Darkest London:  Book 1

Once the flames are ignited . . .     Miranda Ellis is a woman tormented.  Plagued since birth by a strange and powerful gift, she has spent her entire  life struggling to control her exceptional abilities. Yet one innocent but  irreversible mistake has left her family’s fortune decimated and forced  her to wed London’s most nefarious nobleman.

They will burn for eternity . . .     Lord Benjamin Archer is no ordinary  man. Doomed to hide his disfigured face behind masks, Archer knows it’s selfish to take Miranda  as his bride. Yet he can’t help being drawn to the flame-haired beauty whose  touch sparks a passion he hasn’t felt in a lifetime. When Archer is accused of  a series of gruesome murders, he gives in to the beastly nature he has fought  so hard to hide from the world. But the curse that haunts him cannot be denied.  Now, to save his soul, Miranda will enter a world of dark magic and darker  intrigue. For only she can see the man hiding behind the mask.

I have always loved books but discovered romance books later in life while home with a sick child thanks to my best friend, Brenda. It didn't take long to meet up with Karen and learn that we shared a lot more than a love of books. We are sisters in...

Insta-Coffee Some readers finish a book and move on.

The Collector finishes a book and thinks, What else is there?
The Collector: Readers Who Want to Keep the Story
Collectors experience stories as more than something they read. When they fall in love with a book or fictional world, they want something they can keep, revisit, display, explore, or add to their collection.

For these readers, the story may begin with the book, but it doesn`t have to end there.
Identity
“I read to collect what I love.”

Collectors form attachments not only to stories and characters, but also to the things associated with them.

A signed edition. A special cover. A bonus scene. A map of the world. Character art. A family tree. A novella about a favorite secondary character.

Each offers another way to remain connected to something they already value.
Core Drive: Possession
Possession doesn`t necessarily mean having things for the sake of having things.

For the Collector, ownership can be an expression of emotional investment.

The book they keep on the shelf isn`t simply a book. It represents an experience they loved. Additional material gives that experience permanence and allows them to carry a piece of the fictional world into their own.

Digital extras can serve the same purpose. A downloadable map, exclusive scene, character profile, or collection of lore can become part of the reader`s personal archive. Kayelle Allen

Insta-Coffee Halloween Scavenger Hunt

https://bit.ly/SHAKNevermore

There once was an assassin. One day, he met a fairy and completely lost his head.

Nikodem Wiśniewski had no desire to take over the family business after his father died, but trying to get out of it has brought him every bit of chaos and upset his grandmother’s bones predicted—delivered by a beautiful girl he’s convinced is a fairy…and his fated mate. Charlie Peel isn’t having any of it, positive Nikoś is a superstitious nut. His adamancy she’s a fairy is the last thing she needs to hear after being dumped and losing her job…but with all those tatted muscles and his incredibly sexy Polish accent, she’s totally willing to pretend to be his girlfriend for an hour or two. Especially if the possibility of a real life dark romance is on the table. But the both of them are in for far more than they bargained for. When their plans go sideways, Nikoś has no choice but to take Charlie out of the country to set things right. But chaos and upset follow them at every turn. With enemies nipping at their heels, they’ll have outwit the authorities, the mob, and her mother to break a mysterious curse. Because if they don’t, happily ever after isn’t how their story’s going to end. Felons meets folklore in the big city when a broody assassin falls in love with a fairy in denial. FAIRYTALE, a standalone spicy paranormal mafia romance with lots of laughs by AK Nevermore. BONUS CONTENT! Previously released as a free serial, FairyTale now includes a never-before-seen extended epilogue!

Insta-Coffee Halloween Scavenger Hunt

https://bit.ly/SHHarleyWylde

She risked her future for my brother. I’ll risk everything for her.

Maren -- Treating a gunshot wound could cost me my license -- and career. I did it anyway. Saving a biker’s life was supposed to be one reckless decision. I never expected Patch -- the quiet, controlled man who brought him to me -- to become someone I could depend on. Then I discover someone has been using the veterinary clinic where I work for an illegal operation, putting everything I’ve worked for -- and possibly my life -- at risk. Patch says he’ll handle it. I’m beginning to understand exactly what that promise means. And I’m not sure I want to walk away.

Patch -- For twenty years, I’ve made sure my brothers come home alive. Then Freak takes a bullet, our doctor is gone, and my only option is a vet tech with steady hands and enough courage to risk everything to save him. Maren should have walked away from us afterward. Instead, I keep finding reasons to see her. Protect her. Make her problems mine. And when I discover someone has been using her clinic for something dangerous, there’s no question what happens next.

No one touches what’s mine.

WARNING: This book contains violence, gunshot wounds, kidnapping, organized crime, illegal activity, and medical emergencies. It also features an age-gap romance and sexual content. Intended for mature readers.

Insta-Coffee Halloween Scavenger Hunt

https://bit.ly/SHestellepettersen

Jasmine Starling lives by three rules: no dating, no sex, and absolutely no falling in love. But the moment Ryan West—tall, tempting, and unfairly gorgeous—steps into her world, those rules start to crumble fast. One smile warms places inside her that she thought were frozen for good. Ryan teases her, touches the soft spots she hides from everyone else, and wakes up a hunger she’s tried to bury for years. He makes her feel alive again—body, heart, and everything in between.

What begins as innocent sparks swiftly grows into a slow, hot burn they can’t put out. As danger draws nearer and old wounds surface, Jasmine finds herself craving him in ways she swore she never would. Wrangling Ryan is a fierce, steamy outback romance where desire hits hard, trust cuts deep, and one night could never be enough.

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?

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.
