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, she’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

She’ll do anything to forget all he was to her. But one reckless plea will change everything for good… Marry me. Aster Carrington wasn’t sure she’d ever return to Starlight Grove—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 years…and 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 junkie—anything to outrun the shadows of his family’s violent legacy and the grief of losing the only girl he’s ever loved. But when Aster surges back into his life, the fire he’s fought to snuff out roars back to flame. Only this time, the danger isn’t just in his blood. It’s coming for her. As long-buried secrets surface and a killer’s obsession threatens to destroy everything they’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

❤️ 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐥 Night Shift by @matildamartel.aut ❤️ 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐥 Night Shift by @matildamartel.author releases August 25th! 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 Bay’s favorite supernatural coffeehouse. Between late-night customers, monster tourists, and barely making rent, she’s too busy surviving to notice there’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 she’s exhausted. And for the first time in eternity… 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 everyone—from Mayor Zadok Infernalis to the furious local witches—is desperate to fix Erebus’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 can’t compete with true love. 📕 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐥𝐥 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 ✔️Cozy Monster Romance ✔️Small Town Romance ✔️He Falls First ✔️Instalove ✔️Paranormal ❤️𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐨𝐰→ https://mybook.to/night-shift #instaloveinfluencers @instalove_influencers

Alexandria avoids me at every turn, pretending the diamond on her finger and the marriage license that makes her my wife never happened. Too bad I'm not a man who admits defeat.
