Eagle Rock by Fran Tabor

Murder & Romance: Montana Style
Kila Kincaid never understood how her brother could leave Hollywood style civilization to buy Eagle Rock, a primitive Montana ranch. When an accident kills him, she rushes to Montana to bury her brother and sell the ranch.
Kila learns Eagle Rock holds more than scenery. It cradles a dream.
Warriors fight for their dreams, and for the people they love.
Eagle Rock awakens Kila’s warrior spirit. Blake Black Bear awakens her heart.
Eagles, warriors of the sky, mate only with those willing to plummet to the ground, risk death, together.
Only if Kila and Blake possess true Eagle Love, will they survive a killer’s onslaught. If either falters, both will surely die.

Mercury Rising by J.B. Aspen

Midlife—when the magic really begins…
Happy Birthday and hello Mid-life crisis. Hi, I’m Mercury Rodgers and at forty-five I thought life was over. Dead-end job, empty nest…it was just me and the cat starting over. Again.
But when I lost my house and moved in with my pickleball playing, ballroom dancing, super social senior citizen mom—that was the icing on my midlife birthday cake. Then, out of nowhere, my luck changed.
Or so I thought…
I won an all expenses paid trip to the Phoenix Inn. Now the bodies are piling up and I’m a suspect in a murder investigation. But the real surprise is: I’m not just a broke, divorced, empty-nester—I’m a witch.
And the magic is just beginning…
Join Mercury and her cat Mr. Yow, as she discovers her hidden past, murder, and the world of magic waiting for her at the Phoenix Inn.
The mystery begins at midlife…

Fake Dating my Baby Daddy by Josie Hart

Fake Dating my Baby Daddy by Josie Hart

I’m fake dating the hottest man alive.
And he doesn’t know he put a baby in my belly.

Gavin Austin. The epitome of sexy.
A real life demigod with sculpted cheekbones and a perfect body to match that 10/10 face.

After seeing the TV report on his recent breakup,
I can’t stop the intrusive thoughts about everything I want him to do to me.
It’s just my own little fantasy, for now.

When his jilted ex-girlfriend wants back into his life,
I grab his hand and play new girlfriend.

Fake dating for pretenses only… until it isn’t.

Just a flick tingles all my secret spots,
And his touch marks something deep inside me.

The feelings between us just got too real,
And this maverick’s instinct is to run.

But can I make him stay now that he’s my baby daddy?

Fake Dating my Baby Daddy is set in the same universe as my Grumpy Alpha Billionaires and Bossy Billionaire Brothers series.
The couples make frequent cameos, most notably Ava & Noah from Accidental Baby for the Billionaire.

This is a complete standalone, with no cliffhanger and no cheating. Only undeniable chemistry, hot naughty times, and the most satisfying HEA to leave you feeling warm, and a little tingly inside.

Grim Daze (The Grim Chronicles Book 2) by D.R. Martin

I intended the Grim Chronicles series for young adult fans of Harry Potter, Narnia, and Redwall. Book two continues the magical adventures of Howl, the boy wizard, and his human and animal companions in their battle for freedom. As new evils come to Grimsland, they must find new allies, stand with old foes, and tap into unimagined wonders. The story also includes chapter illustrations of scenes and characters. Your feedback is vital to improve the series. All reviews are welcome and appreciated.

Surprise Twins for the Boss by Josie Hart

Rule #1: Don’t sleep with anyone in the office.
Rule #2: Definitely DON’T get anyone pregnant.
Oh well, I’ve always been a rule breaker.

I’m Drew, the one your mother warned you about.
My ego is as big as my bank account, and I always get what I want.

And I want my sexy as sin PR rep, Camille.

She’s constantly cleaning up my scandals and I know she hates me for it.
Which makes sneaking around the office with her that much hotter.

Our constant love/hate relationship is the stuff of fantasies.
Her insatiable appetite for me drives me wild,
And I’m happy to deliver what she craves.

Camille is off-limits in every way,
Which is perfect because being tied down is the last thing I need.

Until she drops the ultimate bomb: I’m pregnant.

If you’re a fan of the irresistible alpha bad boy paired with the fiery heroine who can match his every move, one-click Surprise Twins for the Boss. You won’t be disappointed by the sparks that fly between Drew and Camille as they navigate their forbidden relationship.

No cliffhangers and no cheating, only the push and pull of their love/hate relationship that will have you rooting for their oh-so-satisfying HEA.

This is the last book of the Grumpy Billionaire Bosses (Crestwood Billionaires) series, with the other couples embedded in the storyline, and can be read as a complete standalone.

Faking It with the Detective by Rose Bak

She’s always wanted an adventure, and she’s going to get it, even if she has to pretend to be someone else!

All her life, Michelle has longed for the kind of adventures that she reads about in books. Instead, the forty-year-old cashier has a boring life, a boring job, a boring apartment, and a cat who hates her. Nothing exciting ever happens to her. Until she meets Derrick…

The handsome detective thinks that she’s his FBI contact. When he crashes into the café where she works, demanding that she go with him to find their target, she figures she might as well go for it. Sure, she doesn’t know how to investigate a case. She’s never handled a gun or thrown a punch. And the only time she runs is, well, never. But she was in drama club in high school, so surely she can fake it?

There’s something strange about Michelle. Derrick can’t put his finger on it, but she’s not like any cop he’s ever worked with. She’s sassy and sweet and she flinches every time she sees his gun. But there’s something about her that makes him dream about finally settling down. If they can just figure out where this mob boss is hiding…

She was assigned to help him, but Michelle is the distraction he doesn’t need. If they manage to get out of this alive, he just might need to hold her close — forever.

Sometimes a girl has just gotta fake it. You know what I mean!
