RELEASE BLITZ - Small Town Romance by Annie Marcus



Title: Small Town Romance
Author: Annie Marcus
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Small Town/Second Chance Romance
Release Date: July 22, 2024

BLURB
Olivia Olsen did not move back to her small hometown for love because, as they say in Gresham, Minnesota, the odds are good, but the goods are odd. Yet somehow, Olivia still ended up on a date with her high school crush’s… younger brother. Like a lot younger. Fortunately, said former crush, Aiden Wescott, is a thousand-plus miles away, and if Olivia is really lucky, her mishap might miss the town rumor mill, especially if she can keep it out of the mouths of their meddling mothers.

Although Olivia knew the date was a bad idea before it started, she hadn’t anticipated Aiden moving back to Minnesota for a medical fellowship at Saint Paul Children’s. Nor did she expect to have such undeniable chemistry with him when he showed up at her farmer’s market stand, full of questions and eager to pick up where they left off.

As they rediscover their deep connection, they must navigate the challenges of their vastly different lifestyles. Aiden is tethered to his urban existence, while Olivia’s heart belongs to the rural land that sustains her community. Small Town Romance is a poignant exploration of the choices we face in the pursuit of love and fulfillment.

As the only child of world-famous pianist, Julian Vaughn, I was born into music. It wasn’t just what I did, it was it who I was. I began taking lessons at the tender of six. I was raised to follow in my father’s legacy. It wasn’t just that I wanted to be the best, it was expected.

BLURB
From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…

No one but me knew why I was actually in the California desert that day.
Nestled deep within the desolate, rocky area was a recording studio.
When a door suddenly opened, a man mistook me for someone he was supposed to be interviewing for a job.
The next thing I knew, I was whisked inside.
The position? An assistant on the upcoming tour for one of America’s most famous rock bands.
Pretty exciting opportunity for a twenty-two-year-old, just out of college.
Not surprisingly, I bombed the interview.
When I ended up mistakenly walking into the men’s room on my way out, I struck up a conversation with a stranger—not realizing it was the lead singer, Tristan Daltrey.
He seemed to like the fact that I had no idea who he was, that I saw him as a normal person.
That night, I got a call offering me the job.
So began my complicated story with Tristan.
Millions of women loved him.
Yet for some reason, after the shows, he only wanted to hang out with me.
Late-night talks. Casual dinners in his hotel room.
I wasn’t supposed to be fraternizing with the band’s frontman.
Despite our fifteen-year age difference, Tristan and I had a connection.
But I had a secret.
One that would eventually lead to my leaving the tour.
And one that would lead Tristan and the band straight to the small town where I came from.

Wanting to tear up the town after being a quiet teacher for months, she heads to the local club where sex, drugs, and disco reign. There, she meets Dex Holden, owner of the hottest dance studio and school in the city, and he also happens to be the hottest man Nicole has ever seen.

But convincing the jealous Felix that Nicole deserves her spot in the dance contest and in Dex's heart is harder than it looks.

Will the demure Nicole ever be the same after working with Dex, learning to dance, and making both men fall for her?

COVER REVEAL - Fighting My Way Back by Jacob Chance



Title: Fighting My Way Back

Genre: Dark MMA Sports Romance
Tropes: Age Gap, Hurt/Comfort, Grumpy Hero
Stalker, College Student, Tragic Past
Cover Design: Emily Wittig
Release Date: July 26, 2024

BLURB

If every scar tells a story...


Mine is about surviving. 


After a brutal attack at college, I return home for the summer to recover. But my emotional wounds are taking longer to heal than my physical ones. 


When I meet Silas, a former MMA champion with a scowl as permanent as the tattoos on his powerful body, asking him to teach me self-defense seems like the perfect idea. 


In the gym, our bond grows stronger, and the pain turns to passion. His close proximity unravels my self-control.


Even though he tries to keep me at arm's length, I'm chipping away at his resistance. He thinks he's too old and jaded, but I’m not easily deterred.


He saved me, and now I’m going to fight for us. Because our connection is intense, raw, and dangerously real. 


My fears are no longer about the shadows of my past… but a future together that may never be.
