COVER REVEAL – My Favorite Kidnapper by Melanie Moreland

Melanie Moreland has revealed the covers for My Favorite Kidnapper!

Releasing September 7, 2023

A laugh out loud, unconventional opposites attract love story from New York Times bestselling author Melanie Moreland –

I touched her confectionary creation, and she told me off.

Slapping my hands and cursing in her own unique fashion.

No one talked to me that way.

I liked it.

I liked her cake even more.

So, I took her to Italy to bake for me.

I should have asked her first, but I had a feeling she’d say no.

I brought her cat, though—that should count for something.

Now, I just need to convince her to stay.

And forget that little word.

Kidnapper.

I’d prefer lover.

But we’ll wait until she doesn’t want to kill me in my sleep.

Meet Melanie Moreland

New York Times/USA Today bestselling author Melanie Moreland, lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her beloved husband of thirty-plus years and their rescue cat, Amber. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them.

While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip.

Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She’s learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.

Peggy

After the death of my husband, I drowned myself in flowers, a bittersweet memory of the good times we’d shared. I’d had the good fortune to fall in love with a man who wasn’t great with words but understood the language of flowers. There had been flowers for every occasion, which culminated into the biggest flower delivery of all, my own shop in the small town of Willow Valley, Peggy’s Petals. So I spent all my time and energy building my small flower shop.

Eight years later, my friends are trying to encourage me to move on, but how does a person do that and leave behind the guilt they hold? Instead, I tried something safer. My best friend, Trinity, suggested I join the Army pen pal program. It seemed the safest way to test out the waters with someone new, and the best part, we’d never meet, or so I thought.

Ethan

I’d now been widowed longer than I’d been married and thanks to countless deployments, I knew the men under my command better than I knew my own daughter. As I neared retirement, I wanted to change that. I started talking to my daughter. She explained that she had been doing some volunteer work for a non – profit. She was starting a pen pal program for military men and women and she wanted me to get involved.

Apparently, all I needed to do was write a pen pal provided by the non-profit. So, I signed up, and began exchanging letters. This went on for a few months. The more I knew about her, the more I wanted to know. Then kismet played its hand. Melinda, my daughter, and Peggy, my pen pal lived in the same small town.

As I prepared for retirement, I finally knew where I wanted to settle down. The military had given me an amazing life, now I wanted the job of being a family man, which meant being with my family. I planned to move to Willow Valley, build a relationship with my daughter, and if I had my way, build one with Peggy too.

Hartley Hanover:
Oooh! I hate that man! Booker Sloan is the most uptight, arrogant, annoying man I’ve ever met! He even has the nerve to arrest me for not filing a permit. A permit! And when it turns out that I did file it, it just got lost in the shuffle….does he apologize? Heck no! He proceeds to tell me all the things I do wrong every single day of my life! I’m surprised he doesn’t yell at me for breathing!
But when I’m alone at night…why do I keep thinking about him? Why does the occasional sadness on his face make me want to fix whatever’s wrong in his universe? Why can’t he stay out of my dreams and keep those dang handcuffs to himself?

Booker Sloan:
I know I messed up and I should apologize. I shouldn’t have acted the way I did. But something about that dang, sweet woman just has me so screwed up that every time I open my mouth the worst things come out!
It’s not her. It’s me. And I know it. But I feel like if I give her one little inch, the gorgeous woman will take every piece of me I have left. I’m barely hanging on and if I have to push her away to protect myself? Well, that’s just how it’s got to be.
So why does it bother me so much when a new man in town shows a little interest in the petite, sunny woman who’s got me tied up in knots? She’s not encouraging him. In fact it seems like she’s running away from him.
So how come I still want to punch his grinning mouth and grind him into dust under my boot heels and then haul her over my shoulder and make sure she understands that she’s mine?

Excerpt

Copyright 2023 Tamrin Banks

Laughing, I reach over and hug little Edward Reese. He hugs me back hard. He is just the sweetest boy.

“Now, I know that you’ve been waiting for this book!”  I pull it from behind my back.  “Surprise!  It came in early and I made sure to set it aside for you!”

“You are the best, Miss Hanover!”  His huge, gap-toothed smile makes my heart light.

He hasn’t had an easy time of it lately.  His dad got hurt while driving home from work last month and broke his leg so the whole family has had to pitch in to help.  Even nine year old boys.  So he hasn’t been able to spend as much time in the library as he usually does and he loves to read.

“You just get it back to me when you’re done.  Doesn’t matter how long.  I’ll take care of it.”

His little round cheeks flush and his freckles disappear in a wash of red.  “Thank you so much, Miss Hanover.  I can’t wait to read it!”  He dances off and his mom smiles at me, watching his light steps before she turns back to me.  

“We really appreciate you doing this, Miss Hanover.  We’re all working really hard.  And Sam is  worried about him.”  She nods her head at Edward.

I can’t even speak, my throat tight with my own tears.  But I clear my throat and say, “I’m glad.  I hope that this helps him relax a little bit.”

“It will.  Thank you.”  She moves off and I turn back, groaning when I’m faced with the last person I want to see.

“Sheriff?  How nice to see you.”

His arctic blue eyes glare at the setup on the sidewalk.  “I talked to you about this last month with the Christmas in July to-do.  You cannot block the sidewalk like this.  And did you get a permit this time?”

I nod my head and sigh.  “Yes, I did.  Last month when you had your hissy fit.”

He stands up straight and pushes his broad shoulders back and I feel that little pull in my belly that I absolutely hate!  Why the fuck do I have to react like this around this man?

I mean, sure he’s hot.   His light brown hair is thick and gleams in the sunlight.  But it’s so tamed that it almost doesn’t look real.  His body is tall and tanned, muscles upon muscles to drool over.  I jerk my brain back in line.

No, not drool over.  Dread.  You dread seeing this man.  He smiles at me and I growl under my breath.

“Can I see it?”

“I don’t have it on me.”  He nods his tawny head at me.  “I’ll be back then.”

He steps away and I see him on his little radio talking to someone and I roll my eyes and turn to Mrs. Cassidy, discussing the latest thriller that she just read that I recommended to her.

“I loved it, Miss Hanover!  So good!  Do you have any more like that?”

I’m nodding at her when I feel a big hand grab my wrist and pull it backwards.  My mouth falls open when I see that the Sheriff has a hold of my wrist.

“What the heck are you doing?  Get off of me!”  I try and pull away and he grits hit teeth, his firm jaw tensing.

“Stop resisting.”

“What are you doing, Sheriff?”  Mrs.  Cassidy’s mouth is hanging open and she’s glaring at him like he’s mugging me.

“I’m arresting her for disturbing the peace, not having a license for a demonstration and now resisting arrest.”

“You must be joking,” I huff, staring at him.

“Nope.”  He grabs my other hand and pulls it behind my back, clicking the handcuffs on my wrists.  The cold steel against my skin makes me shiver and freeze in my tracks.

His blue eyes look me up and down and I swear there’s some kind of emotion there that I don’t understand.  I don’t think I want to understand it.

I just want him to get away from me and leave me alone.  And take his handcuffs and shove them where the damn sun doesn’t shine!

About Tamrin Banks

I’m a mother of three who works for a school district as a cafeteria aide but I’ve also had a lot of different hats over the years.  Divorced single mom fresh out of the military working nights in a plastics factory all the way to teaching cardio kickboxing and zumba at the YMCA.  
I’ve been married to my honey bunny for 22 years now.  He’s absolutely the best and tries to keep me in check as much as possible because I am a crazy person that stacks too much on her plate and then does it all no matter what.  Even if it drives everyone nuts!
I love the kind of romances where you know what you’re getting.  I don’t like happily for now.  That just feels like cheating to me.  I also don’t like love triangles.  I’m an easy girl and I like my books like I like my men…lol!  Uncomplicated.  So if you’re reading my books, you know that no matter what, there’s a happily ever after!

RELEASE BLITZ – The Great British Bachelor Chase (Hollywood Bachelors #2) by Lila Monroe

Title: The Great British Bachelor Chase
Series: Hollywood Bachelors #2
Author: Lila Monroe

Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Exes to Lovers, Grumpy/Sunshine
Release Date: July 31, 2023

BLURB

Fall for a new exes-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine rom-com from USA Today bestselling author, Lila Monroe! Perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey, Ali Hazelwood, and Emily Henry.

Fraser MacKenzie is handsome, Scottish… and the first man to ever break my heart. We had a whirlwind romance during my study-abroad in England, until it ended in an epic ghosting (his), and untold misery (mine). I haven’t laid eyes on his distractingly broad shoulders in ten years… Until I arrive back on British shores for my dream job consulting on a big new production of Pride & Prejudice, and find… that Fraser is working on the movie, too.

Or rather, he finds me. Naked in the communal shower. Clinging to a hand-towel and my dignity for dear life.

I have zero desire to go strolling back down memory lane with him, even if our burning chemistry would put Lizzie and Darcy to shame. But when I accidentally send our lead actor fleeing on a mysterious mission, Fraser and I have four days to track him down – before the entire movie falls apart.

Embarking on a madcap British road-trip with my ex is a recipe for disaster… and serious temptation. Fraser is more infuriating – and swoon-worthy — than ever, and soon, we’re not so much rekindling an old flame as setting the world (and my burning loins) on fire.

But can we overcome the ghostings of the past to find real love? And will we make it to our missing actor in time to save the movie – and my career?

Find out in the hot and hilarious new romance from Lila Monroe!

RELEASE BOOST – Hot Chicken (A Man of the Month Christmas in July series Novella) by LM Fox

Title: Hot Chicken
A Man of the Month
Christmas in July Series Novella
Author: LM Fox

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Unrequited Love/Small Town Beach Romance
Release Date: July 31, 2023

BLURB 


Matt

Returning to my hometown to help care for my ailing mother wasn’t on my radar at age twenty-eight.

But neither was Ellie Albright.

This small seaside town and its obsession with Christmas had me packed and ready to leave at a moment’s notice.

Who knew a trip to the corner convenience store
could make this holiday grump want to grovel?

Because this girl is all I can think about and I’m not wasting my chance this time.

Ellie

It’s Christmas in July in Candy Cane Key.
However, winning Best on the Beach is the only thing on my wishlist.

Definitely not my blazing hot high school crush
turned firefighter who’s come back home.

July is tourist season for our little beach town.
The entire community enjoys a lift in sales as travelers visit for sun, surf, and holiday silliness.

Yet it’s not as easy when your place of business
is a run-down gas station.

But I’m keeping my eye on the prize.
Not on Matthew Hightower.
That’s one gift even Santa can’t deliver.

This steamy novella is a return to hometown,
unrequited love, small-town beach romance
with a guaranteed HEA!


This is a standalone, but stars characters from Naughty & Nice,
A 2022 Man of the Month Club Sycamore Mountain series novella.

EXCERPT

Matt
I put my truck in park and hop out, walking toward the door with trepidation. I hope the food tastes better than this place looks.
A metal bell chimes overhead as I open the door. I’m surprised to find the inside is quite different than what greets you in the service area of this place. The area is bright with white linoleum floors and shiny gunmetal countertops. There’s a soda fountain and coffee stations to the left and the cashier’s check out to the right. A portly appearing older gentleman appears to be reading the newspaper, sitting on a stool behind the counter.
“Hi. Are you Elliot? I’m working with my brother this summer and he sent me to pick up lunch for his crew.”
“Ah, Harry your brother?” he asks around a toothpick dangling from the corner of his mouth.
“Yes, sir.”
“Well, any brother of Harry’s is a friend of mine. I’m Jo.”
“Matt. Nice to meet you. Oh. Salty Jo is you?”
He grins, and I instantly have the feeling this man is a fixture in Candy Cane Key.
“I don’t recall this place from when I grew up here.”
“What’re you? Thirty?”
“Close. Twenty-eight.”
The bell chimes again, and I notice customers meandering around the place. No one seems the slightest bit concerned about the condition of the place. I’m sure they have to pass inspections with the health department, but I still can’t help being a tad concerned about eating lunch from a place like this.
“Well, we’ve been here as long as you’ve been on the planet, son. Although it probably looked a bit better back then. Time and multiple tropical storms have taken their toll on the place. After a while, it gets to feel silly sinking any more money into it. But your brother has come to our aid more than once for the important stuff.”
This makes me smile. My brother really is a good dude.
“Speaking of your brother, I guess we need to keep his boys fed.” Jo removes the toothpick that remains in place throughout our conversation and points toward his right. “Elliot’s over there. In the deli area.” A mischievous smirk curls the corner of his mouth.
What’s that about? “Thanks.”
“Nice to meet you, Matt. Hope to see you ‘round.”
I turn in the direction of the deli and feel my stomach grumble as I’m hit with the aroma of fried chicken. Now I live in a mountain town in North Carolina where home cooking is a staple. So for the scent of these gas station offerings before me to cause me to salivate says something.
Bending forward, I take in the options within the glass case. There are perfectly prepared pieces of chicken, both on and off the bone, macaroni and cheese, green beans, collard greens, baked apples, and an assortment of pies. Hell, they even have banana pudding here. As my eyes travel to the back of the display area, I find I’m drooling for an entirely different reason. A set of shapely calves, thick thighs, and the hottest backside I’ve ever seen is bent over before me. This girl is leaning into the oven while her tiny cut-off shorts ride up her legs, causing my dick to twitch.
Hell, is she on the menu?
As if on cue, she stands to her full height. She’s probably about five foot five, with generous curves in all the right places. Those perky tits have to be at least a C cup, if not more. They are perfectly proportioned to her rounded hips and trim waste. Her thick auburn hair is pulled up in a messy bun, covered with a hair net. Yet, I can’t help picturing it tumbling down her back toward that fantastic ass. Shit. I don’t remember anyone in Candy Cane Key looking like this when I lived here. Well, maybe one girl, but she was just that. A girl. While this one is all woman.
I barely finish my thought before said stunner turns to face me. While I stand here with my mouth hanging open at the beauty wielding silver tongs before me, I’m met with the biggest green eyes I’ve ever seen. She simply gives me the once over as if this happens all the time. This curvy girl has my mouth watering when it suddenly hits me.
Wait. Do these guys come here for the hot chicken or the hot chick?

COVER REVEAL – Forgot to Say Goodby by S.L. Scott

FORGOT TO SAY GOODBYE

S.L. Scott

Release Date: August 17

Noah Westcott should come with a warning: Too Hot to Handle!

The man is stunningly handsome with his embracing brown eyes and lips that make me want to kiss that smirk right off his face.

How could I resist?

Spoiler: I didn’t.

That was my first mistake.

I blame him for the second. It should have been easy and fun. No strings attached. No feelings. As if he commanded it like he did me in the bedroom, I did exactly what I said I wouldn’t. I fell for him.

Two years later, the same man walks into my life. Again. A lot has changed. Not his devastating good looks, or that smug grin, but for me everything.

Now that Noah’s back—in my office and hanging around after hours—I can’t get distracted. I must protect my secret—the one who calls me Mommy.

RELEASE BLITZ – Confessions: Chloé by Ella Frank

Confessions: Chloé by Ella Frank is now live!

“Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead.” ~ Lucille Ball

Stubborn. Sassy. Wild.
Chloé Thornton-Priestley has lived a life most dream of.
One that was nurtured with love, acceptance, and trust.
Raised by three wonderful men, she is free-spirited and has never let society’s conventions tame her.
Why would she, when she’s seen what beauty can come from an unconventional love?

Life is good.
She has her family. Her dream job. Her future is going exactly as planned.
The last thing she is looking for is more men in her life.
Her fathers and brother are enough.
So no one is more surprised than Chloé to find out she has fallen in love with not one, but two of them.

Ethan Holt and Zayne Copeland are exactly what she wasn’t looking for.
Sexy, possessive, and protective, these two doms make her want to kneel and submit—something she never would’ve dreamed of in the past.
But one look at the two of them and Chloé knew she was in trouble, and she hasn’t looked away since.

Life has a funny way of knowing exactly what you need—or in Chloé’s case, whom—and now that she’s found them, she plans to never let them go.

Confessions: Chloé is the conclusion of Chloé, Ethan & Zayne’s story and should only be read after Confessions: Ethan & Confessions: Zayne.

NEW RELEASE – 4 Hints You Love Your Best Friend (Bower Boys #4) by Kelly Siskind

Title: 4 Hints You Love Your Best Friend
Series: Bower Boys #4
Author: Kelly Siskind

Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Friends to Lovers/Forced Proximity/Roommates
Release Date: July 26, 2023

BLURB

A rule follower gets stuck living with the off-limits woman he’s always wanted in this small-town romance that sizzles with slow-burn heat.

Jolene Daniels is my best friend. Sorry…was. She was my best friend a lifetime and ten years of witness protection ago. Now that I’ve returned to my hometown, Jolene and I are once again hanging out.

As friends.

I do not fantasize about the time we fell asleep in the tree house we built, and I woke up with her tucked against my aching chest. I don’t replay the days we raced through the woods, nothing but carefree adventure and laughter filling the air.

Nope. We’re just old pals, and I’m thrilled to have her back in my life. Of course, I notice how stunning she is, but it’s fine.

Until her apartment floods and she temporarily moves into my place. In the room beside mine. Nothing but a thin wall between us. She also walks around in flimsy tank tops. Zero bra.

Did I mention she’s my brother’s ex and he’s looking to rekindle their romance?

Good thing Jolene Daniels and I are nothing but the best of friends.
