Rags's Awakening

Title: Rags's Awakening

Series: Insurgents Motorcycle Club

Author: Chiah Wilder

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: June 17, 2026

Cover Design: Carrie @Cheeky Covers

A member of one of the largest MCs in Colorado, Rags is an Insurgent all the way. The outlaw is a free-loving biker loyal to the brotherhood and its lifestyle: fast Harleys, easy women, and hard-hitting brawls. It’s a simple life and that’s the way he likes it.

He’d given his heart to a special woman in his life, and she shredded it, so he’s not interested in another round. Now a barbed wire protects his heart and that suits him just fine.

Then he sees her and his simple life suddenly becomes complicated. Wild dark hair tumbling down her back, curves just the way he likes them, and a defiant look in her dark brown eyes. Yeah … she’s just the type of woman to stir up his libido and cause a lot of trouble.

Casey Reece is juggling three jobs to pay off debts her ex stuck her with as a parting gift. She once gave her heart to a man in leather, and he rode right over it. Now, she has sworn off anyone who even thinks about a motorcycle or whose wardrobe includes more leather than hers. She’s had her fill of bikers, their clubs, and their endless chatter about their beloved Harleys. Her only focus is picking up her life from the wreckage of her marriage.

When the rugged biker comes into the store acting like he knows everything about her job, anger rushes through her. So what if he’s lean, tall, and wickedly handsome and his swagger and bad boy attitude are sexy? He’s obviously an outlaw biker, and she’s not interested, even though the intensity of his gaze makes her stomach twist. But … one heartache is enough for a lifetime.

Fate seems to be messing with her because she keeps bumping into the sexy outlaw, and when his hazel gaze locks onto her brown one, an undeniable desire sizzles between them.

And in the midst of all this, a serial killer is roaming around the area, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. All of a sudden, Casey is pulled into a terrifying nightmare and the only one who can help her is the sexy biker with the infuriating swagger.

Can Rags and Casey swallow their pride and rise from the ashes of their broken pasts to discover that the deepest scars are the ones that lead to the most profound and healing love?

Deking at Love

A The Playmakers Series Novella

By G.K. Brady

Genre: Steamy Second Chance Hockey Romance

A broken past. A forbidden present. A second chance worth everything.

Sam Durbin is on the brink of everything he’s worked for. One bad injury threatens to end his breakout hockey season, and the pressure to get back on the ice is mounting. But nothing throws him off his game faster than coming face-to-face with his physical therapist—the woman he walked away from. The one he never forgot.

Angelina Rossi finally has the career she fought for. A position at a top-tier clinic, a future she built on her own terms … and a patient who could destroy it all. Treating Sam should be simple. Clinical. Professional. But every session drags up the past she’s tried to bury and the feelings she never truly let go.

Sam knows he doesn’t deserve a second chance. Angie knows she can’t survive giving him one. But every session chips away at their defenses—old wounds resurfacing, new heat building, and neither of them quite able to hold the line.

Giving in to desire could end Sam’s comeback before it begins. It could destroy the career Angie’s fought so hard to build. But walking away might be the one loss neither can overcome.

Deking at Love is a steamy, second-chance, forbidden sports romance featuring a wounded hockey player, a no-nonsense physical therapist, and a chemistry they can’t outskate. Perfect for readers who love witty banter, workplace tension, and high-stakes emotion—with a guaranteed HEA.

Dirty Little Secret

Title: Dirty Little Secret

Series: Milwaukee Mayhem #2

Author: Tracy Solheim

Genre: Contemporary Hockey Romance

Tropes: Opposites Attract, Workplace Romance

Secret Romance, Brother's Boss

Release Date: June 8, 2026

BLURB

He inherited a hockey team from a father who never claimed him.

Now he’s risking everything for the one woman he shouldn’t want.

When Max Kellogg unexpectedly inherits the Milwaukee Mayhem after the death of the man who refused to acknowledge him, the league expects the brash Hollywood nepo baby to crash and burn. Not wanting to give them—or his late father—the satisfaction of being right, Max steps into the spotlight—rewriting contracts, rebuilding the roster, and signing the most electrifying teenage talent professional hockey has ever seen.

Eighteen-year-old phenom Parker Dern is a virtuoso on the ice—and a tabloid sensation off it. The only person who can steady him is his fiercely devoted older sister, Olivia Dern. When Olivia suddenly finds herself unemployed and on the brink of losing the stability she’s fought so hard to build, Max makes her an offer she can’t refuse: travel with the team. Keep her brother focused. Be his handler. Shield him from the glare of the spotlight.

It’s supposed to be temporary. Strictly professional.

Until late-night flights, luxury hotel rooms, and private skating sessions begin to blur the lines.

Making his late father pay for a lifetime of neglect has always been Max’s driving obsession. But when Olivia walks into his carefully calculated world, revenge is no longer the only thing on his mind. And for the first time, Max must decide if payback is worth losing the one person who makes him want something more.
