Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense
Trope: Bad Girl/Good Guy
Release Date: July 9, 2024

BLURB

Toxic: very harmful or unpleasant in an invasive or sinister way.

One word. Two consonants. Five letters. Two people.

Quinn James Carter met Solei Shayne Rodriguez his senior year of high school.

At first, he tried to stay away from her. But the heart wants what the heart wants, and if there were two people in this world who were meant to be together, it was Shayne and him.

Sadly, life doesn’t work out like you plan.

A single, brash, knee-jerk reaction has them both deciding that their relationship is never going to work. A cop and a notorious criminal’s sister can’t have a happily ever after, can they?

Consequently, they go their separate ways.

They live their lives.

And time after time, they come right back to each other, giving the term ‘toxic relationship’ a new meaning.

Anger, jealousy, hurt, and pain run hand in hand with their persistent need to stay in each other’s lives, no matter if it’s in a healthy way or not.

But eventually, time catches up to them.

Fate decides their path for them, and one of them has to wind up nearly dead for them to admit that they can make it work if they want to. They only have to try.

COVER REVEAL – For Better or Hearse by Ava Hunter

Jul 8

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Ava Hunter has revealed the gorgeous cover for For Better or Hearse!

Releasing: October 3, 2024

Cover Design: Leni Kauffman

A sexy enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/grumpy romance from Amazon top 50 bestselling author Ava Hunter

Ash Keller prefers to keep her heart colder than the morgue. Having sworn off love after a disastrous breakup, she’s learned to thrive in her new career as a death doula. When her millionaire client, Augustus Fox, asks her to accompany him on an all-expenses paid trip to mend family ties and fulfill last wishes, she agrees.

There’s just one nail in her coffin.

Nathaniel Whitford—her client’s absurdly gorgeous, grumpy doctor of a grandson—is along for the trip. A man who has hated her guts since she crashed his wedding years ago. It’ll be a miracle if she survives this vacation without being tossed into a volcano.

Still, Ash refuses to let Nathaniel’s smug smirk and rippling pectorals take her focus away from her death doula-ing duties. She can survive two weeks in paradise with his offensively handsome face. But when falling coconuts and family drama threaten to derail the vacation, Ash and Nathaniel strike a deal: Bury their animosity and make the vacation perfect for Augustus.

Soon, a tentative bond—and mutual attraction—forms between the unlikely pair. With every tropical misadventure and steamy late-night hookup, Ash realizes there’s more to Nathaniel than his barbed banter and uptight façade. Suddenly love seems more complicated than death. And as the trip comes to an end, Ash must decide whether she’ll keep her heart six feet under or risk it all…for better or hearse.

BLURB

Diego digs up dirt for the cartel, dirt they use to ensure business runs smoothly. Only this time, he’s assigned to the perfect rich family with the perfect rich life: a successful lawyer husband, two well-behaved kids, and a trophy wife.

It’s a life someone who grew up in the streets could never have.

But as Diego watches the family, he begins to notice things. There’s a nervousness to the children. The wife has an obsessive focus on maintaining her body. And tension rises every time the husband comes home.

Until one explosive night when it becomes obvious their life isn’t so perfect.

Diego witnesses what unfolds and becomes more and more fixated on the wife, Hannah. With every revealed secret, his obsession grows. Because she really is perfect to him.

Hannah belongs with Diego. Whether she wants to or not. Her and her kids.

And no one gets to touch what belongs to him.

Wicked Defenders is a series of mafia adjacent standalone romances, containing morally grey heroes that are sweet caregivers to those they love but don’t hold back on anyone else. These stories include dark themes and tragic scenes, but each book ends with an HEA.

EXCERPTS

Excerpt 1

Diego’s hand twitched with the need to wrap around her stomach and pull her in tighter.

“Hey, neighbor,” he whispered in her ear.

Hannah’s body shuddered against him, and his mouth watered. He wanted so badly to nibble her ear, then her neck, but he knew he’d struggle to stop at just that.

“Enjoying the show?” he asked.

Her gaze remained fixed on the window, staring inside at her husband with someone else.

“Why don’t you interrupt them?”

She shook her head, her hair brushing against his cheek. “It doesn’t matter.” Her voice was so low, the breeze almost snatched it away.

“No?” Diego’s hand snaked out, sliding along her belly. All his worst intentions rose to the forefront of his mind when, instead of jerking away, her legs shifted and her back pressed fully against his chest. “And what about you, Hannah? Do you get to do the same as your husband?”

She shook her head again, the scent of her hair almost minty, maybe something with eucalyptus.

“That doesn’t seem right. How about taking some revenge?” He breathed in that sharp scent of her, the intensity almost intoxicating. “Let me take care of you, mami.”

She let out the smallest gasp as her body shuddered against his again. “That wouldn’t be right.”

“I think it would be delicious.” He gave in to his need, brushing his lips over her shoulder. Her head shifted, providing him better access, and his body shook as he held back from giving in to temptation.

“Let me touch you,” he begged.

Excerpt 2

Hannah’s gaze shifted to his tattooed hand. “I hadn’t heard your motorcycle before today.” Her eyes roamed over the bike as if allowed to now that she’d mentioned it.

Diego smiled. “Angling for a ride?” he asked.

Her cheeks flushed, and the thought that she really was toyed with his mind.

“I couldn’t,” she said, her voice low, hesitant.

This woman wanted a chance to feel alive. Diego was tempted to toss her over his shoulder and give it to her.

“I guess not,” he said instead. “No telling what your husband would do if he came home to see you clinging to me and enjoying every minute of it.”

Her face lifted, a sliver of pain slipping over it almost too quickly to catch. She looked over her shoulder. “I should go.”

When she stepped back, he reached out, not sure what he wanted to do, but knowing that making her flinch wasn’t it.

Diego let his hand drop and backed away. “I’d never hurt you, mami.”

Her eyes flicked to his, but in a twitching way, and then she ran home.

That was safer for them both. Much safer than what he wanted to do. He’d been sent to blackmail her husband, not to steal the man’s wife for himself.

AUTHOR BIO

A former numbers cruncher, Amber Warden left the accounting world to write emotional and steamy contemporary romance instead. Her main hope is for those reading her stories to take away the feeling that they are more than enough for anyone.

One String

Lighter Ones

Aleatha Romig

Release Date: July 4

Tropes: Second-chance, enemies-to-lovers, fake-date, little-sister’s-best-friend, forbidden, stand-alone contemporary romance.

Blurb

Ricky Dunn is the equivalent to a splinter under my fingernail.

Romantic?

Right.

He’s the older brother of my best friend, and no matter how hard either of us try, we can’t seem to avoid each other. The problem started on the night my best friend and I graduated from high school. The party was joyous, a celebration.

That night, I willingly gave Ricky a part of me—more than the kiss we told others about.

Our deal was simple.

No strings.

Ricky kept his side of the bargain.

Years have passed.

Being from the same small town and crossing paths, I haven’t noticed how handsome he’s become or the way he’s filled out.

If you ask me, he hasn’t noticed me either.

Until he calls.

I’m working for a finance company, one he’s now interviewing for.

“Marilyn, will you be my date for the dinner with the partners? It’s only for one date and no strings.”

The problem is my heart hasn’t kept my side of our bargain.

I want at least one string.

Do I agree to his proposal, or do I turn him down flat?

Have you been Aleatha’d?

Check out Aleatha’s 2024 Lighter One—ONE STRING—second-chance, enemies-to-lovers, fake-date, little-sister’s-best-friend, forbidden, stand-alone contemporary romance.

Faith

Graduating from college is bittersweet. I’ve accomplished my dreams, obtained my teaching degree, and am ready to find my dream job. However, I never realized how difficult or stressful it would be to find a position.

That’s why I jump at the chance to visit Chad, one of my best friends, on base in California.

It was meant to be two weeks of catching up and putting all thoughts of job hunting out of my mind. Little did I know those two weeks would change my life and alter the course we were both on.

Chad

The day she agrees to join me in California is one of the happiest days of my life. Having her with me gives me the taste of home I’ve been craving, but deep down, it’s more than that. She’s important to me, more than just my friend, and my closest friend’s twin sister.

Spending my nights with her has done nothing but reinforce this feeling I get when I’m with her. I know we said we’d keep things light, but she’s making it so damn hard not to want more.

Then I get stationed overseas. Everything changes in the blink of an eye, and I’m not just talking about our jobs or the fact we’re suddenly thousands of miles apart. Call it fate or destiny or just pure luck, but it’s beneath the desert sun that finally our future becomes clear.

College is over, and Emma’s supposed to know what she’s doing. Her overbearing mother thinks she knows: law school and then the family firm. Too bad Emma doesn’t agree.

Meanwhile, her best friend Kim wants to set her up with the new guy in Kim’s office. This is a problem. Patrick is more alluring than Emma wants to admit—infuriatingly so.

Stuck between casebooks and a man who can’t seem to make up his mind, Emma jumps ship and heads for a summer study abroad in Ireland. Unfortunately, Ireland doesn’t make things any clearer, especially when she finds herself in bed with cute and studious Alex.

In the wake of her rebellions, Emma is left grasping for a sense of belonging.

Whatever she’s doing, and wherever she’s doing it, Emma will have to embrace the messiness of getting to know herself. Maybe for the first time.

Five sons, their perfect matches, and our family grows bigger every year. But this is our story—of how we met, fell, and grew our empire. This is the story of how we discovered the magic.

Lena

Stanley Riggins stole my heart back in high school. Our love blossomed amidst the chaos of life, surviving every challenge that came our way.

We married young, determined to face the world together. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat, because what we built wasn’t just a life, it’s a home—for us and our five wonderful sons.

Now that they have incredible wives of their own, they’ve given us a lively bunch of grandchildren, and our lives are filled with more love and laughter than ever before.

Stanley

From the moment our eyes locked, I knew Lena was the girl for me.

I finally felt the magic the Riggins men always talked about. Through all the ups and downs, our bond only grew stronger. We started a business and then a family. I couldn’t be prouder of our boys and the lives they’ve built with the women who love them as much as we do.

Having Lena by my side as we watch our love continue through the next generation is the greatest reward of all. It’s a true testament to the enduring bond we forged in those high school hallways. Year after year, and breath by breath, she’s still the one.

He was in fine form until life—and love—threw him for a loop…

Declan Doyle is ready for a change. He’s finally going to put his couch-surfing, job-hopping, responsibility-free days behind him.

There’s only one way to find out…

AUTHOR BIO

Shannyn Schroeder is the author of The O’Leary Family series, The O’Malley Family series, and The Doyle Family series, contemporary romances centered around large Irish-American families in Chicago. The Hot & Nerdy series is about nerdy college friends finding love. And her Daring Divorcees series follows a group of middle-aged divorcees getting back into the dating scene.

Under the pen name Sloane Steele, the Counterfeit Capers series released in 2021. This Leverage-inspired heist romance series follows a group of criminals who come together as a team to right some wrongs. They accomplish this by stealing art from criminals worse than them and replacing it with forgeries.

Shannyn grew up in a Northside Chicago neighborhood filled with big Irish families like the ones she writes about. Her characters get drunk, say f*ck, and eat a ton of pizza as they try to navigate life and love. Whether it’s a big family of siblings unable to mind their own business or a group of friends who are thicker than thieves or a crew of criminals learning how to work together as a team, readers can relate to her characters and cheer for them.

When this editor and former English teacher isn’t wrangling her three almost-grown kids or drawing from her own Irish heritage for writing, she watches a ton of TV and loves to bake cookies.

Blurb:

Lorelai Anderson got under my skin years ago and I’d never been able to get her out.

When I found out she had a crush on me I turned into the biggest dick around. I did what I did to keep her away. I knew I wasn’t the man she needed, and her brother agreed.

Then I left town to play hockey which was both a blessing and a curse.

When I got signed to the Dominators and returned to Vancouver, I suppose I got what I deserved. Not only did Lorelai hate my guts, but she had a boyfriend. So, I kept my distance from her, until her friend started dating one of my teammates. I had no choice but to come around. It got worse when I got the invitation to her brother’s wedding. There was no way I could back out.

As my luck would have it Lorelai and I end up on the same flight to Hawaii and that’s when I find out she is very single. I also find out that her ex is going to be at this wedding and despite having a new girlfriend, the cheating jerk is harassing her to get back together with him. When she breaks down in tears, I do that only thing I can think of. I make a split-second decision to be her boyfriend for the wedding and get Hugo off her back. I figure it’s helping her out but for me it’s the perfect opportunity to convince her I’m not the same guy I used to be.

I want her to know I’m the man she deserves and I’m going to put everything on the line to get her to be mine.
