A Curious Affair: A Talking Cat Romantic Mystery (The Curious Series Book 1)

About A Curious Affair: A Talking Cat Romantic Mystery (The Curious Series Book 1)

Like a Thunderbolt!

Recent widow Jillian Marsh wasn’t planning on killing herself that March night, but she hadn’t ruled it out, either. It had rained for the last seventeen days — days in which her jaw was locked and she was unable to speak, supposing there’d been anyone worth addressing. And then there was her cat problem. Ever since she’d been hit by lightning last October, the cats in town had been talking to her. Which meant she was insane, right?

Melanie Jackson writes “a curious combination of dark fantasy and romance leavened with quirky humor.”
—Booklist on Still Life

But that night something changed. The cat Atherton appeared with something very interesting to say, about an odd accident that had occurred up the hill. And since Jillian could hardly go to the town’s new lawman, who’d been trained in LA and was new to this Sierra town, with a feline eyewitness, it was up to her to find out if there was indeed trouble afoot — or if this conspiracy and her newfound and unwanted attraction to Sheriff Murphy were all part of an endless hallucination.

Cuffing His Bride by Cassi Hart

About Cuffing His Bride by Cassi Hart

Amelia

I’m having the worst day ever. My fiancé, a guy I didn’t even like to begin with, has left me at the altar. The only reason I was marrying him was to secure a trust fund from my late grandfather, and now he’s completely ruined my plans. Of course, I probably could have reacted better; assault and destruction of property are ill-advised, even on the worst of days. Now I’m being dragged away from my own wedding in the arms of the biggest, nicest-smelling cop I’ve ever met. I’m totally screwed. How am I going to buy my mom’s flower shop back now?

Hunter

I’ve been on the force long enough to think I’ve seen it all, but some things still manage to surprise me. When I got the call about an altercation happening at the church down the street, I was expecting a real bride-zilla. Instead, I end up with Amelia, and she takes my breath away. I can’t help relishing how she feels against me as I drag her off her fiancé. I don’t know what’s going on, but I know she’s too good for a man like him. How did she end up with a jackass like him?

The Billionaire’s Assistant

About The Billionaire’s Assistant

When the hottest one-night stand of my life turns out to be my new billionaire boss, I don’t think I can ever live it down.

And to make matters worse, he’s pretending not to know who I am—and seems hell bent on making my life a living hell.

On the eve of her first day at her new job, Olivia Reilly makes the worst mistake of her life. She goes home with the absolute hottest man she’s ever met—only to learn the next day that her one-night stand is her new boss, Asher King, CEO of King Technologies.

Unlike their passionate encounter, Asher is cold and stern, but Olivia can’t quit. She desperately needs the money. Her childhood home, the only thing left connecting her to her late family, hangs on a precarious financial cliff. And unfortunately, not even this new job is enough to save it.

Desperate to save the thing she cares most about in this world, Olivia takes on a new side job. Something a bit unorthodox but incredibly lucrative. Close enough to sex work to make bank, but far enough away for Olivia to keep her dignity.

There’s only one problem. A patron at the club seems overly interested in Olivia. And when creepy notes and an attempted kidnapping cement that Olivia has a stalker on her hands, she doesn’t know where to turn.

When Asher notices bruises from an encounter with her stalker, he is livid and demands to know what happened. But Olivia is wary to trust and running out of time. Can her new boss—the coldest man she’s ever met, but with whom she spent a night of utter ecstasy—be trusted to help her get out of this dangerous situation?

And can Asher King, who has always kept women at arm’s length, finally learn to love?

A sizzling romance, and the first in the Billionaire Brothers series, this book is as hot as they come.

I Forgot Me

About I Forgot Me

“I Forgot Me” by Cecilia Okugo is a compelling exploration of self-discovery and personal transformation. The book begins with the protagonist, Umay, grappling with a profound sense of lost identity as she gazes into the mirror, seeing a stranger instead of herself. The narrative delves into Umay’s journey through various relationships where she constantly adapted to meet the expectations of her partners, ultimately losing sight of her own passions and desires. The book intricately portrays how Umay’s endless giving and self-sacrifice in love left her feeling empty and disconnected from her true self.

As Umay’s story unfolds, the reader witnesses her gradual realization of the importance of self-worth and boundaries. Through chapters like “The Chameleon Effect” and “Emotional Rollercoaster: Giving Without Receiving,” Okugo vividly illustrates the emotional toll of Umay’s self-erasure and the resultant burnout from unreciprocated love. The narrative is set against the vibrant backdrop of modern-day Istanbul, providing a rich cultural context to Umay’s experiences. Her transformations to fit the molds of different partners—whether as a corporate maven, a muse, or an academic—underscore the destructive nature of losing oneself to others’ expectations.

The turning point in Umay’s journey is marked by her conscious effort to reclaim her identity. “I Forgot Me” highlights the steps Umay takes towards self-rediscovery, such as revisiting her artistic passions, engaging in intellectual pursuits for her own fulfillment, and setting firm boundaries. The book emphasizes the importance of balance in relationships, where giving should not lead to self-depletion but instead foster mutual growth and support. Cecilia Okugo’s narrative is both a cautionary tale and a beacon of hope, encouraging readers to maintain their authenticity and prioritize self-care amidst the complexities of love and relationships.

The Maiden of the Woods

About The Maiden of the Woods

he has yearned for brother’s closest friend from afar, but he’s never even bothered to look her way . . .
Kiera’s father and his future as a warrior in the Caledonii tribe was destroyed by the Romans. Now all he does is lash out in anger at those nearest to him.

Will his anger drive Cormac away from Kiera and ruin their hope for happiness?

The Romans have taken so much from her Caledonii clan, Kiera’s family included. Years ago, her father Seamus fought a band of Roman soldiers, sustained a dire injury, and has not been the same since. He is enraged over losing his position as a warrior in the tribe and he takes that anger out on anyone who dares to approach him.

Kiera does all she can to avoid her father’s wrath, but her interest in her brother’s friend, Cormac, has been steadily rising. Even if she did show her interest in him, she could never act on her desires because of his apparent hatred toward her and her father, who sees Cormac as the walking embodiment of everything her father lost.

The reason for Seamus’s anger? Cormac, too, was injured by the Romans. Only his wound healed and he remained a powerful Caledonii warrior. A tall, dark warrior who catches Kiera’s eye more than once.

When Kiera finds herself surrounded by Romans outside the gates of their village, it is Cormac who comes to her rescue, and Cormac who helps her find shelter when they are caught in the storm.

And it is Cormac who creates a storm of desire in Kiera. So she is shocked when she learns that his angry visage was a guise, and he has desired her as well.

Despite it all, they act on those desires.

But her family, especially her father, is an obstacle in their finding happiness together. Will Cormac and Kiera find the love they have been searching for? Or will her father’s rage tear them apart?
