Choose your retailer
About the book
Allegra Agosti is dead.
She died five years ago, while her husband watched.
But now she’s back.
Alive, unrecognizable, and colder than the girl she used to be. The girl who loved too deeply. Trusted too fully. Broke too easily.
And Enzo Agosti… He is not the man she remembers.
His reputation precedes him. Beautiful. Lethal. Amoral. As do his conquests: every week he has a new stunning model on his arm.
So why, then, when he sees Allegra again, he looks at her like she is the answer to all his prayers?
Their marriage was once tragic obsession dressed as love. Now it’s longing sharpened into a weapon.
And no matter how much time passes, some things never change:
Allegra is the only person Enzo has ever loved.
But Enzo is the one person Allegra has vowed to kill.
Revenge is a dish best served cold. But every time Allegra and Enzo come together, they burn hotter than ever.
They circle each other with old hunger and new wounds—too angry to forgive, too bound to let go.
Yet only one outcome is possible: either she kills him first, or he teaches her how to love him again.

The deities here are called gods... and they play deadly games for amusement while they rule on their cold thrones.
If I lose the game, I die.
If I win, I could go home.
Even if my kidnapper, the Game Hunter, is sneaking into my heart and setting it aflame.
A Flame of Dragons and Gods is the fourth book in The Lost Fae Riders Series. This is a full-length fantasy, dragon-rider romance with an enemy who might become a lover, found family, the best romance tropes, and a main character who loves reading almost as much as you.

About the book

But is war ever truly won without sacrifice?
In this final installment of the Power & Promise Series, Ainsley must face the truth that even the greatest victories demand a price.

Some summers change everything, even when you promise yourself they will not.
Love Song
Romance · College Romance · New Adult · Sports Romance
Our take
Some summers change everything, even when you promise yourself they will not. After a painful breakup, Blake Logan retreats to her family’s lake house and vows to avoid complications, only to reunite with Wyatt Graham, the older musician who once broke her heart. Love Song is a second-chance campus romance shaped by lingering tension, missed timing, and love tested by loss.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A Briar universe standalone romance featuring the next generation Off-Campus characters—where one unforgettable summer changes everything.
After a brutal breakup, college junior Blake Logan escapes to her family’s lake house in Tahoe, determined to shut out the world. Her plan is simple: no men, no drama. Until Wyatt Graham shows up. Four years older and far too good at getting under her skin, Wyatt is the living embodiment of a “bad idea,” and the guy who shattered her pride when she confessed her crush at sixteen.
With his music career stalled, Wyatt has come to Tahoe for inspiration. The last thing he expects is to find it with Blake. He’s spent years keeping his distance, convinced he’s all wrong for her, but she’s no longer the innocent girl he once knew. She’s confident, captivating, and impossible to ignore. And the slow-burning tension between them? It’s catching fire fast.
They both know this can’t last, but one reckless kiss turns into another, and soon they’re tangled in something that feels dangerously like more. Just as they finally give in to the pull, tragedy tears them apart, leaving their hearts in pieces.
But forgetting that one, nearly perfect summer? Not a chance. And when fate brings them together again, Blake and Wyatt must decide if this is a second chance…or the final verse.

Romance · Contemporary Romance · RomCom
Our take
Starting over in a small town was never part of her five-year plan. After her career implodes, literary agent Zoey Moody lands in rural Pennsylvania determined to rebuild, only to clash with her steady, marriage-minded landlord. When one reckless night shifts their fragile truce, Mistakes Were Made becomes a romantic comedy about second chances, mismatched goals, and the risks of wanting more than you planned.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A Gilmore Girls meets Schitt’s Creek redemption romcom.
He’s looking for the perfect wife. She’s looking for the perfect one-night stand.
Literary agent Zoey Moody has been exiled from the Manhattan publishing scene to small-town Pennsylvania with her best friend and only remaining client, romance novelist Hazel Hart. Zoey’s bank account is running on fumes, forcing her to liquidate her designer wardrobe to make ends meet.
But this plucky heroine has a plan to climb her way back on top. Nothing will stand in her way.
Okay. Nothing except her six-foot-two-inch blue-collar landlord, Gage Bishop. He’s smart, serious, and sexy. When he isn’t practicing law, he’s working with his equally attractive brothers in the family construction business. Worst of all, he’s ready to settle down.
Zoey might be the most beautiful, infuriating woman Gage has ever met, but her special brand of chaos makes it clear they’re all wrong for each other. She’s allergic to commitment and afraid of animals. He’s looking for a wife and lives in a literal barn. (For clarification, it’s a converted barn. But he does live there with a golden retriever who doesn’t understand the concept of personal space.)
These opposites can attract all they want. They both know it will never work out. For one, even if she wanted to, Zoey could never give him what he wants.
But when Gage’s world is rocked by a devastating family secret, he turns to Zoey for one night to forget everything. That one night just might change everything…or ruin it. Yeah. That’s more likely.

Our take
In a league that doubts her every move, a new team owner cannot afford to lose control.

Choose your retailer
About the book
As the first female team owner in Major League Baseball, Reese Remington has spent her entire life preparing for this role. With a sharp mind and years of experience working behind the scenes, she’s more than qualified. But the public only sees a woman in a man’s world—not the person who’s earned their place on the field. Under constant scrutiny and pressure to prove herself, Reese can’t afford distractions.
Especially one that comes in the form of the team’s tempting field manager who questions her every decision.
Emmett Montgomery is a former All-Star turned coach who treats his players like family and the field like home. After years of running the team his way, the last thing he wants is a new boss, let alone one who seems ice-cold and laser-focused on business. But forced to spend long hours—and too many away games—side by side, he begins to see the fire beneath Reese’s control, the heart behind her ambition, and the unwavering determination to prove herself.
When heated banter turns into sizzling chemistry, professional boundaries blur and the spark between them becomes impossible to resist. But Reese is constantly reminded of how many people are waiting for her to fail, and the safest move is to keep Emmett at arm’s length—for the sake of the team, the season, and her career.
But keeping their distance is one game neither of them can seem to win.

I hate that woman.
Tyler Neumann has spent years looking for his father, and not because he wants to meet the man. No, he wants to destroy him. And he’ll manipulate whoever he can to exact his revenge.
Including Stella McCormick. She’s everything Tyler hates. Her wealth and privilege have protected her for her entire life, and Tyler thinks it's time she finally paid the price. Whether she’s ready to or not.
I hate that man.
Stella might not believe in love at first sight, but loathing at first sight—no question. From the moment she sets eyes on Tyler in her tattoo parlor, she knows he’s the devil planning to make her life hell.
Forced to play the part of his girlfriend and invite him into her family’s glittering circles, Stella quickly clocks Tyler’s ulterior motives. But love and hate are two sides of the same coin, and soon she doesn’t know which is worse: being blackmailed by a man who wants to ruin her, or that they can’t seem to keep their hands off each other.
This is an enemies-to-lovers dark romance with morally grey characters. Some themes and scenes may be disturbing to readers. Please check the content warning at the beginning of the book.
