BLURB

Piers “Webber” Webb knew two things for certain.

One, he needed to stay the hell away from Silver Donahue. Two, he didn’t think there was a chance in hell that he could.

He tries, though.

For a solid year, he does his best to be dismissive to the point where he appears cold and threatening.

But when Silver finds herself in danger, he forgets why he was giving her the cold shoulder to begin with.

The thing is, Silver didn’t forget.

***

Silver Donahue was so deeply in love with Piers Webb it was disheartening. Especially knowing he didn’t like her back.
She’s determined to live her life, but with Webber always on the edge of her existence, she knows it’s futile.

But she tries.

The thing is, there’s no way you can ignore Piers Webb when he’s aiming that dark and deadly gaze your way.

She’s determined to keep him at a distance, until one night she has to pick him up on the side of a deserted road in the middle of nowhere. That one moment of need on his end is all she needs to realize a few things.

He’s as scary as he wants her to believe, and killing a man and disposing of a body is a daily practice for him.

She should run so far in the opposite direction, because he has so many red flags, even a toddler wouldn’t be able to ignore them.

But she’s always proven she makes bad decisions.

But Piers Webb is going to be the best bad decision she’s ever made.

Trilogy: Stonewall #1
Author: J.L. Drake
Genre: Military Romantic Suspense
Tropes: Secret Child/Found Family/Cartel World
Alpha Male/Enemies to Lovers/Forced Proximity
Release Date: June 26, 2025


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.

Corie

Knox Beckett is heartbreak in a helmet. He’s also my brother’s best friend, and so far out of my league, he’s untouchable.

But a few stolen glances turn into a welcome home that blindsides us both.

The rules are clear. We just chose not to follow them.

Now we’re sneaking around like we’re running a trick play, hooking up behind closed doors, and pretending our actions don’t have the power to blow up our lives.

Knox is under my skin and tackling his way into my heart. Ready or not, it’s time we make the play.


Knox

She’s the last girl I’m allowed to want—my best friend’s little sister. She’s all grown up and looking at me in invitation.

The second Corie crashes into me, with her tanned, toned skin, in a barely there bikini, I know I’m in trouble.

I shouldn’t look. And I sure as hell shouldn’t touch. My hands are already on her waist, one second longer, and I’ll do something we both might regret.

What I do is even worse. I help her land a job working for the team. My team.

Now I can’t get her out of my mind, or my way. And keeping my hands to myself is a penalty waiting to happen. Because Corie isn’t just off-limits—she’s one line I swore I’d never cross, yet I’m sprinting toward it.

I’d risk the season—my entire career—for her just to make the play.

Protecting Her Becomes His Mission; Resisting Her Becomes Impossible.

Secrets and lies collide in this upcoming explosive Romantic Thriller from New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson.

Rowena Smith may be a top-shelf librarian, but solid investigative skills won’t keep her safe after her newest research project—tracking down her biological father—leads her to a brutally murdered body. The scene offers up one hope for assistance: the card of FBI Supervisory Special Agent Kurt Montana. Alone and terrified in a foreign country, Rowena places the call.

About to board a flight home after a failed mission, Kurt can’t ignore the plea in Rowena’s voice. She could be the killer or she could be an innocent bystander—either way, he senses she holds information vital to his case. When Kurt’s flight takes off without him—only to crash into the African savanna killing everyone onboard—he knows it’s no coincidence. Rowena saved his life.

BLURB

As a college English professor, Elizabeth looks forward to the start of each new semester teaching her creative writing seminar. At least until she reads chapter one of The Reckoning, a tale about a high school senior who has an affair with her teacher. To anyone else it would be the beginning of a great page-turner, but to Elizabeth it is the beginning of the end.

She knows this story. It’s all familiar because she lived it. The girl in the story was her best friend Jocelyn, and Elizabeth knows exactly how the story will end—with the teacher dead. Because she was the one who killed him.

Someone knows what Elizabeth did twenty years ago and her secret is about to be exposed, but who is the mystery student submitting the chapters? In an effort to find out, Elizabeth returns to her Louisiana hometown where it soon becomes clear that no matter how many years have gone by, she can’t escape her past.

Final Down by Ginger Scott @TheGingerScott @wordsmithpublic

Posted in Book Titles by

 






Years ago, I accepted that football would always be a part of my life. I just didn’t know how.


When I met Wyatt Stone, I figured the game would weave its way into my young heart and become a part of my first real love. When I married him, I assumed my life would follow the same path as my mother’s—the wife of an NFL quarterback, with all the highs and lows that come along with it.


But when Wyatt didn’t get picked in the draft, everything changed. And Wyatt’s light, however hard he fought to keep it alive, dimmed. Football has a funny way of operating in this family, though. It lingers, like the haze that hovers over my family’s ranch fields in the Arizona desert horizon.


For my dad, the game stuck around through coaching, and Wyatt thought maybe that was enough for him too. But football had other plans. A second chance at glory. A renewed spark in his soul, calling him to give the dream one more shot. And as much as I want to keep him close, to start our family and walk a new path—one that football doesn’t get to dictate—I know that when it comes to this game, I’ve never really called the shots. I’ve merely gone along for the ride. I just hope that this time it doesn’t break my heart completely.

Series: Charming Irish #3
Author: Kaylene Winter
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Reverse Age Gap/Enemies to Lovers
Forced Proximity/Plus Size Heroine/Secret Relationship
Release Date: June 9, 2025


BLURB

Wistful Whispers is an irresistible battle of the wills where surrendering to forbidden temptation could cost them everything.

I never promised forever.
A good time? Absolutely.
Heartbreak? Only if they got too attached.

My reputation as a quiet playboy precedes me—women talk, and my ‘talents’ follow me wherever I go. But I’ve always been upfront. No commitments. No expectations. No complications.

Marcella Delgado is nothing but complications. Brilliant. Fierce. Eight years older. And the attorney trying to take down my boss in a malpractice case. She should hate me on sight—hell, she does. But that doesn’t stop the heat between us from igniting the moment we meet.

She’s heard the stories about me firsthand, right there in the depositions. She knows exactly what I’m good at, and even though she fights it, I can see the temptation in her eyes.

One night. One line crossed.
Now my future’s unraveling—and she might be the only thing I don’t want to let go.

For the first time, I want it all.

And I’ll fight like hell to be the man she can’t leave behind.

WE DON’T TALK ABOUT CAROL by Kristen L. Berry #review @kristenlberry @randomhouse

Posted in Book Titles by

 







A dedicated journalist unearths a generations-old family secret—and a connection to a string of missing girls that hits way too close to home—in this gripping debut novel.

In the wake of her grandmother’s passing, Sydney Singleton finds a hidden photograph of a little girl who looks more like Sydney than her own sister or mother. She soon discovers the mystery girl in the photograph is her aunt, Carol, who was one of six North Carolina Black girls to go missing in the 1960s. For the last several decades, not a soul has talked about Carol or what really happened to her. But now, with her grandmother gone and Sydney looking to start a family of her own, she is determined to unravel the truth behind her long-lost aunt’s disappearance, and the sinister silence that surrounds her.

Unfortunately, this is familiar territory for Sydney: Years earlier, while she worked the crime beat as a journalist, her obsession with the case of another missing girl led to a psychotic break. And now, in the suffocating grip of fertility treatments and a marriage that’s beginning to crumble, Sydney’s relentless pursuit for answers might just lead her down the same path of self-destruction. As she delves deeper into Carol’s fate, her own troubled past reemerges, clawing its way to the surface with a vengeance. The web of secrets and lies entangling her family leaves Sydney questioning everything—her fixation on the missing girls, her future as a mom, and her trust in those she knows and loves.

Delving into family, community, secrets, and motherhood, We Don’t Talk About Carol is a gripping and deeply emotional story about overcoming the rot at the roots of our family trees—and what we’ll do for those we love.






Excellent Read from Page One

This book hooked me from the start. Though it’s a fictional story, it felt deeply personal—likely because I’ve been a longtime listener of the Black Girl Gone podcast, which made me especially excited for this read.

The story doesn’t waste time with a slow build—it dives in with purpose. We follow the intelligent and determined Sydney as she searches for girls who went missing 60 years ago. Her main focus? Aunt Carol, who vanished at just 16. Was she murdered like the six other girls believed to be? Through Carol’s story, we uncover a tale of young love, rebellion, and a mysterious man named Michael.

Beyond the mystery, the book explores rich emotional territory. There’s Sydney’s complex relationship with her sister Sasha—strained by an age gap—and their distant, emotionally unavailable mother, which adds even more depth to the narrative.

Sydney’s fertility struggles were especially moving. Her emotional and physical journey through treatments added a layer of vulnerability that made me root for her even more.

I genuinely want more from this author—this was an incredible debut. Bravo! Big thanks to NetGalley and the author for the ARC.

Three miles from home, he missed her party and a pivotal moment in her life.

I offer her a ride, and since it’s her only option of arriving home safely, she accepts.
But we’re targeted and followed, and nearly killed.
I manage to get her home safely for the holidays, only to kidnap and bring her to a safe house.

Ginny is mine.
I’ve claimed her and fallen hard for the sexy, curvy redhead.
I won’t risk her safety. She’s got to stay in hiding until I can deal with the threat.
But she’s got secrets, and so do I.
Ginny doesn’t know that I was the one who found her father, Hesh, in his last moments.
I made a promise to protect her, to get vengeance for the men who stole Ginny’s father from her.
And if I have to ride into hell to do it, I will.

One wild night, one ranch reunion—this protective ex-soldier won’t let the sheriff’s stubborn daughter escape his sights again.

Beckett

She was supposed to be a one-night distraction. A taste of something sweet before I moved on.

But George Hayes left her mark—on my skin, in my head, and deep in my bones. And when I show up for a job at Rider Ridge, I find out she’s not just the girl who got away—she’s my new coworker. The sheriff’s daughter. And the woman I haven’t been able to stop thinking about since she slipped out of my bed before sunrise.

She’s stubborn. Smart-mouthed. Impossible.

And mine.

I may be ex-military, but that doesn’t make me a good man. I’ve done things—things I don’t regret, but things that don’t belong in the light. George? She has too much light in her to be tangled up with someone like me.

But that doesn’t mean I’ll let her go.

She thinks she can keep me at arm’s length, that I’ll let her pretend that night didn’t change everything. But I see the way she looks at me when she thinks I’m not watching. And I’m done pretending.

She can fight this all she wants. But I know one thing for damn sure—she’s not running from me again.
