Book launches June 18—International Picnic Day!

Celebrate by grabbing a blanket, heading to Central Park, and sharing a storytime picnic with Katy the singing cat!

 

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This was a cute story with some educational points. Katy was a singing cat who wanted to spend time with her person, Lilian, in Central Park. Topics broached included bullies, thieves, judging people and situations without knowing more, the value of friendship, and the price of fame. I loved the interactions with Weasel, friend and security. There was a fun romp through Central Park, and I enjoyed the facts about the Park and places within it that followed the story.

Abigail Parker just wants to get through the holidays, but fate has other plans...

After a year of unexpected twists, Abigail finds herself in the small town of Sugarville Grove, Vermont, as the guardian of her late cousin's two young children. Leaving behind her bustling city life and dream job at a veterinary practice, Abigail's only goal is to adjust to her new responsibilities and figure out how to be the mother they need. Falling for her rugged, no-nonsense neighbor is definitely not part of the plan.

Luke Hayes has his hands full raising his lively four-year-old daughter, Lily, while managing his family's maple syrup farm. With his heart still scarred from being abandoned by Lily's mother, Luke has sworn off romance. But when a broken fence and a mischievous dog bring Abigail into his life, he starts to wonder if maybe love isn't as far out of reach as he thought.

As the holiday lights sparkle and the snow falls, Abigail and Luke find themselves drawn together, despite their differences. But with Abigail adjusting to her new life and Luke determined to protect his heart, it will take more than a little Christmas magic to bring them together.

Welcome to Sugarville Grove, where holiday charm, second chances, and unexpected romance are always in the air. Life is sweet in Sugarville Grove! Be sure to check out the rest of the series!

His ring isn't the only thing wrapped around her finger…

Ashton Beck has been in love with his best friend's little sister forever, but Lucy was always off limits. Now they're both grown up, and he's finally back home in small town Trinity Falls, working his dream job as a firefighter. When he hears that her engagement was broken off, Ashton knows the time to declare his feelings has finally come.

But a tragic accident leaves Ashton suddenly caring for a toddler before he has a chance.

Becoming Kaylee's dad is the best thing that has ever happened to Ashton. But changing diapers, preparing tiny meals, and trying to convince Kaylee's social worker that he's truly worthy of adopting the little one all keep him too busy to offer Lucy the fairytale romance he knows she deserves.

When a chance encounter around the holidays has him claiming to be her new fiancé, the wrong people hear about it, and the two decide they have no choice but to keep the ruse going. But as their fake engagement becomes entangled with real feelings, even those who are in on the secret realize something more is happening.

Will the two open their eyes to the Christmas miracle that is right in front of them? Or will Lucy and Ashton be the last to know that the only people they are fooling with this fake engagement are themselves?

Trinity Falls Sweet Romance is all about finding family – one clean & wholesome romance at a time.

From a widower discovering he has feelings for his kids' nanny, to a soldier finding out about a secret baby, to a single dad falling in love with his child's preschool teacher, you'll lose yourself in these feel-good books celebrating love, family, and the very special small town community of Trinity Falls.

Blurb:

Never give up on second chances.

Cuckoo has always been a jokester. He’s the type of guy who sees humor in everything because, at one time, he never thought he’d ever laugh again.

It began in tender years when he found an old trunk full of costumes. A Beggar’s Night filled with candy, secrets, and screams. Cuckoo can still hear the shrill sounds in his dreams.

And then there was her. His foster sister and the little angel he swore to protect. Cuckoo took those beatings for her. He lied for her. He gave up everything. . . for Katrina.

And then she disappeared. A ghost in the darkness. He never saw her again.

Twelve years later, Cuckoo still has all those costumes. He checks every corner and peers through every open door. Because he knows someday he’ll see his angel again.

He just never expects to collide with her while riding his Harley. Katrina isn’t the little girl from his childhood, but he isn’t the same boy either. They’re both trying to shove the past behind a locked door.

But the funny thing about trauma? It never stays hidden. With Katrina’s life in danger and the clock ticking, Cuckoo must find a way to keep her safe and end the bastard threatening them both.

And this masked vigilante role? It’s one Cuckoo was born to play.

Cuckoo is a full-length, dark romance with a paranormal twist, violence, biker slang, forced proximity, and a protective stalker outlaw in a foster sibling, friends-to-lovers, second chance, suspenseful adventure. For best enjoyment, the series should be read in order since ongoing storylines and characters appear throughout and overlap.

Audiobook Release: Mine: The Anti-Hero by Amanda McKinney, narrators Allison River and Gideon Frost

MINE (The Anti-Hero) by Amanda McKinney is now live in audio!

Narrated by: Allison River & Gideon Frost

A reclusive anti-hero, a forbidden love, and a twisted mansion full of secrets collide in this steamy, emotionally charged romantic thriller by bestselling author Amanda McKinney.

Astor Stone built an empire on power, secrets, and control. But when he receives a ransom note for his estranged wife—the woman he’s kept hidden for years—he’s forced to play someone else’s game. The plan is simple: attend an exclusive party, get her back, and walk away.

Until Sabine Hart walks in.

When the night takes a deadly turn, Astor makes a ruthless decision: take his enemy’s daughter as collateral. Just for one night. ...But obsession doesn’t follow rules.

Sabine Hart never expected to end up the captive of a darkly handsome, dangerous man in a tucked-away mansion with creepy rooms and an even creepier housekeeper. But the longer she stays, the more Astor pulls her in—and the harder it becomes to tell the threat from the temptation.

Because in Astor’s world, passion is power.

And falling for him may be the most dangerous move of all.

MINE is a seductive dark romance packed with steamy enemies-to-lovers tension, jaw-dropping twists, and a possessive anti-hero you won’t forget.

No cliffhangers.

Blurb Reveal: Before We Break Again by Claudia Burgoa

Before We Break Again by @Claudia_b30 releases October 22nd.

You’re definitely not ready for this angsty, spicy, and so emotionally unhinged story.

USA Today Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa delivers a soul-shattering MMF romance with friendship turned to all-consuming love, and the desperate, last hope that maybe love really can survive everything that tried to destroy it.

We were inseparable once.

Three hearts tangled in a small town no one escapes, bound by secrets, sorrow, and something that always felt like fate.

We were always meant to find each other.

Even if the world tried to break us apart.

Even if love arrived far too soon.

We were just kids trying to make it through.

But together, we made something sacred.

Until the day it all shattered.

Now we’re adults with scarred hearts and fractured trust. 

The love we shared wasn’t big—It was everything.

And if we dare to rebuild it . . .

We risk destroying ourselves all over again.

BEFORE WE BREAK includes a hockey player who is denying the boy he used to be and the one he loves, a rock-star who clings to his music while addiction claws at him and a doctor who can’t stitch everything together, even though she wishes she could.

🔥 If you love…

✔ Second chances & childhood sweethearts
