Playtime's Over
R.L. Mathewson
(Neighbor from Hell #15)
Published: January 23, 2026
 
Six years is a long time to wait for revenge…

From New York Times Bestselling Author R.L. Mathewson comes the next novel in the Neighbor from Hell series, filled with revenge, questionable choices, and a Bradford determined to make the one woman that he couldn’t live without fall in love with him.

Once upon a time, Kristen Haven was his best friend, his entire world, and the one woman Garrett Bradford couldn’t stop thinking about, but that all changed six years ago when a simple misunderstanding ruined everything, and now…

Now, he was really hoping that she was willing to overlook the fact that he’d made her life a living hell for the past six years. 

It was never going to happen.

Not after he’d told her to go to hell, and definitely not after he sent clowns to frolic in her front yard. Now that he knew the truth, Kristen was determined to forget about him and move on with her life, but there was just one problem with that plan…

She needed him.

Which meant that she had no choice but to give in to his demands, remind herself that she needed him whenever the urge to beat the hell out of him with whatever was within reach hit, and pretend that she wasn’t falling in love with the one man that she could never forgive.

A romantic comedy about second chances, revenge, questionable life choices, and one man determined to win back the only woman he’s ever loved…whether she likes it or not.

A Real Collusion
Stu Strumwasser
Published: April 1, 2026
 
A Real Collusion is about the secret conspiracy between the Republican and Democratic parties to control the US government through an illegal duopoly.

From the author of the bestselling novel, The Organ Broker, (hailed by Lee Child, New York Times # 1 bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series as, "Exciting and thought-provoking--the perfect package") comes, A Real Collusion, a stunning political thriller and expose.

A Real Collusion is a David Vs. Goliath(s) story about a man who accidentally becomes the leader of an independent political movement that nearly takes down the two-party system in America, while exposing a conspiracy that affects the results of the 2016 election. It explores universal and deeply human themes of loss, and the tension between justice and power. In the opening sentence the narrator points out that, “Ordinary people often do extraordinary things.” The characters in the book do, and the action is driven by the fantastic events of a unique political satire. It is also the heartfelt story of regular people struggling with lost love, alienation and nearly universal disaffection who find strength in enduring loyalty and friendship

This is the story of John Campbell (a regular guy from the lower east side of Manhattan) as recounted by his friend Skip Winters. Skip becomes John’s campaign manager and later, a congressman in his own right. He narrates the stunning-but-plausible story of how John Campbell and The American Coalition race to popularity, raising over a hundred million dollars from grassroots contributors—and become a threat to the political duopoly of the Democratic and Republican parties. The book sprinkles in references to real events from recent history, and real political leaders including Trump, John McCain, and more. This imbues the novel with a sense of realism, albeit one of an alternate reality. Skip discovers a deep-seated conspiracy within our political system whose leaders orchestrate a murder, destroy his friend and tip the scales of the election. The novel turns out to be Skip’s exposé of the secret collaboration between the two major political parties in our country—a cooperation to protect the duopoly that is, in part, real.

Fearless
K.E. Osborn
(Las Vegas Defiance MC #2)
Published: March 16, 2026
 
Three identities. One man. Zero truth.
As Vice President of Las Vegas Defiance MC, I’ve spent years keeping my worlds separate—the biker who protects his brothers, the Uber driver who craves normalcy, and the secret billionaire who resents his fortune. I’ve worked too damn hard to keep these identities from colliding.
 
Then she climbs into my backseat on the worst night of her life, mascara running, heart shattered by an asshole who never deserved her. Marley Wren. A voluptuous firecracker with red hair and vintage band tees, who tips me twenty dollars for restoring her faith in decent humans.
 
I should keep my distance. Stay in my lane and let her heal.
But she’s pure sunshine wrapped in curves I can’t stop thinking about, and when her ex publicly humiliates her, I offer the one thing I shouldn’t—a fake boyfriend to make him regret ever letting her go. One night at a gala, pretending we’re in love. Simple. Except nothing with Marley is simple.
 
One wrong move and I lose her trust.
One right move and I might lose myself to her instead.
Some lies are meant to protect. Some loves are worth the truth.
But with Marley, I’m risking it all.

 
From USA Today Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes the Las Vegas Defiance MC Series.
In the City of Sin, you’ll find secret billionaires, body-positive romance, and dangerous deceptions. With fake dating that becomes beautifully real, a protective biker with a hidden empire, and a love that defies the lies between them, trust becomes both the greatest challenge and ultimate salvation.
This is Book Two of the Las Vegas Defiance MC Series.

The Obscura Syndicate

Lira was meant to die for the throne.

Cassian Vale was trained to be the blade that ended her.

But the moment he hesitates—one heartbeat, one breath—everything forbidden ignites.

Now the deadliest man in the Syndicate is the only thing standing between Lira and a prophecy that demands her blood. He should fear her. He should kill her. Instead… he can’t stop wanting her.

She’s the girl marked for sacrifice.
He’s the weapon shaped to obey.

Together, they become the spark that threatens to burn Obscura to ashes.

As Lira’s power awakens and the throne tightens its grip, their desire becomes its own kind of danger—raw, consuming, and impossible to survive untouched. Enemies hunt them. Shadows follow them. And the kingdom whispers one truth:

If Cassian doesn’t ruin her, she’ll ruin him.

A dark, seductive story of prophecy, power, and a love so intense it could topple a kingdom.
