Just Her Holiday Type

by Brisa Carleton

Tropes: forcedproximity, firstperson, dualpov

“Funny, romantic, and magical. I wanted to curl up inside this story until Christmas.” - Abby Jimenez, #1 NY Times Bestselling Author Every December Plum Hayes writes the kind of cozy Christmas romance movies her readers watch and love. Too bad she stopped believing in holiday magic the night her own happily-ever-after fell apart. Two weeks from deadline and out of holiday spirit, she's been packed off to Pine Tree, a snow-globe town with all the charm but surprisingly few of the Christmas traditions for which it used to be known. There she finds the typewriter. And the typewriter magically manifests her leading man, named, dressed, and behaving to her exact specifications. Zach is perfect. The problem is Ethan. Ethan, the no-nonsense, flannel-wearing owner of the antique shop downstairs, who is holding things together with his own two hands, says inconvenient true things, and looks at her in a way no script could ever quite capture. With Christmas Eve closing in and her deadline looming, Plum is going to have to choose between the perfect man and the right one. Just Her Holiday Type is a sweet, swoony, laugh-out-loud Christmas romcom about deadlines, do-overs, and what happens when you stop writing the script and start living it. For anyone who's ever wanted to believe in holiday magic again. [Read More]

Top Shelf

14 readers reading

My smile works on everyone in the league. Then they traded for Grant Hale, and he looked at me like he already knew exactly what I was hiding behind it. I'm Ollie Reyes — golden boy, top-line winger, the guy the whole room angles toward. Being loved is my superpower and my survival plan; you don't get bounced through seven foster homes without learning how to be easy to keep. It has worked my entire career. It does not work on Grant Hale. He's thirty-three, freshly traded, growls one word at a time, and comes with a locker-room-problem reputation I'm ninety percent sure is bad press. Coach has forty-three days to get him integrated before the trade deadline — so he bolts us together. Same line. Same road room. Every hotel between here and March. The trouble isn't that Grant won't buy the smile. The trouble is what's under it: a guy who's terrified he's one bad season from being sent back, who has never once shown anyone the real thing and gotten to stay. And somehow the grumpiest man in the building is the first person to look straight past the sunshine and actually see me — and not leave. Turns out getting solved by Grant Hale feels a whole lot less like losing and a whole lot more like being found. Top Shelf is a bright, low-angst M/M hockey romance: grumpy-sunshine, forced-proximity linemates, a golden boy with a secret and a gruff closeted vet who says everything with an assist, banter for days, and found-family warmth. Standalone with a guaranteed happy ending. Steamy and swoony. Book 1 of the Northport Sentinels. [Read More]

Poison Apple: Snow White and the MC Beast

Tropes: slowburn, forcedproximity, firstperson

Instant download

They call me fairy-tale beauty made flesh. But I’m just Annika. I’ve already buried one man I loved. I’m still haunted by the ghosts of my past. I have one rule: Nobody gets close to my son. Fate—or the Norse Gods—had other plans: Shove me on a pitch-black parking lot. Drop a six-foot-six Sons of Ragnarök patch-wearer—inked, ruthless, and fourteen years my senior. I’m frozen in terror. My fearless two-year-old with zero sense of danger? Both arms. Open wide. And the Beast takes my boy like he’s always belonged to him. “I’m Ronny ‘Leif’ Reinhardt, and I rule the Sons of Ragnarök with absolute power. Protection money? I call it insurance premium. A broken arm? Just business. Innocence has never been my weakness. Until a tiny redhead barrels into my life and the beast in me finally meets its match. The feeling is foreign, dangerous, and fuckin’ addictive. I’m everywhere now. Watching. Guarding.” Guarding? And why is he smirking? And calling our encounters “coincidence”? My head calls him obsessed. My body is obsessed. With him. Starts sending SOS. But the most terrifying part? He doesn’t rip my clothes off. He looks me in the eyes and asks, “May I?” — There’s no going back. The poison apple is already bitten. ONE BITE, and you’ll be stuck in Germany’s industrial wasteland where the darkness hits harder—not for lack of light, but because hope, love, and beauty only increase the level of destruction. A dark, twisted Snow White retelling × outlaw biker romance. ONE BITE, Snow White… and the Beast never lets you go. Five books. One arc. This is where the found family saga begins. This is book one of five — a slow burn that starts gentle and builds. Come for the Golden Retriever moments, stay for the abyss that follows. [Read More]

Tropes: slowburn, firstperson, forbiddenlove

She is ice and scandal. He is speed and sin. When they meet, their Olympic night turns heat into a weapon they cannot stop using. Nico Reiner is Austria’s new golden boy, hurtling toward an Olympic silver that could cement his place in ski-racing history. The world sees swagger and shine, but behind the grin and glory, every gate is a dare not to choke, not to prove his doubters right when it matters most. Élise Moreau is the exiled heiress of a disgraced French empire, trained to smile, obey, and weaponize her beauty for her father’s ambitions. Slipping into the Olympic Village under a stolen press badge, she wants one anonymous night where no one knows her name, no one owns her choices, and no one can turn her into a pawn. When Nico recognizes the mystery girl who once scorched him with a single look, their collision in a quiet athletes’ lounge detonates into flirting as combat, touch as challenge, and sex as the only language reckless enough to match them both. Silver Course is a steamy forbidden prequel to Carve Me Free, a high-stakes sports romance where a reckless speed king chases an uptown ice queen across the World Cup circuit. If you like scorching chemistry, messy rich-girl rebellion, and dangerous men who race as they love, you’ll devour this Maraverse novella. [Read More]

The Roman Prince of Chaos: A Spicy Slow-Burn Italian Football Romance

by Mara J. Ova

Tropes: slowburn, firstperson, characterdriven

Rome’s most wanted man has never had to prove he means it. With Klara, he has to earn every inch. Alessandro Moretti is the Golden Ball winner, voted the Sexiest Man Alive, and Rome’s golden football son. Watching him on screen has been my guilty pleasure for more than ten years. Then he became the face of my Baroque restoration campaign, said some stupid things about Baroque that I couldn’t let stand, and I corrected him. In front of a hundred people. It became a meme on Instagram. Now he wants me to teach him history, officially so he doesn’t make an idiot of himself again. But I know why he suddenly pretends to admire Roman architecture. He wants me. On the pitch, Alessandro is hungry, aggressive, and used to taking what he wants. Off it, he’s a master seducer who knows exactly how to make a woman feel like she’s the only person in the room. But I mean to resist him, no matter how my pulse quickens when I feel his warmth. Because Alessandro Moretti loves the chase, and I refuse to become just another conquest. For once, he has to learn restraint. Except he says this isn’t about conquering me. He says he wants me. All of me. And he wants to make me happy. How am I supposed to believe that a man who has had a roster of supermodels on his arm could truly want a curvy scholar with limited time in Rome? And even if he does, the whole world will be watching, ready to decide whether I’m worthy of him. I’ve spent years building my professional reputation. I will not risk it for one charming, adorable footballer. Even if the most wanted man in Italy seems determined to prove that, for once, he isn’t playing to win. He’s playing for keeps. The Roman Prince of Chaos is a slow-burn, spicy sports romance packed with hilarious banter, irresistible pursuit, electric chemistry, and one very determined football star learning that some things are worth waiting for. Because Rome has been messing with young lovers since the beginning of time. Take a look inside and discover what ha [Read More]
