Releasing February 24, 2026
Some secrets refuse to stay buried—no matter how many hearts they break in the telling…
All Regina McClaine needed was a break. A quiet place to recover from the devastating betrayal that wrecked her professional life…and love life. Her great aunt Muriel’s renovated mansion in Jasper Lake seemed like the perfect place for a fresh start. Until she found herself haunted—literally—by an enigmatic ghost.

Security specialist Knox Sinclair arrived at the lake with secrets of his own. But Muriel asked him to investigate threats against the mansion, and that’s what he intended to do. Until Regina—a woman as beautiful as she was clearly hiding something—snagged his full attention and changed everything…

In a garden blooming with betrayals, unsolved mysteries, and second chances, can Regina put her faith in Knox when it matters most? Or is trust a luxury she simply can’t afford?

The Garden of Forgotten Things, Book 2 in the Jasper Lake Series, is an emotional, slow-burn, small town romantic suspense/gothic romance with paranormal/supernatural elements. Grab your copy today and welcome to Jasper Lake, where restoration means breaking open the walls—and the heart—to let the truth in.

Maeve Garner grew up in a small Midwestern town, where front porches, winding backroads, and close-knit communities sparked her love for small town romance. When she's not writing, Maeve enjoys cooking for her family, tending to her flowers, and planning her next adventure--preferably somewhere with beautiful views and a cozy place to relax. She has a soft spot for dogs and happily-ever-afters, and most days you'll find her in her favorite chair, dreaming up swoon-worthy heroes and spirited heroines who always find their way home.

HAVE YOU BEEN A GOOD GIRL?!
Fundamentals of Being a Good Girl by Sierra Simone & Julie Murphy is NOW LIVE!!
Grab this all-new SMOLDERING, small town, age gap, professor/nanny romance TODAY!
Amazon: https://geni.us/FJxx

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Murphy and USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone comes a brand-new college town raunch-com about a sexy single dad professor and a feisty law school grad turned nanny in this steamy tale of Academic Affairs… 

Class is in session.

Maddie Kowalczk is ready to be a bad girl. When the rookie lecturer lands at Astra University, she’s looking to start fresh after a messy breakup. But her first night in town takes a twist when she bumps into Bram Loe—a reserved but incredibly handsome single dad she (not so accidentally) stole a parking spot from earlier that day. The unspoken chemistry as he locks eyes with her while she gets a birthday spanking at a local bar is hotter than a Bunsen burner at full flame.

Bram is looking for a break from his hectic life as an ecology professor and dad to rambunctious twins and a busy teenager. So when his college friend’s divorce celebration brings him face-to-face with the same delectable brat who stole his parking spot, he’s ready for a night to remember. But the next morning, Bram’s world turns upside down (and that’s not just the hangover talking). His new nanny? None other than Maddie, who also happens to be the new poli-sci adjunct at the university where he teaches.

Maddie is desperate and broke, so when Bram offers her a raise and the chance to set some ground rules, she can’t say no. As the two settle into their new roles, the normally unruffled Bram finds that no one riles him up like Maddie does, which is a problem when every argument feels like foreplay. Of course, Bram is an educator first and foremost, and he very quickly finds he can’t resist the temptation of instructing Maddie in the fundamentals of being a good girl.

And it turns out Maddie’s a hands-on learner…

Worth the Risk by Shelia Goss is now live!
Meet the Women in Hollywood
They built their empires under the spotlight. Now love might steal the show.

She built the brand everyone in Hollywood wants to touch.
He’s the voice every playlist can’t live without.
When attraction collides with secrets and scandal, can love survive the glare of fame?

Charlotte Richards turned ambition into an empire, shaping her legacy one headline, one deal, and one star at a time. Polished, unbothered, and always in control, she promised herself she’d never blur business with pleasure. Then came Sean Maxwell, R&B’s most magnetic performer, with a voice that could move millions and a smile that could make her forget the rules.

Sean has everything—fame, fortune, and fans who can turn any mistake into a trending topic. But behind the swagger is a man who knows what he wants, and what he wants is Charlotte. He’s ready to risk it all—his career, his reputation, even his heart—to have her.

When old secrets surface and viral rumors threaten to destroy everything they’ve built, the queen of strategy and the king of smooth must decide if love is the power they’ve both been chasing or the price they can’t afford to pay.

Release Blitz: The Exception by Vi Keeland

 



Title: The Exception
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Boss/Intern, Dominant Hero, Billionaire
Release Date: January 11, 2026



He lives by a set of rules. She might be his one exception.

I just wanted a distraction, something to take the edge off before facing a wedding I was dreading. So on the flight back to New York, I signed up for a dating app. Harmless enough, right?

Wrong.

Turns out, it wasn’t just any app—it catered to people with very specific tastes. By the time I realized it, I was already on my date.

Tall, confident, and sinfully handsome, Jagger Langston seemed like the full package. The chemistry between us was instant—electric enough to burn the whole city down. Though things took a turn when we figured out I’d misunderstood who should join the app. We laughed it off, said goodbye, and went our separate ways.

Or so I thought.

Until I walked into my new internship Monday morning, ready to put the weekend behind me, and there he was—my boss.

Now I’m caught between the rules he lives by—and the temptation to make him break every single one of them.
