The latest Paladin League novel, Wicked Ambition, is available, and it’s packed with everything I love writing: high-stakes danger, a hero and heroine who work as a team, and who never expected to fall for each other…especially not while being hunted by mobsters.

Ayla Desmond plays by the rules—until her twin vanishes in a country on the verge of chaos. She rushes to the rescue, knowing she has the best chance of finding her sister before it’s too late.

Enter Oziah “Wizard” West: a covert Special Forces soldier with zero interest in commitment…except when Ayla crosses his path again. She’s the mystery woman who slipped out of his bed weeks earlier, the one he can’t get out of his head. Now she’s in danger and absolutely not interested in getting involved with a man she believes to be a mercenary.

What follows? A deadly game of survival, tangled loyalties, and a love that defies every expectation.

If you’re in the mood for:

🔥 A protective hero with a complicated past

💔 A fish-out-of-water heroine who refuses to back down

🚁 Action, betrayal, and a pregnancy twist that changes everything

💕 A second chance romance with a guaranteed happy ending

Wicked Ambition is available now! Dive in today and let Ayla and Oz carry you straight into a high-stakes love story.

Brother Fox

Will loving her prevent him from becoming one of the gang?

When Kyle Ferguson learns that his father was the notorious North London crime boss Charlie Fox, things in his life begin to make sense. He needs to find out how he fits into the Fox family, but they don’t have anything to do with drug dealers, and that’s how Kyle makes his money.

On the day of Charlie’s funeral, Kyle meets Millie Jeffers, who wins his affections with her delicious brownies and her kind heart. Millie is smart, funny and hot—and Kyle is soon head-over-heels for her. She’s looking to expand her baking business, and financial backing from Kyle would really help her—as long as she never finds out she’d be laundering dirty money.

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!
