The Billionaire’s Secret Son by Brandy Sparks


About Featured Book: The Billionaire’s Secret Son by Brandy Sparks

Noah Hunter’s glass of bourbon trembles when her text appears after five years of silence.
“Sunshine.”
In his gleaming penthouse overlooking Manhattan, control is everything.
Each line of code, each security contract, each business deal—calculated precision.
Until Mia Thompson stands in his office, requesting a position at his new restaurant.
Her chef’s whites can’t hide the changes prison has etched into her—shorter auburn curls, guarded hazel eyes, walls built from wrongful conviction.
Their professional boundaries blur with each stolen glance across the kitchen.
The heat between them isn’t just from the stoves.
She carries a secret that could destroy his carefully constructed empire.
A four-year-old boy with piercing blue eyes and analytical mind—the spitting image of his father.
Noah never knew she was pregnant.
Mia never told him about their son.
Prison walls and fear kept her silent for years.
Now she’s rebuilding her life, piece by fragile piece.
When vindictive enemies threaten to expose everything, both must confront their deepest fears.
Can a man engineered for control embrace the beautiful chaos of family?
Can a woman betrayed by justice trust again?
Against Manhattan’s elite culinary backdrop, redemption becomes the most unexpected item on the menu—a recipe neither planned but both desperately need.

The Witch and the Blade follows the journey of Eruch, the Twilight Blade, as he struggles to rebuild his shattered life in the wake of costly mistakes during the Libertan War (at the conclusion of the Espa Chronicle). Seeking redemption and purpose, Eruch joins the Freebooters, a millennia-old mercenary company that thrives on unorthodox methods and loyalty.

Parallel to Eruch’s story is that of his estranged wife, Varilla, the Witch of the Wastes. Rising to prominence within the Bulvi’s court, she shapes a new destiny of power and rebuilding for the wastes. Their paths, once bound by love and tragedy, are destined to cross again.

Rise of the Lark

About Rise of the Lark

Epic Fantasy. Adventure. Swords and Sorcery. A touch of Grimdark.

Jael Lyonheart and Genna the Lark walked away from the Freebooters, from a life of blood and contracts, to forge something different: a knighthood that serves no lord, no king, only justice. But building an order from nothing is no easy feat. With only a handful of loyal companions, Lucius, a scholar-magus with a righteous heart; Bassion, a quiet killer seeking redemption; Rema, a slaver-turned-squire paying her penance; and Gaulhammer, an orc who has never known true freedom, Jael and Genna set out to carve their own place in the world.

Their first steps take them to Sela, the smaller cousin to the Freeport of Braid, a city of merchants, wayfarers, and opportunity. A lost heirloom. A child rescued from slaughter. A powerful magnate who needs their blades to stand against corruption. With each deed, the Order of the Lark begins to take shape, not just in name, but in purpose.

But even as they swear their oaths and build their code, the past is never far behind. Jael cannot forget the Freebooters, nor the man who was once his brother but chose the path of cruelty. Genna carries the weight of her own scars, of chains she broke but can never forget. And the question remains, can a band of warriors truly change the world, or will the world change them first?

Rise of the Lark picks up after Freebooters 10: A Parting of Blades and launches a new standalone series in the World of Espa. For those who have followed the Freebooters’ journey, this is the next step: the founding of a knighthood that answers only to its own principles. For new readers, this is where a new legend begins.

A Tale of Lace and Iron by L.J Hayes

About A Tale of Lace and Iron by L.J Hayes

In a world ruled by duty and tradition, love may be the most dangerous rebellion of all.
Lady Sybil Harbird was bred for courts and corsets, not blood-stained sand and stolen nights in underground arenas. Trapped by the expectations of her noble birth, her only freedom lies in the shadows—where even a duke’s daughter can shed the restrictions of her gilded cage.
Deacon Redmond, stoic captain of the household guard, was forged in war and bound by honor. Sworn to protect Sybil, he’s spent years trying to keep the reckless heiress from harm. But when duty and desire begin to blur, his oath becomes a chain he can no longer bear.
In the shadow of Sybil’s impending betrothal, the two of them are forced to face the truth of their feelings. Can a man who lives by a code of honor break the vows he’s made and risk everything for a love he was never meant to have? Or will duty tear them apart, leaving them both hollow and heartbroken?
A Tale of Lace and Iron is a steamy, standalone historical romance set in a world inspired by the 17th century’s exploration and colonization era—a story of rebellion, forbidden love, and the high cost of freedom.

2 Years of Anna

About 2 Years of Anna

At forty-three, Anna Morgan built her life on winning—sharp suits, airtight arguments, and a courtroom reputation that left little room for softness. Love, desire, even happiness were sacrifices she made without hesitation. Until a single word—glioblastoma—shatters everything she thought she had time for.

With less than two years left to live, Anna doesn’t run from death. She runs toward life. Trading courtrooms for hotel rooms, lonely ambition for reckless intimacy, she sets out across the world in a race to taste every feeling she once locked away.

From the rain-soaked streets of London to nights that leave her gasping and undone, Anna finds herself through the strangers who touch her body—and the few who manage to touch her heart. But love was never part of the plan. Neither was motherhood. And when she discovers she’s carrying the one thing she thought she’d never have, Anna must learn that some goodbyes are written not in endings, but in beginnings.

Two Years of Anna is a fiercely raw, breathtakingly intimate story of a woman who refuses to die before she truly lives. Poignant, passionate, and unforgettable, Anna’s journey will break your heart—and make you believe in life after despair.
