 Do you love a good mystery? How about one ala Stephen King? Author A.D. Brazeau has written an amazing story that recalls the danger of the small town in IT. IN THE SHADOW OF ROOTS AND WINGS takes place in a mysterious small town as a group gathers for a friend's funeral. Everly had escaped Splendid but now coming back, she will risk more than awkward reconnections with friends she walked away from. Splendid has many secrets. IN THE SHADOW OF ROOTS AND WINGS is a great read at any time of the year but is especially wonderful around Halloween, where the veil between the worlds is thin. IN THE SHADOWS OF ROOTS AND WINGS releases on September 30. So don't miss your chance to grab this new classic! Blurb: Everly Palmer swore she’d never return to Splendid, Colorado—a town too perfect to be real and too haunted to forget. But when news of a childhood friend’s sudden death reaches her, she’s drawn back to this unusual place. Founded by her ancestor, Splendid is a town frozen in time, its beauty unmarred, its secrets buried deep. Everly has spent her life trying to decipher the cryptic nightmares that plague her, and now, back in the town she once fled, she begins to suspect they were never just dreams. As the funeral passes and the shadows lengthen, Everly stumbles upon a forgotten grave and a chilling truth: Splendid’s perfection is not a gift, but a curse. Old ties with her estranged friend Rose fray under the weight of buried memories and sinister revelations. The deeper Everly digs, the more she realizes Splendid was never meant to be escaped. In a town where nature doesn’t obey natural law and happiness comes at a terrible cost, Everly must choose—unearth the truth and risk being swallowed whole or surrender to the darkness that’s waited for her return. In the Shadow of Roots and Wings is a suspenseful mystery that meets magical realism, reminiscent of The Secret History by Donna Tartt and The Maidens by Alex Michaelides, and is set in the fictional town of Splendid, Colorado. Author A. D. Brazeau’s latest mystery grips readers on the first page and never lets go. BUY LINKS: |

I've always been up front about my love of Cowboys. These guys are the hardest working and the nicest ones around. They love their mamas and respect nature, plus they know how to fill out blue jeans! Boy, was I ever excited when Author Isobel Reed finally wrote about a hard working cowboy for her Love Burns series. Wade is a wonderful example of a sexy cowboy. He's charming and wholesome. Also Ms. Reed has paired Wade up with "old-maid" Riley, a young woman who has lived a sheltered life.
GIDDY-UP is an opposites attract and small town romance filled with compelling characters and witty dialogue. Her stories keep you on the edge of your chair and always feature a happily ever after but her books also feature fun secondary characters and mishaps that push the romance along! Now available in ebook and print, GIDDY-UP will be your new favorite read.
Blurb:
Riley has spent a lifetime playing it safe, then she meets Wade—a cowboy who makes her want to play with fire. Will she finally find her voice and ask for what she’s never dared to before, or will fear drive her to run once again?
Riley took growing up sheltered to a whole new level. She’d never so much as stepped out of Silver Valley. Now at thirty, she was taking the leap. In a new town. With a new job. And a new boss that made it hard to breathe, let alone use actual full sentences around. When hot cowboy, Wade Evans, flashed those dimples her way, she knew she was in trouble, she just had no idea how much.
Working seven days a week meant Wade didn’t have much time for a social life. Let alone a love life. Not that he didn’t want one. He did. Badly. So when Riley, the new maid, shows up, he doesn’t shy away from making his interest known after it’s made clear she feels it too. There’s only one problem though, she keeps running from him. And he has no idea why. Now he has to decide whether to cut his losses, or fight for the one woman he’s been waiting all his life for.
Fans of heart-stopping cowboy romances like Wild Cowboy Ways by Carolyn Brown or A Cowboy to Remember by Rebekah Weatherspoon will find the same exciting happily ever after in Giddy-Up by Isobel Reed. This best-selling author is known for her sarcastic dialogue and small towns filled with sassy characters. Saddle Up for a wild ride!
EXCERPT:
“You’re biting your lip, petal.” His gaze darkened. “I’m trying to decide whether you want me to kiss you or get you the fuck out of here.”
This was it. Time to be brave.
Her mouth opened and for a second nothing came out. When she did speak, her words were hurried. So fast out of fear she’d change her mind.
“I don’t want you to get me the fuck out of here.”
He got the message. Loud and clear. Because within mere seconds, Wade’s head dipped, and his expert lips captured hers with ease.
This was nothing like when Tommy Anderson smacked her lips and ran away in fifth grade. Her one and only kiss. And it certainly wasn’t like in all those rom coms she watched, when the couple exchange sweet smiles before tenderly embracing under the starlit sky.
This felt so much different. Dangerous. Overwhelming. Riley’s neck stretched back as Wade pushed her mouth wider. As his tongue slid inside, a noise she didn’t recognize vibrated down her throat. Was that her?
She didn’t have time to care if it was as his hand went from cupping her cheek to fingering her hair. He was directing her, angling her, so he could get deeper. Every swipe of his tongue making her insides heat as more sounds filled the night. Charging the air and making her body shake.
Too soon, he pulled back. But he wasn’t done with her. His teeth clasped her lower lip as choppy breaths warmed her skin.
“Fuck,” he hissed.
Oh no. Was that a good fuck, or a bad fuck? Riley’s lust drunk brain cells started to wake. As the haze cleared, she was left feeling self-conscious. She’d never done this before, what if she was bad at it?
“You taste so goddamn good.” Wade tugged at her lip. Pulling her into him again. A moment later, his mouth was back to covering hers.
It was a good fuck!

Wouldn't you love to have a person you can share your troubles with? One that supports you and wants you to succeed?
Award Winning author Jennifer Raines' latest release features this wonderful partnership, but it happened unexpectedly. Beatriz and Casildo end up in the same apartment, when neither was expecting the other. As they are forced together, they find that each other is the perfect person for them... but their dreams may not allow them to be together.
An Accidental Flatmate is an emotional journey as Beatriz learns to stand strong against her family's wishes and Casildo finds a way to reach for his dreams. Author Jennifer Raines' stories always feature realistic romances with characters who could be your neighbor or sister. The stories are deep and focus on the positive message of what is truly family.
An Accidental Flatmate is the fifth book in the Choosing Family series about making your own family, not just through blood but through common values and love. You don't have to have read the other books in the series but why wouldn't you want to? This series is filled with laughter, joy and most of all- love! Both ebook and paperback is available today!
Blurb:
Join award winning author Jennifer Raines in this story combining heat with heart, as two gentle souls find a champion in each other until their love is threatened by promises they made.
With her father injured at work, Beatriz Gomez willingly shoulders the financial responsibility for her family. Now, bills are mounting, a colleague stole her ideas to win the promotion she desperately needs, and her sisters blame her for everything. Bea needs time out, so moves into her best friend’s temporarily empty apartment. Then Casildo, a professional acquaintance, walks in the door. He’s outraged on her behalf, and that’s … a lovely surprise. But Beatriz has promised to go home.
Casildo Hariri knows this is his last chance. He’s earmarked every second and every cent in the next few months to launching his long-dreamed of textile design company. So, he doesn’t have time for the luscious, talented, unavailable Beatriz who’s in residence at the apartment he thought was empty. Except she’s been wronged. Someone needs to encourage her to rebel, and he’s on the spot. After all, the apartment has two bedrooms, although it doesn’t take long to discover one is more than enough. To his secret delight, Beatriz champions his dreams. That’s before she detonates them by telling him why she has to go home.
When Beatriz is cheated out of a job she deserves, Casildo encourages her to rebel, until she breaks the rules by breaking his heart. Can they find a way together while pursuing separate dreams?
EXCERPT:
“I didn’t get the promotion. Jackson Smithers did.” Bea revealed the name of the colleague who’d brought the situation at home to a head.
“Al’ama. He’s a jerk. You’re worth six of him. What idiot promoted him?” His defence was so unexpected; she almost dropped her cup a second time.
“Jackson’s quick to announce other people’s ideas and pretend innocence when challenged.” Bea had thought Jackson’s co-opting of other people’s ideas was the result of enthusiasm, until she’d started to see a deliberate pattern.
“But you have no smoking gun.”
“In an office where sharing ideas is part of the creative muscle, plagiarism is hard to prove. Plus, he takes advantage of being tall, white, and male to undermine harder-working men, women, and this daughter of Chilean refugees.” She stumbled to a halt—she hadn’t shared her suspicions with anyone.
“No positive discrimination in your workplace?”
“Only at entry level.” She couldn’t hide her indignation. “For promotion, we believe in a meritocracy. Funny what that delivers.”
“Jackson stole your ideas.” Casildo believed her, and relief rolled through her.
“Yes.”
“Get another job.”
“In the current climate, I’d have to take a pay cut to start over with someone else. Jackson has a mile-wide streak of meanness he hides from management. And I don’t trust him not to gaslight me.”
In her head, she’d already committed the extra income from her promotion to cover the upcoming increase in her parents’ variable mortgage rate. Tomorrow, she’d be back to looking at ads for waitresses or bar staff.
“Jackson’s won. What’s his gripe with you?” He studied her, his assessment far too male, and she resisted the instinct to check that a button in a strategic location hadn’t come undone. “Did you refuse to go to bed with him?”
“He didn’t get that far,” she snapped at the injustice of Jackson’s vindictiveness. “For Pete’s sake, I refused a drink with him.”
“Let’s rewind. What did missing out on a promotion have to do with you deciding to flee your family home?” His voice had dropped, deepened, and was mesmerising in its gentle encouragement. “Tell Uncle Cas all about it.”
“You’re not my uncle.”

“In an office where sharing ideas is part of the creative muscle, plagiarism is hard to prove. Plus, he takes advantage of being tall, white, and male to undermine harder-working men, women, and this daughter of Chilean refugees.” She stumbled to a halt—she hadn’t shared her suspicions with anyone.
“No positive discrimination in your workplace?”
“Only at entry level.” She couldn’t hide her indignation. “For promotion, we believe in a meritocracy. Funny what that delivers.”
“Jackson stole your ideas.” Casildo believed her, and relief rolled through her.
“Yes.”
“Get another job.”
“In the current climate, I’d have to take a pay cut to start over with someone else. Jackson has a mile-wide streak of meanness he hides from management. And I don’t trust him not to gaslight me.”
In her head, she’d already committed the extra income from her promotion to cover the upcoming increase in her parents’ variable mortgage rate. Tomorrow, she’d be back to looking at ads for waitresses or bar staff.
“Jackson’s won. What’s his gripe with you?” He studied her, his assessment far too male, and she resisted the instinct to check that a button in a strategic location hadn’t come undone. “Did you refuse to go to bed with him?”
“He didn’t get that far,” she snapped at the injustice of Jackson’s vindictiveness. “For Pete’s sake, I refused a drink with him.”
“Let’s rewind. What did missing out on a promotion have to do with you deciding to flee your family home?” His voice had dropped, deepened, and was mesmerising in its gentle encouragement. “Tell Uncle Cas all about it.”
“You’re not my uncle.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Australian Jennifer Raines writes contemporary romances set mainly, but not exclusively, in Australia – 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 fell in love with romance as a teenager. Starting with historical romance. Everything in the school library and then a treasured collection of Georgette Heyer, hard copies, paperbacks and ebooks. Comfort food, she calls them, like Vegemite toast, for those times when she feels low. Her library of comfort food has grown over the years but Georgette Heyer was an early star, under the blankets after lights out using a torch.
Jennifer is a member of Romance Writers of Australia. Three times a finalist in the Emerald competition, including in 2017 (Common Cause, renamed Lela’s Choice), 2018 (Taylor’s Law) and 2022 (Quinn, by Design – Choosing Family Book 2). 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 won the contemporary romance section in the 2020 Orange Rose Contest for Planting Hope and was second overall. While rarely entering them these days, Jennifer values competitions for the constructive, honest, not always comfortable feedback they provide.
In 2023 Jennifer placed second in the Romance Writers of New Zealand Koru Best First Book with Taylor’s Law.
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 conversations, news items and the sheer puzzle of human interactions.
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 ideas during long yin yoga poses or walking—including around the block. While Jennifer adores historical romance, she chose to write contemporary because she thought (wrongly) it needed less research while she was holding down a full-time job.

EXCERPT:
“Well, this is embarrassing.” Khaos sat on one of the remarkably small plastic chairs that sat around the sad workroom table.
“For you? I wholeheartedly agree.” Desiree moved around the brightly lit room like a sprite opening cupboards and smelling tea packets. “What strange places offices are.”
“When you’re finished investigating how the muggles live, maybe you can focus and tell me what the fuck you’re doing here.” Khaos watched her open a drawer and finger the unseen contents. She was completely unbothered by him, as she was by most people.
“I wanted to see how you are. Fosette called me and said she and Lucian were out searching for the descendants of a witch who might be able to help you and Madame de Pompadour”—she looked at Khaos then, her eyebrows raised—“find some magical jewels?” The entire statement was a question.
“Yes, but I told them to cut it short and go home. The Madame and I are no longer acquainted.”
“Figures.” Desiree sank into the seat opposite him. “I mean, you’re usually not acquainted with anyone for long. Although, it’s a shame. I think I would have liked to meet Madame de Pompadour.”
“Yes, well, as you’ve already pointed out …” Khaos moved his hand in the air, not bothering to finish his sentence.
“Which brings me to my second reason for seeking you out.” Desiree stopped looking around the room to level him with an emerald-green stare. “When are you going to go home?”

With her father injured at work, Beatriz Gomez willingly shoulders the financial responsibility for her family. Now, bills are mounting, a colleague stole her ideas to win the promotion she desperately needs, and her sisters blame her for everything.

Dare to dream... close your eyes and imagine who brings a smile to your face. Is it your children? A parent? A friend? or is it the one person who loves you with all your heart? Many of us have at least one person we would walk through fire for. They are the person of our heart but they may not have been the person we imagined we'd end up with. Maybe you had to wait longer to find them or maybe you haven't even found them yet and are still dreaming.
Authors dream of their characters and their stories. We see them in our mind's eye and even then sometimes they don't do what we think that they will. They go off on their own. They find a new partner, a new romance. In Sydney Scott's latest release- PLANNING ON HAPPILY EVER AFTER- her heroine dreams of her wedding and her husband. She knows what she wants but fate has different plans.
Do you love small town romances? Opposite attract stories? PLANNING ON HAPPILY EVER AFTER is both of those and so much more! This romance will have you thinking about your own dream person and your dream wedding. While PLANNING ON HAPPILY EVER AFTER is the second book in the Sunset Cove series and features some of the characters from book one, it can be read as a standalone. But two books make it more wonderful! Get your copy today!
Blurb:
Return to Sunset Cove…where small town romance and family responsibilities collide. Can a wedding planner create her own perfect romance?
Holly Baker has spent most of her life obsessed with love and finding her very own happily ever after. The perpetually optimistic wedding planner always thought she would end up with someone exactly like her: cheery and always looking for the silver lining in the storm clouds. Little did Holly know that she would literally run into one of those storm clouds in the form of Ben, her newest client’s son.
Ben Williams has always shied away from socializing, preferring to stay in the comfort of his home and design video games. When his mother asks him to help her plan her wedding, he can’t say no to the one person who has always been there for him. Fortunately, the beautiful, sunny wedding planner he can’t stop thinking about not only makes socializing easy, but also makes it something he looks forward to.
As Holly and Ben get acquainted, the two are drawn to each other more and more. Can a perpetually optimistic lover of love convince a grumpy game designer to give their relationship a shot, or will Ben decide that it’s game over before they even begin?
If you love The Sweetheart Fix by Miranda Liasson or The Bluff by Emma St. Claire, you’ll fall for Holly and Ben in Planning on Happily Ever After as they find love despite their differences. Author Sydney Scott weaves a romance sure to get the small-town gossips whispering. Snuggle in to read today!
EXCERPT:
“Holy shit,” Holly whispered to herself, though by the slight widening of Ben’s hypnotic gray eyes, he heard her too.
She swallowed thickly, a strange lump of surprise, confusion, and longing lodged in her throat. Trish’s son was grumpy-no-sweets guy, the same guy she had been kind of obsessing over the last couple of weeks. Holly didn’t think she would run into him again, yet here he was. The universe did have a strange sense of humor, giving her yet another chance to open herself up to a new possibility.
Determined to fully take advantage this time and not take no for an answer, Holly took a moment to appreciate the man before her. His athletic frame was housed in a navy sweater and dark jeans that hugged his muscles beautifully, his hair was perfectly styled just like the last two times they’d encountered one another, but this time he wasn’t scowling. He looked as surprised as she did, but even with that stunned expression, he still looked damn good. Holly took another long look before glancing over at Trish, balking at the woman’s impish smile. Oh god, how long have I been staring at him?
Holly shook her head and tried to get back into professional mode, wiping her hand on her jeans as subtly as possible to remove the sweat that had formed there e, then offered it to him. “Nice to meet you, Ben.”
Hesitantly, he grabbed her hand and pumped her arm firmly but with more care than she would have expected from a stranger. Ben had a strong grip and his hand was warm despite his having just come in from the cooler weather outside. Does he feel the same tingling on his skin that I feel on mine? Is this normal?

Return to Sunset Cove…where small town romance and family responsibilities collide. Can a wedding planner create her own perfect romance?
Holly Baker has spent most of her life obsessed with love and finding her very own happily ever after. The perpetually optimistic wedding planner always thought she would end up with someone exactly like her: cheery and always looking for the silver lining in the storm clouds. Little did Holly know that she would literally run into one of those storm clouds in the form of Ben, her newest client’s son.
Ben Williams has always shied away from socializing, preferring to stay in the comfort of his home and design video games. When his mother asks him to help her plan her wedding, he can’t say no to the one person who has always been there for him. Fortunately, the beautiful, sunny wedding planner he can’t stop thinking about not only makes socializing easy, but also makes it something he looks forward to.
As Holly and Ben get acquainted, the two are drawn to each other more and more. Can a perpetually optimistic lover of love convince a grumpy game designer to give their relationship a shot, or will Ben decide that it’s game over before they even begin?
If you love The Sweetheart Fix by Miranda Liasson or The Bluff by Emma St. Claire, you’ll fall for Holly and Ben in Planning on Happily Ever After as they find love despite their differences. Author Sydney Scott weaves a romance sure to get the small-town gossips whispering. Snuggle in to read today!
EXCERPT:
“Holy shit,” Holly whispered to herself, though by the slight widening of Ben’s hypnotic gray eyes, he heard her too.
She swallowed thickly, a strange lump of surprise, confusion, and longing lodged in her throat. Trish’s son was grumpy-no-sweets guy, the same guy she had been kind of obsessing over the last couple of weeks. Holly didn’t think she would run into him again, yet here he was. The universe did have a strange sense of humor, giving her yet another chance to open herself up to a new possibility.
Determined to fully take advantage this time and not take no for an answer, Holly took a moment to appreciate the man before her. His athletic frame was housed in a navy sweater and dark jeans that hugged his muscles beautifully, his hair was perfectly styled just like the last two times they’d encountered one another, but this time he wasn’t scowling. He looked as surprised as she did, but even with that stunned expression, he still looked damn good. Holly took another long look before glancing over at Trish, balking at the woman’s impish smile. Oh god, how long have I been staring at him?
Holly shook her head and tried to get back into professional mode, wiping her hand on her jeans as subtly as possible to remove the sweat that had formed there e, then offered it to him. “Nice to meet you, Ben.”
Hesitantly, he grabbed her hand and pumped her arm firmly but with more care than she would have expected from a stranger. Ben had a strong grip and his hand was warm despite his having just come in from the cooler weather outside. Does he feel the same tingling on his skin that I feel on mine? Is this normal?

Two broken hearts, one charming small town, and a few sparks may be the recipe for love…
Whitney Kerr is at a crossroads—literally. After jumping behind the wheel to flee Savannah, and a bad breakup, this Southern Belle is in search of a fresh start. Stopping in a charming smalltown seems like the perfect place to catch her breath and find herself. It’s too bad a certain fireman with a crooked grin and kind eyes could have her plans of self-discovery going up in a puff of smoke.
Trevor Mays is at a crossroads—figuratively. Still grieving the loss of his father, he was unceremoniously dumped by his fiancée, who quickly rebounded with his work rival. Just as he thinks things can’t get worse, he loses the captain’s promotion—to the man who stole his ex. He’s about to give up on ever smiling again when a curly-haired beauty with curves for days stumbles into his hometown.
With some help from the residents of Pinegrove, this pair will discover that much like the perfect fireworks show, love only needs a spark.
Fans of Sherryl Woods’ Sweet Magnolias series and Sarah Adams’s When in Rome series will fall in love with Libby Kay’s sweet fireman romance. Ms. Kay’s engaging, cozy stories fill your heart and head with possibilities and will quickly become your new favorite!
EXCERPT:
A cluster of fireworks popped overhead, building to the show’s climax. Whitney jumped in Trevor’s arms when a silver shimmer ball exploded overhead, sending metallic confetti fluttering to earth. “I’ve got you,” he whispered into her ear, shamelessly sniffing the lilac of her perfume.
“I know you do,” she said, wiggling closer still. If she kept this up, he was about to have a very not-PG issue spring up.
“This is my favorite fireworks show of my whole life,” he said, drawing her attention from the sky.
“But it’s not over?” She raised an eyebrow, her eyes sparkling.
“Tonight is the best because you’re here. I was thinking about it, on the walk out. We used to be here at the same time, maybe sitting just feet apart, but we never found each other.”
Whitney’s face softened, and she slowly spun in his arms so they were facing each other, her legs tucked under herself. “I thought of that, too.” She reached out and cupped his cheek, smoothing over his stubble with her thumb, finally poking his chin divot. “It’s kind of magic, isn’t it? Finding each other after all these years of circling.”
“It kind of feels like fate,” he agreed.
