Corie

Knox Beckett is heartbreak in a helmet. He’s also my brother’s best friend, and so far out of my league, he's untouchable.

But a few stolen glances turn into a welcome home that blindsides us both.

The rules are clear. We just chose not to follow them.

Now we’re sneaking around like we’re running a trick play, hooking up behind closed doors, and pretending our actions don’t have the power to blow up our lives.

Knox is under my skin and tackling his way into my heart. Ready or not, it's time we make the play.


Knox

She’s the last girl I’m allowed to want—my best friend’s little sister. She’s all grown up and looking at me in invitation.

The second Corie crashes into me, with her tanned, toned skin, in a barely there bikini, I know I’m in trouble.

I shouldn’t look. And I sure as hell shouldn’t touch. My hands are already on her waist, one second longer, and I’ll do something we both might regret.

What I do is even worse. I help her land a job working for the team. My team.

Now I can’t get her out of my mind, or my way. And keeping my hands to myself is a penalty waiting to happen. Because Corie isn’t just off-limits—she’s one line I swore I’d never cross, yet I’m sprinting toward it.

I’d risk the season—my entire career—for her just to make the play.

His Vicious Desire RELEASE BLITZ

 



Title: His Vicious Desire
Author: Fiona Murphy
Genre: Dark Mafia Romance
Tropes: Brother's Best Friends/Plus-size Woman
Release Date: May 30, 2025


BLURB

"You're many things, princess. Worth dying for isn't one of them." It's something Gaetano has said often. Because if he ever touched me, my brother would kill him, best friend or not. He promised our mother, as she lay dying, that I would never be involved with anyone from the mafia. I would never know more of the world that she blamed for ruining her life.

So, falling in love with Gaetano was the worst thing I could have done for both of us. On the night of my eighteenth birthday party, I crashed into him, and nothing feels like it will be the same again—including me.

Three years of longing exploded in a moment neither one of us thought would happen. The lie wasn't planned. When he realized he didn't have birth control, I told him that he didn't need it, terrified he'd find another excuse once the heat of the moment passed. The thing about growing up with the Outfit is that you learn things, like how to get what you want through manipulation to avoid bloodshed. So I keep lying because my brother won't kill the father of my baby, member of the Outfit or not. But will Gaetano forgive me when he finds out I lied and got pregnant on purpose?


While this book features Sandro and Carina from His Vicious Vow, you need not have read it to enjoy this. This is a standalone romance featuring a plus-size woman and a jealous, possessive mafia man with no third-act break-up and rough scenes some may find offensive.

AUTHOR BIO

Due to commitment issues I have lived in many different cities and my favorite is Chicago but I have managed to settle into Austin and perhaps my commitment issues are behind me. 

I have enjoyed reading from a very young age and it wasn't long before the children books bored me and I read the books my mother enjoyed Stephen King and Dean Koontz and I didn't sleep without the light on until I was about ten. 

I came across my first Harlequin by accident and it was love at first read, no one died and happy endings? It was a whole new world and I loved it. 

I wrote my first story at eight and everyone died, of course. Since then I would like to think I've gotten better and now I'm writing the happily ever afters I first fell in love with, with some hot sex thrown in along the way. 

As a plus size woman myself, I have started writing the stories I always wanted to see myself in but never did. And now I’m ecstatic to give BBWs the happily ever afters with hot Alphas I want to read.

American Beauty Release Blitz

 




Title: American Beauty
A Beauty Series Novel
Trilogy: Alex and Magnolia #2
Author: Georgia Cates
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Billionaire Romance/Arranged Relationship
Damaged Alpha & Heroine/Long Distance Relationship
Release Date: May 27, 2025


BLURB

True love stories never end. But they can be interrupted.

Magnolia Steel returns home from Australia, but her heart is still tangled up in Alex Sebring—the former rugby star who made her believe in something real.
Real enough to try the impossible––long distance.

The time zones are brutal. The distance, worse.
But they make a promise—to hold on, even when everything else tells them to let go.

Until someone in the shadows pulls the strings.

Two messages.
Two lies.
Two broken hearts—each left believing the other walked away.

For Alex, the silence becomes unbearable. The heartbreak. The what-ifs. It all spirals into a storm of anxiety and depression he can’t outrun.

Then—hope. A chance to reclaim the life he lost.
A shot at a professional comeback. One last opportunity to fight for the game torn away from him. To take it, he’ll need surgery.

The procedure brings him to the States… and back into the path of the woman he never forgot.

The heat between them hasn’t faded.
If anything, it burns hotter than ever.

They weren’t meant to fall apart. But they’ll have to fight like hell to come back together.

RELEASE BLITZ - This Feeling

 



Title: This Feeling
Series: Moose Village #2
Author: Kelly Elliott
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Friends to Lovers, Fake Relationship
He Falls First, Military/Police Officer Hero
Release Date: May 27, 2025


BLURB

Is there anything worse than getting dumped by your boyfriend in a very public, very humiliating way? How about agreeing to fake-date the jerk to help get his matchmaking mother off his back and make his new love interest jealous?

My friends and family don’t think so, but I’m getting Giants season tickets out of the deal. I can do anything for a short couple of months, right? However, when my ex’s sexier older brother, Delcan, moves back home, I realize I’m not that confident after all.

For five years, I’ve avoided Moose Village, New York, as much as possible for one reason: the girl I’ve crushed on since high school was already spoken for—by my brother. Now discharged from the military, I’m coming home, tentatively heartened by the fact that they’re no longer a couple. Except…it seems they are. But something’s different this time. Harper doesn’t seem as smitten as she was the first time around. Meanwhile, the chemistry sizzling between us is what I’ve dreamed of for years.

Even if I’m able to get to the bottom of the weird behavior between my brother and Harper, I’ve gone from one dangerous career to another. I’ve already got my anxious mother badgering me to quit. Will my career choice be too much for Harper, too?

I can only hope this feeling between the two of us is enough.

Author Bio:

Brooke Gilbert is a Tennessee native, a microbiology graduate of the University of Tennessee, and a border collie mom. She is, as you may have already guessed, a hopeless romantic and a lover of Jane Austen. When she isn’t writing, she works as a jewelry designer, an audiobook narrator, and a graphic designer. Her writing features characters with autoimmune disorders, something she deals with herself. She believes it is important for these types of characters to be seen in modern literature and started writing so she could see someone like herself in literature. She is considered a medical mystery and has several rare autoimmune disorders. These disorders caused her to withdraw from Physician Assistant School, but she is happy to be pursuing her dreams of designing, creating, and writing. She thanks God for leading her heart on this new path and recites “perhaps this is the moment for which you were created” in times of doubt (Esther 4:14).

She loves watching classic films (thrillers and romantic comedies, too), reading, playing the ukulele, painting, dancing, Pilates, and spending time with her dog, family, and friends. One of her favorite quotes is from Flashdance: “When you give up on your dreams, you die.” She believes that if you’re waiting to pursue your dreams, stop waiting and start doing. Your time is now. And may you never stop being a hopeless romantic. Contrary to popular belief, it’s a very good quality. She’s still looking for her Mr. Darcy.

PRE-ORDER BLITZ - My Stepbrother Biker

 



Title: My Stepbrother Biker
Series: Summit Hill Vipers #1
Author: Nikki Landis
Genres: MC Romance
Tropes: Taboo/Stepsibling, Possessive/Protective MMC
Stalker, Forced Proximity, One Bed
Release Date: June 13, 2025


BLURB

From USA Today Bestselling Author Nikki Landis comes a steamy, forbidden, morally gray, bad boy/good girl, MC romance—the first in a new series with a slight paranormal twist.

It was only supposed to happen one time.
One reckless, wild, uninhibited night where I let my desires overrule my common sense.
I dropped that good girl mask, and for the first time, I felt free.
Gage Blade showed me exactly how tender and intoxicating his touch could be.
He carved a place into my heart and made me fall for him.
Until he rejected me in front of everyone.

A few months later, our parents got married.
My one-night stand and personal tormentor became my new stepbrother.
I'll never consider him family. And I refuse to trust him.
He proves me right when he moves out, showing he never cared for me.
He used and abandoned me. I hate him.

Two years later, he shows up at my high school graduation.
He says he's back to claim me, that I don't know the truth.
I don't want to hear his lies. Stupid me, I give in anyway.
And he leaves me again. Alone. In his bed.
I've been rejected twice by Gage Blade. It won't happen a third time.
I've moved on and graduated from college. And now I'm focusing on my career.

There's no place in my future for the bad boy from my past.
But when my life is in danger, and a stranger breaks into my apartment, I don't know who else to call.
I swear I only contact him for protection.
Once this threat is eliminated, I won't need my stepbrother biker.
The strange thing is, he's decided he won't let me go.
And Gage is willing to lie, cheat, steal, and kill to keep me.

This story first appeared in the Beyond the Temptation Anthology and is now a complete, full-length book. My Stepbrother Biker is the first book in the Summit Hill Vipers MC. You can read the companion novella, My Inked Neighbor, now available.
