FORGOT TO SAY GOODBYE

S.L. Scott

Release Date: August 17

Noah Westcott should come with a warning: Too Hot to Handle!   The man is stunningly handsome with his embracing brown eyes and lips that make me want to kiss that smirk right off his face.   How could I resist?   Spoiler: I didn’t.   That was my first mistake.   I blame him for the second. It should have been easy and fun. No strings attached. No feelings. As if he commanded it like he did me in the bedroom, I did exactly what I said I wouldn’t. I fell for him.   Two years later, the same man walks into my life. Again. A lot has changed. Not his devastating good looks, or that smug grin, but for me everything.   Now that Noah’s back—in my office and hanging around after hours—I can’t get distracted. I must protect my secret—the one who calls me Mommy.   Add to your TBR:   https://geni.us/FtSGGR                   Meet S.L. Scott: New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author, S.L.

Title: Clinch
Series: The Diamond Empire
Author: Kathy Coopmans
Release Date: August 29

Romantic Suspense, Mafia Romance

Cover Design: Jill Sava, Love Affair With Fiction



Clinch is the next standalone, emotional romance in USA Today bestselling author Kathy Coopmans' The Diamond Empire Series

There’s danger in stringing a person along. In making promises and not delivering. In breaking their heart when all you want to do is own it for the rest of your life.

Cherish it.

Worship at their feet.

Before they grew tired of the game, said they’d had enough, they shared pieces of themselves they’d never shared with anyone else. They accepted your lies and excuses about why you didn’t want to make your relationship public until finally realizing they were nothing more than empty words.

I know that danger because it’s what I did, and it didn’t matter that I shattered my own heart in the process.
What mattered was how deeply I broke hers.

Every time I told Cara I was sorry, that she needed to trust me because I loved her and would never intentionally hurt her, felt like a cancer eating me from the inside out.
It ravaged me. Ruined me.

I should have been straight with her from the beginning. Should have known eventually she’d grow tired of it.
Instead, I piled the lies so high I couldn’t repeat them if I tried.
I should have stuck to the plan, exacted my revenge before I risked losing her altogether.

Now, it might be too late.

The Widow Queen and her Lover
Alan Gold
Publication date: September 1st 2023
Genres: Adult, Historical

No longer one of the spoils of war, Catherine, Queen of England and France, resolves to fight for her new life – on her own terms

Catherine of Valois, daughter of the defeated king of France, looks down from the battlements as her future rides to greet her.

As one of the spoils of war, she is to be married to her father’s enemy, Henry V of England. She is prepared to do her duty – what could be worse than continuing to live with her ailing father and cold mother – but she wasn’t prepared to fall in love.

Henry is everything that she wanted in a husband, and a king. In him she finds a devoted lover and inspiring ruler. When he dies, shortly after she has delivered his heir, her future and that of her son is in doubt. Not only must she protect her baby, the young Henry VI, she must protect his legacy from the grasping and scheming of his uncle and protector.

When Owen Tudor — Welshman, commoner, troublesomely attractive — stumbles into her lap, she sees her future. A man who will not lead armies, nor rule kingdoms. Instead, one who will devote himself to protecting what is hers. But he must sacrifice everything he has in order to marry her, and even that may not be enough to keep them all safe.

EXCERPT:

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Gaspar saw movement. It was a woman coming up the steps from the rooms below in the castle. She’d heard the singing and wanted to see who was chanting. Monks? Townsfolk? Jongleurs? She didn’t look scared, and Gaspar recognised her immediately. It was the young and beautiful Catherine of Valois, only eighteen and the most beautiful girl he’d ever seen. Tall, majestic, regal, yet happy in her life, friendly, open, and warm … the very opposite of the mad father and especially the cold cow of a mother. God knows how she could be so happy and cheerful when she had a mother like that woman down below, that Bavarian bitch and a lunatic for a father.

Once upon a time, I was meant to be one of the three leaders of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳.
But I was born with two irrevocable flaws:
A conscience and the ability to love.
Both cost me the one person that made life worth living.
Losing her made me become 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘵.
I watched the consequences of my former world unravel, fighting from the shadows against the person who took everything from me.

𝗘𝗹𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲
I was the firstborn Cartwright, destined by my family’s legacy to run the Institute.
If you didn’t follow 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳, we would find a way to make you.
I accepted my position—until George Weiler.
He took me by surprise. Made me want things I was never meant to have.
One kiss turned into a forbidden love story.
No one betrayed 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳. Until me.
And for that, I paid the price.
Unbeknownst to everyone, I’ve been waiting in the dark to take back what is mine.
