Promo Blitz: Broken Highway by Logan Rivers

PROMO BLITZ - Broken Highway by Logan Rivers
Length: 62,000 words
Series: Cult Boys, 1 (standalone)
Prior Reading: n/a
Genre: contemporary, erotic romance
Tropes: Grumpy/Sunshine, Road Trip, Slow Burn, Instalust, Sex Work, Two-Against-the-World
Trigger/Content Warnings: On page: Strong graphic sexual content, physical violence (including fists, choking, knives, fire, and guns), a scene of domestic violence, attempted SA of an adult, sex work, suicide ideation, kidnapping and captivity, car accidents, religious cultism, religous-induced homophobia, a half-chapter about water sports (even if the faucet never drips), light daddy kink (nickname only), public sex, sex scene before characters meet, a scene of MMM shenanigans, jealousy, butter as lube, and a scorching hot motel with a broken air conditioner.
Off page: SA of a minor, child abuse, death of parents, death of loved ones, cancer.
These two characters are surrounded by darkness, however most of the warnings are due to exterior forces. The majority of these warnings are not things that happen between the two men with one notable exception; there is a scene (albeit short) of one choking the other.
I wanted to be a ghost, to disappear, because people can’t find what they can’t see and can’t hurt what they can’t touch.
NOAH
My life is a blur of asphalt and regret, the highway my only refuge from a past that’s bruised and bloody.
By day, I crash in dingy motel rooms, chasing sleep that never comes.
By night, I drive, picking up strangers for fleeting trysts that keep the ghosts at bay.
But then I meet Seven: wild-eyed and dangerous.
One night should’ve been enough, but Seven’s touch lingers like a brand, promising something I’m too broken to name.

SEVEN
I’m running from the echoes of cult hymns that still claw at my mind.
Freedom came with a price: the body of a man in the trunk of my car.
My mother always said I was a lost cause with a pretty face.
She was right.
I hustle my body to survive.
But then I meet Noah.
One look, one spark, and a carefully buried hunger roars to life.

TOGETHER
We’re two fractured souls on a collision course, our meeting a lit match in a world soaked with gasoline.
We could burn it all down.
But when our ghosts catch up to us, will we save each other or become the wreckage that’s left behind?

Broken Highway is the first novel in a series of standalones. Each book can be read independently, as they are connected only by the theme of cults.
Logan Rivers is a thirty-something writer of gay romance who currently calls Western New York home. When not writing, you can find them watching trashy television and practicing their Survivor audition tape.

Book Blitz and Giveaway: The Road to Gretna by Suleena Bibra

The Road to Gretna
Suleena Bibra
(Road to Romance, #1)
Publication date: June 3rd 2025
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

What better way to escape reality than going on a reality show that combines The Amazing Race, Love Island, and Pride and Prejudice?

Naomi Richmond is hoping an ocean is far enough away from her overbearing father. She’s chosen London and built a life there with a job she only dislikes about a quarter of the time.

Nate Williams is perfectly happy where he is, and his dissatisfaction with his job is so low it can’t be quantified numerically. Unfortunately, his boss (and Naomi’s father) is asking him to do something that might make him start to hate Mondays: convince Naomi to come home.

Nate arrives in London at the same time Naomi receives an offer that intrigues her as much as Nate does: be on a reality dating show, where the contestants will pretend to be Regency aristocrats eloping to the famed Gretna Green. Nate is sure it’s his job to stop this, but instead, he ends up on the show with her. Now Naomi is trying to make a name for herself while Nate is trying to make sure she doesn’t do anything to embarrass her father, and they’re both trying to fight the attraction they feel for each other. On camera.

Tune in whenever you find this book and watch Nate and Naomi find themselves and each other, on The Road to Gretna!

“You’re ruined now!” a voice screeches.

I lift my head at the inane comment. “What?” My lips are still wet from the kiss, and I still have a painful erection. I don’t appreciate the interruption.

I see Diane, the chaperone, looking incensed in front of us, with a cameraperson and producer standing behind her.

“Right, we’re on a reality show,” I whisper to Naomi.

“Ruined! After all my hard work keeping you virtuous, now you’re ruined!” Diane carries on, adding some dramatic hand gestures and maybe some tears.

Naomi starts giggling next to me, first demurely behind her hand, but then louder as Diane keeps ranting. She sets me off and now we’re both laughing in the face of…whatever this is.

“Why is no one concerned about my virtue, though?” I ask Naomi, sending her into more fits of laughter.

“You’re a man.” Diane pauses the rant to educate me. “And you’ve ruined Naomi!”

I try to defend the lady next to me. And myself. “Ruined seems like a bit of an overreaction for a kiss.”

“A kiss.” Diane sounds as scandalized as if I told her I was getting a hummer on this bench instead of a hot, but still tame, kiss. “Ruined!”

These might be the only words Diane knows now, too shocked at the (fully clothed) debauchery that allegedly happened here.

“All right then. Maybe we should go back to the ball?” I have no idea what it supposed to happen now that I’ve “ruined” a woman, never having done it before. I look at Naomi, hoping she has any idea what we’re supposed to do, but she’s still laughing too hard at the situation to be any help.

I stand up, not worried about my penis, which started softening at the first screech of “ruin.” I extend my arm out to Naomi, who manages to stop laughing enough to take it.

The producer standing next to the camerawoman gives us a thumbs-up and Diane immediately stops crying. Terrifying.

“Great. We’ve got that. We can go back inside, but we’re going to put you two in a sitting room for a few hours. Part of the ruin consequences. We’ll bring you out when it’s time to get in a couple.” The producer indicates we should follow her. “I’m Aiko, by the way. I’ll be producing the both of you.”

“Hi. Nice to meet you,” I say to the East Asian-British woman in front of me. “I don’t usually ruin women in gardens.”

That sets Naomi off again, and I have to half drag her laughing body back inside the house.

Suleena Bibra has read romance in one form or another since she could pick her own books. She occasionally branches out to other genres, but really, what’s the point if there’s no kissing? She also loves to laugh, which probably has to do with her dad putting Monty Python on whenever her mom wasn’t looking.

Suleena studied art history in college and loves to travel every opportunity she gets. A bit indecisive, she has worked as a museum intern, lawyer, workers’ compensation adjuster, and private investigator. Author is best, though, so she can continue living out a bunch of other careers without changing out of her pajamas.

Suleena writes RomComs heavy on banter, shenanigans, and aggressive whimsy. She spends the rest of her time annoying her stubborn, but adorable, bulldog (who also doubles as her particularly lazy writing assistant) with her love.

Release Blitz: Dirty Little Secrets by Carmen Rosales




When he finds out who I am, will he save me—or destroy me?


Dirty Little Secrets, an all-new workplace, dark mafia, billionaire romance from bestselling author Carmen Rosales is now available!


NORI

Moving to New York was a chance to jump-start my career after graduating from college. I didn’t want to accept the job offered by the man I was dating, but I had no other choice. I needed a job. It didn’t matter that he couldn’t satisfy me sexually—he wasn’t the only man I’d met who couldn’t.

Then, a friend from work gave me a discreet club membership as a birthday gift. Nothing could have prepared me for what I’d find there—or, more importantly, who.

Xaiden. The owner of the company I worked for. A man who didn’t even know I existed.

Night after night in the dark room, I embarked on a passionate affair that was both daring and dangerous. As secrets began to unravel, I realized Xaiden was not only powerful but also deeply controlling. When he finds out who I am, will he save me—or destroy me?

Jeremy

A sudden inheritance allowed me to leave my job as an English professor.

I planned to sell my aunt’s house, hit the road, and figure out what the hell I really wanted out of life.

Then I met Connor. My intense attraction to him sent my head spinning, but he was nothing like me, a former marine, locked up tight in the closet when I wanted to live life out loud in the sunshine. Did we even stand a chance?

Connor

I used to put my life on the line every day in my Force Recon unit. Now I run Spit Shine Clean, scrubbing toilets and dusting mantels for a living.

When a soft-spoken man hires me to get his house ready to sell, I wasn’t expecting my life to turn upside down once again.

From the moment I saw him, he was all I craved, but the ghosts of my past weighed me down. Was I capable of being the guy Jeremy deserved? Maybe not, but the pull of attraction was undeniable.  This might be the biggest risk of my life.

Title: Venomous Kiss
Author: T.L. Smith
Genre: Dark Romance
Release Date: October 14, 2025
Cover Design: RBA Designs
Discreet Cover Design: Hang Le



The night I catch my husband cheating is the night I stop pretending.

I don’t cry. I don’t scream.
I don’t get mad—I get even.

So I bring home another man.
A stranger with wicked eyes and a smile sharp enough to carve me open. I let him have me in the house I share with a liar.

A moment of weakness? Maybe.
A moment of revenge? Definitely.

But he saw me—the darkness, the hunger, the parts my husband hated—and he wanted more.

I ran before I could fall deeper into his abyss.

A year later, I crash one of the city’s most forbidden parties…
And land right back in the middle of his depraved world.

Only this time, he’s promised to another.
And he vows he’s not letting me go.
