Bartender Nate Hunter enjoys his small-town, no-strings-attached life in Whispering Pines. Then a dying ex-girlfriend tracks him down to tell him he has a daughter he never knew existed. Nate doesn’t know the first thing about being a father, but one look at Autumn and he’s a goner, so he agrees to take care of her until her aunt returns at Christmas.

When Nate asks the town’s librarian, no-nonsense Maxine Abbott, to move in with him and help take care of Autumn, she agrees, but only if he’ll pretend to be her boyfriend and get her mother off her back. Their relationship of convenience works perfectly at first, until real feelings begin to invade their false romance. Then Autumn’s aunt shows up early, and everything changes.

Will Nate and Maxine’s budding love end in heartbreak before the last leaves fall?

Whispering Pines Sweet Small Town Romance, Book 1

Publisher: DFM Publishing

Release Date: April 29, 2020

Ten years after leaving home, the last thing Summer Thompson expects is to inherit her estranged father’s half-renovated mansion. And the last thing she wants is to face the memories of the night her brother died, fleeting as they may be. Now a San Francisco museum curator, she plans to stay east just long enough to settle the estate and get rid of the house. Until she finds it occupied by a hunky handyman who’s strangely reluctant to talk about his past.

Damian Knight has been hiding his mother and sister from a violent ex, and Whispering Pines is the one place they’ve found peace and safety. He keeps to himself. He tells no one about his past. Yet when the lonely, haunted Summer steals his heart, he finds himself opening up to her in ways he should never risk. Especially to a woman who’s planning to leave town after selling their refuge out from under them.

As their attraction grows, the past begins to catch up with them. Summer’s mounting flashbacks leave her confused and determined to uncover the truth about the night her brother died. But that truth will cross paths with the man Damian and his family have been avoiding for years.

Can new love help them defeat the pain of the past? Or are some scars too deep to ever heal?

If you love small towns, memorable characters, and swoon-worthy happy endings, then you’ll love this sweet romance by a USA Today best-selling author! (Note: this book was previously released as Summer’s Song. Revisions and updates accompany this new version!)

Release Blitz: Shelter for Jerrica by Deanndra Hall

Title: Shelter For Jerrica Author: Deanndra Hall Genre: Romantic Suspense Cover Designer: Buoni Amici Press, LLC Release Date: May 12, 2020 Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

At some moment in time, a firefighter’s character is tested. This is his moment.

Belittled by his family but respected by his team, Landon Fox has worked his way up in the Taylorsville Fire Department with only his fellow firefighters’ support. He’s got his share of regrets, but his biggest one was being unable to help his younger sister when she needed him the most. What happened to her was horrible, and he’s not willing to let even a drunk girl at a local bar meet that fate.

Even after putting herself through nursing school and finding her dream job in the local hospital’s emergency room, Jerrica Ligon’s got her own regrets to deal with. The mystery man with the sexy voice who rescues her from a dangerous situation of her own making is someone she desperately wants to meet. Turns out Landon, the man behind the voice, is far more than she ever dreamed.

One face to face meeting and neither can imagine a world without the other.

All the while, someone’s destroying their Kentucky town one fire at a time, killing anyone who gets in the way. Being able to identify a murderer most certainly guarantees you’ll be a casualty. Bodies start to fall until there’s only one more witness to go.

Jerrica.

For every first responder in a turn-out coat there’s that one fire, the one that defines who they are as a firefighter and a man. Landon’s about to have his defining moment, but this time, the cost may be too great to bear.

Release Blitz: Machiavellian (Gangsters of New York, Book 1) by Bella Di Corte

Title: Machiavellian (Gangsters of New York, Book 1) Author: Bella Di Corte Genre: Mafia Romance Release Date: May 8, 2020 C Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

Machiavellian is the first of three books set in the savage world of the Gangsters of New York series.

I hungered to be seen.

There were three things I knew about Capo Macchiavello: He was gorgeous. He was reclusive. He was considered one of New York’s most savage animals. And he wanted me as his wife. A simple arrangement – you do for me, I do for you. Nothing owed, no expectations. Except for one: never leave.

Life was never that simple, though. By the age of twenty-one, I was parentless, jobless, and homeless, and I had come to learn the hard way that nothing was ever free. Even kindness comes with strings. Capo might’ve been the only man to ever see me, but I had made a vow to myself: I would never owe anyone anything. Most of all, the man I called boss.

I killed to stay hidden.

Mariposa Flores thought she owed nothing to no one, but she owed everything…to me, the ghost the world had once called The Machiavellian Prince of New York.

Release Week and Giveaway: His Small-Town Girl by Lacy Williams

Sutter’s Hollow Book 1

Sweet Romance

Date Published: May 12, 2020

She’s sweet and wholesome. And hiding something.

He’s back home, resurrecting old ghosts.

One of them is going to get hurt.

Molly arrives in Sutter’s Hollow out of gas and out of options. The rundown ranch seems like a perfect place to hide. Except the man who owns it seems just as dangerous as what’s chasing her.

Cord’s mantra growing up? Get out of Sutter’s Hollow. Now he’s back in town, but only long enough to get rid of his grandma’s ball and chain—the ranch. He doesn’t need a complication like Molly, who reminds him of an injured baby bird. He’s no protector. So why can’t he tell her to get lost?

Excerpt

Molly strummed her guitar lightly, the squeak and pull of the strings familiar and comforting. 

But not enough to relax her to the point where she could close her eyes and sleep.

Nothing was these days.

She had her shoulder wedged against her driver’s side door, her body turned sideways, and one booted foot up on the seat. Counting the minutes until they turned into hours.

It wasn’t that late. Eight. Maybe eight-thirty. 

From where her truck had died in his drive, she’d seen the rancher’s truck—its headlights, rather—drive up behind the ranch house and then shut off. Lights had gone on inside the ranch house in a sort of pattern. Her imagination told her he’d stopped in the kitchen to wash up. Maybe feed the dog. He’d moved into the living room next. Watched a sitcom. No, a cop drama. A sitcom might make him smile, and that wouldn’t do.

The living room light had gone off, too, and then an upstairs light had gone on. 

Lots of nightlife for the rancher. Cord.

She let her head loll back against the seat, her fingers going lax on the frets so the next strum was a jangle of wrong notes.

It was going to be a long night.

Her thoughts began to unravel. Her breathing sped up as her anxiety spiked.

No.

She was safe here.

No one knew where she was. No one except the rancher.

She was parked plenty far back from the road. If anyone turned in the drive, she’d see them. She’d have time to react.

There were two empty fields on either side of her truck. Grass as far as the eye could see. No one could sneak up on her here.

She could worry about her future tomorrow. Figure out what to do about the dwindling loaf of bread and jar of peanut butter she’d been rationing for days.

She jumped when a flash of light came through the windshield. It glared right in her eyes, temporarily blinding her.

She scrambled to get the guitar out of the way. It echoed discordant notes as it hit the dash. She’d picked up a small canister of pepper spray at a gas station a hundred miles ago. Where had she put it—?

The light was gone, and she blinked against the hazy afterimages burned into her vision.

It was the rancher. His shoulders filled the driver’s side window, and he tapped the butt of his flashlight on the glass.

She took her sweet time rolling it down—the hand crank helped with that—using the moments to try to slow her frantic breathing. 

“What’re you doing out here?” 

His voice was harsh and demanding. And somehow comforting. He’d been gruff and dismissive earlier. She’d trusted him. Maybe that was stupid.

“You can’t stay here,” he said.

“I can’t leave.” She tapped the steering wheel. “This puppy is dead.”

Skepticism was written all over his face.

“You want me to prove it?” She gave the key a twist. Nothing happened. Not even a click.

His expression didn’t change from the frown he’d appeared with. “Call a tow truck.”

He had to be kidding. A tow from the little town she’d passed would be expensive.

“Who’s gonna come all the way out here tonight?” she asked. “Plus, I’m dead broke.”

“Well, you can’t stay out here.” Was that her imagination, or was there a little bit of the same desperation she felt leaking out of the man. 

“It’s fifteen miles to Sutter’s Hollow,” she said. “You want me to walk? In the dark?” 

“What about your family?”

“Don’t have any.” It wasn’t a lie. She didn’t have any family that would help her.

Even in the dim light from the flashlight, she could see a muscle jumping in his cheek. He ducked his head and mumbled something too low for her to make out.

“Get out of the truck.” 

She bristled at this order. She wasn’t walking down those winding dirt roads in the dark.

“You’re not sleeping in your truck. You can stay the night. Tomorrow morning, I’ll drive you to town. You’re on your own from there. And you better figure out a way to get your truck off my land.”

“Really?” She grabbed her backpack and guitar from the passenger floorboard and then juggled both on her lap as she rolled up the crank window. The door made an awful metal creak when she moved to hop out. She caught the cowboy’s wince in the dim light from his flashlight.

“That truck is older than you are.”

“I know. Ain’t it great?” She tried to cover up her nerves by giving the hood an affectionate pat as she shifted her backpack onto her shoulder. Maybe he wouldn’t see how white her knuckles were as she clutched her guitar. “She was my mom’s. Back before I was born.”

He mumbled something else. Maybe he had a mumbling problem. Or maybe he just didn’t like her.

“Just because something is old or needs work doesn’t mean you give up on it,” she said.

He sent her a sideways glare but didn’t say anything else. She followed him toward the sad old farmhouse, careful to keep a good yard between them.

From the porch, his farm dog wagged its tail.

Seeing it helped settle the nervous energy jangling through her. Animals were a true judge of character. The farm dog was lean but groomed. It’s teeth were good. And it was friendly. 

Maybe she couldn’t trust herself to judge a man’s character, but she’d grown up on a ranch. She could trust the dog. It wasn’t as if she was going to sleep a wink anyway. Might as well be warm inside instead of freezing in her truck.

The Vigilant Book 2

Urban Fantasy/YA

Date Published: May 1st, 2020

Publisher: Phenomenal One Press

Dexter didn’t like being a pawn. It seems life was taking him there though. His father and he never saw eye to eye, but being captured and tortured for his father’s mistakes gave Dexter too much to think about. First, the girl he lost, he’d never forget what they did to her. It changed him, and made him see the small city his father moved him to for what is was, a prison for magicals, the damned, and now him. Too bad, the creator of the void didn’t realize they would be better off if they’d set him free, because now, he was fighting for his life, and someone he’d have to hide his feelings from to protect, not just from those that want to drag them back, but from him -a vigilant.

Excerpt

“Do you want to escape here? I can help you.” Dex wanted out of this place.

 Nash smiled, “Yes, but now is not the time. We have to wait for her to hatch. I need her for a successful escape. It’s why I implanted a song in the guard’s mind to put her with me.”

 “You manipulated my friend Trey?” Dex wiped a hand down his face. This guy Nash was dangerous. Dex could feel it, only now, Dex felt it was time to stop trying to be the nice guy. He would survive. Finding a way to say his family would start with getting out of here, even if making a deal with this little devil would do it.

 Nash lifted an eyebrow, “I hummed him a tune.”

 “Whatever. You want my help getting out of here? I’m offering as long as we go our separate ways.”

 “I will take your willing help.” Nash cocked his head to the side, “Although, if I wanted it, I could make you give it, you know.”

 Dex crossed his arms over his chest, “Isn’t a free give better?”

 “Oh it is. What will you give me for helping you get free?”

 Dex frowned, “Give you? I got nothing.”

 “Everyone has…something.”

 “What are you? I like to know what kind of creature I’m bargaining with.” Dex didn’t want to give this imp anything.

 “I am many things, yet in part, not a human like you.”

Dex caught a hint of regret in his tone. Dex could swear Nash had a hungry gleam in his eye. Trey had warned him that Nash was pied piper and Rumpelstiltskin. Dex knew the pied piper had something to do with music. He had no idea what a Rumpelstiltskin was, and he had a feeling he shouldn’t mention it to Nash.

 “You need to tell me specifically what you want before I can agree to anything.”

 One side of Nash’s lip kicked up. “Her. The pixie-human. Give me her.”

 Dex frowned, then scratched his head. Why would Nash ask him to give up the pixie-human? The girl wasn’t his to give, he didn’t even know what it looked like.

 “Not mine to give.”

 Nash shrugged, “Then I won’t help either of you.”
