Harper Rose is a billionaire heiress and the PR Queen of New York. The only problem is she is unlucky in love. After another failed relationship, she decides to give up on dating and heads to The Paradise Club Resort to heal.

Unexpectedly, she runs into Felix St. Pierre, the much younger, tattooed, ice hockey bad boy, and they hit it off instantly.

Don’t they say to get over someone, you have to get under someone else?

Felix St. Pierre is an ice hockey superstar whose personal life has imploded after his girlfriend left him for his teammate. Broken-hearted, he fills the void with puck bunnies and partying, which lands him front and center in the news and in a heap of trouble. To avoid the spotlight and nurse his broken heart, he escapes to The Paradise Club Resort. What he wasn’t expecting was to run into a gorgeous, captivating Harper Rose.

What happens in Paradise is supposed to stay in Paradise.

When the tabloids find out about their vacation and report to the world that they are dating, the internet explodes with the news as does her ex, and that’s when his threats start coming. Felix doesn’t want what happened in Paradise to end and suggests they should fake-date for the summer to make her ex back off. Harper isn’t keen on the idea until her ex gives her a reason to accept his help.

The only problem is when the summer is over, and the lines between fake and real have started to blur, will they take a shot on goal, or will they end up in the end zone?

#Recommendation with @CarissaNasyra Author of The Serpent and the Wings of Night

Human or vampire, the rules of survival are the same: never trust, never yield, and always – always – guard your heart.

The adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, Oraya carved her place in a world designed to kill her. Her only chance to become something more than prey is entering the Kejari: a legendary tournament held by the goddess of death herself.

But winning won’t be easy amongst the most vicious warriors from all three vampire houses. To survive, Oraya is forced to make an alliance with a mysterious rival.

Everything about Raihn is dangerous. He is a ruthless vampire, an efficient killer, an enemy to her father’s crown… and her greatest competition. Yet, what terrifies Oraya most of all is that she finds herself oddly drawn to him.

But there’s no room for compassion in the Kejari. War for the House of Night brews, shattering everything that Oraya thought she knew about her home. And Raihn may understand her more than anyone – but their blossoming attraction could be her downfall, in a kingdom where nothing is more deadly than love.

The Serpent and the Wings of Night is the first book in a new series of heart-wrenching romance, dark magic, and bloodthirsty intrigue, perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash and A Court of Thorns and Roses.

Proto wakes up in the misty halls of the palace of Somnus, the Lord of Dreams. Why is he there? Who knows?

By guiding dreams to the right conclusions, Somnus and his crew of dream visitors help keep the world from going off the rails. During his adventures as a dream visitor, Proto fails, makes a fool of himself, and—against all odds—makes friends too. And maybe more than friends . . . ? It’s hard to tell. There’s something off in how people here are looking at him. There’s something he’s not understanding. And there are other things none of them understand—for instance, the ominous reddening of the skies and streaking lights that keep appearing in the dreams they visit. What’s coming for them? What’s coming for the world?

#ReleaseBlitz for What About Now? by Kaylee Ryan @GiveMeBooksPR

Title: What About Now?

Series: Everlasting Ink #4

Author: Kaylee Ryan

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Small Town/Age Gap/Tattoo Artist

Found Family/Drunken Vegas Wedding

Release Date: February 11, 2025

BLURB

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding five best friends who co-own a tattoo studio. "What About Now?" is an age gap, found family, drunken Vegas wedding, small town romance.

Brogan

I didn’t plan on hooking up with my new brother-in-law’s best friend… or marrying him.

Life hasn’t been easy, and it’s left me a little bruised, and a lot cautious. So, when I wake up in Vegas married to Maddox, I’m convinced it’s a mistake. A drunken accident that we should undo before anyone finds out.

But he doesn’t see it that way. He asks for six months. Six months to show me we could be something real. And I don’t know why I say yes, except maybe a part of me wants to believe him.

I’m not sure I deserve someone like him. But with every look, every touch, and every little gesture, Maddox is breaking down my walls.

That’s why the next time he asks "what about now?" I know I'm going to say yes.

Maddox

I always thought Brogan was off-limits. Our paths didn’t just cross, they tangled.

If things didn’t work out between us, it would hurt a lot of people. So I stayed in my lane, convincing myself it was for the best.

Until Vegas.

One too many drinks, a blurred wedding chapel, and a couple of shiny rings later, Brogan wakes up next to me… as my wife.

She’s ready to call it a mistake and move on, but I see it for what it is: fate handing me the chance I’ve been too scared to take.

So I make her a deal. Six months. I’ll prove we belong together, and if she still doesn’t believe it, we’ll walk away. No hard feelings.

But I’m not going down without a fight. Flowers, her favorite coffee—I’ll give her everything she never knew she wanted, including me.

And one of these times when I ask if she believes it yet that were meant to be, I just might get the answer I’m hoping for.

Because I’ve waited long enough to make her mine, and this time, I’m not letting her go.
