M.A. Wardell has revealed the pre-order  for Stirring Spurs!

Releasing July 1, 2025

What if he didn't have to quit you?

In the heart of Oklahoma’s sprawling Rainbow Ranch, Boone Adams thrives as the vibrant soul behind the kitchen, tirelessly whipping up meals that warm both body and spirit. As the younger twin to the brooding Beau, Boone embraces his role as the ultimate caretaker, pouring his heart into nourishing his family and friends. His sunny disposition and unwavering concern for his siblings mask a deeper longing for recognition and self-care.

Everything changes when Wylie Anderson arrives—a rugged cowboy battling his own demons and desperate for a fresh start. Drawn to the ranch to earn some quick cash, Wylie has no intentions of sticking around after the monthly rodeo. As their paths intertwine, Boone’s nurturing spirit clashes with Wylie’s hardened exterior, igniting a tension neither expected.

Will Boone’s unwavering kindness break through Wylie’s tough façade, revealing the warmth beneath? And can Wylie help Boone discover the importance of prioritizing his own happiness? In this tale of love, self-discovery, and the power of connection, two opposites just might find a way to complement each other and heal their own hearts.

Pre-Order Reveal: Back in the Shadows by J.A. Owenby

 

J.A. Owenby has revealed the pre-order for Back in the Shadows!

Releasing April 16, 2025

Two faces. One obsession. Zero mercy.
 
One, two, they took what's mine.
My little lamb was stolen from me.
 
Three, four, blood on the floor.
The monster she awakened has broken free.
 
Five, six, death's favorite tricks.
My darkness hunts relentlessly.
 
Seven, eight, feel my rage.
Hell itself bows down to me.
 
Nine, ten, kill again and again.
Each death brings her back to me.
 
Eleven, twelve, straight to hell.
Where screams ring eternally. 
 
Welcome back to your darkest nightmare.
I am Death, and they've stripped away my mask of mercy.
My little lamb, I will paint the streets red until you're safe in my arms again.
 
 
“Back in the Shadows” plunges readers deeper into Death's twisted realm, where love and violence dance in perfect harmony. This isn't just a story—it's a descent into beautiful madness, where the line between protector and monster blurs with every heartbeat. Once you've stepped back into the shadows, there's no escaping their embrace.
 
This is book 2 and readers must read In the Shadows first.
 
This dark romance features multiple POVs, intricate storylines, and graphic content including possessive themes, obsession, morally grey characters, and dubcon that weaves together into one soul-shattering conclusion. If you crave a simple love story, this isn't it. But if you dare to embrace the darkness, welcome home.

Meet J.A. Owenby

International bestselling author J.A. Owenby grew up in a small backwoods town in Arkansas where she learned how to swear like a sailor and spot water moccasins skimming across the lake.

She finally ditched the south and headed to Oregon. The first winter there, she was literally blown away a few times by ninety mile an hour winds and storms that rolled in off the ocean.

Eventually, she longed for quiet and headed up to snowier pastures. She now resides in Washington state with her hot nerdy husband and cat, Chloe (who frequently encourages her to drink). She spends her days coming up with ways to torture characters in a way that either makes you want to throw your book down a flight of stairs or sob hysterically into a pillow.

J.A. Owenby writes new adult and romantic thriller novels. Her books ooze with emotion, angst, and twists that will leave you breathless. Having battled her own demons, she’s not afraid to tackle the secrets women are forced to hide. After all, the road to love is paved in the dark.

Her friends describe her as delightfully twisted. She loves fan mail and wine. Please send her all the wine.
