For a chance to save his daughter, he’ll do whatever it takes…

Sebastian Voss has spent the last three years fighting for custody of the little girl who means everything to him. Between a narcissistic ex-wife, her new fiancé, and a steady stream of damaging headlines painting him as the NHL’s favorite womanizing disaster, Sebastian is running out of options.

Then he lands on one reckless, desperate solution. He needs a wife.

Kat Morrison should be the last woman he asks. He barely knows anything about her except for her storm-gray eyes, freckles, and captivating aura.

But Sebastian has been gone for her since the moment they met, and if marrying Kat gives him a better chance at keeping his daughter safe, he’ll risk everything.

Even his heart.

Kat knows saying yes is a mistake.

Not because she doesn’t love him.

Because she does.

For three years, she’s been forced to write the lies that have damaged Sebastian’s reputation and cost him chance after chance in court. Blackmailed into obedience to save her brother’s life, Kat has become the weapon aimed straight at the only man who’s ever made her feel safe.

Now she’s living in his house, wearing his ring, loving his daughter, and falling deeper for the family she was supposed to help destroy.

But the closer Sebastian and Kat get, the harder it becomes to tell where the lie ends and forever begins.

And when the truth finally comes out, Sebastian could lose more than custody of his daughter.

He could lose the woman he’s loved all along.

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.

Blurb: 

Returning to Sydney, Detective Ramesh Ryan is promoted to the Homicide Squad. Zoe Yang joins him there. Now a detective herself, she is assigned as his junior partner. Straight up, the cops are off and running-investigating the discovery of a murdered company director. Following the clues, Detective Ryan finds that this and a second murder may be linked to past events.

As the pressure mounts for a quick solution to the case, the detective finds that he too, is in the killer's crosshairs. But Ryan is distracted from the investigation by a romantic encounter with an old university friend. He also worries about his mother, Mumta, and her new obsessive desire for grandchildren from her only son. Could this be linked to her recent medical tests? And there's another pressing problem-the plague of rats in his apartment block.

Detective Ryan's hands are well and truly full!

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. This story was full of twists and turns, multiple suspects, murders, and even attempted murder. I enjoyed the working relationship between Detective Ramesh Ryan and Detective Zoe Yang as they began their partnership. He was teaching her and slowing evolving with her assistance. Ramesh was very observant and willing to accept some of Zoe's comments to help him figure out the clues. With some personal issues on his side, this was quite a bumpy journey to solving multiple crimes. I was pulled into the story from the beginning though there were a couple slow moments, but overall a good read.

I received a copy through RABT, and this is my unsolicited review.

Now he's playing our holiday. And we're all in way over our heads—falling in love and making our sinful secret more than a delicious holiday treat.

The Rebecca Mayfield Mysteries

One O'Clock Hustle, Two O'Clock Heist, Three O'Clock Séance

by Joanne Pence

Romantic Suspense, Romantic Mystery

Date Published: October 20, 2026

Three mysteries. One reluctant partnership. And a dangerous attraction neither of them can ignore.

 

In One O’Clock Hustle, Richie Amalfi is accused of murder. Instead of fleeing, he turns to Rebecca Mayfield, a fiercely independent, by-the-book cop, for help. She soon discovers that solving the case may require her to bend a few rules—and that the charming man she’s determined not to trust may be the only person who can help her.

In Two O’Clock Heist, Rebecca finds herself investigating the murder of a friend. The only person willing—and able—to help her uncover the truth is the one man she most wants to avoid: Richie Amalfi.

Then, in Three O’Clock Séance, Rebecca and Richie face another dangerous mystery, one that takes them into the unsettling world of a séance—and deeper into a relationship neither of them quite knows how to handle. 

The Inspector Rebecca Mayfield Mysteries combine gripping murder investigations, romantic suspense, and a slow-burning attraction between two very different people. Start with One O’Clock Hustle and discover why, once the clock strikes one, you may find it hard to stop.

Everyone knows that on Fallen Meadows Ranch, passion runs deep and second chances must be earned...

Jude

When you're born and raised on the wrong side of the tracks, a smooth ride through life is a luxury you can't afford. That's why I break my back to keep the ranch equipment running. My life is hard, but it's also honest, and I've accepted that it doesn't have a happy ending. How could it when Genevieve Montgomery is my biggest regret?

Then a rare night out with the guys from the ranch lands me face-to-face with the woman I've never been able to forget. She's still just as flawless as the day she walked out of my life, and if the sparkling rock on her finger isn't enough of a reality check, meeting her polished fiancé—a local politician who expects my vote—certainly is.

I can stay in my lane and respect that she'll always be out of my league. But as campaign season heats up, she gets a taste of my rough and rowdy world, and to my surprise, this perfectly put together good girl isn't afraid to get a little filthy.

Then everything explodes. Genevieve's fiancé is hell-bent on taking down the Fallen Demons MC, and he doesn't care who gets caught in the crossfire. When the truth comes out, suddenly I'm protecting her from the biggest mistake of her life, but I'll be damned if I let anyone ruin her twice.

Release: Lonesome Moon (Cowboy Christmas at Crescent Moon Ranch #3) by Tess Thompson

Lonesome Moon 

by Tess Thompson 

Available now!

https://geni.us/LONESOMEMOON

Available on Kindle Unlimited

The only family he's ever chosen. The only woman he's ever wanted. He can't keep both.

Luci Wilder is the one woman Grant Walker can't have. She's also the only one he wants.

She's his best friend's little sister — off-limits, the line he swore he'd never cross. As the drummer in Jack Wilder's band, Grant has spent years guarding the only family he's ever chosen, watching Luci from a careful distance and saying nothing. Wanting her in silence is the price of keeping them all whole. He's paid it for years.

Then Luci arrives at Crescent Moon Ranch for the month, and the careful distance gets a lot harder to keep.

Because Luci adores her big brother. When they were kids and their single mother worked two jobs to keep the lights on, it was Jack who raised her — Jack who went without so she wouldn't have to, Jack who made sure she got out and became the pediatrician she is today. She owes him everything. And falling for one of his bandmates is the one thing she knows he'd never forgive.

So she's kept it to herself for years, the same as Grant has. Two people, the same secret, the same person they'd both rather die than hurt.

But under a month of Christmas lights and Montana snow, all that careful distance starts to feel less like loyalty and more like the only thing standing between them and the person who's always felt like home.

Loving each other could cost them the only family either of them has ever chosen.

Walking away might cost them the only love they've ever wanted.

A closed-door romance. Best friend's little sister, a hero who's pined in silence, and a slow burn years in the making.

Five interconnected stories, one unforgettable Montana Christmas. Each book stands alone; together they tell the story of one magical month.
