Cover Design: Melissa Gill Designs

 
A sullen girl with an untold story…
Eyes so blue I swear it’s like looking at the turquoise waters of the Greek Isles.
Those are the first memories I have of Kyra.
For years I stood on the sidelines, watching and waiting for my perfect chance.
Wanting her so badly, consumes my every thought.
There are so many things I thought I knew. But the truth is… I don’t know the real Kyra.
But what I do know is that I will stop at nothing to know her. I am mesmerized by her beauty, captured by her smile, and warmed by the love she has for her Gran.
Her laughter is addictive and her touch, soothes every single doubt I’ve ever had. Kyra is the one I want, the one I’ve always wanted.
She tempted me with just one glimpse of her mesmerizing eyes and now, I crave more.
I have every intention of showing her how amazing we can be together.
Because she became mine a long time ago, I felt it the first time I saw her captivating eyes.
It’s time I go after the one I’ve wanted. The one that I’ve dreamed of…
The one temptation I’ve never been able to shake.

Title: Sweet Memory

Series: The Painted Daisies Book 1
Author: LJ Evans
Genre: Second Chance Romance, Opposite-sides-of-the-track Romance, Female Rockstar Romance
Release Date: March 15, 2023
Cover Design: Emily Wittig Designs

The world’s most beloved rock star falls for a troubled music producer whose past comes back to haunt them.
As the youngest member of The Painted Daisies, keyboardist Paisley Kim’s entire life revolves around writing songs and playing music. It’s easy for her to fall head over heels for producer Jonas Riccoli from the moment he enters her life. Amidst their fiery arguments about music and lyrics, it feels like he’s the only one who sees beyond her stage fright and shyness to the bold, brave musician she wants to become.
However, not everyone in the band is happy for the new couple. When her sister, Landry, warns her to stay away from the troubled producer, Paisley doesn’t listen, and her sister pays the price.
Jonas thinks Paisley is the woman he could spend his future with, until his past catches up to him and Landry is murdered. He blames himself, and so does the brokenhearted Paisley, who walks out of his life without looking back.
But when she decides to offer herself up as bait to catch the killer, Jonas returns to Paisley’s side. There’s no way he’s going to let her face the danger alone. He’ll be there to keep her safe even if she doesn’t want him, even if it means his own destruction.
With an all-female rock band and the alpha heroes who steal their hearts, The Painted Daisies might just leave you breathless. Each full-length novel has a different HEA couple and a concluded suspense plot, but the series is best read from book one to keep track of the overarching murder mystery. Are you ready for it?
𝙎𝙒𝙀𝙀𝙏 𝙈𝙀𝙈𝙊𝙍𝙔 is a second-chance, opposite-sides-of-the-track romance. The world’s sweetest rock star falls for a troubled music producer whose past comes back to haunt them.
Award-winning author LJ Evans writes achingly heartfelt slow-burns with deep, relatable characters, true friends, real “family”, and dreams remade on this wild ride called life.
 
She lives in the Central Valley of California with her husband, child, and the three terrors called cats. She’s been writing, almost as a compulsion, since she was a little girl and will often pull the car over to write when a song lyric strikes her. A former 1st-grade teacher, she now spends her free time reading and writing, as well as binge-watching original shows like The Crown, A Discovery of Witches, Veronica Mars and Stranger Things.
 
If you ask her the one thing she won’t do, it’s pretty much anything that involves dirt—sports, gardening, or otherwise. But she loves to write about all of those things, and her first published heroine was pretty much involved with dirt on a daily basis. Which is exactly why LJ loves fiction novels—the characters can be everything you’re not and still make their way into your heart.

Title: Second Chances Series
Author: Jacqueline Francis

Scott Carter is a bully. Scott Carter is a racist. Scott Carter is the most arrogant douche I have ever met. This man-whore charms the pants off all the girls, but not me – the Latina from the wrong side of town – I see none of that charm. I get the worst of him. He has made my life a living hell, tormenting me for years with no reprieve.
Just when I’m at breaking point, Scott Carter steps in and makes everything ten times worse. My whole life is turned upside down in an instant. And now, after he’s messed up everything, that’s when he decides that maybe we should try to be friends. He wants to reconcile and put the past behind us.
Ugh! No! He can go to hell. I want nothing from Scott Carter…but it’s starting to look like he wants something from me.
If you’re looking for haters-to-lovers romance with a sexy, cocky hero and a sassy, quick-witted heroine, this one is just for you. #slowburn #highschooldrama
Dylan De Lorenzo is grade-A boyfriend material. Dylan De Lorenzo is the nicest guy wrapped up in the sexiest package of lean-cut biceps and rock-hard abs. Dylan De Lorenzo is exactly the type of guy who should stay away from me.
See, I’m the “bad girl”, the drunk, the floozy, trouble with a capital T. Guys can’t seem to resist my curves, and he may tell you differently, but he’s not immune to me either. He wants me and he knows he shouldn’t because I am the worst thing that could happen to a guy like him.
But Dylan De Lorenzo had me fooled. This guy flipped the script on me. He has a temper and a secret…and an ex-girlfriend. These were things I was unaware of when I blindly stumbled into this abyss of love and lust and passion.
Looking back at it now, maybe he was the worst thing that could have happened to me.
Warning: This book contains triggers that may affect certain readers such as suicide (before the book begins) and substance abuse. It may also affect readers who were victims of abuse and/ or violence. It contains strong language and sexual content and is not recommended for readers under 18 years of age or sensitive readers.
Other warnings: This book is basically one big flashback (for those of you who hate that kind of thing) and ends on cliffhanger. It contains (a lot of) crass sexual humor and if you are lactose intolerant, proceed with caution. There is also a moderate amount of cheese.
Isabella Diaz is a cheat. Isabella Diaz turned out to be the treacherous snake I was warned about. Isabella Diaz ripped my heart out and wrecked my whole world. It took a while, but I somehow pushed past the pain she caused. I picked up the pieces, wrote her off as a bad decision, and moved on. So, imagine my surprise when I find myself at her mercy again, when the mere sound of her voice takes center stage and overshadows everything else in my life.
See, Isabella Diaz played me for a fool, but when the dusty cloud of deception finally settles, I see her for who she really is. The woman I love. The woman I hate. The woman I shouldn’t want…but I do.
Warning: This book contains triggers that may affect certain readers, such as mental illness and infertility. It may also affect readers who were victims of abuse and/ or violence. It contains strong language and sexual content and is not recommended for readers under 18 years of age or sensitive readers.
Other warnings: This book contains many flashbacks (for those of you who hate that kind of thing), so please pay attention to the dates. Just like the first one, it still contains (a lot of) crass sexual humor and too much cheese. Also, special warning for what happens in chapter 2/ 3. Don’t hate me.
Scott and Catalina – part 2 ❤❤❤ – This is not a standalone and must be read with book 1 of this series
Catalina Diaz was my dream come true. Catalina Diaz was my future. Catalina Diaz promised me forever, and I was foolish enough to believe her. She lied. Forever, as it turns out, was just an infinite amount of happiness condensed into a very finite amount of time.
“I’ll be back in a year,” she told me before she boarded a plane, but that wasn’t true either. On the day she left, we didn’t realize that our paths were going to lead in two separate directions. The distance grew between us, and what we had slowly dissipated into something we couldn’t salvage. We both moved on, she found love again, and I accepted she was lost to me forever.
Well, I thought I accepted it…until I see her again.
Karma has always enjoyed messing with me, and this time is no exception. Her sister is getting married to my best friend and what better circumstance to run into my ex-fiancé again than at a wedding? Just one interaction and Catalina Diaz turns my whole life upside down. See, I still want her, but she’s happy with someone else. It’s painstakingly gruesome.
I keep telling myself that I just have to get through two weeks and then she’ll hop on a plane, and we can go our separate ways again. Just two weeks and then I can put all the memories of Catalina Diaz out of my mind for good. Easy, right? An infinite amount of torture condensed into a very finite amount of time. I’m sure I can do it.
Trigger warning: Contains cheating!

 
Number cruncher by day, raging romance novelist by night; Jacqueline’s creative inspiration stems from romance and all its literary and rom-com depictions. Her slow-burn novels incorporate feisty females, witty heroes, and are always laced with a good dose of humor. Matters of the heart are what fascinates her, because ultimately, what makes a life out of – what would ordinarily be a typical existence – is Love

This is my last chance and the biggest payoff pitch of my life.

Hunter Logan

There are only two things that keep me going: my business and caring for my extended family. So the expansion plans I have for my ice cream company, plans that will set up my siblings and cousins for life, are very close to my heart.

 

When a major obstacle gets in the way, it rocks my world. Suddenly I’m scrambling to save my business, and the person who holds my livelihood in the palm of her hand is the girl who stole my heart sixteen years ago.

And never gave it back.

Beth is back in Ashleigh Lake, and this could be my second chance, but will I pick my family over the love of my life again?

 

Beth Anderson

The last person I expect to walk back into my life on a random weekday afternoon is Hunter Logan, the boy who broke my heart. And now he wants me to save his business and not sell the farm in Ashleigh Lake that I’ve inherited?

 

The best thing I can do is shut the book on Hunter and my past, but that won’t be easy. Not when he’s my next-door neighbor on my visit to Vermont to sign on the dotted line. And most definitely not when he goes out of his way to remind me of everything I once loved about Ashleigh Lake…him most of all.

 

WHEN I FALL IN LOVE is a second-chance romance written in first person, dual Point of View, set in small town Vermont and sure to give you a warm and fuzzy glow around your heart!
