She was never the target of a moment.

She was the target of a plan.

Someone has been running an operation against Andi Morgan since she was fifteen years old. She just didn’t know it until now.

With Luke in Las Vegas training for the most important fight of his career, Andi is alone in Atlanta — and the campaign against everything she’s built is accelerating. The pressure is institutional, precise, and coordinated in a way that goes beyond anything Jackson Rhoades could have engineered alone. The board. The audit. The donors who suddenly have concerns. Someone with thirty years of practice is running this playbook, and they know exactly how she thinks.

The closer she gets to the source, the more the people around her become part of the game.

The man she loves makes a critical decision about their life without her — one designed to protect her, using the exact tactic she’s spent her life fighting against. The distance between them becomes something neither of them knows how to close. And when a piece of documentation surfaces that connects everything she’s survived to a name she doesn’t recognize yet, the fight moves somewhere neither of them was prepared for.

Some operations don’t stop when the first threat is neutralized. This one has been running since before she can remember.

Go down swinging.

Split Decision is book two of the No Safe Corner series. Reading Low Blow first is strongly recommended.

New Release ~ Braxton ~ by ~ Kate Randall

♦ ♦ ♦

𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆. 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻.

𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮

When I landed in town to do my sadistic stepbrother’s bidding, I never imagined I’d

come face to face with the man I spent one unforgettable night with five years ago.

And I definitely didn’t expect him to be part of the MC I was sent here to spy on.

Still, I’m desperate to save my family and get us far away from the chaos that has

become our life. And this is my only way out.

When the club takes me in under false pretenses, I certainly never dreamed Braxton and

I would come crashing together like we had five years ago.

Or that the man I was sent to double-cross would be the one to consume my nights and

break down my walls, making me believe that maybe he’s the only man in this world I can have

faith in to get us all out alive.

𝗕𝗿𝗮𝘅𝘁𝗼𝗻

Our club is being attacked by an enemy who has escaped us too many times. I can’t

afford any distractions or one more complication in my carefully constructed world.

The last woman I expected to crash back into my life was the gorgeous blonde who

snuck out of my bed five years ago.

I never would have thought Vanessa would be the one to remind me life can be more

than protecting my brothers—that I can have more with her.

But she holds secrets that could destroy us, destroy my club.

And when they come to light, I have to make a choice—turn my back on her or show her

why I’m the nightmare her monsters should be terrified of.

Spotlight ~ Shamed ~ by ~ Rin Sher

Title: Shamed

Series: Broken Souls Series

Author: Rin Sher

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Forced Proximity; Slow Burn; Tortured Characters; Redemption; Protective Hero

Release Date: May 14, 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Review – “Honestly, this is one of the best books I’ve read this year. I really like books that pull on that raw emotion and that are unique stories. I feel like Rin Sher is always able to deliver in both of those areas.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Review – “What an absolutely epic conclusion to this series!…The sorrow, the tension, the angst, the emotion; everything culminated into my favourite story of the entire series! An absolute huge BRAVO to Rin Sher!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Review – “breathtaking, heartfelt, and unforgettable finale…Shamed by Rin Sher is an absolute emotional powerhouse and a stunning conclusion to the Broken Souls series.”

I sent an innocent man to prison.

For 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 I relived the events of that horrific night. A night that changed the course of my future and left me with the jagged pieces of a shattered mind and a broken soul.

For 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 I thought justice had been served, that the monster had gotten what he deserved.

Then the truth came crashing down.

And I realized, I wasn’t the victim at all . . .

I was the monster.

With guilt burrowing deep, eating away at my marrow, I disappeared into a darkness of my own making, punishing myself for every minute I roamed free, all while an innocent man remained locked behind bars. I traded the sunlight for the neon glare of the stage, and turned my body into a living reminder of my sins.

And then suddenly, he shows up.

A man tied to the worst mistake I ever made. A man who somehow reaches into the pit I dug for myself. A man who refuses to let me stay broken, trying to glue my fragments back together with kindness that cuts deeper than any blade.

He looks at me like I’m still worth loving.

But if he learns the truth—if he realizes the kind of person he’s falling for—will he still want me or will loving me be the biggest mistake he’s ever made?

Because monsters don’t get a happy ending . . . do they?

🚨 NOTE: This book contains triggers and they can be provided upon request.

I was born in Australia but now live in Canada where I have been since I was 19. I’ve always loved reading, but decided to try my hand at writing a few years back. I’ve currently written 7 books, however, my first 2 have been taken down for revisions and I’m updating them to my current writing style. I have several other WIPs on the go so there will be no shortage of stories to come!

I love coffee, sunshine, wine, a good laugh, and I love LOVE!! I’m always rooting for people to fall in love, whether it be in books, movies, or real life!

I was born in the Philippines, grew up in Papua New Guinea, and migrated to the US 11 years ago (after over 21 years of waiting for a visa). From experiencing living in a culture where cannibals were normal, to growing up in a culture where we’re taught to just appreciate what we have and just shake away the negative emotions, I feel like I have a lot of demons to fight that I’d love to put into stories. I’ve traveled a lot, having been to most of Asia and North America. With all of the experiences I have and the background I’ve come from, my entire life I’ve had to deal with mental health issues.

With regular therapy, a lot of self-reflection and acceptance of who I am and what my body allows me to have, and my love of writing, I’d like to write books that help women with managing their mental health, too.

Currently, I’m a UX content designer, writing content for software apps. I live in the mountains of Colorado with my husband, 2 dogs, and a cat.

Release Date: June 29, 2026

I spent years rebuilding myself after he destroyed me.

He doesn’t even remember my name.

The last person I expect to see lying ass-up on my waxing table after losing a bet is Vader Williams.

Unfortunately, the boy who made my high school years a living hell has grown into one of the most powerful men in New York.

Billionaire.

Former NHL star.

Professional heartbreaker.

And apparently, he has no memory of the girl he used to call ‘Phat-Ass Amy.’

Good.

Because while he’s busy handing me his personal number and inviting me into his world, I’m busy planning my revenge.

And when I discover cracks in his perfect public image, I decide to get close enough to expose him.

Very close.

There’s only one problem.

The man I’m getting to know isn’t the boy I remember. He’s smarter. Lonelier. More complicated than he has any right to be.

I tell myself it doesn’t matter, that revenge doesn’t care about chemistry.

But falling for him? That was never part of the plan.

Because what happens when the man you’re determined to destroy starts feeling like the one you were always meant to find?

Hate To Love Him is a scorching-hot, dual-POV contemporary romance featuring simmering tension and an enemies-to-lovers story where revenge burns hot, but passion burns hotter. Guaranteed HEA, no cliffhangers, and ALL the steam.

Broken Hacker Queen, He Breaks the Rules for Her

Found Family, Captive, Prospect Proving Himself

Release Date: June 24, 2026

BLURB

Abby was never meant to be found.

They called her Ghost. A hacker who slipped through systems, vanished without a trace… and trusted no one.

Until she disappeared for real.

Six months later, she turns up in the last place anyone would look; tied to a bed inside a Halloween haunted house, drugged, broken, and barely holding on.

And the man who finds her?

A prospect with everything to prove… and everything to lose.

Decker knows the rules. Prospects don’t go rogue. They don’t make personal calls. And they definitely don’t risk the club for a woman.

But the second he sees Abby, he doesn’t hesitate.

He breaks protocol, cuts her free, and brings her straight into Black Saints territory.

Now she’s under his watch, healing from addiction, and hunted by the men who took her.

And when she wakes up in the clubhouse, she doesn’t trust anyone… except for him.

Because Decker isn’t just watching over her, he’s waiting, learning everything about her and her captivity, and he’s counting every bruise, every scar, every second they stole from her.

When the time comes, the Black Saints won’t just protect their own; they’ll make sure no one ever touches her again.

She was supposed to be a ghost.

Now she’s the reason he’s ready to burn everything down.

Please note: This was previously released as Haunting the Prospect; it has been rewritten and re-edited.

Small Town, He Falls First, She Fights Her Feelings

Release Date: June 23, 2026

BLURB

Quinn

I have a thing for my best friend’s sister. Charli Miller has always been the woman to own my heart, despite the fact she doesn’t feel the same way. We’re oil and water, fire and ice. We butt heads at every turn, but I’d still do anything for her.

I wouldn’t deny her anything.

Which is why I don’t put a stop to the little arrangement we seem to fall into. Spending that time with her is better than anything I’ve ever experienced, but unfortunately, it makes me crave more. I’ve always wanted Charli, but now, I’m a determined man. Especially when she shocks me with big news.

She’s scared, but I’m ready to fight. Fight for us.

Charli

No one pushes my buttons like Quinn Garrison. He might possibly be the most infuriating man on the face of the planet, and since he’s my younger brother’s best friend, I can’t get away from him. He’s always there, and even when he’s being sweet and supportive, it just grates on my nerves.

Until one day, that irritation explodes.

What happens next wasn’t planned. It’s raw and fueled by years of emotions, and even though I swore it wouldn’t happen again, it does. I let him into my bed and, as time passes, I’m unable to keep him out of my heart. I want everything I didn’t even know I needed, and there’s no going back now.

Especially when I see those two pink lines…

Release Date: July 13, 2026

Cover Design: artscandare

Photographer: R plus M Photo

The moment I laid eyes on her as she dangled from a string of Christmas lights from her roof, I knew I was in trouble.

Gorgeous eyes, adorable smile, and a tenacity that I found oddly charming.

And so freaking sexy.

No woman should have that much power over a man. Yet, whenever I found myself around her, I couldn’t contain the need to kiss her, devour her…make her mine.

But this town is known for interfering and causing problems in even the smallest situations, which is why this has to stay a secret.

Every kiss, every second spent in her presence has to be between the two of us.

And yet, unforeseen circumstances force me to put myself out there even when I desperately just want room to recover from my injuries and discover who I am again.

I’ve seen the way she looks at me.

I’ve felt the way she shudders in my arms.

Rumor Has It, this isn’t going to turn out like I planned.

I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
