From New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg comes a sizzling novella in the Malone Brothers series.
A stubborn heroine. A broody SWAT commander. One lesson in control that changes everything.
Control is something Desi Whitman detests. Life is too short to color inside the lines—especially when chaos feels safer than order. But when a stalker shatters her sense of security, she reluctantly signs up for self-defense classes. And in that class, she comes face-to-face with the one man determined to break through her walls.
Reznor Mayne lives and breathes control. As a former SWAT commander, he knows the cost of one wrong move. Taking a temporary teaching role in Sunnyville was supposed to be a break from the past—but Desi is the kind of messy temptation he can’t walk away from.
What starts as a battle of wills soon becomes something neither of them can fight—a pull too strong, a heat too consuming, and a connection that proves sometimes the best way to take control . . . is to let go.

In The Coopers, family power meets forbidden passion, and one wrong move can cost you the team… or your heart. Perfect for fans of the ruthless tension of Succession and the dark, aching obsession of Wuthering Heights. At thirty-six, Fin Graham is a legend, a veteran quarterback, dangerously handsome, and built to win. The field. The season. Me. I never thought I’d see him again, not after he disappeared and shattered me without a word. But now he’s been traded onto my family’s team, the Lexington Coopers—my turf, my legacy, and the one place I swore he’d never touch. No one knows our past. No one knows how hard I loved him… or how deep the betrayal cut. And if I have any sway with the team’s owner—my father—Fin’s contract will be the shortest in franchise history. But the problem with old heartbreaks? They remember how to start beating again. Fin wants a second chance. I want revenge… or maybe I just want him. And the time clock is almost out. With the future of the Lexington Coopers on the line, we have to decide if we’re working together or against one another.
From the bestselling author of Infidelity and Sin comes a scorching, high-stakes romantic suspense series set in the seductive, cutthroat world of the NFL. The Coopers is a four-book saga following one explosive couple. INTERCEPTED ends on a cliffhanger—an unforgettable Aleatha blindside.
Intercepted is a great start to this newest series from Aleatha.
This is a second-chance, sports romance and I am here for this.
First off, I can tell that Aleatha took time to learn not only about the game of football, but owning a team and running it. I absolutely loved all the nuisances added in about the actual sport and the ins and outs of how everything is done from top to bottom.
Second, this story has alot of depth to it with these characters and their story. This particular book is about Maeve (Vee) and Fin but we get to meet all of Maeve’s family (not just immediate either) and how everyone is connected.
Third, the pacing of this story is perfection. I love that it’s not only told from both Vee and Fin’s POVs but it also jumps back to the past, so we can how well these two connected in the past, where things went off-rails, to the present and where they go from here.
Aleatha delivers a very emotionally-charged story with strong characters that you will love. The secondary characters play a pivotal role in the overall plot and but they do not overwhelm things.
I love how everything just blends so well – from the sports aspect, the family dynamics, to the romance – it all just flows perfectly and keeps you engaged in the story the entire time.
As for the ending – I was not expecting that at all. In true Aleatha fashion, she leaves me speechless and wanting the next book NOW!
A definite MUST READ!!

A forgotten prophecy.
A 300-year-old curse.
And two people bound by a goddess to break it… if the bond doesn’t break them first.
In Lunaris, everyone trades their memories for asylum. No one remembers their past, their homeland, or the curse that trapped them behind a wall of darkness called the Shroud. But they don’t dare break the rules set upon them.
Ada Acevedo has spent years hiding her healing gift and keeping her head down. But when her twin brother is struck by a poisoned arrow, she breaks the most dangerous rule of all. She bargains with the goddess of death to save his life. She didn’t expect the goddess to send Malachi Bain–an infuriating warrior–to collect. Much less to be soul-bound to him until she repays what she owes. Now Ada has no choice but to help him do the impossible: lift the Shroud and break the curse that’s kept Lunaris hidden from the rest of the realm for three hundred years. As she’s pulled deeper into a world of forbidden prophecies and buried secrets, Ada discovers a devastating truth. Lunaris isn’t the paradise she always thought it was. It’s a cage. And on the other side, a monster is lurking–waiting for the Shroud to fall. Waiting for her.
Wicked Altar: A Dark Irish Mafia Arranged Marriage Romance by Jane Henry is now live!
I’ve hated Cavin McCarthy since the day he made me cry in a school cupboard.
He was my tormentor—the cruel bastard who turned my name into a joke and my life into hell.
Now? He’s my fiancé.
An arranged marriage neither of us wanted, brokered by families who deal in blood and power. I’d refuse if I could. But my sister is dying, and the McCarthy’s hold the key to saving her life.
So I’ll walk down the aisle. I’ll say the vows. I’ll become Mrs. Cavin McCarthy.
But I’ll never forgive the arrogant jerk.
Except… the monster I remember isn’t the man before me now. The boy who destroyed me has become someone who’d burn the world down to keep me safe. Who touches me like I’m something precious instead of ruined. Whose rough hands and rougher words unravel every defense I’ve built.

I’m thinking about surrender.
And in the McCarthy family, surrender might be the most dangerous thing of all.

BLURB
It started with a message from a stranger.
Or so I thought.
Beneath a veil of anonymity, he lured out my secrets, fears, and desires.
Behind the mask, he could be anyone.
And somehow, it felt safer not knowing.
He comes to me under the cover of darkness, pulling me deeper into this forbidden game.
I give myself to him, knowing the consequences could destroy my life.
I just didn’t expect him to be the one to ruin me.
When the mask comes off, the truth cuts deep.
He isn’t just a man obsessed.
He’s the same man who’s hated me for the last nine years.
In the Cosa Nostra, they call him Il Lupo.
The wolf.
And all this time…
I’ve been his prey.
This book was everything!! It was so good, I never marked that I was reading it, and over a week after finishing it, I can still vividly picture this story in my head.
Romeo – wow this man impressed me with his unhinged ways. He is why women love fictional chaotic, and psychotic stalkers.
Gabi – Zavarelli wrote this character perfectly and beautifully. She is neurodivergent, and Zavarelli captures this so well – she is one of my favorite characters ever written. I was able to so easily understand and relate to her so well.
I will not go into story details, just know that the blurb only scratches the surface, and Zavarelli delivers a compelling story with multifaceted characters and a very well-developed plot. And while this is lower on the mafia-level side, it was still high-octane in other ways, and that definitely made for a very intriguing read.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
About A. Zavarelli:
A. Zavarelli is a USA Today and Amazon bestselling author of dark and contemporary romance.
When she’s not putting her characters through hell, she can usually be found watching bizarre and twisted documentaries in the name of research.
She currently lives in the Northwest with her lumberjack and an entire brood of fur babies.
An obstinate ex–NHL player meets his match in a cheerfully resilient wedding planner prone to chaos in this sweet and spicy romantic comedy about game-changing second chances.
Wedding planner Odette Chambers has a knack for ruining every ceremony she touches. But her latest gig could be a curse breaker. The bride is her best friend, Izzy, and the venue is a local cidery with the Pacific Northwest mountains as a beautiful backdrop. The cidery’s only rotten apple is its owner, former NHL player Noah Stevens—Izzy’s older brother and a recently divorced, fully committed grump who doesn’t believe in happy endings.
But Noah can’t say no to his hopeful little sister. His decision sends Odette barreling into his life, and she insists on making picture-perfect renovations to his cidery. She’s demanding, irritatingly optimistic, and quite possibly the prettiest woman he’s ever seen. Noah is turning Odette’s head, too, but if she wants a wedding to finally go off without a hitch, he’s a handsome distraction she can’t afford. Right?
As Noah risks a second chance at love, Odette’s luck might change as well. For better or for worse.

For once, I can say the blurb may not be enough to make readers want to go, “this is interesting, I want to read this” because it lacks a few key details. Odette has always had this small crush on Noah but she’s always been a thorn in his side.
And now they are forced to work together to deliver the perfect wedding for Noah’s sister, who just so happens to be Odette’s best friend. Let the chaos begin.
This book is fast paced, but a slow-burn romance. There is alot of banter, low-angst and mild spice. It’s an entertaining rom-com.

But then the unexpected happens. One night, when both of our walls are down, I see a glimpse of something other than distaste in his eyes. And it has me wondering if I’ve misjudged the man that has always gotten under my skin.
When those boundaries are crossed, there’s no turning back. Camden is on a mission and will do whatever it takes to make me his…
What it Takes is book two in the interconnected, standalone Windy Harbor series.
