It’s easier to forgive someone at fault than to forget.
Larken Maynard knows fear. Though not the kind she’s experienced while working as a paranormal investigator on the hit show, Haunted New Orleans. Her terror stems from the sadistic, manipulative group who held her hostage for most of her life. Those who condemned her for her natural-born gifts. The people she barely escaped with her life. And now, they’re back. Looking to return her to the fold and control her once again. But Lark won’t go down without a fight. And the man who used to be her friend and confidant is in for a rude awakening if he thinks she will.
Kholt Leroy has never really known anything but Balance of Light. They are his family, his friends. The ranch was his childhood home. He always wondered why his best friend disappeared, and he’s missed her greatly…for far too long. So, when he runs into her again, he’s thrilled. Unfortunately, he’s unprepared for what he finds. She’s not the person he remembers, and the stories she tells flips his entire world on its axis. Now, he must decide between the woman he has always cared about and the only family he’s ever known.
Rayvn Salvador is a lifelong bibliophile who left her eighteen-year IT career in Software Quality Assurance to live her dream: getting paid to read as a full-time editor (done as her alter ego), and to write when the mood strikes. She lives in Florida with three crazy cats and her incredibly supportive beau, dreaming about the Midwest’s changing leaves as she perfects her yoga poses on the beach.
Feeling completely sapped of life, Rain and her daughter move to the suburbs of Fairview, where white picket fences, welcoming neighbors, and immaculate green lawns make her forget the pain she’s running from. Settling into her new life, she can’t stop thinking about the guy who wrecked her car. He’s charming, says the right things, and crashed into her life right when she needs it the most. It’s only natural Mr. Handsome presents Rai with a big, shiny rock to make it picture perfect.
Then a new neighbor moves down the street. Menacing sleeves of tattoos, a permanent scowl, single with no kids—he doesn’t belong in this family-friendly community.
People are whispering.
Doors are staying locked.
Secrets are being shared.
Heart pleasing love doesn’t exist here. It digs a grave and lies in it, whispering untold truths. The quaint town of Fairview isn’t so safe anymore—and neither is Rain.

Miller just may become my favorite hockey player in this series!
Scoring Chance is the newest release in the standalone series, Carolina Comets from Teagan Hunter.
If you’ve read previous books in this series (which you don’t have to) then you’ll know that Miller is known to be a flirt and quite the playboy.
However, we get a deeper understanding of Miller in this book & it absolutely made me love him more.
Scout is the owner of the donut truck that a good chunk of the team visits on the regular. However, she’s been giving Miller some heated stares ever since he didn’t recognize her when they were a mutual friend’s house.
Scoring Chance is fully character driven with very minimal plot and surprisingly, that didn’t bother me one bit. I loved getting to know both Miller & Scout on a deeper level and seeing what made them tick. What I enjoyed even more was watching the growth.
Teagan definitely allowed these two to tell their story and it played out beautifully. Another great story to add to this series.
TEAGAN HUNTER is a Missouri-raised gal but currently lives in South Carolina with her Marine veteran husband, where she spends her days begging him for a cat. She survives off coffee, pizza, and sarcasm. When she’s not writing, you can find her binge-watching various TV shows, especially Supernatural and One Tree Hill. She enjoys cold weather, buys more paperbacks than she’ll ever read, and never says no to brownies.
Holden Moore can have any girl he wants… except the coach’s daughter.
Quarterback Sneak by Kandi Steiner is now live!
Quarterback Holden Moore can have any girl he wants. Except me: the coach’s daughter.
With piercing green eyes, herculean biceps, and irresistible dimples, Holden is the number one target for every girl on campus. But according to his teammates, football is the only love of his life.
He’s their leader, their QB1 and team captain who is all business and no play.
But when I’m with him? Mr. Serious isn’t serious at all. He loves to push my buttons, to pin me with those sexy eyes of his and tease me until I bite back.
I remind him I’m off limits. He can’t have me, and I don’t want him—or anyone else, for that matter.
I’m here for one reason: to show my father I’m more than his greatest disappointment.
But when an old injury flares up and I’m forced to work with Holden every day as his athletic trainer, his attempts to get under my skin start becoming harder to resist.
We can’t give in, no matter how much the air crackles between us when we’re close. I’m the coach’s daughter, and if Holden Moore wants to go pro, he’s got to play by daddy’s rules.
Otherwise, he’ll be off the team. And he’s not the only one with something to lose.

Quarterback Sneak is Kandi’s newest release in her sports romance series, Red Zone Rivals and she keeps delivering touchdown after touchdown with each book.
These books can be read as full standalones as each book features a different couple. Quarterback Sneak is Holden and Julep’s story and it’s quite the angsty one.
Holden is the captain and QB1 for his football team. It’s his last season in college and they have a new head coach. The day they meet their new coaching staff, they are also introduced to the coach’s daughter who is joining their athletic training team. But one thing coach makes clear to everyone, his daughter is off limits to all or they will suffer the consequences.
Julep traveled with her dad to a new state and college for various reasons, but her number one reason being she wants to prove to her father that she’s ready to do things on her own. Julep is very closed off to everyone but her father. The last few years have been rough for her and he’s been there every step of the way.
Julep may have moved with her dad, but her biggest step is living in her own place with a roommate, which also just happens to be across the street from The Pit – the place in which a few football players reside and where all their parties are at.
Holden and Julep are both focused are their goals and doing their best to avoid any distractions that could deter them. But neither anticipated each other and Coach’s rule just adds another layer to that attraction.
Kandi wrote this story beautifully. I was invested from start to finish and loved every bit in between. These two definitely toe the line and the angst level is really up there. I loved every bit of their story – the characters, the plot and the writing. All of it just made for an authentic read and a story to remember.
Kandi Steiner is an Amazon Top 5 bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.
An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.”
She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.

FORBIDDEN FRENCH by R.S. Grey is coming November 10th and we’re so excited to be sharing the gorgeous cover reveal!
Title: Forbidden French
Author: R.S. Grey
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 10th
About Forbidden French:
Once upon a time, Emmett Mercier was the golden boy of St. John’s Boarding School. The crown prince of his father’s vast business empire, unapologetically attractive…oh, and fluent in French.
At school, I kept a picture of him hidden beneath my pillow, a tiny token of my adolescent infatuation, but I might as well have been worshiping a distant demigod. He was hardly aware of my existence. I was far too young, and he was far too consequential—until one day we found ourselves alone together in the dark library and struck up a friendship…of sorts.
But in the years since leaving St. John’s, I’ve no longer bothered yearning for Emmett. What a useless dream. I would have gone crazy trying to keep up with his jet-setting life. Which Parisian hotel is he calling home now? Is there some new lithe model draping herself across his lap today?
My negligence comes back to bite me. I’m ill-prepared the day he strides into my art gallery. There’s only a mere trace of the boy I once knew. Self-assured, handsome, intoxicating—Emmett is more man than I can handle.
There’s no room for him in my gilded cage. My life is planned to a T. From where I go to how I dress, it all depends on the calculated whims of my grandmother. Soon, I’ll even dutifully walk down the aisle toward a man of her choosing.
Emmett can’t stand my obedience. Now that we’ve rekindled our friendship, he’s intent on unearthing my heart’s true motives.
And therein lies the problem: I was doing just fine without him, but now that he’s rattling the bars of my cage, I’m forced to acknowledge the truth.
Once upon a time, Emmett Mercier was all I wanted. The midnight wanderings, the whispered nothings, the unbearable longing—they etched indelible marks on my soul. Even now, after all these years, my heart is only fluent in one language.
Forbidden French.

Synopsis
We met on a Tuesday.
Became best friends, then lovers, on a Tuesday.
And everything fell apart on a Tuesday…
Charlotte Taylor has three automatic strikes in my book: 1) She hates me. She also claims that I’m a “domineering jerk with a huge, overbearing ego.” (I do have something huge. It’s not my ego, though.) 2) She takes our mandatory tutoring sessions way too seriously. 3) She’s sexy as hell…And a virgin.
At least, those were her strikes before our study sessions started lasting longer than they were supposed to. Until one innocent kiss became a hundred dirty ones, and until she became the first woman I ever fell hard for.
Our future together after graduation was supposed to be set:
Professional football for me. Law school for her.
But she left me at the end of the semester with no explanation, and then she completely disappeared from my life.
Until tonight.
We met on a Tuesday.
Became everything, then nothing, on a Tuesday.
And now it’s seven years later, on a Tuesday…

I watched him in high school. Knew his reputation. Knew he was wealthy, privileged, and mean. He ran the show back then, a partier and a player. Then he came back from college, back to the town I never left. He’s different now. He comes into the bar, and I know his routine. I know which stool he’ll pick. I know his favorite drink. I know which sports team he’ll want on the television screen. And I watch as he gets hit on. Sometimes he leaves the bar with a woman. Sometimes he doesn’t. But I’m always there, tending to his drinks. He gives me a smile and a polite nod back. Then one night, after a long appraising stare, he asked, “Ava, why are you single?” I leaned in, told him a lie, knowing the truth. What I didn’t know was that my world was about to shatter after that night.
Something else I didn’t know: would the man I watched all those years help put my heart back together… or smash it into pieces?

Synopsis
Please leave your message at the sound of the beep…
Penelope, I know that it’s three o’clock in the morning, but I need to get this off my chest.
I can’t give you any more advice on landing this other guy, can’t tell you another “sexy” thing that you should do, or suggest a new set of filthy words that you should text him late at night.
As your best friend, I’ve reached my limit, and I can honestly say that he doesn’t deserve you.
I’m not saying all of this because I’m fucking jealous, or because he had the audacity to say that he makes more money than me. (I still can’t find his name on the Forbes 500 list, and I know damn well that he’s renting that Ferrari, but that’s a story for a different day.)
He’s not who you think he is, and the better man has always been right in front of you…
You have every reason to never give me a chance since you know me better than anyone, and you agree with all the tabloids calling me The Cocky King of New York, and the Untamed Playboy of Manhattan. But I honestly believe that you’re better off with someone else, and I need you to see.

Crew Madigan is a snowboarding legend. He’s gorgeous, rich, famous and every woman’s dream. Well, except mine. I’ll take a nerdy guy with a clumsy streak who wouldn’t know what to do with a pair of skis to save his life. Superstar athletes? No, thanks. World champions? Hard pass. Crew? Definitely not. It’s been over a decade since Crew set foot on Madigan Mountain. Instead of sitting with his family during his brother’s wedding, he takes the chair beside mine. ESPN really doesn’t do that chiseled jaw justice. The cameras miss the flecks of gold in his eyes. When he invites me to his hotel room after the wedding, I break all of my own rules for just one night. But here’s the problem with just one night. Crew is impossible to forget. And he’s not the only one who loves a thrill. The crash, the broken bones, are inevitable. Because together, we’re a little too wild.

A little Too Wild is the third book in the Madigan Mountain series and each book is written by a different author. While the books do surround a particular family, you can read them in any order and not miss anything.
ALTW features Crew Madigan. He’s a snowboard legend and hasn’t returned home since he left over a decade ago. He’s now returned for his brother’s wedding but doesn’t intend to stay longer than needed. Too many memories and no reason to truly stay.
Raven is Crew’s best friend’s sister. They’ve never seen the other as anything more than friends. But on the night of his brother’s wedding, they decide one night won’t kill them and give into this new attraction they seem to have discovered.
Devney does a superb job of giving this story some great depth and keeping the characters authentic and real. I love that she blends the snowboarding aspect beautifully and it all just blends wonderfully. Devney delivers the right amount of angst, drama and spice to keep readers turning the pages.
Another great story that readers will love!
Meet Devney
Devney is a USA Today bestselling author who lives in Washington with her husband and two sons. Born and raised in Montana, she loves writing books set in her treasured home state. After working in the technology industry for nearly a decade, she abandoned conference calls and project schedules to enjoy a slower pace at home with her family. Writing one book, let alone many, was not something she ever expected to do. But now that she’s discovered her true passion for writing romance, she has no plans to ever stop.
Hollywood screenwriter Sawyer Walsh knows a good love story when he sees it. But when it comes to real life romance, he’s a mess. That’s how he finds himself standing at the altar…as his ex-girlfriend ties the knot with his very famous best friend. The pressure, the resentment, the media coverage—it’s all too much—and before he knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s making a run for it, leaving a shocked congregation and flashing cameras in his wake.
Needing to lie low amid the media fallout, Sawyer lands in the charming town of Canoodle, California, where he crosses paths with Fallon Long, who runs the Canoodle Cove Cabins, a family-owned business and Sawyer’s new short-term residence. Overwhelmed with renovations and her long list of responsibilities, Fallon is struggling to make ends meet while attempting to bring the cabins back to their original glory. So when Sawyer arrives, she is grateful for the income, but immediately writes him off as just another vapid Hollywood hack, until he begins to prove her wrong at every turn.
As Fallon comes closer to saving the family business, an undeniable bond forms between her and the handsome screenwriter. But the pressures of her family obligations and Sawyer’s notoriety might prove to be too much for anyone to handle. Could Canoodle be the setting for a new romance—or is true love just a Hollywood cliché?
