Insta-Coffee So I accidentally bonded with Darian who tackled me mid-escape… and now we’re fated mates.

He pins me to the ground like I’m the threat.
In his defense, I did crash into his sacred territory—while running for my life.

Then my magic explodes.
Now there’s a glowing mark on his wrist... and I’m locked in his cell.

He’s furious. I’m terrified.
And something about him makes my wolf ache in ways I don’t understand.

We’re nothing alike.
He’s an alpha protector. I’m a runaway royal omega with power I swore I’d never use again.

But when the fortress falls under attack, he breaks every rule to protect me.
When our hands touch, it’s like striking a match to a fuse.

Three things happen fast—
He kisses me. My magic answers. And the truth I’ve buried shatters everything.

Because if anyone finds out who I really am, he’ll be forced to choose:
His pack…
Or me.

And if I lose him?
The bond might break more than just my heart—it could start a war. Coffee Time Romance & More

Hi Wolfie!

I hope you are doing amazing.
Now you can get book ONE Her Fated Alpha Prince of my new Royal Dragons of Blackwater Islands Series !

I hope you will enjoy. It would really great if you write back to me your feedback.

Looking forward for your love, support and feedback 🙂

Thank you!

MY NEW RELEASE!

A broken heart. A forbidden realm. A dangerous prince who burns to claim her.

Ariana isn’t supposed to be here—not on this trip, not in this storm, and definitely not in his world. When her long-term boyfriend ditches their dream vacation, she’s heartbroken.
In a desperate attempt to forget, she lets her friends drag her along. But fate has a wilder plan.
One moment she’s drowning in heartbreak… the next, she wakes up in a jungle, beneath the smouldering gaze of a man who isn’t quite human.
Kael saves her—but he’s more danger than saviour. Mysterious, untamed, devastatingly seductive… and a dragon prince.
He doesn’t know why—only that the moment he touched her, his blood roared and his dragon stirred like never before.
Now he’s broken sacred law to protect a human, and claiming Ariana as a noble’s lost granddaughter and bringing her into the royal palace.
The court is full of secrets, and jealous nobles are watching. Kael pulls her into a world where power is everything, danger simmers beneath every glance, and one wrong move could start a war.
He tells her she’s safe with him. That she belongs. But nothing about the way he looks at her feels safe. And the way her body responds? Even more dangerous. Coffee Time Romance & More

Insta-Coffee A queer coming-of-age about a grieving teen whose plan to move abroad and find his own “Neverland” is derailed by community service, only for it to lead him on an unintentional journey of self-discovery — navigating love, coming to terms with his demisexuality, and redefining what home truly means.

Haunted by the car crash that took his family, eighteen-year-old Aaron is on the brink of fleeing London for Australia. Inspired by his late sister’s dream of working in a wildlife park, he searches for a fresh start — a place he can finally call home.

But on the eve of his departure, Aaron is caught with weed at a party, arrested, and sentenced to community service cleaning up the grounds and reviving the gardens of a neglected local retirement centre, anchoring him to the very city he longs to escape.

At the centre, Aaron meets an eclectic crew of misfits, including Landon, a fellow young offender with a reputation for trouble. As Aaron spends more time with the group — especially with Landon — he begins to feel a sense of belonging he never expected. Beneath Landon’s tough exterior, Aaron discovers a kindred spirit, someone who sees beyond his scars, both physical and emotional.

Through sleeplessness and late-night conversations, a connection sparks unlike anything Aaron has ever known. For the first time, he feels attracted to someone.

Just as Aaron begins to embrace his demisexuality, Landon’s difficult past resurfaces, threatening their fragile relationship. Torn between honouring his sister’s memory and staying with Landon, Aaron must decide where his true “Neverland” lies: in Australia or right where he is. Jessica Lascar

Dear Wonderful Readers,

At last I can give you details on the Busty Bodice Club, a collaboration of eight authors known for fun story telling that pushes the envelope ( just a wee bit. That is what keeps things fresh, right?)

What to expect: NINE books to capture the heart and soul of what we love about life because Happily Ever Afters don’t come without a price. And this is a wild premise--When the Duke of Kenbrooks dies, his eight daughters are stunned to realize that they must complete a “task” before receiving their inheritance. The duke states in his will that he regrets raising them too sheltered and wants them to experience life’s realities. Of course, the challenges are aligned with the lessons the father wants his daughters to understand. This series isn’t just about the curves of our buxom heroines, but also the curves life throws at each and every one of us.

The son and heir is not off the hook either. His will be the first book of the series. This one is fascinating because each of the writers in this series wrote a chapter. You know, kinda like a round robin. And it is almost as if we, as writers, are matching wits with each other. Good stuff!

More will be revealed! To ensure you are on top of all announcements, please subscribe to my Instagram or Facebook for the latest (@maxwellcathy). My newsletter will also keep you in the know.

Happy Reading!

A Touch of Steele

The Gambler`s Daughters #3

May 2025 Available Now

Love and peril collide when the aristocratic Gwendolyn Lanscarr takes on the dangerously alluring Beckett Steele!

From the moment the enigmatic Mr. Steele “almost” kissed her on a Dublin street, her world was forever altered. Coffee Time Romance & More

Insta-Coffee Welcome. Today I’m talking with Karen Kay, and her books revolve around the American Indian culture. What an interesting theme. Tell us why you wanted to write about this.

Well, historically, the American Indians have pretty much had a bad rap. I can say this now having mounds of historical documents in my library of their own writings and/or stories they told to friends that they had personally been a part of, and those friends wrote those stories down. History in movies, in texts and other means of communication has been pretty much written by the victors and, until more recently, lies about them and their ideas of government, culture, freedom, the spiritual nature of man, the institution of marriage, of honor, of truth and the willingness to come to the aid of a friend has been hidden or simply not taught. And it is this culture which is unparalleled in many ways than any other society I have studied. Later, after I had started writing about the American Indians, I found out through a neighbor and a family tree (now lost) that I had Choctaw heritage that was hidden from me. This alone has given me a reason to try in my own humble way to write it the way I have found it to be.

How is your approach different?

I`m not sure my work is entirely different from others who write in this genre. The only thing I try to add is to make (though I write in fiction) many of the happenings in my books based on or inspired by real people who lived through some of the events I write about.

In order to write about the American Indian Culture, you have to be knowledgeable. Where do you do your research? J. Arlene Culiner

Insta-Coffee Welcome. Today I’m talking with Karen Kay, and her books revolve around the American Indian culture. What an interesting theme. Tell us why you wanted to write about this.

Well, historically, the American Indians have pretty much had a bad rap. I can say this now having mounds of historical documents in my library of their own writings and/or stories they told to friends that they had personally been a part of, and those friends wrote those stories down. History in movies, in texts and other means of communication has been pretty much written by the victors and, until more recently, lies about them and their ideas of government, culture, freedom, the spiritual nature of man, the institution of marriage, of honor, of truth and the willingness to come to the aid of a friend has been hidden or simply not taught. And it is this culture which is unparalleled in many ways than any other society I have studied. Later, after I had started writing about the American Indians, I found out through a neighbor and a family tree (now lost) that I had Choctaw heritage that was hidden from me. This alone has given me a reason to try in my own humble way to write it the way I have found it to be.

Insta-Coffee Tamela Miles is an amazing author of Romantic Paranormal Horror. Blending two genres has never been so exciting before. Check out her “Hell On Wheels” series. She’ll not be responsible for your sleepless nights because you won’t be able to put the stories down. Enjoy the rich and feisty characters who keep you enthralled. Don’t turn to the second page if you aren’t ready for a wild adventure. Thanks Tamela for such an amazing trio of stories. There are many more novels ahead.

How old were you when you first found your love of horror?

I stumbled across a Stephen King novel, I think it was “Christine”, around age 11 and was a confirmed horror stories fangirl for life.

When you began your writing career, did you find it hard to get published?

My first attempt at a paranormal romance was fantastic! ::laughing:: Or, so I thought until I submitted it to a boutique publisher’s editor. She gave me great feedback and sent me on my way back to my desktop PC. After bingeing several seasons of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, I was inspired to create a trilogy about my own demon hunter, Elle Connor, from my Hell On Heels stories. I received a publication offer from the Wild Rose Press within a few weeks of submitting that trilogy.

What is your absolute favorite horror movie or series?

My two favorite horror movies are The Exorcist and IT (Stephen King – both the older one and the newer reboot)

If you were in the movie and heard the scary music while going downstairs, what would you do, run or face the danger?

Depends on whether or not I’m amped up on chocolate and coffee, my two favorite avenues to caffeine. FrannyArmstrong-PNG

Wicked Ambition’s Special Price Is Ending—Are You In? https://bit.ly/45u45Ds

August 2025

The risk is real. The romance is hot. The deal ends Monday.
Hi Everyone

If you downloaded the bonus epilogue for Wicked Ambition, please double-check that you received the correct version—the one featuring Oz and Ayla. There was a mix-up, but it`s been fixed. If you got the wrong file, you`re welcome to re-download it. Just be sure to use the same email address you originally subscribed with, and you won’t get duplicate emails. I’m truly sorry for the hiccup—and grateful for your patience.

I’m sending this newsletter out early for three reasons. The first is the epilogue mix up that I mentioned above. The other two reasons involve a sale and early-bird pricing. There’s also a link to get a free ebook from another author down below. You can scroll past my chitchat if you’d rather get right to the news.
―
I’ve started a new reading challenge—well, new to me. It’s been around for a few years and kicked off in January, so I’m a little behind. I hoped the books already on my TBR would fit the prompts, but I ended up doing some library browsing to fill the gaps.

That’s how I stumbled across a Nora Roberts fantasy trilogy. I read book one to meet the prompt, but the ending had me rushing back for book two. I devoured it and immediately went to grab the final installment.

Except… my library didn’t have it.

Yep. They had books one and two of a trilogy—but not book three. I was so disappointed.

Thankfully, Georgia has a statewide library system. I was able to request the last book from another branch, but the wait time was estimated at five weeks—and patrons from that library could jump the queue.
