• Single Dad

• Bookish Hero

• Found Family

Blurb:

NHL goalie Sebastian Voss can stop a hundred-mile-an-hour slapshot. Convincing a judge he deserves custody of his daughter? That’s proving considerably harder.

His solution? A fake marriage to the woman he’s already falling for.

For three years, Sebastian has fought to keep the little girl who means everything to him. But a steady stream of headlines portraying him as hockey’s favorite womanizing disaster has left his reputation in tatters and his custody case hanging by a thread.

If Sebastian wants to prove he can offer his daughter the stable home she deserves, Kat Morrison is his best shot.

She’s smart, beautiful, inexplicably unimpressed by his charm, and the first woman in years who makes Sebastian want something for himself. Asking a woman he barely knows to become his wife is probably insane. Falling for her before she ever says yes is definitely worse.

But if putting a ring on Kat’s finger gives Sebastian a better chance at keeping his daughter, he’ll risk his heart without hesitation.

Kat knows saying yes is a mistake.

Not because she doesn’t love him.

Because she does.

For three years, Kat has been forced to write the lies destroying Sebastian’s reputation, blackmailed into obedience by the one man who holds her brother’s future in his hands.

But now Kat is living in his house, wearing his ring, loving his daughter, and falling deeper for the family she was supposed to help destroy. Somewhere between stolen kisses, tangled sheets, and building a life together, their fake marriage starts feeling dangerously like forever.

Except forever has an expiration date when it’s built on a secret.

And Kat knows that when Sebastian discovers the truth, she may lose the only man she’s ever loved.

About the Author:

Eden Sloane believes the best love stories aren't about perfect people. They're about imperfect people who keep choosing each other, even after the truth changes everything.

She writes emotionally charged contemporary romance featuring devoted heroes, resilient heroines, impossible choices, and love worth risking everything for. Her stories celebrate the courage it takes to love completely.

When she's not plotting emotional damage (followed by well-earned happily ever afters), Eden can usually be found gardening, trying to win an ongoing battle with the weeds in her yard, drinking far too much caffeine, enjoying a nightcap while watching BBC crime dramas with her husband, and keeping tabs on her four children. 

And if you're reading this during the winter, please send warm thoughts. Eden is somewhere in the Midwest, questioning every life choice that led her to a place where the air hurts her face.

Narrator Reveal: One Step Closer (Peachtree Lane #1) by Laura Pavlov, narrators Andi Arndt and Aiden Snow

Laura Pavlov has revealed the narrators for One Step Closer!

Narrated by: Andi Arndt & Aiden Snow

Releasing December 8, 2026

From USA Today bestselling author Laura Pavlov comes a searingly warm and witty romance between an NFL player looking for a second chance and the innkeeper who gives him one.

With a championship loss under his belt and an ex-girlfriend’s bad press on his heels, quarterback Maverick Storm just needs to lie low. He escapes to Peachtree to lick his wounds and reevaluate his life. But the owner of the local inn soon puts his heart in a twist.

Hazel Adams isn’t one to make rash decisions—with her inn or her emotions. Seeing your ex-boyfriend and former best friend together does something to a person, though. And kissing a sexy stranger turns out to be Hazel’s something.

That kiss inspires Hazel and Maverick to try fake dating as a temporary fix for all their problems. But when the paparazzi catches wind of the unexpected romance, they’re in for a more long-term arrangement.

As they grow closer, their guards begin to come down. But with their lifestyles at odds and their hearts at stake, they’ll have to decide whether to make their connection real—or keep pretending it’s not.

Bookbub: https://t.ly/oyuj3

Genre/Tropes:

Small Town Romance

Emotional Scars

A Doozy of a Secret

Willing to risk everything for her

Blurb:

I’d risked a lot in my life because of my job.

Pedos? Eliminated.

Cheating spouses? They always seemed to have an accident.

People who couldn’t pay their dues? Well, they needed to be taught a lesson.

The list went on and on, and I’d never once cared about the sacrifice I was making.

Until her.

Feisty, funny as hell, cute as a button…

But that all changed the night of the fire.

The night I ran in and nearly died for her.

Hell, she nearly died.

It was sheer luck that she survived that night. By all accounts, she should have died.

And that should have been my wakeup call, my chance to turn it all around.

But my life was not my own, and if she ever found out, it would be the end of whatever this was between us.

I’m no good for her, but I never wanted to change my life as much as the night I heard her Whisper My Name.

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.

A fresh start was supposed to be simple—until love moved in next door.

Retired hockey player Sam Hansen isn’t looking for love. Not after losing his wife, not when his only priority is giving his daughter a stable, happy life.

A fresh start in Chapman feels like the right move—until a shattered window introduces him to his beautiful, complicated neighbor… and turns his carefully controlled world upside down.

Ronnie Talbot has already rebuilt her life once. Now settled in her new hometown with her two daughters, she’s focused on her career, her family, and keeping things simple. No distractions. No heartbreak.

Then Sam walks in. Steady, kind, and far too tempting to ignore.

As their children form an unexpected bond, Sam and Ronnie find themselves drawn together in ways neither of them planned… and both of them fear.

But opening their hearts again means risking everything they’ve worked so hard to protect.

And this time, love isn’t just about them— 

It’s about the family they might become.

Bloodstained Chrome 

by E.C. Land 

Available now!

https://geni.us/BloodstainedChrome

The beast inside me never needed anyone until her...

Primal

I don't play well with others. Solitude suits the lion clawing at my insides. Especially when she's in the room.

Sibley is an anomaly. Older than time but hauntingly pure. She's been waiting for her mate, and she's convinced that I'm him. But I don't do destiny and I'm not interested in forever.

So why can't I get her out of my head and out of my space?

Because the ruthless predator inside me knows the truth. Every time she looks at me, the hunger grows. No matter how high I build the walls, the ancient tether between us just gets stronger. And a beast can only ignore his nature for so long.

Eventually, I'm going to stop running. And when I do, no one will stop me from making her mine.

About E.C. Land

E.C. Land grew up in the country and has it deep in her bones. As she grew up, if she wasn’t out on the ball field or playing in the woods, she had her nose stuck in a book. Now she writes romantic suspense stories, specializing in MC (motorcycle club) romance. She plans to broaden her writing horizons in the near future and move into other forms of romantic suspense. When she’s not writing, she’s spending time with her husband, three kids, and fur babies.
