Finn
One wild night of unbridled passion, and now I want more. Yeah, I can’t stop thinking about
Sammie Monroe. Only problem is, she won’t give me the time of day.
I don’t know why. We get along great, and hey, I’m a good-looking guy. Not to mention, I’m a professional hockey player for the Atlanta Thunder. None of that seems to matter to her, though.
But that night! How can she just dismiss something so amazing?
Really, what is her deal?
She can at least be my friend, right?

Finn Norath is the man of my dreams. He’s hot, sexy, and a star hockey player. Oh, and the night we spent together was perfection.
Too bad it has to end there.
My heart is screaming to give him a chance. But I can’t. I don’t deserve happiness. I’ve known that for a long time now. I have a dark secret, and if Finn knew, he wouldn’t want me anyway. No one would.
But now Finn wants to be “just friends.”
Ha! This should be interesting.

Finn is the fourth novel in the bestselling Breakaway Hockey series.

BOOK BLITZ w/EXCERPT - THRILLER - A LITTLE GETAWAY by Bonnie Traymore

A Little Getaway
by Bonnie Traymore
Publication date: October 9th 2024
Genres: Adult, Suspense, Thriller




BLURB

“Traymore’s page-turner is a tension-filled psychological thriller, where the line between friend and foe is razor thin.” Tracey Devlin, USA TODAY bestselling author

A little getaway takes a deadly turn for Morgan and Kyle Murphy in this spicy suspense thriller about a marriage filled with passion, dark secrets, and suspicions.

Morgan Murphy has always longed for a romance for the ages. And she’s found it with the love of her life, husband Kyle Murphy—until their spicy marriage suddenly starts to cool off.

Is Kyle preoccupied and distant because of a problem with his development project? Or is it something worse? Could Kyle Murphy be…cheating? He’s hiding something, that’s for sure. And Morgan’s determined to find out what it is.

With the help of gal pal Carla Flores, Morgan tracks her husband’s movements, and the signs increasingly point to infidelity, the ultimate sin in Morgan’s book. When Kyle increases their life insurance and surprises her with a weekend getaway to get their mojo back, she goes on the offensive and hatches a plan to make him come clean about what’s been going on.

But before she can pull it off, Morgan’s attacked and nearly kidnapped, and Kyle vanishes from the resort without a trace. With no clue as to who took Kyle or why, she’s not sure who is the biggest threat: the shady investor he owes money to, the police, or the guys she hired to teach Kyle a lesson. With the clock ticking, she needs to find out soon.

Before they come for her, too.

EXCERPT:

Morgan

I smell death in the air. A briny scent with an undercurrent of decay, wafting in from the murky sea outside our sliding glass door.

“Kyle?” I call out again.

Nothing.

Maybe he went for a walk on the beach?

But that wasn’t the plan.

Something’s not right.

I close the door and lock it.

Where did he go?

A log pops in the fireplace, and I startle. This was supposed to be a romantic little getaway, but so far, things have been tense.

“I have a surprise for you, Morgan,” he said, about a week ago.

So here I am, in this little cottage on the beach that he picked for us, in the middle of nowhere, a few miles north of Monterey Bay. A chance to rekindle our marriage. Put some spark back into it. The resort, if you could call it that, is a series of separate units on a vast swath of beachfront land, one step up from a trailer park. I suppose it could be romantic under different circumstances, with the rugged beach outside our door and a cozy fire inside.

I have a bad feeling, though. I came out of the shower and saw a few drops of blood in the bathroom sink. I figured he’d cut himself shaving. And now he’s nowhere to be found. A chill runs up my spine. This place is getting creepier by the minute. Do I wait here like a sitting duck?

The office is on the other side of the property, and I’m not sure if anyone’s there at this hour of the night. It’s not that late. Just after nine in the evening. But even when we checked in, around noon, it took a good twenty minutes for the woman to come to the front desk and help us.

I don’t want to overreact, so I decide I’ll take the car and drive to the store.

Better safe than sorry.

We talked about the fact that I needed milk for my morning coffee. It’ll buy me some time, and when I get back, maybe he’ll be here, wondering where I’ve been. And if it turns out to be nothing, I can keep this little freak out to myself.

But we took his car, so I have to find the keys. I rush into the bedroom and look around. I thought I saw them on the dresser, but they’re not there.

His pants are draped over the back of a chair.

I check the pockets.

Nothing.

My heart starts to race.

I rifle through his carry-on bag.

No luck.

His cell is gone, along with his wallet. I wonder if he went out for provisions while I was in the shower? But the car is parked near the office, a few cottages away, so I can’t see if he’s taken it. I pick up the house phone and call the front desk, thinking maybe the attendant could check if the car is there. It rings and rings and nobody answers.

My heart races even faster. Rushing into the kitchen area, I survey the options. I grab the utility knife. With its five-inch blade, it’s the best option. This is a risky move. I’ll look like a psycho walking around with it if someone sees me, and the last thing I want is to call attention to myself. But the place seems deserted, so it’s unlikely I’ll be spotted.

Who comes to a beach resort in the middle of winter?

This was his idea, I remind myself.

And now I’m here.

Alone.

At a deserted resort.

Clenching the knife in my fist, I step out the sliding glass door and start making my way to the front office.

RELEASE BLITZ - CONTEMPORARY - SCARLETT'S HERO (Heroes of Sleepy Hollow) by Gia Cobie


Scarlett's Hero
Heroes of Sleepy Hollow
Gia Cobie 
Release Date: October 15th 2024 
Genre: Romantic Suspense 

I spent years living in fear because of my own mistake. 

Living in self-imposed isolation, I suffered through years of guilt and fear and anxiety. 

But I couldn’t keep hiding indefinitely. So I moved to Sleepy Hollow to be closer to my best friend and her family. 

Despite my worries, it was better than I’d hoped. I found a cute little house. Friends. A job I loved. 

And I met Grant. We’re just friends—I have too much baggage for more—but seeing him is my favorite part of the week. 

But when my ordinary job turns into a nightmare, Grant’s the one I want to protect me. And it’s only when I’m in his arms that I feel safe. 

Neither of us were looking for a relationship. 

It seemed better that way. Safer. Even if Scarlett was the kindest and most beautiful woman I’d ever met. 

Deep down, I think I always knew I wanted more. But I thought we’d have time to ease into it. 

Then Scarlett’s attacked while defending her patient, and everything is thrown into stark clarity. 

Why am I ignoring what my heart is telling me? Am I going to let the ghosts of my past determine my future? 

When it turns out the attack wasn’t random, that Scarlett was targeted and she’s still in danger, I’ll use everything I learned as a SEALto protect her. 

I’m not willing to lose the first woman I’ve seen a forever with.

Scarlett’s Hero is the fourth novel in the small-town romantic suspense series, Heroes of Sleepy Hollow. It has a former SEAL turned firefighter hero, a kind but emotionally wounded heroine, friends-to-lovers, action and danger, forced proximity, twists and turns, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. (Can be read as a standalone novel.)

Heroes of Sleepy Hollow follows the stories of the first responders of Sleepy Hollow working alongside the Blade and Arrow Security team. Expect to see cameos of your favorite B&A characters throughout this series!
