Release Blitz: Murder at First Sight by JP Bird

Murder At First Sight by JP Bird is now live!
When a good deed might lead to murder...
Coerced into posing as a seer at her small town's spring fair, barista and aspiring artist Amelia Wethers dives into the dramatic role, comforting herself that it's only a few hours and then she can indulge in sweet and savory snacks. When the wealthy and snarky Summer Foster swans into her tent inquiring about the expected success of her swanky summer party, Amelia's not prepared for the crystal ball to fill with smoke and reveal the shockingly violent murder of Summer's husband.

Amelia grapples with skepticism, anger, and scorn as she tries to warn wealthy scion Phillip Foster that he's a target for murder in a few weeks. Discovering she's descended from a long line of psychics complicates Amelia's investigation, especially when the town's newest and distressingly handsome homicide detective dogs her every step and suspects her of murder.

It's a race to the finish, and Amelia will do anything--including pre-dawn hot yoga, adopting her brother's feral ferrets, missing dessert, setting herself up as bait and making a fool of herself--to stalk a killer.

JP writes cozy mysteries with quirky characters that make her laugh when they disagree with the laid-out plans for their story and take her on a different path. She lives in Winnipeg, Canada, and hates the cold weather but loves the winter months because they're a great excuse to hibernate with a cup of tea or a glass of red wine. When she's not writing or reading, she spends her summers in the garden and her winters plotting how to win her neighbourhood Christmas display competition. They don't know it's a competition, but she plays to win nonetheless.

Release Blitz: Marriage of Sin by Kristen Luciani

 

MARRIAGE OF SIN
Kristen Luciani
Release Date: June 26

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

My arranged husband is younger, relentless, and absolutely certain I belong to him. The worst part? He might be right.

Adriana
At forty, I've built my own empire. I answer to no one. I don't do love, vulnerability, or men who think they can handle me.


But after an attempt on my father's life, I'm forced to take over his world - the one I spent my whole life escaping.


The price of my family's survival? An arranged marriage to Lochlan Molloy, the son of a rival crime boss.


He's twelve years younger. Cocky. Infuriating. Looks at me like I'm the only woman in any room.


I've spent my whole life keeping people out. Keeping myself cold and my heart protected.


I told myself this was just a contract. I told myself I wouldn't fall.


I should have known better than to trust a Molloy.

Lochlan
She thinks she's made of ice. She's wrong.

I see the fire underneath. The way she looks at me when she thinks I'm not watching. The way she melts when I touch her, even as she's pushing me away.

I'll break down every wall. I'll burn the world for her. I'll make her mine in every way that matters.

But I'm keeping a secret that could shatter everything.

And when she finds out I've been lying to her from the start?

Let her hate me. I’ll spend the rest of my life earning her back.





Marriage of Sin was a solid 4-star read for me. Kristen Luciani delivers a compelling mafia romance featuring two mature, successful characters who have worked hard to build lives outside of their powerful family legacies.

Adrianna Colonna DiMicheli and Lochlan Malloy may come from rival worlds, but they share one important trait: both stepped away from their families' businesses to create something of their own. At 40, Adrianna has built a thriving consulting firm from the ground up, while Lochlan has established a successful security company. Neither is interested in being defined solely by their family names.

When a growing turf war threatens both the Italian and Irish organizations, Adrianna and Lochlan find themselves forced into a marriage designed to unite their families and strengthen their position against a common enemy. While Adrianna is understandably reluctant to lower the walls she's built around herself, Lochlan proves to be patient, understanding, and impossible not to fall for.

I really enjoyed watching their relationship develop. The chemistry was there from the beginning, but what stood out most was the respect and trust that slowly grew between them. Lochlan's willingness to give Adrianna the space she needed while still showing up for her made him an easy hero to root for.

The external conflict kept the story moving as Russian forces intensified their attacks against both the Italian and Irish families. The danger, betrayals, and political maneuvering added plenty of tension, especially when threats emerged from within their own ranks. Through it all, Adrianna and Lochlan stood together, proving they were stronger as partners than either could be alone.

If you enjoy mafia romances with mature characters, a marriage-of-convenience storyline, family loyalty, and plenty of action mixed with romance, Marriage of Sin is definitely worth picking up



I am not usually into older women/younger men but this one was a fabulous read that I enjoyed.

Adriana, a self-made woman who has built an empire of her own is pulled into the family business when tragedy strikes. But, the family business comes with a ready-made husband... a younger one. 

This author did a wonderful job writing a story that is outside of my norm but managed to grab and hold my interest with her ability to weave a tale of darkness, drama, suspense, and romance. This one is definitely one you should pick up and read yourself! Well done to this author.

Release Blitz: Burn Her They Said by Cherish Wright

Burn Her They Said
Cherish Wright
(The Anomalies of Ampara Deicra, #1)
Publication date: June 26th 2026
Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Romance










In a land where Dragons are revered like Gods, a witch and her guards must risk it all.

Witches in Ampara Deicra are required to use their powers of emotional influence to benefit sorcerers. None so much as Tasch—a witch born during the Anomaly, when environmental changes caused her magic to develop unmatched abilities.

Taken by the Emperor to manage his mood, she has served by his side since early childhood. Granted the title of Imperial Grand Witch, she is protected by the strongest sorcerers in each form of magic—all Anomalies, like her—with powers beyond any before or after them.

Until a sorcerer named Varic develops abilities surpassing Tasch’s Lead Guard. A fact which the Emperor denies by hiding Varic within the Imperial Army.

Where Varic is made to grow his strength past the point he can contain it, and requires Tasch’s magic to overcome the grief of his magic causing the worst known catastrophe. They fall in love in their time together—and forge a connection which is highly forbidden.

Over time Tasch’s powers fade, rather than strengthen, while the Emperor’s greed escalates the need for resources among bordering lands, who increase their attacks on the Imperial Palace. Fearing the worst, Emperor Aldritch assigns Varic to oversee Tasch’s detail, placing the two beings who must hide their feelings mere inches from each other.

With the highest stakes they’ve ever encountered, can Tasch’s Guards save her and the citizens, with the help of their bonded Dragons?

For fans of Anathema, Dragonfall, and A Discovery of Witches comes the tale of a burnt-out witch in her thirties who is trying to survive long enough to save the citizens from their power-hungry Emperor, with the help of her Guards and the Dragons they share a bond.
