, he brings his side chick to the birth, and she’s left with a decision—fight for what she wants, or cut her losses.

What she should’ve done was cut her losses. What she does instead is take him back and experiences what it’s like to live in hell.

When she’s at the lowest of the low, she calls her dad, an ex-con, who sends the one person he knows that can fix it all.
Copper Clayborne.

***

Copper Clayborne has no time for nonsense—that nonsense being a woman and a baby.

But that woman’s dad saved his life in prison and kept saving it until he was strong enough to save himself.

He owes everything to Baker’s dad, so of course he says yes when he asks to let Baker move in with him.

That doesn’t mean that he has to have anything to do with her.

He’s got a business to fix—then bring down in the most fantastic, public way possible.

He’s also got years of celibacy to make up for.

He doesn’t have time to fall for the woman and her kid.

He certainly doesn’t have the mental headspace to deal with her drama.

He gives it his all, but Baker wiggles into his cracked and bleeding heart, and makes herself right at home. Whether he wants her there or not.
