What do a widowed Viking werewolf and a witch with trust issues have in common? A fake engagement, obviously!

Arlo

So, asking the grumpy wolf shifter who rejected me in front of his whole family to be my fake fiancé wasn’t my best idea. Sue me. I need to convince my family werewolves can be trusted if I want the last ingredient for my potion. Gunnar needs this potion as much as I do, or he will go berserk and become a danger to himself and others.

All we need to do is pretend to be madly in love. Should be easy, except for the fact that I’m pretty sure I’m in actual love with Gunnar. I swore I’d never trust werewolves again, not after what they did to me, but with every touch of his hand (and Goddess, those kisses!), I fall harder.

Gunnar has made it clear there’s no room in his heart for anyone but the family he loved and lost.

He’ll never love me the way I want him to. This is fake.

Right?

Passion of a Wolf is the fourth and final book in the Viking Wolves series and features a sassy boar familiar, fake dates and fake kisses, cake-tastings gone wrong, a possessive and protective Viking werewolf who definitely isn’t in love with a snarky witch, and an emotional Happy-Ever-After in a barn nestled in the English countryside.

When Alyssa gets an invite to her best friend/hopeless crush’s wedding, she enlists the help of Jeff, her best friend’s hot but highly anxious brother, to join a ‘plus one pact’ and get them both through wedding season in one piece.

And she channels that love into writing happy ever afters where people are loved because of, not in spite of, the things they see as their flaws. She is the winner of the 2024 RWA Golden Heart Award, and her short fiction has been featured in several anthologies and magazines. Suzy lives and writes in central Massachusetts, and does, in fact, run on Dunkin’.

They say Grant Corbin’s death was just a bad ride.
I know better.

So, I lie my way onto the Southwest Circuit, posing as a journalist while I hunt for the truth behind my brother’s murder.

What I find instead is Colt Holloway.
Grant’s best friend.
The last man I should want.

Dark. Dangerous. Riding like he’s got nothing left to lose.

Colt already knows Grant was murdered. He’s been trying to prove it for weeks, chasing whispers about drugged bulls, stolen prize money, and a powerful man hiding behind the circuit’s biggest events.

Getting close to Colt is dangerous.
Lying to him is worse.

Because the deeper we dig, the uglier the truth becomes.

Fixed rides. Corrupt officials. Bulls turned into weapons.
And someone willing to kill anyone who gets too close.

The heat between us burns just as hard as the danger closing in—raw, reckless, impossible to resist.

But when Colt learns who I really am…

It won’t just destroy the investigation.

It might destroy us, too.

If steamy alpha males, curvy heroines, and just the right amount of paranormal growl are your thing—meet your new favorite author: Delta James.

A USA Today bestselling queen of romantic suspense and paranormal heat, Delta writes fast-paced, heart-racing, panty-melting stories featuring strong women, dominant men, and more than a few fated mates. Whether it’s shifters howling in the wild or billionaires brooding in boardrooms, her books always bring the spice.

Delta didn’t grow up dreaming of writing romance. In fact, she launched her author career in 2018 after deciding her second act in life needed more passion… and possibly more bite. Since then? She’s published dozens of books across series like Wayward Mates, Otter Cove Shifters, Club Southside, Tangled Vines, and Mystic River Shifters—each one a decadent dive into danger, desire, and often, some well-placed discipline.

She lives in Florida with her pack of loyal basset hounds (aka editors with long ears and zero chill), and when she’s not writing steamy scenes or plotting revenge for her latest heroine, she’s probably riding horses, walking the beach, or white-water rafting—because why not?

She was supposed to be a pawn. Now I’ll burn down the world to keep her safe.

I thought I knew what evil looked like.

I was wrong.

For years, I believed Victor Kane was the monster at the center of everything…

The man pulling strings, destroying lives, and hunting the people I love.

I was prepared to burn down the world to stop him.

But Victor was only a distraction.

The truth is darker. Older. More sinister.

And it’s been watching me far longer than I ever realized.

Now Ariana is caught in the crosshairs of something far bigger than revenge.

Something that doesn’t just want power.

It wants obedience. Devotion. Sacrifice.

I’ve hunted monsters my entire life.

But this time, the monster isn’t in the shadows.

He’s been standing beside me all along.

The Chosen is the epic conclusion to The Hunter Trilogy, a dark captive romance. Grab your copy today.

New Release ~ Tate ~ by ~ J.A. Collard

Title: Tate

Series: Sinners MC Book 1

Author: J.A. Collard

Genre: MC Romance; Contemporary Romance; Romantic Suspense

Tropes: Slow Burn; Forbidden Romance; Grief Romance; Forced Proximity; Brothers Girl; Alpha Hero; Protector Romance

Release Date: July 16, 2026

I’m the President of the Sinners Motorcycle Club — one of the youngest in the country. I didn’t get here by accident. I got here because I’m the man people turn to when things need doing. The man who keeps his word.

My best friend and brother died protecting me. His last words were a promise he asked me to keep — look after his woman, Sophia.

Simple enough. Except Sophia is a thorn in my side.

She was supposed to go home, grieve, and get on with her life. Instead she keeps turning up at the Blood Brothers clubhouse like she can hold onto him if she just stays close enough to where he used to be. I get it. I do. But that’s not a life — and I owe my brother more than letting her disappear into one.

So I bring her home. Keep her close. Keep my promise.

What I didn’t plan for was her.

The way she fits into my house, my mornings, my life — like she was always supposed to be there. The way I find myself watching the door when she’s out too late. The way something shifts inside me that has no business shifting at all.

I want her. God help me, I want her.

And that changes everything.

TATE — Sinners MC Book One. A slow burn MC romance about loyalty, grief, and a love that was never supposed to happen.

J.A. Collard is a Melbourne-based author setting hearts (and eReaders) on fire with her steamy, addictive MC romance series, Blood Brothers MC.

A proud Aussie mum by day and a passionate storyteller by night, she’s the queen of badass bikers, fiery heroines, and stories that keep readers up way past bedtime.

J.A. married her high school sweetheart, and together they’re raising two amazing kids—proof that soulmates and happily-ever-after’s exist, both on and off the page.

Her debut novel Tame Me burst onto the scene in 2016, quickly followed by Tamed and Taming Hawke, which all climbed to the top of the charts and built a fiercely loyal fanbase of romance lovers who can’t get enough of her raw emotion, sizzling tension, and that signature Collard heat.

What started as a dream scribbled in quiet nighttime hours has grown into a full-blown writing career. With each book, she brings her readers deeper into a gritty, passionate world where danger, love, and loyalty ride side by side.

While she’s got big plans to tell every biker’s story, she’s also working on fresh projects guaranteed to set pulses racing.

When she’s not writing or wrangling her real-life crew, you’ll find her dancing like no one’s watching, binge-reading spicy romance, or laughing loud with friends and family.

New Release ~ Rumor Has It ~ by ~ Giulia Lagomarsino

Title: Rumor Has It

Series: The Last Best Place for Love Book 6

Author: Giulia Lagomarsino

Genre: Small Town Romance

Tropes: Opposites Attract; Sworn off relationships; Grumpy/Sunshine; Damsel in Distress; Friends with Benefits

Release Date: July 13, 2026

★★★★★ Goodreads Review – “If you like small-town chaos, stubborn idiots falling in love, enough tension to power an electrical grid, and a healthy sprinkle of “well… that escalated quickly,” do yourself a favor and pick this one up.”

★★★★★ Goodreads Review – “Giulia Lagomarsino is wonderful at world-building. More importantly, she creates characters who are fully three-dimensional, and then she makes you fall in love with them.”

★★★★★ Goodreads Review – “Oh boy… another emotional roller coaster from Giulia! Rumor Has It has it all—thrills, humor, a swoony small-town romance, and plenty of chaos.”

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.

★★★★★ Amazon Review for Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart – “Some of her best writing…Holy cow, this book! I was immediately immersed in Murky Falls! I could not put this book down. I’m excited to read the rest of the series!”

★★★★★ Amazon Review for Real Good Man – “When the Grump Finds His Roots (and the Sunshine Refuses to Leave) …the kind of small-town romance that sneaks past your defenses with humor, heart, and a slow-burn love you didn’t see coming—but end up rooting for with your whole chest.”

★★★★★ Amazon Review for How Forever Feels – “Amazing! Felt like coming home again! Another fantastic book from Giulia!This story had it all, love, healing, and found family, not to mention the suspense of a 25 year old mystery to keep you guessing.”

★★★★★ Amazon Review for Shut Up and Kiss Me – “Amazing as always!!! What an adventure!!! It was fun, unpredictable, and full of emotion—exactly what I was hoping for and more. All in all, an easy 5 out of 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

★★★★★ Amazon Review for Foolish Pride – “Amazing…Quite a surprise ending. Oh my gosh. Another story that stays with you for a while. I thought we were moving right into the HEA, when it all went sideways. I need the next book NOW. Great writing from an amazing storyteller.”

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.

Gentry found Sage on the worst day of her life.

He saves her from a fate worse than hell, and in return, she ruins his life.

Not on purpose, though.

No, the men who think to rule her life don’t like that she has a champion on her side and realize the best way to get back at her is to go through him.

They find a really great way to do it, too.

They frame him for a crime he didn’t intentionally commit and sentence him to spend thirteen years in prison. As an added bonus, they take his child—the one thing that matters most to him— just to remind him that they hold all the power.

But Sage will never let them have any power over her.

That’s why, the day before he’s sentenced to prison, Sage offers the only protection she can think to give him. Her hand in marriage.

For seven years, Sage fights to get her husband-in-name-only free.

Just when she thinks she’s close, she gets the news. Her husband has died in a prison riot, leaving her free to marry another.

That’s when she decides to run.

And where does her running take her? Right into the arms of a man who was supposed to be dead.
