Release Day Blitz & Review…A Hateful Negotiation by Tijan

A Hateful Negotiation by Tijan is now live!

In a slow-burn mafia romance from New York Times bestselling author Tijan, a dangerous psychopath—and deadly crime boss—drops his defenses for the one girl he’s vowed to protect.

Creighton was a dangerous crime boss with a growing empire. And he’s a psychopath.

He’s also obsessed with Blake.

She wanted a normal life. That meant new friends and a life without Creighton.

Except when Blake moves to New York for her senior year of college, Creighton follows because he knows that danger is close behind. He has always protected Blake, and he always will protect her, even if Blake hates how ruthless Creighton has become for her.

However, once they’re in New York, the dynamics between the two begin to change. Tensions heat up, and soon their chemistry is sizzling beyond what Blake can handle.

That means that their usual back-and-forth has to change, with new rules and a new agreement.

Perhaps this negotiation could be for their happily ever after?

They’ll just need to survive each other first…

Tijan – you never fail to deliver a gripping story that keeps me invested from start to finish.

We met Blake in a previous book (A Captive Situation) but we really get to know her in this book. And boy do I love her so much.

Creighton is without a doubt, a villain. But Blake is his kryptonite. However, she just wants her freedom from him. I won’t on into their background (you will know if you read A Captive Situation) as I want new readers to experience their connection authentically without knowing before diving into this book.

I will that reading A Captive Situation before this one will probably help in setting the stage for this story, but isn’t necessary as only the ending of that book is helpful to the start of this one. But you will probably want to read other books in this series (Kings of New York) after reading this and see what they’re all about.

I digress, this is a slow-burn romance. Blake and Creighton have a past, but it’s not one you expect. The chemistry is there but can an obsession lead to a healthy relationship between Creighton and Blake?

Definitely a recommended read for those slow-burn, mafia romances.

Release Day Blitz…The Exception by Vi Keeland

Title: The Exception
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Boss/Intern, Dominant Hero, Billionaire
Release Date: January 11, 2026

BLURB

He lives by a set of rules. She might be his one exception.

I just wanted a distraction, something to take the edge off before facing a wedding I was dreading. So on the flight back to New York, I signed up for a dating app. Harmless enough, right?
Wrong.
Turns out, it wasn’t just any app—it catered to people with very specific tastes. By the time I realized it, I was already on my date.
Tall, confident, and sinfully handsome, Jagger Langston seemed like the full package. The chemistry between us was instant—electric enough to burn the whole city down. Though things took a turn when we figured out I’d misunderstood who should join the app. We laughed it off, said goodbye, and went our separate ways.
Or so I thought.
Until I walked into my new internship Monday morning, ready to put the weekend behind me, and there he was—my boss.
Now I’m caught between the rules he lives by—and the temptation to make him break every single one of them.

Cover Reveal…Wicked Altar by Jane Henry

Jane Henry has revealed the cover for Wicked Altar: A Dark Irish Mafia Arranged Marriage Romance!

Releasing: January 30, 2026

Cover Designer: Marika Veil

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.

When his fingers wrap around my throat and his voice goes low in my ear, I’m not thinking about revenge anymore…

I’m thinking about surrender.

And in the McCarthy family, surrender might be the most dangerous thing of all.

Cover Reveal…The Hotshot by Piper Rayne

Piper Rayne has revealed the cover for The Hotshot!

Releasing: February 17, 2026

Raising my cousin’s three kids wasn’t in my five-year plan.

Actually, it wasn’t in any plan.

One minute I’m a single labor and delivery nurse living a quiet life and the next, I’m navigating guardianship hearings, meltdowns, and homework I’m pretty sure requires a math degree.

Enter Hayes Carlisle.

My best friend’s older brother.

Chicago Colts newest catcher.

And the man I once kissed and immediately pretended I didn’t.

So, when the custody battle I’ve been dreading becomes a reality, I shouldn’t be surprised that Hayes swoops in with a wild idea—a fake relationship. According to him, pretending we’re together will polish his image and prove to the court I’m not taking on an instant family alone.

But pretending to be Hayes’ girlfriend is a terrible idea.

Because he remembers how to make me laugh.

Because he looks at me like our kiss wasn’t a one-time mistake.

Because the kids start asking him to read bedtime stories.

Because my heart starts wanting things my life doesn’t have room for.

I can manage the chaos. I can fight for these kids.

But pretending not to fall for Hayes Carlisle?

That might be the one thing I can’t do.
