Release Blitz: Intercepted by Aletha Romig

INTERCEPTED 
Aleatha Romig 
Release Date: February 2 
AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED
In The Coopers, family power meets forbidden passion, and one wrong move can cost you the team… or your heart. Perfect for fans of the ruthless tension of Succession and the dark, aching obsession of Wuthering Heights.

At thirty-six, Fin Graham is a legend, a veteran quarterback, dangerously handsome, and built to win. The field. The season. Me.
I never thought I’d see him again, not after he disappeared and shattered me without a word. But now he’s been traded onto my family’s team, the Lexington Coopers—my turf, my legacy, and the one place I swore he’d never touch.

No one knows our past.
No one knows how hard I loved him… or how deep the betrayal cut.
And if I have any sway with the team’s owner—my father—Fin’s contract will be the shortest in franchise history.
But the problem with old heartbreaks?
They remember how to start beating again.
Fin wants a second chance.
I want revenge… or maybe I just want him.
And the time clock is almost out.
With the future of the Lexington Coopers on the line, we have to decide if we’re working together or against one another.

From the bestselling author of Infidelity and Sin comes a scorching, high-stakes romantic suspense series set in the seductive, cutthroat world of the NFL. The Coopers is a four-book saga following one explosive couple. INTERCEPTED ends on a cliffhanger—an unforgettable Aleatha blindside. 
This was a 4.5-star read for me, and honestly, my only real mistake was not reading the disclaimer first. I went in thinking this might lean closer to Aleatha Romig’s lighter books… and wow, was I wrong—in the best and most emotionally devastating way.

As I hit around 90%, I remember thinking, This feels oddly abrupt for an Aleatha ending. And then—of course—came her signature move: a cliffhanger so cruel it should come with a warning label. Absolute torture. I should have known better.

The story itself is addictive. The tension between Vee and Fin is everything—layered with history, heartbreak, power, and unresolved betrayal. Fin Graham is the ultimate tortured, larger-than-life NFL quarterback, and Vee is strong, guarded, and impossible not to root for. Their chemistry simmers, aches, and explodes in all the right ways.

That said, I don’t trust Vee’s uncle at all, and cousin Grant is giving me serious side-eye. Knowing Aleatha, I’m probably completely wrong—and that just makes me more excited (and nervous) for what’s coming next.

Intercepted is high-stakes romantic suspense done right: emotionally charged, seductive, and ruthless. If you love powerful families, second-chance romance, and stories that end by ripping the rug out from under you, this is absolutely for you. Just don’t make my mistake—know going in that this is book one of four… and the cliffhanger is brutal.

Bring on book two. 


Deception. Heartbreak. Second-chance. Sports. Strong FMC and tortured, gorgeous MMC. What more could a romance reader junkie ask for? 

Vee and Fin have such amazing chemistry even when Vee tries to cover her hurt with denial of their past. She is guarded (even in the flashbacks of her past that are slowly revealed throughout this book) and, as her friend states, a commitment-phobe woman (when you read about her history, you will understand why). And Fin. Man! He has such a cocky, tough exterior that he shows the world because deep within, he is a tortured man that you just can't help falling for. But he has eyes for only one woman: Vee. And, of course, being a fabulous NFL player doesn't hurt him much. *wink wink*

Now, aside from the back-and-forth, second chance slowly unfolding romance story, you have side/supporting characters that you will love and a few you will hate, and some you will question the motives of. And in true Aleatha Romig fashion, we are left with the holy freaking, are you kidding me, oh-no-she-didn't cliffhanger that will leave you craving the next part like yesterday! You HAVE to one-click this one so I am not the only one left biting their nails. 

I have. But have YOU been Aleatha'd?

Book Blitz and Giveaway: The Rewrite by Beth Rinyu

The Rewrite
Beth Rinyu
Publication date: January 29th 2026
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance

How long would you hold a grudge?

If you’re Eloise Hendrickson, the answer is twenty-five years. After being humiliated by her overseas pen pal in seventh grade, Eloise, now a successful writer, has never quite let go of that one mortifying moment. One bad breakup, a late night of drunken internet sleuthing, and a half-baked excuse to bust through writer’s block send her straight into the path of the boy she’s hated her whole life.

Her plan? Turn him into the villain of her next novel.
The plot twist? He’s not the jerk she remembers.

Instead, he’s a charming chocolatier, a devoted family man, and awkwardly, a huge fan of her books. But as Eloise reconnects with the past, it’s not him who captures her attention, it’s someone else entirely. Someone unexpected. He’s rude, infuriating, and gets under her skin like no one else. He’s the exact opposite of the heroes she creates and the men she dates.

With new friends, a fresh perspective, and possibly the beginnings of something romantic—Eloise must decide if she’s finally ready to let go of the perfection she’s always demanded from herself as well as everyone around her, and embrace the unpredictable, wonderfully flawed life waiting for her. Maybe her next bestseller won’t be about righting the past after all. Maybe it will be about rewriting the future instead.

Warning: This book may contain chocolate and possibly a happily ever after.

Goodreads / Amazon

“Okay, so if booty calls are off the table. What about a friendship? Seeing he’s such a decent guy? You’re a lonely woman in a strange country. He’s an available strapping man. Maybe it would be nice to have someone just to hang out with. I mean… not someone like you and me someone. Let’s face it, I’m irreplaceable.”

“No,” I cut in. “Like I said, he’s nice. For someone else. Whether it’s sex or friendship, I’m not interested. And for the record, I’m not lonely.”

“Yes, yes, how could I forget, your social circle now includes preteens and senior citizens.”

“I happen to like my new friends, both young and old.”

“Ella, honey.” Charlie gave me that look that was equal parts exasperated and concerned. “All I’m saying is, maybe this is your moment to let your hair down a little. You’re always so tightly wound, and this breakup didn’t exactly loosen the screws. Maybe it’s time to expand your horizons. Try something different. Someone different. Maybe this guy is the kind of non-Kent energy you need.”

“Okay, when did you get a PHD in Psychology?” I snapped.

“Reading radar maps and reading the human psyche are kind of the same thing. Both are temperamental and can change in a heartbeat,” he teased.

“Charlie, I love and appreciate you, but stick to doing the weather. You’re much better at that!”

“One last question, and then I promise I’ll ixnay the subject.” “What?” I didn’t even try to hide my annoyance.

“Do you call him Mr. Moreau or Grace’s daddy?”

“Goodbye, Charlie!” I blew him a kiss and disconnected our call.

I've always had a passion for Creative Writing. There's something special about being able to travel to a different place or become a different person with just the stroke of a pen—or in today's world, a tap of the keyboard. Maybe it all started with the soap opera-level drama I used to script for my Barbie dolls. Plot twists, emotional arcs, surprise twins... it was basically a writer’s room before I even knew what one was. Whatever the spark, storytelling quickly became my favorite creative outlet. I craft stories that keep me on my toes and constantly push me beyond my comfort zone. Deep characters you either root for or love to hate are the ones I’m most drawn to.

Exploring new places helps me uncover fresh and exciting settings for my books, but there’s nothing quite like a quiet walk in the woods or sitting by the ocean close to home. Turns out, plot twists and inspiration arrive just as easily with a sea breeze—or a few curious squirrels.

Pre-order TODAY!
I spent my life mending fractured minds. Yet he was undoing mine,slowly, thorn by deliberate thorn. 
I knew Greece was a mistake. But how do you resist the ghosts that have whispered your name for years, patient and unrelenting? 
I never intended to step onto a battlefield of broken hearts and broken minds, yet there I stood, entangled in a silent triangle where every truth was a weapon and every silence a wound. 
Each choice I made drew blood. 
I was caught in the thorns of war, bound by invisible threads that kept those I loved forever just beyond my reach. The more I resisted, the deeper they cut. The harder I pulled, the more fate tightened its grip. 
I began this story believing restraint was virtue, that love was mercy. I was wrong. Morality, I learned, is a luxury afforded only to those untouched by desire. 
And Violet Freud was no Jane Eyre. 
My conscience answered only to those I loved. And when this war ended, I would not emerge unscathed, but I would emerge victorious.

FORCEFUL GOD by Michelle Heard is NOW LIVE!
Make sure to grab this all-new opposites attract mafia romance TODAY!
From USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Michelle Heard comes a new STANDALONE, full-length MAFIA ROMANCE novel.

I was born into the Cosa Nostra, so I should be used to the blood, violence, and constant threat of death, right?

Wrong. 

Every time one of the men I love gets hurt, another piece of me fractures beyond repair. But the moment I see the man who owns my heart fall, it annihilates me.

The fear of losing Christiano forces me to the edge of my sanity. I shut down and push him as far away as possible, convinced distance is the only way to keep myself from unraveling. Christiano is as cold and merciless as his father, raised to rule the Cosa Nostra with an iron fist. Obsession runs just as deep as power in his bloodline, so no matter what I say, he won't let me go.

Refusing to marry him doesn't drive him away. It changes him, making him an unforgiving and ruthless man who will use force to keep me exactly where he wants me. I hide my weakness behind lies, but they only seem to feed the darkness in him. Like the predator he is, he watches me, waits for me, corners me. Every explosive encounter strips away my resolve until there's almost nothing left.

The threat of the five families being torn apart is the only thing that finally makes me give in to his advances, but as I say my vows to Christiano, I know it's only a matter of time before he realizes I'm not the perfect mafia princess he thinks I am. 

What will happen when the capo dei capi discovers I'm too fragile to be his Cosa Nostra queen?
Michelle Heard is a Wall Street Journal, and USA Today Bestselling Author who loves creating stories her readers can get lost in. She resides in South Africa with her son where she's always planning her next book to write, and trip to take.

It started with a message from a stranger.
Or so I thought.

And somehow, it felt safer not knowing.

He comes to me under the cover of darkness, pulling me deeper into this forbidden game.
