LILY
There once was a prince, in a bungalow by the sea…

He’s the ocean roaring into my life, an ocean whose depths I can’t resist even though I must. I want him, but I’m not supposed to want more. And yet, when I look at him, this damaged artist, this kindred soul who paints my dark world with his laughter and his pain, I want to give in…

But I can’t, not when I’m not the one he sees, not when doing so would mean losing my voice all over again.

There once was a prince, in a bungalow by the sea.
But he’s not my prince; he never was for me.

LUKAS
Along came a pixie, in a faded hoodie…

She’s the wave crashing through my world, the wave that brought me to my knees and threatens to sweep me under. I want her, but I’m not supposed to want more. And yet, when I look at her, this paperbag princess, this impossible minx who dances her way into my dark, I start to lose control…

But I can’t, not when I have nothing left to give, not when doing so would mean digging into the wounds of my past all over again.

Along came a pixie, in a faded hoodie.
Just a minx, a pixie… and she’s all that I see.

Release Blitz: Heart of Stone.

Title: Heart of Stone

Series: Camp Bexley #3

Author: K.K. Allen

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: September 27, 2022

BLURB

Benson Bexley has always had a heart of stone.

Apparently, nothing has changed.

When he returns home after a decade gone, I recognize him right away.

How could I forget him?

He’s the same cocky flirt who slid dirty poetry to me in art class.

With the same stone-cold stare that shielded his soul from the world.

And that same sharp-edged jaw that cut straight through my heart like a dagger.

Fortunately, this time I see right through his arrogant charm.

Even better, he doesn’t remember who I am.

I have no intention of reminding him.

After all, it’s only a matter of time until his nomadic lifestyle takes him away again.

When his poetic charm strikes again, I play along.

Maybe it's time he got a taste of his own medicine.

Revenge.

It’s not in my nature.

But Benson Bexley deserves nothing less.

It’s time for that heart of stone to shatter.

AUTHOR BIO

V.F. Mason always loved reading books and had quite a few fights with her momma over the genre she liked (romance, duh!)

Release Blitz: Gracie's Mom.

Title: Gracie's Mom

Series: Songs of Sin #1

Author: Misty Walker

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: September 21, 2022

BLURB

From USA Today bestselling author comes a reverse age gap, forbidden romance.

At thirty-nine years old, I have my life together.

I’m a successful photographer, I own my own home, and thanks to a teenage pregnancy, I’m already an empty nester.

The only thing missing is love. And who has time for that?

That’s what I’m thinking the day my daughter, Gracie, calls to tell me she’s bringing her roommate home with her for spring break.

Dax Shelton is charismatic, funny, ridiculously sexy, and for some reason, whenever I’m with him, he aims all that charm on me.

I try to keep my space and not take him seriously, but when he pins me against my kitchen counter and whispers all the dirty things he wants to do to me, I can’t ignore him any longer.

So, at thirty-nine years old, I have a secret fling with a man seventeen years my junior.

Or at least that’s what I think it is until our late nights become less about sex and more about our feelings, and I accidentally fall in love with my daughter’s roommate.

Things are about to get messy. Not only because Gracie won’t understand how I let this happen, but also because she’s in love with him too.

*Like all the books in the Songs of Sin collection, Gracie’s Mom is a complete standalone.
