Blurb

My father sold me to the Shadow King. 

I would kill for a normal life, but my father took a reckless gamble, and I must pay the price. His betrayal forces me to live in Faerie with king Damian and grow my magic, even though it’s forbidden.

Now, I must learn to protect myself from the nightmares, dreams, and fantasies that govern this mysterious realm.

If I don’t, my kingdom will fall.

***

Nothing will get in the way of my duty, not even a witty beauty like Penelope Darcy.

I’m in ruins, and the Shadow Court, too. The rules of the curse are simple. They draw our enemies away and keep us safe.

For her, I’d break all the rules, but I’ve got to tear her kingdom apart to survive.

This novel is a full-length fantasy romance with a happy ending, and though it’s part of an interconnected series, it also stands alone.

Beauty and the Beast and Hades and Persephone collide in this enemies-to-lovers, forced-proximity fantasy romance. The mysterious Shadow King is hot as sin, and the secrets of his world will bring any mortals to their knees. Slow-burn. 18+. Full list of triggers inside.

RELEASE BLITZ – Wild Ride (Rookie Rebels #9) by Kate Meader


Title: Wild Ride
Series: Rookie Rebels #9
Author: Kate Meader


Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Hockey Romance, Single Mom
Older Woman/Younger Man, He Falls First
Release Date: March 26, 2024
 

BLURB
 
Chicago Rebels hockey player Dex O’Malley has been a naughty boy … again.
 
Only his latest stunt isn’t quite like when he was caught with his pants down at a nightclub or was cited for drag-racing on Lake Shore Drive or even that time he said a few critical things about his teammates on a hockey podcast. Oops. This time, Dex is in real trouble, the kind that could get him kicked off the team and out of the league. And that cannot happen. Hockey is the only thing he’s ever been good at. The only thing he cares about. He’ll do whatever it takes to rehab his rep, even if it means cleaning up dog poop and suffering the steely-eyed disapproval of his new no-nonsense “boss” at the animal shelter, Ashley Adams.
 
Ashley has enough on her plate between her low-paying job, her high-maintenance family, and a love life she’s trying to resurrect after her divorce. She’s already mom to an amazing nine-year-old; the last thing she needs is mothering a celebrity volunteer with more money than sense. But the troublemaking f-boy needs Ashley to sign off on his good deeds so he can get back to what he does best: lighting up lamps both on and off the ice. And while a guy like that could never interest her mind, it seems her body is not on the same page. Sure, Dex O’Malley is too young, too hot, too flighty for Ashley to take seriously, but maybe a brief ride on the wild side might fit the bill …
 
Only that’s not enough for Dex. What happens when this notorious player decides the older, single mom is the hottest woman he’s ever met and that he wants to light her lamp … forever?

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

This is where I admit I have most of the earlier Rookie Rebels books but haven’t yet read them….. so yeah, picking a book late in the series is very much me!!!

I loved Dexter & Ashley (& Willa!!)
There was so much personal growth in this story – for all 3 of them – and it was fabulous to read.

Dex had so much emotional baggage from how he grew up and then seeing his past in his present, it would be a lot to deal with for anyone never mind a guy who still hadn’t made any kind of peace with his past and held on to some sense of misplaced guilt.

Ashley broke my heart a little. She was awesome but couldn’t see it as she’d had Willa young, kinda grew up with her daughter, was in a marriage that neither party was really invested in and when it ended her ex said some pretty horrible things. This lass needed someone who ‘saw her’ and thought she was as awesome as she was….. enter Dex!

Their initial meeting didn’t go so well but in all honesty, Dex needed someone like Ash who wouldn’t let him do what he wanted and who didn’t feed his ego. She made him think about his actions and their consequences!

Willa, oh sweet little Willa. She was a wee sweetheart and I understood how Dex fell for her as hard as he did for her momma. Willa was an older soul in little girl form but was so good and caring. She saw the good in Dex and wasn’t afraid to tell him what she believed.

This was a really great read. I felt fully invested in these three becoming a family – Along with Dexter’s teammates, their families and Dexter’s remaining family.

I’m definitely gonna be going back to read the rest of the players stories.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

But Reid’s persistent and isn’t ready to let her get away a second time.

Reid Baylor always hoped to return to Sweetbriar Ridge—the only place he’s felt a connection to after a lifetime spent moving from place to place. When he learns of an opening in the fire department, he jumps at the chance to return to the small town he wants to call home again. And just when he thinks life can’t get any better, he runs into the one girl he’s never been able to forget.

RELEASE BLITZ – The Drawback of Single Dads (Lake Starlight #4) by Piper Rayne

The Drawback of Single Dads by Piper Rayne is now live! 

He’s the father of my child and my best friend.

When Hudson and I met, somehow things just clicked between us. We had the same sense of humor and the same carefree attitude about our lives and goals. Neither of us wanted to lay down roots, we wanted to explore the world.

Then one night, too much alcohol and uncontrolled hormones led to the line blurring, and we fell into bed together only to discover a month later that we were more careless than we thought.

Like the upstanding guy he is, Hudson followed me back to my hometown of Lake Starlight, Alaska, where you can’t throw a penny and not hit one of my family members. We gave them the news that yes, we were having a baby but there would be no wedding. We loved each other but we weren’t in love.

Fast forward three years and we live side by side to make co-parenting our daughter easy. I’m a writer, and he’s a ski instructor. We’ve worked out all the rough edges. Life is good.

Until out of nowhere, things start to change. He has a girlfriend, we’re arguing more than ever, and it feels as if someone has come along and popped our perfect bubble. I’m not sure we’re ever going to fit back inside it now because things are developing. Things like feelings.

RELEASE BLITZ – Wanting the Player (Rules of the Game #2) by Heather Young-Nichols


Title: Wanting the Player
Series: Rules of the Game #2
Author: Heather Young-Nichols


Genres: Contemporary Sports Romance
Tropes: Sworn Off Relationships/Afraid to Commit
Release Date: March 25, 2024
 

BLURB
 
Vowing to never sleep with a baseball player might’ve been a curse upon myself.
 
Given that I suck at relationships, I’m perfectly happy to never be in one again. Men can’t be trusted. Or maybe it’s my heart that can’t be trusted. I don’t know. Either way, especially after the epic fail of a hook up last year with a baseball player that won’t leave me alone, baseball players are no longer an option.
 
Then Urban Briggs tells me, a stranger, that he’s going to make sure his teammate leaves me alone. Great. I could use the help. Except that player doesn’t leave me alone, and Urban ends up volunteering at the summer camp I’m working at. Of course, he does. His family’s charity runs the camp. Now, I can’t avoid him, and he’s too hard to ignore.
 
At first, Urban is fine with our arrangement. After all, he’s leaving as soon as the season ends if he has his way. He doesn’t want to leave behind any attachments, either. Sounds perfect, right? Wrong. Can I risk my heart one last time, or am I going to let the best thing in my life walk away?
 
Wanting the Player is book two in the Rules of the Game series and features a broody baseball player and a woman who isn’t supposed to fall in love who happens to work at his family’s summer camp, where he’s volunteering a little of his time, a standoffish heroine, lots of steam, and it wasn’t supposed to be you vibes.

RELEASE BLITZ – One More Time (Fireweed Harbor Series #4) by J. H. Croix

ONE MORE TIME

Fireweed Harbor Series #4

J.H Croix

Release Date: March 25

 

A swoony, small town romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

How we met: I got a black eye.

Where we met: At a wedding. Not mine! Marriage is a NO for me.

Our first date: We’re not dating. Cross my heart.

True story: Jack Hamilton gave me a black eye when we met. He didn’t throw a punch, but he did open a door right into my face. On the same day I was a bridesmaid in my brother’s wedding. 

My head spun when I took a good look at him. Maybe it was running full-force into a door, but maybe it’s because he’s melt-your-panties H-O-T. Oh, and he’s a hotshot firefighter. 

But I don’t date, and I don’t ever intend to fall in love. It’s all so simple. Until the chemistry that’s hot enough to melt me nearly does. Maybe Jack can help with that, what with the whole firefighting thing.

No one warned me that a good man could make me forget all the reasons why love is a bad idea.

Jack & McKenna’s story is perfect for readers who love: hotshot firefighters, emphasis on H-O-T, slow burn, he falls first, billionaire heroine, small town gossip, emotional romance with a dash of angst, oodles of swoon, and a cinnamon roll hero with a protective streak who will do anything to take care of the woman he’s falling for.

*A full-length, standalone romance.

He dared to steal my bride, so it’s only fair I respond by kidnapping his innocent sister. 
 
Only a monster with no morals would kidnap a woman from her brother’s wedding…
Which was precisely what I’ve become, a monster bent on revenge.
 
After all, as the billionaire Marksen DuBois, renowned for being a jilted groom, my reputation and business were in tatters.
There was nothing more dangerous than a man possessing power, boundless resources, and a vendetta.
 
I would torment him with increasingly degrading photos of his precious sister as I held her captive and under my complete control.
She’d have no option but to yield to my every command if she wished to shield herself and her family from further disgrace.
 
She was just a captured pawn to be dominated, exploited, and discarded.
Yet the more ensnared we become in my twisted game of revenge, the more my suspicions grow.
As she fiercely counters my every move, I begin to question whether I’m the true pawn… ensnared by my queen.
 
New York’s elite play a dangerous game of shadows, hiding scandalous truths and illicit desires behind their opulent masks. Step into this intoxicating world of dark romance, masterfully crafted by USAT Bestselling authors, Zoe Blake and Alta Hensley, now co-writing as the enigmatic Blake Hensley.

Blurb: 

The Princess Bride and Buffy the Vampire Slayer meet Sarah J. Maas’ Throne of Glass in this Breton-inspired fantasy debut brimming with wry humor, epic adventure, and an irresistible romance.

Lilac Trécesson is a prisoner in her parents’ castle after a most wicked secret was revealed on the eve of her fifteenth birthday. Years later, her Accession looms upon her father’s decision to abdicate, and between the riotous townsfolk and scheming noble bent on snatching her throne, she prepares for the worst… Until a letter arrives from The Witch of Lupine Grotto, containing a curious offer to banish her curse forever.

She begrudgingly trades her coronet for a cloak and ventures into the forest Brocéliande, only to find herself cornered by a bloodthirsty barkeep who demands her help in exchange for protection against the even deadlier forces of the woods.

With only the protection of her inherited dagger—and unsolicited help of the sardonic stranger who inserts himself on her quest—Lilac must find the impious enchantress and return in time to claim her crown. Pity the fool to underestimate the girl with subpar blade skills but the spite to make up for it.

This is the tale of a cursed princess,
A crestfallen killer,
The town that wants them to burn,
And the witch who can save them both.

Review Quotes: 

“Girl meets boy, girl turns out to be heir to the throne, boy turns out to be a centuries-old vampire…tale as old as time, right? Wrong. Sure, Disenchanted delivers all the explosive romantic energy you’d expect when a woman on a mission to save her kingdom gets mixed up with a reluctant bad boy bodyguard. But, Brianna Sugalski’s magical pen delivers so much more: adventure, intrigue, humor and the kind of deep and diverse world building that leaves you eager for more.” – Sean Gibson, Best selling author of The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True and The Camelot Shadow

“Sugalski’s writing is what predominantly adds the fantastical touches to this tale of risk and vulnerability. A lyrical prose coupled with vivid descriptions completely engulfs, effortlessly carrying away readers to another place and time. A straight-forward plot with the majority of its focus on the evolution of its characters transforms this epic romp into a very intimate illustration of personal growth and self-awareness. The mechanics used to build tension do so without flaw, which oftentimes had me audibly declaring “just one more chapter”. It’s easy to lose yourself in this world she’s created, and I honestly couldn’t ask for anything more.” – Justine Bergman, Whispers and Wonder

“After being in a considerable fantasy slump this year and being underwhelmed by the depictions of vampires amidst their supposed resurgence in YA, I was pleasantly surprised to find Disenchanted. It feels like the love child of Armentrout’s From Blood and Ash and Buffy the Vampire Slayer—two things you should know that I hold in the highest regard. It’s such a strong debut… and I’m already anticipating the next book from Sugalski.” – Meg, A Little Shelf Righteous

Author Bio: 

Brianna Sugalski is a multi-genre Dark Romantasy author with a soup addiction, who has spent much time creating TTRPG characters who never get played, so she puts them in books. 

Also a history student and developmental editor specializing in Sword & Sorcery SFF, Sugalski spends her free time reading about diversity in the Late Middle Ages and within the realm of Arthuriana. 

Sugalski lives in oversized sweaters and prefers exploring the more ominous—disenchanting, if you will—undertones of history, romance, and the arcane.

RELEASE BLITZ – From Puck to F*ck (Me to We Collection #1) by M. Lane

Title: From Puck to F*ck

Series: Me to We Collection #1

Author: M. Lane

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Hockey Romance/Fake Relationship

Release Date: March 21, 2024

BLURB

I accidentally bid on a date with hockey star Rake Hanson, AKA Mr. Puck-Head, at a charity auction.

Now I’m stuck with him.

He’s the poster boy for everything I can’t stand in a guy – sports nut, ego, and that annoying thing called charm.

Some “prize.”

While his grunts and one-word answers threaten to drive me up the wall, at least he’s nice to look at with those broad shoulders, strong jawline, and big… hands. Regardless, he’s an unrepentant grouch. If he ever smiles, I have no doubt his face will crack.

Our date, where I must beam for the cameras and pretend I don’t loathe every second of it, is destined to be a frosty disaster. It goes even worse than I imagine, involving a chartered flight to Vegas, too many cocktails at a roulette table, a wedding chapel, and a couple drunken “I do’s.”

And now his sports agent won’t let me dump his sorry ass until the end of the season.

So I, Petal Parker, am stuck in this bizarro world of stinky jocks, gossip columns, and flashy parties.

But the touches… and the glances… threaten to melt the hard ice around my heart. As the final buzzer of the season nears, I find my fake relationship with Mr. Puck-Head skating dangerously close to scoring the real thing. Ditching my fake husband is suddenly no longer as urgent as his deep, sexy kisses.

EXCERPTS

#1 

“Hey, Petal. When was the last time you did something completely out of character? Like batshit crazy, unconventional, and spontaneous?”

My mouth opens, then closes again, like a gasping fish. 

“Let your hair down, baby,” Rake says.

“It’s already down,” I say.

Truth be told, I don’t do a lot of crazy. But I’m not about to admit that to Rake and his friends. They already think I’m a charity date. 

Wendy and Daria are at my side. “You know the saying, ‘when in Vegas,’ right?” Wendy asks, nudging me with a giggle.

“Yes, I’m familiar with it,” I say nervously.

This can’t be happening. My resolve is crumbling. Actually, really crumbling. The tequila shot, and the wine before it, has gone to my head, and I’m really, actually contemplating doing something only a fucking idiot would consider.

That’s me. A fucking idiot.

But I’ve been careful all my life. Made nothing but good decisions.

How often do I get to make such a gloriously bad one?

#2 

I haven’t had balls this blue since I was a skinny sixteen-year-old trying to figure out how to get laid.

And it fucking sucks.

Sure, I could go get off with some other chick. There’s certainly no shortage of women dying take off their panties to spend time with a high-profile athlete. 

That might be a shitty thing to say, but it’s true. Ask any of my teammates. Even the married ones have to fend off the women looking to hook up with a walking wallet.

That’s what I call us guys who have money.

And there was a time not very long ago when I would have taken one of these women up on their offer to relieve my aching balls. But, for some reason, the thought of that just isn’t holding the appeal it once did.

I blame it all on Petal. Petal Parker.

The ballbuster I never saw coming.

There’s no way to prepare yourself for a woman like her. She just appears on the scene one day, and you’re fucking smitten, and it’s hard to think of anything else.

It’s also hard to prepare for the fact that she couldn’t give a shit if I lived or died. I’m not used to that.

It’s humbling.

Embarrassing.

And driving me up a goddamn wall.

#3

“Are you teasing me?” I murmur.

He tilts his head. “Maybe,” he sing-songs. “Do you feel teased, Petal? Is there something you want that you’re not getting?”

He’s good. Very good.

“I… want more. I want you to touch me everywhere,” I breathe.

He presses his lips against my ear. “Good girl.” He grabs my jeans by the waistband and pulls me to him, hard, grinding his erection against me.

So. Big.
