  Title: The House Guest Author: Penelope Ward Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Tropes: Billionaire Hero/Roommates/Twist Slow Burn/Angsty/Opposites Attract Release Date: August 31, 2025 BLURB From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE contemporary romance… The last thing Dorian Vanderbilt expected was to find me painting in my crop top when he returned to the mansion he hadn’t inhabited in years. He was understandably surprised I’d turned his living room into an art space. Life is certainly full of surprises, though, but not always in a good way. I learned that lesson when my aunt and the billionaire she married died unexpectedly while traveling. I’d been living with them, and just like that, my life was turned on its axis. Unsure of what was next, I stayed alone at the barren estate figuring out my next move. That was when Dorian—the late billionaire’s only son—showed up. I’d never met Dorian Vanderbilt. He’d been living on the ot...

  A DEVIL DOESN'T BARGAIN MercyAnn Summers Release Date: August 21 AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED If only reality was a simple truth, and devils only existed in dark fairy tales. What do you do when someone you love goes missing and the only lead you have is a notorious motorcycle gang known for stealing and selling off women? In most cases, the authorities get called, a missing person’s report gets filed, an investigation ensues. Most people use these official channels to get word out, to keep themselves out of harm's way, to keep hope that the loved one will be located, happy ending or otherwise. But I am not most people. I don't call authorities or file reports because an official investigation wouldn’t delve deep enough into evil to solve the mystery that is the disappearance of my sister. An evil that runs so deep it’s impossible to know who is truly trustworthy, and who I can count on when the final showdown comes and I’m face-to-f...

Ugh. My aching head. I lifted it from the pillow and looked around the room. Where the hell am I? This was definitely not my room at Sierra Wellness Center, and why the heck are my eyes burning so much? I must’ve left my contacts in last night. I blinked a few times, attempting to get rid of the dryness. It helped, but when my vision came into focus, I found myself staring into the eyes of…a giant moose. “Holy shit!” I jumped from the bed and landed on my ass on the hard floor. Clunk-clunk. Click. Clunk-clunk. Click. My grandfather had loved old westerns, so I knew the unmistakable sound of a shotgun being pumped and cocked. I squeezed my eyes shut and raised my hands into the air. I might’ve also peed my pants a...
