Release Blitz: Chasing Red by Maggie Cole

 

Title: Chasing Red

Duet: Beautiful Delusions #2

Author: Maggie Cole

Genre: Psychological Romance

Tropes: Stalker/Therapist, Morally Grey Romance

Release Date: April 8, 2026

BLURB

From International bestselling author Maggie Cole comes the next descent into a morally gray psychological romance, where love is a liability, distance is survival, and obsession refuses to be left behind.

I fell in love with Blue Ivanov long before I admitted it.

That’s the part no one was supposed to know.

Not her family or the men who would destroy me if they ever realized how deeply she owns me.

Walking away was the only way to keep her safe.

So I built distance and told myself I could be starved into silence.

I was wrong.

Blue doesn’t chase blindly. She calculates.

I say danger.

She hears devotion.

I say stay away.

She tracks my weakness and hunts me anyway.

Her father would call me a liability, a mistake that needs to be handled.

But Blue doesn’t want protection.

She wants a love that burns, consumes, and leaves you delirious for more.

No matter how far I run, Blue isn’t chasing me to win.

She’s chasing me to make sure I finally stop pretending I don’t want to be caught.

Chasing Red is book two of the Beautiful Delusions Duet. Best if read after Resisting Blue. See Author's Note inside the book for trigger warnings.

Release Blitz: Resisting Blue by Maggie Cole

 

Title: Resisting Blue

Duet: Beautiful Delusions #1

Author: Maggie Cole

Genre: Psychological Romance

Tropes: Stalker/Therapist, Morally Grey Romance

Release Date: April 1, 2026

BLURB

From International bestselling author Maggie Cole comes a morally gray psychological romance where boundaries are temptation, ethics are foreplay, and a dangerously perceptive woman sets her stalker sights on her therapist.

My parents made me see a therapist for stalking.

They thought Dr. Red Mercer would cure me. They assumed he would teach me restraint, discipline, and distance. What they didn’t count on was the way his gaze lingers too long, like he’s undressing the truth instead of treating it. Or how his voice tightens every time I say exactly what I’m thinking.

He says boundaries. I hear an invitation.

He says ethics. I see a man begging not to want me.

I’m not spiraling. I’m precise. I know where he draws the line and exactly how to leap over it.

Red calls my fixation a disorder.

I call it fate already in motion.

This is my version of the sessions.

And no matter how hard he fights it, I’ll strip away his control until Dr. Red Mercer admits what we both know.

He was never meant to resist me.

Resisting Blue is book one of the Beautiful Delusions Duet. See Authors Note inside the book for trigger warnings.

Title: Bride by Ritual

Series: The Underworld #3

Author: Maggie Cole

Genre: Dark Mafia Romance

Tropes: Secret Society, Frenemies, Taboo

Fake Marriage/Marriage of Convenience

Release Date: January 30, 2026

BLURB

The unforgettable conclusion of International bestselling author Maggie Cole's highly-received secret society, drenched in dark undertones, next-generation Mafia series about frenemies entering a fake marriage to climb to the top of the Underworld.

When Brax became an intruder inside the Underworld, I shouldn't have let my attraction overrule my brain.

I should have killed him.

Now, our fake marriage is the only way I can claim my seat at the table.

He's arrogant, sinfully gorgeous, and infuriates me any chance he gets. We've been frenemies since day one, always circling, always striking, and never trusting the other.

Somehow, pretending to love him is easy. His filthy looks, starving kisses, and possessive touches keep making me forget the truth about our marriage.

But it's just a game we're playing for power. And I won't be weak. I won't fall for my husband.

Even if every touch makes me crave him.

Even if every lie tastes like truth.

Even if the only thing more dangerous than trusting him is the Omni trying to unravel our marriage.

Bride by Ritual is a standalone with interconnected characters, and book three of The Underworld series. This dark, secret society, Mafia, frenemies, fake marriage/marriage of convenience romance is not meant for the faint of heart. Expect violence, taboo, and graphic scenes.

Series: Cartwright Family #3

Author: Maggie Cole

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Slow Burn/Cowboy Romance/Second Chance

Frenemies to Lovers/Billionaire Heroine

Bad Boy Bull Rider

Release Date: October 29, 2025

BLURB

He needs her to save his career. She needs to watch him suffer first. But some grudges come wrapped in red lace and go down just like whiskey—burning, dirty, unforgettable.

Wyatt Houston broke me with his cowboy grit and filthy promises. Now I’m supposed to save his career.

It’ll be a cold day in Hell.

He’s the only man to ruin me so thoroughly I still taste the ash.

But my family? They're relentless.

They ask why I won’t help, but I can’t exactly confess how my brother’s best friend was my first everything.

Or all the nights I snuck into his bed.

Or how he used my heart like a stepping stone to fame.

I swore I’d never again crave the way his voice drops when he’s angry.

I’d forget the hands that once worshipped me like a sin.

So I’ll just stay professional.

Yet when he looks at me like I’m the only thing he's ever wanted to ride hard and claim twice, I remember exactly how I broke.

God help me. I might cave and let him do it again.

Holiday Rider is a slow-burn, steamy standalone featuring a billionaire heroine, a bull rider, a second-chance romance, and a sizzling frenemies-to-lovers twist. When the woman he lost but never stopped wanting is the only one who can save his career, he'll risk everything to win her back. Only this time, he means forever.

Neither disgusts me. They also aren't what scares me.

If I could, I'd kill that beast until the world saw my husband as the man I see—the man I love.

Except I give him my heart before I learn the full truth. And once you see the unforgettable, how can you go back? How can you forgive your husband for sins that aren't his, yet he's tied to? Especially when the people you love got hurt in the most vile of ways?
