Ashley Elizabeth has revealed the cover for Betrayed in the Dark!
Releasing October 21, 2025
Betrayed. With one letter, that’s what he did to me, irrevocably splitting my heart down the middle, causing everything we once shared in secret to become nothing more than a distant memory. One I try desperately to forget. So, imagine my shock when my brothers stood before me to tell me who my new bodyguard would be while I fought back tears, pretending my heart had never belonged to him. And only him. Especially since another man’s ring now rests on my finger. Yet, every moment spent in his presence makes it harder to stay away. Every secret embrace makes it nearly impossible to remember why I should hate him. Even though I never could. But as lines get crossed and feelings threaten to unravel everything, there’s one thing I must remind myself: This wedding is happening, whether I want it to or not. There’s just one problem. The same man who is doing everything in his power to stop me from walking down the aisle is the one I’m ultimately doing it all for: Eli Lyon.
Ashley Elizabeth is an author of steamy contemporary romance. Her books will always tell a love story with just the right amount of spice and, most importantly, end with a happily ever after. When she’s not reading a romance novel or overthinking everything, you can find her at Starbucks, keeping them in business, or watching Jurassic Park for the thousandth time with her fur baby, Bailey.
When he finds out who I am, will he save me—or destroy me?
Dirty Little Secrets, an all-new workplace, dark mafia, billionaire romance from bestselling author Carmen Rosales is now available!
NORI
Moving to New York was a chance to jump-start my career after graduating from college. I didn’t want to accept the job offered by the man I was dating, but I had no other choice. I needed a job. It didn’t matter that he couldn’t satisfy me sexually—he wasn’t the only man I’d met who couldn’t.
Then, a friend from work gave me a discreet club membership as a birthday gift. Nothing could have prepared me for what I’d find there—or, more importantly, who.
Xaiden. The owner of the company I worked for. A man who didn’t even know I existed.
Night after night in the dark room, I embarked on a passionate affair that was both daring and dangerous. As secrets began to unravel, I realized Xaiden was not only powerful but also deeply controlling. When he finds out who I am, will he save me—or destroy me?

Rachel, Rachel, Rachel – you are torturing us readers in the best possible way. LOL
Bend the Pucking Rules starts exactly where book 1 left off (gut wrenching cliffy) but we are thrown a loop with Callan. Aidric is his typical alpha-self and tries to remind everyone of their place, all the while making sure nothing happens to them.
This book focuses more on Avery and Sebastian as she leans on him more while Callan is healing. We see a different side to Sebastian but he’s still who he is at his core and that’s what makes him even more intriguing as the story moves along.
Rachel does a phenomenal job with the twists and turns and keep readers on their toes the entire time. Just when you think you know something, she proves us wrong and throws another puzzle piece into the air. And I love how the romance plays right into the suspense of everything, just giving the book a whole new level of intrigue.
A fantastic book two and after that epilogue – I am dying for book three!
A man with no limits is the most dangerous kind of threat.
When Trent Clarke caught me picking pockets at eleven, he didn’t turn me in. Instead, he took me under his wing and taught me that in this world, you take what you want and never look back.
He might have shaped me, but I built my empire of the most successful string of strip clubs on the West Coast.
Now that I have everything, it’s time to track down my deadbeat mother and remind her who she left behind. That is if the drugs didn’t kill her already.
But I don’t find the worn-down shell of the woman I remember. Instead, she has all the things she never managed to give me—the white picket fence, a family dog, even church on Sunday mornings.
The real kicker? She replaced me and raised the perfect daughter with all the care and love she never gave me.
A twisted need for revenge roars to life inside me, and I aim it at my mother’s precious stepdaughter—sweet, sheltered Hattie Sinclair.
At first, it’s purely about vengeance, pulling Hattie into the darkness to watch her innocence unravel piece by piece. But she becomes something more. Something dangerous. Something I can’t resist.
Until she becomes my obsession.

A dark single dad, forbidden, mafia romance from USA Today Bestselling author Jane Henry
Vadka Dragunov—Bratva executioner, cold-blooded strategist… and my dead sister’s husband.
The man who built his empire in blood and protected it with silence. The man with a stare that holds me hostage—and a voice that cuts straight through me. I’ve avoided him, and the way he makes me feel, as I’ve wallowed in my own grief following my sister’s death.
But now there’s no escape. I’m living in his world. I’ve been targeted. The Irish want war. And the only safe place left is under his watch… or under him.
He’s a single father now—haunted, vengeful, and dangerous. A man who reads bedtime stories with the same blood thirsty eyes that promise death and retribution. The man who would raze the world to keep his son safe.
He thinks I’m reckless, chaotic, unpredictable. I was only a child when we first met. But he doesn’t see me as one anymore.
I see what he hides beneath all that control—the obsession simmering just below the surface. The way he watches me like he wants to equally destroy and devour me.
And now the same loss that tore us apart is now pulling us together.
I wasn’t supposed to end up in his bed.
But the Bratva is splintering. The Irish want blood. And I’m spiraling – holding a secret that could end it all while falling for the man I can’t have.
Is there a future for Vadka and me, or will the secrets between us cause another tragedy?

Unbroken is definitely the most emotional book in this series so far.
If you read the previous book, we were left on a cliffy with Vadka losing Mariah, Ruthie’s sister.
Vadka, now a single dad, and Ruthie are now trying to navigate a world without Mariah. On top of dealing with grief, working through very emotional feelings these two share alot with one another and grow closer. And then the Irish attack.
I like that readers can empathize with Vadka and Ruthie as they navigate their loss and you see things start to come to reality for them in how they feel towards one another. I will say that Ruthie’s was easier to accept than Vadka’s but you could see he was not replacing Mariah with her sister.
Jane does a great job of blending the suspense of the Bratva and the relationship growth in this. I love how the plot of this book just helps move the romance part of this story along and yet doesn’t get lost either. This family is not one to mess with and you can visualize that with every book.
And that ending – oh I have quite a few thoughts on what we get next but I will not spoil anything.

Fueled by dark chocolate and even darker coffee, USA Today bestselling author Jane Henry writes what she loves to read— character-driven, unputdownable romance featuring dominant alpha males and the powerful heroines who bring them to their knees. She’s believed in the power of love and romance since Belle won over the beast, and finally decided to write love stories of her own.
I did not (very sadly) read the first two book in this series but it did not at all damper by enjoyment of this book. I definitely have this burning need to go back and read them though.
Briar has returned home and while she’s trying to get out of her current “lifestyle”, she decides to host a party at her family’s estate. Along the way, she connects with Damiano and Flint and so begins the story.
It was really entertaining to see the push and pull between Damiano and Flint. And then add Briar into that mix – perfection. For me personally, this was the only area that I wanted more. Alta gives readers what we need, but I just felt like we could’ve had more. But I also understand why we didn’t as it wouldn’t have fit the overall vibe of the story. It’s also why it didn’t hurt the story for me in anyway, I am just being selfish in wanting more from these three in that MMF aspect. LOL
Alta’s writing style makes you feel like you are right in the thick of things with these characters. The pacing was perfect and everything flowed naturally from the romance aspect to the haunting parts. I loved everything about this book.
Meet Alta
Alta Hensley is a USA Today bestselling author of dark romance where the villain always gets the happily ever after.
Twisted, clever, and occasionally unhinged, her books deliver morally gray anti-heroes, sharp-tongued heroines, and happily ever afters that taste even sweeter after a little ruin. With a signature blend of grit, wit, and heat, Alta’s stories prove one thing: villains deserve love too.
Alta lives on the foggy coast of Oregon with her husband, two daughters, and a pair of dogs who think they’re in charge. When she’s not writing redemption for the irredeemable, she’s walking the coastline or sipping craft beer in foggy little bars that feel like they belong in her books.
From USA Today Bestselling Author Jane Henry comes a dark Bratva stalker romance.
Anissa Laurent is a ghost—a master of deception, a woman who has slipped through the cracks of the underworld. Untraceable. Untouchable. Unclaimed. Until me.
I made it my life’s mission to find her, drag her back where she belongs, and punish her for her betrayal.
I traced every false identity until I found her, but I took my time. I studied the way she breathes, the way she moves, what she loves, and what she hates.
She thought she could run. She thought she could hide. She thought she could get away with betraying my family.
But I’m not a man who lets go of what’s mine. She was meant to be broken, to be owned, meant to carry my mark in the most primal way possible. I won’t just take her body—she’ll have my baby, too.
But I didn’t expect her to be as broken as I am. I didn’t expect her to fight like she has nothing left to lose. And now, I don’t just want to cage her—I want to own her.
She’ll curse me. She’ll hate me. She’ll claw and bite and scream my name in fury and in pleasure. But in the end, it doesn’t matter. Because there is no escape from her past… and definitely not from me.
What to expect in Unhinged:
Stalking
Kidnapping
BDSM
Breeding kink
Caging
A snarky AF heroine and OTT alpha hero
Found family and a guaranteed HEA

Jane Henry has quickly become one of my favorite mafia/Bravata authors.
Matvei and Anissa are exactly what this title says, Unhinged. They both excel at their jobs and have some very unusual tastes.
Matvei has been looking for Anissa ever since she shamed his family. Anissa has been hiding out under the protection of the Irish mob, but once a deal is settled between the Russians and the Irish, Anissa is free game – she just doesn’t it.
I loved how everything played out and how these two played the ultimate game of cat and mouse. But it’s once these two find some common ground, secrets and lies unfold and they find themselves fighting more than just each other.
Jane wrote this story flawlessly. There is zero pause in the intensity, and the spicy scenes are perfection. Jane does not hold back on anything and it just make this story all the more intense.
Matvei and Anissa are one of my favorite couples in this series and that is saying something because I have thoroughly enjoyed every book in this series so far. I am overly excited for the next book.

From USA Today bestselling author JD Hollyfield comes a sizzling, rule-breaking romance that will leave you breathless.
When Georgia receives the opportunity of a lifetime—an internship alongside her boyfriend for the summer—she never expects to be swept into an illicit affair with the one person she should avoid: his father.
In a whirlwind of family secrets, undeniable chemistry, and steamy passion, Georgia finds herself caught between a love that defies logic and the dangerous consequences of betrayal in this age-gap, forbidden romance that pushes every boundary.
Is their connection enough to withstand the explosion when the truth comes out, or will they burn in the embers?
This novel may contain triggers. Don’t say you weren’t warned…
First off, this book had me in a chokehold – which Jackson would love to hear. I read this book within a day, but each time I had to pause for whatever reason (work and family – always so needy), this book was on my mind. I had to know what was going to happen next.
Second – Jackson – damn. I am not one that’s into his kinks, the whole degrading thing but damn he made it sound hot and Georgia begged for it – ALOT.
Third – the plotline. WOW. There is alot that goes on in this story and it keeps you right at the edge the entire time. As much as Jackson and Georgia’s forbidden secret played a key role, the suspense and blackmail happening was just as enticing.
JD did a fantastic job of blending everything going on in this book into one high-octane story that leaves you breathless, in so many ways. This book had me on edge the entire time and even though I was right on things, it was how it all played that made this story perfect.
And I can’t forget Noah – he’s why all this happened to begin with. I am looking forward to more from him…
Meet J.D. Hollyfield:
Thanks for joining me for a cocktail and some girl talk. I live the dream in my own slice of paradise where I get to enjoy colorful sunsets from my rocking chair while I’m working. I have my very own romance hero with Mr. Rose and there’s more than a few little rose buds running around. A couple aren’t so little anymore! We keep things interesting with cats and a dog and the critters that roam though the yard (fingers crossed the mountain lions stay away).
