He was supposed to catch killers, not marry one.
Detective Boston has built a career on hunting dangerous people. Rules don’t scare him. Blood doesn’t bother him. And morality has always been … negotiable.
But nothing prepares him for the night he walks in to find her.
An assassin for hire with electric blue hair, a blade in her hand, and no intention of being caught.
He should arrest her.
Instead, he makes her an offer.
Marry him, and he’ll keep her secret.
Refuse, and her life will fall apart.
For him, it’s a calculated move.
For her, it’s blackmail dressed up as a wedding.
Living with an assassin was never part of the plan.
But the longer they’re married, the harder it becomes to decide who is more dangerous.

Revenge brought me back from death. It may cost me what little humanity I have left.

Release Date: August 4, 2026

I swore I would never return to Driftwood Bay.
But eight years later, the tides have brought me home to salt-worn piers, familiar shorelines, a town that once felt like everything, and to August Cove, the last piece of my past that the undertow won’t release. Where memories will crash against the present and I must decide whether Driftwood Bay is somewhere I can finally let go of… or somewhere I was never meant to leave behind.

She was swept out like a ship to sea, gone without a trace. Or at least that’s how it felt. But now she’s back, all these years later, the woman who broke my heart in ways that never truly healed.
And in Driftwood Bay, the sea always has a way to bring lost things home.



⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Goodreads Review – “The feeling behind this story is beautiful. I felt all the emotions at the same time and I loved every word, every page, and every moment of this book.”




C.L. Reeder lives in Texas with her childhood sweetheart, their two grown-ish kids, and an unsettling number of animals. Crimson Fate was her debut novel—and the first offering in what she hopes will be a long line of dark tales.

When she isn’t writing, she’s wandering thrift stores, yard sales, and coffee shops, drawn to the forgotten and the strange. A lover of all things witchy and a collector of dead things, she finds beauty where others might look away.

When not working, she can usually be found at home with her husband, searching endlessly for something to watch… or for the vape that’s vanished yet again.

Huxley Hosea was at the lowest of the lows.

Exhausted—both mentally and physically—he could barely put one foot in front of the other. Tired to the bone due to a never-ending war. He was desperate to find a new every day that didn’t revolve around getting shot at by kids that could barely hold a rifle steady. War had broken his soul, and the last thing he wanted to do was go home and pretend that he was just a normal citizen.
But then he sees her, also at her lowest of lows, for the first time, and his soul latches on. Bernice, his salvation.
He’s convinced that she’s the answer to his woes, and he develops an unhealthy attachment to her that carries over to his civilian life. For five years, he watches her. Protects her. Keeps her safe when she won’t protect herself. Hux follows her every move and hides in the shadows so she’ll never see.
Then she shows up in his town, and all bets are off.
She’s in his town now. That means his rules. His way. And no more highway.
She’s stuck, and she’ll never know it until it’s too late for her to run.

I lost my heart a long time ago to one woman.
The love of my life.
The mother of my children.
I could weather any storm with her by my side.
But I lost sight of that somewhere along the way.
Holding her in my arms as she nearly died tore me to shreds.
I vowed a long time ago that I would never let anything happen to her, and I failed.
And now she was ready to leave.
Not because I didn’t protect her, but because I lost sight of who we were.
That was all about to change.
Because if there was one thing I knew for certain, it was that life just wasn’t worth living without her by my side.


 




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.

Genre: Gay Paranormal/Time Travel Romance
Tropes: Fake Engagement, Hurt/Comfort, Fated Mates
Possessive MMC, Forced Proximity, Love After Loss
Release Date: July 31, 2026

BLURB

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.

𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗸. 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀. 𝗙𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱.

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?
