Charming Cupid (Steamy Weekends Book 1)

Author: Melanie Shawn

FREE

Contemporary Romance

Stand-alone Steamy Weekends romance, complete with HEA--and plenty of heat and heart along the way! 💕

Cooper Briggs

The minute I saw her in that heart-stopping red dress, I knew I’d do whatever it took to make her mine - even if it meant anonymously bidding on myself in the bachelor auction and then pulling strings to make sure that “she” won me. 🔥

Unfortunately, she didn’t seem to want anything to do with me after the auction, winning bid or not. Still, I’m looking at that as a minor setback. I didn’t settle for defeat when I was in the NFL, and I don’t plan on starting now. Not when the stakes are this high. 🏈

Dr. Vanessa Cupid

I’ve built a life and career by helping other people drop the walls they’ve built around their hearts and create true intimacy. The one thing I’ve never tried, though, is taking my own advice. I can’t risk letting anyone get too close. 💔

That’s never been a problem until now. But the minute Cooper Briggs kissed the back of my hand, I knew I was in trouble. He’s the first person I’ve ever met that might be able to threaten my carefully-guarded heart. 😍

For Coop and Vanessa, will one Steamy Weekend be enough to change everything? ✨

Why you’ll love this: Shawn delivers delicious irony with Dr. Vanessa Cupid (yes, really) who helps others find intimacy but guards her own heart like Fort Knox. Cooper secretly rigging a bachelor auction to win her is peak romance hero determination, and his NFL background explains his competitive “I don’t accept defeat” mindset. The therapist falling for someone who threatens her emotional walls creates perfect internal conflict. Standalone with HEA means you get complete satisfaction without cliffhangers. Perfect for fans of Helen Hoang or anyone who loves steamy contemporary romance where the hero’s grand gestures meet the heroine’s emotional barriers head-on. 🎯

Hard Code (Romcom Sibling Standalones)

Author: Misha Bell

FREE

Laugh-Out-Loud Workplace Romantic Comedy

My new assignment at work: test out toys. Yup, that kind. 😳

Well, technically, it’s to test the app that controls the toys remotely. 📱

One problem? The showgirl who’s supposed to test the hardware (as in, the actual toys) joins a nunnery. 😇

Another problem? This project is important to my Russian boss, the broody, mouthwateringly sexy Vlad, a.k.a. The Impaler. 🔥

There’s only one solution: test both the software and the hardware myself... with his help. 💻

NOTE: This is a standalone, raunchy, slow-burn romantic comedy featuring a quirky, nerdy heroine, her hot, mysterious Russian boss, and two guinea pigs who may or may not be into scissoring each other. If any of the above is not your cup of tea, run far, far away. Otherwise, buckle in for a snort-water-up-the-nose-funny, feel-good ride. 😂

One Testimonial: “Uplifting and lighthearted with sassy dialogue and delicious wit, this modern-day comedy will have you rolling around on the floor laughing. My top-of-the-list romcom for 2020!” - Charmaine Pauls, USA Today bestselling author 🌟

Bottom line: Bell takes a premise that could easily veer into cringe territory and makes it genuinely funny through quirky details (the showgirl joining a nunnery!) and slow-burn tension. The boss nicknamed “The Impaler” testing adult toys with his nerdy employee is comedy gold, and the guinea pig subplot promises absurdist humor. The USA Today bestseller testimonial and “snort-water-up-the-nose” promise signal laugh-out-loud delivery. Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren’s romcoms or readers who loved “The Hating Game” but want more steam and workplace shenanigans. The raunchy warning means this isn’t toned down—it’s unapologetically adult and hilarious. 🎉

Booked for Murder (Borrowed Pages Book 2)

Author: Maggie Benton

FREE

Cozy Mysteries

Libraries are wonderful places… That can get you booked. 📚

Autumn is arriving in Oliver’s Crossroads, high in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and with it, cooler weather, colorful fall leaves, and the annual Fall Festival. 🍂

Helen Bennett, director of the local public library, is happily breaking out her favorite cardigans and getting into the spirit of the season. The birding society is hosting its first ever Owl Prowl, so that festival goers can walk out into the woods after dark in the hopes of hearing the owls calling to one another. 🦉

Even more exciting, the library has been given a very valuable gift by a wealthy local family—a first edition copy of Henry M. Burberry’s Birds of the Americas. 📖

The book is worth millions, and Helen is thrilled to add such a treasure to the collection . . . but when it goes missing and a staff member is found murdered, she and the other birders will have another mystery to solve. 🔍

What makes this charming: Benton creates cozy perfection with Blue Ridge Mountains autumn setting, a librarian protagonist in cardigans, and a mystery centered around a million-dollar rare book about birds. The Owl Prowl adds atmospheric nighttime intrigue, and the birding society involvement gives Helen built-in amateur detective colleagues. The pun-tastic title and “booked for murder” tagline promise wordplay alongside whodunit. Perfect for fans of Ellery Adams or Jenn McKinlay—readers who want their mysteries wrapped in fall festivals, small-town charm, and book-loving communities where librarians solve crimes between Dewey Decimal duties. 🍁

Dating Dracula (Dating Monsters Book 1)

Author: Kinsley Adams

FREE

Fated Mates Vampire Romance

The Legend. The Immortal. My … Soulmate? 🧛

Yesterday, I was a wannabe journalist chasing an exposé on illegal vampire blood farms, until a blood-drunk monster dragged me into an alleyway and left me for dead. 😱

Except, fate had other plans. And now, I’m the newest member of the undead country club—fangs, coffin, and all. ⚰️

Who might you ask is the man responsible for saving me? Dracula. 🦇

Yes, the centuries-old, charismatic, and absurdly handsome Dracula. He’s not just a vampire, he’s the vampire—a legend wrapped in an enigma with a seductive smile and hypnotic eyes that are impossible to ignore. Especially when he claims I’m his soulmate. 💕

And if that isn’t enough, I still have to track down the fanged fiend responsible for “murdering” me in the first place, all while resisting an unquenchable thirst for blood and the pull of my mate’s irresistible charms. 🔥

Romance was never part of my life plans, but try telling that to destiny. Turns out Dracula may be my Mr. Right after all. I just need to stay alive—well, undead—long enough to sink my teeth into our forever. 😍

Why this bites (in a good way): Adams goes straight to the source—not some random vampire, but THE Dracula claiming the journalist heroine as his soulmate. The investigative reporter background gives the heroine agency beyond just swooning over the legendary vampire, and still hunting her actual killer while learning to be undead provides plot beyond just romance. The “undead country club” humor and “sink my teeth into our forever” puns promise this doesn’t take itself too seriously. Perfect for fans of Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark or readers who want their vampire romance with fated mates intensity, murder mystery stakes, and a heroine who didn’t plan on immortality but is making it work. 🌙

Follow Elizabeth Bennet, sharp-tongued and independent, as she navigates love, class, and misunderstanding in Regency England.

Love in a Small Town (Pine Harbour Book 1)

Author: Zoe York

FREE

Contemporary Romance

Are they one late-night hayride away from tumbling back into a very bad idea? 🌾

Olivia Minelli needs a one-way ticket out of Pine Harbour. It’s too small for both her and her ex-husband. So when a new job falls into her lap, she grabs it with both hands. 💼 When this contract is complete, she’ll have enough money saved up to leave town for good. Which means settling some unresolved business with the only man she’s ever truly loved, once and for all. 💔

Rafe Minelli knows he won’t get a second chance at what he once had with his ex-wife. The demands of his double career—as a police officer and military reservist—were a dealbreaker when they were together. And he’s thrilled for her new opportunity. 🚔 But with it comes a ticking clock that forces both of them to address the smouldering embers of a connection that just won’t go away.

They aren’t the same young kids who rushed into marriage the first time. But as summer slides into fall, Rafe sets out to prove he’s a changed man before he loses her forever. One hayride at a time. 🍂

Why this works: York delivers second-chance romance with real obstacles—Rafe’s dual career demands weren’t just misunderstanding but actual incompatibility that ended their marriage. Both still sharing a last name (Minelli) adds small-town complication, and the ticking clock (Olivia’s leaving when the contract ends) creates urgency beyond just emotional readiness. The “one hayride at a time” detail promises small-town charm and incremental relationship rebuilding rather than instant reconciliation. Perfect for fans of Susan Mallery or Jill Shalvis—readers who want their contemporary romance grounded in real relationship work, small-town settings, and protagonists mature enough to have grown since their first attempt. 💕

Emma Lee’s granny being prime suspect in her arch-nemesis’s murder adds family drama alongside supernatural hijinks, and Sheriff Jack Henry Ross being Emma Lee’s high school crush provides romantic tension. Ruthie Sue refusing to cross over until her murder is solved gives the ghost agency beyond just exposition device.

Wind Chime Cafe (A Wind Chime Novel Book 1)

Author: Sophie Moss

FREE

Small Town Romance

USA Today bestselling and multi-award winning novel! 🌟

If you listen to the sound of the wind, it will always lead you home... 🌊

When single mother Annie Malone purchases a café on Heron Island, she thinks she’s finally turned her dream of opening her own restaurant into a reality. Hearing rumors that a developer is about to build a five-star resort on the sleepy Chesapeake Bay island, she plans to transform the café into a premier upscale bistro. 🍽️ But Annie’s life is about to get a lot more complicated.

Back on Heron Island for the first time in ten years, Navy SEAL Will Dozier has no intention of selling his grandparents’ property to a developer. 💪 As he works on renovating the house and trying to find another buyer, he’s forced to face a painful reality—that he’s secretly struggling with PTSD. Determined to hide his troubles from the rest of the islanders, Will decides that a fling with the new girl is the perfect way to help him “get his head straight.”

The last thing Will expects is to fall in love…with his hometown and with Annie. But Will’s life and career are in San Diego with the SEALs. 💔 Can Annie’s love and the healing magic of the island be enough to convince him to stay? 💕

Why this resonates: Moss tackles PTSD in military romance without making it the entire story—Will’s using a fling to “get his head straight” while secretly struggling shows realistic avoidance coping. Annie’s single mom entrepreneurship grounds her beyond just love interest, and their conflicting goals (she wants upscale development, he’s fighting development) creates external conflict alongside emotional wounds. The Chesapeake Bay island setting and “healing magic” suggest women’s fiction depth beneath the romance. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber or Susan Wiggs—readers who want their small-town romance with military heroes confronting real trauma, heroines building businesses and lives, and island communities that nurture healing. The USA Today bestseller and awards validate quality. 🏝️

The Problem: The second I meet Valentina Ford, she kisses me. And I know nothing about this case is going to be easy. 💋

I’m Sam Valenti. The eldest of the Valenti Four. Yes, I have three other brothers who are even crazier and hotter-headed than me. 🔥 The teachers just loved us in school. I run The Valenti Brothers Fix-It agency. There is no problem too big or small that we won’t attempt to fix. I’ve found cheating husbands, lost dogs, and even procured a recipe book from a little old lady for a large culinary corporation. 🕵️

But now I’ve gotten my weirdest case yet. I have to date an impertinent sassy brunette. But there’s a twist, I have to be the biggest jerk she’s ever dated. It’s an unusual case, for sure, but one that I’m willing to take on, for the money he’s offering. It should be a piece of cake. 💰

Paranormal Witches & Wizards Romance

Fun fact, they’re still running witches out Salem, even in the twenty-first century. 🧹 So, after being chased from their home by people with actual pitchforks, the LaFey triplets have settled down in a small town in northern Michigan. 🔱

Unfortunately, the saying is true. There’s no rest for the wicked…witches. ✨

Mindi – All I wanted was a normal life. And I thought we’d finally found that here. I got a job at the local elementary school and was just about settled when a new principal came in, looking to shake things up. 🏫

I’m shook alright. There’s something going on with this guy that I just can’t put my talon on. His wolfish grin, devilish good looks and snake like charm are all adding up to no good. 🐺

Booker – They say trouble always comes in threes, and from where I’m sitting, the LaFey Triplets are nothing but, with a capital T. Especially the school’s kindergarten teacher, Mindi. 👩‍🏫

I’d thought I was escaping my curse by running away to this scenic town in the middle of nowhere. But now I can’t shake the feeling that something wicked this way comes. 💀

Why this enchants: Rebel opens with actual pitchforks chasing witches in modern Salem—bold start establishing stakes immediately. The LaFey triplets (Arthurian legend reference) settling in Michigan gives Great Lakes paranormal vibes rarely explored. Mindi’s “can’t put my talon on” slip and describing Booker’s “wolfish grin, devilish good looks, snake like charm” suggests he’s literally shifter/demon hybrid creating species tension. Both running from something (she from Salem, he from a curse) means dual mysteries colliding. Perfect for fans of Annette Marie or anyone wanting paranormal romance where kindergarten teachers are secretly witches, small-town Michigan harbors supernatural refugees, and trouble literally comes in threes. 🌙

Fueling the hysteria are rumours of a Catholic plot to assassinate the king. Orchestrated by Titus Oates, its validity seems confirmed when prominent magistrate, Sir Edmund Godfrey is brutally murdered and his body thrown into a ditch. 💀

Nathaniel Thompson, close ally to the king, is certain Oates’ claims are a hoax. He is determined to expose Oates as the traitor he truly is. 🔍

Korean War History

Based on unpublished first-hand accounts of the battle, this is a dramatic retelling of the desperate Battle of the Chosin Reservoir, where the heavily outnumbered US 1st Marine Division held off vastly superior Chinese forces before successfully withdrawing in good order. 🎖️

In November 1950 The US 1st Marine Division was trapped in the Chosin Reservoir following the intervention of Red China in the Korean War. Fought during the worst blizzard in a century, the ensuing battle is considered by the United States Marine Corps to be ‘the Corps’ Finest Hour.’ ❄️ The soldiers who fought there would later become known as the ‘Frozen Chosen’.

This incredible story is based on first hand interviews from surviving veterans, telling of heroism and bravery in the face of overwhelming odds, as a handful of Marines fought desperately against wave after wave of Chinese forces. 💪 Sometimes forced into desperate hand to hand combat, the fighting retreat from Chosin marked one of the darkest moments for Western forces in Korea, but would go on to resonate with generations of Marines as a symbol of the Marine Corps’ dogged determination, fighting skill, and never-say-die attitude on the battlefield. 🦅

What makes this essential: Cleaver draws from unpublished first-hand veteran accounts, giving this immediacy beyond sanitized official histories. The Chosin Reservoir battle (outnumbered Marines fighting in worst-century blizzard conditions) represents military history at its most desperate and heroic—the “Frozen Chosen” nickname captures both literal freezing temperatures and the Corps’ pride in those who fought there.

Exit Strategy: A Reacher Novel

Author: Lee Child & Andrew Child

NEW RELEASE

War & Military Action Fiction

Jack Reacher will make three stops today. Not all of them were planned for. The page-turning new Jack Reacher thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling authors Lee Child and Andrew Child. 🎯

Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher! 📺

First—a Baltimore coffee shop. A seat in the corner, facing the door. Black coffee, two refills, no messing around. ☕ A minor interruption from two of the customers, but nothing he can’t deal with swiftly. As he leaves, a young guy brushes against him in the doorway. Instinctively Reacher checks the pocket holding his cash and passport. There’s no problem. Nothing is missing.

Second—a store to buy a coat. Nothing fancy. Something he can ditch when he heads to warmer climates. Large enough to fit a man the size of a bank vault. 🧥 As he pulls out his cash, he finds something new in his pocket. A handwritten note. A desperate plea for help. 📝

Third—wherever this bend in the road takes him. Impressed by the guy’s technique and intrigued by the message, Reacher makes it his mission to find out more . . 🛣️

Why this delivers: The Child brothers (Lee and Andrew co-writing since Lee’s partial retirement) maintain Reacher’s appeal—coffee shop tactical positioning, instant threat assessment, coat “large enough to fit a man the size of a bank vault” humor. The pickpocket planting a plea for help instead of stealing creates intriguing hook, and Reacher respecting the technique before investigating shows his professional appreciation for skill. The streaming series success means new readers discovering the books. Perfect for Reacher fans wanting the latest adventure or action thriller readers who love protagonists with military precision, moral codes, and willingness to help strangers. The three-stop structure promises tightly plotted page-turner. 💪

The Black Wolf: A Novel (Chief Inspector Gamache Novel Book 20)

Author: Penny, Louise

NEW RELEASE

International Mystery & Crime

The 20th mystery in the #1 New York Times-bestselling Armand Gamache series.

Somewhere out there, in the darkness, a black wolf is feeding.

Several weeks ago, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec and his team uncovered and stopped a domestic terrorist attack in Montréal, arresting the person behind it. A man they called the Black Wolf.

But their relief is short-lived. In a sickening turn of events, Gamache has realized that plot, as horrific as it was, was just the beginning. Perhaps even a deliberate misdirection. One he fell into. Something deeper and darker, more damaging, is planned. Did he in fact arrest the Black Wolf, or are they still out there? Armand is appalled to think his mistake has allowed their conspiracy to grow, to gather supporters. To spread lies, manufacture enemies, and feed hatred and division.

Still recovering from wounds received in stopping the first attack, Armand is confined to the village of Three Pines, leading a covert investigation from there. He must be careful not to let the Black Wolf know he has recognized his mistake. In a quiet church basement, he and his senior agents Beauvoir and Lacoste, pore over what little evidence they have. Two notebooks. A few mysterious numbers on a tattered map of Québec. And a phrase repeated by the person they had called the Grey Wolf. A warning…

In a dry and parched land where there is no water.

Author: Karen Kingsbury

NEW RELEASE

Christian Romance

See the movie in theaters beginning November 6--starring Kelsey Grammer, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Jana Kramer, and Jessie James Decker! 🎬

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 💍

While searching for her family’s long-lost heirloom ring, military widow Vanessa Mayfield meets handsome antique dealer Ben Miller. The two are drawn to each other and forge a friendship that soon becomes a deep and breathtaking romance. 💕 But neither are sure that what they’ve found can last.

As Vanessa organizes her annual Columbus Cares Christmas Military Dance, she looks forward to her daughter’s return from college. 🎄 But Vanessa hasn’t told Sadie about Ben. After all, Vanessa hadn’t anticipated finding love again after losing her husband. And now she wrestles with feelings that are becoming hard to ignore.

Just as Ben is about to declare his love for Vanessa, he learns more about her missing Christmas ring: her great grandfather found it in France on D-Day, and engraved on the band is a single meaningful word. 🎖️ The details confirm a terrible truth, one that Ben cannot ignore.

Certain he now knows where Vanessa’s ring is, Ben leaves town in a frantic rush. But can he stop a certain sale, or will Vanessa’s ring be lost forever? 🏃 Days before Christmas, when all seems hopeless, Ben and Vanessa learn an important eternal truth: Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ✨

Why this charms: Kingsbury (queen of Christian inspirational fiction) creates perfect holiday romance elements—military widow finding unexpected love, lost family heirloom with D-Day history, antique dealer who discovers devastating truth about the ring. The movie adaptation (Kelsey Grammer, Jana Kramer) releasing in theaters signals major production backing this story. The ring’s engraving revealing “terrible truth” Ben can’t ignore creates mystery alongside romance, and Christmas deadline adds urgency. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber or Hallmark movie viewers who want their holiday romance with Christian themes, military appreciation, and stories where faith and love intersect. The “where your treasure is” biblical theme promises spiritual depth beyond just romance. 🎁
