Read an Excerpt

Hours later Diamond stood at the window and watch the cold, dreary Chicago day, and tried not to think about Allen or where he might be.

Distress tautened Diamond’s face. She bit her lip and sigh. “You know Allen was lying when he said he pays the rent on this place,” she exhaled. “Allen hasn’t paid the rent for the last two months.”

The weight of her words slammed into Cupcake’s chest, almost knocking the breath out of her. “What?”

Diamond waved her hand. “Oh, I’m not worried, everything will be okay. All I have to do is just give Allen some time, he’ll come around.”

Cupcake glanced back at Diamond standing by the window. Her heart went out to her. She poured herself another cup of coffee and reached for a fresh cup and filled it. “Diamond, come have a cup of coffee with me.”

She carried the cups of coffee over to the table and sat down. “Diamond did you get a chance to check with Max and see if he would speed, your financial aid application through?”

Diamond heard the urgency in her voice and walked over and sat down. She lifted her cup of coffee and slowly took a sip.

“Don’t act like you didn’t hear me, Diamond Jolene Dunbar,” this is Wanda Faye Potts, sitting here girl,” she said sourly, as she spun around in her chair and stared back at her best friend.

“Cupcake,” I’m not impressed with your trying to act like you’re ticked off at me. Besides, I know your real name is Wanda Faye Potts. I know who you are.”

“Then you know that I am your oldest, wisest and dearest friend. I’ve known you since you were a girl growing up in the Cabrini Green Projects.”

Short Review: Head Over Paws

Author: Debbie Burns

Debbie Burns creates a near perfect "book boyfriend" with veterinarian Gabe.

The story mostly revolves around Olivia and her work with the rescue shelter. While Gabe talks about how he decided to become a veterinarian, I expected him to be a little more of a broody character.

Throw in the recuse of a dog and you a very cute and enjoyable novel.

Rating: 😃😃😃😃

*** I voluntarily requested, read and reviewed an advanced reader's copy of this book via Netgalley.

Cover Reveal: Southern Storms

Southern Storms, an all-new angst-filled friends to lovers romance from Brittainy C. Cherry, is coming April 2nd and we have the gorgeous cover!

All I wanted to do was run away, I never expected to crash into his arms…

After leaving the city life behind to escape my loveless marriage, I moved to small town Havenbarrow for a fresh start.

What I didn’t expect was to find myself drawn to the town’s black sheep.

They called him troubled. Cold. A man with a dark past.

What everyone seemed to miss about Jax was the splashes of light in his eyes. The random acts of kindness he performed when no one was watching. The way he made me smile and laugh.

Jax helped unpack the baggage I’d been carrying around with me. He was patient with my pain and gentle with my scars. He was the stillness during my hurricane.

Yet when both of our pasts come back to haunt our present days, we realized quickly that sometimes loves stories didn’t end the way we’d hoped.

Sometimes you were left with only the damage from the storm.

Read an Excerpt

Swimming along, Velvet continued to send a friendly wave to every creature she saw. She rounded the corner of a huge coral reef and saw a murky, shaded part of the coral ahead. If she had a middle name, it would be Curious. Velvet thought nothing of swimming into the darkened water.

A naked man was swimming furiously to the surface, struggling and thrashing in a panic.

He thinks he’s drowning.

If his panic didn’t give him away as a visitor to the Dreaming, his energy did. She didn’t know many visitors, but she had met more than anyone else she knew. Why did she find visitors so compelling? She often wondered about that.

Once, she had shared a romance with a visitor. His name was Joe, and he was sixteen years old at the time. For one whole summer, that was what he called it, they spent all of his time in the Dreaming together. Then Joe admitted to her that he felt weird about having an invisible girlfriend, and they stopped seeing one another in that way. They were friends now. He’d long since grown up and was happily married to a new visitor to the Dreaming. A woman named Dana.

Velvet stopped her reverie and flashed into action, quickly pushing the stranger to what would appear to be a surface to him. She held him while he gulped air, and spurted water from his mouth at the same time.

The stranger turned wild eyes to Velvet. He scanned her from head to tail, and then started racing away from her.

“What?” Velvet called out sarcastically. “Was it something I said? Most people have to know me awhile before they swim away at high speed.” As soon as she said it, she felt terrible and her compassion kicked her butt. She called out, “I’m sorry. I hope you’re okay.” The visitor never looked back.

Cover Reveal: Love by Design

We are excited to share the cover for LOVE BY DESIGN by Katy Ames, an upcoming book in the second season of 425 Madison Avenue. Check out this wonderful cover for a must-read reunited romance!

ANNIKA

Cheating husband. On-air meltdown.
Public humiliation.

Lucky me, I’ve experienced them all. 

Oh, and the implosion of my career as an
up-and-coming designer and renovation
television darling.

That was then.

Now, I’m in the TV studio, more determined than
ever to prove to myself (and the few fans I have
left), that I’m back for good. Nothing from my
past—no man, no mistake—is going to knock me
down again.

If only fate—and Grayson Hesse—had gotten the
memo.

GRAYSON

Woodworker. Stone house restoration guru. And
the new host of Hesse and a Hard Place. 

This is what I know: 

If this show’s a success, I’ll finally be able to give
my family the financial stability they need. My
chances of success go way up if I have the best
designer in the business working by my side. And
the best in the business (despite the lingering
rumors) is Annika Hale.

She’s the triple threat: brilliant designer,
restoration maven, and the woman who stole
my heart six years ago…and hasn’t looked back
since.

But that was then.

Now… Well, what is it they say? After all, 425
Madison is the perfect place to fall in love.

Add to Goodreads! 

Don’t Miss Accidently In Love by Katy Ames
from the first season of 425 Madison Ave.

"This was a fun, quick read that has both heart and
some heat. With a hero who has scars – both literally
and figuratively – from the past and a heroine who
steps way out of her comfort zone, it was easy to get
caught up in this “friends with adventures” story."
—Em and Em Books

wishes would sleep a lot more than they do, and
wife to a man whose reading habits are far too
serious. Katy and her family reside in Washington,
D.C.,
a city in which she never planned to live and loves
so much she’d be happy to talk about it for hours.
Just ask.
