BLURB

A thousand years of existence, and I’ve felt nothing.

No spark. No hunger beyond blood. No purpose outside protecting my brothers in the Eternal Sins MC.

A club of monsters pretending we’re just bikers—dragons, lycans, necromancers, warlocks, shifters, and more. Creatures bound together by secrecy and survival. We’ve built something here—a fortress, a family, forged from beings the world would burn if it ever learned the truth.

Then she walks into my bar.

Sloane doesn’t belong in my world. She’s human, fragile, and carrying a weight in her eyes that tells me she’s already survived too much. I should keep my distance, let her live her life untouched by monsters like me.

Instead, my Bloodfire stirs for the first time in centuries.

Wanting her is reckless. Claiming her would be unforgivable. And yet every instinct I have tells me she’s already bound to this world, whether she knows it or not.

When violence comes for her, everything changes. Lines are crossed, laws are broken, and ancient powers take notice.

I’ve spilled blood for my club. I’ve buried enemies without regret. But protecting Sloane means defying forces that don’t forgive, and won’t forget.

Because loving her may cost me my brothers, my freedom…

And the woman she still is.

But protecting Sloane might mean losing her to the monster she’s becoming.

From USA Today Bestselling Authors K E Osborn and Kathleen Kelly comes Bloodfire Rising.

Immortal bikers. Supernatural bonds. Dark romance that defies death. Where monsters find family, ancient vampires discover what it means to feel, and one woman’s awakening power threatens to destroy or save them all.

This is book one of the Eternal Sins MC Series.

Excerpt Reveal ~ Crooked ~ by ~ Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

Title: Crooked

Authors: Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: March 29, 2026

Take a sneak peek at CROOKED.

You know you want to…

“Sorry for making up that story,” he said. “But I didn’t know what else to tell him. Wasn’t like I could admit the real reason I’m here looking out for you.”

I crossed my arms. “Maybe you should’ve, and he could’ve carted you away, so I don’t have to deal with any of this.”

“Now, now. Is that how you talk to your loving boyfriend?” He winked.

“Please don’t repeat that.” Especially in that annoyingly seductive voice.

“Well, you don’t think at some point we’re gonna have to pretend to be something to each other? People are going to wonder who the hell I am. How else are you going to explain me, if I’m not your boyfriend?”

“I’m hoping not to have to explain you at all because I’m counting on this arrangement ending soon.”

“Well, if you’d let me sleep inside like you should’ve, I wouldn’t have attracted the neighbor’s attention.”

“I will admit that making you sleep outside was a mistake, in hindsight.” I rubbed my pounding temples. “Do you want some coffee? I need to get a cup before my head explodes.”

He smiled wide. “I would love some.”

God, those dimples.

Had they been there yesterday?

Of course they had.

Again, I needed coffee.

After I filled two mugs, I handed him one. “As you just saw, my neighbor is very nosy. You need to keep a low profile. That means no hanging around outside my house unless absolutely necessary. She’ll try to talk to you.”

“I’ll be fine if she does. I’m a pretty good liar.”

“How commendable.”

He shrugged. “I don’t make a habit of it. But in this business, you have to be able to stretch the truth with a straight face.”

Putting my coffee down, I crossed my arms. “We have to set some ground rules.”

Wes grinned from behind his mug. “Okay…”

He’d better be taking this seriously. I took another long sip of coffee. “One, you have to sleep on the couch. I only have one bedroom. So…”

“All right. I was expecting that. No big deal. I’ve slept on worse things.”

“Not even gonna ask.” I sighed. “Also, no walking around without your clothes on.”

Wes raised a brow and laughed. “Why would I do that?”

“I don’t know. You seem like the type who might be comfortable enough in your skin to want to flaunt it or something. Just letting you know I won’t appreciate that.”

“No naked ass. Got it.” He nodded. “What else?”

“No eating anything in my refrigerator that belongs to me. I just went to Erewhon to stock up. Practically spent a week’s salary.” I opened the fridge and began moving my items to the right, leaving spots on the left of the top two shelves empty. “You can keep your stuff on this side.”

“How generous of you…” He grinned.

I tilted my head. “Are you mocking me?”

“No.” He pursed his lips, probably to keep from laughing.

I sighed. Maybe I did need to calm down. This situation was making me more high-strung than usual.

After a moment, he asked, “Are you done?”

“I’ll let you know if I think of anything else.”

“Look…” he said. “I don’t wanna be here any more than you want me here. So let’s just try to make the best of it.”

“We don’t need to make the best of it. We need to stay out of each other’s way and not make each other insane.” I downed the last of my cup of joe.

Wes’s expression dampened. Had I hurt his feelings? This situation stressed me out and made me less than pleasant. My father’s antics brought out the worst in me. I felt like I needed a time out.

On that note, I took my own advice and ventured back to my room to have my second cup of coffee in peace.

When I walked back out into the living room about fifteen minutes later, my jaw dropped. It was like I’d walked onto the set of Love Island. Wes was sitting on the couch with his feet up on the ottoman—shirtless, with every beautiful contour of his bronzed chest on full display.

What. The. Heck. I gulped. “What are you doing?”

He stood, looking confused. “What do you mean? I’m just sitting here.”

“You’ve only been here a matter of minutes, and you’ve already broken a rule.” I scoffed. “The most important one, I might add.”

He drew in his brows. “What rule?”

I glared. “Naked?”

He looked down at his chest. “I’m not naked.”

“You took your shirt off.”

“That’s shirtless. Not naked. You say naked, and I think…junk hanging out. This is not naked.”

I shook my head. “You need to wear a shirt in this house.”

He stalked toward me. “It’s hot as Hades in here. Does your air conditioner even work?”

“I don’t like it too cold. I freeze easily.”

“I guess that’s what happens to people who are already cold enough.”

As he stood there with his hands on his hips, I did feel oddly warm, actually. And it had nothing to do with the air-conditioner setting.

He smirked. A chill ran down my spine.

F*ck. Those dimples.

I’m going to kill my father for hiring this guy.

Book Tour ~ Legacy of Leather and Lace ~ by ~ Lilly Atlas

Title: Legacy of Leather and Lace

Series: Hell’s Handlers MC 2nd Generation

Author: Lilly Atlas

Genre: MC Romance

Tropes: Touch Her and Die; Forced Proximity; Hurt/comfort; MC President’s Daughter; Found Family

Release Date: March 17, 2026

Beth Daniels grew up in the morally gray world of the Hell’s Handlers Motorcycle Club. Daughter of a legacy, surrounded by overprotective alpha bikers and fierce women who never backed down, she’s spent her whole life trying to prove she’s more than an MC princess. Smart, stubborn, and desperate to carve out her own identity, she left home determined to stand on her own. But independence comes at a price, and by the time she admits needing her family isn’t weakness, she’s trapped in a nightmare relationship that shatters her confidence and breaks something deep inside.

Saint knows what true darkness looks like. Raised in a militant cult, he learned early how to protect the vulnerable and fight with everything he has for the people he loves. As the second oldest of many siblings, responsibility is etched into his bones. So when he finds Beth in danger, he doesn’t hesitate; he pulls her out and becomes the one steady place in her crumbling world. And somewhere between watching over her and trying to keep his distance, the attraction he swore he’d never feel ignites.

She’s younger. She’s his president’s daughter. She already left the club once.
Wanting her isn’t just reckless, it’s dangerous.

As one of her father’s men, Saint is off-limits. Crossing that line could cost him everything, including the family he’s chosen. Beth refuses to be the reason Saint loses the brotherhood that saved him. But some connections are too strong to deny, and some temptations refuse to be ignored.

When enemies surface with Beth in their crosshairs, the biker who promised to stay away becomes the only man capable of burning the world down to keep her safe. And Beth, tired of being protected, tired of being told who she can be and who she can love, finally chooses her own life and her own man.

Their chemistry is wildfire.
Their secrets are landmines.
And loving a Hell’s Handler has never come without a price.

Camryn
We were oil and water the first time we met, and nothing has changed. He’s my sister’s ex, and the

father of her child he claims he didn’t know about.

Now he thinks he has every right to take my niece from me, and the only way I can be a part of her

life is to live with the one person who gets under my skin simply by breathing.

He’s crass, arrogant, and completely off-limits.

But someone needs to tell that to the butterflies that explode in me every time he turns his

devastating smile in my direction. The heat building between us is more than fiery disdain, and that’s something neither of us are prepared for, but we can’t seem to escape.

Now I’m wondering if the cocky boy I knew has turned into a brave man who stays and protects what’s his.

I left my hometown in the rearview and never looked back, until a girl shows up at my clubhouse and

claims she’s my daughter.

When her aunt practically barrels through the gates searching for her niece, I’m left with

only one option—play nice with Camryn Fuller or risk alienating my daughter.

Easier said than done.

I’m stuck living with a woman who’s constantly looking over my shoulder, waiting for me to mess up.

When I do, it isn’t with my kid. It’s with her feisty aunt and a moment when I should have walked away

instead of kissing the hell out of her.

And I can’t bring myself to regret it.

Now, a ghost from my past has set his sights on taking my daughter, throwing our fresh start into

utter chaos.

He thinks I’m the same scared kid he got rid of all those years ago, but I’ll show him that I’ve

turned into the man he should be afraid of this time around.

FBI Agent Heroine, Small Town, Undercover

Release Date: March 24, 2026

BLURB

Alex “Ghost” Bishop doesn’t let people in. Not after a childhood spent isolated and alone, forced to survive on his own terms. Trust is a weapon that can be turned against you, and love is a distraction he can’t afford. His team is everything. Everyone else is a risk.

So when FBI agent Diana Corbin pushes her way into his operation, he resents every moment of it—even when he can’t stop thinking about her.

Diana learned the hard way that trust is dangerous. The people you believe will protect you can destroy you instead. She’s built her life on proving herself, on never needing anyone, on keeping the world at a careful distance. She doesn’t have time for a man who makes her want things she can’t have.

But when they find each other undercover in an operation neither should be running, something shifts. Working together becomes inevitable. The denial becomes harder to maintain. And the pull between them—electric, indisputable, terrifying—won’t be ignored.

As the mission spirals into danger and their secrets threaten to unravel everything, Alex and Diana discover that sometimes the only person you can trust is the one person you swore you never would. And that love isn’t a weakness—it’s the only thing that might save them.

New Release ~ Burning Vengeance ~ by ~ Tricia T. LaRochelle

Natalie Dugan thought starting a cleaning business would bring freedom, not danger. Between caring for her sick mother and juggling new clients, she has no time for romance—until she meets Aaron Marino, a scarred ex-firefighter who makes her question everything. When a series of suspicious fires spreads through their Virginia town, suspicion falls on every man around her, leaving Natalie to unravel a deadly mystery before vengeance consumes them all. Readers who enjoy high-stakes and forced proximity romances will devour Burning Vengeance by Tricia T. LaRochelle, a small-town, fireman romantic suspense.

Blurb

When Natalie Dugan trades spreadsheets for scrub brushes, she hopes her new cleaning business will give her independence—and the chance to care for her ailing mother. Love isn’t on her agenda, but everything changes when she meets Aaron Marino, a reclusive ex-firefighter scarred by the blaze that nearly claimed his life.

As a string of suspicious fires threatens their quaint Virginia town, every man in Natalie’s orbit becomes a suspect: her hard-working new boyfriend, her mother’s unfairly maligned partner, her unsettling neighbor, and even Aaron himself. But the closer Natalie gets to Aaron, the harder it is to ignore the spark that refuses to extinguish.

When the truth behind the fires finally ignites, Natalie will have to confront betrayal, vengeance, and danger that hits far too close to home. Survival—and love—depend on whether she can brave the flames of the past … before they consume her.

Excerpt

“Okay, time to go to work.”

A headline flashed on the screen of my phone as I was exiting my vehicle.

Authorities investigating a series of fires in the local area, one linked to a commercial public warehouse in eastern Charlottesville. Two men in the hospital due to smoke inhalation. No fatalities. Authorities suspect arson.

“A series. Arson?” I mumbled to myself. I thought about Dr. Clark’s brother-in-law. “What kind of idiot would start a fire on purpose? You have to be absolutely nuts to do something like that.”

My jaw clenched thinking about all the casualties, not to mention the men and women who had risked their lives to stop the insanity. It never ceased to amaze me how destructive certain people could be.

I thought about that fire that broke out at my mother’s old neighbor’s gift shop last week. Bea and Nigel were nearing retirement and had just put the place up for sale. They lost all their inventory in that blaze. At least the fire hadn’t injured anyone. Bea had told my mom that she swore she had seen a dark, hooded figure in the woods nearby on the night of the fire. Was the person watching the place? Bea and Nigel were careful people. They didn’t smoke or take unnecessary risks. A late-night call had informed them that their place was now a pile of rubble . . . charred rubble. Baffled didn’t begin to describe it. I hoped they had insurance.

I strolled up the walkway covered in light-and-dark gray pavers toward a porch supported by square pillars and anchored by natural stone accents. The shining sun gleamed against the beveled sidelights as I rang the doorbell and waited. It wasn’t long before footfalls approached, the door swinging open to reveal a tall man donning strawberry-blond hair with a slight curl to it. A trimmed beard of the same shade revealed a few wisps of white that implied Aaron was probably older than I was, but not by much, his face relatively free of wrinkles.

My pulse ramped. Every cell in my body went berserk.

The thin red-and-black flannel shirt Aaron wore did little to hide the robust shoulders of this guy or his pectorals. And I had thought Justin was in shape. His faded jeans hung casually from his hips and toned waistline. White socks covered his feet. His amber eyes emphasized warm honey with a slight slant in a Ryan Gosling sort of way, his lips full, and his overall facial structure rather scrumptious. If this guy wanted to abduct me, I’d have a difficult time putting up a fight. Not really, but man. How many men and women had he rescued in a fire who were swooning over him still?

Zing. I felt it. As though an electrical shock had zapped me.

Suddenly, I wished I had put on makeup. Damn. My hair was back up in a neat ponytail, but my outfit was about as unflattering as it got: bright-orange sneakers and scrubs in pale yellow with a doggy print splattered all over them.

♦ ♦ ♦

A forbidden Russian mafia romance between a powerful Pakhan and the woman who refuses to surrender.

Carter wants one thing above all else: freedom. But with an overprotective father controlling every part of her life, freedom feels impossible until she meets his mysterious new boss.

Vladimir Ivanov is commanding, generous, and impossibly alluring. A powerful Russian billionaire with striking blue eyes and tattoos that whisper danger steps into Carter’s world and takes control. At first, he feels like a savior. When her family faces financial ruin, Vladimir offers protection—and Carter is drawn to him in all the wrong ways.

Behind her father’s back, Carter slips into Vladimir’s world of privilege and peril. What begins as fascination turns into obsession. And once Vladimir sets his sights on her, walking away is no longer an option.

Vladimir reigns as the Pakhan of the Russian Bratva, a man forged in a Siberian prison, every tattoo on his skin earned in blood. He watches Carter. Protects her. Controls her. When a man from her past threatens her, Vladimir intervenes—and Carter learns that being under his protection means surrendering far more than she ever intended.

She thought her Russian hero saved her life until she learns the truth—he owns her.

𝘙𝘶𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘛𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘴: 𝘖𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 is a slow-burn Russian mafia dark romance where desire feels like captivity, loyalty is currency, and the twist at the end will leave you breathless.
