Boss Daddy by K.C. Crowne

About Featured Book: Boss Daddy by K.C. Crowne

I may be rich but none of that fu@king matters if I’m dead inside.

Losing my wife broke me.
Left a crater in my chest impossible to fill. Until her.

Erin walked into my club like a goddamn storm.
Sharp. Untouchable.
The best bartender I’ve ever seen.
And the first woman who’s made me feel a damn thing in years.

But she’s running.
Haunted by demons that won’t quit.
Let them come.
They have no idea who they’re up against.

The plan is simple.
She moves into my cabin.
Pretends to be mine.
No one touches her. No one even breathes her name.

But this isn’t just a simple game of pretend.
Not when she looks at me like I’m the only thing keeping her together.

I’ll protect Erin.
And the miracle growing inside her.

And if anyone tries to take them from me?
I’ll bury them where they stand.

Joy After Noon by Debra Coleman Jeter

Joy After Noon by Debra Coleman Jeter

JOY AFTER NOON is the story of Joy Hancock, her new gorgeous husband Ray, and his two daughters, Marianne and Jenny. Marianne, a would-be ballerina, is haunted by the image of her deceased, perfection-demanding mother. Her younger sister, Jenny, longing for acceptance and companionship, befriends troubled and trouble-seeking Claudia, with dire consequences. Joy struggles to balance the challenges of career as a college professor coming up for tenure with those of her new family, while Ray faces an ethical dilemma at work. He must decide whether or not to blow the whistle on his colleagues following an ill-advised merger. At home he alternates between being distracted and irritable, and Joy misreads the signals as indicating his disappointment in her due to her failures—to live up to the model set by his first wife and to cope with the girls and domestic life. Inspired in part by Love, Come Softly, this novel explores the challenges of second marriages and dealing with stepchildren during the crucial years of puberty and teenage angst. This book is discounted 35% on Amazon for a limited time.

I was instantly drawn into Joy’s story. A beautiful story full of inescapably good characters – you get so pulled into their world that you miss them just as soon as the book is closed.—Paige Boggs

The Disciplining of Mom by Anita M Shaw

The Disciplining of Mom by Anita M Shaw

What happens when the tables turn, and an adult gets grounded?

When Mom calls Dad a spineless jellyfish for not standing up to his obnoxious brother, Willis, Dad grounds her for a week. Reyia, 13, Reymund, 17, and Rodney, 16, side with Dad. Until they realize they’ll be fending for themselves for the whole week—cooking, cleaning, laundry? Oh, my

Thing is, they expected her to apologize within the day if not the hour—which is what they would’ve done in her position.

Yes, and Mom’s grounded her car, truck, and keys with her. Which means, not only does Reymund not have wheels for his date with beautiful, but fickle, Delora, Reyia, Rodney, and little Ryleigh have to find a way to get to the stables after school to practice for the horse show Saturday. Likely, they’ll have no way of getting to the horse show either, for Dad works most weekends and has no real interest in their horsey endeavors.

And way before Saturday, Reyia is fed up with trying to manage household chores along with the rest of her life!

How long will Mom hold out before she tires of solitary confinement? Doesn’t she care that Dad’s sleeping in his basement mancave?

Yes, Reyia has a nagging worry that her family is about to face a major break up . . .

Mom, please . . . just apologize!

With its lighthearted mix of humor, heart, and family chaos, The Disciplining of Mom is perfect for readers who love coming-of-age tales and heartfelt family dramas.

The Friend of My Mind by Gil Frank

“Written by a man about the woman he loved with all his soul is healing. We NEED more books and works like these.” —Jessica Coates. Victims of Abuse Advocate During the week of mourning Gil opened the blue crate she never agreed to unpack. He discovered her poems of passion and erotic enjoyment with previous lovers. The family was shocked, but the secret consumed him in a tumultuous whirlwind. He hid it until the family left. Then, he let the verses, like Satan bites, scramble his dreams, twist his grief.

Date, Ditch, or Do… My by Lola Gray

Date, Ditch, or Do… My by Lola Gray

“How did your date go last night?” A disembodied voice interrupts the otherwise perfect silence of my office. My assistant, Olivia, has left her intercom on again. I meant to warn her about that the last time it happened, but then I got busy with work and forgot about it entirely. At least I did until her friend from HR, the frizzy blonde, showed up.
What date? Olivia never mentioned that she’s seeing someone. Not that it would be appropriate to discuss her personal life with her boss, but still. We’ve developed a friendship, I thought. In the least, a tolerable working environment.
If she’s dating some clod, I need to know these things. Good assistants are hard to find. There’s a twinge under my ribs. Hmmm. Must be heartburn.
It’s time to shake things up around here. If I don’t make a move soon, that managing mama of hers will finally fix her up with someone who isn’t a degenerate or a reject, and I’ll lose her forever. As my assistant, of course.

*This is a short and steamy age gap office romance that turns out to be more than fun and games. There is no sharing, no cheating, no other man or other woman drama. It comes with a sticky-sweet, guaranteed happily ever after.
Tropes include, but are not limited to:
*Age Gap
*Billionaire Bosshole
*Oh, No! Only one bed!
*Forced proximity
*Office romance

Shadows of Tehran

About Shadows of Tehran:

“When you find yourself at the gates of Hell, keep walking.” —Churchill
Raised in Tehran but torn between two worlds, Ricardo’s young life is thrown into chaos when his American father abandons the family just as the Islamic Revolution of 1979 breaks out. As fundamental human rights are washed away in a tide of religious, anti-Western fanaticism, Ricardo’s mother remarries, introducing a stepfather with a dark secret.
At only 14 years old, Ricardo vows to take back what was stolen under the oppressive, authoritarian rule. He quickly becomes a rebel leader, earning himself renown as the Shadow Rider of Tehran. When his name is leaked and an execution order issued, he must flee the only country he has called home. But the fight is not over. Blessed with an indomitable will and unbreakable spirit, Ricardo becomes a US Special Forces soldier, and in a surprising turn of events, lands right back where he started.
Spanning continents and infused with heart-pounding action, Shadows of Tehran is more than just a story of war. It’s an exploration of one man’s refusal to break under abuse, abandonment, and loss—an affirmation that we, not the events in our lives, determine whether to be a victim or survivor. Based on a true story, this is an astonishing tale of resilience, rebellion, and the enduring human spirit—one that will inspire anyone facing their own shadows to keep pushing forward.
