A Bride for the Winter King


Title: A Bride for the Winter King
Series: Curse of the Fae Book 2
Author: Anya J. Cosgrove
Genre/Tropes: Fated Mates, Enemies to Lovers, Arranged Marriage (Reality Show)
Release Date: September 19, 2024



Can the Winter King truly love? Or am I doomed to follow his past queens to the grave?

I’m a shadow huntress in dire need of revenge. When a Fae prince asks me to participate in the Yule pageant and spy on the Winter King, I rise to the occasion.

He tells me I’m a ringer for the dead queen, and that I don’t have to win the pageant or get married in the end.

He forgot to mention I’d lose everything in the meantime—including my heart.

***

My kingdom needs a queen, and so I marry.

Every year I marry, and suffer.
Every year, I lose her all over again.

This endless curse is meant to punish me for what I’ve done, with no hope of release. As the Winter King, death shall never come for me.

Until the ghost of my first love shows up on my doorstep.

This novel is book 2 in the Curse of the Fae series. It’s a full-length fantasy romance with a happy ending, and though it's part of an interconnected series, the romance stands alone.

I never should’ve saved him that day. But now, he’s the one saving me…

Crusher gets under my skin in ways I never could’ve imagined. He’s been relentlessly pursuing me at every turn since the night I snuck out of his bed.

Not that I owe him any kind of explanation, but I had my reasons for leaving. Good ones that include the eleven-year-old boy I’m now solely responsible for.

But none of that matters to the men who’ve taken me. Men who are dead set on revenge for something I had nothing to do with. They want payback against Crusher and the Satan’s Disciples, and what better way to get it than taking someone who belongs to the MC.

Only, I don’t belong to the Disciples and I don’t belong to Crusher. But that won’t do me any good while I try to escape this hellhole I’m currently in.

Maybe help is coming, and maybe it’s not. But I refuse to play the damsel in distress. This isn’t some fairytale, and I’m not waiting for a hot biker on a Harley to rescue me.

No, I’ll take my life into my own hands. And I’ll save my damn self even if I have to fight my way out of here.

CRUSHER is book 4 in the SATAN'S DISCIPLES MC SERIES. This is a love-at-first-sight, obsessed hero, MC romance packed with action and spice, and a badass heroine! Prepare to fall in love with this sexy biker when he sets out on a mission to rescue the only woman he can’t live without.

AUTHOR BIO


I’m just a true southern girl, reading and writing books, asking you to love me! My books are extra steamy, contemporary romances, all with HEAs and no cliffhangers! They’re short, smutty, and tastefully trashy.

If you love over-protective, sexy, alpha book boyfriends who make you swoon and reach for your favorite… bookmark, then you’ve come to the right place.

When I’m not writing books or doing bookish things, I’m probably listening to music, designing smutty stickers, adding to my spectacular band t-shirt collection, or learning how to do something new like arm-knitting because I’m neurodivergent AF! And yes, I really do know how to knit with my arms.

One Kind Home


Title: One Kind Home
Series: One Kind Deed Series
Author: Christine DePetrillo
Genre: Steamy Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Small Town Romance, Second Chance, Forced Proximity, Bodyguard Hero
Release Date: April 25, 2024





How could Dolan’s stupid wink and a barely-there smile send such a scorching blaze through her?

It’s Claire Rayhill’s turn. All her siblings have found true love in Maplehaven. Clearly, she’s next. She’s been on a ton of dates since moving to small-town Vermont, but those guys haven’t given her that forever vibe. None of them have made her feel like she did six years ago on her one and only night with Dolan Fairmont. Her brother’s sexy bodyguard shifted her world right off its axis. Then he left. Claire has been spinning ever since, but she’s determined to find a nice guy who wants to make a home with her.

Until Dolan returns with the brick walls around his heart higher than ever. The mere sight of him has insults flying out of Claire’s mouth every time they are in each other’s company. Which is far too often. His singular focus on his job pisses her off, but the way he tracks her with those serious gray-blue eyes does something else entirely.

Dolan isn’t sure his brick walls will hold now that he’s back in Claire’s orbit. The sass that comes out of her mouth doesn’t affect him half as much as what that same mouth did to him six years ago. He’s never forgotten the power of her kiss or the fire of her touch, but his line of work is risky. He knows all too well that putting people he loves in danger is always a mistake. Better to not have Claire at all than to lose her.

When Dolan gets hurt, however, Claire surprises them both by volunteering to help. Will she regret that good deed? Will he?

Is one kind home enough to tear down all the walls around their fragile hearts?

One Kind Home is a second-chance, forced-proximity, small-town, contemporary romance with a bodyguard hero and a boudoir photography stylist who might just be picture perfect together.
Of all the ways she’d pictured spending her thirtieth birthday night, alone hadn’t been one of them.

Well, she hadn’t been completely alone actually. At around 2:00 a.m., a noise outside had made her crawl out of bed. She’d shuffled to the sliding doors that opened to a small deck off the back of the cottage. After turning on the floodlight back there, she’d been greeted by a fox. One with the tip of its left ear missing. It had apparently knocked over a pot of mums she had on a low garden table. Oddly, it hadn’t run off when it noticed her watching. Instead, the fox hopped up onto an Adirondack chair and settled into a tight circle, cat-like, on the flowered seat cushion.

Quietly, Claire had opened the door and slipped outside to sit in the other chair. She sat with the fox for about twenty minutes, the September night air cool, but cleansing somehow. When she’d bought the pair of Adirondack chairs, she’d pictured one for the soul mate she was sure to find soon. Sitting there with a wild fox instead seemed silly, but the critter wasn’t half-bad company.

Rubbing her eyes now and focusing back on the ceiling, Claire wondered if that fox was free tonight. Maybe if she kissed him, he’d turn into a prince or something.




 

Christine DePetrillo can often be found hugging trees, conversing with dragonflies, and walking barefoot through sun-warmed soil. She finds joy in listening to the wind, bathing in moonlight, and breathing in the fragrances of things that bloom. If she had her way, the sky would be the only roof over her head.

Her love of nature seeps into every story she tells. As does her obsession with bearded mountain men who build, often smell like sawdust, and know how to cherish the women they love. Today she writes tales meant to make you laugh, maybe make you sweat, and definitely make you believe in the power of love.

She lives in Vermont with her husband and many woodland creatures who defend her fiercely from all evils.
