Every man I’ve ever hit on has been in a relationship.

 

Why should it be any different with my fated mate?

 

For weeks, I’ve been able to feel my fated mate but unable to find him. Something, or someone, is hiding him from me.

 

When fate finally leads me to him, it’s not in the way I’m expecting.

 

I find my mate dying on the ground. 

 

I don’t think. I just heal him.

 

For a few blissful seconds, I’m happy. I finally know who my mate is. Ethan Routliff. The most beautiful man I’ve ever met.

 

But before we can walk the path to our happily ever after, Ethan says the words I’ve heard a thousand times before.

 

“I have a boyfriend.”

 

Never had I imagined that fate would be so cruel. I walk away from him, knowing I can’t make him choose me. I won’t. 

 

What I don’t realise is that it wasn’t only Ethan’s injuries I healed that day, but something far more sinister. A disease that was poised to take him from me forever.

 

As Ethan and I become friends, I learn that my mate has been through more than I can ever imagine. 

 

And that there’s someone else who wants him. Not his boyfriend.

 

No, someone far more dangerous than anyone I’ve ever come across before…

 

Enchanted is a heartwarming angel x human MM PNR romance. The fourth in the Hopeless Blessed series, each book follows a different couple. While they can be read as standalones, they are best enjoyed in order.

Excerpt Reveal: The Fall Affair by Vi Keeland

 

Title: The Fall Affair

Author: Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Opposites Attract/Found Family

Release Date: August 18, 2026

Take a sneak peek of THE FALL AFFAIR.

You know you want to...

Allegra: I think you’re pretty amazing. I’m going to bed smiling on the eve of what might turn out to be one of the worst days of my life. Thank you for coming here with me.

The reply came almost instantly.

Matteo: I think you’re pretty amazing, too. And I love your smile.

That made my already-big grin grow wider. Rather than text back, I decided to take a selfie of me beaming to show him I wasn’t kidding. I held my phone out, tilted it down for a good angle, and snapped a photo of me lying in bed. Only when I checked the picture, I realized the camera had caught a lot more than I’d intended. Yes, I was smiling, but I was also wearing a black slip nightgown, the top of which was lace and showed a lot of cleavage. I hadn’t been going for sexy, but damn, it was.

I bit my lip, debating whether I should take another. Then the wine, or maybe the adrenaline, pushed me. Screw it. Send.

My heart raced as I watched the status go from Delivered to Read. The dots on the screen started to bounce around, then stopped and started twice before an incoming text arrived.

Matteo: You’re gorgeous. And that photo just made its way into my private folder.

A shiver ran down my spine.

Allegra: And what exactly are the photos in your private folder used for?

Matteo: I think you know the answer to that.

My thighs pressed together thinking of Matteo pleasuring himself to my picture. I hadn’t intended this conversation to go this way, but now that it had…

Allegra: I think it’s only fair that I have a picture for my private folder, then.

This time a response didn’t come right away. After a minute or two, I thought maybe I’d taken things too far. But then my phone chimed, a photo lit up my screen, and my breath caught.

Oh. My. God.

Matteo was sprawled across his bed, sheet slung low on his hips. His muscular chest was bare, and his beautiful Italian skin was golden and smooth except for the sexy happy trail that led down to where it was covered. One arm was bent behind his head, showing off the cut of his biceps, and his gaze was on me, even through the photo. And God, the sinful smirk on his lips made it impossible to look away.

After a few minutes of staring, I swallowed.

Allegra: I’m speechless, and that’s saying something. LOL. Wow. Just wow. I’m not sure I’ll be able to sleep after seeing that. I’m a little riled up.

His near-instant response left no doubt that he’d been waiting for my text.

Matteo: For the record, my door is open if you ever want to come see it in person…

Sam

Jameson Kane. Or ‘Candy Kane’ as he’s known on the ice for his skills as the school's top defensive player. They call him an enforcer with a beautiful face. I call him my boyfriend. The love of my life. My first everything.

My future is planned, a map of perfection to reach my ultimate goal of playing professional women’s hockey. In this snapshot of my future I’ve always pictured Jameson by my side, thriving in his career while we take on the world together.

Everything changes quickly when two pink lines appear on a test right before the biggest moment of our lives. With our futures hanging in the balance, I make a choice that neither of us can come back from and that map of my future drastically changes. My biggest fear, having Jameson look at me with anything but love in his eyes, is enough to make me run.

Except Jameson doesn’t accept defeat. I might have broken him, but he still shows up every weekend. And as the truth comes out, I’m about to learn that not everything is as it seems, and Jameson Kane has never really let me go.

Jameson

Sam Campbell has always been mine. I stopped thinking of her as my best friend at thirteen and more as the girl who will be my future. She’s had my attention since we were nine, and I love being the center of her world. It's only fair since she’s my entire universe.

While I plot ways to keep her, I always keep in mind that Sam has plans. Literal, written down to-do lists, for each year in high school, college and beyond. I wasn’t going to put my needs above her goals. Instead I worked in the background making sure she got everything she wanted while also being the most important person in her life.

Then one day she changed my life completely. What followed was a chain of events that led to our futures going in different directions. Too bad I was never going to let Sam go. Instead, I use all my resources, winnings from my races, and my relentless obsession to bring her back to me. To make sure both of them never go a day without me.

Hockey brought us together. Racing is what keeps me in control. Loving Sam is the rush of a lifetime. I just have to prove it to her.

Release Blitz: Whiskey Proposal by Walker Rose

 

WHISKEY PROPOSAL

Walker Rose

Release Date: August 14 

Meet Walker Rose:

Thanks for joining me for a cocktail and some girl talk. I live the dream in my own slice of paradise where I get to enjoy colorful sunsets from my rocking chair while I’m working. I have my very own romance hero with Mr. Rose and there’s more than a few little rose buds running around. A couple aren’t so little anymore! We keep things interesting with cats and a dog and the critters that roam though the yard (fingers crossed the mountain lions stay away).

Blurb:

Lane Foster was supposed to be a potential client—nothing more than the quiet, sinfully attractive co-owner of a Montana distillery. An account big enough to put my brand-new marketing company on Denver’s radar. A simple meeting for a make-or-break pitch.

Instead, it was one night. One explosive kiss. One promise to see him again.

Then I ghosted him.

So imagine my surprise when I return home for my father’s funeral and learn Dad’s final wish: I will inherit my childhood home. But only if I marry Lane Foster first.

Fine. I’ll marry the man. One month. One simple house sale. One emotionless divorce.

Except then he fixes up my father’s old truck without being asked. He makes space for me to work—and for my rapidly growing flock of chickens. He talks to me, touches me, makes me feel things way too much.

To make it worse, the tiny, judgmental town I ran from is welcoming me home.

I’m starting to wonder if my husband really wants a divorce. Or if I do either. What began as a whiskey proposal feels way too neat. But in my experience, that means it’s time to settle up because everything’s about to go sour.

Bennett Winchester is perfectly content with his life in Mirror Lake. He owns his own garage where he works as a mechanic, has two sisters and good friends to spend his time with, and he doesn’t mind not being in a relationship—until Felix Kipling arrives in town and starts working at the bar owned by Bennett’s sister. The second Bennett lays eyes on Felix, his alpha instincts make it clear he’s looking at his true mate, and he’ll do anything to be with him.

Felix has a past that makes him wary of a potential relationship, but Bennett isn’t easily deterred and he’s willing to take everything at Felix’s pace, no matter how long he has to wait to claim Felix as his omega. The two quickly realize that what they have is so much more than a casual fling, but it may not matter when an accident puts Felix in a coma.

Dealing with his confusion about the cause of the accident, suspicion of everyone around him, and the return of Felix’s mate, Bennett is faced with an impossible choice: does he bond the man he loves to him without his explicit consent, or allow Felix’s ex to be involved in decisions that directly impact Felix’s health?

As the sheriff of Mirror Lake, Bennett’s best friend, starts to piece together the makings of a larger criminal organization, Bennett’s concern that Felix’s ex had something to do with the accident only grows. But there is nothing Bennett won’t do for his omega, even if it means risking everything to protect him.

VANDAL UNBOUND

S. Cole

Release Date: August 13 

Meet S. Cole:

Scarlett Cole is a contemporary romance and romantic suspense author who calls both Toronto, Canada and Manchester, England home. A born city dweller, she periodically quashes the urge to live in the country by hiking up a mountain to remind herself that living away from people would terrify the pants off her.

She believes everybody deserves their love story to be told and loves her heroes on the rough and rugged side…and usually tall (because she married one of those 6ft 6” men you read about in romance!). She’s an A-type personality and Scorpio star sign, so good luck getting her to do anything she doesn’t want to.

When she isn’t writing, she’s happy to talk hot men and expensive shoes while drinking a cold gin and tonic. Don’t bring up olives. As far as Scarlett is concerned, they are the devil’s food. As long as you don’t bring up olives, she’s happy to hear from any time.

DAISY

The day I ran, I left behind everything except my daughter.

I knew I couldn’t beat the men who wanted to take Elsie from me. Men with money, power, and enough lawyers to make sure she’d grow up visiting the father she never deserved. So I disappeared instead.

We’ve spent years looking over our shoulders. Never staying anywhere long enough to belong. Never trusting anyone enough to call them home.

Then one wrong phone call changes everything.

Vandal is a wall of tattoos, silence, and scars that tell stories he never will. The kind of man every sensible woman should fear.

Instead, I find myself wondering if the safest place I’ve ever been is in the arms of the most dangerous man I’ve ever met.

VANDAL

The men who took me thought they could break me, and maybe they did.

Physically, I get better every day. But my head is still so messed up, I can’t tell the difference between a memory and a nightmare. The club says I survived. Most days, it doesn’t feel like it.

Then a little girl calls my phone by mistake.

One wrong number puts Daisy and Elsie right in the middle of my wrecked life. Daisy with her gentle touch and guarded eyes. And Elsie clutching her teddy bear, looking at me like I’m someone safe.

I’m not.

I’m an Iron Outlaw. Damaged. Barely holding myself together.

But Daisy’s running from dangerous men. And I start wanting things I stopped believing I deserved; a home, a family, and her.

So, when Daisy’s past finally catches up to her, they’re going to learn exactly how dangerous a broken man can be when you threaten the only people keeping him alive.
