Image
  Action, intrigue, and magic collide in this epic fantasy following Sir Konrad Vonvalt, an Emperor's Justice, who is a detective, judge, and executioner all in one—but with rebellion and unrest building, these are dangerous times to be a Justice . . . The Empire of the Wolf simmers with unrest. Rebels, heretics, and powerful patricians all challenge the power of the Imperial throne.  Only the Order of Justices stands in the way of chaos.

The Rocker's Muse by Penelope Ward (Excerpt Reveal)

  Title: The Rocker's Muse Author: Penelope Ward Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Tropes: Rockstar/15-Year Age Gap/Small Town Found Family/Slow Burn/Forbidden Release Date: August 26, 2024 BLURB From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel… No one but me knew why I was actually in the California desert that day. Nestled deep within the desolate, rocky area was a recording studio. When a door suddenly opened, a man mistook me for someone he was supposed to be interviewing for a job. The next thing I knew, I was whisked inside. The position? An assistant on the upcoming tour for one of America’s most famous rock bands. Pretty exciting opportunity for a twenty-two-year-old, just out of college. Not surprisingly, I bombed the interview. When I ended up mistakenly walking into the men’s room on my way out, I struck up a conversation with a stranger—not realizing it was the lead singer, Tristan Daltrey. He seemed to like the fact that

Delicate Escape by Catherine Cowles (Sneak Peak)

  🩷 DELICATE ESCAPE SNEAK PEEK 🩷 USA Today bestseller, Catherine Cowles, has a sneak peek for the next book in the Sparrow Falls Series, Delicate Escape, coming August 22nd!   Thea twisted the bag around her fingers, tightening it with each revolution, but she didn’t move toward the house. A heaviness settled back in my gut. “There’s no rush, Thorn. I don’t set foot inside that house until you’re ready for me to be there.” Her brown eyes cut to me. “Why are you being so nice?” There was suspicion there, and I knew that if I didn’t tell her the truth now—and all of it—I’d lose any shot with Thea. For friendship or more. She needed to know that I wouldn’t hide things from her. Wouldn’t lie. So, I gave it to her. “I like you. Even when you were prickly as all hell, I admired it. There’s something real about you. An honesty you don’t see a lot these days. And there’s kindness. You might try to hide it beneath those thorns you love so much, but I’ve seen it. And, somehow, it’s more poten

Northern Twilight by Samantha Young (review)

Image
  Northern Twilight by Samantha Young is now live!  She’s the girl he left behind. He’s the boy she tried to forget. But after seven years apart, one passionately reckless night will tie them together forever… As teenagers, Callie Ironside and Lewis Adair were inseparable. So much so, Lewis still can’t work out where it all went horribly wrong, or why he’s spent the last seven years in London away from the love of his life. Callie knows exactly where it all went wrong and while she tried to move on—learning pastry techniques in Paris and dating French men—returning home to Ardnoch to work in her mother’s bakery, only reminds her of the future she lost with Lewis. But when a visit to London brings them unexpectedly together, the passion, pain and animosity between them leads to a one-night stand. For Lewis, it’s the beginning of winning Callie and his life in Ardnoch back. For Callie, it’s a mistake that’s shaken up the devastating heartbreak she fought hard to forget. However, Lewis is

The Rules of Dating a Younger Man by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

Image
  Title: The Rules of Dating a Younger Man Authors: Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative Photographer: Ren Saliba Model: Shaun Collins Release Date: September 15, 2024 BLURB I was the last of my group of friends to find “the one.” The guys would always tease me that I needed to hurry up and settle down. But I was in no rush. Until I met someone worth rushing for. Alex was one of the weekend volunteers at Ryan’s House —a charity I founded to build housing near hospitals. Little did I know she was the same person I’d been arguing with over email before the project started. At the time, I’d thought Alex was a dude . In reality? She was a smoking hot blonde who captivated me from the moment we met in person. Our chemistry was off the charts, and I fell hard pretty fast. Unfortunately, Alex insisted I was too young for her. I hated that she felt that way. Because age was just a number. Not only tha
