Sinful Blaze
Romance · Contemporary Romance
Our take
Sinful Blaze begins with public humiliation, impulsive revenge, and a billionaire stranger who turns one reckless kiss into a dangerous entanglement. Daphne only wants to survive an art-world event without letting her cheating ex see her break, but Pasha brings power, heat, and complications she can’t control. This bratva romance leans into revenge hookup tension, accidental pregnancy stakes, and a cliffhanger love story built for darker billionaire romance readers.

About the book
What’s worse than catching your boyfriend cheating?
Coming to work the next day and seeing him with the other woman.
I curate art for a living.
This big show was supposed to pay my bills for the next year.
Oh, and did I mention the star artist is my unfaithful ex?
So I try to put on a brave face—after all, the clientele are worth billions.
But my ex is doing everything in his power to rub it in.
Holding his new girl a little too tight.
Hanging around me a little too close.
What I did next was a teensy bit impulsive:
I grabbed the closest revenge hookup I could find...
Who just happened to be the billionaire dropping five mil at the auction.
Kissing him was bad.
The night that followed was worse (in the best way possible).
But after that, it looked like I might actually get my happily-ever-after…
Until he finds out that I'm pregnant with his baby.
SINFUL BLAZE is the first book in the Chekhov Bratva duet. Pasha and Daphne’s story continues in the second and final book, SINFUL BRIDE.

About the book
I fled my hometown seven years ago. I never planned to come back. I never planned to give up my city life for a small town. And I definitely never planned to fall for another man.
Henry
Tripp Lake, the place I love the most. Working at a cat café on Main Street gives me a chance to get some deserving cats their forever homes.
But when a blast from the past walks into my café, I’m not sure what to feel. Alex was always hot and popular in high school – and straight.
So it’s a shock when he keeps accepting my invitations to hang out. I don’t think I’m imagining the spark between us, but is Alex actually interested in me, or am I letting this straight boy break my heart?
Alex
Tripp Lake, the place I hate the most. I’m only here because of my father’s heart attack. But the second I return home, I remember all the reasons I ran away.
My parents are overbearing. This town is small and boring. And I want nothing more than to flee back to my new life in San Francisco - a life that doesn't come packed with any surprising new feelings about a guy I went to high school with.
Henry is a ray of sunshine amid this bleak journey home. But I've never been interested in a guy before. When a relaxing hike results in my first timid kiss with another man, I start questioning a lot more than just my decision to leave Tripp Lake. Is Henry worth staying in this crappy town for?
Stray Awakening is a small-town MM romance with first-time gay experiences, a sweet ray of sunshine winning over a jaded grumpy, spicy open-door scenes, and, of course, lots of cats. Go to linktr.ee/faraywrites for CWs.

A career-defining opportunity gets complicated fast when a sunshine designer is forced to win over the one client most likely to derail her plans.
The Sixty/Forty Rule
Romance · Contemporary Romance · RomCom
Our take
A career-defining opportunity gets complicated fast when a sunshine designer is forced to win over the one client most likely to derail her plans. In The Sixty/Forty Rule, Jude’s chance at a long-awaited promotion depends on Theo, a sharp-edged restaurateur who frustrates her as much as he attracts her. This workplace romance builds on grumpy-sunshine tension, professional stakes, and a slow-burn connection that refuses to stay neatly contained.

About the book
Jude Holland has slogged it for years at her commercial design firm for a chance to land a coveted job designing the city's trendiest restaurants and nightclubs. As an assistant, she's done her fair share of grunt work and covering the asses of less-than-competant lead designers, all in the name of one day joining their rank.
When a spot suddenly opens up on the firm's design team, Jude's boss makes her a deal: design Theo Jordan—the firm’s biggest client—a new, breathtaking restaurant, convince him to renew his contract with the company, and the job is hers.
If only he'd play along.
Theo is infamous for three very specific things: he's a hot-shot young chef-turned-restaurateur, a thorn-in-your-side client, and the kind of attractive that makes you wonder which kind of psychedelics the great maker was taking when he created him. Not that Jude notices. She's too busy sticking to the plan, and it helps that he's a total ass, anyway.
That is, until a steamy business trip leads to a very different deal between the two, who suddenly can't seem to keep their hands off each other. Sixty percent of the time, they’d indulge those funny, fluttering feelings that seem to manifest whenever they’re together. The rest of the time? They’d be nothing but professional.
It doesn’t take Theo long to realize that’s easier said than done. But with a restaurant launch and Jude's dream promotion on the line—not to mention a workplace rival hell-bent on ruining her career—Theo only has a handful of weeks to convince Jude to make that sixty percent full time.
The Sixty/Forty Rule is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers workplace romance between a sunshine commercial designer and her grumpy client. It has a healthy dose of spice and a happily ever after. It is the first book in the Sunset Landing series of standalone reads.

Things I Overshared
Romance · Contemporary Romance · RomCom
Our take
A woman who has always been told she is too much ends up trapped in close quarters with the one man who seems least likely to appreciate her. In Things I Overshared, Samantha’s dream work trip to Europe becomes an emotional minefield when her bright, unfiltered energy collides with Emerson’s reserve and control. This romantic comedy leans into grumpy-sunshine tension, slow-burn attraction, and the vulnerability of wanting to be loved without becoming less yourself.

About the book
If you've ever been told you're too much...
Samantha Canton feels your pain. She knows she is, well, a lot. It's been a rough year, to put it mildly, so she is overjoyed to find out she gets to go on her dream work trip to Europe. But she’s not going alone. She’ll be crossing the pond with the company’s CFO, Emerson Clark.
Icy Emerson, as the industry calls him, is logical, serious and quiet. He likes solitude, the color gray, rain and hot tea - he is British, after all.
And he cannot stand Samantha in all her extra, southern, chatty, upbeat, neon-dress-wearing glory.
No problem, she’s never met someone she couldn’t befriend.
Until Now.
Commence nervous verbal diarrhea.
And commence the ultimate Grumpy/Sunshine, Billionaire, Enemies to Lovers, Slow Burn Boss Romance with rich characters and a payoff that will leave you absolutely giddy.
**This is a steamy, full-length standalone adult contemporary romance. Prepare for Manhattan, London, Paris, surprise twists, laugh-out-loud banter, a happily ever after, and a sisters group text thread you’ll wish you could join. This is the second Heartlanders book but can be read on its own.**

Planes, Trains, and All the Feels
Romance · Contemporary Romance · RomCom
Our take
A cross-country trip with the last person she wants beside her becomes something much harder to manage when irritation gives way to real emotional exposure. In Planes, Trains, and All the Feels, Cassidy races home for her sister’s wedding while sharing a rental car with Luke, a man whose rigid calm clashes with everything in her.

About the book
Fans of Christina Lauren and Tessa Bailey will adore this witty and unforgettable rom-com about skyways, highways, and all the perfectly wrong ways to fall in love.
As the black sheep of the family, choreographer Cassidy Bliss vowed she’d do anything to get home in time to help with her sister’s wedding and avoid family disappointment…again. She just never expected “anything” would involve sharing the last rental car with the jerk who cut her off in line at the airport this morning. But horrible times apparently call for here-goes-nothing measures.
Driving across the country with Luke “life can be solved with a spreadsheet” Carlisle must be a penance for some crime she committed. Because the second he opens his mouth, it’s all she can do to not maim him with her carry-on. But somewhere between his surprisingly thoughtful snack sharing and his uncanny ability to see straight to the core of her, her feelings go unchecked.
Suddenly, their crackling chemistry is just one more thing they have to navigate—and it couldn’t come at a worse time. But after a lifetime of letting the expectations and needs of others drive her life, Cassidy must decide if she’s ready to take the wheel once and for all.

What starts as harmless pretending becomes much harder to contain once real feelings begin to surface.
Not Pretending Anymore
Romance · Contemporary Romance
Our take
What starts as harmless pretending becomes much harder to contain once real feelings begin to surface. In Not Pretending Anymore, a woman takes in a charming roommate, builds an easy friendship with him, and agrees to fake a relationship that quickly starts to blur into something real. This is a contemporary romance with best-friends energy, forced proximity, and the ache of realizing the person who feels safest might also be the one who matters most.

About the book
From New York Times bestselling authors, Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland, comes a new standalone novel.
Finding a good roommate through a classified ad isn’t as easy as it sounds.
I was starting to lose hope.
Until a knock at my door came and God answered my prayers.
Except…uh…wrong prayer, God.
I’d definitely requested the big guy find me a drop-dead gorgeous man on more than one occasion...just not as my roommate.
Declan Tate talked me into interviewing him anyway.
While he was amusing and charismatic, I wouldn’t have been comfortable living with a man, so I regretfully declined.
Then cupcakes showed up at my door—freshly baked by Declan and just as sinfully delicious as he was.
You could say he was persistent.
I eventually folded. It wasn’t like I had another viable candidate anyway.
Plus, I was interested in someone else. And Declan was into another woman. So it wasn’t like anything would happen romantically.
After he moved in, the two of us became the best of friends. We even started to give each other advice on getting our crushes to notice us.
Eventually, Declan concocted an idea: we should pretend to be a couple to make our love interests jealous.
I was hesitant, but went along with it anyway. To my utter shock, his crazy plan worked.
Now I was dating the supposed man of my dreams, and my best friend had the woman of his.
But there was one problem.
I couldn’t stop thinking about Declan.
Those feelings we were trying to fake?
Yeah…I wasn’t pretending anymore.

Failure to Match
Romance · Contemporary Romance
Our take
She knows exactly how love is supposed to work until one impossible client turns the whole job into a slow-burning disaster. In Failure to Match, a successful matchmaker is forced to live with the arrogant billionaire she cannot stand as professional frustration turns into charged attraction. This is an enemies-to-livals romance built on sharp banter, hidden vulnerability, and the kind of tension that keeps pushing hate toward something much riskier.

It’ll be fine. He doesn’t know what I look like.

What starts as a practical arrangement turns messy fast when fake dating begins to expose very real want.
Faking Ms. Right
Romance · Contemporary Romance · RomCom
Our take
What starts as a practical arrangement turns messy fast when fake dating begins to expose very real want. In Faking Ms. Right, Everly Dalton agrees to pose as her billionaire boss’s live-in girlfriend, expecting clear boundaries and easy rules. Instead, forced proximity, blurred roles, and growing attraction turn this romantic comedy into a sharp, steamy fake relationship story with heart.
Choose your retailer
About the book
“When I kissed you last night, I wasn’t pretending.”
Everly Dalton is a walking, talking, martini-drinking dating disaster. Forget kissing frogs. She can’t even get past the first date. But at work, she’s a badass—the longest-running assistant billionaire Shepherd Calloway has ever had. Her coworkers wonder how she handles the big bad wolf—and never gets bit.
Shepherd Calloway isn’t interested in being anyone’s sugar daddy. Tired of women who only want him for his money, he swears off dating, determined to focus on running his empire. Until his gold-digging ex hits him where it hurts, putting him in a difficult position.
His solution—to have Everly pose as his live-in girlfriend—is obviously crazy. But the timing is uncanny. It just so happens Everly needs a favor from her boss—a big and awkward one—and this could ensure everyone gets what they want.
Besides, Everly can totally survive a few months of faux romance. Except there’s a problem. Shepherd is supposed to be a single-minded, unemotional robot boss. Not an actual human with a heart and morning wood. Between the awkward bed-sharing and tingly fake dates, lines are blurring. And as Everly gets to know the real Shepherd, she discovers there’s more to the man behind the bank account.
And faking it gets all too real.

About the book
“Whip smart and hilarious! Pucci is well on her way to literary domination.” —Abby Jimenez, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Just for the Summer.
USA Today bestselling author Trilina Pucci cranks up the heat in this sexy slasher filled with dark family secrets, classic horror tropes, and banter as sharp as a deranged killer’s knife.
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love will stab you from behind.
It’s Halloween night, and out-of-work writer Goldie Monroe’s trip to the drugstore scares up more than the fake blood she’s looking for. It leads to the man of her naughtiest dreams. And in spite of her costume, sparks fly from the moment they meet.
Noah Adler, aspiring sneaker designer, is impossibly gorgeous—like a tatted-up version of Goldie’s favorite blue-eyed vampire. He’s there for candy, but it’s Goldie he can’t resist. When she invites him to her sister’s F/X company bash, he’s all in without a second thought.
The pair’s flirty connection heats up fast, carrying them to electrifying new heights. But after Goldie discovers Noah is hiding a dark secret, it all starts to crumble. Looking for answers about her own past awakens new dangers, and when Goldie and Noah land at a slasher camp for adults, a deadly tragedy threatens to repeat itself. If they can survive this one killer night, they can definitely slay a happily ever after.

A man who has spent his life fixing other people’s problems begins to want something he never believed he could keep.
Out Of A Fix
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Contemporary Romance · Gay Romance
Our take
A man who has spent his life fixing other people’s problems begins to want something he never believed he could keep. In Out Of A Fix, Nash Miller steps in to protect a struggling family and finds himself drawn not only to their wounded stability but to the father waiting at the center of it. A warm, emotional romance built on caretaking, trust, and the hope of lasting love.
Choose your retailer
About the book
If you put a family back together, how can you ever leave them?
Through the years, Nash Miller has watched all his buddies fall in love and get married. It was romantic, and he’d wondered when he himself would find the one. Now, older, wiser, he realizes that what he’s always wanted—a husband and a family—just isn’t in the cards for him. And that’s all right. He has wonderful friends, a good life, and he gets to help people, which has always been his true calling. So when the time comes to protect a family in a tiny town in Washington State, he’s more than willing to get on his white horse and ride.
The family needs a bodyguard, but it goes beyond that. The mother abandoned them for a new life, and the father is absent, stuck on a work project he took on to keep his family afloat. What Nash finds are three kids in need of a fixer, and lucky for them, that’s exactly what he does. Providing support and structure is second nature to him, and he’s on solid ground, confident…until their father, Luke Duchesne, gets home. He’s nothing like Nash assumed he’d be, and with each passing day, the lure of the man, and his great kids, gets harder to resist. But he can’t stay there. He’s a fixer, after all, and what they’re all feeling is simply gratitude. Isn’t it…? Though when Luke kisses him, it starts to feel like so much more. Nash hopes he’ll be able to explore a life with Luke—he just needs to make sure his own isn’t cut short.

Grimstone
Romance · Thriller · Contemporary Romance · Gothic Romance
Our take
Inheriting a crumbling manor is bad enough. Wanting the man everyone suspects of murder makes it far worse. In Grimstone, Remi Hayes is pulled into a volatile connection with the doctor next door while violence, blackmail, and the shadows around Blackleaf Manor turn her new life into something increasingly dangerous. It fits readers who want romantic suspense with gothic atmosphere, damaged characters, and desire threaded through menace.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Remi Hayes is beginning to think she’s cursed—her fiancé cheated on her, her brother Jude is a major pain in her ass, and the moldering mansion she inherited from her uncle might just be haunted.
Flipping Blackleaf Manor already feels impossible, even before Remi is blackmailed by Dane Covett, the dangerously hot doctor-next-door, and Grimstone’s most eligible bachelor—if you can ignore the fact that everyone in town thinks he murdered his wife.
Remi doesn’t want to believe it, especially after Dane sews up a gash in her thigh and steals a kiss in payment—a kiss that makes it hard to walk for reasons that have nothing to do with an injured leg.
But as the renovation takes a strange and violent turn, Remi must decide if Dane is the one haunting her nights, or if he’s trying to protect her from something much worse…
