The Challenge by Penelope Ward @penelopewardauthor @GiveMeBooksPR



Title: The Challenge
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Single Dad, Second Chance, Forced Proximity
Friends to Lovers, Small Town, Found Family
Release Date: August 30, 2026


BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE contemporary romance…

Nothing says welcome home like accidentally moving in with your first heartbreak…and his little girl.

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings.

Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay.

Evan—the guy my parents took in years ago after his mother died.
The same Evan who used to dare me into ridiculous challenges that somehow always made me stronger—a game we’d dubbed The Challenge.
The same guy who ultimately rejected me before I left for college after I’d finally garnered the courage to shoot my shot.

Now Evan was a rugged single dad with an eight-year-old daughter, a cocky attitude, and a dangerous ability to make me forget every reason I should still hate him.

Sharing a house with him should’ve been unbearable. Instead, it felt dangerously familiar, nearly making me forget that I had a life and a job to get back to in Chicago. I realized the biggest challenge wasn’t surviving living with Evan Ricci.

It was not falling in love with him all over again.

The only thing more dangerous than a hidden enemy… is one who steps into the light. She knows the name now.

When the architect of everything finally walked through Andi’s door wearing the face of a solution, Andi smiled and offered coffee.

Now the machine is cornered. Cornered machines don't retreat. They escalate."

The rules have changed. Witnesses disappear. People close to them are targeted — not as warnings, but as eliminations. The threat no longer stays hidden. It reaches into the places they once believed were safe. The gym. The house. The refuge Andi built for kids who had nowhere else to go.

She’s been afraid before. She knows how to do afraid.

But the truth buried in Andi's past will change the fight entirely — because it didn't start where she thought it did.

Luke Woods has one fight left before the title.

Andi Morgan has one chance to burn the machine down.

Survival isn't the goal. It's the bait.

Finish it.

Genre: MC Romance
Tropes: Biker Romance, Rival Clubs, Chosen Family

Chloe’s whole world was crumbling around her. Her father, Savage, was dead, and nothing would ever be the same. She wasn’t sure how she was supposed to go on until Vengeance walked into Savage Hell. When he told her that the Royal Bastard’s rival club was coming for her, she agreed to go with him to keep the rest of her family safe. The Dragons had kidnapped her when she was only seven, and her father had moved heaven and earth to get her out of there. She couldn’t put her family through that again. Growing up as Savage’s daughter had taught her one thing—sometimes, you had to fight for yourself, and that was exactly what she was going to do. If the Dragons wanted her, they’d have to find her first, and she planned on putting up quite a fight this time around.

Vengeance wasn’t supposed to be there. He was from a rival club, but he had to warn Chloe. When he overheard his club’s Prez talking about Savage’s death and taking back what belonged to the club, he knew exactly what he had to do. Convincing Chloe that he was on the up and up was going to be a challenge. She didn’t seem to trust anyone except for herself, but he was going to have to change that if he wanted to keep her safe. They were both paying for the sins of their fathers, but he wasn’t about to give Chloe to the Dragons. He’d die first.

Vengeance is book one in the Royal Hellions MC. They are the Next Generation of Royal Bastards MC: Huntsville Chapter (A RBMC Spin-off), by K.L. Ramsey.

AUTHOR BIO


Writing a bio about myself is painful. I’m good with writing fictional characters—sexy alphas and sassy women are my jam. But tell me that I have to come up with a paragraph (or five) about myself, and I freak out. Honestly, I’m not sure why because I’m a delight…

Seriously though, I hate having to sit at my computer to tell you that I’ve always wanted to be a writer. I took a creative writing class in tenth grade (yeah, I can remember back that far), and I was hooked! I even majored in English at college. Well, English and boys—oh, and the beach because I chose a college on the Eastern Shore in my home state of Maryland. I love the beach—even the sand that gets in places that it shouldn’t, I’m there for all of it! Maybe that’s why I’ve written a few beach books in the seven years that I’ve been writing. I mean, who doesn’t love a beach romance? Hot guys, sexy women, and sand, lots of sand. (See how I circled back to that?) I mean, I’m all for a hot beach romance, but seriously, how does one have sex on the beach (not the drink) and not get sand in all the places it shouldn’t be?

But I digress! That’s my go-to move—procrastination, especially when a book is due, or I need to clean my son’s bathroom (Eww!). I’m a put-it-off-until-tomorrow kind of girl, and that bugs the shit out of me because I never was that way when I was younger. I used to yell at my kids for waiting until the very last minute to do a school project. I remember falling asleep one night at about 9ish (because I’m old and tired), and my youngest woke me up to tell me that he needed me to take him to Walmart and buy him popsicle sticks so that he could do his project that was DUE THE NEXT DAY! And now, ironically, I’m that teenage boy, standing over my mother’s bed, telling her that I have a project due in the morning and I haven’t finished it. Well, not technically, but you get the gist.

So, we’ve gone over the fact that I have kids—three of them. They are all adults now, which is something that I’m really proud of. I got through their childhoods without killing any of them, so I’m patting myself on the back right now.

I didn’t raise the little buggers all on my own. I’m married (to Mr. KL) for over thirty years now and he helped out a bit. I mean, I’d say go talk to your father when they asked me to do something for them—you know, like make dinner or take them to soccer practice, but they always came back to me saying that “Dad said no.” And this is the point where I should add Mr. KL to my list of accomplishments because he’s still alive too.

Okay, I got a bit off-topic. Why did I get into writing? The answer is simple—I was bored. You see, I was a stay-at-home mom, with an English degree burning a hole in my pocket, and my youngest kid decided that he no longer wanted to homeschool and instead, go to high school. Mr. KL put his foot down and said that I wasn’t allowed to just sit around, watch reality television, and eat Bonbons. What is a Bonbon anyway? Do they even still make them?

The rest is kind of history. I wrote the Relinquished Series and before I knew it, seven years passed, I wrote over 150 books, my kids grew up (even after I asked them not to), I adopted nine cats and two puppies (much to Mr. KL’s chagrin) and I’m sitting here, patting myself on the back for not killing anyone along the way. What’s my secret to success, you ask?

Coffee

Lots of coffee!

I guess that’s just about all I have to say about myself. If you’d ask me about one of my hot, alpha MC guys, or one of my sexy Mafia bosses, or my delicious Contemporary Romance dudes, or even one of my Paranormal shifters (I write that stuff under BE Kelly), I could talk to you for years. But telling you about myself, not so much. So, that’s all for me, but feel free to send me questions about my favorite subject—my books, and I’d be happy to talk your ear off!

After coffee, of course.

The marriage was never about love. It was about power.

Quinn Delaney becomes a bride only after another woman walks away, and two syndicates need the problem fixed. She is quiet, obedient, and replaceable. Exactly what the marriage requires.

Lorenzo Mariano is the most dangerous man in the room, and he never pretends otherwise. He gives Quinn his name, his protection, and his rules. He keeps his distance. He keeps his silence. He expects her to survive it.

She tries. But being ignored hurts more than being hated.

As rumors spread and a woman from Lorenzo’s past refuses to let Quinn forget her place, the marriage turns into something she cannot endure. When Quinn finally leaves, Lorenzo realizes too late that the one thing he thought he could control is the only thing he cannot afford to lose.

He never promised to love her.
He promised not to care.

Breaking that vow may cost him everything.
Keeping it will cost him her.

Not A Side Chick by Lani Lynn Vale @GiveMeBooksPR



Title: Not A Side Chick
Series: Don't Date Him #3
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Tropes: Grumpy (Her) / Sunshine (Him)
Forced Proximity, Who Hurt You, Small Town
Release Date: March 10, 2026


BLURB

Edith “Eddy” Wheeler was having a bad day.

A no good, very bad day.

It’s understandable, really. I mean, there didn’t seem to be anything worse than walking in on your elderly parents doing things no child should ever see. Add into that their proclivities, and Eddy is disgusted and disturbed.

So of course, after seeing the atrocious things her parents—the pastor and pastor’s wife that are supposed to be holy and a teacher of faith—are into, she makes it her life goal to expose them to their masses. The cult-like following her father has will see him for the man he is—an abuser who gets a sick thrill at seeing his girls suffer.

She will no longer allow the people of Sawtooth, Montana, to think that they’re safe when they’re anything but.

That’s where Weaver Grant comes in.

A sexy lineman who climbs poles for a living, has forearms that can break a woman in mind, body, and soul, and a smile that does things deep inside of her that she refuses to acknowledge just yet.

She has a plan.

A really good one, too.

But that plan dies a thousand deaths when she’s attacked by a bear on a hike that she was using to cleanse her soul. She thought she was supposed to be afraid of men, but that rabid bear showed her a new side of herself.

She spends weeks in the hospital, and a certain hot lineman takes it upon himself to see her healthy again. He never leaves her side. He solves all her problems. And he shows her how a real man treats a woman.

But once she’s healed and her world is once again righted, will he have a reason to stay since she no longer needs saving?

Hades' Revenge by Ella Jade @GiveMeBooksPR

 



Title: Hades' Revenge
Series: Morally Gray Gods #1
Author: Ella Jade
Genre: Dark Romance
Tropes: Age Gap/Father's Enemy/Daddy Vibes
Cover Design: Dark City Designs
Model: Wander Aguiar
Release Date: September 23, 2026


BLURB

When a vicious assassin is banished from the only life he’s ever known, he starts over only to be tempted by the goddaughter he hasn’t seen in almost twenty years.

Hades

Vindictive, malicious, some would even say sadistic…

I couldn’t argue with any of those assessments. We are who we are. I’m a vengeful assassin who will stop at nothing to make those who wronged me pay. And I’m thirsty for revenge.

Eighteen years ago, I took the fall for a man who was like a brother to me. I even vowed to protect his daughter by becoming her godfather— and then he betrayed me.

Two decades later, his daughter, now a stunning woman, strolls into my life, having no idea who I am or what I’m capable of. Capri takes an unhealthy interest in me, the older and dangerous man, and I don’t do anything to discourage her. I welcome her obsession because it suits me.

When her infatuation with me grows stronger, I prove just how vindictive, malicious, and sadistic I really am. Is she the opportunity I need to enact my revenge against her father or is she the reason I finally let this vendetta go?
