BLURB

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

ABBY:
I’m falling for the father of the baby I’m carrying.
The problem is: it’s not my baby.
And the broody widower is not looking for a long-term partner.
As a surrogate, the deal was that I’d only be in England long enough to give birth.
At first, the man seemed as pretentious as his name: Sigmund Benedictus.
He and I butted heads.
Sig challenged my intentions, accused me of just wanting to do this for the money.
Gradually, he learned to trust me.
He even became protective.
Over time, our heated animosity turned into fiery chemistry.
I was falling in love with him.
But my time here had a limit.
I needed to protect my heart from the devastatingly gorgeous older man who’d end up breaking it.
SIG:
When my in-laws told me they wanted to use my dead wife’s eggs to conceive a grandchild, I wasn’t immediately on board.
They swore that on her deathbed Britney told them it was what she wanted—but only if I fathered the baby. Her parents insisted they would be the ones to raise it.
Against my better judgment, I agreed.
I vowed to keep my heart out of it, though.
I’d continue to pretend it wasn’t happening and live the empty, single life I’d become accustomed to the past five years since Britney died.
And despite the fact that a certain younger American named Abby Knickerbocker had awakened things inside me that I thought were long dead…
I most certainly wouldn’t fall in love with the surrogate.

Ryder

Two years of silence and no goodbye—she slipped away and through my fingers, leaving me with nothing but questions… and a heavy heart from missing her.

I know what we had was real, that our love was once in a lifetime.

Now she’s back from her Parisian fashion internship, and I'm ready for answers, desperate to understand why she couldn't just stay.

Jordyn

When I walked away, it was to protect him. Yet, all he knows, all he cares about, is that I left. Coming home is a bittersweet journey, each step heavier than the last.

While I’m no longer half a world away, the obstacles in front of us make it feel like we’ve never been farther apart.

I want to give him the answers he so desperately craves, and this time, I’ll get to say goodbye. However, what I didn’t plan on was Ryder’s fight. He’s not going to let me go so easily this time.

Twilight of Embers by Tessa Hale



Twilight of Embers, the first book in Tessa Hale’s brand-new Dragons of Ember Hollow Series is LIVE and FREE with Kindle Unlimited!




Get ready for fated mates, powerful dragons, and an evil who will do anything to claim her as their own…

Amazon & Kindle Unlimited: https://geni.us/TwlghtofEmbrsAmzn

Audio: https://geni.us/TwlghtofEmbrsAudio


I’d always wondered what it would be like to have a family. I just never expected to find it with five mysterious strangers who have more secrets than I could ever imagine.

Getting a scholarship to Evergreen University and majoring in premed means I need to keep my head down and focus on my studies. But campus is full of distractions…

The football god with his golden retriever charm. The tortured one with his vicious tongue. The broken boy with his determined protectiveness. The merciless billionaire with a penchant for spoiling me. And the genius professor with his brilliant mind.

They make me feel like I belong for the first time since my parents were murdered. And when they touch me, my whole world sparks to flame.

But they have enemies. Those who would give anything to harm what they hold dear. And while they’ll do whatever it takes to keep me safe, sometimes falling in love will put you right in the line of fire…

**Book one in a new paranormal, why choose, reverse harem romance trilogy.**



First off…. I DON’T WANNA WAIT TILL APRIL… Okay, now that is off my chest, what Tessa Hale delivers with Twilight of Embers is just OH MY STARS! What Hayden has been through is emotional enough. Add how things play when she first meets Knox who makes you wanna swoon. Then Easton with his silver tongue. Cáel who has been through so much but loves so fierceless. Then Maddox, who is so protective but has to keep the distance. Finally we have Cillian, that smooth talker who will spoil what is his. But the threats are impending. Especially when truths are exposed. Dragons, fated mates and spice OH MY! I could literally go on and on about this book because I was so wrapped up in it. While some may see it as over the top protectiveness, I see it as protecting what is theirs and what they have been searching for. Their connection is SO intense. Devouring this in one sitting is an understatement. Twilight of Embers swallowed me whole and left me begging for more!

What Happened by the Lake by Vi Keeland

 




Title: What Happens at the Lake
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Trope: Grumpy-Sunshine
Release Date: January 15, 2024


BLURB

When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title America’s Friendliest Town for seventeen years running, and friendly was just what I needed right now.

Unfortunately, friendly wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived.

Instead, I got Fox Cassidy. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello.

Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still…he didn’t have to be so grumpy.

As time went on though, I started to notice things about Fox other than his glares. Like how he watched me when he thought I wasn’t looking, or how fire ignited in his eyes whenever we bickered. Though I was in Laurel Lake to escape my problems, not create new ones. And getting involved with a man like Fox screamed trouble, even if he was gorgeous and unlike any man I’d ever met.

But alas, problem seemed to be my middle name this year. So why not have some fun while I was here for the summer? It seemed like a good plan. At least until it was time to go home…

They say what happens at the lake, stays at the lake. But it’s not so easy to walk away when what stays behind…is your heart.







PURCHASE LINKS

This is one of those stories that will inspire you but also break you a little. Everything that Fox has been through. Then the collision course he was set on with Josie. The banter between them is epic. How their push and pull will affect your soul. Seeing both these characters grow as people. Just everything about it made my heart happy. There were moments I wanted to yell at both of them for being silly. But together, oh they were magic. This is one intensely emotional read but also so heartwarming. Seeing both of them face their demons was everything. More so when they faced them together whether they knew that was happening or not.

A Vicious Proposal by Kristy Marie

 




Title: A Vicious Proposal
Series: The Fallen Kings of Eden #1
Author: Kristy Marie
Genres: Contemporary Romantic Suspense
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Forced Marriage
Release Date: January 17, 2024


BLURB

I knew him only as Van Gogh.
A tortured artist who owned the night as he moved through the shadows, cloaked in hate and madness.
He was a vicious vigilante—a serial arsonist who thrived on the fear he triggered with a single match between his tattooed knuckles.
We were told to lock our doors and stay inside.
I wanted to. I really did.
But then I saw his eyes, burning like embers as he watched me through the smoke.
And like the flames at his feet, I delighted in his attention.
I became his muse.
His passion.
His obsession.
His perfectly flawed flower.
But that was years ago.
Before my seaside town became his canvas…
Before the ashes of my enemies became his paint…
Before he hated me… and made me his wife.

This story will make you question so much! The whole concept behind it was amazing. Van and Reese just play so well off of each other that you have to laugh at how these two came into each other’s worlds and how their banter is so freaking intense! There are twists and turns that are threaded throughout this story. From the way these two are connected to each other, to what happened to Van to so much more. Reese is a spitfire that will have you wanting to be her bestie with Van being possessive and just that mmm mmm good kinda anti-hero! Looking forward to more within this world!
