Once upon a time there lived an ambitious boy determined to become a man before his time.

And there lived a woman, one who believed herself past the point of redemption. Her scars mild in comparison to the secrets she holds.

Intent on his quest, Tyler enlists the only person who can help him—his best friend’s volatile aunt, Delphine. A woman twelve years his senior, and one he can’t seem to stop fantasizing about.

Delphine’s only goal is to shape him into the Raven soldier he needs to be. But the forbidden connection between them grows.

It’s the forging of their bond that will irrevocably change them both.

And for Tyler, it’s the loss of that love that will birth the warrior within.

But then, nothing has ever been fair in love and war . . .

Someone Knows by Vi Keeland is LIVE.  An English professor’s deadly past comes back to haunt her in this chilling and sexy thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Vi Keeland. Check out my spoiler-free review of Someone Knows.

Synopsis:

As a college English professor, Elizabeth looks forward to the start of each new semester teaching her creative writing seminar. At least until she reads chapter one of The Reckoning, a tale about a high school senior who has an affair with her teacher. To anyone else it would be the beginning of a great page-turner, but to Elizabeth it is the beginning of the end.

She knows this story. It’s all familiar because she lived it. The girl in the story was her best friend Jocelyn, and Elizabeth knows exactly how the story will end—with the teacher dead. Because she was the one who killed him.

Someone knows what Elizabeth did twenty years ago and her secret is about to be exposed, but who is the mystery student submitting the chapters? In an effort to find out, Elizabeth returns to her Louisiana hometown where it soon becomes clear that no matter how many years have gone by, she can’t escape her past.

Synopsis:

Jase Gizmodo is the wild card of the world-famous band BENT. He drums like a legend, lives like a rebel, and attracts headlines like a magnet.

Enter Hendrix Wright. Cookie queen. Small business owner. And barely hanging on. Her dream bakery is on the brink of closing its doors thanks to her ex’s betrayal, and she needs a miracle. Who knew a chance meeting with a charming, enigmatic, and incredibly sexy stranger in a coffee shop would change all that?

Because falling for a rockstar was never part of the plan.

But surrendering? That might be the sweetest risk of all.

A sizzling one-night-stand, billionaire romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann …

I’m the arrogant one. She’s the woman who could tame me. What I don’t expect is to fall in love.

The minute I hear her laugh, I smile.
The second my fingers touch hers, I never want to let them go.
When my eyes take her in, I know …

Her body has me in a choke hold.

At daybreak, the bed is cold, and Sadie is gone.
And for the first time in my life, the scorching chemistry and carnal memories leave me wanting more.

Consumed.
Enthralled.
Obsessed.

But she has secrets in her eyes.
They match the ones in mine.

Blurb:

Weddings. I spend every working minute thinking and talking and writing about weddings, when the very concept makes me want to scream. After my fiancé abandoned me at the altar last year, my dream job at Bride magazine has turned reoccurring nightmare.

To add insult to injury, I’ve been conscripted into the bridal party of some bridezilla just because she knows the owners’ son. So of course I spend all afternoon bickering with one of the groomsmen and all evening making out with him.

Things only get better when I learn that of course he’s the owner’s son and I’ll have to spend the rest of the season working with him at every single wedding I cover this year.

Can the jilted bride and the man who is afraid of love find a way to heal each other?

Sisters Cassie and Zoe Grossberg were born just a year apart but could not have been more different. Zoe, blessed with charm and beauty, yearned for fame from the moment she could sing into a hairbrush. Cassie was a musical prodigy who never felt at home in her own skin and preferred the safety of the shadows.

On the brink of adulthood in the early 2000s, destiny intervened, catapulting the sisters into the spotlight as the pop sensation the Griffin Sisters, hitting all the touchstones of early aughts fame—SNL, MTV, Rolling Stone magazine—along the way.

But after a whirlwind year in the public eye, the band abruptly broke up.

Two decades later, Zoe’s a housewife; Cassie’s off the grid. The sisters aren’t speaking, and the real reason for the Griffin Sisters’ breakup is still a mystery. Zoe’s teenage daughter, Cherry, who’s determined to be a star in spite of Zoe’s warnings, is on a quest to learn the truth about what happened to the band all those years ago.

As secrets emerge, all three women must face the consequences of their choices: the ones they made and the ones the music industry made for them. Can they forgive each other—and themselves? And will the Griffin Sisters ever make music again?
