Unveiled truths. Unrequited love. A world torn apart.

Mireille

When war threatened Europe, my parents sent me from our vineyard in France to safety in America, where I found a new life, with friends who become family. But even in a land untouched by the bombs, the shadows of war loomed over my heart. As secrets from my past emerge and the world around me is torn apart, I must confront the grief of loss, the weight of duty, and the delicate balance between love and loyalty.

Peter

I’ve always stood in the background—quiet, loyal, and resigned to love a woman I could never have. While her heart belonged to my best friend, mine was hers, a silent devotion that I buried beneath duty and the horrors of war. When tragedy sends me home, scarred and broken, I don’t expect to find healing in the life I left behind. But as grief turns into something deeper, I must decide if I have the courage to face a future shaped by love, hope, and loss.

The third installment in the Midnight Stars Saga follows Mireille Perrin, the baby Estelle entrusted to her twin sister Mauve in When Stars Fall at Midnight. Now grown and navigating the heartache of war, Mireille’s journey will unearth family truths, test her resilience, and challenge her heart in ways she never expected.

In this American Historical romance, Tess Thompson delivers a heartwarming, sweeping family saga filled with long- buried family secrets, unspoken desires, and characters torn between love and duty. A clean wartime that explores the power of second chances and healing nature of love is perfect for fans of 1940s historical fiction and WWII love stories. This sweet, inspirational tale will tug at heartstrings while reminding readers of the enduring resilience of the human spirit. 



Cover Reveal: The Riskiest Move (Silverbacks Football #3) by Jacob Chance

The Riskiest Move


Series: Silverbacks Football


by Jacob Chance


Release: January 29, 2025


Genre: Sports Romance

Tropes: Pro football player, grad student heroine, forced proximity, new stepbrother, opposites attract


Cover Design: Popkitty Designs


Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/222134417-silverbacks-football-3





Blurb:

I was looking forward to my first semester of grad school until I discovered I’d be living with my new stepbrother. And not just any stepbrother—Griffin Moore, the drop-dead gorgeous starting wide receiver for the Virginia Silverbacks. He’s also my mom’s idea of the perfect roommate.


However, he doesn’t want me in his space any more than I want to be here. I like my life the same way I like my men—quiet and predictable. Griffin is neither. His boisterous, larger-than-life personality makes me completely tongue-tied, and every time he smiles, my heart trips over the next beat.


And the worst part? He’s secretly become the inspiration for the hero in the romance novel I’m writing, and the words are flowing better than ever.


Now, I just need to survive living under the same roof as the man who makes me want to toss my rules out the window and risk everything for the love story I never planned on writing… my own.


But how can I do that when taking a chance on him would be the riskiest move of all?

X (Twitter) vs BlueSky


I am looking for suggestions/comments/opinions.

Has X (Twitter) become too political or troll infested to be viable these days?

Is BlueSky a valid replacement? Popular enough to add to my platforms for promotions?

Should X (Twitter) be kept and BlueSky added so that I publish on both?

Do you prefer one over the other?

Looking for honest input as I only have a limited time for posting but would like to reach as many people as possible.

Thank you for your time and any sharing.

Blitz: Passions by Sheritta Bitikofer with an excerpt and a giveaway

Passions

by Sheritta Bitikofer

Release date: January 10th, 2025

Genres: Adult, New Adult, Paranormal, Romance





Blurb:

His world was dark until she brought the light…

Chloe Kaspin has two dreams. Find a quiet place to recover from an abusive ex-boyfriend, and to make a living as a writer. The first dream is fulfilled when she inherits her beloved aunt’s cabin in the Georgia mountains. Now the second dream is up to her. Then she finds mysterious notes critiquing her work. Has a dangerous stranger managed to invade her refuge? Or is her cabin as haunted as the townsfolk say it is?

Gavin Caras immigrated from England to Georgia in 1733. While pursuing his dream of being a writer, his entire family is wiped out by a mysterious infection. Only Gavin survives, not only alone, but with a hunger that can only be satisfied by blood. For generations, he’s managed to hide in the basement of the cabin he built. But now his cabin is occupied by a woman who shares at least one of his passions: the world of the written word. Late one night, he finally reveals himself to her, not a ghost, but a man driven by an unholy hunger, a passion he would die to end if he could.

The autumn winds may be chilly but Gavin warms Chloe’s heart. Then children go missing in the nearby town. Has Gavin been lying to Chloe? She’s willing to help him find a way to end his blood-lust, but the cost may be too high. Chloe and Gavin can’t rewrite the past. Can they survive to write a new future together?

Purchase:




Excerpt:

“You needn’t change your schedule for my sake,” he said. She detected a quiver of a laugh in his voice, and it made her weak. “I would have preferred that you spend that time working on your novel.”
A frown formed between Chloe’s brows. He spoke as if he was her tutor or mentor rather than a colleague or—dare she think it—a friend. “Why is that so important to you?” she asked. 
Just as she finished her question, her clumsy hand made the serrated edge of the knife slip across the smooth skin of the tomato and straight into her left index finger. Blood had been drawn. 
Chloe hissed and dropped the knife in order to grip her finger. And all at once, the room began to spin. She wasn’t squeamish at the sight of blood, and the wound wasn’t deep enough to cause any debilitating pain. 
What made her feel faint was the knowledge that Gavin was in the cabin, and fresh blood had been drawn just several feet away. Chloe’s whole body trembled, knowing these few stuttered breaths may be her last. 
She had no idea what kind of control Gavin had over his hunger, and this was not part of her plan to find out. In fact, she never wanted to find out at all. 
Chloe turned and looked to Gavin, whose full attention was fixed on her. The lines on his face had gone hard, and his muscles tightened like a predator ready to pounce. But he didn’t pounce. Instead, he took gliding steps forward, his shoes finally making the soft tapping noise that she had expected to hear all along. 
As Gavin drew closer, she knew the smart thing would be to move away. Instead, she felt as if her body was not her own. Her legs moved without her bidding, turning her whole body to face him. And there she froze, fixated in one spot. 
Chloe had never experienced a heart attack, but she imagined it felt similar to what was going on in her body at that exact moment. Not only because of how intimidating Gavin was, but also how handsome and still unabashedly captivating. She felt her heart would explode with the intense feelings that swelled in her constricted chest. 
But she didn’t explode or even implode. She just stood there, shaking and holding her finger as blood oozed into her palm. 
Then she noticed a change in Gavin’s eyes. The once brilliant green was growing darker and darker until his irises were completely black and expanding out to plume over the white around it. He was nearly on top of her when she saw the red ring, as bright and fierce as a roaring flame, take the place of the green she’d come to love. 
What stared back at her were not the eyes of a handsome man but a vicious vampire. His lips parted ever so slightly and she could see his saliva glisten on his pointed fangs. 
If Chloe had any control whatsoever, she would have lost it completely anyway. If it weren’t for the mysterious force that kept her standing, she’d have fallen into a puddle on the kitchen floor.
She couldn’t breathe, she couldn’t think. Her core tightened for a few seconds as if to squeeze out the small tear that trickled down from the corner of her eye. She felt it glide over her cheek, cold and leaving a moist trail behind it. Could he see her cry? Did he care? 
He was so close now; close enough to see the pores on his skin. Would he bite her now? Rip out her throat? Or just suck on her finger until there was nothing left in her whole body? 
No. He did none of those things. Instead, he reached out and peeled back her hand that was holding her injured finger to reveal the mess beneath. Both palms were covered in her blood; the deep cut pounding sore and stinging. His touch was hot on her skin, burning and tingling with every stroke. 
He took her injured hand and eyed it with an otherworldly fascination as if he hadn’t seen human blood before. Perhaps he hadn’t. Or maybe it had been too long since his last human meal that he’d forgotten. 
Something broke the spell over his concentration, and Gavin looked towards the counter. There sat a roll of paper towels. He reached out and tore off a sheet, then began to clean up her wound. 
“Do you have a first aid kit?” he asked.

Blitz: My Heart's Desire (The Kincaid Brothers Series #2) by Heather Alexander with an excerpt and a giveaway

My Heart’s Desire

Series: The Kincaid Brothers Series, #2

by Heather Alexander

Release date: January 13th, 2025

Genres: Adult, Romance, Time-Travel


Blurb:

When her best friend’s name appears on a tombstone dated 1883, the only way for Amber Harrison to save her is to travel through a mysterious time portal to the Old West—

Destiny drops her in 1883 Montana at the feet of Josh Kincaid—a sexy, time-traveling deputy with plans of his own. Attraction stirs between Amber and Josh, and soon their flirtatious friendship blossoms into a fiery romance. Teaming up, they devise a rescue, but time isn’t their only enemy. An escaped convict, seeking his revenge on the Kincaids, interferes with their plans. In order to keep their future on its true course, they must stop their adversary’s plan from coming to fruition. Can they beat time and return to their rightful place, or will they be stranded in 1883 forever?

Purchase:



Excerpt:

Josh reached under her chin and tilted her face up to his. His gaze dropped from her eyes to her lips and remained there. “Timing has to be perfect…for everything.”

“Everything…?” she asked, breathlessly. Josh lowered his head and pressed his mouth against hers. His tongue traced the outline of her lips before slipping into her mouth. Amber leaned into him, sliding her hands around his neck, tugging him closer. He drew her against his rock-solid body while his searing tongue continued its exploration, colliding with hers in a perfect, eager rhythm. And, oh, did she drink in the delicious taste of him. His lips were warm and sweet. Jolts of fire spread through her body in all directions, heat surging to her core. 

For days, weeks, she wondered what it would be like to kiss him, to feel his lips on hers, to be in his arms. He did not disappoint. 

Her heart pounded, and her senses short-circuited. She reveled in the delicious taste of his kiss, until he pulled away but continued to shower her with more kisses around her lips and along her jaw. Heat sizzled in her veins. Her mind tuned out everything wrong in their world…except this moment. This moment was perfect. She savored every kiss, every heartbeat, every breath. 

Josh’s lips returned to hers. Her knees weakened, and she tightened her grip so she wouldn’t fall. He groaned and slowly pulled away, leaving her body on fire and barely able to stand. 

His eyes were heavily lidded, and his breath came in short bursts. “I’ve been wanting to do that for a while now, sweets.” 

She licked her lips, trying to get her breathing under control. “Oh?” 

“Don’t give me, oh. If your response to my kiss now is any indication, I’d say you wanted me to kiss you for a while, as well.” 

She gazed up into his mesmerizing eyes and smiled. “You bet I did.” 

He smiled smugly. “Good.” 

She couldn’t recall the last time she felt like this, where butterflies erupted in her belly and her insides were all a hot mess. And if she gazed into his eyes much longer, she would totally lose herself forever.

Blurb:

Caught red-handed. FUBAR. Soup Sandwich.

All terms that would describe my current predicament.

Just a few months ago, I was happy as can be, reuniting with my childhood friend and realizing she was the one for me.

Then, the senator entered the picture—aka my father—and everything went sideways.

Now Isla looks at me with distrust. The love that used to shine bright in her eyes is replaced with wariness. I’d give anything for a do-over, but since that’s not going to happen, I’ll have to find another way to make it up to her.

So, when she gets a job offer in New York, I go with her, eager to be of any help I can.

But I may also be holding back another secret. I’m not exactly certain it’s safe for her to go. Which will be another strike against me if I get caught.

Enter Fox.

He’ll be my backup, working with me to ensure her safety at all times. I know I can’t follow her wherever she goes. Eventually, she’ll push me away.

It’s a foolproof plan. It can’t fail.

At least, that’s what I thought.

Author Bio:

I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
