Here’s the explainer.As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.Beach Rental: An Emerald Isle, NC Novel (#1)Author: Grace GreeneFREEWomen’s Christian Romance FictionOn the Crystal Coast of North Carolina, in the small town of Emerald Isle… ️ Juli Cooke, hard-working and getting nowhere fast, marries a dying man, Ben Bradshaw, for a financial settlement, not expecting he will set her on a journey of hope and love. ➡️ The journey brings her to Luke Winters, a local art dealer, but Luke resents the woman who married his sick friend and warns her not to hurt Ben—and he’s watching to make sure she doesn’t.Until Ben dies and the stakes change. ⚰️Framed by the timelessness of the Atlantic Ocean and the brilliant blue of the beach sky ☀️, Juli struggles against her past, the opposition of Ben’s and Luke’s families, and even the living reminder of her marriage—to build a future with hope and perhaps to find the love of her life—if she can survive the danger from her past.What makes this compelling: Greene tackles the uncomfortable premise—marrying for money—and transforms it into genuine redemption story set against gorgeous North Carolina coast backdrop. Juli’s marriage of convenience to dying Ben creates impossible emotional complications when she falls for his protective best friend Luke, who understandably questions her motives. The beach setting provides both beauty and timelessness while Juli confronts her past demons and the families who see her as opportunist. Perfect for fans of Nicholas Sparks or Debbie Macomber—readers who want their Christian romance with moral complexity, coastal atmosphere, and heroines who must prove themselves worthy of love and forgiveness. The “danger from her past” adds suspense beyond just romantic obstacles.Witchnapped in Westerham (Paranormal Investigation Bureau Book 1)Author: Dionne ListerFREEFun Witch Cozy MysteryAll it takes is one morning for Sydney Photographer Lily Bianchi’s life to go off the rails and over a cliff. ➡️ A well-dressed English woman turns up at her door, swearing she’s a witch. If that’s not crazy enough, she explains Lily’s brother, James, has been kidnapped and the Paranormal Investigation Bureau needs Lily’s help finding him. And the craziest part? The Englishwoman tells Lily she’s a witch too. ‍♀️✨Before she can say, “Where’s my coffee?” she’s on a plane bound for Westerham, England. ☕➡️✈️Unfortunately, England’s not as welcoming as she hoped--she’s barely arrived before she gets set up, arrested, and almost shot. Things can only get better from here, right? Yeah, right…Fall in love with squirrel-loving Lily as she helps the PIB investigate witch crime in England. ️Why this charms: Lister drops Australian photographer Lily into instant chaos—learning she’s a witch, her brother’s kidnapped, and she’s on a plane to England before processing any of it. The “squirrel-loving” detail promises quirky personality beyond just magical powers, and getting set up, arrested, and nearly shot immediately upon arrival in England shows this won’t be gentle cozy mystery. The Paranormal Investigation Bureau adds official supernatural crime-solving structure. Perfect for fans of Addie Thorley or anyone who loved “Charmed” but wants it Australian, British, and book-form. The fish-out-of-water elements (Sydney photographer in English witch world) create natural comedy alongside mystery. Free makes this easy series starter. ➡️✨Tame the Heart (Runaway Ranch Book 1)Author: Ava HunterFREESmall Town Grumpy Sunshine RomanceKeeping my heart guarded all my life has never been an issue.

Here’s the explainer.As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.Charming Cupid (Steamy Weekends Book 1)Author: Melanie ShawnFREEContemporary RomanceStand-alone Steamy Weekends romance, complete with HEA--and plenty of heat and heart along the way! 💕Cooper BriggsThe minute I saw her in that heart-stopping red dress, I knew I’d do whatever it took to make her mine - even if it meant anonymously bidding on myself in the bachelor auction and then pulling strings to make sure that “she” won me. 🔥Unfortunately, she didn’t seem to want anything to do with me after the auction, winning bid or not. Still, I’m looking at that as a minor setback. I didn’t settle for defeat when I was in the NFL, and I don’t plan on starting now. Not when the stakes are this high. 🏈Dr. Vanessa CupidI’ve built a life and career by helping other people drop the walls they’ve built around their hearts and create true intimacy. The one thing I’ve never tried, though, is taking my own advice. I can’t risk letting anyone get too close. 💔That’s never been a problem until now. But the minute Cooper Briggs kissed the back of my hand, I knew I was in trouble. He’s the first person I’ve ever met that might be able to threaten my carefully-guarded heart. 😍For Coop and Vanessa, will one Steamy Weekend be enough to change everything? ✨Why you’ll love this: Shawn delivers delicious irony with Dr. Vanessa Cupid (yes, really) who helps others find intimacy but guards her own heart like Fort Knox. Cooper secretly rigging a bachelor auction to win her is peak romance hero determination, and his NFL background explains his competitive “I don’t accept defeat” mindset. The therapist falling for someone who threatens her emotional walls creates perfect internal conflict. Standalone with HEA means you get complete satisfaction without cliffhangers. Perfect for fans of Helen Hoang or anyone who loves steamy contemporary romance where the hero’s grand gestures meet the heroine’s emotional barriers head-on. 🎯Hard Code (Romcom Sibling Standalones)Author: Misha BellFREELaugh-Out-Loud Workplace Romantic ComedyMy new assignment at work: test out toys. Yup, that kind. 😳Well, technically, it’s to test the app that controls the toys remotely. 📱One problem? The showgirl who’s supposed to test the hardware (as in, the actual toys) joins a nunnery. 😇Another problem? This project is important to my Russian boss, the broody, mouthwateringly sexy Vlad, a.k.a. The Impaler. 🔥There’s only one solution: test both the software and the hardware myself... with his help. 💻NOTE: This is a standalone, raunchy, slow-burn romantic comedy featuring a quirky, nerdy heroine, her hot, mysterious Russian boss, and two guinea pigs who may or may not be into scissoring each other. If any of the above is not your cup of tea, run far, far away. Otherwise, buckle in for a snort-water-up-the-nose-funny, feel-good ride. 😂One Testimonial: “Uplifting and lighthearted with sassy dialogue and delicious wit, this modern-day comedy will have you rolling around on the floor laughing. My top-of-the-list romcom for 2020!” - Charmaine Pauls, USA Today bestselling author 🌟Bottom line: Bell takes a premise that could easily veer into cringe territory and makes it genuinely funny through quirky details (the showgirl joining a nunnery!) and slow-burn tension. The boss nicknamed “The Impaler” testing adult toys with his nerdy employee is comedy gold, and the guinea pig subplot promises absurdist humor. The USA Today bestseller testimonial and “snort-water-up-the-nose” promise signal laugh-out-loud delivery. Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren’s romcoms or readers who loved “The Hating Game” but want more steam and workplace shenanigans. The raunchy warning means this isn’t toned down—it’s unapologetically adult and hilarious. 🎉Booked for Murder (Borrowed Pages Book 2)Author: Maggie BentonFREECozy MysteriesLibraries are wonderful places… That can get you booked. 📚Autumn is arriving in Oliver’s Crossroads, high in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and with it, cooler weather, colorful fall leaves, and the annual Fall Festival. 🍂Helen Bennett, director of the local public library, is happily breaking out her favorite cardigans and getting into the spirit of the season. The birding society is hosting its first ever Owl Prowl, so that festival goers can walk out into the woods after dark in the hopes of hearing the owls calling to one another. 🦉Even more exciting, the library has been given a very valuable gift by a wealthy local family—a first edition copy of Henry M. Burberry’s Birds of the Americas. 📖The book is worth millions, and Helen is thrilled to add such a treasure to the collection . . . but when it goes missing and a staff member ...

    These deals expire fast. Check my current post for fresh deals. To download from Amazon, click the book titles.” Are you new here? Here’s the explainer.As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.First Contact (In Her Name, Book 1)Author: Michael R. HicksFREEGalactic Empire Science FictionHumans finally make first contact with a sentient alien race, but soon wish they hadn’t. 🚀When the survey ship TNS Aurora jumps into a previously unexplored system to discover not just one, but two worlds that could support human colonies, her captain and crew are ecstatic. But their joy is short-lived, for they have unwittingly stumbled into the ancient Kreelan galactic empire. 👽With their ship immobilized, the crew of the Aurora is captured by sword-wielding female warriors and taken aboard the titanic alien flagship. ⚔️ There, the aliens force the Aurora’s survivors to participate in a fight to the death under the gaze of Tesh-Dar, high warrior priestess and the Empire’s greatest living warrior.Only young Midshipman Ichiro Sato survives the bloodbath, and Tesh-Dar returns him to Earth as a sacred Messenger, bearing unwelcome tidings from the Empire: there will be war. 💀If you enjoy epic space opera stories of first contact, alien invasion, and military science fiction, with plenty of action, adventure, and even a dash of fantasy and romance, then you’ll love First Contact, book one of the In Her Name saga. ✨What makes this special: Hicks flips the usual first contact scenario—instead of diplomatic meetings, humanity stumbles into an ancient warrior empire and immediately gets dragged into gladiatorial combat. The sword-wielding female warriors led by a high priestess create a unique blend of sci-fi and fantasy that sets this apart from typical military space opera. Ichiro Sato being the sole survivor returned as a messenger is a brilliant setup for the series, and the promise of galaxy-spanning war delivers stakes beyond one ship’s crew. Perfect for fans of David Weber’s Honor Harrington series or John Scalzi’s Old Man’s War—readers who want their space battles with complex alien cultures and a dash of romance woven through the action. 🌌Encrypted (Encrypted Series Book 1)Author: Lindsay BurokerFREEEpic FantasyProfessor Tikaya Komitopis isn’t a great beauty, a fearless warrior, or even someone who can walk and chew chicle at the same time, but her cryptography skills earn her wartime notoriety. 🔐 When enemy marines show up at her family’s plantation, she expects the worst.But they’re not there to kill her. They need her to decode mysterious runes, and they ask for help in the manner typical of a conquering empire: they kidnap her, threaten her family, and throw her in the brig of their fastest steamship. ⚓Her only ally is a fellow prisoner who charms her with a passion for academics as great as her own. Together, they must decipher mind-altering alchemical artifacts, deadly poison rockets, and malevolent technological constructs, all while dodging assassination attempts from a rival power determined the expedition should fail. 💣 As if the situation weren’t treacherous enough, this new “ally” may turn out to be the last person Tikaya should trust. Those runes cloak more than mysteries, however, and he’s the only one who can help her unravel them before their secrets destroy the world. 🌍Why you’ll love this: Buroker creates a refreshingly relatable heroine—Tikaya is clumsy, not gorgeous, but genuinely brilliant at cryptography, making her competence feel earned rather than convenient. The steampunk elements (fastest steamship, technological constructs) blend perfectly with fantasy (runes, alchemical artifacts) without either overwhelming the story. The forced partnership with a charming but potentially untrustworthy ally creates romantic tension layered with real danger. Perfect for fans of Gail Carriger’s Parasol Protectorate or anyone who wants their fantasy heroines to be brainy problem-solvers rather than chosen ones with magic swords. The mix of puzzles, poison, and possible betrayal keeps pages turning. 📚Starting a Successful Airbnb Business for Beginners: How to Start Investing in Short Term Rentals, Profit from Your First Property, and Create a Model for Extra Monthly Income NowAuthor: Davis J MillerFREEReal Estate EntrepreneurshipHave you always wanted to start your own AirBNB Business but are not sure where to start? 🏠If so, I have some valuable insights to share with you that draw from my own experience…Allow me to introduce you to a resource that can significantly enhance your confidence: Starting a Successful Airbnb Business for Beginners.

EmrickFREECozy Ghost MysteriesBooks One through Six are included in this box set. 📚✨A mysterious bookstore, a quirky cat, and a ghostly great-aunt—Darcy Sweet’s life is anything but ordinary. 👻😺Darcy Sweet loves her cozy life running the Sweet Read bookstore, but “ordinary” isn’t quite the word to describe her. With a knack for connecting with the other side, she’s often drawn into more mysteries than she’d like. 📖When Darcy stumbles upon the body of her murdered neighbor, she wants to leave the investigation to the police—especially since her sister is one of them. But a whispered conversation, a nudge from the beyond, and the mischievous antics of her slightly psychic cat make it impossible to stay away. 🔍💀As the killer strikes again, Darcy’s world turns even more dangerous. Her growing attraction to her sister’s new partner—a skeptical detective who doesn’t appreciate her interference—adds sparks to an already heated investigation. 💕⚡ With a town full of secrets, suspects, and spirits, can Darcy uncover the truth before she becomes the next target?If you love paranormal cozy mysteries, with a touch of romance and family, you’ll love the Darcy Sweet Cozy Mystery series! 🌟What makes this special: K.J. Emrick has built a devoted following with the Darcy Sweet series, and this boxset gives you SIX complete novels—exceptional value for cozy mystery fans. 🎁 Darcy is the perfect cozy protagonist: bookstore owner (every reader’s dream job!), reluctantly psychic (she can’t turn it off), family-oriented (her sister’s a cop!), and accompanied by a psychic cat who steals scenes. The paranormal element adds just enough supernatural intrigue without veering into dark territory, keeping this firmly in cozy comfort zone. The skeptical detective love interest creates delicious tension—he thinks she’s interfering, she’s actually solving crimes, and they’re falling for each other despite themselves. Emrick writes in the tradition of Charlaine Harris’s lighter work and Heather Blake’s Magic Potion mysteries, offering small-town charm, ghostly assistance, and mysteries that are puzzling without being gruesome. Perfect for readers seeking binge-worthy paranormal cozies where the ghosts are helpful, the romance is sweet, and the cat knows more than anyone gives him credit for. Six books = hours of cozy reading bliss. 📚💕The Fear of Winter: A Kidnapping Crime Thriller (Book One in The Fear Of Series)Author: S. C. SterlingFREEMurder ThrillersOn a frigid December night, Megan Floyd vanishes from the mountain town of Fraser, Colorado. The extensive search provides no answers and as attention of her disappearance fades, the case goes cold. ❄️💔 Her father, Tom Floyd, is forced to confront his worst fear that his daughter will never be found, and soon his life and marriage begin to disintegrate around him.A year after the disappearance and with no new leads, Tom hires private investigator Marshall York, a former detective, and his assistant Hannah Jacobs. 🔍 They soon start to uncover the secrets of Megan’s dangerous second life, all while fighting their own demons. Tom is guilt-ridden over a missing child case from his past, and Hannah is haunted by the unsolved murder of her older sister.The case begins to consume all three of their lives, and as they dig deeper, they start to unravel the dark truth of what happened to Megan. ⚡💀Why you’ll love this: S. C. Sterling delivers a missing person thriller that understands the true horror isn’t just the disappearance—it’s the not knowing, the slow disintegration of everything left behind. The one-year time jump is brilliant; Sterling skips the initial frantic search to focus on the cold case grind, when hope has faded and relationships have fractured. Tom hiring a PI is the act of a desperate man refusing to give up, even as his marriage crumbles. The dual investigator setup (Marshall York and Hannah Jacobs) adds layers, especially since both carry their own trauma: Tom’s guilt over a past missing child case and Hannah’s unsolved sister murder mean everyone investigating Megan’s disappearance is personally haunted by failure. The “dangerous second life” detail suggests Megan wasn’t the person her family thought, adding complexity beyond simple victimhood. Sterling writes in the vein of Robert Dugoni’s Tracy Crosswhite series or Gregg Olsen’s work—Pacific Northwest atmosphere, cold cases that won’t let go, and investigators whose personal demons fuel their determination. Perfect for readers who appreciate character-driven crime fiction where solving the case means confronting your ...

    Don’t Look Back (The Devil’s Ledger Book 1)Author: Ben CheethamFREEBritish Horror FictionWhat really haunts Fenton House? 👻🏰After the tragic death of their eleven-year-old son, Adam and Ella are fighting to keep their family from falling apart. Then comes an opportunity that seems too good to be true. They win a competition to live for free in a breathtakingly beautiful mansion on the Cornish Lizard Peninsula. There’s just one catch: the house is supposedly haunted. 😱Mystery has always swirled around Fenton House. In 1920 the house’s original owner, reclusive industrialist Walter Lewarne, hanged himself from its highest turret. In 1996, the then inhabitants, George Trehearne, his wife Sofia, and their young daughter Heloise vanished without a trace. Neither mystery was ever solved. 🔍💀Adam is not the type to believe in ghosts. As far as he’s concerned, ghosts are simply memories. Everywhere he looks in their cramped London home he sees his dead son. 💔 Despite misgivings, the chance to start afresh is too tempting to pass up. Adam, Ella, and their surviving son Henry move into Fenton House. At first, the change of scenery gives them all a new lease of life. But as the house starts to reveal its secrets, they come to suspect that they may not be alone after all… ⚠️Don’t Look Back is the first standalone novel in The Devil’s Ledger series, a chilling collection of supernatural thrillers filled with haunted houses, cursed families, tragic pasts, and the unquiet dead. Perfect for fans of gothic horror, psychological suspense, and ghost stories that linger long after the last page. 📚✨What makes this special: Ben Cheetham delivers British gothic horror with genuine emotional weight—this isn’t just jump scares and creaky floorboards, it’s a grieving family seeking escape who walk straight into something darker. 🌫️ The Cornish setting provides that windswept, isolated atmosphere perfect for supernatural dread, while the dual historical mysteries (1920 suicide, 1996 disappearance) add layers of tragic backstory. Cheetham’s hook is brilliant: Adam sees ghosts everywhere already—the memory of his dead son haunts every corner of their London home—so moving to an actually haunted house becomes a meditation on grief versus genuine supernatural threat. The “too good to be true” competition win adds modern believability (we’ve all seen those clickbait contests). Perfect for readers who loved The Haunting of Hill House, Susan Hill’s The Woman in Black, or anyone seeking horror that explores how grief makes us vulnerable to darker forces. This launches a series but works as standalone, promising atmospheric British horror with psychological depth. 👻📖Treading Water, A Treading Water Series NovelAuthor: Marie ForceFREEContemporary RomanceWhen you’re living one step at a time, the next one could change your life…forever. 💕✨Love is the last thing on Jack Harrington’s mind when he sets out to meet Andi Walsh’s flight. Recently back to work after spending more than a year tending to his comatose wife, Jack is focused on getting through each day and caring for his three daughters. 💔 However, the moment he sets eyes on Andrea Walsh, the interior designer who has come to decorate the hotel his company is building in Newport, Rhode Island, Jack begins to wonder if Andi might be his second chance.After a disastrous marriage, Andi, single mom to a hearing-impaired son, isn’t exactly looking for love, either, but that’s what she finds with Jack. 👨‍👩‍👧 The two embark on a long-distance relationship fraught with challenges as they balance the needs of their children and dueling careers while Jack continues to care for his wife, Clare. Just when Jack thinks his life is once again settled, he is confronted with a new challenge that tests him in ways he never could’ve imagined, leaving him to wonder if “happily ever after” is in the cards for him. 💫Here’s why this matters: Marie Force is a USA Today bestselling romance powerhouse with over 100 published novels, and Treading Water tackles one of contemporary romance’s most emotionally complex scenarios: falling in love while your spouse is in a coma. 😢 This isn’t simple forbidden romance—it’s a profound exploration of grief, guilt, caregiving exhaustion, and the right to happiness when your life is suspended in limbo. Force doesn’t shy away from the moral complexity: Jack has been faithful for over a year to a wife who may never wake up, raising three daughters alone, and then meets someone who makes him feel alive again. The title is perfect—he’s been treading water, barely surviving, until Andi arrives. The Newport, Rhode Island setting adds New England charm, while both leads bringing children with special needs (hearing-impaired son, grieving daughters) creates realistic obstacles beyond just the comatose wife. Perfect for readers who appreciate ...

Though the subject matter deals with adultery, there are no innocent parties here. Book 1 in the Trashy Affair duet.What makes this special: Gemma James delivers unapologetically steamy forbidden romance that doesn’t shy away from morally complex territory.
