SCORE by Ariella Talix is now LIVE!

Welcome back to Honeybee Hollow—the greatest small town in America.

Lola Gamble breezes elegantly into Honeybee Hollow to attend a weekend party for former Governor Lassiter’s family, but she finds way more than she bargained for. She meets two totally swoon-worthy men, falls for them both and discovers something very interesting about their history.

Banger is a musical genius with fans and groupies following his every move. He plays drums (often shirtless) for the popular band Wildflower Whiskey and composes songs and musical scores for entertainers all over the country. Banger has plenty of hidden talents and could easily be in the running for “sexiest man alive.” No one is exempt, it seems, from his allure. His immediate chemistry with Lola has tongues wagging all over town.

Silver fox Buford Wallace owns The Hive—the hottest spot in town—and manages musicians. When he hears Lola sing, he wants her. He wants to manage her career and make her his.

Banger has an idea. He isn’t a selfish man. He’s willing to share.

And so is Lola.

A fateful trip to Los Angeles could change everything for them.

This small-town, MMF, rockstar romance will keep you on your toes, navigating the highs and lows of their sizzling relationship.

When the gods come calling, you don’t get to say no.
Patrick Collins is three years into a career as a special agent for the Supernatural Operations Agency when the gods come calling to collect a soul debt he owes them. An immortal has gone missing in New York City and bodies are showing up in the wake of demon-led ritual killings that Patrick recognizes all too easily from his nightmares.

Unable to walk away, Patrick finds himself once again facing off against mercenary magic users belonging to the Dominion Sect. Standing his ground alone has never been a winning option in Patrick’s experience, but it’s been years since he’s had a partner he could trust.

Looking for allies in all the wrong places, Patrick discovers the Dominion Sect’s next target is the same werewolf the Fates themselves have thrown into his path. Patrick has been inexplicably attracted to the man from their first meeting, but desire has no place in war. That doesn’t stop Patrick from wanting what he shouldn’t have. Jonothon de Vere is gorgeous, dangerous, and nothing but trouble—to the case, to the fight against every hell, and ultimately, to Patrick’s heart and soul.

Prepare to be swept away by Almost Ravaged, the first book in an all new dark, why choose, college hockey trilogy from bestselling author Abby Millsaps.
They say you never forget your first love.

What they don’t say is how hard it is to move on when he happens to be the trifecta: a brooding hockey player, your brother’s best friend, AND the keeper of your darkest secret.

I spent three years trying to get over Tytus Tremblay, only to slingshot right back into his orbit when we’re reunited at Holt University.

But Tytus isn’t the only man on my radar anymore.

I have a new enemy in the form of Mercer Eden, an arrogant, condescending professor almost twice my age who happens to be my boss. Then there’s his sweet, bashful best friend, Noah Henry, the owner of Evercrisp Orchard.

The pleasure Mercer and Noah offer me—individually, and together—is the primal distraction I live for. It just might be what I need to finally forget my first love and move on with my life.

But then Tytus makes a life-altering choice that affects us all, and one thing becomes abundantly clear: he never plans to let me go.


A Very Good Bad Idea by Emma Chase is now LIVE! 

Audiobook Narrated by: @seanmastersaudio & @brooke_bloomingdale

New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase is back with this red-hot romantic comedy about two rival real estate developers who inherit the same lucrative property in a small beach town. There’s just one catch: they have to live in it…together.

No loopholes. No backing out. No leaving for four months.

Damon Burke is intense, handsome and vengefully calculating—he's also certain he'll outlast his competitor.

Jade Buchanan is brilliant, ruthless, and absolutely not losing to him.

But the house seems to have a mind of its own. With faulty wiring, a leaking roof, drafty windows and the occasional wild-life infestation, it just might be trying to kill them. And the more Damon and Jade try to oust each other from the property, the more it brings them together.

Sparks fly, tempers clash—but eventually, all their walls come crumbling down.

It's a bad idea to get too close to your enemy. To care about them, need them, want them more than you've ever wanted anything.

But when rivalry becomes something more than they ever expected, Damon and Jade discover love can be a very good bad idea.

Brighter Than the Stars by Elizabeth O’Roarke is now LIVE!

Audiobook Narrated by: @ms_brentmoor & @sayitstephendexter

I was raised to believe the danger lived outside our walls. And Ford James looked like the most dangerous thing of all.

I’ve spent my entire life inside Bright Covenant — a religious community with rules for everything, a place where questions aren’t allowed. When my family is sent to heal Westside, a small Florida beach town, I arrive certain of two things: the world outside is exactly as dangerous as I was warned, and Ford James — who vandalized our home before we’d even unpacked — is proof.

He’s the reason I had to leave home during my final year of school. He’s the reason half the senior class wants me gone. But he also makes me question everything I know, and want things I’ve never wanted before—things I’m meant to save for my husband.

Come June, I board a plane to Bolivia, and will return engaged to a member of Bright Covenant.

Which means I have one year to decide if Ford James is really the villain. Or worth burning my world down for.

Trigger warning: assault and bullying. For additional details, see my website.


Chasing Smoke by Piper Rayne is now LIVE! 

Audiobook Narration by: @connorcrais @narratormaxine @jasonclarkereads @callie_dalton @j.f.harding @aaronshedlock @sayitstephendexter & Jill Smith

I've been running toward burning buildings for a decade. Then my best friend's widow smiled at me for the first time in two years, and I knew right then I was in trouble.
After Caleb died, I made a promise—I’d take care of his wife. Keep an eye on her. Check in on her. Make sure she kept on living.

Collins insists she’s fine. She’s not.

So when she finally agrees to let me help pull her out of her grief, I vow to stand beside her however long she needs me, no matter how much it costs me.

Collins isn’t supposed to smile at me like she does. She’s not supposed to let me in. And she definitely isn’t supposed to be the best part of my day.

She was Caleb’s. I know that.

The problem is, I can't stop wondering what it would be like if Collins wasn't just someone I was meant to protect.

But mine.


Sinners of New Orleans Omnibus by Natalia Lourose is now LIVE!

Four steamy and dark mafia romance in one book!
Meet the Sinners of New Orleans...
Alliance
On the worst night of my life, I met the hottest man I’ve ever seen.

Tall, dark, covered in tattoos, and asking if I’m okay.

Three years later, I see him again and he’s asking the same question.

Are you okay?

But I’m not okay.

Not when I’m trapped in an arranged marriage to a cruel man my power-hungry mafia family chose—one who leaves bruises and demands to be obeyed.

I don’t mean for my night with Naz to be anything more than a one night stand. An opportunity for me to lose my virginity to someone I choose rather than someone who’s forced on me.

A choice that was finally mine.

But when my fiance catches us red handed I’m forced to choose between being the good famiglia daughter even if it kills me or finding my own happiness with the man of my dreams.

Deception
After my best friend goes missing and the police refuse to take her disappearance seriously, I do what any reasonable woman wouldn't: I go looking myself. My investigation begins at her last known location, Sinners and Saints, a seedy strip club owned by the New Orleans mafia.

Armed with a fake name, lingerie, and sky-high heels, I infiltrate the club, determined to find out what happened to her.

Except, the mafia doesn't give up their secrets so easily, and before I have a chance to find the truth, I catch the attention of someone who can tell I'm lying.

John Vitale is known as a psychopath. Even the scariest men at this club are well aware he has no qualms when it comes to killing.

With his sights set on me, he begins to buy all my time at the club to keep me off the floor and away from anyone who might give me a lead. I know being under his scrutiny is a death sentence, and if I don't push him away, I'll never find the truth. But I can't help but enjoy the way he touches me, protects me, owns me.

He knows I'm hiding something, though, and he won't stop until he finds out what.

But if I tell him the truth, will he destroy me, or become the man I can't live without?

Obsession
I’ve always been the black sheep of my family.

A pawn to be used. A bargaining chip to further their ambitions.

Now they’ve sold me off in an arranged marriage to a man on my brother’s payroll.

Adrian Russo.

Cold. calculating. dangerous.

At first, I thought he was just another player in my family’s cruel game.

Another captor determined to control my fate.

But then his touch sparks something I can’t explain.

His punishments become an addiction I crave.

Because beneath his icy exterior is a man who makes me question everything.

Including whether he’s the villain of my story…or the only one capable of saving me.

Birthright
Fresh out of prison, I’ve got one thing on my mind: revenge.

After my uncle killed my father and framed me for his murder, I’ve spent the last eight months plotting how I’ll repay him.

Everything goes according to plan, until I look up from the smoking gun to realize I’m not alone.

A girl: blue eyes, dark hair, and a mouth made for sin is looking at me. I should’ve silenced her and tied up loose ends.

But my father taught me one rule: we don’t kill women.

So I did the next best thing.

I made her mine.

He doesn’t do relationships. But for her, he’ll play husband.

Phoenix Stark does not do relationships. Nor does he make promises. And he definitely doesn’t believe in happily ever after. He’s a broody tattooed firefighter and a man of very few words. Except with me.
When my five-year-old nephew is unexpectedly left in my care, I'm determined to give him the stable home he deserves. But between my part-time job and his Type 1 diabetes, I need more than love to make that happen. I need health insurance, a home, and a husband.

Phoenix offers me all three. His solution? Marry him.

A fake marriage to my oldest friend should be simple, except suddenly I'm living in his house, sharing his bed, and convincing everyone around us that we're madly in love. And somewhere between raising a little boy together and pretending that this marriage is real, the lines we've spent a lifetime protecting begin to disappear.

But Phoenix doesn't believe in forever. And I refuse to risk the best friendship I've ever had for a love he may never be able to give me. The problem is, I'm starting to wonder if the man who refuses to promise me forever has been loving me all along.

Releasing February 9, 2027

Photographer: @wanderaguiar_photography

A guarded woman. A single dad. A love powerful enough to crack open every wall they’ve built—until the past threatens to tear it all down before it begins.

Charlotte “Charlie” Harrington has poured five years into her equine therapy program—healing broken kids, broken spirits, anything to keep from confronting what broke inside her. The secret she’s carried since she was nineteen drove her home to Harrington Ranch. It’s the one thing she’ll never speak of, and the one thing that still controls her life.

Jagger Dean hasn’t stopped moving since he buried his wife two years ago. His tech empire keeps him occupied, but his six-year-old daughter, Violet, needs more than hotel rooms and nannies. So he brings her to Ironwood—to Charlie’s program. What he doesn’t expect is for Charlie to reach the parts of him he thought had gone permanently quiet.

Violet’s matchmaking, the Harrington family’s warmth, and an undeniable pull draw Charlie and Jagger closer. But just as she dares to believe in something real, her past returns—threatening everything she’s built and the love she never thought she’d have the courage to claim.
