Release Blitz: Neighborhood Watch by Britney King

Thursday, January 29, 2026

I'm hosting a promo, today, on Britney King's latest release, Neighborhood Watch, as a part of the ongoing release blitz tour. Check it out!
 
 
Neighborhood Watch
Britney King
Published: January 29, 2026
 
From bestselling author Britney King comes a razor-sharp psychological thriller about a street built on secrets, a neighbor who knows too much, and the woman who learns—too late—that the most dangerous lies are the ones everyone else is willing to believe.
“You’d be surprised how easy it is to disappear someone.”
That’s what Clint says. Always with a smile. Always like a joke.
But Nora knows better—jokes don’t leave bodies.
Nora Givens runs the salon where the cul-de-sac comes to confess. She knows who’s day-drinking, whose marriage is composting under the patio lights, and which neighbors wield kindness like a weapon. What she doesn’t know is why things on her street suddenly feel wrong.
A break-in with no motive.
A Peeping Tom no one can describe.
A woman who never makes it home.
The neighborhood responds the way they always do—with performative concern. Meetings. Patrols. A nonstop group chat. And Clint, the charming new arrival, is suddenly everywhere: taking notes, volunteering, appearing even before the sirens.
Everyone adores him.
Everyone trusts him.
Everyone but Nora.
When her police statement disappears, her dog vanishes, and her tire fails in a place she’d never survive a crash, the cul-de-sac decides she’s the problem—another “overwhelmed woman” who should calm down and stop making waves.
But Clint keeps offering help.
The kind that looks generous to everyone else—
and strategic to her.
As Nora closes in on the truth, she realizes the quiet horror of suburbia:
Some neighbors want to keep you safe.
Others want to keep you quiet.
And on this street, the simplest way to disappear someone…
is to make sure no one believes her first.
Dark, addictive, and knife-edged, Neighborhood Watch delivers jaw-dropping twists, a psychological chess match in plain sight, and a villain hiding where you least expect him. Perfect for readers who want a thriller that gets under your skin and stays there.

In Another Life
Candice Wright
(Raven Souls MC #5)
Published: January 29, 2026
 
I’ve always loved Delphi, but she only ever had eyes for Snake. 
I watched her marry my club brother, burying my feelings deep, knowing they had that once-in-a-lifetime kind of love most people only read about.
Until the man she married turned on the MC he swore to protect.
Raven Souls don’t suffer fools lightly, so we took our pound of flesh from the traitor and burned Delphi’s world to ash.
Years pass, but my love for the woman I’m supposed to hate never faded.
When Delphi returns, like an avenging angel, sacrificing herself for one of our own and almost losing her life in the process, I know this is it—my one chance to make things right.
I don’t care that she hates me almost as much as she hates the club or that she’ll fight the attraction that crackles between us every step of the way; nothing will stop me from making Delphi mine.
But as the lies coloring her past slowly fall away, secrets are revealed, secrets so horrific they could tear my club apart.
And the truth will make monsters out of all of us.

Release Blitz: Hot for Mr. Moneybags by Whitley Cox

Sunday, December 21, 2025

I'm hosting, today, a promo on Whitley Cox's latest release, Hot for Mr. Moneybags (The Single Moms of San Camanez: The Vino Vixens #3), as a part of the ongoing release blitz tour. Check it out! Also find a long excerpt from the featured book in the following post.
 
Hot for Mr. Moneybags
Whitley Cox
(The Single Moms of San Camanez: The Vino Vixens #3)
Published: December 20, 2025
  
A quiet man. A cautious heart. A love that refuses to stay silent.
Because sometimes, healing feels like falling—and falling feels like home.


Welcome to San Camanez, a humble, peaceful little island in the Puget Sound and home to the Vino Vixens. Four cousins—and single moms—who run a vineyard, love the wine they sell, raise their kids together, and still hold out hope that not all men are like the ones they married. This is Danica’s story …


Tommaso

I came to San Camanez to keep a promise to my late wife—to turn our land into a sanctuary for the lost and forgotten. The animals give me purpose; the silence keeps me steady.
Then Danica Ross and her daughter arrive, and my carefully contained world begins to shift. She’s gentle but strong, scarred but unbroken. And when her little girl’s laughter fills the barn, I start to remember what hope sounds like.
But when my wife’s cousin threatens to take the farm, I realize I could lose everything—again. This time, though, I’m not sure I can go back to being alone.

Danica

After escaping a cruel marriage, I built a quiet life for my daughter and me—safe, small, predictable. Love wasn’t part of the plan.
Then Tommaso Barone walks into our quiet, kind, infuriatingly patient. He makes me believe in trust again. In laughter. In warmth.
When his sanctuary—and our fragile new bond—are threatened, I have to decide if I’ll run like I always have… or fight for the man who’s teaching me that love doesn’t always hurt.

Set against the windswept shores of San Camanez, this tender, slow-burn romance celebrates second chances, quiet strength, and the kind of love that heals what life once broke.

“Whitley has done an amazing job with this plot. It shows how with the right help you can overcome most anything, but also it has the right balance of humor. So all around it was quite an uplifting read. Characters that you can help feeling the sorrow and happiness and great chemistry.” - kazza1957 ~ 5-star Bookbub Review

“What a great story this was! I loved the connection and chemistry between Tom and Danica, a little slow burn with explosive steam once they get there. Some funny family moments, a few bullies and a little bit of drama round out this unputdownable book.” ~ Ann Gibbs, 5-star Bookbub Review

A Gingerbread Christmas
Mary Oldham
Published: November 28, 2025
 
Liza Morgan works for one of New York’s most elite, high-strung wedding planners. Her career is on the line when a celebrity client, a notoriously demanding Hollywood star scraps her lavish Valentine’s Day plans and demands a spectacular, one-of-a-kind Christmas wedding that looks like the North Pole.

Liza’s only hope is to return to her charming hometown, Silver Falls, utilizing the colossal, life-sized gingerbread house built every year by The World Famous Swete Gingerbread Factory.

But returning to Silver Falls means facing the past she ran from—specifically, Stephen Swete, her high school sweetheart. Stephen, now a widower and single father of two, runs the factory and is the only person who can grant permission for the wedding. Liza hasn’t seen him in years and knows she is about to put him “in the center of her crosshairs”.

Can Liza manage a celebrity Christmas wedding in a literal gingerbread house while navigating the complicated feelings for the man she never forgot?
