On Sea Smoke Island, secrets never stay buried—and the truth is never safe.

Every time Detective Tina Chen comes to Sea Smoke Island, two things happen. One, criminals get busted. Two, she nearly loses her lunch on the boat ride over. This time, maybe things will be different. She’s on vacation, for one thing. Mandated vacation. But what kind of vacation would it be without an investigation to keep her busy? Enter Marigold Olson, who hires her to locate the mystery man who ditched her at the altar. His trail takes Tina to the Lightkeeper Inn and a head-on collision with … her longtime TV crush?

Jack Finnegan is no detective, though he plays one on a long-running crime series. But since no one will believe him that his sister Jessie’s in trouble, finding her is on him. Why has she disappeared from their grandparents’ old cottage on Sea Smoke? Who was the man she was seeing? And why can’t he shake the feeling that something has gone terribly wrong? Teaming up with the hot badass cop Tina is a no-brainer, at least for him. He’s not the one with the crush…not yet.

On Sea Smoke Island, the connections go deep, and soon Tina and Jack are dodging bullets and getting drawn into a notorious unsolved murder. And that’s before they discover they’ve stumbled onto a secret more dangerous than they ever imagined. What is the truth behind Night Light? Can they unbury it before it buries them?

NIGHT LIGHT is an opposites attract, reverse grumpy/sunshine, romantic suspense set on the hauntingly beautiful coast of Maine.

Welcome to Saddle Ridge, where life is hard and love is wild...

Maddox

I'm no stranger to hard work. I've got a family ranch that's on the brink of collapse, a grandfather whose health is fading, and a laundry list of other responsibilities that demand my constant attention.

Every sunrise brings a new fight. There's no time to worry about what might have been with the girl who got away.

But it seems I've avoided Amelia King for as long as I can.

One reckless ranch hand making trouble at her bar is more than I can afford. Her outlaw cousin and his gang of gearheads won't take kindly to the mess my man has made. So I swallow my pride and head into town to make things right.

The moment I spot her, she takes my breath away. Still gorgeous and igniting that familiar fire in my veins, just the sight of her brings back all of my memories. But before I can grab a broom or write a check for the damages, an unexpected phone call interrupts our chaotic reunion.

With my grandfather's legacy now on the line, I'm desperate to preserve it if it's the last thing I do. We're facing an enemy with a dangerous connection to Amelia of all people, and they're determined to stop me no matter who gets hurt in the process. As the stakes get higher, lives hang in the balance, so I do exactly what my sister begs me not to. Forming an alliance with the Fallen Demons Motorcycle Club could cost my family everything. But there's something more dangerous than going into business with the outlaws: admitting I'm in love with their vice president's cousin.

She's been looking for the right man her entire life.
Everyone knows who it is—except her.

Single mom Esme Taylor doesn't do risk. Not anymore. She runs her flower shop in the small coastal town of Willet Cove, raises two kids, and never again depends on a man who might leave when things get hard.

But there's one man she lets close.

Grady Nash has been her best friend for five years. He fixes what breaks, shows up when she calls, and loves her kids unconditionally. He feels like everything she needs.

Which is exactly the problem.

Because Grady runs a surf shop, lives simply, and seems content with very little. To Esme—who needs security, stability, a man with a future—he looks like everything she can't afford to risk.

What she doesn't know is that Grady is hiding a past so toxic, he'll do anything to keep it from touching her life.

A past that comes with a fortune he's never claimed. A scandal that destroyed everything he was. And a truth that—if it ever surfaces—could bring danger and scrutiny crashing down on the family he's sworn to protect.

When buried feelings force them past the safety of friendship, Esme must decide if she can trust the man who's been lying to her for years.

And Grady must choose between the life he's built in the shadows—or risking everything, including her safety, for the love he's never stopped wanting.

Because some secrets are kept to protect the people we love.
And some will test whether love is strong enough to survive the truth.

A clean and wholesome friends-to-lovers romance set in a small coastal town from USA Today Bestselling author Tess Thompson.

Kane
Tonight wasn’t supposed to happen.
I told myself it wouldn’t happen.
But then she slid onto the barstool next to me, and just like the rest of the men in my family, I let a woman fuck with my plan. I’d chastised my father over the years for letting women interfere with his business. I’d warned my brother not to take the route he took—which involved getting close to a woman. Both ended up six feet under, thanks to the stupid choices they’d made regarding women.
I knew better.
She’s an Antonov.
I want what they have.
What’s owed to my family.
But I wasn’t supposed to want her.
Yet one look in Brielle’s eyes, and I was throwing everything out the window for one night with her.
She’s nothing like I expected—in the best way.
She’s fiercely independent.
Strong.
Beautiful.
And broken.
One conversation with her, and I wanted to be the one to put her pieces back together.
And that only makes what I’m about to do that much harder.
Because I’m not here to save Brielle Antonov.
And then an idea forms … because who says that just because I’m here to avenge my father’s death, I can’t also have her?
Her family owes mine.
And I’m here to collect.
And now I’m adding one more item to the list—Brielle Antonov.
She’s mine.

Ebook Review: The Secret Lives of Murderers' Wives by Elizabeth Arnott

 

Blurb: 

A remarkable trio whose lives have been cracked wide open by their husbands’ crimes unite to catch a serial killer in this dazzlingly captivating novel.

Beverley, Elsie, and Margot are not your average housewives. They are all wives of convicted killers. During the sun-drenched summer of 1966, the three women form an unlikely friendship after the discoveries of their husbands’ brutal crimes. With their exes—some of California’s most infamous murderers—dead or behind bars, they are attempting to forge a new future for themselves.

Headstrong Beverley tries compulsively to maintain control of everything around her, all while raising two children. Bookish Elsie fights to make a name for herself in the newsroom, working among men who sneer at her career goals. Glamorous Margot prefers partying to homemaking and devotes all her energy to upholding the appearance that everything is fine—anything to quell the shame from her husband’s deceit.

They know people look at them and think only one thing: How could they not have known what their husbands were doing? How much are they to blame? And yet when a string of local killings hits the news, the three women—underestimated, overlooked, shrewd—decide to get to work. After all, who better to catch a killer than those who have shared their lives and homes with one?

At once a riveting portrayal of shattered trust and a story of gripping suspense, The Secret Lives of Murderers' Wives is a testament to the intricacies of women’s lives and how the deep bonds of female friendship can empower, uplift, and lead us to endure.

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. I enjoyed the trip into the 60's, the references, etc. as well as a look at what the lives of those who were married to killers were living. Beverley, Elsie, and Margot did their own investigations, found clues, and tried to help others. I had an inkling as to who was doing the killing, but it did take me until about 2/3 of the way through the story. Some parts were slow due to the in-depth descriptions of the three friends and their pasts, but it was definitely an interesting story.

I received an ARC through Netgalley, and this is my unsolicited review.

Book Tour: Long Lost Midwife by Skye Smith with an excerpt

Long Lost Midwife

by Skye Smith

Historical Fiction | Race & Identity | Women’s Stories | 1930s America

Date Published: September 19, 2025

Publisher: MindStir Media

Set against the charged racial landscape of 1934 St. Louis, Long Lost Midwife is a gripping historical novel about identity, obsession, and the dangerous cost of defying social order.

Pamela appears to be a privileged young white socialite, newly married and expecting her first child. But beneath the polished surface lies a restless, unsettled woman struggling against the suffocating expectations placed upon her. As her pregnancy advances, Pamela becomes fixated on one thing: finding Miss Minnie, the Black midwife who delivered her at home in 1911.

Her request ignites fierce resistance. Both families condemn the idea, and Pamela’s husband, Frank, fearing scandal and loss of control, tightens his grip—bringing in relatives to monitor her movements and even hiring surveillance to ensure she never makes contact with the midwife. Determined and increasingly reckless, Pamela secretly pressures her Black maid to help locate Miss Minnie, setting in motion a chain of events neither family can contain.

What begins as a quiet domestic drama escalates into a volatile confrontation with race, power, and truth. As long-buried histories surface, the search for a midwife becomes a catalyst for racial tension, betrayal, and violence—raising the chilling question: will this birth end in life… or murder?

Long Lost Midwife starts with measured restraint and builds relentlessly toward a tempestuous, unforgettable conclusion. It is a haunting exploration of white blindness, Black resilience, and the fragile illusions that sustain privilege in early 20th-century America.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:

● Thought-provoking historical fiction

● Novels examining race, class, and gender

● Character-driven stories set in pre-Civil Rights America

● Books that begin quietly and end with devastating force

 

Excerpt: 

In St. Louis, Franklin and Pamela Dorset lived in a house of many rooms in the coveted Central West End neighborhood of the city. In 1932, at the time of their marriage, only wealthy white people owned homes there. Shortly after their honeymoon on the European continent, they moved into Fullerton’s Westminster Place, a tony subsection of the CWE. Grand and spacious, their home had three stories, six bedrooms and a prominent pointy-roofed turret.

Frank was twenty-six, his wife twenty-one. For their house, they paid a third of the cost. With only two years under his belt as an attorney in his father’s firm, Frank paid his and his wife’s third with the bulk of his wedding present. His parents paid a third as did hers. Née Lucas, Pamela put her wedding monies into escrow for future household expenses.

About the Author

Skye Smith is a historical fiction author and retired mechanical designer whose career spanned decades of designing complex machinery using advanced computer-aided design (CAD) systems. That background in precision and structure deeply informs Smith’s approach to storytelling—where narrative architecture, historical accuracy, and character motivation are carefully engineered.

During the final ten years of a professional career, Smith moderated the Plymouth Writers Group, a MeetUp-based genre writing collective composed of engineers, doctors, legal professionals, technical writers, and MFA graduates. Within this collaborative environment, Smith completed first drafts of three novels, with two additional works developed independently.

Smith holds a degree in History from St. John’s University in Collegeville, Minnesota, an academic foundation that profoundly shapes the thematic and contextual grounding of the work. Historical setting, for Smith, is never decorative—it is the backbone of character behavior and moral conflict.

Another significant creative influence comes from many years singing in Sonomento, a Minneapolis-based operatic choir active until 2024. Immersion in opera introduced Smith to the disciplined exactness of musical phrasing and libretto, where text is fluid, expressive, and shaped by emotional register. That sense of linguistic “plasticity” carries directly into Smith’s prose style.

Long Lost Midwife reflects these influences in a novel that begins with restraint and builds toward controlled chaos—examining race, power, and identity in 1930s America with precision, tension, and historical depth.

He doesn’t just want to keep her secret. He wants to keep her.

Larsen
Back in the city, owning a car was optional.
Here in the small town of Wolf Valley, though, where snowstorms hit at a moment’s notice, driving is a survival skill.
Too bad I never learned.
I could have kept my little secret, but then I accidentally confessed it to the grumpiest, broad-shouldered, ridiculously handsome man in town.
Now Kian is teaching me to drive in the most secretive late-night lessons ever, and every time he growls “eyes on the road,” all I can think about is him.
Learning to parallel park shouldn’t feel like falling in love, but with him, I’m in serious danger. And not just from the snowdrifts.

Kian
This all started because the curvy little blonde asked me if I could keep a secret.
When I had grunted yes, she leaned in and whispered in my ear that she didn’t know how to drive a car and was too embarrassed to tell anyone.
Now, I’m giving Larsen driving lessons every night in secret.
Every night, it’s just the two of us in my truck…her laughing, me losing my mind, and both of us pretending this is only about driving lessons.
But I’ve got a secret too.
I’ve been in love with Larsen since the second she crashed into my life.

So, I’ll teach her how to drive, I’ll keep her secret, but one way or another, I’m going to make her mine.

Christian
I became a doctor to help people, so when my pack asked me to join Midnight Haven, it was a no-brainer.
I’ve been helping to heal the sick or injured people we save for a few months now, and everything has been going smoothly.
Until she was brought in.
My wolf knows instantly that we’ve finally found our fated mate.
Now we have two problems.
Keeping her alive… and convincing her we’re meant to be together.

Quinn
Leave it to me to turn a relaxing hike into a life-or-death experience.
One minute I was walking along the trail, and the next, I’m getting shot.
Luckily for me, help is nearby.
It sucks that the rest of my vacation will be spent recovering, but I’m just happy to be alive.
Until Dr. Christian McAdams comes into my room and drops a bomb on me.
I’m his.
Now I have a choice to make.
Do I go back to my old life, or take a leap of faith with the sexy shifter doctor?

On this ranch, there will be a reckoning.

Shadow

Her grandfather's sacrifice was supposed to spare her from this life, but his death has pulled her right back home to the ranch she thought she'd left behind for good. Now she's fighting with her brother for the right to save it. She has a plan but no one will listen to her.

Her brother's solution is to bring in outsiders, that's what she says. He claims without the club's help, the ranch is doomed. 

But I see the genius in Della's vision. 

And this ain't our first rodeo. Literally. 

Now we're up against more than just her brother. Between small minds, big business, and a bunch of folks who don't think Della belongs here, she's determined to prove everyone wrong. And I'm determined to prove to her the spark that's igniting between us is a whole lot more than basic attraction. Can we protect what's rightfully hers—and ours—or will outside forces burn our new dreams to ashes?

Teaser: What Lies Between Us (Dark Refuge #3) by Maddie Taylor

Will they cross the line between their cover for the mission and the truth of their feelings?   

What Lies Between Us by Romantic Fiction by Maddie Taylor is ready to preorder now!

🔗 https://geni.us/WhatLiesBetweenUs

She played a part for the mission. Falling for him wasn’t in the plan.

Gabriella Flores goes undercover at Devil’s Pointe to find the monsters who stole her sister. She plans deception and prepares for danger. What she finds is entirely unexpected: the one man who awakens something fierce and undeniable inside her. Her pretense is necessary. The fallout is devastating.

Rhys Langston built his life on control and precision, trusting nothing he can’t contain. When Gaby’s cover is blown and her past as a detective comes to light, he’s tempted to walk away—to protect himself. Instead, he steps in. As her partner. Her protector. And, for the sake of the mission, the man she must pretend to belong to.

Forced to work side by side, they follow the last fragile trail that may lead to Gaby’s sister—posing as something far more intimate than either anticipated. Every shared risk, every calculated touch draws them closer, blurring the line between cover and truth.

As the hunt closes in on a powerful enemy who plays for keeps, Gaby and Rhys must rely on the very bond that shouldn’t exist. Because when everything is on the line, it isn’t the truth that threatens to break them—it’s what lies between them.

About Maddie:

A USA Today and #1 international bestselling author, Maddie is a lifelong reader who became a romance junkie as a teen with her first romance novel, The Wolf and the Dove by Kathleen Woodiwiss. From then on, she was hooked, and gobbled up everything she could get her hands on, whether contemporary, historical, paranormal or sci-fi. If there was romance to be found between a strong alpha male, and a sassy, adventurous and ofttimes defiant yet loving woman, Maddie was all over it. As an author, she stays true to those themes writing steamy erotic romance, with a side of kink, and adding elements of intrigue, danger and suspense to her plots.

Maddie started writing as a hobby. Her stories stayed private while she raised a family and worked full time as a registered nurse. It wasn't until 2012 that she decided to take the plunge and submit her first book for publication: Captain My Captain. She went on to publish eleven novels the first year.
