The Lost Child by Thomas Grant Bruso

by Thomas Grant Bruso | Oct 16, 2023 | Coffee, Books & a Blog

Newspaper reporter Luke Sorenson has recently moved to a new town in upstate New York. Despite the change in scenery, Luke cannot run away from a brutal, harrowing past driven by the death of his only child, Emily. Soon, Luke is propelled into a dangerous case of...

Insta-Coffee | Sharing our love of books and authors with you since 2004.

Insta-Coffee Dear Wonderful Readers,

The Busty Bodice Club

Eight sisters. Eight curves of fate.

And one father’s final wish: live boldly, love recklessly, and never hide the curves of your lives—or your bodies.

Raised under the strict rules of an overprotective parent, the Harrington sisters were taught to stay quiet, proper, and out of trouble. But with their father’s last letters, everything changes. Each voluptuous beauty is handed a task designed to push her beyond society’s rigid corsets and into passion, scandal, and adventure.

From scandalous portraits and secret wagers…to daring rescues and forbidden kisses…the Busty Bodice Club isn’t just about finding love. It’s about embracing every lush curve, every wild desire, and every reckless chance at happiness.

The series is also about eight writers, each with her own voice and vision, drawing together in a collaboration that challenges each to bring their best to the keyboard. No, we haven’t worked together before and it is refreshing to be bouncing story ideas off of such fabulous professionals.

Eliana Piers is the Canadian who developed the series. Eliana is known for a fast pace read featuring fun banter. She is also the most organized writer I have ever met. She will be kicking off the series with Curves for the Grumpy Duke. www.elianapiers.com

Everyone knows and loves Tracy Sumner. Her strong-willed heroines and the alpha heroes with big hearts are some of the best on the shelves. Curves for the Silver Fox Duke promises to bring all of her trademark sizzle to the pages. www.tracy-sumner.com

New-to-me is Annabelle Anders. Her characters thrive on meeting every challenge life tosses at them. They are sexy and bold. Coffee Time Romance & More

Insta-Coffee How the hell did I end up with my one-night stand, dragon-shifting enemy-next-door?

Draven Vaughn is trouble wrapped in leather and smoke — who happens to shift into a dragon.

One reckless night, I fell into his bed, only to wake up alone.

Now, he`s my infuriating neighbor in Avalora Springs, frustratingly mysterious, and dangerously powerful.

Quiet acts of kindness, from silently repairing my leaking faucet to patrolling the perimeter in dragon form at night, flips my world upside down.

Late-night talks on his porch slowly replace arguments, his laughter makes my heart ache for something real.

A stolen kiss under the moonlit sky, filled with whispered apologies and tender touches, shatters my resolve entirely.

But just as I’m ready to risk my heart completely, the enemy strikes hard, kidnapping me to use our unborn child for twisted experiments—and Draven is the only hope we have left.

Insta-Coffee She’s a Hollywood leading lady who’s never found love–except with Jax, her Basenji. He’s divorced from a cheating wife and refuses to ever give his heart away again. Together, their smoking-hot chemistry leads to movie magic—and murder....

Mac Randall’s life turns upside down when he walks in on his wife and her lover. He finishes his tour of duty overseas and leaves the army, becoming a popular stuntman in Hollywood. When the actor Mac doubles for is murdered, Mac is surprised to find himself cast as the film’s leading man—at the suggestion of the actress who will play opposite him.

Keely Kennedy has built a solid career in Hollywood, rising from supporting roles to leading lady, but she’s been unlucky in love. She becomes close friends with Mac Randall, her new co-star, while she helps him prepare for his first on-screen role.

Friendship blossoms into love during their shoot and despite several mishaps on the set, she knows not only has she done the best work in her career on this film, but she believes Mac will become an instant star. Before production is complete, though, the murderer surfaces—ready to kill the film—and its two stars.

There had been another death, this one of a female dragon Joel had never heard of.

Insta-Coffee We vowed to stay away, but the embers of our passion refused to die.

Kinsley

As a barrel racer and rodeo royalty, I lived for pushing boundaries—in the arena and in love. I was determined to make my own mark on the cutthroat world of professional rodeo, even if it meant taking risks that left everyone else shaking their heads.

But when my latest gamble threw me back into the path of the cowboy who still held my heart, our explosive chemistry reignited, shattering any hope of keeping our distance. I was willing to give us one more chance, but I was terrified of repeating our past mistakes.

Could we outrun our history? Or would it catch up to us, costing us everything?

Wyatt

As a cowboy who played by his own rules and answered to no one, I was adamant about making it on my own terms, even as bad luck seemed determined to drag me down. The last thing I needed was the distraction of the woman who pushed every one of my buttons.

But her fiery spirit and undeniable allure were a temptation I couldn`t resist. And as much as I craved her touch, I needed to prove I was worthy of her love before I could give in to it.

We`d tried and failed before, but this time, I wasn`t sure I could walk away. Even if it destroyed me.

Hold on tight for a wild ride in the first book of the Bad Luck Cowboys series, where love and rodeo collide, and "never" might just turn into forever.

Perfect for fans of Elsie Silver, Lyla Sage, and small-town cowboy romance that’s sweet, spicy, and full of heart.

Insta-Coffee 

View in browser

As enemies close in to drag “Belle” back to the life she thought she wanted, Blade will do anything to protect the woman fate has tied to his heart. But freeing him may cost Isabelle everything—because the cure for this curse isn’t a spell…it’s true love.

Expect:

- 🌕 BWWM, Beauty & the Beast retelling with modern bite
- 🐺 Cursed, possessive alpha who guards what’s his
- 💋 Forced proximity & fated-mates tension (oh yes, the spice delivers)
- 🗡 Family secrets, enemies at the door, pack politics
- ❤️ A fierce heroine who chooses love on her own terms

If you crave fairy-tale magic with adult heat, protective-alpha devotion, and a romance that claws its way to happily-ever-after, you’ll devour Beastly Curse.

Grab it now on Kindle → Available today

P.S. Ratings at time of writing: Amazon ★4.0 (239 reviews); Goodreads 3.9 (172 ratings).

A passionate fairy tale about a forbidden love and a curse that only true love can cure.

Love was never meant for a man like me until she stumbles into my forest. Isabelle Rose, with her jet black hair, mahogany skin, and intoxicating scent, called to me from miles away.

Blade is a beast of a man, a towering presence, a chiseled body, sharp fangs, and he runs with a pack of wolves. Wolves, my father helped kill. And I’m willing to trade my life for his.

My Belle… My Enemy… Our Love.

Is it possible that she’s the one to break the curse? That she can feel anything, other than fear, for a man like me?

But the moment I sense enemies lurking to reclaim my Belle, our differences don’t matter because there’s no way I’ll let them harm her. Coffee Time Romance & More
