BLURB

The A in Jessamy Darling’s name stands for a lot to deal with.

Her complete disregard for all forms of authority stems from a childhood past where her parents didn’t believe that her brother was a literal psychopath. From framing her for killing the family dog to stuffing her backpack full of prescription drugs, then reporting her, her brother has made it his life’s mission to make her as miserable as possible.

The moment she turned eighteen, she bailed from her parents’ house like the bottom of her feet were on fire. But if she thought that moving out would stop her brother’s punishments, she was wrong. He only gets more creative.

And by getting more creative, he starts to turn the town of Sawtooth against her.

No grandma, biker, or shop owner wants anything to do with her.

Eventually, she decides…fuck it.

If everyone was going to hate her anyway, why not give them a real reason to hate her?

***

For years, he’s been dealing with her attitude. Her complete disregard for anyone and anything should wear thin.

Except Black’s always had a soft spot for trouble.

And she’s Trouble with a capital T.

He’s pulled her out of more fires than he should have, and he probably should’ve locked her up and thrown away the key a long time ago.

But Black Adkins, sheriff of Jesper County, wasn’t elected into that position because he was a stand-up guy. He’s a rebel at heart, and Jessamy Darling is his kryptonite.

Putting Jessamy in a cage would break her, and he only wants to see her fly.

Queens of Themiscyra

Title: Queens of Themiscyra

Author: Hannah Lynn

Genre: Greek Mythology

Publication Date: Nov. 1st, 2026

Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR

Blurb:

Sisters. Mothers. Lovers. Warriors.

In ancient Themiscyra, Hippolyte rules as Queen of the Amazons. Feared throughout Greece, their skill on the battlefield is unrivalled. But when a ship lands on their shores, it brings something more dangerous than the threat of war. It brings a future Hippolyte could never have imagined.

Swept away to Athens, Hippolyte discovers a love that challenges even the bonds of sisterhood and the life she has always known. But can she leave her warrior past behind and forge a new future?

With her sister gone, Penthesilea has no choice but to rise as the new Amazon Queen. Lacking Hippolyte’s compassion and restraint, she rules with an impulsiveness and ferocity that strike terror throughout the Aegean.

But when Hippolyte’s world begins to crumble, Penthesilea must decide just how far she is willing to go to defend their honour, their family, and the Amazon way of life.

If you are a fan of epic tales, powerful female characters and mythology retellings, you are going to love Hannah Lynn’s Queens of Themiscyra.

Perfect for readers of Madeleine Miller and Claire Heywood looking for an original mythology reimagining, this epic story is a rich, thrilling odyssey of war and peace, love and betrayal, and, most of all, sisterhood.

Emery:

I had a crush on him since I was sixteen.

He was tall, dark, and smoking hot.

But he was my uncle’s best friend.

He was also a Fury brother.

But that didn’t stop me from asking him a favor I had no business asking.

A favor he had no business saying yes to.

But he did.

Ravage:

I knew better.

She was my best friend's niece.

She was family. She was off-limits.

She was also beautiful, smart, and had curves that could bring a man to his knees.

She wanted me to teach her how to be good in bed.

I should have told her no.

I didn’t.

And now, it could cost me everything.

“I shouldn’t have asked you to have sex with me. I wasn’t thinking clearly.”

“Does that mean you’ve changed your mind?”

“It means I’ll figure it out.”

“And how are you gonna do that?” His eyes narrowed. “Hook up with some asshole?”

“I don’t know. I’ll watch porn… read a book, or I’ll just Google it.”

“Porn?” he pressed, biting back his smile.

“It can be educational.”

“Clearly, you haven’t watched it.”

“I’ve taken a peek here and there.”

“Um-hmmm… You’re impossible.”

“And you’re making a bigger deal out of this than it needs to be.”

“I can teach you without actually fucking you, Emery.”

My eyes snapped to his, and he didn’t look away. The air between us changed. It was thicker, hotter, and it made my chest grow tight. I had no idea how to respond, so I didn’t say a word. I just stood there, staring at him like a deer in headlights.

His eyes remained locked on mine as he stepped forward, forcing me to step back. He took another, and my back met the wall, leaving me nowhere else to go. His voice was low and rough as he told me, “Anticipation is where it all starts.”

He lifted his hand and placed it on the wall next to my head, bracing himself as he leaned forward. He didn’t go for my mouth. Instead, he dipped lower and hovered his mouth along the curve of my neck. I could feel the warmth of his breath on my skin, and it sent a shiver down my spine.

I closed my eyes and curled my fingers into my palms because I had no idea what else to do with them. His mouth was inches from my ear when he whispered, “Breathe, Em.”

I inhaled, long and deep, and I tensed when he moved to the other side of my neck, letting the heat of his breath hover over my skin. His lips were so close, but they never once made contact. My knees trembled, and I had to lean into the wall to keep myself from dropping into a puddle on the floor.

“Anticipation is the best part,” he whispered. “The wanting… the waiting.”

He kept moving, slow and deliberate, and my heart felt like it was going to pound right out of my chest. He knew what he was doing to me, and he was enjoying it. I was too. Every nerve in my body was vibrating, and he hadn’t even touched me.

“I can show you everything… make you want things you never knew you could want.”

“Ravage…”

“Look at me, Em.”

I opened my eyes, and his handsome face was inches from mine. His eyes were dark and fixed on mine like I was the only thing in the room. They dropped to my mouth, and mine dropped to his. I let out a slight gasp, and my lips parted. He tilted his head and hovered there, so close his breath mingled with mine. I could almost taste him, and as much as I wanted to lean forward and slam my mouth to his, I didn’t.

Neither of us did. He kept the distance, leaving me aching and breathless, and just when I didn’t think I could stand it a second longer, he smiled. “That is lesson number one.”

He took a step back, and I felt the loss of heat in every fiber of my being. Asshole.

His voice turned stern when he added, “I need you to understand something.”

“Okay?”

“This is about the facts. Nothing more.” He crossed his arms. “No feelings. Nothing changes.”

“Okay.”

“I mean it, Emery.” His eyes stayed on mine. “You and I can never be anything more than we are right now.”

Guarded

Title: Guarded

Series: Boston Renegades

Author: Eden Sloane

Genre/Tropes: Hockey Romance; Fake Marriage; Morally Grey Heroine; Single Dad; Bookish Hero; Found Family

Release Date: October 20, 2026

NHL goalie Sebastian Voss can stop a hundred-mile-an-hour slapshot. Convincing a judge he deserves custody of his daughter? That’s proving considerably harder.

His solution? A fake marriage to the woman he’s already falling for.

For three years, Sebastian has fought to keep the little girl who means everything to him. But a steady stream of headlines portraying him as hockey’s favorite womanizing disaster has left his reputation in tatters and his custody case hanging by a thread.

If Sebastian wants to prove he can offer his daughter the stable home she deserves, Kat Morrison is his best shot.

She’s smart, beautiful, inexplicably unimpressed by his charm, and the first woman in years who makes Sebastian want something for himself. Asking a woman he barely knows to become his wife is probably insane. Falling for her before she ever says yes is definitely worse.

But if putting a ring on Kat’s finger gives Sebastian a better chance at keeping his daughter, he’ll risk his heart without hesitation.

Kat knows saying yes is a mistake.

Not because she doesn’t love him.

Because she does.

For three years, Kat has been forced to write the lies destroying Sebastian’s reputation, blackmailed into obedience by the one man who holds her brother’s future in his hands.

But now Kat is living in his house, wearing his ring, loving his daughter, and falling deeper for the family she was supposed to help destroy. Somewhere between stolen kisses, tangled sheets, and building a life together, their fake marriage starts feeling dangerously like forever.

Except forever has an expiration date when it’s built on a secret.

And Kat knows that when Sebastian discovers the truth, she may lose the only man she’s ever loved.

Eden Sloane believes the best love stories aren't about perfect people. They're about imperfect people who keep choosing each other, even after the truth changes everything.

She writes emotionally charged contemporary romance featuring devoted heroes, resilient heroines, impossible choices, and love worth risking everything for. Her stories celebrate the courage it takes to love completely.

When she's not plotting emotional damage (followed by well-earned happily ever afters), Eden can usually be found gardening, trying to win an ongoing battle with the weeds in her yard, drinking far too much caffeine, enjoying a nightcap while watching BBC crime dramas with her husband, and keeping tabs on her four children.

And if you're reading this during the winter, please send warm thoughts. Eden is somewhere in the Midwest, questioning every life choice that led her to a place where the air hurts her face.
