As whispers of revolution swell into a roar for freedom, Lucy Carlson is no longer content to simply watch from behind the counter of her father’s jewelry shop. When a mysterious woman—none other than Martha Washington—leaves behind a locket, Lucy discovers the piece is more than a pretty keepsake.

In a war where even allies can become enemies, Lucy and Branch must navigate a world of hidden truths and guarded hearts. With the fate of the colonies—and their hearts—hanging in the balance

Serial Bangers! by Sheridan Anne

Serial Bangers! by Sheridan Anne

I’m many things—sarcastic, ruthless, and offensively good at my job.
What I’m not is tolerant of my brand-new neighbor—Raiden Kane.

He’s infuriating, smug, and far too attractive for someone who treats our shared parking like a declaration of war. Sure, I could handle all of that, but what I can’t handle is his Energizer Bunny stamina and apparent addiction to beautiful women—an addiction that plays out for hours every night through the insultingly thin wall between our bedrooms.

Raiden Kane knows exactly what he’s doing to me, and I’d dare say it’s the best game he’s ever played. My tolerance meter is wearing thin. Especially when he looks at me with those lazy bedroom eyes that suggest he already knows exactly how I taste.

Work is supposed to keep me sane. It’s my escape. Until it isn’t. Our worlds collide, and the man I’d happily strangle on principle starts turning up where he doesn’t belong.

Coincidence? Please.

There’s something off about Raiden Kane. He’s hiding secrets of his own, and I fully intend to pry them from his cocky, sinful soul . . . one delicious mistake at a time.

Living next door to him was a mistake.

Falling for him would be worse.

But underestimating him?

That might be the one thing that gets me killed.

Roughneck of Hollow Peak by Dee Ellis

Reece Black

I used to command the thunderous steel of offshore oil rigs. Now, the only thing I command is the heavy silence of my cabin in Hollow Peak.

I didn’t just leave the coast; I fled the memory of an accident I know was my fault and the ghosts of the victims I left in its wake. In the shadows of these mountains, I’d finally found a way to disappear—until a woman with a bright smile and a stubborn heart knocks on my door.

A breathtaking love story .
A MUST READ TODAY FOR BOOK LOVERS!!

She thought fairy tales were over, until love gave her a second chance…
Yet was it real this time, or just déjà vu?

Amber’s world collapsed the day Levi walked away, leaving her with nothing but broken dreams and a son who needed her to be strong.

Single mother. Two jobs. Zero time for fairy tales.

This wasn’t the life she’d planned.

She was supposed to be living her happily ever after, not struggling to pay rent while her ex-husband started over with someone new. Love was a luxury she couldn’t afford anymore. She’d learned the hard way that princes were just wolves in designer suits.

But destiny has a way of rewriting even the most broken chapters.

Then fate decided to test her resolve…

One collision with a stranger changes everything. Rian’s gentle touch awakens something she thought was dead forever. His warmth melts the ice around her heart, makes her remember what it feels like to be cherished instead of used.

But Amber doesn’t want gentle. She wants to stay safe.

Rian is anything but safe. Gorgeous, devoted, everything Levi pretended to be. When he looks at her like she’s worth fighting for, Amber feels dangerous emotions stirring. Hope. Trust. The terrifying possibility of love.

However, some families don’t play fair…

Just when Amber starts believing in second chances, Rian’s powerful dynasty decides she’s not worthy of their golden boy.

Now she’s caught between the man who’s healing her broken heart and a family with unlimited resources and zero conscience. They want Rian back, and they’ll destroy anyone standing in their way.

Including the single mother who dared to love their heir.

Meanwhile, James is still there. Still waiting. Still believing she deserves better than the scraps life keeps throwing her.

But some wars can’t be won with love alone. And Amber’s about to discover that fighting for happiness might cost her everything she’s worked to rebuild.

Some love is worth fighting for. But can Amber survive a war against people who have everything to lose and nothing to fear?

Will she risk it all for the love that saved her, or will she lose the only man who ever saw her true worth?

Will Amber risk her heart for love, or be destroyed by the merciless grip of wealth and power?

An unforgettable tale of sacrifice and desire, of second chances and shattered dreams, this is a sweeping romance that will break your heart, heal your soul, and remind you of the courage it takes to believe in love again.

His Little Witness by Kindra Cress

His Little Witness by Kindra Cress

He was sent to make me disappear. He wasn’t supposed to want me for himself.

I recorded a murder. One shake video, one VIP room I should never have served, one man who looked straight into my phone and smiled, and now the most powerful men in the city want me erased before sunrise.

Then he found me first.

Silas doesn’t ask. He doesn’t comfort. He shows up like a blade in a tailored shirt and tells me I have ten seconds to choose: walk away and die, or come with him and lose every piece of the life I used to have. Cold-blooded, ruthlessly efficient, and absolutely not allowed to touch me, he’s the man Blackwater sends when there’s nothing left to save.

But he touches me anyway.

Every safehouse gets burned. Every alias gets cracked. Someone inside his own organization is feeding me to the wolves, and Silas just promised he’d torch Blackwater to the ground before he let them take me.

God help me, because I want to watch him do it.

A dark, possessive, slow-burn romantic suspense for readers who like their heroes lethal, their heroines sharp-tongued, and their tension thick enough to cut. Forced proximity. One bed (eventually). A man who was supposed to be untouchable until he met her. HIS LITTLE WITNESS is Book 1 in the Blackwater series. HEA guaranteed.

Reader note: Steamy, explicit, and intense. Contains on-page violence, themes of stalking and surveillance, and a hero whose protective instincts run very, very dark.

Descending Thirds by Nicole Conn

Descending Thirds by Nicole Conn

“Playing piano is a dangerous life.”

Not because of the music itself, but because of the passions it awakens, the ambitions it fuels, and the hearts it inevitably breaks.

Set against the electrifying world of elite international piano competition in the 1960s, Descending Thirds is an epic tale of love, obsession, ambition, betrayal, and the devastating cost of greatness.

At its center is Alexandra von Triessen, a gifted young pianist whose life becomes forever entangled with two extraordinary brothers. Sebastian D’Antonio is charismatic, magnetic, and impossible to resist—a “finger-proud” lothario who commands every room he enters. Conrad D’Antonio, his adopted brother, is something altogether different: a quiet musical savant who writes transcendent music not for fame or applause, but because writing music is breathing for him.

Drawn to both men, Alexandra finds herself caught in a passionate and heartbreaking triangle that spans years, continents, and some of the most prestigious concert halls in the world.

As the competitors gather for the renowned Ketterling International Piano Competition, careers are made, dreams are shattered, and long-buried secrets begin to emerge. What follows is a sweeping story of forbidden love, family loyalty, artistic sacrifice, and the lengths people will go to protect the ones they love.

Richly researched and emotionally immersive, Descending Thirds invites readers into a rarely seen world where music becomes a language of desire, rivalry, heartbreak, and redemption. Along the way, readers will encounter unforgettable characters, stunning twists, and a love story that refuses to fit neatly into any category.

Perfect for readers who love emotionally powerful fiction, family sagas, historical drama, prestige television storytelling, and unforgettable romances, Descending Thirds has been praised for its cinematic scope, emotional depth, and page-turning narrative.

Multi award-winning and impossible to forget, Descending Thirds is a novel about the music that shapes us, the choices that define us, and the loves that haunt us forever.

The Way Back to Us by N. S. Gorman

The Way Back to Us by N. S. Gorman

Dear Reader, thank you for picking up this story. The Way Back to Us is the beginning of something I’ve been building for a while — a three-book trilogy set on a fictional Florida Keys island called Coral Key, about two people figuring out whether love can survive the distance between who they were and who they’ve become. This prequel novelette is your doorway in. It’s where Lena comes home. It’s where Evan is still standing on the dock. And it’s where the real question begins — not “can they find their way back?” but “can they build something that lasts?” The idea for this series started with something simple: the belief that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is go back. Back to the place that shaped you. Back to the person who knew you before you had anything figured out. That’s what Coral Key is — a place where second chances feel possible and the sunsets remind you that endings can also be beginnings. I hope you love Lena, Evan, Sophie, and this little island as much as I do. Welcome to Coral Key. Warmly, N. S. Gorman
