Meet Brooke Blaine:

Blurb:


Red, White & Royal Blue meets The Hating Game in this witty royal romance where two rival princes turn flirting into a competition—and accidentally fall in love.


Gabriel

Winning people over has always been my greatest talent. 

One smile, one joke, one perfectly timed wink, and I have them eating out of my hand. 

But I don’t think that’s going to work so well on Prince Alejandro of Solterra. The man my twin, King Nicholas Valemont, cast aside for his footman in his pursuit of true love. 

Alejandro is infuriatingly handsome, impossibly stubborn, and determined to turn every conversation into a competition. Every move feels suspiciously like a trap designed to make me—the other Valemont brother—suffer.

So naturally, I decide to make a game of it. 

No feelings. 

No jealousy. 

No falling in love. 

Simple.

At least…it was supposed to be.


Alejandro

I’ve already been the world’s biggest royal headline because of a Valemont once. I have no interest in becoming one again. 

Then Gabriel arrives—charming, relentless, impossible to ignore—and somehow turns every argument into flirtation and every competition into something dangerously fun. 

We agree on one rule above all else: no falling in love.

It should’ve been easy. 

Instead, every sharp word, every stolen kiss, every moment no one else is watching makes it harder to remember where the game ends…and where real feelings begin. 

Because the most dangerous thing about competing with Gabriel isn’t losing. 

It’s realizing I’d happily let him win.

The Spare Affair is a fun enemies-to-lovers romance between two princes trying to repair the relationship between their kingdoms.

Alejandro is cold, curt, and determined to keep Gabriel at arm’s length. Gabriel, however, sees his icy walls as a challenge. Their fierce competition, hilarious mishaps, and undeniable attraction and their shenanigans had me laughing out loud!.

Their romance is extremely intense written as only Brooke Blaine and Ella Frank can deliver!

Release Blitz: When We Fell Away by R.K. Lilley

 When We Fell Away by R.K. Lilley is now live!


Lorenzo Pope

I have always been a fraud.

As far back as I can remember, I have been pretending to think and feel what everyone around me insisted was right. Playing a part became so ingrained that, even now, years and evolutions later, I’m still not sure what’s at the center of me.

I was the eldest son in a strict Mormon family, born into a life that fit everyone but me. I tried. God, I tried. I gave it everything I had.

I spent years building a heaven for everyone but myself.

I preached salvation while quietly drowning.

In 1991, I was sent to Lyon, France by the church, determined to become the man I’d always pretended to be.

Then I met Elder Nathan Van Zandt.

His reputation preceded him. He was our district leader. The missionary everyone talked about. The football star who had put his future on hold to serve God. Brilliant. Devoted. Broad-shouldered and impossibly tall, with olive skin, fathomless dark eyes, and a smile that could make you believe in miracles.

He was the man on the tip of everyone’s tongue. They forgot to mention how beautiful he was.

Or how every room seemed to bend toward him the moment he walked inside.

Or how impossible he was to resist.

Sometimes your breaking point isn’t the moment you go under.

Sometimes it’s the moment you finally come up for air.

Temptation doesn’t always lead you astray from who you are.

Sometimes it leads you straight to it.

When We Fell Away is a poignant, forbidden M/M second-chance romance set in the early ‘90s, spanning years of reverent yearning, impossible devotion, aching restraint, and the devastating cost of choosing between faith and the only person who’s ever felt like home.








When We Fell Away by R.K. Lilley is definitely a book I will never forget!

Written with so much love and passion, this story is everything I’ve come to appreciate about R.K. Lilley’s writing.

I’ve read nearly all of R.K. Lilley’s books, and although I mostly read M/M romance, when I came across When We Fell Away, I knew I just had to read it.

Lorenzo and Nathan meet in Lyon, France, while carrying out their ministries. From there, their lives begin to unfold—though not always in the same direction.

The yearning between these two men is undeniable, and at times, heartbreakingly sad.

The writing is magnificent. It’s a gentle, beautifully told story that draws you into Lorenzo’s eyes, thoughts, and feelings, allowing you to experience his journey in such an intimate way.

At its heart, this is a story about two men who couldn’t find their person… until they finally did. ❤️

A beautiful, tender, unforgettable read.

BLURB

When you’re born without a trace, no one knows you’re a weapon.

I lie for her.

I hunt for her.

I kill for her.

And above all, I betray my mission for her.

Our training taught me to be a sociopath. A machine. A pawn.

But our teachers forgot one important detail:

Pawns shouldn’t have hearts.

Yet we do.

It's not against any formal rule for us to sleep together.

It is, however, strictly forbidden to have feelings for each other.

We are breaking all the rules.

And it feels fantastic.

When you don’t know who you can trust, reality distorts. It twists and oozes, disintegrating and reformulating to meet whatever needs its masters demand.

Just like me.

Just like Kina.

Except everything is different now that we know who we really are.

And that makes love the greatest weapon of all.

Get the entire Stateless boxed set, containing Stateless, Traceless, and Fateless, a complete trilogy featuring Kina and Callum, born and raised to be part of a secret society of spies created by a shadow government.

When the truth turns out to be stranger than any lie, they turn to each other to create their own reality.

But will it be enough to stay alive?
