Graveyard Dog, a Charley Davidson novella from New York Times bestselling author Darynda Jones & 1001 Dark Nights is now live!
Michael Cavalcante has one thing on his mind when he knocks on Izzabel Walsh’s door at two in the morning, half-dressed and a bit toasted: fix the woman’s heater and get back to bed. He vows never to cover for his maintenance tech again, especially after he gets tased and knocked out with a frying pan for his efforts.
Izzy thought she was safe. She’d dyed her hair, changed her name, and moved 1,500 miles away, and still they found her. When a member of her ex’s motorcycle club knocks on her door in the middle of the night, supposedly to fix a perfectly good heater, Izzy panics. Not only have they found her, but they would soon discover she has a daughter. Aka, a weakness. Aka, leverage. She needs time to think. To plan. To figure out how to keep the sexy neanderthal quiet. But she has no idea how to, short of murder. Can she win him over to her side? Or will he be just like all the others once he finds out what she is capable of?
Michael has one chance to convince Izzy he doesn’t want to harm her or her daughter, but more than that, he wants to know who does. And why. And where he can find them. After all, how else is he going to make sure the two sprites, who have wound their way into his heart, are safe?

She had hair the same color as the girl’s, hanging in soft waves around her face and past her shoulders. A similar bow-shaped mouth and eyes the same ashen brown confirmed their relationship. “She’s not my daughter,” she said, frantically clutching the girl to her. Or not. “Mama,” the girl pouted, placing the accent on the second ma, her lower lip jutting out. “She’s the neighbor’s kid. They’re British. I just watch her from time to time.” The girl tried to shake out of her grip. While she failed, she did manage to turn in the woman’s arms and look up at her. “Why do you always say that?” she asked in her soft British accent—one the woman didn’t have. The laugh that escaped the older woman was so exaggerated and forced that Michael was appalled such talent had somehow eluded Hollywood scouts. She pulled the girl to her and petted her hair until he worried the child might go bald. “She’s a bit dramatic.” The girl pushed at the brunette’s hands. “Mama, stop.” “Look,” Michael said, growing impatient. And numb. “Like I said when you answered the door this morning, I got a call about your heater.” “There’s nothing wrong with my heater.” “Then why did you call?” he asked through gritted teeth. “I didn’t. But you know that already.” “I do?” He did? He was lost. Had he come to the wrong apartment? Damn it. How much had he drunk? He tried to count on his fingers but could no longer feel them. The woman pushed the girl behind her as she walked closer to him. So close he could have easily taken her out with a single sweep of his leg and a triangle chokehold. And it wasn’t like an oven—dishwasher?—door handle could hold him if he didn’t want it to. Maybe for a few seconds. But he’d once fought a bear. Long story. He was fairly certain he could take an appliance door under the right circumstances. Clearly not a criminal mastermind, the woman leaned close to him, the scent of peach shampoo washing over him, and said the oddest thing he’d heard all day. And he’d heard a lot of strange things already. “Be still.” He could barely move as it was. How much stiller could he get? “You will forget the girl in sixty seconds.” “Mama!” the girl shouted in protest, tugging at the woman’s robe—a micro-thin garment that did little to conceal the curves underneath. How the fuck was he just now seeing them? The curves. It was the frying pan; it had to be. Because as she leaned even closer, her beautiful face came into focus, and he felt a rippling punch to his gut. Unhinged and beautiful. Just his type.

Six years ago, he was her one-night stand, and now they’re sharing a villa for the holidays.
I thought I was over him. That his good looks and British accent couldn’t affect me anymore. But the minute our eyes lock across the elevator, all those feelings come roaring back to life.
Then I find out we’re competing for the same job.
Next comes the realization that we have to spend a week together on a ski vacation because of some six-degree-of-separation nonsense.
The real kicker is when I find out the two of us have to share a villa. A very small, very cozy villa.
Needless to say, this Christmas getaway is starting off rockier than the mountains we’ll be skiing down.
I’ve stayed away for years, what’s one week? But I forgot how much easier it is to ignore him with an ocean separating us—especially when he’s determined to win me back.

A phenomenon holiday romance that gave me all the feels.
Merry Kissmas definitely got me in the holiday spirit with its setting and happening throughout the story.
I love that you could instantly see the chemistry between Brynn and Pierce. But this is a second chance romance, so you know this will be entertaining.
Pierce is determined to use this second chance to see if something is really there but Brynn doesn’t make it easy for him.
Merry Kissmas is told from both POVs and you great glimpses of their past which just add to their burning chemistry.
I devoured this story and couldn’t get enough of Brynn & Pierce. Great romance story set at the perfect time of year!

About Baking It Merry
Everyone in the building loved the bake shop a lot.
Except for the guy on the top floor, who most certainly did not.
If it were up to him, there wouldn’t be a hint of Christmas in the building.
For two months out of the year, Daphne Noelle got to live her dream of owning a bakery. Her little pop-up bake shop—one that looked just like a gingerbread house—brought joy to every customer who stopped by to enjoy her sweet treats. She loved meeting people and making them smile, and being in such a festive setting every day was just the icing on the cake! For the last three years, everything had gone smoothly, but this year, there was one guy who was determined to ruin it all.
One of the things Tristan appreciated most about the office complex where his architecture firm was located is how upscale and elegant it was. Unfortunately, every year for eight long weeks, a holiday shop set up in the lobby, turning it into the equivalent of a traveling circus, and the bake shop booth was the worst offender. The giant gingerbread house was an eyesore and the woman running it was too cheery for his liking. This year, he was determined to do everything he could to have her and her booth removed.
When Tristan finds himself in the middle of a delicate family situation, only Daphne can help him. Now, he’ll have to beg and plead and promise to be on his best behavior while dealing with her exuberant holiday joy. But the more time he spends with her—and the more awkward situations she saves him from—he begins to realize there’s more to her than over-the-top holiday cheer. And maybe, when you’re with the right person, Christmas can mean a little bit more.

The movie star and the small-town girl he left behind. They have a lot of catching up to do in an emotional and rousing romantic comedy about fame, second chances, and making dreams come true.
Parker Pruitt’s dream is to restore her small town’s long-shuttered theater—one to be named in honor of Noel Carter, the boy who followed his dream from Emerald Grove, Washington, to Hollywood…and broke Parker’s heart. Now he’s back to attend the kickoff ceremony, and for Parker, that means smiling through a swell of mixed emotions at seeing her former best friend for the first time in a decade.
Noel may be one of the hottest actors in the world, but he’s still touched by the tribute. And a little nervous about seeing Parker again. But when his weekend jaunt extends into a six-week stay, long-repressed memories and feelings come rushing back. As the simmering attraction between them builds, Noel is determined not to ruin this second chance even if his return to LA is hanging over them.

One thing her years with the bureau had given her were classes in self-defense, negotiations, and profiling… Classes that taught her when self-defense was an option, the best way to speak during negotiations, and how to deal with someone who was so badly on the edge that every single care had to be taken to keep oneself or a roomful of people from being killed. Of course, she could only pray that she was putting the pieces together properly. “Please,” she repeated. “We will all do every single thing you tell us to do.” He whispered something, but she barely heard him. “I’m sorry.” He moved closer to her as if his words were meant only for her. “My mother did that—everything those bastards said. And they killed her and my dad anyway.” “But that’s them, Billy. Not you,” she told him. Her words were almost a whisper now. This had come to something that was between the two of them. “You know who I am.” “And my heart bleeds for you. Billy, I know you probably won’t believe this, but I can help you. I can employ every resource in the world to trap the monsters who hurt your parents,” she told him. “Really—” “The cops were all over it.” “Not to brag, but I’m almost a genius with the Internet. I can find out what others can’t. And I have friends who are just as good.” “No, no, no. I’ll be gone to the moon—well, South America, at least. Somewhere far, far, away. And I’ll start over completely. Or I’ll be dead,” he told her. “Then we’ll get everyone into the vault now, and when you’re gone, I’ll still try to find justice for your parents,” she vowed. He looked at her for a long moment, and she thought maybe he believed her. Right now, there was only one objective: to keep these people alive. And she would do anything in the world to make that happen, praying that, somehow, she might keep herself alive, as well. There might be one problem, though. Jackson and Corby knew where she was. She had simply run to the bank to pull out some cash for Corby’s class’s fundraiser for the victims of the latest storm that had wiped out hundreds of homes. They’d planned on buying pastries created by all the kids’ different parents and turning their purchases into an impromptu party for those in the Krewe who were in the area at the moment. Billy smiled suddenly. “You’d best all behave,” he told her. “Because I’m not alone. Say hi, Kenneth.” At the front of the bank, one of the men seated on the floor waved a hand in the air and rose, reaching beneath his jacket as he did. He, too, had a gun. From her distance, Angela couldn’t tell what type of handgun it might be. But regardless, it carried bullets and death. Her family knew she was here. And while she had incredible faith in Jackson, she prayed he was able to control the situation, and that no one barged in, guns blazing. Because that would surely cause a bloodbath.

Releasing: November 26, 2024
Why choose between naughty or nice in this steamy, suspenseful Christmas-themed stalker romance that’s perfect for dark romance readers seeking a spicy, festive read.
It’s the night before Christmas and I’m alone in the house…
Popular jewelry influencer Chloe Hallman is steeling herself to spend another holiday on her own. Instead, she finds herself drawn to two different guys… a smoldering hot fan of her secret, seductive online persona, and a sexy fireman named Jack who looks out for her in their NYC neighborhood.
She has no idea that I know her better than she knows herself. Her deepest secrets, her darkest desires—she’s careful, but I’ve been watching, never leaving footprints in the snow outside her home.
Jack was the first responder to the accident that stole a beautiful young woman’s family two Christmases ago, and he’s been quietly guarding her ever since. When Jack uncovers Chloe’s secret account, his obsession only grows. Both he and Chloe are drawn to the darkness that mirrors their own.
She’s my Christmas wish come true. And I’m hers. She just doesn’t know it yet.
Will Chloe’s Christmas be a tale of fiery passion…or a dangerous game with a man whose love knows no bounds?

An angsty, steamy, why choose, second chance romance from bestselling author Abby Millsaps.
No more running.
It’s a promise I’m making to myself. It’s also the vow I’ve given to each of the four men who came together in my darkest time of need.
Even when I was taken against my will and trapped in the confines of my own mind, unable to access my memories, they never gave up on me.
When I see the way they look at me—and in some cases, the way they look at each other—I know that what we have is rare. Ours is a love worth fighting for. A love worth staying for. And that’s exactly what I intend to do.
I choose them:
Greedy—my first love and deepest heartbreak.
Levi—my not-so-fake boyfriend and personal ray of sunshine.
Spence—my dominating, steadfast lover.
Sione—my soul match and saving grace.
I choose them. All of them, in every way they’re willing to have me.
It’s a dream come true to have them all together, gathered under one roof. But dreams don’t always keep. Especially not when a narcissist parent is involved.
There’s nothing my mother won’t do to get her way. Thankfully, Spence has a plan, and for the first time, every member of our group is on board.
Magnolia St. Clair is a worthy opponent, but she’s no match for the British billionaire who will stop at nothing to protect what’s his.
No more running.
It’s time to stay and fight, and to reclaim the happily ever after we all deserve.
So Rare is the third book in the Boys of South Chapel series. A full list of tropes and triggers can be found on the author’s website.

I am so incredibly happy that I was able to read this due (plus bonus short story) in one boxset.
For someone who has not read all of Bella’s previous series or books, this boxset really makes me want to go and read those. This duet is about Carys and Cooper but we meet so many other family members and connections, you want to know their stories too. And no, I was not once confused or lost or overwhelmed by all the characters and how they are all interconnected. It just added another layer to Carys and Cooper’s story.
Carys and Cooper’s story put my heart and emotions through the ringer. These two will have you sad, mad, angry, laughing, grinning like a fool and feeling hot through the entirety of their story. Bella delivers it all and keeps things moving at the perfect pace.
I loved that we see growth from these two in so many ways. Growth as individuals, growth as a couple and growth in life. You understand and empathize with their decisions. I felt everything these two went through.
This story is raw and emotional. Have tissues at the ready because you will need them. But it is worth every tear you shed.

On an ordinary day, Jane Darling wouldn’t be caught dead in a sports bar wearing a toga with angel wings. But she’s desperate to launch her matchmaking business to secure her young daughter’s future.
Her mission: to attract new clients at any cost.
Her Cupid outfit catches the eye of New York’s beloved star quarterback, Jasper Jannich. She and Jasper have always clashed, but when a pushy admirer goes too far, he steps in as an unexpected knight in shining armor.
He offers a tantalizing proposal: to be Cupid’s Arrow’s premier client. Reluctantly, Jane agrees, aware of the business potential despite her reservations about Jasper and his playboy reputation. As she sets him up on date after date, it grows clear that Jane’s the only woman he wants.
She is his goal, his endgame.
She’s not not interested…but her heart has been burned before. To get anywhere, they’ll need courage and faith.
Download today or read for FREE with Kindle Unlimited!
Best way to describe this book is straightforward, sports romance.
Jasper absolutely won me over in this book and is the true reason I rated this book the way I did. Which says alot because we don’t get his POV at all in this story.
Jane – she took some time to warm up to. I think it would have helped to have more scenes with her daughter (she is Jane’s main focus) and seeing that side of Jane. I do wish there were more scenes overall with her daughter to show that connection between all of them.
My Darling Jane moves quickly and told only from one POV. Ilsa delivers some great spicy moments and some good humor.
Overall, it’s a good read, especially if you enjoy stories that aren’t filled with too much depth.
I do look forward to more from this series.
