When a vicious assassin is banished from the only life he’s ever known, he starts over only to be tempted by the goddaughter he hasn’t seen in almost twenty years.
Hades
Vindictive, malicious, some would even say sadistic…
I couldn’t argue with any of those assessments. We are who we are. I’m a vengeful assassin who will stop at nothing to make those who wronged me pay. And I’m thirsty for revenge.
Eighteen years ago, I took the fall for a man who was like a brother to me. I even vowed to protect his daughter by becoming her godfather— and then he betrayed me.
Two decades later, his daughter, now a stunning woman, strolls into my life, having no idea who I am or what I’m capable of. Capri takes an unhealthy interest in me, the older and dangerous man, and I don’t do anything to discourage her. I welcome her obsession because it suits me.
When her infatuation with me grows stronger, I prove just how vindictive, malicious, and sadistic I really am. Is she the opportunity I need to enact my revenge against her father or is she the reason I finally let this vendetta go?
USA Today Bestselling author Ella Jade writes dark mafia romances with dominating mob bosses, the strong women who challenge them, and suspenseful twists that keep her readers turning the pages.
When she isn’t reading or writing sexy, angsty, and intense words, she indulges in a well-crafted martini and binge watches episodes of Dallas, Falcon Crest, and Dynasty, where she learned at an early age how to spin an old-school cliffhanger. She also enjoys spoiling her two chihuahua writing companions.
For Better or for Ransom by Patricia Puentes is now live!
Entertainment journalist Sol Novo and her partner, private detective Luke Contadino, are a year in, living together, and trying to enjoy some downtime in her native Barcelona. Then, the night she interviews international heartthrob actor Leonardo Pascual, he vanishes from his theater dressing room. All that’s left behind is an open window and a taunting note on the mirror.
When streaming giant Meshflixx hires Luke's agency to find Leonardo—their missing leading man in an upcoming show—Sol steps in as an unofficial consultant. The high-stakes investigation soon pulls the duo away from Barcelona's bustling streets to the sun-drenched, turquoise coast of Mallorca. But chasing a vanished movie star across a Mediterranean paradise leaves a twice-divorced woman wondering if she has one more "I do" left in her.
Sun-soaked, witty, and deliciously twisty, For Better or for Ransom is the next irresistible installment in the Sol and Luke mystery romance series.

Patricia Puentes is a mystery romance author and recovering entertainment journalist from Barcelona. After spending nearly twenty years in the U.S.—mostly in Los Angeles and Oakland, with a brief stint in Boston—she’s now back in her hometown, writing stories where glam, love, and suspense collide.
She writes open-door mystery romances and rom-com whodunnits filled with banter, humor, and just enough steam to keep you turning pages. Her books include the Sol & Luke Mystery Romance series (Cluelessly Unscripted, Scripted for Love and Poison) and the Confidential Hearts novels (Love, Lines, and Alibis and the upcoming Falling Undercover).
Patricia can tell many funny—and occasionally surreal—stories about the celebrities she’s interviewed, but she’s most impressed by writers (and dogs). She lives in Barcelona with her partner and their spoiled Border Collie, Boira (aka Peluchín diabólico).
Tropes: opposites attract; golden retriever x black cat; banter; messy-texting himbo; low angst; grumpy x sunshine; one night stand; hookup turns into more; role play; soft dom; rescue kitten; they are like their pets; food is a love language; birthday parties; jock x librarian; hurt/comfort; characters who enjoy books; and cutthroat amateur sports competition in a queer sports league.

-There is a brief instance of homophobic behavior, but MMC's father steps up and shuts that down.
-Brief references to parent with alcohol problems and toxic perfectionism.

A new romance from award-winning author Anna Richland, perfect for readers who enjoy banter-filled MM contemporary romances like Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall, A Time to Shine by Rachel Reid, The Unlikely Heir by Jax Calder, or Cat Sebastian's Star Shipped.
When Connor's out-of-town hookup turns out to be the library's new hire, he gets busy CHECKING OUT THE LIBRARIAN.
Connor McMillan has his life together. Mostly.
Teaching second graders is a perfect job for his high energy, but why can't he find a boyfriend who likes his enthusiasm too? He wants someone in the bleachers cheering just for him, someone to cook dinner with, someone who will maybe, possibly, dress up and do a little Regency cosplay, but that last thing he doesn't say out loud.
Starting over in Oregon means Jonathan Park has to try new things, meet people who don't work at the library, and hope that this time he won't repeat the same mistakes.
Who's he kidding? He self-sabotages the hell out of anything good, but maybe the first step to self-improvement is saying yes to a real date with his internet hookup.
And step two? Learning to pet Connor's dog.
Connor's friends suggest he dial himself back and be more chill with Jonathan, but every time he looks at the man he wants to call his boyfriend, his brain chases his tail.
Unlocking the librarian's fortified heart will be a challenge, but he's taught kids to read. How hard can it be to teach Jonathan to say I love you?
CHECKING OUT THE LIBRARIAN is a spicy male-male romance for readers who want a fun, happy read with a library kitten, queer softball games, and county fair food. (145,000 words, dual POV).
Anna Richland (she/her) writes award-winning romances about geeky characters falling in love. She is a former US Army officer and ex-lawyer who now fills her days with imaginary people and very real coffee. When not wearing pajamas at her computer, she takes watercolor painting classes, plays decidedly mediocre pickleball, and maintains a fifty-year habit of reading too much.
She lives with her quietly funny Canadian husband and two occasionally-resident young adults in a very old house in Seattle. Raised in the Midwest, she’s lived on both coasts and visited more than twenty-five countries, half of them courtesy of her former army career.
Tropes: Fake Relationship, Hidden Identity, Small Town

A fake engagement to the hot sheriff who escorted me to family camp? Weirdly delightful. Failing to tell him that my family is a bunch of professional thieves? Small oversight.
I left the Callahan family business years ago. These days I’m a law-abiding citizen. A photographer who takes nothing but pictures. A man who’s learned not to get greedy for anything… or anyone.
But my family hasn’t gotten that memo, so I expect my week at family camp to be filled with guilt-trippy attempts to lure me back into the fold.
Until Holden Axford comes along… and everything goes axe backwards.
Winsome’s gorgeous sheriff was supposed to be nothing more than a one-night-stand. He doesn’t have a clue why I’m dreading this week, but he takes his protection game seriously. So when he thinks I need a rescue, he steps in and declares himself my fiancé… and I’m too busy swooning to argue.
Now Holden’s sharing my bed, stealing kisses like Callahans steal Rembrandts, planning a camp heist (for fun, obvs!), and charming my family of criminals.
Our motto is ‘Callahans don’t get caught’ but nobody warned me about catching feelings.
Unfortunately, secrets don’t stay buried forever. And when someone forces the Callahans toward one last impossible job, protecting the family I love means becoming the man I swore I’d never be again.
But if Holden learns the truth about my past, it’ll be goodbye fake engagement, goodbye sheriff… goodbye heart.

Carter
I've worked hard my entire life to be the person that everyone expects me to be, the perfect son and the perfect little Catholic, bound by the rules and expectations of others. But underneath those masks I crave someone I can never have, a relationship that goes against God’s law, and the freedom to live the way I want.
After years of shoving my feelings down, I’ve finally gotten to a place where I don't even consider them any longer.
Until the night he showed up and ruined everything.
My stepbrother, Leo Caparucci, is the opposite, a walking nightmare, a spoiled, self-centered, openly bisexual mafia prince who couldn’t care less about others, and he just became my biggest problem...
Leo
I shouldn’t even be here.
The plan was always for me to be named the next Don of my family, but somehow I ended up on my dad’s cattle ranch in the middle of nowhere, stuck with my bratty stepbrother.
Carter Montagna is hot as hell, smart and self-confident…well, at least that’s the image he tries to project, but I see right through his perfect cowboy persona. Underneath the façade there’s a man starved for affection, too concerned with pleasing others to act on his own desires.
But there’s more beneath the surface, and if anyone is gonna crack that mask he's wearing—it's gonna be me.
Hi, I’m Cali!
I live in a very sunny state with my amazing husband and daughters, and I enjoy making people smile. I try to bring a little bit of my Cali sunshine and energy wherever I go. I believe that love is for everyone and I've found my newest passion in writing. I absolutely love writing - I'm having so much fun! Other hobbies include watching Anime, reading Manga, baking, and I’m an avid gamer in all forms: console, tabletop, strategy card games…Magic the Gathering is probably my favorite strategy card game. Console wise - I couldn't begin to choose a favorite :)
Me and my bestie, who is also my editor and Co-Owner of the publishing house, have a super fun Podcast called "Cali and Craig Talk..." We're usually talking about books, butts, or bundt cakes... We don't take things too seriously. We have a ton of episodes with other authors, and lots of great advice for new writers, along with inside looks at what it's like at the publishing house. We have a bunch of fun baking episodes, too. You can hear us on all major podcast networks.
