I’ve been called a lot of things in my life—gruff, intense, overprotective—but grumpy? That’s a new one.

After losing my wife, I left the noise of professional hockey and billion-dollar boardrooms behind, trading city chaos for small-town peace in Passion Pointe, Tennessee. I’ve got one mission: raise my son right and keep our world calm, quiet, and free from emotional chaos.

Then Linda Carter shows up, all curves, sass, and bright opinions wrapped in a nanny application.

She’s completely wrong for the job… and somehow, exactly what my son needs.

What I didn’t expect? That I’d need her just as much.

One smile from her turns my world upside down. One laugh makes the walls I’ve built start to crack. And the way she looks at me? It’s dangerous.

But she’s got rules, and so do I.
Rule #1: Don’t get attached.
Rule #2: Don’t mix business with pleasure.
Rule #3: Definitely don’t fall for the nanny.

Too late.

Because the more time I spend with Linda, the more I realize this fiery, big-hearted woman isn’t just helping us heal—she might be the piece we didn’t know we were missing.

And if breaking every rule is what it takes to make her ours?

Well then...

They can call me grumpy all they want.

"Rule #1: Never Call Him Grumpy" is a heartwarming closed-door hockey romance featuring a protective billionaire single dad, a sassy curvy nanny who refuses to be intimidated, and the small town that might just help them heal. Perfect for readers who love emotional stories with all the feels but none of the steam.

Bride by Coronation



Title: Bride by Coronation
Series: The Underworld #2
Author: Maggie Cole
Genre: Dark Romance
Tropes: Secret Society/Arranged Marriage/Age Gap
Beauty and the Beast Vibes/Family Enemies
Release Date: June 1, 2025


BLURB

The continuation of International bestselling author Maggie Cole's highly-received secret society, drenched in dark undertones, next-generation Mafia series about two enemy lovers never meant to be together until one action catapulted their arranged marriage. Now, Fiona O'Malley and Kirill Petrov will have to let go of their preconceived notions, emotional scars, and everything they knew to be true about themselves.

My brother arranged for me to marry a stranger, one marked with a diagonal scar across his face and a tattoo necklace on his hand.

Neither disgusts me. They also aren't what scares me.

Kirill Petrov's a sworn enemy of our family and King of the Underworld. A towering man with darkness in his gaze, an unspoken promise of what he'll do to me, and something so deep in his expression it hurts my heart.

Yet the blaze of his allure only grows hotter, singing, until I can't resist him any longer… until I'm his Queen wearing his necklace night after night, staring at the beast inside his soul.

If I could, I'd kill that beast until the world saw my husband as the man I see—the man I love.

Except I give him my heart before I learn the full truth. And once you see the unforgettable, how can you go back? How can you forgive your husband for sins that aren't his, yet he's tied to? Especially when the people you love got hurt in the most vile of ways?

Bride by Coronation is a standalone novel with interconnected characters and book two of The Underworld series. This dark, secret society, Mafia, enemies to lovers, forbidden, arranged marriage, and emotional scars novel is not meant for the faint of heart. Expect violence, taboo, and graphic scenes.
