SHADOW OF SIN
Deadly Sins #2
Kristen Luciani
Release Date: August 13
A standalone dark mafia romance where a wrongly convicted hacker heroine meets her match — an obsessed, neurodivergent tech genius who's been watching her for two years.
I went to prison for a crime I didn't commit.
Fourteen months behind bars because I trusted the wrong man. When I got out, I swore I'd never make that mistake again.
Then a Russian gangster turned my brother Sal into leverage and gave me a choice: hack for him, or watch Sal pay the price.
So I became a ghost. The best in the city. Untraceable. Untouchable. Invisible.
Until I broke into the wrong network and discovered someone had already been inside mine.
His name is Wolfe Molloy. He's the tech genius behind Boston's most powerful Irish crime family. He's quiet, intense, and brutally intelligent. He doesn't do small talk. He doesn't do charm. He eats cereal for dinner and forgets to sleep and his brain never, ever shuts off.
Except when he's near me.
There's just one problem.
He's been watching me for two years. He knows my real name, my aliases, my conviction, and every move I've made since I walked out of that prison. He says he wants to protect me and my brother. He says he needs my skills to take down the man who controls my life.
What he's not saying is what scares me.
Because Wolfe Molloy is hiding something. A secret about my past that could set me free or shatter every reason I have to trust him.
The closer I get, the harder he is to resist. He touches me like I'm something precious. He stands between me and every threat like his body is a wall he built just for me. He looks at me like I'm the only thing in this world his mind can't take apart and put back together.
And when the truth comes out — when I find out what he's been keeping from me — I'll have to decide if the man who buried my freedom is the same man who'd bleed to protect it.
Because in this world, love isn't just dangerous.
It's the one thing neither of us knows how to survive.

Backup Plan by Lisa Suzanne is now live!
BACKUP PLAN is an emotional and spicy sports standalone romance with a single mom, a secret relationship, and a pro football player who falls first from Amazon Top Ten Bestselling Author Lisa Suzanne.
Moving into my best friend’s brother’s penthouse was never part of my plan. Neither was falling for him. But when a few drinks with pro football quarterback Liam Bradley leave me tangled in his sheets, my plans have been derailed.
When Liam offers me a room in his penthouse so I can move out of my soon-to-be ex’s house, it seems like the perfect backup plan while I navigate an ugly divorce and try to keep my life together for my two young boys.
Somewhere between video game tournaments with my boys and late-night conversations over cereal, what was supposed to be a one-time thing is turning into more. But Liam is the last man I should want and the worst possible distraction…which is why we’re sneaking around in secret.
While Liam fights for the chance to finally become more than a backup quarterback, I'm fighting to protect my boys from a man determined to use every mistake against me.
And falling for my backup plan is already complicated enough before another woman shows up carrying Liam Bradley's baby.

When I saw this I knew I had to get my hands on it. I really enjoyed the last book and I was excited to see where this series was going next. Even more intriguing was the fact that it was Wolfe and I couldn't wait to see how this author was going to approach his neuro-diversity.
And I have to say that Wolfe was perfect. His neuro spicy personality shone through so beautifully and made him a really unique character. Watching him fall for Eva and discover that he was capable of those feelings and emotions despite having to fight his own brain to understand and express it.
Eva was perfect for Wolfe. She had her own hyper fixations and such an analytical mind that she could appreciate all of Wolfe's quirks. And after everything that she had been through she was so strong and independent while also being a little bit broken.
The story had so much going on and watching the brothers working together after everything they went through in the first book was great. I think you could absolutely read this as a standalone but I highly recommend reading it in order.

He was her first bad decision.
He never stopped wanting to be her last.
Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Hope Mazzola returns to the ice with the next installment in her Shots on Goal: MN Frosthawks series—where chemistry is dangerous, and some lines were never meant to be crossed.
Ty “Buzz” Burns was never supposed to come back into Lucy Thomas’s life.
Not after high school.
Not after the mistake that ended everything.
Because Lucy didn’t just move on—she rebuilt.
A life where reckless boys like Buzz don’t belong.
Except now he does.
Buzz plays for the Minnesota Frosthawks.
The team her father owns.
The team she works for.
The one place she can’t avoid him.
He’s still chaos on the ice—fast, loud, impossible to ignore.
But this version of him doesn’t disappear when things get hard.
He shows up.
He stays.
And the more they’re forced into the same space, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth—
This isn’t over. It never was.
Lucy has everything to lose—her career, her father’s trust, the life she’s built.
Buzz has one chance to prove he’s not the boy who broke her.
But wanting each other has never been the problem.
Walking away is.
Wild Card #13 was supposed to stay in the past.
This time, it might be the one mistake they can’t walk away from.

HOSTILE TAKEOVER
Emma Lee Jayne
Release Date: September 16
Blurb:
Kitty Biedermann has three rules for a layover in a bar she already hates:
Don't stare at the gorgeous cowboy across the room
Don't go home with him
Never, ever see him again.
She breaks all three.
It doesn't matter. He's a stranger in a state she's sworn off for good, and by morning she'll never see him again.
Except two months later, the CEO of FMJ walks into her boardroom to buy out her family's failing jewelry empire. And he's the cowboy from the bar.
Ford Langley isn't broke. He isn't a stranger. And he's not going anywhere.
The only problem?
She's carrying his baby. She can't read a word of the contract he wants her to sign. And according to the tabloids, she's already a gold-digging disaster who can't run her own company.
Ford's job is to fix things that are broken and then move on. Kitty is the first thing he's ever wanted to keep.
Too bad "hostile takeover" was supposed to mean her company. Not her heart.
