Red Spotlight

 

Title: Red #2

Author: M.K. Harkins

Description: The big, bad wolf is the least of her worries…

Breaking free from her homeschooled cocoon, Lily is ecstatic to head off to college. She’s waving goodbye to her mom’s doom-and-gloom speeches about the big, scary world, ready to embrace freedom without a care.

George is every girl’s dream—funny, smart, and handsome. But he’s still wrecked by the mysterious disappearance of his high school sweetheart. He yearns for closure but wallows in self-pity, pining for his lost love.

Sparks fly when Lily and George meet, and their mutual attraction is instantaneous. But George resists their electric connection and retreats. Frustrated by his repeated rejections, Lily is ready to walk away for good.'

Behind the scenes, an inexperienced fairy godmother teams up with an annoyingly handsome and arrogant guardian angel to stop Lily from ditching her true soulmate, George—a potentially catastrophic decision. While they debate their strategy, an enemy from George’s past devises a greedy and revengeful plot that could destroy everything. Can George save Lily, or will he suffer a lonely future—this time, forever?

When fairies, guardian angels, and mortals collide, anything can happen.

While this novel is a complete tale in itself, delving into the first book, Ashes, will enrich your understanding of the characters and their journey.

MK has always been a voracious reader. After hitting a dry spell of reading material, she decided to write the kind of book she'd like to read.

This resulted in the creation of her debut novel, Intentional. (Award for Best Sweet Romance - eFestival of Words- August 2014)

Unintentional, her second book, is based on the life of one of the characters in Intentional. Unintentional was written as a stand-alone book.

Breaking Braydon, Taking Tiffany, The Reader, The Jack, and Famous by Default have all been released on Amazon.

Ashes, the first book in a new series of modern-day fairy tale retellings, releases in May 2022. (Five more books in the series to follow)

When she's not writing novels, she likes to spend her free time traveling the world, splashing in mud puddles (She lives in Seattle, what can she say?), watching movies and reading (!)

She LOVES to hear from her readers!

Head over Skates Spotlight

 

Title: Head over Skates

Author: Gigi Blume

Description: From USA Today Bestselling Author Gigi Blume comes a new, standalone sports romance featuring a surly hockey star and the figure skater who has it in for him.

Sometimes you have to play dirty to score big.

OWEN:

I've never met a challenge I couldn't deke out—until Emily Brooks blasted into my world with all the subtlety of a slapshot to the face.

When an underwear incident (don’t ask) gives Emily ammunition for her gossip blog Blades After Dark, I’ve become her very reluctant muse. Perched on her Zamboni with a crafty smirk on that gorgeous face, she’s determined to turn my life into one big penalty box.

Not only does this woman have an Olympic-sized grudge against me, she cheered—yes, cheered—for the other team.

When I find out she has a secret she doesn’t want out, it’s gloves off.

I’m tempted to toss her right into the sin bin, but she’s skating circles around me.

In a catsuit. (don’t ask about that, either)

But now the championship cup’s gone missing, and we find ourselves sleuthing in closed quarters—despite Emily’s stubborn determination to keep me at stick's length.

Now I can’t stop thinking about that stolen kiss, and I want another taste.

Am I playing for keeps? Or am I the one who's being played?

EMILY:

My Olympic figure skating dreams got toe-picked, but driving a Zamboni at the Toronto Blizzard Dome has its perks—like not being recognized.

Beneath the cloak of anonymity, my words do what my skates used to; they slice with precision—in my late-night hockey blog.

Enter Owen Jablonski, the cocky star player with more notches on his hockey stick than all the pucks in Canada. Yet he singles me out to—get this—come on to me.

The gall. But the pen is mightier than the skate blade, so they say.

Do I have reasons for slamming Owen’s name against the boards? Yes, I do.

And when a funny post about him goes viral, can you blame me for finding Owen's flustered face a little bit delightful?

But instead of a simple exposé, Owen turns the tables on me and brokers a twisted deal: polish his precious public image in my blog in exchange for his silence on my identity. It's extortion with a side of sultry glares.

And secret kisses against the wall.

He's maddening, infuriating... a reeaaally good kisser.

Now I’m stuck in a reluctant pact with Owen. Stack on a mystery and the sting of his smoldering kiss on my mind, the heat between us might just melt all the ice in the rink.

He’s not what I expected, or wanted. How fiercely protective he is. How he insists I wear his jersey. How my heart flips when he stands up for me.

Or the way his eyes rake over me with want.

Oof. Is it getting hot in here?

I need to body-check my feelings before Owen scores more than just goals.

Lace up your skates and get ready to laugh, cry, and swoon. Head Over Skates is just the ticket for those who love their sports RomCom served with a side of snark, witty banter, and just a hint of mayhem.
