Release Blitz: Just a Little Tempted by Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde

Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde

Release Date: July 28

I never meant to fall for my boss.

When I was hired to be Simon’s assistant, everyone warned me he was impossible—brilliant, demanding, and obsessed with control. But after surviving two months of his rules and grumpy attitude, I’ve learned how to manage my boss. Maybe it’s my chaotic upbringing or the fact that I desperately need this job, but I can’t ignore the moments when his guarded edges soften… even if he pretends they don’t.

Then one nervous slip in front of a major client turns into a fake relationship neither of us can back out of. Now I’m Simon’s “girlfriend,” attending dinners, traveling for meetings, and sharing far too much close proximity with the man I’m not supposed to want. Pretending to belong to him shouldn’t feel real—but it does. And the hardest part isn’t keeping up the lie. It’s realizing I’m falling for him for real.

Release Blitz: Sacked by Aleatha Romig

SACKED

Aleatha Romig

Release Date: July 27

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

“Power, legacy, secrets, and emotional warfare… I ate it UP.” —Review

Second chance romance. Football dynasty. High-stakes betrayal.

My life, my career, my future—was built on the Hubbards’ legacy: honor, heritage, tradition.

Or so I believed.

Now it’s all falling apart.

The Coopers aren’t just a football team.
They’re power, secrets, and emotional warfare.

Under the bright lights of Crystal Light Stadium, the real game is finally clear.

This isn’t just about the Super Bowl—
It’s about protecting my family’s dynasty at any cost.

And this is when he walks back into my life.

The man from my past.
My biggest regret… and my greatest weakness.

He wants a second chance.
A place beside me in a game ruled by loyalty, lies, and betrayal.

But in this world, trust is a risk.
And desire is a liability.

Because what we share…
It’s explosive. Dangerous. Impossible to ignore.

And it might be the one thing that brings everything crashing down.

Because football isn’t just a game.

It’s power. It’s legacy. It’s survival.
And I’ll stop at nothing to keep it alive.

Have you been Aleatha’d?

From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a steamy, addictive football romance packed with power plays, betrayal, and jaw-dropping twists.

SACKED is Book 3 in The Coopers series, ends on a cliffhanger, and must be read in order: INTERCEPTED → RUSHED → SACKED → SCORED.

The continuation of the Coopers series is just as captivating as the beginning. Just when you think you have uncovered all there is to reveal, we are pulled into another twist that only Aleatha could spin. The secrets and lies pile up, just like players on the field. The two lead characters - Vee and Fin - have gone through and will continue to endure plenty for the sake of love and family, and commitment. The biggest questions are: Who should Vee trust, and will you one-click this like you need to?

Sacked picks up after the bombshell ending of book two, and poor Vee is still reeling. As she tries to figure out what is true and what has been hidden from her, more secrets come to light—and somehow nothing seems to add up.

Uncle Darin and Grant continue to keep everyone guessing, while Daphne's decision to contest the will adds even more tension to an already complicated situation. Through it all, the one constant is Fin. Watching his relationship with Vee continue to grow was one of my favorite parts of the book.

Of course, this wouldn't be an Aleatha Romig novel without a cliffhanger! I need answers, and I can't wait to dive into the fourth and final book to see how everything unfolds.

Happy reading!

Release Blitz: Wrath of the White Wolf by Karina Espinosa

Title: Wrath of the White Wolf

Series: The Damned Return

Volume: Two

Author: Karina Espinosa

Genre: Urban Fantasy

Cover Designer: Covers by Christian

Publication Date: July 24th, 2026

Hosted by Lady Amber’s Reviews & PR

I escaped Queens with my freedom—but not my enemies.

They accused me of kidnappings and poisonings I didn’t commit. Turning an entire city against me. So I did the only thing I could—I ran. Back to Colombia. Back to the only place that’s ever felt like home.

But peace doesn’t last long. A new alpha from Medellín steps onto my territory, testing what’s left of my control. And before I can finish dealing with him—Queens reminds me exactly why I ran in the first place. Because they don’t let their enemies go. They finish them.

What comes for me isn’t a warning. It’s a message. And it costs more than I’m willing to lose.

So I stop running. I go back to New York with one goal: revenge.

But Queens isn’t just waiting for me. The God of Death is. The man I thought I could trust when everything fell apart. The one person who should have stood at my side—and didn’t. Now Elias is the only thing standing between me and the war I came to start… and I don’t know if I want to destroy him or make him understand exactly what his betrayal cost me.

And somehow, there’s someone willing to follow me straight into the chaos. No questions. No hesitation. Angel walks into the destruction with me like it’s the easiest choice he’s ever made.

Queens thought the bastard of the alpha had run. They’re about to learn the truth. I’m not running. I’m coming back. And this time? I’m bringing wrath.

Release Blitz: Dangerous Promises by Amy Barnett

Dangerous Promises by Amy Barnett is now live!

Sage

We made a promise.

A promise of payback to be settled by death.

Alexei Rushkoff took something from me. Stolen callously in blood, the agony of a future I no longer get to have rests solely on his shoulders.

When I shook his hand and sealed our death promise, I could have never predicted the lengths he’d go to punish me and how far I would fall in return. As new threats arise and battle lines are drawn, it’s clear this fight may cost us both everything. But there’s only one way to silence the grief that consumes me.

Revenge.

One of us must die.

I want Alexei Rushkoff dead more than I want air in my lungs.

Alexei

From the moment I saw her I knew she was dangerous.

A threat disguised in a delicate package. I always knew it and still, like a fool, I fell for it. Now she has taken something from me. Something I can never forgive.

She must suffer and fall at my hands. Feel the searing pain I feel. I can only hope to suffocate her like she has suffocated me. I have been living hell on earth and it is all. Her. Fault.

No one deserves the wrath of my retribution like she does.

There is only one way out of this.

Revenge.

She thinks she can kill me? She’ll be dead before she ever has the chance.

It’s just a shame someone so pretty has to die.
