The instant connection that sparked in Booker continues in a way that no one expected…   This is the third time my life has fallen apart. What I had pretended to be in the past is now banging on the door of my present. After living so many different lives, each one is a more faded version of myself. Who am I now? Who do I want to be? Does Sam feel my body desperately reaching for his?   I don’t know who I am if I don’t mean anything to Kat. After Kat dropped a bomb on my life, I’m filling my time with parties and fake shit. I need something else to keep me going. Something that won’t make me think about her. I’m somehow still tied to her. Like our connection is too tightly knotted to be unwound. I will always, always crawl back to her. Wherever she is.

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Single Dad/Forbidden Romance
Cover Design: Najla Qamber
Photographer: Lindee Robinson
Models: Hannah & Trevor
Release Date: August 7, 2023


BLURB

Jake’s my best friend and first love. There’s just one problem—he belongs to my sister.

I’ve been crushing on Jake for years, but never had the guts to tell him. One drunken night with my sister and two pink lines later, and he’s lost to me forever.
She doesn’t care that I met Jake Ramirez first. That he and I were best friends first. That I fell in love with him first. Because what my sister wants, my sister gets.
When she video-calls me and Jake accidentally walks by in the buff, something in me snaps.
Transferring to a different college might seem like a copout, but I have to get away from Jake and my sister before I say or do something I’ll regret. In an act of desperation, I ghost my old life.
For the next two years, everything is great—until I come face-to-face with Jake and his son, who my sister abandoned.
Jake’s the new wide receiver at my school, and he wants nothing to do with me, which is fine because I plan to keep my distance. Except we’re thrown together in the most dire circumstances that bring back all those old feelings.
They say everyone deserves a second chance, but my heart can’t handle breaking one more time.

Second Down Darling is an angsty, friends-to-lovers, forbidden romance, featuring a sexy single dad who’s a down-and-out college football player and a nerdy girl determined to overcome her wallflower ways. It has major second chance vibes and lots of steam! Second Down Darling is a dual POV standalone in the USA Today-bestselling series Varsity Dads.

Try Not to Breathe by David Bell @DavidBellNovels @penguinrandom






An ex-cop sets out to find her missing sister and discovers the shocking truth about her family…


A traumatic experience in the line of duty forces thirty-year-old Avery Rogers to abandon both her relationship and her position as a Kentucky State Police officer. She retreats to a college town where she works an unfulfilling job as a security guard, breaking up fights between drunken frat boys. 


But a frantic phone call turns Avery’s life upside down. Her father—a retired cop who never fails to convey his disappointment in Avery—says her half sister is missing and in danger. Avery is sure Anna’s just crashing with friends, but her father strong-arms her into searching for the sister she barely knows.


Anna Rogers is fed up with her family—a half sister who resents her existence and a domineering father who thinks it’s okay for cops to shoot unarmed civilians. She hits the road to attend a protest against police brutality, unaware of the danger that awaits her there. 


Just after catching a glimpse of Avery at the protest, Anna receives a shocking text. Now she’s no longer road-tripping; she’s running, pursued by an older sister she doesn’t trust and a violent stranger who has been stalking her for weeks. 


When Avery discovers Anna’s hiding place near a remote cave system, she risks everything to save her. Little do the sisters know that a secret is catching up to them—a secret at the very heart of their family history.

The Billionaire and the Burglar by Talia Hunter @GiveMeBooksPR @TaliasRomance




Title: The Billionaire and the Burglar
Series: Grumpy Billionaire Romantic Comedy #1
Author: Talia Hunter
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Grumpy Sunshine/Fake Dating/One Bed
Release Date: June 26, 2023


BLURB

I’d do anything for family...even trick my way into working for the grumpiest billionaire alive.

Balthazar Anders expects absolute control and obedience from his employees. Too bad he’s hired the wrong fake girlfriend. I’m actually an undercover thief on a mission to steal from him.

And this rebel doesn’t follow orders.

When my sinfully gorgeous new boss whisks me away to a ten-star luxury resort, I’m supposed to protect him from threats while we act like we’re in love. We share the honeymoon suite’s only bed… and I discover he’s never owned a pair of pajamas. Gulp!

Resisting Balthazar’s growly commands gets harder by the second. Especially when the threat I’m here to protect him from becomes all too real. But if I don’t steal the thing I’ve really come for, my beloved family will be the ones to suffer.

Can I pull off my heist before he steals my heart?

The Billionaire and The Burglar is a swoony, steamy, grumpy/sunshine romance. It can be read as a standalone and has an HEA to leave you smiling.

Title: Resetting Destiny

Author: Liv Macy

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Release Date: June 26th

About Resetting Destiny:

Delaney is content--if not happy--living a half life, until someone tries to assassinate her. When Delaney is rescued by a handsome stranger, Drew seems to be her savior—until she wakes up in his house where he has her daughter and knows far too much about her. The strange sensations she experiences when he’s near might be a warning…maybe he’s the real danger. Fear and anger mix with passion and soon Delaney’s not sure what’s real. Drew doesn’t know how to tell Delaney that she’s his soulmate. He can’t just dump their past on her and expect her to believe him. Not when she doesn’t remember anything about him or the things she’s capable of—but they’re running out of time. Hunters are after her and damned if he’s going to sit idly by and let them capture her. Delaney and Drew work together to help her regain her memories and her ability to control destiny. When sparks fly between them love might conquer all--or it might cause her to end the world.

Pre-Order Your Copy!

Catching Up with the Series:

Becoming Justice

Exclusive Excerpt:

His jaw clenches. “I’m trying to tell you everything. With the powers you have, you have the ability to make things happen. To shape the future. That’s why you were considered a liability to the Guardianship. That’s why when you break one of the rules, they kill you. And they do it swiftly and without notice. You could envision world wars, destruction, famines, plagues. And they would happen. You can start it, you can stop it, you can control it. Of course, there’s always the chance it changes, but that’s usually not the case.” “I absolutely take umbrage at being considered a liability. This is absurd,” I scoff. “I’ve envisioned things before, and it’s not happened.” I willed Tyson to not be dead. Pregnant, worried about the future and losing the love of my life to an early death, single parenthood staring me down. I damn well willed it with everything I had, and it hadn’t mattered. My chest tightens and my heart, an aggravated pump, pushes the blood thickly through my veins. It’s pounding in my ears, pulsating in my shoulder. None of this can be true.

  

About the Author:

Enter the world of Liv Macy, a woman who wears many hats: mother, chef, taxi driver, maid, referee, teacher, shopper, wife, and advice giver. But beneath her ordinary exterior lies a secret—a passion for writing that transports her to a world of mystery and magic.   With Becoming Justice, the first installment in her thrilling new series, The Infinites Universe, Liv introduces us to a cast of characters that refused to stay confined to the depths of her mind. Each moment of free time is spent conjuring up tales of emotional trauma and soulmates, of a hidden magic, that will keep you on the edge of your seat.   But Liv’s, love affair with stories didn't start with her first book. It's been a lifetime obsession, fueled by her insatiable appetite for reading and writing. When she's not juggling her various roles, she's whipping up delicious meals in the kitchen or enjoying the company of her family and friends. And if there's any time left after that, Liv can be found curled up with a steaming cup of coffee and a cozy blanket, lost in thought as she contemplates the mysteries of life.

With Every Breath by H. D'Agostino @GiveMeBooksPR




Title: With Every Breath
Duet: Brave Enough #1
Author: H. D’Agostino
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Sports Romance
Release Date: June 12, 2023


BLURB

When we’re children, we never believe bad stuff can happen to us. I’m here to say that it does, that it did to me, but I came out on top. I won when everyone said I couldn’t.

I’ve learned over the years to live my life one day at a time. You never know what tomorrow will bring, how it can change you, or if it might be your last.

Take the chances you’ve been afraid to take.

Do the things you’ve always wanted to do.

And live life with no regrets.

I found love when I thought I wouldn’t. I’ve found faith when I thought I couldn’t, and now I’m fighting a battle I’m not sure I can win.
