Release Blitz: Making Her Mine


Rowan Harper, a relentless reporter with everything to lose, sets her sights on the Beckett clan, only to find her biggest story complicated by Clive Beckett, the self-sacrificing shifter she never meant to fall for. As prophecy unfolds and a traitor emerges, Making Her Mine blends fated mates, magic, meddling gods, and irresistible chemistry into a battle where love may be the most dangerous force of all. Readers who enjoy grumpy sunshine romances with protective heroes and who did this to you tropes will want to sink their teeth into this all-new steamy paranormal romance from Bree Westland.

Blurb

Clive Beckett played as hard as he worked. Yet the truth of the matter, that he was slowly circling the drain, would soon be apparent to everyone.

He had his family fooled. His passion was saving lives. But his carefully built facade was disintegrating, piece by piece. Sacrifices needed to be made. And as usual Clive was all in, putting himself on the line one too many times.

Nothing excited Rowan Harper more than chasing a lead. She’s failed at everything though, except exploiting the truth. And with her personal life in shambles, she snags an exclusive contract. A tell-all story, centering on the famous Beckett siblings. Once the story breaks, she’ll be set for life, despite a high personal price. But a most unattainable, mountain of a man stands in her way.

When Clive finds himself dragged into yet another scheme to unravel the rogue fae’s hold on the clan, he can’t say no and comes face to face with his very human limitations. The pretty little reporter brightens his drab days, getting under his skin, complicating matters. But painful facts come to light, throwing everything Rowan has worked so hard for into question.

New battle lines are drawn and unforeseen allies called upon as the fight with the fae twists and escalates, aligning with prophecy. And a traitor hides in their midst. Danger lurking among the most vulnerable of them.

*Readers can expect healthy doses of hot shifters, naughty language, and intimate time with a fated mate, all wrapped up in a happily ever after. Can be read as a standalone romance but best enjoyed in the order written.

Audiobook Release: Inside Silence

 

Title: Inside Silence (Silence Series, #2) Author: Freya Barker Performed by: Veronica Worthington & Eric MacArthur Genre: Romantic Suspense Release Date: January 13, 2026 Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

Savannah (Savvy) Colter is not easily overwhelmed, which is a good thing, since she is the sheriff of Edwards County. It’s rare to find someone her age— a woman to boot—carrying such responsibility, but over the years, Savvy has more than proven herself worthy of the position…to most.

However, when in a matter of a few weeks an old flame resurfaces in Silence, and two particularly violent murders land on her desk, her steady and predictable life becomes a little much to handle.

New full-time single parent, Nate Gaines, reluctantly returns to his hometown, Silence, to offer his teenage daughter some much-needed stability. As a contractor he can work anywhere, and it’s not like he left a particularly fulfilling life behind, but he’s not too sure how much work he’s going to get here.

Although, some of the changes he encounters in Silence are a surprise. The most shocking one is seeing the woman he once craved like air, now wearing the sheriff’s badge he so despises.

Coming home is definitely not turning out the way he’d envisioned. Especially when a sudden crime spree has the law knocking on his door…again.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture in the lonely shore,
There is a society where none intrudes,
By the deep sea and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but nature more.
– Lord Byron

Read an Excerpt

Summer Sunrise

Sunrise in the mountains is a majestic and moving sight

It undresses the cloak of darkness and brings the world light To the east a rosy blush begins as earth embraces the dawn Curtains of night are lifted and its shadows soon withdrawn

Tendrils of light steal down the cavernous canyons tall Like fingers of liquid lava running down a volcano wall

Caressing the cliffs and painting a sheen on their snowy faces An artist’s hand and a pastel palette touching many places

Tree by tree tree the forest takes on a new found tinge The seas too are painted from their centre to their fringe

A kaleidoscope of colour as you watch the masterpiece unfold With subtle grace and beauty like an alluring dream untold

Rays of sunlight kiss the soft belly of the fluffy clouds Brushing them with chameleon colours endlessly endowed The world awakens in the sun’s tender soft-hued glow, Each ray a promise, a new day of heartfelt hope to sow.

From darkness to light, there is a magical transition A celestial ballet in a splendid and stately exhibition The wind seems to whisper softly dispelling all fears As a chorus of songbirds add their comforting cheers

The sun ascends faster now as purples turn to gold Bringing its welcoming warmth and dispelling the cold The sky is suddenly ablaze with the early morning light Finally vanquishing the demons of the daunting night

Enjoy Nature’s peace and grandeur as it percolates within Let your heart be touched and feel a solemn serenity begin Cast aside your worries, your troubles and your woes
As renewal begins and a blissful energy soon flows

About the Author: I am a retired physician who has been blessed with the opportunity to live in one of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring places on earth: Vancouver Island. Throughout my life I have remained intimately connected to nature. I consider it an alternate classroom and a timeless and thought-provoking teacher. It has taught me many enduring life lessons.

EXCERPTS:


S T A I R C A S E

I saw red while you held my hand
on that hill in a castle of sand
being nice, coming out of the blue
you were losing me, undeniably true
I was just another trophy for your shelf
overloaded by the further rusty twelve

Dissociating from this charming place
you are a mess inside, I know it’s the case
this romance had better leave no trace
but at sunset we sat here on the staircase

THE HIGHER THE STAIRCASE, THE CLEARER THE VIEW.



AUTHOR:

From Munich’s vibrant core, Intensia is sparking a poetic, tuneful movement with a unique glimpse into her evolving pop songs-to-be book, “WORDS TO THINK. OR TO SING.”.

Dear Sea’s Nod,

Thank you so much for having me. I am truly glad to be here and to share some thoughts with you.

Here is something that might surprise you about the book. If you did not know better, you might think it is simply a collection of modern poetry. But to curate this publication, I carefully selected meaningful and expressive fragments of my lyrics in progress. Each one offers a glimpse into the songs yet to come. There will be emotional, cinematic music between those lines.

This work is not the end of the story, but actually the beginning. It might even be the first publication with no hangover guarantee. It introduces me as a poetic pop music artist and hints at the tracks that will arise from it at a soulful and deliberate pace, one at a time.

If you would like to witness how the magic around these excerpts unfolds, you are warmheartedly invited to join me on Substack for this creative, evolving musical journey. I would be thrilled to see you there and to share with you what is gently forming.

Oh, and one more little surprise. Words to Think. Or to Sing. is only a few months old and has already received an award for poetry. It is also nominated for another one next year in the art category.

I hope you will consider reading it soon. Perhaps also as a unique and budget friendly gift idea for the upcoming season. And if you wish to pair it with something special to complete, the corresponding notebook Place to Think. Or to Write. is offered on its own, for those who like to encourage and wish inspiration.

In Intensity,
Yours,
Intensia
