She was his chance for redemption.

He was her key to freedom.

Prince Ramiel Faundor is a bastard. His entire existence is the second best-kept secret in a kingdom built on blurred lines. But when his dragon-slaying brother dies in battle, Ramiel must stand in his place in the kingdom's coronation duel. There's just one problem: thanks to the king's intimidation, no noble or soldier dares to train him.

Ether Malaphon is a cutthroat elven warrior. Her hatred for humanity is etched into her soul, second only to her resentment for the fairies who killed her parents. Her world unravels when she's dragged from her village to be sacrificed to a long-dead monarch. But fate intervenes when a certain desperate prince strikes a bargain that might save her life. If he rescues her, she must agree to train him for his duel.

As time runs out and enemies close in, Ramiel and Ether must navigate dark curses, buried secrets, and a history determined to repeat itself. But in a kingdom shaped by betrayal, victory may come at the ultimate cost.

Aspen

I’ve finally escaped the everyday hell I’ve dealt with since I was a child. Moving to the small Colorado town of Raven Creek to build a new life felt like the best idea at the time. One of peace, calm nights, and good friends. But when I introduce the hot as sin cowboy as my fake boyfriend for one night, everything shifts. The question is, is it for better or worse?

Rowan

I’ve spent my entire life taking care of my family and our ranch. That all shifts the moment I see her across the bar. Rescuing her from another man was the easy part, but when she says I’m her boyfriend? It all just feels right—I’m hooked. Some may even say obsessed. But I don’t care. I’m willing to do whatever I have to, to ensure she remains mine.

Please note this is a dark romance with morally grey characters and questionable morals.

#BookReview: The Lost Pack by Sophie Davis @seesophiewrite



A fallen pack. A stolen throne. An Alpha’s daughter with vengeance in her heart.

The twin comets were meant to bring peace to the Ophiuchus Wolf Pack. Instead, they unleashed chaos. Drake Aspen, once the privileged daughter of the Alpha, loses everything in a single night—her family, her freedom, her pack. Now, imprisoned in the Snake Mountains under the rule of a ruthless usurper, Drake is no longer a leader but a pawn.

With Penn Williams, the pack’s enigmatic Beta, assigned to guard her every move, the lines between enemy and ally blur. There's an undeniable spark between them, but Drake knows better than to trust him—he's hiding deadly secrets.

As whispers of an ancient prophecy grow louder, Drake must make a choice: uncover the truth, rally a rebellion, or lose her pack forever. Her fate—and her heart—hang in the balance.

Betrayal is inevitable. Vengeance is close. But will it be enough to save them all?

Piers “Webber” Webb knew two things for certain.

One, he needed to stay the hell away from Silver Donahue. Two, he didn’t think there was a chance in hell that he could.

He tries, though.

For a solid year, he does his best to be dismissive to the point where he appears cold and threatening.

But when Silver finds herself in danger, he forgets why he was giving her the cold shoulder to begin with.

The thing is, Silver didn’t forget.

***

Silver Donahue was so deeply in love with Piers Webb it was disheartening. Especially knowing he didn’t like her back.
She’s determined to live her life, but with Webber always on the edge of her existence, she knows it’s futile.

But she tries.

The thing is, there’s no way you can ignore Piers Webb when he’s aiming that dark and deadly gaze your way.

She’s determined to keep him at a distance, until one night she has to pick him up on the side of a deserted road in the middle of nowhere. That one moment of need on his end is all she needs to realize a few things.

He’s as scary as he wants her to believe, and killing a man and disposing of a body is a daily practice for him.

She should run so far in the opposite direction, because he has so many red flags, even a toddler wouldn’t be able to ignore them.

But she’s always proven she makes bad decisions.

But Piers Webb is going to be the best bad decision she’s ever made.

#TeaserTuesday: One Year in Paris by @horsnells @RABTBookTours #Giveaway


 


Contemporary Romance

Date Published: 07-25-2025

Publisher: Lipstick Publishing



When Annalise Garner arrives in Paris to study art, she’s chasing quiet—far from her Southern roots, far from expectations. What she doesn’t expect is to meet Jett Hunter, a star American soccer player with green eyes, a bruised past, and a future under a constant spotlight.

Jett lives for the game. Annelise lives for the canvas. But when fate intertwines their worlds on a rain-soaked street in the City of Lights, neither is prepared for the slow-burn connection that follows.

As their hearts tangle between café tables and gallery walls, the intrusion of the press and career choices threaten to pull them apart.

Jett faces pressure to return to New York.

Annalise wrestles with who she is beyond her art.

And just when they start to find their rhythm, a devastating injury changes everything.

Set against the romance of Paris and the quiet beauty of rebuilding a life, One Year in Paris is a tender story of love that endures the noise, finds strength in the silence, and blooms where it’s least expected.

(Kiss of Death MC)

 

Motorcycle Club Romance, Suspense, Age Gap

Date Published: August 22, 2025

 



Redemption doesn't come free. And sometimes, the price is paid in blood.

 

Pain -- When I walked out of Terre Haute Prison, I wasn't the same man who went in. I've got blood on my hands, but I'm determined to pay my debt and take back what's left of my life. Once I'm home, inside the walls of the motorcycle club that welcomed me when I had no one, I have more hope than I dared to have the whole time I was incarcerated. Problem is, the past doesn't stay buried. When I recognized Nadine, a young woman from my past, and got to know the woman she'd become, I'd convinced myself there's no way to be worthy of a woman like her. Until she's put squarely in the crosshairs of a situation she knows nothing about. That's when it's time to earn my road name and bring her enemies a world of hurt.

Nadine -- I know better than to fall for an ex-con. I've seen the worst of humanity from inside prison walls where I work as a nurse. But something about Dr. Raven, or Pain, as they call him, gets under my skin. There was a time when he was my hero, the person I wanted to be most like. I admit I might have a huge case of hero worship and the tiniest little crush on him. I don't know the rules in his world outside the prison, but I know I need to learn fast. Especially since corrupt cops seem to be hell-bent on cutting in on the Kiss of Death territory. It sometimes feels like I'm fighting just to breathe. But the scariest part? It's not the blood, the bullets, or the bodies. It's that I might actually be falling in love with Ford "Pain" Raven.

 

A gritty, steamy romance featuring a protective alpha, a fierce heroine who refuses to break, and the family you choose when the world tries to tear you apart.
