Once Upon A Small Town Secret by Claire Kirby

Once Upon A Small Town Secret by Claire Kirby

I want him. He’s off-limits. And our families’ decades-old betrayal is about to make everything so much worse.

I’m Paige Richards—Vanderbilt graduate with bakery dreams—and the girl who’s been fantasizing about Ben Hoffman’s hands for the last eight years.

I’m smart. Determined. And done waiting.
Ben thinks I’m still Jason’s annoying little sister.
He’s wrong.

When I suggest a potential business collaboration—my pastries, his beer—it becomes foreplay.

Blue eyes that undress me.

Rough hands that know their way around more than beer taps.

Finally…one night after a successful event, Ben’s control snaps and he takes me apart, one breathless gasp at a time, making my skin shiver with desire as I murmur filthy words in his ear.

Then the town whispers begin.
The secret recipe that built Ben’s business?
It was stolen from my grandfather.

The discovery creates a rift between us that threatens to destroy our new beginning.
But six weeks after our perfect night together, two pink lines appear—and the entire town will be watching to see if we’ll choose love or loyalty.

Because in small towns, some secrets destroy everything—and some create miracles.

About Delivering Justice: A Men’s Superhero Adventure by Silas Sinclair

In the neon metropolis of Neo Elysium, superheroines streak across the sky, villains destroy buildings on random weekdays, and honey reigns as the city’s favorite pizza topping. But for Arthur Ward, none of it matters. He’s a burnt-out delivery guy with a life slipping past him and scars he’s spent years running from.

Until the night he becomes collateral damage in a clash between the rookie hero Solaris and the mad genius Doctor Bellreve. Broken, blinded, and drenched in a volatile chemical, Arthur should be dead. Instead, the chemical rewrites the laws of biology… and forces him to evolve.

He becomes the impossible: the first male Empowered.

Suddenly, the man who worked to keep his life boring becomes the city’s most intriguing—and dangerous—mystery. His body changes faster than the doctors can track: skin hardening to iron under pressure, frost pouring from his skin under heat. But every power has a price, and villains would burn the world to get their hands on him.

Luckily, he isn’t alone. The guilt-ridden and protective Solaris refuses to leave his side, vowing to help him. But more heroines are beginning to notice the lone man who can challenge them… and perhaps even help them. In a world where superpowered women burn hot and need even hotter release to stabilize their powers, Arthur is in more danger than he realizes.

The first male Empowered has arrived, and everyone wants a piece of him.

The Houseboat Detective

About The Houseboat Detective

A good detective has an analytic mind, loves to solve puzzles, is driven to know the answers – oh, and he might play piano.

Twenty-something Jake Sommers lives in a houseboat moored at Fisherman’s Wharf, a picturesque set of docks bordering the Inner Harbour of Victoria, BC. Jake inherited his craft, the Honeysuckle Rose, from his late Great-aunt Dierdre, once a successful artist and sixties flower child. Jake’s a bit of a lost soul, who plays piano in a bar, loves the jazz music of the 1920s and ’30s, and has a tendency to drink too much.

When a beautiful woman shows up at his floating home mistakenly believing Jake is a qualified and experienced private investigator, and begging to hire him for a case, the little voice in Jake’s head tells him he should turn down the offer.

Too bad he never listens to his little voice.

He expects his ‘investigation’ to be a straightforward search for a young woman on the Internet. But both his client and her case turn out to be far more than he bargained for, and he’s unwittingly plunged into a convoluted world of DNA ancestry, danger, intrigue, and murder.

The book will be FREE December 5-7, 2025.

The Crash Course: Short Steamy Sports Romance Prequel | Star Athlete x Strong Heroine | Winter Story In The Mountains by Mara J. Ova

Before the Olympics. Before the glory. There was a crash that changed everything.

She crashed into his life, then vanished, leaving behind only the memory of the night that burned through their reason. He was everything she swore to stay away from, yet every time their eyes met, sparks burned through her resolve.

Thomas Kern isn’t just an elite skier; he’s the elite skier. Flying downhill at 140 km/h, taking 3 g in every turn, he’s fearless, flawless, and worshiped. He’s won it all: four globes, countless races, the adoration of a nation. Everything except Olympic gold. Everything except the fire he’s lost somewhere along the way.

Katharina Berger is ambitious, talented, and dangerously perceptive—the kind of journalist who captures emotion better than anyone else. She writes about heroes but never lets herself love one. Until now.

When their worlds collide—athlete and journalist, golden boy and ambitious woman—their connection is instant, electric, and completely off-limits. Falling for him could ruin her. Loving her could dethrone him.

But some crashes can’t be undone, and some stories are worth breaking the rules for.

Crash Course is a short prequel to the Carve series: a high-heat, slow-burn sports romance set on the world’s fastest slopes. If you love athlete × journalist, forbidden attraction, and one-night-that-changes-everything stories, get ready for the passion, the power, and the crash that starts it all.

The Crash Course is a prequel to the Carve series that launches in November 2025.

Armed with sheer determination and a makeshift lab in best friend’s tiny bathroom, she’s going to crack the formula that’s stumped the entire beauty industry: a long-wear lipstick that actually delivers on its promises.

Boundaries dissolve, emotions reach a boiling point, and just when they think they have it figured out, tragedy strikes. When Cruz’s carefully ordered world starts crumbling, Evie faces a choice: play it safe or fight for the love that could change everything.

Addictive, empowering, and scorching hot—Canceled is the ultimate romance about brilliant women who refuse to settle, the men brave enough to match their fire, and the kind of chemistry that rewrites all the rules.

It was whilst returning from a hunting trip almost a year ago that he witnessed a man being murdered. The man had been shot dead in cold blood by an outlaw named Sebastian Carson.

Despite Dean’s testimony, Carson was only convicted of manslaughter and was sent to 12 months in prison.

Furious at being sent to jail, Carson was released after 9 months and swore to get revenge on the two men who sent him to jail; the trial Judge, Oliver Lloyd and Dean Ryker.

Dean Ryker traded the furs that he obtained on his hunting trips with a tribe of friendly Cheyenne Indians. Dean was a good friend of Chief Spotted Wolf, the Chief of the village, and had been since saving his life a few years earlier.
