Title: The Marriage Blogger
Author: L.G. Davis
Genre/Tropes: Psychological Thriller; Domestic Thriller
Release Date: September 15, 2026


My marriage made me famous. Now it’s falling apart, threatening to take my career down with it.

For years, thousands of women have followed my marriage blog, looking to me for advice on how to keep their relationships happy. They think my husband and I have the perfect life.

They have no idea he has cheated on me. Or that our marriage is hanging by a thread.

And they can never find out. My career, and the book deal built on my picture-perfect marriage, depends on it.

Needing to escape, I leave Los Angeles behind and rent a secluded cottage in Gray Pines, a picture-perfect lakeside town. It’s only temporary. Somewhere quiet to clear my head, finish my book and decide whether my marriage can still be saved.

At first, it feels like exactly what I need.

Until I realize something is wrong.

I come home to find the cottage door unlocked, even though I’m certain I locked it. Upstairs, my bed has been moved. Then a mysterious pink slip of paper appears with a number written on it. Another appears with a lower number. And then another. The numbers keep falling, like a countdown.

And the friendly locals who welcomed me so warmly seem to know far more about me than they should.

I tell myself I’m imagining it. That heartbreak and exhaustion are making me paranoid.

Then my kitchen window is smashed to pieces, and I know immediately that I may be in danger.

I came here because I thought I needed time away to heal and write my book.

Now I’m beginning to wonder if I was brought here for a reason.

And what happens when the pink slips reach one?

A gripping and addictive psychological thriller packed with secrets, obsession and shocking twists. Anyone who loves The Housemaid by Freida McFadden, The Overnight Guest by Heather Gudenkauf and The Stranger in Her House by John Marrs will be completely hooked.

BLURB

A new, shockingly forbidden standalone from New York Times bestselling authors Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland…

Sometimes one floor is all that separates the life you planned from the life you never saw coming…

Moving to New York with my boyfriend, Calder, was supposed to be a fresh start.

A new city. A new job. A beautiful brownstone in Brooklyn we'd call home. The beginning of our forever.

There was just one catch: Calder’s best friend lived in the apartment downstairs.

Rafe—a gifted artist who smashed glass into masterpieces. With his unruly blond hair and piercing eyes that seemed to see right through me, he was impossible to ignore.

He was also completely off-limits.

Yet somehow, every walk past his apartment or trip to the basement laundry room turned into another deep conversation neither of us ever wanted to end.

At first, it was innocent.
Then I found myself looking forward to running into him again.
Before long, I was creating opportunities to be around him.

Somehow, Rafe and I made each other feel seen in ways neither of us expected.

I tried to ignore our connection, reminding myself that Calder’s best friend was the last man on Earth I could ever fall for.

But with every stolen moment, that lie became harder to believe.

Maybe some love stories aren't about finding the right person—but what happens when you find them too late.

Winds of Destiny

Olympian Awakenings Book 2


When a titan’s power surges, mortals pay the price—and the Olympians must answer the call.

Layla, Tyler, and the other Olympians are thrust on a perilous quest across the Mediterranean and into the sunken heart of Atlantis to reclaim Poseidon’s trident. Their sea voyage is fraught with danger with deadly monsters and diabolical magic at every turn. Only by learning to trust—and love—each other can they hope to survive.

Layla’s storm powers are tied to her heart, and to master them, she must first confront the emotions she’s spent years guarding. Tyler, a shapeshifter whose might can rival the fiercest beasts, may be the key to her control—but breaking through the walls around her heart won’t be easy. Their past mistakes still linger, and some wounds run too deep for even the strongest powers to heal.

Adventure, danger, and passion collide in this electrifying continuation of the Olympian Awakens series.

Grab Book 2 and continue the thrilling ride!

Flame and Shadow

Olympian Awakenings Book 3


A titan is rising.
And this time, the world may not survive.

Fire-wielder Zoey has spent her life afraid of her own power. Ancient soldier Alexios has spent centuries believing he was nothing more than a weapon. Together, they’ve survived monsters, gods, and impossible quests—but nothing prepares them for Kronos’s final move.

As fractures tear open between worlds, monsters pour into the mortal realm and the boundary between life and death begins to collapse. When a desperate sacrifice strands Zoey in the Underworld itself, ancient warrior Alexios must defy gods, fate, and death to bring her home—before she loses her memories… and herself.

The final battle will demand everything from all six champions who have fought side by side: fire and storm, stone and steel, courage, sacrifice, and unbreakable trust.

Because defeating a Titan will take more than power.

It will take a family forged in battle—and two souls willing to burn for each other and the world they refuse to lose.

The explosive conclusion to the Olympian Awakenings trilogy delivers epic Greek mythology, found family, and a sweeping romantic finale where love and legend collide.
