His obsession for me is deadly, and I’m falling prey to his pleasure.

There’s never been any security in my life. After being dumped on indifferent relatives as a child, it hurt when I realized that no one was ever going to protect me.

But Cullan, my boyfriend’s father, makes me feel safer than any man I’ve ever known. He’s twice my age and totally forbidden, but his protective embraces, deep voice, and inked muscles have awoken things in me that I shouldn’t want.

When darkness swallows me, it’s Cullan who pulls me into his strong arms and leads me back into the light. He gives me protection, and a job as a nanny to his very young child. But I suspect that Cullan is drenched in his own darkness. There’s a killer on the loose in the city, and I think I know the identity of the man behind the red mask.

My instincts tell me to run from Cullan as fast as I can, but my boyfriend’s father has stolen my heart with hands that are soaked in blood.

And though it should be impossible, I think I’m having his baby.

Author’s note: Soft Tissue Damage is a standalone boyfriend’s father MF romance with dark themes, a twenty-year age gap, the hero as the other man, breeding, a jealous and possessive alphahole, and a sweet but strong virgin heroine. This book features appearances of characters from Fear Me, Love Me. The story is dark, dirty and delicious, so please read at your discretion.

EXCERPT

I put my hands on Elena’s waist and slowly back her against a bookcase. “You didn’t tell Leon about our kiss?”

Elena shakes her head. She’s in the circle of my arms with my head bent over her.

“Why didn’t you tell him?”

“We made a mistake because of the intense situation.” But she looks conflicted. Because she doesn’t know what she wants, or because she doesn’t know if she’s allowed to have it?

I bend my head lower toward her lips and whisper, “Was it a mistake?”

Is there a chance she doesn’t want Leon, and she wants me instead? Her mouth is parted, and her eyes are filled with longing. Does she ever look at Leon like this, or is this needy expression just for me? We’re so close that her face is just inches from mine.

“Elena, how attached are you to my son?”

I know what I’d say if she wasn’t dating my son. Be a good girl and tip those pretty lips up for a kiss. But first I have to know how she feels.

“Cullan…” she breathes.

I cup her jaw and slide my thumb over her full lips. Elena closes her eyes and arches her throat as I touch her, and desire pours through me. She shouldn’t say my name like that and respond to my touch like that if she wants me to back off.

I have to know if I have a chance with her. “Tell me. How much do you really want my son?”

Genre: Standalone Thriller
Release Date: June 17, 2025


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.

Title: Bound By Liberty
Series: Stained Souls MC #4
Author: Zara Teleg
Genre: MC Romance
Tropes: Second Chance/Enemies to Lovers
Friends to Lovers/Grumpy meets Sunshine
Release Date: April 9, 2025


BLURB

Liberty

The hopeless romantic who believed in her novels—that’s who I was. Until betrayal shattered me.

I lived by the rules. The good wife. The respected professor. The woman who never crossed the line.

Then my world unraveled in truths I wished were lies.

Now, I don’t know who I am anymore. But I know what I crave. Something deeper. Something darker. Something real.

And he sees it in me. Colt. My first love. My greatest mistake.

He offers me a challenge—one that strips away everything I thought I knew about control. No love. No promises. Just surrender. His game. His rules.

I should walk away. But every time he touches me, I come apart. I tell myself I can play without losing… just one more time.

Colt

Liberty spent her entire life trapped in a self-made cage. Now she’s standing before me, silently begging to be set free.

She thinks she can control this. That she can take what I give and still walk away unscathed. She’s wrong.

Because the moment she lets go of her fears around desire, everything changes. When she embraces all her raw, uninhibited fantasies, she ignites a fire that could consume us both.

This isn’t romance. It’s dominance. It’s control. A game she swears she won’t lose. But she’s playing against me.

And when it’s over… she still won’t understand the power I have… Which means she’ll come back for more.

Will I break her?

Or will she break me?

AUTHOR BIO

Zara Teleg writes love stories that scorch the sheets, crack your heart wide open, and leave you begging for more. Her books are emotional, raw, sexy as hell—and always come with a side of redemption and realness.

A good girl raised Italian Catholic, Zara was nine years old when she fell in love with her first romance novel (Sweet Valley High, of course). By the time Jackie Collins entered her world, she was hooked on the bad boys with just enough heart hidden underneath to ruin your life in the best way.

Her heroines are fierce, quick-witted, and full of sexy surprises. Her heroes? All alpha male energy—commanding, magnetic, and more addictive than your favorite late-night craving. Zara believes in lust that lingers, chemistry that consumes, and heartbreak that hurts just enough to make the healing unforgettable.

Writing became her lifeline during a life-altering year—and now, it’s her passion. Her goal? To take you on a ride: fall in love, get wrecked, cry a little (or a lot), and end up feeling more alive than when you started. If you’ve ever played a love song on repeat, whispered “just one more chapter” at 2 a.m., or fallen for the wrong guy and liked it—Zara gets you.

She lives for sunrise coffee in bed (heavy on the cinnamon and sass), lifting heavy to moody playlists, and laughing until her abs hurt with her loud, loyal Italian crew. Her favorite place? Anywhere near the water—with her journal, her stories, and a damn good cup of coffee.

Victorious: Part I by K E Osborn @GiveMeBooksPR @keosbornauthor

Posted in Book Titles by



Title: Victorious: Part I
Series: LA Defiance MC #5
Author: K E Osborn
Genre: MC Romance
Tropes: Forbidden/Forced Proximity
No Third Act Breakup/Redemption Arc/Revenge
Release Date: May 14, 2025


BLURB

My entire world shattered in an instant.
One phone call was all it took.
Whatever triumph we felt in taking down the Governor was short-lived.
Because the Rojas Cartel was already rising from the ashes.

If we thought we’d won by wiping out Rico Rojas, we were dead wrong. His nephew isn’t just carrying the mantle—he’s rewriting the legacy of the Rojas name by gutting everything we’ve built from the inside out.

Now we’re being torn apart at the seams. Clover and Phoenix are forced to flee to Vegas, Valerie’s fighting for survival in prison, and Alpha is drowning in a tsunami of emotions that threatens to pull him under. We’re surrounded, outnumbered, and running out of options.

My only hope lies in a rogue bird who should have been set free when I liberated the Nest. But she’s working for Rojas. For the enemy. Nighthawk might have blood on her blade, but she could be the key to bringing down the Cartel once and for all. Trusting her means risking everything on the belief that birds of a feather truly do flock together.

With families ripped apart and war erupting on all sides, I have to tap into the darkest parts of my training. Because when everything you love is at stake, it’s not just about survival—it’s about believing that in the end, Defiance will come out victorious.

From USA Today Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes the highly desired Fifth book in the LA Defiance MC Series.

This is a high-stakes, enemies-to-allies, forbidden love romance, featuring birds trained to kill, underground cartel operations, and Defiance fighting for their lives. This is Part I of a two-part conclusion to the series.


TRIGGER WARNING
This book contains scenes of violence, death and emotional distress. If any of these are triggering for you, please go into this fully aware that Victorious Part I and Part II comes at a cost. You can’t have a profound victory, without first, a crushing defeat….

AUTHOR BIO


Lane O’Neil is a former enneagram Type 2 and current enneagram Type 9 (Cancer sign, if you must know) who loves change. You can just ask her husband—who is asked to rearrange their living room furniture every seven business weeks—to verify that statement.

Born, raised, and forever resident of Atlanta-ish, Georgia, she loves egg rolls, blankies, and her four dogs—a feisty mutt and three pitties, or “senior pitizens.”

Lane rekindled her love of reading during the tumultuous, emotional trench warfare time of her life known as the postpartum period after she had her first and only son in 2021.

That renewed spark led her to link up with indie authors as an alpha and beta reader, which eventually led to a crazy idea—one that had never once crossed her mind before.

What if she tried to write something?

Once her mortifying flashback to completing the writing portion of her SATs in 2009 was done and she took a shower to wash off the nervous sweats, she opened a document and began writing.
