My life was boring, so I decided to shake it up a bit.

With my life at the ranch changing by the minute, and not for the better, it seemed I would never find any excitement to fill my days.

They say to be careful what you wish for, and I learned that the hard way.

Walking in on a stranger trying on my teal coat, only to find out we slept together, was a shocker.
I didn’t remember a single second of how we met or what happened after.
Neither did he.
But apparently, everyone in town knew our business.
And the secret we were carrying around.
But before I got a chance to tell my new man any of this, things took a strange turn. 

Bullets flying, men attacking every hour of the day, and neither of us had any idea why.

And that was just the bad stuff.
There was an undeniable chemistry between us, and keeping our hands to ourselves turned out to be harder than I thought.
But the infuriating man was insistent on keeping me safe.

And the whole time, all I really wanted to say was Shut Up and Kiss Me.

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

Real Good Man ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazon Review from C. Luna – “Real Good Man by Giulia Lagomarsino is 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.”

How Forever Feels ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazon Review – “This author never fails to entertain. Her characters come to life. You live their emotions. Every. Book is it’s own adventure. Next book please!”


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.

Cade

When it comes to women, keeping things casual is my forte. What can I say, I like to live life to its fullest. Then I spot the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen at The Tipsy Lizard, and I know I need to get to know her. Like a moth to a flame, I’m drawn. The only issue is, she’s dating someone else.
So, the only choice I have is to give Oaklee my number and tell her to use it when she’s single.
To my surprise, that phone call came sooner than I expected. She’s just getting out of a relationship and isn’t looking for anything serious, which is right up my alley. Spending time with her isn’t a hardship, and sending little gifts to her office to say hello is a lot more fun than I would have imagined.
The problem is, I’m not sure I can keep her safely in the friend zone much longer.
Oaklee
Relocating to a small town was exactly what I needed. However, from the moment I arrived in Cooper Town, everything seemed to snowball. The jerk I was dating decided to cheat, leaving me in a new place with a new job and a support system of one to lean on.
Meeting Cade at a bar turned out to be more than just a casual happenstance.
Being around him is easy. He’s gorgeous, charismatic, fun, and always sends me little things to let me know he’s thinking of me. When I have to start working beside my ex, Cade kicks it into overdrive, showing me exactly how easy it could be to fall for a guy like him. Too bad he’s not looking for forever. Cade only wants right now.
Suddenly, my easiest hello might be my hardest goodbye.

I blame getting pregnant on my sister getting mauled by a bear.

If she hadn’t been attacked that day, I wouldn’t have come home to check on her. I wouldn’t have run into Boone Windsor at that bar. I wouldn’t have gone home with him, ready to drown my sorrows in a different, more satisfying way.
I wouldn’t have given him that second chance.
Not after he’d so badly burned the first chance.
I would’ve gone back to work half the country away, and I would’ve kept my head in the sand where Boone was involved.
But my sister did get attacked. I did give Boone a second chance.
And I almost died because of it.
After my memories are lost in an accident that almost takes both of our lives, Boone makes me fall in love with him all over again.
And since I didn’t know all the hell that awaited me, I didn’t guard my heart.
I fell, and fell, and fell until there was nowhere else to go but down.
Then, when those memories come back and I’m faced with the consequences of my actions, I didn’t falter.
I knew he was hell, yet I chose to burn with him anyway.

A Russian mafia romance laced with vengeance, loyalty, and a love that refuses to die. 

Carter thought she escaped the Bratva.
She was dead wrong.

When her past with Vladimir Ivanov resurfaces, Carter is dragged back into a world ruled by power, secrets, and control—where walking away with a pulse is no longer an option.

Vladimir reigns as the Pakhan of the Ivanov Bratva, an empire built on blood, loyalty, and fear. He’s survived betrayal, war, and prison—but one woman still has the power to unravel him. As enemies close in and the Bratva turns against her, Vladimir has only one choice.

Protect Carter at all costs.

Even if it makes her his prisoner.

With a bounty on her head, Carter becomes both Vladimir’s greatest weakness and his most dangerous weapon. Bound together by obsession, survival, and a past neither can outrun, their connection deepens—blurring the line between protection and possession, love and captivity.

As a mafia war ignites in Russia, a rival Bratva boss wants Vladimir’s crown—and the woman he loves.
And he’s willing to burn everything to claim both.

I’ve always followed the rules.
Good girls don’t sneak away for one reckless night with a dangerous stranger.
No names.
No promises.
Just passion.
It was supposed to be a secret – until fate brought him back into my life.
I’m promised to another man, but the stranger from that night refuses to let me go.
He says I belong to him.
He swears he’ll burn the world before he loses me.
But our love was built on a lie.
He fooled me once.
He won’t do it again.
Tristan Kinkaid
Control made me the American king of the Irish mob.
Then she shattered it with a single night.
She’s too pure for my world.
Too innocent for a man like me.
But that didn’t stop me from wanting her.
From claiming her.
She believes she’s promised to another man.
She just doesn’t know that man is me.
There are secrets between us.
Betrayals that could start a war.
She thinks we’re over.
She’s wrong.
I didn’t rise to power by letting anything – or anyone – slip through my fingers.
And I’m not losing her.

Tropes: Hurt/Comfort, Found Family, Single Mom
Release Date: April 2, 2026

BLURB

My name is Citlalli Dillion.

I’m the little girl in the pink raincoat from the missing persons poster. The one abducted from outside her home while her twin sister and parents were inside.
Search parties and manhunts scoured the country looking for me, but I’d seemingly vanished into thin air.
Years passed, and eventually, people moved on with their lives.
And like the tattered, missing-persons posters, I faded away.
Only I wasn’t dead, just forgotten.
And while the world moved on, I was held captive in a time capsule of terror for over a decade.
When a kidnapping sees me reunited with my sister, I’m pulled into the protective bubble of the Raven Souls MC and dropped into the arms of the ex-MMA fighter Ambros Deveraux.
Ambros is everything I never knew I needed. With him beside me, I can finally lay the past to rest.
But when a man with a grudge against the MC starts looking for a weakness to exploit, a damaged woman like me becomes a predator’s wet dream.
Now I’m fighting my demons and a monster, but if he thinks damaged means weak, he’s forgetting the one thing I know how to do better than anyone.
Survive.

New Release ~ Resisting Blue ~ by ~ Maggie Cole

Title: Resisting Blue
Duet: Beautiful Delusions #1

Author: Maggie Cole

Genre: Psychological Romance
Tropes: Stalker/Therapist, Morally Grey Romance

Release Date: April 1, 2026

BLURB

From International bestselling author Maggie Cole comes a morally gray psychological romance where boundaries are temptation, ethics are foreplay, and a dangerously perceptive woman sets her stalker sights on her therapist.

My parents made me see a therapist for stalking.
They thought Dr. Red Mercer would cure me. They assumed he would teach me restraint, discipline, and distance. What they didn’t count on was the way his gaze lingers too long, like he’s undressing the truth instead of treating it. Or how his voice tightens every time I say exactly what I’m thinking.
He says boundaries. I hear an invitation.
He says ethics. I see a man begging not to want me.
I’m not spiraling. I’m precise. I know where he draws the line and exactly how to leap over it.
Red calls my fixation a disorder.
I call it fate already in motion.
This is my version of the sessions.
And no matter how hard he fights it, I’ll strip away his control until Dr. Red Mercer admits what we both know.
He was never meant to resist me.
Resisting Blue is book one of the Beautiful Delusions Duet. See Authors Note inside the book for trigger warnings.
