BACKSTAGE

Fame hit like lightning. Then vanished just as fast.

Danger meant something—it was my name, the code I lived by.
Until I sacrificed everything for love, and she tore it all apart.

Australia was never the plan, but neither was starting over.
Until a pink-haired goddess ignited what I thought was dead.

Recoil deserves another shot, and I deserve redemption.
So, when the spotlight calls—this time, I choose the music.
And maybe her.

She’s forbidden. I’m damaged. But together, we’re perfect.
Some stories start backstage, but ours will ignite center stage.

From USA Today Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes a rockstar romance where fame fades, but redemption demands an encore. Backstage follows a broody musician and the exotic dancer who reignites his fire when the spotlight dims. In a story of second chances, scars, and raw chemistry, one broken heart can still find its rhythm again.
Previously published as Pick.
This is book one of the Recoil Series.

AMPLIFIED

I controlled everything. Then she walked in and flipped the script.

PR was my territory—my safety net, my identity.
Until I lost my wife and daughter, and control became survival.

Moving forward wasn’t the plan, but neither was feeling again.
Until a glasses-wearing firecracker made my heart remember how to beat.

Recoil needs a comeback, and I need to learn to let go.
Getting under her skin is the storm I choose. Even that chaos feels better than silence.
If only for a moment.

She’s relentless. I’m damaged. But together, we’re everything.
Some battles start with surrender, but ours can only be amplified by the wreckage.

From USA Today Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes a rockstar romance that turns grief into rhythm and rivalry into desire. Amplified is an enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine story about finding harmony in chaos, and discovering that sometimes, the most beautiful music is born from the storm because love hits harder than any beat.
Previously published as Plucker.
This is book two of the Recoil Series.

HEADLINER

Success feels hollow when you’re hiding who you really are.

Words were my enemy—the weakness I buried deep.
Until she looked past the rockstar and saw my truth.

An A-list actress wasn’t the plan, but neither was vulnerability.
Until Zaria offered to teach me what I’ve spent my life avoiding.

Recoil is rising, and I’m done pretending I don’t need help.
So when she becomes my light in the darkness, it’s only a matter of time.
After light, darkness always follows.

She’s untouchable. I’m broken. But together, we’re worth fighting for.
Some journeys begin with secrets, but the secrets we keep are headliners.

From USA Today Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes a rockstar romance that proves vulnerability can steal the show. Headliner is a reverse age-gap, he-falls-first story where fame meets honesty, and the truth hits deeper than any lyric. When an A-list actress and a guarded artist collide, love becomes the real headline.
Previously published as Snare.
This is book three of the Recoil Series.

REFRAIN

I had the perfect list. Then my best friend shattered every box.

My checklist was gospel—ten traits, no exceptions, no compromises.
Until Alex became my wingman, and we hunted love online together.

Falling for her wasn’t the plan, but neither was rewriting everything.
Until this aqua-haired gallery girl made me question what perfection means.

Recoil found our rhythm, and I found mine was way off beat.
So when friendship turns to more, this time, I ignore the rules.
Rules are made to be broken, right?

She’s chaos. I’m rigid. But together, we’re the perfect match.
Some love stories start as friendships, but ours will refrain from being ordinary.

From USA Today Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes a rockstar romance that will have your heart skipping beats. Refrain is a friends-to-lovers, slow-burn story of laughter, longing, and the ultimate grovel when friendship turns to fire. Because sometimes, the best duets start with heartbreak and end in harmony.
Previously published as Fret.
This is book four of the Recoil Series.

BLURB

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

When my best friend Taylor gifted me a vacation at a resort owned by his grandparents, the last thing I expected was to bond with a man seventeen years older.
Tate was also vacationing alone.
He’d come to Midnight Key to clear his head and reevaluate his life.
I’d come to get over my high school sweetheart who’d dumped me.
I’d spotted the brawny, tattooed Adonis in the lobby on the first day and thought he had to be someone’s hot dad.
But then we matched on an app that paired single men and women by proximity.
The problem was? At nineteen—almost twenty—I’d lied and said I was twenty-nine.
Tate outed me on our first date, and I fessed up to my real age.
But we continued to run into each other.
And eventually we found our connection was too magnetic to deny.
While we agreed to only use first names and to part ways at the end of the trip, I’d really fallen for Tate.
I never forgot him and knew he was the one who got away.
Remember that guy friend who gifted me the trip?
Well, four years later, Taylor got married.
He’d been estranged from his dad for years, though recently they’d reconnected.
What I didn’t know was that the man I’d had that torrid affair with at the resort would be standing next to Taylor in the receiving line.
My dream man Tate? Was Taylor’s father.

Title: Chasing Lyric
Author: K E Osborn
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Second Chance, Secret Identity/Hidden Past
Opposites Attract, Protective Hero
Release Date: November 24, 2025


BLURB

I don’t do privileged pretty boys.
Especially ones who waltz into my flower shop flashing Hallmark smiles like they own the place.

Chase Malone is everything I should run from—smooth, confident, too damn sure he can play me like his favorite melody.
But then fate, a runaway goat, and tracks of eighties rock on repeat push us into a rhythm neither of us asked for. And somewhere between the laughter and silence, I hear the truth in the spaces he tries to hide.

I thought we were in tune.

Instead, after months of his beautiful symphony, I uncovered his perfect illusion—Chase Malone, the greatest lie I ever let myself fall for.

Now I’m caught in his song, with his desperate attempts to be that perfect Hallmark hero and win me back. But I just don’t know if this love story ends in harmony… or heartbreak.

Chasing Lyric is an angsty, opposites-attract romance where big cities collide with even bigger secrets. It’s got banter, betrayal, a runaway goat that steals the spotlight, and a playlist of eighties rock that turns every page into a heartbeat. Fierce independence meets Hallmark-hero charm in a battle of love, lies, and second chances. And when the final note fades, you’ll believe in happily ever afters all over again.

BLURB

Jules Westwood lives her days surrounded by the sweetest treats. But there’s no cookie, cake, or muffin that comes close to giving her the same joy she feels when she sees him.

The man who’s a bit rough around the edges with his laidback attitude and carefree lifestyle is exactly what she wants. Because despite what her family believes, Jules is a bit of a rebel.

Beau Easton didn’t know who Jules was when he first approached her, merely believing a date with her would be much more satisfying than the cookies he bought from her bakery. And when he learns she’s a Westwood, the equivalent of royalty in Landing, he wonders if he should take a step back.

But Beau gets a taste of Jules, getting something far sweeter than he ever expected. There isn’t a chance he’ll ever give her up.

Unfortunately, their secret relationship is uncovered, and her family is shocked. But the Westwoods are going to have to come to terms with the couple’s new relationship, because whether they like it or not, Beau’s going to be part of their family forever.

I should focus on the prize. I should resist.

Problem is, which one do I pick?

I’m USA TODAY bestselling contemporary romance author Mika Lane, and am all about bringing you sexy, sassy stories with imperfect heroines and the bad-a*s dudes they bring to their knees. And I have a special love for romance with multiple guys because why should we have to settle for just one hunky man?

Please join my Insider Group and be the first to hear about giveaways, sales, pre-orders, ARCs, and most importantly, a free sexy short story: https://mikalane.com/join-mailing-list/

Writing has been a passion of mine since, well, forever (my first book was The Day I Ate the Milkyway, a true fourth-grade masterpiece). These days, steamy romance, both dark and funny, gives purpose to my days and nights as I create worlds and characters who defy the imagination. I live in magical Northern California with my own handsome alpha dude, sometimes known as Mr. Mika Lane, and two devilish cats named Chuck and Murray. These three males also defy my imagination from time to time.

A lover of shiny things, I’ve been known to try new recipes on unsuspecting friends, find hiding places so I can read undisturbed, and spend my last dollar on a plane ticket somewhere.
I’ll always promise you a hot, sexy romp and some version of a modern-day happily ever after.

The Hitchhikers by Chevy Stevens #Mystery @chevystevens #Review The Hitchhikers by Chevy Stevens #Mystery @chevystevens #Review @StMartinsPress

Posted in Book Titles by

 The open road beckons.

A chance for them to reconnect.

Then they make a fatal mistake.

It’s the summer of 1976 and Alice and Tom set out on the remote Canadian highways in their new RV, hoping to heal their broken hearts after a devastating tragedy.

They’ve planned the trip perfectly, taken care of every detail. Then they meet two young hitchhikers down on their luck and offer them a ride. But Simon and Jenny aren’t what they seem. They’ve left a trail of blood, destruction, and madness behind them.

Now Alice and Tom are trapped, prisoners in a deadly game, with nowhere to turn. As the tension builds, the lines blur, and the question becomes, In whose heart does evil truly lie? What secrets are Jenny and Simon hiding? And who will live another day?

A chilling, twist-laden ride to the final page, THE HITCHHIKERS is that rare novel that will break your heart as well as hold you in suspense. The author of the classic thrillers STILL MISSING and THOSE GIRLS has delivered her next breathtaking novel.


I read this book pretty fast — partly because I couldn’t put it down, and partly because I wanted to get through the terrifying parts before my imagination got the best of me. At several points, I actually had to pause and catch my breath, but that’s what made it so captivating. The author does an incredible job building suspense while making the characters feel real, especially Simon. His development was so well-written that I found myself completely invested in what happened to him.

What really impressed me was how quickly the story took off — the “all hell breaks loose” moment hits early, and by about 20% in, you already know you’re in for a wild, chaotic ride that doesn’t slow down. The pacing was perfect, keeping me hooked from the first page all the way to the end.

From page one, it grabbed me and never let go. If you’re looking for something intense, fast-paced, and filled with unforgettable moments, this is a must-read.

Single Dad/Nanny
Release Date: October 7, 2025


BLURB

It wasn’t easy being considered the ugly friend.

She’s known since she was young that life wouldn’t be easy, and that she would have to work hard for everything she got. Life was tough when you had a face that only a mother could love.

For years, Sutton Sway goes through life knowing that she’s never going to have a happily ever after that she’s always dreamed of. So she settles. She marries not for love, but for companionship, choosing a man that she never should’ve looked twice at, all so she could have a family of her own.

That family never happens, and within a year, she’s divorced and right back where she started.

Just when she’s at her all-time low, thinking life couldn’t get much worse, in walks Gunner Penn.

Gunner Penn, her protector. The man that saved her from all her high school bullies and proved to her that there were good men in this world.

He was the man that she’d compared all other men to, and probably always would.

But he’s not the Gunner she remembers. He’s harder, less forgiving, and a whole lot less happy.
He hates everyone and everything and doesn’t care who he offends.

That hate and anger for the world and its occupants doesn’t seem to include her, though.
No, Gunner Penn doesn’t hate her at all.

In fact, he’s loved her since high school. She was just too traumatized by life to see it.
But she sees it now. She feels it. She lives and breathes it.

Gunner Penn lost her once. But he won’t lose her a second time.

Not if there’s breath left in his body.

AUTHOR BIO


Lesley Jones was born and raised in Essex, England but moved to Australia in 2006 with her family. Her first book, Saviour, was published in 2013 and she quickly gained a reputation as a writer of gritty, down to earth characters, involved in angsty and emotional plot lines. Carnage, her third novel, made a number of lists, and won a number of awards for ‘Best Ugly Cry’. Her readers love the fact that she can switch her stories from hot and steamy, to snot bubble ugly crying, followed by laugh out loud moments, in the space of a few sentences. She has declared that the very best part of her job is meeting her readers and has travelled the world a number of times over the past few years to do exactly that. Lesley is a big fan of wearing pyjamas at any time of day, but not a fan of wearing a bra, unless absolutely necessary.

When not writing, she has admitted to being a prolific reader, getting through around four or five books a week. She is a fan of trashy reality TV, listening to music, watching her son play football, spicy food and enjoys a glass of wine… or three.

BLURB

From the author of the bestselling Broken Trilogy and Dark Water Series comes Extraction—the first book in Stonewall, a dangerous suspense series in the World of Mayhem, where brotherhood runs deep, and the fight for what matters most only gets harder when the heart is on the line.

Agent Paul is a soldier of many faces—
a ghost, an undercover operative, a team leader.

But those are just titles.

When a letter lands in his hands, everything changes. The past he buried resurfaces with a single revelation—his son.

Returning to the cartel world he barely escaped is a mission he can’t face alone. His brothers rally behind him, shifting their current operation to follow a trail that leads into the darkest corners of Mexico. What they encounter is far more than intel.

A pawn.
An heir.
A child.

Nicole Winter is a war correspondent with a reputation for chasing the truth. Smart. Relentless. And already three steps ahead. When their paths collide, she’s holding the one document Paul needs—and carrying secrets of her own.

As trust is tested and loyalties blur, the mission spirals. When Paul vanishes mid-operation, Nicole is left with one impossible task—to get the boy out alive.

Even if it costs her everything.
