The Guy from the Bakery by Birdie Song https://bit.ly/3Is3I4r A piece of cake, or a recipe for disaster.
Moonlight Chen loves her job—sort of. She doesn’t love her boss taking advantage of her, or that customer who won’t stop flirting. But she does love cake, and also kinda-sorta likes her coworker, Shane, even though he’s kinda-sorta-definitely rude. But that’s fine; it’s nothing a little sweetness can’t fix.
Baking is Shane Zhao’s dream career, but since cutting ties with his dad and moving to Perth, his job at Lovely Time Bakery has kept him front-of-house. When the boss forces everyone into a baking competition, Shane reluctantly agrees to team up with Moon—this’ll either be a piece of cake or a recipe for disaster.
The Guy from the Bakery is a sweet #OwnVoices grumpy/sunshine bakery romance, set in the world of Somerville Downs.
Contains: Disrespectful boss, customer to staff harassment, and references to spousal betrayal, infidelity, and addiction.

FREE - Midnght`s Mystery by Ravyn Wilde https://bit.ly/4lCTrAC When a Dragon Lord kidnaps her fledglings, Midnight kicks his ass and gets the girls back. But then the Lord surprises her, overwhelms her with the help of a mysterious dragon-male, and hides her from her coven.

Matei wants Midnight to become his ideal women. All she needs to do is wear more clothes, stop saving humans, and quit using her magic. She is going to kill him. She has no interest in staying home and playing house!

Midnight is overwhelmed fighting eco-terrorists and three fledgling Dragon Witches who want to stretch their wings. Realizing dragonkynd is almost extinct—she is now forced to search for a male of her species. But she doesn’t want one for herself, another member of her coven can breed the next generation.

Matei wants a submissive mate, just like his mother. But when his brother is kidnapped, he discovers he needs the warrior in Midnight to save his brothers. These Dragon Witches don’t behave anything like what he was taught to believe a true female of their species should act.

Will Matei give up his dream of finding a submissive mate, and realize the depth of his feelings for Midnight? Can Midnight teach the overbearing, out-of-touch Lord how to survive in the real world? Even more important, will anyone live through the evil plot to annihilate the dragonkynd race?

Midnight’s Mystery is an insta-love, fated-mates, hard-earned happily-ever-after story. (They work hard for that happiness.) It is the seventh book in Ravyn Wilde’s paranormal series, Creatures of Myth. This ménage romance is filled with snarky humor and action-packed adventure. If you love sexy dragons, magic spells, kick-ass heroines, and nail-biting suspense—you’ll love this!

Kindle Unlimited - 2 days onlyy - 99 Cents https://bit.ly/3IeVFYF
two days only, the book will be on sale for $.99, and it`s also available on KindleUnlimited.
Beauty, Treachery, and an Untamed Wild Love

Liliann Varga had been too young the first time she met and fell head-over-heels in love with the Blackfeet Medicine Man, First Rider, the man who saved her father’s life. Besides, he was newly married to a woman of his own tribe. But years later, when Liliann’s husband has committed a terrible aggression against her, it’s First Rider who once again is called upon to put his healing skills to use.

First Rider has come to heal Liliann, not to seduce her. But his reaction to the grown up Liliann, the little girl who used to be his shadow, is entirely masculine and sensual. Though he’d vowed to bring his first wife back after her capture by an enemy tribe, he`d failed and she had died, causing First Rider to nearly lose his mind. Could Liliann be his second chance at love?

Enacting a “scout’s revenge” against Liliann`s cruel husband would leave the man alive but broken, and it would also set Liliann free. But, just as their love deepens, a report emerges: First Rider`s wife is still alive. To discover the truth or lies of the rumor, they both embark on a dangerous journey through the Backbone-of-the-world Mountains.

But, with little more than a bow and a gun, can they survive the beautiful but treacherous snows to find a world where they both belong?

Warning: Sensuous Romance that could cause a gal to climb the highest mountain to find true love.
