  INTRODUCING AUTHOR Jessica Lauryn I always loved books as a child and when I was six, watching soap operas with my mother, I fell in love with romance.  I kept the idea of one day writing for the soaps in the back of my mind for years. But along the way I...

Excerpt From: An Enchanting Song by Jessica Lauryn

Heat danced along Madelyn’s skin.  She tried to stay calm, but a mass of molten lava seemed to be rising inside of her.  “How dare you!” “How dare I what?”  Sebastian lifted his shifty brows.  “How dare you do whatever you did to get Evan to cast you as the lead in...

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

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

Insta-Coffee He sees what she tries so hard to hide. And he isn`t afraid of it.

Miranda is carrying something heavier than a guarded heart. A truth she didn`t ask for and can`t undo. One that changes everything she thought she knew about her future and makes her question whether she has the right to let someone else share it.

Paul offers her something real. Something steady. Something she has quietly longed for her whole life.

And that`s exactly why she has to push him away.

Because loving him would mean telling him. And telling him might mean losing him. Or worse, watching him stay out of pity rather than love.

Some people are made for each other. But what if the one person meant for you deserves more than you`re able to give?

A deeply moving romance about sacrifice, surrender, and the fierce, fragile courage it takes to trust God with an unknown future.

If you enjoyed Nicholas Sparks` "The Notebook," you`ll also love "Forget Me Not" by Karen Cogan. Buy now and join Miranda and Paul on their journey of love, sacrifice, and faith. Don`t miss out on this unforgettable story before the price changes.

Excerpt

She opened the door to the principal`s office so that he could step inside. As he passed her, the faint scent of his aftershave reached her. Cinnamon, she thought.

Miranda closed the door behind him and stood there for a moment longer than necessary, as the warmth of his expression lingered.

Reluctantly, she turned back to her task of assembling the morning announcements.

What brought Mr. Green into the office this morning? Was he a parent? A volunteer? Or a new hire?
She shook her head and told herself to focus. JAC

Insta-Coffee The first book in The Binding Chronicles, Tethered is a darkly seductive romantasy for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and The Serpent and the Wings of Night, blending forbidden love, dangerous magic and a bond that defies fate.
What could be worse than an arranged marriage to a vampire prince?
When Luna is sold into marriage to the vampire Prince of Darkness, she expects cruelty, not temptation. Prince Sebastian was made to obey his queen, even if that means binding himself to a mortal he doesn`t want and burying every trace of the humanity he lost centuries ago. But the moment their blood mingles during the Binding Ceremony, something ancient and forbidden ignites between them.

Now bound by a magic neither understands and incapable of going more than thirty feet apart, Luna and Sebastian are trapped in each other`s orbit—tethered but unwilling to surrender. As political schemes twist into betrayal and war brews on the horizon, desire becomes their greatest danger. Loving each other could cost them their crowns, their kingdoms and their lives.

Steeped in dark magic, aching passion and impossible choices, Tethered is a sweeping gothic romantasy about two enemies bound by fate and undone by love.

Saphira has been one of my favorite characters in the Karthedan world since the very beginning. Long before she became the legendary Nythiri healer, spy, diplomat, and warrior readers meet in the main

series, she was a young acolyte struggling to find her place in a complicated and often dangerous world. This novella gave me the opportunity to explore those early years and share a glimpse of the events that helped shape the woman she would eventually become.

Julian’s flat was a disaster, but Mel couldn’t be sure if it was on account of Julian tearing the place apart in a fit of pique or if it was always like this. Based on what his room had been like when she and her big brother had lived at home, she didn’t really doubt this was just the way he lived.

Mel hadn’t been here since the day Julian had moved in three years ago. She saw enough of her brother at the place where they worked, the place where they drank, and the place where they performed. She hardly needed to come round his place to get even more time with the manic muppet.

Julian even did devastation manic. He was pacing around the living room, pulling at his hair, talking a mile a minute. Coffee Time Romance & More

Description
Murad is an Imperial Messenger, and he has a secret... He’s a witch.

On a visit to the foreign court of Mercia in Britain, he has a vision of the crown prince, Aaron, in serious trouble.

In his desire to save Aaron’s life, Murad becomes entangled in Mercia’s political strife, border disputes, and rising Paganism.

At the heart of the conspiracy, Murad encounters a powerful blood witch who has plans to sow division in the land.

Her magic is too strong for Murad on his own, so he seeks out new allies in two very different witches: a green witch, and a Viking seer.

As lines are drawn in the sand, both at court and on the battlefield, Murad stands with Aaron, bolstered by their allies. Together, they can unite Mercia for good.

Insta-Coffee In this clever and surprising thriller about the perils of modern dating and the female rage it sometimes inspires, a board game designer starts playing by her own rules, and losers won’t be tolerated.

The friendship game. The dating game. The end game. For board game designer Tilda Smith they’re all necessary steps on the path to finding happiness. And by structuring her life according to a set of rules, just like in the games that she loves to create at her job, Tilda can finally win.

The only problem? The other players don’t know they’re playing by Tilda’s rules. She’s fair. Very fair, in fact. But then one night her date pushes her too far and she gets just a bit carried away. Any player who disappoints must face consequences, right? But as Tilda finds herself transporting a body in a laundry bag, she has to question how to make the punishment fit the crime.

And now someone is watching Tilda and playing a game of their own. Will they turn the tables on her, or can she figure out a way to best them? The game is never really over until she says it is.

Game on.

Description
London 1825. When a young American heiress arrives at a Society ball draped in long-lost sapphires and diamonds belonging to the late Duchess of Ashington, jaws drop and tempers rise.

Thirty years earlier, those jewels vanished after a deadly shooting party. Now, they’ve resurfaced around the neck of the odious Marquess of Talybridge’s beautiful betrothed.

The current Duke of Ashington wants them back where they belong, and his close friends are only too happy to plot a daring heist on his behalf. But he’s not the only man with his eyes on the prize. A mysterious French viscount, new to London and shrouded in scandal, wants them too.

Enter Mickey Maurice, gambling hell owner Tommy Squire’s right-hand man. Loyal and discreet, Mickey glides through Society largely unobserved. Under the duke’s instruction, he’s tasked with seducing the truth out of the foreigner.

But when secrets, schemes, and seductions collide, the real thief might just be a matter of the heart. And for young Mickey, love might be the riskiest heist of all.

This fourth book in the Rossingley Regency romance series features friends old and new, a jewel heist, and lashings of falling in love. Fearne Hill

Description
Mina Rubenstein has a secret. She doesn’t just sketch elves; her drawings transport her into the kingdom of Auralon. Once there, the princely Callon informs her the king has vanished, dark forces are rising, and Mina is the Netherworld Witch. According to the prophecy, only she can shape the ethereal darkness into anything imagined, find the missing monarch, and save the realm. Mina never asked for magic, let alone a destiny, but refusing Callon’s plea to save his father could doom Auralon.

The only thing worse than her possible death at the hands of mythical monsters is junior year at St. Benedict’s Catholic School. When bullies target her, Mina’s best friend Ayden becomes her sanctuary and first love. But as the torment escalates, Ayden reaches a breaking point. Desperate and angry, she buys a weapon and begins talking about revenge.

Trapped between two worlds, Mina searches for peace in both. One world is filled with family, Ayden, and school. The other full of wild magic and Callon. As Mina’s existence at St. Benedict’s descends into pandemonium, she wonders whether her quest in Auralon is fate or a way to avoid the pain of reality.

Insta-Coffee I was kidnapped, then rescued by a relentless Alpha… and somehow getting claimed as his fated mate.

Wanting him is dangerous; he`s overbearing and calls it protection.

I hate the way he watches me. Like I already belong to him.

Everything changes the night he refuses to let me leave.

Now I’m stuck in his territory, his rooms, his rules. Forced into a bond I don’t understand.

Then my body betrays me. Heightened senses. Strength I can’t control. And he’s the only one who can steady me.



He defends me, trains, and touches me like I matter… Then after one night of passion, I fall despite myself.

But someone inside his pack is hunting me, and the truth is worse than the danger.

I’m not human. My bloodline is powerful enough to start a war.

And if they can’t control me…

They’ll kill me and the baby I never saw coming.

Insta-Coffee Stephanie Laurens` The Cavanaughs Return! Newsletter, August 27th, 2026.



Getting swept away by a good story is one of life`s greatest pleasures.



Hello, dear readers! It’s been a hot minute since we spoke, hasn’t it?

I hope you have all been doing well!

I am extremely happy to be able to answer one of the most burning questions I have received in the last year - Yes, The Cavanauaghs are BACK!

Due to a change in contract ownership, the first two Cavanaugh novels (The Designs of Lord Randolph Cavanaugh and The Pursuits of Lord Kit Cavanaugh) were taken off the market in the last year. I can finally announce that the contract ownership has been transferred to me, and I can now publish the novels directly onto the market. Woohoo!

So, with that, if you haven’t come across these amazing novels before, let me outline their stories and characters, with details on how to purchase below.

THE DESIGNS OF LORD RANDOLPH CAVANAUGH is the first novel in the series, The Cavanuaghs. Lord Randolph Cavanaugh is loyal and devoted—but only to family. To the rest of the world, he’s aloof and untouchable, a respected and driven entrepreneur. But Rand yearns for more in life, and when he travels to Buckinghamshire to review a recent investment, he discovers a passionate woman who will challenge his ruthless self-control…

Felicia Throgmorton intends to keep her family afloat. For decades, her father was consumed by his inventions and now, months after his death, with their finances in ruins, her brother insists on continuing their father’s tinkering. Felicia is desperate to hold together what’s left of the estate. Coffee Time Romance & More
