"No strings attached" might be Melody’s motto, but I’m about to tie her heart to mine forever.

Melody

As a single mom, my world revolves around my kids and making it to work on time. Romance? Not on the agenda. But then Alex—the irresistible former neighbor I haven’t seen in years—barrels back into my life, and suddenly, I wonder if I can handle one sexy distraction. A fender-bender at school drop-off wasn’t supposed to lead to swapping more than insurance details, but here we are. Now we’ve got a deal: no strings, no commitments. Easy, right? Except nothing about Alex—or the way he makes me feel—is simple.

Alex

The moment I see Melody again, I know she’s the one. Always has been. She might be guarding her heart, but I’ve got my sights set on forever. One night with her in my arms proves she feels the same, even if she won’t admit it. So, what’s a man to do? Pull out all the stops—middle school events included—to show her I’m all in. She thinks we’re just having fun, but I’m here to claim her heart, no strings needed.

Can Alex convince Melody that love is worth the risk, or will her fear of falling keep them apart?

Get ready for a steamy, heartwarming romance packed with swoon-worthy moments and laugh-out-loud chaos in Passion Ridge.

Paris 1980

Who is Luc Kasten? A wealthy French industrialist? A wanted man? A Jew from Avignon who has led a forged life? Or is he all three?

But years of hiding his identity make him hesitate to share his grim secret. A chance encounter with a past enemy spurs him to violence, and Diane, who finds herself falling in love with him, joins Kasten in his struggle to outwit the man who can expose him.

#BookReview: The Last One (Deluxe Limited Edition) @RachelHowzell @RedTowerBooks

Explosive and enthralling romantasy debut from New York Times bestselling author Rachel Howzell Hall...

Thrown into a desolate land of sickness and unnatural beasts, Kai wakes in the woods with no idea who she is or how she got there. All she knows is that if she cannot reach the Sea of Devour, even this hellscape will get worse. But when she sees the village blacksmith fight invaders with unspeakable skill, she decides to accept his offer of help.

Too bad he’s as skilled at annoying her as he is at fighting.

As she searches for answers, Kai only finds more questions, especially regarding the blacksmith who can ignite her body like a flame, then douse it with ice in the next breath.

And no one is what—or who—they appear to be in the kingdom of Vinevridth, including the man whose secrets might be as deadly as the land itself.

Alexandra Vargas hasn’t spoken to JT Talon in seven years. She’s moved on from the heartbreak, and now has the baby—and life—she always wanted.

JT must face his worst nightmare when he learns that not only is the love of his life a fugitive from the police, but also he must now step up and smuggle the child he never wanted to safety.

#BookBlitz: Secretary of Faith by K.C. Boyd @RABTBookTours

Political thriller, Dystopian theocracy, Corporate Oligarchy

Date Published: October 31, 2024

Publisher: ‎Rebel Island Press

 

 

Lies, fear, and the Holy Bible are the country’s undoing in K.C. Boyd’s second, dystopian tale, a story that all too closely resembles an America in which Project 2025 rules. Vividly depicting the present-day racism, greed, and religious hypocrisy, Secretary of Faith serves as a cautionary warning to Project 2025.

After an orchestrated victory, the newly elected President redefines the country by changing its name to the United Christian States of America. Next, he reduces the traditional number of seats in his cabinet to four, and adds a fifth, the Department of Faith, appointing his lifetime mentor, Christian Hillcox, as its first ever Secretary.

The rule of law is no more. Sanctioned by the administration, violent mobs take to the streets. Media is state-run; neighbors inform on neighbors; loved ones vanish, never to return. When a natural disaster strikes the West Coast, an already well-organized Resistance emerges and Secretary Hillcox finds himself in a battle to maintain both the administration’s narrative and his own position through evermore frightening means.

In a showdown between Good and Evil, the question is—will citizens rise to the occasion and save the Republic?
