BLURB

She’s counting down the days until she leaves Tuscany. He’s counting on making her stay.

Some people go to Tuscany to find themselves.
I went to escape—New York, my ex’s new relationship, and a career that derailed the moment I was passed over for partner.
My plan was simple: settle my eccentric Italian grandmother’s estate, sell whatever wasn’t nailed down, and return to the life I’d worked too hard to lose.
Instead, I walked into a mess—a crumbling antique shop, two hundred acres of leased vineyard land, and one infuriating clause in the will: Live and work in the shop for three months, or inherit nothing.
Then there’s the neighbor I clash with instantly. Matteo Lucchese is the infuriatingly handsome winemaker who leases my family’s land and refuses to be impressed by my credentials—or my attitude. He’s rugged and stubborn, stuck living in a time that has long passed us by, and the word rush isn’t part of his vocabulary. Basically, we’re exact opposites.
But as the days stretch into weeks, Tuscany chips away at the armor I didn’t realize I was wearing, and Matteo shows me the appeal of slowing down, of staying rooted, of wanting something other than climbing the corporate ladder.
I came to Tuscany to escape.
But now that the countdown to going home was on, I wasn’t sure if I was ready to leave. And the life I was falling for came with a looming expiration date.

BLURB


I was born into Bratva royalty, but that never made me a princess. My entire life I’ve been mocked and ignored, and the only place I’ve ever felt like myself was at the theater, with a needle in my hand and beautiful fabrics around me.

That’s where I met him.

A stranger with a missing button, clear blue eyes, and a voice that made the world feel less cruel for one stolen night.

We only exchanged our first names and talked the night away over warm coffees and pastries before my life came crashing down around me.

 

Years later, my grandfather is dead, the Bratva is at war, and I’m imprisoned because of my family. I’m broken, bruised, and forgotten until the new pakhan comes to inspect his prisoners.

Rodian Volkov.

The man I never forgot. Only now, he isn’t a stranger with gentle hands and friendly eyes.

He’s become savage just like the rest of the men who bend the knee to him.

He’s now the monster I fear.

 

When he tells the Bratva he’s marrying me to bring peace, I’m too terrified to argue.

Because saying no to the pakhan is never an option.

LAVENDER HILL 

by Aurora Rose Reynolds 

releasing October 13th!



From New York Times bestselling author Aurora Rose Reynolds comes a heartwarming small-town romance about a woman returning to the roots that shaped her—and finding a love that will heal her.


Genevieve Fenwick has her life together—until her fiancé’s betrayal tears their future apart. Now, heartbroken and unsure of what’s next, she looks for comfort where it all began: Gooseberry Ridge, the quaint and still-welcoming hometown she left behind.


Genevieve’s heartache is soon displaced by family drama, eccentric neighbors, and a loveable search-and-rescue dog. Not to mention scandalous thoughts about deputy sheriff Wyatt Foster. But while Wyatt is ruggedly handsome, loyal, and protective (everything her fiancé wasn’t), Genevieve’s still hurting. No amount of chemistry can change that.


And yet, as her meddling, matchmaking mother and tight-knit Montana home keep pushing her and Wyatt together, Genevieve realizes there’s more than just a spark there. The charge burns brighter with every run-in, every word, every layer exposing the softness beneath his strength.


Wyatt has something Genevieve wants. Something she needs. And though her best-laid plans lie in ruins, he might be the best shot she’s ever taken.

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.
