Peak Season

 

Man and Woman about to Kiss / snowy mountains in background.


Peak Season Author : Emily Harrison
One winter. One chance. One desire that can't be denied. Lola Maxwell isn't looking for love, she's barely looking up. Reeling from heartbreak and a life that's never quite made sense, she takes a last-minute job with holiday company Powder White, at Le Grenier, chalet hotel tucked deep in the French Alps. It's meant to be simple: work hard, stay out of trouble, and avoid any man with a crooked smile and a snowboard under his arm. Then Harley Nash walks in. Moody, magnetic, and impossible to read, Harley has made a name for himself on and off the slopes. Once a rising snowboarder with a reckless streak, now he's the ski team lead at Powder White, doing everything he can to keep things under control, including himself. The last thing he needs is a new recruit with fire in her eyes and chaos in her wake. But Lola's not easy to ignore. And Harley's not nearly as in control as he looks. As the season deepens, so does the pull between them, slow, sharp, and full of things neither of them wants to feel. But when attraction turns into something dangerous, both Lola and Harley will have to confront what they've been running from... or risk losing more than just the job. Set in a remote ski resort full of secrets, second chances and snow-soaked tension, Peak Season is a fiercely emotional winter romance about trust, control, and the kind of chemistry that doesn't cool down.

Publication Date : 4th November 2025 Book on pre-sale at Barnes & Noble (US), Waterstones + Foyles (UK), Indigo (Canada), Booktopia (Australia) and Amazon (Global).

The Lycan's Queen

 

Woman in White Veil with Evil Eyes Behind Here

The Lycan's Queen

Author: S.R. Page (Redsonia)



Valeria grew up hidden in plain sight, her true nature suppressed by magic. As an Arcanthrope, a rare werewolf with mystical powers, Valeria is highly sought after for breeding, power, and sacrifice.

Just days before her 21st birthday, Valeria finds out that Isolde, a witch who raised her, plans to harvest her magic and give her to Sheridan Silvermane, the young Alpha who has been itching to claim her as his own.

With no other choice, Valeria flees North, into the forbidden lands no werewolf dares to enter. There, she encounters Lucian Malrik, and the magic binding her prevents Valeria from recognizing him for what he is—the powerful Lycan King and her fated mate.

Lucian brings her home, determined to help her heal, but enemies within his palace force Valeria to flee again.

...

“Six months,” Lucian growled, his eyes reflecting a violent storm of emotions. “It took me six months to find—”

“Mate,” she whispered.

His anger was replaced by glee in an instant. “You know what I am to you?”

“You’re the bastard who abandoned me.”

“No. I never abandoned you, Val. Let me explain. Let me prove that you are my only one...”

...

As Sheridan hunts her, witches scheme, and the unrest on the border is rising, Lucian must protect his people and win Valeria's heart.

With enemies closing in, Valeria is running out of time to discover the true nature of her powers, which she must do because she is the only one who can end the war between species... as the true Lycan Queen.

Review:

S.R. Page’s The Lycan’s Queen opens with a whisper and grows into a roar. It’s a supernatural romance that refuses to play by the rules of fate or fantasy. At its heart is Valeria, a wolfless girl raised in the shadows of the Silvermane Pack, her true nature bound by magic and betrayal. She is an Arcanthrope, a rare werewolf with mystical powers, and her very existence is currency in a world ruled by dominance, superstition, and sacrifice.

The first chapter sets the tone with quiet dread. Valeria overhears a conversation that shatters her world. Her adoptive mother, Isolde, and the Young Alpha Sheridan plot to exploit her body and latent power during a celestial alignment. The betrayal is visceral.

Valeria’s flight from the pack is not just an escape; it’s the ignition of her transformation. She journeys into forbidden lands, where she meets Lucian Malrik, the Lycan King, and her fated mate. Their romance simmers with tension and emotional complexity, refusing to reduce love to destiny alone. 

Lucian’s plea—“Let me prove that you are my only one”—is not a promise of salvation, but a challenge to earn trust in a world that has taught Valeria to expect betrayal.

Page’s prose balances elemental symbolism with forensic realism, crafting a world where witches scheme, borders bleed, and power is never without cost. 

Valeria is no passive heroine; she is a survivor, a seeker, and ultimately, a queen in her own right. As war looms and enemies close in, her journey becomes one of reclamation of magic, identity, agency, and love.

The Lycan’s Queen is a tale for readers who crave emotional resonance, outsider triumphs, and the kind of romance that burns through betrayal to find truth. It’s fierce, poetic, and utterly unforgettable.

THE SECRET MURDER of Brian Jones

 

Picture of Brian Jones with Mates



What if the founder of the Rolling Stones didn’t drown—what if he was silenced?

In The Secret Murder of Brian Jones, author Richard Gilbride embarks on a chilling, evidence-driven investigation into one of rock’s darkest mysteries—the death of the Rolling Stones’ visionary founder. What began as a haunting dream led Gilbride into years of research, uncovering contradictions, cover-ups, and missing records that point to a single conclusion: Brian Jones didn’t die by misadventure—he was murdered.

Through detailed testimonies and forensic revelations, Gilbride reconstructs the night of July 2, 1969, when Jones’ body was found lifeless in his Cotchford Farm swimming pool. Eyewitness accounts—some silenced for decades—suggest a brutal struggle, a burning of evidence, and a carefully staged scene that erased the truth before dawn. From builders with violent motives, to insiders who looted his estate, to the manipulation of police reports and inquests, every chapter reveals a deeper conspiracy hidden beneath the myth of the “cursed rock star.”

A masterful blend of meticulous research and gripping storytelling, Richard Gilbride’s The Secret Murder of Brian Jones exposes long-buried truths behind the rock legend’s death, making it a standout in the true crime genre” 

MainSpring Books

But beyond the scandal, Gilbride brings to light the brilliance of a man long overshadowed by the legends he helped create. Brian Jones was not only a founding Stone—he was a musical prodigy fluent in over twenty instruments, whose sound shaped an era. His story, told here with empathy and precision, becomes both a true-crime chronicle and a eulogy for genius undone by envy and betrayal.

Fans of rock history and true-crime revelations—from Helter Skelter to Who Killed Christopher Robin?—will find Gilbride’s account impossible to put down.

More than fifty years later, the truth finally surfaces—one revelation at a time.

Darling For Hire

Man and Woman standing close to each other.

Darling For Hire

Brianna has rules. Keep her grades up. Stay invisible. And never let her two lives collide.


To the world, she’s just a quiet college student who prefers to stay in her own lane. But under the fake lashes, black wig, and a name that isn’t hers, she’s something else entirely—a high-end escort with a schedule and a secret to protect.


Everything works fine... until Zaiden McLauren walks in.


He’s rich, rude, and used to getting what he wants. What he needs now is a fake girlfriend to play nice in front of his family—and to Brianna’s horror, he picks her. The same arrogant billionaire who once made her blood boil is now the man she has to smile at in public and keep up appearances with behind closed doors.


But this isn’t the job she signed up for.


Because the closer they pretend to be, the harder it gets to remember what’s real... and what’s just part of the act.


Review:

Sofialexandra Shalom’s Darling For Hire is a whip-smart, emotionally layered romance that blends sharp humor, simmering tension, and the ache of double lives. 

Brianna, the protagonist, is a master of compartmentalization: college student by day, high-end escort by night. Her rules are simple—stay invisible, stay sharp, and never let the masks slip. But when Zaiden McLauren, a billionaire with a chip on his shoulder and a family to appease, hires her to play the role of his fake girlfriend, Brianna’s carefully curated world begins to unravel.

The story starts with a delicious bait-and-switch: a steamy dream sequence interrupted by the blunt reality of morning chaos and Maureen, Brianna’s best friend and comic foil. Shalom’s voice is breezy and biting, capturing the rhythm of female friendship, the exhaustion of survival, and the yearning for something more. Brianna’s inner monologue is a cocktail of sarcasm, longing, and grit.

This isn’t just a romance novel. It’s a story about performance, boundaries, and the blurry line between fantasy and reality. Brianna’s job at Deja’s Darlings is transactional, but her emotional landscape is anything but. She’s juggling the complexities of her own life, all while navigating the emotional minefield of pretending to be someone’s perfect partner.

Zaiden’s entrance promises friction and fire. He’s the kind of man Brianna swore off—arrogant, entitled, and far too observant. But as the fake relationship deepens, so does the danger of forgetting what’s real. 

Shalom doesn’t just explore romantic chemistry; she interrogates power, vulnerability, and the cost of keeping secrets.

Darling For Hire is ideal for readers who crave banter, tension, and heroines who are equal parts sharp and soft. It’s a story that laughs in the face of tropes, then turns them into something raw, real, and irresistibly readable.

I IRS (My Hell of Life)

Two Faces Looking Stern with American Flag

From poverty to persecution, from faith to fire—this is a life the IRS couldn’t audit.

In I IRS (My Hell of Life), James M. Moten delivers an unfiltered memoir of survival, racism, and spiritual endurance. Born in Crockett, Texas, and raised amid the cruel realities of segregation and poverty, Moten’s story begins where most would end—with tragedy. From the “Texas Inferno,” where systemic racism and violence took lives without justice, to the “House of Horrors” in Tucson, where hunger and hardship forged his resilience, every chapter reveals the making of a man shaped by pain but sustained by purpose.

Through the voice of lived experience, Moten recounts a life haunted by loss yet guided by angels—his unshakeable faith in God serving as his compass through every trial. His journey through La Reforma, a turbulent housing project he dubs the “Racial World War III,” exposes the raw reality of American division and the strength it takes to rise above it. Eventually, his path leads to the IRS—an unlikely battlefield where racism takes on institutional form, and perseverance becomes rebellion.

Moten’s life story mirrors the emotional gravity of works like The Autobiography of Malcolm X and Between the World and Me—but it stands apart in its candor. His words pierce with both pain and perseverance, turning his autobiography into a testament of divine protection and human grit.

"A raw and unflinching memoir of survival, resilience, and faith against unimaginable odds." - MainSpring Books

This is not just the story of an IRS agent—it’s the chronicle of a man who wrestled hell and lived to tell the truth.

A journey through suffering, faith, and redemption—I IRS (My Hell of Life) is proof that survival is its own kind of grace.
