All for Show by Terra Weiss 0 (0)

Co-stars. Fake lovers. Real enemies.

I’ve landed my dream debut role on the TV crime series, Urban Dawn, but my sexy co-star and on-screen beau, Maddox Winter, barely knows I exist. He’s too busy with his gold-digging arm candy—usually D-listers trying to make it in Y’allywood, Atlanta’s hot cinematic scene.

I’m thrilled to see my name, Riley Glenn, at the top of the credits…even if the media has launched a smear campaign against me.

When an accidental naked entanglement lands Maddox and me on the cover of Love Buzz, the news spreads like norovirus on a cruise ship. With ratings skyrocketing, our director casts us into a faux relationship, and my wackadoodle godmother steps in to help out.

In the midst of it all, I’m grieving the loss of my grams. While sprinkling her ashes in Scotland, I experience a new Maddox who brews my coffee and carries me through a field of cow pies. Oddly, our pretend relationship feels like the only real thing in our lives.

But when our secret drops, it could be the end of our act, on and off screen.

Book cover: Eat Slay Love by Kenya Wright

Um, not on my solo date bingo card?
Having it crashed by a stupid-hot French guy with a hungry stare, zero filter, and a huge…secret.

By day, I’m a sought-after intimacy coordinator for film and TV. By night? Bzzzz—followed by crickets as I fall asleep alone.

But as I keep on telling myself…

You are worthy. You are deserving. You are amazing.

So this year, I’m cashing in my vacation days to splurge on a $5,000-a-plate solo date at New York’s most exclusive restaurant. No plus-one required.

But then I meet him.

Uninvited. Unapologetic. Unreasonably attractive.

“Can you keep a secret?” he asks me in the sexiest French accent.

I can. But the way he’s looking at me instead of his plate has me wondering: Was this supposed to be a table for one… or am I the next course on his menu?

A Match Made in Hell

The Griffins and the Gallos have been battling for control of Chicago’s underworld for generations.

Their bitter rivalry reignites when Aida, the youngest and wildest Gallo sibling, crashes a party at the Griffin mansion, accidentally setting fire to the library.

To stave off all-out war, her father arranges a marriage with Callum Griffin, eldest son and heir.

Cold, ambitious, and brutal, Callum is determined to tame his headstrong bride. Aida is more than capable of giving as good as she gets – starting with poisoning Callum on their wedding night.

In their struggle for dominance, who will break first?

The Lark Notes:
Aida is my spirit animal. She’s wild, passionate, and outrageous. Callum is the only man who can tame her. These two start out trying to rip each other apart. Soon they can only rip each other’s clothes off. I love this story because it launches the saga of the Griffins and the Gallos, and because it has so much humor and heart mixed in with the danger and adventure. – Sophie

Discovering Nicola by Clare Ashton 0 (0)

Book Description

Sparks fly between Nicola Albright KC and Geeta Sachdeva, but not the good kind. They’re the sort that leave small fires, devastation, and everyone peeping between their fingers at arrogant lawyer, Nicola, on one side, and everyone’s favourite mum, Geeta, on the other.

Yet when both are divorced and at a new stage in life, they find themselves living within glowering distance of each other, in beautiful Iffley Village, Oxford. Reluctantly they call a truce and try to make friends. It’s tricky though, when there’s more than one reason they’ve circled and snapped for years.

For a start, Geeta’s lawyer daughter, Olivia, idolises the eminent King’s Counsel barrister, to eye rolls from Geeta. And to Nicola’s annoyance, her own daughter, Charlotte, has always turned to perfect mama Geeta for comfort and understanding. Animosity between the two is a given.

Until they force themselves to be nice to each other, that is, and then they’re compelled to question everything…

READ IT NOW!

National Bestseller

Olivia Dade bursts onto the scene in this delightfully fun romantic comedy set in the world of fanfiction, in which a devoted fan goes on an unexpected date with her celebrity crush, who’s secretly posting fanfiction of his own.

Marcus Caster-Rupp has a secret. The world may know him as Aeneas, star of the biggest show on television, but fanfiction readers call him something else: Book!AeneasWouldNever. Marcus gets out his frustrations with the show through anonymous stories about the internet’s favorite couple, Aeneas and Lavinia. But if anyone discovered his online persona, he’d be finished in Hollywood.

April Whittier has secrets of her own. A hardcore Lavinia fan, she’s long hidden her fanfic and cosplay hobbies from her “real life”—but not anymore. When she dares to post her latest costume creation on Twitter, her plus-size take goes viral. And when Marcus asks her out to spite her internet critics, truth officially becomes stranger than fanfiction.

On their date, Marcus quickly realizes he wants more from April than a one-time publicity stunt. But when he discovers she’s Unapologetic Lavinia Stan, his closest fandom friend, he has one more huge secret to keep from her.

With love and Marcus’s career on the line, can the two of them stop hiding once and for all, or will a match made in fandom end up prematurely cancelled?

Selfish by KuTura B. 0 (0)

Book Description

Sundae Monroe Banks was born into pain.

After losing her father and being handed over to the streets by her own mother, she learned early: love is dangerous, and emotions are a weakness she can’t afford.

While most girls her age are picking colleges and chasing dreams, Sundae’s out here chasing survival.
Now nineteen, cold-blooded, and wise beyond her years, she stacks money, uses men, and keeps her heart locked behind walls nobody can break through.
Trust is dead. Loyalty is strictly conditional.

But when people she thought were solid start switching sides—and the past she tried to bury claws its way back—Sundae is forced to confront the one person she’s been running from… herself.

Selfish is a raw, gritty urban fiction novel packed with betrayal, heartbreak, and survival.
If you love street lit, hood love stories, and Black coming-of-age tales with real emotion and shocking twists, Selfish is a must-read.

“Because love might heal…
But sometimes, being selfish is the only way to survive.”

Falling for a cowboy was never the plan. Let alone two.

I’m giving myself one last summer before I have to go back to the real world.

One last chance to say goodbye to the boys I left behind.

Colt is all easy charm and wicked smiles.

Maverick is a quiet storm and rough edges.

Together, they were once my entire world. Best friends, always tangled up in each other.

Until everything fell apart.

Now they ride bulls for a living and the bond between them is more complicated than ever.

Hands that hesitate, then stay. Eyes that don’t look away. That hot, aching tension begging to be broken.

It’s every frayed edge finding its match.

It’s finally having everything we were too afraid to dream of.

Not Colt. Not Maverick.

All three of us.

Together.

Groomsman to Groom by Terra Weiss 0 (0)

Book Description

Reality TV dating—the drama’s fake, but the heartbreak’s real.

Chosen to be the star of Groomsman to Groom, I have thirty women vying for my heart. Losing my wife three years ago shattered me, but I fought hard to rebuild my life for my son—my everything. Now, he’s nudging me to find love again.

I already found someone, though—Brielle Wilson. Brilliant, beautiful, and a total nerd like me. On our midnight beach walk eight months ago, we went three rounds over Captain Picard versus Spock, and she knows her stuff—a rare gem. That night, things got heated, fast, and she made me feel again, something I wasn’t sure I was capable of anymore.

But a family emergency pulled her away, and now, I’m playing the dating game in Atlanta’s high-stakes film scene, risking everything—my career, my relationship with my son—to find love on this wild show. Skye, my witty ex-stepmother and the host, guides me through staged drama and genuine feelings. Especially when Brielle shows up as a contestant.

Maybe she felt the connection I did? Maybe the connection I felt is gone?

I vowed to keep an open heart, but secrets won’t stay hidden for long. If someone finds out about our tryst, it could destroy everything—friendships, reputations, and any shot at real love.

*Groomsman to Groom is a witty, heartfelt stand-alone romcom with adult language and steamy, open-door chemistry that will have you rooting for a happily-ever-after.

Creative Differences by D. H. Renfroe 0 (0)

Book Description

Mackenzie Levi Smith is New York’s most in-demand celebrity photographer—booked, blessed, and (allegedly) blissfully single. With her sharp eye, sharper tongue, and a schedule packed tighter than a backstage fashion show, Mackenzie has no time for distractions. She’s laser-focused on building Divine Expressions, the photography studio she co-owns with her best friend Nina. Mackenzie’s work is raw, powerful, and deeply intentional. She captures not just beauty, but truth—and her clients line up for a chance to be seen through her lens. The last thing she needs? A brooding artist with a god complex and a chip on his shoulder.

Enter Jackson Porter—world-renowned painter, gallery heartthrob, and the textbook definition of “difficult genius.” With a paintbrush in one hand and his late mother’s artistic legacy on his back, Jackson has zero interest in photographers who treat art like marketing. When he’s paired with Mackenzie for the exclusive Visionaries exhibit, sparks fly—and not the romantic kind. They clash from the first moment: over lighting, composition, and whether photographers can even be called artists. Their creative differences? Explosive. Their banter? Biting. But the simmering tension? Oh, it’s undeniable.

As they’re forced into joint panels, late-night studio sessions, and surprise press appearances, their friction ignites into something far steamier than either of them anticipated. From charged arguments to impulsive kisses in gallery back rooms, Mackenzie and Jackson can’t seem to stay away from each other—or keep their hands to themselves. But under all the snark and stolen glances lies something deeper: shared grief, hidden fears, and an unspoken longing to be seen not just as artists, but as people.

As the exhibit deadline looms, so do their feelings. Jackson begins to paint Mackenzie not as a muse, but as a mirror—his equal, his match, his inspiration. Mackenzie, in turn, uses her camera to document their chaotic, tender journey. But just when they seem to be finding their rhythm, a ghost from Jackson’s past threatens to unravel everything, forcing Mackenzie to confront her own fears about trust and love. For two artists used to telling other people’s stories, facing their own truth might be the hardest thing they’ve ever done.

But when the gallery doors open and the world sees what they’ve created—side by side, in sync, in love—it becomes clear: the mess, the conflict, the creative tension between them wasn’t a barrier. It was the masterpiece.

What began as an assignment becomes a revelation. And in a world that often demands perfection, Mackenzie and Jackson learn that imperfection—raw, honest, vulnerable—is where the real magic lives.

Cue the sold-out show. Cue the final kiss. Cue two artists falling headfirst into love, legacy, and the beautiful chaos of creating something unforgettable—together.
