A sudden loss leaves her drowning in grief, and the one person who should be holding her hand through it all, keeps finding excuses to be anywhere else. But someone else has always been there, sheโ€™s just never opened her eyes to see it. The friend who was quietly relegated to the sidelines is suddenly the one showing up with tissues, staying through the sleepless nights, and helping her piece together a new life. When her life takes an unexpected twist, and Dylan's true colors finally show. Maddie finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about love. Because sometimes the person you're meant to be with isn't the one who promises you the world. It's the one who shows up when your world falls apart. Maddie realizes that maybe love isn't about the grand gestures. It's about the quiet moments with the man who will stay with you through it all, the good, the bad, and everything in between. Who shows up when you need him without you even asking. But opening her heart means facing her biggest fear, trusting again when grief has taught her that nothing lasts forever. Through the darkness of loss and betrayal, Maddie must learn that sometimes the best things come from the most broken places and that love can be the light that guides you home. #newbookalert #emmieelms #surprisepregnancyromance @theauthor.agency

Aster Carrington wasnโ€™t sure sheโ€™d ever return to Starlight Groveโ€”the town that broke her trust and destroyed everything she once believed in. But when her grandfather needed help on the ranch, the therapist known for helping others heal had no choice but to face the ghosts she had buried long ago. What she never expected was the man she once loved to be waiting in the shadows for all these yearsโ€ฆand that marrying him might be the only thing to keep her and her beloved ranch safe. Maverick Archer has built a life in the flames: smokejumper, firefighter, adrenaline junkieโ€”anything to outrun the shadows of his familyโ€™s violent legacy and the grief of losing the only girl heโ€™s ever loved. But when Aster surges back into his life, the fire heโ€™s fought to snuff out roars back to flame. Only this time, the danger isnโ€™t just in his blood. Itโ€™s coming for her. As long-buried secrets surface and a killerโ€™s obsession threatens to destroy everything theyโ€™ve rebuilt, Aster and Mav must decide if some scars are reminders of survival or warnings of a past that refuses to stay buried. #tropereveal #catherinecowles #smalltown #starlightgroveseries #romancebooks #beneathamidnightmoon

Erebus has existed since the beginning of time. Ancient. Powerful. Untouchable. As the living embodiment of Night itself, he has spent eternity ushering darkness across the world before surrendering the sky to Dawn each morning. Until one exhausted barista offers him a free scone. Calliope Craven works the closing shift at Ghoulish Grinds, Blackthorn Bayโ€™s favorite supernatural coffeehouse. Between late-night customers, monster tourists, and barely making rent, sheโ€™s too busy surviving to notice thereโ€™s something unusual about the quiet, handsome man who keeps appearing just before closing. But Erebus notices her. Her kindness. Her warmth. The way she smiles at strangers even when sheโ€™s exhausted. And for the first time in eternityโ€ฆ Night wants something for himself. What begins as innocent fascination quickly spirals into obsession. Erebus starts lingering outside the coffee shop, walking Calliope home from work, and stretching the nights longer just to spend more time near her. Then he stops letting the sun rise altogether. Now Blackthorn Bay is trapped in perpetual darkness, the town council is in chaos, and everyoneโ€”from Mayor Zadok Infernalis to the furious local witchesโ€”is desperate to fix Erebusโ€™s love life before the entire town loses its mind. Unfortunately, convincing an ancient cosmic entity to let go of the woman he loves may be impossible. Especially when Calliope is starting to fall for him too. Welcome back to Blackthorn Bay, where the coffee is enchanted, the monsters are lovesick, and even eternal darkness canโ€™t compete with true love. ๐Ÿ“• ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ'๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐‹๐จ๐ฏ๐ž โœ”๏ธCozy Monster Romance โœ”๏ธSmall Town Romance โœ”๏ธHe Falls First โœ”๏ธInstalove โœ”๏ธParanormal โค๏ธ๐๐ซ๐ž๐จ๐ซ๐๐ž๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ฐโ†’ https://mybook.to/night-shift #instaloveinfluencers @instalove_influencers
