Insta-Coffee Halloween Scavenger Hunt

https://bit.ly/SHlaurenfraser

How’s a girl supposed to resist a sexy mountain man? Oh yeah, when he’s your best friend’s brother. Shoot.

As a prima ballerina, I’ve spent my life laser-focused on my career—no roots, no distractions, no mistakes. Love was always something I’d get to later. But with my grandpa’s passing, all that changed. Suddenly I’m back in the small town where I spent my summers, sorting out his estate, and wanting things I have no business thinking about.

I thought I remembered everything about Hollow Peak. I was wrong. Asher Briggs is so much more than I remember. He has this whole mountain man vibe going on with the beard, the broad shoulders and the calloused hands. I mean come on. Are you kidding me? But why does he also have to be kind, capable and protective? How am I supposed to resist that?
Unfortunately he’s still my best friend’s brother. So… yep, off limits. Too bad my hormones didn’t get the memo.

But this is only temporary. My life, my career, my home are all in the city.
I can’t stay.
Right?

Insta-Coffee Halloween Scavenger Hunt

https://www.rebeccadaleauthor.com/

He was supposed to protect her.
Instead, she was taken.

Summer is gone—torn from Jacob and dragged into a nightmare she doesn’t understand. Trapped in a place where every promise hides a threat and every act of defiance has consequences, survival becomes a matter of endurance… and obedience.

They want her broken.

Back in Rosefield, Jacob Darnell will stop at nothing to bring her home. Every answer uncovers another lie. Every lead exposes a truth that was never meant to be found. And the closer he gets to Summer… the closer he gets to a past capable of destroying everything she thought she knew.

Because love like his isn’t gentle.

It’s relentless.

It’s unforgiving.

And it will burn everything in its path.

Every reckoning burns.
This one leaves ashes.

Insta-Coffee I take one fake engagement to save my bookstore and somehow end up falling for an off-limits billionaire who treats trust like a legal liability.

I told myself fake-dating Ethan Carr would be easy.

Smile for the cameras, help Manhattan’s most intimidating billionaire win custody of his son, and save the Brooklyn bookstore my aunt left behind. Simple.

He’s arrogant, demanding, and infuriatingly handsome—the kind of man who treats emotions like weaknesses.

It’s impossible to keep my distance.

Every lingering glance, every stolen touch, and every heated moment spent playing the perfect couple blurs the line between pretend and real.

Before long, the chemistry between us becomes impossible to ignore and one scorching, fire kiss changes everything.

But men like Ethan don`t surrender control easily.

If the truth comes out, I could lose my bookstore, Ethan could lose custody of Noah, and the family they`ve accidentally created could be torn apart before it ever has a chance to become real.

Insta-Coffee Long time nemeses and rival neighbors butt heads in a fierce competition for first place in their neighborhood’s Christmas house-decorating competition in this high-spirited holiday romance.

The local rumor mill in Nisa Ansari`s small highland town is swirling about the downfall of her marriage, and in desperate need of a distraction, she enters her town’s Christmas house-decorating competition. The competition comes with the added bonus of getting on neighbor Kerr Murdoch’s last nerve. It’s the least she could do, considering her ex-husband left Nisa for Kerr’s girlfriend. And maybe if Kerr smiled or cracked a joke—just once!—his girlfriend would’ve stayed, and Nisa wouldn’t find herself alone during the holidays.

Introverted Kerr has trouble feeling comfortable around people he doesn’t know well. Newly single, he decorates his house in remembrance of his mother, who always had a soft spot for Christmas lights. But when Nisa`s and Kerr’s decorations end up nearly identical, he incurs Nisa’s wrath.

This means all-out war, complete with gaudy wreaths, twinkle lights, and too many reindeer to count. Never mind that Nisa can’t keep her eyes off Kerr’s toned forearms. Or ignore that he’s a pet-loving veterinarian with a heart of gold. After conceding to her husband’s wishes for years, Nisa is determined to get her way. But as Christmas draws near, Nisa must decide what she actually wants: the familiar rivalry she’s had for years with Kerr, or opening herself up to the chance to fall in love with someone new.

Insta-Coffee September in Washington, DC, was a miserable time to be hard, Blau reflected as he struggled toward his dorm room. Not that it would be much cooler there, but at least he could scratch anything and everything he wanted to.
But as he entered the courtyard before his dormitory, he saw the fountain splashing merrily in the insane sunshine. Blau started toward it, only noticing the KEEP OUT signs when he was a few feet from the glorious spray. Letting out a growl of frustration, he stopped short with his hands balled into fists. What sort of taunt was this? Water just meters away and no one allowed even near it?
Frustrated and itching worse than before, Blau decided to give up being human for a few minutes. In spite of the academy’s rules, he doubted anyone would object to a dragon taking his true form for only a little while. After all, there were hundreds of different creatures on this campus. Surely all of them didn’t keep their human guises all the time.
He took a few steps away from the fountain and changed into his eight-foot-tall, pale blue, scaly form. Hence the name Blau, which was the thought he had almost every time he changed.
As tall as the fountain now, he stretched his wings. Just this small amount of free movement felt so good. Blau arched his neck and groaned as his skin settled more comfortably around him, accommodating itself to his frame. He would have been tempted to blow fire for the sheer joy of it, but he didn’t dare violate SearchLight Academy’s rules more than he was already. Fire was a threat to most creatures.
“What are you doing?” demanded a voice below him.
Blau looked down, expecting a teacher or even campus security. emilycarrington

Insta-Coffee A thrilling and sexy wager between friends turns deadly when they discover they aren’t the only ones who are preying.…

No deity has ever compelled Caine Underwood to drop to his knees in worship like Margot Walker does. Ever since the Halloween when she played Red Riding Hood to his Big Bad Wolf, he’s been chasing her attention—and betting that he can build a haunt so terrifying she won’t make it through. Now, Margot’s single and Caine’s pulling out all the stops to win their annual wager, and he wants her for his prize.

Margot understands fear. Six years ago, she unveiled her televangelist ex-husband’s sins, and the situation turned bloody. Now, being hunted and devoured by Caine isn’t terrifying, it’s arousing…but the haunted house director isn’t the only one trying to scare her.

Taunting threats commanding her to confess, repent, and atone for her sins start arriving, and when Caine discovers a zealot from Margot’s past is stalking her every move, his anger is lethal.

There’s only one man allowed to haunt Margot…

Him.

Insta-Coffee Some readers want to enjoy a story.
Others want to vanish into it.

The Immersive reader wants the outside world to disappear. They want to look up from a book and realize an hour has passed without their noticing. They want characters, settings, and events to feel so immediate that turning the next page becomes almost automatic.

For these readers, the best story is one they don`t merely read.

They enter it.
The Immersive
This post is part of the Reader Motivation System.

Each reader archetype is driven by a core need that shapes how they engage with story.
Identity
"I read to disappear."

Immersive readers want to become absorbed in the experience of the story.

They want to forget the chair they`re sitting in, the room around them, and the clock on the wall. They want the fictional world to become, temporarily, more immediate than the real one.

When that happens, reading stops feeling like an activity.

It feels like being somewhere else.
Core Drive: Absorption
Immersive readers seek sustained engagement.

They want the story to keep drawing them forward without repeatedly reminding them that they`re reading. This doesn`t require nonstop action or breakneck pacing. A quiet conversation can be deeply immersive if the reader needs to know what happens next.

The key is momentum.

Something is always pulling them deeper. Kayelle Allen
