 Most people have heard of werewolves, men who turn into a wolf (dog?) under the full moon. The next common shifter is a cat-shifter, whether tiger, bobcat, or even your house cat. Recently, I've come across some unusual shifters- bunny, fox, and crocodiles. Unique! In DIA'S LURE, the Ngata family are all swan-shifters. How cool! Now available for PREORDER, make sure to not miss out. DIA'S LURE releases on Oct. 25th. Blurb: When Dia finally gets caught, she has to decide: flee or fight? Or…fall in love? After years on the run, Dia Ngata’s luck has run out. Not by hunters, though, but by a reclusive bat shifter colony and the witches bound to them. The worst part? Her fellow captive happens to be Carver Kano, the ex-lover who betrayed her all those years ago. Carver Kano admits his mistakes, and his biggest was being too late to stop the slaughter of Dia’s tribe. Ever since, the investigative journalist has focused on putting the biggest and baddest behind bars; however, he can’t escape the prison of his guilt. When he gets captured by the bat colony, he doesn’t expect to form a friendship with the handsome bat shifter Milos or to have a chance to earn Dia’s forgiveness. Dia plans to escape as soon as possible. And Milos? He simply wants to survive. Dia is Kano’s mate, but Milos ignites something in them both. When someone from Kano’s past threatens the colony, can the trio put their fears and mistrust aside? Or will history repeat itself once more? Love shifters? Catherine Peace’s Solstice Quartet series blends magic and love as three daughters of a swan tribe find love where they least expect it. Peace’s stories bring to mind books by Patricia Briggs and Carrie Ann Ryan. Preorder links: |

Today was an emotional day as we watched the Queen's funeral. She had such a dedication to service and her country. All the pomp and majesty had me thinking about the other royal events like William and Kate's wedding as well as Charles and Diana's. Many girls saw those weddings and dreamed about being a princess. But being a princess is more than carriage rides and ballgowns. It can be arranged marriages and never ending responsibilities.
In Kristine Lynn's latest romance, REUNITING WITH HER PRINCE, her characters explore the need to escape royal life. Unfortunately, mistaken identity leads to mistakes which could derail their romance. This book is not an ordinary Cinderella tale. Instead you will cheer on the hero and heroine as they work toward their happily ever after.
Now available in ebook and print. Grab a copy for yourself and any royal fans in your life!
Blurb:
Royal responsibilities have never been such a liability for these monarchs-in-disguise!
When Lissa runs away from the unthinkable fate that awaits her as Princess of Aldonia, a stranger she meets is just the distraction she’s looking for—hot as sin, and sexy as hell. Yep, he’ll help her forget all about her troubles. If only she could forget about him when it’s time for her to return to Aldonia…
… and marry a prince she’s never met in order to keep her family out of crippling debt!
Gael was doing some running away of his own when he met Lissa. He just doesn’t see the need for pedantic practices like arranged marriages anymore, which is what’s awaiting him when he returns to Spain. He wants to marry for love, a possibility he hadn’t considered before meeting Lissa.
So, he gives up the throne to track her down, and sets in motion a cruel twist of fate neither of them could have anticipated. Because the next time he sees Lissa, the woman of his dreams, she’s walking down the aisle to marry the new Galician Prince--his younger brother!
Will the two star-crossed lovers ever find a way out of the royal mess they’re in so they can finally be together?
EXCERPT:
“What a shame I didn’t meet you sooner. See, I’m a prince on his way to being king, and could have swept you off your feet. Screw that other guy.”
“Sounds like treason, mister.” She trailed a finger along his angular jaw, tempted to keep going along his collarbone and south. “And yes, a damned shame indeed. Stupid ol’ fate is always getting it wrong, isn’t she? Anyway, if you’re up for some fun, I’m here until Friday.” Her finger made its way to his chest, solid and warm. “Take it or leave it.”
He seemed to consider her proposal, pausing before he answered, but not long enough for her to doubt his interest. “I’ll take it. All of it.” A challenge was issued in his eyes, in his arms that wrapped around her waist, closing the last of the distance between them.
She closed her eyes and cinched her hands around his neck, pulling him into her.
“Good choice.”
She brought her lips to his and ran her tongue along his bottom lip, knowing that exquisite pleasure for herself at last. He tasted of orange blossom and vanilla, and damn if she didn’t almost come right there.
As the rain began to fall, Lissa tangled her fingers in his hair. She had three days of freedom in front of her, and she intended to use each and every one to ravish the beautiful man whose taste was still on her tongue.
She might have to kiss a frog in less than a week, but she was going to bed with Mr. Charming tonight.

Dangerous Liaisons- Sometimes when two people come together it leads to life or death. In CHOSEN BY FIRE, Dana and Jerome sizzle. He's a hunky motorcycle riding guy who's been following a killer. She's a big city girl who suddenly took a job in a rural small town. Unexplained things happen around Dana but when she meets Jerome, things fall into place. She learns what she's truly meant to do!
CHOSEN BY FIRE is the exciting debut novel by Kelly Eason. Filled with non-stop action and sizzling romance, CHOSEN BY FIRE will become your new favorite read.
Blurb:
She was an ordinary mortal woman…until she learned she was chosen at birth to kill.
Dana Elliott is no small-town girl. An unknown force compelled her to abandon her life in Chicago and move to a tiny town in the mountains of north Georgia. Now, a year later, she’s bored and frustrated with her zero social life and on the verge of quitting her college professor job and leaving town.
Then she meets Jerome Kendall, a gorgeous, motorcycle-riding, immortal hunk who is literally hotter-to-the-touch than any man she’s ever known. As a member of the Flame clan, Jerome can control fire and become invisible whenever he wants. But he desires only one thing – revenge for the death of his closest friend, Samuel.
Uriah, the evil leader of a gang of cannibal mutants who is kidnapping and caging humans at the bottom of a deep gorge, and the man who murdered Samuel, becomes the target of Jerome’s deadly revenge. Unfortunately, Jerome can’t kill Uriah himself but he’s stunned to discover that Dana, a beautiful, mortal woman, was destined at birth to be the only one who can kill Uriah.
After learning some shocking secrets about her and Jerome’s family, is Dana willing to take on the challenge of a violent and potentially lethal combat to kill the mutant leader? And can Jerome risk the life of the woman he loves to avenge his friend’s death?
CHOSEN BY FIRE will have you looking twice at every hunky man on a motorcycle who happens by. Curl up with it today!
EXCERPTS:
His body melted into a soft, glowing outline, then in seconds, completely disappeared. She gripped the arm of the couch, looking all around and behind. Nothing. He wasn’t there.
“Where did you go?” she said, her voice shaky.
“Shhh. Just relax, Dana.” Jerome’s voice was close to her.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but you need to get the hell out of my house. Now.”
“I’m staying,” he said.
Dana’s chest tightened with a stab of fear. Now she was more than a little scared of him.
Just as she started to stand, she felt the touch of warm fingers, starting at her shoulder and moving down her forearm. She froze and stared at her arm, then sat back down.
The fingers moved down to her wrist, then over the top of her hand. Blazing warmth covered her hand as he gently caressed it.
“Dana, you are so beautiful.”
Lips brushed the side of her face, sending a shock through her. She turned her face toward his, allowing his lips to travel to her mouth. They kissed, their tongues lightly exploring. She reached up, fumbling to find his neck, running her hands down his shoulders, exploring the hard, muscular chest she could feel but not see. His hands moved slowly up her arms, massaging her upper back and neck.
Oh, hell, I can’t believe this is happening!
She felt him gently coax her to stretch out on the couch. He lay down next to her, pressing against her, arms firmly around her, pulling her into him. She whimpered and thrust against him. They kissed, hard this time. His mouth, his arms, his hands … everything was getting hotter and hotter and hotter. She could barely stand it. She gasped and pushed away from him.
“Jerome, you’re so hot I can barely touch you! I mean … your skin is hot!”

Has there ever been a time when you wished you could pretend to have a romance with someone? If I had the chance to pretend to have a romance with Tom Hiddleston, I would jump at the chance. But I'd be wishing it was real the whole time. Most of the fake relationship stories are simply to get their friends, parents, or boss off their back to get married. They NEVER see the chance of a real romance happening. Not me, it'd be on my mind the whole time!!
In LOVING BROOKE, Brooke only wants to keep her family off her back. They want to see her happy. They want her to have a partner to help with all her work. But she doesn't realize what could happen when she plays pretend.
LOVING BROOKE by Elsa Winckler is released on October 11th and is a part of the Unexpected Love series. It reads like a stand alone, though, in case you haven't read any of the other books. But you will want to after you get done with this book. So be sure to preorder your copy today!
Blurb:
Can two friends fake love or will their fake relationship end their real friendship?
Irritated by their families continued efforts to get them together, good friends widow Brooke Johnson and Gavin Wilson decide to fake a relationship for the next two weeks. But then Gavin kisses her, making her aware of the desires she’d suppressed for so long.
Suddenly, Brooke struggles to focus on finishing paintings for an upcoming exhibition and her simple life becomes way more complicated than before.
When a creepy gallery manager makes her life unpleasant, Gavin wants to take control of the situation and red lights flicker. Brooke had made a vow to handle her own problems rather than relying on someone. Her husband’s death had left her in the dark about finances. She couldn’t let Gavin take over but will their new romance stand up to her hands off attitude? Or will Brooke learn that it’s okay to lean on the ones you love sometimes?
But in the small town of Alisson, Montana, love will find a way.
This classic friends to lovers and fake relationship story will be sure to delight fans of Nora Roberts and Susan Mallery. Come be swept away, today, by this amazing story!

Royal responsibilities have never been such a liability for these monarchs-in-disguise!
When Lissa runs away from the unthinkable fate that awaits her as Princess of Aldonia, a stranger she meets is just the distraction she’s looking for—hot as sin, and sexy as hell. Yep, he’ll help her forget all about her troubles. If only she could forget about him when it’s time for her to return to Aldonia…
… and marry a prince she’s never met in order to keep her family out of crippling debt!
Gael was doing some running away of his own when he met Lissa. He just doesn’t see the need for pedantic practices like arranged marriages anymore, which is what’s awaiting him when he returns to Spain. He wants to marry for love, a possibility he hadn’t considered before meeting Lissa.
So, he gives up the throne to track her down, and sets in motion a cruel twist of fate neither of them could have anticipated. Because the next time he sees Lissa, the woman of his dreams, she’s walking down the aisle to marry the new Galician Prince--his younger brother!
Will the two star-crossed lovers ever find a way out of the royal mess they’re in so they can finally be together?

Do you remember your first love? How old were you? Did it last? My first love was so cute. He had blond hair and played football, but I first knew him as a baby. The two of us, actually grew up together. And while our romance didn't last... our friendship did. He remained a part of my life, always being someone I could lean on.
Those feelings for a first boyfriend are strong. They don't go away easily. It's one of the pieces I LOVE about Julie Navickas' new release- I LOVED YOU YESTERDAY. The main characters were first loves but life got in the way. Those feelings didn't just disappear but serve as a basis for a great romance novel!!
I LOVED YOU YESTERDAY is an emotional rollercoaster as Austin and Mavis reconnect. Even the secrets Mavis kept, couldn't keep them from imploding. I LOVED YOU YESTERDAY will keep you mesmerized as you read into the night. Don't miss your chance at this amazing Love Story!
Blurb:
Secrets always have a way of coming out.
Mavis Benson made a huge mistake. Scratch that--colossal mistake. Twice. Sleeping with her high school sweetheart’s twin brother definitely wasn’t part of the plan… nor was falling in love with him.
But that wasn’t the only complication Mavis faced. When an unplanned pregnancy upends her life at seventeen, Mavis skips town to spare her boyfriend, Josh Templeton, from the fallout. With only a letter of apology, she disappears, but not before confiding her secret to Josh’s brother, Austin.
When Austin resurfaces in her life years later, he brings the past to Mavis’s doorstep. Josh wants her back, Austin isn’t willing to surrender, and the path to happiness isn’t clear. Caught between both men, Mavis must choose between the brother for whom she broke her own heart, and the brother who picked up the pieces.
I LOVED YOU YESTERDAY is a heart-pounding reveal of best kept secrets. The truth is never easy, and neither is putting down this page turner. Fans of Nora Roberts and K.G. Fletcher will want to get a copy of I LOVED YOU YESTERDAY.
~Winner of the ASSOCIATION FOR WOMEN IN COMMUNICATIONS CLARION AWARD.~
EXCERPT:
Time was the enemy. Ten years had disappeared. Each day, each hour, each minute had ticked away, taking him further from Mavis and the love that blossomed among the wild California poppies in this very place so long ago. The memory crashed through his brain like a dream, as if perhaps it never really happened at all.
“Was it even real?” he whispered to the lifeless meadow. A lifetime had passed, each season bringing with it the fading edges of a memory, disintegrating at every corner.
Josh took slow deliberate steps through the overgrown brush, his hands skimming the tops of the dying grass. Nothing looked the same, but there was no mistaking the overwhelming rush of excitement reverberating throughout his body with each step forward. She was here. Her soul lingered in the heavy, damp air. Her essence caught up in the whistle of a songbird in the treetops above. You’re still here, Mavs. We’re still here.
The sun broke through the gray clouds, each ray illuminating the thicket surrounding him. Josh raised his face to the sun, the warmth penetrating his skin. He closed his eyes and grabbed on tightly to the memory the meadow held, willing each wild orange blossom to bloom in his mind. The ghost of her laughter wrapped tightly around him in the morning breeze, the joyous sound squeezing his heart. It hammered against his ribcage, threatening to smash its bone prison. Her name escaped his lips, the taste of her on his tongue as “Mavis…” caught in the wind and disappeared.
Those feelings for a first boyfriend are strong. They don't go away easily. It's one of the pieces I LOVE about Julie Navickas' new release- I LOVED YOU YESTERDAY. The main characters were first loves but life got in the way. Those feelings didn't just disappear but serve as a basis for a great romance novel!!
I LOVED YOU YESTERDAY is an emotional rollercoaster as Austin and Mavis reconnect. Even the secrets Mavis kept, couldn't keep them from imploding. I LOVED YOU YESTERDAY will keep you mesmerized as you read into the night. Don't miss your chance at this amazing Love Story!

Heroes. We have ideas about who is considered a hero. Marvel and DC movies feature amazing heroes, but there are ordinary people who become heroes. Police officers, Teachers, Fire lieutenants, or even the person next door. Sometimes things happen and they step up to save the day.
In Kelly Eason's latest book, CHOSEN BY THE FIRE, the heroine, Dana must do just that... she must save the town. Luckily for her, a hunky hot leather-wearing guy is by her side. After all, if you are saving a town, there should be some extra benefits!
CHOSEN BY FIRE has not only the hunky hottie but also some scary cannibal mutants. This story will keep you on the edge of your seat! Preorder today!!
Blurb:
She was an ordinary mortal woman…until she learned she was chosen at birth to kill.
Dana Elliott is no small-town girl. An unknown force compelled her to abandon her life in Chicago and move to a tiny town in the mountains of north Georgia. Now, a year later, she’s bored and frustrated with her zero social life and on the verge of quitting her college professor job and leaving town.
Then she meets Jerome Kendall, a gorgeous, motorcycle-riding, immortal hunk who is literally hotter-to-the-touch than any man she’s ever known. As a member of the Flame clan, Jerome can control fire and become invisible whenever he wants. But he desires only one thing – revenge for the death of his closest friend, Samuel.
Uriah, the evil leader of a gang of cannibal mutants who is kidnapping and caging humans at the bottom of a deep gorge, and the man who murdered Samuel, becomes the target of Jerome’s deadly revenge. Unfortunately, Jerome can’t kill Uriah himself but he’s stunned to discover that Dana, a beautiful, mortal woman, was destined at birth to be the only one who can kill Uriah.
After learning some shocking secrets about her and Jerome’s family, is Dana willing to take on the challenge of a violent and potentially lethal combat to kill the mutant leader? And can Jerome risk the life of the woman he loves to avenge his friend’s death?
CHOSEN BY FIRE will have you looking twice at every hunky man on a motorcycle who happens by. Curl up with it today!

Teen romance and Young Adult Romance often feature the theme of "finding oneself". The teen character wants to be popular or wants to fit in, only to discover that they are liked for who they are. This self discovery is at the heart of growing up as we strive to be less like our parents while still attempting to find out who we want to be.
In Nicole Sobon's latest release, THANKS FOR THE VENOM, the main character of Harley thought she knew who she was until an accident leads to her questioning everything she knew. This story is at heart a search for self. THANKS FOR THE VENOM features an amazingly strong heroine in Harley. She reminds me of Buffy Summers. Harley has the physical strength to take on the vampires but also the emotional strength to find love among the danger.
Blurb:
Harley Sanders has always known one certainty in life: Vampires suck.
As a student at the League, Harley is expected to protect the innocent from the undead, even if her methods might be considered reckless.
While out on a hunt, Harley finds herself face-to-face with the enemy, and in the midst of fighting, ends up becoming the one thing she’s been trained to kill.
A fact only made worse by the newest student of the League who has taken a keen interest in her out of the blue.
Vampire bite? Check.
Venom soaring through my veins? Check.
Annoying cute guy disrupting my life? Super check.
High school definitely bites.
THANKS FOR THE VENOM is a Buffy/Underworld Mash-up where Harley Sanders must face a wall of secrets…from her family, from her bosses, and from the one boy she’s interested in. With newfound powers and a bullseye on her back, she’s got to help the very people she’d been trained to kill. And you thought your high school experience was bad…You’ve got nothing on Harley!
EXCERPT:
“You don’t understand it now, but I am keeping you safe,” he insisted. “Trust me, if it wasn’t for me, you would have been dead by now. They’ve also kept you alive because they knew I would kill them if they hadn’t.”
“Oh, I’m sorry, is that supposed to make me feel better?”
I wanted to hate him. My goodness did I want to hate him. The problem was, no matter how much he had pissed me off, I couldn’t bring myself to write him off. He was a piece of crap for allowing me to be captured. But I had to believe there was still good beneath the boy who stood before me. It couldn’t have all been a façade, could it?
Don’t be an idiot, Harley.
I just wanted to be happy, and Drake had presented a possibility of something I had wanted for so long but refused to admit aloud. For so long, the idea of wanting to be with someone terrified me. Heck, a future with someone seemed to be a novel idea. Then this frustrating and wonderful boy had entered my life and threw it into utter chaos. It was exciting, and I hadn’t wanted to consider my life without him.
But I also knew I had to question how much of what he’d displayed with me was real.

But that wasn’t the only complication Mavis faced. When an unplanned pregnancy upends her life at seventeen, Mavis skips town to spare her boyfriend, Josh Templeton, from the fallout. With only a letter of apology, she disappears, but not before confiding her secret to Josh’s brother, Austin.
When Austin resurfaces in her life years later, he brings the past to Mavis’s doorstep. Josh wants her back, Austin isn’t willing to surrender, and the path to happiness isn’t clear. Caught between both men, Mavis must choose between the brother for whom she broke her own heart, and the brother who picked up the pieces.

Anger can lead to passion. Imagine two people arguing only to end in a deep kiss. More often than we'd like to imagine, when two people are passionate about something, the passion spills over into a relationship. They say that love and hate are much closer than we think.
In TAYLOR'S LAW, Ella and Jake are both passionate about the care of young Tessa. They both have thoughts on how she should be raised and question what the other person wants. This leads to many an argument between them and eventually leads to a passionate relationship. It's the addition of Tessa that brings the two of them together.
TAYLOR'S LAW is an award winning book filled with amazing characters and a compelling story. Readers will make their own judgement on the outcome and measure their belief's against the characters. The humor will keep them turning the pages, unable to pause until the end.
Blurb:
Tell me a secret and I’ll tell you a lie.
Ella Anderson adores her niece. Despite struggling to make ends meet, accepting her dying sister’s request she raise Tessa as her own is a no brainer. Until she receives a summons from a legal goliath on behalf of a wealthy stranger claiming paternity and, potentially, custody of her child.
Jake Taylor has been ripped off one too many times. Yet the letter from a woman claiming his cousin fathered her child feels real. His aunt and uncle are desperate for a grandchild. When the child’s aunt shows up in his office in place of the child’s mother, he smells fraud.
Secrets and lies bubble to the surface, threatening Ella and Jake’s growing attraction. In a minefield of divided loyalties, can Ella trust Jake to make the right decision about custody of Tessa?
Jennifer’s book is great for fans of contemporary romances where attraction blossoms into breath-stealing passion, where mutual respect leads lovers to also being friends, and where humour and tolerance enliven a deep and abiding love.
Jennifer likes to think her readers get occasional hints of the deep passion of a Nora Roberts or the unshakeable loyalty of a Grace Burrowes where love conquers loneliness, distrust and fear.
EXCERPT:
She strode towards Jake, indignation in every step. Rifling through her wallet she produced a driver’s license. The photo was unflattering but accurate, although she looked thinner in the face now.
“I’d like to see her letter, please.” The “please” had cost her. The fact she’d used it when she was angry and frightened, made Jake award her grudging respect. She wasn’t a coward.
“Do you have authority to speak on her behalf?”
“I have—had—power of attorney and enduring guardianship.” Her stricken expression said she understood the futility of her answer—both powers expired on the death of the person named. “I’m her executor.”
“We aren’t making a claim against her estate.” He wasn’t prepared to share the letter, a letter Eleanor might have written or dictated, until he’d researched Eleanor Anderson. “Do you have any other authority?”
“I have moral authority. If you even understand what that means.” She pushed a strand of hair behind her ears, drawing attention to the elegant line of her neck.
You’re in no position to accuse me of lacking moral authority.” Although Jake’s suspicions rested largely on the letter’s claim for money. She looked as if she’d like to say something but shut her mouth, her lips pressed firmly together. She smelled of honeysuckle and summer days. And he was as crazy as his uncle to be attracted by a woman who could be running an elaborate scam. “Her death does complicate the situation.”
“My niece has lost her mother, and I have lost my sister.” Her voice trembled. Either she was as accomplished a performer as her sister, or she was struggling to contain unspeakable distress. He’d refused to speak for weeks after his parents’ death in a light-plane crash. She exhaled a slow breath. “That’s more than a complication.”

Australian Jennifer Raines writes contemporary romances set mainly in Australia, but not exclusively – think Malta, Finland, New Zealand or ?. A dreamer and an optimist, her stories are a delicious cocktail of mutual respect, passion and loyalty because she still believes in happily-ever-afters. Jennifer loves those days when words flow and the joy of writing makes the hard slog worthwhile. She’s always made up stories about strangers in the street, in a café or strolling through an airport terminal; finding inspiration in snippets of conversation, news items and the sheer puzzle of human interactions.
Jennifer is a member of Romance Writers of Australia and is a three time finalist in the Emerald competition, 2017, 2018 (Taylor’s Law) and 2022. She’s a member of Romance Writers of New Zealand, winning the Pacific Hearts competition twice, including in 2019, with Grace Under Fire, the sequel to Taylor’s Law. She’s also a member of Romance Writers of America and has been a finalist in chapter competitions in 2019, 2020 and 2021 (Taylor’s Law).
Jennifer lives in inner-city Sydney, Australia, with the requisite number of partners (1) and animals (2). Her desk overlooks a park which nourishes her soul when she raises her head from her keyboard. She gets some of her best insights during long yin yoga poses or walking—anywhere. Jennifer adores historical romance but chose to write contemporary because she thought (wrongly) it needed less research.

Australian Jennifer Raines writes contemporary romances set mainly in Australia, but not exclusively – think Malta, Finland, New Zealand or ?. A dreamer and an optimist, her stories are a delicious cocktail of mutual respect, passion and loyalty because she still believes in happily-ever-afters. Jennifer loves those days when words flow and the joy of writing makes the hard slog worthwhile. She’s always made up stories about strangers in the street, in a café or strolling through an airport terminal; finding inspiration in snippets of conversation, news items and the sheer puzzle of human interactions.
