Missionary

He had a calling. She was in need. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Shortly after his engagement to the prettiest girl at Brigham Young University, God called the elders of the Church with a message for Aaron: It was time to serve as a missionary—just for the summer. But Aaron must have been doing a really good job, because God kept calling to extend his mission. Years later and painfully homesick, twenty-two-year-old Aaron is sent to the affluent neighborhood of Sterling Heights. When he knocks on the door of Ivy St. Clair, a stunning 39-year-old former model and neglected trophy wife, he is encouraged by just how eager she seems to receive the Good News. But Ivy has a few teachings of her own to share with Aaron. Because Ivy sees what the elders and everyone but him can: He's a man now. Missionary is a literary dark satire and tongue-in-cheek, cougar-induced cumming-of-age story exploring the intersection of faith and corruption through one young man's very unorthodox journey to spiritual awakening.

**Two years ago, she stood him up on New Year’s Eve. He never got over it.** Matteo McKenzie could have any woman in Manhattan. He’s gorgeous, filthy rich, and New York’s most sought-after DJ—the kind of man Avery Clark swore she’d never fall for. Too charming. Too tempting. Too much like trouble. So when Matteo gave her his black card and asked her to spend New Year’s Eve with him… **Avery never showed.** Now, two Christmases later, she walks into a blind date and finds the one man she hoped she’d never have to face again sitting across the table. His verdict? **One star. Would not recommend.** Except Matteo isn’t looking for revenge. He’s looking at Avery like she’s still the only woman in New York. And this time, the man who falls first has no intention of letting the girl who got away disappear twice. **A swoony, steamy Christmas romance filled with Manhattan lights, wicked banter, handmade pasta, a meddling Rockette grandma, and one devastatingly devoted bad-boy DJ.** **He could have anyone. He’s been waiting for her.** *Book Two in the Christmas in Manhattan series of interconnected standalones.* [Read More]

Confessions of a Female Dominant. A mother. A mistress. A woman no one really sees

Ana has mastered the art of being useful — to everyone but herself. A perfect mother, a professional, a survivor of systems both domestic and corporate—she moves through life with precision, order, and quiet endurance. But beneath the structure lies a hunger she cannot name. When she meets Gabriel, a man who offers submission instead of love, Ana steps into a world that mirrors her own contradictions: power as refuge, desire as exposure, control as the last defense against grief. Their bond unravels the fictions she has lived by—about dominance, love, and the cost of being needed by everyone yet wanted by no one. Set between Stockholm’s sterile offices and the clandestine rooms of the Berlin BDSM underground, Confessions of a Female Dominant isn´t a story that heals; it is an unflinching chronicle of solitude, identity, and the architectures of power we build to survive intimacy.

by Laurel Osterkamp

It was impulsive of me, sleeping with Theo; he’s a rule-obsessed sheriff who’s SO not my type. Then again, Theo’s got this knack for making me feel seen, heard, and desired… I’m Emma Jacobs, owner of The Pretty Pinecone, a romance-only bookstore. I can sell you the perfect love story, but I can't seem to write my own happy ending. When a rival bookstore threatens my beloved shop’s survival, I decide to offer wine tastings and poetry nights. There’s just one problem—Theo Baird, Sugar Pine's infuriatingly handsome yet uptight new sheriff. He’s determined to shut me down over every minor infraction. Good thing that Theo’s good looking, because his personality is desperate need of a glow-up. And yet, no one challenges me the way Theo can. As my Valentine’s Day event approaches, featuring anonymous love confessions and Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s passionate verses, our boundaries begin to blur, and I wonder if maybe I’ve misread Theo all along. But then disaster strikes, and I must decide if I’m brave enough to risk my heart on the most daring venture of all—falling in love. LET ME COUNT THE WAYS is a sparkling, small-town romance about finding courage in poetry, passion in the unexpected, and the one person who makes breaking the rules worthwhile. [Read More]

He swore off complications. She ran straight toward them. Jane Adkins (a.k.a Jane Wreck) has a talent for disaster, including an infamous puking incident that ended her jockey career before it even began. So when her engagement implodes, Jane does the only sensible thing: flees to Colorado, with no plan, no prospects, and a playlist heavy on The Chicks. She’s searching for wide open spaces. What she finds is Resilience Ranch, a sanctuary for retired horses tucked into the San Juan Mountains, and its infuriating, magnetic owner, Chet Edwards. Chet has traded Silicon Valley for solitude, and he’d like to keep it that way. He’s made that perfectly clear. Jane is trying very hard to listen. She’s failing. As stolen moments and rides at sunset blur the lines between them, Jane senses that Chet isn’t just brooding for the hell of it–he’s hiding something. Something that could shatter the fragile, reckless hope she’s only just begun to feel. Award-winning author Laurel Osterkamp returns to Sugar Pine Springs with a sweeping reimagining of Jane Eyre—a story about the wreckage we carry, the truth we owe each other, and a love that emboldens us to stay.
