I was born into Bratva royalty, but that never made me a princess. My entire life I’ve been mocked and ignored, and the only place I’ve ever felt like myself was at the theater, with a needle in my hand and beautiful fabrics around me.

That’s where I met him.

A stranger with a missing button, clear blue eyes, and a voice that made the world feel less cruel for one stolen night.

We only exchanged our first names and talked the night away over warm coffees and pastries before my life came crashing down around me.

Years later, my grandfather is dead, the Bratva is at war, and I’m imprisoned because of my family. I’m broken, bruised, and forgotten until the new pakhan comes to inspect his prisoners.

Rodian Volkov.

The man I never forgot. Only now, he isn’t a stranger with gentle hands and friendly eyes.

He’s become savage just like the rest of the men who bend the knee to him.

He’s now the monster I fear.

When he tells the Bratva he’s marrying me to bring peace, I’m too terrified to argue.

Because saying no to the pakhan is never an option.

Excerpt Reveal: The Fall Affair by Vi Keeland

Title: The Fall Affair
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Opposites Attract/Found Family
Release Date: August 18, 2026

Take a sneak peek of THE FALL AFFAIR.
You know you want to...

Allegra: I think you’re pretty amazing. I’m going to bed smiling on the eve of what might turn out to be one of the worst days of my life. Thank you for coming here with me.

The reply came almost instantly.

Matteo: I think you’re pretty amazing, too. And I love your smile.

That made my already-big grin grow wider. Rather than text back, I decided to take a selfie of me beaming to show him I wasn’t kidding. I held my phone out, tilted it down for a good angle, and snapped a photo of me lying in bed. Only when I checked the picture, I realized the camera had caught a lot more than I’d intended. Yes, I was smiling, but I was also wearing a black slip nightgown, the top of which was lace and showed a lot of cleavage. I hadn’t been going for sexy, but damn, it was.

I bit my lip, debating whether I should take another. Then the wine, or maybe the adrenaline, pushed me. Screw it. Send.

My heart raced as I watched the status go from Delivered to Read. The dots on the screen started to bounce around, then stopped and started twice before an incoming text arrived.

Matteo: You’re gorgeous. And that photo just made its way into my private folder.

A shiver ran down my spine.

Allegra: And what exactly are the photos in your private folder used for?

Matteo: I think you know the answer to that.

My thighs pressed together thinking of Matteo pleasuring himself to my picture. I hadn’t intended this conversation to go this way, but now that it had…

Allegra: I think it’s only fair that I have a picture for my private folder, then.

This time a response didn’t come right away. After a minute or two, I thought maybe I’d taken things too far. But then my phone chimed, a photo lit up my screen, and my breath caught.

Oh. My. God.

Matteo was sprawled across his bed, sheet slung low on his hips. His muscular chest was bare, and his beautiful Italian skin was golden and smooth except for the sexy happy trail that led down to where it was covered. One arm was bent behind his head, showing off the cut of his biceps, and his gaze was on me, even through the photo. And God, the sinful smirk on his lips made it impossible to look away.

After a few minutes of staring, I swallowed.

Allegra: I’m speechless, and that’s saying something. LOL. Wow. Just wow. I’m not sure I’ll be able to sleep after seeing that. I’m a little riled up.

His near-instant response left no doubt that he’d been waiting for my text.

Matteo: For the record, my door is open if you ever want to come see it in person…

I have nothing left.

One moment of weakness seven years ago, and I lost my job, my art, and my only friend. Now I’m working nights at a gas station to scrape together a living and a way to care for my sister, and I’m completely alone.

And then I see him on the front page of the newspaper, my former college student and the man who ruined my life seven years ago.

Ryan Bell.

So I carve a statue of the devil and I give the devil Bell’s face. I leave it for the world to see.

I shouldn’t have done it. I should have known he’d use the statue to hunt me, find me, offer a deal that demands my soul. He wants one year of me—all of me—and then he’ll make my problems go away.

How can I refuse? When it’s my only chance of salvation? How can I refuse even when I know Ryan Bell will leave me with a broken heart—again?

But it’s my own fault…I should have stayed hidden, I shouldn’t have revealed how the memory of him haunts me still. I was the one who spoke of the devil, after all.

I can’t be surprised that he appeared.

Release Boost: Hate Me Take Me by Laura Bishop

Hate Me Take Me by Laura Bishop is now live! 

For fans of Lights Out and You, this follow-up to Love Me Stalk Me is a dark rom-com about a woman matched with her fantasy boyfriend by an AI app--unaware he's actually her ex-husband, back to win her over in disguise.

When Amanda Bennett signs up for the beta feature of the Obsess AI boyfriend app, she thinks it's just another marketing gimmick. Go on a date with a real man who matches her digital fantasy? Spoiler: she's skeptical.

Then the app delivers. Her match is hot, brooding, motorcycle included. Perfect--except he refuses to remove his helmet, won't share his name, and somehow knows things about her no stranger should.

Because he's not a stranger. He's Kade Steele, her ex-husband. The one who disappeared. The one she's spent years trying--and failing--to forget. Now he's back and determined to win her heart. With a little romance, a little mystery, and a deeply questionable amount of stalking.

She thought she was moving on. Instead, she's falling for the one man who broke her heart...and this time, he's not letting go.

Meet Laura Bishop

Laura Bishop writes books about obsessive men, clever women, and the dangerously thin line between love and psychological warfare. She lives in sunny Florida, where the skies are blue, the humidity is high, and her search history is a federal red flag.

A military spouse and full-time wrangler of two wildly energetic boys, Laura survives on caffeine, chaos, and the occasional quiet moment when everyone's finally asleep--aka prime stalking-I-mean-writing time.

When she's not plotting morally gray love stories with unhinged fictional boyfriends, she's daydreaming about what it would be like to have a personal assistant who doesn't eat goldfish crackers for breakfast.

Love Me, Stalk Me is her debut into the world of dark romantic comedy, where every red flag is just another reason to fall harder.

Release Blitz: Small Town, Big Storm by Elisa Faber

SMALL TOWN, BIG STORM

Elise Faber

Release Date: August 10

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED


I’ve taken pucks to the face…

But nothing hits harder than hearing her call me Dad.

I return to Cedar Hollow for my father’s funeral. Not for forgiveness. Not for Poppy. And definitely not for the daughter I never knew was mine.

Poppy rebuilt her life without me—and she has every reason not to trust the man who left her behind.

But the moment I meet my little girl, everything changes. Walking away isn’t an option anymore.

They can warn her about me all they want. This time, I’m not leaving.

I’ll burn this town to the ground before I lose them again.

This is book 1 in the brand-new small town hockey romance series, Home Ice Heroes, by USA Today Bestselling Author, Elise Faber.

Grab your copy!

https://geni.us/SmallTownBigStorm


USA Today bestselling author Elise Faber writes romances with swoony, possessive heroes who fall hard and fast—and have just the right amount of heat. When she’s not writing about hockey or cheering on the Sharks, she’s playing it—her favorite date nights happen on the ice with her husband. Off the rink, you’ll usually find her soaking in the bathtub with a book or bingeing reality TV. Elise lives in Northern California with her husband and two teenage boys, and firmly believes happily-ever-afters are non-negotiable.
