He’s a scam artist.

And my fake fiancΓ©.

On a flight to a funeral, an incredibly handsome yet irritatingly smug Real Estate tycoon sat next to me–changing my life forever.

Maverick Stern.

As an investigative journalist aspiring to the anchor desk, I landed a hot tip about a young billionaire committing fraud.

The accused scammer? Maverick.

The kicker? At the same time, my wealthy grandmother threatens my father’s inheritance if I don’t get married. Now.

I shut off my ability to love years ago after my college sweetheart died in an accident. I don’t want to be married. It’s been years since a man’s made butterflies take flight in my stomach but Maverick has my full attention.

Going undercover, I need to clear his name or expose my fake fiancè to the world.

With the mounting anxiety causing turbulence in my brain, my best friend forces me to ask a higher power for a helpful sign about Maverick: feathers.

Is this what happens when you catch flights and feelings?

***Encounters In Flight is book 3, the final installment, in The Signs Series - a series of interconnected standalones. You can start from Emma’s journey or read Juliette's in book 1, Fortunate Encounters. You'll find plenty of steam, sass, and a touch of manifestation.

I should have used my college degree to become a lawyer, politician, or heck, even a Time Lord—hey, it worked for Dr. Who. But no, I had to own a bridal boutique. Turns out that’s a terrible idea for someone with my lousy dating history.

Every day, I’m surrounded by the trappings of the perfect wedding, and I’m starting to resent all the smug almost-marrieds. I shouldn’t want to throat punch the brides, right?

Then Jamie Riordan moves to Elk Lake with his twelve-year-old daughter. He’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a guy—tall, gorgeous, successful, and clearly devoted to his kid.

Too bad his grumpy highness wants nothing to do with me.

I may not be his dream girl, but does he have to be so insulting about letting me know?

(Beauty From Ashes)
Publication date: September 5th 2023
Genres: Dystopian, Science Fiction, Young Adult

Beulah is a city divided by privilege and poverty, and seventeen-year-old Ellio lives in the poorest district of all—the Downs. Assigned there at birth, even his extraordinary gift with machines isn’t enough to escape Beulah’s rigid class structure.

But the boundaries of his world start to crumble the night he encounters a mysterious young woman.

Kaya is stubborn, impulsive, and volatile. His opposite in every way. Worse, she’s from Aurea, the city’s golden district, and beneath her hardened exterior lies a web of secrets tangled around Retiarius, the city’s elite fighting guild. How did she wind up in the Downs that night? And what’s her connection to Retiarius?

As Ellio and Kaya’s relationship deepens, they defy the boundaries of Beulah’s class system, risking everything to continue meeting in secret. When their forbidden love is put to the test, Ellio will have to decide if Kaya is just another impossible dream, or if some things are worth fighting for—even in the Downs.

If you enjoy dystopian romances like The Lunar Chronicles, Red Queen, and Divergent, check out this story of courage, love, fierce heroines, and underdogs.

#BookReview: She Who Rides the Storm (The Gods-Touched Duology #1) by Caitlin Sangster






Synopsis: In this atmospheric YA fantasy that is Wicked Saints meets There Will Come a Darkness, four teens are drawn into a high-stakes heist in the perilous tomb of an ancient shapeshifter king.

Long ago, shapeshifting monsters ruled the Commonwealth using blasphemous magic that fed on the souls of their subjects. Now, hundreds of years later, a new tomb has been uncovered, and despite the legends that disturbing a shapeshifter’s final resting place will wake them once again, the Warlord is determined to dig it up.

But it isn’t just the Warlord who means to brave the traps and pitfalls guarding the crypt.

A healer obsessed with tracking down the man who murdered her twin brother.

A runaway member of the Warlord’s Devoted order, haunted by his sister’s ghost.

A snotty archaeologist bent on finding the cure to his magical wasting disease.

A girl desperate to escape the cloistered life she didn’t choose.

All four are out to steal the same cursed sword rumored to be at the very bottom of the tomb. But of course, some treasures should never see the light of day, and some secrets are best left buried…


#BookReview: Rising Like a Storm (The Wrath of Ambar, #2) by Tanaz Bhathena @fsgbooks






Synopsis: In the concluding installment to the Wrath of Ambar duology from masterful author Tanaz Bhathena, Gul and Cavas must unite their magical forces―and hold onto their growing romance―to save their kingdom from tyranny. 

With King Lohar dead and a usurper queen in power, Gul and Cavas face a new tyrannical government that is bent on killing them both. Their roles in King Lohar's death have not gone unnoticed, and the new queen is out for blood. What she doesn't know is that Gul and Cavas have a connection that runs deeper than romance, and together, they just might have the strength and magic to end her for good.

Then a grave mistake ends with Cavas taken prisoner by the government. Gul must train an army of warriors alone. With alliances shifting and the thirst for vengeance growing, the fate of Ambar seems ever more uncertain. It will take every ounce of strength, love, and sacrifice for Gul and Cavas to reach their final goal―and build a more just world than they've ever known.

Until the night his reckless charm ignites a fire he can’t extinguish.

Secrets that could shatter their fragile alliance and set off another firestorm that could blast through their club family and their small town of Meager, South Dakota, changing them all forever.

Title: Of Lost Things
Author: Ariana Rose
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Reverse Age Gap/Single Mom
Release Date: September 27, 2023


BLURB

It was a fairytale, my fairytale.
I met and married my prince. We created something so special, or at least I thought it was.
All the love I showered on him, sacrifices I made for his career, the time alone raising our daughter wasn't enough to keep him.
He traded in our love story for a cheerleader and divorce papers.

I find myself in a new house, a single mother, with no idea what comes next.
I'm trying so hard to shield our daughter from anything that could hurt her, which includes the thoughts and schemes of a thirteen year old mind.

When trouble finds her, we're met with the kindness of a disarmingly attractive, attentive and much younger police officer, Tyler Mason. Now I'm left wondering who's in trouble, Mia.... or me?
