Oklahoma City, 1925

Fifteen-year-old Thea Carter lives in a small garage apartment—Thea’s seventh “home” in four years—provided by her alcoholic mother’s employer, the morose and enigmatic Dr. Hallam.

School is Thea’s refuge and she’s an excellent student, but the parasitic Mrs. Carter’s instability continually threatens her dream of getting a high school diploma. In an effort to keep her mother employed and the two of them housed, Thea secretly takes on much of her mother’s work while at the same time navigating adolescence, friendships, and first love.

Dr. Hallam, impressed by her drive and intelligence, becomes Thea’s unexpected ally, but in addition to wealth and position, the doctor also has a secret that could ruin him, and shatter his bond with Thea.

Chasing Red

Title: Chasing Red

Duet: Beautiful Delusions #2

Author: Maggie Cole

Genre: Psychological Romance

Tropes: Stalker/Therapist, Morally Grey Romance

Release Date: April 8, 2026

BLURB

From International bestselling author Maggie Cole comes the next descent into a morally gray psychological romance, where love is a liability, distance is survival, and obsession refuses to be left behind.

I fell in love with Blue Ivanov long before I admitted it.

That’s the part no one was supposed to know.

Not her family or the men who would destroy me if they ever realized how deeply she owns me.

Walking away was the only way to keep her safe.

So I built distance and told myself I could be starved into silence.

I was wrong.

Blue doesn’t chase blindly. She calculates.

I say danger.

She hears devotion.

I say stay away.

She tracks my weakness and hunts me anyway.

Her father would call me a liability, a mistake that needs to be handled.

But Blue doesn’t want protection.

She wants a love that burns, consumes, and leaves you delirious for more.

No matter how far I run, Blue isn’t chasing me to win.

She’s chasing me to make sure I finally stop pretending I don’t want to be caught.

Chasing Red is book two of the Beautiful Delusions Duet. Best if read after Resisting Blue. See Author's Note inside the book for trigger warnings.

Rock Me

Title: Rock Me

Author: Jessica Buss

Genre/Tropes: Small Town - Sexy Geologist/Injured Retired MLB Pitcher - Protector - Opposites Attract - Virgin - True Crime Podcaster - Secret Online Pinup Model - Crochet Queen

Release Date: April 20, 2026

Cover Design: 907 Publishing, LLC

Sharing a heated glance across a crowded bar, they both feel the spark of something monumental. And then life throws a curveball, separating them before they even have a chance to properly meet.

Bryce is a former major league pitcher who retired after a career-ending injury. Still young, he embraces his love of geology, and secures a job in Homer, Alaska. He falls in love with the state, and becomes infatuated with a woman he saw only briefly, who looks strikingly similar to an internet pin-up model he follows.

Craving independence and privacy after high school graduation, Lucinda moved to a small town outside Homer to start living her best life as a true crime podcaster. A virginal introvert with a big heart, she spends her free time crocheting blankets for babies in the NICU. But she’s not as innocent as she appears. She has a secret… She’s a sultry internet pin-up model.

Since exchanging glances that one fateful night, they’ve been pining for each other. Then fate steps in and brings them together in the most unexpected place… on a fishing charter in the middle of Kachemak Bay.

An unlikely pair with intense, unquestioning chemistry, they’re forced to work together, and confront the assumptions they hold about one another.
