RELEASE BLITZ: The Invitation by Jodi Ellen Malpas

 


The Invitation by Jodi Ellen Malpas is now live! 


An ambitious career woman. An enigmatic billionaire. There’s more to their affair than meets the eye in this scalding romance by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the This Man series.

Amelia Lazenby deserves a breather—from work and from the stress of a recent breakup. Courtesy of her best friends, she gets a day of pampering at a posh country spa called Arlington Hall. Instead of finding calm, she finds her pulse racing when she sees flawlessly rugged Jude Harrison. Hand on heart, she’s never laid eyes on such a stunner. And an unexpected steam room meet takes their instant attraction to a whole new level.

Amelia wasn’t looking for an intense new affair. But the passion Jude ignites is off the charts. Even if he is a little possessive. Even if his temper can be as formidable as the influence he has on her body. He becomes all the more intriguing when Amelia discovers that Jude not only owns Arlington Hall but that their meeting was no accident. It was planned. But to what end?

That’s a mystery as irresistible as Jude himself. Is he worth the risk? Or is this the man who could break her?

 Undeniably Unexpected by J. Saman is now live! 


A swoony British single dad. A curvy, quirky secret romance author. USA Today bestselling author J. Saman brings the summer heat in this fake relationship, forced proximity, friends to lovers romance

Hollywood Bad Boy Loomis Powell Dating Heiress Keegan Fritz Amid Secret Baby Scandal.

That headline plus a broken wrist, my ex showing up, and it leaking that Loomis has a son no one knew about, and suddenly we're in a fake relationship.

He needs help keeping his son and saving his career, and I need someone to stop me from going back to my ex after he broke my heart.

It seems like the perfect plan until we realize someone is following us a little too closely.

Now we're stuck in a tiny cottage on an island off the Florida Keys.

It's a recipe for disaster.

Between his charming smile, sexy British accent, and swoon-worthy moments with his son, he's everything I need to stay away from. Loomis doesn't do love or relationships, and I have a penchant for falling fast and hard for the wrong men.

But with every searing kiss and sheet-clutching encounter, I'm finding it harder and harder to remember that what we have is fake.

Especially when outside forces threaten to tear us apart.

Can we find a way to turn this undeniably unexpected situation into something real, or will our Hollywood romance end in disaster?

COVER REVEAL - Denim & Diamonds by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

 



Title: Denim & Diamonds
Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative
Photographer: Wander Aguiar Photography
Model: Lucas Loyola
Release Date: July 27, 2025


BLURB

When the board of directors of my company mandated that I go to a wellness facility in small-town Maine to recharge, that shouldn’t have included:
1.) Using a ladder to sneak out of the bedroom window at night and going to the local bar.
2.) Getting so drunk that the bar owner brought me upstairs to sleep it off in his bed.
3.) Waking up staring at the taxidermy moose head on said bar owner’s wall.
4.) Falling for said bar owner who was the most drop-dead gorgeous man I’ve ever seen.
But Brock Hawkins was so much more than just the hot bar owner. He owned half the town, built log cabins with his bare hands, and was apparently the most eligible man in all of Meadowbrook.
He was also a cinnamon roll despite his seemingly rock-hard exterior.
And the last man I should’ve been falling for—because my time in this small town was limited.
I had to head back to my life in New York City, one that was the complete opposite from the kind Brock lived.
He was denim. I was diamonds.
The problem was, the sexy lumberjack wasn’t the type of man who was easy to walk away from. Hell, I couldn’t even part with his plaid shirt that had become a constant fixture wrapped around my shoulders most days, let alone think about erasing him from my life.
A life with Brock, though, would have to be all or nothing.
Go big or go home.
I just didn’t realize that choosing to go big might also mean getting my heart broken when Brock’s life took a turn neither of us saw coming.

https://getbook.at/FanboyTour

My two celebrity crushes might both be into me. What could be wrong with that? As it turns out: everything.

The world has thrown me a lot of challenges over the years, but I’ve always tried to stay positive. Life’s too short to dwell on the negative. Unfortunately, my situation just took a very complex turn: I’m raising my little brother alone right now, but I’ve got to keep that a secret. If anyone finds out, I risk losing Lou.

My secret gets tough to keep when two international celebrities show up in our small town and start paying me all kinds of attention. I’ve got zero dating experience and plenty of reasons to stay away from them both, but keeping my distance isn’t going to be easy. First there’s Colin, the quiet and brooding former race car driver who seems uninterested in everyone and everything…except me. And then there’s Tom, the charming movie star, who flirts with me like it’s his job. Oh, and did I mention the two of them are best friends? Or that I think Tom might have some very deeply hidden feelings for Colin?

I’m definitely in over my head here. If I want to keep Lou safe, I know it’s best that I keep both men at arm’s length. So what do I do? I start renovating a hotel with them.

Oops. But I’m sure if I just stay positive, everything will work out fine. Right?

Right?

Fanboy in the Falls is an MMM famous people/commoner romance. It comes with a brooding race car driver, a hopelessly romantic movie star, and the sweet cinnamon roll who is not supposed to fall in love with either of them. It has a guaranteed HEA and no cheating. This is a Devon Falls book, so of course it also comes with a leaf festival and plenty of small town quirk. This is the third book in the Devon Falls series, but it can be read as a standalone.





Watching Tom, Colin, and Gabe grow together as a throuple was wonderful. 
The community of Deven Falls feels very close and welcoming.
Their communication was gratifying to read, and Lou added a perfect touch. 
The undertaking of Gabe’s stepfather was thoughtful and well-written.
This is a romantic story with lovable characters. 
The chemistry between the guys made it a book that is hard to put down.

Release Tour: Glitter, by Kayla Halleur

 

RELEASE TOUR - Glitter by Kayla Halleur

Length: 47,000 words
Series: standalone
Prior Reading: n/a
Genre: contemporary
Tropes: Workplace romance; Revenge plot; Low angst; Introvert/Extrovert; Engineer Scientist/Doctor Scientist
Trigger/Content Warnings: ~ Derogatory speech against women and men who like to wear make-up, earrings, etc. Homophobia. Workplace harassment and bullying (detailed verbal threats and minor physical assault/violence)

BLURB:

Blue

There’s a lunch thief on the loose in my office, except he only seems to be stealing my lunch. Oh, I know who it is… But for “reasons,” management refuses to do anything about it.

When things escalate one Friday night, an attractive stranger comes to my rescue. A cute, teddy bear of a stranger that is making me want to cuddle and call him my own. I only have a first name to go on, but surely I’ll be able to track him down with enough determination.

Henry

His unique design sense, bright colors, sparkly jewelry, and colorful hairstyles grabbed my attention from the moment I first saw him a year ago. He’s held it ever since.

When I interrupted a nasty confrontation in the men’s restroom on a Friday evening, I finally learned his name and discovered that he’s even more beautiful up close than from a distance. Waiting one weekend to see him again feels like forever, but I’ve waited this long, and I already know that he’ll be worth it.

Now if I can just manage to help him vanquish his bully, maybe he’ll notice me in return.

Glitter is a standalone story featuring an outgoing scientist who loves experimenting with his creative style, a quiet engineer who loves building creative things, and a love story that blooms in an office lunchroom. Oh, and one very important cat who thinks the whole tale is about him.

EXCERPT:

My angel was crumpled on the floor in the corner, his knees hugged to his chest and his feathered wings crushed at an awkward angle. I almost expected to see him crying, but nope. When I looked into his eyes, they burned with fury.

Hesitantly, I approached him like a caged tiger, my hands slightly out in front of me. My immediate instinct was to ask him if he was okay, but I knew he wasn’t. How could anyone be okay after all of that? So, instead, I softly asked, “What can I do?”




"Glitter" by Kayla Halleur features an instant connection between Blue and Henry, who work at the same place but in different departments. Blue is vibrant and larger than life, yet he faces bullying. Henry, though quiet, stands out by devising a plan to expose the bully. Their bond is beautiful and profound. Oppisites attract Workplace romance Found Family.

about the author:

Kayla is a budding new Australian author who feels incredibly lost when needing to talk about herself (especially in the third person), preferring to let her stories speak on her behalf. When she’s not writing, she can usually be found on the couch wrapped in a blanket burrito with her head in a book. That type of existence suits her introverted heart well, much to the chagrin of her extroverted relatives.

She freely admits that she doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing, but she hopes she’s at least learning as she goes. She’s thankful that you’ve given her story a chance and hopes you enjoyed it.

Alone and Looking to Bone! Loudmouthed Mountain Man Seeks Fiery Woman to Grow Old With.

I might look like a tall, tattooed, bearded neanderthal...but like an onion, I have layers. Swipe right if you like a proud cat daddy who catches feelings after direct eye contact.


All I wanted was a casual plus-one to my brother's destination wedding, but those idiots on my family tree hacked my dating profile and sabotaged my quest for the perfect weekend fling. Now I'm stuck on a tropical vacation with only my hand to keep me company.


Until I’m forced to share a room with the bane of my existence: my sister-in-law’s best friend.


Dakota has hated me for the past seven years. I wasn’t losing much sleep over her screaming rants because she was some other guy’s problem. Or she was, until she got divorced.


Being stuck in paradise with a woman who loathes your very existence doesn't sound hot, but after an unexpected moment in our shared palapa, she starts screaming at me in a different way.


What happens in paradise stays in paradise. That is, until Dakota shows up on my mountain with a proposition: be her wingman to help her regain her pre-divorce confidence.


Suddenly, Dakota’s not just the person I love to fight with. 

She’s the woman I want everything with.

Excerpt:

“I think we should be friends with benefits,” the mountain man says as he drives down the interstate that leads us back to Boulder.

“But…we’re not friends,” I blurt out as I turn to look at him to make sure he hasn’t been possessed by a demon.

He shrugs. “Semantics.”

My mouth opens and closes over and over like one of those silly singing bass wall hangings. He’s got to be messing with me right now, right? He doesn’t sleep with women more than once…at least not on purpose. “So instead of being my wingman, you want to be my eff buddy?”

“If you’re intent on a label, you can call us enemies with benefits.” He smiles like he’s casually talking about the weather. “It’s honestly genius because if you’re friends with benefits, feelings are bound to get involved because you both already like each other. You hating me makes this much easier.”

“Don’t you think we need to get along for something like this to actually work?”

“Got along just fine ten minutes ago at that adults only club.” Calder shoots me a dark look that I feel squarely between my legs. “Just consider me your emotionally distant private masseuse.”

My mind reels with this proposition that I did not have on my bingo card in my postdivorce era. A casual affair with Calder Fletcher…the contractor who ruined my house and my wedding dress seven years ago. It sounds like a horrible idea that’s sure to end in catastrophe.

Then again, it also sounds kind of poetic in some strange way. It’s like revenge or something. And he’s not the same guy he was seven years ago. I’ve seen that in more ways than one the past few weeks.

I shake that thought away, trying not to let my heart get too involved with this discussion. “I thought you never hook up with girls twice.”

“I don’t usually, but it’s not really a rule I have.”

“So I would be an exception?”

Calder’s jaw muscle twitches. “Sure, Ace. You’re an exception.”

“Why exactly am I the exception?”

He exhales. “I just think you’ve been out of the game for a while, and jumping headfirst into an adult club is too risky.”

“Risky.”

“You have to walk before you can run,” he adds with a smirk that sends my belly into somersaults. “And with any luck, even walking with be hard when I’m done with you.”

Seven year Itch is an entertaining story with an enemies to lovers vibe.

Calder Fletcher is this larger than life mountain man. Dakota is the woman who gets on his nerves. This is love-hate to the nth degree. Oh boy, prepare yourself!

The banter in this book is very witty. Its also a story that makes a fabulous escape from reality &  its very tongue in cheek too!

I honestly can’t wait to read more stories from the author.
