 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.

Release Blitz: The Challenge by Penelope Ward

Title: The Challenge
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Single Dad, Second Chance, Forced Proximity
Friends to Lovers, Small Town, Found Family
Release Date: August 30, 2026
From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE contemporary romance…

Nothing says welcome home like accidentally moving in with your first heartbreak…and his little girl.

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings.

Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay.

Evan—the guy my parents took in years ago after his mother died.
The same Evan who used to dare me into ridiculous challenges that somehow always made me stronger—a game we’d dubbed The Challenge.
The same guy who ultimately rejected me before I left for college after I’d finally garnered the courage to shoot my shot.

Now Evan was a rugged single dad with an eight-year-old daughter, a cocky attitude, and a dangerous ability to make me forget every reason I should still hate him.

Sharing a house with him should’ve been unbearable. Instead, it felt dangerously familiar, nearly making me forget that I had a life and a job to get back to in Chicago. I realized the biggest challenge wasn’t surviving living with Evan Ricci.

It was not falling in love with him all over again.

Special release price of $3.99
for a limited time only!

Release Blitz: Under the Albanian Sun by Eve Winners

UNDER THE ALBANIAN SUN BY EVA WINNERS
Release date: May 1st
Genre/Tropes: Mafia Romance / Second Chance for MMC & FMC / Summer Fling / Touch her and die

UNDER THE ALBANIAN SUN by Eva Winners is NOW LIVE!!
Make sure to grab this all-new second chance mafia romance TODAY!

READ TODAY!

On the run from the mafia, I fled across the ocean, clinging to the hope that distance could save me. 
Instead, I stepped straight into the domain of a man whose power was whispered about more than spoken aloud—a man whose reach stretched further than the shadows I thought I’d escaped. 
He was the one who made me an offer as tempting as it was terrifying. He promised to erase the threat stalking me, to restore the life I’d lost—but only if I gave him something in return: me. 
The terms were simple. A summer in his world, day and night at his side. When I refused, his response was ice-cold: he’d deal with the person who ruined my life, with or without my permission. 
Desperate to prevent more bloodshed, I agreed—but not without drawing a line. I told him I would never share his bed. 
Now all I have to do is survive the summer with Kian Cortes under the scorching Albanian Sun and resist the slow-burning pull between us that might destroy us both.

Release Blitz: Forgive Me First by Colbie Kay

Forgive Me First by Colbie Kay
Series: Ever Rose
Cover Designer: Clarise Tan with CT Cover Creations
(available in KU)

Ever Rose is a small town that holds many dark secrets that lay hidden in the shadows.

BRAYDON

My eighteenth birthday was the night everything ended. Under a full moon, truths were exposed, lies were unraveled, and I ran. I left behind the only home I’d ever known and the girl I loved—now forbidden to me. I swore I’d never return to Ever Rose, convinced the past was better left buried.

Eight years later, my father is dying, and I’m the only one who can save him. I came back with a plan: do what needs to be done and leave for good. Then I saw her. Kyler Ridge—the girl I never stopped loving. Staying away is one of the most difficult things I can do, but I have to do it for her sake. Especially when she has no idea how much danger she’s in.

KYLER

The last time I saw Braydon James, I thought he was dying. Then he disappeared without a word, leaving me shattered. I picked up the pieces and put myself back together because I had no other choice.

Eight years later, he returns like a ghost in the night. I know I should stay away, but I keep getting pulled toward him. I want answers he refuses to give. How can I forgive him when I don’t know the truth? And am I ready to uncover why he really left—and the dark secrets Ever Rose has been hiding all along?
(available in KU)

Release Blitz: Sunshine and Sinners by R.C. Stephens

Sunshine and Sins by R.C. Stephens is now live!
Some people are made of light.
Others are made of shadows.

I have always been both sunshine and sin, and I was never meant to outrun the darkness I was born into.
I didn't return to Val-Du-Lys because it was safe. I came back because it was the only place my heart still recognized, a quiet town holding memories I never learned how to leave behind.
Small towns don't forget. Not the past. Not secrets. And not the boy I loved before I understood how dangerous love could be.
Eric Thorne.
We were never supposed to exist in the same world. The police director's son and the daughter of a man everyone feared. What began in secret turned into scandal, and I learned quickly that loving him meant putting him in danger.
So I left the moment high school ended, believing distance was the only way to protect him from the life my father was pulling me into.
Years later, I'm back.
As encrypted messages begin appearing again, ones only someone from my past should know, and I realize someone is watching my every move, Eric is the one who steps closer, steady and unshaken, even when I try to push him away.
The history between us still aches.
The love never faded.
In a town where shadows return without warning, he reaches for me anyway.
This time, choosing him might expose everything I ran from, but loving him has never felt more worth the risk.

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.
