The cowboy, the rancher, and a little holiday magic...

Tanner
I met the grumpiest man on the planet and I’m head over heels in lust. No joke. Oak Ridge Ranch’s new part-time vet slash ranch hand is a bear and he’s built like one too. If I were smart, I’d keep my distance.

In a twist, I’m not so smart.

But I can tell that under his hard as nails exterior, the cowboy is a gentle giant. Axel is a devoted single dad, a dedicated vet, and…I think he likes me. Or he wants me.

I can work with that.

There’s nothing wrong with a little holiday fun, is there?

Axel
I need the job at the ranch through December, then I’m out of here. I have a kid to think of and it’s time to settle old scores and build a new life.

But Tanner is making things complicated. He’s smart, intuitive, and charming, and—

Whoa! I’ve learned my lesson. This is temporary. I’m not Tanner’s cowboy.

I might be attracted to him, but I can handle it.

I hope.

Okay, fine. I may need some Christmas magic to get out of this with my heart in one piece. Wish me luck.

A Cowboy Holiday is an MM, bisexual romance featuring a single dad-cowboy-grump, a sweetheart of a rancher, and some holiday magic.
Happy sigh. Lane Hayes has done it again. This book gives you the warm fuzzies while also making you want to slap one of the characters. Sometimes they are just hard headed. LOL. I loved this story and kept smiling, but there were moments when I would cringe because I wanted to yell at them to pull their heads out of their... This one is a must read. Good story. Great characters. Just perfect for the holiday season.
Lane Hayes lives in sunny Southern California with her amazing husband, who thankfully doesn’t mind cooking, and their fabulous fox red Labrador, George, who’s pure mischief. Both provide oodles of inspiration for the low-angst, humorous books Lane loves to write.

She’s been telling stories about sexy, funny, sometimes geeky and quirky men who find love for a dozen years now and loving every minute. In her previous life, she sat at a desk and dealt with numbers, so yes…romance is much more satisfying!
Lane loves tea, travel, and chocolate…in any order. Add a book and she’s set!

Release Blitz and Giveaway: More Than My Hometown by Claire Hastings

MORE THAN MY HOMETOWN
Hayes Family #5
by Claire Hastings
Release Blitz
Release Date: January 15, 2026
Model: Draven Barcia
Genre: Small Town Romance Standalone
Tropes: Friends to lovers, second chance, marriage pact, dirty-talking hero, one that got away, inexperienced heroine and hero
It was an innocent childhood pact—if we’re not married by thirty-four, we marry each other. Made back when we were inseparable, and our thirties seemed old.

That was until life—and my harsh words—tore us apart.

Maisey wanted to see the world. I chose our sleepy hometown over her. Something I regret every day.

Now she's back.

She hasn't forgotten about our pact like I thought she had. In fact, she's looking to collect.

Except it’s not that easy. Too much time has passed since we made that pact. We aren’t the inseparable friends we once were.

Still, I can’t stop thinking about what might be. Maisey isn’t giving up that easily either.

The more time we spend together, the more she kisses me, the more I never want it to end.

But now we have to decide what’s more important—following our hearts or following our dreams.

J.H. Croix
Release Date: January 15

A swoony small-town friends-to-lovers romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix
filled with slow-burn chemistry, emotional angst, and a broody hero who falls hard.
Best friends don’t kiss… unless they’re ready to break every rule.

I’ve been half in love with Kendall Castille for years. She’s my best friend. To her, we’re just friends. To me? She’s everything.

I’ve kept my feelings buried, convinced I’m not the guy for her, or anyone. Love comes with scars, and I have too many to count. I’ve already lost enough. So I build walls, and I keep my  heart locked down.

But when I catch a glimpse of something more in her eyes, when I realize she might feel the same way, everything starts to unravel. The walls I built to protect my heart begin to crack. The pull between us grows stronger… and impossible to ignore.

Wanting her isn’t the scariest part. Losing her would be devastating.

Kendall & Jude’s emotional small-town romance is perfect for readers who love slow-burn tension, broody heroes, fierce heroines, and best friends who fall hard when everything’s on the line.

One kiss. One choice. One love worth risking everything for.

Release Blitz: Cage by Tia Louise

Cage by Tia Louise is now live!
Sometimes fate sends a sign, and sometimes it sends a bloodhound with a hot hockey player holding its leash, dragging her off you.

Owen Stone is not your usual hockey player. He’s a six-foot-two single dad with dark hair, ocean eyes, and muscles for days. He’s also a last-minute trade trying to find a home for his seven-year-old daughter, his psychic sister, and his adoring bloodhound. Naturally, my hockey-star cousin tells him to move in with us, and I’m a sucker for a good dog.

Gina Bradford hits me right in my weakness. She’s tall for a girl, with strawberry-blonde hair, bright green eyes, and a sweet smile. She’s also a champion dog groomer, judge, and owner of a pure-bred show poodle, who is also a notorious towel thief.

When my new teammate invites me to be their roommate until I find a home for my crew, I should’ve said no. I’ve survived the worst, and I’ve achieved my dream of playing in the NHL.
My focus is on winning games and taking care of my daughter, not romance.

Until our dogs start acting like fated mates whose sole purpose is to push us together. And a charity calendar forces us to work closely. And a highway accident strands us overnight in a hotel with only one room… and only one bed.

We said it was just once. We’ve both been hurt. But once is never enough.
My daughter loves her, and even my psychic sister predicted the girl of my dreams would be holding a dog.
It takes a little faith and a lot of courage, but what we’ve found is more than a cage. It’s a love that shows up, even when you’re not looking for it.

(Cage is a hockey romance with a broody single dad, an FMC obsessed with dogs/not love, roommates-to-lovers, close proximity, “just once,” chosen family, and loads of spicy fun. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup.)
