Sometimes the road home isn't on a map. After a painful breakup and a stalled career, journalist Kaiah Ross sets out on a reporting road trip down the East Coast, hoping the miles will help her find her way again. But when car trouble strands her in the postcard-perfect town of Coral Cove, she's forced to stop running--and unexpectedly finds herself drawn into a life that feels like something out of a dream.

The last thing he's looking for is a relationship. But from the moment Kaiah arrives, her kindness, warmth, and quiet strength stir something in him he thought was long buried. When Kaiah agrees to help promote the town's annual "Light the Dark" Festival--a celebration meant to save Coral Cove's historic lighthouse--what begins as a simple arrangement quickly turns into something more. Late nights of planning under string lights, shared laughter over coffee, and quiet, heartfelt moments with Piper begin to weave Kaiah into the fabric of Reid's life . . . and into his heart. But just as love begins to blossom, Kaiah is faced with an offer that could relaunch her career and take her far from Coral Cove. Now, she's forced to choose between the life she thought she wanted and the unexpected love that's given her a glimpse of home.

Not You Again


They have nothing but time...to hate each other. In Julian, California, every day is April 23rd—and in a time loop, there are no rules. Eating endless slices of fresh apple pie? Yes. Partner swapping? Why not. Being trapped inside the plot of a sci-fi film would almost be inspiring for LA screenwriter Carly Hart…if she wasn’t waking up at her dad’s funeral every single day. Carly wants out. Funeral director Adam Rhodes is equally frustrated. Every loop, Adam regenerates in the middle of a fight with his ex-wife. Her infidelity wrecked their perfect life together, and now Adam must relive her confession over and over again. There’s only one solution to ending the misery: breaking the time loop. Easier said than done. And there’s another hurdle to overcome: Carly and Adam can’t stand each other. Though strangers at best, Carly and Adam know they must work together to solve this cosmic mystery. But where Carly offers magical theories, Adam relies on facts and figures. When Carly wants to involve the local conspiracy theorist, Adam would rather work alone. The sooner they find a solution, the sooner they’ll never have to see each other again, yet somehow the tension between the two is hotter than a solar flare and as rare as the daily total solar eclipse. Maybe Carly and Adam are destined to be in each other’s orbit after all…FOR FANS OF:Enemies to loversA literal roll in the hayA magical time loopSmall town vibesOpen-door spiceDual POV

Lee


One stolen chair. One ancient egg. One night that changed everything. I never expected a stolen chair to change my destiny. But there she was—a pint-sized firecracker with curves that made my wolf howl, claiming my favorite seat at the bar. I should've walked away. Instead, I found myself rescuing her from trouble, then agreeing to help her retrieve some ancient egg that practically hummed with supernatural energy. We raced against time through a city teeming with shadowy creatures, and I couldn't tell if the electricity in the air was from the egg's magic or the way Natalie's touch set my skin ablaze. My wolf was restless, sensing something bigger at play. Every choice we made sent ripples through the supernatural world, and I started to think this wasn't just chance. One thing was certain—this wasn't the quiet night I planned, but it might have been exactly what I needed. Get ready for a steamy paranormal romance filled with danger, destiny, and undeniable chemistry. ___________________________________________________________________Praise for the Shifter Days, Vampire Nights & Demons in Between series:? Fun and exciting. ? I can't wait for more. ? So much fun diving into this. ? These two brought the heat. ? This one had it all.
