Cover Reveal…The Homemaker by Jewel E. Ann

Jewel E. Ann has revealed the cover for The Homemaker!

Releasing: September 30, 2025

Cover Designer: Boja99designs

Photographer: Anna Krueger

A romance inspired by TS Fortnight”

I was hers, but she was never mine.

Alice Yates is the hired “homemaker” for the Morrisons, an affluent couple in Minneapolis. For Alice, it’s a dream job to dress up like a 1950s housewife and read romance novels to Mr. Morrison before his afternoon nap.

But when the Morrisons’ only daughter returns home for the summer with her fiancé, Alice comes face- to-face with her shattered past—the only threat to her perfect life.

Eight years earlier, vacation rental owner Murphy Paddon had an impeccable vinyl record collection and did the most irresistible thing before kissing Alice, earning him a five-star rating. Their fortnight love affair was life-altering and ended tragically.

Murphy doesn’t know if Alice remembers him or whether he should tell his fiancée that the hired-help living in the guesthouse is the woman who irreparably broke his heart. He needs closure, but will the lingering glances and silent yearning lead to the end or just the beginning?

He caught me by the arms, his touch cold and impersonal, and righted me against a glass wall.

“Why are you doing this?” I whispered.

He stared me down serenely. He oozed power, this unabashed male roughness that made me swallow a whimper.

“You cannot be all good, and I cannot be all bad. We have to meet somewhere in the middle for people to buy this marriage,” he said, ignoring my question.

“But you are all bad!” I protested, balling my fists to pound his chest. It was as solid as stone beneath the rich fabric.

The notebook slipped from between my arms between us.

“That’s not true. I am very good with giving women earth-shattering orgasms. References are available upon request.

He smirked, his face still dangerously close to mine. What lay behind his eyes made my pulse quicken. Possessiveness mixed with something else. Desperation maybe.

His marble cheekbones were flushed, his nostrils narrow. For a brief moment, I thought he’d lean down and kiss me. I’d let him too.

Because even though I hated him, even though I loathed the idea of his very existence, I was curious to know what it felt like.

To be kissed by a man who owned the entire world, who had infinite power, no limits, no restraints, no conscience.

My lips parted. I could feel his breath against my own. I would find a way to get him back tomorrow. To punish him for what he was doing to me. But right now, in this minute, I wanted him like air. Like oxygen.

Cover Reveal…Betrayed in the Darkness by Ashley Elizabeth

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.

Harlow Dawson went through something terrible while working a case in Los Angeles. She fell in love. To be fair, the love part wasn’t so bad, but the betrayal left her devastated and in police custody. She returned home to decide how to move forward. One thing was for certain. Her life wouldn’t include Jensen Wiley. Two years later she’s back on her feet, working with her best friend, and building her business. She’s been falling for a new guy at The Hideout. Niall Griffen makes her feel safe. Until she learns his secret at the worst possible time.

Jensen Wiley has spent years working his way up in the criminal organization that took his brother’s life. The only thing that ever threatened to break his need for revenge was meeting Harlow Dawson. She became his partner until he realized she was being drawn into the darkest part of the organization. He had very little time to get her out and didn’t think she would go quietly. He knows his betrayal saved her life, but he hasn’t stopped loving her. Now they’re in the same city and he needs someone watching over her. He means to keep his distance until she walks right into the middle of his mission.

Niall Griffen has worried about his best friend, Jensen, for years. When Jensen asks him to watch over the woman he loves, Niall reluctantly agrees. The trouble is he falls for her too. If nothing happens, he doesn’t feel there’s any reason to talk to his friend about their unrequited love triangle. But after one night together changes everything, Niall knows he needs a new plan to make sure no one gets their heart broken. The good news? Harlow comes from a family with an interesting dynamic. He just might be able to make this work for all of them.

Things begin to unravel when Jensen’s past comes back to haunt him and the man he’s been hunting threatens to turn the tables on him. Protecting Harlow is now the only priority and might just send them all right into the relationship they all need.

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?

Striking by Bella Matthews is now live!

An accidental marriage, forbidden, billionaire romance, From USA Today and #1 Amazon Best Selling Author, Bella Matthews.



In my defense, I never planned on marrying my husband.

But after one wild night and one too many cocktails, I wake up tangled in silk sheets, with a diamond ring on my finger, a sinfully sexy prince next to me in bed, and palace guards banging on the door with devastating news.

The king is dead.
And apparently, my accidental husband is next in line for the throne.

Now I’m stuck navigating crowns, cameras, and a man I barely know but somehow can’t keep my hands off—all while figuring out what to do with this mistake of a marriage. But Rhys Windsor doesn’t look at me like a mistake. He looks at me like I’m his only truth.

They say a little white lie never hurt anyone… but this little lie could destroy a dynasty.

Striking was so much more than I anticipated. If you have read previous books in this series, then you know about Bellamy. But readers really get to know her in this book and she is a powerhouse.

And there is Rhys – he swept me off my feet with his adoration and love for Bellamy.

I am not saying anything else – this book was perfection and I loved every bit of it.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Ruining Hattie by P. Rayne

Ruining Hattie by P. Rayne is now live!

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.

I love this darker side of Piper Rayne.

How can two completely opposite people create an amazing story (and I’m not talking about the authors) – Ruining Hattie is how.

Bastian has nothing to lose. Hattie is a church-going girl who has never stepped on the wrong side.

These two authors know how to create characters with many layers, allow them to grow and yet not lose who they are at the core.

The journey for Bastian and Hattie was perfection – the plot flowed beautifully and the romance blossomed at the right time. Phenomenal writing.

This duo once again blew me away.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Sweet Distraction by K.Bromberg

Sweet Distraction by K. Bromberg is now live!

Willow Adams is hired to help him adjust to being a dad—a steady, grounded nanny with a soft heart and a quiet strength he can’t ignore. She’s nothing like the women he’s used to. And maybe that’s exactly why he can’t stay away.

What starts as a temporary arrangement turns into something deeper, just as a custody battle threatens to take it all away. Rocket never wanted to be a father. But now? He’ll fight like hell—for the adorable little girl who changed everything, and the unexpected woman he never saw coming.

If this happens to be the last book in this series, Kristy ended it perfectly.

Sweet Distraction is Rocket’s story. Without giving too much away, Rocket grows so much in this story. He is why I love this story so much. Willow is the perfect soulmate for Rocket.

I love this band of brothers and how they are so supportive of another.

Kristy wrote this one brilliantly. I want to say so much but I don’t want to ruin any reader’s experience by saying the wrong thing. This book will pull at our heartstrings in so many ways.

Sweet Distraction may be a rockstar romance but it’s on the sweeter side of romance and just shows another side to a rockstar.

A highly recommended read.

Release Day Blitz…Where We Bloom by Kristen Proby

Where We Bloom by Kristen Proby is now live!

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes Where We Bloom, an Age Gap, Billionaire, Best Friend’s Brother romance set in Bitterroot Valley!



Connor

After an explosive night together, I thought I’d never see the gorgeous bookstore owner again.
We didn’t exchange names and numbers, and when I left her asleep the following morning, I didn’t intend to pursue her. I don’t have time for relationships nor entanglements.

I’m the CEO of Gallagher Hotels, and my life is spent traveling around the world, focusing on my business, not a small town in Montana. Even if my thoughts keep returning to the most incredible woman I’ve ever met.

It turns out, my mystery woman, Billie, is my sister’s best friend, and she’s suddenly everywhere I turn. She’s become my obsession and all I think about. She’s become the only thing that means more to me than running my empire. And I’m determined to have her.

Billie

Owning a bookstore in my hometown of Bitterroot Valley has been my lifelong dream since I was a little girl. The only thing that brings me more joy is my love of thrift stores and coffee.

And, maybe, the sexy Irishman with intense emerald-colored eyes that take my breath away. His charming accent, how he looks at me, and the way he spoils me with lavish gifts are just the icing on the cake. I’ve tried to stay away from him, but my resolve is slipping. Nothing is better than being in Connor’s arms and feeling like I’m the most important woman in his world. But being with a high-profile billionaire comes with a price. Can we withstand the storm headed our way, or are we destined to fall apart like delicate blooms in the wind?
