Freya Hatfield knows one thing for certain—to never, ever get tangled up with a man like Deacon Ryder.

Growing up surrounded by her harsh stepfather, Aiden Hatfield, and his sons, she vowed to not to repeat the same cycle as her mother.

But after leaving her home in the Appalachian Mountains to move to rural Montana, six months later she finds herself the obsession of their neighbor—a much older, rough, tattooed rancher with a dark past and a willingness to do what it takes to get what he wants.

He’s everything she swore she’d never accept.

But all it takes is one fateful meeting on a stormy night, and she can’t stop coming back to him.

When circumstances pit Aiden and Deacon against each other, Freya quickly becomes a bargaining chip in a harsh dispute.

And as Freya gives into Deacon’s obsession, they both find something so much darker than they expected.

And something sweet enough to fight for.

New Release | Merit (Treasure State Wildcats #4) by Devney Perry

 MERIT by Devney Perry

 

The world loves Maverick Houston. Me? I’ve hated him since we were ten.

It’s not exactly easy to escape your childhood nemesis when your parents are best friends who live on the same block. Through countless vacations, parties and holidays, Maverick and I have spent the past decade trading insults.

Until that family dinner when his mother tells us she’s dying. When she asks us to forget the past and start fresh. That’s how I found myself on a date with the Treasure State Wildcats football star. The campus playboy. The boy I kissed when I was three. The man who is the bane of my existence.

He’s arrogant. He’s blunt. He’s too handsome for his own good. But if he has a single, redeeming merit, the guy sure does love his mom. And that’s why I started fake dating Maverick Houston. That’s why I made him a proposition of my own. That’s how this sham of a relationship ruined my life.

The world loves Maverick Houston. Me? I hate that he made me love him too.

MERIT is free to read in Kindle Unlimited. For my audiobook fans, Megan Wicks and Robert Hatchet narrate this one, and they are incredible!!

 My Review | 5 stars

 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

New small town, new characters, new mystery, but mixed with everything I love in a Catherine Cowles book! Murder, lovable characters and addictive storytelling! 

I could not get enough of Chaos and her Lawman! 

Ridley and Colt had my attention the whole book! They are grumpy/sunshine to the max. Their banter was some of my favorite Catherine has written. 

Both have suffered heartache and are guarded. But they quickly realize that learning to trust one another could heal their pasts and find justice for the ones they love. 

So many twists and turns came with this book. And I was very surprised by the twist in this one, Catherine Cowles you keep me guessing every book and I LOVE it!

Thank you for the ARC!

Narrator Reveal | The Moon & His Tides by Giana Darling

Giana Darling has revealed the narrators for 

The Moon & His Tides 

Narrated by: Shane East, CJ Mission, Desireé Ketchum

Releasing: January 23, 2025

From Wall Street Journal best-selling author Giana Darling comes an MMF romance between an Italian chauffeur dreaming of stardom and the power couple who offer him the deal of a lifetime...

Everyone in Naples told me I was tall, dark, and handsome. An Italian with golden eyes made for fame on the silver screen, even when I was just the young patriarch of my broken, scattered family.

I may have beauty and talent, but opportunities are scarce in the theatre and film industry.

That is, until I become chauffeur to the lovely and glamorous Savannah Meyers, wife to one of the most revered actors in England.

She notices me…in more ways than one.

Before I can check my impulses, I find myself falling for Savannah and her promises.

Only, instead of enraging her husband, Adam Meyers, they approach me to make a very scandalous proposition.

Live with them as their lover, and they will make all of my wildest dreams come true.
