NEW RELEASE – The Trouble with Runaway Brides (Lake Starlight #3) by Piper Rayne

The Trouble with Runaway Brides (Lake Starlight #3) by Piper Rayne is now live!

I should not still be hung up on my high school girlfriend.

I’m a billionaire, with a penthouse in New York City, a private plane, and was recently crowned one of Manhattan’s most eligible bachelors.

She’s engaged to my rival. A real prick of a guy whose family is about as famous as mine. So, pictures of the happy couple are plastered everywhere, and it’s driving me insane.

The last time I spoke to her was my freshman year of college, and I never imagined I’d bump into her at a crowded restaurant in the busiest city in the world. But fate had other plans, and when I innocently suggest that the press wouldn’t bother with her wedding plans if she held it in our small Alaskan town where we grew up, I had no idea she’d take me seriously.

Now, I find myself helping her plan the wedding at my dad’s luxury resort while the town’s gossip app follows our every move, afraid that their golden boy will get his heart broken twice by the same girl.

But that’s impossible because she stole my heart when we were fifteen, and never gave it back.

EXCERPT REVEAL – I Could Never by Penelope Ward


Title: I Could Never
Author: Penelope Ward


Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Forbidden Romance/Enemies to Lovers
Release Date: August 21, 2023

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new forbidden, enemies-to-lovers story…

It all started with an unexpected phone call.
Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult, special-needs brother with no one to care for him.
The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home.
The last thing I ever expected?
I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.
Josh Mathers, my fiance’s best friend—who also happened to be my sworn enemy—insisted he was the better person for the job. He told me to go back to California, and I told him where he could stick that demand.
Our disdain for each other wasn’t anything new. It dated back to a text I’d accidentally read years ago.
We hated each other. But we both loved Scottie, so neither of us budged.
Now we were living together in a tiny house—with one available bedroom. Thank goodness it was only temporary.
Over time, I realized the broody jerk I thought I knew was different than I’d imagined.
I found myself slowly growing attached to someone I once considered the enemy…and growing attracted to him.
Sure, both of us were guilt-ridden over Brad. We were also two grown people with pent-up frustration toward one another—stuck in a cabin in the woods.
But this was Josh.
I could never.

EXCERPT

Copyright © 2023 by Penelope Ward

Josh sat at the table, casually having coffee as I walked into the house after my drive home from the salon. The smell of cigarettes emanated from him. He hadn’t smelled like that since the first day he arrived.
“Where’s Scottie?” I asked.
“In his room,” he answered without making eye contact.
I stated the obvious. “You smell like smoke.”
“Must be the firewood.” He brought his mug to his mouth.
“Bullsh*t. The pellet stove doesn’t emit any fumes.”
“Yeah. I caved and had one. Big deal.” He pointed toward the door. “I did it outside, though, while keeping an eye on Scottie through the window.”
“You’d been doing so well. What happened?”
He still wasn’t looking at me, and instead stared straight ahead. “Just human, I guess.”
Then something in front of him on the table caught my attention: pieces of ripped pages piled atop…my journal.
A rush of adrenaline shot through me. “Why do you have that?”
“It’s apparently your diary.”
“I’m quite aware of that.” My heart began to pound. “You were snooping in my room?”
He shot daggers at me. “Think, Carly. Of the two guys in this house, who is the one more likely to have been ransacking your room?”
“You were supposed to be watching him while I was at the salon,” I yelled.
“God forbid I take a piss in peace. Is it not bad enough that I’m showering with him now? Getting my balls tugged?”
I wanted to laugh, but this moment was far from funny.
“Scottie ripped those pages out?”
“The notebook is bright orange, like his iPad cover. Probably caught his attention. The drawer next to your bed was open, so he must have gone in there. I assume that’s where you kept it. Admittedly, I’d been letting him hang out in your room, but you sometimes do, too. I went to check on him, make sure he wasn’t doing anything bad, and found those pages strewn about.” A vein popped in his neck.
Josh was angry. Why? I should’ve been the angry one.
“Did you read it?”
“I only happened to see what was on the pages he ripped. I didn’t read anything else once I figured out what the hell it was.”
This is bad. Starting to sweat, I asked, “But how much did you see?”
He stood up from his seat and slowly approached me. With each step he took toward me, I took one back. When we could go no farther, he placed his arms on either side of me, leaning his hands against the wall. And I forgot how to breathe.
Fear. Arousal. Embarrassment. You name it, I was feeling it right now. Every emotion hit me at once.
His breath grazed my face. “How much did I actually see?” He paused. “Enough to know you think I’m an evil pig.”
Ugh. No. Now his anger made sense.
When he backed away, I walked over to the ripped pages on the table and sifted through them.
“It’s the last one, for reference,” he noted.
I read what I’d written the other night.

RELEASE BLITZ – The Proposal by Adriana Leigh

An unexpected proposal occurs when a Vegas oops marriage turns into a marriage of convenience between a rugby player and his best friend’s little sister.

The Proposal by Adriana Locke is now live!

Breaking News: Rugby’s bad boy marries his best friend’s little sister

If Renn Brewer would’ve asked me to marry him, I would’ve said no.

Why?

One, his reputation precedes him. His name is in the headlines at least once a month. Two, he’s not just my brother’s best friend. They’re teammates. And three, I’m in my self-care era. 

Unfortunately, a version of me equates self-care with bad choices.

The cocktail in my hand—similar to the one that got me into this situation—is the prettiest shade of pink. It’s almost the same color as the giant rock on my left hand. And instead of discussing an annulment, I’m considering a 90-day marriage of convenience to the man I accidentally married in Las Vegas.

Renn didn’t propose marriage. But he does deliver a proposal I might be unable to turn down.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

Adriana Locke makes my heart so happy!!!! I adore her Carmichael Family books and was pretty sure I was gonna enjoy The Proposal but the gods, I wasn’t quite prepared for how much I was gonna love Blakely & Renn’s story!!!!

Renn & Blakely have been dancing round each other for 10 years but nothing happened – 2 things in the mix stopped them from crossing lines…. Renn is B’s older brothers’ best friend and Blakely just didn’t view Renn as husband material!

One drunken night in Sin City and all of that was turned on it’s head!!! The morning after made for fun reading!

I loved Blakely. She was down to earth, didn’t make the best choices in blokes, had a great heart and just wanted to be loved!
Renn, lordy, this guy!!! He had a bit of a trouble maker reputation, but was it entirely deserved?? He was so good to and for Blakely, while she was everything he didn’t know he wanted or needed! The story takes place over a fairly short time span but how long does it take to know how you feel about someone, or to actually admit to yourself how you feel about someone??

I loved the family dynamic of the Brewers… well, all except Reid; he’s a horrible excuse for a person, a narcissist and totally detestable. Adriana wrote him well, even though I couldn’t stand him!
Renn’s family are awesome – especially his mom – and I have everything crossed that we’ll get more of them in a series of their own.

Brock, B’s brother, and Ella were an interesting side story. I’d have loved more of them but what we got was fab.

Can I just say, after a cameo from Foxx (with some awesome banter and honest to the gods LOL conversation with Blakely) I cannot wait for the oldest Carmichael brother’s book. I’m more intrigued by the guy than I’ve ever been!!!!

** thanks to Valentine PR for an advance copy of the book. As ever, with books I love and fave authors I had this one pre-ordered too!!

RELEASE BLITZ – Stay Here With Me (The Wilder Brothers #5) by Carrie Ann Ryan


Title: Stay Here With Me
Series: The Wilder Brothers #5
Author: Carrie Ann Ryan

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Rock Star/Tortured Hero
Release Date: August 14, 2023

BLURB

The Wilder Brothers from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan continues with a secret romance that East and Lark never saw coming.

The world thinks I only write songs about my ex-boyfriends.

They study each lyric to point a finger at which man broke my heart—even if I’ve never met him.

Only the man I refuse to write about is the one who is so tangled in my mind that I know I can never be with him.

I had one night with East Wilder, and I know that’s all there will ever be.

He broke my heart without even trying.

Yet now I can’t seem to write a single verse and I need a place to hide while I figure out who I am. The Wilder Retreat will have to be my refuge as the Wilders prepare for my best friend’s wedding.

And when I’m there, I refuse to fall for East again.

Even if the dark shadows in his eyes draw me in. And the dangers of his past might be the one thing that forces us to finally give in.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I honestly hate to admit this but…. I wasn’t wild for this particular Wilder for a lot of the story!!!! He eventually won me over but it took a while!

We know from earlier in the series that all of the brothers have come home from serving their country with varying degrees of trauma and damage…. Scars both seen and invisible.
East was really good at telling his brothers to open themselves up and talk in previous reads, to make them see what was in front of them when it came to their significant others but when it came to himself he was a tightly closed book – not once did he tell his brothers about his past, how things affected him and how much he was struggling.

I get that he was dealing with his demons (or maybe not dealing is a better description!!) but the way he treated Lark was awful and even though he knew it and acknowledged his behaviour himself, he was still an almighty ass. He assumed way too much about her and her work (choosing to believe what he heard rather than learning the truth for himself) and you know what they say about assumptions!!!!

Lark, I liked but the gods, she deserved better than she got from East and I just wanted her to tell him where to go for a lot of the story!!!! Yeah, they had a spark and hell they were combustible together but the constant pushing away would have been enough for me to walk away permanently from him and I found myself hoping she’d do that to maybe make him see sense and sort himself out.
I hated that she had to constantly be on guard and that she could barely talk to someone without the media making up stories about who she was seeing and who her latest song was about. It was good that she had a retreat of sorts at the brothers’ resort and she had friends who were there for her, no expectations, just accepted her for who she was.

When he finally got his head together it still took East a bit to man up, be honest and open himself to Lark. I did like that he managed to connect with some people during the story and that these interactions seemed to help to degrees.

There was a little suspense in the story and while I think I understand why the character felt as he did I kinda would have liked a little more on his reasoning and thoughts!

All that said, I did enjoy this instalment of the Wilder Brothers series. I loved that the brothers all got themselves involved in trying to get East to talk (they seriously are a gossipy band of blokes!), I like the group of gals that were there for our leading lady and I cannot wait for the next book – after that little teaser at the end I’m so intrigued about the main characters in Finding The Road To us!!!

Dean Meyer has made it clear that we’re just friends–best friends. So when we get stranded in an epic snowstorm, sharing one bed in a roadside motel, what could go wrong?

Everything.

We may have blurred the lines over the past nine years, but we’d never crossed them. Not the way we did that night. 

He promised nothing would change. That he’d forget every kiss and every touch, every whimper and every moan. He promised we’d walk out the door and go back to the way things were.

He promised . . . but he lied.

And now, a year of missed calls and unanswered texts later, we find ourselves forced back together again. 

Will the fire still burn between us, or did that one night’s blaze leave us with nothing but ashes?

NEW RELEASE – Hideaway Heart (Cherry Tree Harbor #2) by Melanie Harlow

She’s a country music star trying to escape the spotlight. He’s the scorching hot bodyguard she doesn’t want on her vacation. And there’s only one bed.

Hideaway Heart by Melanie Harlow is live!!

All I wanted was a break—two weeks off from being Pixie Hart, country music sensation, and fourteen days of peace, privacy, and solitude as plain old Kelly Jo Sullivan.

But thanks to some overzealous paparazzi, my family refuses to let me go anywhere alone, and I’m stuck sharing this tiny cabin with a tall, dark, and bearded bodyguard.

And guess what? There’s only one bed.

Well, he can couch it.

Xander Buckley might be hotter than a stolen blow torch, and I get that he’s a former Navy SEAL and all, but the man gives new meaning to the words overbearing, overprotective, bossy alpha male. I can’t even post a photo on social media without him warning me it’s not safe, or take a morning jog without him following behind.

But he’s made it clear that what he says goes, and if I don’t like it, I can kiss my vacation goodbye.

Instead, I end up kissing him.

I don’t even know how it happened—one minute we were at each other’s throats, the next we were at each other’s mercy. What’s even more shocking is how good we are together. He understands my need for freedom, and I understand his need for control.

But emotional trust doesn’t come easily to me. And we’re on two completely different paths.

Without question, I’d put my life in his hands.

Just don’t ask me to give him my heart.

“I’m not here to push you around.”
“Ha! Just the sight of you is nothing but a giant, tattooed reminder that I can’t call the shots in my own life.”
“I’m sorry to hear that. But for the next two weeks, you’re stuck with me.”
She took a breath and tried a different tactic. “Well, you’ll have to sleep in your car, because there’s only one bed.”

RELEASE BLITZ – Broody Nerd (A Cocky Hero Club novel) by Autumn Grey

Title: Broody Nerd
A Cocky Hero Club Novel
Author: Autumn Grey

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Fake Dating/Best Friend’s Brother/Forced Proximity
Release Date: August 13, 2023

Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward are excited to bring you the Cocky Hero Club: original works from various authors inspired by Keeland and Ward’s New York Times bestselling Cocky Bastard series.

BLURB

My love life has been epic.
Epically disastrous.

But that’s all in the past. I put my unrequited crush on Zach, my best friend’s grumpy brother, behind me years ago. My ex-fiancé, the jerk who left me at the altar, is also in my emotional rearview. Now, I’m focusing on my career. I don’t have time for romance.
Then my ex shows up and everything changes.
Zach comes to my defense in a big way, pretending to be my boyfriend. Then he suggests we keep up our mutually beneficial fake relationship for a few more months.
And it’s not long before I realize my crush on Zach might not be as over as I’d hoped.
It might not be as unrequited as I’d thought, either.
But as much as I’d love to trust him, to give him a second chance, I’m not sure I can. I gave him my heart once and he broke it.
This time, I’m afraid trust might be a luxury I can’t afford.

Broody Nerd, part of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward’s Cocky Hero world, is a light-hearted, contemporary romance standalone featuring plenty of mutual pining, a strong, curvy heroine, and a slightly nerdy, growly hero. Happily ever after guaranteed…along with a slow-burn romance.

RELEASE BOOST – Second Down Darling by Lex Martin

Title: Second Down Darling
Author: Lex Martin

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Single Dad/Forbidden Romance
Release Date: August 7, 2023

BLURB

Jake’s my best friend and first love. There’s just one problem—he belongs to my sister.

I’ve been crushing on Jake for years, but never had the guts to tell him. One drunken night with my sister and two pink lines later, and he’s lost to me forever.

She doesn’t care that I met Jake Ramirez first. That he and I were best friends first. That I fell in love with him first. Because what my sister wants, my sister gets.

When she video-calls me and Jake accidentally walks by in the buff, something in me snaps.

Transferring to a different college might seem like a copout, but I have to get away from Jake and my sister before I say or do something I’ll regret. In an act of desperation, I ghost my old life.

For the next two years, everything is great—until I come face-to-face with Jake and his son, who my sister abandoned.

Jake’s the new wide receiver at my school, and he wants nothing to do with me, which is fine because I plan to keep my distance. Except we’re thrown together in the most dire circumstances that bring back all those old feelings.

They say everyone deserves a second chance, but my heart can’t handle breaking one more time.

Second Down Darling is an angsty, friends-to-lovers, forbidden romance, featuring a sexy single dad who’s a down-and-out college football player and a nerdy girl determined to overcome her wallflower ways. It has major second chance vibes and lots of steam! Second Down Darling is a dual POV standalone in the USA Today-bestselling series Varsity Dads.
