𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝘂𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.

I spend my life chasing sound. Grit, feedback, the moment a crowd holds its breath.

Fireball is the only thing I’ve built without it turning on me. Everything else stays locked tight.

Then Linus O’Donnell comes back.

My first real love.

The one man who knows exactly how I break.

The one I never stopped wanting.

Avonna doesn’t need an entrance.

She coaxes me past my defenses into truth.

Raw. Unfiltered. Impossible to ignore.

 

What starts as music turns carnal fast.

Late nights. Sweat-soaked rehearsals. Heat carrying into every chord.

Desire doesn’t divide. It multiplies.

I want them both.

Bodies. Loyalty. A future. The way we fit once the world goes quiet.

 

The problem?

It never does.

 

I lie. I stall. I pretend control is possible.

Some harmonies refuse to stay hushed.

Luisa—

I’ve grown up in a protective family and have lived a very sheltered life. My father owns five-hundred acres of land where my family has grown pecans for generations. We attend mass every week at the San Miguel Mission near our home— the one our family helped build over a century ago.
Our traditions and way of life are engrained in all of the Sanchez decedents. Our life comes with certain expectations, especially for the daughters of the Sanchez family.
I’m almost eighteen, but I’ve never been allowed to date.
It’s always been assumed that Mateo and I would marry. He’s kind and handsome and also from a prominent family, so I’ve accepted it as just the way things will be.
Until trouble brought the Saint’s Outlaws to our land.
Their president befriended my father and was even invited to my older sister’s wedding.
That’s where I met Blue.
The first time I saw him; my heart skipped a beat.
He was stunning and dangerous and everything Mateo would never be.
He flirted with me, and we slipped off from the celebrations into the pecan groves, and under the light of the moon he gave me my first kiss.
But Blue wants much more than a few chaste kisses.
Blue wants me—all of me.
And Blue is a determined man.
It’s exciting to be desired by a man like him who’ll stop at nothing to get what he wants. But Blue doesn’t know my future has already been arranged—that everything has already been decided.
I can never be his.

I’ve always loved Delphi, but she only ever had eyes for Snake.

I watched her marry my club brother, burying my feelings deep, knowing they had that once-in-a-lifetime kind of love most people only read about.
Until the man she married turned on the MC he swore to protect.
Raven Souls don’t suffer fools lightly, so we took our pound of flesh from the traitor and burned Delphi’s world to ash.
Years pass, but my love for the woman I’m supposed to hate never faded.
When Delphi returns, like an avenging angel, sacrificing herself for one of our own and almost losing her life in the process, I know this is it—my one chance to make things right.
I don’t care that she hates me almost as much as she hates the club or that she’ll fight the attraction that crackles between us every step of the way; nothing will stop me from making Delphi mine.
But as the lies coloring her past slowly fall away, secrets are revealed, secrets so horrific they could tear my club apart.
And the truth will make monsters out of all of us.

New Release ~ The Brazen Head ~ by ~ JE Pittman

THE BRAZEN HEAD by JE Pittman is out now! Read the new urban fantasy set in the Felix Chance world today!

Title: The Brazen Head

Author: JE Pittman

Genre: Cozy Urban Fantasy

About The Brazen Head:

The Brazen Head – The St Germain Letters, Book 1

 

Trahor Fatis

 

Drawn by Fate, the relegated prince Rakozy finds himself in a spot of bother at the court of his imperial cousin Rudolf – the second one – as psychics and prestidigitators and prognosticators all ply for royal favor at the height of Prague’s glory.

 

Taken by Fortune, he’s put upon paths that may shift the turning of the very stars above and bear witness to the birth of a new era of tumult and torpor – of the coming of l’Envoyé d’Éternité.

 

Given to Wonder, Rakozy sets new course when his bright future becomes shattered by mortals meddling in the affairs of the eternal – the venerated Arcanum – throwing the cosmos out of balance.

 

Travel back before days were Sundered and witness the becoming of the Comte de Saint Germain, as only he can tell it, in The Brazen Head – a tale from the world of Felix Chance.

 

This is the story of Prince Rakozy the Uncrowned — exile, apostate, explorer of the world. Of the man masquerading as Montferrat, believed to be Bellamarre, and cavorting as Chevalier Schoening in an adventuresome youth. Of Count Weldon, he claimed, when briefly detained in England. Of he whom Francois-Marie Arouet once called the Wonderman. And he who continually bested that profligate philanderer Casanova at his own game. These pages contain the eagerly anticipated account of the Comte de Saint Germain, set by my own hand, and how the mechanical godhead foretold the coming of l’Envoyé d’Éternité.

Read in Kindle Unlimited!

About the Author:

As an author, J.E. Pittman dabbles in many speculative worlds. He blurs the borders between genre and crafts salient lies to tell a measure of truth. His work has been described as: capriciously chimeric, dreamlike, and a vivid enigma with indelible images stamped on your brain. His published works include the Felix Chance contemporary/urban fantasy series – Felix Chance, Second Chance, and Off Chance; The St Germain Letters – set in the Felixverse and following the exploits of the immortal alchemist the Comte de Saint Germain, due out later this year; his Pandora Squad sci-fi action series; and 98 Rabbits, his nonsensical farce about the writer’s journey and the very first book he published. Additionally, he has been published in the Hidden Villains Arise and Behind the Shadows anthologies and writes several web serials.

He is a lifelong resident of South Carolina, with a brief stayover in Atlanta for college at Georgia Tech, studying the interplay between science, technology, and culture after becoming sick of coding his freshman year – a critical skill he’s found most useful in his literary endeavors.

After college, he fell into a seventeen year career in local broadcasting, becoming a newscast director for his local NBC affiliate – receiving several Emmy nods for his work. An avid photographer, he loves exploring new cities and magnificent vistas – connecting with the world at large – as much as he enjoys discovering the magic in the every day and peeling back the layers of reality to create new wonders and fabulous creatures sprung from the mind.

New Release ~ Neighborhood Watch ~ by ~ Britney King

Title: Neighborhood Watch

Author: Britney King
Genre: Psychological Thriller
Tropes: The Man Everyone Trusts; The Woman No One Believes; Gaslighting as a Group Sport; Suburbia that Eats its Own; Social Erasure
Release Date: January 29, 2026


From bestselling author Britney King comes a razor-sharp psychological thriller about a street built on secrets, a neighbor who knows too much, and the woman who learns—too late—that the most dangerous lies are the ones everyone else is willing to believe.
“You’d be surprised how easy it is to disappear someone.”
That’s what Clint says. Always with a smile. Always like a joke.
But Nora knows better—jokes don’t leave bodies.
Nora Givens runs the salon where the cul-de-sac comes to confess. She knows who’s day-drinking, whose marriage is composting under the patio lights, and which neighbors wield kindness like a weapon. What she doesn’t know is why things on her street suddenly feel wrong.
A break-in with no motive.
A Peeping Tom no one can describe.
A woman who never makes it home.
The neighborhood responds the way they always do—with performative concern. Meetings. Patrols. A nonstop group chat. And Clint, the charming new arrival, is suddenly everywhere: taking notes, volunteering, appearing even before the sirens.
Everyone adores him.
Everyone trusts him.
Everyone but Nora.
When her police statement disappears, her dog vanishes, and her tire fails in a place she’d never survive a crash, the cul-de-sac decides she’s the problem—another “overwhelmed woman” who should calm down and stop making waves.
But Clint keeps offering help.
The kind that looks generous to everyone else—
and strategic to her.
As Nora closes in on the truth, she realizes the quiet horror of suburbia:
Some neighbors want to keep you safe.
Others want to keep you quiet.
And on this street, the simplest way to disappear someone…
is to make sure no one believes her first.
Dark, addictive, and knife-edged, Neighborhood Watch delivers jaw-dropping twists, a psychological chess match in plain sight, and a villain hiding where you least expect him. Perfect for readers who want a thriller that gets under your skin and stays there.




 


Britney King lives in Texas with her family, two literary dogs, one ridiculous cat, and a partridge in a pear tree. When she’s not wrangling these characters, she writes psychological, domestic, and romantic thrillers that dive deep into the complexities of human nature.

For twenty years, Lucien Ashfall has been caged by the very men who profit from his blood.


He’s dangerous, uncontrollable, and deadly.


He’s also the only one carrying his bloodline and they need another.


Every six months, thirty girls are sent into his prison and tasked with one goal: Make him create an heir by any means necessary.


But everyone who goes in, never comes out.


Until Rook Snowdon is thrown into Cinderkeep by mistake.


She isn’t a seductress.


And she certainly isn’t there to save anyone.


In fact, she only has three goals in life:


One, hide her true identity for as long as possible.

Two, nap and self-medicate with wine.

Three (and most problematic) ignore the fact that stress is slowly killing her.


Lucien only has one goal: escape and burn everything to the ground.


Unfortunately, everyone has their secrets and these two have many.


They just don’t know it yet.


Because she might be the key to getting him free.


But if he gets out, it’s not the world that will burn.


It’s him.

New Release ~ Real Good Man ~ by ~ Giulia Lagomarsino

Title: Real Good Man
Series: The Last Best Place for Love Book #2
Author: Giulia Lagomarsino
Genre/Tropes: Small Town; Enemies-to-Lovers; Opposites Attract; Dark Secrets; Grumpy/Sunshine; Next-Door Neighbors and Emotionally Unavailable
Release Date: January 26, 2026


In a small town where secrets last five minutes, privacy is a myth, and gossip lasts forever, this might have been the worst possible place to settle.


After my last job fell apart and burned my reputation, I followed Archer to this small town in Nowhere, Montana.


I had no intention of staying longer than the night, but circumstances took a turn for the worse when not only was there not an immediate solution to my job problem, but the only places to stay were the local roach motel or a bed and breakfast with flowery bedspreads and potpourri in every room.


But then I happened to help out a Parker, which apparently meant something in this town.


Not only did I land myself a house rental for as long as I needed, but I ended up with a neighbor who insisted on feeding a stray dog on my property, convinced he was mine.


And as much as I fought it, I found myself sort of liking the damn dog.

Not that I would ever admit that.

But the dog wasn’t the only unexpected addition to my daily life.


It seemed the more I tried to ignore my neighbor—her perky personality, the weird tea concoctions, and her ability to make me want her even when she annoyed me—the more I found myself intertwined in her life.


And that might just get her killed.













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.
