I’ve been in love with my boss for five years.

And he’s never once looked at me.

Zayn Grayson is brilliant, powerful, and way out of my league—not to mention my brother’s best friend. But after half a decade of being invisible to the man I crave, I quit. Except the second I hand in my notice, Zayn finally sees me.

He demands to know why I’m leaving. Won’t let it go until I tell him the truth. So I do. I ask him for a goodbye kiss.

I don’t expect him to actually say yes. I definitely don’t expect a storm to trap us in a hotel suite. But Zayn doesn’t see a blackout. He sees an opportunity.

One night to make my fantasies come true.

When morning comes, I have a choice to make—walk away like I planned… or let my grumpy, possessive boss convince me to stay forever.

Dear Grumpy Boss is a steamy, instalove, age-gap, office romance featuring a curvy heroine, a forced proximity blackout, and a billionaire who refuses to let her go.

Returning to my small hometown was never part of the plan—but life has a way of forcing your hand.

I’m Gavin Wells—wealthy, divorced, and carrying enough baggage to fill this tiny town. My father’s funeral should’ve been a quick in-and-out, but nothing about coming home is ever that simple. Especially when it means facing her.

Lena Marshall—my brother’s widow, the girl I once loved, and the one I’ve never really let go. Seeing her again stirs up feelings we both thought we’d buried. But with the past comes secrets, and my family’s skeletons are clawing their way out, threatening to shatter Lena’s trust—and her heart—all over again.

Walking away would be easier. Safer. But I’ve spent too long running from my demons. Now, I have to prove I’m not the man who runs, but the one who fights—for her, for us, and for the second chance we both deserve.

Aly knows better than to trust a copper. But he might be her only chance at freedom.

Enforcer to the city’s most vicious crime laird, Aly expects a long prison sentence when she’s arrested for murder.

But instead, the inspector offers her immunity in exchange for her help finding the killer. It’s a chance to escape her boss’s cruelty and start fresh—as long as the detective never learns she’s more than a petty thief.

Haunted by a childhood in Faerie, Calum can’t ignore reports of missing people. Even when it risks his career.

After fleeing his fey captor, Calum rebuilt his life in the mortal world, finding purpose in his work as a detective inspector. But when he disobeys orders to overlook a spate of disappearances from the slums, that job is endangered.

Solving the murder of a local politician is his last chance, and he’ll use all the resources at his disposal—even trusting a criminal he suspects knows more than she admits.

As they chase the bloody connections linking the victim to the crime lairds and even the fey, Calum’s feelings for Aly grow, forcing him to question the career he’s fighting to save. And soon, Aly finds herself gambling not just her freedom, but her heart.

Wreathed in Tide & Torment is the first book in The Eskalian Fey, a new gaslamp fantasy trilogy set in a world inspired by Scottish history and folklore and brimming with magic, intrigue, and romance.

The Transformation of a Ship & a Soul

Memoir

Date Published: February 27th, 2025

Publisher: Acorn Publishing

 

 

Deborah Rudell’s world unravels when the leaders of her spiritual commune are exposed, arrested, and imprisoned for bioterrorism and attempted murder. Crushed and adrift, she moves her family off the commune to create a sense of normalcy. But when her husband seeks an opportunity to dismantle and rebuild a derelict fifty-foot schooner, Deborah uproots their children once again and joins him in Kauai. For the next five years, she dedicates her life to restoring a boat.

Pouring herself into the work at hand can only distract her so much as disillusionment about the cult’s lies and manipulation slowly rises to the surface. While she grapples with emotional turmoil and contemplates a new life path, Deborah sets out to accomplish something she never thought possible: sailing across the Pacific to the Olympic Peninsula. Will the dangers that come with navigating the ocean be too much to bear, or will she find resolution and fortitude in the turbulent adventure?

Grit & Grace: The Transformation of a Ship & a Soul is one woman’s account of conquering overwhelming challenges with tenacity and ingenuity and ultimately discovering her inner strength.

#BookReview: Shades of Rust and Ruin (Shades of Rust and Ruin, #1) by @aghoward_writes

Author A.G. Howard launches a dark new YA fantasy series about a girl whose family is cursed by Halloween

Phoenix “Nix” Loring knows her family is under a Halloween curse. When she was three, her parents tragically died on October 31st. Eleven years later, her twin sister Lark suffered a similar fate. 

Ever since, Nix has battled survivor guilt. She can't even find comfort in Clarey, Lark's boyfriend and the one person who understands her pain, because Nix's hidden feelings for him go far beyond friendship. All that remains are her sketches, where she finds solace among the goblins and faeries in her imaginary world of Mystiquel. When her depression starts affecting her ability to see color, Nix all but gives up on her art, until her uncle goes missing on Halloween day. Hot on his trail, Nix and Clarey step through a portal, becoming trapped inside a decaying version of their town filled with Nix's own sketches come to life. 

As Nix and Clarey search for her uncle within the sinister and dangerous world of Mystiquel, Nix discovers there's more to her family curse and otherworldly artwork than she ever imagined-and unless she can solve the Goblin King's maze before the clock strikes midnight, her life won't be the only one the curse claims next.
