Blurb:

Julian Langley has everything a man could ever want—a sprawling Manhattan townhouse, a multi-billion-dollar portfolio, and ownership of the New York Vipers, one of the most coveted franchises in professional hockey. What he doesn't have, and will never allow himself, is anyone who matters too much. Carrying a devastating loss that completely reshaped him, Julian has since built his life around the certainty that nothing will ever cost him that dearly again.


Harper Hawthorne isn't looking for a billionaire. She's looking for a way to keep the lights on. Single-handedly holding her world together since she was a teenager, Harper works two jobs, lives in a rent-controlled apartment on the Lower East Side, and sacrifices everything for her younger brother. When an unexpected phone call lands her a chauffeur job behind the wheel of Julian’s car, she takes it for exactly what it is: a paycheck.


Julian notices everything about her. Harper tries not to notice anything about him. What begins as a professional arrangement starts to crack at the edges when Harper proves, repeatedly and effortlessly, that she’s unlike anyone Julian has ever encountered before. She’s too sharp to ignore, too genuine to keep at arm's length, and entirely unimpressed by his world in a way that makes it impossible for him to stop thinking about her.


Julian doesn't do commitment. Harper doesn't believe in fairy tales. But some collisions are inevitable and some people are worth every risk you swore you'd never take again.


Julian is a slow-burn hockey romance about a guarded billionaire, the woman who got under his skin without trying, and the long road back to trusting that a second shot at love is always worth the leap.

Julian is hands down one of the best books I have read this year! All the stars!! 

I devoured it!! This is an incredibly uplifting, emotional story with characters that really captivated my attention and my heart!

Julian is the owner of the Vipers hockey team and a very successful man! 

Meeting Harper as his personal driver is unexpected and he’s even more intrigued by her mind. 

I genuinely loved both Harper & Julian. 

Harper for her passion, her ability to make the most of her life and the way she cares for those close to her, especially her brother. 

Julian is this force of a man, he is private and knows a good thing when he sees it, however he has struggles too. Can Julian let Harper truly in? 

The way the storyline flows is a testament to the creative minds of both the authors. I love this series and this being the second book blew my mind! I sincerely cannot wait for more!!

I’ve been in love with Trace Bishop half my life…
And I’ve been hiding it just as long.

He’s my father’s best friend.
The man who tracked me down and kept me safe my entire childhood…

The man who looked me in the eyes six years ago and said we were impossible.

So I poured my longing into love songs.
Songs no one knows are about Trace.
I shared them with the world under a secret identity and won a Grammy.
Just another thing to hide.

Then one stupid kiss changes everything.

Trace can’t want me back.
It would cost him his friends, his family, and the life he’s built.
And I’m tired of wanting the impossible.
So I run…

Straight into the crosshairs of someone who knows all my secrets and doesn’t care who gets hurt.

Trace does what he always does–he finds me.
But this time, he’s not tracking his best friend’s son.
He’s tracking the man whose kiss he can’t forget.
The man he’ll burn his life down to keep.

Because if Trace and I want a chance at forever, hiding is no longer an option.

You know those connections that are so deep and undeniable that no matter how hard the characters try to fight them, they just can’t escape what’s between them? That’s Wolfe and Trace.

There are so many reasons they shouldn’t be together. The 16-year age gap. Trace being Wolfe’s dad’s best friend and believing he should only ever see him as a surrogate nephew. All the secrets Wolfe is carrying. Every single thing seems designed to keep them apart.

And yet… none of it is stronger than what they feel for each other. ❤️

The chemistry, the tension, the stolen moments, the emotions—

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


BLURB

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.

New Release: CRAVING SIN by Riley Hart





 CRAVING SIN

Riley Hart 

Release Date: August 27 


Meet Riley Hart:

Riley Hart’s love of all things romance shines brightly in everything she writes. Her primary focus is Male/Male romance but under various pen names, her prose has touched practically every part of the spectrum of love and relationships. The common theme that ties them all together is stories told from the heart.


A hopeless romantic herself, Riley is a lover of character-driven plots, many with flawed and relatable characters. She strives to create stories that readers can not only fall in love with, but also see themselves in. Real characters and real love blended together equal the ultimate Riley Hart experience.


When Riley isn’t creating her next story, you can find her reading, traveling, or dreaming about reading or traveling, and spending time with her two perfectly snarky kids, and one swoon-inducing husband.

Rian


As head of the O’Shea family, I don’t make mistakes.


I certainly don’t become obsessed with a guy. Stalk him. And then proceed to kidnap him to a secluded cabin when an attempt on my life is made.


But that’s exactly what I did.


While my family hunts down the men who tried to kill me, Doctor Preston Abbott is trapped with me, and I expect him to nurse me back to health before paying the ultimate sacrifice. Abbott…who is also the governor’s son.


Each day my interest in him grows. He cares for me, shares parts of his life with me, willingly gives his body to me and begs for more…even though he knows he’ll die by my hand.


I never thought I would want someone again this way, that I would crave another person the way I do Abbott. He’s too good for the violence of my world, and all the sinful things I revel in. I’m a monster but he’s mine until the end.


Mine to crave…mine to touch…mine to kill…


Craving Sin contains MCs dealing with grief, violence, darker themes, and morally gray characters with no redemption arc. This is still a Riley Hart romance, so you can expect a happily ever after for our guys.

Craving Sin ( Sinful Things Book 1 ) I loved seeing Rian rebuild his relationship with Cillian! That part was perfect!  

The confused but sweet way Rian handled Abbott was absolutely addictive. His obsessive and possessive nature toward Abbott, even when he didn’t fully understand his own feelings, made me keep turning the pages! 

 And Abbott… who is an extremely gentle soul, you want to wrap him up and give him all the love he so deeply deserves.

 I finished this one in a single sitting because I couldn’t put it down. I loved everything about it! Definitely a book to pick up and devour—much like Rian and Abbott devour each other.
 Wonderfully written, I fell into the Mafia world again!
