Is stalking just a one sided meet cute?


Ash Conrad throws his meticulously curated life plans out the window to attend an Ivy League. In a country he’s never been to, against family tradition, all in the hope of gaining entrance to an ancient and exclusive secret society.


The Legacy of Power isn’t just an elite secret society, it’s where the heirs of the criminal underworld play. Admittance would guarantee Ash access to the type of people who might help him save his brother.

But first he has to get through Rurik Locke.


Son of the world’s most notorious assassins, Rurik’s family founded Legacy. He’s a ruthless, violent enigma of a golden retriever—who’s not above a little stalking—and is utterly obsessed.


Ash needs his help, but Rurik’s chaos threatens every aspect of the careful structure he’s built to survive.


They’re about to find out the skeletons in their closets are a lot more intertwined than they realize, and Ash will have to let Rurik in to save them both.

Release Blitz: Flare by Jessica Jude

 

FLARE

Jessica Jude

Release Date: September 15 



Meet Jessica Jude:

Jessica Jude writes emotionally-charged kissing (among other things) books about royals and the elite. Her aim in all of her stories is to make you fall in love with the characters and use up box after box of tissues. Her characters are strong and independent, who make plenty of morally gray decisions. She likes her women fierce and her men possessive.

Her favorite scenes to write are arguments. She's been known to stir up drama in her own life when she gets bored, and her family is glad she has an outlet for her occasional Blair-Waldorfism. She lives in a big old house in the midwestern United States with her high-school sweetheart. She has dreamed of being an author since she was six and wrote her first book about a girl named Mary who got lost in the woods. Mary was eventually found, but sadly, the book was never published. Jessica is a homebody who loves to travel, a coffee candle junkie who doesn't drink coffee, and a very-loud-at-home introvert.

CASSIAN

I’ve loved Vivienne Wilson for so long, I don’t remember what it feels like not to. Not that it matters.

She’s my best friend’s sister. She’s off-limits. And now, she’s engaged to marry a man who can give her everything I can’t. A title. A future. A life that makes sense on paper.

I’m only the estate manager’s son—temporarily running Belgrave Park while my father recovers—and doing my level best to survive the autumn without losing what’s left of my sanity.

So I do what I’ve always done.

I stay quiet.
I keep my distance and pretend it doesn’t carve out my heart to do it.
I’ll give her every last thing she needs.

Even if it kills me.


VIVIENNE

Getting married at Belgrave Park is supposed to be a dream. It’s everything my family has ever wanted for me—an impeccable match, a perfect wedding, a future that fits neatly into the world I was born into.

There’s just one problem.

Cassian Cordero is everywhere. In the stables. In the library. Across the dinner table, looking at me like I’m something he’s already lost.

He’s my brother’s best friend.

My first crush.

The only boy I’ve ever loved.

And the last man in the world to ever be mine.

Because no matter how close we get—how long his hand lingers, how quiet the world feels when it’s just us—he never crosses the line. Never says the things I’m desperate to hear. Never gives me a reason to believe this isn’t all in my head.

I said yes to a man I don’t love, because if Cassian wanted me, he would’ve chosen me by now.

Release Blitz: Axe Backwards by May Archer

 



Title: Axe Backwards
Series: Axford Brothers #3
Author: May Archer
Genres: Contemporary Gay Romance
Tropes: Fake Relationship, Hidden Identity, Small Town
Opposites Attract, Only One Bed, Forced Proximity
Release Date: September 15, 2026


BLURB

A fake engagement to the hot sheriff who escorted me to family camp? Weirdly delightful.
Failing to tell him that my family is a bunch of professional thieves? Small oversight.

I left the Callahan family business years ago. These days I’m a law-abiding citizen. A photographer who takes nothing but pictures. A man who’s learned not to get greedy for anything… or anyone.

But my family hasn’t gotten that memo, so I expect my week at family camp to be filled with guilt-trippy attempts to lure me back into the fold.

Until Holden Axford comes along… and everything goes axe backwards.

Winsome’s gorgeous sheriff was supposed to be nothing more than a one-night-stand.
He doesn’t have a clue why I’m dreading this week, but he takes his protection game seriously.
So when he thinks I need a rescue, he steps in and declares himself my fiancé… and I’m too busy swooning to argue.

Now Holden’s sharing my bed, stealing kisses like Callahans steal Rembrandts, planning a camp heist (for fun, obvs!), and charming my family of criminals.

Our motto is ‘Callahans don’t get caught’ but nobody warned me about catching feelings.

Unfortunately, secrets don’t stay buried forever. And when someone forces the Callahans toward one last impossible job, protecting the family I love means becoming the man I swore I’d never be again.

But if Holden learns the truth about my past, it’ll be goodbye fake engagement, goodbye sheriff… goodbye heart.

Title: Jonesing for a Spy
Series: Keeping Up With the Joneses #1
Author: Hadley Finn
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Opposites Attract, Small Town, Protective Hero
Release Date: September 15, 2026


BLURB

Mirren Jones is a damn good spy. Even if it means half-truths, secret identities, and a little deception with those she loves.

When an op tosses her headlong into Strider Anderson, she ignores the sexy man and does what she’s trained to do—get in, get the job done, and get out.

But the universe keeps putting him in her path, and “getting out” isn’t nearly as easy as one would think.

He’s tangled with her family, in her assignments, and between her sheets.

After living a life in secret, she wants to be seen, and Strider looks at her like he knows every secret she’s hiding. He worships the woman beneath the aliases and offers her a future she's never allowed herself to imagine.

So when a mission forces Mirren to choose between the career she’s built and the man who’s taught her how to truly live, more than just her secrets are threatened.

As it turns out… only the truth can save her.

Release Blitz: The Snowflake Effect by Kelly Siskind

 



Title: The Snowflake Effect
Series: Over the Top #1
Author: Kelly Siskind
Genres: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers, Widowed Dad, Hate-flirting
Vacation Fling, He Woos Her Hard
Release Date: September 15, 2026


BLURB

If love and hate are flipsides of the same coin, pursuing the argumentative woman I simultaneously want to smother and devour can’t end badly, right?

Shay Gallagher is smart and sexy and has enough snappy comebacks to fill Aspen valley. She’s the exact opposite of my late wife. Definitely not the woman I’ve pictured in my future, helping raise my son.

Good thing this is only a vacation fling.

Or, more accurately, a hate-fueled shag-a-thon in Aspen’s snow-covered trees, on the chairlift, even a few choice bathrooms.

We’ve agreed our explosive hookups end when we return home to the opposite sides of Canada. Nothing good can come from this much combustible magnetism.

So why do I text her that I’ll be spending the summer in Toronto on a business trip? Why do I chase her to go out with me again, like I’m in some kind of Wooing Olympics? I even use my son to win her over.

There’s just something about Shay. Her ease with Jackson, the laughs and banter we share. Trouble is, we still live a country apart, and Shay has declared she doesn’t want to get snowballed into another man’s life by upending her own.

Surely two people this shockingly good together can still conquer these mounting odds…
