BLURB

She’s counting down the days until she leaves Tuscany. He’s counting on making her stay.

Some people go to Tuscany to find themselves.

I went to escape—New York, my ex’s new relationship, and a career that derailed the moment I was passed over for partner.

My plan was simple: settle my eccentric Italian grandmother’s estate, sell whatever wasn’t nailed down, and return to the life I’d worked too hard to lose.

Instead, I walked into a mess—a crumbling antique shop, two hundred acres of leased vineyard land, and one infuriating clause in the will: Live and work in the shop for three months, or inherit nothing.

Then there’s the neighbor I clash with instantly. Matteo Lucchese is the infuriatingly handsome winemaker who leases my family’s land and refuses to be impressed by my credentials—or my attitude. He’s rugged and stubborn, stuck living in a time that has long passed us by, and the word rush isn’t part of his vocabulary. Basically, we’re exact opposites.

But as the days stretch into weeks, Tuscany chips away at the armor I didn’t realize I was wearing, and Matteo shows me the appeal of slowing down, of staying rooted, of wanting something other than climbing the corporate ladder.

I came to Tuscany to escape.

But now that the countdown to going home was on, I wasn’t sure if I was ready to leave. And the life I was falling for came with a looming expiration date.

Release Blitz and Review: Secrets and Lies by Willow Dixon

Release Blitz SECRETS & LIES by Willow Dixon Series: Silvercrest U #5 Release Date: June 18, 2026 Genre: MM Dark College Romance Standalone Tropes: Classmates to lovers, frat brothers, Bi Awakening, anonymous texting, masks, sensualism and sensory play, mild bondage, D/s vibes, caretaking, Hurt/Comfort, found family, a protective MC, morally ambiguous heroes, not-so-secret societies, and lots of spicy times Cover Design: Lori Jackson Design Photography: Michelle Lancaster Model: Josh C. Synopsis Anthony Three years ago, I hooked up with one of my frat brothers during a house challenge, and between the darkness and the masks we were wearing, I had no idea it was West until after it was over. And what was supposed to be nothing more than a chance to have a little fun and indulge in some of my darker desires ends up being so much more. I don't understand the pull between us, but West feels like mine, and even though he does his best to hide it, I know he wants me too. After accidentally catching his fiancée cheating on him, I send West an anonymous text asking if he wants to know the truth. That text sparks a conversation, then another, and before I know it, West is telling me his deepest, darkest secrets, even though he has no idea who I am. Then he issues me a challenge I can't resist, and my prize is I get to do whatever I want to him. I already know West is into the same things I am, but I had no idea just how compatible we really are. Or how much we both like it when I wear a mask. At the same time all of this is going on, West and I are paired up to work on a project together, and it's then I realize that what I feel for him goes beyond anything I ever thought possible. I don't just want him, I need him. And now that I've claimed him, I'm never letting him go. West is mine until I decide he isn't, and I dare anyone to try and come between us because I promise it won't end well for them.

It's kind of like being the new kid in school and being asked to tell everyone a bit about yourself. Anyone else forget everything they've ever liked, thought of, and even their name in those moments? A few facts about me; I'm a veteran, I'm Canadian, and I love books! I've been writing my own stories since I was eight and wrote my first novel at sixteen. I'm the first to admit those attempts weren't my best work, but they started me on a journey of creating stories that has led me to fulfilling my dream of becoming an author. I've written and published in several genres under different names, but MM is by far my favorite, and I'm so happy to be able to share my stories with people today. I currently live on Canada's east coast with my kiddo and my cats. I have a shoe collecting addiction, and I enjoy taking long walks, discussions with friends, and reading anything and everything I can get my hands on.

Every time I think I found a favorite in this series, I'm proven wrong. Secrets and Lies was amazing, and it had me hooked from the very beginning. This book focuses on other characters outside of the cousins from the first few books, and I was here for it. Wonderfully written characters, a story that pulls you in from page one, and an arch that has you gasping, laughing, shaking your head, and biting your nails. You need this book in your life. But in my honest opinion, you need all of the books in this series if you like edgier and darker. 5 stars!

https://geni.us/ZAcYc 

 

From USA Today Best Selling author Mary Catherine Gebhard comes a brand new dark romcom about a girl who makes a dating profile to live out all of her spicy, bookish fantasies.

He was all my twisted, dark book boyfriend fantasies come to life. Masked. Tattooed. Dirty talking—and totally unhinged.

Morally grey? Check.

Stalker? Check.

A very illegal, very bloody hobby? Check.

Possessive, obsessive, and calls me a good girl? Check. Check. Check.

I should probably call the police.

I definitely shouldn’t take dirty selfies because I know he hacked my phone.

But what’s a girl to do?

It’s my very own stalker romance.

 

I started writing the moment I could read. My first characters were Wibbley and Squig and I used MS Word and clipart to bring them to life when I was a kid in elementary school. I started seriously thinking about being a writer in High School and I remember the day exactly, because it was such an epiphany. I was always so uncertain. You know how everyone was always asking what you wanted to be when you were older? Well I NEVER could decide.

I wanted to be a marine biologist.

An actor.

A FIRE FIGHTER (thank you Joaquin Phoenix in Ladder 49 for that phase).

One day it hit me—A WRITER. I could do it ALL. Then you couldn’t stop me from writing. I penned my first novel at fifteen (but don’t ask me to show it to you, because it’s like I was in competition to beat the thesaurus). When I was diagnosed with a chronic illness, writing became even more important, because it became my therapy. When I wrote my characters, suddenly I wasn’t so alone.

These days you can find me daydreaming about where to travel with my husband, singing in my car, or lost in the newest K drama. And planning my next novel, of course

He’s always smiling, always happy — excited about life in a way I truly cannot comprehend. A spoiled city guy who acts like he’s never heard the word no before. I can’t believe I drunkenly married him in Vegas. Or that he showed up at my farmhouse, ready to give up his whole life to play happy husbands with me in the middle of nowhere. Chad might have convinced himself we’re meant to be, but I gave up on that kind of future a long time ago. Chad I’ve always believed things work out for me — and getting my husband to admit he wants me is no exception. John Sullivan might be grumpy, closed-off, and determined to pretend this means nothing, but he still chose me. He married me. He said I do, and I’m not ready to let that go just because he’s pretending he is. He can say there’s no way we can work, but I’m stubborn enough to stay and keep proving him wrong. A grumpy/sunshine MM romance about a woke-up-married couple navigating life after loss, small-town living, and the kind of heat that burns slowest when you’re trying your hardest to resist it. *** Please note that this is a standalone spinoff of their Love Without Labels series and that it does not take place on the reality show.

Release Blitz: Rising Waters by Aleatha Romig

RISING WATERS

Aleatha Romig

Release Date June 15

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

A dark atmospheric psychological thriller packed with small-town secrets, buried trauma, and shocking twists.

She escaped her past—and the man she never forgot.

Now with two girls gone missing, she's pulled back into a deadly game she may not survive.

Jillian Thorne built her career making the unreal feel real.

On Hollywood soundstages, she stages murder, kidnapping, and violent crime with chilling authenticity—turning fiction into gripping entertainment.

But nothing she’s created compares to the truth waiting in Blue Gil.

Nearly six years after escaping her small hometown, Jillian is drawn back by the suspicious death of the town’s beloved high school football coach. What first appears to be a tragic loss quickly unravels into something far more sinister—a dark mystery no one is willing to confront.

Because in Blue Gil, secrets aren’t just buried… they’re protected.

As disturbing clues surface and a brutal tragedy strikes dangerously close to home, Jillian finds herself trapped inside a real-life psychological thriller. The instincts that made her successful in Hollywood may be the key to solving the crime—or the very thing clouding her judgment.

Everyone in this small town is hiding something.

Including Jillian.

To uncover the truth, she must break through an unspoken code of silence, deception, and loyalty—and face the past she thought she left behind. Because some secrets refuse to stay buried.

And in this twisted game of suspense, trusting the wrong person could be deadly.

Have you been Aleatha’d?

*Perfect for fans of Sharp Objects, All Good People Here, and The Last House Guest, Rising Waters is a dark and addictive psychological thriller filled with buried secrets, small-town corruption, twisted family loyalties, and devastating betrayals.

This is a complete 80K stand-alone psychological thriller with a STEM FMC who needs to learn secrets before it’s too late. The only connection to Aleatha’s FEAR OF FLAMES is that our favorite podcasters from Crime Daily Podcast are back, showing the readers another perspective.

*You do not need to read Crime Daily Podcast book one, FEAR OF FLAMES before RISING WATERS.

5 Stars!

Rising Waters is one story that sticks with you. Your emotions and senses are fully engaged in this psychological thriller.

Returning to her small hometown she hasn't set foot in in over six years isn't easy for our mfc. Neither is being the only one (perceived only one) to question the death that brought her home, or the mysterious disappearances that occur.

The truth in revealed slowly, hidden secrets come to the surface, and her perseverance will pay off. This isn't my usual Aleatha story, but man! I absolutely loved reading this one!

Jillian hasn't been back to Blue Gill in six years. Returning in search of answers, she quickly finds herself caught up in a web of mystery, secrets, and scandal. It's clear that something isn't right in Blue Gill—and the deeper she digs, the more dangerous things become.

I honestly couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Aleatha Romig does a fantastic job building suspense and keeping readers guessing. I had a theory about one of the twists and was thrilled to discover I was right, but the other major reveal? I never saw it coming.

With intriguing characters, plenty of tension, and unexpected twists, Rising Waters kept me hooked from beginning to end. If you enjoy mystery, suspense, and small-town secrets, definitely pick this one up if you get the opportunity.
