later in life romantic suspense book cover 
Bess Choi is proud of what she’s accomplished. Owner of Strange Brew, a popular coffee shop in Silence, she’s worked hard and has overcome many obstacles to build the life she has. It’s a good life, one that includes work she loves, an apartment to call her own, and plenty of good friends.
 
But an unexpected phone call comes as a brutal reminder of a time she thought she’d left far behind. Suddenly, she’s faced with the choice to turn her back on the beautiful life she created, or break her guilty silence.
 
Chief Deputy Hugo Alexander isn’t sure when exactly he started seeing the quiet coffee shop owner as more than simply a good friend. It’s hard to pinpoint the moment when she went from a supportive friend to him and his teenage son, to the woman who features in his dreams and fantasies.
 
Unfortunately, Bess Choi seems to have him firmly locked in the friend zone, and it’s not until worrisome things start happening around her, she cautiously starts lowering the barriers.
 
But when he discovers she might be in far more danger than she’s been willing to let on, he’s done tiptoeing around.

On the heels of Sammi's grandmother’s whispered deathbed wish, a package of letters from Italy arrives at her post box.

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.

Release Blitz: In Another Life by Candice Wright

Today, I'm hosting a promo, on Candice Wright's latest release, In Another Life (Raven Souls MC #5), as a part of the ongoing release blitz tour. Check it out! Note that the featured book is free in kindle unlimited!!
 
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.
