Interlaced Souls by Kimberly McKay

Release Date: March 31

Bonnie Mathis, a compassionate, single mom, is too busy running a ranch and herself ragged to consider love. Between managing her empathic impulses, taking care of a special-needs child, and handling her ex, she’s got her plate full. Yet, when she senses a stranger’s heartache from across a crowded room, her soul reacts whether she planned for it or not.

After a tragic accident, Jon Minton is looking for a fresh start. When he throws a dart at a map, and it lands on the town of Purity, deep in the heart of Texas, he hops in his truck and leaves his life and career in the rearview mirror. His grief-torn spirit leaves him unable to sleep, second-guessing himself, and questioning his life. That is until he sees Bonnie for the first time.

 

Follow Bonnie and Jon as they collide, making waves so massive that it could cost them dearly. When their souls intertwine in dreams, will they discover the key to beating the odds in both their lives? Can Jon save her from the crosshairs of an imbalanced stalker, who will stop at nothing to have her? 


Here is my trigger warning: This book touches on mental illness with a character whose obsessions override his ability to think logically. This does NOT reflect as a blanket statement for any or all with mental illness. It's just this particular character's journey. It's not meant to make a statement of any kind.

Meet Kimberly McKay


As a Marine brat, Kimberly has traveled the world over but grew up mostly in Hawaii, Japan, and Northern Virginia. 

Her father's duty stations took them to various places. From Okinawa, Japan, to the east coast, Kimberly uses her life experience to pull from.

Kimberly and her husband have been married for twenty years, and they have a wonderfully creative seventeen-year-old son and a rescue pup. They all reside in Oklahoma and try to do as many fun things as possible, like horseback riding, road trips, concerts, and more. Travel is still a key part of her life.

Kimberly's first book, Finding Kylie, was published in 2008. It received numerous positive reviews and was converted into a screenplay, with award-winning film producer John Schwab. Kimberly recently signed with a film agent for four of her original scripts, so hopefully, you'll see some of her work onscreen someday soon.

In total, Kimberly has released seven books. The first four are part of the Forgiveness Series, and they are Finding Kylie, Facing Redemption, Coming Home, & Saving Grace. Her only stand-alone book to date is Second Chances. Her second series is the Spiritual Gift Series, which includes Endless Possibilities, Dangerous Visions, & Blind Instincts. Currently, she's working on the fourth book in this series, Interlaced Souls. It should release in 2021.

At Wit's End by Kenzie Reed

Release Date: April 7

The contract says I have to get fake-married to a Witlocke. It didn’t say which Witlocke. 

Apparently, any stuck-up jerk whose last name begins with W and ends with E will do. Oops, was that my out loud voice? 

So I sign on the dotted line and agree to marry vacant pretty-boy Jonathon Witlocke. Voila. 

We’ll unite our feuding families, and I’ll save my aunt’s vineyard. Unfortunately, when Jonathon gets publicly busted doing the horizontal mambo with my maid of honor, that deal’s off. Enter my nemesis, Jonathon’s sinfully sexy tech mogul cousin Donovan. 

We’ve been mortal enemies since third grade, but he’s all too willing to take Jonathon’s place at the altar, for reasons he refuses to share with me.  

We just have to stay married until the end of the summer.

But a lot can happen in a summer.

A dropped towel can lead to unexpected consequences.  

Snarky sparring can end in steamy kissing. 

Hidden truths can be revealed under an ancient oak tree. Hearts can melt. And someone can fall in love with the last man on earth who’d want ‘forever’. Wait, that wasn’t in the contract…

HIS: Tony (Sabatini Family, #2) by Fiona Murphy




Title: HIS: Tony
Series: Sabatini Family #2
Author: Fiona Murphy
Genre: Contemporary Mafia Romance
Release Date: March 31, 2021


BLURB

A Sabatini may be a lot of things: an asshole, rude, ruthless, even a killer. But one thing we never are is sloppy, not with our money, not our business, and especially not with our bodies.

Until the moment I got sloppy with the most dangerous thing I could: a woman. I’m third generation in the Outfit. I’ve killed more than my share of men, have had more than a few guns held to my head. Christy wasn’t the first person who tried to kill me, she wasn’t the last, and I’m sure there will be more in the future.
I knew how we started was messed up. I’m old enough to be her father. She was thirty to my fifty. I should have spanked her ass, taken the gun away from her, and killed her the way I planned. She wanted me dead to pay for her childhood trauma. The way I saw it, I’ve done a lot of messed up things, but I wasn’t to blame for what she went through. If she wanted me dead, there was only one thing for me to do, kill her before she could kill me. Only the moment I laid eyes on her, everything changed: the plan, me, her.
When I put the ring on her finger and she promised forever, I believed we had a future. There was no hint I would wake up the next morning and find her gone. I tried to let her go, I can’t. She promised forever, I’m holding her to it. It doesn’t matter how far she’s gone. I will find her.

Christy belongs to me, and a Sabatini keeps what is his.


***Despite what you may have read in Dominic's story. This is not safe-on Tony's side. After she leaves he loses it for a little while. Once he calms down yes it becomes safe but I know this is an issue for some readers.
Safe from her side.***

EXCERPT

“Five hundred dollars.” The words rumble out of him as he uses the hand in my hair to pull my face up to him. “Is a pittance of your value. It’s not nearly enough, piccolina. I am denying your request. You are mine.”
The arm around me tightens to the verge of pain, only I welcome it, want more, want his naked body against all of me. My hands fist into the silk of his suit. Even though I want him, recognize the truth—I’m his. My head is shaking in denial, in fear of what it all means. A whimper escapes me.
His mouth is agonizingly close to mine, his hot breath against my lips, I breathe him in. I fight not to exhale, desperate to keep a part of him inside me. Why isn’t he kissing me is all my mind is screaming. The hand in my hair tightens, I can’t look away from fire blue eyes. “You belong to me. Do you understand me?”
I can only nod, words are too hard to form.
“Say it.” He growls at me.
“I belong to you.” The words escape me in a whisper. I don’t dare deny him. I can’t.

AUTHOR BIO

Due to commitment issues I have lived in many different cities and my favorite is Chicago but I have managed to settle into Austin and perhaps my commitment issues are behind me. 

I have enjoyed reading from a very young age and it wasn't long before the children books bored me and I read the books my mother enjoyed Stephen King and Dean Koontz and I didn't sleep without the light on until I was about ten. 

I came across my first Harlequin by accident and it was love at first read, no one died and happy endings? It was a whole new world and I loved it. 

I wrote my first story at eight and everyone died, of course. Since then I would like to think I've gotten better and now I'm writing the happily ever afters I first fell in love with, with some hot sex thrown in along the way. 

As a plus size woman myself, I have started writing the stories I always wanted to see myself in but never did. And now I’m ecstatic to give BBWs the happily ever afters with hot Alphas I want to read.

Tangled Web (The Cortell Brothers, #6) by Giulia Lagomarsino

Title: Tangled Web
Series: The Cortell Brothers Book 6
Author: Giulia Lagomarsino
Genre: Small Town Romance
Release Date: April 12, 2021



Andrew
I left behind my hacker ways and decided to become a P.I.
Of course, I was more of a cybercrime P.I. than an actual investigator.
But when her file fell in my lap, I knew I couldn't walk away. Not yet.
She had the body of a vixen and the eyes of a killer.
I was terrified.
And yet strangely attracted to the woman.
Was it sane? Not at all. Every time I saw her, I was sure I would end up dead.
But there were worse ways to go...

Lorelei
I was finally free.
Well, almost. My husband had left me with a bit of a mess.
And his kids...don't even get me started on them. All I wanted was my money, but that wasn't going to happen until I could get my hands on my dearly departed husband's trust.
In the meantime, I needed someplace new to live. So, I pointed my finger at the map and ended up in the cutest little town.
I just needed to make some friends, to blend in.
I could do that, and I knew just where to start...














I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
